Speaker 1: it's trash. It hurts because of many reasons. That's one

22
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: of the reasons I started going through the pictures. Last night.

23
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: I posted it on on I g a sad face.

24
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,080

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Like at the end of the year. I usually put

26
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: the other a little montage of pictures or whatever. And

27
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: I put it up on Instagram last night, and it's

28
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: just like, man, Wow, that went by real fast, went

29
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: by real quick, and just like that, it's done. I'm

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: just over here trying to figure out, Oh gosh, were

31
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: you stirring up over there. I'm not stirring up anything.

32
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: You're starting up trouble. I'm stirring up anything, Apparently, I'm not.

33
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: You know, We're still get a little bit of nation

34
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: right wide trouble that you're stirring up over there. We're

35
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: just sitting here dealing with dealing with the loss, uh

36
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: you know, back in Santa Claure, Santa Clair that the

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys said, and still kind of going through the grieving

38
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: process of that as we start to unfortunately try to

39
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: turn the page to the off season that has now

40
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: arrived earlier than we would have liked or anticipated, but

41
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, also later than the haters anticipated. So true.

42
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: But that said, um, you know, and we said it yesterday.

43
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: One percent honorable and and noble for Dak Prescott to

44
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: step up and say, hey, those two interceptions were one

45
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: hundred percent on me, uh, saying how he has to

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: do better, saying that he will go into the off season,

47
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: and virtually guaranteeing that the interception number that he put

48
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: up this year will not occur in twenty twenty three. Um.

49
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: And and you know, I wrote the article basically detailing

50
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: the things that went wrong in San Francisco, you know,

51
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: the science is the science, and giving Dak a salute

52
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: for taking accountability. And we put the article out on Twitter,

53
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: and instead of everybody taking it as hey, Dak Prescott

54
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: took accountability, everybody's like, oh, the team is throwing them

55
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: under the bus. Where's the bus? I don't I don't

56
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: see the bus. But you know, Twitter is going to Twitter.

57
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Twitteros are going to Twitter. You know what I mean?

58
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: So I know what you mean. No, see, Yeah, but

59
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Is it's even more hilarious as this grows

60
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: to its own thing, because first of all, I know

61
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: how the game works. I get the game. Um, you

62
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: know the guys that what's the name of that show?

63
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: First Fake? Okay, so that show. So I know what

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: their formula. Um, you know, uh Pat Fugazy, I know

65
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: his formula. I mean I know the formula. Right. So

66
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: the formula is for them to look at the trending

67
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: topics rather they care about it or not, and then

68
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: they formulate segments off of it so that that can generate,

69
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: continue to stir up the hive, and you know, you

70
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: get the people who are angry, and you get them angrier,

71
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: not realizing over maybe realizing that those people didn't read

72
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: the article in the first place anyway, because had they

73
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: read it, they would have seen that it detailed all

74
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,119
Speaker 1: of the things that went wrong on offense as a whole.

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: But you didn't read the article. Hell, you didn't even

76
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: read the tweet. Because if you're at the tweet, then

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: you felt their quotation marks in the tweet that says

78
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: dak Prescott dak On lost to forty nine. It doesn't

79
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: say no see on dak On lost forty So for

80
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: those who read the tweet appropriately, for those that read

81
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: the article and continue to follow the science and half

82
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: follow the science up to this point, and thankfully will

83
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: continue to follow the science. I thank you, we love

84
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: you here talking Cowboys, we love you here Dallas Cowboys

85
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: dot com, and I love you for following the Science

86
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: Lab that comes out weekly and will continue to into

87
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: the off season. But I just wanted to kind of

88
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: get that off my chists. It's it's it's sad that

89
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: this is the society we're in, but it's the society

90
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: we're in, and really could have been resolved by one

91
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: or two people just simply reading what was right in

92
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: front of them instead of reading what they think they

93
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: saw because they're upset in the moment and they need

94
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: somebody to attack. And if you want to see the

95
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: tweet yourself, it's still up there because it's nothing's wrong

96
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: with it. It was tweeted yesterday ten forty eight pm,

97
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: or no, excuse me on Sunday at ten forty eight pm.

98
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: It's that it's got Dak Prescott looking down at a tablet.

99
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: That's the photo that's on the article. It's actually a

100
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: good article. I really liked it. Thank you, Yeah, because

101
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: I actually read it because because hey, this is this

102
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: is a social media lesson for everybody. How about you

103
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: click the article and then you read the article before

104
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: you retweet, and you start providing opinions on the article.

105
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: And here's what makes it even more more sad is

106
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: that even if you are a headline replier, which that's

107
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: just bad. Don't be a headline remplier. That that's just

108
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: one of the worst types of human beings. But even

109
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: if you what about a Jeff a replier, somebody that

110
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: just replies in Jeff's you think that's a good thing.

111
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: I think it's awesome. I think that Dunny, that's all

112
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: I said, does on Twitter. That's he's defending it. But yeah,

113
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: even if you had just read that headline, then you

114
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: notice it says dak or lost to forty nine ers.

115
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak is taking his accountability. So what everyone

116
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: should be doing, UM, while the collective of Cowboys Nation

117
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: is grieving it and trying to move forward into the

118
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: off season to see what needs to happen in twenty

119
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: twenty three, to see what will or will not happen

120
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: four twenty twenty three, UM, give a salute to Dak

121
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: Prescott out and stand that he made those mistakes. And

122
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: we pointed out those mistakes, and we'll continue to point

123
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: out those mistakes, and he's pointed out those mistakes himself.

124
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: But for him to be able to stand forward, stand

125
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: up and say, hey, you know what, that's on me again,

126
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: that's honorable, that's noble, and that's a leader, and that's

127
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: what you want leading the locker room going forward. So

128
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: now it's just a matter of fixing the issues. And

129
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: he's already getting to work on that. So you know,

130
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: bottom line, read the article or shut up? There's the

131
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: line there. You go? Ye? How about that? All right,

132
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: let's and maybe don't start fights courts up. Yeah, that's

133
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: probably a good one too. Let's talk about some of

134
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: the next day observations. I'm sure everybody here's just gone

135
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: back and watched the film. Everybody here has gone back

136
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: and maybe gotten some ounce of sleep, of thinking about

137
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: what's going on and what went on with the cowboys.

138
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: But Isaiah, now that you've had a little bit to

139
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: stir on, and what's still the number one takeaway for

140
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: you in the loss to the forty nine ers? You

141
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: give them exture opportunities. Yeah, I mean that's really what

142
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: it comes down to. I mean, you we I don't

143
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: want to be the Dead Hordes. But we talked about

144
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: yesterday how you shut down Bossa, you shut down four

145
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: of their top five weapons and you still find a

146
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: way to lose the game. That's just something that you

147
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: just can't do. It's not foreseen. That's not if anybody

148
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: would put that on paper and say, you're gonna shut down,

149
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: shut down the number one second leader in the in

150
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: the league, and you're gonna shut down four the top

151
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: five weapons for San Francisco, that's a dub. That's a dub,

152
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: and it wasn't And you have to go back and

153
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: analyze why he wasn't a dub. I think we all

154
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: know that everybody. You can always sit back and say

155
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: everybody could have played better. Every everything nobody grades out

156
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: at one hundred percent unless you're a kicker. Um, that

157
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: wasn't the case either. But you know, dec Ridian man,

158
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: they we're not gonna keep beating deck into the ground.

159
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: There's things that he has to improve on, and I

160
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: think there seems that he can do to put his

161
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: teams in better situations, and the organization will do what

162
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: they can to put this organization and this team in

163
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: the future and a better predicament to win the ballgame,

164
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: and that's you lose. You you learn more and losses

165
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: than you then you learn in wins. And I just

166
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: my hope is that dak this offense and its totality,

167
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: this defense. You know, there's things that they can learn

168
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: from this year as well. Obviously, Um, they didn't turn

169
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: a ball over the way in which they wanted to

170
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: turn a ball over. They didn't do it like they

171
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: did last year. I think they are more effective at

172
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: certain areas. They're going to improve upon their rush defense. Right.

173
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: There's everybody has work to do to contribute to potential

174
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: wins in the future. And now this is a time

175
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: when everybody goes back to the lab and you identify

176
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: your issues, You identify the points in the in areas

177
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: that you can that you need to address, and then

178
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: you address them. It's definitely back to the drawing board

179
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Um. I mean there's a lot of

180
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: opportunity for improvement to be taken away. Like Iris is saying, um,

181
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: and in that same breath, thankfully, it's not about rebuilding

182
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: or blowing everything up. Um. You have one of the

183
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: better draft classes that you've acquired in recent history, in

184
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two draft class from Tyler Smith to

185
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: Sam Williams. You know, obviously question Mark still on Jalen Tibert.

186
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: But go down there, mister Deron bland Um, Damon Clark.

187
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Payton Hindershot as an undrafted guy,

188
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson as a fourth round I mean the list

189
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: goes on and non, so tons of promise when you

190
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: add that up against you know, uh, you know, acquiring

191
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons in the first round and you know, previous

192
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: to that, CD Lamb. So your draft formula is magnificent.

193
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Is it perfect? No, it's not perfect. They're thirty two

194
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: teams in the league, and no draft strategy is perfect.

195
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: Every team has an album charcer or two around their neck.

196
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: We're like, oh, we shouldn't have done that. But when

197
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: you have the hit rate that the Cowboys have draft wise,

198
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: that that remains something to be excited about. So they're

199
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: building the right way. As far as how they're building

200
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: through the draft, You've seen them now really get out

201
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: there in free agency, maybe not as much as a

202
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: lot of people would like to believe, but we talk

203
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: about the addition of Jason Peters, Anthony Barr, give me

204
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: another t Y Hilton. Um, the list goes on and

205
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: on it then previous to this year, jay Ron Curse,

206
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: Malie Cooker. I mean they're making moves and free agency

207
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: that are putting pieces Jonathan Hankins, the acquisition that the

208
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: trade acquisition this year, That's what I was looking for.

209
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: So they they're addressing positions of need and they're throwing

210
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: talent at it be at the draft and by way

211
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: of free agency. So that's promising. But um was doing

212
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: in the off season to tweak I wish they would

213
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: do all that work in the off season. Well that's

214
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: my thing. What do you feel there they're missing in

215
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: off season free agencies? What you're yeah, yeah, of course

216
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: the draft always happens. I think you can look at

217
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: it both ways because I see what you're saying, and

218
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: you're not wrong. Um. But I've always been of the

219
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: concept of free agents. The free agency pool as a

220
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: whole for me also includes free agents that wore a

221
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys helmet the year preseason. I agree with you, So like,

222
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: retain your guys, guys that you know and that have

223
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: been in the bill. Then you know their work ethic,

224
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: you know what they're about. If they're able to keep

225
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, for example this offseason, That for me is

226
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: a huge free agency acquisition. Yeah. Now, most wouldn't view

227
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: it that way because they'd say, oh, well, you know,

228
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: we were talking about getting someone out from outside the building.

229
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: Well you're not wrong in thinking that way, But I

230
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: think it needs to add to you know, who are

231
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: if you keep Donovan Wilson, that's a huge free agency

232
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: get right, Cowboys have a laundry list of free agents

233
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: in house that they need to try to keep. Here,

234
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: Layton vanderesh right, these are players that other teams are

235
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: going to be actively going for. You're going to be

236
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: bidding against other teams for these types of talent. The

237
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: names that I just mentioned, and in several more so,

238
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: if you can retain them, that means you won those battles.

239
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: That means you did acquire big free agency names, even

240
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: if by retaining them is what I'm saying. Who's the

241
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: number one name right now? Who's the number one free

242
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: agent Dallas Cowboys player? Right now? It have to be

243
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, right right, It's probably Tony. This is a

244
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: list put out by Oh thanks Beamer. This is a

245
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: list put out by Greg Rosenthal just a couple of

246
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago. This is prior to the playoffs, and Tony

247
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: Pollo towards ranked number twenty on that list of NFL

248
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: free agents. Entering into twenty twenty two, he's probably higher

249
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: on that list now. The injury might be something that

250
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: keeps him out of the top ten. But there's three

251
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles in the top eight of that list. Because

252
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: guess what, they go out and they work free agency,

253
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: they go and resign some of these guys. I want

254
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: to go get some of that talent. I want to

255
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: go get some talent out there that you can supplement

256
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: with the draft, and then from the draft, whatever you

257
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: don't supplement, then you can pick it up in the

258
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: middle of the season, like t Y Hilton's and the

259
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins. Do you believe that the Eagles aggressiveness in

260
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: this offseason contributed to their position at their end right now? Absolutely?

261
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: I think it looked they looked at their quarterback and

262
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: they said, Wow, Jalen Hurts is a good quarterback. Did

263
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: they say he's an elite quarterback? Go do it all

264
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: on your own. No, they didn't say that. I think

265
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: that's what you have to do. With Dak Prescott right now,

266
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: I think coming into this year with Jalen Hursts, I

267
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: think they said, we're gonna put so much talent around

268
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: you that you can't mess it if you mess it up,

269
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: like you know that you're the problem, You're the issue, Yeah,

270
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: which is what happened. He hasn't messed it up yet.

271
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: You know what I would love to see as we

272
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: sit here and talk about free agents, just kind of

273
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: from the aspect of an in house guy. Yes, you

274
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: want to see what Jalen Tilbord has And I honestly

275
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: would still double back at wide receiver in the draft,

276
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: and that's a conversation to come, but man, it would

277
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: be exciting to consider what an entire offseason in training camp,

278
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, would do for t Y Hilton's chemistry with

279
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. There's something there and I feel like it

280
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: just didn't get explored enough, especially we talked about one target,

281
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: one catch, fifteen yards and you know, the biggest game

282
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: of the season in San Francisco. But I feel like

283
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: there is something there. So I think t Y Hilton

284
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: will be a wonderful bridge player in that position, even

285
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: if you double back in the draft and hoping that

286
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Tilber takes that next step. I think t Y

287
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: Hilton could be the cool hand loop opposite Ceedee Lamb

288
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: in that equation. And I'm also looking forward to hopefully

289
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup getting back to being MG thirteen, the pre

290
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: injury version. Do you think he could be better next year?

291
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: Who Michael Gallup? Yes? Do you think he can take

292
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: a bigger leap back into what he was prior to

293
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: the injury just with an off season full of healthy Yes,

294
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: he'd be that far, that much more removed time wise

295
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: from the injury itself. And you're working on I'm not

296
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: just gonna sound bad. He's working on the areas of

297
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: his game that he needs to improve upon, like in

298
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: particularly right, you know what I'm saying, Like the fine

299
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: focus on improving on those areas versus working on trying

300
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: to get healthy. It's two separate entities. And I think

301
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: that he was working on trying to become healthy this

302
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: all season right so that he can be available, versus

303
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: he wasn't working on the areas that that now are

304
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: highlighting that he needs to address, which is getting out

305
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: of his brakes right, the muscular endurance, right, all those

306
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: type of things. Those are things he needs to prove upon.

307
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Now that he is healthy, he could focus on those

308
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: because now he's not worried about his injury. Yeah. I also,

309
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean going back to the Dak conversation, I was

310
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: looking it up a minute ago, but you look at

311
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts in that situation, specifically in Philadelphia being in

312
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: the NFC title game. He's also on a rookie contract,

313
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: so they have some money elsewhere to go and spend,

314
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: because if they were, I think he's got like a

315
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: one point seven million dollars a cap hit this year.

316
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: Next year it's gonna be four point seven, which is

317
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: still nothing versus what is forty nine? Well forty nine. Yeah,

318
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: but you talk about what Jalen Hurts market value is

319
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: right now, resolve that he hurts market value of what

320
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: he would be if you resigned him right now forty four. Yeah,

321
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: So he's that changes your roster? Yeah, I agree, I agree,

322
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: totally agree, And so there but a little bit of space.

323
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: But with the space that they did have, they stress

324
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm tell abo, Yeah, Phil and again

325
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this stuff all season. I don't

326
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: think this roster was the problem. I don't think the

327
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: roster was a problem. I don't think the roster was

328
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: a problem last year. I don't think the roster was

329
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: a problem this year. It was the execution. It was execution.

330
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: Doesn't the execution fall back on the roster. I think

331
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott is capable in his current state. I

332
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: think he's very capable of putting his team in a

333
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: winning position. I think I don't think that he did. Okay, now,

334
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: the other people who played a role in that, but

335
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: in terms of somebody who was in has a huge

336
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: who has an ability to drastically change the dynamic in

337
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: the outcome of the game, who gets the ball in

338
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: his hand every play. He did not do what he

339
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: wanted to do or what he was even capable of doing,

340
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: and that was a problem for him the whole second

341
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: half of the year. I mean the whole year really,

342
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: but especially the second half of the year. Right, you

343
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: talk about the seventeen interceptions over fourteen games, like, that's

344
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: not playing winning football. He's capable of reading coverages, He's

345
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 1: capable of making the right decision. Those are the things

346
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: that got him in problem. In a situation it wasn't

347
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 1: the the lack of velocity, It wasn't always the ball location.

348
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: But those are things that he can approve upon still too, right,

349
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: So it's not a lack of It's not as like

350
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: he can't attain these characteristics, he can't attain this level

351
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: of excellence. He just isn't there right now. Yeah, for me,

352
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: it's it's just in the aspect of interceptions. It's and

353
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: I mentioned this before, just in a slump. When it

354
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: comes to that. He when you're in a slump, be

355
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: it as a quarterback, as a picture. You saw Brett

356
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: Maher get into that slump out of nowhere. It's hard

357
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: to break out of that slump. For whatever reason. It

358
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: could be execution, which is definitely a thing decision making

359
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: which goes to execution, and then you have bad luck

360
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: because you have the receivers tipping the balls up and

361
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: creating an interception. It's just you can't seem to get

362
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: out of that vortex. And you've seen that kind of

363
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: frustration Dak Prescott's face after some of those interceptions later

364
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: in the season, where he's just sitting there on the

365
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: grass like what the hell is going on here? And

366
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: it was it reminds me of what Ezekiel Elliott was

367
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: dealing with a couple of seasons or so ago the Pombos,

368
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: And he was dealing with the rash of fumble, something

369
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: that he for the most part, hadn't been known for,

370
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he was putting the ball

371
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: on the ground time and time and time again. And

372
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: at some point in that season, about the midpoint, he

373
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: really started to dial in on it, him and running

374
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: backs coach Skip Pete and they got it fixed. Whence

375
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: the last time you remember Ezekiel Elliott fumbling the ball

376
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: either Hie and like the past two seasons. So when

377
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: you look at it from that aspect, I'm confident that

378
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: you're addressing. While while the slump did occur and that

379
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: sucked and he just couldn't get out of that vortex,

380
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: well now you have an entire offseason to work out

381
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: coming out of that vortex mentally, and much like Ezekiel

382
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: Elliott was able to finally escape the Bermuda triangle of

383
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: those fumbles, I'm confident Dak Prescott will be able to

384
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: do so because he's This is not Dak Prescott. For

385
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: those that are saying, oh, well, this is I think

386
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: I saw a tweet on the plane ride back from

387
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: from Santa Clara or someone was like, well, no, that's

388
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: just Dak Prescott roverting back to that Prescott are you

389
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: talking about he had gold rookie season. Just historically, historically

390
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: he has not turned the ball over. That's been his

391
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: calling card. So that's proof that this is just completely

392
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: out of the norm. This is an aberration for Dak Prescott,

393
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: and I'm I look forward to him repairing it because

394
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: I'm confident that he can't. Yeh, yeah, but this is

395
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: not a personnel issue. You can always improve your personnel.

396
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: But this this season's failure. Sure, because any team that

397
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: doesn't win a Super bowls failure. I don't care what

398
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: you say, right, agreed, it was not personnel. So everybody's

399
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: pointing finger towards a front office. I think that front

400
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: officer doesn't done an immaculate job. Now, have they done

401
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 1: it the way that I would like them to do it. No,

402
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: they've done it a discount Dovia check way. But they

403
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: still find a way to put together one hell of

404
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: a wrong. No, you're right, They've done a great job

405
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: of going out and finding bargains and finding guys that

406
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: are going to make an impact, and they're gonna do

407
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: it on a cheap, which is a huge key of

408
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: winning games in the NFL. So credit to them and

409
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: doing so. Scouting was about to say, is incredible. You

410
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: look at the draft in what they've done. They drafted

411
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: another starter this year in Tyler Smith. He's going to

412
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: be a starter for a long time. He had Ceedee

413
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: Lamb two years ago, Michael Parsons two years ago or

414
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: three years ago for two d But here's the thing.

415
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: I agree with you halfway. Okay, I'll meet you halfway.

416
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: Meet me at the top of the mountain. I'm halfway.

417
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you half halfway. You can get out

418
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: come down. I think the roster was good enough to

419
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: make it work if you had somebody who was the reason,

420
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: the guy, and you expected that to be Dak Prescott. Yes,

421
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: and that didn't happen. He wasn't the guy. But I

422
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: still think Dak is a great quarterback here, I really do.

423
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: I think he's a really, really good quarterback. But is

424
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: he good enough to be the reason that you win

425
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? No, he needs help around him to

426
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: do that. I agree with you. I totally which means

427
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: how where roster wasn't good enough. Okay, I see what

428
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: you're saying there. I can see your point. Yeah, I believe,

429
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: and I've said at a gazillion times on this show.

430
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: He needs a running game exactly, he needs he Tony

431
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: Pollard was a piece of that help and he went down.

432
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: He was. But so then you gotta start peeling back

433
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: to the layers. Okay, Tony Pollard got hurt. Zeke was ineffective. Okay,

434
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: Zeke's not what he used to be. Everybody understands that.

435
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: He understands that. But what do you have to go

436
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: back to what creates those holes? Offensive line? There you go.

437
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: So it's fine too. I said it yesterday. I I'm

438
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: a fan. I was like, they have to get back

439
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: to emphasizing bullyball up front. And if they were able

440
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: to do that, then once they secure that solid front line,

441
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: then you could do whatever the heck you want to

442
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: passing wise with Dak. Yeah, but still that doesn't change

443
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: his decision making. I I don't always agree nor listen

444
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: to national personalities. I like to form my own opinions.

445
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: I saw this yesterday after I had already said this

446
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: on a couple of calls throughout the morning. Our friend

447
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: David Hellman, of course, formerly at Dallas Cowboys dot com,

448
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: now at Fox. He said, and this is a tweet

449
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: that I agree with completely, said Sunday, emphasize something I

450
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: think we already knew. Dak Prescott isn't good enough to

451
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: be and he capitalized these two words. The reason his

452
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: team wins. The brutal truth, though, is that I'm not

453
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: sure there are more than two to four of those

454
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL right now, which I agree. Two

455
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: of those four are in the playoffs still, and they're

456
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: both on the AFC side. That's Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes.

457
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: He said, Dak Prescott needs more help, and that's okay.

458
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,320

459
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: a really, really good quarterback. He's he's not there. It's

460
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: just like when I first came out and said that

461
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: he's a play action quarterback, people are like, oh my god,

462
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: no disrespect. It's okay, it's okay. He's valuable to your organization,

463
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: no doubt. So you pay him because he's valuable to

464
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: your organization, but understanding the parameters and what he can

465
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: and can't do. You need to make sure that you

466

492
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: be secure to jog in the Cheetah saventa. Todd believed

493
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable, and

494
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: now Todd is trying to be faster than this cheetah

495
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: that can run eighty miles per hop. But the good

496
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: news is Todd has AT and T five G. It

497
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the best

498
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: thing to do is stop running and toss her the

Speaker 1: to Cowboys Nation one final time on a Talking Tuesday

519
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: here for the twenty twenty two campaign. Let's start things

520
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: off across the pond. Let's go out to Italy. We're

521
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: our friend. Marco now joins us. You're on Talking Cowboys. Marco,

522
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: You're on Talking Cowboys. How's it going, Hey, guy's good morning.

523
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me again. Of course, what's on

524
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: your mind, Marco, I wanted to share my Matthew with

525
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: you and hear you know what you're think about it.

526
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: In my opinion, there are reasons for hope. Last year's

527
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: problems penalties, reds on offense, run defense, they've been largely addressed,

528
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: and personally, I can enjoy a similarity with the Green

529
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: Bay Pakers of the early nineties when they lost three

530
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: times against the Cowboys in the playoffs and they eventually

531
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: came back to in the Super Bowl. If you look

532
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: at the last three years, Cowboys team has constantly improved

533
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: six and ten, twelve and five, lost in the World

534
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,959
Speaker 1: Card Game, twelsand five US in the Division ground. So

535
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: then the question becomes is that the right guy to

536
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: carry this team to the victories? Well he's not Brett

537
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: fab who led those Bakers, not Tom Brady or even

538
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: Joe Barrow. Team of the side. Who is, guys? Is

539
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: it your contents or Matthew Stafford? Because if the team

540
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: is excellent, Matthew Stafford can win a Super Bowl and

541
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: that can certainly play at Stafford's level. So give him

542
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: an ex team. N the game changing player in free

543
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: agency who can also set the tone for the entire team.

544
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: Consistency is the key, right The Rams did it with

545
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: all be Jane Burmiller, the Niners who did it with McCaffrey,

546
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did it back in the nineties, which I

547
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: was hailing then senders. So that would be my recipe

548
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: for for for next year, for the off season. Um,

549
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: I hang up, I'll listen to you know your your

550
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: view on what I say. I just want to say,

551
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you for your excellent coverage

552
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: during the year. A lot of you guys. You make

553
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: me feel there with you. It's wonderful to to to

554
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, to listen to you and to participate from

555
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: time to time. Good blessed, thank you, thank you, thank

556
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: you so much. Really appreciate that. Marco, there's an extra

557
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: seat open if you if you really want to come

558
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: over and come over to the US side. Uh, he

559
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: brings up. Excellent point. I leave their food, Huh would

560
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: you leave their food? And no way. I'll be over

561
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: in Italy by the way, and there in September. I think,

562
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: I think that's when I got to link up with Marco.

563
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to link up with Marco to get

564
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: out there. I don't know what part we're going around Marcos. Dude,

565
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: I've literally never been over there, so stop chill, chill.

566
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: It's like a one time things. But he brought up

567
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: some some great points because positivity is hard to come

568
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: by right now because I'm angry, everybody's angry, everybody's disappointed.

569
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm furious, curious. I grew up a Cowboys fan. I

570
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: want to see a championship game. I almost cussed there,

571
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: but I didn't. The thing with the thing with what

572
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: he said, though, is totally realistic where it happens before.

573
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: Teams just can't get over that one hump, and for

574
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: some reason, that's the San Francisco forty nine ers. But

575
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: you can't let this be your peak. You can't let

576
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: it be six and ten, twelve and five to the wildcard,

577
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: twelve and five to the divisional round and then tank

578
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: off after that. You gotta keep building, which is the

579
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: goal of the guys on the other side of the building.

580
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: What do you think about what he had to say? Though,

581
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: I love it um silver lining, because you know, most

582
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: dart clouds do have them, and it's it's not um,

583
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, disingenuous to kind of point out in the say, hey,

584
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: well while this, you know, all of this darkness exists,

585
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: and we can talk about this and we'll continue too.

586
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: There are silver liners. We just talked about the way

587
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are drafting. They're doing phenomenal work there. But yeah,

588
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: long story short, they have taken another step forward. This

589
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: is a team again most had written off before the

590
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: ball was kicked off in week two or in week one.

591
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: Think about all the people that were and and Cowboys

592
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: fans that were saying, let's just go yeah, watching the

593
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: season away because you don't have Randy Gregory, Lyle Collins

594
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: or Mark Cooper Mark Cooper. So at several points in

595
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: the off season and then again in the season after

596
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: the Green Bay loss, this team isn't They're one and

597
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: done after the loss in Jacksonville. This team is one

598
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: and done after the loss in Washington. Week A team

599
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: they're worlding into the playoffs like this, this team is

600
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: one and done. And it's against TB twelve, who's never

601
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: lost to them, And it's in the postseason, and it's

602
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: in TV twelves house, and and and and they go

603
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: out there and they walk TB twelve like a puppy.

604
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: And now did they get the job done ultimately. No, no,

605
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: they did not get the job done ultimately, because the

606
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: goal ultimately is to win the Super Bowl. But they did.

607
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: To Marco's point, they made another step forward. And if

608
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: they continue with that that pattern, then what's the next

609
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: step forward for twenty twenty three the NFC Conference Championship game.

610
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: So they're they're on the right track. They're they're not

611
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: moving at the speed at which even they would like

612
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: to be moving at because they'd like to be playing

613
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: this weekend in the Conference champions and then two weeks

614
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: from now. But they are moving forward, and to say

615
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: that they aren't, or to imply that they aren't, would

616
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: be completely inaccurate. What do you think I liked it?

617
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: It's pretty much what we just finished stadium in terms

618
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: of surrounding. You know, a quarterback, Go get a big

619
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: name free agent, or not even big name, but impact

620
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: free agent. Yeah yeah, just load up. It's the last

621
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: time they went and added a impact free agent. Whop

622
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: that wasn't the free agent was a trade that was

623
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: mid season. That's probably the closest thing, though, the closest thing.

624
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: I think that's probably right. You having mine just out

625
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: of curiosity, Well, honestly, I was asking, well, let's say

626
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: this position, which side of the ball. Yeah, offense, either

627
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: offense offense. You're gonna say receiver run. Yeah, no, I honestly,

628
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: honestly think three letters. Honestly from say three letters, you

629
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: don't know for me? Who is the three letters? Like?

630
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, people are crazy. It was a draft though.

631
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: People aren't crazy. I'm talking about the O center. Oh yeah.

632
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: I was like, don't say that for me. I'm gonna

633
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: say center, really center in the guard I think he

634
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: had just played. He leveled. I I like him. I'm

635
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: on record saying I like him. I don't think he's enough.

636
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: I've been on record of saying I don't think he's

637
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: enough for three years now. So I mean so I

638
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: don't I remember how much I want to tie with

639
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: the year. I love his effort. I think he's too small.

640
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: I like his effort. I like his effort, I like

641
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: his tenacity. I like all those things. I just think

642
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: he's too light. You should definitely have some old line questions,

643
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: because Connor McGovern is a free agent. Are you moving well?

644
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: You you are moving Tyron Smith back to left Tyckle.

645
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: That's gonna happen better if if if I'm Will McClay,

646
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: if I'm playing you know, Jerry Jones. I'm going out

647
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: there and I'm securing a big name center in a

648
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: big name guard, and I'm locking it in. M But

649
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: don't you have your guard? No left guard, Tyler, let's

650
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: talk about you know what. I like this idea. We

651
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: just become Okay, I like this is turning into a

652
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: whole show that we're gonna use next week. I want

653
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: to talk about the offensive line stated the offensive line.

654
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: I want to say, yeah, I want to talk about it,

655
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: because it's gonna start to become a conversation of Tyrn.

656
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: When is the end of the rope there? When is

657
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: the end of the rope? At Zack Martin? At some

658
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: point this year, you think, like now, like he's done

659
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: and he's played his last game as cowboy. I don't

660
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: agree with it. I think he I don't necessarily agree either,

661
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: but I don't think you're far off. I think he's

662
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: done feeling holes. M Okay, Well, we're gonna save this

663
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: the next week. We're gonna save this the next week.

664
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: We got a show on Tuesday. We're gonna save it

665
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: for that. All right, Let's go to Anthony and Rhode Island. Anthony,

666
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: you're on Talking Cowboys. It's great to be on Talking

667
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys with you all. Yesterday you made a comment about

668
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: get used to it because they're not getting rid of them.

669
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: And when you look at Dak Prescott in his seven

670
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: years and you look at the salary that he's going

671
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: to be commanding to get next year, I think it's

672
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: like forty millions the cap. Yeah. It's like when you

673
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: look at the two teams that drafted their quarterbacks before Prescott,

674
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: are they still with their team? No? No, And they said, hey, listen,

675
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: we gotta move on these guys on cutting it, and

676
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: they did. The Cowboys are not really like they don't

677
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: have to commit to him. If they commit to him,

678
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: then they're saying, well, you're on man. But sometimes when

679
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: you look at yes that game and there was two

680
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 1: crucial interceptions, it's like, he can't go there, he can't

681
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 1: throw that ball and put that defense back on the field.

682
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: When they did everything that they could for the Cowboys

683
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: to win that game. He put his team behind the

684
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: eight ball. That rookie quarterback, I'll played him. Yes, he

685
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: was only asked to do what he could do, and

686
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: he did it. And Zach Dak Prescott could have been

687
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: a little better with the ball, and he was like

688
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: his old self, just throwing it Millie Willie, I can

689
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: beat that guy and he couldn't. So Anthony, really quickly,

690
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: I want to ask, are you saying that you want

691
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: to move on from Dak you would like the franchise

692
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: to move on? Say it? What's your chess? Well, I'm

693
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: saying that in seven years cutting us to where we

694
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: could be. So therefore I'm saying, you know what, cut

695
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: your tides, move on, and I'm saying it's time to

696
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: start over again. He did say it with his chess.

697
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you for the call, Anthony, appreciate you,

698
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: Anthony and Rhode Island. I don't agree at all. I

699
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: really don't, and plus it would be really hard to

700
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: move on Dak Prescott. I am entitled to my opinion.

701
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: I do not agree, But at the same time, I

702
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 1: understand the frustration because this is gonna be year number

703
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: eight and this is where you've gotten. Brock Purty is

704
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: tied for all time career playoff wins with Dak Prescott.

705
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: They have the same amount of playoff wins. Brock Purty

706
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: his first playoff game was a week ago. I mean,

707
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: at some point the frustration built. Here's where I am

708
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: with it, and Anthony, first of all, thank you for

709
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: calling in, and you know, great points. I don't see

710
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: his eyebrows raise up because he said back to his

711
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: old ways, and we just said, we just talked about

712
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: if he was back to his old ways, he wouldn't

713
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: have been throwing the interceptions, So that's kind of an oxymoron.

714
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: I would say this, the two interceptions, as I said yesterday,

715
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: indefensible and I'm not going to try to defend it.

716
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have happened. Period. They can't happen, and especially

717
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: on a stage that big, they can't. They just can't.

718
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: But it's also true that the Cowboys are not going

719
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: to move on from Dak Prescott. And when you look

720
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: at the total body of work, he's shown enough for

721
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: you to believe that if you put the right talent

722
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: around him, this team can win the Super Bowl Dak

723
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: Prescott at quarterback. And that's really just the bottom line

724
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: of it. And when you say he's going into year eight,

725
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: you're right, completely factual. He's going into the year eight.

726
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: You'd like to see more than you know a couple

727
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: of playoff wins, etcetera, etcetera. But you know the difference

728
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: between Brock Purty even in these seven or eight or

729
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: nine games versus Dak Prescott's seven seasons, it's McCarthy wasn't

730
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: here the entire time that Dak Prescott has been in

731
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys uniform, Dak Prescott has changed head coaches changed

732
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: on him, offensive coordinators. You go from Garrett Collin plays

733
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: to Scott Lenahan being handed those keys to Kellen Moore,

734
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: and then Kellen Moore was very green in the game

735
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: because Kelly Moore went from backup quarterback to almost instant

736
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: promotion to being quarterbacks coach, and then from quarterbacks coach

737
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: the very next year he was offensive coordinator. That's a

738
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: lot of change that has occurred in the seven years

739
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott has been here. He's only really had stability

740
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: to pass three. Yeah, So if you talk about continuity, perty, yes,

741
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: Perdy just got into the league, but Perdy didn't have

742
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: to go through the same amount of change. Play correct,

743
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: it's plug and play. So that's why those two things

744
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: don't So is that on coaching most to apples, it's

745
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: just how attrition has negatively impacted Dak Prescott's first four seasons,

746
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: and then you had twenty twenty was the COVID year pandemic.

747
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: So you got a new head coach coming in while

748
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: the pandemic is happening, and you know you quarterbacks coach

749
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: change from John Kitten to Doug nus Myrin. All of

750
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: these things have taken place, and Dak Prescott has mostly

751
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 1: continued to win games. But if you're asking why those

752
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: wins haven't translated into the postseason, what I just told

753
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: you A large part of it is roster changes, coaching changes,

754
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: assistant coaching changes, positional coaching changes, all of those things. Now,

755
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: nothing I said excuses away those two interceptions, and they

756
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: won't one because kind of my point is there are

757
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: other teams that go through that stuff too. Now head

758
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: coaching changes most of the teams that are in the

759
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: NFL right now. Actually I take that back. Look at

760
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: the Eagles. The Eagles have Nick Sirianni. He wasn't the

761
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: head coach two years ago. He was the same thing

762
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: coming in a year after what Mike McCarthy brought in.

763
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 1: I mean, coaching changes affect things, but at the same time,

764
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: you've just got to be better to avoid all of

765
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: those things, all of those boxes that need to be checked.

766
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: At some point, your quarterback is gonna have to check

767
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: all those and Dak hasn't done that. I will say

768
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: this to your point again, if you look at those

769
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: two interceptions, because it's the most recent sample size, so

770
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: let's play off of it. You as the quarterback, are

771
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: being paid to help mask a lot of issues that

772
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: need to be masked. Yeah, be it in the coaching

773
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: staff for the you know the turnover in the coaches

774
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: quite literally in the job description, it's right there. So

775
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: when you throw, when you do things like throw those

776
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: two interceptions on the stage of that magnitude, not only

777
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: are you not masking the other weaknesses on the team,

778
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: but now you become a part of why the team

779
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: is and being successful. So that's why it makes it

780
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: that much more difficult to swallow the pill. And it

781
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: goes back to what I said a few weeks ago.

782
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: When you know someone is better than what they're putting

783
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: in front of you, yes, it's going to be frustrating.

784
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: So Cowboys fans, you should be frustrated. You've seen Dak

785
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,240
Speaker 1: Prescott through for almost five thousand yards while not turning

786
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: the ball over. You've seen it. So then when you

787
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: see a season like twenty twenty two when he's pressing

788
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: and he's doing a little bit more hero ball than

789
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: necessary and it puts the team in bad positions. But

790
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: then the very next week you see him walk the

791
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: goat right, or you see him going to Minnesota, and

792
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: contextually at the time, Minnesota was the number two seeded team,

793
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: and oh, you're not going to go into Minnesota at

794
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: forty to three. So when you know that Dak Prescott

795
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: is capable of leading to the offense that can do

796
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: that to teams, and then you see him go out

797
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: and have such a bad game like he did against

798
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, it should be frustrating, and that

799
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: frustration should tell you something. It tells you that your

800
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: ex dictations of that particular individual, that particular side of

801
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 1: the ball are higher than even you might be willing

802
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: to admit to yourself, because if they were low, you

803
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't be this frustrated, you wouldn't be this angry. You

804
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: simply say to yourself, well, we knew, we knew it,

805
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: we knew it. Yeah, you know what, I know? What

806
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: do you know? I know that today, Kellen Moore is

807
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: interviewing for the Carolina Panthers Hey coaching job, and Dan

808
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: Quinn is interviewed for the Arizona Cardinals. Second interview with

809
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: So what happened to that continuity is forty eight hour

810
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: roll right, yeah, get out of there. So second interview

811
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: is dan Quinn's second interview with Arizona. All right, let's

812
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: take our second break. When we come back, we're gonna

813
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: hear from Alan and Clearwater, Florida. Let's step aside for

814
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: a quick moment. We'll be back with more talking cowboys.

815
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to

816
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: jog and the cheetah Savanta. Todd believed the big Cat

817
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: repellent he bought online was reliable, and Todd is trying

818
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,959
Speaker 1: to be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty

819
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: miles per But the good news is Todd has at

820
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: and T five G is fast, reliable and secure, and

821
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: he learned the best thing to do is stop running

822
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: and toss her the backpack with the beef stew at

823
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: and T five G fast, reliable, secure. It's not complicated.

00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: you're on Talking Cowboys. What's going on? Good morning, guys.

858
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. So chiming in on this

859
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: discussion about DAK. I want to share my perspective and

860
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: get your input, especially yours Isaiah, because you're a former

861
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: quarterback and so your opinion about what happens in the

862
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: coaching room and for the quarterback is critical. But on

863
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: the following up on Patrick's point, my position has been

864
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: for quite some time that a quarterback like Dak is

865
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: certainly talented enough to take the team to the super Bowl.

866
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: He's proven it, okay. The problem seems to me that

867
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: he's not being coached, and this point was finally made

868
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: on Cowboys Break yesterday by the announcers there from the

869
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: outside perspective of a fan, if the man has the

870
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 1: talent and he can perform like he did in Tampa

871
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: the week before, it is his judgment. It is his

872
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: decision making, and he's not the most accurate of quarterbacks,

873
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 1: as Isaiah has commented many times, but he's good enough

874
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: to win. So my position has been it appears that

875
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: he's not being coached. Maybe the coaches like Kellen Moore

876
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: are too young, he's doing schemes, but what looks like

877
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: and the question is this fixable by coaching. If you

878
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: have a quarterback who's not Mahomes, who's not Josh Allen

879
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: and has not earned the right to make decisions in

880
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: the game, it seems to me that the coaches are

881
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: the one that should be putting him in a position

882
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: to use his talent, and they need to be coached.

883
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: Ten decision making be coached. And when you have a

884
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: quarterback who's not the most accurate, can't you design schemes

885
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: where he can be successful because there have been many

886
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: before him. That's what I'd like to know your opinion on.

887
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: What do you think? Appreciate the call Alan in Florida

888
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: And this has been a conversation. It has been I

889
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: think you're You're exactly right, and I think there has

890
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: to be a topic of conversation. I'm about to throw

891
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: this to Isaiah. I just wrote a name on a

892
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: piece of page. You already know what I'm to say.

893
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me who was the most

894
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: influential person for Dak Prescott in his early formative quarterback years.

895
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: What was his Who was the most impressive, most influential guy?

896
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: J John Kittner. So we had this conversation off line

897
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: yesterday a little bit. Is this a conversation that needs

898
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: to be had again? You don't have to go get

899
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 1: John specifically John Buddy, Okay, I don't I don't know.

900
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what what what Dougni calls behind the scenes,

901
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, right, So I can't sit here and

902
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 1: say so, first of all, thinking for the call, because

903
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: I think that was a very informative, insightful call. It

904
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: was um And there's things that we talk about offline often.

905
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what Doug Nasmyer does. I don't know

906
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: his coaching style. I don't know how how he holds

907
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: Dak accountable. I don't know those things. So I can't

908
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: speak on what's going on there. I can speak to

909
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: what John Kittener brings, and I can speak to what

910
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: John kitten a standard is and how he is as

911
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: a man and his character and how he goes about

912
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: his business. And you can look back at the development

913
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: of Dak Prescott when John Kinna was the quarterbacks coach

914
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: a level on the Kitten. I know also from other

915
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: sources and things within the organization that there hasn't been

916
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: the same level of accountability within the locker room in

917
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: terms of holding guys to a standard. I do know

918
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: that it's it's changed as this generation has changed. As Yeah,

919
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: that's not even default the Cowboys specifically, that's just the game.

920
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 1: It's evolution, right, evolution the game, the style of players,

921
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: style players, yes, society, how players receive coaching, it's changed.

922
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: One thing that hasn't changed is dog gone good coaching.

923
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: And John kitten was one heck of a quarterback in

924
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: the league for a very long time. Much like that's

925
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: my good experience as well. But I know Kittna personally,

926
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: and I could speak and I could stand on a

927
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: mountain to say they need John Kittna in that room

928
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: coaching up Dak. I'm not saying that to say that

929
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: Doug Ney's a goal away because I don't. Again, I

930
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: don't know him on a personal level, but I do

931
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 1: know that Dak Prescott's production drastically improved when John Kittena

932
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: was holding him responsible by the quarterback position. I mean,

933
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: it's hard to argue you saw it early. Part of

934
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: the reason why he went from a fourth round quarterback,

935
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: a guy that was not expected to play as a

936
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: starter for years at a time, if ever, to being

937
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: one of the highest performing young quarterbacks in the NFL

938
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: for a reason, that's one of the reasons, one of

939
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: the multiple reasons. And it's not saying that Doug nuts

940
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: Meier has done a bad job. I think Doug is

941
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: a great dude. I think he's a good coach. It

942
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,399
Speaker 1: just just what we've seen and what we have seen

943
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: and haven't seen. At the same time, it's a conversation,

944
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, good good stuff, Ellen, And it's something that

945
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: offline yesterday we were kind of volleying around the office

946
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: a little bit as far as you know, what moves

947
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: should be discussed. And again, you know, Nut Smyers most

948
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: certainly not done a poor job. So that's not what

949
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: we're saying here. But the evidence is there, and you

950
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: know how I am science. The evidence is the evidence.

951
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: The evidence is when John kitten was brought on to

952
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: be quarterbacks coach for the Cowboys, Dak Prescott quite literally

953
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,720
Speaker 1: hit the next level, found another gear that very same

954
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 1: season under John Kittner, and he wasn't turning the ball over,

955
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: he wasn't making those mistakes. So I realized that John

956
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: is seemingly pleased with his position at brother Ship. Yeah.

957
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 1: Uh but mister kittna uh if if you don't mind

958
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: a conversation, you know, I think it's it's worth a conversation.

959
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,919
Speaker 1: What are he's doing next week? What he was doing

960
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: on Tuesday at eleven am? And you think that's that's

961
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: a high that's a high character individual. Right, You got

962
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: a call you got a phone call in Yeah, that's

963
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,760
Speaker 1: a high character individual. I say, you got a phone calls?
