Speaker 1: latest news and our opinions on it. So do Brian,

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: because Brian has something going on with the like the

29
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: fan at World five, because it's not like he couldn't

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: make it, because Brian thrives on moments like that, like

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: it's like icy and all that. He was like, Oh,

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm coming, I'm gonna be here. I'll be the

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: first one there. Yeah, the only one there. It's not

34
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: like he couldn't make it because of weather. He hadn't

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, He's in radio all day long. Yeah. It's

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: interesting because I noticed on one on five Dot three

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: the fan. You know they do the camera where you

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: can see all the hosts talking and Brian's show I

39
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: saw this week Brian was the only one in the

40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: studio on camera. Everybody else was at their home. But

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: that's Brian. Brian is not He's like, yes, the worst

42
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: the conditions, Brian's like, I'm gonna figure out a way

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: to be there because yeah, exactly, So that's just that's

44
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: what he does. But yeah, I think he lost a

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: bet on air, and as a result of losing the bet,

46
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: he has to do every show all day to day.

47
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: So I think he got on this morning and he'll

48
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: be on until like nine o'clock tonight. So good luck Brian.

49
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: Have fun with that. That's a lot of talking. Yeah,

50
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: if anybody can do it, Brian can do it. Though,

51
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: So all right, let's let's jump in. There was a

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: lot of news that's happened throughout this week, so it's

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: a good time for us to do a show on

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: a Friday because there's so much we can talk about.

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: But I want to start, obviously with what I think

56
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: is the biggest piece of news, which was Cowboys mutually

57
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: agree with Kellen Moore to move on. And in the

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: meantime after that, Kellen Moore is already a new offensive

59
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: coordinator with the Los Angeles Chargers. Stephen talked about it

60
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: this week at the Senior Bowl, and you mentioned it.

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: There's still a part of it, it doesn't he He

62
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: was talking about that with regards to Mike McCarthy and

63
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: how that all works from the head coach to the

64
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. He says, there's still part of that. It

65
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: doesn't totally job with what McCarthy wants out of the offense.

66
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: What did you guys take from that? Well, I mean,

67
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: I think Stephen was just trying to point out that,

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, everybody, everybody still respects Kellen and all that,

69
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, you know, there's

70
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: there's just differences of opinion, and I it's one of

71
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: those things that when you hear it, it's not that

72
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: big a deal. When you put it out on you know,

73
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: in a quote, it looks like it. I mean, it's

74
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: no different than you and I worked together and we

75
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: have a difference of opinion on certain things. I mean,

76
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: not to the point yet that you're letting me go.

77
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: But but you know, but I'm not saying that they

78
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: let him go. No, I'm just saying, but people have

79
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: different No. No, I'm saying people have different opinions on stuff.

80
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: And so it was kind of like, yeah, like he

81
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: respects Kellen, but you know what didn't get said, And

82
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: this is what the way I'll take it is. I

83
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: think everyone thinks or knows that Mikey McCarthy's got to

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: keep winning here. You can't go backwards at all. He's

85
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: got to keep winning, make it break season, if that's

86
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: what you want to call it. Probably he's got to

87
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: go to the NFC Championship game. So he probably feels

88
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: that pressure and he's like, listen, this is the way

89
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: it is. Like I've done it for three years with Kellen,

90
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: but I think there's a different way to do it,

91
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: and I'd like to do it this way. Yeah, and

92
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: I think Kevin probably saw it too. Yeah, when you

93
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: initially said big surprise, I thought you were gonna say

94
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: dan Quinn because that was a huge surprise. But as

95
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: far as Kellen Morton, you know, I think he he

96
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: has a lot of talent, and I think he did

97
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: a really really good job while he was with the boys.

98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: To see his transition from being a backup quarterback to

99
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: then transition to becoming the backup the quarterbacks coach and

100
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: then quickly becoming the OC, that's pretty impressive. And to

101
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: see the amount of stats that he was able to

102
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: put up despite everything, despite Dak being out, despite all

103
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: the different challenges you're not having the right amount of talent,

104
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, he was able to do a lot

105
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: of things for you. But I do agree was probably time,

106
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: and we talked about it last week. Definitely time for

107
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: a different voice. It wasn't just working. It just wasn't

108
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: working out. And I think he's gonna do good things

109
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: over there with the Chargers, so I'm rooting for him,

110
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: not when we face them, but just in general. I

111
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: think it's time. I'm curious to see how it's gonna

112
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: work out, though, with Mike McCarthy calling the place now,

113
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: because now you ain't got nobody else to put the

114
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: blame on, that's all you. And we were talking about

115
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: it before the show, Derek a little bit this morning.

116
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: To me, it's just like, why didn't you take over

117
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: a little sooner? You know when you see it because

118
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: we go through every year and you know how much

119
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: the team changes. We were almost in the verage of

120
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: losing dan Quinn and him going somewhere else. You have

121
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: to you're gonna lose players. It's just the roster continued

122
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: like always changes and to me, last year, I mean

123
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: we were pretty close. Despite of how the season went,

124
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: it got pretty close. So in my eyes I'm just like, okay,

125
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: if you have trust, even though aside of you have

126
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: different opinions and philosophy and all that, but you're the

127
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: head coach. Like I would have liked him to maybe

128
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: take over a lot sooner if he felt very strongly

129
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: about some of the decisions are not the decisions that

130
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: were made well, I think, first of all, let's put

131
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: this in context. I don't think it's just talk when

132
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: they say this was a mutually agreed to decision. I

133
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: don't think this is a situation where it's just cowboys

134
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: are like, hey, Kellen, we really don't want you here

135
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: next year, so mutually we agree. Like, I think this

136
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: was a mutual decision, maybe as much Kellen as it

137
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: was the Cowboys. I don't know which way it fall.

138
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it was sixty forty one way or the other.

139
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: But the point is I think it was a mutual decision.

140
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: But I personally, and you're talking to you, and I

141
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: talked about this before the show. I don't think last

142
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: year would have been the right year for Mike to

143
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: make that kind of move. You were coming off a

144
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: twelve and five season, you were coming off a year

145
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: we had the top offense in the league. I think

146
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: if he makes that move, then I think the question

147
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: I would have had questions because my thought would have

148
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: been the Cowboys invested in Kellen Moore as a young

149
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator with very little experience, really no experience doing

150
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: the job at just the moment when this offense seems

151
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: like it's starting to take off. That doesn't mean it

152
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have its growing pains and it's still not quite perfect.

153
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: It's starting the show signs as being the top offense

154
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: in the league that he has, he's on the right track.

155
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 1: That would have been a little weird for me to say, Okay,

156
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: now that we've finally seen some return from this investment,

157
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: let's just rip it up. That wouldn't have been the

158
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: right time saying like mid season. I mean, it's not,

159
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: but I don't think that's the thing I don't like. Yes,

160
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like do that mid season for sure,

161
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: unless unless the wheels have fallen off, which at no

162
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: point this year did I feel like the offenses wheels

163
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: fell off. Unless the wheels have completely fallen off, I

164
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: just don't know that that's moved to make. I think

165
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: he had one game where he would say that it

166
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: was kind of wobbly because see Cooper. When when Dad

167
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: got hurt, then Cooper comes in and so it's like, well,

168
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: what's going on with the offense. I think everyone just thought, well,

169
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: it's because Dad's not in it. And then the one

170
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: game in Detroit they didn't really play well for a while.

171
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: That comes back and it's like, okay, what's going on?

172
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: And then it was the Bears game and then it

173
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: just went crazy. So like it was almost like if

174
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: they didn't play well against the Bears, I could see

175
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: or something. You know, now, now we got a problem

176
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: because Dad's been back two weeks and it's not getting fixed.

177
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: But it got fixed. They went to the buy. They

178
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: had a pretty good offensive showing in Green Bay, then Minnesota,

179
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: so it's coming. It was almost like when the injury

180
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: kind of almost put its pause on everything, like okay,

181
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: we can't evaluate anything because there's an injury. And then

182
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: Dad came back and had pretty good So I don't

183
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: know if it was the right time to do it,

184
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't think it's a this is

185
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: that big a deal. I just think it's like McCarthy's like,

186
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll call the plays, but we don't

187
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: know who the offensive coordinator is yet. There's a lot

188
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: of names. They've interviewed two guys, there's some, there's you know,

189
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer's also a guy that could be in the

190
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: mix here either way. I mean, if he's calling plays,

191
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter bring it to that's not really

192
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: it's just the structure of the offense. But I get

193
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: the sense, and I don't know if this is always

194
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: the case, but it's like everything is gonna be a

195
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: lot more connected, like everything, you know, like hit bones

196
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: connected to the kneebone type stuff, where it's like running backs, coach,

197
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: offensive line, receivers tighten. I mean, it's all going to

198
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: be a little bit more of a cohesive group. That's

199
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: at least the plan. We'll get to that in a second,

200
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: because I want to talk about some of the players,

201
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: some of the coaches that they that they didn't renew

202
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: and maybe what that means. We haven't had a show

203
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: in a while. Honestly, there's so many different things that

204
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: have happened this week. Before we move on, though, I

205
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: do want to ask you guys, are he at all

206
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: concerned about Mike McCarthy calling plays and still being able

207
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: to manage the responsibilities of a head coach, because we've

208
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: seen over the years there have been a number of

209
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: head coaches, really good head coaches who have a particular

210
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: discipline offense or defense that as time goes on, they're

211
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: originally I mean, they're eventually removed from the responsibility of

212
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: the offense or the defense so that they can really

213
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: be focused on managing the game. There have been questions

214
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: about Mike's decisions in games, fair or not throughout the

215
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: last several seasons. So that being said, are you at

216
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: all concerned about him now being calling the plays in

217
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: addition to trying to manage the game? You know, not really,

218
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna look at it from more of a

219
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: positive spin. Maybe it's maybe it's actually easier to call

220
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: a game when you're managing to manage the game when

221
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: you're calling it, because it's one thing to say, all right,

222
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of know what we're gonna do

223
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: when you get in field goal range. We're gonna try

224
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: to kick this field goal, So let's call play here.

225
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: But but and and you know, and Kellen's thinking, all right,

226
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get a first down. I'm trying to

227
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: do this and then, and you can't communicate everything in

228
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds, so you know, maybe it's almost easier what

229
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: you're doing here. I know, I want to I want

230
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: to get the ball. I want to kick a field

231
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: goal here. I want to run the ball to the

232
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: left side to get right in the middle of the field.

233
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: You know, of course, I don't know. I don't know

234
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: if that's a good spot for a field goal. I mean,

235
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. That's kind of a bad example.

236
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: But it comes to they can't make any kicks right now.

237
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: But but you know, I just maybe you can eat

238
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: call a game even better when you're managing it too.

239
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. I wouldn't know that. Yeah, you wouldn't.

240
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. No, I wouldn't know how. You've never been

241
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: on a sideline calling a game before. No, Now, in

242
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: the game that I did, I wasn't managing the game,

243
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, so five year olds are a little

244
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: easier though, right. That was it was kind of a

245
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: flag football game back in college. It was the quarterback.

246
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: Oh no, that wasn't that game. That wouldn't have been

247
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: coming that flag football. No, when rama was playing. Now,

248
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't managing anything there. I was just blocking. So

249
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: it was like it was like you were blocking like

250
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:33,479
Speaker 1: Zeke on the final play, or I just wondered why. Yeah,

251
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: that's funny, is yeah, yeah, everyone's like Jon Curse is

252
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: tweeting out like I got Tom Brady's last interception. You know,

253
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, is Zeke had the ball? Zeke

254
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: snapped the ball at center the last you know, that's

255
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: a trivia question. What was the last position Zeke played

256
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: for the gab Boys center? And he doesn't remember it

257
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: because he got hit really hard? Are you teaming up

258
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: the next segment as to what you think is going

259
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: to happen with Zeke? Oh, if that happens, okay, I

260
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: don't think he's coming back. I say that we'll get

261
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: to that well. I mean, I'm sure we have to

262
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: go to break pretty soon. But my answer is quick.

263
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: I do agree with Nike as far as like, I

264
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be a very difficult transcision, and I

265
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: think he'll be fine because he's still gonna They're still

266
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: gonna hire an LC to come in here and take

267
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: over some of the responsibilities, and so he's still gonna

268
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: have the help he needs around him. But I do

269
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: agree it's a lot easier when you don't have to

270
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: communicate with somebody else that quickly and you can just

271
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: make your own decision and you're the guy to call. Now,

272
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: what I like the most quote unquote is we would

273
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: know specifically who to point. I don't like finger pointing. Okay,

274
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying this, I'm not a fan of fingerpointing. But

275
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: even last year we were wondering, okay, how much input,

276
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: what's the percentage between the amount of voice and decision

277
00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: that is taken during the game between Kellen and Mike McCarthy.

278
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: We didn't know really the answer to that. And now

279
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: we will know for sure who's making these calls, and

280
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: you're going to specifically extend in front of Mike McCarthy

281
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: after a game and ask him specifically those questions and

282
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to hopefully give you some feedback

283
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: right then and there rather than I mean, they still

284
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: got a look at tape after the game, but it's

285
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: just it gives you a clear answer on who's doing what.

286
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: And we'll see he's done it in Green Bay. He

287
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: has the experience. We'll see if if the offense truly

288
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: changes because on the defensive side of the ball, you

289
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: got another head coach there on that side. So yeah,

290
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: I think I think all the way around this worked

291
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: out for everyone. This is one of the situations that

292
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: worked for everybody, because I do think the Cowboys quite frankly,

293
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't think Kellen did a bad job, but I

294
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: think sometimes I remember Bill Parcel's talking about how I

295
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: don't care who you are as a coach. At some

296
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: point whatever your thing is gonna run thin, and it's

297
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: going to be time for a new voice. And I

298
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: just think this is a good time for a new voice.

299
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: I also think Kellen landed in a perfect spot talk

300
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: about when to throw the ball. He's got a quarterback

301
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: that could sling it, and I expect their offense to

302
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: be that kind of offense next year. They don't have

303
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: a traditional running game, they have a running back who

304
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: is a great guy out in space that you can

305
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball too, So you think about it from

306
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: that standpoint, I think it's gonna be a great fit

307
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: for Kellen. So I think all the way around, everybody

308
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: comes out better and let's see how it all turns out.

309
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't think because Kellen has success there it necessarily

310
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: means he would have had success here in order, you know,

311
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: or vice versa. I think at the end of the day,

312
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: I think this was just the right timing for this

313
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: move to just do something a little different than see

314
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: if you can get a little more out of the offense.

315
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: Are we're gonna say our first break, we will come back.

316
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: We got to talk about Dan Quinn and some of

317
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: the other coaches who will not be back here next year,

318
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: some of them kind of surprising. We'll talk about that

321

Speaker 1: Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable.

322
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,800

324

Speaker 1: good news is Todd has AT and T five G.

325
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

326
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: best thing to do is stop running and toss her

Speaker 1: we're presented by Miller like the only Beer of the

362
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: blockchain dot com. Let's talk about Dan Quinn, defensive coordinator

363
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. He is returning. There was there was

364
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: lots of speculation that he would be leaving as a

365
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: head coach. He'd interviewed for a number of different head

366
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: coaching vacancies around the NFL. Then the news came out

367
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: that he informed those teams that he did not plan

368
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: to leave the Cowboys, planned to be here, wanted to

369
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: finish the work that he'd been doing here. How surprised

370
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: were you guys that he didn't end up taking a

371
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: head coaching job and decided to come back here and

372
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: remains the defensive coordinator. I didn't think it was gonna

373
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: happen again. I thought, you know, they got lucky last time.

374
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: Probably wasn't gonna happen this time. And you gotta remember,

375
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: dan Quinn came out and said that this offseason he

376
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: prepared for this. He prepared for his interviews, He prepared

377
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: for you know, what he would say in the event

378
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: that he was playing in a playoff game but also

379
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: interviewing at the same time. So it's not like he

380
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be a head coach. He does want

381
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: to be a head coach. He was preparing for it.

382
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: He's waiting for the right situation to come along. But

383
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: as it stands right now, this is still a good

384
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: spot for him. Um with with the Cowboys. You know,

385
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: you're you're you're coaching you know my I mean Michael

386
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: Parsons and you've got you've got a great you know,

387
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: you've just got a great set up here. I think

388
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: he's making um pretty good money, you know, maybe even

389
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: head coach money. So he's doing fine there and he's

390
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: waiting on it on the right spot. Yeah, I could

391
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: not believe the news when I saw it. I'm like

392
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: Jerry freaking Jones. He I mean, obviously a lot of

393
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: it came down to Dan Quinn's decision, obviously um, but

394
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: at the same time he has to be happy and

395
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: with the right people and Jerry Jones to make it happen.

396
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Last year, and like Nick said, salary we gotta remember,

397
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 1: is that still applying the whole were his contract or

398
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: money that he was making previously from Atlanta. I don't.

399
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, honestly, And if so, it's usually an

400
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: offset thing, so it's what what it was made. You

401
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: kind of pay the difference because I remember he was

402
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: still making money out of from that and while he

403
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: was still working here, So it's just like the salary.

404
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: Once you add everything up, it was still pretty good.

405
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: But my thought process when I saw that is that maybe,

406
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: just maybe because once again Jerry Jones has come out

407
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: and he has full support of Mike McCarthy and he

408
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: still has I believe, two years left in his contract,

409
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: but maybe that's a scenario. This is a scenario where

410
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: dan Quinn possibly realizes what could happen in the near

411
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: future and this could be a place where he could

412
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: become potentially a head coach later on, and he sees

413
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: the opportunity. He also see the amount of support. I

414
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: mean you look at Twitter and things like that, just

415
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: the amount of support that his own players give him.

416
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: He's a players is that what you call him? Players coach?

417
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: He's very, very tight. He's a great guy, not just

418
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: a football knowledge and what he's done as a DC,

419
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: but as a person, so humble and everything. You just

420
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: love the guy. So everyone is happy. Everybody's happy to

421
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: have him here. I'm freaking excited, especially because I'm not

422
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: sure kind of how they're gonna handle free agency, and

423
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: you look at what dun quinn has been able to

424
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: do during free agency with guys that are not like

425
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: top player, a lot of money, big splashes, and he's

426
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: still being able to take veteran guys and make a

427
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: name out of them again kind of refreshed their career here.

428
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: So I'm really really excited to have him back. Yeah.

429
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: I think this was a great move for Dallas obviously,

430
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: and maybe it was a situation too where it all

431
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: kind of worked out where you know, and I'm not

432
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: getting inside Dan's head, but you have to think about

433
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: all the things that are factors here. He might have

434
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: looked at all the positions that were available as head

435
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: coaches and none of them was a great situation as

436
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: far as maybe the things that he looks at that

437
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: he'd want to have in place to take a new job,

438
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: and he might be thinking next year might have a

439
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: better opportunity. Um. And so either way, however it goes,

440
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: whatever was involved in that decision, it worked out for

441
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. They get their defensive coordinator back, and hopefully

442
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: their defense continues to improve because it is, in my opinion,

443
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: one of the better defenses in the league. Yeah, I mean,

444
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: you've got, like like Amber said, I mean, the guys

445
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: like jay Ron Curse, Donovan Wilson, players that he kind

446
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: of had a good vision for that that it was like,

447
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: all right, let's let's you know, let me let me

448
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: put them in this scenario and and and let's make

449
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: them have you know, great, great seasons. I mean, and

450
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: then obviously we don't know what it looks like with

451
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons here without them. We don't really want to

452
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: know it, don't really have to know right now, so

453
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: I you know. But but I also think that was

454
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: a vision that was something like, hey, this guy rushes

455
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: the passer really well, um, we need it. We needed

456
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: some pass rush help here, so let's see about putting

457
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: him on the edge, and now he's an edge rusher.

458
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one other way that I think this

459
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: helps the Cowboys quite a bit. You have a lot

460
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: of players on this defense, and really on this team,

461
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: they got a lot of guys that got to figure

462
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: out contracts for for that are free agents. There some

463
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: notable defensive players that let's assume for a second, dan

464
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: Quinn does go somewhere else. Does he then take a

465
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: lot of some of those players that you may have

466
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: wanted to resign because you can't franchise everybody that you

467
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: may have wanted to resign, and then they want to

468
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: go and play for him because that's when they got

469
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: their best work. And I'm looking at people like Layton

470
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: Vanderesh where I'm like, does Layton say, Hey, I really

471
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: believe in this guy, So wherever he is, that's where

472
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: I want to be. If he's in Dallas, maybe I

473
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: want to stay in Dallas. If he goes somewhere else,

474
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: maybe I want to go there. That I think becomes

475
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: a bigger thing for Dallas. They don't have one guy

476
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: that already has relationships with some of these players, you're

477
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: going to try to resign that might be somewhere else.

478
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: You're right about that, and I'm curious to see how

479
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: that plays a factor. But this is also you know,

480
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: this is like the second contract. Players will say it.

481
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: They've they've been advised forever. They know the second contract.

482
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: It's your contract, it's your contract, this is it. This

483
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: is the window that you've got. So if you're Donovan Wilson,

484
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: if you're Layton Vanderesh, and I know a second contract

485
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: for him as a little different because he signed a

486
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: one year deal. But if he has a chance to

487
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: get a big deal, Leyton, Donovan Wilson, and there's there's

488
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: other players I'm trying to think, you know, Anthony Brown

489
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: is he's getting kind of a different boat too, because

490
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: this is be his third contract. But I just don't

491
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: see as much as Donovan Wilson probably would love to

492
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: come back and play with Dan Quinn, the money's got

493
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: to be pretty close. Yeah, But just to be clear,

494
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: I guess my point was if he goes somewhere else,

495
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: now he's the person in that building that has influence

496
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: that can say we should give a big contract to

497
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson and maybe that pulls him away from the

498
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys because maybe it's more money, maybe it's the same money,

499
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: but that he believes in Dan Quinn, that's really more

500
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: the key. And the Cowboys just can't sign everybody. There's

501
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: no way they can. They can sign everybody, and the

502
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: way that they do try to sign a lot of

503
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: people is you've got to you've got to give Dak

504
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: every structure you know. See, and I know we're kind

505
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: of getting off the beaten path on this, but like

506
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: they haven't paid the piper yet on Dak. No, he

507
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: counted like five and on the cap last year. The

508
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: year before that, his base salary was like a million.

509
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: He's averaging forty a year. So if he's only counting

510
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: one or two, what do you think? What do you

511
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: think's coming down the pipe here? So it's gonna be tough, um,

512
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: But the way to do it is probably to extend

513
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: him out. And you extend him out, you can you

514
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: can free up a lot, you can free up a

515
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: lot of money. But then again, you know, and he's

516
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: got to want to be, you know, be able to

517
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: do that, which I think he would. I don't know

518
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: why he wouldn't, um, So that's another thing that's interesting

519
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 1: to see kind of where he stands and what he's

520
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: thinking is and his agent, because look all it took

521
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: for them to come out with that deal, and he

522
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 1: was the one who wanted a shorter deal rather than

523
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: a longer one compared to the Cowboys. So I wonder

524
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: where he stands right now because I'm sure possibly he

525
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: would have thought he would be like at a different

526
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: level in his career at this point. Well, and something

527
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: that Stephen said this week from Mobile, he said that

528
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: when the season starts next year, there there's gonna be

529
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: thirteen and maybe fourteen quarterbacks that are making forty million

530
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: a year. So you know, we said this several times

531
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: on here, that yeah, Dak's making forty million a year.

532
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: It was number two at the time, and now it's

533
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: probably going to be a ride around thirteen or fourth league,

534
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 1: which is when you've when even even the people that

535
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: hate on Dak's game, if you said where does he

536
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: rank among top quarterbacks in the league. He's probably in

537
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: the top half. Some people want to say top ten,

538
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: top fifteen is pretty fair. I'm gonna have You're gonna

539
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: be heartreaspond. Somebody says he's under top fifteen. Yeah, yeah,

540
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, and he's played some some games this year

541
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: that didn't look like a top fifteen quarterback. He's played

542
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: a few games where he looked like top five. So

543
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: you had it all out, and that's probably where he is,

544
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: and that's where he's getting paid. But that's that's kind

545
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: of the way that it goes. I mean, you have

546
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: to make a decision. You know, you have to pay

547
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: him more than than you then you want to pay

548
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: these guys sometimes, but that is the market because you

549
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: don't want to start over every time on a quarterback.

550
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: That's exactly So to stay on the same topic, Steven

551
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: he made a calm and saying he would like to

552
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: have Dak here. He's going to be your guy. He'd

553
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: liked to have him for the next ten years. And

554
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: I think when fans see that on Twitter, you know,

555
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: there's an initial reaction of like those people that very

556
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: much dislike Dak and don't think he's the type of

557
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: quarterback that's gonna take you to a Super Bowl. What

558
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: exactly does an extension mean? Aside from the amount of money,

559
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: how long would this like extension be looking like, yeah,

560
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: it's you probably it's probably like a three three years

561
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: or so added onto it. I mean, it gets kind

562
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,239
Speaker 1: of tricky because then there's there's there's voidable years. I mean,

563
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: what do you have like a six year deal that

564
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: was voided down? So so maybe you put those years

565
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: back on the table. There's a lot of different ways

566
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: to do it. But basically, what you're doing is you're

567
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: just pushing money. You're just pushing money to the outside.

568
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: You're not taking a pay cut. You're just you're pushing

569
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: money to the to the end. And you know, I

570
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: think you got to be real clear on what Stephen said.

571
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: Hopefully we would we would love to have Dak here

572
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: for hopefully the next ten years. That that doesn't mean

573
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: ten years of him throwing two interceptions in a playoff

574
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: game or leading the league and interceptions, of course not.

575
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: It's hopefully it means that Dak, you know, has some

576
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: great years, keeps going. It's worth it. Hey, Dak's our

577
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: guy who's better. Well, nobody, let's keep it going, keep

578
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: it going. They would love for that. When Brady was thirty,

579
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots were like, I would love for him to

580
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: be here for the next ten years. Like okay, and

581
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: he was for twelve years. So but that's about the

582
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: only example of that. So hopefully means that Dak is

583
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: playing well enough where that is the best decision on

584
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: the table and does that well, that probably happen, Probably

585
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: not ten years. I mean, I don't see him be

586
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: any player playing forty is that's not the average is

587
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: not going to say that's going to happen. But I

588
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: will say this, and I think it needs to be said.

589
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: I think people forget what we saw this year from

590
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: Dak from the standpoint of interceptions. That's an aberration that

591
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: has not been Dak's career, that has not been something

592
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: he's been known for his career. So for me, I

593
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: look at it, I say, Okay, I'm willing to give

594
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: benefit of doubt that there were circumstances this year, whatever

595
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: they might have been, that led to him having such

596
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: high interception numbers that I'm not willing to make that

597
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: who he is at this point in his career. I

598
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: think it was just an aberration. It was a bad

599
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: year from the standpoint of turnovers. I expect that to

600
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: be better next year. I also expect that Dallas is

601
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: going to do some things to help him out, which,

602
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: by the way, we've talked about that before. Every team,

603
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: every quarterback needs help. If this is not a league

604
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: where you got quarterbacks that are just so good they

605
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: don't need help. Even the quarterback right now that's in

606
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl that people in arguably say is the

607
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: best one in the league, Patrick Mahomes, was there a

608
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: couple of years ago and they lost the Super Bowl

609
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: because this offensive line did him no favors. He was

610
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: pressured more than anybody in the Super Bowl era of

611
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: the NFL in a super Bowl game, and they lost,

612
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: and they lost badly. So everybody, every quarterback needs some help.

613
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: I think, particularly right now, what they need is they're

614
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to give him some more help on the outside.

615
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: But I'm I just think it's an aberration right now,

616
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: and I think don't think we should extrapolate that to

617
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: saying that it's more than just this season. Let's see

618
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: where it goes next year. If it's more of a

619
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: problem next year, now, maybe you have for something to

620
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: talk about, but right now it's just not that. Yeah,

621
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: we'll take our final break, we'll come back. We got

622
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about some of these other

623
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: coaches that won't be back, and maybe we'll get into

624
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: a little talk on Ezekiel Elliott as well. Do that

666
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: have some new things to talk to you guys about.

667
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: As this week happens, there will always be news around

668
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. So let's talk about some of these

669
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: other coaches who had contracts that were expiring and the

670
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys decided to allow them to expire. I'm gonna run

671
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: off the names for you, and then I'm gonna ask you, guys,

672
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: which of those coaches do you think it was most

673
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: surprising that Dallas didn't resign. You had assistant head coach

674
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: Rob Davis, quarterback po coach Doug nust Meyer, running back

675
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: coach Skip Pete, offensive line coach Joe Philbin second, or

676
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: the backup defensive line coach Leon Lett linebacker coach George Edwards,

677
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: Which do you think was most surprising? Philbin, to me

678
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: was the most surprising. But it's a close tie with

679
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: Skip Pete. But I would say Philbin because I thought

680
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line did a great job of adjusting all

681
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: year long. They were a pretty cohesive group when there

682
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of cohesiveness there. So I thought they

683
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: did a really good job. Was surprised by that, and

684
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: come to find out that Philbin was making a lot

685
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: of money. I mean, this contract was really high, like

686
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: almost three million dollars or something like that. For an

687
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 1: offensive well, that's pretty it's up there. But for coaches,

688
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean you, I mean, there's no salary cap, so

689
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: you pay for good ones. I thought he was a

690
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: good one. I was kind of surprised that they were

691
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 1: going a different route there. Well, not to take credit

692
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: away from the running backs, but for a lot of

693
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: that to happen, you got to give credit initially to

694
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: the old line. And I keep remembering all the times

695
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: that the old line, as soon as there was an injury,

696
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: it would just nothing would work. And that was a

697
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: huge thing and it was a huge problem for the Cowboys.

698
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: So for me to transition from that to now you

699
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 1: see so many different guys a different positions getting hurt,

700
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: and now you're having to shuffle guys around, make changes

701
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: on the spot, be prepared for what could happen. We

702
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: saw it in what game was that when McGovern had

703
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 1: to go in that center Tennessee. It was when Beatis

704
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: got hurt Tennessee. So yeah, yeah, Tennessee. And then you

705
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: saw those shuffling, which is not necessarily easy to do.

706
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: So to see that they have been capable of doing

707
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: something like that and be successful at it, are good

708
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: enough to just keep you going and get you through

709
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: the game. I thought it was a very impressive job

710
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: and something that I haven't seen another on line coach

711
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: do here for the Dallas Cowboys. So that was very

712
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: very surprising when I found out that they kind of didn't.

713
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: There was a lot of them though, I mean, I mean,

714
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: I think Philbin was the biggest one, but Pete, you

715
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: know that was that was a surprise that the running backs,

716
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: I think all had better years than they had the

717
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: year before, and that includes Zeke. I thought Zeke had

718
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: a better year and the backups, like, I mean, those guys,

719
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: it's all about developing young players and Philbin did it

720
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: obviously with the all O line with Beotist and Steele

721
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: and McGovern and tarn I mean Tyler Smith, let's not

722
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, what he did was amazing last year. Um

723
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: so that those are surprising. Mica Edwards, Mica Parsons loves

724
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: George Edwards and to let him go that was that

725
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: was kind of an odd move. I mean, your right

726
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: hand man is Rob Davis and Mike McCarthy and then

727
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: they let him go. I really think at the end

728
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: of the day, it comes down to the fact, and

729
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: Jerry said it on the radio last year. I don't

730
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: think he loved the fact. There's twenty nine, twenty nine

731
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 1: coaches on this team. Twenty nine coaches A lot of coaches.

732
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: Typically you have how many I mean, I would I

733
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what twenty proper position, maybe

734
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: a couple like backup type guys. But yeah, it's a lot.

735
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean to have twenty nine, you know, it's just

736
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: it's a it's a lot. And I think that that's

737
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: where and I'm not gonna say that, I mean trimming

738
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: the fat. It sounds bad because it sounds like they

739
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: weren't doing anything but I just think it was just

740
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: trimming it, trimming it down. Do you guys take anything

741
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: from the fact or this this could just be pure

742
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: coincidence and it was about the individual situations with each one.

743
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: But do you guys take anything from the fact that

744
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator, your quarterback coach, your running back coach,

745
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: your offensive line coach, like that's your offense basically, that

746
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: all those coaches will be different. Do you take a

747
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: bigger is there a bigger picture story do you think

748
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: here or do you think it was just simply with

749
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: each one of them there was a different reason why

750
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: they were no longer back. I think that's a good question,

751
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: and I think the answer is both. I think there's

752
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: probably a different, different thing for all of them, but

753
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: it's probably it all's gonna funnel up to Mic here.

754
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: And I think Mike's like, listen, you know, if I'm

755
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: going down here with the ship, I mean, this is it.

756
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: He's got. He's got to go to the NFC Championship Game.

757
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: I think if he doesn't do that, I don't think

758
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna get that contract extension that he's looking for.

759
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: And so he feels that and it's like I'm gonna. Okay,

760
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 1: some of these guys were hand picked for me. Something

761
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: of them I did bring in. But we're gonna, we're

762
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: gonna make some changes here, you know, And I don't

763
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: know what I don't. We look at Philbin, we look

764
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: at Pete, we look at these guys that go, Man,

765
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: these are good coaches, but behind closed doors, we don't

766
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: know exactly how they've meshed with with the coach and

767
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: how they fit in and and just what the overall

768
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:22,479
Speaker 1: philosophy is. There's a thought process about running backs coach

769
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: that that you and I could could coach running backs.

770
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: That's the kind of the thought generally, there's a generally yeah,

771
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: and look at look at how much they make. They're

772
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: I think they're the lowest paid position across the board

773
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's just and look at the franchise

774
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: tag for running backs. I mean it's ten point one.

775
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: That's the lowest one. And that's what I was saying

776
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: to say about Skip And nothing against Saim. I absolutely

777
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: love the guy and love what he's done and as

778
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 1: a person, but it's that mentality that Nick just mentioned,

779
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: not just with let's say coaching, but even the player themselves,

780
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: Like it's this thought that you can easily quickly replace

781
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: a running back with somebody younger, somebody fresher, draft a guy,

782
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: come in, plug at him and play. And it's one

783
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: of quote unquote easiest positions where you can just keep

784
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, their life spam in the NFL. It's not

785
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: as long as the rest of the other positions. But

786
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: quick question, and this might be dumb or not. I

787
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I've never really given thoughts to it, But

788
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: where does the money come from as far as like playing,

789
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: paying coaches salary? Jerry's pet? It's nothing, no, no type

790
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: of it's it's no different. It's no different. Honestly, it's

791
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: no different than what he pays any of us. Like

792
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: it's complete between us and a little different ry. Not

793
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: for you obviously, but for us amber for me. No, no,

794
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 1: But I think how much money the NFL is making

795
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: every year? Um No, But it's it's about that's a

796
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: former player of the Cowboys we're seeing on TV. But no,

797
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: it's it's about It's about nothing more than whatever the

798
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: owner and GM works out with those coaches. It's not

799
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: the league does not necessarily say there's this cat that

800
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 1: you can't go over and so then it just becomes

801
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: a function of your business. In your business, how much

802
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 1: do you want to pay for these particular roles that instance. Okay,

803
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: that makes it very interesting to me because one thing

804
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: we do know is if Jerry wants something, he's gonna

805
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: get it. If he wants to have if he loved

806
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: this guy, he's gonna make it work. So it's really

807
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: interesting to see because I feel like in our eyes,

808
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: these guys did a really good job as coaches, but

809
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: who knows what happens behind this door. We're not in

810
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: those meetings, we're not there. But the end result of

811
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: what at least they've shown the public eye has been

812
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: pretty good. So it is interesting to see what's happening

813
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: just on the offense overall what you say and all

814
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: these changes, I mean part of it, and obviously none

815
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: of us knows, but it could be a situation where

816
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: it literally it's just like, you know, you like what

817
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: you have. But at the end of the day, these

818
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine coaches haven't delivered a different result than say,

819
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: twenty right, and so it's like, okay, we tried it

820
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: the way of doing twenty nine coaches that ain't really

821
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: showing us different results. Maybe we ought to change up

822
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: our process. And I mean, we all know what the

823
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: definition of insanity is, right, do the same thing over

824
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: and over expecting different results. So I do think that

825
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: I do think that there is a possibility. Again, this

826
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 1: is all speculation, but there's a possibility at some point

827
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: that just from a business standpoint, you start saying, we've

828
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: had a lot of extra bodies and we haven't really

829
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: seen a difference in those extra bodies providing more in

830
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: the outcome, and so maybe we should trim that a

831
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: little bit, and maybe we should be a little more

832
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: thoughtful about who that one person is instead of the

833
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: two people you will have at that position, or the

834
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: three guys you have here. Can you do that with

835
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: one or two that are that are maybe more qualified

836
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: or better at handling as one or two? Right? Who knows?

837
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: But I just think from from a business standpoint, that's

838
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: how I would be thinking about it. If I running

839
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: a group and I'm trying to think about where I'm

840
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: going to spend my dollars, if I've been really, really

841
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: fat and i haven't seen a difference, at some point

842
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: you say is this worth it? Yeah? Well, and I

843
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: think there may not be a salary cap. There's not

844
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: a salary cap for coaches. There's probably something in Jerry's

845
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: mind of what the coaches should get and how much

846
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: we're paying. And if he's paying a defensive coordinator stuff.

847
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: You have a budget, as does every business, so is

848
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator is probably making a little bit more. So Yeah,

849
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: like all right, he's gonna more about this budget. Yeah

850
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: that's a head coach. Like we're good. And you know,

851
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: I honestly i'd never the role that that that Rob

852
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: Davis played for this team. I had never even heard

853
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: of until he got here. Um, the coaches that had

854
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: been here previous to that, I'd never really heard of

855
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: them having that kind of role. Now, maybe they had

856
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: somebody on their staff that did those kinds of things,

857
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: but I never really heard of someone who was dedicated

858
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: to that. They really didn't have a position group. They

859
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: were the assistant head coach. But it was more of it.

860
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: The way it was described to me by someone was

861
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: he was like your culture coach. He was more about

862
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: creating the right culture for your team, which in most

863
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: instances you would suspect that the head coach creates the

864
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: culture and he's the one that's engaging with guys on

865
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: a personal level and making sure that they feel the

866
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: right way about the culture of the team. It's just

867
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: it was a different way of doing it. Maybe they

868
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: decided at some point it just wasn't you know, a

869
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: lot of extra value. In college, you always hear about

870
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: these coaches they know everything. Yeah, you know, like even

871
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: though there may be an older guy, but they're like,

872
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 1: you don't think I hear things like I know what's

873
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, And it's because there are people that

874
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: report to them that are on the end. They're not

875
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: in the weight room, ye, I mean, like the head

876
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: coach isn't, but these other coaches are. They're down at

877
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: the meeting rooms. They kind of know what's going on.

878
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: They're talking to guys every day. Yeah, yeah, hey someone

879
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: so I was dealing with this at home, or you're

880
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: about to have a baby or whatever. You know, like

881
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: there's just people that kind of know what's going on.

882
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: And he was one of them. And there was a

883
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: lot more things probably that he did. But you know,

884
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: that was a tough one I think for McCarthy. But

885
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: you know that that let me know that Jerry was

886
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: probably making some of these moves here too. And don't

887
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: get me wrong, I a lot of these guys on

888
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: this list, in my opinion, have been some of the

889
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: when you just talk about good guys, some of the

890
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: best coaches that I've seen come through this building in

891
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: the years I've been here. I actually I think joy

892
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: spending time with Skip Pete. He was He's a good

893
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: man and always gave good perspective. Was willing to talk

894
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: to us about things that, you know, and give us

895
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: perspective that we may not have had otherwise. So and

896
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: I really appreciate guys like to miss that at training camp.

897
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah absolutely. I mean, if you could just deal with

898
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: the cigar smoke for a few hours, you just deal

899
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: with you know, He's sitting there just telling stories and

900
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: just talking about you know, he had a plan all year.

901
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: He had a plan. He was like, Zeke's gonna get

902
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: the ball less, he's gonna be better. Paulard is gonna

903
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: get the ball only a little bit more, but he

904
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: is going to be better. And I'm gonna get this

905
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: third guy, which he thought was Rico Daddle. It turned

906
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: out to beat Davis. But you know, but he had

907
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: a plan all along and it worked perfectly. It really

908
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: did work perfectly when you think about a guy that

909
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: didn't start that's in the Pro Bowl. Yeah, which is

910
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I asked that question about the

911
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: bigger picture is because you look at him, you look

912
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: at Philbin, you look at George Edwards, and you start

913
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: thinking man. In each of those cases, there are probably

914
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: guys you could throw out there that played at a

915
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: higher level than you thought was they were capable of

916
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: this year, which you would give at least some difference

917
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 1: to the coach. Yet they didn't have their contracts renewed,

918
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: and so it's just I think there are lots of

919
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: things that factor into those kinds of decisions, and for

920
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: whatever reason, the Cowboys side to move on and the

921
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: coaches are going to move on. So all right, we'll

922
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: be back next week. We'll get into that running back

923
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: conversation next week, because they're not going anywhere between now

924
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: and then. We'll talk about Zeke and Pollard, maybe even

925
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about dak that next week. Until then.

926
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: For Nick Eatman, Amber Garcia, I'm Derek Eielton. This has
