Is that three straight? 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.960 Yes? Yes? No, Now you know the unfortunate part coming 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.200 from NFL media. 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.000 No, don't say dok. 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.520 Prescott has a hamstring injury and we'll miss multiple weeks. 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.520 We do not know. Head coach Miya McCarthy will have 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:14.679 a press conference at the top of the hour. We 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:20.000 will get more specifics about the quarterback of America team. 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.000 So Cooper rush time. We don't know for how long. 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:31.679 Here's one for you guys. When do you decide to 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:37.720 play Tree Lance, if this season is going away? 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:38.400 Is going. 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.880 If the quarterback who's all caught on camera saying we 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.039 fing up, he did say that. He did say that 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:50.440 to Trey Lance. We know what Cooper Rush can do? Yes? 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.240 Was it four to one two years ago for one? 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.520 So so if he can't keep the ship from sinking, 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.720 when do you go to see if there's anything? 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.040 Which just ask I give them if I'm if I'm 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.040 the Boys and I'm in charge of making these type 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.880 of decisions, I give Cooper Rush about two games. 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.320 What's the next two games? Philadelphia and in Houston? 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.480 Right, you know, good competition, two of the better teams 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.600 in their division. You got Philly that's the second place, 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.280 right now, you got Houston. I believe's in the first 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.919 place in the AFC South. So if he's able to 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.520 go out there and get to victories against those teams, 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.280 then I let them ride. Go ahead, see what we 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.880 can do with this. But if he struggles in both 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.120 of those contests, then I think you've got to see 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.680 what Trey Lance got. I think you got to see 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.280 what he can do out there. I mean, preseason, we 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.799 got a glimpse of what he can do. He wasn't 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.840 playing with the starters, and you know it was a 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.720 little rocky at first. You know he was using his 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.720 legs a lot, but he did, you know, use his 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.640 arm in occasions. He saw a little bit of it 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.959 here and there, sprinkles of it. But I think you 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.400 gotta see what he can do if you lose these 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.320 next two games, because if you lose these next two games, 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.840 you wet three and seven, three and seven, that that's 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.520 a nail in the coffin. It's over, it's a rap, 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.120 kiss the baby, whatever you want to call it. The 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.120 season is done at that point. So once that happens, 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.760 I think you've got to go to Trey Lance to 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.560 see what he got, what he can provide. Maybe he 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.600 can provide a little spark and maybe you see what 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.119 he can go into next season. But I think that's 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:11.520 in time when you got to you gotta bring Tray 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:12.600 Lance along at that point. 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.720 Man, you can ride with Cooper Rush because you know 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.920 what he does. You's he's a proven backup. He's given 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.360 you quality minutes, uh in quality games when Dak has 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.720 gone down with an injury. And right now you may 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.520 get a second chance of providing some value for your 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.360 third quarterback if Cooper Rush, like you said, doesn't play well, 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.280 or you have an opportunity now to insert him into 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.600 a game in some packages period, you know, and so 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.760 uh to me, I think this is a this is 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.160 the situation that you absolutely did not need at this 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.760 point in the season. With the and I went back. 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.240 I kept, I keep looking at the tape to find 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.960 out how you know that the hamstring injury happened. You know, 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.320 I'm not a quarterback savant by any means, but it 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.600 just seemed like me, you know, sneezing in the shower, 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.160 blowing him up back out, you know, like one of 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.320 those things. Just how did that happen? It's off balance, 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.600 he throws the ball and then it's you know, something 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.000 happens in his hamstring. Man, I just think this, this, 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.240 this just just heightens how weird this season has been. 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.760 When Dak you know, it strains his hamstring throwing the ball, 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:21.960 it's uh, it's just one of those It's one of 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.680 those things. Offensively, we have to get some fire, some 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.760 something ignited from somewhere. Seventy five was my number in 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.440 the running game. I talked about it. Man, you gotta 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.359 get seventy five. Ric o'dalla went out and got you 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.279 seventy five, and still the passing game didn't give you anything, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:40.920 not nothing else. And so you know, Cooper Rush came in, 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.440 he did complete some long passes, and if Dak is 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.719 heard or even on the fringe at this point, I 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.039 still say put Cooper Rush in there because I don't 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:48.240 want to. 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:49.359 I don't want him to tear it. 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.120 And in this situation, let me throw something that y'all 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.480 real quick, Let's just say after those two games, you 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.039 throw lands in the game. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.359 You know, for the remainder of the season, he plays well. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.440 Let's just say he plays you know good enough, you 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.240 lot on tape that he's playing well. Could you then 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.600 in turn throw a tag on him and open it 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.720 up for trades that way you can get some picks? 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.919 Could you? Could you then do that if it was 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.560 that situation, because you know, he ain't gonna first that 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.240 comes back, he ain't gonna play here here. 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.520 First off, you're talking about a tag, Yeah, can you? 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:19.680 But isn't there there's. 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:21.719 Another tags besides this franchise. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.680 Isn't there well, I don't know anyone that is just 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.760 not the quarterback tag. You're gonna have to take the 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.800 median of all the highest paid quarterbacks. 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.080 Here's you throw a tag on that, dude run inside it. 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.880 Well yeah, yeah, that's but like thirty something, I mean, 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:38.960 you can't, you can't. 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:44.040 Afford don't move that fast. He's done after this year. Yes, contract, 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.239 he's a free agent. Cooper Rush is a free agent. 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.440 And I say this in the lens of Dak's gonna 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.599 miss multiple weeks. We see where this thing is going. 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.800 God bless Cooper Rush. He's not a magician, and all 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.839 of a sudden, this blocking is gonna get better. And 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.320 this is what this is. So if you're seeing what 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.239 Trey Lance has, and if Trey Lance shows you something 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.120 with Dak Prescott being injured again, you're going to have 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:11.040 to start to think about who's our backup quarterback? Who 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.159 is because both guys are going to be free agents, 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:16.960 and if Trey Lance has anything and you want to build, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.679 I mean, I just asked the question because right now 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.320 you are getting to the point where you better figure 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:24.960 out what what do we have for twenty five? 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:29.320 Yeah, it's it's gonna be interesting in twenty five because 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.080 there's a lot of cancer that's gonna want some bread 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.000 other than you know, these backup quarterbacks. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:34.320 I'm free agents a lot. 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.159 That's that's where That's where I point to is the 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.120 fact that you have so many free agents, a lot 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.920 of one year guys, a lot of expiring contracts, and 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.440 as tomorrow gets draws nearer, I think you start to 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.960 see I would hope that you start to see movement 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.599 with those first and foremost the guys that have those 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.159 expiring contracts. Like it's a it's a pickle. And when 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.320 it comes down to the quarterback position, I just look 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.599 at Cooper Rush as the guy that is proven, that 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.040 has shown you that was the Chase Daniels the quarterback. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.960 There's a backup forever in the n fourteen years. He's 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:10.200 just like a journeyman backup quarterbacks South Carol. Cooper Rush 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.160 is that dude to me here, Cooper Rush is the dude, Hey, 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:14.960 stand over here and make your millions. 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:15.640 Hold a clipboard. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.640 If we need you, you could come in here and 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.240 give this guy so give us some quality games. He's 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.000 done that for you before four and one. In situations 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:27.800 and instances, you can't trust the latter to say that 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:29.920 you know, he could be that guy that could come 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.480 in and fill in games for us. I mean, who 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.640 else do you have at the quarterback? Because it's Brian Anger? 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.240 How do you talk about it? 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.160 And I'm not I'm not here. I could judge Cooper 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.000 Rush on his bill. We know what he could do, yes, yes, 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.400 we know it. But he's not going to be able 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.080 to fix this thing, you know. So, So for the 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.000 for the fans out there, oh I got rid of 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.280 Dacres stop. Cooper Rush is not gonna be the elixir here. 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.040 It's this thing is too big for Cooper Rush or 0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:59.520 anybody fix too many holes. 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:03.320 It's bigger than me. By ain't no way. There is 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.720 very much Nino Brown understands. This thing is bigger than me. 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:08.760 If I'm going down taking a whole lot of people, 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:10.640 and now a whole lot of people right now the 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.239 ship be sinking. But as I look at the sinking ship, 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.840 you must think of what about twenty twenty five as 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.600 you decide who do we want to start to bring 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.800 back the hack? When you bring up a very good point, 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.800 the trade deadline is tomorrow. Who would you like to 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.320 possibly move on? Because Jerry said after the game we 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:35.080 could have some stuff in mind. No, no, who do 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.800 you move on who do people want? That's the biggest 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.400 thing on a one year deal, Who do they want? 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:40.400 What are you really getting? 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.839 You really don't got one person in mind that could 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.920 you know, garner some attention, and that's to me is 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.280 George Lewis. I mean, he's playing phenomenally at that slot cornerback. 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.600 Then you can help out a lot of teams in the. 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:52.880 National Football League. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:54.640 So that's the one guy that comes to mind that 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.160 you may be able to get that has value that 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:57.600 you might. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.439 Be able to get something back for. And maybe Old Diggi. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:05.640 Zoo, maybe Old Diggie Zoo, maybe Flashy, maybe Cooks. You 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.079 have some guys in the wide receiver room as well. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.440 I mean, you're getting nothing at this point. And I've 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.000 been on the fence when it comes down to all right, 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.360 one guy ain't gonna fix it. You know that you're 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.240 gonna have to get rid of some contracts. You got 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:19.840 to bring some guys in that can help. To me, 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.679 it's just I'm still in a position when I look 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.840 at the NFC East and I look at Philadelphia, I'm sorry, 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:29.120 I don't I look at that Teamak and Barkley did 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.839 something out standing yesterday, but overall, I'm looking at that 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.319 team saying, come on, now, they can be got this. 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.720 This is not that they're not world beaters. And even 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.960 when I look at the Commanders that the games that 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.800 they won, I'm like, look, these guys are not world beaters. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.160 You may have a chance, but you're so bad right now. 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.960 You're so bad right now. No, no, but you're so 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.240 bad right now that you you can't even fool yourself 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.160 to say, all right, we can get into a particular 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:55.920 situation with these guys and we may be able to 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.360 squeak out a win based off of what I mean. 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.360 This game to me is we talked about it all 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.440 last week came down to how many times they were 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.960 going to rush the ball? Was Atlanta gonna fool themselves 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:06.520 into throwing the ball a lot? And I think we 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.840 both were right because they ran the ball thirty times 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.960 that they threw the ball, completed nineteen passes for twenty four, 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.920 so pretty balanced attack. They didn't rush, they didn't have 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:16.839 four hundred yards a four hundred yard day on. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.520 Into one hundred on the nose. Come on that and 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:21.679 it's just wow to. 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.600 Me that once again, stuff that we talked about last 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:29.440 week in San Francisco reared its ugly head in Atlanta. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.319 What is going on with the communication in the back end? 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:32.760 Like? 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.320 What these these are? These are better than guys. 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:40.880 These are guys that can get the job done. Zero cover, 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.280 throw zero out out the just throw the coverage out 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:44.560 the door. 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:49.760 Take that zero and toss it in the flames. What 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:51.319 are we doing you? 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.040 You know what's coming when you're in a zero coverage 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.520 when the receiver splits her that tight. Why are we 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.400 all on the same level. It's a pick route waiting 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.080 to happen. Broke all this down last week and the 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:08.079 same thing happened once again, not once, but twice happened 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.400 to a veteran player, all pro player. 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:18.199 Here in the secondary. We had it, Corres, we had 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.400 correct How do you not say this? You pressed the 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.960 point and the two guys. 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:27.559 What are we doing in the secondary? 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:27.880 Man? 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:34.920 That's a problem, guys. Man, man, Look, this is how 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.600 you get here. It's this is this is. 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.480 How you get here, and it's it's it's sad to watch. 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.840 There's nine more weeks of this. Oh yeah, the quarterback 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.920 is out for multiple weeks, according to reports. We'll see 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:54.320 exactly what the wide receiver is doing that that pick 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.600 play with Diggs is out there, and I mean it was, 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.640 it was, it was. It was sad to watch the 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.360 presept penalties. What seven of it? Yeah, seven of them 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.240 the fourth and one and they try to hand it 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.040 off to see that you can't get one yard one 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:17.800 yard tile? Guy? Who that's what my man anger in 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.319 that situation. There's gotta be a guy that say, you 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.760 know what this this look we're getting right here. Kill kill. 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.960 It's not it, let's kill kill put this kill. 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.240 You know, hey, my boy, see that I got this. 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:31.200 I got you know you throw it up, baby, I 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:35.400 got this. Man, Come on, man, you see that. 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:36.160 That was so bad. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.160 That was I think that was the one player in 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.800 the game that just, you know, you want to kick 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.520 something or push something over. When it happens, it's like, man, 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.160 we we didn't just do that. We did It's no 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.800 way we just did that fourth. And it's gonna go 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:52.400 for put your office back, handing off the lifty or something, 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:58.800 doing do something else. And and I guess my thing 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.079 is and I'm waiting for to hear from Mike McCarthy 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.200 because I know that they're gonna ask the question, you know, 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.440 do you because he has veto power No, we're not 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.600 gonna do that. I mean, they have to signal him 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.560 in his head said to say that this is what hey, 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.360 we got our look, this is what we're about to do. 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.160 He knows that this doesn't work at this point in 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.520 the game. What this looks like, how bad this is 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.319 gonna be? The field position that you're about to give up. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.480 You know exactly what this is. And it's like, if 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.199 you're just playing the percentages, you could talk about coaches 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.200 coaching each and every week, how the coaching is an 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.480 art form. But then there are other things that happen 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.600 in the course of a game that make you say, 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.079 there's no way, there's no way that y'all prepared all 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.840 week zero coverage and then this happens to you that 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.080 you have ten men on the field, then this is 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:45.120 another one they got ten men, or or that we're 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.480 gonna go away from one running back insert another running 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.400 back and then we have twelve men in the huddle. 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.400 It's like, it's things like that that happen through the 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.480 course of a football game that even if you don't 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.680 know anything about it, you have to put that on 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.199 the head of the coach and say, come on, now, 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.360 you that's in preparation. That's in how you get your 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:06.760 team ready to play this game. Look the first play, 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.520 the absolute first play from scrimmage, Atlanta runs that zone, 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:15.200 read that zone run right man de Marvin Overshawan. 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.040 Takes off after it. I'm like, oh, yeah, defense ready. 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.200 Robinson just goes back the other way. 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:22.080 I was crazy. 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:26.840 I'm like, how how even when we are everybody's in position, 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.720 they're still able to rattle off a seven eight yard 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:31.040 run like that? 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:31.400 To me? 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.160 That to me, and this guy's like, Eric Hendricks is 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.720 the you know, the linebacking cord that I sit back 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.080 and I go, man, I know these guys are each 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.640 and every week with ice packs on their neck, going, 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.720 how the heck did we get here? 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.800 How did we get here? How did it get from this? 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.880 Because you can't you couldn't have projected that this production 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.640 on defense would have had this steep of a decline. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:59.080 It's a steep man. It hurts. It hurts the watch, 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.240 It hurts to watch, It hurts to say. 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.760 It hurts to say that a team that was number 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:08.240 one on offense last season now that the office looks 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.640 completely disjointed and out of balance. 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.840 I still still I can't believe throw back shoulder face. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:21.680 Yes, let me get that back shoulder face going, let's 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.600 get that first down? Baby? What are we doing? Ladies 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:29.400 and gentlemen, what that's that's that's the fourth down. That's it. 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.840 That's the fourth fourth and one and you do a 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.240 back man? Is that the play where Big Mike through 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.160 the through the set down? N he do it on 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.520 the fourth and one to CD that that's what he 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.720 threw it down then digging block right and then they 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.080 ran to play again later on and it worked. But 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.520 but it's like, that's that's when you know, it's like 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.040 fourth and one. You're gonna go on a jet suite 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.280 with CD on a fourth and one. I gotta get it, 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:59.280 like even I got. And it's official with this, with 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:03.480 this this, it's official with this old line. It's it's 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.320 you had the worst rush or the roast worst pass 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.880 rush defense in the National Football League as far as 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.840 pressures and sacks, sacks in the first quarter and you 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.080 running for his life the whole game. How many they 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.160 finished with three? They finished with three And this is 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.440 the worst pass rush in the National Football thirty second 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.200 look like, here's some force I'm up there. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.080 What looking at they chops? I I was, I was, 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.960 It's a rap for me. It's bad. It's bad. Office 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.560 of Office Jackson went in. They put on the seventy five, 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.240 Joe Green, Jersey White fifty four. I mean, like, what 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:37.960 do we what are we doing? What is this? 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:38.520 What is this? 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:39.280 What is this? 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:39.920 But the U. 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.640 What's our confidence level? The coaching staff? Let's answer that 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.280 question when we come back with Hack Maharrison, Barry Church, 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.360 I'm going to be strugged.

On a Monday, Cowboys 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.159 lose again. Barry Church is here with us. I'm new. 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:37.040 We struggled, so we'll get to Ezekiel Elliott here in 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.680 a minute in the segment. But what is the confidence 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:45.040 level now in the head coach Mike McCarthy. His contract 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:49.520 is up after the season. Dennis Allen of the Saints 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:58.360 was fired today. They lost to Carolina, they beat Arlington, 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.440 when here's everything here and win another game. I mean 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:05.480 you lost to the pants who put Bryce Young back 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.919 in the start lineup by winning games. But like he 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.480 was in Alabama one more time, so he was fired. 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.280 So so that's the second fireing got Robert solid with 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.520 the Jets. Gun Dennis Allen, gun Jerry say he's not 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:22.359 firing Mike McCray, but just right now, after what you 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.760 saw on Sunday thought, I. 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:30.120 Mean, my confidence level it's extremely low, extremely low right 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:33.919 now because what he's in charge of has not, you know, 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.600 panned out offensively. I understand last year was last year 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.159 great offense. This year you're head of the offense. You 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.560 got one of the worst offices in the National Football League, 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:44.480 not only red zone but just overall one of the 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.879 worst offenses International Football League. 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:47.840 You're head of game. 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.800 Management as well, and at the end of the day, 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:51.080 you may say, you know, hey, that. 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:53.480 Wasn't my call to go special stays, whatever do you're. 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.880 The head coach, that's that's your decision making, all right, 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.840 that not only the decision to throw the fake punt 0:20:59.920 --> 0:21:02.200 or do the East West reverse on fourth and one, 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:05.920 but you're setting your defense up who's already struggling. 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:07.000 With short fields. 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:09.560 I mean that these are the decisions that come down 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:11.159 on the head coach, and he hasn't been doing a 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:14.280 great job all season long when it comes to that. Now, 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:17.520 with that being said, you know, after the game was over, 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.320 Jerry came down and something that happened was he you know, 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.000 went in there and it gave a speech to the team. 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.280 That's something that you don't want that to happen if 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.360 you're a head coach or a player. I was twenty ten, 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.439 mister Jones did the same thing. Came into the speech 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:34.080 to us because we were playing God awful and as 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.000 soon as that speech was done, somebody had to go, 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.399 and we all know it was it was coach Wade. 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.600 He had went and gone, all right, So those that's 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:43.320 what you don't want to happen. You don't want your 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:45.600 owner to have to come down and address the team. 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:47.600 It's okay if he addresses the media out there after 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.040 the game. But when he comes in and addresses the team, yeah, 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.439 that's something that you don't want to have happened. So 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:58.080 to me, my confidence overall is just extremely low. And 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:01.399 you could tell the frustrations around this whole building that 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:02.680 it ain't ain't good. 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:03.800 Brother, it ain't good. 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:05.600 It ain't good. I'm glad. 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:08.159 I'm glad you addressed it because I thought that was 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.600 one of those like, you know, moments. 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.359 Want yeah, you don't want to see that. 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:16.280 But Barry Well, I mean I look at what just 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.200 what has happened around the league this year, and we've 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:22.600 seen coaches get fired already. For less, just started in 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:26.120 New York with Robert Sala, who is the defensive coordinator 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:29.160 and the head coach. But his defense was performing well. 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:31.000 But the other side of the ball was it with 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:34.639 guys that he appointed because of the quarterbacks and he 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.919 ends up getting canned for that. Dennis Allen in the 0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:41.440 situation with the Saints, he's you know, look, things are 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:46.000 not panning out and organizations are just moving on. I 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:48.200 look at I look at Mike McCarthy, and as much 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:51.200 as as I have admired his his career, I looked 0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:53.119 at a guy that was doomed from the beginning, walking 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:55.960 into the season without a contract. Everybody knew that. Look 0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:57.720 at things didn't get off to a great start. What 0:22:57.800 --> 0:22:59.840 the rumblings were going to be. And we're already there 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:02.760 laying Doug hot see whatever else you want to put 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:05.399 on top of it. Guys already talking about interviewing for 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.080 his job through the medium. We got a lot of 0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.240 that going on. And if you're if you're Mike McCarthy, 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:12.159 you've got to be sitting there. You know I'm not, 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:14.800 you know, his pillow talking at Night's got to be baby, 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:16.280 I've been set. 0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:16.560 Up to fail. 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:17.160 You know. 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:20.560 This is a tough one to have to overcome, especially 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:22.280 when you can go back and look at the tape 0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:24.760 and see your players not playing one hundred percent up 0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:26.720 to their potential. How do you rate that as a 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:28.919 coach when you're like, dude, I've seen you do this 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:31.160 one hundred times and you're gonna do it like that now? 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:34.879 Like it's look, you're not setting your defense up for 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.320 any success with the play calling. I mean it looks 0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:39.720 rather similar to some play calling that we've had in 0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:42.200 the past. Herky Jerker, you know, rhythm to it. None 0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:45.240 of those things, and you want to call it personnel changes. 0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:48.000 We said last week you're gonna have to change something 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:50.280 within your scheme coming into this game, because the way 0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:53.080 that you played the week before, that ain't it. Playing 0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:55.399 against Detroit, that ain't it. That's not gonna have you 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:58.040 get you any success. What do you turn around to 0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:00.760 do you throw the ball fifty times? You throw the 0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:04.480 ball fifty times, And that to me is just basically saying, look, 0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:07.200 we have no continuity as an offense. Your offensive line 0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:12.199 isn't giving you anything. Your receiving corps is very in us, 0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:16.199 it's inconsistent, and teams have already told you have already 0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:18.399 said we have one philosophy when we come in to 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:21.040 play the Dallas Cowboys is take away ceedee lamb and 0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:24.040 let everybody else do they thing. And why they haven't 0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.080 been able to scheme around that, I don't know. But 0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:28.879 it's a tough position to be in as a coach. 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:31.520 He can't make any changes, and at this point, I 0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:33.440 dare say that probably the players that's on the roster 0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:34.560 right now don't believe him. 0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:36.400 Can anything save him right now? 0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:39.240 I mean, I know a ton of injuries, but all 0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:41.879 your stars have been gone you know, now you're losing 0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:42.600 your quarterback. 0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:44.159 Is that something that you know. 0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:46.720 If theason comes around and can say no, it's over 0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:47.840 with the playoff. 0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:53.560 The playoff loss damaged it. Remember now we were all 0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:56.040 we were doing podcasts, were wondering was he going to 0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:58.719 be the coach for a while. So that was that 0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:02.560 was talked about. So he decided to keep him. But hey, 0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:05.399 no contract for you, no contract for anybody else on 0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:08.600 the staff. So right there, it was a fire. It 0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:10.879 was a small fire because you're like, hey, you know, 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.560 one year deal. What's going on with a little fire there, 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:17.000 But you can't throw logs on it each week with 0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:20.399 the pre snap penalties, guys don't know where to go. 0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:22.800 But you're just throwing logs on the fire, making it bigger. 0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:25.080 So that part of Mike Heckmer, that's where you got 0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:27.240 to look at it. You're not doing yourself any favors 0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:29.720 with what's been going on and how you've been coaching 0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:30.000 the team. 0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:33.160 We got to go back to fundamentals. I mean, man, 0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:34.960 this is bad when you go back. 0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:37.400 Guys, when you think about this team two years ago, 0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:39.879 all right, coming off the first twelve and five season, 0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:44.040 you felt as though you were on the brink of 0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:47.200 a breakout season that we were building the teams. Everybody 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:49.000 was doing to look at this roster deal, you know, 0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.840 see where the talent is. And the Cowboys roster always 0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:54.040 came out. You said, this is one of the more 0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:58.560 talented rosters in the NFL. The coaching was there doing 0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:02.960 those seasons. How much of the responsibility falls on the players? 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.199 Because if you talk, if I just go back to 0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:07.880 green Bay last year, that green Bay game where you're 0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:10.040 on a role in winning games at home, and you 0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:13.280 come out and you play like that, your defense. 0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:13.760 Plays like that. 0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:16.280 I mean, no matter how you would have executed that day, 0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:18.760 green Bay would have beat you with your best and 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:21.320 their best because you couldn't stop them. 0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:23.640 How much of it do you put on the players too? 0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:25.879 I know Mike McCarthy's going to be the scapegoat no 0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:28.439 matter what, right, but how much of it do you put. 0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:28.840 On the players? 0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:29.000 Oh? 0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:30.080 You gotta put a lot on the players. 0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:32.919 And we talked about it because these guys have underperformed 0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:33.919 across the board. 0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:35.600 When you look at a defensive. 0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:39.119 Line wise underperformed, second level linebackers, wide receivers, even the 0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:41.320 quarterback has underperformed from. 0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:42.879 What we were used to seeing from these guys. 0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:45.879 But I think what hurts Mike McCarthy once again in 0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:47.439 this light is you have to take a look at 0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:49.879 these ls and these l's that are at home and 0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:51.440 on primetime games. 0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:56.159 He's getting embarrassed. Todd Archer, and I would when I 0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:59.440 would defend McCarthy the past few years, Todd Archer of 0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:02.800 ESPN what always headed me. He was brought in here 0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:05.480 to take this team further than Jason Garrett. Hasn't happened yet. 0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:08.280 He's like, why was he Why was he brought here? 0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:10.440 He wasn't brought here to go lose in the first 0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:12.800 round to the Packers. He's like, Jason Garrett could do 0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:15.200 that for you. That was always Todd's thing to me. 0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:18.360 This guy was brought in as a Super Bowl championship 0:27:18.880 --> 0:27:20.879 coach and he was supposed to take you next level. 0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:24.840 And yes, only Andy Reid until this year had won 0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:27.280 more regular season games in him, but he didn't get 0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:31.120 it done. When you don't go through that window it's 0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:34.680 open for you, it's a problem. I look simply back 0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:37.280 over here at the Texas Rangers. They went through that 0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:40.680 little window. Had the window won a World Series last year. 0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:45.480 This year things went haywire byke most she's fired. Please cut. 0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:47.360 They're begging him to come. He mayn't retire on us, now, 0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:52.280 come on back. Mike didn't go through that window, so 0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:55.520 he left himself here as as big a fan as 0:27:55.520 --> 0:27:58.560 I have been waving the flag from Mike McCarthy. Man, brother, 0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:02.280 you're throwing logs on the fire. Can't defended. And we 0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:05.760 all know this. You've got friends, You've got friends, I've 0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:09.800 got friends. Fan base is not happy. You can't keep 0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:13.800 selling this because now folks getting off the hopium, people 0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:18.040 getting rehab, they getting people bucking up, them all going 0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:23.679 down right, you guys know, let let that Let that 0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:26.040 place be filled with a bunch of Eagle fans and 0:28:26.119 --> 0:28:28.320 Texans faith. You know, that's what happened down the stress 0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:32.439 because the tickets, These tickets are not cheap. Anybody had 0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:34.320 season tickets, man, that's what I started getting. Hey man, 0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:35.360 it's too much to eat them. 0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:39.080 So you know what you do, start selling them. 0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:40.440 And come December it could be a whole bunch of others. 0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.560 That's it.

New England was a bad yeah, dynamic. 0:40:16.360 --> 0:40:17.000 He's that man. 0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:22.799 Fooled again, fooled again, and Ezekiel Elliott sent home mutually 0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:27.840 mutually agreed upon the Zeke would stay at home and 0:40:28.520 --> 0:40:31.879 healthy scratch for the game. Before the season, we had 0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:33.839 a we had a little total how many yards Zeke 0:40:33.840 --> 0:40:38.400 would get? Dude it buck forty nine? Who had a 0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:39.880 buck forty nine? That was what he got? 0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:43.000 Right now. I thought somebody predicted the buck forty nine, Like, 0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:43.800 oh man. 0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:46.120 I should play the numbers. I went for sixty five. 0:40:46.480 --> 0:40:49.280 You know, I thought he would get them eight tubs, 0:40:49.320 --> 0:40:51.400 but he had him at five twenty five. He you 0:40:51.480 --> 0:40:53.239 have seven hundred and me. I don't know if he 0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:55.360 gonna meet none of them knows this woman is he 0:40:55.480 --> 0:40:57.480 going to be on the teams? Really? The question, that's 0:40:57.640 --> 0:41:00.279 that's where we're at now. Forget meeting a number. Yeah, 0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:03.440 do you keep him on the team for missing multiple 0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:06.600 meetings and ultimately it comes down professionalism. 0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:08.520 That's what it comes down to. Are you gonna be 0:41:08.960 --> 0:41:09.680 the team player? 0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:12.800 Like, are you like we all understand, you're gonna go 0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:14.600 down with one of the best running backs to ever 0:41:14.680 --> 0:41:15.960 play for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:17.400 You know, look at the looking at his numbers. 0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:20.480 But if you're not providing anything for this team as 0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:24.200 far as offensively special teams, and you're gonna also have 0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:26.600 an attitude in the locker room, be a distraction in 0:41:26.680 --> 0:41:27.319 that locker room? 0:41:27.680 --> 0:41:30.440 What warrants the jersey at that point, you know, that's 0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:32.319 where it comes to me, like what warrants you having 0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:33.080 a jersey. 0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:35.879 And still having a spot on the roster if you're 0:41:35.920 --> 0:41:37.680 not gonna go out there and be that scout team 0:41:37.760 --> 0:41:39.640 running back or go out there and give these guys 0:41:39.680 --> 0:41:41.680 a look to what they're playing up against next. 0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:42.320 I understand it. 0:41:42.960 --> 0:41:45.160 It's embarrassing. It's a shot to the pride, it's a 0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:47.399 shot to the ego. I've been there, not my last 0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:49.360 year Jacksonville. I went from starting to just playing on 0:41:49.480 --> 0:41:51.880 third downs, and it hurts. It hurts because you're like, man, 0:41:51.920 --> 0:41:53.919 I can still But then when you look at the tape. 0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:55.719 You gotta look at yourself in the mirror and you 0:41:55.800 --> 0:41:57.279 look at the tape and you sit there and say, man, 0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:00.359 I'm not that player that I once was. One percent 0:42:00.400 --> 0:42:02.600 of the guys that played this game for a long 0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:04.400 stretch of period of time, this happens. 0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:07.040 I mean, look look at Romo his last game for 0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:07.800 the Dallas Cowboys. 0:42:07.840 --> 0:42:08.520 He was on the bench. 0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:11.040 I mean, you look at Jerry Rice. He bounced all 0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:11.400 over the. 0:42:11.400 --> 0:42:14.560 Place, Seattle, Seattle, Jerry right, bounced all over the place. 0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:17.080 Even Danz Bryant, you know, he was cut from here. 0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:18.920 Went to the sense of trying to go back. It 0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:21.239 wasn't able to do it because of injuries. That you 0:42:21.440 --> 0:42:24.000 never leave the game, how you want to leave. The 0:42:24.120 --> 0:42:26.520 only person I was able to do that was Tom Brady. 0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:28.399 He was able to play as long as he wanted 0:42:28.440 --> 0:42:30.840 to play, got to the playoffs, got bounced, and he 0:42:30.960 --> 0:42:32.719 called it today. He rode on his high horse up 0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:33.120 out of here. 0:42:33.280 --> 0:42:39.600 Cowboys. They did left. He did on Super Bowl when 0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:43.400 Michael Strahan left. But you're right out like that. Not 0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:45.759 a fairy tale ending, though, but but but he comes 0:42:45.800 --> 0:42:48.799 to question should this be the end? Look? 0:42:49.440 --> 0:42:51.399 I was one of those people that felt like all 0:42:51.440 --> 0:42:54.359 the success he was laughing having last season, I'm like, damn, 0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:56.000 he could be doing that here for us, you know, 0:42:56.320 --> 0:43:00.480 was missing it. It comes down to it. It's all 0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:02.760 kinds of stories around the building. Who wanted them, who didn't, 0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:05.400 who whatever, who bought him back. We'll never know. I mean, 0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:07.320 it'll never be come out and watch. But whatever the 0:43:07.400 --> 0:43:11.480 expectation was of Zeke hasn't come to fruition. To me, 0:43:11.600 --> 0:43:13.560 I still look at this running room, running back room 0:43:13.640 --> 0:43:17.000 and say, it ain't good. Somebody has to You could 0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:19.839 give it to Rico Dowdle twelve carries seventy five yards, 0:43:19.880 --> 0:43:22.399 probably had one of his best games, fifteen yard run 0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:25.640 that probably let you say, hey, number twenty three has 0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:27.919 some juice to him. But outside of that, you hadn't 0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:30.200 gotten anything. We've been begging for Dak to run the ball. 0:43:30.280 --> 0:43:32.680 Finally got that, and then he blows his hamstring. So 0:43:32.719 --> 0:43:35.200 it's like, damn, you know, we can't win for losing 0:43:35.440 --> 0:43:38.640 in these situations, and we absolutely do not know what 0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:40.040 Deuce has. 0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:40.840 We don't know. 0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:41.840 It's time they got it. 0:43:42.120 --> 0:43:45.680 You gotta show we don't know, and we've asked what 0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:47.800 Dalvin Cook has. Two Carris for eight yards. 0:43:47.880 --> 0:43:50.640 I mean, if it's running back by committee or giving 0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:53.239 guy's opportunity to tote the rock. We're not getting enough 0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:55.320 out of that room, and it's not changing enough of 0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:57.879 the dynamic on the ground game for it to even 0:43:57.920 --> 0:43:58.480 be sufficient. 0:43:58.600 --> 0:44:00.920 Heck, may you said so thing right there, and I 0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:03.640 really really think it goes back to the start of 0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:05.799 the conversation we talk about Trey Lance. You still start 0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:08.719 looking at twenty five. Is deuce on. Somebody that you 0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:11.000 want to have a role for needs to be here 0:44:11.040 --> 0:44:13.360 in twenty twenty five. You need to start to figure 0:44:13.400 --> 0:44:16.799 that out. Having an Ezekiel Elliott is Ezekiel Elliott here 0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:17.680 in twenty twenty five. 0:44:17.960 --> 0:44:19.480 No, no, no no. 0:44:20.000 --> 0:44:23.080 So as you're looking at what this schedule is and 0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:28.400 who you have to play, let him move on. You 0:44:28.960 --> 0:44:32.920 wanted it, you tried it, it's not worked out, Say goodbye, 0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:37.040 call it. Start to think about playing other guys, because 0:44:37.040 --> 0:44:39.480 you've got to figure out this roster, especially with one 0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:42.120 of you guys who can help us in twenty twenty five. 0:44:42.440 --> 0:44:46.120 Put enough tape out there. Most likely you'll have a 0:44:46.200 --> 0:44:48.440 new coach. At least let that new coach in the 0:44:48.480 --> 0:44:51.800 staff have some real tape of what these guys look like, 0:44:53.520 --> 0:44:56.360 do they fit? Is this something you can work with? 0:44:57.280 --> 0:44:59.880 They've got to answer those questions because if you're a 0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:02.520 general manager, you're looking at this year, but you've got 0:45:02.600 --> 0:45:04.759 to look at next year. You've got to start to 0:45:04.800 --> 0:45:08.200 look at next year. Boy, interesting show coming up top 0:45:08.239 --> 0:45:11.240 of the hour, Mike McCarthy will let us know exactly 0:45:11.920 --> 0:45:14.960 what is going on with Dak Prescott reports our hamstring 0:45:15.000 --> 0:45:17.759 injury out multiple weeks, what's going on with Ceedee Lamb 0:45:17.800 --> 0:45:19.920 and anybody else, and also what's going on with Ezekiel 0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:21.719 Ellick will even still be on the team. Is it 0:45:21.760 --> 0:45:27.360 a fixable situation? Lots to go here, Cowboy Lamb, thank you, 0:45:27.480 --> 0:45:31.520 Heck Maharrison for joining us today, Barry Church, thank you Gruncher, 0:45:31.640 --> 0:45:34.840 Chris Bean, Jazz Josh, everybody who's been a part of this. 0:45:34.920 --> 0:45:37.200 The players line will return tomorrow right here on Dallas 0:45:37.280 --> 0:45:37.880 Cowboys Lick. 0:45:39.400 --> 0:45:42.360 This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 0:45:42.560 --> 0:45:44.359 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
