Gentlemen, are we doing today? I want 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:03.600 me to go first. Many y'all know how i'm feeling. Man. 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.559 Y'all y'all know how i'm feeling. I'm highly disappointed right now. 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.120 But hey, you know, you know what it is, man, 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.320 It happens. It happens to the best of us. Man. 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.880 So I'm ready, man, I'm waiting for y'all to go ahead. Back, 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.240 Let's go ahead and start this thing off. Listen ahead, man, listen. 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.000 Let me tell you something. I'm not happy that the 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.240 Cowboys didn't win, because I did pick them to win, 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.960 you know, following no Tradamas again, I don't. I don't 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.039 know how I let them convince me again. I just 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.119 didn't want to lose to him. But you know, I'm 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:33.880 not happy that they lost. You know, I'm kind of 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.959 wishing they were in the playoffs. But you know, me 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:37.720 and my guy knew, he knew he wasn't gonna happen. 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.520 So I'm glad I was right, and I get a 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.160 free meal out of this. So listen, all is good 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:49.040 this week. You know, Church, I'm not gonna jump on you, man, 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.000 I'm not. I'm not. I'm not gonna do it. I'm 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.960 not because this is bigger than you, Church, this is 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.040 bigger than you. I mean you you tried to have 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:02.560 TV true believerism. That's what you tried to have. And 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.280 it comes from It's a line that comes from the 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:09.960 movie Primary Colors, and it was basically based loosely off 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.519 Bill Clinton's life. And the guy jumps on board the campaign. 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.720 It is played by it by John Travolta. The guy's 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.160 name is Jack Stanton, so he joins Governor Jack Stanton 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.640 and then he's he's sitting there here believing. You know, 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.800 the speech he's like, yeah, man, he was talking about 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.560 Uncle Charlie's and then the consultant looks at him and says, oh, 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.840 you got TV's like what you got true believers? You 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.680 believe everything that candidate says. You believe every message, you 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.399 believe every story, and he just lets him know, Hey, man, look, 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.000 it's just not the way it is. And Church, you 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.600 tried to have true believers and what the Cowboys are 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.840 doing down the stretch and you were thinking that Mike 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.120 McCarthy was going to turn around and did the deepen 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.320 you tried to and that's that's okay, man, But at 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.119 the end of the day, to me, and I'm gonna 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:53.760 ask you both this question because this is one of 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:58.280 the biggest things that I had here. Who did Mike 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.320 Nolan's defensive scheme make better? Name me one or two 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:06.000 players that this scheme made better for the Dallas Cowboys 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:10.600 this year? Who go ahead, Danny? I mean, hey, I'm 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.480 in last place, so I'm gonna go ahead and get 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.200 the floor to y'all. First man, well, yeah, we'll listen up, 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.440 hold on noise before before we get to that, I'm 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.399 gonna hop on Church for whatever, because what he did 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.080 to us last week when he got that dub, he 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.000 went on for about fifteen minutes about how we don't 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.560 hop on the bandwagon. I told y'all, I don't want 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.760 to hear nothing about this next week. I can't wait. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.200 I'm getting to say with some lobster and I don't 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.160 want to hear nothing NEWI Danny, y'all been flip flopping 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.640 all this other stuff going on Twitter, talking to all crazy. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.680 This was very Church. Last week he had his NFC 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.920 East Championship. Had all said this, wettll get another one? Hey, Church, 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.160 where's that bottle of kool a that that you had? 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:57.080 Did you finish this? Empty? Man? It's empty man? Water 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:01.720 is empty water, I mean, they said. I guess they 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.360 didn't smash the water moons before that game. I don't know. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.720 But Church, I want to tell you this, man, I 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.760 feel bad for you. And as soon as the pandemic 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.480 is over in these vaccines start flying out, I will 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.840 meet you at Nick and Sam's that's on Maple right 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.880 there in Uptown, and we sit at the bar and 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:23.720 we just order up a bunch of stuff. All right, 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.520 don't you don't you worry about it? Man, I'm gonna 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.440 take care of you. I'm gonna take care of you, 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.359 but I'll make sure the tab don't go too high 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.279 because I know at least I can get a stake 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.240 in lobster, because that's what you said you was gonna get. 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:35.719 So I know I can at least get that with 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.440 the heavy butther am I able to respond? And am 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.840 I able to respond to this newie? And can I can? 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.480 I cannot respond? Man. First, I'm gonna I'm gonna do 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.039 that first point. Man, You're gonna have to catch me 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:54.760 first if you want that nicka SAMs. Second. Man, look, man, second, 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.840 I'm highly disappointed. And this is what happens, man, when 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:03.960 I take nickname away, when I take nicknames away from people, 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.040 and I and I and I give and I bought 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.000 them up. I put him up on a pedestal, man, 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.400 because because you know what, that's what happened to me 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.480 and my boy the red rifle. I'm not gonna take 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.080 it away. I'm not gonna give him pistol. I'm not 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.760 gonna do that to the man because he put us 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.599 in the position to even get to this point. So 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.479 I'm not gonna take the nickname away from him. But boy, 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.600 do I realize now why he's up out of Cincinnati. 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.080 I mean, look, man, the first five years of his 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:29.919 career up there, there was a reason they went to 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.560 the playoffs. But when he got to that big moment 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.920 and and everything was on the line, I mean, he 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.960 folded like Oregami. And the same thing happened this afternoon 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.120 or last afternoon against New York Giants. I mean, the 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:43.920 man looked he looked bad out there. He didn't look 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:45.960 as bad as the new chief, but he looked bad. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.760 And I'm not gonna sit there and say he had 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.200 no protection. He was getting killed because he wasn't. There 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.040 was times when he had time to throw the ball 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.679 and he was just missing his receivers out there, and 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.200 it ended up casting us in the end. It ended 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.320 up casting us to our guy, that ship that's supposed 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.520 to lead this team to victory. He just didn't show up. 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.960 And that's what happened in this game, and we were 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.120 able to go ahead and go home. Man, And it hurts, man, 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.039 it hurts me to my soul. But da, that's what 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.400 I get for, you know, for backing them boys. That's 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.600 what happened. He looked especially bad in the first half, 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.080 the first half of the ball was all over the place. 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.600 I couldn't get what was going on. Um, but you know, 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.000 like you said, you gave him his red rifleing and 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.760 you know he let you down. So I'll find you 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.000 he did. I'll find you. Don't worry. I'm gonna find 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.040 new It too. And listen, listen, Church, You're not the 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:35.839 only one who old meals around here, all right, So 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.640 I'm not gonna let since new It didn't really want 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.400 to go in on you like that. I gotta I 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.080 gotta take a jab at him to you owe me 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.080 some food as well, since you're gonna let Church off 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.919 the hook after he went so hard on your last week, 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.600 so hard, but you want to be the bigger person 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.880 I got. It's a new year. It's a new year. See, 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.359 I'm older. I'm older than you, guys. I've seen this 0:06:55.520 --> 0:07:00.360 story so much. Okay, I've seen this so much. You know, 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.880 it's like going to watch an Adam Sandler movie and 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.200 you leave there and you're like, man, it was a 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.120 bad movie. But I could have told it's gonna be bad. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.720 It's what it is. Um. You know I said that 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.000 Washington was gonna win ultimately, that all of it wouldn't 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.520 matter that Washington would win this game in Philadelphia not 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.400 only delivered it, they tanked the game away, so it 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.440 would have been you know, I'm looking at this thing. Hey, fine, 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.040 the Giants one, Cowboys got the tenth pick in the draft. 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.800 I'm good with that. Um, you know, more so than 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:32.160 just the disappointment of yesterday, because we've seen this a bunch. Okay, 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.000 I've seen this a bunch with the Cowboys. I want 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.120 to go look at what you know, not so much 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.560 what was. To me, It's about what will be. What 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.400 needs to happen is you got fire defensive Cordat, got 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:46.280 a fire defensive coordinad Tell you, right, who did that 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:52.680 scheme make better? Who? And right now I can't. I 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.240 can't name anybody, right, I can't name anybody. So if 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.680 your scheme didn't make anybody better, you gotta go. And 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.160 you're in the New York Giants teenage struggling to score 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.200 twenty points week after week they get twenty in the 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.679 first half. This guy's gotta gold. He's got a gold. 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.280 Knew it, man, I'm missing I missed the time for 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.400 a perfect joke. Asked that question one more time, and 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.480 I give you answer, Ask that question one more time. 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.960 Who did this Keith make better every offense that we 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.400 played against, that's that's that's what they made. And Tonio 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.440 Gibson came through here and ran through. Baker Mayfield came 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.319 up to him, old deal with throwing a touchdown. Listen, 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:36.400 if you name an offense besides maybe the Pittsburgh Stillers, 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.800 they came in here and they hear record days on us. 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:44.360 So yes, everybody that we played against, right, and and 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:45.960 and so for me, when I think about your what 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:50.120 will be? You know your you know, Mike McCarthy's buddy 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.120 has to go. Okay, you tried the friend thing. It 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:57.800 didn't work. And not just him, It's gonna be coaches, 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.440 positional coaches on the defensive side of the football too. 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.080 You want to tell me these linebackers got better with 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.319 this new linebacker coach because they didn't. Okay, they look 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:13.600 at the secondary, look at the quarterbacks, safeties. Was anybody 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.840 teaching I mean, you guys played the position. I don't 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.000 feel like anybody was being taught back there. You got 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.680 dudes looking around, well, you know, it was terrible. So 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.480 your secondary positions got to go. D line. This was 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.680 the d line any good at all. And I understand 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.720 they head injuries, but still we've never seen I've never 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.800 seen okay, I've never seen their cowboy defense in line 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.400 so bad, being gashed so much. Um, it was a 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.160 bad scheme. So if you're going to legitimately bringing a 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.479 new coordinator, as I believe they should, that new coordinator 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.679 shouldn't be allowed to bring it to people who can 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.440 implement his type of defense and coach the way he wants. 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.480 And this whole thing where Mike was trying to use 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.920 his scapegoat thing of hey, man's a whole bunch of 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:57.880 new coaches and were just trying to figure each other out, 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.720 and there's no continuity amongst us, and we still learn 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.880 each other. I want to hear that bull job because 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.920 Cleveland did it, Washington did it. Yeah, I want to hear. 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.959 I'm gonna hear. You gotta fix his defense. I mean, 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.920 even this needs to be priority one, Dak Prescott's priority two. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.320 To me, the defense is number one because if you 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.920 signed Dak Prescott, if you bring back like Nolan, I'm sorry, 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.560 it's gonna be what he was when he left. You're 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.040 gonna have to win games and shootouts. You got to 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.720 fix this defense and it starts with the cord of defense. 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.880 Go aheady, Matt, Yeah, I don't. I don't like that 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.600 excuse of the coaches are new and you know, working 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.400 together and all this other stuff, didn't get a chance 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.920 to really know each other. Me and Barry can go 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.680 out right now to a high school team and we 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:43.080 can input cover two, Cover three, and cover four without 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:47.040 ever having to meet or talk one on one to 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.079 teach how we want the safety is the player of 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.120 the corners to play, and we can get these players 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.280 to play that defense now when it comes like making 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.120 tackles and doing all that stuff, I don't know. But 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.640 as far as getting them to learn the basic scheme 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.240 of cover one, Cover two, three, we could do that 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.720 without any meeting. And we've never coached. These guys have 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.760 been coaching. When you see the secondary out there blowing 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.520 simple stuff like cover flour and Cover three, that is 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.080 not on the fact that the coaches haven't been able 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.560 to work together. This is just specifically the individual coaching, 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:21.160 in my opinion, So that excuse doesn't fly with me. Yeah, 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.319 I think you're totally right about that one. I mean, 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.440 it can't it can't fly that our defensive coaches, especially 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.200 in the secondary, because that's what I look at most 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.120 when I'm watching the games. I look at the secondary 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.959 and for those amount of times that we've seen busted 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.360 coverages or simple coverages like Danny said, cover three or 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.120 cover two and guys just aren't getting their hands on them, 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:40.800 the jam at the line of scrimmage. I mean, these 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.439 are these are you know, elementary type things that you 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.000 should learn in high school and you just find tune 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.360 them as you get older. But to go into the 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.160 NFL and being cover three and let a guy just 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.320 run right by you, We've seen that too many times. 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.400 Too many times busted coverages are linebackers. I mean, do 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.840 we have to go back to that Baltimore game toward 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.480 You've seen our linebackers look dazed and confused, and that 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.760 was just one of plenty examples of our linebackers looking 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.200 confused out there. And then the D line. I mean, 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.840 I don't even know where to start with the D line. 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:12.959 It just seemed like we didn't get enough production out 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.400 of them, and it it didn't seem like they were beating 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.960 one on one blocks enough and it just didn't seem 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.280 like they knew Mike Nolan's system to stop the run. 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.800 And to me, it's got to start at the top, 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.840 and Mike Nolan's the top right now. He's a right, 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:25.320 He's the top of the DC right now. I think 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.080 we have to let him go. And like you said, 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:28.760 now we got to bring in a new guy that 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.600 has his own guys come in and implement his game planning, 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.840 his philosophy on this defense. And I think that's the 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.520 only way we get better because it's gonna be hard 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.480 to hit on each in every draft pick we do defensively, 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:39.960 it's gonna be hard to hit on all of them. 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:41.800 So we're gonna have to have a good coach to 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.080 back that up. And I just don't think Mike Nolan's 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:48.280 it in church and church, let me hype you up 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.960 a little bit, just just a little bit. I believe 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.760 that you may be on the sude with this novel 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.240 gallop more thing. All right, He's he's made enough splash 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.880 plays this season and this spots, you know, in a 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.040 opportunities that he's had, He's made enough splash plays to 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.640 where I think if you get a good defensive coaching 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.400 staff around him, good d line coach and a scheme 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.800 that fits what he like does the best. I think 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.239 that you may be I don't know about a superstar, 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.120 but he could be the next main state in the 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.440 Dallas Cowboys defensive line. When you look at a Nevin 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.880 Gallimore and Tristan Hill, these are guys who can help you. 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.640 You know that you're gonna need a rotation of guys. Okay, 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.440 And so there's two guys who are are controlled costs, 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.760 because that's another thing you got, especially if they signed 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.600 Dak Prescott. You're going to need controlled costs with guys there, 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.800 and maybe you spend some money on a legitimate, big 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.840 time free agent upfront. Maybe you even invest the top 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.440 three draft pick in one up there as well, you know, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.079 beef it up. But they've got to make some improvements. 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.920 But guys, you and I both know, unless you get 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.040 some coaches in here and get some teaching, it really 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.240 won't matter who you put up front. If guys out 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.760 here confused and they're not bought into what's going on. 0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.760 I mean, I think about you had Tank and ever 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.800 they didn't buy what was going on. Tank. Lawrence today 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.440 spoke to the media. He didn't exactly give out a 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.760 ringing endorseing a Mike Nolan, nor should he, Nor should 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.880 he Your twenty million dollars a year player was not 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.520 put in the position that he needed to be put in, 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.080 and that, to me is shameful. At the end of 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.160 the day, your job as a coach is to cover 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.120 up the wards. If anything, Mike Nolan exposed wards and 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:27.600 poured alcohol on the damn thing. It was embarrassing. I 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:32.040 just can't sit here and express to you enough of 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:36.000 just how offensive watching Mike Nolan's defense was this year 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.200 because of the way this guy was just so stubborn 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.880 and trying to make these guys play his scheme. And 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.080 I'm mad at the head coach because the head coach 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.160 lied to us because he said players over skiing, players 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.840 over skiing. No, your boy came in here, put it 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.720 in his scheme and told everybody you all need to 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.400 go figure it on out. And you know what, they 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.360 didn't figure it out. And by the time they did 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.320 figure it out, it was against some bad teams. And 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:58.680 then Mike was trying to sit up here in cover 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:00.600 for his boy Nolan, and they trying to act like, oh, 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.280 we're good, We're good. No, it was a game you 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:03.920 had to win against the New York Giants, and that 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.680 defense came out there game twenty damn points and a 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.640 must game listen, and it should have been more because 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.400 j G had he called he called the hick of 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.320 the game, and you had Ivan Ingram out there dropping 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.080 all type of passes and and Danny Downs was missing stuff. 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.840 But Evan Ingram, he dropped two passes that that probably 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.120 would have continued drives and put more points on the 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.600 board for the Giant. So it could have been a 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.840 lot worse. Yeah, it could have been a lot worse. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.040 And look, I think you know, I know, Mike know what, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.280 He's done a terrible job. I will say that he's 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.480 done a bad job as a defensive coordinator for our 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.520 team this year. But we're also gonna have to get 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.200 some better players. Now, I mean, those guys they weren't 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:44.680 out there, you know what I'm saying. It wasn't like 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.360 they were lighting it up out there as well. I mean, 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.800 I know the scheme was bad, but sometimes you know, 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.960 if you're that good, you're getting paid that much, sometimes 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.160 you got to overcome the scheme. And a lot of 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.000 those players they weren't able to do that. So I mean, 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.680 we do need some better players as well on the 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.120 defensive side of the ball. As this says, defend it's 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:01.880 the coordinator. Can you get out here and tell some 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.680 guys that they need to play a little bit better? 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.720 Or can somebody somebody tell Jay Len and man, stop 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.760 all this swiping, bro, the need to start. Just just 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.000 cut the swiping out. I mean, can somebody least to 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.760 tell man, this just doesn't look good. It doesn't it. 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.440 I mean, nobody's say anything at all. Many knew it. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:22.560 Checked the tape, man, just check the I guess the 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:29.920 honor ain't tripping, right, ain't tripping? I mean, wow, oh man, look, 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.320 you know people pile on Jalen and I get it. 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.440 But just just some of the things w I'm looking 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.680 at as a coach. Does somebody that I mean, you 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.320 guys played the game. Does somebody not come and tell 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.320 you in the film? Rule? And what are we doing? 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.880 I mean, somebody being held accountable? Is it about a 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.560 lotody say, hey, man, his teammates should have told should 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.240 have been told him that they should they should have 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.720 told him that after the communal commercial. But listen, do 0:16:55.880 --> 0:17:00.320 you think that a like I think at least two 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.040 of the three levels of the defense, secondary, linebacker, or 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:08.119 defensive line. I think you've seen like the disadvantage of 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:13.159 not having a true veteran player with veteran leadership in 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.240 those rooms, because if you look at the secondary, there's 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.879 not a true veteran leader in the secondary, there's not 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.440 a true veteran leader. In the linebacker room. It was 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:28.600 Sean Lee, but he missed almost the entire season. Yeah. 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.879 Then on the D line you got Tank Lawrence and 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.720 you got who was at Alton Smith as the leaders 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:35.879 in that one. But two out of the three you 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:37.680 don't even have veteran leaders out there. And you see, 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.840 those were two of the three that were really really 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.640 struggling throughout the year. Danny, let me let me hop 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.240 on your point, because I had someone else tell me 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:51.000 this who worked in the NFL when when they went 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.439 to a different team and they brought their defensive scheme, 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.359 they ended up bringing a player at each level from 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.800 their former team who where they went to and they 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.639 said it helped out. And then that staff ended up 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:06.800 moving on again and they didn't do it at the 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.280 next stop, and it hurt them, it hurt her. And 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:11.840 I'll give you some of them. I'll give you some 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:13.080 of the names in the break. I don't want to 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:14.879 put it out here just because because I don't have 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:16.760 permission to put it out to them. But I'll tell 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:18.639 you in the break who exactly I'm talking about? All right? 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.760 When we come back talking about what will be for 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.840 this six and ten Cowboys team, what will be Kellen 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.760 Moore's Backlets dive into three year contracts extension that the 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.040 Jones family gave him to keep him from coaching at 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.199 Boys State right here on the players launch Body by 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.840 Hotels dot Com on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

You back here in the players 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:58.920 are brought to you by Hotels dot Com. I'm NEWI 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:03.200 scrugs look Cowboy Reporter, joined by two former Dallas Cowboys players, 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:08.240 Barry Church and Danny mccraig. Fellas when you were also 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:10.439 talking about this, you know, not having guys who can 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:13.119 help teach your system some veterans. I go back to 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:17.119 the first year I covered Phil Jackson's Laker team in 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:20.320 LA ended up within the championship he brought it John Sally. 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.600 Sally was with the Bulls on a championship team, and 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.600 John Sally's job was to teach Shaquille O'Neil to triangle 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.040 and understand exactly what Phil wanted from it, and then 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:31.320 they brought in Ron Harper. Ron Harper was out there 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.000 teaching Kobe Bryant exactly what Phil wanted and how they 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:35.760 wanted to go about things. And so, you know, you 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:37.800 need when you're trying to implement these scheme, you need 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:40.520 some people who will understand it. And I guess Aldon 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:43.840 Smith was the only dude who understood it. And by 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:46.720 the way, Alton Smith even on the team the last 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:49.920 quarter of the season, because I barely saw make any plays. 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:52.240 But there were just so many mistakes that were made. 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:54.119 And I thought Mike McCarthy, you know, he was supposed 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:55.639 to be up in that barn in Wisconsin that had 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:59.439 this big old plan about everything he was gonna do. Man, 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:01.880 I'm wondering if I wandered, Man, was that just a lie? 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.280 What y'all really do every week? Because man, I'm just 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.320 I'm just disappointed. As the Cowboys finished up here six 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:10.800 and ten. But Kellen Moore's back. Okay. Over the weekend, 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:12.520 I found out you guys have sent me the text. 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:14.439 I can't remember what I was doing, but I got 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:16.840 the text for you guys, said Kellen Moore's back three 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:20.840 year contract extension not taking the job at Boys State. 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.840 Troy Aitman basically set on the broadcast that Kellen was 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:25.879 offered the job and took it, and then somehow that 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:28.640 Jones has got to him at WAILA, here's Kellen Moore 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.000 back in a move we had seen the Cowboys make before. 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:37.280 Sean Payton was offered the Raider job and somehow Jerry 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.600 convinced Sean not to take that job, and he gave 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.919 him a million dollars raised. Mike Zimmer was his coordinator 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.560 and they convinced him not to take the Nebraska head 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:48.000 coaching job, gave him a million dollars. So this is 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:52.040 not something that we haven't seen Jerry do before. Jason 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:55.480 Garrett offered the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Raiding's job, the 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.720 job that John Harbaugh has. Now they paid him three 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:01.800 million bucks at Karate and Stay. So this is a 0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:07.920 mood that Jones have tried before. Um two times. You know, 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:10.359 they saved themselves because you know, look at what Zimmer 0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:12.520 and and Peyton have become as far as head coaches, 0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:14.680 and and they gave the job at JG and and 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:16.480 j G did win an NFL Coach of the Year. 0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:18.960 So they have had some success doing it. Go ahead 0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:21.840 and McCrae. So who was calling plays yesterday? Was it 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.080 was it killing? You guys believe Killing Moore was calling 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:29.439 players yesterday? It was Kelling Moore? So how many times? 0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:32.480 How many times the Andy Dalton? Because I said this 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:36.520 before the game. If Andy Dalton, if they have Andy, 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:38.359 dont come out here and try to throw the ball 0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:41.440 all around the field and not get the ball to Zeke, 0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.399 we are going to lose. I think Andy Dalton threw 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:48.720 the ball forty seven times yesterday, forty seven. It was 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:58.359 Zeke had forty and if he had Russias Man and Russia? 0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:04.399 How many how many targets did nineteen get yesterday? I mean, 0:24:04.720 --> 0:24:08.360 we could we could do this all year. It's been 0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:12.240 the same thing all year. You go out here playing 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.600 the New York Football Giants, all right, and you give 0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:17.880 Zeke about fourteen times, tell Andrew Dalton to go out 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:19.560 there and throw at forty seven and the expect to win. 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:24.040 That's why that's why you lost. That is the top 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:27.520 reason why you lost. I just you know, I just 0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:30.120 don't understand, man, I don't get it. Man. How many 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:32.879 times this year have we thrown the ball over forty 0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:35.120 times and it resulted in the l I mean, it's 0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:37.280 been too many times, so we're gonna go into this 0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:40.560 last game. It's basically the playoffs. It's basically the playoffs 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:42.879 between a division rival. You got the Giants over there, 0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:46.080 you're visiting them. It's cold outside, the elements are not 0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:49.080 in your favor to throw the ball. But yet we 0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:52.680 go out there and throw the ball forty seven times. 0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:55.840 Forty seven times in the ball game where we were 0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:57.960 never down more than what I think we were down 0:24:58.000 --> 0:24:59.840 at the most. Was it was a twenty to seven 0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:03.639 one time or was it twenty oo? There was twenty 0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:10.160 seven nine targets. Finally Cooper had nine targets. Cobrat nats. 0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.320 That's decent. Why are we throwing the ball forty seven times? 0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:15.399 I understand Zeke had a calf issue and all that, 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:18.000 but you got Tony Pollard there who two games before 0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:20.280 that had one of the most explosive games he's ever had, 0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:22.680 So why are we throwing the ball that much? I 0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:25.800 just don't understand. This is not the Mountain West, this 0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:28.040 is the NFL. This is not Madden. You can't just 0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:30.119 go out there and throw the ball one hundred billions 0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:32.840 of times and become one dimensional. We're not that good 0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:34.960 at the quarterback position, and we're not that good as 0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.720 a team overall. To just be one dimensional and throw 0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:39.760 the ball over the yard like we're Tampa Bay or 0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:41.639 like we're somebody, or we're the Chiefs or something like that. 0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:45.520 We're just not that good. Our defense. Our defense actually 0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:48.560 took the ball away and gave us short fields. And 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:51.560 what did we do? We settled for three points. I 0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:54.840 just to me, it's just I don't understand why they 0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:57.560 gave him the bag and why he continues to play 0:25:57.600 --> 0:25:59.359 it like this is Madden or this is Mountain West 0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:01.320 where they throw them all over the place. I don't 0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:03.320 think we'll be successful if we do that. Maybe we 0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:05.320 get a new implement a new game plan next year 0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:07.640 when we get all our gays healthy and back, But overall, 0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:09.720 I just think it was not a smart game plan 0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:11.639 and it didn't and the game didn't dictate us to 0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:13.440 throw the ball forty seven times. It ain't like we 0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:16.000 were down in an immense margin where we couldn't battle 0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:18.520 back with the run game as well. I just don't 0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:21.439 understand that Kellen don't get in church, church, Church, clearing 0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:24.720 up hold on Mary Cooper getting nine out of forty 0:26:24.760 --> 0:26:30.000 seven targets. It's not okay, it's not okay. You threw 0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:33.440 the ball forty seven times. You got one hundred million 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:36.000 dollar guy out there who was clearly your best route 0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:39.560 runner and best playmaker, and you target him nine out 0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:43.080 of the forty seven. Makes absolutely no sense. And then 0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:44.920 we got eighty eight, who had a he had a 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:49.080 nice season, but we got another opportunity with him getting 0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:52.359 the ball in a big time situation. This time he 0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:54.760 dropped it the last The last time, it was like 0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:57.399 fourth to three, he runs a two yard route and 0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:00.960 get stopped on fourth down. Get the ball to night team, Like, 0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:04.320 it's not that difficult if you're going to lose. Lose 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.120 with nineteen and twenty one now when Andy's don't throwing 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:09.080 a ball forty seven times, and not with twenty one 0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:11.359 having fourteen carres. That ain't the way that you end 0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:14.399 the season. No, no excuse. And you know what happened. 0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.159 Kellen Moore went out there and he tried to outdo 0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:19.920 Jason Gear and then he got outdone by Jason Geart 0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:22.000 and that's all he end up throwing about forty seven times. 0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:24.680 Don't make no sense. Jason Garrett did what he didn't 0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:26.359 he did. He did exactly what we said he was 0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:29.800 gonna do. Run the ball the government don't matter what 0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.639 he did. They were going to continue to give a 0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:37.200 ball to God was a government. And Alpha Moore, It's like, so, 0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:41.720 I mean you got you got out done. Fuck I 0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:44.320 had I had somebody in the building tell me that, 0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:49.240 you know, the Joneses really like Kellen Moore with that 0:27:49.440 --> 0:27:53.560 same passion that they liked Jason when he was calling plays, 0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:57.440 and that that same passion that when Sean Payton called plays, 0:27:57.560 --> 0:27:59.920 And there's just this whole belief to make sure that 0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:03.760 they never allowed another Sean Payton to get out of 0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:09.879 the building. That's social might be worried, might be worried. No, no, 0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:12.320 I don't think he should be worried. But just you know, 0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:14.720 they want to make sure that they do not lose 0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:17.520 the offensive mind, that they do not end up the 0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:21.160 way Daniel Snyder has ended up. That he had once 0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:26.159 had Sean McVeigh and Kyle Shanahan in the building and 0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:28.960 they got away. So I'm just telling you this is 0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:30.560 what I was told when I asked for just hey, 0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:32.000 then give me some more, you know, give me some 0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:36.920 more insights on and MC. We've seen it. We've seen 0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:39.960 this story play out before. We've seen it play out 0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:42.840 before our rookie year. Man, we were scoring about ten 0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:46.320 points a game for the first six games. Wasn't really 0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:49.040 going that well. All of a sudden there's a coaching change, 0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:51.320 and then all of a sudden, we're scoring thirty points 0:28:51.360 --> 0:28:54.240 a game. I mean, the offense exploded. So we've seen 0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:57.040 this story happen before. Man, I'm just saying, big Mike, 0:28:57.440 --> 0:29:00.800 keep your head on the swivel. Listen, listen, and before 0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:02.440 we go out to break, because I want you to 0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:05.600 think about this. And somebody answered for me because I 0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:08.720 asked it before. I wanted to know, what is Mike 0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:12.720 McCarthy's job description?

You know 0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:46.719 what they need to throw some eighty six jerseys in there, 0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:50.880 because Dalton Schultz had himself won foe season for a 0:32:50.960 --> 0:32:54.880 guy who was a backup player, Blake Jarwin gets hurt 0:32:54.960 --> 0:32:58.200 the first game. That young man had a very good season, 0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:01.800 had seven catches seventy yards yesterday. So Dalts and Schultz, 0:33:01.880 --> 0:33:04.160 I salute you had a heck of a year. I 0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:06.440 did not see that coming did not see that coming 0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:13.600 down us. We we all were in agreement that the 0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:15.760 lights might be too bright for mister Schultz, and uh 0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:18.280 he proved us all wrong. So good for him. Yeah, 0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:23.160 that's a big time real quickly on this. Quought him good. Yeah, 0:33:23.480 --> 0:33:26.520 should should Should Jarwin be penciled into the start as 0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:28.360 a starter or is there going to be a competition? 0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:35.720 He should still start Jarwin? Yeah, he should, he should 0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:37.720 still get to start. I mean they're probably gonna run 0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:39.360 a lot a couple of I mean a lot of two. 0:33:39.440 --> 0:33:41.320 Tight End said, well, I don't know what Kella's gonna run. 0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:42.840 I'm not gonna say you never know what Keller more, 0:33:42.920 --> 0:33:47.600 you never know, you never know. I mean the thing 0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:50.360 that I and you guys know this from playing. Um 0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:52.960 you know, you come back a year after the ACL, 0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:56.160 it's a little different. So um. If anything, they've got 0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:59.160 the opportunity to have to tight End to know the 0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:02.959 system and understand what to do. And so I think 0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:05.120 if you're the Cowboys, that you're in a really good position. 0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.840 They may want to upgrade from a blocking tight end 0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:10.239 standpoint and see if they can do you know, improve there, 0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:13.040 or maybe Sean McKinnon, the kid from Michigan, is a 0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:15.680 little bit stronger and better with a full offseason next year. 0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:17.200 But they definitely needed to get any more of a 0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:20.600 blocking tight end than those twelve personnel packages. But you 0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:22.680 at least know you've got two guys who can catch 0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:27.080 the football at that position, and you can most likely 0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:30.600 leave it alone draft weekend. That's my thought process. That's 0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:32.799 one area of the football team that I don't think 0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:34.960 that they need to necessarily dive into and say, hey, 0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:36.960 we need to address this. I think they're going to 0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:39.239 be pretty good there. I like three tight ends they have. 0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:40.960 If you want to add Blake Bell or bring him back, 0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:44.560 that could possibly before. So I like the position, the 0:34:44.600 --> 0:34:47.480 positional strength there. The Danny you're asking before, Okay, what 0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:52.919 does Mike McCarthy do that? Not challenging that Pettis catch 0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:55.320 that what I'm watching the game, you know, I was like, 0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:57.799 Danny's in my head right now, Danny's in what are 0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:01.640 you doing? And then to here. But the lame bull 0:35:01.800 --> 0:35:06.160 jive excuse afterwards that no, we thought saving the timeouts 0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:09.600 was important, like what what do you mean saving the timeout? 0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:17.640 I mean burn it. You're trumping man, you know. And 0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:20.480 if you at one point game and three, I mean yeah, man, 0:35:21.360 --> 0:35:23.400 And if you lose the if you lose the challenge, 0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:25.440 you still have the two minute, You still have the 0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:27.560 two minute as an extra time out. So I mean 0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:31.680 it's you're really not losing anything by losing that challenge. 0:35:31.719 --> 0:35:33.439 But you know, they get the field goal or whatever, 0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:35.080 but you're not losing a timeout. So I just don't 0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:37.800 understand why he didn't challenge it. But doesn't he have 0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:39.719 guys up in the booth that are supposed to say, 0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:41.400 you know what, hey, this this is a solid call 0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:43.680 to challenge or this is a I'm not sure about 0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:46.120 this one. Like, doesn't he have people to help him 0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:47.800 out do that? Like, I just don't understand why he 0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:50.959 didn't refer to them. See we were lying once again. Church. 0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:52.920 I go back to he was in the bar and 0:35:53.000 --> 0:35:54.919 doing all that right, had the whole staff around. I said, 0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:56.960 go bring a litical team. So he was supposed to 0:35:57.040 --> 0:35:59.279 have all this. He was supposed to bring all this 0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:01.960 to the cow. I'm bringing you all. You're all about 0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:08.040 to get all this info, all this No it's terrible. Listen, listen. 0:36:08.560 --> 0:36:10.600 I think I think that he did bringing those I 0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:13.560 think he brought those guys, and then you know, it's 0:36:13.600 --> 0:36:15.399 a it's a lot different when you're on the field 0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:16.959 and when when the versus when you're in the barn, 0:36:17.080 --> 0:36:19.560 all right and uh, and they got on the field, 0:36:19.600 --> 0:36:21.440 they couldn't do it. So I think a lot of 0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:24.880 times this year Mike McCarthy is tooking the bullet for 0:36:25.280 --> 0:36:27.480 some of the people that he brought here to help 0:36:27.600 --> 0:36:29.440 him out and do this analytics thing and help him 0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:31.960 try to run this team. But that excuse with the 0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:34.960 timeoutse and then talking about as a bank bank play, well, 0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:39.000 that's what the challenges for, right, because might miss it 0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:41.560 because it's a bank bank play. That's why you're supposed 0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:43.560 to use it. You're not supposed to use it when 0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:46.480 it's just only when it's clear and obvious. Now, if 0:36:46.560 --> 0:36:49.360 you think that they made the wrong call, you go 0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:53.320 out there and you challenge it. Ill we all everybody 0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:55.439 saw it. I mean I think everybody was watching the TV. 0:36:55.480 --> 0:36:58.200 Everybody's sitting on the sideline saw it. And one person 0:36:58.280 --> 0:37:02.040 didn't see it. So I mean, you now see, Danny, Danny, 0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:04.400 you bring up, bang bang play. I don't know about you, 0:37:04.560 --> 0:37:06.600 but years ago I thought there was a bang bang 0:37:06.680 --> 0:37:09.160 play at Lambeau Field where Dez Bryant, don't you do it? 0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:17.920 That looked like Ohn Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy threw out 0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:21.040 the challenge flag. So I'm just trying to think to myself. Man, 0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:24.040 at the time, in a game you were trying to win, 0:37:24.239 --> 0:37:26.719 you thought, bang bang play. I don't know, I'm not 0:37:26.760 --> 0:37:28.960 going to just let them get on down there and 0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:31.320 you know, get some get some position, and you know, 0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:33.719 he said, I'm gonna start, you know, use it up. 0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:36.879 I mean, I understand wanting to keep challenges and half 0:37:36.960 --> 0:37:40.360 time outs, but not in that situation. And you showed up. 0:37:40.360 --> 0:37:42.359 Saw what they did. They ran on out there real quick, 0:37:43.880 --> 0:37:46.320 because that should have been another telltale. That should have 0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:49.240 been another telltale right there, when when the special team's 0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:52.360 unit comes sprinting onto the field, it gets ready in 0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:55.319 record time to kick a field the red flags up, 0:37:55.400 --> 0:37:58.360 hold on, hold on, hold us red flag, hold on 0:37:58.520 --> 0:38:01.279 real quick. Man, there just too many signs out there, 0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:04.359 and my boy chos but Church to make it even worse, 0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:08.080 they went fast, but they didn't. They weren't doing like 0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:10.920 a may day situation. You had time sit there and 0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:13.040 seeing it making the decisions it was, you know, like 0:38:13.120 --> 0:38:15.560 the kicker still took its steps on to the side, 0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:17.680 picked the grass up, make sure it wasn't flooring, and 0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:20.239 didn't kick the ball. I mean you had time. We 0:38:20.360 --> 0:38:22.520 all had time in the question like what you know, 0:38:22.560 --> 0:38:24.040 are they gonna do it? I heard Aigman on the 0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:27.719 broadcast like, uh, I think they're waiting for Well, I 0:38:27.760 --> 0:38:30.799 guess they're not gonna do it. The confusion was all 0:38:30.880 --> 0:38:35.279 over the place, and and this goes in Taught Archer 0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:38.040 of ESPN dot com does an actual job covering to Cowboys. 0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:41.680 He wrote a piece about this up through all year long, 0:38:41.800 --> 0:38:45.919 the different game management questions you had about Mike McCarthy's, like, huh, 0:38:46.080 --> 0:38:48.000 what are you trying to do? I mean it started 0:38:48.040 --> 0:38:50.640 with the first game against the Rams where he decided 0:38:50.640 --> 0:38:52.279 they are gonna go for instead of kicking the field 0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:54.960 goal and make it twenty to twenty um. Also, it 0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:58.279 started game one, and so it started bad, it ended bad, 0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:00.520 and you just say, huh, I don't I don't understand. 0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:02.239 You're gonna sit up here and try and tell us 0:39:02.280 --> 0:39:03.960 that you know, at a four point game in the 0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:07.359 fourth quarter against Washington going for fake pun at your 0:39:07.360 --> 0:39:09.520 own twenty four yard line is good. You know. It's 0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:11.759 just so many things. And I have to say this, 0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:17.439 he's the worst game manager to Jason. Okay, and we all, 0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:20.560 there's a bunch of us. We all said, Man, with Jason, 0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:22.239 you can't get no worse. You know what, it got worse? 0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:24.359 Talk about the ride, Man, No, I can't get worse. 0:39:24.360 --> 0:39:28.080 You know it got worse. Can't get worse, you know it? Dude? 0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:30.600 Did it get better? I mean, there's just so many 0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:33.279 things about this season in six and ten that I 0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:36.400 just feel so let down about because I was booboooo 0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:38.560 fool out here drinking the kool aid talk about eleven 0:39:38.560 --> 0:39:40.480 to five season and Mike mccarton is gonna be so 0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:43.600 much better Jason Garrett and you just watch this guy. 0:39:43.840 --> 0:39:45.560 He was running out of Green Bay. He's gonna show you. 0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:47.279 He's gonna he's gonna be like Andy Reid was in 0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:51.080 Kansas City, bouncing back strong. No, I just look stupid, 0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:54.640 and I'm mad about looking stupid. He okay, mad I 0:39:54.719 --> 0:39:58.960 bought in. We got I got poetic. That's poetic. You 0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:01.840 know you know who sealed the stupidest feeling for you, 0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:05.239 Jason gear It ain't that something You went out there 0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:09.640 the last day and who sealed the faith? My man, 0:40:09.840 --> 0:40:14.160 JJ sealed the faith on man. Listen, I'm not now 0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:17.120 I'll tell you this. I'm not mad about that. Okay, 0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:20.560 I'm not mad about that. I mean, you guys know 0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:22.400 I was on I was on team take at the 0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:24.480 quarter end of the year. Give me a high draft 0:40:24.520 --> 0:40:26.760 pick as you camp, he goes going to the playoffs 0:40:26.800 --> 0:40:30.120 and get you know, going to the playoffs and getting 0:40:30.160 --> 0:40:32.080 worked over it. I mean that you know that. No 0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:35.040 to me, what I think? What do you ultimately want? Guys? 0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:37.279 You want a super Bowl? You know this. He'd be 0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:39.200 like Washington. This ain't gonna be no super Bowl team 0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:42.520 for Washington. Um. You know, so you made the playoffs, fine, 0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:45.360 but you're going home and even if you beat your miracle, 0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:46.959 wouldn't know it ain't gonna be a miracle win because 0:40:47.000 --> 0:40:49.279 they barely be Philadelphia. Only even gonna be philadelpic because 0:40:49.320 --> 0:40:54.080 Doug Peterson quit. Um, No, get yourself a high draft 0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:57.239 pick and try to use it traded maneuver it. I mean, 0:40:57.400 --> 0:41:00.600 this team needs to improve. And when once they signed 0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.760 Dak Prescott. I can't emphasize this, nut fellas. The draft 0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:07.440 picks are going to become something that they have to 0:41:07.840 --> 0:41:10.960 hit on, and it will become your the way you 0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:13.640 can keep prices down that you can afford. Because the 0:41:13.680 --> 0:41:15.439 Cowboys are darned. The're about to become one of those 0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:18.279 eighty twenty teams where twenty percent of the roster making 0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:20.920 an eighty percent of the cash. It's just gonna be 0:41:21.040 --> 0:41:23.880 what it is once you pay Dak and until you 0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:25.880 cut some people. I mean, this is gonna be what 0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:28.239 it is. So they got to hit on these picks, 0:41:28.239 --> 0:41:29.880 and you've got higher picks up here, you might be 0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:32.919 able to make some moves. Trade around here and see 0:41:32.960 --> 0:41:36.440 what you can do. And by the way, Church, yes, 0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:39.320 Justin Fields look good, which means Justin Fields will not 0:41:39.440 --> 0:41:42.120 be there at the tenth overall picks. So you can 0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:46.640 stop to stop with Justin Field's dream Okay, yeah, I'm 0:41:46.680 --> 0:41:48.719 done with the dream man, because, like I said, he 0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:51.960 looked amazing in that Clemsing game. He looked amazing out there. 0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:54.480 He wasn't just good. That boy was great. But anyways, 0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:56.600 like you said, he's gonna be gone. He's gonna be 0:41:56.680 --> 0:41:58.560 gone before we get a chance to pick him. I 0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:00.600 don't even think any of the top three he Fields, 0:42:00.840 --> 0:42:03.120 Lawrence or the kid from BYU, I don't think they're 0:42:03.160 --> 0:42:05.600 gonna be available for us to pick. So we're gonna 0:42:05.640 --> 0:42:09.399 have to sign Dak Prescott to some ridiculously huge deal, 0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:11.719 and it's gonna it's gonna kill our cat and it's 0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:14.480 gonna end up killing our defense unless Will McClay and 0:42:14.560 --> 0:42:17.440 those boys over that the scouting department hit on at 0:42:17.560 --> 0:42:20.040 least four of the seven draft picks, and they gotta 0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:21.920 be defenders and they gotta hit on at least four 0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:23.640 of them, or we're gonna be chasing eight and eight, 0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:27.439 nine and seven all over against. He got a first second, 0:42:27.520 --> 0:42:30.680 you got two threes. I'm not trying to hear it. Listen, 0:42:30.800 --> 0:42:33.120 Church on this, Justin Fields. I'm not gonna hate on 0:42:33.239 --> 0:42:38.720 the man. He looked very good Ohio State quarterbacks. History 0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:40.879 of them, I'm not sure how they do in the league. 0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:43.800 But I'm gonna tell you this. The Notre Dame fighting 0:42:43.920 --> 0:42:49.080 Irish did the exact that Clemson's defense. Remember that early 0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:51.440 in the year they did the same thing to that 0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:53.880 Clemson defense. So let's not like they was out there 0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:57.920 playing against world beaters. Clemson has has been shown up 0:42:57.960 --> 0:43:00.359 against the Notre Dame fighting Irish who got, like you said, 0:43:00.560 --> 0:43:04.440 trash by the Alabama Crimson Todd. All right, so justin Fields, 0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:06.920 he's still a nice player. I still wouldn't give him 0:43:06.960 --> 0:43:11.640 up for Dak Prescott. You know. Stephen Jones was on 0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:14.520 one oh five three the Fan today, the Cowboys official 0:43:14.600 --> 0:43:17.239 radio home here in Dallas foot Worth and emphasize once 0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:19.640 again that it is going to be Dak Prescott's team. 0:43:19.880 --> 0:43:22.960 He even spoke about wanting Andy Dalton back, but understanding 0:43:22.960 --> 0:43:25.600 that Andy knows it's daks team. And I don't think 0:43:25.680 --> 0:43:27.880 Andy Dalton will want to come back here, uh, you know, 0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:31.279 on another glow contract like that, he'll probably go someplace else. 0:43:31.840 --> 0:43:35.360 But the whole justin Fields thing, it's not gonna happen, 0:43:35.480 --> 0:43:37.759 nor should it happen. This is going to be about Dak. 0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:40.120 And then after you signed Dak, you got to figure 0:43:40.120 --> 0:43:44.520 out how do you maneuver contracts. Please get the contract 0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:46.480 done as quickly as you can, Jerry Jones, because the 0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:48.920 window is now open. The Cowboys can now start negotiating 0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:52.279 with Todd franz DA's agent. Now you cannot let this 0:43:52.440 --> 0:43:55.520 thing go all the way in April or June or July. 0:43:55.800 --> 0:43:59.160 They need to start signing some free agents in March. 0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:01.919 And they may not they may not need to sign 0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:04.239 them on Day one or two, but they need to 0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:06.799 be able to bring in some guys really at all 0:44:06.920 --> 0:44:09.239 three levels. If you're were for Honors, they need to 0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:11.320 bring in a defensive tackle free agency. They need to 0:44:11.360 --> 0:44:14.160 bring in a free agent safety. They need to bring 0:44:14.239 --> 0:44:16.160 in a free agent linebacker. I mean they do. They 0:44:16.239 --> 0:44:18.319 need guys, and you guys talked about some veterans. They 0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:20.879 need guys at all three levels. And depending on who 0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:23.799 the defensive coordinator is, if this defensive coordinator could bring 0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:25.880 in some guys who have either played his assistant or 0:44:25.960 --> 0:44:28.319 he's coach, then that could help the Cowboys as well. 0:44:28.440 --> 0:44:31.879 They've got to fix this defense, fellas. And the only 0:44:31.960 --> 0:44:34.240 way you can do it is if you got Dak signed, 0:44:34.560 --> 0:44:36.719 because once you sign him, then you could give him 0:44:36.760 --> 0:44:38.919 a low contract the way they spread that bonus money 0:44:38.920 --> 0:44:41.080 out and you're not locked into thirty eight million dollars. 0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:43.720 So getting the Dak thing done to help fix your defense, 0:44:43.719 --> 0:44:47.680 that's that's really one goes with the other guys. Are 0:44:48.760 --> 0:44:50.719 are we all in agreements though that they need to 0:44:50.760 --> 0:44:53.120 throw a T and T bomb into the secondary room, 0:44:54.080 --> 0:44:56.040 or can we be in agreements on that? No one 0:44:56.160 --> 0:44:59.600 could cover Sterling Shepherd. No one could cover Sterling Shepherd 0:44:59.640 --> 0:45:01.720 out there, and we're going and there's no way anybody 0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:04.400 can convince me Sterling Shepherd is a top fifteen receiver 0:45:04.520 --> 0:45:07.000 in this league, maybe not even top twenty. And nobody 0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:09.640 can cover this guy. He had a shot at George Lewis, 0:45:09.800 --> 0:45:11.520 he had a shot at Anthony Brown, and he had 0:45:11.520 --> 0:45:13.680 a shot at tape On Diggs and could none of 0:45:13.719 --> 0:45:15.800 them hang with him? And he's not a top twenty receiver. 0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:18.000 So can we please be all in agreements here in 0:45:18.000 --> 0:45:20.160 the bay. Look, we need help in a secondary We 0:45:20.280 --> 0:45:24.560 need it badly. You need help. But I'm not blowing 0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:26.440 everything up. I gave you my guys the other day 0:45:26.480 --> 0:45:31.200 to them keep. Yes, he wants to keep the whole room. No, 0:45:31.360 --> 0:45:32.960 it's it's it's some guys. It's some guys that I 0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:35.520 would keep too. No. Yeah, I'm on your side. I 0:45:35.560 --> 0:45:37.719 would give rid of some guys. I think mainly you 0:45:37.800 --> 0:45:40.040 gotta get some new coaches and they're teaching some new stuff. 0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:42.960 But yeah, you can't get you gotta get rid of digs, 0:45:43.560 --> 0:45:46.440 Anthony Brown. I told my guys that I'm keeping their 0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:52.840 Wilson and Diggs, the rest of them not going anywhere. Brown. 0:45:53.080 --> 0:45:55.800 Brown's locked in. The Brown's locked in as a contract. 0:45:55.840 --> 0:46:00.880 But as we've seen, so Darren's not going anywhere. I mean, 0:46:00.960 --> 0:46:03.239 here's another guy who's not me, you know, So, so 0:46:03.920 --> 0:46:06.440 you do need I'm talking about guys that that that 0:46:06.640 --> 0:46:10.919 play like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Woods is gone, 0:46:11.640 --> 0:46:15.840 Woods is gone. Okay, Woods is gone. D Lewis is gone. 0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:18.040 You know, those guys that would not bring back you know. 0:46:18.200 --> 0:46:20.920 So so we're basically that's basically throwing it in the grenade. 0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:24.600 Yeah to me, because I agree with Yeah, I'm starting 0:46:24.600 --> 0:46:26.759 I agree with you. I agree okay, yeah yeah, but 0:46:26.840 --> 0:46:28.200 but we yeah, I mean we all. I thought we 0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:29.960 all said that, you know the last the previous show. 0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:32.560 You know those guys are those guys are okay, yeah 0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:35.080 and yes and so so yeah, you go ahead and 0:46:35.160 --> 0:46:36.839 you know you're you're going to fit. That's what I'm 0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:38.920 talking about. Signing a free agent safety, and I think 0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:41.400 signing if free and safety to go along with Donovan Wilson. 0:46:41.440 --> 0:46:44.560 You know, vettering guy. So that's what I'm talking about. Brown, 0:46:44.760 --> 0:46:46.719 I said the other day, Brown, Brown is my number 0:46:46.760 --> 0:46:49.520 three corner. Is good. I'd like to get another number, 0:46:49.640 --> 0:46:53.120 you know, another starting corner in there alongside Dicks. That's 0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:58.360 thinking about a veteran guy, a veteran guy, a veteran 0:46:58.440 --> 0:47:00.640 and even you know, using a draft pick on a 0:47:00.719 --> 0:47:02.799 guy's who I mean. So, so that's where I'm thinking. 0:47:02.840 --> 0:47:05.359 And then of course the D line has to get 0:47:05.440 --> 0:47:08.279 better because the back does not work without the front. 0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:11.720 This front's not doing anything to scare anybody, to pressure anybody. 0:47:12.200 --> 0:47:14.480 So of course these guys you're taking guys who are 0:47:14.560 --> 0:47:16.480 ready not good. Now there no pressure on them. They 0:47:16.560 --> 0:47:18.920 getting torched. That's what you're getting. That's why you make 0:47:18.920 --> 0:47:21.200 a sterling sharp look like you know, Jerry Rice Junior. 0:47:23.840 --> 0:47:26.200 That's why I can't. I can't. I can't emphasize enough 0:47:26.239 --> 0:47:28.520 of why Mike Nolan needs to go and they need 0:47:28.600 --> 0:47:30.760 to bring in a whole group of staff to teach, 0:47:30.840 --> 0:47:33.440 because this is what happens when you're as bad as 0:47:33.520 --> 0:47:36.359 they are. A giant team that couldn't score twenty points 0:47:36.400 --> 0:47:38.960 upon weeks upon weeks rolls up twenty in the first 0:47:39.040 --> 0:47:43.960 half it's tough. It's tough. There are there can be 0:47:44.160 --> 0:47:46.279 better days ahead. And that's the one thing I hope 0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:49.359 Cowboy fans take out of this. It can't you can 0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:53.160 fix this. It can get fixed. It's not it's not 0:47:53.320 --> 0:47:57.359 a dire situation. Look, I'm glad you said that because 0:47:57.400 --> 0:47:59.600 I wanted to end the show off with one last, 0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:02.319 one last thing to church man.
