Good morning everyone, 5 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, January nineteenth. Thank you for joining us. We 6 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: got a we got a Frankenstein podcast for you today. 7 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: I'm David Hellman. I think I was doing the math 8 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: on this before we did the show. Something ten years 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: of NFL playing experience. I'm here with Isaiah Stanback and 10 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: Danny McCray. That sounds about right. And then Mick did 11 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: we have to go there? Forty five? Forty five combined 12 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: years of Cowboys coverage on the other side of the table. 13 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: What's up, y'all? What's it going? And then we have 14 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: Dave Hey, Hey, I threw mine. I threw in my tenure. 15 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: You did, absolutely? Are you higher up than that? No? 16 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: You got it. I was thinking, Okay, that's good anymore. 17 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: We don't need to talk about the eighties, all right. 18 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: So I had a couple of things I wanted to 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: get into today, which it's ironic because we found out 20 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: this morning Mike McCarthy is going to do his kind 21 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: of wrap up press conference, which if there was any 22 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: if there was any doubt about his future here, not 23 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: saying that there was, but if there was any, that 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: probably puts it to rest. That he is addressing the media. 25 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: But I think it's funny, So we don't We obviously 26 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to react to that, right, But 27 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm curious, we've had seventy two hours to digest. Is 28 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: there anything from Sunday's loss that is on your mind 29 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: more or that has changed now that you've had some 30 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: time to digest it, Maybe the emotions of the matter 31 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: are gone. Any anything that you're feeling differently about on 32 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: Wednesday than you were on Monday. Not for me. Not 33 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: for me. I think I feel the same way. I've 34 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: been feeling the same way all season long, you know. 35 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they have to figure out a 36 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: way to address the issue with this with this team, 37 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: um really within this organization. It's not just this team. 38 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: What's been going on? What can they put your finger 39 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: on that's that's been that's been a roadblock for this 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: team and having success in the playoffs, And you know, 41 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that is And I know Jerry's 42 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: beyond frustrated in terms of trying to figure out what 43 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: it is. Because as his job and everybody's always calling 44 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: for Jerry, Jerry, he's a stuff aside. His job is 45 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: to put together the best coach Steff and the best 46 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: roster he possibly can and I think he did that 47 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: this year and to still come up short. I can't 48 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: imagine the level of frustration that he has. And you 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: know this, but this team did. To be fair, this 50 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: team did show a lot of signs that really kind 51 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: of accumulated and really led up to what showed up 52 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: this past Sunday in terms of their inability to be 53 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: consistent offensively, in terms of their inability to stop the run, 54 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: in terms of their inability to be uh, you know, 55 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: to obviously get the ball in their playmaker's hands. All 56 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: these things really started showing up, and it's unfortunate that 57 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: that was on display, and obviously in the playoff game 58 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: that they needed to win to accelerate their way towards 59 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: towards them you know, obviously there ultimate trophy, which is 60 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: the Lombardi. But this something has to has to change, 61 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: and we talked about yesterday. I'm talking Cowboys in terms 62 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: of how I just didn't hear a lot of the 63 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: conversation was never revolving around what was going to happen 64 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: down the road, Like what was what's the this is 65 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: supposed to happen in the regular season. We're supposed to 66 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: beat up on these guys our future, and what really 67 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: matters is the playoffs. Now, you didn't hear a lot 68 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: of that kind of rhetoric in this during this year, 69 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: but you heard a lot of praise in terms of 70 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: all the success that happened during the regular season. Um, 71 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: and I'm always one of those individuals that's always looking, hey, 72 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: what's going to happen down the road? Like this stuff 73 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: that really doesn't matter. This is this is kind of 74 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: this this this has to happen in order for you 75 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: to take care of business down the road. But like, 76 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: that's what really matters. Regular season twelve and five. Make 77 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: it was here when I was my rookie year, I'm 78 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: gonna say a freshman year in two thousand and seven, 79 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: we went thirteen and three. We had thirteen Pro Bowlers, 80 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. We lost after after we had 81 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: our bye week, and you know, I sort of and 82 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: I know they've had past failures in the playoffs. I 83 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: equate this one to the two thousand and seven one 84 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: because two thousand and seven that was a really, really 85 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: good team and they had a couple of things happened 86 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: going into that first playoff game against the Giants. One 87 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: of those was they didn't have enough receivers. In that game, 88 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: Terrell Owens got hurt. Remember he shouldn't have played. He 89 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: had a high ankle sprain, and he was a shadow 90 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: of himself. So that made Patrick Creton the lead receiver. 91 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 1: Patrick Creton was a nice receiver, probably a nice second 92 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: third receiver, but not the lead guy. And then after that, 93 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: I don't I can't even know. Was it crickets, was 94 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: it Sam hurt? Yep, Sam hurt? And it was like 95 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: and then the Cowboys adopted and whoever's idea was, this 96 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: is gonna win this game by running the football. And 97 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: the Giants were like, yeah, go ahead, because Marrying Barber's 98 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: not running into the end zone. He didn't have the 99 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: speed to do that, right, So they just played back 100 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: and said, Okay, run all you want, but you're not 101 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 1: running into the end zone. And he had a hundred 102 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: yards at halftime in that game rushing and they got 103 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: beat because the Giants said, as long as you're not 104 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: throwing the ball in the end zone, Tony Romo will 105 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: deal with this, and they did. Do you feel like 106 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: they did that the forty Niners tik that same approach, 107 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: because that's the vibe that I got as if we 108 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: watched the film. Ever we watched the game, they were 109 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: playing soft defense. The defense was soft tissue, paper, Charman, 110 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: whatever the sponsor is, Okay, they were. They were soft 111 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: to cover three eight yards off, cover four twelve yards off. 112 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: And kelle More just didn't want to take the ease. 113 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: It was Kelle Moore Dak Prescott, however you want to 114 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: go at it right. It was not a point to 115 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: just say take what's given to you. Everything was still 116 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: forced down the field. And obviously that well, I thought 117 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: the giants UH philosophy in that game in OH seven 118 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: was we're not gonna let Tony Romo beat so somehow, 119 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: some way, we're we're gonna put pressure on him and 120 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: and we'll deal with whatever else you throw. But from 121 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: from not just the game, just that was a shocking 122 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: loss because that was a really good team and I 123 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: thought this team was good U but to be honest. 124 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: My philosophy in playoffs, and you guys can speak to it, 125 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: is you can mask your warts during the regular season, 126 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: but when it gets to the playoffs, the warts get exposed. 127 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: Which go ahead, I want to talk more about Kellen Moore, 128 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: but we got it. We got more show to philis 129 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: and we'll do that in a minute. But oh ahead, 130 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: That's why I was gonna hit on. I mean, it 131 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: goes so when you go when you watch the game, 132 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: like you said, San Francisco is playing soft. So they're 133 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: not the first team who's done that to us, right. 134 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: You know why they do that to you. They don't 135 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: believe you're gonna run the ball, right, they don't believe 136 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna run it. So they're saying, look, they're not 137 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: gonna run it. So all we have to do is 138 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: getting our best pass defense and figure out and see 139 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: if they can figure out how to beat it. Six 140 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: And I think what happens is getting Kellen's head of like, Okay, 141 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: I have to figure out how to beat this past 142 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: defense by passing and drawing up something that's creative enough 143 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: for us to get some yards in the past. When 144 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: the easy solution is there, I'm gonna keep pointing to 145 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: the drive that we moved down the field with six 146 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: runs and scoring touchdown, you would then believe, all right, 147 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: we found something. But that's not the first time that's 148 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: happened this season where somebody said, oh, hey, look, I 149 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: think we've we've we've found out that if we run 150 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: the ball, we look like a more balanced offense, and 151 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: then we get it to the next game and we 152 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: go totally away from that war. I think that is 153 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: the biggest ward, not being able to see what a 154 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: weakness is in the game, finding out how to adjust 155 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: to that and help your players out by saying, look, 156 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: if running is working, we should just lean on that. 157 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: Lean on that. I would have dus ran the ball 158 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: thirty times thirty five times and lost the game Newey 159 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: then losing to how we lost it on Sunday and 160 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: maybe not. But that kind of sounds like a contradiction though, 161 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: And Isaiah, you're not the only person I've heard say that, 162 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: if you Troy Aikman talked on the ticket this morning 163 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: about how the Niners were just playing eight yards off 164 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: all day and like the six to ten yard completions 165 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: for Ceedee Lambs should have been there. So is that 166 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: a contradiction like should they have tried to pound the 167 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: rock a little bit more or were they just ignoring 168 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 1: easy plays in both options were available to you. And 169 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: when you go back, and I want everybody go back 170 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: and watch it. There were literal six man and seven 171 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: man boxes. A lot of times six man boxes they 172 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: rust four all day, all day long. When you have 173 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: a six man box, run the ball, or when you're 174 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: coming out and you're going three by one sets. If 175 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: you go back, I want everybody go back and look 176 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: at Dalton shows a lot of times on the inside 177 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: or even Cedric Wilson sometimes in Ceedee Lamb. Those guys 178 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: had they were what we call uncovered right linebacker sitting 179 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: inside the only person They didn't come out in nickel 180 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: personnel or dime. It was literally just their base, the 181 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: base for the defense, and that linebacker was sitting inside. 182 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: A lot of times. That third inside receiver right a 183 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: lot of times to the right was uncovered. There was 184 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities to just simply get the receiver 185 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: snap and toss them the ball to the line of scrimmage. 186 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: Right receiver doesn't have to go downfield, he just turns, 187 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: takes it, runs up the field of five yards. There's 188 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Tyreek Hill who happens 189 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: to do that a lot right, a lot of times. 190 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: Catch a lot of balls at the line of scrimmage 191 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: just turns into a yack yardage. Dallas, I'm just gonna say, Dallas. 192 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to point out Kellamore or Dak has 193 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: been unwilling all year to take those easy plays. I 194 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: don't think that there's a game where we've had the 195 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: inability to run the ball. To your point, I don't 196 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: think there's a game, rega. I don't think there's a 197 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: game where you say that you just can't run. No, 198 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: I think you abandoned to run. You know, I agree 199 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: with that to a point. But what these defenses did 200 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: to this team when they had good enough defenses is 201 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: basically said, you're gonna have to nibble and underneath to 202 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: beat us, and we're gonna bet that you're going to 203 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: run out of downs before we went out of yards 204 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: because you can't execute consistently enough to march eighty yards 205 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: in fifteen plays, because you're gonna have a holding penalty, 206 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: or you're gonna have a false start and you're gonna 207 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: get behind the chains and we'll take our chances with 208 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: you nibbling, but we're not going to let you throw 209 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: the ball over the top. And when they ran, they 210 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: can't run. Look look at the numbers. They ran twenty 211 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: one times for seventy seven yards and one run was 212 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: seventeen yards, So you ran twenty times for sixty yards. 213 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: They got to work on the offensive line. And I 214 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: know I understand the philosophy of play calling, but if 215 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: your offensive line is getting beat the way that offensive 216 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: line got beat in that game, you're going to struggle offensively. Well, 217 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: we'll go to the previous game. If you continue to 218 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: put adult and shows on the Chandler Jones, if that 219 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: is your running exactly, then of course you're not gonna 220 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: be able to run the ball. But I don't strength strength. 221 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: I do believe that if if you find so creative 222 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: as you are in the past game, if you find 223 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: out a way to be that creative in the ring game. 224 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: What does Layle do best? Pool? All right, we have 225 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: a guy who when you see him pulling around, he's 226 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: always making huge plays. Why don't we continue to put 227 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: him in the best position what he does best when 228 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: running the ball right instead of the runs that we 229 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: see where Dalton shows is on Chandler Jones, and he 230 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: can wreck the entire play just based off his inability 231 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: to block that guy, which we all knew he wasn't 232 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: gonna be able to block him. Yeah, so then you say, oh, man, 233 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: the ring game doesn't work. No, no, no, no, the 234 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: ring game works. But you gotta put guys in positions 235 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: to be successful. And I agree with both of you 236 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: guys on some of those points. How are I think 237 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: defense instead of making I know you said that you 238 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: think defense are coming to the game saying, hey, at 239 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: some point in time, you're gonna mess up or somebody. 240 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: You don't have the creativity to get your guys the ball. 241 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: I think think that defenses are playing on Kellen Moore's 242 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: unwillingness to be patient. That's what I think defenses are 243 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: playing against. I think that he's very creative when he 244 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: wants to be. I think he was in his bag 245 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: the whole first half of the season and then Santa 246 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: didn't have a backup okay, and so I think that 247 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: he I think he's very creative, but I think he 248 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: lacks the patience to work down the field on a 249 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: long drive and I think that goes back to his foundation. 250 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: Now I said this before, and I'm the talking Calpas. 251 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: He came from where state. They don't run the ball, 252 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: they don't dink and dunk, they throw the rock. That's 253 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 1: what they do. And when that's your mold, that's what 254 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: you might come out and say, Hey, guess what I'm 255 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: gonna come out and everybody says, I don't run the ball. 256 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: Where I'm gonna run the ball. But then what happens 257 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: when things get tough? What are you gonna go back to? 258 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to what you think kind of 259 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: like like a like an exercise routine, Like it's it's 260 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: easy to do it for a few weeks, but like 261 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: and it's easy to fall out because, like I'm looking 262 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: at the numbers right now, their rushing attack was devastating 263 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: through the first six weeks of the season. I mean, 264 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: what are we doing? First of all, we didn't run 265 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: it against Tampa and we know we literally didn't try. 266 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: But then and it worked though, like the quick screen lost, okay, 267 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: but they moved the ball. I mean they have four 268 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: hundred yards of offense. Yeah, but they were winning to one. 269 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: Twenty four was left at the d day we lost 270 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: the game, we all said, no, no more victories, ain't 271 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: they ain't. No, You're not gonna get me to criticize 272 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty yards of the So so what 273 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: would you would you? Would you agree to this then 274 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: if you want to help your defense find a way 275 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: to hold onto the bottle a little longer. Oh yeah, absolutely, 276 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: But my I got my don't We don't have to 277 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: like get into a fight about But like they they played, 278 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: they used passes that doubled as runs in that game. 279 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they were throwing screens, they were giving them 280 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: ball to Tony Pollard on jet action. I just and 281 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: that's and that's what makes honestly, that's what makes like 282 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: Kansas City. So days, Ken CD doesn't have to beat 283 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: you up by just running their head into a wall 284 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: every single They're gonna get it into Hartman's hands, They're 285 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: gonna get it into Tyreek Hill's hands. They're gonna get 286 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: into them, they're gonna get into all their guys. Yes, 287 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna get it into their absolutely. But I'm saying, 288 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: but that's why, that's why it always and that's what 289 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to not have to point out just kill 290 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: him more. But it really goes back to him because 291 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: the one game that some of that our highest paid 292 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: guy on offense aside from Dak Prescott complained, what happened? 293 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: They got him, They got him the dog one ball? 294 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: Why because he was intentional? Yeah, you're talking about the 295 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: early part of the season. The run game was what intentional? Right, 296 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: having those short passes and those screens were what intentional. 297 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: But when things got a little bit difficult, what he 298 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: would revert back to, I'm going back to my comfort zone. 299 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: I want to throw the ball. So you and I 300 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: get it. You don't want to single anybody out, but 301 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: you do you think that it's more a byproduct of 302 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: play calling than like, you know, the offensive line changed 303 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: a lot over the course of the year, Zeke Elliott 304 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: tours PCL. You think it's more about play calling than 305 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: about like Claire execution. With the amount of personnel that 306 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: this roster had, the amount of talent this roster had, 307 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: I think that the coaching could have outperformed the play 308 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: I truly believe that. Now. I'm not saying that you 309 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: just line up in the backfield and Connor Williams or 310 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern's gonna come down here and block on Aaron 311 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: Donald or anybody else. I'm not asking for that. What 312 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: I mean, what I am what I am asking for 313 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: is what you're talking about. Get these guys out on 314 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: the edge. What do they do well? Connor Williams does 315 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: a good job of getting on the edge. Allow All 316 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: Collins does a good job of getting on the edge. 317 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: Get him out there. Throw a screenplay at Cooper. Have 318 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: those guys both go and go out there and take 319 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: out dog on a cornerback and then a linebacker and 320 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: put these guys on edge. Leave defenses. How do you 321 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: how do you stop a really good defensive lines? You 322 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: have screenplays. You get the ball at the line of scrimps. 323 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: You have it to the point where these linen are 324 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: no longer coming forward, they're now raising up and looking 325 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: trying to see what's going on. That's how you stop 326 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: dominant front sevens. Dallas has all the personnel to do that. 327 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: There's no name one receiver that we play that can't 328 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: get the ball to the line of scrimmage and turn 329 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: it into some major and they all did it at 330 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: times this season.

The title's way too long and confusing for 377 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: me to bother with, but I'm here with Mickey Spagnola, 378 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: Isaiah stand Back, and Danny McCray. All right, we were 379 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,239 Speaker 1: talking about this in the first segment. First of all, Mickey, yes, 380 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: we talk. I mean you've you've seen basically everything when 381 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: it comes to the Dallas Cowboys. Have you ever or 382 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: can you ever remember a year where both of the 383 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: coordinators might be out the door after a successful season. 384 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's normal for one or the other, 385 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: but I can't remember a year where it was both. 386 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: It came close in the nineties. Okay, not both at 387 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: the same time. But first, Dave Lanstat, the defensive coordinator, 388 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: got hired by the Bears after the ninety two Super 389 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: Bowl season, and then the next year after ninety three, 390 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: Norv Turner got hired by Washington, So it wasn't in 391 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: the same season, but it happened in two consecutive years. Yeah, 392 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: they lost both guys at the same time, and then 393 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: after that when they were successful, Ernie Zampez became the 394 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator when Norv left, and Ernie didn't want to 395 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: be a head coach, and he was really good, but 396 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: he just didn't want to be a head coach. He 397 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: was great being the offensive coordinator. So then they lost 398 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: Butch Davis as the defensive coordinator two years later. You 399 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: think there's any chance that Dan Quinn just wants to 400 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: be a DC too. You know, maybe he's just taken 401 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: five interviews in a week for the fun of it. 402 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: I think he is looking for exactly what he's looking for, 403 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: and I think he's going to be choosy, like, Okay, 404 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm not just going to be the head coach. It's 405 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: got to be the right organization, the right owner, the 406 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: right general manager. And oh, by the way, I better 407 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: have a quarterback. I'm not going to put myself into 408 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: my second head coaching job and having to raise some 409 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: team without a quarterback. And why are these coaches not 410 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: there anymore? They probably didn't have a quarterback, right who 411 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: Jacksonville probably got the best opportunity for a good quarterback. Well, 412 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: I'm I got my eye on Chicago. I am. I'm 413 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: a big fan of fields. You like fields, you get 414 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: you're bringing in the new GM too, whereas Jacksonville you 415 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: got to deal with the pre existing GM. They got 416 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: talent on defense. I mean, I think Khalil mac maybe 417 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: is on the downturn, but still a good player. I 418 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: got Eddie Jackson, they got Roquan Smith. That's that's where 419 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: he fits. The personality of the city, that's hell yeah, 420 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: people in Chicago will love him. That is the only 421 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: knowing dan Quinn and having been under his umbrella back 422 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: in Seattle. I feel as if Chicago is the only 423 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: organization that has the history, that has the support from 424 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: the organization, and like I said, the character that fits 425 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: dan Quinn. That's the I feel like if he were 426 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: to leave, I don't think he wants to leave, But 427 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: to your point, if the situation is right's they'll make 428 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: a deal that he It's hard to turn down, but 429 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: I think it has to have that that the entire 430 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: day like I said, the history that comes along with 431 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: it in terms of the defense with Chicago Bears, eighty 432 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: five Bears, all that kind of stuff. I think that 433 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: along with some of his personnel, along with to your point, 434 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: what's what's what's the game plan going forward? And make 435 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: sure I need I need to know since security that 436 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: this is going to be handled. If this is handled 437 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: and you give me these coaches that I want, then 438 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: I'll walk into the situation. Unless he has this tug 439 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: to go back home, Right, he grew up on the 440 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: other side of the Hudson River, and does he want 441 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: to go back to the Giant. Oh that's got to 442 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: be the least appealing job out of all the ones 443 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: I know. But I'm just saying the appeal would be 444 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: to go back home. First question, I'm asking if I'm 445 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: dan Quinn walking into a meeting, right, and I want 446 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: to go into the right the right I guess opportunity. Yeah, hey, man, 447 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: y'all have any idea what Aaron Rodgers is gonna do? 448 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: Like that automatically makes your organization the right fit? Like, hey, 449 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: so do you have any inside and info? Like all 450 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: y'all friends, do you know a guy who said, like 451 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: I want to know what the possibility of, like you said, 452 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: because without a quarterback, you're putting yourself in a tough position. 453 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: And then if people are talking about quarterbacks in the draft, 454 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: you like, I'm not even sure if his one in 455 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: there that you can say that, yeah, that that is 456 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: going to be a bit care of our organization from 457 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: year one. Right, So I'm hey, man, dude, is it 458 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: is it any? Because I think if you're a young 459 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: coach and you get the opportunity and you go, okay, 460 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: I got a job, right, who knows this may never 461 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: come again. But when you've got skins on the wall 462 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: like he does, you know what, if he does a 463 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: good job again next year, there's gonna be five more 464 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: jobs open. No, don't see why he won't do a 465 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: great job for us next year, dan Quinn, You will 466 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: do great. I mean, like, I mean to take five interviews. 467 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: I think it's up to five at this point. It 468 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: seems unlikely, but he knows he's got talent here. He 469 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: knows they've got they'll they'll have some money to spend 470 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: a little bit at least to at least try to 471 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: keep the guys that are on the team right now 472 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: and yeah, the opportunity will be there. I am curious. Okay, 473 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: that's all well and good. We talked about it in 474 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: the first segment. The more complicated one is Kellen Yeah, 475 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean, which I agree with you, Like, if that 476 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: is your final impression, it's not a good one. But 477 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: he's got four interviews lined up like how do you 478 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: think that looks? And again, Kellen Moore, as a young coach, 479 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: is probably gonna be more eager to take an opportunity 480 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: if he gets it. Don't you think he should? Well, 481 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: he should, he should take it. No both ways? Is 482 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: that like a selfish like please go absolutely listen because 483 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: no secret. I would like to see Mike McCarthy be 484 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: the play caller like he came in saying he went 485 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,959 Speaker 1: in the lab, he took that year off, studied as 486 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: much as he could, and came out with some solutions 487 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: on how to move the ball against these these defenses. 488 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: We haven't seen him be able to do that because 489 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: it's Kellen Moore called in the play. So I want 490 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: to see that happening because at the end of the season, 491 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to say, man, what's up with Mike McCarthy. 492 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: So are you giving Kelly Moore a care package, well, 493 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: well hopefully as a head coaching job. Like I don't 494 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: want them to jobs. You know. You know what if 495 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 1: I'm the head coach and I got a problem him 496 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: with what's going on, he's not an independent contractor. I'm 497 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,239 Speaker 1: in his ear right. He's a young guy. He may 498 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: need some guidance, and I think he gets it during 499 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: the week. I don't think he's there all by himself 500 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: without McCarthy having some input. Now calling plays, it's a 501 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: different story, right because I think he is calling the 502 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: plays and he doesn't get in the way. But if 503 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: I was the head coach and that was my expertise 504 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: during the week, I'd have a lot to say about 505 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: the game plan. I'm ow, we're preparing, I'm I'm on 506 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: the mic like like that's that's why that That is 507 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: what I pitched when I came out. And now, of 508 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: course Jerry and Stephen love killing Moore, so they were 509 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: gonna give him the opportunity. But even after last year, 510 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: I was like, hey man, Mike, you're taking a lot 511 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: of heat, all right, so put it on your own back. 512 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: So at the end of the season you could say, listen, 513 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: it was me and my stuff didn't work because at 514 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: this point you're just like like you're still wondering what 515 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy iss out there doing. Like you said, he 516 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: might be out there helping Killing during the week, but 517 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: when you're watching the game is more of like manager 518 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: and I want to see Mike McCarthy called the plaze 519 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: because he's been to one studying. It's kind of like 520 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: what Parcels did right. He had an offensive coordinator, it 521 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: was a title right, he was doing it right. And 522 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: then when he kind of handed off a little bit 523 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: the play calling, he was on the MICA. You know, 524 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: he was in there. What the hell are you doing? 525 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: You know? And because you can say, Mike McCarthy come 526 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: out and say, yeah, I think we need to run 527 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: the ball, and then you go into the game and 528 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: you see something totally different, like it's just it's just 529 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: not adding up. Do you guys feel that Killing Moore 530 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: has the has the personality required to be a head 531 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: coach in the NFL? Be honest, not really? Nope. Yeah, 532 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: he's he's he's soft spoke, off spoken, and name the 533 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: last head coach that was soft spoken. I was successful. 534 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm trying. I mean, they tried with chan Gaily. I'm 535 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: just trying to think the NFL. It's It's so funny though, 536 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,719 Speaker 1: because here, like, uh, San Francisco ZOC is a guy 537 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: by the name of Mike McDaniel. Have you ever gotten 538 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: look at him? He is he looks less like a 539 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: coach than Kellen Moore. Like, he looks like your chemistry professor. 540 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: I mean he seriously, he looks like he like drinks 541 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: mountain dew and plays Fortnite all day. This is I think, 542 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: but this is the difference between us and other teams. 543 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: See when we play what they say, Shanahan offense and 544 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: now you're talking about the offensive. He's well, I mean, 545 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: Shanahan calls their plays, he coordinates their run game. The 546 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: point that I was going to make is he's I 547 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: think he's got an interview with the Dolphins, but I 548 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: would be excited to hire him just because San Francisco 549 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: keep their ass the other day. Like it's I like, 550 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: and that's not the right way to look at it, 551 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: but like if if the Cowboys had scored thirty five 552 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: and won that game, I'd be like, hell, yeah, Kellen 553 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: Morder deserves a head coaching job. But my confidence is 554 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: really shaken by that. Even you take the last game 555 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: out of it, I'm still excuse me. You don't understand. 556 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: Head coach in this league is responsible for coaching who everyone? Yeah, 557 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: but who first? Who's what's his first objective? Quarterback coaches, coaches. Yeah, 558 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: he has to coach the coaches. That's number one. That's 559 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: your number one responsibility. Your coordinator's job is to make 560 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: sure that your players are in position. You're really in 561 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: oversight at that point. Now, if you choose to call plays, 562 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: and I'm sure you've seen plenty of guys due, that's perfectly, 563 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: that's that's that's your choice. But your number one job 564 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: is to coach to coaches and make sure that everything 565 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: is structurally sound, and that make sure that your your mission. 566 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: Make sure that you know all everything that you want 567 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: to be handed down is handed down right, your ideologies, 568 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: all that stuff. After that. Now, if you choose to 569 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: call plays, you can call plays, and then it getting 570 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: a little bit more. You can get hop a run 571 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: off inside of the ball, hop on a defense side 572 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,239 Speaker 1: of the ball. But you can't just be an offensive guy. 573 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: You have to have the respect of every dog on 574 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: player on that team and every coach on that team, 575 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: So to ask Kellen Moore to step into a position 576 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: and be a Sean McVay, But I want to know. 577 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: But I will say this though, like I mean, Sean McVay, 578 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: he's a really good coach. But and I don't think 579 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: it's a coincidence that he's part of the Gruden tree 580 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: in the sense that like he's he's he's a self promoter, 581 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: Like did you see him the other day? He ran 582 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: down to the end zones celebrate with his team. But like, okay, 583 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: they feed off that. That's why, that's why I brought 584 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: his name, but because of the age. But doesn't it 585 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,959 Speaker 1: seem like Kellen is well liked by the guys here, 586 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: at least Mark Cooper probably goes something to say, but 587 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: liked them respected or two different things. I don't know. 588 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: I don't know either. Yeah, but I'm just saying liked 589 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: and respected or two different things. And I'm not I 590 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: don't get the sense. And I'm not in the locker room. 591 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: You guys are in there a lot more to me. 592 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: I don't like that, I know, right I in two 593 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: years my damn hands tied behind my back. But you 594 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: can be a lot more opinionated than I can on this. 595 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: I don't feel as if he walks in a room 596 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: and everybody goes yeah. But I think he does it 597 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit differently. Okay, yeah, I think so 598 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: he's not a yell or and a screamer. Um. And 599 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: I think you know, from what the guys said last year, 600 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: they kind of respected it and in the year before that. 601 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: So but but but different ways to do it. But 602 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: here's what the perception is. And I think when you're 603 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: talking to the public, that's where your perception is perceived, right, 604 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: And you know in his press conferences he's understated. He 605 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: kind of uses a lot of cliches, if you think 606 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: about it, And so that's what the perception gets to be, 607 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: not what happens in the room. Because the same thing 608 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: happened to Jason Garrett, right, and that was about I mean, 609 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: I was about to bring him up his public persondo 610 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: was oh nice guy, didn't say anything, and behind the 611 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: scenes he will mf you more than anybody else. I 612 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: think of how many people have said over the years, 613 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: like did you I know you saw it? Like the 614 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: and well you know Jason well enough anyway, but like 615 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: the All or Nothing that series they did about the Cowboys, 616 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: the Behind the Scene series. So many people shocked and 617 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: they were like, if that guy was the one talking 618 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: and that if that was the guy we saw, we 619 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: would like him a hell of a lot more. And I, 620 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: like Jason Garrett, like never understood that. For some reason, 621 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: I think showing your personality can be such an advantage. 622 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: And I was shocked because that wasn't a Jason Garrett 623 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: that I had here, really was not was not what 624 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: was your experience? He was? He was? He was not. 625 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he was soft spoken, but he didn't 626 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: get on guys like that. Only time I ever seen 627 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: him like really stand up and exude that type of 628 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: personality was when he was beefing with with Wade and Waye. 629 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: Phillis would say wrap it up and he would say, nah, 630 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: not yet, and we were like, uh that was that 631 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: was after that Payade. You know, mine was different. I 632 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: mean I can't remember those restarting periods over again. Like 633 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: we were in college. Sometimes we had the Garrett vision 634 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: where if you messed up in the game, you were 635 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: getting put up there. When I first got there, I 636 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: think if you were overweight or had any of those 637 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: type of fines, that stuff was put up on the 638 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: on the big screen at the beginning to meet and 639 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, you you back up here again, Like 640 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: these are the guys who were up here and this 641 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: is what we need them to do in order for 642 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: us to be great, because the little stuff can seep 643 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: in and create problems within the game. So I had 644 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: a different Yeah, like it was a cool dude. It was. 645 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: He was half of that Jason Gerett that you may 646 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: see sometimes U during the during the press where if 647 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: it's that type of moment, he's that guy. But then 648 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: if it's a moment to where somebody needs to get 649 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: get got, then yeah, I mean he had it in him. 650 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of times where that red hair 651 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: ended up in his face face got ready, gets so 652 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: mad and chew guys out, and I've seen it. So God, 653 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm so glad I don't have a job where like 654 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: my weight is broadcast. Wn't have done well with Jason 655 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: gart No, Like if you if you're overweight one time, 656 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be on the board if this becomes 657 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: a consistent issue, because you know you have a lot 658 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: of time to get your weight. I struggled to get 659 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 1: my weight down when I first got drafted. I got 660 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: drafted at two thirty. They said that we need to 661 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: report at two seven. I said, I'm four percent body fat. 662 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: How you guys sound like when my doctor right when 663 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: I going, oh you're overweights? Oh yeah, It's like thanks, 664 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: all right? Know what before if you got to go 665 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: to go ahead? I was just gonna say. My impression 666 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: after the game was, I don't think if this was 667 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: the final exam for both coordinators to get a head 668 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: coaching job, I don't know they'd either won passed really no, 669 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: not even Dan No. I gotta hear this one they ran. 670 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: They ran sixty three plays. I think it was fifteen 671 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: plays total two hundred and forty yards in that game, 672 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty in fifteen plays. All of them 673 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: were double digit gains, right, and then the other forty 674 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: eight plays they gained one hundred yards. So to me, 675 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: the downfall of that defense when they weren't getting multiple 676 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: takeaways in a game was they gave up big plays 677 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: seventy six for the season. Right, Yet percent of the 678 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: yardage they gave up came on seven percent of the 679 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: place out So I understand that, you know, the defense 680 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: was good and as long as they were getting takeaways. 681 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: And I said before the game and my gut feeling, 682 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: they will get multiple takeaways and that'll compensate for giving 683 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: up big plays. And they had a chance for not 684 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: to think I would say the differences between my my 685 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: my opinion between Kellen Moore and dan Quinn. Kellen Moore 686 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: is still unproven, right, Yeah, dan Quinn is proven. And 687 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: most of these organizations that are asking for a head 688 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: coach to come in are looking for what type of change, 689 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: a culture change? Dan Quinn I get you. Yeah, he 690 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: came in here and completely changed the culture of the 691 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys in one season. Completely. Yeah, talking about they 692 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: were going to ask him to do the same thing 693 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: if you enabled to change the culture of that defense. 694 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: And I'll say this just because I've been I've been 695 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: staying on table for dan Quinn before we even hired him. 696 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: Like you said, the culture change, right, especially from what 697 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: we saw last year. Then I got to go into 698 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: we gave up a lot of big plays when it 699 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 1: came to the defense making stops when they needed to, 700 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: are not giving up touchdowns. I think we were very 701 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: very good at that throughout most of the year. On 702 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: third down. We were at the top of the league 703 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: in our third down defense. Now I also have to 704 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: go just like I do with the offensive, like when 705 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: you played the Washington football team and you score fifty, 706 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: when you play Philly and you score fifty, and you 707 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: know the number one offense, and if you look at 708 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: it in context, it's a little different. Same thing with 709 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,359 Speaker 1: our defense. Sometimes I'm watching the end of the game 710 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: and I want us to be top ten. I would 711 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: come to Dave every morning. Yea, all of a sudden 712 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 1: on this on the on the sideline with a type 713 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: back because we're up by thirty, and then all of 714 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: a sudden they scored fourteen points and you start seeing 715 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: runs going up the middle of the dudes getting beat 716 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: over the top because the game's over. So I think 717 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: that plays into it as well. But dan Quinn, to me, 718 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: definitely his resume and get it. I'm just saying, the 719 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: last game ain't the last. They gave up twenty three. 720 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: I know, I know they played, They played well enough 721 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: to win them. They got a turnover. Listen, one of 722 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: the touchdowns they give up is a change of possession, 723 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: which we know is always tough. Deebo Samuel After that 724 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 1: gives it up in our own territory, breaks it out 725 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: for what twenty six yards run on? Change the position. 726 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: It happens in the league often they always say they 727 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: change the possession. Is that time when the defense is 728 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: rushing out there, you not really really get on the 729 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: field and all of a sudden something can go wrong. 730 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: So seventeen yeah, I'm just you know, in twenty three points, 731 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: holding hold a playoff team to twenty three points is 732 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: enough that game ending and giving a field goal. Yeah, 733 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: it was a carving copy of the Cardinals game, like, 734 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: not not their best effort, but more than good enough 735 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: to win. And they say offense help us, Yes, So 736 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: like somebody like that game of the hand sticking out 737 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 1: of the water like drowning and they just high five 738 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: it instead of helping them out. You think about how 739 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: much help the offense got for us to put up 740 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: seventeen points. Okay, fake pushone talking an interception, right, and 741 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,839 Speaker 1: we still end up with seventeen. And I'm sitting here saying, 742 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: if our if our defense holds it and now he's 743 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: not here, but if our defense holds them to twenty 744 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: three points, I can guarantee you will win this game 745 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: or we should they should have they didn't. Well, there 746 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: was one drive at the end that they didn't do 747 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: what they needed to do. Yeah, the defense, right, they 748 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: let them have the ball for six minutes. They were 749 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: in some time off the club, right, Yeah, they were 750 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 1: is some time off the club, and then the offense 751 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: didn't do what they should have done when they got 752 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: the ball with two whole games twice, right, I am. 753 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm getting wistful all over again. Just think about this. 754 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: All right, we do we have to take it at 755 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: second break, and then I want there's real quick.

Would you would you take a devastating Super 802 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: Bowl loss just to have gotten that monkey off this 803 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: team's back? Yes? How about a devastating NFC Title Game loss? Uh? 804 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 1: You know, all the all. It's easy to say that 805 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 1: right now, but I don't know, man, Well, if they 806 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,919 Speaker 1: ever get over that hump and then don't finish the deal, 807 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 1: I might not ever well if if you're if you're 808 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: asking about a fan standpoint. Yeah, Danny White got this 809 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: team to three consecutive NFC title games and they lost, 810 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: and no one thinks of him as being a really, 811 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: really really good quarterbacks true because he didn't win the 812 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,359 Speaker 1: big one. Don Meredith went through the same thing, right, 813 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: the guy's names up in the Ring of Honor, but 814 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,879 Speaker 1: he couldn't win the big one, and he finally said, 815 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm out of here. I'm tired of that. 816 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, and the same thing. Tony Romol was good, right, 817 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: but didn't win a big one, and so it Yeah, 818 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: it destroys what you think of the guy. That's not 819 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,879 Speaker 1: where I was planning on going, but it's probably it's 820 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: something worth mentioning. Is like or or you tell me 821 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: how you feel Dak Prescott inching into that category of 822 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: when you're gonna when you're gonna win a big one? 823 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: Or am I wrong? You are correct? You are correct. 824 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 1: Isaiah's like hiding over there. Isaiah doesn't want to say anything. 825 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 1: He's a bad word around here. When you say anything 826 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 1: bad around Dak you get freaking spears thrown at you. 827 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: I mean I'm okay. I mean I mean I've be 828 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: getting them thrown at me for the last two years, 829 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: so I mean I'm probably fine on him. Oh hey man, 830 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: you got paid and where you started it right when 831 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,959 Speaker 1: you first came in, and then what you were able 832 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: to accomplish from your first year, and then you just 833 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: you just assume that it's going to continue to go up, right, 834 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: And I think that's part of the expectation for the Cowboys. 835 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: And then he gets paid, and now the expectation is 836 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: really there right for Yes, you have to be able 837 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: to make your offense score more than seventeen points when 838 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: is current's time. You have to be able to win 839 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: those games that are against the good teams that people 840 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: may not expect you to be able to win. And 841 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: if you don't, then, yeah, you're inching towards those same 842 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 1: guys of like, hey man, when it comes down to it, 843 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 1: are you really good enough to win those type of games? 844 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: I drive. I am a driver of the DAK train. 845 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,959 Speaker 1: I wore I absolutely yeah, the license and everything I gotta. 846 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: I am licensed, like what's the Allison transmission that, like 847 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: the big rigs have I got I speak, I speak it. 848 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,879 Speaker 1: I've been in favor of paying Dak since at least 849 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. I'm glad they got the deal done. I 850 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: still think that he is capable of doing that. But 851 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: much like Kellen Moore, I like, I don't think you 852 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: have a voice but to just not like, not admit 853 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 1: that you're wrong. But it's just kind of like you 854 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta hold the l for the time being, right, Like, 855 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here. If you don't believe in Dak, 856 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: I would say, it probably means that you haven't believed 857 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: in Dak. Like, I don't know that Dak lost people 858 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: over that game. I think the people that already didn't 859 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: like him, it just confirmed their priors. But then the 860 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: people like me, I'm just like, yeah, what am I 861 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: supposed to say? I mean, he's on a forty million 862 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,839 Speaker 1: dollars salary. You should be able to lift your team. 863 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 1: I'm not kidding to comeback in here, quarterback coaching coach, 864 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 1: how much would you pay this dude to just leave 865 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 1: right now? Brothers in high school, come on back here, 866 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: be the quarterback coach because the year that that that 867 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: and his ability, his ability to read and make the 868 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 1: make the right throw John Kitting, that holds people accountable 869 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: just so so so talking about spicy, Yeah, that's a 870 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:59,399 Speaker 1: spicy comment talking about Dak. He put up thirty points 871 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 1: against Green Bay as a rookie in the playoffs and 872 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:07,800 Speaker 1: it wasn't good enough. Why defense? Defense? Right, Okay, falling 873 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 1: into a twenty one three hole doesn't help. But yeah, right, um, 874 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,719 Speaker 1: what what happened against the Rams? They got They just 875 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,280 Speaker 1: got pounded into the turf by C. J. Fing Anderson 876 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy three yards rushing. Yeah, it's not 877 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: on the quarterback, right, okay? And in this game, was 878 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,240 Speaker 1: it his faulty got sacked five times and hit fourteen 879 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 1: times trying to throw the ball partially, Okay, I don't 880 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 1: think he's see what you're doing with you guys are 881 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 1: ignoring the biggest factor in that game that that offensive 882 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 1: line was horrible. So you watched the film and I did. 883 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: I went back and watch you and you've seen him 884 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 1: make mistakes and bad reads. The read on the interception 885 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 1: to Cedric Wilson was a bad re not because the 886 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: office of Line it was. It was. But quarterbacks do 887 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: get intercepted. No, no, I'm saying, but but this is 888 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: what we start getting when you're making when you're making forty, 889 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: we're saying the expectation making bad read no and cover 890 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,279 Speaker 1: four when the when the safety is coming to Yes, absolutely, 891 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 1: that is an easy read. They're in cover four, you're 892 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: running the tight end through. The safety has to come 893 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 1: take that guy. Yes, that is to me, that is 894 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:25,960 Speaker 1: a forty million dollar guy. He should be able to 895 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 1: make that read and cover for wide receiver. Let that 896 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: dB across his face. You got talking about y'all might 897 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 1: be talking about one play and I got another one. Yes, 898 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm a former. Well I got another one and I 899 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: got about fifteen of them. Throne. I need fun, right, 900 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 1: I absolutely needs to hear the former quarterback talk for 901 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what the hierarchy or you know, how 902 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: things are being facilitated on that side of the building 903 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: in terms, once a play call comes in, I would 904 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: imagine that he has full rain to change things right 905 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 1: and make alterations change. I would imagine that he has 906 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 1: that power, being that that's the expectation with the defense 907 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 1: that he was being presented. He didn't change the plays 908 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage the way in which I 909 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,240 Speaker 1: saw that he should have. If you have a fourteen 910 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 1: yard route when these guys are playing eight yards off, 911 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: the hell with that first and second down, I'm throwing 912 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 1: a five yard hitch easy, throwing a six yard under easy. 913 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes your officeive linement, you have five offensive linement and 914 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: a running back in the backfield, you can only block six. 915 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 1: You see they're bringing seven. There's no their man right 916 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,479 Speaker 1: there in the slide is uncovered. Throw him a hot route, 917 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,279 Speaker 1: tell him don't come off the ball, tell him turn 918 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 1: and look when if that man comes hot, look at me. 919 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 1: There's things of that nature that I see when during 920 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 1: Dak's game, how about just a screenplay to a CD 921 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 1: Lamb It turned out to be a first down ball 922 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 1: location was trash ball. Location took CD Lamb two three 923 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,239 Speaker 1: yards behind the line of scrimmage when he should have 924 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: caught ath linic scrimmage. But then to just get that 925 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 1: thing up and give him ability to get more yack 926 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: yardage because by throwing the ball old way back here 927 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 1: on his back shoulder, that dog on a linebacker named Warner, 928 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 1: he happened to have another five yard he can close 929 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,920 Speaker 1: the gap. Things like that that are so precise. I 930 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: feel like Dad can help this team in this organization 931 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: be more successful. I don't know the president or the 932 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 1: focus as being applied to that. Because we didn't see 933 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 1: any drastic improvement in that regard. People are going to say, oh, 934 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 1: the calf injury. I hear you. He didn't want to 935 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 1: cross the line of scrimmage. Dad doesn't want to cross 936 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,799 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage to run. He just doesn't want 937 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 1: to do it for a touchdown. I hear you. That's 938 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 1: because it was it was it was. It was booty 939 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,399 Speaker 1: button take it open, but but may but running back through? 940 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,760 Speaker 1: How many other opportunities did he have to move the chains? 941 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,879 Speaker 1: By the way, there's no downside when you can slide. Well, 942 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 1: he slid on the last play and the guy jumped on. 943 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 1: I hear you. I think you're cough buttons on Mac Yeah, 944 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 1: I hear you. But I'm saying there's there are plenty 945 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: of opportunities that were to he can move these chains. 946 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 1: And I don't know. Again, I'm not sure what's being taught, 947 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 1: so I can't I can't speak to that, but I 948 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,720 Speaker 1: do know that there are plenty of opportunities with quarterbacks 949 00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 1: that I've played with, right opportunities that I've had. I've 950 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 1: sat in the meeting rooms with Tom Brady, I've been 951 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: on the field with Tom Brady, Westwalker, Randy Moss. I 952 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: know what the expectation was. I know how many adjustments 953 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: were made on the field. There are plenty of times 954 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 1: whe're on the field, Westwalker would change our release, Randy 955 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: Moss would tell me to do something different. You're right 956 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,080 Speaker 1: TV twelve. You look at me and tell me a boom. 957 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:18,880 Speaker 1: I forget what we're doing that head now right now? 958 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,200 Speaker 1: You know what that means. I mean, I'm getting you 959 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 1: the ball right now. There are a lot of adjustments 960 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: that happened on the field that the quarterback is in 961 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: control of the ball location. TV twelve. There was a 962 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 1: bad ball. I'm sorry I put that on you back 963 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 1: should I should have put on your front shoulder. He 964 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 1: knows that that makes the difference in making a play 965 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 1: versus not making a play. I don't think that that 966 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,399 Speaker 1: emphasis is being applied, and I'm not sure that internally, 967 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,360 Speaker 1: and this is just me speaking, I don't know internally, 968 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,359 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he's being held to that level 969 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 1: of accountability. When you bring up John Kitten, that John 970 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 1: Kitten that holds people to that level accountabilit He don't 971 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,239 Speaker 1: give a dog on what you're making. Gook, I got 972 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,920 Speaker 1: one thing. I got one thing, all right, let's not 973 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 1: disregard because I know just because one person said it. 974 00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: It's not just that one guy. It's something that has 975 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,480 Speaker 1: been see Buddha Baker walks off the field and says, 976 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,320 Speaker 1: this is what we knew about dak in this offense. 977 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,279 Speaker 1: If we showed them one thing, we knew that we 978 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 1: can get them to check into something that was favorable 979 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 1: to us. What the whole game do you think Booda 980 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 1: is the only person who knew that? So why didn't 981 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,839 Speaker 1: the other team stop the Cowboys from being the top 982 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 1: scoring team in the league. You're talking about Philly, there 983 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 1: was missing sixteen people. No, no, are you talking about 984 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 1: to watch the football team. I'm not. I'm talking about 985 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 1: scoring thirty points. That's twenty nine points against Tampa Bay 986 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 1: that helped going on the road, help winning an overtime 987 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 1: game in New England, that helped them number that be 988 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 1: the number one offense, Those fifty point games that helped 989 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,239 Speaker 1: them be I understand that I understand the point thing, 990 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 1: but they were scoring points. I'm not another game. I'm 991 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,360 Speaker 1: not saying so you're basing everything on this one game. No, 992 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,239 Speaker 1: that's the Arizona game. That's the first we talk We 993 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 1: were talking about San Francisco. Now I went back to 994 00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 1: the Arizona game. I told you that a guy who 995 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,440 Speaker 1: stud film said, we knew how to get this guy 996 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 1: to run certain certain tuffs. Those other teams didn't. Everybody 997 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 1: don't have Boote Baker. Everybody don't have it. Everybody don't 998 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 1: have it. Everybody don't have my different defense. That's what 999 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 1: my point is. What's the point. So when they came 1000 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 1: up againting good defenses, they struggled. Yes, and it's it's 1001 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 1: all the quarterback. No, I'm not saying it's all the quarterback. 1002 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 1: He said. We don't know if it's an emphasis on 1003 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 1: what what what checks are being made, like what is 1004 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,439 Speaker 1: available to DA when he walks up to the line 1005 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,920 Speaker 1: of scrimmage once he sees a certain look. Those can 1006 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,719 Speaker 1: be mistakes that are made on the offensive coordinator. Those 1007 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,279 Speaker 1: also could be that checking into the wrong stuff because 1008 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,320 Speaker 1: he believes that the defense is running something that that 1009 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: they're not running like I look at something like a 1010 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 1: like a buffalo, the buffalo again and they freaking torch 1011 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 1: Josh Allen had over three hundred and some yards five touchdowns. 1012 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 1: But what did he do that with? Everybody's gonna talk 1013 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,400 Speaker 1: about his touchhowns he through. Everybodys gonna talk about how 1014 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 1: many yards he through for. But what did he do? 1015 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: Really well? He took what was given to him. Yeah, 1016 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,600 Speaker 1: and when you take what's given to you, you alter 1017 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 1: what that defense now can do to you. I don't know. 1018 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 1: I saw him throwing the ball down the field. Who Josh, Yeah, 1019 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna do that, you know, but you but you 1020 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 1: know why. You know why because when he forces their 1021 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 1: hand when they're playing a certain coverage and no, obviously, 1022 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,239 Speaker 1: if you want to play that coverage, fine, I'll take 1023 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 1: these five six yards on the ground now, guess but 1024 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 1: now you have to change your approach. Okay, so tell 1025 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 1: me this. Do you are you suggesting to me that 1026 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,360 Speaker 1: the Cowboys don't have to do anything going forward with 1027 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,320 Speaker 1: that offensive line? No, no, no, no, no no no no. 1028 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,080 Speaker 1: The whole left side. No, the whole left side from 1029 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,239 Speaker 1: the center, the center and left guard position has to 1030 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,040 Speaker 1: be addressed. That's a that's a glaring hole. And the tackles, 1031 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,359 Speaker 1: the tackles are playing, they're playing well, lay columns, they're 1032 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 1: playing well. They're not playing all pro lyle Colins. Well, no, 1033 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 1: I mean the tackles are probably disappointing relative to their salaries, 1034 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 1: but like, you're not going out there like we can't 1035 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,240 Speaker 1: win with these guys. What defensive end caused your issues 1036 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,480 Speaker 1: versus those two Off the top of my head, I mean, 1037 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,399 Speaker 1: I'm saying they're playing well. Your problems came from where 1038 00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 1: they're lucky interior. They're lucky, Bosa got her, they played okay, 1039 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,840 Speaker 1: and then they also both missed the time throughout the season. Absolutely, 1040 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 1: Now that's that's something that you have to address. But 1041 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,759 Speaker 1: I'm talking about that's not a glaring hole. Claring hole 1042 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,680 Speaker 1: is inside your interior. When you think about the teams 1043 00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,439 Speaker 1: that we played against and where the pressure came from, 1044 00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 1: Where did it come from it? Yeah? Inside? Yeah, you 1045 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,840 Speaker 1: got your two youngest guys in the middle of the 1046 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 1: middle of the offense. Do you think we should have 1047 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,839 Speaker 1: been able to win that game even though we had 1048 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 1: that offensive line that we had out there, Yes, that 1049 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 1: that's that's I don't believe that the offensive line is 1050 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 1: the reason why we're sitting here on Wednesday saying that 1051 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 1: we don't have a game next. If you want to 1052 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 1: keep running the office away what you're running it, yes, 1053 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:35,120 Speaker 1: they will be. Do you think I want to because 1054 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,279 Speaker 1: now you're asking these guys back and protect for three 1055 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 1: or four seconds when you know they can't do it, 1056 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,359 Speaker 1: which I mean that is a separate issue, which again 1057 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,880 Speaker 1: it's so frustrating that we just don't know what's going 1058 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: to happen. I mean, Kellen Moore, I think you're probably right, 1059 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,160 Speaker 1: but we still don't know that. I want to ask you, 1060 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,279 Speaker 1: because you touched on this with the Josh Allen thing, 1061 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 1: do you think Dak has a patience problem? Because he's 1062 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 1: talked about it a few times over the course of 1063 00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 1: the second half of the season when they were just 1064 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: on this up and down ride. He talked about being greedy, 1065 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: trying to force chunk plays that maybe weren't there instead 1066 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,360 Speaker 1: of just taking what was in front of him. And 1067 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 1: I want, like we talked about, to Callen Moore, I 1068 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,880 Speaker 1: have to go. I have to go to who's his teacher, 1069 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 1: Callen Moore. Ain't that that's who spends the time with him? 1070 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:20,319 Speaker 1: That's his mentor at this point. And now even though 1071 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,319 Speaker 1: he was underneath him none the depth chart, now he's 1072 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 1: his dog on coach, and whatever the coach is teaching you, 1073 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,719 Speaker 1: that's what's gonna show up on the field. If the 1074 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,400 Speaker 1: coach is saying, hey, drive the ball down here, we 1075 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,360 Speaker 1: have opportunity for players down here versus this coverage. We 1076 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 1: want you to go down here, fourteen sixteen, eighteen yards 1077 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,359 Speaker 1: down the field. No, take that one, Take that one. 1078 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:39,759 Speaker 1: That's the reason why New England was so good for 1079 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 1: so dog on a long Wes welker am, and don't 1080 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,280 Speaker 1: those guys will pick you apart. How do you defend 1081 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: five yards off the line of scrimmage? It's hard because 1082 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 1: now if you do that, now guess what going over 1083 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:50,800 Speaker 1: the top of your head. But as long as you 1084 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,879 Speaker 1: don't do that, what they're gonna do. Mick, I'm playing 1085 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,880 Speaker 1: twelve fourteen yards off because I know you don't have 1086 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:56,839 Speaker 1: the patience to work the way. I know you don't 1087 00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,360 Speaker 1: want to throw that guy. You'll throw it to Shoults 1088 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,200 Speaker 1: every so often, but y'all know you don't want to 1089 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,319 Speaker 1: give it to him. I do. I just wonder if 1090 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: there's like an because dak He's so competitive, you can tell. 1091 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,960 Speaker 1: And I just wonder if there's an element of like, 1092 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,520 Speaker 1: you don't think I'm worth the contract, you don't think 1093 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: I'll ever walk again after breaking my ankle. Watch this. 1094 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,800 Speaker 1: You have to watch that as a competitive sure, but 1095 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 1: you also have of course, And I mean Tom Brady 1096 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,840 Speaker 1: is notorious for being like competitive to a psychopath degree. 1097 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,200 Speaker 1: But you gotta you gotta check it in the name 1098 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:33,359 Speaker 1: of like doing what the defense is. Absolutely he will. 1099 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 1: That's why. That's why the teams that he plays that 1100 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,319 Speaker 1: he obviously commands are so hard to beat. They bring 1101 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,440 Speaker 1: in they lose the freaking Leonard Fournete when they bring 1102 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,920 Speaker 1: in who your body? Bernard? Hey, come come from the house. Man. 1103 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,360 Speaker 1: What you're doing over there? You playing Madden? But you 1104 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:47,920 Speaker 1: can come over her help. I'm gonna throw you a 1105 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,359 Speaker 1: couple swing routs and I'll tell you a couple of drops. 1106 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 1: But you think about Lenifournette. What was Lenifournette coming out 1107 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 1: of college? Just a bulldozer? We're not talking about he 1108 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,799 Speaker 1: did not catch Let's play off, Lenny. He caught the ball. 1109 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,720 Speaker 1: I think he's like third on the bucks and receptions 1110 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 1: this year, behind Godwin and Evans wild now. So I'm 1111 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,920 Speaker 1: so so addressing. I think everything keeps coming back to 1112 00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore for me, For me because I think he's 1113 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 1: in charge, even though that'smyer and all that stuff. As 1114 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,880 Speaker 1: a called quart in the quarterback coach, I think he 1115 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,239 Speaker 1: is a huge obviously of being an offensive coordinator. He 1116 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 1: has a huge impact and impression on DAK and if 1117 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:28,800 Speaker 1: he if he makes it a point to work on 1118 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,720 Speaker 1: his aspect of the game that he needs to improve, 1119 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 1: I think we will see that translating to DAK and 1120 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,480 Speaker 1: ultimately see that translating to this offense is a development. 1121 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,360 Speaker 1: I'm with you because even to Mickey's point, I'm like 1122 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,640 Speaker 1: when even so, if you go into the game knowing 1123 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,120 Speaker 1: that your offensive line is at a disadvantage, then you 1124 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,880 Speaker 1: have to find him just to do things that that 1125 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,759 Speaker 1: doesn't put them in those situations on a consistent basis, right, right, 1126 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 1: And so like we used to say, when well, I 1127 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:55,800 Speaker 1: guess it was, what was the game when Tyron Smith 1128 00:55:56,239 --> 00:56:00,560 Speaker 1: is out? We're playing Atlanta absolutely right, and everybody's we 1129 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 1: come back and we're sitting here on Monday, and like, man, 1130 00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,240 Speaker 1: why didn't give any help? Right? You? As an offensive 1131 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,400 Speaker 1: coordinator have to know, hey, man, we need to put 1132 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 1: a tight end. That wasn't killing you know what I'm saying. No, no, no, 1133 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm not saying it's killing. But we 1134 00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,359 Speaker 1: got on JG for that man, And I know, right, 1135 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 1: but as an offensive coordinator, you say, listen, why is 1136 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,040 Speaker 1: it like if you know you're going into the game 1137 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,400 Speaker 1: with this guy right and you know what he can 1138 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,320 Speaker 1: and can't do, or after the first quarter you realize 1139 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 1: he's getting beat like a drum, figure out call some 1140 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,400 Speaker 1: plays you have, some have to call some places in 1141 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:30,800 Speaker 1: there were Yeah, man, we got a tight end. This 1142 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,839 Speaker 1: will come over. We're gonna max for take, We're gonna 1143 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 1: do X y Z. Actually we're getting five sacks that 1144 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: gave up that was on the offensive line. Coach. He 1145 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,399 Speaker 1: insisted that this will work out. And they finally got 1146 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 1: to the second half and screw your advice determined that 1147 00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:51,160 Speaker 1: was a lie. Yeah, he lost his job, Yeah, as 1148 00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,640 Speaker 1: he should have. Right should have. I mean Adrian Claiborne 1149 00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,359 Speaker 1: earlier this year, I think he's with the Browns now 1150 00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 1: like one of the games tyring miss like it got 1151 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,839 Speaker 1: announced that he was out in Adrian Clayborne I think 1152 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,200 Speaker 1: it was the Falcons game this year. He like quote 1153 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,480 Speaker 1: tweeted on Twitter and was like, get after it, my guys, 1154 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: Like that made my career. Basically, it made all the 1155 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 1: money he needed to make because he was a free 1156 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 1: agent paid you never heard from him again. I think 1157 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,760 Speaker 1: both of all of all of this can be right. 1158 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean, the offensive line got embarrassed on Sunday, but 1159 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 1: for where he is in his career, what we've seen 1160 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 1: that he's capable of, Like Dak has played some amazing 1161 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 1: football for this team. Oh, not taking anything away from no, no, no, 1162 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: but but the offensive line was a problem and it 1163 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,680 Speaker 1: needs to be addressed. But I agree with y'all like 1164 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 1: the players were there to be made. You needed twenty 1165 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:43,480 Speaker 1: four points, you didn't. He didn't get into this shootout 1166 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,680 Speaker 1: where you needed thirty eight points to win. He needed 1167 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,080 Speaker 1: one more touchdown and you and your question was is 1168 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,440 Speaker 1: he inching toward that? Like yeah, And I'm like yeah, Well, 1169 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 1: I mean if you have to look at at the 1170 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 1: route that we've taken, yes, getting there, but not getting 1171 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 1: over the hume. You guys is where they are. Y'all 1172 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 1: know you you all know how this goes because of 1173 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 1: who they are like, if you don't love the Cowboys, 1174 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,880 Speaker 1: you hate them all. My friends went to LSU. They 1175 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 1: were burying me in memes about Joe Burrows got as 1176 00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,480 Speaker 1: many playoff wins as Dak Prescott. And I was like, 1177 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 1: I can't say I got nothing. I can't say anything 1178 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:21,760 Speaker 1: to you. It's just no excuse. And that's that's the 1179 00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,560 Speaker 1: show right there. Now, that's the show. Uh. You know 1180 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 1: they went out there, they beat Kansas City with the 1181 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 1: offensive line, and they want to they want to playoff 1182 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 1: game with the offensive line. But at the same time, 1183 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,520 Speaker 1: that same team has two one thousand yard receivers and 1184 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,200 Speaker 1: a thousand yard rusher who they lean on all three 1185 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:39,560 Speaker 1: of those and they make sure that in the tight 1186 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,320 Speaker 1: end is good and they get them all the ball. 1187 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 1: They make sure all of them. See Higgins Jamarta's I 1188 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,080 Speaker 1: can't I always miss is it usman? I forgot? Is 1189 00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,720 Speaker 1: our highest is our second highest paid offensive player, the 1190 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,400 Speaker 1: highest the highest receive receiving receiver. Honest team. No, nope, 1191 00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:00,400 Speaker 1: it's nope, you know, nope. You gotta be to get 1192 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 1: these guys the ball. Did he even did he even 1193 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 1: flirt with a hundred catches on the year? No, but 1194 00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,800 Speaker 1: it didn't come close to a million one point one 1195 00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,680 Speaker 1: a game, right, something like that. Twenty on the year, 1196 00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:12,480 Speaker 1: you said you should be able to get that. No. 1197 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:19,080 Speaker 1: Two three million a year, seventeen games right somewhere around there. 1198 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 1: It's over a million a game. It's a lot, but 1199 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 1: you're not ensuring you gave him that because of his 1200 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,280 Speaker 1: ability to do what catch the ball, catch the ball 1201 00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,880 Speaker 1: and make plays. And the quiet guys is telling you 1202 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: he a kudos to Marie Cooper, kudos to a Mariy Cooper. 1203 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:38,959 Speaker 1: That was I was here with TiO. Obviously, TiO caught 1204 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 1: a lot of backlash for how he expressed his frustrations. 1205 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:44,760 Speaker 1: He went about it in a certain way. Everybody has 1206 00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,960 Speaker 1: their ways of going about it. TiO does it one way, 1207 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown does it another way, Odeo Backham does it 1208 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,240 Speaker 1: one way. Right, everybody has their ways. Amari Cooper was 1209 00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,720 Speaker 1: sitting here screaming. That was his version of screaming, get 1210 00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:59,000 Speaker 1: me the dog on ball. I'm frustrated. There is no 1211 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,200 Speaker 1: excuse for alcoho only do what I can do. I 1212 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,200 Speaker 1: can't throw it in catchen. You hear all these little 1213 01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,320 Speaker 1: things that he said, he is he is. I rate 1214 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,160 Speaker 1: right now that he didn't have an opportunity to help 1215 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 1: his team win, and that this coordinator didn't find more 1216 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 1: creative ways to get him the ball. Because when you 1217 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 1: think about the number one receiver for any other high 1218 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,680 Speaker 1: caliber offense in this league, do they have a problem 1219 01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,040 Speaker 1: getting the ball regardless of the defense, Not at all. 1220 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,520 Speaker 1: Just keep throwing at him. Freaking at Cooper Cup right 1221 01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:30,960 Speaker 1: on un and sixty. I mean, you go down the 1222 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,320 Speaker 1: dog every team. I don't get Kansas City. Who do 1223 01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,360 Speaker 1: you think about when you think about Kna City? Kelsey 1224 01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,440 Speaker 1: and Hill, go go through, go keep going. I mean 1225 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 1: Minnesota got to him. They gonna raiders renfro Davante Adams 1226 01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,600 Speaker 1: is the only guy in Green Bay's offense that scares anybody, 1227 01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:49,840 Speaker 1: and he's still caught one hundred and twenty three passes 1228 01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,360 Speaker 1: this year. You know that the teams were going into games. 1229 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,120 Speaker 1: This is a problem for him, This is a this 1230 01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 1: is a problem. So you're suggesting not cutting Cooper. You 1231 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,160 Speaker 1: better not cut Coop. I'll have a I will have 1232 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:05,400 Speaker 1: a fit. Have you listen if the problem the problem 1233 01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,480 Speaker 1: is right, I don't listen to If the problem is 1234 01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:10,080 Speaker 1: not Coop, The problem is the guy that's trying to 1235 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:11,680 Speaker 1: get the ball too, Coop, if you are going to 1236 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,680 Speaker 1: if you are going to pay these dudes, if you're 1237 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 1: gonna pay a guy one hundred million dollars a running 1238 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 1: back ninety million dollars, your offensive coordinator better be prepared 1239 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 1: to get them dudes to the rid. But if they 1240 01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,160 Speaker 1: if they're not, then why are they here? If Cooper 1241 01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:24,960 Speaker 1: was in Kents City, what would he be doing? But 1242 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,560 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying though, So, so what's one are 1243 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:30,600 Speaker 1: you going to do? The last year that got him 1244 01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 1: the ball? Yeah? Yeah, I think he had nine years 1245 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 1: I think got the ball. So what happened this year? 1246 01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 1: We talked about this on the break the other day, 1247 01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,880 Speaker 1: I think, and I get it. And it was the 1248 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 1: same quarterback. By the way, I'm not talking about QB. 1249 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking about that. That was almost the same offensive cord. 1250 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 1: The idea of like, we have so many weapons, we're 1251 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,920 Speaker 1: gonna throw it where the defense isn't is no in theory. 1252 01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,320 Speaker 1: It's a good idea right in theory, but it can't 1253 01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,800 Speaker 1: be And for that matter, you can't just target to 1254 01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,320 Speaker 1: Mari twenty times every game either. But there's got to 1255 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,120 Speaker 1: be some give and take here, Like there's got to 1256 01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:12,040 Speaker 1: be a determined effort to be like like and playmaker. 1257 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,920 Speaker 1: I mean Amari for one, but I mean CD too. 1258 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,800 Speaker 1: It's like we have we didn't target CD until the 1259 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,880 Speaker 1: third quarter. Like that should just never happen. That it 1260 01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,560 Speaker 1: just can't. That can't happen. You can. You can target 1261 01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,080 Speaker 1: to Mark Cooper almost every third down. Every third down 1262 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 1: when you force the defense to get a man to 1263 01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,160 Speaker 1: man you have an opportunity to target to Mary Cooper 1264 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,320 Speaker 1: or CD Lamp. You should be able to delegate what 1265 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 1: the defense is. Right, absolutely, check were checking into stuff 1266 01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:41,280 Speaker 1: that that isn't right. They tricked us into chicken into 1267 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 1: something that just got to pick six on magistrates. Maybe 1268 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:49,080 Speaker 1: maybe they overthought it there. Oh absolutely, I really, I 1269 01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,600 Speaker 1: really appreciate the way we were all kind of we 1270 01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,800 Speaker 1: were down here when the show started and we just 1271 01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 1: ramped it, ramped it all the way up. Mickey, gets 1272 01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:02,080 Speaker 1: you right. I'm Ky get you right. That God saw 1273 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 1: the crawler there. But they had the interview for the 1274 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 1: Dolphins and then they had Kellen Moore and Dan Quinn 1275 01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:15,240 Speaker 1: on which So tell me this, um, if you were 1276 01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,280 Speaker 1: a head coach and you were looking for a team, 1277 01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,520 Speaker 1: which quarterback or which team has a quarterback that would 1278 01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,800 Speaker 1: trust to go to. I am making it has the 1279 01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,400 Speaker 1: best quarterback. I'm making a bee line for Chicago because 1280 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,440 Speaker 1: I think Jacksonville's just to desfollow. Yeahs too, but I'm 1281 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 1: talking about as far as quarterbacks, Trevor in terms of organizations. 1282 01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,320 Speaker 1: I had to say, what's happening with the Watson. I 1283 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,840 Speaker 1: don't even want to touch that. I don't know. It 1284 01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,320 Speaker 1: sounds like he's out well, he's out there. Yeah, I guess, 1285 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:41,920 Speaker 1: I guess. I think if I think if they get 1286 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,440 Speaker 1: B Flow, I think he stays yeah. Just I mean, 1287 01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,680 Speaker 1: it depends on what do you have there at that point, 1288 01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,920 Speaker 1: because that's probably your best option is having I think 1289 01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:50,760 Speaker 1: if he goes to having a quarterback, if B Flow 1290 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,040 Speaker 1: goes to Houston, which I think will happen, I think 1291 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,320 Speaker 1: he stays, Yeah, they find a way. If he's there, 1292 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,760 Speaker 1: that's probably and he's able to play, then that's probably 1293 01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,680 Speaker 1: your best bet for having a guy. Although you got 1294 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,960 Speaker 1: a d with the GM down there, that's well, that's 1295 01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,440 Speaker 1: his guy. I was there with Nick Nicko Sarria was 1296 01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 1: my receiver's coach when I went to do I mean 1297 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,400 Speaker 1: Houston at this point to Houston at this point is 1298 01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,959 Speaker 1: basically Foxboro South. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And Brian 1299 01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,680 Speaker 1: Foes is a New England guy. If he gets his guy, 1300 01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:18,440 Speaker 1: he won't be calling down in the middle of the 1301 01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:22,800 Speaker 1: game and telling him here's what we need to do here. Right, 1302 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,160 Speaker 1: it's to Danny's point. I mean, Denver's got the best 1303 01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 1: roster of any team with an opening. But unless you 1304 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,440 Speaker 1: can promise me Aaron Rodgers is signing there in May, 1305 01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 1: I don't want any part of it. I think Denver 1306 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 1: is about to have Manning Family's about to take over 1307 01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,520 Speaker 1: to the Denver Yeah.
