Speaker 2: What's going on? John?

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: Not much? Made the trip back living the dream here.

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: I uh, I had a nice smooth flight back from DC,

27
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 3: all right, but let's just be honest series, Okay, shut,

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: I made a mistake and uh, that's not a mistake.

29
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: I'm happy with it. But I'm moving apartments, okay, Oh no,

30
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: And it's never good to do it during the season,

31
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 3: And so I had to be out of my place

32
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: by today, and so as soon as I got back yesterday, like,

33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: I immediately went to my other place and just started

34
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: getting whatever was left. I did most of the move before,

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: but it's never great to do that during like when

36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: you're about to leave, like you know, go to DC,

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: because I'm just thinking, man, my planes delayed and all this,

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: like this is not going to be good or whatever.

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: So I just finished that up last night. So I

40
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: didn't get really watch a ton of National Championship game.

41
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: I grew heavily against the University of Michigan, so it

42
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: wasn't going well, so I didn't want to watch it anyway.

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 3: But the move thing during the season is the dumbest thing.

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: I think it is the worst. I just I really

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: wanted to get out of the place I was in,

46
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: and I really wanted to get in this other place.

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: But uh yeah, so that's what I've been dealing with.

48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: So not that you guys care, but you.

49
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: Got out of that. I mean at the buzzer, you're

50
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: you're good. Oh yeah, yeah, you turned in the keys already.

51
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: Well I'm gonna do that today. I mean, there's nothing

52
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: in there, so good.

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 4: I have like a looming situation that's like upcoming because

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 4: my lease ends right in the middle of training camp,

55
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: and I'm what the hell am I going to do?

56
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: I had that problem. Yeah, yep, it is the same

57
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: exact thing we made. We bought our house.

58
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Six days before training camp, not even six days, and

59
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: then we got back and within six days we moved

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: into the house. So it was just left. It was

61
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: vacant for like a month while we were gone, and

62
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: then we moved into the house.

63
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: And within within three days.

64
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: Of us moving into the house is whenever I figured

65
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: out that Lorena was pregnant, and then we were having

66
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: a kid at that point, one kid and now it's three.

67
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 2: So yeah, I get you, but you might.

68
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: Be fine as a multitasker. I'm not I'm terrible. So

69
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: when the season goes when the season goes on, I'm

70
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's just locked in Cowboys stuff during the season.

71
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: So to do this during I mean, it's just it's

72
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: very overwhelming for me. Most people are probably like, it's

73
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: not that big of deal. I would have been finally

74
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: life stuff, yeah, yeah, which is fine, which is fine.

75
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: I just I don't know.

76
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: That's that type of type of sacrifice John and showed

77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: a man. Yeah, Cowboys fans out there, Yeah, if you

78
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: ever were were interested on John's background, that's what it is.

79
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's making sacrifice.

80
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: I mean, really, my whole life is based around the deal.

81
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: I mean, the place I live, everything is in location

82
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: of this facility, you know, I mean it really is.

83
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: My whole life is built around covering the Dallas Cowboys

84
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: during the season. I try not to have any distractions,

85
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: and I have this distraction right now that I'm trying.

86
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: To get rid of.

87
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: John's going to be living out of a tup aware

88
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: the next my new.

89
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: Place just boxes and everything just everywhere, like it will

90
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: sit there until whenever the season.

91
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: No, I say, like you have a pet, like that

92
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 4: pet is just dying for the count.

93
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: No one because of that.

94
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 5: Because of that reason, it'd be too much work.

95
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: So at one point I was roommates with David Hellman

96
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: and he had a dog, and I think it was Josie. Yeah, Josie.

97
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: I don't think I was traveling yet.

98
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 6: Maybe that was what it was.

99
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, But anyway, what happened was is like

100
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,559
Speaker 3: there'd be a lot of times, like during road games,

101
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: where like he'd have to board the dog. And so

102
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: because of that, I was always like, I'm not getting

103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: a pet. Why I cover the team just because I

104
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 3: don't want to have to do that all the time.

105
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: So no, no pet.

106
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: I know y'all's conversations in both of your senses of humor,

107
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: I could just see you given him all sorts.

108
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: Of flack for that. Oh yeah, like are you kidding me?

109
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: Like you're gonna go board that animal?

110
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dave probably felt like awful about it because he

111
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: loves that dog, and yeah, it was just.

112
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: The whole thing.

113
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's get into some news and notes

114
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: we just heard from Jerry Jones.

115
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: Going into Tuesday.

116
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: We did we could start with so defensive coordinator Dan

117
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: Quinn has been generating quite a bit of interest from

118
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 4: from various teams don't say yeah, And he's not the

119
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 4: only one. According to Jerry Jones, Will McLay was reported,

120
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: i think either late last night or earlier this morning,

121
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 4: that he's generating interests from the Commanders and Panthers for

122
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: their GM jobs, and Jerry was kind of asked about both,

123
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: and he said that there are several assistant coaches that

124
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: have generated interest. He said he expects close to fifteen

125
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 4: to twenty total interviewer interview requests across the board by

126
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: the end of the hiring cycle. So I guess, you know,

127
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 4: Schottenheimer might be might be thrown into that equation, you know,

128
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: you know, with him not being an offensive play caller.

129
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 4: I'm sure that that could be another team's pitch to

130
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 4: Kim one if if they if they were.

131
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 5: To land him.

132
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 4: Obviously, Dan Quinn, we've gone through two hiring cycles and

133
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 4: he's still you know, a part of the Dallas Cowboys.

134
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: So they're gonna try to go three for three here,

135
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 4: I'm sure this coaching staff. And yeah, there's a lot

136
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: to deal with this time of year, obviously, with the

137
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: playoffs starting and Black Monday in the past now, and

138
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 4: you know, opening's kind of figured out already and who's

139
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 4: gonna end up where.

140
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 5: So this is a fascinating time, especially with this coaching staff.

141
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I don't see will leaving. I mean you

142
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: have to take these these interviews, no question about it.

143
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 3: But the dan Quinn thing, that's a lot more up

144
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: in the air, just because it's been multiple years where

145
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: he's sat there and had these opportunities to you know,

146
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: return to being a head coach, and you just look

147
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: at like the Eagle situation, that's the way it is

148
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 3: going forward. You have a good team, teams, teams are

149
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 3: trying to take your assistant coaches. So, uh, I get it.

150
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: If you're a Cowboys fan, you look at this and

151
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: you're you know, you might panic or whatever, like, oh, well,

152
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: you know we could lose dan coinn or whatever.

153
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: But you don't know.

154
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 3: And I will say this. The one other thing is

155
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: that some people might look at all this could be

156
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 3: a distraction, you know all you know, teams in the

157
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: playoffs and now all of a sudden, the coaches doing

158
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: interviews or whatever like that. Like dan Quinn has done

159
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 3: so many of these. He's a pros pro that's not

160
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: going to take any anything away from him getting ready

161
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: for whoever their opponent is Packers this week and whatever

162
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: going forward. So that just comes with it. I mean,

163
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: if you're a good team, that's how it is. I mean,

164
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: I've seen it this year with the Lions. You know,

165
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: like the Lions are generally not a team that people

166
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: are like trying to get their assistant coaches, but their

167
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: offensive defensive coordinator is getting tons of interviews. So that

168
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: just comes with it. If you're going to be a

169
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: good team, you're going to have this happening you all

170
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: the time.

171
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: And it's always going to go into the playoffs because

172
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: that's when teams are looking. Black Monday's already in the

173
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: rearview mirror and teams are making their moves. You also

174
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: look at i mean, look at the Super Bowl teams

175
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: last year. You have Philadelphia on one side and you

176
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: have Kansas City on the other side. Those coordinators all

177
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: pretty much all four of them, I think it was

178
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: three of the four took new job in twenty twenty three.

179
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: That you had both of the coordinators for Philadelphia and

180
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: then he had Eric b Enemy go to the offensive

181
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: coordinator job in Washington. So it is interesting to see

182
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: just how much of that does come down going into

183
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Of course, none of it's going to come

184
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: to light until after that team is eliminated or however

185
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,119
Speaker 1: long that ends up running.

186
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just the juggle game, I guess at the

187
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: end of the day, and there's nothing that the Cowboys

188
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 4: can do to control that real quickly.

189
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: Which one do you feel like would be the most

190
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: significant loss out of the two, Will McLay or dan

191
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 1: Quinn Will McClay, Yeah, I think so too. And it

192
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: may not be the biggest name because dan Quinn's going

193
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: to be at the coach and he'll be out there

194
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: and it'll be in the news.

195
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: But if Will McClay walks, that's a massive blow.

196
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: You look at the way this roster has, but it

197
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 4: constructed since Will McLay has been here. I mean, his

198
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: footprint is his fingerprints are all over it.

199
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: Footprint footprint too.

200
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, I guess he's kicking the door in his

201
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 5: his prints are all over it.

202
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

203
00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 4: You know, he's big on those those verified measurement, verified

204
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 4: athleticism numbers that come out of the draft. He's he's

205
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: big on, you know, looking for those really small school

206
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 4: guys that have been able to come in and he

207
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 4: prefers that athleticism and you can see it on the team,

208
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 4: especially on the defensive side of the ball.

209
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 5: Dan Quinn has been a big part of that as well.

210
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 4: So I think I think Will McClay would be the

211
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: bigger loss just because you would have to account for

212
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 4: that just personnel mindset, and it's hard to find, you know,

213
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: completely because everyone has a different personnel mindset in the

214
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 4: scouting department. So I think that would be the bigger

215
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 4: loss as far as replacing him.

216
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, i'd agree, especially just because of the fact

217
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 3: of where this team is right now. You know, all

218
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: the guys, the ones on the wall behind you, right there,

219
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 3: and he's over here. I mean he's you know, helped

220
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: draft those guys and they're all making lots of money.

221
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: And so for UH to pay Dak and CD and

222
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 3: Mike of those next contracts, you're going to really be

223
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 3: relying on the draft going forward and finding some gems there.

224
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, losing what would be would be huge.

225
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: You said, he you don't anticipate him leaving?

226
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 3: Why we Well, he said, he has said this a

227
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 3: bunch and I don't think it's changed. I mean, his

228
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: one of his top goals is that he wants to

229
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: win a super Bowl with Jerry Jones, you know, and

230
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: he's close with the Jones family. He's obviously been here.

231
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 3: I know, he really likes it here. Yeah, not just

232
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: the Cowboys, but living in Texas and that, and so

233
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: I think it would be easier for him to move

234
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: to another gig if they were coming off winning the

235
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, but not when you know, it's kind of like,

236
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: I mean, last night's a good example, Like there's a

237
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 3: part of the Jim Harbaugh story where he went back

238
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: to his own matter and he's going to try and

239
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 3: turn this thing around finally, you know. I mean, they're

240
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 3: just getting owned by Ohio State for like two decades,

241
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: and he turns it around. They went three in a row,

242
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: gets them in the in the colleg Football Playoff three

243
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: years in a row, and then finally wins the National Championship.

244
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 3: Because of that, I think he's gone, yeah, you know,

245
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: and for Will, if he was to, you know, they

246
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: were to win a super Bowl here, maybe then I

247
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: just think that that's something he really wants to do,

248
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 3: you know. And I'm not saying that he his way,

249
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't be surprised if he does or not,

250
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 3: but when you I'm sure he feels like they're close.

251
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: And I'll just use it as my own perspective from

252
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: my own job. And I've probably told you guys this before,

253
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: and I don't know if I ever said it on

254
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 3: the air before, but one of my biggest fears would

255
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 3: be to cover another team, to leave this beat when

256
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: the Cowboys won a Super Bowl. I would be sick

257
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: to my stomach if I left and then they won,

258
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: you know, because it just it's just different, you know,

259
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 3: And and people can sit there and that don't like

260
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: the Cowboys and it's all America's team and all that,

261
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: and it's not whatever. This is just but it is different.

262
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: The Cowboys are different. So and I don't know if

263
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: you took it this way, but Jerry on the radio today,

264
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: I kind of felt like was saying that like in

265
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: a way, like you know, when he said the thing

266
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: about exon, I was kind of feeling like he's he's

267
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 3: not gonna come out and say like this is the

268
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys. We're gonna be fine, We're gonna get people.

269
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 3: But but it is just it is just different. And

270
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 3: so if you feel like they're close, like I'm sure

271
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: Will does. I think it'd be really hard to leave this.

272
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I agree.

273
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 4: Moving on to Stefan Gilmore and Tyler Smith and news

274
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 4: coming into this week.

275
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 5: We didn't touch on it yesterday.

276
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 4: It was to find Gilmore but dislocated his shoulder and

277
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 4: the win against Washington and was able to pop it

278
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 4: back in place on the sideline, had the second half

279
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: with a sling over his shoulder, and then told Mike

280
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 4: McCarthy after the game, I'm good, I'm gonna be ready,

281
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 4: and then told reporters after the game in the locker

282
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 4: room that he felt great and that, you know, it

283
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 4: just kind of depends on the week. And that was

284
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: more of what we heard yesterday from Mike McCarthy and

285
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 4: then this morning again from Jerry Jones. Sounds like he'll

286
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 4: probably get a rest day tomorrow on Wednesday, if I

287
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 4: would have to guess, and then probably limited on Thursday

288
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 4: and or Friday. But I fully expect to find Gilmore

289
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 4: to go on Sunday. It appears he'll probably wear one

290
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 4: of those harnesses under his jersey on the to protect

291
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: the shoulder.

292
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 5: I wonder how much of his you know, movement will be.

293
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 4: Conflicted with but we'll just kind of see as the

294
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 4: week goes on, that'll be a little bit more clear.

295
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 4: And then Tyler Smith sounds like he's gonna get ready

296
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 4: to go this week as well, dealing with that horn

297
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 4: planner fashion that he suffered against Detroit obviously, but it

298
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 4: sounds like they're looking forward to getting him back on

299
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 4: the field and this week in a limited practice fashion

300
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: and then play on son Aegasreenbay, So.

301
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: Good news on both fronts.

302
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: Stephan Gilmour starting with him specifically, I mean we asked

303
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: Barry Church on postgame show coverage of when you're wearing

304
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: brakece like that on your shoulder, how can that affect

305
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: you as a defensive back?

306
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:24,599
Speaker 2: How can that affect you?

307
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Of course Barry played safety, but he was saying from

308
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: a cornerback standpoint, it's not going to affect you as

309
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: much because you can still move, you can still use

310
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: your hands, you can still be.

311
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: Semi physical, probably not as physical, especially in the run game.

312
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: Can't come downhill and just hit people with your shoulder

313
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But it is going to affect

314
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: you just from a physicality standpoint, in terms of the

315
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: actual coverage ability in the way that he's able to

316
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: defend the pass, it shouldn't affect Stephan Gilmore too much.

317
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: So great news, especially in a scary moment where he

318
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: was being held coming off the field. I thought it

319
00:13:59,040 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: could have been.

320
00:13:59,480 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: A lot worse.

321
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and we go back to that, the Trayvon

322
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: Diggs injury. I remember, you know, that was the talk.

323
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: Then it was just well, that's a big loss. But

324
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 3: then it's also one of those you look at the

325
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 3: depth at the position, like a significant.

326
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: Drop only year you probably could right, right, And.

327
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 3: So when this is two games now where Gilmore has

328
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: been kind of slow to get up on different things recently,

329
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 3: and you just think, okay, well there's a big drop

330
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 3: off if you don't have him. So even him with

331
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: a harness and maybe being say ninety eighty five percent,

332
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: I mean, you'll take that to over the fact or

333
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: the possibility of you not having him.

334
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was funny this morning hearing Jerry Jones

335
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: talking about being healthy going into the playoffs, and he

336
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: was talking specifically about this team. He wouldn't want to

337
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: set him up any better, he wouldn't want to put

338
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: him in his position better.

339
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: The first thing that popped in my head was.

340
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 5: Man, I would love Trayvon Yeah, that's really too too.

341
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: I would love on this roster. I'd love Layton Vandersch

342
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: on this roster two. I think overshown it would be

343
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: a huge piece.

344
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 2: But I get what he's saying.

345
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, overall, this the health of this team, that

346
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: cornerstones of this franchise. They are healthy going into the postseason.

347
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: I completely agree they're in a good spot. But man,

348
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: it would push him over the top if you had

349
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: guys like that available.

350
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 5: Look was Stefan Gilmore.

351
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 4: And Nashan Wright because that was who kind of came

352
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 4: in for Gilmore after he got hurt on Sunday. How

353
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 4: catastrophic would it be if Gilmore couldn't play right?

354
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: Why do we got to talk about this?

355
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: I'm just throwing it out there. How is it a

356
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 4: catastrophic thing? I think about na Sean Wright. I see

357
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 4: a strong training camp, honestly, that he had a preseason

358
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 4: that he put together where he had some really shining moments.

359
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 5: But he hasn't really been trusted on the field just

360
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 5: yet so far this year.

361
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 4: Battled a little bit of injury early in the season two,

362
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 4: and we haven't quite seen that third round type talent

363
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 4: from Nashan, right, since he's been in Dallas. So is

364
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 4: it a huge catastrophic loss Stefan Gilmore cannot.

365
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 5: Play on Sunday? That's I think it's a reasonable thing

366
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 5: to kind of look at.

367
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: I would say, yes, yeah, I don't know.

368
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if i'd use the word catastrophic. But

369
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: if I was ranking, you know, the roster and players

370
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: that you can't afford to lose, he's certainly in the

371
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: top ten.

372
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

373
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, i'd say top five probably borderline top five, borderline

374
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 4: top five, I mean.

375
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: Okay, dak micah cd CD, Yeah, those are top three,

376
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: no doubt. The top three is then often I would

377
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: say two offensive linemen, probably Zach.

378
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: I mean, we've we've seen you can survive without Zach.

379
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 5: But that's why I would put like Gilmore above the

380
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 5: offensive line.

381
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you feel better about Brockoffman and t J.

382
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: Bass behind him. What about Tyron Smith?

383
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's biguma. Yeah, depends on who you're going against.

384
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Tyran Smith's gotta be.

385
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 5: Tyro Smith's probably the only offensive lineman. Would put it

386
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 5: on hil.

387
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: Moore pretty rough after that, but yeah, I think Gilmour's

388
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: border Damon. Yeah, just because you don't have anybody else period.

389
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 5: Clark goes down. Who's off a linebacker one?

390
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: Thomas, Yeah, I.

391
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 5: Mean it's it's yeah, it's rough, it's ya.

392
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: Buddy Johnson, Yeah, yeah, off of the practice.

393
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 4: Squad probably probably, so he's been getting those elevations and

394
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 4: then the elevations reset this week or reset for the playoffs.

395
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 5: They can elevate whoever for the playoffs, so that'll obviously

396
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 5: help the double.

397
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: Is there a limit in the playoffs? Is it only three? No,

398
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: you can go all four games?

399
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, yep, So I was curious. We will see

400
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 5: how that that goes down.

401
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 4: But other than that, other than those two notes, we

402
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 4: talked to coordinators yesterday, there seems to be some confidence

403
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 4: in this building for going going into this week, going

404
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 4: into the playoffs, and no one came out and said it,

405
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 4: but this is probably the the opportunity that they feel

406
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 4: best about, you know, getting the Packers in the first round,

407
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 4: avoiding both the forty nine Ers and the red Hot

408
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 4: Rams until the NFC Championship game at the latest.

409
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 5: You know, these these first two rounds at home too.

410
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 4: You couldn't have asked it to be set up much

411
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 4: better and you feel the confidence around this building and

412
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 4: you felt it yesterday talking to Mike McCarthy, talking to

413
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 4: the coordinators.

414
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 5: You know they feel good going into this week.

415
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, big thing for me with their position that they're

416
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 3: in because I agree with Jerry Rell, the health is outstanding.

417
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: With all things considered, you look at other teams and

418
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: where they're at. Everyone, like when you mentioned tray Bon Diggs,

419
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 3: there's every team like that's in there once. If it's

420
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: not a guy that's missing, it's somebody that's banged up

421
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 3: right now that you'd love to have them at one

422
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: hundred percent. But the thing for me that makes it

423
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 3: feel like this could be different is that they're battle tested,

424
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: that the things that they've done the last couple of

425
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: years have put them in a position that nothing that

426
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 3: should happen going forward should be any bit of a surprise.

427
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: No matter what happens. I mean, you have to go

428
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: to San Francisco. You've already gone to San Francisco, you know, Yeah,

429
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: it's going to be tough. Everybody knows that they're going

430
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: to be favored and they're probably the better team, But

431
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that in this league of parody, that

432
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 3: you can't have the better day when that game boom,

433
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: you're in the super Bowl. You know, like this Packers team,

434
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: are they really battle tested? Not really the Lions.

435
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 7: No.

436
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: So it's like you look at like the Eagles, the Niners,

437
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: and the Cowboys, those are the teams going into this playoffs,

438
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: they are like, yeah, those are the teams that they've

439
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: kind of been through it. And now with the way

440
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 3: the Eagles are playing, I don't think anybody looks at

441
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: them as that type of thing. And frankly, if you're

442
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: a Cowboys fan, you would want to play the Eagles.

443
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: You'd want them to be the team that you would

444
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: have to go against because it'd be at at and

445
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: T Stadium. You know. For a long time, I know

446
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 3: I was thinking that, well, if they're gonna go through

447
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: the Eagles, they're gonna have to go to Philadelphia. January

448
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: could be, you know, just awful weather, bad, ugly game.

449
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: But they've gotten all this from the last two years,

450
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 3: built up with so many key players in this team

451
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: that they should be ready for whatever happens. Come out

452
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: in a slow start, they shouldn't blink. They should be

453
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: able to respond to any anything that that happens. Then

454
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 3: because of what they've gone through.

455
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 4: So I said this yesterday, I'm curious your opinion, John,

456
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 4: there's no excuse why this team shouldn't win two games.

457
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: None, There's no excuse.

458
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: Of my I thought of it literally when you talked

459
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: about the Gilmore thing, I was like, even without them,

460
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 3: they should be able to win offense alone, CD and DAK.

461
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: The level they're playing at is good enough for me

462
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: that I believe with them playing at home, they should

463
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 3: beat the Packers, they should be the lines. They should

464
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: be in the NFC Championship game. Then whatever happens from

465
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 3: there happens from there. But yeah, no, it's a disappointment.

466
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 3: They don't get the NFC Championship game.

467
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: No doubt about it, no doubt about it.

468
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: And there's been reports out there about McCarthy's future and

469
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: the tenure with the head coach.

470
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily buy it.

471
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: I think there is a concern on playoff success, and

472
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: I think there's going to be.

473
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: A level of interest from the fan base in his future.

474
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: I think his futures locked up. That's just my personal opinion.

475
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be here. Based off of Jerry

476
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: Jones's answers, and based off of really the way that

477
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: this this current franchise feels about their head coach.

478
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: They look to him now more than they ever have.

479
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 4: I agree with you, but I think there is a

480
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 4: difference between making it to the NFC Championship game and

481
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: stumbling against the Packers in the wildcard round.

482
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 5: And how quote unquote locked up you are?

483
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: You know, end of sure, because if you come out

484
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: and you lay a egg against Green Bay, then.

485
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: Then maybe we can have that conversation. Yeah.

486
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 4: I think that's where things get a little bit. But

487
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 4: that's where talking points get made. Yeah, because that's going

488
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 4: to be everything that's talked about next week. Is that,

489
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 4: you know, playoff success hasn't been here, even though twelve

490
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 4: one seasons have.

491
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: But let's get to the game first.

492
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to play the games right, all right.

493
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,600

Speaker 2: It's a Talking Tuesday. When we come back.

499
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 8: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to

500
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 8: jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat

501
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 8: repellent he bought online was reliable, and now Todd is

502
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 8: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run

503
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 8: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd

504
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 8: has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable,

505
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 8: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do

506
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 8: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the

507
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 8: beef stew at and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,

508
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,040

Speaker 1: Our first text message that I saw today, it's from

558
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: a six to zero nine says, can you guys start

559
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: a rumor that Jimmy Johnson's going to be at the

560
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: game this weekend, just so we have more Cowboys fans

561
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: there than Packer fans.

562
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 7: I like it.

563
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of a strategy play there. Yeah,

564
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: do you expect a lot of Packers fans? John?

565
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,479
Speaker 3: I mean there shouldn't be more than well, yeah, there

566
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: should not be more than Cowboys fans. That would be embarrassing.

567
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, especially this year, it's wide out, it's right,

568
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: a big, big game.

569
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 3: And then just where the Cowboys are at, I mean

570
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 3: they're just this is a team that could go to

571
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,239
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Like, I don't think Packers fans are

572
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: looking at this Packer. I mean they're looking at this

573
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 3: package and like, well where did this come from? I

574
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 3: just yeah, there's gonna be a lot of Packers fans there,

575
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 3: just because there's a lot of Packers fans in the country.

576
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: But it's not gonna be like, oh, I don't know,

577
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 3: Sunday and our nation's capital.

578
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: I mean that was so bad. Yeah, what was the percentage?

579
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: Eighty eighty percent? Cowboys fans don't get me out in there, so.

580
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, seventy at least seventy, you know, walking in

581
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 3: just and then walking around the concourse and things like that.

582
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: I watched two series down in the stands when the

583
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 3: game started, and I mean like all behind the Cowboys

584
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 3: bench was like a Cowboys home game for sure. And

585
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: then just the Upper Bowl wasn't complete sold out, so

586
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 3: that that you got to factor that in too, you know.

587
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 3: So I'll say seventy as as.

588
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: As an official number. Hey, but official estimate.

589
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: If you're a Commander's fan, why would you go to

590
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: that game? No, you know, this is like a hated rival.

591
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 3: You know, they're probably going to win. The only reason

592
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 3: you'd go is to play spoiler.

593
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: You know, so I didn't know you're probably going to

594
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: get beat thirty eight to ten, right, I mean, if.

595
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 4: You're a Commander's fan, you probably show up in a

596
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 4: Cowboys uniform so that you can get the number two

597
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 4: overall Pick's true too cheering for the opposite.

598
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: I think the Packers fans will probably look like there's

599
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: more than there probably are, just because if you if

600
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 3: Cowboys fans are wearing all white and then they're wearing

601
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: green and yellow, that's going to stand out. So it'll

602
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 3: probably look that way, But I don't think it'll be

603
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, twenty five percent maybe at the most.

604
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: Gotta be that's it. Maximum Cowboys Nation, get out.

605
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 3: The understand why Cowboys fans wouldn't be pumped to go

606
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 3: to this game.

607
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 2: You got to be pumped to go to this straight

608
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 2: home games. You're eight to zero at home.

609
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 4: Jerry Jones is kind of asked about it this morning

610
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 4: about like, do you try to box out Packer fans

611
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 4: from from you know, getting tickets?

612
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a moron, so I just helped me

613
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 3: out here. Guys, how could you do that?

614
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: There is a way that you can like section off

615
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 4: zip codes from buying tickets. Yeah, like it's exactly Yeah, yeah,

616
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 4: that's that's the exact uh big big brain work.

617
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of Packers fans that just

618
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 3: live down here.

619
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.

620
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 4: So it's like it's it's still gonna stand near impossible

621
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: to do it completely.

622
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: But so what you do is you buy the ticket

623
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 3: yourself if you're a Packers fan, and then any of

624
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: your friends that are coming down from Green Bay or

625
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: whatever like that. Like, I just don't think that it

626
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 3: would be I just think would be too difficult to

627
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 3: try and you know limit that.

628
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're going to go to the game, if

629
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: you are set as a fan at least I know

630
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,680

00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,040

Speaker 11: Good morning guys.

00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 2: How you doing great? How are you good?

652
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 12: Hey?

653
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 11: A couple questions. Well, first of all, statement, this weekend's

654
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 11: game brings me back to the sixty six game, which

655
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 11: was my first Dallas Green Bay Championship game with Leon Donue.

656
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 11: Missed that block on Dave Robinson clause and Meritith to

657
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 11: throw a pick in the end zone.

658
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: Remember that like it was yesterday.

659
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 11: There you go. Hey, I'm I'm struggling with dan Quinn's defense, okay,

660
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 11: last not this past week, but Prider that those last

661
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 11: couple of drives to me, he's playing not to loose.

662
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 11: Seems like the aggressiveness gets somewhat diminish, and he's playing

663
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 11: not to lose rather than to win. And I find

664
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 11: I have an issue with that, and that's maybe just

665
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 11: me that's maybe my observation. The other thing I know,

666
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 11: Nick yesterday mentioned that, you know, Lee Karen Steele has

667
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 11: played better than what people might think. I disagree with that.

668
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 11: I think we have two big holes in that offensive line,

669
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 11: Faddish and Steel. And I'm wondering if if Collins looks

670
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 11: good at any point, if Steel struggles, do they go with.

671
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: Do they go with Lyle Collins?

672
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, so I'll hang up and listen to what you think.

673
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 2: Thanks, guys, appreciate you. Dano a couple of questions there.

674
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: Let's start with the defensive side of that.

675
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 3: Let's start with your memories of the sixty six game.

676
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, first, good time. Well, I mean the Packers went

677
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 2: on to win Super Bowl One.

678
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: The next year they came back met in the NFC

679
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: Championship game again, nineteen sixty seven.

680
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: That was also known as the Ice Bowl. Ice Bowl.

681
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 2: Nice job, negative thirteen degree weather. Don't like that. I'd

682
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: have done. I guess what happened.

683
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys lost, Green Bay went on they won Super Bowls

684
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: one and two underneath legendary head coach Vince Lombardi.

685
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: I've heard of him. Yeah, he's he's on the trophy.

686
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: Now ever heard of his work so good thing.

687
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 4: So if if the Cowboys win those games instead of

688
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 4: the Packers, is that the Landry Trophy instead of the

689
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 4: Lombardi Trap.

690
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: Very good shot, honestly, I mean there were a lot

691
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: of things that Lombardi did well, but yeah, but you

692
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: gotta win.

693
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: If you're the first one to win it, it could

694
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 2: be the Tom Landry Trophy.

695
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 11: Yeah.

696
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 5: Anyway, are we gonna start with defense?

697
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: Start with defense? Okay, unless you want to start with

698
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: Lyele Collins.

699
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd rather start with that.

700
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: Let's start with Lyle Collins.

701
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 4: Came at me a little bit, but it's fine. I

702
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: think he may be misundertood what I said yesterday.

703
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: I don't.

704
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 4: I don't believe I said Terren Steel's been playing better

705
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 4: than people that think. But what I'm more I was

706
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 4: saying that he put together seventeen games of being on

707
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 4: the field for every single snap up until that those

708
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 4: final couple series yep on Sunday, and he really struggled

709
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the season, and he started to

710
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 4: stack really good games over the course of the back

711
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 4: half of the season.

712
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: I would argue that the bad half he's played better

713
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: than most people think.

714
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I would argue that, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're season

715
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 5: not so much.

716
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: We're talking Week nine against Philadelphia not so much.

717
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was kind of strap second half

718
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: of the season, weeks ten through eighteen.

719
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: He was playing better than most people think.

720
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 4: As far as like putting in Lyle Collins in place

721
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 4: of him, if things aren't going well, that's just not

722
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 4: going to happen.

723
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 5: That's just not going to happen in the playoffs this year.

724
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 5: That's yeah, it's not gonna happen.

725
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: Completely agree, Yeah, completely agree. Injury is the only way

726
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 3: that I could see them putting Lyle like Terry have

727
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: to get hurt. Uh yeah, right, But as long as

728
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: Terrence is healthy, he's he's going to stay out there.

729
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 3: They're not gonna They're not going to move in Lyle

730
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 3: like that. I just I know they look at Terrence

731
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 3: as is a piece of the future. I don't think

732
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: they would do that to him on just some bad play,

733
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 3: you know, And I don't think he'll be he would

734
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 3: be bad enough that that that they would turn to

735
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 3: that anyway. I just I don't know where Lyle's at

736
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: in terms of being able to step in right away,

737
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, there's yeah, he's in shape, looks good,

738
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 3: obviously said all the right things we talked to him

739
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 3: last week. But you know, playing in in playoff games,

740
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 3: is he ready for that? He might be, but I

741
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 3: don't know that there's gonna throw him out there. If

742
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 3: we really don't like the way this guy's playing, let's

743
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: go through Alysle and there. I don't see that happening.

744
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 3: I just think they're too deep into this season to

745
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 3: get to the spot where they're at for them to

746
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: change that up there.

747
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 5: What was the other question?

748
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: It was dan Quinn. He's worried about dan quinns. He's

749
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: not alone on that.

750
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 3: There's a lot I've seen that on Twitter a lot

751
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: after these games, that people think that they're going to

752
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 3: too much pre event. I just me personally, I don't.

753
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 3: I just don't think that that's just a Cowboys thing.

754
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 3: I think that's just the way football's played nowadays.

755
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: You know.

756
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

757
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 3: So I'm going to go out on a limb and

758
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: say that dan Quinn probably knows more about defensive football

759
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 3: than all of us, and there's probably a reason he

760
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: does that. So I guess I'll be the idiot and

761
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 3: lean on that.

762
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 5: You look at these.

763
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 4: Final three games, that they played after the Buffalo game,

764
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 4: and they're only given up eighty eight yards per game

765
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 4: on the ground. They've forced five turnovers in those three games,

766
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 4: and they're allowing seventeen points per game. So, I mean,

767
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 4: this defense is kind of hitting his stride right now.

768
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 4: I'm not worried about the defensive unit as far as

769
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: it being too conservative at times.

770
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't see that as a major issue.

771
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the only I think the two major

772
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 4: things that I look at as far as like I

773
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 4: would put under cons on this defense are one, there's

774
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 4: just kind of.

775
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 5: A lack of size.

776
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 4: They have sacrificed that for athleticism in a lot of

777
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 4: areas on all three levels. And then two being able

778
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 4: to handle speed. And then other than those two things, like,

779
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 4: I don't have any concerns about this defense.

780
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: One of the.

781
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: Questions on our text line six p. One nine asked

782
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: the last caller mentioned Dan Quinn. Is there a possible

783
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: successor in the building if Slash win he leaves, who

784
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: can use these players and their skill set the way

785
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: that Quinn intended to be the be the next defense.

786
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 2: I don't see it.

787
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 3: I don't know Mike McCarthy's wanted previous head coaches to

788
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 3: be his DC, and he said that before he started

789
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: calling the offense. Yeah, so I don't see how he's

790
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 3: not hiring somebody that is a former head coach to

791
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 3: be his DC.

792
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 5: I agree with you.

793
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 4: I think I think two guys on the defensive staff

794
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 4: could be coordinators one day, not necessarily saying that they can.

795
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 3: Oh no, there's those guys, but I'm saying Al.

796
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: Harris for sure. Al Harris was the first one I

797
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 2: thought of.

798
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 5: It would probably be Joe.

799
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 2: Specifically here, it would be Joe Witt, definitely.

800
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 3: I would just be very surprised. The only way I

801
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 3: could see it may be happening is if they won

802
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl and they were like, let's just try

803
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 3: and keep this super as much as possible. But I

804
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 3: find it very hard to believe that it isn't going

805
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 3: to be somebody that's been a previous head coach.

806
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: All right, Marco in Italy, We're going across the pond.

807
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 12: What's up Marco, guys, good morning, Thank you for having

808
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 12: me back talking to you.

809
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, good to talk to you.

810
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 12: Yeah to three three good points. So from I wanted

811
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 12: to share with you mind about Jake Ferguson. I mean,

812
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 12: I really like the guy who's it's such tough. He

813
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 12: gets hit with hammers from defenders when he goes through

814
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 12: the middle and while stands up saying, this is the

815
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 12: best that you can do. Do you have anything else

816
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 12: to thought? I love the guy. I love his toughness,

817
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 12: and he reminds me of Jason written. I'm not just saying.

818
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 12: I'm not saying that today he's like Witten. Obviously we

819
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 12: do hope that one day he will be. But his toughness,

820
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 12: the way he plays did end reminds the middle victim.

821
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 12: And I just love the guy. What can I say?

822
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 12: I love the guy. Then the the question that I

823
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 12: have for you is looking at the forty nine ers,

824
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 12: and we obviously hope that you know, we we cross

825
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 12: papped with the forty nine ers.

826
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 13: Job.

827
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 12: I don't know whether we hope it, but it may

828
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 12: be that we cross Pappy with the forty nine ers.

829
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 12: Game three of their losses came with a sc North

830
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 12: tos the Browns, the Bengals and the Ravens now. I

831
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 12: don't know whether there's a just a matter of chance

832
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 12: or to the common denominator. The way the AFC North

833
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 12: places football. That is just tough for the for the

834
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 12: knives to digest again. Question for you, you know more

835
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 12: than me. I'll be happy to hear it. And then

836
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 12: the final your thoes. I need your help on one thing.

837
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 12: I was thinking about buying cheese steaks for some teams.

838
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 12: I don't know whether there should be the Giants or

839
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 12: maybe the Cardinals, just to reciprocate the knighte g. Just

840
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 12: to the colegials last year. Uh, you know, to to

841
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 12: go pressent with the Jaguars. I think it would be

842
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 12: extremely nice and polite for us or to buy some

843
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 12: cheese steaks to one of those things, just you know,

844
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 12: to show them we're nice guys, because at the end

845
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 12: of the day, that's what we Cowboys said. Thank you,

846
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 12: thank you, Thank you guys. Always great talking to you,

847
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 12: and go Cowboys.

848
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, go Cowboys.

849
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: You have to buy a lot of cheese steaks for

850
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: those teams because the Eagles lost five of six. That's

851
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: a lot of cheese steaks. Gotta find a way. Yeah,

852
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: he said he got to pick a team. Probably the

853
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: Cardinals is the first one because that's the one that

854
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: opened the door.

855
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, a bit.

856
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 4: I'm looking at I'm looking at the combined weight of

857
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 4: both teams, and I'm taking the team with the lower combined.

858
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: Oh, that's that's next level, thinking that's chest, not checkers.

859
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 12: I like that.

860
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna save a buck.

861
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: And then he was talking about the AFC North teams

862
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: that beat the forty nine ers, the Browns, the Bengals,

863
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens.

864
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: The AFC North.

865
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: Beat everybody their first team or first division to finish

866
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: above five hundred in like eighty years something like that.

867
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody means above five hundred.

868
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, And I do buy it in a

869
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 3: little bit into that whole playing outside. You know, there

870
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 3: there is like a toughness because I will say, I

871
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 3: do think you have to be tough to beat the Niners.

872
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 3: I don't think you can finesse them if you're going

873
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 3: to beat them. So I think that's probably part of it,

874
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 3: that the style of play probably factors in. But I

875
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 3: do think that this Cowboys team, now, it is built

876
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 3: and they do play, as mich McCarthy would say, it's

877
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 3: a dome team. But I do think that they can

878
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 3: play tough when they need to. And I think of

879
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 3: if they got to the NFC Championship game, all that

880
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 3: would be on the line. The fact that this is

881
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 3: the team that ended your season the last two years,

882
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 3: you know, the whole Cowboys Niners rivalry. I think that

883
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 3: they would play a pretty tough game. I don't think

884
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 3: that they would get punched in the mouth and that

885
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 3: would be the reason they lost. They might, they might

886
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: lose because the Niners are a better team and they

887
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 3: just play better at home. But I don't think that

888
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 3: they'll get punched in the mouth and embarrassed. I don't

889
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 3: see that happening at all.

890
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, especially going back to Santa Clara too,

891
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 4: given what happened in Week five, as you mentioned, gosh,

892
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 4: it would be meteoric the hype if they were able

893
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 4: to get that done. Going you have two weeks to

894
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 4: let the super Bowl build. That would be a lot

895
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 4: of fun to just cover and be a part of.

896
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, I got to get their first two more games.

897
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 4: But that is a tough team, really tough team.

898
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: I just had like, not even flashbacks because it's never

899
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: happened before, but just like a flash forward of, like

900
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: you said, the metiorc hype of what it would take

901
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: if you go when you win these two home games,

902
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: you win against the forty nine ers, which is easier

903
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: said than done. And then you're going into the Super

904
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: Bowl with that hype going into it. Yeah, that would

905
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: be astronomical.

906
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,239

946
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 8: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

947
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,880

Speaker 3: I want to be Green Bay so bad.

968
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 13: It's say it's say, I was thinkingating was like tomorrow,

00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:19,160

970
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: Appreciate you, Mike, and always great points bringing up Zach

971
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: Martin and.

972
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 2: He always brings so much energy.

973
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 5: I love Mike.

974
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: I love it man, that's awesome. Uh, here's the thing

975
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: about Zach Martin. He's got to be back, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

976
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: it's it's just a quick illness.

977
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 4: I think they caught it. I think he caught it

978
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 4: just on the wrong day. Of all days, he caught

979
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 4: it on the wrong day. If he caught it on Saturday,

980
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 4: probably would have been able to get my v's.

981
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 5: In, get some treatment in and play on Sunday.

982
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

983
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 4: If he caught it obviously yesterday, then obviously you know,

984
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 4: he'd be fine. I'll probably this up coming Sunday. I

985
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 4: think he woke up on Sunday felt ill. And that's

986
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 4: it's what kind of started the snowball effect of eventually

987
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 4: he was.

988
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 5: With the team on the trip, right, Yeah, he traveled.

989
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 5: He was fine on Saturday.

990
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it was Sunday morning, woke up, did not

991
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 4: feel well, felt like death, and yeah, and then brought

992
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 4: off and stepped in and bt B.

993
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 5: According to Dak Prescott, big time brock stepped.

994
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 3: So I liked that, and I was looking through the

995
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 3: pictures that they always you know, they're posted on the

996
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 3: team's Instagram account, like everybody's like just like at these

997
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 3: right now. Okay, so like, hey, guys, what's up? You

Speaker 2: Okay, guys are walking out man hotel. This is fun.

1002
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 3: Jake Ferguson, what's up, guys, What's I don't feel good?

1003
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 3: It's not time for a picture.

1004
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 2: Okay, what are we doing? I don't want to do

1005
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 2: in the picture now. Yeah, he is certainly the to

1006
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: I guess that's that one's mine. But yeah, there you go.

1007
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 3: He that did not seem like he was ready for

1008
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 3: the wanting to participate in the pregame photo shoot.

1009
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 2: Oh poor guy. Yeah.

1010
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 3: I think they're honestly, like, that's what you guys. Look

1011
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 3: at it more from a Cowboys Perspective'm not a Cowboys fan.

1012
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 3: I look at more of just an NFL like outside

1013
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 3: perspective type thing, and I'm just like, like Zach was

1014
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 3: dealing with an illness, He's gonna be back to a

1015
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 3: playoff game. Tyler Smith is gonna be out there. They

1016
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 3: didn't play him because the planner fasciot, why not buy

1017
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 3: him another Let's be honest, too, they knew they were

1018
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 3: going to beat Washington. Let's let's buy him another week.

1019
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 3: You get Jonathan Hankins back, and then you avoided a

1020
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 3: catastrophic Stefan Gilmore injury for the second time in the

1021
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 3: last three or four weeks. Like you're in great shape

1022
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: going into the playoffs with all things considered, you know,

1023
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 3: so yeah, Like, I don't think that you could ask

1024
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 3: for much more. I think it would be unrealistic for

1025
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 3: you to sit there and expect that you wouldn't have

1026
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 3: a trade on Diggs, that you wouldn't have a Marvin Overshown.

1027
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 3: That stuff just happens. It's NFL football, you know, Like

1028
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 3: that you're going to have those Like all things considered

1029
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 3: with the you look at who are the most important

1030
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 3: players and the ones that could make the biggest difference

1031
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 3: in any of these playoff games. Like they're almost all there,

1032
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 3: you know, and and healthy and playing well.

1033
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 2: So kind of along those same lines, the seven oh three.

1034
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 2: This is Noah in Washington.

1035
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: He says, what makes this team better than the last

1036
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: two playoff teams for the Cowboys is that a big

1037
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: part of it, or is it.

1038
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 2: More than that.

1039
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 3: Well, I think experience is the big one, you know,

1040
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 3: just because, like I said earlier, having gone through it.

1041
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 3: But the other one with me, and I thought about

1042
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 3: this a lot after the game, was just the way

1043
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 3: that Dak and CD are playing and the level that

1044
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: they're on makes me think that they're going to be

1045
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 3: in every game that they play. You know, there were

1046
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 3: just times in some of these previous seasons where I

1047
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 3: just didn't see them having that same type of rapport.

1048
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 5: You know.

1049
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 3: Obviously twenty sixteen you had some of that with Dak

1050
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 3: and Zeke being rookies and it was just kind of

1051
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 3: like they could do no wrong in that. But I

1052
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 3: don't know that they were playing as well.

1053
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 2: Now.

1054
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 3: Of course you can come back and say, well, they

1055
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 3: were probably running the ball better than they are right now.

1056
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 3: They're obviously not running it well. But I just think

1057
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 3: Dak and CD are playing on a level of that's

1058
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 3: the type of stuff that you see. Again, I'm not

1059
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 3: looking at this as being a Cowboys fan. I'm looking

1060
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 3: at this as just an NFL observer, and that's the

1061
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 3: type of stuff that you see, like getting high at

1062
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 3: the right time and that being a difference in the

1063
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 3: postseason because they're clicking and making huge plays in big moments,

1064
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 3: because let's be honest, there's not gonna be a lot

1065
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 3: of blowouts like these are going to be tight games

1066
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. And I thought it was another

1067
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 3: another good sign as the previous colors said Jake Ferguson, Uh,

1068
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 3: I just think that where he's built to you can

1069
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: trust him, you know, and you can trust Brandon Cooks

1070
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 3: and what it just seems like every week that that

1071
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: rapport is built with Dak too. So what they've done

1072
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 3: through the passing game, I think is the thing that

1073
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 3: gives me the most reasonably. They were just there were

1074
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 3: there were moments, not that I watched all of the

1075
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 3: game last night, but where you're just kind of like,

1076
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 3: how many more quarters are you going to play this this?

1077
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 3: And for Washington to score another touchdown, you know, like

1078
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 3: it just didn't seem like it was gonna happen no

1079
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 3: matter what. Like Michigan wi is just leaving the door

1080
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 3: open for him, and they just weren't going to score.

1081
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 3: I feel like if you do that to this Cowboys team,

1082
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 3: they're gonna they're gonna score. I just feel like that

1083
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 3: they have the rapport uh and that they're playing at

1084
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 3: a level that they hadn't been playing in years past.

1085
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 3: And then also Mike McCarthy calling the plays. He's been

1086
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 3: in a lot of big games. He's got a lot

1087
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 3: of experience in these situations, and so I think those

1088
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 3: are the other things. But health is really high in

1089
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 3: the list for me.

1090
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 4: I agree, experience, and then this offense, the way he's

1091
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 4: playing right now, and the CD kind of had a

1092
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 4: moment after the Buffalo game where it was it wasn't

1093
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 4: as bad as it I don't want to say bad,

1094
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 4: but it wasn't as loud as it was after the

1095
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 4: San Francisco game when he was like, get me the ball,

1096
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 4: but it was kind of the same kind of rhetoric.

1097
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 5: It was like, you know, we got to get me

1098
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 5: the ball.

1099
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 3: Like, that's funny that it's funny that your brain told

1100
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 3: you to say bad because at the time it was bad.

1101
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 3: At the time, it was depending on where this season goes,

1102
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 3: talk about how big that that moment was, because that

1103
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 3: could be such a turning point for the entire season.

1104
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: But it's so funny you say bad because that's the

1105
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 3: way I would think of it in the moment when

1106
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 3: it happened, You're just like, that's not a good look

1107
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 3: to have him off to the Why are he normally

1108
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 3: is over there with all those guys? Why is he

1109
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 3: over there by himself? Like you can tell he's like frustrating.

1110
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 3: Really brought me back to like some of the times

1111
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 3: with Des Bryant when he was just real frustrate. But

1112
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 3: you just got used to seeing that from Desh, like, hey,

1113
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 3: he's just passionate, that's why.

1114
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 2: He goes about.

1115
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 3: But you don't really see that much from CD. And

1116
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 3: so that that is interesting that you would say bad

1117
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 3: at first, because I did think that too, But every

1118
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 3: week that's coming by, since I keep looking back on

1119
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 3: it and going, man, that might have been the best

1120
00:46:58,960 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 3: thing that happened to them.

1121
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 4: I get a credit McCarthy and with that whole deal

1122
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 4: as well, because he took that time to bring CD

1123
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 4: into his office and talk that out during the week after,

1124
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 4: and I think those conversations really spoke a lot more

1125
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 4: towards the rest of the season than even that moment

1126
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 4: in the locker room after San Francisco, but kind of

1127
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 4: had like a slightly similar moment after Buffalo where it

1128
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, I mean, this is just a moment

1129
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 4: where we couldn't get me the ball.

1130
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 5: We got to get me the ball.

1131
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 4: Those three games since quick math, thirty two receptions, four

1132
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 4: hundred and forty three yards and four touchdowns and three

1133
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 4: games like that's good.

1134
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 5: It's pretty that's up there.

1135
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 2: Pretty good.

1136
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 5: That's up there.

1137
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 4: So I think as long as CD is getting his

1138
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 4: I don't have any problems with this offense. And then again,

1139
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 4: I don't have any problems thinking these next two games

1140
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 4: don't work out.

1141
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: Markel from Houston asks us for our final question here

1142
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: on this talking Tuesday, what percentage would you give the

1143
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys to win it all from this very moment? And

1144
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 1: we've talked percentages all year long. By the way, Markel's

1145
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: said his birthdays in two days, so they're definitely fellow Capricorn. Yeah,

1146
00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: he said, they're definitely winning this game. Let's let's talk

1147
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: about it because percentages, I mean, four weeks left in

1148
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: the regular season gave the Cowboys a nine percent chance

1149
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 1: to win the division, and they ended up winning the division.

1150
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: So numbers don't matter a whole lot. And we're four

1151
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: weeks from the super Bowl, so chances of winning at

1152
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:15,479
Speaker 1: all what would you give.

1153
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 3: It fifteen to twenty percent. I would say, I think

1154
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 3: that there's a fifty percent chance that it's either the

1155
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 3: Niners or Ravens, and then I would put the Cowboys

1156
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 3: in with everyone else in that other fifty percent, you know,

1157
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 3: to break it down between them the Bills. You got

1158
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 3: to give a little chunk of that pie to the

1159
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 3: old Chiefs just because of what they've tblished in the past.

1160
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1161
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 3: Man, I'm looking at your computer right up. Man, I

1162
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 3: just can't believe how much the Eagles have fallen.

1163
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: It's it is bad because I was just thinking about

1164
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: that too. How many teams do I think can win it? Yeah, Baltimore,

1165
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: San fran done, They're no doubt they can totally win it.

1166
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: Buffalo Dallas absolutely. I think both of those teams are

1167
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 1: good enough to win it the city because of what

1168
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: they've done before. I know they've got their own problems

1169
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: as well, but you can't count out Patrick Mahomes the

1170
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: next one. I was like, okay, Philadelphia, Yeah, and then

1171
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: Miami if they turn it on, they were as good

1172
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: as anybody.

1173
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 2: They were in the same conversation.

1174
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 5: It reminds me of Yukon basketball last year.

1175
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 4: Where they just went through like a two week stretch

1176
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 4: in January where they were awful and well, this team

1177
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 4: you make the tournament, and then they were the best

1178
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 4: team in the tournament.

1179
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 5: Won ever get my double digits?

1180
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

1181
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 3: The only thing I keep going back to on the

1182
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 3: Eagles is just like the history of when you lose

1183
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, especially one where you had a chance

1184
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 3: to win, there usually isn't a rebound the next year.

1185
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 3: It's usually, I mean, it's usually much worse than the

1186
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 3: season that they've had. But there is something about the

1187
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 3: way that this season ended that I've thought about that

1188
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 3: a lot. And then also the whole like curse of

1189
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 3: you can't win the NFC East two years in a

1190
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 3: row like it is. It is just wild how that

1191
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 3: that collapses happened. I never would have saw that.

1192
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: I'd say, I'd say I'm right around with you in

1193
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: between fifteen and twenty percent, because I think there are

1194
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 1: six teams legitimately that can win it, and that would

1195
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: put you in about fifteen percent ish fifteen to twenty.

1196
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: So that's that's where I'm at right now. Then I

1197
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: would of course skew that a little bit in favor

1198
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: of maybe Baltimore or San Francisco because they have the rest,

1199
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: but Dallas has a shot.

1200
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 2: They absolutely have a shot, but.

1201
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 5: Yours, I'd say about to say fifteen to twenty.

1202
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 2: Fifteen twenty, you're like eighty five.

1203
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we'll revisit this next week. May maybe come

1204
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: back and see if the percentage is higher.

1205
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 4: I don't feel like it could be any higher until

1206
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 4: they play San Francisco. Like, you could ask me the

1207
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,479
Speaker 4: NFC Championship week and I would probably still say fifteen twenty.

1208
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 2: I'd probably be a little higher.

1209
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 4: I don't think so because like that, again, I expect

1210
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 4: them to win these two games. I expect them win

1211
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 4: the wildcard. I expect them to win the divisional game.

1212
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 4: I don't expect them to win an NFC Championship game.

1213
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 4: I don't expect them to beat the Ravens in a

1214
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 4: super Bowl. I don't expect them to compete with the

1215
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 4: Ravens in the super Bowl. To be completely honest, but

1216
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 4: that's Ravens. That's way down there.

1217
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, fell that they got there, Like like you saying

1218
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 3: on Sunday, they got play the Ravens to win in

1219
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 3: a wildcard round. I don't like that, But you tell

1220
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 3: me that they got to the Super Bowl and they

1221
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 3: went they're going to be right and so high that

1222
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 3: and again just the one game like elimination, I could.

1223
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 3: I don't think that.

1224
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1225
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 3: I think it would be a coin flip for me.

1226
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 3: If they get to Super.

1227
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 2: Bowl, it's a coin flip.

1228
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: There's a long way to go, long way, long way

1229
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: to go. And tomorrow we're gonna focus a little bit

1230
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: more in on the wild card round because the Cowboys

1231
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: have the Green Bay Packers, a team that they can't

1232
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: overlook in their own right. Uh, gotta be better against

1233
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: the run, gotta be better against Jordan Love. I mean,

1234
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on this week and we're gonna

1235
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: preview the Dallas defensive matchup tomorrow against that Green Bay offense.

1236
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: Isaiah should be back, unfortunately after his Washington Huskies couldn't

1237
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: get it done.

1238
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, he didn't call in this morning, didn't call in

1239
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 5: this water for him.

1240
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 2: All right, we'll be back tomorrow to.

1241
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 1: Preview Packers Cowboys defense versus offense when we come back

1242
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: at nine a m.

1243
