  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to The Daily Play with Joey Taylor.

  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me. Make sure you hit

• 0:11
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys are on a mission to get back to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, which they haven't done thirty years, and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to stay relevant, and not necessarily in that order.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Today's news could do both for Dallas.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: The signing of defensive tackle Quinn Williams to a three
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: year extension worth one hundred and five point nine million dollars.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys acquired the four time Pro Bowl selection at
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline last year.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: They did that to bolst of the defense that was.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Assuredly the weaker side of the ball and under the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: first year of head coach Brian Schottenheimer. In his first
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: full year in Dallas, Williams will attempt to build on
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the one point five sacks and nine quarterback he had
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: seven games for the Cowboys last season. He has forty
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: one point five sacks and seven NFL seasons, who his
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: first team pro in twenty twenty two, when he posted a.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Career best twelve sacks for the Jets.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Of course, Michael Parsons exit is still a point of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: conversation around the Cowboys was that the right move. Are
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: they going to be able to build a defense without him?
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: What is their defensive identity going to be? The Cowboys
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: identity overall, I believe at this point in their current
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: journey is still a bit unknown as well. This is
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a player that you had to pay though, and good rip.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: You know he deserves that. He's a great player. I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: think more so than signing Quinn Williams to this deal,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it is the question of what again will this Cowboys
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: team identity be.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: They've gone through a lot.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Of different changes. They always have a little bit of drama.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: They've always got a little bit of off season drama. They've
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: always got Jerry assuring that they're on the right path
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and the division is not getting any weaker, and they
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: have yet to break through in a real way in
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the postseason. We know they're going to be competitive during
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the regular season. They're going to make a lot of noise,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: They're going to have a lot of headlines. But are
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: they going to use the talent that they have in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the building to get over the finish line, which they
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: haven't done for quite some time. And I don't believe
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: this will be the year they do it either. Sticking
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of football, Bill Barnwell posted an interesting story on ESPN
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Monday that pose the question do NFL super teams usually
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Will the Rams Sean mcvayh squad is?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: His squad is the super Bowl favorite for good reason,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: after adding reigning Defensive Player of the Year Miles Garrett
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to a team that was in the NFC Championship last year.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So after year when two teams who were not preseason
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: favorites faced off in the Super Bowl, Barnwell looked at
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the fifteen biggest preseason favorite since nineteen ninety to see
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: how those.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Super teams fared.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Because you remember, no one was picking the Seattle Seahawks
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and the New England Patriots to be in the Super
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Bowl last year. If you were, good for you, but
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you know, for the most part, and they were not favorites,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and no one was doing that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So he says, quote, can the Rams do it?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Of those fifteen most significant favorites, two lived up to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the expectations. Exactly two lived up to the expectations until
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: home to the Lombardi Trophy. That might seem like a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: major disappointment, but it's not far off. From what we
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: would have expected given their preseason projections. If we use
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the implied win probabilities, the numbers suggest these teams would
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: have won two point three five Super Bowls. Winning two
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in reality is pretty close to what the market suggests,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: so two and fifteen is better odds. Then the Rams
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: will face this season which is one and thirty two.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: We're still waiting on the Aaron Donald announcement, whether he's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: going to come back and play or not. There's obviously
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of smoke around that fire. If that happens,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that'll be another wave of momentum for this Rams team
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that is already absolutely stacked Stafford. They're going up against
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the Niners in Australia to start the season, then Monday Night,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Sunday Night and early Sunday game in Philly, then a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Monday Night are against the Bills. They have, you know, a
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: really incredible roster of players, and obviously adding Miles Garrett
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: puts them in the conversation for contenders right away, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that's building up.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: The fact that they were in the FC Championship Game
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: last year.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: The Rams will play on every day except Tuesday this season,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: with a Netflix Wednesday before Thanksgiving game, a Prime Thursday
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Night against the Chiefs in early December, and a Christmas
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Friday game as well, So they're all over the place
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that we're going to get to see plenty of the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Rams this season, but they have the second hardest schedule
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: according to NFL dot Com, with the NFC West holding
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the top three spots, the Cardinals and the Seahawks obviously
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in the Niners, so it's it's going to be a
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: tough journey for the Rams. But one thing that I've
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: always found interesting about the Rams, and I got a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: little push back on this when I SA said that
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I have been on the Rams corner for some time.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I have pretty good memory when it comes to these things.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: And after the Super Bowl when the Rams completely cashed
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: out and won, okay, they then had a couple of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: down years. You know, there was the conversation about McVeigh
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: was he going to retire, and everyone was like, oh, we're.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Out on the Rams. The the Rams are not the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: real deal anymore. It's the Niners. You know.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: It's We've got all these other shiny, shiny toys in
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the NFC.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: There's better coaches, all these things.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And I was saying, let's just wait, okay, Sean McVay
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: is the best coach in that division.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: He has won a Super Bowl.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: He has taken over a team that was middling and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: turned them into not only just the super contenter, super
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Bowl winner.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: So let's just see what they do.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And they have built themselves back up again into a powerhouse.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: The expectations do make me a little weary about whether
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: they will actually be able to get that done because,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: as we know right now, we're just basing this off
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: rosters and availability, health circumstances. Things changed throughout the season.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: When we get to the end of the season, things
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: will look very different. There's about thirty to forty percent
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: turnover in playoff teams every single year. So there are
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: going to be teams that we absolutely expect to be
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs this year who are going to miss
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'm not saying it's going to happen to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the Rams. I do think that the Rams are a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: true Super Bowl contender. I have a lot of faith
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in them. I have faith in their coaching. In the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: minutes of an organization, I do think that this is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: one of those quote unquote super teams that could get
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: it done. And finally, let's update you on the latest
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: in the football soccer world. Three key federations have combined
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: their efforts to question the leadership of FIFA President Gianni
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Infantino after his attempt to sell off FIFA to a
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: part of FIFA to private equity, including the brother of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the president's son in law, Josh Kushner. An adjointment statement, YUEFA, CONCA,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: CAF and the Asian Football con Federation said leadership in
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: football is not a possession.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: It's not about.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Holding or demanding power to be held. It is a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: duty of service to the football family that entrusts it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: When trust is broken through deception, when individual places himself
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: above the collective that entrusted him with authority, that duty
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: has been abandoned. So FIFA wrote a letter to its
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: vice presidents and two hundred and eleven members associates. They
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: acknowledged that the mistakes were made in the process. It's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a very long statement, but basically reportedly the three confederations
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: would speak for more than one hundred and fifty member
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: nations have also held initial talks about organizing competitions themselves.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I made the backlash against Infentino. So while it's understood
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that they want to give Infentino the chance to resign
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: without seeking reelection in March next year. The three bodies
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: want to insulate themselves from the unfolding crisis. UEFA runs
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: football in Europe, concacafitas the same in North America, Central
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: America and the Caribbean, and the AFC governs the sport
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in Asia. UEFA has fifty five member nations and holds
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: six of the top ten places on the FIFA World rankings.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: So pretty powerful. People saying, hey, you bleeped up.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Infentino thought, okay, now he is apologized for his proposal
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to create FIFA Forward Enterprise, a company to run the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: commercial and operational aspects of FIFA's tournaments, with an idea
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to sell off around twenty percent to private investors. This
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: is the thing about this whole situation, which I find
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: just so comical, and greed has always been one of
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: those since that's really confused me, because if the greed
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't it only benefits you, You're you're very rarely going
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to get away with it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: And this is really what happened here.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: He thought that because he was in charge, that he
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: was going to be able to fleece all of these
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: other nations, nations that are that are not struggling.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: By the way, they don't need your little crumbs that
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you're willing to give them from this selloff.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: The audacity, in the arrogance that is involved with this
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: particular situation is so laughable. To me, build soccer more
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: more seriously than their religion. Okay, they are not playing
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: about this. And the way that things went with the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: World Cup in the United States, with the hydration breaks
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and the situation with the US team and the red card,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: like all of these things were very controversial, It was
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: very unpopular. This sport of soccer is sacred to everyone else,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: maybe not to hear in the U States, but you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: have to understand the levity of this situation and how
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: he really thought he was going to just get and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: basically get involved with the Kushner family and just fleece
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: everybody like they weren't going to know how any of
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: this works. It's really embarrassing and he's going to be
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: up out of there.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And some real changes they are.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Going to be made, and I think it's about time
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: because they really need to start running a more up
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and up operation all around. Well, thanks for joining me.
