Speaker 5: Brian Ainger, Brian Ainger and butter, of course, Brandon Aubrey,

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 5: because he's smooth, very Yeah, so Prescott called him butter,

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 5: and so what do you.

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: Have going on? Are you eimulating him right now? Love that?

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 3: Lining up?

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 5: Lining up your kick?

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 6: Chas he told me, I couldn't kick, So I just

33
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 6: have to do this a practice I did earlier. She

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 6: saw me. She said, kick right here before he got here.

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 6: And I did, and she went, yeah, the kick was wrong.

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 6: It was not.

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 5: Okay, too bad, too bad. Tyler Bastd use that for Buffalo.

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 6: As soon as it went.

39
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 5: Wide ride, I just went, oh, man, poor Buffalo fans.

40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 5: Just was too reminiscent of the Scott Norwood miss back

41
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 5: in Super Bowl. And man, but what a great weekend

42
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 5: of games and so much happening. The latest, of course,

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 5: Jim Harbaugh now officially with us andy A Chargers. All right,

44
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 5: sorry sang it, the Los Angeles Chargers.

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: Five year deal. He just announced it right there.

46
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, crazy, do you guys think he's gonna I was

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: just mentioned a little before we got on camera that

48
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 4: he might possibly I could see him bring bringing in

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 4: his Michigan staff.

50
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 5: That'd be ye, that'd be pretty wild.

51
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 6: Why would you not at that point. Why would you not?

52
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 3: That goes to the question which you asked, what happens

53
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: to Kellen Moore?

54
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 6: Probably less of more, is my guess.

55
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: You know what you take your mic away to take

56
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 4: your immediately.

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the thing people don't. People don't think about

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 5: the Domino's falling and families affected, Kellen and Julie and

59
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 5: their little kids.

60
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 6: You know, it's just interesting. It's interesting because when you

61
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 6: think of a head coaching change, you think it's just

62
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 6: the one person, and then it ripples down and yeah,

63
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 6: I don't know, I'll see what happens.

64
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: But we've got we got we got a little bit

65
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: of news.

66
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: Not really much going on around here. But of course

67
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: McCarthy is staying. We didn't get a chance to talk

68
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 4: about that because he announced it, well they announced it

69
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 4: after of course our podcast.

70
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 6: I mean, what are y'all, I'm sorry?

71
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: This all right?

72
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: No, I just wanted to kind of touch on, you know,

73
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: what's y'all's thoughts of us keeping McCarthy kind of like

74
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: the benefits from that. Maybe, I guess you could say

75
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: some cons from keeping McCarthy has one more one more

76
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: you're left on his deal.

77
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: So what's y'alls.

78
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 5: Thoughts, Well, the pros are the continuity of the offense

79
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 5: and the play calling and the same system, the verbiage

80
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 5: and DAK in particular, but the whole offense not having

81
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 5: to learn a new system. And it's hard to argue against,

82
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 5: you know, the top scoring offense in the league and

83
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 5: the numbers and the success that the offense had through

84
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: the majority of the season. The cons are selling to

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 5: Cowboys Nation. What's different? Yeah, you know, yeah, and the

86
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 5: same thing. Yeah, twelve wins for three consecutive seasons, amazing

87
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 5: hasn't been done in Cowboys history. That's you know, high

88
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 5: winning percentage, all of that. But here with the Cowboys,

89
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 5: it's measured in playoff success in Super Bowls, And so

90
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 5: until you get to the super Bowl, they'll be answering

91
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 5: the same question every year.

92
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: I think for me, you've obviously seen the love that

93
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: these players have a McCarthy, So it kind of goes

94
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: back to what you were saying, like the consistency, right,

95
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: and I mean the players are of course, when the

96
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 4: announcement was made, they went to Twitter posting that viral

97
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: video of him in the locker room. So I mean

98
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 4: I think that players get that one consistency of getting

99
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: you know, that same system like you kind of mentioned,

100
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 4: but you also get to see how McCarthy continues to

101
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 4: develop Dak, right, because you've seen the best of Dak

102
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: this year, and you get to see what he does

103
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 4: with a guy like.

104
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: Trey Lance as well.

105
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 4: You obviously know that McCarthy's really good with developing quarterbacks,

106
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 4: so I think I think that's actually going to be

107
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: pretty cool to see as well.

108
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree, I agree with both of you, and

109
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 6: I think consistency is the best word. And you know,

110
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 6: as far as Dak, we talked about this last week

111
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 6: last week, having you know, if they decided not to

112
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 6: renew McCarthy or I guess go with his last year

113
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 6: on his deal, that's three different systems he would have

114
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 6: had to be under in the last three years. And

115
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 6: I think, especially where he's at in his career, expecting

116
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 6: an older quarterback to continue to adjust that way is

117
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 6: just not setting him up for success. And then the

118
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 6: ripple effect it has on the rest of the offense. So,

119
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 6: as far as you know, another year of them working

120
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 6: out the kinks of McCarthy in the play caller and

121
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 6: what I really liked about his press conference when he

122
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 6: talked about that is you know, they went through everything already,

123
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 6: so when you think of things in terms of doing

124
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 6: it the first time, there are some kinks in it,

125
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 6: and we saw that throughout the course of the season.

126
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 6: Your real turnaround time was the bye week, and that's

127
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 6: when things kind of turned around and you know they

128
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,559
Speaker 6: got fixed and adjusted. But you won't have to see

129
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 6: that next season because they already know what is going

130
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 6: to work for them what is not. And I think

131
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 6: the biggest thing I'm going to look for in this

132
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 6: second year of the McCarthy offense is the run game.

133
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 6: I think that's really one of the biggest questions I

134
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 6: still have going into this season. But overall, I was

135
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 6: for that move and I'm glad that he gets another year.

136
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 6: Hopefully he can break that threshold.

137
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 4: What are some things that you guys dislike about this

138
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 4: move or not dislike, but just some.

139
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 5: Cons Yeah, I think it's more what's the definition of

140
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 5: insanity doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

141
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 5: So I think the naysayers and the critics are, you know,

142
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 5: why do you want consistency when the same thing has

143
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 5: happened where you get to the playoffs and then have failure.

144
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 5: And I think it's not just that the Cowboys lost

145
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 5: in the first round this season, but the way they

146
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 5: lost into an up and coming team and to be

147
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 5: down twenty seven to nothing, I mean, they're really what

148
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 5: excuses can you have for that? There aren't any, And

149
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 5: so to me, that's the biggest con. The other thing

150
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 5: is we're still not sure what's going to happen with

151
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 5: dan Quinn and the defense. The thing is, these slots

152
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 5: are filling up this time of year, this coaching carousel

153
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 5: of head coaches, it's like a game of musical chairs.

154
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 5: And so now these slots are filling up. You have

155
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 5: Brian Callahan in Atlanta. Now you've got Harbaugh. Excuse me,

156
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 5: Callahan is with the Tennessee Titans. And then multiple interviews

157
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 5: for Belichick and others in Atlanta include dan Quinn interviewed

158
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 5: there the Commanders. So you're still unsure, you know, this

159
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 5: time next week, hopefully we'll have some will have some

160
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 5: definitive to talk about with the Cowboys defense and whether

161
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 5: there'll be any changes on the coaching staff. But you know,

162
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 5: remember it's not just a coordinator that that has gone. Oftentimes,

163
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 5: the contracts are such that the it matches, so would

164
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 5: if a coordinator were to leave, how many coaches would

165
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 5: he take with them? So it's not just a one

166
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 5: for one. Sometimes you're replacing multiple spots.

167
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 6: And not only that, but you look at the laundry

168
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 6: list of the free agents that are in the Cowboys

169
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 6: locker room come the off season, a lot of those

170
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 6: guys are the dan Quinn guys. Really, when you look

171
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 6: at who is on that list, they're the dan Quinn

172
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 6: guys that came in his first year, that have followed

173
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 6: him before, that have a track record of following him

174
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 6: where he's gone, came from Atlanta coming here. He's just

175
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 6: that kind of coach to these guys where he go,

176
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 6: oh they follow, And so that kind of worries me

177
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 6: as far as personnel is who could follow It's not

178
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 6: just coaches, it could also be personnel. And we'll see,

179
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 6: hopefully this time next week we have a definitive answer.

180
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 6: That'd be nice to just know.

181
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: What's going on.

182
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 4: I think what worries me is you talk about the

183
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 4: laundry list of you know, defensive guys, there's there's quite

184
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: a few offensive guys too, you know, especially with kind

185
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 4: of like what you mentioned mentioned the run game.

186
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: You got Tony Paul Rico Donald.

187
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 5: That's two guys right there.

188
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

189
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: Eagles have also requested an interview with Kellen Moore for

190
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 4: their host job.

191
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 3: There's a lot of news going on.

192
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 5: And they've got Vic Fangio for the defensive coordinator who

193
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 5: had been had a mutual parting of the ways with

194
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 5: Miami earlier this week. So Sirianni keeps his job with

195
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 5: the Eagles, but they're going to have a couple of

196
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 5: new coordinators. So very interesting.

197
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh sorry, my bad, I lost.

198
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 6: Sorry just talking about You're good.

199
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, talking about the run game, some of the different

200
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 5: free agents and guys moving on.

201
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, And and I say one of the cons for

202
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 4: me is, I guess kind of like piggybacking off what

203
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 4: Christy said and the definition of insanity. But for me,

204
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 4: it's more so of what is out there to help

205
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 4: improve this offense. Sure, and you have some guys that,

206
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: like I said, you know, could be leaving, They could

207
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 4: possibility could possibly re sign, But I mean, you don't

208
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 4: want to expect the same thing that happened this past

209
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 4: season as far as like the way that you guys

210
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: went out. So it'll be interesting to see you know

211
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 4: what how aggressive the guys that the team is when

212
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 4: it comes to the draft, what they select in free

213
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 4: agency as far as offensive.

214
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 3: But now I mean talking about Dak. We talked about

215
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 3: I don't know.

216
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: If we did get a chance to talk about McCarthy staying,

217
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: but as far as you know, how much trust that

218
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: you can have in the fact that he is staying,

219
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 4: because that's what Jane s later asked I'm in the

220
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 4: press conference, but more so moving to Dak Prescott, how

221
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 4: much trust do you guys have in him to be

222
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 4: able to come back next year and take this team

223
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: to a whole different level.

224
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: We got a chance. I don't know if Jazzy has

225
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: the sound.

226
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a chance to hear from oh Bett,

227
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 4: we can go ahead and play with Troy Aikman said yesterday,

228
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 4: go ahead, Jazzy.

229
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 7: I still believe in Dak. I think that until you

230
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 7: do it, there's always those criticisms. And I know Peyton

231
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 7: Many went through that his first three years, he didn't

232
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 7: win a playoff game, and then you look back on

233
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 7: it now, you can't imagine an excited question whether or

234
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 7: not he can win a playoff game.

235
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 5: And yeah, that was Troy Aikman speaking this week at

236
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: the George Bush Presidential Library. It was for a sports

237
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 5: business journal naming Dallas it's the number one sports business city,

238
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 5: and so that's why Troy was there. But he's right

239
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 5: about until you do it, you know, and unfortunately, in

240
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 5: something that we've talked about ad nauseum here on Girls Talk,

241
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 5: Boys Talk is the standard here. You know, when you

242
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 5: follow the agment, when you follow the Stallbucks, you know,

243
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 5: it's the same thing that Tony Romo and you know

244
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 5: Danny White following Roger Staubach. If it's not the super Bowl,

245
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter what numbers you put up in the

246
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 5: eyes of many Cowboy fans.

247
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 4: That's something that he also touched and credit to Calvin Watkins,

248
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 4: who was actually there. He put it in quotations of

249
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 4: what Troygman also added about a sense of entitlement. This

250
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 4: is what was said from Troy Aikman. I don't know

251
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: about a sense of entitlement. I think that when you

252
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 4: play for the Cowboys, every national show leads off with

253
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, and there's lots of perks are playing with

254
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, a lot of benefits playing for the Dallas Cowboys.

255
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: So I think the challenge for the organization and for

256
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: the head coach is to be able to still keep

257
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 4: the players with their edge.

258
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: Which is actually a kind of a good point there.

259
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 3: Do you all think there's some truth to that?

260
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 6: Well, yes, I want to touch base on what Christy

261
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 6: said too of what the standard is, and it should

262
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 6: be Super Bowls, it should be playoff wins, and that's

263
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 6: all viable. What I do really like about McCarthy and

264
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 6: kind of how he coaches this team is he tells

265
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 6: them you're not responsible for anything that did not happen

266
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 6: before us. And so, yeah, in the last three years

267
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 6: there has not been a success in playoff victory, and

268
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 6: so you can scrutinize that part of McCarthy, But what

269
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 6: I do like is that he doesn't put the pressure

270
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 6: of the last twenty five years, thirty years on DAK

271
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 6: to fix that, because again, there were predecessors that came

272
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 6: after Roger Stallback that also didn't get it done, that

273
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 6: also still contributed to this dry spell that you've seen

274
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 6: of not getting past the divisional round in the playoffs.

275
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 6: And so I think as far as hearing from Troy

276
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 6: that he still believes in DAK that should hold weight

277
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 6: because he did get it done. And given football was

278
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 6: very different from when Troy played to now, but he's

279
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 6: still an analyst. He's a color analyst and he knows

280
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 6: what the heck he's talking about. So I think if

281
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 6: Troy Aikman can sit there and say, hey, Dak's still

282
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 6: your guy, he can get it done. Who are we

283
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 6: to argue with one of the greatest quarterbacks ever.

284
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 5: Yeah? Well, really Troy's greatest quote, and I think it

285
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 5: puts everything in context. One of his greatest quotes, and

286
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 5: this is back when he was playing. This was from

287
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 5: back in the nineties. Yeah, because it's always Oh, Dallas

288
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 5: is such a great sports town, and Troy said, Dallas

289
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 5: is a winner's town. They love you when you win.

290
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 6: Yep, right, And of.

291
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 5: Course you can say that about any community. Yeah, you

292
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 5: see him on Twitter.

293
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 4: You've seen it everywhere on social media now, So no

294
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 4: truth to that.

295
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 6: It's so true. And you know it also goes back.

296
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 6: We were talking about the Bills kicker and I don't know

297
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 6: if y'all saw that story trending about just him having

298
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 6: to deactivate a social media because of the amount of

299
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 6: hate he was getting after missing the field goal. No,

300
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 6: I just it's so sad to see kind of this

301
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 6: world we live in where social media takes over the

302
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 6: human aspect of these guys. And yes, look, the loss

303
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 6: was bad enough. We don't have to be the first

304
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 6: ones to tell the guys in the locker room that

305
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 6: the loss was embarrassing, that it sucked being in the

306
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 6: locker room after the game. They knew that it was

307
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 6: very obvious. And you know, after that locker room experience,

308
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 6: I had never been. That was my first time being

309
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 6: in a locker room after that kind of loss. And

310
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 6: Christy and I were talking right before and I told

311
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 6: her it was like, I don't know what to expect

312
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 6: to go in here. I really wish people would keep

313
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 6: in mind and look, yes, you can be upset. You

314
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 6: can be mad that you have a very long off

315
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 6: season with a very special team that should still be playing,

316
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 6: should still be preparing to get ready for a game

317
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 6: this weekend. You can be upset about that, but also

318
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 6: just remember these guys are human. I mean the human

319
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 6: aspect of this. We talked about it all the time

320
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 6: on this podcast. There's no need to get personal. There's

321
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 6: no need to send them hateful messages and other really

322
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 6: gross ugly things that aren't even speakable. I mean, the

323
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 6: fact that that is just such a common thing that

324
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 6: these guys have to deal with really, you know, Dallas,

325
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 6: but across the NFL just urgs me so much because

326
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 6: at the end of the day, yeah, it's just football.

327
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 5: Well you know, but when Tony Romo after the playoff loss,

328
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 5: and Tony Romo says, if this is the worst thing

329
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 5: that ever happens to me in my life, then I

330
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 5: would have had a good life. Well he got crucified

331
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 5: for that, you know, by some fans. Not all I mean,

332
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 5: but it's hard to keep things in perspective when losses

333
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 5: are fresh. But the thing about Tyler Bass getting all

334
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 5: that vitriol, this is the Buffalo kicker that missed wide right.

335
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 5: And it's what happened with Scott Norwood, the kicker who

336
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 5: missed it in the Super Bowl in the nineties for

337
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 5: Buffalo and the Giants win the Super Bowl instead of

338
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 5: the Bills. Wide right. That is part of the lexicon

339
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 5: of the NFL, and it's the two words words in

340
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 5: Buffalo Bill's fandom and then to miss wide rights. So

341
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 5: what happens with Tyler Bass is what happens with these

342
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys. The current players. That's they all saying, paying

343
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 5: for the sins of your fathers.

344
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 6: Yep, yep.

345
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 5: Well, of course they're not their fathers, but they're you know,

346
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 5: the people that came before them. And so when you

347
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 5: have the way that you lost in the first round

348
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 5: and these these players feel the pressure, I'm to your point.

349
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 5: I'm glad that Mike McCarthy says, hey, they're not responsible

350
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 5: for that, but they have to live with it in

351
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 5: terms of the pressure that they feel from Cowboys.

352
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 6: They shall have to fix it now because you are

353
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 6: responsible for what has happened in the last three years

354
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 6: that you are responsible for and you still haven't gotten

355
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 6: it done. So I'm not saying there's not room to

356
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 6: be upset and emotional for the next long off season

357
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 6: that we all have, But I'm just saying there's limits

358
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 6: to how we channel that frustration. Everybody. We don't have

359
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 6: to send gross messages to players to channel frustration. It's

360
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 6: just weird.

361
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 5: Do y'all think it's worse for the players or the coaches.

362
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know how much of the coaches actually see.

363
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 6: To be fair, like Mike McCarthy's not on Twitter, that's

364
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 6: true to be getting the direct mess well, but his kids, Yeah, Zach.

365
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 5: That's what Mike McCarthy talks about is you know, is

366
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 5: as I can take it, he says, I don't like

367
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 5: it when you know, my kids have to deal. That's

368
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 5: fair with this, And I would say in some ways

369
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 5: it's worse for the coaches because you can't fire all

370
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 5: the players, right, get a salary cap and money. They're constraints.

371
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 5: You can't fire a whole team. That's why you get

372
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 5: rid of staffs. Yeah, and so you know, yeah, I

373
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 5: feel bad for the coaches because usually there's the ones

374
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 5: that are out the door.

375
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

376
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 6: Jordan Lewis in the last day of Locker Room, when

377
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 6: they were doing locker room cleanup, he talked about Dak

378
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 6: and Mike having the hardest jobs in America and he

379
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 6: said that he said, the coach of the Dallas Cowboys

380
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 6: and the quarterback have the hardest jobs in America and

381
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 6: they get the most scrutiny. So I think that was

382
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 6: spot on.

383
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,000

00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 6: She said that's what she watches to go to sleep.

446
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 5: So let's talk about how things how things work in

447
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 5: the NFL for the playoffs. So let's take how much

448
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 5: players get paid? Okay, so we had Round one Cowboys, uh, Packers.

449
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 5: Why did the Cowboys players get paid more for playing

450
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 5: in the Round one play a wild card round than

451
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 5: the Packers players? I mean, the Packers won, and why

452
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 5: would one team get paid more? And how much did

453
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 5: they get paid? I'd say, would you like to take

454
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 5: a guess? It's it's a what happens is in the NFL.

455
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 5: Once you get to the playoffs, there are different amounts

456
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 5: for each round, and it's a flat payment, just like

457
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 5: Stanley flat. Everyone gets paid the same thing. The players

458
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 5: get paid the same.

459
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 6: Amount, I'm gonna say because they had higher seating.

460
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 5: Because they were division winners. Right, So if you, if

461
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 5: you were a division winner, you for playing in round

462
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 5: one fifty five hundred dollars each player on the team. Okay,

463
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 5: if you were if you were a practice squad player,

464
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 5: you did get your weekly practice squad check of twelve

465
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 5: thousand dollars. So as long as you keep going in

466
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 5: the playoffs and you have practices leading into the next round,

467
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 5: practice squad players get paid their practice chicks.

468
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 4: So each player on the Cowboys roster got paid fifty

469
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 4: thousand dollars for the first.

470
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 6: Fifty hundred dollars playing in the wildcard run.

471
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 5: And the Packers players, because they were the wild card

472
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 5: entry and not one of the division winners, they got

473
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 5: paid five thousand dollars less forty five thousand, five hundred dollars. Now,

474
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 5: ultimately that the Packers the pack that the Packers came

475
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 5: out ahead. Packers came out ahead because they advanced to

476
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 5: the divisional round and the divisional round. Everyone, all players

477
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 5: get paid the same amount. In the divisional round, whether

478
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 5: you're a wild card entry or division winner, you get

479
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 5: paid fifty thousand, five hundred dollars. So the Packers players,

480
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 5: they were eliminated after round two, So one hundred and

481
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 5: one thousand dollars fifty thousand, five hundred for two games. Okay.

482
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 5: So now for the conference championship game where let's say that.

483
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 5: So we've got what Detroit Right is hosting. So the

484
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 5: four teams actually eight teams, now four teams, okay, in

485
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 5: the conference championship games, seventy three thousand dollars per player. Okay,

486
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 5: so all of those players, and then if you make

487
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 5: the super Bowl, you're back to a difference. If you win,

488
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 5: if you're on the winning team, it's one hundred and

489
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 5: sixty four thousand dollars. If you win, if you're on

490
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 5: the losing team, eighty seven eighty nine thousand dollars. So

491
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 5: there's a discrepancy the roughly two hundred something thousand dollars. Well,

492
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 5: depending if you play all four if you play all

493
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 5: four rounds, and it's more, it's more than that. It's

494
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 5: over three it's about three hundred and seventy if you

495
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 5: win and all that. Now here's the.

496
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 6: Thing enough to go to the playoffs?

497
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 5: Well that that sounds like a lot of money, right,

498
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 5: Hey to me, now here's the thing. To me, if

499
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 5: I were in the Players Union, this would be the

500
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 5: one thing that I would would change because the fifty

501
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 5: thousand dollars is a lot of money, isn't it.

502
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 6: I mean that's that's the person on it, on the team.

503
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so that's that's a lot of money. But

504
00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 5: what if I'm pick a player for the Cowboys. Let

505
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 5: Lewis go, okay, Jordan Lewis.

506
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 6: Let me say all over here.

507
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 5: Okay, let me get to Jordan Lewis's base salary. So

508
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 5: give me a moment. It's Tyler, Jordan Lewis. I think

509
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 5: it's okay, Well, Dak, what is Jack's base salary? Look

510
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 5: on there for sport spow.

511
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 3: Track for twenty nine nine million.

512
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, yeah, but what's so his salary? That's his salary.

513
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 5: I need his base salary, not his for the year.

514
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 3: It's not working base salary.

515
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 5: Base salary is twenty nine million, Okay, So twenty nine

516
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 5: million divided by eighteen games is one point six one

517
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 5: million dollars. So Dak Prescott gets paid one point sixty

518
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 5: one million dollars in base salary per game. You work

519
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 5: all year and you make it to the playoffs, and

520
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 5: your paycheck is fifty five hundred dollars.

521
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: Oh, I see where we're going with this.

522
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 4: Hear me out though, extra fift thousand dollars.

523
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: I'm going out there and get this win. I mean,

524
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 3: thousand dollars is fifty thousand dollars, you know what I'm saying.

525
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I also see, like, why is it a

526
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 4: pay can it's a pay yeah.

527
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 6: Compared to what they're making.

528
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 5: But when the ratings are higher, more people are watching.

529
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: You know, I don't think that they discount the I

530
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 5: don't think they discount parking and concessions, do they. I mean,

531
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 5: everyone's paying.

532
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 6: It's still I it's so interesting. I'd be interested to

533
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 6: compare that to somebody that obviously doesn't get paid as

534
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 6: much as Dak. Okay, Dak gets Let's do that.

535
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 5: Okay, let's do it. Don If you're if you're a rookie,

536
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 5: if you're a rookie, there are minimum based salaries. There

537
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 5: are minimum based salaries in the NFL. So if you

538
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 5: are a rookie and you're on the fifty three man roster,

539
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 5: your minimum salary is seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

540
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 5: So if you divide that by eighteen weeks, okay, it

541
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 5: is forty one thousand, six hundred and sixty six dollars.

542
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 5: So for a rookie making the minimum, So Brandon Aubrey,

543
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 5: let's say Brandon Aubrey. For Brandon Aubrey playing in that

544
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 5: playoff game meant a lot Butter, Butter actually got a raise.

545
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 5: Butter made an extra one thousand dollars basically then he

546
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 5: would have if it were a regular season What.

547
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 6: Does account because he's technically not considered a rookie in

548
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 6: the MANAFA.

549
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 5: Actually, that is an interesting question because Brandon Aubrey, according

550
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 5: to NFL in terms of like records and stuff, because

551
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 5: he would be an all time rookie record holder, is

552
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 5: an NFL kicker, but because he has experience in a

553
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 5: previous pro league USFL, the league is contending that Brandon

554
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 5: Aubrey is in fact not a rookie but a first

555
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 5: year player. Yet Brandon Aubrey is paid the rookie minimum

556
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 5: of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars instead of the

557
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 5: first year minimum of eight hundred and seventy thousand dollars.

558
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 5: So there's a discrepancy there.

559
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 3: The math is in mathing.

560
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 6: I have a headache, you know.

561
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 5: Oh it's a Thursday morning. I should have told everyone

562
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 5: to bring their bring their calculators today.

563
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 6: My mom's a math.

564
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 4: So what about what about Mozzie Smith? His base salary

565
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 4: is one point three million.

566
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 5: So okay, so we divide. So you take one point

567
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 5: three one point three million by eighteen and divide it

568
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 5: by eighteen, and it's seventy two thousand, seventy two thousand,

569
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 5: two hundred and twenty two dollars. So Mazzie took a

570
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 5: twenty two thousand dollars pay cut to pay in the

571
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 5: play in the playoffs. But to your but you're right,

572
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 5: it's fifty thousands to two thousands more than than you

573
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 5: had before.

574
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.

575
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 4: That's extra money that you had before to put in

576
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 4: your bank account.

577
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

578
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 6: But that's that's how that's how it works.

579
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 3: In the NFL.

580
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 5: The point is, let go kick over here, running back flies.

581
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 6: I don't give Brandon Aubrey any run for his money

582
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 6: at all.

583
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 5: But I just it is interesting though that once you

584
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 5: get to the Super Bowl, the winning team, it's basically

585
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 5: double right, yeah, and then the same The same thing

586
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 5: holds for the Pro Bowl, even though the Pro Bowl

587
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 5: isn't a true game anymore like it used to be.

588
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: So let's see, is that interesting? Every year one hundred?

589
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 5: Excuse me, no, it raises a little bit each year.

590
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 5: So for example, last year would have been say like

591
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 5: thirty eight thousand dollars and then compared to forty thousand. Yeah,

592
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 5: what was it back in the day, like in the sixties, Oh,

593
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 5: like five thousand dollars?

594
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 6: I mean money value was different in fact that as well.

595
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,360

00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 5: his base salary this past year was just over ninety

628
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 5: four thousand dollars and then fifty five hundred for the

629
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 5: Wildcard playoff game. The highest base salary was Tony Pollard.

630
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 5: All of his money was put in the base salary

631
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 5: because he was franchised attacked. So yeah, so even though

632
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 5: Dak counted twenty seven million this past year against the

633
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 5: salary cap, with all of the restructuring bonuses and signing

634
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 5: bonus and all of that, his base was one point

635
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 5: seven million.

636
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a few questions.

637
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 4: The number one question is what gets excited about the

638
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 4: upcoming off season.

639
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 6: Who's that was?

640
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: Oscar?

641
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 6: H Oscar? Shouty's. Oscar is very loyal. Anytime I would

642
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 6: tweet anything but Bland, he was ready with his response.

643
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 6: It was the same, so shout out.

644
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 5: Well, there's so much to build on, yeah right. I

645
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 5: think the continuity of the offense is something to look

646
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 5: forward to. I think getting CD signed to an extension

647
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 5: is something to look forward to. I think the improvement

648
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 5: is the run game is something to really look forward to.

649
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 5: It's just that it's Cloudy right now because Tony Pollard

650
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 5: being a free agent, Rico Dowdell's restricted, and then with

651
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 5: Tyler Battish and Tyrone Smith may be a very different

652
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 5: looking line right in the in the next year. So

653
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 5: I think that that's going to be a big emphasis

654
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 5: is improving the run game. I think that having continuity

655
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 5: on special teams and Brandon Aubrey coming back is a

656
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 5: huge thing. And defense, boy, so many questions there in

657
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 5: terms of what you're going to do. There's I think

658
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 5: there's going to be a lot of changes in the

659
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 5: in the defensive backfield with guys like jay Ron and

660
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 5: Curse and Stefan Gilmour, Jordan Lewis free agents there U.

661
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 5: But I think improving the linebacker corps is something to

662
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 5: really look forward to because because the injury to Layton

663
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 5: vander ash was just the killer blow. It was a

664
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 5: brutal blow. And I'm when you say most excited about

665
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 5: to me, I would say for me, it's more like

666
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 5: intriguing and curious about. That's that's what I'm going to

667
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 5: What am I going to be focused on? And I

668
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 5: would phrase it that way, and That's what I'm going

669
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 5: to be looking at.

670
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 6: I think it's also guys coming back from injury. So

671
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 6: obviously Trayvon Diggs went out prior to Week three in

672
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 6: practice with the freak ACL tear, him coming back and

673
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 6: being able to kind of re establish that and build

674
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 6: off of the year that he was supposed to have

675
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,479
Speaker 6: this season if not for that injury. To Marvin Overshown, Yes,

676
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 6: another guy you can be so excited about from what

677
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 6: you saw in the preseason ahead of his injury, John

678
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 6: Stevens junior on the offensive side of the ball, who

679
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 6: name great good flashes during training camps that we were

680
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 6: so excited about. A tight end. Is he a wide receiver?

681
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 6: Is he a both? We don't know. But again, you

682
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 6: have these really talented guys coming back from injury, and

683
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 6: those I think with Marvin Overshown and obviously Leyton vandersh

684
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 6: being out impacting the linebacker corps had a big ripple

685
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 6: effect on the linebackers this year to your point, Christy,

686
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 6: So having guys come back from injury that were projected

687
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 6: to have really big seasons and getting them through the

688
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 6: hardest part of their injury and getting them back on

689
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 6: the field is something I'm excited about personally.

690
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 4: I'd say knowing that this team is so close, you know,

691
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 4: so close, like Christy mentioned the twelve and five seasons,

692
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 4: back to back, three straight seasons, twelve one seasons. I'm sorry,

693
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 4: you talk about the talent that this team has, the

694
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 4: talent that theyre's out there, and of course this is

695
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 4: my first NFL off season, so I'm excited to see

696
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 4: the way that.

697
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 3: Are the different players that come in.

698
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, that could add to this new offense,

699
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 4: or you know, if they maintain the same guys that

700
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 4: they keep just seeing how they fit in, even defensive guys,

701
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 4: the new guys that we could possibly see come in

702
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 4: as well. Uh so, I think, I mean that's what

703
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 4: that's what makes it fun about the NFLF season.

704
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 3: You really don't know, it's it's really about the unknown.

705
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 4: But with knowing that this team was so close, you know,

706
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 4: it'll be interesting to see how much more and how

707
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 4: much fun it'll be to see how much how much

708
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 4: closer they can get to possibly like an NFC championship game.

709
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think that's that's kind of Yeah, it's

710
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting.

711
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 6: Even look at this time last year, you had no

712
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 6: idea this time last year you'd have a Brandon Cooks. Yeah,

713
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 6: you had no idea you'd have a Stefan Gilmore. Yeah,

714
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 6: you just had You had no idea you'd have a

715
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 6: Brandon Aubrey. I mean, there's so much unknown. And Christy

716
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 6: always talks about the retention and the changes that come

717
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 6: in the off season between trades, free agency, everything about

718
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 6: twenty percent to twenty to twenty five percent being changes.

719
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 6: But that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. You

720
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 6: can have a lot of really great additions to this team.

721
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 6: So I'm trying to really have the glass half full

722
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 6: here because we got through the emotional couple of weeks

723
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 6: together and we had our therapy session on here. But look,

724
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 6: there's just you're also building off of a really talented roster,

725
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 6: and I think that's why the loss was so disappointing,

726
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 6: because of the talent that you had already built on

727
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 6: this team that's still going to be there, maybe not

728
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 6: all of it, but there's also going to be new

729
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 6: additions that could help as well.

730
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, what was your favorite surprise of the season. That's

731
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 5: a good one, and it doesn't have to be a player.

732
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 5: It could be you know what what or something something

733
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 5: or someone that exceeded your expectations.

734
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 3: Okay, dang, I have to go.

735
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go deck.

736
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Deck.

737
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 4: Okay, because I came in I think it was I

738
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 4: think it was the forty nine Ers game.

739
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 6: It was.

740
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 3: It was a game that was my first week, and

741
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 3: I was like, hmm, okay, I don't know.

742
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 8: We'll know where to go, but up yeah, Well, I

743
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 8: was like, okay, thanks a little rock rough week over rough.

744
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 3: Week for my first week.

745
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 4: But just seeing you know, his improvements in the way

746
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 4: that his instincts have changed, his reads have been have

747
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 4: gotten so much better. Granted, of course, I know fans

748
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 4: don't want to hear this because of the way they

749
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 4: went out and pretty much no one showed up that Sunday,

750
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 4: But I mean, come on, like, Dak showed that he's

751
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 4: he's a top QB in NFL, and I think since

752
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 4: that game he really showed that. So I'd say that's

753
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 4: probably my my biggest surprise.

754
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: Oh man, that one's hard.

755
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 6: I don't know biggest surprise. I'm gonna I'm gonna veer

756
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 6: a little bit here. I'm gonna say for me being

757
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 6: my first year actually covering the team and being able

758
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 6: to do that. My biggest surprise was getting through it

759
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 6: and and uh fighting through the burnout because it was hard.

760
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 6: So personally that was my biggest surprise. It was really

761
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 6: a lot and I think, uh yeah, just learning through that.

762
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 6: But as far as the team, I I mean, I

763
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 6: gotta go with the obvious. Yes, absolutely, like, look, if

764
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 6: you knew me, it's across your.

765
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 5: Heart right here and mine as well, butter.

766
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 6: Next to her if the club really wish you knew

767
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 6: me before the whole Brandon Aubrey thing started because during

768
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 6: training camp, Christy get a test all last year, all

769
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 6: I nagged about was the kicking situation and how firm

770
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 6: I was in wanting to keep Brett Maher on the roster.

771
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 6: I didn't agree even after his uh incident in the

772
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 6: playoffs last year. I was very firm on wanting to

773
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 6: keep a stable kicker. And that was fear talking because

774
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 6: I didn't know what was ahead. Uh. And then in

775
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 6: comes Brandon Aubrey randomly during training camp. Everyone's like, who

776
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 6: is this guy? He used to play soccer and he

777
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 6: did not have a great training camp. I mean, every

778
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 6: time you saw tweets about Brandon Aubrey was like, oh,

779
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 6: he missed two today. Oh, he missed three today. He

780
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 6: never had a perfect day at training camp, I think

781
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 6: maybe except once. So in my head, I'm sitting here

782
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 6: on the podcast, real smug, like, here we go with

783
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 6: another kicking situation, and then all of a sudden, yeah,

784
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 6: here comes Brandon Aubrey, proving everybody but myself wrong. I

785
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 6: will happily, happily, happily, happily admit that I was wrong

786
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 6: about Brandon Aubrey. And that was the best surprise I

787
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 6: could have asked for all season, being a kicking queen

788
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 6: and loving a good stable kicker. Brandon Aubrey was such

789
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 6: a fantastic find by the scouting department here John Fossil

790
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 6: had a hand in it in finding him in the USFL.

791
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 6: Just such a great story. Yeah, he wasn't even supposed

792
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 6: to ever kick again, much less in the NFL. He

793
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 6: was a software engineer that kind of just was inspired

794
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 6: by his wife to come and try. Fantastic story, fantastic guy,

795
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 6: fantastic player. That was my biggest surprise was seeing just

796
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 6: a historic season from Butter.

00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,520

00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 5: She did.

00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,680

811
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 5: conversation with Rich before the wild card game, and he said,

812
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,400
