Speaker 1: a call. Eight eight eight eight five five two two
Speaker 1: nine seven. And once again it's eight eight eight eight
Speaker 1: five five two two nine seven. We'll take your calls

Speaker 1: doing been better? Why is that? Wow? Something happened this weekend? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I hurt you a little bit. Yeah, you still still
Speaker 1: feeling bad from it? Just sucks. I'm not gonna be
Speaker 1: able to see you guys every day. I know it hurts,
Speaker 1: it's trash. It hurts because of many reasons. That's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons I started going through the pictures. Last night.
Speaker 1: I posted it on on I g a sad face.
Speaker 1: Put it on you you felt a sad face me too,
Speaker 1: Like at the end of the year. I usually put
Speaker 1: the other a little montage of pictures or whatever. And
Speaker 1: I put it up on Instagram last night, and it's
Speaker 1: just like, man, Wow, that went by real fast, went
Speaker 1: by real quick, and just like that, it's done. I'm
Speaker 1: just over here trying to figure out, Oh gosh, were
Speaker 1: you stirring up over there. I'm not stirring up anything.
Speaker 1: You're starting up trouble. I'm stirring up anything, Apparently, I'm not.
Speaker 1: You know, We're still get a little bit of nation
Speaker 1: right wide trouble that you're stirring up over there. We're
Speaker 1: just sitting here dealing with dealing with the loss, uh
Speaker 1: you know, back in Santa Claure, Santa Clair that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys said, and still kind of going through the grieving
Speaker 1: process of that as we start to unfortunately try to
Speaker 1: turn the page to the off season that has now
Speaker 1: arrived earlier than we would have liked or anticipated, but
Speaker 1: you know, also later than the haters anticipated. So true.
Speaker 1: But that said, um, you know, and we said it yesterday.
Speaker 1: One percent honorable and and noble for Dak Prescott to
Speaker 1: step up and say, hey, those two interceptions were one
Speaker 1: hundred percent on me, uh, saying how he has to
Speaker 1: do better, saying that he will go into the off season,
Speaker 1: and virtually guaranteeing that the interception number that he put
Speaker 1: up this year will not occur in twenty twenty three. Um.
Speaker 1: And and you know, I wrote the article basically detailing
Speaker 1: the things that went wrong in San Francisco, you know,
Speaker 1: the science is the science, and giving Dak a salute
Speaker 1: for taking accountability. And we put the article out on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and instead of everybody taking it as hey, Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: took accountability, everybody's like, oh, the team is throwing them
Speaker 1: under the bus. Where's the bus? I don't I don't
Speaker 1: see the bus. But you know, Twitter is going to Twitter.
Speaker 1: Twitteros are going to Twitter. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So I know what you mean. No, see, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Is it's even more hilarious as this grows
Speaker 1: to its own thing, because first of all, I know
Speaker 1: how the game works. I get the game. Um, you
Speaker 1: know the guys that what's the name of that show?
Speaker 1: First Fake? Okay, so that show. So I know what
Speaker 1: their formula. Um, you know, uh Pat Fugazy, I know
Speaker 1: his formula. I mean I know the formula. Right. So
Speaker 1: the formula is for them to look at the trending
Speaker 1: topics rather they care about it or not, and then
Speaker 1: they formulate segments off of it so that that can generate,
Speaker 1: continue to stir up the hive, and you know, you
Speaker 1: get the people who are angry, and you get them angrier,
Speaker 1: not realizing over maybe realizing that those people didn't read
Speaker 1: the article in the first place anyway, because had they
Speaker 1: read it, they would have seen that it detailed all
Speaker 1: of the things that went wrong on offense as a whole.
Speaker 1: But you didn't read the article. Hell, you didn't even
Speaker 1: read the tweet. Because if you're at the tweet, then
Speaker 1: you felt their quotation marks in the tweet that says
Speaker 1: dak Prescott dak On lost to forty nine. It doesn't
Speaker 1: say no see on dak On lost forty So for
Speaker 1: those who read the tweet appropriately, for those that read
Speaker 1: the article and continue to follow the science and half
Speaker 1: follow the science up to this point, and thankfully will
Speaker 1: continue to follow the science. I thank you, we love
Speaker 1: you here talking Cowboys, we love you here Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot com, and I love you for following the Science
Speaker 1: Lab that comes out weekly and will continue to into
Speaker 1: the off season. But I just wanted to kind of
Speaker 1: get that off my chists. It's it's it's sad that
Speaker 1: this is the society we're in, but it's the society
Speaker 1: we're in, and really could have been resolved by one
Speaker 1: or two people just simply reading what was right in
Speaker 1: front of them instead of reading what they think they
Speaker 1: saw because they're upset in the moment and they need
Speaker 1: somebody to attack. And if you want to see the
Speaker 1: tweet yourself, it's still up there because it's nothing's wrong
Speaker 1: with it. It was tweeted yesterday ten forty eight pm,
Speaker 1: or no, excuse me on Sunday at ten forty eight pm.
Speaker 1: It's that it's got Dak Prescott looking down at a tablet.
Speaker 1: That's the photo that's on the article. It's actually a
Speaker 1: good article. I really liked it. Thank you, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I actually read it because because hey, this is this
Speaker 1: is a social media lesson for everybody. How about you
Speaker 1: click the article and then you read the article before
Speaker 1: you retweet, and you start providing opinions on the article.
Speaker 1: And here's what makes it even more more sad is
Speaker 1: that even if you are a headline replier, which that's
Speaker 1: just bad. Don't be a headline remplier. That that's just
Speaker 1: one of the worst types of human beings. But even
Speaker 1: if you what about a Jeff a replier, somebody that
Speaker 1: just replies in Jeff's you think that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: I think it's awesome. I think that Dunny, that's all
Speaker 1: I said, does on Twitter. That's he's defending it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: even if you had just read that headline, then you
Speaker 1: notice it says dak or lost to forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak is taking his accountability. So what everyone
Speaker 1: should be doing, UM, while the collective of Cowboys Nation
Speaker 1: is grieving it and trying to move forward into the
Speaker 1: off season to see what needs to happen in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, to see what will or will not happen
Speaker 1: four twenty twenty three, UM, give a salute to Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott out and stand that he made those mistakes. And
Speaker 1: we pointed out those mistakes, and we'll continue to point
Speaker 1: out those mistakes, and he's pointed out those mistakes himself.
Speaker 1: But for him to be able to stand forward, stand
Speaker 1: up and say, hey, you know what, that's on me again,
Speaker 1: that's honorable, that's noble, and that's a leader, and that's
Speaker 1: what you want leading the locker room going forward. So
Speaker 1: now it's just a matter of fixing the issues. And
Speaker 1: he's already getting to work on that. So you know,
Speaker 1: bottom line, read the article or shut up? There's the
Speaker 1: line there. You go? Ye? How about that? All right,
Speaker 1: let's and maybe don't start fights courts up. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: probably a good one too. Let's talk about some of
Speaker 1: the next day observations. I'm sure everybody here's just gone
Speaker 1: back and watched the film. Everybody here has gone back
Speaker 1: and maybe gotten some ounce of sleep, of thinking about
Speaker 1: what's going on and what went on with the cowboys.
Speaker 1: But Isaiah, now that you've had a little bit to
Speaker 1: stir on, and what's still the number one takeaway for
Speaker 1: you in the loss to the forty nine ers? You
Speaker 1: give them exture opportunities. Yeah, I mean that's really what
Speaker 1: it comes down to. I mean, you we I don't
Speaker 1: want to be the Dead Hordes. But we talked about
Speaker 1: yesterday how you shut down Bossa, you shut down four
Speaker 1: of their top five weapons and you still find a
Speaker 1: way to lose the game. That's just something that you
Speaker 1: just can't do. It's not foreseen. That's not if anybody
Speaker 1: would put that on paper and say, you're gonna shut down,
Speaker 1: shut down the number one second leader in the in
Speaker 1: the league, and you're gonna shut down four the top
Speaker 1: five weapons for San Francisco, that's a dub. That's a dub,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't And you have to go back and
Speaker 1: analyze why he wasn't a dub. I think we all
Speaker 1: know that everybody. You can always sit back and say
Speaker 1: everybody could have played better. Every everything nobody grades out
Speaker 1: at one hundred percent unless you're a kicker. Um, that
Speaker 1: wasn't the case either. But you know, dec Ridian man,
Speaker 1: they we're not gonna keep beating deck into the ground.
Speaker 1: There's things that he has to improve on, and I
Speaker 1: think there seems that he can do to put his
Speaker 1: teams in better situations, and the organization will do what
Speaker 1: they can to put this organization and this team in
Speaker 1: the future and a better predicament to win the ballgame,
Speaker 1: and that's you lose. You you learn more and losses
Speaker 1: than you then you learn in wins. And I just
Speaker 1: my hope is that dak this offense and its totality,
Speaker 1: this defense. You know, there's things that they can learn
Speaker 1: from this year as well. Obviously, Um, they didn't turn
Speaker 1: a ball over the way in which they wanted to
Speaker 1: turn a ball over. They didn't do it like they
Speaker 1: did last year. I think they are more effective at
Speaker 1: certain areas. They're going to improve upon their rush defense. Right.
Speaker 1: There's everybody has work to do to contribute to potential
Speaker 1: wins in the future. And now this is a time
Speaker 1: when everybody goes back to the lab and you identify
Speaker 1: your issues, You identify the points in the in areas
Speaker 1: that you can that you need to address, and then
Speaker 1: you address them. It's definitely back to the drawing board
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Um. I mean there's a lot of
Speaker 1: opportunity for improvement to be taken away. Like Iris is saying, um,
Speaker 1: and in that same breath, thankfully, it's not about rebuilding
Speaker 1: or blowing everything up. Um. You have one of the
Speaker 1: better draft classes that you've acquired in recent history, in
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two draft class from Tyler Smith to
Speaker 1: Sam Williams. You know, obviously question Mark still on Jalen Tibert.
Speaker 1: But go down there, mister Deron bland Um, Damon Clark.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Payton Hindershot as an undrafted guy,
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson as a fourth round I mean the list
Speaker 1: goes on and non, so tons of promise when you
Speaker 1: add that up against you know, uh, you know, acquiring
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons in the first round and you know, previous
Speaker 1: to that, CD Lamb. So your draft formula is magnificent.
Speaker 1: Is it perfect? No, it's not perfect. They're thirty two
Speaker 1: teams in the league, and no draft strategy is perfect.
Speaker 1: Every team has an album charcer or two around their neck.
Speaker 1: We're like, oh, we shouldn't have done that. But when
Speaker 1: you have the hit rate that the Cowboys have draft wise,
Speaker 1: that that remains something to be excited about. So they're
Speaker 1: building the right way. As far as how they're building
Speaker 1: through the draft, You've seen them now really get out
Speaker 1: there in free agency, maybe not as much as a
Speaker 1: lot of people would like to believe, but we talk
Speaker 1: about the addition of Jason Peters, Anthony Barr, give me
Speaker 1: another t Y Hilton. Um, the list goes on and
Speaker 1: on it then previous to this year, jay Ron Curse,
Speaker 1: Malie Cooker. I mean they're making moves and free agency
Speaker 1: that are putting pieces Jonathan Hankins, the acquisition that the
Speaker 1: trade acquisition this year, That's what I was looking for.
Speaker 1: So they they're addressing positions of need and they're throwing
Speaker 1: talent at it be at the draft and by way
Speaker 1: of free agency. So that's promising. But um was doing
Speaker 1: in the off season to tweak I wish they would
Speaker 1: do all that work in the off season. Well that's
Speaker 1: my thing. What do you feel there they're missing in
Speaker 1: off season free agencies? What you're yeah, yeah, of course
Speaker 1: the draft always happens. I think you can look at
Speaker 1: it both ways because I see what you're saying, and
Speaker 1: you're not wrong. Um. But I've always been of the
Speaker 1: concept of free agents. The free agency pool as a
Speaker 1: whole for me also includes free agents that wore a
Speaker 1: Cowboys helmet the year preseason. I agree with you, So like,
Speaker 1: retain your guys, guys that you know and that have
Speaker 1: been in the bill. Then you know their work ethic,
Speaker 1: you know what they're about. If they're able to keep
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, for example this offseason, That for me is
Speaker 1: a huge free agency acquisition. Yeah. Now, most wouldn't view
Speaker 1: it that way because they'd say, oh, well, you know,
Speaker 1: we were talking about getting someone out from outside the building.
Speaker 1: Well you're not wrong in thinking that way, But I
Speaker 1: think it needs to add to you know, who are
Speaker 1: if you keep Donovan Wilson, that's a huge free agency
Speaker 1: get right, Cowboys have a laundry list of free agents
Speaker 1: in house that they need to try to keep. Here,
Speaker 1: Layton vanderesh right, these are players that other teams are
Speaker 1: going to be actively going for. You're going to be
Speaker 1: bidding against other teams for these types of talent. The
Speaker 1: names that I just mentioned, and in several more so,
Speaker 1: if you can retain them, that means you won those battles.
Speaker 1: That means you did acquire big free agency names, even
Speaker 1: if by retaining them is what I'm saying. Who's the
Speaker 1: number one name right now? Who's the number one free
Speaker 1: agent Dallas Cowboys player? Right now? It have to be
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, right right, It's probably Tony. This is a
Speaker 1: list put out by Oh thanks Beamer. This is a
Speaker 1: list put out by Greg Rosenthal just a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago. This is prior to the playoffs, and Tony
Speaker 1: Pollo towards ranked number twenty on that list of NFL
Speaker 1: free agents. Entering into twenty twenty two, he's probably higher
Speaker 1: on that list now. The injury might be something that
Speaker 1: keeps him out of the top ten. But there's three
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles in the top eight of that list. Because
Speaker 1: guess what, they go out and they work free agency,
Speaker 1: they go and resign some of these guys. I want
Speaker 1: to go get some of that talent. I want to
Speaker 1: go get some talent out there that you can supplement
Speaker 1: with the draft, and then from the draft, whatever you
Speaker 1: don't supplement, then you can pick it up in the
Speaker 1: middle of the season, like t Y Hilton's and the
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins. Do you believe that the Eagles aggressiveness in
Speaker 1: this offseason contributed to their position at their end right now? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: I think it looked they looked at their quarterback and
Speaker 1: they said, Wow, Jalen Hurts is a good quarterback. Did
Speaker 1: they say he's an elite quarterback? Go do it all
Speaker 1: on your own. No, they didn't say that. I think
Speaker 1: that's what you have to do. With Dak Prescott right now,
Speaker 1: I think coming into this year with Jalen Hursts, I
Speaker 1: think they said, we're gonna put so much talent around
Speaker 1: you that you can't mess it if you mess it up,
Speaker 1: like you know that you're the problem, You're the issue, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is what happened. He hasn't messed it up yet.
Speaker 1: You know what I would love to see as we
Speaker 1: sit here and talk about free agents, just kind of
Speaker 1: from the aspect of an in house guy. Yes, you
Speaker 1: want to see what Jalen Tilbord has And I honestly
Speaker 1: would still double back at wide receiver in the draft,
Speaker 1: and that's a conversation to come, but man, it would
Speaker 1: be exciting to consider what an entire offseason in training camp,
Speaker 1: you know, would do for t Y Hilton's chemistry with
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. There's something there and I feel like it
Speaker 1: just didn't get explored enough, especially we talked about one target,
Speaker 1: one catch, fifteen yards and you know, the biggest game
Speaker 1: of the season in San Francisco. But I feel like
Speaker 1: there is something there. So I think t Y Hilton
Speaker 1: will be a wonderful bridge player in that position, even
Speaker 1: if you double back in the draft and hoping that
Speaker 1: Jalen Tilber takes that next step. I think t Y
Speaker 1: Hilton could be the cool hand loop opposite Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 1: in that equation. And I'm also looking forward to hopefully
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup getting back to being MG thirteen, the pre
Speaker 1: injury version. Do you think he could be better next year?
Speaker 1: Who Michael Gallup? Yes? Do you think he can take
Speaker 1: a bigger leap back into what he was prior to
Speaker 1: the injury just with an off season full of healthy Yes,
Speaker 1: he'd be that far, that much more removed time wise
Speaker 1: from the injury itself. And you're working on I'm not
Speaker 1: just gonna sound bad. He's working on the areas of
Speaker 1: his game that he needs to improve upon, like in
Speaker 1: particularly right, you know what I'm saying, Like the fine
Speaker 1: focus on improving on those areas versus working on trying
Speaker 1: to get healthy. It's two separate entities. And I think
Speaker 1: that he was working on trying to become healthy this
Speaker 1: all season right so that he can be available, versus
Speaker 1: he wasn't working on the areas that that now are
Speaker 1: highlighting that he needs to address, which is getting out
Speaker 1: of his brakes right, the muscular endurance, right, all those
Speaker 1: type of things. Those are things he needs to prove upon.
Speaker 1: Now that he is healthy, he could focus on those
Speaker 1: because now he's not worried about his injury. Yeah. I also,
Speaker 1: I mean going back to the Dak conversation, I was
Speaker 1: looking it up a minute ago, but you look at
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts in that situation, specifically in Philadelphia being in
Speaker 1: the NFC title game. He's also on a rookie contract,
Speaker 1: so they have some money elsewhere to go and spend,
Speaker 1: because if they were, I think he's got like a
Speaker 1: one point seven million dollars a cap hit this year.
Speaker 1: Next year it's gonna be four point seven, which is
Speaker 1: still nothing versus what is forty nine? Well forty nine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you talk about what Jalen Hurts market value is
Speaker 1: right now, resolve that he hurts market value of what
Speaker 1: he would be if you resigned him right now forty four. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So he's that changes your roster? Yeah, I agree, I agree,
Speaker 1: totally agree, And so there but a little bit of space.
Speaker 1: But with the space that they did have, they stress
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm tell abo, Yeah, Phil and again
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this stuff all season. I don't
Speaker 1: think this roster was the problem. I don't think the
Speaker 1: roster was a problem. I don't think the roster was
Speaker 1: a problem last year. I don't think the roster was
Speaker 1: a problem this year. It was the execution. It was execution.
Speaker 1: Doesn't the execution fall back on the roster. I think
Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott is capable in his current state. I
Speaker 1: think he's very capable of putting his team in a
Speaker 1: winning position. I think I don't think that he did. Okay, now,
Speaker 1: the other people who played a role in that, but
Speaker 1: in terms of somebody who was in has a huge
Speaker 1: who has an ability to drastically change the dynamic in
Speaker 1: the outcome of the game, who gets the ball in
Speaker 1: his hand every play. He did not do what he
Speaker 1: wanted to do or what he was even capable of doing,
Speaker 1: and that was a problem for him the whole second
Speaker 1: half of the year. I mean the whole year really,
Speaker 1: but especially the second half of the year. Right, you
Speaker 1: talk about the seventeen interceptions over fourteen games, like, that's
Speaker 1: not playing winning football. He's capable of reading coverages, He's
Speaker 1: capable of making the right decision. Those are the things
Speaker 1: that got him in problem. In a situation it wasn't
Speaker 1: the the lack of velocity, It wasn't always the ball location.
Speaker 1: But those are things that he can approve upon still too, right,
Speaker 1: So it's not a lack of It's not as like
Speaker 1: he can't attain these characteristics, he can't attain this level
Speaker 1: of excellence. He just isn't there right now. Yeah, for me,
Speaker 1: it's it's just in the aspect of interceptions. It's and
Speaker 1: I mentioned this before, just in a slump. When it
Speaker 1: comes to that. He when you're in a slump, be
Speaker 1: it as a quarterback, as a picture. You saw Brett
Speaker 1: Maher get into that slump out of nowhere. It's hard
Speaker 1: to break out of that slump. For whatever reason. It
Speaker 1: could be execution, which is definitely a thing decision making
Speaker 1: which goes to execution, and then you have bad luck
Speaker 1: because you have the receivers tipping the balls up and
Speaker 1: creating an interception. It's just you can't seem to get
Speaker 1: out of that vortex. And you've seen that kind of
Speaker 1: frustration Dak Prescott's face after some of those interceptions later
Speaker 1: in the season, where he's just sitting there on the
Speaker 1: grass like what the hell is going on here? And
Speaker 1: it was it reminds me of what Ezekiel Elliott was
Speaker 1: dealing with a couple of seasons or so ago the Pombos,
Speaker 1: And he was dealing with the rash of fumble, something
Speaker 1: that he for the most part, hadn't been known for,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he was putting the ball
Speaker 1: on the ground time and time and time again. And
Speaker 1: at some point in that season, about the midpoint, he
Speaker 1: really started to dial in on it, him and running
Speaker 1: backs coach Skip Pete and they got it fixed. Whence
Speaker 1: the last time you remember Ezekiel Elliott fumbling the ball
Speaker 1: either Hie and like the past two seasons. So when
Speaker 1: you look at it from that aspect, I'm confident that
Speaker 1: you're addressing. While while the slump did occur and that
Speaker 1: sucked and he just couldn't get out of that vortex,
Speaker 1: well now you have an entire offseason to work out
Speaker 1: coming out of that vortex mentally, and much like Ezekiel
Speaker 1: Elliott was able to finally escape the Bermuda triangle of
Speaker 1: those fumbles, I'm confident Dak Prescott will be able to
Speaker 1: do so because he's This is not Dak Prescott. For
Speaker 1: those that are saying, oh, well, this is I think
Speaker 1: I saw a tweet on the plane ride back from
Speaker 1: from Santa Clara or someone was like, well, no, that's
Speaker 1: just Dak Prescott roverting back to that Prescott are you
Speaker 1: talking about he had gold rookie season. Just historically, historically
Speaker 1: he has not turned the ball over. That's been his
Speaker 1: calling card. So that's proof that this is just completely
Speaker 1: out of the norm. This is an aberration for Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: and I'm I look forward to him repairing it because
Speaker 1: I'm confident that he can't. Yeh, yeah, but this is
Speaker 1: not a personnel issue. You can always improve your personnel.
Speaker 1: But this this season's failure. Sure, because any team that
Speaker 1: doesn't win a Super bowls failure. I don't care what
Speaker 1: you say, right, agreed, it was not personnel. So everybody's
Speaker 1: pointing finger towards a front office. I think that front
Speaker 1: officer doesn't done an immaculate job. Now, have they done
Speaker 1: it the way that I would like them to do it. No,
Speaker 1: they've done it a discount Dovia check way. But they
Speaker 1: still find a way to put together one hell of
Speaker 1: a wrong. No, you're right, They've done a great job
Speaker 1: of going out and finding bargains and finding guys that
Speaker 1: are going to make an impact, and they're gonna do
Speaker 1: it on a cheap, which is a huge key of
Speaker 1: winning games in the NFL. So credit to them and
Speaker 1: doing so. Scouting was about to say, is incredible. You
Speaker 1: look at the draft in what they've done. They drafted
Speaker 1: another starter this year in Tyler Smith. He's going to
Speaker 1: be a starter for a long time. He had Ceedee
Speaker 1: Lamb two years ago, Michael Parsons two years ago or
Speaker 1: three years ago for two d But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I agree with you halfway. Okay, I'll meet you halfway.
Speaker 1: Meet me at the top of the mountain. I'm halfway.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you half halfway. You can get out
Speaker 1: come down. I think the roster was good enough to
Speaker 1: make it work if you had somebody who was the reason,
Speaker 1: the guy, and you expected that to be Dak Prescott. Yes,
Speaker 1: and that didn't happen. He wasn't the guy. But I
Speaker 1: still think Dak is a great quarterback here, I really do.
Speaker 1: I think he's a really, really good quarterback. But is
Speaker 1: he good enough to be the reason that you win
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? No, he needs help around him to
Speaker 1: do that. I agree with you. I totally which means
Speaker 1: how where roster wasn't good enough. Okay, I see what
Speaker 1: you're saying there. I can see your point. Yeah, I believe,
Speaker 1: and I've said at a gazillion times on this show.
Speaker 1: He needs a running game exactly, he needs he Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard was a piece of that help and he went down.
Speaker 1: He was. But so then you gotta start peeling back
Speaker 1: to the layers. Okay, Tony Pollard got hurt. Zeke was ineffective. Okay,
Speaker 1: Zeke's not what he used to be. Everybody understands that.
Speaker 1: He understands that. But what do you have to go
Speaker 1: back to what creates those holes? Offensive line? There you go.
Speaker 1: So it's fine too. I said it yesterday. I I'm
Speaker 1: a fan. I was like, they have to get back
Speaker 1: to emphasizing bullyball up front. And if they were able
Speaker 1: to do that, then once they secure that solid front line,
Speaker 1: then you could do whatever the heck you want to
Speaker 1: passing wise with Dak. Yeah, but still that doesn't change
Speaker 1: his decision making. I I don't always agree nor listen
Speaker 1: to national personalities. I like to form my own opinions.
Speaker 1: I saw this yesterday after I had already said this
Speaker 1: on a couple of calls throughout the morning. Our friend
Speaker 1: David Hellman, of course, formerly at Dallas Cowboys dot com,
Speaker 1: now at Fox. He said, and this is a tweet
Speaker 1: that I agree with completely, said Sunday, emphasize something I
Speaker 1: think we already knew. Dak Prescott isn't good enough to
Speaker 1: be and he capitalized these two words. The reason his
Speaker 1: team wins. The brutal truth, though, is that I'm not
Speaker 1: sure there are more than two to four of those
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL right now, which I agree. Two
Speaker 1: of those four are in the playoffs still, and they're
Speaker 1: both on the AFC side. That's Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: He said, Dak Prescott needs more help, and that's okay.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with admitting that. No, nothing wrong. He's
Speaker 1: a really, really good quarterback. He's he's not there. It's
Speaker 1: just like when I first came out and said that
Speaker 1: he's a play action quarterback, people are like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: no disrespect. It's okay, it's okay. He's valuable to your organization,
Speaker 1: no doubt. So you pay him because he's valuable to
Speaker 1: your organization, but understanding the parameters and what he can
Speaker 1: and can't do. You need to make sure that you
Speaker 1: supplement it with the proper tools and resources around. Gotta
Speaker 1: have the right talent around him. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: our first break. When we come back, I want to

Speaker 1: to Cowboys Nation one final time on a Talking Tuesday
Speaker 1: here for the twenty twenty two campaign. Let's start things
Speaker 1: off across the pond. Let's go out to Italy. We're
Speaker 1: our friend. Marco now joins us. You're on Talking Cowboys. Marco,
Speaker 1: You're on Talking Cowboys. How's it going, Hey, guy's good morning.
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me again. Of course, what's on
Speaker 1: your mind, Marco, I wanted to share my Matthew with
Speaker 1: you and hear you know what you're think about it.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, there are reasons for hope. Last year's
Speaker 1: problems penalties, reds on offense, run defense, they've been largely addressed,
Speaker 1: and personally, I can enjoy a similarity with the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Pakers of the early nineties when they lost three
Speaker 1: times against the Cowboys in the playoffs and they eventually
Speaker 1: came back to in the Super Bowl. If you look
Speaker 1: at the last three years, Cowboys team has constantly improved
Speaker 1: six and ten, twelve and five, lost in the World
Speaker 1: Card Game, twelsand five US in the Division ground. So
Speaker 1: then the question becomes is that the right guy to
Speaker 1: carry this team to the victories? Well he's not Brett
Speaker 1: fab who led those Bakers, not Tom Brady or even
Speaker 1: Joe Barrow. Team of the side. Who is, guys? Is
Speaker 1: it your contents or Matthew Stafford? Because if the team
Speaker 1: is excellent, Matthew Stafford can win a Super Bowl and
Speaker 1: that can certainly play at Stafford's level. So give him
Speaker 1: an ex team. N the game changing player in free
Speaker 1: agency who can also set the tone for the entire team.
Speaker 1: Consistency is the key, right The Rams did it with
Speaker 1: all be Jane Burmiller, the Niners who did it with McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did it back in the nineties, which I
Speaker 1: was hailing then senders. So that would be my recipe
Speaker 1: for for for next year, for the off season. Um,
Speaker 1: I hang up, I'll listen to you know your your
Speaker 1: view on what I say. I just want to say,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you for your excellent coverage
Speaker 1: during the year. A lot of you guys. You make
Speaker 1: me feel there with you. It's wonderful to to to
Speaker 1: you know, to listen to you and to participate from
Speaker 1: time to time. Good blessed, thank you, thank you, thank
Speaker 1: you so much. Really appreciate that. Marco, there's an extra
Speaker 1: seat open if you if you really want to come
Speaker 1: over and come over to the US side. Uh, he
Speaker 1: brings up. Excellent point. I leave their food, Huh would
Speaker 1: you leave their food? And no way. I'll be over
Speaker 1: in Italy by the way, and there in September. I think,
Speaker 1: I think that's when I got to link up with Marco.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to link up with Marco to get
Speaker 1: out there. I don't know what part we're going around Marcos. Dude,
Speaker 1: I've literally never been over there, so stop chill, chill.
Speaker 1: It's like a one time things. But he brought up
Speaker 1: some some great points because positivity is hard to come
Speaker 1: by right now because I'm angry, everybody's angry, everybody's disappointed.
Speaker 1: I'm furious, curious. I grew up a Cowboys fan. I
Speaker 1: want to see a championship game. I almost cussed there,
Speaker 1: but I didn't. The thing with the thing with what
Speaker 1: he said, though, is totally realistic where it happens before.
Speaker 1: Teams just can't get over that one hump, and for
Speaker 1: some reason, that's the San Francisco forty nine ers. But
Speaker 1: you can't let this be your peak. You can't let
Speaker 1: it be six and ten, twelve and five to the wildcard,
Speaker 1: twelve and five to the divisional round and then tank
Speaker 1: off after that. You gotta keep building, which is the
Speaker 1: goal of the guys on the other side of the building.
Speaker 1: What do you think about what he had to say? Though,
Speaker 1: I love it um silver lining, because you know, most
Speaker 1: dart clouds do have them, and it's it's not um,
Speaker 1: you know, disingenuous to kind of point out in the say, hey,
Speaker 1: well while this, you know, all of this darkness exists,
Speaker 1: and we can talk about this and we'll continue too.
Speaker 1: There are silver liners. We just talked about the way
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are drafting. They're doing phenomenal work there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: long story short, they have taken another step forward. This
Speaker 1: is a team again most had written off before the
Speaker 1: ball was kicked off in week two or in week one.
Speaker 1: Think about all the people that were and and Cowboys
Speaker 1: fans that were saying, let's just go yeah, watching the
Speaker 1: season away because you don't have Randy Gregory, Lyle Collins
Speaker 1: or Mark Cooper Mark Cooper. So at several points in
Speaker 1: the off season and then again in the season after
Speaker 1: the Green Bay loss, this team isn't They're one and
Speaker 1: done after the loss in Jacksonville. This team is one
Speaker 1: and done after the loss in Washington. Week A team
Speaker 1: they're worlding into the playoffs like this, this team is
Speaker 1: one and done. And it's against TB twelve, who's never
Speaker 1: lost to them, And it's in the postseason, and it's
Speaker 1: in TV twelves house, and and and and they go
Speaker 1: out there and they walk TB twelve like a puppy.
Speaker 1: And now did they get the job done ultimately. No, no,
Speaker 1: they did not get the job done ultimately, because the
Speaker 1: goal ultimately is to win the Super Bowl. But they did.
Speaker 1: To Marco's point, they made another step forward. And if
Speaker 1: they continue with that that pattern, then what's the next
Speaker 1: step forward for twenty twenty three the NFC Conference Championship game.
Speaker 1: So they're they're on the right track. They're they're not
Speaker 1: moving at the speed at which even they would like
Speaker 1: to be moving at because they'd like to be playing
Speaker 1: this weekend in the Conference champions and then two weeks
Speaker 1: from now. But they are moving forward, and to say
Speaker 1: that they aren't, or to imply that they aren't, would
Speaker 1: be completely inaccurate. What do you think I liked it?
Speaker 1: It's pretty much what we just finished stadium in terms
Speaker 1: of surrounding. You know, a quarterback, Go get a big
Speaker 1: name free agent, or not even big name, but impact
Speaker 1: free agent. Yeah yeah, just load up. It's the last
Speaker 1: time they went and added a impact free agent. Whop
Speaker 1: that wasn't the free agent was a trade that was
Speaker 1: mid season. That's probably the closest thing, though, the closest thing.
Speaker 1: I think that's probably right. You having mine just out
Speaker 1: of curiosity, Well, honestly, I was asking, well, let's say
Speaker 1: this position, which side of the ball. Yeah, offense, either
Speaker 1: offense offense. You're gonna say receiver run. Yeah, no, I honestly,
Speaker 1: honestly think three letters. Honestly from say three letters, you
Speaker 1: don't know for me? Who is the three letters? Like?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, people are crazy. It was a draft though.
Speaker 1: People aren't crazy. I'm talking about the O center. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, don't say that for me. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say center, really center in the guard I think he
Speaker 1: had just played. He leveled. I I like him. I'm
Speaker 1: on record saying I like him. I don't think he's enough.
Speaker 1: I've been on record of saying I don't think he's
Speaker 1: enough for three years now. So I mean so I
Speaker 1: don't I remember how much I want to tie with
Speaker 1: the year. I love his effort. I think he's too small.
Speaker 1: I like his effort. I like his effort, I like
Speaker 1: his tenacity. I like all those things. I just think
Speaker 1: he's too light. You should definitely have some old line questions,
Speaker 1: because Connor McGovern is a free agent. Are you moving well?
Speaker 1: You you are moving Tyron Smith back to left Tyckle.
Speaker 1: That's gonna happen better if if if I'm Will McClay,
Speaker 1: if I'm playing you know, Jerry Jones. I'm going out
Speaker 1: there and I'm securing a big name center in a
Speaker 1: big name guard, and I'm locking it in. M But
Speaker 1: don't you have your guard? No left guard, Tyler, let's
Speaker 1: talk about you know what. I like this idea. We
Speaker 1: just become Okay, I like this is turning into a
Speaker 1: whole show that we're gonna use next week. I want
Speaker 1: to talk about the offensive line stated the offensive line.
Speaker 1: I want to say, yeah, I want to talk about it,
Speaker 1: because it's gonna start to become a conversation of Tyrn.
Speaker 1: When is the end of the rope there? When is
Speaker 1: the end of the rope? At Zack Martin? At some
Speaker 1: point this year, you think, like now, like he's done
Speaker 1: and he's played his last game as cowboy. I don't
Speaker 1: agree with it. I think he I don't necessarily agree either,
Speaker 1: but I don't think you're far off. I think he's
Speaker 1: done feeling holes. M Okay, Well, we're gonna save this
Speaker 1: the next week. We're gonna save this the next week.
Speaker 1: We got a show on Tuesday. We're gonna save it
Speaker 1: for that. All right, Let's go to Anthony and Rhode Island. Anthony,
Speaker 1: you're on Talking Cowboys. It's great to be on Talking
Speaker 1: Cowboys with you all. Yesterday you made a comment about
Speaker 1: get used to it because they're not getting rid of them.
Speaker 1: And when you look at Dak Prescott in his seven
Speaker 1: years and you look at the salary that he's going
Speaker 1: to be commanding to get next year, I think it's
Speaker 1: like forty millions the cap. Yeah. It's like when you
Speaker 1: look at the two teams that drafted their quarterbacks before Prescott,
Speaker 1: are they still with their team? No? No, And they said, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: we gotta move on these guys on cutting it, and
Speaker 1: they did. The Cowboys are not really like they don't
Speaker 1: have to commit to him. If they commit to him,
Speaker 1: then they're saying, well, you're on man. But sometimes when
Speaker 1: you look at yes that game and there was two
Speaker 1: crucial interceptions, it's like, he can't go there, he can't
Speaker 1: throw that ball and put that defense back on the field.
Speaker 1: When they did everything that they could for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: to win that game. He put his team behind the
Speaker 1: eight ball. That rookie quarterback, I'll played him. Yes, he
Speaker 1: was only asked to do what he could do, and
Speaker 1: he did it. And Zach Dak Prescott could have been
Speaker 1: a little better with the ball, and he was like
Speaker 1: his old self, just throwing it Millie Willie, I can
Speaker 1: beat that guy and he couldn't. So Anthony, really quickly,
Speaker 1: I want to ask, are you saying that you want
Speaker 1: to move on from Dak you would like the franchise
Speaker 1: to move on? Say it? What's your chess? Well, I'm
Speaker 1: saying that in seven years cutting us to where we
Speaker 1: could be. So therefore I'm saying, you know what, cut
Speaker 1: your tides, move on, and I'm saying it's time to
Speaker 1: start over again. He did say it with his chess.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you for the call, Anthony, appreciate you,
Speaker 1: Anthony and Rhode Island. I don't agree at all. I
Speaker 1: really don't, and plus it would be really hard to
Speaker 1: move on Dak Prescott. I am entitled to my opinion.
Speaker 1: I do not agree, But at the same time, I
Speaker 1: understand the frustration because this is gonna be year number
Speaker 1: eight and this is where you've gotten. Brock Purty is
Speaker 1: tied for all time career playoff wins with Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: They have the same amount of playoff wins. Brock Purty
Speaker 1: his first playoff game was a week ago. I mean,
Speaker 1: at some point the frustration built. Here's where I am
Speaker 1: with it, and Anthony, first of all, thank you for
Speaker 1: calling in, and you know, great points. I don't see
Speaker 1: his eyebrows raise up because he said back to his
Speaker 1: old ways, and we just said, we just talked about
Speaker 1: if he was back to his old ways, he wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been throwing the interceptions, So that's kind of an oxymoron.
Speaker 1: I would say this, the two interceptions, as I said yesterday,
Speaker 1: indefensible and I'm not going to try to defend it.
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have happened. Period. They can't happen, and especially
Speaker 1: on a stage that big, they can't. They just can't.
Speaker 1: But it's also true that the Cowboys are not going
Speaker 1: to move on from Dak Prescott. And when you look
Speaker 1: at the total body of work, he's shown enough for
Speaker 1: you to believe that if you put the right talent
Speaker 1: around him, this team can win the Super Bowl Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott at quarterback. And that's really just the bottom line
Speaker 1: of it. And when you say he's going into year eight,
Speaker 1: you're right, completely factual. He's going into the year eight.
Speaker 1: You'd like to see more than you know a couple
Speaker 1: of playoff wins, etcetera, etcetera. But you know the difference
Speaker 1: between Brock Purty even in these seven or eight or
Speaker 1: nine games versus Dak Prescott's seven seasons, it's McCarthy wasn't
Speaker 1: here the entire time that Dak Prescott has been in
Speaker 1: the Cowboys uniform, Dak Prescott has changed head coaches changed
Speaker 1: on him, offensive coordinators. You go from Garrett Collin plays
Speaker 1: to Scott Lenahan being handed those keys to Kellen Moore,
Speaker 1: and then Kellen Moore was very green in the game
Speaker 1: because Kelly Moore went from backup quarterback to almost instant
Speaker 1: promotion to being quarterbacks coach, and then from quarterbacks coach
Speaker 1: the very next year he was offensive coordinator. That's a
Speaker 1: lot of change that has occurred in the seven years
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott has been here. He's only really had stability
Speaker 1: to pass three. Yeah, So if you talk about continuity, perty, yes,
Speaker 1: Perdy just got into the league, but Perdy didn't have
Speaker 1: to go through the same amount of change. Play correct,
Speaker 1: it's plug and play. So that's why those two things
Speaker 1: don't So is that on coaching most to apples, it's
Speaker 1: just how attrition has negatively impacted Dak Prescott's first four seasons,
Speaker 1: and then you had twenty twenty was the COVID year pandemic.
Speaker 1: So you got a new head coach coming in while
Speaker 1: the pandemic is happening, and you know you quarterbacks coach
Speaker 1: change from John Kitten to Doug nus Myrin. All of
Speaker 1: these things have taken place, and Dak Prescott has mostly
Speaker 1: continued to win games. But if you're asking why those
Speaker 1: wins haven't translated into the postseason, what I just told
Speaker 1: you A large part of it is roster changes, coaching changes,
Speaker 1: assistant coaching changes, positional coaching changes, all of those things. Now,
Speaker 1: nothing I said excuses away those two interceptions, and they
Speaker 1: won't one because kind of my point is there are
Speaker 1: other teams that go through that stuff too. Now head
Speaker 1: coaching changes most of the teams that are in the
Speaker 1: NFL right now. Actually I take that back. Look at
Speaker 1: the Eagles. The Eagles have Nick Sirianni. He wasn't the
Speaker 1: head coach two years ago. He was the same thing
Speaker 1: coming in a year after what Mike McCarthy brought in.
Speaker 1: I mean, coaching changes affect things, but at the same time,
Speaker 1: you've just got to be better to avoid all of
Speaker 1: those things, all of those boxes that need to be checked.
Speaker 1: At some point, your quarterback is gonna have to check
Speaker 1: all those and Dak hasn't done that. I will say
Speaker 1: this to your point again, if you look at those
Speaker 1: two interceptions, because it's the most recent sample size, so
Speaker 1: let's play off of it. You as the quarterback, are
Speaker 1: being paid to help mask a lot of issues that
Speaker 1: need to be masked. Yeah, be it in the coaching
Speaker 1: staff for the you know the turnover in the coaches
Speaker 1: quite literally in the job description, it's right there. So
Speaker 1: when you throw, when you do things like throw those
Speaker 1: two interceptions on the stage of that magnitude, not only
Speaker 1: are you not masking the other weaknesses on the team,
Speaker 1: but now you become a part of why the team
Speaker 1: is and being successful. So that's why it makes it
Speaker 1: that much more difficult to swallow the pill. And it
Speaker 1: goes back to what I said a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: When you know someone is better than what they're putting
Speaker 1: in front of you, yes, it's going to be frustrating.
Speaker 1: So Cowboys fans, you should be frustrated. You've seen Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott through for almost five thousand yards while not turning
Speaker 1: the ball over. You've seen it. So then when you
Speaker 1: see a season like twenty twenty two when he's pressing
Speaker 1: and he's doing a little bit more hero ball than
Speaker 1: necessary and it puts the team in bad positions. But
Speaker 1: then the very next week you see him walk the
Speaker 1: goat right, or you see him going to Minnesota, and
Speaker 1: contextually at the time, Minnesota was the number two seeded team,
Speaker 1: and oh, you're not going to go into Minnesota at
Speaker 1: forty to three. So when you know that Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: is capable of leading to the offense that can do
Speaker 1: that to teams, and then you see him go out
Speaker 1: and have such a bad game like he did against
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, it should be frustrating, and that
Speaker 1: frustration should tell you something. It tells you that your
Speaker 1: ex dictations of that particular individual, that particular side of
Speaker 1: the ball are higher than even you might be willing
Speaker 1: to admit to yourself, because if they were low, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't be this frustrated, you wouldn't be this angry. You
Speaker 1: simply say to yourself, well, we knew, we knew it,
Speaker 1: we knew it. Yeah, you know what, I know? What
Speaker 1: do you know? I know that today, Kellen Moore is
Speaker 1: interviewing for the Carolina Panthers Hey coaching job, and Dan
Speaker 1: Quinn is interviewed for the Arizona Cardinals. Second interview with
Speaker 1: So what happened to that continuity is forty eight hour
Speaker 1: roll right, yeah, get out of there. So second interview
Speaker 1: is dan Quinn's second interview with Arizona. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take our second break. When we come back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: hear from Alan and Clearwater, Florida. Let's step aside for
Speaker 1: a quick moment. We'll be back with more talking cowboys.

Speaker 1: you're on Talking Cowboys. What's going on? Good morning, guys.
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. So chiming in on this
Speaker 1: discussion about DAK. I want to share my perspective and
Speaker 1: get your input, especially yours Isaiah, because you're a former
Speaker 1: quarterback and so your opinion about what happens in the
Speaker 1: coaching room and for the quarterback is critical. But on
Speaker 1: the following up on Patrick's point, my position has been
Speaker 1: for quite some time that a quarterback like Dak is
Speaker 1: certainly talented enough to take the team to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: He's proven it, okay. The problem seems to me that
Speaker 1: he's not being coached, and this point was finally made
Speaker 1: on Cowboys Break yesterday by the announcers there from the
Speaker 1: outside perspective of a fan, if the man has the
Speaker 1: talent and he can perform like he did in Tampa
Speaker 1: the week before, it is his judgment. It is his
Speaker 1: decision making, and he's not the most accurate of quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: as Isaiah has commented many times, but he's good enough
Speaker 1: to win. So my position has been it appears that
Speaker 1: he's not being coached. Maybe the coaches like Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: are too young, he's doing schemes, but what looks like
Speaker 1: and the question is this fixable by coaching. If you
Speaker 1: have a quarterback who's not Mahomes, who's not Josh Allen
Speaker 1: and has not earned the right to make decisions in
Speaker 1: the game, it seems to me that the coaches are
Speaker 1: the one that should be putting him in a position
Speaker 1: to use his talent, and they need to be coached.
Speaker 1: Ten decision making be coached. And when you have a
Speaker 1: quarterback who's not the most accurate, can't you design schemes
Speaker 1: where he can be successful because there have been many
Speaker 1: before him. That's what I'd like to know your opinion on.
Speaker 1: What do you think? Appreciate the call Alan in Florida
Speaker 1: And this has been a conversation. It has been I
Speaker 1: think you're You're exactly right, and I think there has
Speaker 1: to be a topic of conversation. I'm about to throw
Speaker 1: this to Isaiah. I just wrote a name on a
Speaker 1: piece of page. You already know what I'm to say.
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me who was the most
Speaker 1: influential person for Dak Prescott in his early formative quarterback years.
Speaker 1: What was his Who was the most impressive, most influential guy?
Speaker 1: J John Kittner. So we had this conversation off line
Speaker 1: yesterday a little bit. Is this a conversation that needs
Speaker 1: to be had again? You don't have to go get
Speaker 1: John specifically John Buddy, Okay, I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what what what Dougni calls behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: I don't know, right, So I can't sit here and
Speaker 1: say so, first of all, thinking for the call, because
Speaker 1: I think that was a very informative, insightful call. It
Speaker 1: was um And there's things that we talk about offline often.
Speaker 1: I don't know what Doug Nasmyer does. I don't know
Speaker 1: his coaching style. I don't know how how he holds
Speaker 1: Dak accountable. I don't know those things. So I can't
Speaker 1: speak on what's going on there. I can speak to
Speaker 1: what John Kittener brings, and I can speak to what
Speaker 1: John kitten a standard is and how he is as
Speaker 1: a man and his character and how he goes about
Speaker 1: his business. And you can look back at the development
Speaker 1: of Dak Prescott when John Kinna was the quarterbacks coach
Speaker 1: a level on the Kitten. I know also from other
Speaker 1: sources and things within the organization that there hasn't been
Speaker 1: the same level of accountability within the locker room in
Speaker 1: terms of holding guys to a standard. I do know
Speaker 1: that it's it's changed as this generation has changed. As Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not even default the Cowboys specifically, that's just the game.
Speaker 1: It's evolution, right, evolution the game, the style of players,
Speaker 1: style players, yes, society, how players receive coaching, it's changed.
Speaker 1: One thing that hasn't changed is dog gone good coaching.
Speaker 1: And John kitten was one heck of a quarterback in
Speaker 1: the league for a very long time. Much like that's
Speaker 1: my good experience as well. But I know Kittna personally,
Speaker 1: and I could speak and I could stand on a
Speaker 1: mountain to say they need John Kittna in that room
Speaker 1: coaching up Dak. I'm not saying that to say that
Speaker 1: Doug Ney's a goal away because I don't. Again, I
Speaker 1: don't know him on a personal level, but I do
Speaker 1: know that Dak Prescott's production drastically improved when John Kittena
Speaker 1: was holding him responsible by the quarterback position. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's hard to argue you saw it early. Part of
Speaker 1: the reason why he went from a fourth round quarterback,
Speaker 1: a guy that was not expected to play as a
Speaker 1: starter for years at a time, if ever, to being
Speaker 1: one of the highest performing young quarterbacks in the NFL
Speaker 1: for a reason, that's one of the reasons, one of
Speaker 1: the multiple reasons. And it's not saying that Doug nuts
Speaker 1: Meier has done a bad job. I think Doug is
Speaker 1: a great dude. I think he's a good coach. It
Speaker 1: just just what we've seen and what we have seen
Speaker 1: and haven't seen. At the same time, it's a conversation,
Speaker 1: you know, good good stuff, Ellen, And it's something that
Speaker 1: offline yesterday we were kind of volleying around the office
Speaker 1: a little bit as far as you know, what moves
Speaker 1: should be discussed. And again, you know, Nut Smyers most
Speaker 1: certainly not done a poor job. So that's not what
Speaker 1: we're saying here. But the evidence is there, and you
Speaker 1: know how I am science. The evidence is the evidence.
Speaker 1: The evidence is when John kitten was brought on to
Speaker 1: be quarterbacks coach for the Cowboys, Dak Prescott quite literally
Speaker 1: hit the next level, found another gear that very same
Speaker 1: season under John Kittner, and he wasn't turning the ball over,
Speaker 1: he wasn't making those mistakes. So I realized that John
Speaker 1: is seemingly pleased with his position at brother Ship. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh but mister kittna uh if if you don't mind
Speaker 1: a conversation, you know, I think it's it's worth a conversation.
Speaker 1: What are he's doing next week? What he was doing
Speaker 1: on Tuesday at eleven am? And you think that's that's
Speaker 1: a high that's a high character individual. Right, You got
Speaker 1: a call you got a phone call in Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a high character individual. I say, you got a phone calls?
Speaker 1: You want to talk about somebody who who walks to
Speaker 1: his own beat? That's Jerry Kitty. That dude is a
Speaker 1: man with Can we get him to walk to our
Speaker 1: beat next week? That's a phone call. Would be a
Speaker 1: guest Clay and Jerry Jones and I would love to
Speaker 1: even just pick his brain. I'm not even saying like
Speaker 1: to get hired. I'm not even talking about that. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about I would like to even sit him down
Speaker 1: here and pick his brain on, just get his take on.
Speaker 1: It might be something we look into. We're going into
Speaker 1: off season, so why not? Why not? All right, because
Speaker 1: we know he's been watching. We know he's been watching.
