Here with Isaiah Standback, 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.240 John Mashoda Chris Beam in the back. I'm Nick Harris. 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.480 No Kyle Yeomans today. He is off doing big announcer 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.280 stuff today, So Kyle, but uh yeah, so we're we're 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.520 He left us here to sit here and talk about 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.200 it with you guys. The therapy session. I don't think 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:03.040 he could sit through. 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:03.720 It's so weird. 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:05.920 Huh yeah. Yeah, it's tough. 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.280 Forty eight hours, I guess, give or take thirty six maybe. 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.400 Oh like yeah, it's it's it's it's done. It happened 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.119 very fast, Dallas Cowboys getting blown out, and I don't 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:16.759 I don't think there's a safer way to put it. 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:18.880 Even if they were able to get that final touchdown 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.800 in two point conversion to make it an eight point loss. 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:21.920 That's still a blowout. 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.360 Dug themselves a twenty seven to nothing hole, couldn't bounce 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.800 back from it, and the Green Bay Packers are moving 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.520 on to the divisional round. And now the Cowboys have 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.360 a lot of questions to answer this week and into 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.360 the offseason. Guys, I just kind of want to get 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.200 your initial thoughts on the game, and John will start 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:37.480 with you. 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.160 Just what happened? 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.520 Yeah, I mean I thought that they're well every game. 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.920 I think that there's four possible scenarios. You know, the 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:48.000 Cowboys can either win close, win big, lose close, lose big. 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.600 Losing big was something I never even considered happening. That 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.760 is that I never even thought that was not against 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.240 his team, not I mean nine win Packers team. You 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.000 could it's the worst team that made the playoffs this year. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:04.680 You're at hell home, and when that Cowboys game ended, 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.440 we didn't know what would happen, you know, yesterday, and 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.480 it held true. Every other wildcard team that played at 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:11.519 home won their game. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.360 That is a huge advantage in the. 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.280 Wildcard round because you're usually playing a team that isn't 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.119 the same level as you, And so it's the same 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.440 thing as it was two years ago when the Cowboys 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.239 hosted the Niners. They were the only team to lose 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.519 at home in the wildcard round. That's not a good sign. 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:30.200 And my initial thoughts are the same as they are 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.000 right now. I just cannot believe the way that first 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.000 half went for it to snowball the way it did, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.160 to get down twenty seven to nothing late in the 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.120 first half, get be down thirty two in the fourth. 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:43.120 I mean, I just that's unfathomable from a team that 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.320 the offense is healthy. Yeah, you were missing some defensive players, 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.919 but there is no excuse to have played that poorly. Honestly, 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:50.560 I don't think there's an excuse for them to play 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.760 that poorly against any team forty nine, Ers, Baltimore, whatever. 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.320 And then the flip side is I always try and 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.839 look at things from the other team's perspective. I don't 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:03.040 think there's a team in the NFL Packers players, Packers fans, whoever, 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.120 analysts would have ever thought that they would be up 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.960 twenty seven to nothing late in the first half. Carolina Panthers, 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:10.600 whoever you want to put them at at their place 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.600 in Lambeau and on the frozen tundra. They wouldn't have 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.120 believed that they would have been up twenty seven to 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.480 nothing against anyone for it just snowball like that. And 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.040 then the last thing I'll just say before you guys 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.840 go on, couldn't believe that how all facets of the 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.240 game were terrible, Like there was nothing you could hang 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:28.480 your hat on, like maybe maybe Jake Ferguson, maybe Michael Gallup, 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:29.200 Like I mean. 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.480 We're really Gallup saved his job. 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.119 We're really splitting hairs over here. 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.200 So that was the if you painted that picture and 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:36.960 you told somebody before the game that that was going 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:38.640 to happen, One, you could have made a ton of 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.560 money betting on it. But two, I don't think anybody 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.840 Packer fan, Cowboy fan, any analyst would have believed that 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.320 was possible. Maybe a close loss, losing late, but not 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:49.480 that type of performance. 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:52.440 Well, Nick, I don't know, I don't know what the 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:56.280 heck happened. I don't I didn't recognize that team, that 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.280 entire team. There might have been aspects or players in 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:00.880 that game that I'm might have been you know what, 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.040 we've seen that guy before. But as an entire team. 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.240 I was disappointed, and that's the only word that I 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.040 can utilize in that associates with what we saw on 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:20.719 Sunday afternoon is peer disappointment, mainly because they didn't fight. 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.800 And there's gonna be games where it's just not going 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.400 your way. There's gonna be games where god, a man, 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:30.000 the execution's just not there, or man, we're just barely 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:30.600 off on this. 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.400 You know, maybe there's games where you. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:37.359 Get out coached, but for all those things to be 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.479 true and you not fight to a peer to not fight, 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:42.480 let's put it that way, right. 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:43.720 Well, well, I'm real quick on that. 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.640 Did you see any similarities from that, because I did 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.840 a little bit so when you said that, I feel 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.120 the exact same way, and it kind of reminded me 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.599 of San Francisco, Arizona Buffalo, like where you're watching the 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.640 game and it was like, Hey, I'm only gonna let 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:56.839 you watch the first quarter. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.640 And then you have to leave. That's really all you 0:04:58.640 --> 0:04:59.080 needed to see. 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:00.520 Yeah, I could have rubbed my to go off the 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:01.000 first quarter. 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.600 Yeah, the first quarter was happening, and as it was 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.039 taking place, I was like, Yeah, this is a rough start, 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:10.680 but they'll be okay. That was my genuine feeling. I'm like, yeah, 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:11.760 there's they'll be okay. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:13.719 I mean, they've won sixteen in a row at home, you'd 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:13.920 think that. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.640 But even aside from that, I'm like, personnel wise, you're 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.880 personnel wise, you're better than they are on paper. The 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:23.760 bad thing about it is you got to still show 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.680 up and improve it, and they just didn't show up 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.920 improve it. They literally allow somebody to walk in their house, 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:36.040 smack them, their wives and their kids. That person walked 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.560 away before walking out of the door. They turn around 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.600 and say, you got something to say, and then smack 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.039 their dogs and then it smacked the dog and walked out, 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.119 slammed the door shut, and Dallas said nothing. 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:51.760 And that's how I felt then. That's how I feel now, you. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:52.280 Feel any better? 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.240 I was going, you know, any better today than you 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:55.840 did after it, because I think there's a state of 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.240 shock when it's going on, because you know, like like Jerry, 0:05:58.560 --> 0:05:59.920 you could tell after the game, what's the kind of 0:05:59.920 --> 0:06:01.599 like sleep on it before he makes any big decisions. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:02.919 I'm just kind of like, when I woke up the 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:04.800 next morning, I'm like, that's worse than even when I 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.000 was watching it, thinking about. 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.320 It, you know what, you know what, No, I don't 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.880 feel any better to answer your question. The thing that's 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.960 really making me, I don't want to say sick to 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:19.360 my stomach, but like this uneasy feeling, I genuinely genuinely 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.120 feel bad for mister Jones. Like I genuinely feel bad 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.040 for mister Jones because we're not best buds. I'm not 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.359 his best friend. I don't know. I'm in, you know, 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:30.960 all the way in and all the way out. I'm 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:32.960 grateful that he drafted me and things of that nature. 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.640 See him around the way from time to time. But 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.039 over the years, from the time that I was drafted 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.520 to now right, I've had my eyes on the Cowboys. 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:45.200 I've never seen him hurt. And I feel like he 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.120 was genuinely hurt after that game, or hurt by the 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.000 results of that game. There's a certain look that people 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.479 have in their eyes. There's disappointment, there's frustration, there's anger. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:01.560 He was hurt, man like like I felt like I 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.120 felt it. You know, there there was a presence that 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.000 he has about it, there's an amians that he has 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:07.599 about him, and it was it was pain. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.000 It was genuine pain. 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.680 And well, I'll just speak on behalf of everybody outside 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.800 of the studio. Then don't you give him any responsibility 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.840 being also the general manager of the team. 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.080 You know what, So I know a lot of people 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.000 are going to do that right, and as a general manager, 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.440 you do everything that you can. You know, my idea 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.520 of a general manager doing all they can is doing 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.040 a great job managing the salary cap, doing a great 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.280 job putting as much talent as you can underneath the 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.960 salary cap, and putting a coaching staff in position that 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.720 is as successful as possible with the talent that you have. 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.520 That's your job as a general manager. Your job's not 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.840 to go out there and play your jobs, not to 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:43.280 play at all. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:44.560 Yeah. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.120 After the game, Jerry was kind of took responsibility. He said, 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.960 I know where the responsibility starts, and then it's talking 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:50.640 about himself. 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:52.040 I've got that real clear. 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.960 And I know that the point is this that I'm 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.280 disappointed for everybody. 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.520 He was really apologetic to the fans after the game. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.920 I think that was the biggest thing that he wanted 0:07:59.920 --> 0:08:02.240 to get across, and he knew that there was a 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.200 really good opportunity for this team to be able to 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.680 have two games at home and instead on Sunday at 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.360 and T stadiums can be very empty and not a 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:10.480 soul's going to be in there. 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:12.840 It is interesting to say about the apology because I 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.880 felt like last year in San Francisco he talked because 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.400 of that exact same thing too, And anybody that wants 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.400 can just put that inside and be like, oh, you know, 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.160 he just wants publicity. He has never seen a microphone 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.240 or camera. He doesn't love And that's fine that you 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.000 can factor that in. But also, I mean I watch 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.280 all these games. I just I don't see anybody else's 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.000 you know, GM or owner standing outside, you know, feeling 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.319 like they have to tell the fan base they're not 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.000 the only ones they're gonna be disappointed after this. But 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.240 it is interesting how like you point that out that 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.120 I really truly feel like he has to say something 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.040 to the fan, especially when it's such an ugly, disappointing, 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:47.800 unexpected end of the season like that. 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.120 Yeah, And the biggest questions that were asked to Jerry 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.920 Jones post game was you know, are there changes that 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:53.439 you have to make? 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:53.640 Now? 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:54.840 This is three seasons in a. 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.760 Row, twelve wins at twelve and five and being bounced 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.760 early in the playoffs earlier than you probably should have. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.920 I think the only argument you can maybe maybe make 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.320 was last season. But even the way that one went down, 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.400 you felt like you should have won that game, he said. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.800 I haven't reflected at all on anything about the coaching 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.880 or any of that. I'm amazed that we were sitting 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.200 here without another game this upcoming weekend. I don't have 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.640 any comments or questions or answers for how and why 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.280 we didn't do what we wanted tonight. What I'm zeroed 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:21.640 in on is the fact that I thought we were 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.520 in a position to advance this thing in the playoffs 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.520 and maybe get as far as our dreams might take us. 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:26.280 We didn't do it. 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.439 I didn't have I don't have any thoughts on the 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.360 reasons why, or anything to do with the coaching or players. 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.480 It kind of sounded like he was gonna take some 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.200 time this week to think about some things. And it's 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.040 it's hard to go into Oxnard in July and sell 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:40.960 the same product. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.599 Oh and just run it back. Yeah, you can't do that, 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.800 especially after what you just read. I can't see how that. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.600 Really hard going twelve and five three straight seasons, Because 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.840 let's say you have regular season success next year, Let's 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:53.200 say you go fourteen and three. 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.440 Yeah right, Oh, I know I've been thinking about. 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.400 No, there's gonna be zero confidence from the fan base. 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.440 It's gonna be okay. Well, let's let's see next week 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:02.679 talking about the playoffs. 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.080 I just I gotta throw something in here. I know 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:09.040 some people aren't gonna like this, but you know, I've 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.640 seen I've seen the posts. I've seen people talk about 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.560 how well we maybe you just shouldn't go to the games. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.440 Show them by not going to the games. Well, people 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:16.600 are going to go to the games. I mean, it's 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.360 an event. There's only eight home games. But I will say, 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.200 but Jerry will see and he'll he'll he'll be very 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.559 aware of you run it back like that. I'll tell 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.560 you what where you will see the difference. You ain't 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.000 gonna see the T shirts being sold. 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.199 You're not gonna see the hoodies, the hats, the gear. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.040 There's gonna be other things that the cowboys are involved 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:35.959 in that you'll see people just be like, yeah, I'm 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:36.840 good right now, man, you. 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:37.679 Gotta do something. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.720 So that's why, in knowing how he is as a businessman, 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.120 I think he knows exactly what you're saying like, there's 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:43.800 no way I can just run it back and say no, 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.040 let's just try and do this again. Not after an 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.400 ending like that, you win the first two losing, Sam 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.640 fran I know to be ugly. I understand people be like, 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.880 third straight season the Niners ended it. It's the least 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.200 NFC championship game. You might be able to do something 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.080 there this, I don't see how you can run it back. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.720 Yeah, with all the pieces that are in place, main pieces, 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:07.320 so we could talk about coaching staff, Dak Prescott, defensive stars, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.040 Michael Parsons, whatever, you have the same main pieces in 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.360 place going into next season, you would probably have less 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.000 confidence with that team being fourteen and three going into 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.960 the playoffs if as compared to if you make a 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:20.920 big splash in the offseason, whether it be a coaching 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:25.319 or a big free agent edition or a splash draft 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.679 and going to the playoffs eleven and six, there's probably 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.120 more confidence in that eleven and sixteen that has something 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.280 different than this fourteen and three team that has gone 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.000 to the playoffs three years in a row and has 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:36.319 fallen short of expectations. 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.880 That's just me thinking, yeah, I hear you, guys, thinking, 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.560 and I know, obviously I've been watching all the shows 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.360 and reading all the articles and getting everybody responsive. 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.600 Of course, what would you like about it? 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:54.480 Human behavior right now, the human behavior cycle, just speaking 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.960 in regards what I was just mentioning about how I 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.160 believe that mister Jones was hurt. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.240 After hurt would comes, what happens? What's the next year? 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.480 Nah anger? Right? Scorched earth? 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.040 And anybody who knows the history of mister Jones when 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:15.400 he's pissed off, don't even make eye contact in the hallway, 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.920 right if don't sneeze, don't yawn, don't anything. I think 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:21.920 he's about to go scorched earth. And I'm not sure 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.960 what that looks like. I'm not sure what that looks like. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.559 And I'm not sure how he can how he can 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:33.120 detach personally now his surrounding support system, Will McLay, you know, 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:34.079 Stephen Jones. 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.640 And everybody else that has a part in. 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.439 Speaking some wisdom in his ear or even amongst the 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.320 wisdom that he already has himself, is going to have 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:46.360 a big role because emotionally, he's going to have to 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.679 try to hone himself in because of the hurt, because 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.760 of the pain because of the embarrassment, because of the repeated, 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.880 repeated offenses of the playoffs, coming short in the playoffs, 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.400 because of the timeline that he feels like he's up agains. 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.120 He's gonna have to. 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:07.719 Try to bring in as much rationale as possible and 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:09.920 is for everybody, and I'm sure we'll hit on this 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.280 every there's a lot of people saying, you. 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:17.600 Know, just just get rid of everything. I'm not so sure. 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:18.840 I don't think blowing up. 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:20.760 No, I don't think so. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.000 I don't think blowing it up to answer, And I 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:28.840 honestly don't think that they're people aren'tnna agree with this. 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.920 I don't feel as if there needs to be a 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:36.800 lot of change inside the building. I truly don't agree. 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:43.120 I think that the area that your organization has been 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.280 struggling with consistently not the regular season. 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:47.640 It's the playoffs. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.199 And I know there's a head coach out there that's 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.199 on TV right now interviewing for coaches. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.760 He's don't bring don't look to bring in double B. 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:01.439 This is my suggestion. 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.800 If I'm running things around here, I am trying to 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.360 pitch Bill Belichick to come in as a as a consultant. 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.280 Okay, I can listen to you on that. 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.760 The problem with and I he is the odds on 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.760 favorite if they were going in another direction to be 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.839 the coach by no, but be that. But my thing 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.120 with Bill Belichick is I wonder how relatable he is 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.320 now to today's players, just like the way that his 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.280 style is, especially as you watch every branch from his 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:30.880 tree go somewhere else and be an epic failure. There's 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:32.320 part of you that's got to sit back and go, 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.560 hey man, you're a legend. Statues, all of that, arguably 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.040 the greatest ever. I don't know how like I could 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.680 see him coming in here trying to do it his way, 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.560 you know, iron fist all that stuff, and it being like, 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:46.000 oh my god. 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:47.760 Yeah. That's why. That's why I don't say coach. 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.160 Yeah, but I say as a consultant, because name one 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.040 person that's better prepared for playoffs. 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:53.560 Yeah. 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.760 But I don't think he would take that over. I 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.080 don't think he would take it over head coaching. 0:14:58.160 --> 0:14:58.240 Up. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:14:59.800 He's going to get a head coaching job. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:00.440 I hear you. 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.760 But I'm just saying this is just a suggestion of money. 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.960 May I I was in a position I'm pitching him 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:06.560 to come in as a consult I'm not sure that 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:07.640 he wants to be a head coach again. 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.720 I'm not it's a really good chances of the Atlanta Falthons. 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:12.960 I think there's a possibility, but I'm not sure that 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.840 he really wants to be a head coach again. Right, 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.120 So there's a lot of responsibility. You gotta build a culture, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.040 you gotta build it up. It takes years, right, and 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:21.360 he's up against a clock as well. 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.280 But I feel them as a consultant is any undermining the 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.520 head coach, because the head coach is just always like 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.040 allow Bills over there. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:27.560 This listen up. 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.080 Where have you proven to me as of late that 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.120 you're coming up short on this coaching stwn? 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.280 Not the regular season, it's the playoffs. 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.760 Yeah, So I'm gonna bring somebody else in who has 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.160 a different perspective, who has a lot more success and 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.840 that department, right, and I'm gonna lean on him, and 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.600 I want you to lean on him in terms of preparation, 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.120 in terms of analyzing yourself, right, in terms of not 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.760 being repetitive in some of the things that you're doing offensively, defensively. 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:56.400 Whatever it might have been that people feel like we 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.920 were doing the same type of things and scouting yourself. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.040 That's where I'm leaning on. I think that would be 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.200 my answer to it right now. Obviously I'm not getting 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.640 paid to do this, okay, but I believe that they 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.360 don't need to blow up as much as people think, 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:14.120 because I think I don't believe that Cowboys Nation is 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:19.160 willing to go through the pain of rebuilding and going 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.720 through the pain of trying to send back to even 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:22.680 where you are today. 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:24.640 Well, the other part of it is they have too 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.400 many key young pieces that you would be foolish to 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.800 just go, yeah, I know, young, good player, get them 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:30.040 out here. 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:30.840 We got to start over. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.640 I don't want a single player in this roster was 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.160 here the last year that you can't do that. That doesn't 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.080 make any sense that that would be foolish to do that. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:37.920 I will say one thing I've thought about a lot 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.360 recently is just the whole idea of like how come 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.360 they keep falling short in the playoffs? And I'm not 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.560 saying this is the reason, but I do believe it's 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.120 a factor. And maybe it's only one percent, but I 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.800 wonder if the star has gotten so big that the 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:56.360 pressure in the playoffs is too much for these guys nowadays. 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.440 I mean the social media, the constant TV attention. You know, 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.840 when the Cowboys lose, it's a bigger deal than when 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.359 most teams win. Last year San Francisco game was an 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:06.919 eye opener for me with that, it was it was 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.840 very fascinating to watch the whole I don't understand why 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:11.840 all nationally there isn't all this talk about, man, this 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.480 is the Niners year. Whatever it was that was like 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.000 maybe ten percent, ninety percent was a Cowboys choke again, 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.920 blah blah blah whatever. Like I wonder if today's player 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.880 who hears every little thing, I wonder if the pressure 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.959 of the playoffs has become so much that soon as 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.359 something goes wrong, it is it just it's they tense 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.399
