He talk? 118 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 8: He did? He talked about Ceedee Lamb. As far as 119 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 8: the injury goes kind only with you up to CD. 120 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 8: Obviously he's playing through a lot of things. He's injured 121 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 8: that that shoulder is not getting any better. No, obviously 122 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 8: with the more playtime, obviously he keeps getting hit the 123 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 8: way that he is. 124 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 6: Sorry, I spot you're fighting through it, just like, yeah, that's. 125 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 4: Interesting, need another one another? 126 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 5: I have one, you have one, it's already gone. You 127 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 5: take another one if you want. 128 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 6: Well, But that is a good point because if they 129 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 6: are going to leave it up to Cede Lamb, CD 130 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 6: is gonna play. I mean, that's just clearly he's proven 131 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 6: that already. 132 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 8: We were in the box whenever he landed on that shoulder, 133 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 8: and the announcers in the box basically said, you know, 134 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 8: Ceedee Lamb is questionable to return. 135 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: Not one play. 136 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 8: Later, after literally the next play a TV time out, 137 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 8: he's back in the in Uh, that's right. In the 138 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 8: play gets it down to the one yard line, almost touchdown, 139 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 8: shakes off a couple of people, chase off a couple 140 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 8: of people with an injured shoulder, puts us back in 141 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 8: the game. Granted we didn't see him much in the 142 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 8: second half, but amazing that he powered through that he's 143 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 8: still playing, and he's obviously going to play in Philly. 144 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no way to keep him out of Philly. 145 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 6: The only way that he's not on the field is 146 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 6: if the training staff deems it best for him not 147 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 6: to be on the field, because I know he said, 148 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 6: he said, we'll leave it up to Seedee Lamb, We'll 149 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 6: leave it up to his pain, discrepancy and tolerance. 150 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 5: But yeah, I think if he's able, he will be 151 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 5: on the field. 152 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 8: You're not taking him off the field, no way, I agree, 153 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 8: no way, No how he also alluded to. Jerry Jones 154 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 8: alluded well, he was asked the question, as far as 155 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 8: Mike McCarthy goes, do we think he's going to retain 156 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 8: him for next season? Jerry Jones was very close to 157 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 8: the vest on that one. He didn't necessarily answer the question. 158 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 8: He was talking about, Yeah, confidence in him now, you 159 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 8: know as we stand here and basically said, you know, 160 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 8: full stop, like talking about here and now, so not 161 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 8: necessarily looking towards the future. Sure, I'm sure he is, 162 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 8: but he's not telling anybody about it yet. And we've 163 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 8: talked about it many times here before. How do you 164 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 8: if we end up with a running record, or let's 165 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 8: say we end up eight to nine, you know, battling 166 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 8: through this season, how do you not give. 167 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: To Micha McCarthy. 168 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 8: That's a question that we will be talking about for 169 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 8: a long time to come, obviously when the season ends. 170 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 8: So that's where we're at. 171 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 4: How soon after the season ends, Dallas Cowboy season it is, 172 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 4: will can we expect a decision? 173 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 6: Usually it's within like three or four days, like it'd 174 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 6: be really quick. So that I mean, the final game 175 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 6: of the year is either the fourth or the fifth 176 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 6: of January of course, the NFL has that last week 177 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 6: as TBD, and then they slot them all in the 178 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 6: place at the end of the time. I would expect 179 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 6: something either that Monday or Tuesday the sixth, or the seventh. 180 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: I would assume Saturday, February eighth. 181 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 5: Do you think it's further than that after the super 182 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 5: Bowl or close to the. 183 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 8: Super Bowl, the day before the Super Bowl, the. 184 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 5: Day before the Super Bowl. 185 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 4: To hire a coach or to announcement, to make announce 186 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,679 Speaker 4: what he's doing. 187 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 6: Oh, I think it's gonna be way quicker than that. 188 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 6: Even I'm just going based off of Jason Garrett. Yeah, 189 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 6: same sort of deal. Contract ran out, they did not 190 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 6: renew him. You knew within the next two days after 191 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 6: the season was over. 192 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 8: So they don't wait on the coach very long. 193 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 6: Then then you go on the then you go on 194 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 6: the search and you start finding who your next coach 195 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 6: is or you extend them, and then all of a 196 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 6: sudden you've got that conversation moving forward too. So I 197 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 6: don't think it would take very long. I think it'd 198 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 6: be literally the day or two after the season comes. 199 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 4: To a close. 200 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 8: Husban, could you sign Micah That might be a little 201 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 8: further that would be for the further out league. I 202 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 8: mean new league year is March fifteenth, Okay, so sometime 203 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 8: I got to look at the dates for twenty five. 204 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 8: But the free agency and that sort of deal, I mean, 205 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 8: I think you can sign him at any point, but 206 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 8: I bet you it wouldn't happen until the league years changed. 207 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 4: Interesting a little about the coaching decision on all the teams, 208 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 4: because they have those all Star games, right, all those 209 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 4: all the college All Star games in the Senior Bowl, Yeah, 210 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 4: all the Senior Bowls and Shrine Bowl. You will want 211 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 4: your coach yep to be present there, correct, and you're 212 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 4: coaching staff, yes, yeah, from that. 213 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 5: Perspective a lot. 214 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 6: And that's that's why I think it will happen quick 215 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 6: because the Senior Bowl and the Shrine Bowl are the 216 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 6: final week of January. Final week, So that would give 217 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 6: you a month of either find a new head coach 218 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 6: and hire them or at least know who your new. 219 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 5: Head coach is going to be. 220 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 6: Uh, when you get to that point or Mike McCarthy's here, 221 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 6: nothing changes, So I think let's keep on rolling. Let's 222 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 6: go to Nebby and Silver Spring, Maryland. Nebby, what's going 223 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 6: on you're on talking Cowboys man. 224 00:09:53,920 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 3: Hi, guys, thank you so much for uh taking my call. Listen. 225 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 3: Uh uh. First of all, I want to say uh 226 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 3: that I I think so highly of Cooper uh BB 227 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 3: that I bought his jersey uh uh uh a few 228 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 3: weeks ago. Uh uh. But anyway, um I, I just 229 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 3: want to say that I I I I I. Even 230 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: though uhh we obviously won't be going to the playoffs 231 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: and therefore, of course uh will not win the Super 232 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 3: Bowl this year. Uh uh I, even even when that 233 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 3: is no longer a possibility, there's always something to uh 234 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: uh uh uh I'll play for because winning games uh 235 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 3: down the stretch, I can build momentum for next year. 236 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 3: So I'm hoping that we win these last two games, 237 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 3: I have a winning season uh I and go off 238 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 3: seasons strongly. And also before I go, I just want 239 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: to say that, with all due respect to Mike Zimmer 240 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 3: uh uh, I'm hoping that uhl Al Harris will be 241 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 3: our defensive coordinator next uh a year next season. I 242 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: take care, thanks for being patient with me, and have 243 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 3: a great week. Bye. 244 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 6: There we goes. Nevy Nev knows ball, of course always does. 245 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 6: Now I agree with him. On one take so far, 246 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 6: and I disagree with him on the other time. 247 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 5: I never do. Really, he knows and it's an opinion. 248 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 5: I get it. 249 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 6: I love Al Harris, I really do. But Mike Zimmer's 250 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 6: done enough to be your defensive. 251 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: Coordinator next year. 252 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 8: It's crazy how much the scripts flipped in regards to 253 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 8: Mike Zimmer. Oh yeah, how he's done this year with 254 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 8: the injuries at the defense specifically, it's crazy to see 255 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 8: him grow and now the players are obviously buying into it. 256 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 5: They're all bought in. 257 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 6: It's crazy talking to some of the guys after the game, 258 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 6: like you could see it like they it may not 259 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 6: have been there initially, and there might have been a 260 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 6: learning curve maybe a lot longer, and you could certainly 261 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 6: give him criticism for how long it took for these. 262 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 5: Guys to pick that up. That's fair. 263 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 6: But the way that they're playing now gives me kind 264 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 6: of like the first point where I agree with Nabby. 265 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 5: I want to win these last two games. 266 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 6: I want to build momentum going into twenty twenty five, 267 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 6: because if you win these last two games and you're 268 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 6: at nine to eight, you could be considered one of 269 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 6: the best, if not the best defense in football in 270 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 6: the back half of the season. There's a lot you 271 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 6: can go build off of from there, including. 272 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 5: With your defensive coordinator. M you don't want to win 273 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 5: the last two games. 274 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 4: No, you definitely want to win the last two games. 275 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 4: It's just not convinced. Holy Holy you know that that 276 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 4: I'm ready to rock with Zimmer yet, And I don't 277 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 4: know what it would really take to build. 278 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 5: What is holding you back? 279 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 4: What I saw early? Same system? You know, I don't 280 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: know if it was guys not executing or I mean, 281 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 4: I don't know what. You have to go back and 282 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 4: look at it. I would have to go back. 283 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 5: And talking to the guys. That's what they say. 284 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 6: They say it's it was a lack of execution, not 285 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 6: necessarily a lack of scheme or preparation. 286 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 8: Like you said about chun Zy Golsten when you guys 287 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 8: interviewed him for pregame live on dolls cobys dot com. Uh, 288 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 8: he was talking about early in the season where when 289 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 8: they would make a mistake, It's like, Okay, what would 290 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 8: dan Quinn have us do basically in this situation versus 291 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 8: buying into the new scheme that they're they What. 292 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: Would Zimmer do. 293 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 8: What would Zimmer do? 294 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, it's a. 295 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 5: Little bit different. 296 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 4: WWZD what do uh? I yeah, it's I mean, it's 297 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 4: obviously he has done a good enough job to at 298 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 4: least raise the question. Right before, it was not a question. 299 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 4: Absolutely before it was like, oh, ces next. Now you 300 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 4: at least have to go back and look at his 301 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 4: body of work, and I think he's They have done 302 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 4: amazing these last four games whatever, it's been five games 303 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 4: since Mike has come back. But again, you have to 304 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 4: look at it and say, okay, is that because MIC's 305 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 4: back and everybody else is able to do what they do? 306 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 4: What if Micah is you know, low and behold, you know, 307 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 4: God forbid and Mike is hurt? Do you get the 308 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 4: same productivity out of this entire defense? 309 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 5: Probably? 310 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 4: Not right, so not good, but you know what I'm saying. 311 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 6: But you can say the same thing about any other 312 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 6: defense that has a high end talent. If the Cleveland 313 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 6: Browns defense without Miles Garrett is completely different, the San 314 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 6: Francisco defense without Nick Bosa is completely different, the Chargers 315 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 6: defense without Khalil or. 316 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 4: Difference, Like there's like it's not even close. But so 317 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 4: I'm saying, like, how much weight are you putting on 318 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 4: that one individual a. 319 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 5: Lot because he's one of the best, if not the 320 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 5: best kids. I mean, you're still second in defensive understanding. 321 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 4: With the understanding that players get injured and things happen, 322 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 4: contracts happen, players leave, you have to still have a 323 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 4: system in place that is effective enough to give you 324 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 4: give you an opportunity to win ball games. And that 325 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 4: system was not it was. 326 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: In place, it was not early. 327 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 4: Is That's what I'm saying. Because of that, you have 328 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 4: to you can't just say, yeah, things are running hot 329 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 4: right now. You gotta roll with it, like you have 330 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 4: to now go back and look at us and what 331 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 4: was different? Was it execution? Was it just that we 332 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 4: were just getting tostedos? Right? You have to go and 333 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 4: really look at it and say, okay, what was the 334 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 4: major difference When you can't, I don't believe that you 335 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 4: can feel secure enough with somebody making that decision by saying, oh, yeah, 336 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 4: once he's in place, we're good, because that's not the system. 337 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 6: That is. 338 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 4: That is one person impacting way too much of the. 339 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 8: Game and they kind of pick it back of what 340 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 8: you're saying. If if that happens, you bring Mike zimmern 341 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 8: back and you lose Al Harris, I think you're gonna 342 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 8: get that either way. I think you are going to 343 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 8: get a step back in play because the secondary has been, 344 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 8: at least for me, consistent all the way through the year. 345 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: Sure, and. 346 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 6: I can't foresee them, so I would love to have 347 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 6: Superman and Batman on my team. If it's only Batman, 348 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 6: and then there's only so much you can do about it, 349 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 6: you know. Yeah, I agree. I think Al Harris leaving 350 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 6: would be a step back. But I'm not going to 351 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 6: take away any credit from what Mike zimmer has done. 352 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 6: Because you're talking about self scouting and going inward and 353 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 6: changing some of the problems that happened earlier in the year, 354 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 6: and how that's needed. 355 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 5: I think they've already done. 356 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 6: That, because yes, Micah returns and that adds a huge 357 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 6: element to this defense. Jordan Lewis said it on Sunday 358 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 6: after the game. He said, well, yeah, you know, we've 359 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 6: been pretty good since Micah got back. I don't know 360 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 6: if that was the whole game plan, but he is 361 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 6: a monster. You can't He's been an incredible football. 362 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 4: I'm not disagreeing with them, but when I look at 363 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 4: somebody's system. I believe that the system has to be 364 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 4: effective regardless if your number one star player is in 365 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 4: there or not. As we're talking about the quarterback position, 366 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 4: which is a major right, So that's what I'm talking about, 367 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 4: especially when we talk about defense. Right, defense, it is 368 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 4: a holistic thing. You're not relying on one person to 369 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 4: be just your impact guy. You need multiple guys doing 370 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 4: their thing. Now, he's had to battle through talking about Zimmer, 371 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 4: that is, he's had to deal with a tremendous amount 372 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 4: of injuries and that's unfortunate. But again, this defense before Micah, 373 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 4: defense after Micah, two completely different defenses. Yeah, that is 374 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 4: the system sound enough to work regardless of if Mike 375 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 4: is there or not. He's asked Mike question. 376 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 6: He's the only all pro on that defense that has 377 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 6: had that big of an impact when he wasn't around. 378 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 5: I mean, you just won a game without Trayvon Diggs. 379 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 6: You've won multiple games without DeMarcus Lawrence, You've won multiple 380 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 6: games now without Demarvin Overshown. 381 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 5: I mean, you have these guys that are all stepping up. 382 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 6: Mike is the only one that you can circle and say, yeah, 383 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 6: when he wasn't there, they weren't very good, but they 384 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 6: also were playing the meat of their schedule and some 385 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 6: of the top teams in the NFL. 386 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 8: And it's not like the run defense didn't bounce back 387 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 8: in MICHAEH. Parsons's absence. You saw a definite improvement while 388 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 8: he was out. Granted there was no path rush to 389 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 8: be heard of, it's there, but you did see the 390 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 8: run defense improve, which is obviously players but also coaching 391 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 8: as well. 392 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, let's sneak in a call before our 393 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 6: first break, AB in Redondo Beach, California. 394 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, what's going on? AB? You're on talking Cowboys? 395 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 11: I'm good. 396 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 12: How you doing? Merry Christmas? 397 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 5: Christmas, my friend, how are you? 398 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 12: I'm doing well. I'm kind of conflicted though, because on 399 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 12: one hand, I'm happy that the Cowboys are winning, but 400 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 12: on the other hand, I hope it's not gonna save 401 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 12: McCarthy as far as coach. Oh, I'm just I'm not 402 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 12: sold on him winning. I mean, his offense and stuff. 403 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 12: Long term, I'm not sold on it. And you know, 404 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 12: I get that everybody's playing hard, but you have to ask, 405 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 12: you know, are they playing hard because they're trying to 406 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 12: get another paycheck or are they really playing hard just 407 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 12: for him? I mean, I guess it's a combination of both. 408 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 12: And then, you know, the thing that I don't think 409 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 12: anybody thinks about is how many super Bowl co which 410 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 12: is of one with the second team. 411 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 5: I believe only one or two. 412 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 12: I think it's very few, exactly. Yeah, And we tried 413 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 12: it with ourselves, we try it with him, and it 414 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 12: has worked out. You know, I think they need to 415 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 12: go something fresh, something new, something more innovative than what 416 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 12: he's bringing out right now. 417 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 5: I appreciate the call. You are not wrong in your opinion. 418 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 5: You can't be wrong in your opinion. 419 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 6: Uh. And you're also not alone there. Either there's a 420 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 6: lot of Cowboys fans that are split because of this, 421 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 6: or I think we're starting to see more of a 422 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 6: fifty to fifty split. I don't know if it's there yet, but. 423 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 5: Five weeks ago it was not very fifty to fifty. 424 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 8: No, So what was going to happen with the coach 425 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 8: moving forward? Very clarified weeks ago? 426 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, what were you gonna have there? 427 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 7: Not so much. 428 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 4: I just I think people have been spoiled. I truly 429 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 4: think people have been spoiled by twelve in seasons. That's 430 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 4: just the truth. 431 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: You got three of them in a row. That's just 432 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: a lot of winning. 433 00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 4: People are spoiled by twelve wins and people feel they 434 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 4: feel as if you're supposed to just show up and 435 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 4: that happens. Now, you just show up and we win 436 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 4: twelve games. That's how That's not how the work Listen 437 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 4: League works. And this year obviously is an anomaly because 438 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 4: of injuries, and you still might be nine to eight, 439 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 4: you know, by the end of the year. And if 440 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 4: you go nine and eight with this year, it's absolutely insane. 441 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 4: But the fact that McCarthy, what he's done over his 442 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 4: stint here is it's not given enough respect at all, 443 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 4: No at all, because everybody wants change, but everybody's not 444 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 4: willing to run the risk that change brings. 445 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: And change takes a long time. 446 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 4: Change takes a long time. Change takes personnel changes, change 447 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 4: takes scheme changes, change takes the the empathy and the 448 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 4: willingness to allow for a losing seasons while they figure 449 00:21:54,840 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 4: things seas seasons. Yes, okay, so everybody wants change until 450 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 4: change happens and you have to go through the mess 451 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 4: to come out. Yeah, the grand pace, so be careful, 452 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 4: be careful what you wish for people. I understand your 453 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 4: your sentiments, I respect your sentiments, but you don't just 454 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 4: wake up and win twelve games. Look around the league, 455 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 4: lick around the league, and you will understand that if 456 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 4: you're going to go another direction with the coach, understand this. 457 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 4: You're either going to get a coach who has failed 458 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 4: somewhere else, or you're going to get a brand new 459 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 4: coach who's never done it before. 460 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 6: Yes, and I would like to add on the second 461 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 6: side of that, the second side if you and I 462 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 6: wish I would have asked ab who his replacement would be? 463 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 6: Who would you hire in that case, because of course 464 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 6: we can't say names up here as well. But when 465 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 6: when you're looking at it and you're saying, oh, the 466 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 6: new guy that's out there, all these names that have 467 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 6: been thrown out there in terms of replacements, when's the 468 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 6: last time the Cowboy or not the Cowboys, But a 469 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 6: team has won a Super Bowl with a head coach that's. 470 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 5: New, probably Sean McVay. 471 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: And that's it. 472 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 5: I mean, look at this different. You've got Andy Reid. 473 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 8: We're talking about Kyle Shannonday, exact same things. 474 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 6: It still hasn't won one. Here are the super Bowl 475 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 6: winning head coaches. I'm just going to start reading, and 476 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 6: you're going to see a trend here. Andy Reid, of course, 477 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 6: he's won a couple of them. Sean McVay, we just 478 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 6: mentioned him, Bruce Arians, Bill Belichick, Doug Peterson, Gary Kubiak, 479 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 6: Pete Carroll, John Harball, Tom Coughlin. 480 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 5: Harball would be considered a new coach back in that time. 481 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 6: That was back in twenty thirteen, Tom Coughlin, Mike McCarthy 482 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 6: was a new coach back in twenty ten, twenty eleven. 483 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 6: He was still in his fifth year with that organization 484 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 6: at that time. Sean Palin or Sean Payton, Mike Tomlin, 485 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 6: Tom Coughlin, Tony Dungee, Bill Cower. 486 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 5: You get the point. You get the point.

They decided to go zone against a 599 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 6: team that does nothing but run the ball effectively and 600 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 6: then throw the ball over the middle of the field 601 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 6: with Jordan Love. No, that was a stupid game plan, 602 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 6: and that's what happened in Green Bay. I don't I 603 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 6: don't put all that on my mara. I put a 604 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 6: lot of that on the role in the beginning. 605 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 5: It wasn't good either. 606 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 6: I'm not putting it all on McCart I'm putting a 607 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 6: lot of it on dan Quinn too.

Yes, what did the Dallas 661 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 6: Cowboys do last year? Yes, I know they laid an egg, 662 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 6: but they had all of those things working in favor 663 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 6: going into the playoffs. 664 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 5: You don't just stumble upon that. And that's kind of 665 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 5: my point there is you don't just. 666 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 4: I'm telling people are spoilt. You can't people like that. 667 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 4: But you're spoiled. You're spoiled. You're spoiled. That's okay, now word, 668 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 4: it just means you just ow it. You're spoiled. You 669 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 4: used to you're used to coach McCarthy winning you twelve 670 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 4: games a year, and you're talking about like, oh, that's 671 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 4: just gonna happen. We're gonna be in the play Yeah, 672 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 4: it's a given. It's not how this game works. 673 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 6: If this team was healthy going into the playoffs and 674 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 6: had a chance to do something special and then laid 675 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 6: an egg again. Then we can have the conversation because 676 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 6: you're one and four in the playoffs and it just 677 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 6: hasn't worked out. However, this isn't a normal season. You 678 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 6: weren't given, like you said, the cards that were dealt 679 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,959 Speaker 6: with differently. And I know a lot of people are 680 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 6: probably already tuning us out because they're like, oh, they're 681 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 6: just offending Mike McCarthy. They're on the Cowboys away. This 682 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 6: is what football is, and that's just plain and simple 683 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 6: what it is. We've been very critical of Mike McCarthy 684 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 6: in the past, sometimes to a fault. 685 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 4: We've we've had our own individual conversation. Man, everybody can 686 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 4: get it. Okay, well keep it one hundred were analyst. 687 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 5: This is this is not one of those situations. 688 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 6: Let's go to tyrone in Pennsylvania, tyrone on the line 689 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 6: in enemy country. 690 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 7: What's going on, gentlemen, Marry Christmas. 691 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: Mary, Christmas Iron. 692 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 4: That's right, that's right, Eric, Yeah. 693 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, Hey, that's everything. I'm thirty eight years old, and 694 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 7: anyone that's my age group are a little older. They 695 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 7: sing that song the minute they hear me. 696 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not I'm not going to sing that song 697 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 4: to you, but I will acknowledge it. 698 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 7: So I'm going to actually piggyback off of what y'all 699 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 7: just were talking about with Mike McCarthy. So Neil I 700 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 7: think his name is Neil O'donnald Vikings head coach. That's 701 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 7: a new coach. Nick Sirianni, that's a new head coach. 702 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 7: Dan Campbell that's the new head coach. Sure right, So 703 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 7: all three of those coaches were coordinators that the team 704 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 7: hired and moved on from, you know, other coaches that 705 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 7: weren't getting it done. 706 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 5: Yeah. 707 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 7: My take with Mike McCarthy is he's Tony Dungee. He's 708 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 7: the two thousand Tony Dungee. So he has an amazing 709 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 7: one side of the ball that's going to be our offense. 710 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 7: Tony Duneys was the defense, and for whatever reason, as 711 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 7: great as Tony Dungee was and he eventually won a 712 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 7: Super Bowl, he could not get that Buck team over 713 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 7: the hump. And it took them going outside and say 714 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 7: what you want about the man. We're not going to 715 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 7: talk about the man, but the coach, John Ruden was 716 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 7: able to fix the other side of the ball that 717 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 7: prevented them from getting over the hump and eventually got 718 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 7: you know, well not eventually got them the super Bowl 719 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 7: that they were looking for. So that's my take on 720 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy. I think as we may be spoiled with 721 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 7: ten win seasons, but ten win we need now, we 722 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 7: need the next step, right like that. That's what it 723 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 7: is the Cowboys over the last twenty five years. Go 724 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 7: look at the records. This isn't new. The Cowboys have 725 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 7: been one of the most winningest teams sure over the 726 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 7: last twenty five years. And Mike McCarthy is the best 727 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 7: head coach we've had since Jimmy Johnson. I will put 728 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy over Bill Parselves, I really will. 729 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 5: He's had more success, Yeah. 730 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 7: He's had more success, longevity, everything, but he's just not 731 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,720 Speaker 7: getting it done in the issue for me has always 732 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 7: been his unwillingness to ad just sooner. That has been 733 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 7: my biggest gripe. You have a thousand yard back fa 734 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 7: ric odawbeles he's probably gonna hit a thousand yards, which 735 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 7: that's not that big of a deal with seventeen games, 736 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 7: but he's gonna hit a thousand yards. Probably he probably 737 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 7: would have hit twelve thirteen if they would have ran 738 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 7: the ball earlier. But this whole game plan with Cooper Rush, 739 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 7: why can't we do this game plan with Dak Prescott. 740 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 5: I've got and we do that. 741 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,959 Speaker 6: I've got two follow up questions for you. You named 742 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 6: the Lions, the Eagles, and the Vikings head coaches. I mean, 743 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 6: I know, and you can, yeah, throw the Commanders in 744 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 6: there too. 745 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 5: How many how many of those coaches do you feel 746 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 5: like would be available for the Cowboys to go and 747 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 5: plug this year? 748 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,240 Speaker 7: I would actually look at either Robert Sala or Mike Rabel. 749 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 6: Okay, so two guys that have failed in different spots, 750 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 6: one in the Tennessee Titans and one at the New 751 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 6: York Jets. 752 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 7: Right, Well, I wouldn't call Mike Graybolt failing because he 753 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 7: took Ryan Tannehill to an AFC title game. 754 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 6: Fair. 755 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 7: I would not say that the sale because for me, 756 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 7: that would be a successful someone that got a Super Bowl. 757 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 7: I'm just looking for someone who has taken the next 758 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 7: step more recently than Mike McCarthy and Ryan Tannehill to me, 759 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 7: taking Ryan Tannehill on the Titan to an ANFC title 760 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 7: game where we haven't snipped the NFC Title game, and 761 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 7: you know, I was like eight years old that that 762 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 7: that's a big deal for me, right, Like, that's something 763 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 7: that I would like to see, you know, before I'm forty, and. 764 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 6: I'm I'm glad that you're you're bringing that up, because 765 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 6: you're right, you're not looking at coaches that have Super 766 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 6: Bowls because all six coaches that you named don't have 767 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 6: a Super Bowl currently. But I do want to ask 768 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 6: you this. You said you brought up Tony Dungee and 769 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 6: the transition to John Gruden. I get that as a comparison. 770 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 6: I actually liked that comparison a lot. Tony Dungee was 771 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 6: a great head coach in his own right, so was 772 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 6: John Gruden. However, do you feel like when you look 773 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 6: at this roster right now, do you feel like this 774 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 6: roster is good enough in order to take the next 775 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,320 Speaker 6: step moving forward? Because a lot of the gripe this 776 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 6: year has been this roster is not good enough. They 777 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 6: did not do enough in the offseason, they did not 778 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 6: do enough here. The cap space is garbage at this point, 779 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 6: and you're going to have some more cap space garbage 780 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 6: to deal with in twenty twenty five. Do you feel 781 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 6: like a coach, one guy, one leader that can come 782 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 6: in out of the street and immediately fix what's going 783 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 6: on with this Cowboys organization is out there and available 784 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 6: right now, because I don't see my point. 785 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 7: My thing is with that is I think this is 786 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 7: every king deals with that cap space issue, every single 787 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 7: team deals with it. If you have top end talent 788 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 7: at different times, yes, so you're gonna deal with that. 789 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 7: But what the good coaches do. They squeeze as much 790 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 7: juice out of that lemon as they can. 791 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 6: Like winning four games in five game if five games 792 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,240 Speaker 6: with Cooper Rush at quarterback, Oh hey. 793 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 7: He again, what he has done over this five game 794 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 7: span has been impressive. I will give him that. However, 795 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 7: it's just I can't forget what has happened leading up 796 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 7: to it. I can't forget that. 797 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 5: I just I'm just we're just playing devil's advocations. 798 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 7: That's what I am. 799 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 9: Now. 800 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 4: I respect your opinion, I respect your inside. I'm just 801 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 4: are you forgetting about the three twelve one seasons? 802 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 7: No, not at all. 803 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 4: Are you taking Are you taking those for granted? 804 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 7: No, I'm not taking them for granted. But at the 805 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 7: same time, the you know, Jason Garrett had a couple 806 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 7: of those Waite Phillips had, you. 807 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 5: Know, but none of it. 808 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 4: But none of them had a winning percentage like coach McCarthy. No, no, 809 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 4: no matter what name you bring up, unless you go 810 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 4: all the way back to to Swisser, nobody's gonna have 811 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 4: a better regular season winning record than coach McCarthy. And 812 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 4: without a regular season record like that, you don't get 813 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 4: to the playoffs. 814 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 7: At the same time, though, don't we want to get 815 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 7: past that that that wall. 816 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but you have to get there. So I'm saying, 817 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 4: are we taking are we taking the getting their portion 818 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 4: for granted? 819 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,879 Speaker 7: No, no, but sometimes you you know, sometimes you can't 820 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 7: be scared of change. You know, what it sounds like 821 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 7: is complacency. To me, that's what it sounds like. It's like, oh, 822 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 7: this is the first step. Cool, the first step is there? 823 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,320 Speaker 7: I think we have we have the talent to always 824 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 7: do that. We always have the talent to win nine, 825 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 7: ten to eleven games minimum. I always see that people 826 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 7: want to play in Dallas, they draft well. Will McClay 827 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 7: is probably, in my opinion, the best non. 828 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 5: GM in in you know, the I'll agree with you there, Yeah, 829 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 5: And we. 830 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 7: Will always draft well and we will always find little 831 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 7: diamonds and gems in the rough. You know, that will 832 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 7: that will be able to pay little but get top 833 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 7: end productions or not top end, but you know like 834 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 7: that production. 835 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 4: I respect that opinion. But the game's changed. From a 836 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 4: player standpoint, the game has changed. Cats are not going 837 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 4: to places because of what's on the helmet anymore. Cats 838 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 4: are going to places because I got to get my money. 839 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 4: Right now, I'm just telling you from the player's perspective, 840 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 4: it has changed. You bring up Will McLay. Will McLay 841 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 4: is not a sure thing to be back here next year. 842 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 4: That's another thing. That's another conversation that has to be 843 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 4: had going into this offseason. Right, there's things that have 844 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 4: changed in that regard. So you can't rest your head 845 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 4: on this. Yeah, we're gonna draft, Well, that's not a 846 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 4: sure thing going forward. Well, and then you talk about 847 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 4: the cap space. You don't have top three players at 848 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 4: three different positions in every team in the league, right, 849 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 4: You don't have that, So that's not a fair comparison either. 850 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 4: So these are all things that you have to take 851 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 4: into consideration. And are you, as a fan, willing if 852 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 4: you know, if you feel comfortable and confident. And we've 853 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 4: been spoiled, from Mike McCarthy's standpoint for the last three 854 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 4: years to get twelve wins seasons, and this year you 855 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,760 Speaker 4: might even still find a way to get a winning season. 856 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 4: Are you willing to take one, two, maybe three years 857 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 4: of losing for another coach to come in here and 858 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 4: establish his system. 859 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, That's where I'm at with it, Tyrone.

Would you rather have a 879 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 4: coach that you just want him to focus have to 880 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 4: work on one aspect of his coaching, which is getting 881 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 4: through the playoffs, or would you rather get another coach 882 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 4: that has to worry about getting to the playoffs and 883 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 4: then getting through the playoffs as well.

Yeah, So, on the Mike McCarthy contract, 976 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 19: I called last week, I said, you know, two years, 977 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 19: and I think like you got to keep them on 978 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 19: a short least, maybe get a different play caller in there. 979 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 19: But at the consistency of twelve and five straight seasons, 980 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 19: you can't just let that go and go unnoticed. The 981 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 19: playoffs are what the playoffs are, right man. Playoffs are 982 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 19: a different game, as Isaiah will probably say. But I 983 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 19: do have a question for Isaiah more than anybody, I think, 984 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 19: looking at McCarthy, it's been almost like the culture has 985 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 19: been the culture of winning the last three seasons, and 986 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,280 Speaker 19: I kind of wonder is that actually a culture because 987 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 19: you look around the league at some of these other 988 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 19: teams like Detroit, that's more of a culture of like 989 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 19: grit and fighting. But is winning itself a culture? And 990 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 19: that's kind of what I wanted to ask, is more 991 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 19: than anybody, But thanks, guys, have a great day, Merry Christmas. 992 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 4: Thanks. Now that's a really good question. And yes, winning 993 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,319 Speaker 4: is a culture. It's an expectation of It is an 994 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 4: expectation of a certain level of excellence. 995 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 3: Right. 996 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 4: So certain things are not tolerated, and you can say 997 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 4: those things aren't tolerated in most places. But here in 998 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 4: Dallas you've you've always seen that they've found a way 999 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 4: to win ball games or at least always competitive in 1000 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 4: a position to win ball games. You can't say that 1001 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 4: about every organization. And when you come into certain programs, right, 1002 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 4: there's an understanding of how to go about your business 1003 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 4: there just is when I when I was here in Dallas, 1004 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 4: there is a way to go about your business. When 1005 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,320 Speaker 4: I went to New England, it was a hello, it 1006 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 4: was totally different, right, And those are cultural changes based 1007 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,320 Speaker 4: upon the leadership that's in the building, and in Dallas 1008 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 4: there is they have their own unique way. But when 1009 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 4: you step on that field, there's never a time in 1010 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 4: past years where you felt like Dallas is about to 1011 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,800 Speaker 4: get blown out. I think there's only one team really earlier. 1012 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 5: This year was the only time I felt that way. 1013 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, But I mean I go back to, you know, 1014 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,319 Speaker 4: there's only one team in recent years when you play them, 1015 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:45,839 Speaker 4: you're like, oh, this is probably not going to go well. 1016 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,320 Speaker 4: And that was the forty nine ers. Yeah, and the 1017 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 4: forty nine you just felt like the forty nine ers 1018 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 4: just had Dallas Cowboys. 1019 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:51,399 Speaker 1: They had their numbers. 1020 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, they had their number So, I mean, and that 1021 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 4: was a physicality thing, that was a mentality, but outside 1022 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 4: of that, you always felt like you were going to 1023 00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 4: be competitive. So, yes, winning is a culture, but it 1024 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,759 Speaker 4: takes time and it takes a foundation to establish that. 1025 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 4: And so when we're talking to people and getting these 1026 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 4: opinions in regards to bringing to somebody else, understand that 1027 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,799 Speaker 4: you're an etching sketch and you're you're just shaking it up, right, 1028 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 4: and you have a blank slate, and now you want 1029 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,919 Speaker 4: that person to come in, and you're asking that person 1030 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 4: to not only come in and supersede what the twelve 1031 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 4: and five coach did, but supersede that and then go 1032 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,840 Speaker 4: past the where he went in the playoffs. That's just 1033 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 4: that's wishful thinking. Yeah, it's wishful thinking. 1034 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 6: And it may happen. It may happen, but may is 1035 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,839 Speaker 6: like hope, and we know hope's not a strategy. It's 1036 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 6: the same thing on the opposite. And you could hire 1037 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,239 Speaker 6: or you could extend Mike McCarthy in to go south. 1038 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,320 Speaker 6: That may happen, but that's why you play the game, absolutely. 1039 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 5: Why it happens. 1040 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,239 Speaker 6: And I think you got to look at it from 1041 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 6: a pure I don't want to say analytical because that's 1042 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 6: not true. 1043 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,120 Speaker 5: It's more more so a feel. 1044 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 6: It's more so you got to look inward and say, 1045 00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 6: who's game is going to give us the best shot 1046 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:00,799 Speaker 6: to do what we want to do, which is get 1047 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 6: to an NFC title game, and that's win a Super Bowl. 1048 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,320 Speaker 5: Who's going to give you the best shot to do it? 1049 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 6: If you sit there, as Jerry Jones in your your 1050 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 6: office upstairs and you say, Mike Vrabel's that guy, Sure 1051 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 6: go ahead, get it done. If you can sit there 1052 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 6: and you say Mike McCarthy's that guy, I think I 1053 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,719 Speaker 6: would agree with you say there's a shot there too. 1054 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,239 Speaker 5: You've got to make that decision. This front office has 1055 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 5: got to make that decision. 1056 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,640 Speaker 6: We heard the great call from Tyrone, which I'm going 1057 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,359 Speaker 6: to say it again, that's a phenomenal call. He brought 1058 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 6: up a lot of great points, and I think it's 1059 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,279 Speaker 6: a lot of what the fans are thinking about right now. 1060 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 5: And I get it, I really do. 1061 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 6: There's a frustration with the way that they played in 1062 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 6: the playoffs, but he said, you got to squeeze all 1063 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,240 Speaker 6: of what you can out of the roster. 1064 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 5: You're seeing that right now. 1065 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 6: We've got a guy in Josh's Chicago mentioning Carl Lawson 1066 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,480 Speaker 6: and what he said after the game, who the heck 1067 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 6: is Karl Lawson? 1068 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:47,480 Speaker 7: For this season? 1069 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,800 Speaker 6: Nobody would have known who the heck Carl Lawson was. 1070 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 6: Now you do, and he's one of the top guys 1071 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:53,840 Speaker 6: on the in this pass rush. A lot of that 1072 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 6: has to do with the culture of winning and squeezing 1073 00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,239 Speaker 6: the rest out of that limon like they're doing right now. 1074 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 5: And I get it. 1075 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 6: It's a draft and develop organization, and you get a 1076 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,080 Speaker 6: lot of these guys, plain and simple. They've whiffed on 1077 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 6: two drafts so far, back to back, and that's part 1078 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 6: of why you're having some problems. 1079 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,200 Speaker 8: That's tough to say true, but it's true Whift completely. 1080 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: I think it's tough. 1081 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 6: We the one guy that we are I would say 1082 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,920 Speaker 6: two guys and they're both linebackers, de Marvin Overshown, who 1083 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,279 Speaker 6: we won't see until twenty twenty six. And the other 1084 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,399 Speaker 6: guy you feel pretty good about it is Mary Sleafu Yeah, 1085 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:28,320 Speaker 6: and Cooper b B. 1086 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:29,640 Speaker 1: I guess Cooper BB up front. 1087 00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,720 Speaker 6: So maybe not Whift, but let's say they like fouled 1088 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 6: one off a couple of times and they they may 1089 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,800 Speaker 6: have hit a seeing ice single up the middle. 1090 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 8: I would say the last two drafts have not been perfect, 1091 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 8: but I don't know who has had a perfect draft. 1092 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: I mean it's other than the Cowboys. 1093 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,360 Speaker 4: Like this game of football, it's really this game of football. 1094 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 4: Top is not a sure thing, No, like, it's just not.

They don't get to the Super Bowl. They 1102 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 8: don't win the Super Bowl, they take a step back 1103 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 8: next year.
