Speaker 4: That's why they already know yourself the truth.
Speaker 2: Let's can we start, McCarthy, Let's do the.
Speaker 3: Cowboys head coaches having appardected me today and uh so
Speaker 3: he's out. Dan Quinn ran a press conference, he uh,
Speaker 3: they're telling us he's gonna coach on Sunday against the Eagles,
Speaker 3: and like cars coaching cart is gonna coach on Sunday,
Speaker 3: And then dan Quinn said, you think the irishman's gonna
Speaker 3: miss this one?
Speaker 2: So meaning Mike.
Speaker 3: McCarthy, irishman from Pittsburgh, he's gonna play. He's gonna be
Speaker 3: there in pain. I mean, I just hope the man
Speaker 3: can stand and do whatever you gotta do.
Speaker 2: Man. I think I just we were just out there.
Speaker 4: I think I just told y'all this story back in
Speaker 4: twenty Back at twenty fifteen, Chicago Bear season.
Speaker 2: Was over with.
Speaker 4: I was waiting to get picked up on the roster.
Speaker 4: I was in contact with the Cowboys. Hey man, we're
Speaker 4: gonna still be trying to figure it out, but we're
Speaker 4: gonna make it happen. And I'm like, okay. So I'm
Speaker 4: working out and my stomach and my back just start
Speaker 4: hurting like crazy, and I'm like, man, I don't know
Speaker 4: what's going on. I'm trying to be cool. I'm taking
Speaker 4: thumbs and stuff. My wife was like I need to
Speaker 4: take you to the hospital, right So I finally get
Speaker 4: to the hospital, fall out before I get in there
Speaker 4: and they put me in on the bed and they're like,
Speaker 4: hey man, we gotta take you into surgery right now.
Speaker 4: Your appendix is about the burst, so we need to
Speaker 4: heard me get this thing out of there. So I
Speaker 4: know exactly what Big Mike is going through, and that
Speaker 4: is some painful stuff. But he's gonna be okay to
Speaker 4: coach on Sunday because he don't got to like run
Speaker 4: around and do all that stuff. And Big Mike seemed
Speaker 4: like a really tough guy, but I can tell you this,
Speaker 4: it is painful as hell. Your pendans don't even do
Speaker 4: nothing like what you got it from. It's just there.
Speaker 4: They're the cause problem. They're the call. Probably had to
Speaker 4: flush your mouth. I'm telling you right here right got
Speaker 4: the worst. Can't you feel sorry for I'm healthy, Big
Speaker 4: Mic the one to see he's gonna be all right.
Speaker 3: So my next question, since you've been there, sir, what
Speaker 3: was the recovery like for you and just bikes going
Speaker 3: in today that he's gonna be able to coach on Sunday.
Speaker 2: So what is that recovery? What are they what do
Speaker 2: they have you doing? Die? And everything? It was what
Speaker 2: goes into this?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I mean it's a quick, quick, little surgery.
Speaker 4: I was out the next morning. I went that night,
Speaker 4: and then when you get home, it's really the issue
Speaker 4: is the surgery is here kind of. I had mine
Speaker 4: through my my naval area, so it's in your stomach.
Speaker 4: So what you eat, it's it's tough for it to
Speaker 4: come out, so it's not necessarily like what you can eat.
Speaker 4: It's just knowing a you're probably going to be stopped
Speaker 4: up for a few maybe a week or two at
Speaker 4: this point, so that is kind of the thing that
Speaker 4: bothers you the most. But I think, like I said,
Speaker 4: he's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.
Speaker 2: That Smoothie King like that I thought.
Speaker 5: I thought I was Smoothie King to you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying right there?
Speaker 2: Will that be all right? Versus eating like I said, you.
Speaker 4: Know, yeah, I was normal because I didn't believe them,
Speaker 4: and then my stomach was like this.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, you're instructions.
Speaker 4: I don't care about superheroes when you're playing ball. Thought
Speaker 4: it for a year, but my back and stomach was
Speaker 4: hurting for a full year while I was in Chicago,
Speaker 4: and I just thought it was because football pay.
Speaker 2: And it was like, tell me, okay, I will do that.
Speaker 2: Take no chance.
Speaker 5: I want to smell them cookies and you'll be like man.
Speaker 4: Next to you smacking on you got me?
Speaker 2: Okay? All right? Hekma. When you heard the news, what
Speaker 2: was your thoughts?
Speaker 5: We don't have time for this, Mic. We don't have
Speaker 5: time right now.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't have time for this. You know, I don't care.
Speaker 4: I don't care about ju Ju opens solid. It's Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Mic. We don't need this, Mike. We just don't.
Speaker 4: And uh, that's tough, man, you know, Like like I
Speaker 4: heard from Dan Quinn, it's it'll be tough to keep
Speaker 4: him off the sideline. That's my whole thing is when
Speaker 4: you talk about the pain portion of it, how what's
Speaker 4: his goal it's going to be his pain threshold?
Speaker 2: Is he going to be on the sideline? Is he
Speaker 2: going to be in? You know? Where is he going
Speaker 2: to be? Did you just pull a tasty cake out
Speaker 2: of your pocket?
Speaker 6: Bro?
Speaker 4: The over there? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I had a
Speaker 4: flash you got it there? I had a flash back.
Speaker 3: Doubled up, man, I got to do another podcast down man.
Speaker 4: Man, We'll have time for it, but you know, need
Speaker 4: Mike to be well for Sunday night.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, you know, first of all, you know
Speaker 7: hopefully has a sexile recovery and all that good stuff.
Speaker 7: But yeah, when you talk about it, if it was
Speaker 7: any other maybe coaching staff or team out there, you
Speaker 7: might be like, I don't know, you know, a full
Speaker 7: week without the head coach being there, how's that going
Speaker 7: to affect the team. But when you look at it,
Speaker 7: you got a former head coach who led his team
Speaker 7: to the Super Bowl, and Dan Quinn, you know who's
Speaker 7: who's definitely capable of taking over duties for the week
Speaker 7: or whatever the case may be. And you got guys
Speaker 7: on this team who their experience and they have great leadership.
Speaker 7: When you talk about Dak Prescott offensively, when you talk
Speaker 7: about a d law on the defensive side of the ball,
Speaker 7: so to me, you know, it's like a well oiled machine. Now,
Speaker 7: these guys have been through it. They with the work
Speaker 7: on Dak Prescott's been in this offense. He's excelling in
Speaker 7: this offense. So to me, you know, it'll be as
Speaker 7: long as big mics on that field on Sunday.
Speaker 5: They'll be out on Sunday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Sunday they Mike with that kool aid man ends
Speaker 4: up cooking like he needs to be out there. This
Speaker 4: is a big time game for him and not like
Speaker 4: I said, I believe that by Sunday he'll be able
Speaker 4: to be on the sideline.
Speaker 5: Everything goes right, all right.
Speaker 2: So Church, let me hit you with this.
Speaker 3: Having been a former player, is this where the guys
Speaker 3: in the room handle their business in a different fashion
Speaker 3: or just more so going I mean, you know, more
Speaker 3: so going along with you. Everybody knows a big game.
Speaker 3: Nobody know it's coming to town this week. Coaches inside
Speaker 3: is sideline here for to day for a little bit.
Speaker 2: What's what? What does the room do?
Speaker 5: So the room?
Speaker 7: That's why you know when I talked about a little
Speaker 7: bit earlier, those leadership positions in each group, are they
Speaker 7: going to behot. You got the Dak Prescott over the
Speaker 7: quarterback room, the offense. He got d Law on one side.
Speaker 2: You got to experienced team. So I don't see this.
Speaker 7: You know this this team as a whole just kind
Speaker 7: of saying right, and we're going to get leadership where
Speaker 7: we're going to go with it.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 7: I feel as though these guys in the room will
Speaker 7: be able to get the young guys going in the
Speaker 7: right direction, whatever the case may be, and they want it.
Speaker 7: They understand what this matchup is going to bring it
Speaker 7: to the table. They understand that this could be, you know,
Speaker 7: the difference between winning a division and not and having
Speaker 7: home field or not. So they understand what this is.
Speaker 7: And you know, I don't expect any laps in these guys.
Speaker 7: They'll be ready to play when it comes Sunday because
Speaker 7: they got the leadership in place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 4: If you look at the team and you look at
Speaker 4: each level and the leaders that you have on each level,
Speaker 4: office of line, Tyren Smith, Zach Martin, you go to receivers,
Speaker 4: you got Brandon cous coming there, Ceee Lamb, same thing
Speaker 4: across the defense of d Law and Stephan Gilmore like.
Speaker 4: You got guys everywhere who can make sure that they
Speaker 4: have these guys ready to go. Dan Quinn al like
Speaker 4: you got around this team, there's a lot of guys
Speaker 4: who are going to make sure that these guys are
Speaker 4: doing what they need to do to be ready for Sunday. Man,
Speaker 4: this sa'ts your average week this says your average week
Speaker 4: of football. Bro. If you you you need something to
Speaker 4: self start in this week by something wrong with you.
Speaker 4: So this Philly week, you don't need no excuses. Man,
Speaker 4: you don't no excuse.
Speaker 2: So we're screaming Philly week now. You don't need no.
Speaker 4: Green whatever whatever it is. You know, hey, man, you
Speaker 4: know who coming and we made fun of.
Speaker 2: Absolutely you do you got shirts made up again? I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 5: He don't need want already.
Speaker 2: I'll check see if we got shirts made up this week?
Speaker 3: All right, speaking of Nick Sirianni, let's dive into this
Speaker 3: coaching matchup.
Speaker 5: Pleasant We're going head coaches hirts.
Speaker 2: That's what we look at. Who got totaling.
Speaker 4: Mike and I'm going if I'm going Big Mike and
Speaker 4: Syrianni and I'm going now this year, this year, I'm
Speaker 4: going big Mic.
Speaker 8: This year.
Speaker 4: I'm going big Mic handling all the injuries that he's handled,
Speaker 4: figuring out the way to adapter offense based off how
Speaker 4: you started. And then now Dak Prescott, who he's working
Speaker 4: with a nice calling plays and being able to elevate
Speaker 4: this office to another level. I'm seeing Big Mike do
Speaker 4: some stuff that he said that he was in the
Speaker 4: lab figuring out a couple years ago. Now that he
Speaker 4: has the opportunity to do it, you're seeing the fruits
Speaker 4: of that labor that he put in in the lab.
Speaker 4: And I think what you've seen this team do over
Speaker 4: the last four to five weeks is he has his
Speaker 4: handprints all over.
Speaker 5: I'm giving most.
Speaker 4: Of it to Big Mike, so I'm seeing him elevating
Speaker 4: at this moment. So Sirianni still good coach, went to
Speaker 4: Super Bowl last year, but right now I'm Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: So I'm giving this Big mic man. I'm gonna give
Speaker 4: credit where credit is due. This guy, Nick Sirianni. When
Speaker 4: he came into the league, I did not like him
Speaker 4: at all, but he's shown that he's a coach that
Speaker 4: can make adjustments. I've seen him time and time and
Speaker 4: gave me down at halftime, go way to half. Whatever
Speaker 4: he's doing, he's making the adjustments. But the disrespect if
Speaker 4: you think he's a better coach than Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy has all of the accolades.
Speaker 4: He all the skins on the wall, He's won a
Speaker 4: Super Bowl at six times in the NFC North, He's
Speaker 4: one been to four or doing this year though I understand,
Speaker 4: but I'm but we can't get we can't talk about
Speaker 4: coaches without giving their accolades, and I'm saying that the
Speaker 4: coaching job that he Let's just break it down to
Speaker 4: this year taking over offensive coordinator duties started off slow,
Speaker 4: but over the last six game like ballin do you
Speaker 4: look at dak into his play and where he is
Speaker 4: in the MVP race, It's because Mike has streamlined and
Speaker 4: he understands the guy that he has. The one thing
Speaker 4: about leadership is understanding personnel. How do I bring out
Speaker 4: the best that I have and the guys that I have?
Speaker 4: And I see Mike being able to do that. On
Speaker 4: the flip side with Sirianni, they have an offense that's
Speaker 4: Taylor made for Jalen Hurst. Jalen Hurst is successful and
Speaker 4: it's because of the system that they.
Speaker 7: Have for I'm a go I'm gonna go Sirianni on
Speaker 7: this one. I'm gonna go Sirianni. If we're talking about
Speaker 7: this year, I believe when you look at it, one
Speaker 7: they have with the best record in the National Football League.
Speaker 7: Right they got the best record in the National Football
Speaker 7: League by one game. But also you look at it
Speaker 7: the head to head, you know who won had to head.
Speaker 2: I understand right now.
Speaker 7: The Dallas Cowboys, they're flying on all cylinders. You look
Speaker 7: at these past five games, Dak Prescott, MVP. I get
Speaker 7: all that, But when you also look at it head
Speaker 7: to head, they lost to the Eagles, to Syrianni. And
Speaker 7: when you look at who they've beaten, because you got
Speaker 7: to bring that into the category as well, they've beaten one.
Speaker 2: Team with a winning record. We're talking about Seattle.
Speaker 7: You look at Philadelphia, they ran the Gauntlet, they beat
Speaker 7: Kansas City. You know, they beat Miami, they beat Buffalo.
Speaker 7: I forget though, they beat Dallas. So like when you
Speaker 7: look at who they've played against, the competition, what their
Speaker 7: record is overall, and the head to head. If we're
Speaker 7: going by this year, I gotta say Syrianne has been better. Now,
Speaker 7: if we go throughout the ladder of the season, Dallas
Speaker 7: gets this win against Philly and then they go right
Speaker 7: ale off beating Miami, beating Detroit, beating those teams. Then
Speaker 7: at the end of the season we can have this
Speaker 7: discussion again. But right now, I mean, if we're just
Speaker 7: going about right now, body of work you gotta.
Speaker 2: Lean towards Sirianni on this one. I'm when you church
Speaker 2: on that.
Speaker 3: And I also want to make sure that I give
Speaker 3: this part to Sirianni. In terms of God lost two coordinators.
Speaker 3: I thought they were gonna fall off.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: I thought they were gonna fall I got better record
Speaker 3: they did last year this time. So and Jalen Hurts
Speaker 3: is not he right now? And we saw last week
Speaker 3: get exposed. I think two weeks ago he was there.
Speaker 3: They keep finding ways when I'm like and I don't
Speaker 3: like that dude like that man went finds a player
Speaker 3: to find a way to go on the sideline. But
Speaker 3: I don't like him. And I'll say this in Mike's
Speaker 3: and Mike's for Mike, I don't think we could talk
Speaker 3: about enough of how good he has been as a
Speaker 3: coordinator and to.
Speaker 2: Do both jobs.
Speaker 3: Tony, you know, Nixie around does not call plays. Mike
Speaker 3: does call play. So to be able to call plays
Speaker 3: make the decisions as that's true, that's true. That is
Speaker 3: a lot to handle there. But I got to give
Speaker 3: it to Sirianni for for this year right now. But
Speaker 3: I tell you what, let my man come off the
Speaker 3: hospital bed and win game on Sunday, Mike.
Speaker 2: You know this is Mike. I mean, it's like this
Speaker 2: is this is too good. This is too good.
Speaker 4: It's like a boxing gatch right now, You're not gonna
Speaker 4: say nothing to do. That's okay, that's all right. That's
Speaker 4: like I'm sticking with Big Mike.
Speaker 3: And you know, you know, you know I feel about
Speaker 3: Big Night, but then got to win this one got
Speaker 3: to he got and I need to see the penalties
Speaker 3: cut down. I need to see the penalties cut down, man,
Speaker 3: I need to.
Speaker 2: I need you. So maybe the team is going, you know,
Speaker 2: rally around.
Speaker 3: And when one for win one for for mister Pittsburgh
Speaker 3: Big Mic and the Irishman win one for the Irishman.
Speaker 4: The ins big Big, Big Mic is doinge the hell
Speaker 4: of a yall. And I can't understand y'all's argument. I'm
Speaker 4: just you know, I'm a big MIC's side right now. Man,
Speaker 4: I'm a big Mic side. You lose Trayvon Diggs, Travishman
Speaker 4: being in and out the lineup, you're trying to figure
Speaker 4: out which the line you lose. L v Overshun is
Speaker 4: out a guy who you thought and you are able
Speaker 4: to because defensive coordinators have been able to find the
Speaker 4: run playing all that, but it all still falls on
Speaker 4: big Mic of him coaching these guys and having them
Speaker 4: in the right position, and he's been able to adjust
Speaker 4: this entire season offense. Don't look right. We figured out
Speaker 4: were missing this officeive Lineman figured out.
Speaker 3: So let me ask this question. You take a break
Speaker 3: when come back. What has is Mike mcca arthy an
Speaker 3: elite coach? Let's get into that next with Barry Church.

Speaker 3: Barry church.
Speaker 2: All joining me on New we Scruggs.
Speaker 3: Okay, going back into the coaching matchup right now, what
Speaker 3: is our take on Mike mc carty's head coach.
Speaker 2: In this league? Is he elited? Now?
Speaker 3: So many times people ask about Dak Prescele, is you
Speaker 3: an elite quarterback? People love to do that.
Speaker 2: It's Mike McCarthy an elite head coach. Damn.
Speaker 4: And I need a list of the elite guys. Like,
Speaker 4: what's the qualification for being elite? Do we consider Mike
Speaker 4: Tomlin an elite?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah, Well, I mean how many Super Bowls he got?
Speaker 4: All right, Well, I'm gonna give michaelmcarthy the not on
Speaker 4: being an elite coach for coming in here and twelve
Speaker 4: games back to back, because when he first got here,
Speaker 4: I'm sitting there looking at this Noland defense and how
Speaker 4: the team that responded with the COVID year and all
Speaker 4: that stuff, and I'm like, I don't know about this guy.
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I do remember big mic back
Speaker 4: in Green Bay, having multiple years and he was consistent
Speaker 4: with being able to get his team and where they
Speaker 4: needed to be.
Speaker 5: He has a super Bowl win. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: By the way, since he's been here, outside of that
Speaker 4: first year, we've been in contention and everybody's been saying
Speaker 4: that we are one of those competitive teams. We've been
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, just haven't been able to make it
Speaker 4: over that hump. But when you're looking at coaches around
Speaker 4: the league, I think it is hard to get a
Speaker 4: guy in your building who has you in position to
Speaker 4: go into the playoffs.
Speaker 5: Each year with a fighting chance. So I'm leaning more
Speaker 5: toward elite.
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean everything that you just said, Man, it's
Speaker 4: spot on, especially when you say about the adjustments that
Speaker 4: he had to make after his first year with a
Speaker 4: historically bad defense and then bringing in Dan Quinn. That's
Speaker 4: a man not having any ego and basically saying, look,
Speaker 4: I gotta make some changes. He makes those changes two
Speaker 4: back to back twelve and five seasons, and this is
Speaker 4: going to be a third straight winning season here in Dallas.
Speaker 4: I think the one thing that they are going to
Speaker 4: tie in to Mike right now is playoff wins.
Speaker 2: And losses.
Speaker 4: They want to see him win playoff games, get to
Speaker 4: an NFC championships.
Speaker 2: He's going to be judged by that.
Speaker 4: The regular season, he's already shown you he can master that,
Speaker 4: he can put the game plan together, the personnel together
Speaker 4: to win in the regular season. What is he going
Speaker 4: to do in the playoffs And that's what he's going
Speaker 4: to be judged by.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you, guys. I'm saying he's elite.
Speaker 2: You know, for all the reasons you guys.
Speaker 7: Named the twelve win back to backs, about to be
Speaker 7: the third possibly and you know, getting the playoffs and
Speaker 7: like you said, taking over offensively, you know, and doing
Speaker 7: what he's doing out there.
Speaker 2: So I gotta say, you.
Speaker 5: Know, he's elite.
Speaker 7: He's a super Bowl winning you know, coordinator, and he's
Speaker 7: won in multiple spots.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: It's not just like you know, he dominated in the
Speaker 7: Packers and he came here and was just like a
Speaker 7: roller coaster ride. Now it's always been a you know,
Speaker 7: an uphill climb and he's been ascending that climb. So
Speaker 7: to me, I gotta says elite. If we're gonna consider
Speaker 7: Tomlin and you know.
Speaker 2: Maybe Peyton.
Speaker 7: Some people say Peyton's an elite coach. I gotta throw
Speaker 7: Tomlin in the mix because he's bringing his system with it.
Speaker 7: It's not like, you know, he's coming over here just
Speaker 7: to be the overwatch or whatever for the rest of
Speaker 7: the offensive coordinator and a defense coordinator to do their thing.
Speaker 5: He's coming in here.
Speaker 7: He's bringing his system in here, and we see now
Speaker 7: that that system has has worked. I mean, I guess
Speaker 7: he's done with you know, elite quarterbacks. He's at Brett
Speaker 7: fav he's at Aaron Rodgers, he's gotten now Dak Prescott.
Speaker 7: But to me, you know, he's helping these guys get
Speaker 7: to where the position they are right now. So I
Speaker 7: gotta say the lead.
Speaker 4: I want to bring the note up too of last
Speaker 4: year with Cooper Rush. When you go through that and
Speaker 4: you're like, okay, I like the season might be over
Speaker 4: with right everybody's looking at this team and saying, well, you,
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott's out.
Speaker 5: We saw what happened when he when it's late, well
Speaker 5: we already saw this.
Speaker 4: And they go out and find a way to win
Speaker 4: those games to still get twelve to twelve wins on
Speaker 4: the season. Yeah, that's that's an elite coaching it just
Speaker 4: doesn't happen around the league. You see a lot of
Speaker 4: teams now struggling with backup quarterbacks getting in the game,
Speaker 4: and you like, why are we even fighting?
Speaker 3: So I had this conversation with somebody over the week,
Speaker 3: and who's bashing McCarthy, And I just said.
Speaker 2: He's an elite coach.
Speaker 3: He's an elite coach, And just look at the other
Speaker 3: coaches in this league. I said, you don't realize how
Speaker 3: good he is, you know, obviously you just look at
Speaker 3: just who's got wins right now currently coaching Belichick number
Speaker 3: one right, three hundred wins. We all know Bills going
Speaker 3: to Hall of Fame, and he's got the record for
Speaker 3: most Super bowls Andy Reid two hundred and fifty five wins.
Speaker 3: He's number two, going to the Hall of Fame, got
Speaker 3: two championships. Mike Tomlin is number three currently coaching right now,
Speaker 3: by the way, currently coaching one hundred seventy wins won
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. Pete Carroll one hundred and sixty seven wins.
Speaker 3: Who the Pete Carroll lose to last week, Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 3: And then after Pete Carroll is Mike McCarthy one hundred
Speaker 3: and sixty four wins. He's just three behind Pete Carroll.
Speaker 3: Both of them have one Super Bowl. Then behind McCarthy
Speaker 3: is Sean Payton with one hundred and fifty eight wins,
Speaker 3: has got a Super Bowl. John Harbor one hundred fifty
Speaker 3: six wins, He's got a Super Bowl as well. This
Speaker 3: man's name is up here with and right now, if
Speaker 3: you ask me, on this list, bella Chick is in
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame my opinion, Andy Reeve's going to
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame. In my opinion, Pete Carroll and
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin, in my opinion, the Hall of Fame coaches.
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy is right here with these guys. He is
Speaker 2: right here.
Speaker 3: And as much as people want to say, well he
Speaker 3: had Brett Faarr, he had Aaron Rodgers. Anybody remember Harro
Speaker 3: Rodgers first year, look a whole lot like Jordan Love.
Speaker 3: It was like, I don't know about this guy. And
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is going to the Hall of Fame, and
Speaker 3: they won a Super Bowl over at Jerry World together.
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy is an elite head coach, and for some
Speaker 3: reason a lot of people don't want to give that
Speaker 3: to him. And what he's done in Dallas. They're sitting
Speaker 3: at nine wins. When we all say they go win ten,
Speaker 3: we all go say, okay, when's the last time we
Speaker 3: seen three ten win seasons round this joint.
Speaker 2: There's been a minute two back to back twelve win seasons.
Speaker 3: We haven't seen us since Verry Switzerland's coaching when he
Speaker 3: had all that all of Jimmy's town.
Speaker 2: We haven't seen that around here. And for fans to
Speaker 2: so flippidly act like this man can't coach. I don't
Speaker 2: like decisions into this and do that. I'm like, did
Speaker 2: they win?
Speaker 3: The damn came against Seattle and it had one? Lady,
Speaker 3: I didn't like the margin. I said, oh you think
Speaker 3: this college football? Do you at the committee?
Speaker 2: Right? Right? I'm sorry, they're supposed to be Seattle.
Speaker 3: I with the nine and a half the Vegas they
Speaker 3: won the game, right, I'm like, I don't know what
Speaker 3: you guys are expecting here.
Speaker 2: And then I asked her, said, look at Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: You know they barely be Washington, right, you know didn't
Speaker 3: beat New England comfortably. I said, so these teams, this
Speaker 3: guy does all this. You ain't questioning here, but you
Speaker 3: want to run Mike McCarthy up and down the I'm like,
Speaker 3: I don't get it, guys, I really don't as good
Speaker 3: as Andy Reid is.
Speaker 2: Anybody seen that offense in the second half last three
Speaker 2: games ain't been no offense.
Speaker 4: But I've said it time and time again. It's an
Speaker 4: image problem with Mike and they he continued to to
Speaker 4: figure out ways how to disrespect. It's just like I've
Speaker 4: always said it, man, people that are easily disrespected, I
Speaker 4: have to ask myself, like why why why are you
Speaker 4: disrespecting this person that's shown you time and time again
Speaker 4: that they can do the job, They can get it done,
Speaker 4: they won championships, but yet you always disregard them anytime
Speaker 4: you start talking about coaches. Man two years ago was
Speaker 4: putting Sean Payton in his seat while he was out
Speaker 4: there coaching, Like the announcers are talking about Sean Payton,
Speaker 4: showing this man, why lens him on the sideline talking
Speaker 4: about another coach in the game.
Speaker 3: The owner did that, and we had a press conference
Speaker 3: in training camp asking about it. So you know, exactly
Speaker 3: help us here coach out on that.
Speaker 2: Let me doubting here and ain't gonna talk about it.
Speaker 2: I ain't putting no fire on him. I didn't like
Speaker 2: that I heard. I said, Oh, that's that's that's the thing,
Speaker 2: to be your own people. People, I mean, my goodness,
Speaker 2: gratious Jerry.
Speaker 4: Mike is doing. Mike is doing a phenophenomenal job. He's
Speaker 4: a phenomenal job. He will be judged by the playoffs,
Speaker 4: as y'all say, like okay, twelve where the people are
Speaker 4: tired of the twelve win seasons. They want to see
Speaker 4: that you are competitive in the playoff. That does not
Speaker 4: take away from how good Mike McCarthy has been coaching.
Speaker 4: We as a podcast want to see, Hey, when you
Speaker 4: come up against Philly in the playoffs or San Francis
Speaker 4: going to playoffs, that is what we want to see,
Speaker 4: and we want to see you be able to be
Speaker 4: successful against those teams.
Speaker 3: He's so so bad, he's he's paying for the sins
Speaker 3: of past coaches.
Speaker 2: This is really the truth.
Speaker 4: And how do we get here about winning the playoffs?
Speaker 4: You're talking about winning and the playoffs what we're talking about.
Speaker 3: Find somebody from from Chan Gaily, Okay Campbell, Uncle Wade jg.
Speaker 3: All of it comes into where you're sitting up here
Speaker 3: with fans, are frustrated people are mad. So it's not
Speaker 3: just Jason, it's the whole thing of what's happened before.
Speaker 3: And while Jerry gets it, the head coach is the
Speaker 3: one who has to pay.
Speaker 2: For it every time. Yeah, I believe, so, I know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Every So every new coach that coming here in the
Speaker 4: previous guy doesn't win a super Bowl to get you
Speaker 4: to that position, then it's so if Mike MacArthur don't
Speaker 4: do it to heal, but the next guy be paying
Speaker 4: for the sins of a list of people that then
Speaker 4: includes Big.
Speaker 3: Mic because we've never seen a drought like this in
Speaker 3: Cowboy history, and Gaboy fans mad. They want somebody to
Speaker 3: blame and we and you know, Jerry's not going anywhere.
Speaker 2: So who's that next person who's gonna catch it? It's
Speaker 2: gonna be the head coach always.
Speaker 3: But if things stay the same right now, if Philadelphia
Speaker 3: wins this division again and the Cowboys are a wildcard,
Speaker 3: the Cowboys could conceivably have to go down the exact
Speaker 3: same road they did last year, a wildcard team NFC
Speaker 3: South game on the road, and then you could be
Speaker 3: right there, potentially having to face San Francisco or Philadelphia and.
Speaker 2: In the divisional round.
Speaker 3: And if you don't win that, then people go say, oh, fire,
Speaker 3: And I'd say simply and do what where are you
Speaker 3: gonna go? Because Lord knows, we see more folks go
Speaker 3: down the firing road and not have answers. It is
Speaker 3: a hard thing to do to say we're getting rid
Speaker 3: of this guy.
Speaker 2: Look at Atlanta and we don't. Dan Quinn, we.
Speaker 3: Don't, okay, not even looking sense, been a rough road,
Speaker 3: Lovey Smith in Chicago, we don't what you love?
Speaker 2: You won ten games?
Speaker 3: Fire, We'll look at him that. They's talking about another
Speaker 3: coaching change. Old boy up there in Detroit, Bob Quinn,
Speaker 3: A nine and seven is not what we expect with
Speaker 3: the Detroit line. Jim cardwell, you know, took him, took
Speaker 3: him till Dan till Dan Dan Campbell, you got to
Speaker 3: uproot your franchise and go over the river through the woods.
Speaker 3: So for cowboy fans one to say, you know what
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy doesn't. If he don't get an sc Cherviys
Speaker 3: Shop game, he's gone, where do you go there?
Speaker 4: Well, Jerry's done a good job of getting guys that
Speaker 4: can at some point get your twelve wins thirteen wins
Speaker 4: and get you to the playoffs. He's found no way.
Speaker 4: And I think that is the most frustrating part about
Speaker 4: it is people start to have that belief because you
Speaker 4: watch the team during the season and you say, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: this the one, this the one, and then you get
Speaker 4: to that same brick wall last two years, the same
Speaker 4: exact team, and then you're not able to pull it off.
Speaker 4: And I think that is that's probably the most frustrating
Speaker 4: part about watching it. It's like, hey man, we know
Speaker 4: the teams that we need to beat. And that's the
Speaker 4: frustrating part about this season of like, okay, well San
Speaker 4: Francisco two years in a row. You go into the season,
Speaker 4: you say, okay, yeah, we get to do it in
Speaker 4: the regular season this time, and we get to show
Speaker 4: them that we that we belong. And then you don't
Speaker 4: go out there and do what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, what you just spoke about.
Speaker 4: Hey man, you can look back at that era his
Speaker 4: only game right when you're looking at winning the division
Speaker 4: and all this stuff and the best record, and you say, man, we.
Speaker 3: So it's interesting because I heard this on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 3: It was a great Nick Nick Harris had a great
Speaker 3: trivia question. Can he named the five starting offensive.
Speaker 2: Line in that cowboy was on the game? The Cowboys started, Yeah,
Speaker 2: like a long time ago. Martin Steele, theodist didn't start.
Speaker 2: Oh Man, Martin didn't play either.
Speaker 7: Mark it was like number seventy one.
Speaker 2: Where did he start?
Speaker 5: Left tackle?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Was guard?
Speaker 2: I think? Yeah? But who was the center? Was it
Speaker 2: Brett Hoffman? I was t J Bass? You start right?
Speaker 3: Your point the point being is we go back to
Speaker 3: McCarthy in terms of coaching, and look that that was.
Speaker 2: That was a winner.
Speaker 3: That was a game we thought they'd win, but it
Speaker 3: was also a game where they didn't have their offensive line,
Speaker 3: and it clearly showed Jonathan Gannon, who came from Philadelphia,
Speaker 3: had exactly all the right answers against the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: They didn't get it done. Too many mistakes in the game.
Speaker 5: Defense had had a rough go with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was not good.
Speaker 3: Josh Jobs out here cutting them up like he did
Speaker 3: against Tennessee. Wasn't a good game. But that was not
Speaker 3: That was not the Cowboys that we've seen here recently,
Speaker 3: and that was here it is you guys are still
Speaker 3: learning this new offense. You got three three new offensive
Speaker 3: line starters out there. I mean, this is a recipe
Speaker 3: of being able to have a bad upset game like
Speaker 3: that was there.
Speaker 4: Nobody's gonna give us excuse for that. We got talking
Speaker 4: about why you lost. We said they win that game.
Speaker 4: When you look at the end of the c if
Speaker 4: you lose, but like that is the opposite. I don't
Speaker 4: care no matter why off playing well. I gave defense
Speaker 4: to go out there and win the game. Look at Pittsburgh. Okay,
Speaker 4: what you're running out there on offense, Okay, your offensive trails.
Speaker 4: Our defense has to figure out the way in that
Speaker 4: at that in that game, especially with the Josh Dos
Speaker 4: playing a quarterback, you gotta figure out a way to
Speaker 4: go out there and win that game. No offensive line
Speaker 4: is start. You got to figure out a way not
Speaker 4: to allow two hundred yards of rushing like you got
Speaker 4: to figure out a way to do that.
Speaker 3: All right, second break here, Should the Eagles sit down?
Speaker 3: H Jalen hurt Yes. NFL network says says, yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: they right.
Speaker 2: What do you want I on open Day one to

Speaker 3: game against the Dallas Capital.
Speaker 2: Houston historian Yes come.
Speaker 3: Out on NFL Network and said that the Eagles need
Speaker 3: to go ahead and sit Jalen Hurts down, said, Jalen
Speaker 3: Hurts can't read defenses, that they be starting Marcus Mariota
Speaker 3: over over Hurts despite Jalen being what the twenty seventy
Speaker 3: three Yeah, but he says, man, get him healthying that
Speaker 3: that quote, Mariota would be better and more productive right
Speaker 3: now for the Eagles and Jalen Hurts in quote.
Speaker 2: That's a bad take. That's a that's a bad take.
Speaker 4: And and you know, if if he's making that, if
Speaker 4: he's making that assumption or saying that because he thinks
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurst is hurting, or he has some inside information
Speaker 4: and saying like he's not making these throws, he can't
Speaker 4: make this throw because he has showed the problem or
Speaker 4: his knee is on the cusple blowing up on him.
Speaker 4: Then I understand how you make that. But to say
Speaker 4: Jalen can't read defenses as dumb, Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 7: That's almost as bad as my you know, most improved.
Speaker 7: That's you're gonna put Maryota in there.
Speaker 5: Over Hurt that's a that's a horrible take.
Speaker 2: What's Marioda gonna give you out there? Man? What he
Speaker 2: gave me I got people fired.
Speaker 5: It's a rat man.
Speaker 2: I don't want to that's that's a bad.
Speaker 4: People say whatever bit so we can read it and
Speaker 4: then you know, they realize how dumb it sound.
Speaker 2: End up in the game.
Speaker 3: Last thirty starts. Jalen Hurts is twenty four and six
Speaker 3: Last thirty starts for Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 2: He's thirteen and seventeen. Dude, I just say now didn't
Speaker 2: make any sense. I mean, I understand it's a lot
Speaker 2: of people hate on Jalen Hurts exactly. Hear it all
Speaker 2: the time. We hear it all the time.
Speaker 4: He said, you know what, because he knew I was
Speaker 4: about to be People say, they said, they said.
Speaker 2: The car watching the players plays write dock down.
Speaker 4: Heckma said what he ready?
Speaker 3: The thing about everything David Are said, he really could
Speaker 3: have just put instead of saying Jayalen hrs. He could
Speaker 3: have put his brother down.
Speaker 2: There because can't look to me.
Speaker 3: You got you got Michael Thomas getting out on Twitter
Speaker 3: talking about it.
Speaker 2: You know, he has issues. He's not good, He's not
Speaker 2: he's not healthy. Mister slant, mister slan out there, you
Speaker 2: can't throw the ball down the field. I mean his
Speaker 2: brothers not good Saints.
Speaker 3: When the Saints fans booing in that, that's a kind
Speaker 3: fan base, you know.
Speaker 4: They on and they got weapons, they have they got
Speaker 4: they have weapons on all these there's no reason for
Speaker 4: you not to be able to make some something happen.
Speaker 2: Jameis Winston gonna go out there, probably win more games.
Speaker 2: To Derek Car, he'll throw it down the field.
Speaker 5: They got to what's old and Winston magic is all
Speaker 5: thirty for thirty.
Speaker 2: But dog.
Speaker 4: Car part of the third best quarterback on the on
Speaker 4: their team. He is taste some presents another channel. That's
Speaker 4: that's what I'm trying to figure out.
Speaker 5: What to tas him.
Speaker 2: He'll do?
Speaker 4: Who is he married to to keep getting these opportunities
Speaker 4: like this, because I mean, they continue to go to
Speaker 4: this guy that's not providing any production for him. And
Speaker 4: I mean cars should have never ended up in New
Speaker 4: Orleans anyway. But man to just I mean that's that
Speaker 4: sinkers is sinking fast does provide Payton got him paid
Speaker 4: because he was he was using them the right way.
Speaker 2: I understand. Twelve push operator.
Speaker 3: Point a week each week, score touchdown last week, man
Speaker 3: taste some more than car Car out there missing folks
Speaker 3: left and right on throw the ball down the field.
Speaker 2: Michael Thomas can't get a kill him fist.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I said, David should have been talking about
Speaker 3: his brother instead of sitting up here talking about Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 3: And and I go back to last year. We saw
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes was hurt, especially in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Guy wasn't right. This is what guys do. Guys playing
Speaker 2: this league. They're not a healthy not one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: So the center appearing, Hey Jayalen, you guys are playing
Speaker 3: your number one seed trying to get back to the.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl set down from Marcus Mario. That makes no sense.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm like.
Speaker 3: You're not even bringing in a quality guy. You got
Speaker 3: a dude who can't beat that Desmond d.
Speaker 2: Did you play hurt last year? Jalen Hurts? We played
Speaker 2: her last year, everybody.
Speaker 7: Because Minshew came in versus the Cowboys. I think the
Speaker 7: second game yea, yeah.
Speaker 4: And I mean I think I think the number one
Speaker 4: thing should be the showdown between these two great quarterbacks.
Speaker 4: But a guy like David car should be talking about
Speaker 4: that now, the fact that this man can't read that,
Speaker 4: and that's you.
Speaker 5: He mad that Stroud playing good over there.
Speaker 4: You remember his dayton I was there, the reason why
Speaker 4: I went to Texas. But in fairness, when he was
Speaker 4: in Houston, he was getting his head, he was getting up,
Speaker 4: so he might not be alright, and then they got
Speaker 4: rid of him, and then well I forgot who the
Speaker 4: quarterback was to championship against the Patriots as soon as
Speaker 4: he's been mad ever since he was.
Speaker 5: Why couldn't why couldn't it be like that.
Speaker 2: When I was?
Speaker 3: So you have Dak Prescott right now, corn in Vegas,
Speaker 3: co leader for the MVP Award with brock perty and
Speaker 3: then you got Jalen Hurts, who's in that top three
Speaker 3: right there. So yes, we are on NBC Sunday that
Speaker 3: football going to be treated to two guys who are
Speaker 3: right up there for the m v P who need
Speaker 3: to close the show. Well in December, I think all
Speaker 3: three of those quarterbacks, I think the quarterback who ends
Speaker 3: up having the better December between Purdy, Hurts and Prescott
Speaker 3: will most likely be the m v P. Here, So
Speaker 3: great opportunity for both of these guys to go ahead
Speaker 3: and pull ahead in the race, and you've got all
Speaker 3: the eyeballs in the world. This game is going to
Speaker 3: set a record, another NBC record, probably be the most
Speaker 3: watched game this year. If not, it's gonna be a
Speaker 3: top three because people gonna be out there white shit.
Speaker 4: Ge no, no, no, no. I'm saying this is crazy. Like
Speaker 4: the Cowboys got all these brown time football get might
Speaker 4: have double next year. They're gonna be fighting for extra
Speaker 4: y'all flex the Patriots. We want to flex the Cowboys back.
Speaker 4: They're gonna try to find a way to rewrite whatever
Speaker 4: so they can make sure when you're breaking all these records,
Speaker 4: somebody sitting there saying, man, look, I don't want nobody.
Speaker 2: Else on my on the team making too much in
Speaker 2: his mind.
Speaker 4: I want somebody else, Jerry, y'all figure out a way
Speaker 4: to bring body these contracts, because I want the Cowboys
Speaker 4: on there every time.
Speaker 3: The only flex available is going to be the final game.
Speaker 3: Looks like, man, because the Yeah, because CBS protected the
Speaker 3: Bills game, the Miami game is a protected game. And
Speaker 3: I don't know about Detroit, but I'm imagining they probably
Speaker 3: go ahead protect that one as well, just because that's
Speaker 3: what the you know, so Fox and CBS makes me
Speaker 3: because you get to protect the game and Lord knows, man,
Speaker 3: they know where, they know where to go, even when
Speaker 3: the Cowboys, even the Cowboy play the bum teams. I mean,
Speaker 3: you like the Patriots, how's that game of the week?
Speaker 3: They want it because they know go get numbers ahead.
Speaker 4: This is like, I'm just going back to Dak and
Speaker 4: the m v P and I don't I don't care
Speaker 4: if he gets in. One of the things I know
Speaker 4: Dak knows that he has to do is get to
Speaker 4: the NFC championship period, not the end. Obviously an MVP
Speaker 4: would bode well for him and ringing up and getting
Speaker 4: his money. But at the same time he's playing at
Speaker 4: that level. If he hasn't, he has the greatest opportunity
Speaker 4: to take that step and be the front runner of
Speaker 4: the MVP race. With the Eagles, the Bills, the Dolphins,
Speaker 4: and the Lions coming up the next four games, you
Speaker 4: pull those those games out, how do you how do
Speaker 4: you argue with his numbers up until this point and
Speaker 4: also solving the riddle of the interception.
Speaker 3: I think you should care because if they have any
Speaker 3: shot at you know, winning the East he's got to
Speaker 3: be that dude for the rest of this month.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely.
Speaker 3: And if we're honest, you see, guys, have everybody in
Speaker 3: there ever you looked at anybody's you know, statist to
Speaker 3: go car you got one career year. This may be
Speaker 3: that career year, and the career year to go ahead
Speaker 3: and get that MVP may not present itself again. I
Speaker 3: think this is, man, and it's just my thought, this
Speaker 3: is your best opportunity, probably your best opportunity of your career.
Speaker 3: Go get it, Go get this thing because these magical,
Speaker 3: because you need some magic to go in there to
Speaker 3: win these things here and this may be your best shot, man.
Speaker 2: And this is the best.
Speaker 7: Like you said, this is the best year to do it,
Speaker 7: because when you look at it, there's not a guy
Speaker 7: that's out there that's just having this unbelievable statistical year.
Speaker 2: Like you look in the past.
Speaker 7: You know Mahomes throwing fifty touchdowns, you know Tom Brady
Speaker 7: throwing fifty Paight Manning, those.
Speaker 2: Guys are going off the rack and Tyreek Hills having
Speaker 2: one of those years.
Speaker 7: But we all understand that if he's as a quarterback,
Speaker 7: it's a quarterback of quarterback. We all understand that he
Speaker 7: hopefully he gets opposite Player of the Year or something,
Speaker 7: because he's going nuts right now. But when you look
Speaker 7: at it, this is the best opportunity for him to
Speaker 7: get it because he can have, you know, thirty five
Speaker 7: touchdowns out there.
Speaker 2: Keep the picks low, and I might win it this year,
Speaker 2: which is out.
Speaker 3: So Peter King, I don't know if you read did
Speaker 3: you just comment all this week, but he came. He
Speaker 3: talked about the m v P race, and heck he
Speaker 3: showed where basically you have to be the one or
Speaker 3: two seed to win the award. When they've kind of
Speaker 3: looked back at that's that, that's what it takes. That's
Speaker 3: who they're giving it to.
Speaker 5: The I care, I care.
Speaker 2: I'm back in the car, Like if if the Eagles
Speaker 2: got the number one seed, you think that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they probably give it the two, one or two,
Speaker 4: so you probably give it to San.
Speaker 3: It's it's Matt Ryan won it the two seed and
Speaker 3: the Cowboys with one seed.
Speaker 5: I don't bring that one. I know m v P
Speaker 5: for that would go a long way, all right.
Speaker 4: That's because you know, Lamar, they start getting that leeway
Speaker 4: right when you get into the next season. A five
Speaker 4: season down the road, you'd be like, yeah, but he
Speaker 4: was the league MVP, all right.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 4: Needs some of that and and I want to see
Speaker 4: him with a Walter play Man of the Year last year,
Speaker 4: followed up with the League m v P this year,
Speaker 4: Like that's that's that's a big time stuff for a player.
Speaker 2: So hopefully, hopefully it pans out for to have that
Speaker 2: conversation one day in Canton, Ohio.
Speaker 3: As a quarterback, you need that that I mean, it's
Speaker 3: it's rare.
Speaker 2: Troutman never won an MVP.
Speaker 3: The offense was never designed for him to mostly ever
Speaker 3: threw in terms of touchdown passes and the seasons twenty
Speaker 3: three he got in because he was the winningest quarterback
Speaker 3: of the nineties and he had three Super Bowls titles. But
Speaker 3: otherwise you're looking at trying to win one of these
Speaker 3: things to get yourself in the conversation for the room,
Speaker 3: and it's either MVPs or you need super Bowl rings?
Speaker 4: Which one do you think Troy would trade? He damn
Speaker 4: sure he would trade a super Bowl for MVP. And
Speaker 4: that's what Dak. Dak needs an MVP to go with
Speaker 4: those numbers, to go with the contract.
Speaker 2: That's I mean, this is what this.
Speaker 4: We were just talking about Mike McCarthy and him and
Speaker 4: his record and what he's meant for Dallas, and it's
Speaker 4: all come down to the playoffs. What he does in
Speaker 4: the playoffs. They string a playoff run together to get
Speaker 4: them to the super Bowl and win the Lombardy.
Speaker 2: Man, why not be you know we could do both.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, Matt had an m v P
Speaker 3: year and took Atlanta to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Man, I thought you.
Speaker 3: Then Brian Schottenheimer, not Brian Shoheimer. Kyle Shanahan called him
Speaker 3: right out the game, called him.
Speaker 2: Right out that game.
Speaker 4: Surprising, still surprising that he's the coach that he is
Speaker 4: right now, surprising that he coached in that game.
Speaker 2: He was coaching. It was that guy.
Speaker 3: Surprised when the head coaches in San Francisco did the
Speaker 3: same thing again ten point yeah, yeah, yeah, because he
Speaker 3: he couldn't figure out that. You know, it wasn't time
Speaker 3: to be aggressive, was time to use the clock. But
Speaker 3: you want to ask Jimmy g to go win.
Speaker 2: Your Super Bowl instead of your run game.
Speaker 5: That's on three eleven passes complete.
Speaker 2: Still like.
Speaker 3: Double would have hit that post, that would have hit
Speaker 3: that double, would have been what you would have gotten
Speaker 3: to double. You would have got it to you a drop, right,
Speaker 3: So that was you over there, Joe. Oh yeah, all.
Speaker 2: Right, great show.
Speaker 5: Appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Barry Church here, thank you, Danny Craig, Chris Bean,
Speaker 3: thank you, Jazz, Will, Josh, everybody part the show.
