We actually started 29 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 7: the show a little early today because we need to 30 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 7: it finished a little early because at eleven thirty Central time, 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 7: we're going to have the end of season press conference 32 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 7: that will include Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, and Coach Schottenheimer 33 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 7: and they'll answer questions from the media. I assume a 34 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 7: lot of that will have to do with the defensive 35 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 7: coordinator position that is now vacant, and also lots of 36 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 7: other topics that the Cowboys will have to figure out 37 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 7: and answer here in this offseason. 38 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: Let's start first with the news around Ibra flus It. 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 7: I'll start with the question of speed of how fastest 40 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 7: decisions made, Brian. I know you've been saying for a 41 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 7: few weeks you expected it to be similar to what 42 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 7: they did with no One. Within a few days they 43 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 7: would make a decision, and obviously then you got to 44 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 7: go through the process of finding the next guy. But 45 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 7: were you guys at all surprised with how fast this 46 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 7: decision was made and announced. 47 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 6: Your head coach seems to be a man that leans 48 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 6: into urgency sometimes, and you know, just based on certain history, 49 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 6: the Joneses haven't always been that they like to kick 50 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 6: it and have meetings about stuff and talk about stuff. 51 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 6: I just started working here this year. I don't know 52 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 6: for short that that's how it go, but just from 53 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 6: my fan point of view, it always seems like a 54 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 6: lone conversation got to happen prior to something getting done. 55 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 6: And if I had to assume or guess nobody told 56 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 6: me this, I would say that your coach got done 57 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 6: with his player stuff, all right, practice squad guys, all 58 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 6: this kind of a man, be healthy, stay in shape, 59 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 6: all that. And I think he ran right to mister 60 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 6: Jones office and said, hey, man, we need a new coordinator. 61 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 6: And it's a lot of coordinators that's available right now, 62 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 6: and I don't want to miss this window. I want 63 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 6: to get the best one because I think that your 64 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 6: and look, Jerry probably has a good feel too, but 65 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 6: I think the head coach has a good feel for 66 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 6: what this offense is and I just want the defense 67 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 6: to have a perfect Men, let's put time into this, Like, 68 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 6: let's just not talk to Brian Shott and have and 69 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 6: be done with it, right, Let's talk to all these people. 70 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 6: Let's let's let's really do our due diligence let's start now, 71 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 6: Let's let's do this early. And I think that's the 72 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 6: case because Sarrens is still kind of hang around, you 73 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 6: know what I mean. I think there's a lot more 74 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 6: urgency on the defensive side then the team side. I 75 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 6: think teams will get handled down the road. But I 76 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 6: think all these updates that we're seeing from Rappaport and 77 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 6: all these Shefter and all those guys, Hey a new 78 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 6: coordinator here, I think Shoddy and company wants to get 79 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 6: on that right now. 80 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 5: So I think that's why it happens. 81 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 3: So, yeah, you have seven new coaches they're about to have, 82 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: you know, and all of a sudden, if you're if 83 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: seven openings, head coaches are going to be asked, who's 84 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: your staff? Who do you have in mind for defensive coordinator? 85 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: You having Vine for offensive corner? Who's your offensive line coach? 86 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: These coaches that are now interviewing for head coaching jobs 87 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 3: probably have guys in mind. But you don't want to 88 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: lose out on the opportunity that all of a sudden 89 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 3: you're waiting around ten twelve days and then all of 90 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: a sudden, some of these jobs are being filled, and 91 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: you know, you have seven head coaching jobs open, and 92 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 3: then you lose seven defensive coordinators and then you lose 93 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: out on the guy that you absolutely wanted to. I 94 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: think the sense of urgency should be applauded. I think 95 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 3: the fact that they they're in a situation now where 96 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 3: they could start interviewing guys because there's some guys you 97 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 3: want to talk to. Their window is very small right 98 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: now because of the NFL playoffs, so you've got to 99 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: make sure you're in on that group that they're not 100 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 3: going to They're not going to take a chance now 101 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 3: on this. They're going to go ahead, and I think 102 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 3: it's going to be a pretty extensive search too, with 103 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 3: the names that the guys that they want to talk to, 104 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: and I encourage that that's very I think that's a 105 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: wonderful thing. I think there's going to be some things 106 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 3: that they're going to get influenced by coaches that maybe 107 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 3: that Schottennimer had been with before, or or maybe guys 108 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: on the staff who had been with guys, whether it's 109 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 3: with the you know, with the Jets, Arizona, various programs. 110 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 3: There's going to be This is an organization that likes 111 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: to research and ask questions, so You're gonna get a 112 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 3: lot of input from various people about these these coordinators. 113 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: It's gonna be some names you probably not heard about 114 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 3: before that are going to be involved with this. You know, 115 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: everybody kind of talks about the top names. We've all 116 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: talked about Brian Flores and and guys like that. We 117 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 3: we can do that now, we allow allowed to do that. 118 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 5: We don't know. 119 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: Okay, well, the names you see. Sorry my apology, by 120 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: the way, this is my last show with Dallas Cowboys 121 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: dot Com. 122 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 2: I We'll get to that. 123 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 7: So. 124 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I thought with the season I've got, I've 125 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 3: got a bunch of I got a bunch of names 126 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 3: we can one. 127 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 2: We're gonna get. 128 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 3: We're gonna get that No, No, and I and I. 129 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 3: But that's what I'm saying though, that there they're going 130 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 3: to be some names that you're probably going to hear 131 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 3: that you know and like the name I mentioned, And 132 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 3: then there are going to be some names that you 133 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 3: don't know that have relationships with Schottenheimer through various avenues. 134 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 3: This is going to be an interesting search. Sorry about that, Derek. 135 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 8: Dog Well, honestly, I'm a little confused by your question, Derek, 136 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 8: because if anything, it feels like it should have happened 137 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 8: a while ago. 138 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 7: Well, I think the reason why the whole topic of speed. 139 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: Came up is because when. 140 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 7: Coach Shatti was asked about the timeline at his at 141 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 7: the press conference after the game, and I think this 142 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 7: was made. I think the media made a little more 143 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 7: of this because I think he was just kind of saying, 144 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 7: I don't know, ten twelve days. I don't think it was. 145 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 7: It was really meant like, this is our definitive in 146 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 7: ten to twelve days, will make this decision. 147 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 2: I think he was just kind of like, you know, 148 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 2: you answer question. 149 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 150 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 7: But I think it got a lot of press and 151 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 7: so I think there were some people who were like, wow, 152 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 7: they did it way ahead of the ten to twelve days, 153 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 7: which I'm thinking ten and twelve was probably his max, 154 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 7: like we're we're. 155 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: Gonna get it done within in the twelve days. 156 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 3: Right. 157 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 7: But that being said, were you surprised at the time frame? 158 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 7: It sounds like you weren't based upon what you'd heard 159 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 7: and the things you'd seen. 160 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 8: Well, when it happened at the moment, I was like, 161 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 8: oh okay, it happened. Yeah, So it was more of 162 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 8: that surprise, but not in the surprise that I didn't 163 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 8: expect the news to not happen. It was gonna happen 164 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 8: at some prit with all the speed of time. That's 165 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 8: the thing. It's like when you we and we've talked 166 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 8: about it weeks, a couple of weeks before the season ended, 167 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 8: the comments that Jerry Jones was making on the radio, 168 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 8: and just different things that you knew that was going 169 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 8: to probably most likely be the ultimate decision. So yeah, 170 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 8: why not do it right away and get it as 171 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 8: done as soon as possible. My question was in hearing 172 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 8: Brian Schottenheimer after the game, because he kept mentioning He's like, Okay, 173 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 8: we're gonna do the exit interviews with players and then 174 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 8: with the coach. And then in my head, I'm like, Okay, 175 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 8: I wonder what holds more value. What's more valuable the 176 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 8: player's comments or what the coaches have to say. But 177 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 8: at the same time, what the coaches have to say 178 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 8: is like, what you didn't have the right talent, and 179 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 8: we've talked about this before. You cannot replace the whole talent. 180 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 8: They helped him in the bye week after they made 181 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 8: those two traits, and even then it still wasn't productive. 182 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: Well, they're in a situation. Let's be honest. When he 183 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: sent him to the press box to coach, that's when 184 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: the the the decision was made. You know, that's you know, 185 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 3: I mean, I've asked people in the organization this question 186 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: about you know and with with in regards to Jerry Jones, 187 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 3: and do I feel like that it was, you know, 188 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 3: did Jerry Jones have enough after the Minnesota game? Was 189 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 3: that it was at the final straw, you know, and 190 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 3: so yeah, you look at you know that one was uh, 191 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 3: that one was that one was not answered. I was left, 192 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: as they say, I was left on read at that 193 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 3: point in time when it came to that question. So 194 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 3: I knew right then and there yet that was my HND. 195 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,359 Speaker 3: But I'm going to say this, when when Brian Schottenheimer said, mattyraflush, 196 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 3: you now go coach in the press box, Mattirafluh says, 197 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 3: your defensive coordinator, in my opinion, was completely. 198 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 6: Done also to Derek. And I was on social media 199 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 6: gloating about this. I think I got eva flues fire. 200 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 6: But but just listen, no, no to hit me out, Hamberg, 201 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 6: hit me out, because Brian Brod has told me one 202 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 6: day oh yeah, man, Jerry Jones gets a gets a 203 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 6: report for everything that's going on socials, you know what 204 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 6: I'm saying. And then Derek Eagleton came and told me, oh, yeah, 205 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 6: they listen to us. They listen to everything that we say. So, yeah, 206 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 6: I got flues fired. But we all got flues fired. 207 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 6: Y'all got flues fired. We come up here every day. 208 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 6: All these shows on Dallas Cowboys dot Com got flues fired. 209 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 6: The fans got Neco fired from the Mavericks. So if 210 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 6: you Jerry Jones and you love credit when you when 211 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 6: you do well everything and Jerry Jones is social media 212 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 6: report and. 213 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 2: Can I get this? 214 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 5: I bet let me get please. 215 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 7: Yes, I think I think that people in this building 216 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 7: listen to things that are said in the media. I 217 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 7: don't think it affects Jerry's decision making one bit. 218 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 5: Here's the reason why I'm being funny. 219 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 7: But why the reason why I say that is because ultimately, 220 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 7: I think Jerry likes the fact that people are talking 221 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 7: because it's good, it's good for business. 222 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: I don't think there's a problem. That's why he allows 223 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 2: us to do what we do. 224 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 7: Like no other team in the National Football League, no 225 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 7: other team in professional sports is allowed to have an 226 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 7: internal media group that speaks so bluntly about the team 227 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 7: that they work for. The reason why is because we 228 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 7: have the ability to do that, and we know that 229 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 7: that's the best way to be able to ultimately make 230 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 7: our business, our media business work right. 231 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: But I do want to say this real quick, and 232 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 2: this is as an aside. 233 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 7: I don't want it to come off to fans that 234 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 7: we are rejoicing in a man's firing. 235 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 2: No, that is not the point. I think two things 236 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 2: can be true. 237 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 7: I think a person can can be fired for cause 238 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 7: because they were not completing their job effectively. And at 239 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 7: the same time, we can be empathetic to the fact 240 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 7: that a human being is out of a job flues. 241 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 7: Think both those things can be true, and I want 242 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 7: to be clear about that. I don't want this to 243 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 7: come off in any way as a celebrating someone being fired. 244 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 6: What I'm saying is, if there's constant debate about whether 245 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 6: Dak is good or not, Jerry loves that. 246 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 5: Sure. 247 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 6: I think there was a different type of outrage about 248 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 6: this coordinator situation, like a different type of man. We 249 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 6: would be this if this was different. I think I 250 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 6: think that has something to do with I think everybody's 251 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 6: I'm saying me because I'm being goof. 252 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 5: That's just vite. 253 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 6: But if you look in the chats every day, if 254 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 6: you look on social if you hashtag flues right now, boy, 255 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 6: you see a bunch of stuff. 256 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 5: You see a bunch of you know, we on this 257 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 5: right now. 258 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 6: I think Jerry Jones saw that on top of his 259 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 6: own feelings about. 260 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 8: The actual games and going based on the games, Jerry Jones, no, no, no, 261 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 8: you need to be there watching what. 262 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 5: Happening, Garcia. 263 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 6: I've seen Mike McCarthy be a part of the worst 264 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 6: playoff game performers I've ever seen in my life, and 265 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 6: he kept his job. I've seen that, Right, and why 266 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 6: Debate Team Derek shaking his head because I was right 267 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 6: seeing that. 268 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 2: Why and why? 269 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 5: Why did he keep his job? 270 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 3: Right? 271 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 5: Because Jerry Jones was operating at a different whatever and. 272 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 7: By the way, and by the way, fans were outraged. Sure, 273 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 7: but guess what, he kept his job. 274 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: It shouldn't. That's my point. 275 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 7: I don't think Jerry makes his decision based upon the 276 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 7: fans sentiment. I do think. I do think in this instance, 277 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 7: I think Jerry and Jerry let Jerry was more blunt 278 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 7: in his comments. If you listen to what Jerry was 279 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 7: saying this season, he was more blunt in his criticism 280 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 7: of his decent defense. And I may have ever seen 281 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 7: him be with a coach that was still currently on 282 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 7: the staff, like he usually will find every reason to 283 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 7: be like, well, you know, it's it's got all his 284 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 7: fall blah blah blah blah blah. 285 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 2: And all those things. 286 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 7: But he was pretty blunt, like, man, I'm looking at 287 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 7: these Sames and everybody's having their best day against us, 288 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 7: Like that's that is real criticism publicly that Jerry Jerry 289 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 7: was giving. 290 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 2: So I don't think. 291 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 7: I think Jerry saw what everybody else saw, and I 292 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 7: think he was equally as frustrated and outraged as the 293 00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 7: fans were. 294 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 2: I don't think the thing made him be like that. 295 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 5: The Bay team Derey. 296 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 6: Do you think that if Jerry had a magic time 297 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 6: machine that he'll change his mind about that Mimia McCarthy 298 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 6: or that Maia McCarthy non firing. No, I don't I 299 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 6: think Jerry Jones changed mind. We just we just disagreed 300 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 6: with themself. I think I think Jerry had his own opinion. 301 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 6: I think Shoty had an opinion, and I think people 302 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 6: always say Jerry listens to everybody. I think the fans 303 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 6: had a lot to. 304 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 3: Do with this day. 305 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 5: Well, i'll tell you. 306 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 7: I'll tell you it's going back to the Mike McCarthy thing. 307 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 7: I think after what happened with Chan Gaily, I think 308 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 7: Jerry's been He's actually been very publicly. He's talked about 309 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 7: this very publicly. I think he would prefer to hold 310 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 7: on to a coach a little too long and pull 311 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 7: the trigger too early. And because of that, and because 312 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 7: of that, because that happened with Chan Gaily, he felt like, 313 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 7: and he still says his day, he felt like he 314 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 7: pulled the trigger too early and letting Chan Gaily go. 315 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 7: And so I think he would have said in his mind, 316 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 7: he was like, man, I got a coach that's winning 317 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 7: twelve games. Like I, as much as I hate what 318 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 7: happened in the playoffs, I just can't walk away from 319 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 7: that because maybe next year is the year that it 320 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 7: actually happened. Now, and so if you can always look 321 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 7: back in retrospect and be like, if I would have 322 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 7: known that he wasn't going to get better, then yeah, 323 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 7: but he wouldn't have made that decision in the moment, 324 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 7: because he's looking at it saying, this is a twelve 325 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 7: win coach. 326 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 6: I think that, I said, I think Jerry Jones has 327 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 6: had plenty of criticism over his years of holding on 328 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 6: the players too long and holding on the staff too long. Yeah, 329 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 6: I think that means something. So I think if all 330 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 6: this adding up, adding up, if I had to assume 331 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 6: Jerry taking all this collective inferm man, I can't be 332 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 6: I can't do this this time. I can't do this. 333 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 6: I can't hold flues too long and we run this 334 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 6: back with a quarterback that's Vac's age about to almost 335 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 6: be up out of here, and however long that got 336 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 6: a small prime, right right, all those arguments fact, I think. 337 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: I don't think that. 338 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 7: I don't think the fan criticism was the major I 339 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 7: think the issue was he was looking at his team 340 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 7: and being like, man, as you said, my quarterback is 341 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 7: playing at a premium level. Sure, my offense is playing 342 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 7: at a premium level, so much so that I was 343 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 7: almost five hundred this season with a defense that was this. 344 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 7: I gave up the six most points in the history 345 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 7: of the National Football League. 346 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 2: Sure, if if you're seeing that, you you certainly. 347 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 7: Are going to be looking like I gotta do something 348 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 7: different on defense, and I gotta do it urgently, because 349 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 7: I gotta pray that my offense can repeat what it 350 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 7: did this year, and I gotta quickly get a defense 351 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 7: around it that can support it so that I have 352 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 7: the ability to be able to get the most out 353 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 7: of that next year. 354 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 6: Patch yourself on the back. Chack y'all got even flues 355 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 6: fire and I helped. And all the collective noise, all 356 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 6: the hashtags on social media, it all helped. 357 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 7: Because whatever whatever makes you feel good, then great, go 358 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 7: with that. Whatever makes you feel good. I bet you, 359 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 7: I just don't think that was a part of it. 360 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 6: I bet you, Jerry here all that noise, because if 361 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 6: I was a billionaire, I would hear all the noise too. 362 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 5: I didn't hear. 363 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 2: I didn't say you didn't hear it. I said, I 364 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 2: don't think it influenced his decision if he heard. 365 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 8: I better you know the amount of noise he's been hearing. 366 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 7: Jason Garrett, He's like, you trade me, Like why you're 367 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 7: selling me out to you? 368 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 8: And when I feel like. 369 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 5: You're but you never tell me when I'm right. That's 370 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 5: a Damn. 371 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 6: You said please once or twice. I've been working for 372 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 6: a year now, right. 373 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: Hold, what do you want to say? 374 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 3: I think to me though, if you want to if 375 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 3: you want to say that something that Jerry Jones has heard, 376 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 3: I think he's heard from the last thirty years. I 377 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 3: think there's some things that he is trying to do something. 378 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 3: I think that I do think where the fan base 379 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 3: has has stepped up. As they're talking about the last 380 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 3: thirty years and the last lack of success. I think 381 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 3: that's something in the organization. We have the opportunity every day, 382 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 3: every other day basically to interview Steven Jones, Jerry Jones. 383 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 3: You could hear it in the questions and the tones 384 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 3: and stuff that they that they know that they're feeling, 385 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: they're feeling the pressure of the fan base, and they're 386 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 3: feeling the pressures. And every time they talk about it, Hey, 387 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 3: when they have a chance to address the fan base, 388 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 3: they talk about, Hey, we understand, we get it. I do. 389 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: I think that's where to me, I think that's where 390 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 3: the fan base is maybe influenced the front office to 391 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 3: a point, maybe not of making the moves, but I 392 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: think the fan base is disdain right now for where 393 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 3: this team is. I think that they hear that, and 394 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 3: I think they're feeling that criticism, and I think they're 395 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 3: honestly going to try and do something about it. And 396 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 3: I've said this about Jerry's age. You know, we're not 397 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 3: guaranteed tomorrow, and I do believe that Jerry Jones is 398 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 3: looking at this and like it's not so much about 399 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 3: I got to help Dak Prescott or whatever. I've got 400 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 3: to do something though, to kind of help this whole team, 401 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 3: you know, I think that's where they're at. 402 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 8: I would agree if the defense had landed in the 403 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 8: mid range of the ratings, where you. 404 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 3: You know, average, you won the same amount of games 405 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 3: last year this year with a bat with two bad 406 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 3: defenses back to back, really you want to you and 407 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 3: a backup quarterback you want? I mean, think about that 408 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 3: with with Cooper Russia quarterback, you won the same amount 409 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: of games as you won this year. I mean it's 410 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 3: been back to back defenses. 411 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 8: But with this result and why you saw, there is 412 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 8: literally no outside you don't need any outside influence to 413 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 8: influence your decision into one needs to be done. That's 414 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 8: the point. You were the worst. So there's no call 415 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 8: like we don't need all that to make a decision. 416 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 7: But real quick, we gotta go to break, and we've 417 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 7: gotta take a break. When we come back, we'll continue 418 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 7: this conversation.

So if you had to vide divide the 488 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 7: responsibility of what happened this year on defense into percentages 489 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 7: between the coaches, players and front office. And when I 490 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 7: say front office, I mean the caliber of players that 491 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 7: were given to the defense, how would. 492 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 3: You say not the higher, not the actual higher? 493 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 7: Sure, if you want to, that's fine, But I was 494 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 7: thinking more from the standpoint of is it the who's 495 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 7: fo the fault the fault of the players that are here, 496 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 7: the fault of the players that were given versus players 497 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 7: that could have been here. 498 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 3: Because they went out, went out and got they tried 499 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 3: to get better players, right, they did. 500 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 7: Try and then or forebrafos, Like if you gave it percentages, 501 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 7: how would you divide the responsibility when it comes to 502 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 7: the DP? 503 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 8: So you want us to do the the making? What 504 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 8: is it thirty making? 505 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 5: Right now? Someone that ain't that ain't quite what he's saying. 506 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 6: I understand what you're saying, but I'm just we got 507 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 6: Ambar Garcia to say, dirty mac Man, come on out, Derek. 508 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 6: So I'll just I'll just do it like this, right. 509 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 6: I think even if Michael Parsons was here, I don't 510 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 6: think it would have helped Fluce all that much. Because 511 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 6: Ambar made a fantastic point a couple of weeks ago. 512 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 6: She's made multiple fantastic points on the show. She's one 513 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 6: of the best in the business. I wish I know 514 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 6: how to say that in Spanish, but Ambar gim me 515 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 6: awards show and many of them. 516 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 5: I want one. But Ambar was like man Vouch because 517 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 5: we were talking. 518 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 6: She was like man Voch, I don't know why all 519 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 6: these good players get here and no matter how good 520 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 6: they were, at some point they all play bad. Like collectively, 521 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 6: they all look bad. And that's the voice that Ambar 522 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 6: was always. I thought it was a fun of the 523 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 6: point when she made it. So I think if Michael 524 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 6: was here, I think the pass rush would be a 525 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 6: little better. But I think Michael would be playing bad. 526 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 6: It's just, in my mind, a problem, a problem as 527 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 6: far as the blame. Who am I leaning it leaning 528 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 6: leaning it on more? If Flues came out and said 529 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,719 Speaker 6: on some podcast or show because he don't work here 530 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 6: no more. Maybe I don't know and said, man, look, 531 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 6: I just didn't have the guys to do it. 532 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 5: I didn't have We didn't have good players. 533 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 6: It'll sound fair, but this is my point on that 534 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 6: you didn't have great players. You didn't have phenomenal players 535 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 6: that could carry your scheme. But you don't have the 536 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 6: thirty ninth worst defense in the league. You see what 537 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 6: I'm saying. The Cowboys were the The dbs you have 538 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 6: are not that bad of a defensive back collective. You 539 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 6: probably got the best defensive tackle room in the whole 540 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 6: entire league. You got some young pass rushes. Clowney stepped up, 541 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 6: Doninezrock could have done you. So everybody underachieved, every single 542 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 6: soul with We felt like they were good already, mid 543 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 6: not as great. They all to achieve. And I think 544 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 6: it is on flu So I don't have a percentage 545 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 6: to give you, but I would say it was most 546 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 6: majority was him, majority was coaching. 547 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 3: Fifty percent, front office, thirty percent, flues, twenty percent players. 548 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 2: So you think that the quality of players were just 549 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: not good enough. 550 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 3: I think that I think they failed. The front office 551 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 3: filled in two areas. If in fact that they were 552 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 3: the recommendation of Matty Refluse. That was a fail. They 553 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 3: didn't get enough players. That's a problem too. Matti Refluse 554 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 3: did not adjust or adapt to the players he had. 555 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 3: That's his fault. The players didn't play at a very 556 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 3: at a very high level. They might not have been 557 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 3: good enough. The ones that they did get seemed to 558 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 3: play at a much higher level. So I will put 559 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 3: the twenty percent on them, thirty percent on Flues, and 560 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 3: fifty percent on the front office for the higher and 561 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 3: the lack of players. 562 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 6: But Ambar said that even when Kenny Clark got here, 563 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 6: he started looking bad after a while. Bright Bright Amber, 564 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 6: you did say a lot similar. 565 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 3: I put thirty percent of the fault on on on 566 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 3: the on Matti Reflues and the staff. I feel like 567 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 3: that they they he did not do what he was 568 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 3: brought in here to do. And you have players. And 569 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 3: I appreciate a guy like Fowler standing up there and saying, 570 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 3: you know what, you got to put players in better 571 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 3: positions to make place. I appreciate him putting his name 572 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 3: on there because a lot of people wouldn't have done that. 573 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of anonymous sources and stuff, 574 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 3: and that's what we deal with right now. But to me, 575 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 3: Matty Refluce failed you because he did not adapt to 576 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 3: the players he had. He had a whole training camp 577 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 3: where he didn't have Michael Parsons practice a day, you know, 578 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 3: and he got into a false sense of security. We've 579 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 3: talked about this about his pass rush, which was not 580 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 3: existing all year. It took bringing Clowney in here to 581 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 3: have any kind of a pass rush. So to me, 582 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 3: that's where the players, that's the front office. And then 583 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 3: you know, the coach was hired by the front office, 584 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 3: well or was recommended to the head coach who then 585 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 3: made the higher So it's it's a lot of us 586 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 3: is on the front office on. 587 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 6: That point, Brian, let me ask you this, how much 588 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 6: blame goes on the coach if he asked for Kenneth 589 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 6: Murray and Kyrie Elam and Weezy Bridges or whatever that like, 590 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 6: does more go on to coach or is that still 591 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 6: just players with the. 592 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 3: Front office is the one? The front office is the 593 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 3: one to be able to say that like, well, no, 594 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 3: we really don't feel like but this organization they're into 595 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 3: they're going to do again. Asking Steven Jones this question, 596 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 3: he's going to ask him about who makes the decision 597 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 3: on the code. We're going to do everything we can 598 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 3: to help Flus or it's going me to help Schottenheimer here. 599 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 3: So you know, they made the recommend day. They knew 600 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 3: they weren't very good when it came to the roster, 601 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 3: and they went and tried to make a trade. You know. 602 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 3: Unfortunately the trade, you know, it looked like it worked 603 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 3: out for him for a couple of games. But if 604 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 3: they're the front office is trying to help the coach, 605 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 3: you know, well then they also need to make the 606 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 3: evaluation of hey, coach, we don't feel like these guys 607 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 3: could help us. We need to think about this. But 608 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 3: they were the situation where they need better players coming in, 609 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 3: you know. And that's a lot of bad drafts on defense, 610 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 3: by the way, too, guys, that's a lot of guys. 611 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 3: That's a lot of Tristan Hills and Taco Charltons and 612 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 3: boss Man Fats and just go down the list. They 613 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 3: have missed on a lot of defensive players. And then 614 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 3: you know, and you can maybe even throw in there 615 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 3: Mary's leafol Marris Leafel under one administration was like hung 616 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 3: the moon. Under this administration. You can't get on the field. 617 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 5: You'll be back. 618 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 3: That's a problem. 619 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 5: You'll be back. 620 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 3: I just know it. 621 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 8: I don't blame the front office for making the initial 622 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 8: higher because at the time it seemed like a good option. 623 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 8: I think it was like, Okay, this guy has a 624 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 8: certain reputation, he has the experience, let's try it out. 625 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 8: So it wasn't like a huge deal in that sense 626 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 8: of concern. In the level of concern. However, I do 627 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 8: put blame in when they decided to interfere. 628 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 3: Like. 629 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 8: Is that the word intervene, intervene, not interfere intervene. They 630 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 8: should have intervened in the middle of the season. Again, 631 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 8: I use the bye week as. 632 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 7: My just because when you say intervened, are you saying 633 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 7: they should have said enough is enough you're out? 634 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 3: Yes? 635 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 2: Ye at what point. 636 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 8: But however, however, I will say this, they did attempt. No, 637 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 8: they did not attempt. They made those two trades in 638 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 8: hopes to help him, So they did make that change. 639 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 8: It didn't happen. And at that point you could also argue, well, 640 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 8: you only have like three or four games left of 641 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,479 Speaker 8: the season, let's just finish it. It is what it is. 642 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 8: Type of deal. But my thing is, and going back 643 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 8: to that previous conversation that we had weeks ago where 644 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 8: we were discussing this topic of like, okay, well someone 645 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 8: should complain about something. You should have that conversation at 646 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 8: some point you as the front office. And again this 647 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 8: is we don't know if those conversations happen or not, 648 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 8: but they should have and they should have intervened and 649 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 8: been like, okay, what changes can we make even if 650 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 8: he was still the defensive coordinator. Not force him, but 651 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 8: say hey, we want to see this or you let's 652 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 8: strike different things, let's. 653 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 5: More play more of this coverage play may Yeah. 654 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 8: And when you talk about player, when you talk about 655 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 8: talent versus coaching, here's where I go back and forth 656 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 8: because initially I'm like, it's all coaching coaching, but then 657 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 8: you look at some of the players, the one on ones, 658 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 8: You're like, well look at that, Like okay, there there's 659 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 8: a lack of talent with certain players too, But what 660 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 8: changes are you making? Because if we saw more of 661 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 8: those changes and trying different things out, we as the 662 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 8: viewer can be like, well, dang, he's trying, but these 663 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 8: players are not talented enough. So you could make that argument, 664 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 8: but it wasn't there. 665 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 2: Well, I would say this, I believe they thought the defense. 666 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 8: I'm like stranger things. I believe. 667 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 2: I think I think they believe. 668 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 7: I think they believe they had turned the corner with 669 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 7: this defense. I think they got to that they got 670 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 7: Fool's goal. But I think that they got to that 671 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 7: Raiders game, that Eagles game, and that Kansas City game. 672 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 2: And I think they. 673 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 3: Felt likeruggling on offense. 674 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 675 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 7: But you know how the mind of an optimist works, right, 676 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 7: The amount of an optimist is the amount of an optimist, like, hey, 677 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 7: our changes are mattering like these the two teams, and 678 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 7: two of these teams were in the Super Bowl last year. 679 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 7: If we're doing great against them, if we're doing okay 680 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 7: against them, again, we were just trying to get it 681 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,479 Speaker 7: to an average defense, right, So if we're doing okay 682 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 7: against them, man, we must be turning the corner. And 683 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 7: then I think they got smacked in the face when 684 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 7: the Chargers game happened, and then doubled down when the 685 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 7: Minnesota game happens. I really believe they thought their changes 686 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 7: were taking effect with the you know, the defense starting 687 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 7: to figure out what Flus was asking them to do. 688 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 2: I think they felt like they had turned the corner, 689 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 2: and I think it just was fool's goal. 690 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 7: Like and by the way, I think a lot of 691 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 7: us start, okay, this team's better after those three games. 692 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 7: I think we all, to a man and a woman 693 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 7: in this room said we think this team's better because 694 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 7: I remember you've watched Sam. 695 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 2: This team can play with anybody. They can get beat 696 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 2: by any so and I don't think we thought that 697 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: about end of the season. 698 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 7: We didn't think they could play with anybody anymore, right, 699 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 7: But I think we all thought they kind of turned 700 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 7: the corner where they were like, this is a team 701 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 7: that's that's ascending, this team is getting better as the 702 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 7: season goes on. And then again you got smacked in 703 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 7: the face when the Chargers game and came, and then 704 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 7: you doublely got smacked in the face in the Minnesota game, 705 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 7: and you were faced with reality at that point that know, 706 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 7: this defense is what this defense is, It is not 707 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,959 Speaker 7: getting better. And so to your point, Amber, so at 708 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 7: that point, do you make a move. You only got 709 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 7: a few weeks left. I think the move was send him. 710 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: Up to the boot. 711 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 7: Let's see if that changes anything. But at this point 712 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 7: you're you're not going to the playoffs. I mean, it 713 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 7: doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to make 714 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 7: some big, grand move other than just a ceremonial move. 715 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 5: At that point, Amber made a phenomenal point, and. 716 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 6: I going to get a few minutes ago on that 717 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 6: point that Ambar made it bout intervening. Everybody can answer this. 718 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 6: I wonder how upset Jerry Jones was about, Hey, we 719 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 6: went to go get Logan Wilson, and Logan Wilson just 720 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,719 Speaker 6: didn't play enough, because I remember on the radio they 721 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 6: was like, Jerry, why didn't Logan Wilson play more than 722 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 6: he was? 723 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 5: Like thought he was, We're gonna have to work it out. 724 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 6: We're gonna have to find somebody, gonna have to get 725 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 6: him on the wonder how mad Jerry was and whose 726 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 6: call was there. 727 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 7: But to me was that the example of the defensive 728 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 7: coordinator basically was trying to do his own thing, even 729 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 7: though he may have been being told to do something different. 730 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 7: He was basically like, I don't care if I'm gonna 731 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 7: get fired. I'm gonna get fired my own way. 732 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 2: Which I have a little bit of respect for that too. Coach, 733 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: you know, if you're a coach. 734 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 7: If you're a coach and you're like everybody's like, they're 735 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,239 Speaker 7: telling you gotta do this, you gotta do and you're like, 736 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,479 Speaker 7: I don't believe in that. Then by the way, you're 737 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 7: gonna have to deal with the consequences. But if you're 738 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 7: gonna go out, you might as well. 739 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 5: Okay, get them. 740 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 8: Every week after the game they come here to back 741 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 8: to the building, they turn on the TV, the monitors 742 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 8: and screen and play the tape. What are you saying? 743 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 8: What do you mean you see it on the tape 744 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 8: in front of you. 745 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 5: Right and here? 746 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 7: That would be my only question is when you look 747 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 7: at that, I think we all understood what Kenneth Murray 748 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 7: was right, But for some reason, the defensive coordinator felt 749 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 7: like he was the guy, like he was crazy. And 750 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 7: so that's where I'm like, I think the defensive coordinator 751 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 7: just felt like, that's my guy. I think he can 752 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 7: do this. I don't put all the blame on him. 753 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 7: I think there are other things that are factoring into this. 754 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 7: So I don't care what anybody says. I'm gonna stick 755 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 7: with my guy. I think that was a stubborn move 756 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 7: by the. 757 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 8: But how do you lead a room work because all 758 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 8: the all the players are sitting there watching the screen. Yes, 759 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 8: and you're sitting how do you get up after watching 760 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 8: this and be like, hey, guys, let's run it back. 761 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 6: You're right. 762 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 2: I think that's also his undoing. 763 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 7: I think that there were a lot of players in 764 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,959 Speaker 7: that room that were, by the way I've heard some 765 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 7: of those stories, there were players in that room that 766 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 7: felt like he wasn't doing the things that should have 767 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 7: been done from the standpoint of who should be playing 768 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 7: and how they should be playing. So yes, that was 769 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 7: you're right, but that was his own way of being like, 770 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 7: I believe in this and I'm gonna stick with this, 771 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,239 Speaker 7: And I think that's how this is. 772 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 3: Honestly, this is general manager's fault. 773 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 5: This is Inswervene, is what she's saying. 774 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 3: Now, I'm saying this. The general manager has got to 775 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 3: go to the head coach and say, listen, we're gonna 776 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 3: play Logan Wilson this week. Intervene. You know, we're going 777 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 3: to play Logan Wilson this week, and there should not 778 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 3: be any. 779 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 2: How do you know that didn't happen though, because if 780 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 2: he was, if he said. 781 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 3: Jerry Jones did, and Jerry Jones has always been very 782 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,760 Speaker 3: honest when it comes on the radio and he says, listen, 783 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 3: I told Brian Schottenheimer and mattib Reflus this is how 784 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 3: it should have gone down. If you don't play this guy, 785 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 3: I'm gonna fire you that. That's where this should have 786 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 3: gone down. As a general manager. Okay, okay, give me 787 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 3: a minute here. This this this whole situation. Though it does, 788 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 3: it starts at the top. The general manager as a 789 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 3: progative to be able to say, listen, we need to 790 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 3: play this guy. I need to see what this player is. 791 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 3: He can convey that to Brian Schottenheimer. Then who can 792 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 3: convey that to Matti Refluse. Right, That's where this needs 793 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 3: to start. This needs to start. The general manager should 794 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 3: not have a question about why a guy didn't. 795 00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: Play, So what happened? 796 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 7: What happens If the general manager says we're gonna play 797 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 7: this guy yep, oh yes, yes, sir, we're gonna play 798 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 7: this guy, and then the game comes and he has 799 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 7: zero snaps. 800 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 3: Then that's where that's where the general manager needs to 801 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 3: come out and tell us to listen, I told him 802 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 3: that we needed to play this guy. 803 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 7: I need not though he said it was he said 804 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 7: he must be playing, and he did not, so I don't. 805 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 3: Then then you need to have the situation. To Ambar's point, 806 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 3: then he needed to be let go. Then that's that's 807 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 3: where if you're directly not obeying an order that like 808 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 3: we need to see this guy play, then then Brian 809 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 3: Schottenheimer said, hey, Matty, we're done with Matt Eberfleus. 810 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 7: What my expectation is, this is this is what I 811 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 7: think happened is my own opinion. What I think happened 812 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 7: is I think there was an understanding that he should play. 813 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 7: I think we got to a game where he had 814 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 7: zero snaps. I think that conversation didn't happened at that point. Guys, 815 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 7: I thought he was gonna play. Yeah, I do not 816 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 7: want to see that this weekend. And what happened the 817 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 7: next weekend he played and it didn't really it was 818 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:57,439 Speaker 7: too little. 819 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 3: He played a lot more after. If Frank Burry got 820 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,760 Speaker 3: the person foul pedal in the game the other day. 821 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 7: Fair, But my point is my point is I think 822 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 7: that's how it played out, and I think ultimately at 823 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 7: the end of the day he was fired. So I 824 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 7: do think that there was some holding of account. But 825 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 7: I don't think. I think everybody he The way Jerry 826 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 7: said it on the radio made me think there was 827 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 7: a clear communication that they'd had as a group that 828 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,800 Speaker 7: he was going to play, and then all of a 829 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 7: sudden he didn't play, and Jerry was just as confused 830 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 7: and frustrated as everybody else, like this was supposed to 831 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 7: be the plan and then it didn't happen. 832 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 2: Then by the next week it happened. 833 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 7: So my guess is he was a little more stern 834 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 7: in how he said, I need to see this gun 835 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 7: on the field and make it happen, and it happened, right. 836 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 7: I don't think that it was a situation where he 837 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 7: was just kind of like, you know, he didn't have 838 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 7: that kind of influence and certainly didn't exercise that kind 839 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 7: of influence. 840 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 6: The worst coordinator, the worst the coordinator of the worst 841 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 6: defense in the league can't not do what I tell 842 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 6: him to do, you know what I'm saying, Like, you 843 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 6: just can't roguely be like, well, this is my way. 844 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 7: To let you know. 845 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 3: Obviously, obviously, unless you know he's gonna get he was. 846 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 3: Obviously he wasn't scared about it because he did it, 847 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 3: And I mean to me, that means the point wasn't conveyed. 848 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 3: When you when you when you don't, when you have 849 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 3: a direct order to do something and you don't do it, 850 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 3: then to me, the order wasn't conveyed. 851 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. In that first game, that game. 852 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 3: Whether it's Jerry or Shottenheimer, somebody needed to tell him 853 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 3: we're playing this guy. 854 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 7: But in the game where he had zero snaps, I 855 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 7: think before that game, I don't know that it was 856 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 7: a directive at that point. As much as it was, 857 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 7: there was just an understanding across everybody, we're doing that 858 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 7: he's gonna play this week. By that next week, I 859 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 7: think it was a directive. That's why I think he 860 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 7: played more is because I think it was like, how did. 861 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 2: He get zero snaps? That's a problem. 862 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 7: And then I think it was a directive he needs 863 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 7: to be on the field, period, and by the next 864 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 7: week he was. 865 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 3: The directive should have been that should have been the 866 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 3: week that he had zero snaps. To me, that's where 867 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 3: it it should have been far more. It should have 868 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,919 Speaker 3: been a far more. Hey, everybody saw what was going 869 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 3: on with Murray, everybody. That's it. The general manager counsaid 870 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 3: up there and he watched it's a game. He's a 871 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 3: lot of games in thirty years. He's seen good games, 872 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 3: he's seen bad games. He knows what's going on. He 873 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 3: should have walked in there and said, listen, I've had 874 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 3: enough of Murray. I've had enough, don't play him anymore. 875 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 2: That part I agree with. That's a that's a I'm. 876 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 3: Not just I'm not playing. I mean, I'm saying general 877 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 3: managers have the progative to walk in and say, listen, 878 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 3: I don't want to see this guy playing anymore. I'm 879 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 3: sorry I brought him to you. I'm sorry he's here. 880 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 3: And I'm sure that he had I'm sure that Matt 881 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 3: Eberflus had some influence in getting Murray here, just like 882 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 3: Jack Sanborn and everybody else on the defensive side of 883 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 3: the ball. So to me, I get it. I mean, 884 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 3: you're keep playing the loyal guy that probably came up 885 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 3: to Flus and said, hey, I'm hearing all the noise, 886 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 3: sorry about that, You're a good DC, and then all 887 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 3: of a sudden's like, I'm gonna keep playing you, bro, 888 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,439 Speaker 3: don't worry about it. But see to me, the fact 889 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 3: that Flues directly just kept playing Murray tells me that 890 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 3: maybe that message wasn't conveyed clearly enough. That's my point. 891 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 2: Yep. 892 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 7: All right, hey, real quick, before we end the show, 893 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 7: I do need to make a little announce I think 894 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 7: you've already said it.
