Speaker 1: label broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 1: Now your hosts Bury Church, Danny McCrae, and Newe Scrugs.
Speaker 1: Here we go on a Monday. The season is over, everybody,
Speaker 1: It's over. The Cowboys are six and ten football team.
Speaker 1: They will draft tenth overall in the twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: NFL Draft in April. And News Scrugs, longtime Cowboys reporter,
Speaker 1: joined by two former Dallas Cowboys players, Safety's Danny McCrae
Speaker 1: and Barry Church. Gentlemen, are we doing today? I want
Speaker 1: me to go first. Many y'all know how i'm feeling. Man.
Speaker 1: Y'all y'all know how i'm feeling. I'm highly disappointed right now.
Speaker 1: But hey, you know, you know what it is, man,
Speaker 1: It happens. It happens to the best of us. Man.
Speaker 1: So I'm ready, man, I'm waiting for y'all to go ahead. Back,
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and start this thing off. Listen ahead, man, listen.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I'm not happy that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys didn't win, because I did pick them to win,
Speaker 1: you know, following no Tradamas again, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: know how I let them convince me again. I just
Speaker 1: didn't want to lose to him. But you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not happy that they lost. You know, I'm kind of
Speaker 1: wishing they were in the playoffs. But you know, me
Speaker 1: and my guy knew, he knew he wasn't gonna happen.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad I was right, and I get a
Speaker 1: free meal out of this. So listen, all is good
Speaker 1: this week. You know, Church, I'm not gonna jump on you, man,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not. I'm not gonna do it. I'm
Speaker 1: not because this is bigger than you, Church, this is
Speaker 1: bigger than you. I mean you you tried to have
Speaker 1: TV true believerism. That's what you tried to have. And
Speaker 1: it comes from It's a line that comes from the
Speaker 1: movie Primary Colors, and it was basically based loosely off
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton's life. And the guy jumps on board the campaign.
Speaker 1: It is played by it by John Travolta. The guy's
Speaker 1: name is Jack Stanton, so he joins Governor Jack Stanton
Speaker 1: and then he's he's sitting there here believing. You know,
Speaker 1: the speech he's like, yeah, man, he was talking about
Speaker 1: Uncle Charlie's and then the consultant looks at him and says, oh,
Speaker 1: you got TV's like what you got true believers? You
Speaker 1: believe everything that candidate says. You believe every message, you
Speaker 1: believe every story, and he just lets him know, Hey, man, look,
Speaker 1: it's just not the way it is. And Church, you
Speaker 1: tried to have true believers and what the Cowboys are
Speaker 1: doing down the stretch and you were thinking that Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy was going to turn around and did the deepen
Speaker 1: you tried to and that's that's okay, man, But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, to me, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask you both this question because this is one of
Speaker 1: the biggest things that I had here. Who did Mike
Speaker 1: Nolan's defensive scheme make better? Name me one or two
Speaker 1: players that this scheme made better for the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: this year? Who go ahead, Danny? I mean, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: in last place, so I'm gonna go ahead and get
Speaker 1: the floor to y'all. First man, well, yeah, we'll listen up,
Speaker 1: hold on noise before before we get to that, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hop on Church for whatever, because what he did
Speaker 1: to us last week when he got that dub, he
Speaker 1: went on for about fifteen minutes about how we don't
Speaker 1: hop on the bandwagon. I told y'all, I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear nothing about this next week. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I'm getting to say with some lobster and I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear nothing NEWI Danny, y'all been flip flopping
Speaker 1: all this other stuff going on Twitter, talking to all crazy.
Speaker 1: This was very Church. Last week he had his NFC
Speaker 1: East Championship. Had all said this, wettll get another one? Hey, Church,
Speaker 1: where's that bottle of kool a that that you had?
Speaker 1: Did you finish this? Empty? Man? It's empty man? Water
Speaker 1: is empty water, I mean, they said. I guess they
Speaker 1: didn't smash the water moons before that game. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But Church, I want to tell you this, man, I
Speaker 1: feel bad for you. And as soon as the pandemic
Speaker 1: is over in these vaccines start flying out, I will
Speaker 1: meet you at Nick and Sam's that's on Maple right
Speaker 1: there in Uptown, and we sit at the bar and
Speaker 1: we just order up a bunch of stuff. All right,
Speaker 1: don't you don't you worry about it? Man, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take care of you. I'm gonna take care of you,
Speaker 1: but I'll make sure the tab don't go too high
Speaker 1: because I know at least I can get a stake
Speaker 1: in lobster, because that's what you said you was gonna get.
Speaker 1: So I know I can at least get that with
Speaker 1: the heavy butther am I able to respond? And am
Speaker 1: I able to respond to this newie? And can I can?
Speaker 1: I cannot respond? Man. First, I'm gonna I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: that first point. Man, You're gonna have to catch me
Speaker 1: first if you want that nicka SAMs. Second. Man, look, man, second,
Speaker 1: I'm highly disappointed. And this is what happens, man, when
Speaker 1: I take nickname away, when I take nicknames away from people,
Speaker 1: and I and I and I give and I bought
Speaker 1: them up. I put him up on a pedestal, man,
Speaker 1: because because you know what, that's what happened to me
Speaker 1: and my boy the red rifle. I'm not gonna take
Speaker 1: it away. I'm not gonna give him pistol. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna do that to the man because he put us
Speaker 1: in the position to even get to this point. So
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take the nickname away from him. But boy,
Speaker 1: do I realize now why he's up out of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, man, the first five years of his
Speaker 1: career up there, there was a reason they went to
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But when he got to that big moment
Speaker 1: and and everything was on the line, I mean, he
Speaker 1: folded like Oregami. And the same thing happened this afternoon
Speaker 1: or last afternoon against New York Giants. I mean, the
Speaker 1: man looked he looked bad out there. He didn't look
Speaker 1: as bad as the new chief, but he looked bad.
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna sit there and say he had
Speaker 1: no protection. He was getting killed because he wasn't. There
Speaker 1: was times when he had time to throw the ball
Speaker 1: and he was just missing his receivers out there, and
Speaker 1: it ended up casting us in the end. It ended
Speaker 1: up casting us to our guy, that ship that's supposed
Speaker 1: to lead this team to victory. He just didn't show up.
Speaker 1: And that's what happened in this game, and we were
Speaker 1: able to go ahead and go home. Man, And it hurts, man,
Speaker 1: it hurts me to my soul. But da, that's what
Speaker 1: I get for, you know, for backing them boys. That's
Speaker 1: what happened. He looked especially bad in the first half,
Speaker 1: the first half of the ball was all over the place.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get what was going on. Um, but you know,
Speaker 1: like you said, you gave him his red rifleing and
Speaker 1: you know he let you down. So I'll find you
Speaker 1: he did. I'll find you. Don't worry. I'm gonna find
Speaker 1: new It too. And listen, listen, Church, You're not the
Speaker 1: only one who old meals around here, all right, So
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let since new It didn't really want
Speaker 1: to go in on you like that. I gotta I
Speaker 1: gotta take a jab at him to you owe me
Speaker 1: some food as well, since you're gonna let Church off
Speaker 1: the hook after he went so hard on your last week,
Speaker 1: so hard, but you want to be the bigger person
Speaker 1: I got. It's a new year. It's a new year. See,
Speaker 1: I'm older. I'm older than you, guys. I've seen this
Speaker 1: story so much. Okay, I've seen this so much. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like going to watch an Adam Sandler movie and
Speaker 1: you leave there and you're like, man, it was a
Speaker 1: bad movie. But I could have told it's gonna be bad.
Speaker 1: It's what it is. Um. You know I said that
Speaker 1: Washington was gonna win ultimately, that all of it wouldn't
Speaker 1: matter that Washington would win this game in Philadelphia not
Speaker 1: only delivered it, they tanked the game away, so it
Speaker 1: would have been you know, I'm looking at this thing. Hey, fine,
Speaker 1: the Giants one, Cowboys got the tenth pick in the draft.
Speaker 1: I'm good with that. Um, you know, more so than
Speaker 1: just the disappointment of yesterday, because we've seen this a bunch. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've seen this a bunch with the Cowboys. I want
Speaker 1: to go look at what you know, not so much
Speaker 1: what was. To me, It's about what will be. What
Speaker 1: needs to happen is you got fire defensive Cordat, got
Speaker 1: a fire defensive coordinad Tell you, right, who did that
Speaker 1: scheme make better? Who? And right now I can't. I
Speaker 1: can't name anybody, right, I can't name anybody. So if
Speaker 1: your scheme didn't make anybody better, you gotta go. And
Speaker 1: you're in the New York Giants teenage struggling to score
Speaker 1: twenty points week after week they get twenty in the
Speaker 1: first half. This guy's gotta gold. He's got a gold.
Speaker 1: Knew it, man, I'm missing I missed the time for
Speaker 1: a perfect joke. Asked that question one more time, and
Speaker 1: I give you answer, Ask that question one more time.
Speaker 1: Who did this Keith make better every offense that we
Speaker 1: played against, that's that's that's what they made. And Tonio
Speaker 1: Gibson came through here and ran through. Baker Mayfield came
Speaker 1: up to him, old deal with throwing a touchdown. Listen,
Speaker 1: if you name an offense besides maybe the Pittsburgh Stillers,
Speaker 1: they came in here and they hear record days on us.
Speaker 1: So yes, everybody that we played against, right, and and
Speaker 1: and so for me, when I think about your what
Speaker 1: will be? You know your you know, Mike McCarthy's buddy
Speaker 1: has to go. Okay, you tried the friend thing. It
Speaker 1: didn't work. And not just him, It's gonna be coaches,
Speaker 1: positional coaches on the defensive side of the football too.
Speaker 1: You want to tell me these linebackers got better with
Speaker 1: this new linebacker coach because they didn't. Okay, they look
Speaker 1: at the secondary, look at the quarterbacks, safeties. Was anybody
Speaker 1: teaching I mean, you guys played the position. I don't
Speaker 1: feel like anybody was being taught back there. You got
Speaker 1: dudes looking around, well, you know, it was terrible. So
Speaker 1: your secondary positions got to go. D line. This was
Speaker 1: the d line any good at all. And I understand
Speaker 1: they head injuries, but still we've never seen I've never
Speaker 1: seen okay, I've never seen their cowboy defense in line
Speaker 1: so bad, being gashed so much. Um, it was a
Speaker 1: bad scheme. So if you're going to legitimately bringing a
Speaker 1: new coordinator, as I believe they should, that new coordinator
Speaker 1: shouldn't be allowed to bring it to people who can
Speaker 1: implement his type of defense and coach the way he wants.
Speaker 1: And this whole thing where Mike was trying to use
Speaker 1: his scapegoat thing of hey, man's a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: new coaches and were just trying to figure each other out,
Speaker 1: and there's no continuity amongst us, and we still learn
Speaker 1: each other. I want to hear that bull job because
Speaker 1: Cleveland did it, Washington did it. Yeah, I want to hear.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hear. You gotta fix his defense. I mean,
Speaker 1: even this needs to be priority one, Dak Prescott's priority two.
Speaker 1: To me, the defense is number one because if you
Speaker 1: signed Dak Prescott, if you bring back like Nolan, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be what he was when he left. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to win games and shootouts. You got to
Speaker 1: fix this defense and it starts with the cord of defense.
Speaker 1: Go aheady, Matt, Yeah, I don't. I don't like that
Speaker 1: excuse of the coaches are new and you know, working
Speaker 1: together and all this other stuff, didn't get a chance
Speaker 1: to really know each other. Me and Barry can go
Speaker 1: out right now to a high school team and we
Speaker 1: can input cover two, Cover three, and cover four without
Speaker 1: ever having to meet or talk one on one to
Speaker 1: teach how we want the safety is the player of
Speaker 1: the corners to play, and we can get these players
Speaker 1: to play that defense now when it comes like making
Speaker 1: tackles and doing all that stuff, I don't know. But
Speaker 1: as far as getting them to learn the basic scheme
Speaker 1: of cover one, Cover two, three, we could do that
Speaker 1: without any meeting. And we've never coached. These guys have
Speaker 1: been coaching. When you see the secondary out there blowing
Speaker 1: simple stuff like cover flour and Cover three, that is
Speaker 1: not on the fact that the coaches haven't been able
Speaker 1: to work together. This is just specifically the individual coaching,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, So that excuse doesn't fly with me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you're totally right about that one. I mean,
Speaker 1: it can't it can't fly that our defensive coaches, especially
Speaker 1: in the secondary, because that's what I look at most
Speaker 1: when I'm watching the games. I look at the secondary
Speaker 1: and for those amount of times that we've seen busted
Speaker 1: coverages or simple coverages like Danny said, cover three or
Speaker 1: cover two and guys just aren't getting their hands on them,
Speaker 1: the jam at the line of scrimmage. I mean, these
Speaker 1: are these are you know, elementary type things that you
Speaker 1: should learn in high school and you just find tune
Speaker 1: them as you get older. But to go into the
Speaker 1: NFL and being cover three and let a guy just
Speaker 1: run right by you, We've seen that too many times.
Speaker 1: Too many times busted coverages are linebackers. I mean, do
Speaker 1: we have to go back to that Baltimore game toward
Speaker 1: You've seen our linebackers look dazed and confused, and that
Speaker 1: was just one of plenty examples of our linebackers looking
Speaker 1: confused out there. And then the D line. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't even know where to start with the D line.
Speaker 1: It just seemed like we didn't get enough production out
Speaker 1: of them, and it it didn't seem like they were beating
Speaker 1: one on one blocks enough and it just didn't seem
Speaker 1: like they knew Mike Nolan's system to stop the run.
Speaker 1: And to me, it's got to start at the top,
Speaker 1: and Mike Nolan's the top right now. He's a right,
Speaker 1: He's the top of the DC right now. I think
Speaker 1: we have to let him go. And like you said,
Speaker 1: now we got to bring in a new guy that
Speaker 1: has his own guys come in and implement his game planning,
Speaker 1: his philosophy on this defense. And I think that's the
Speaker 1: only way we get better because it's gonna be hard
Speaker 1: to hit on each in every draft pick we do defensively,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to hit on all of them.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to have a good coach to
Speaker 1: back that up. And I just don't think Mike Nolan's
Speaker 1: it in church and church, let me hype you up
Speaker 1: a little bit, just just a little bit. I believe
Speaker 1: that you may be on the sude with this novel
Speaker 1: gallop more thing. All right, He's he's made enough splash
Speaker 1: plays this season and this spots, you know, in a
Speaker 1: opportunities that he's had, He's made enough splash plays to
Speaker 1: where I think if you get a good defensive coaching
Speaker 1: staff around him, good d line coach and a scheme
Speaker 1: that fits what he like does the best. I think
Speaker 1: that you may be I don't know about a superstar,
Speaker 1: but he could be the next main state in the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys defensive line. When you look at a Nevin
Speaker 1: Gallimore and Tristan Hill, these are guys who can help you.
Speaker 1: You know that you're gonna need a rotation of guys. Okay,
Speaker 1: And so there's two guys who are are controlled costs,
Speaker 1: because that's another thing you got, especially if they signed
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. You're going to need controlled costs with guys there,
Speaker 1: and maybe you spend some money on a legitimate, big
Speaker 1: time free agent upfront. Maybe you even invest the top
Speaker 1: three draft pick in one up there as well, you know,
Speaker 1: beef it up. But they've got to make some improvements.
Speaker 1: But guys, you and I both know, unless you get
Speaker 1: some coaches in here and get some teaching, it really
Speaker 1: won't matter who you put up front. If guys out
Speaker 1: here confused and they're not bought into what's going on.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think about you had Tank and ever
Speaker 1: they didn't buy what was going on. Tank. Lawrence today
Speaker 1: spoke to the media. He didn't exactly give out a
Speaker 1: ringing endorseing a Mike Nolan, nor should he, Nor should
Speaker 1: he Your twenty million dollars a year player was not
Speaker 1: put in the position that he needed to be put in,
Speaker 1: and that, to me is shameful. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, your job as a coach is to cover
Speaker 1: up the wards. If anything, Mike Nolan exposed wards and
Speaker 1: poured alcohol on the damn thing. It was embarrassing. I
Speaker 1: just can't sit here and express to you enough of
Speaker 1: just how offensive watching Mike Nolan's defense was this year
Speaker 1: because of the way this guy was just so stubborn
Speaker 1: and trying to make these guys play his scheme. And
Speaker 1: I'm mad at the head coach because the head coach
Speaker 1: lied to us because he said players over skiing, players
Speaker 1: over skiing. No, your boy came in here, put it
Speaker 1: in his scheme and told everybody you all need to
Speaker 1: go figure it on out. And you know what, they
Speaker 1: didn't figure it out. And by the time they did
Speaker 1: figure it out, it was against some bad teams. And
Speaker 1: then Mike was trying to sit up here in cover
Speaker 1: for his boy Nolan, and they trying to act like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're good, We're good. No, it was a game you
Speaker 1: had to win against the New York Giants, and that
Speaker 1: defense came out there game twenty damn points and a
Speaker 1: must game listen, and it should have been more because
Speaker 1: j G had he called he called the hick of
Speaker 1: the game, and you had Ivan Ingram out there dropping
Speaker 1: all type of passes and and Danny Downs was missing stuff.
Speaker 1: But Evan Ingram, he dropped two passes that that probably
Speaker 1: would have continued drives and put more points on the
Speaker 1: board for the Giant. So it could have been a
Speaker 1: lot worse. Yeah, it could have been a lot worse.
Speaker 1: And look, I think you know, I know, Mike know what,
Speaker 1: He's done a terrible job. I will say that he's
Speaker 1: done a bad job as a defensive coordinator for our
Speaker 1: team this year. But we're also gonna have to get
Speaker 1: some better players. Now, I mean, those guys they weren't
Speaker 1: out there, you know what I'm saying. It wasn't like
Speaker 1: they were lighting it up out there as well. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know the scheme was bad, but sometimes you know,
Speaker 1: if you're that good, you're getting paid that much, sometimes
Speaker 1: you got to overcome the scheme. And a lot of
Speaker 1: those players they weren't able to do that. So I mean,
Speaker 1: we do need some better players as well on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. As this says, defend it's
Speaker 1: the coordinator. Can you get out here and tell some
Speaker 1: guys that they need to play a little bit better?
Speaker 1: Or can somebody somebody tell Jay Len and man, stop
Speaker 1: all this swiping, bro, the need to start. Just just
Speaker 1: cut the swiping out. I mean, can somebody least to
Speaker 1: tell man, this just doesn't look good. It doesn't it.
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody's say anything at all. Many knew it.
Speaker 1: Checked the tape, man, just check the I guess the
Speaker 1: honor ain't tripping, right, ain't tripping? I mean, wow, oh man, look,
Speaker 1: you know people pile on Jalen and I get it.
Speaker 1: But just just some of the things w I'm looking
Speaker 1: at as a coach. Does somebody that I mean, you
Speaker 1: guys played the game. Does somebody not come and tell
Speaker 1: you in the film? Rule? And what are we doing?
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody being held accountable? Is it about a
Speaker 1: lotody say, hey, man, his teammates should have told should
Speaker 1: have been told him that they should they should have
Speaker 1: told him that after the communal commercial. But listen, do
Speaker 1: you think that a like I think at least two
Speaker 1: of the three levels of the defense, secondary, linebacker, or
Speaker 1: defensive line. I think you've seen like the disadvantage of
Speaker 1: not having a true veteran player with veteran leadership in
Speaker 1: those rooms, because if you look at the secondary, there's
Speaker 1: not a true veteran leader in the secondary, there's not
Speaker 1: a true veteran leader. In the linebacker room. It was
Speaker 1: Sean Lee, but he missed almost the entire season. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then on the D line you got Tank Lawrence and
Speaker 1: you got who was at Alton Smith as the leaders
Speaker 1: in that one. But two out of the three you
Speaker 1: don't even have veteran leaders out there. And you see,
Speaker 1: those were two of the three that were really really
Speaker 1: struggling throughout the year. Danny, let me let me hop
Speaker 1: on your point, because I had someone else tell me
Speaker 1: this who worked in the NFL when when they went
Speaker 1: to a different team and they brought their defensive scheme,
Speaker 1: they ended up bringing a player at each level from
Speaker 1: their former team who where they went to and they
Speaker 1: said it helped out. And then that staff ended up
Speaker 1: moving on again and they didn't do it at the
Speaker 1: next stop, and it hurt them, it hurt her. And
Speaker 1: I'll give you some of them. I'll give you some
Speaker 1: of the names in the break. I don't want to
Speaker 1: put it out here just because because I don't have
Speaker 1: permission to put it out to them. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you in the break who exactly I'm talking about? All right?

Speaker 1: Barry Church and Danny mccraig. Fellas when you were also
Speaker 1: talking about this, you know, not having guys who can
Speaker 1: help teach your system some veterans. I go back to
Speaker 1: the first year I covered Phil Jackson's Laker team in
Speaker 1: LA ended up within the championship he brought it John Sally.
Speaker 1: Sally was with the Bulls on a championship team, and
Speaker 1: John Sally's job was to teach Shaquille O'Neil to triangle
Speaker 1: and understand exactly what Phil wanted from it, and then
Speaker 1: they brought in Ron Harper. Ron Harper was out there
Speaker 1: teaching Kobe Bryant exactly what Phil wanted and how they
Speaker 1: wanted to go about things. And so, you know, you
Speaker 1: need when you're trying to implement these scheme, you need
Speaker 1: some people who will understand it. And I guess Aldon
Speaker 1: Smith was the only dude who understood it. And by
Speaker 1: the way, Alton Smith even on the team the last
Speaker 1: quarter of the season, because I barely saw make any plays.
Speaker 1: But there were just so many mistakes that were made.
Speaker 1: And I thought Mike McCarthy, you know, he was supposed
Speaker 1: to be up in that barn in Wisconsin that had
Speaker 1: this big old plan about everything he was gonna do. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if I wandered, Man, was that just a lie?
Speaker 1: What y'all really do every week? Because man, I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm just disappointed. As the Cowboys finished up here six
Speaker 1: and ten. But Kellen Moore's back. Okay. Over the weekend,
Speaker 1: I found out you guys have sent me the text.
Speaker 1: I can't remember what I was doing, but I got
Speaker 1: the text for you guys, said Kellen Moore's back three
Speaker 1: year contract extension not taking the job at Boys State.
Speaker 1: Troy Aitman basically set on the broadcast that Kellen was
Speaker 1: offered the job and took it, and then somehow that
Speaker 1: Jones has got to him at WAILA, here's Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: back in a move we had seen the Cowboys make before.
Speaker 1: Sean Payton was offered the Raider job and somehow Jerry
Speaker 1: convinced Sean not to take that job, and he gave
Speaker 1: him a million dollars raised. Mike Zimmer was his coordinator
Speaker 1: and they convinced him not to take the Nebraska head
Speaker 1: coaching job, gave him a million dollars. So this is
Speaker 1: not something that we haven't seen Jerry do before. Jason
Speaker 1: Garrett offered the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Raiding's job, the
Speaker 1: job that John Harbaugh has. Now they paid him three
Speaker 1: million bucks at Karate and Stay. So this is a
Speaker 1: mood that Jones have tried before. Um two times. You know,
Speaker 1: they saved themselves because you know, look at what Zimmer
Speaker 1: and and Peyton have become as far as head coaches,
Speaker 1: and and they gave the job at JG and and
Speaker 1: j G did win an NFL Coach of the Year.
Speaker 1: So they have had some success doing it. Go ahead
Speaker 1: and McCrae. So who was calling plays yesterday? Was it
Speaker 1: was it killing? You guys believe Killing Moore was calling
Speaker 1: players yesterday? It was Kelling Moore? So how many times?
Speaker 1: How many times the Andy Dalton? Because I said this
Speaker 1: before the game. If Andy Dalton, if they have Andy,
Speaker 1: dont come out here and try to throw the ball
Speaker 1: all around the field and not get the ball to Zeke,
Speaker 1: we are going to lose. I think Andy Dalton threw
Speaker 1: the ball forty seven times yesterday, forty seven. It was
Speaker 1: Zeke had forty and if he had Russias Man and Russia?
Speaker 1: How many how many targets did nineteen get yesterday? I mean,
Speaker 1: we could we could do this all year. It's been
Speaker 1: the same thing all year. You go out here playing
Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants, all right, and you give
Speaker 1: Zeke about fourteen times, tell Andrew Dalton to go out
Speaker 1: there and throw at forty seven and the expect to win.
Speaker 1: That's why that's why you lost. That is the top
Speaker 1: reason why you lost. I just you know, I just
Speaker 1: don't understand, man, I don't get it. Man. How many
Speaker 1: times this year have we thrown the ball over forty
Speaker 1: times and it resulted in the l I mean, it's
Speaker 1: been too many times, so we're gonna go into this
Speaker 1: last game. It's basically the playoffs. It's basically the playoffs
Speaker 1: between a division rival. You got the Giants over there,
Speaker 1: you're visiting them. It's cold outside, the elements are not
Speaker 1: in your favor to throw the ball. But yet we
Speaker 1: go out there and throw the ball forty seven times.
Speaker 1: Forty seven times in the ball game where we were
Speaker 1: never down more than what I think we were down
Speaker 1: at the most. Was it was a twenty to seven
Speaker 1: one time or was it twenty oo? There was twenty
Speaker 1: seven nine targets. Finally Cooper had nine targets. Cobrat nats.
Speaker 1: That's decent. Why are we throwing the ball forty seven times?
Speaker 1: I understand Zeke had a calf issue and all that,
Speaker 1: but you got Tony Pollard there who two games before
Speaker 1: that had one of the most explosive games he's ever had,
Speaker 1: So why are we throwing the ball that much? I
Speaker 1: just don't understand. This is not the Mountain West, this
Speaker 1: is the NFL. This is not Madden. You can't just
Speaker 1: go out there and throw the ball one hundred billions
Speaker 1: of times and become one dimensional. We're not that good
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, and we're not that good as
Speaker 1: a team overall. To just be one dimensional and throw
Speaker 1: the ball over the yard like we're Tampa Bay or
Speaker 1: like we're somebody, or we're the Chiefs or something like that.
Speaker 1: We're just not that good. Our defense. Our defense actually
Speaker 1: took the ball away and gave us short fields. And
Speaker 1: what did we do? We settled for three points. I
Speaker 1: just to me, it's just I don't understand why they
Speaker 1: gave him the bag and why he continues to play
Speaker 1: it like this is Madden or this is Mountain West
Speaker 1: where they throw them all over the place. I don't
Speaker 1: think we'll be successful if we do that. Maybe we
Speaker 1: get a new implement a new game plan next year
Speaker 1: when we get all our gays healthy and back, But overall,
Speaker 1: I just think it was not a smart game plan
Speaker 1: and it didn't and the game didn't dictate us to
Speaker 1: throw the ball forty seven times. It ain't like we
Speaker 1: were down in an immense margin where we couldn't battle
Speaker 1: back with the run game as well. I just don't
Speaker 1: understand that Kellen don't get in church, church, Church, clearing
Speaker 1: up hold on Mary Cooper getting nine out of forty
Speaker 1: seven targets. It's not okay, it's not okay. You threw
Speaker 1: the ball forty seven times. You got one hundred million
Speaker 1: dollar guy out there who was clearly your best route
Speaker 1: runner and best playmaker, and you target him nine out
Speaker 1: of the forty seven. Makes absolutely no sense. And then
Speaker 1: we got eighty eight, who had a he had a
Speaker 1: nice season, but we got another opportunity with him getting
Speaker 1: the ball in a big time situation. This time he
Speaker 1: dropped it the last The last time, it was like
Speaker 1: fourth to three, he runs a two yard route and
Speaker 1: get stopped on fourth down. Get the ball to night team, Like,
Speaker 1: it's not that difficult if you're going to lose. Lose
Speaker 1: with nineteen and twenty one now when Andy's don't throwing
Speaker 1: a ball forty seven times, and not with twenty one
Speaker 1: having fourteen carres. That ain't the way that you end
Speaker 1: the season. No, no excuse. And you know what happened.
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore went out there and he tried to outdo
Speaker 1: Jason Gear and then he got outdone by Jason Geart
Speaker 1: and that's all he end up throwing about forty seven times.
Speaker 1: Don't make no sense. Jason Garrett did what he didn't
Speaker 1: he did. He did exactly what we said he was
Speaker 1: gonna do. Run the ball the government don't matter what
Speaker 1: he did. They were going to continue to give a
Speaker 1: ball to God was a government. And Alpha Moore, It's like, so,
Speaker 1: I mean you got you got out done. Fuck I
Speaker 1: had I had somebody in the building tell me that,
Speaker 1: you know, the Joneses really like Kellen Moore with that
Speaker 1: same passion that they liked Jason when he was calling plays,
Speaker 1: and that that same passion that when Sean Payton called plays,
Speaker 1: And there's just this whole belief to make sure that
Speaker 1: they never allowed another Sean Payton to get out of
Speaker 1: the building. That's social might be worried, might be worried. No, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think he should be worried. But just you know,
Speaker 1: they want to make sure that they do not lose
Speaker 1: the offensive mind, that they do not end up the
Speaker 1: way Daniel Snyder has ended up. That he had once
Speaker 1: had Sean McVeigh and Kyle Shanahan in the building and
Speaker 1: they got away. So I'm just telling you this is
Speaker 1: what I was told when I asked for just hey,
Speaker 1: then give me some more, you know, give me some
Speaker 1: more insights on and MC. We've seen it. We've seen
Speaker 1: this story play out before. We've seen it play out
Speaker 1: before our rookie year. Man, we were scoring about ten
Speaker 1: points a game for the first six games. Wasn't really
Speaker 1: going that well. All of a sudden there's a coaching change,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, we're scoring thirty points
Speaker 1: a game. I mean, the offense exploded. So we've seen
Speaker 1: this story happen before. Man, I'm just saying, big Mike,
Speaker 1: keep your head on the swivel. Listen, listen, and before
Speaker 1: we go out to break, because I want you to
Speaker 1: think about this. And somebody answered for me because I
Speaker 1: asked it before. I wanted to know, what is Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy's job description? What is it during the week and
Speaker 1: on game day? If you ain't calling defenses, you ain't
Speaker 1: calling offenses, you ain't calling specialties, you ain't calling for challenges,
Speaker 1: you ain't well, what are you doing on the sideline?
Speaker 1: I need to know what the job description is because
Speaker 1: I literally thought that he was going to snatch the
Speaker 1: play sheet of this upcoming year and say, hey man,
Speaker 1: that was Kelly. But I got everything that I've been
Speaker 1: working on this is what we're gonna do next year.
Speaker 1: And instead he's going to do the same role that
Speaker 1: he had this season, which was sit out there with
Speaker 1: the car and let Keller call the place and then
Speaker 1: you know what, everybody calling on stuff, and you know,
Speaker 1: then ask him and take up for him in the
Speaker 1: press conference. It's crazy. It's crazy, y'all can answer after
Speaker 1: a police Yeah please, let's let's let's let's hit that break.

Speaker 1: what they need to throw some eighty six jerseys in there,
Speaker 1: because Dalton Schultz had himself won foe season for a
Speaker 1: guy who was a backup player, Blake Jarwin gets hurt
Speaker 1: the first game. That young man had a very good season,
Speaker 1: had seven catches seventy yards yesterday. So Dalts and Schultz,
Speaker 1: I salute you had a heck of a year. I
Speaker 1: did not see that coming did not see that coming
Speaker 1: down us. We we all were in agreement that the
Speaker 1: lights might be too bright for mister Schultz, and uh
Speaker 1: he proved us all wrong. So good for him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a big time real quickly on this. Quought him good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: should should Should Jarwin be penciled into the start as
Speaker 1: a starter or is there going to be a competition?
Speaker 1: He should still start Jarwin? Yeah, he should, he should
Speaker 1: still get to start. I mean they're probably gonna run
Speaker 1: a lot a couple of I mean a lot of two.
Speaker 1: Tight End said, well, I don't know what Kella's gonna run.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say you never know what Keller more,
Speaker 1: you never know, you never know. I mean the thing
Speaker 1: that I and you guys know this from playing. Um
Speaker 1: you know, you come back a year after the ACL,
Speaker 1: it's a little different. So um. If anything, they've got
Speaker 1: the opportunity to have to tight End to know the
Speaker 1: system and understand what to do. And so I think
Speaker 1: if you're the Cowboys, that you're in a really good position.
Speaker 1: They may want to upgrade from a blocking tight end
Speaker 1: standpoint and see if they can do you know, improve there,
Speaker 1: or maybe Sean McKinnon, the kid from Michigan, is a
Speaker 1: little bit stronger and better with a full offseason next year.
Speaker 1: But they definitely needed to get any more of a
Speaker 1: blocking tight end than those twelve personnel packages. But you
Speaker 1: at least know you've got two guys who can catch
Speaker 1: the football at that position, and you can most likely
Speaker 1: leave it alone draft weekend. That's my thought process. That's
Speaker 1: one area of the football team that I don't think
Speaker 1: that they need to necessarily dive into and say, hey,
Speaker 1: we need to address this. I think they're going to
Speaker 1: be pretty good there. I like three tight ends they have.
Speaker 1: If you want to add Blake Bell or bring him back,
Speaker 1: that could possibly before. So I like the position, the
Speaker 1: positional strength there. The Danny you're asking before, Okay, what
Speaker 1: does Mike McCarthy do that? Not challenging that Pettis catch
Speaker 1: that what I'm watching the game, you know, I was like,
Speaker 1: Danny's in my head right now, Danny's in what are
Speaker 1: you doing? And then to here. But the lame bull
Speaker 1: jive excuse afterwards that no, we thought saving the timeouts
Speaker 1: was important, like what what do you mean saving the timeout?
Speaker 1: I mean burn it. You're trumping man, you know. And
Speaker 1: if you at one point game and three, I mean yeah, man,
Speaker 1: And if you lose the if you lose the challenge,
Speaker 1: you still have the two minute, You still have the
Speaker 1: two minute as an extra time out. So I mean
Speaker 1: it's you're really not losing anything by losing that challenge.
Speaker 1: But you know, they get the field goal or whatever,
Speaker 1: but you're not losing a timeout. So I just don't
Speaker 1: understand why he didn't challenge it. But doesn't he have
Speaker 1: guys up in the booth that are supposed to say,
Speaker 1: you know what, hey, this this is a solid call
Speaker 1: to challenge or this is a I'm not sure about
Speaker 1: this one. Like, doesn't he have people to help him
Speaker 1: out do that? Like, I just don't understand why he
Speaker 1: didn't refer to them. See we were lying once again. Church.
Speaker 1: I go back to he was in the bar and
Speaker 1: doing all that right, had the whole staff around. I said,
Speaker 1: go bring a litical team. So he was supposed to
Speaker 1: have all this. He was supposed to bring all this
Speaker 1: to the cow. I'm bringing you all. You're all about
Speaker 1: to get all this info, all this No it's terrible. Listen, listen.
Speaker 1: I think I think that he did bringing those I
Speaker 1: think he brought those guys, and then you know, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a lot different when you're on the field
Speaker 1: and when when the versus when you're in the barn,
Speaker 1: all right and uh, and they got on the field,
Speaker 1: they couldn't do it. So I think a lot of
Speaker 1: times this year Mike McCarthy is tooking the bullet for
Speaker 1: some of the people that he brought here to help
Speaker 1: him out and do this analytics thing and help him
Speaker 1: try to run this team. But that excuse with the
Speaker 1: timeoutse and then talking about as a bank bank play, well,
Speaker 1: that's what the challenges for, right, because might miss it
Speaker 1: because it's a bank bank play. That's why you're supposed
Speaker 1: to use it. You're not supposed to use it when
Speaker 1: it's just only when it's clear and obvious. Now, if
Speaker 1: you think that they made the wrong call, you go
Speaker 1: out there and you challenge it. Ill we all everybody
Speaker 1: saw it. I mean I think everybody was watching the TV.
Speaker 1: Everybody's sitting on the sideline saw it. And one person
Speaker 1: didn't see it. So I mean, you now see, Danny, Danny,
Speaker 1: you bring up, bang bang play. I don't know about you,
Speaker 1: but years ago I thought there was a bang bang
Speaker 1: play at Lambeau Field where Dez Bryant, don't you do it?
Speaker 1: That looked like Ohn Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy threw out
Speaker 1: the challenge flag. So I'm just trying to think to myself. Man,
Speaker 1: at the time, in a game you were trying to win,
Speaker 1: you thought, bang bang play. I don't know, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to just let them get on down there and
Speaker 1: you know, get some get some position, and you know,
Speaker 1: he said, I'm gonna start, you know, use it up.
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand wanting to keep challenges and half
Speaker 1: time outs, but not in that situation. And you showed up.
Speaker 1: Saw what they did. They ran on out there real quick,
Speaker 1: because that should have been another telltale. That should have
Speaker 1: been another telltale right there, when when the special team's
Speaker 1: unit comes sprinting onto the field, it gets ready in
Speaker 1: record time to kick a field the red flags up,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold us red flag, hold on
Speaker 1: real quick. Man, there just too many signs out there,
Speaker 1: and my boy chos but Church to make it even worse,
Speaker 1: they went fast, but they didn't. They weren't doing like
Speaker 1: a may day situation. You had time sit there and
Speaker 1: seeing it making the decisions it was, you know, like
Speaker 1: the kicker still took its steps on to the side,
Speaker 1: picked the grass up, make sure it wasn't flooring, and
Speaker 1: didn't kick the ball. I mean you had time. We
Speaker 1: all had time in the question like what you know,
Speaker 1: are they gonna do it? I heard Aigman on the
Speaker 1: broadcast like, uh, I think they're waiting for Well, I
Speaker 1: guess they're not gonna do it. The confusion was all
Speaker 1: over the place, and and this goes in Taught Archer
Speaker 1: of ESPN dot com does an actual job covering to Cowboys.
Speaker 1: He wrote a piece about this up through all year long,
Speaker 1: the different game management questions you had about Mike McCarthy's, like, huh,
Speaker 1: what are you trying to do? I mean it started
Speaker 1: with the first game against the Rams where he decided
Speaker 1: they are gonna go for instead of kicking the field
Speaker 1: goal and make it twenty to twenty um. Also, it
Speaker 1: started game one, and so it started bad, it ended bad,
Speaker 1: and you just say, huh, I don't I don't understand.
Speaker 1: You're gonna sit up here and try and tell us
Speaker 1: that you know, at a four point game in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter against Washington going for fake pun at your
Speaker 1: own twenty four yard line is good. You know. It's
Speaker 1: just so many things. And I have to say this,
Speaker 1: he's the worst game manager to Jason. Okay, and we all,
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of us. We all said, Man, with Jason,
Speaker 1: you can't get no worse. You know what, it got worse?
Speaker 1: Talk about the ride, Man, No, I can't get worse.
Speaker 1: You know it got worse. Can't get worse, you know it? Dude?
Speaker 1: Did it get better? I mean, there's just so many
Speaker 1: things about this season in six and ten that I
Speaker 1: just feel so let down about because I was booboooo
Speaker 1: fool out here drinking the kool aid talk about eleven
Speaker 1: to five season and Mike mccarton is gonna be so
Speaker 1: much better Jason Garrett and you just watch this guy.
Speaker 1: He was running out of Green Bay. He's gonna show you.
Speaker 1: He's gonna he's gonna be like Andy Reid was in
Speaker 1: Kansas City, bouncing back strong. No, I just look stupid,
Speaker 1: and I'm mad about looking stupid. He okay, mad I
Speaker 1: bought in. We got I got poetic. That's poetic. You
Speaker 1: know you know who sealed the stupidest feeling for you,
Speaker 1: Jason gear It ain't that something You went out there
Speaker 1: the last day and who sealed the faith? My man,
Speaker 1: JJ sealed the faith on man. Listen, I'm not now
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. I'm not mad about that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not mad about that. I mean, you guys know
Speaker 1: I was on I was on team take at the
Speaker 1: quarter end of the year. Give me a high draft
Speaker 1: pick as you camp, he goes going to the playoffs
Speaker 1: and get you know, going to the playoffs and getting
Speaker 1: worked over it. I mean that you know that. No
Speaker 1: to me, what I think? What do you ultimately want? Guys?
Speaker 1: You want a super Bowl? You know this. He'd be
Speaker 1: like Washington. This ain't gonna be no super Bowl team
Speaker 1: for Washington. Um. You know, so you made the playoffs, fine,
Speaker 1: but you're going home and even if you beat your miracle,
Speaker 1: wouldn't know it ain't gonna be a miracle win because
Speaker 1: they barely be Philadelphia. Only even gonna be philadelpic because
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson quit. Um, No, get yourself a high draft
Speaker 1: pick and try to use it traded maneuver it. I mean,
Speaker 1: this team needs to improve. And when once they signed
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. I can't emphasize this, nut fellas. The draft
Speaker 1: picks are going to become something that they have to
Speaker 1: hit on, and it will become your the way you
Speaker 1: can keep prices down that you can afford. Because the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are darned. The're about to become one of those
Speaker 1: eighty twenty teams where twenty percent of the roster making
Speaker 1: an eighty percent of the cash. It's just gonna be
Speaker 1: what it is once you pay Dak and until you
Speaker 1: cut some people. I mean, this is gonna be what
Speaker 1: it is. So they got to hit on these picks,
Speaker 1: and you've got higher picks up here, you might be
Speaker 1: able to make some moves. Trade around here and see
Speaker 1: what you can do. And by the way, Church, yes,
Speaker 1: Justin Fields look good, which means Justin Fields will not
Speaker 1: be there at the tenth overall picks. So you can
Speaker 1: stop to stop with Justin Field's dream Okay, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: done with the dream man, because, like I said, he
Speaker 1: looked amazing in that Clemsing game. He looked amazing out there.
Speaker 1: He wasn't just good. That boy was great. But anyways,
Speaker 1: like you said, he's gonna be gone. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: gone before we get a chance to pick him. I
Speaker 1: don't even think any of the top three he Fields,
Speaker 1: Lawrence or the kid from BYU, I don't think they're
Speaker 1: gonna be available for us to pick. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to sign Dak Prescott to some ridiculously huge deal,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna it's gonna kill our cat and it's
Speaker 1: gonna end up killing our defense unless Will McClay and
Speaker 1: those boys over that the scouting department hit on at
Speaker 1: least four of the seven draft picks, and they gotta
Speaker 1: be defenders and they gotta hit on at least four
Speaker 1: of them, or we're gonna be chasing eight and eight,
Speaker 1: nine and seven all over against. He got a first second,
Speaker 1: you got two threes. I'm not trying to hear it. Listen,
Speaker 1: Church on this, Justin Fields. I'm not gonna hate on
Speaker 1: the man. He looked very good Ohio State quarterbacks. History
Speaker 1: of them, I'm not sure how they do in the league.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you this. The Notre Dame fighting
Speaker 1: Irish did the exact that Clemson's defense. Remember that early
Speaker 1: in the year they did the same thing to that
Speaker 1: Clemson defense. So let's not like they was out there
Speaker 1: playing against world beaters. Clemson has has been shown up
Speaker 1: against the Notre Dame fighting Irish who got, like you said,
Speaker 1: trash by the Alabama Crimson Todd. All right, so justin Fields,
Speaker 1: he's still a nice player. I still wouldn't give him
Speaker 1: up for Dak Prescott. You know. Stephen Jones was on
Speaker 1: one oh five three the Fan today, the Cowboys official
Speaker 1: radio home here in Dallas foot Worth and emphasize once
Speaker 1: again that it is going to be Dak Prescott's team.
Speaker 1: He even spoke about wanting Andy Dalton back, but understanding
Speaker 1: that Andy knows it's daks team. And I don't think
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton will want to come back here, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: on another glow contract like that, he'll probably go someplace else.
Speaker 1: But the whole justin Fields thing, it's not gonna happen,
Speaker 1: nor should it happen. This is going to be about Dak.
Speaker 1: And then after you signed Dak, you got to figure
Speaker 1: out how do you maneuver contracts. Please get the contract
Speaker 1: done as quickly as you can, Jerry Jones, because the
Speaker 1: window is now open. The Cowboys can now start negotiating
Speaker 1: with Todd franz DA's agent. Now you cannot let this
Speaker 1: thing go all the way in April or June or July.
Speaker 1: They need to start signing some free agents in March.
Speaker 1: And they may not they may not need to sign
Speaker 1: them on Day one or two, but they need to
Speaker 1: be able to bring in some guys really at all
Speaker 1: three levels. If you're were for Honors, they need to
Speaker 1: bring in a defensive tackle free agency. They need to
Speaker 1: bring in a free agent safety. They need to bring
Speaker 1: in a free agent linebacker. I mean they do. They
Speaker 1: need guys, and you guys talked about some veterans. They
Speaker 1: need guys at all three levels. And depending on who
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator is, if this defensive coordinator could bring
Speaker 1: in some guys who have either played his assistant or
Speaker 1: he's coach, then that could help the Cowboys as well.
Speaker 1: They've got to fix this defense, fellas. And the only
Speaker 1: way you can do it is if you got Dak signed,
Speaker 1: because once you sign him, then you could give him
Speaker 1: a low contract the way they spread that bonus money
Speaker 1: out and you're not locked into thirty eight million dollars.
Speaker 1: So getting the Dak thing done to help fix your defense,
Speaker 1: that's that's really one goes with the other guys. Are
Speaker 1: are we all in agreements though that they need to
Speaker 1: throw a T and T bomb into the secondary room,
Speaker 1: or can we be in agreements on that? No one
Speaker 1: could cover Sterling Shepherd. No one could cover Sterling Shepherd
Speaker 1: out there, and we're going and there's no way anybody
Speaker 1: can convince me Sterling Shepherd is a top fifteen receiver
Speaker 1: in this league, maybe not even top twenty. And nobody
Speaker 1: can cover this guy. He had a shot at George Lewis,
Speaker 1: he had a shot at Anthony Brown, and he had
Speaker 1: a shot at tape On Diggs and could none of
Speaker 1: them hang with him? And he's not a top twenty receiver.
Speaker 1: So can we please be all in agreements here in
Speaker 1: the bay. Look, we need help in a secondary We
Speaker 1: need it badly. You need help. But I'm not blowing
Speaker 1: everything up. I gave you my guys the other day
Speaker 1: to them keep. Yes, he wants to keep the whole room. No,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's some guys. It's some guys that I
Speaker 1: would keep too. No. Yeah, I'm on your side. I
Speaker 1: would give rid of some guys. I think mainly you
Speaker 1: gotta get some new coaches and they're teaching some new stuff.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you can't get you gotta get rid of digs,
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. I told my guys that I'm keeping their
Speaker 1: Wilson and Diggs, the rest of them not going anywhere. Brown.
Speaker 1: Brown's locked in. The Brown's locked in as a contract.
Speaker 1: But as we've seen, so Darren's not going anywhere. I mean,
Speaker 1: here's another guy who's not me, you know, So, so
Speaker 1: you do need I'm talking about guys that that that
Speaker 1: play like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Woods is gone,
Speaker 1: Woods is gone. Okay, Woods is gone. D Lewis is gone.
Speaker 1: You know, those guys that would not bring back you know.
Speaker 1: So so we're basically that's basically throwing it in the grenade.
Speaker 1: Yeah to me, because I agree with Yeah, I'm starting
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I agree okay, yeah yeah, but
Speaker 1: but we yeah, I mean we all. I thought we
Speaker 1: all said that, you know the last the previous show.
Speaker 1: You know those guys are those guys are okay, yeah
Speaker 1: and yes and so so yeah, you go ahead and
Speaker 1: you know you're you're going to fit. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. Signing a free agent safety, and I think
Speaker 1: signing if free and safety to go along with Donovan Wilson.
Speaker 1: You know, vettering guy. So that's what I'm talking about. Brown,
Speaker 1: I said the other day, Brown, Brown is my number
Speaker 1: three corner. Is good. I'd like to get another number,
Speaker 1: you know, another starting corner in there alongside Dicks. That's
Speaker 1: thinking about a veteran guy, a veteran guy, a veteran
Speaker 1: and even you know, using a draft pick on a
Speaker 1: guy's who I mean. So, so that's where I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: And then of course the D line has to get
Speaker 1: better because the back does not work without the front.
Speaker 1: This front's not doing anything to scare anybody, to pressure anybody.
Speaker 1: So of course these guys you're taking guys who are
Speaker 1: ready not good. Now there no pressure on them. They
Speaker 1: getting torched. That's what you're getting. That's why you make
Speaker 1: a sterling sharp look like you know, Jerry Rice Junior.
Speaker 1: That's why I can't. I can't. I can't emphasize enough
Speaker 1: of why Mike Nolan needs to go and they need
Speaker 1: to bring in a whole group of staff to teach,
Speaker 1: because this is what happens when you're as bad as
Speaker 1: they are. A giant team that couldn't score twenty points
Speaker 1: upon weeks upon weeks rolls up twenty in the first
Speaker 1: half it's tough. It's tough. There are there can be
Speaker 1: better days ahead. And that's the one thing I hope
Speaker 1: Cowboy fans take out of this. It can't you can
Speaker 1: fix this. It can get fixed. It's not it's not
Speaker 1: a dire situation. Look, I'm glad you said that because
Speaker 1: I wanted to end the show off with one last,
Speaker 1: one last thing to church man. Listen for next year,
