• 1:04
  Speaker 5: But we've seen that before with the Cowboys and Eagles.
• 1:07

• 1:10
  Speaker 5: with a lot more talent on the field at the moment,
• 1:12

• 2:49
  Speaker 6: you they've got some awesome players.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, LB, I thought you said MB okay.
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: Oh sorry, LB LB.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Liberty Bowl.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Okay, because that was like I thought you were saying,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Marion Barber running back from all right, Liberty Bowl. Okay,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: so you're referring to the Arkansas win over Texas Tech
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: and the Liberty Bowl.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir, awesome, Yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: That was.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: That was a good one. I was.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: I was happy about that. So just you don't want
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: to go ahead, go ahead.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: My question is this. I know we believe it's nice
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: to hire a Super Bowl coach and all that. I'm
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: not here to say fire anybody, hire anybody, but all
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: I know as a fan, it's been a long time
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: and I think it's kind of nice to see. I mean,
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: yesterday it was so depressing. But I look at the Minnesota.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: They brought O'Connor from Rams and Flores from m Bill
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: battle Check era, my.
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: Young man Pitt.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: They put the team together, young team, and they're looking
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: pretty good. I'm looking at all the past twenty Super
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Bowl winners, all the team that are playoffs today, every
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: single one of them.
• 4:16
  Speaker 9: Most of them they.
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: Won one or two Super Bowl.
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: So I'm looking at our front office.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: I think we used to teach being aggressive in draft trade.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: I look at the Eagle as much.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: As don't like to admit it, but the front office
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: v I trade. They got Jalen Carter top ten for
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Carson Wentz and aj Brown on the trade that general
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: manager of Python got fired for it, and then you
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: got free agent. You're gonna share second, Barkley, what do you.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Think they should do? Allie, what do you think they
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: should do? Then let's keep this right on.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: I think they should open up. I think we should
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: open up to a little bit bit of mindset that
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: we don't have to go with the pub and Super
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Bowl winner. You can't get these young coaches.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Give us some.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: Opportunity to build a team for two three years. I mean,
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: right now we are all over the map.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, all right, well appreciate it. Have a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: good one.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: You know, you can you can look at there's a
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: lot of young coaches out there. I mean, think think
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: of I mean it's not just the guys that are
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: in the playoffs. I mean there's there's teams out there
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: with young coaches that that are going to be drafted
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: in the top ten. I mean, like that's that's kind
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: of the way it is.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: I think what Jerry tried to do was get a
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: coach that's been here before, that's done it before, that
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: knows how to build this and to build a team
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: that could win and compete for Super Bowls. It's exactly
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: what happened. And that's what they did. So I mean,
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: did they did they win it?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Of course not. They didn't.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: They got to the playoffs three years in a row.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: They didn't this year. They they weren't good enough. They
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: weren't good enough, they were not deep enough. Everybody has injuries.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: We know this, probably not to the extent the Cowboys had,
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: but everybody has injuries.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: They got to deal with it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: You got to figure out how to overcome it. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: this year it just there was way too much, you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: just way too many injuries and just not enough depth,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: not enough depth from the start. And that's something you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: you can you can blame them for how they built
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: the team early saying you know, we can't we can't
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: afford anything, you know, any injuries, and they certainly had them.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: So all right, let's go to Brian in Kansas City.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: Brian, good morning, sir.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: How are you Cowboys played the Eagles yesterday?
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: No, kidding? All right, now, Well, you know it's this
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: season that's kind of a microcosm of the season, right
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you look at we beat two teams that are going
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to be in the playoffs. You know, we beat the Commanders,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: we beat the Bucks, and then we got just absolutely
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: clobbered yesterday. You know, that's kind of a microcosm of
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: our season. You know, it's just and and injuries. Injuries
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: is the headline of this season. There's no way to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: avoid that. You know, it's not making excuses, that's the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: headline of the whole season. That's everything. So I thought,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you know, as you know, we're kind of getting winded
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: down to the end here, maybe discuss what you think
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: who not not what you think the Cowboys are going
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: to do, but in your mind, who are the top
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: couple of free agents on our team that you want?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: For me, I'd say it's Jay Lou and Osa and
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I know he's going to be expensive.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: But.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: And then for the other one, who do you think
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: who who would be the cap casualties? So and for
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: me that's Steel and and uh Wilson. Just looking at
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the numbers, those are the ones that seem to make
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: sense to me. And I'll hang up and listen to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: my friends.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and happy New Year, sir, all right, you too,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: thank you.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know about getting getting rid of Steel.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: I think Steel's played okay here lately. I don't know
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: about about that one. There's some things that could happen
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: with Steele's contract though they may there may actually be
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: a reduction.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: He would be a candidate for that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: Maybe he's he is somebody and you can go like
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: different ways with him. You can do like four different
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: things with him. You can just you can cut him.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: You cut him June one. You could, you could do nothing.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: You could try to lower his base salary. So there
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: there's some things that could that could happen with him
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: with Steel, and you know, you just don't have a
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: lot of I mean, what do you have in Geiten?
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: What do you have?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You don't know? What do you have in awesome Richards?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You don't know?
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: So you pretty much know what you have in Steel.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Got a fighter, You got a guy that that you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: a pretty good run blocker.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I think I think he's he's.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Played better here lately, But still I don't know about
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: making that change. It's for donovand Wilson. He's a playmaker. Uh,
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: but you know, for that price you got to give
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: up something. Malik Hooker is another one, like you know
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: that that could be a situation where you kind of
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: you know, you may move on. But I think Jay
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: lou and and Oh Sar the two that that you
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: said that that you would like to bring it. There's
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: a lot of them, you know, there's twenty twenty five
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: guys or so I'm interested to see what they do
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: with Turpin. He's a restricted free agent. That's one where
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: you know, do you want to pay him the second
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: round tender? It's about five million a year for just
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: a one year tender, and no one's gonna give a
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: second round pick, So so you would you would keep
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: him for sure, But you know if you if you don't,
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: if you just do it like a regular restricted tender,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: which means he's not drafted, so you're not gonna get
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: any compensation. Uh, it would be three million a year,
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: somebody would probably sign him and you'd lose him. So
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: I would probably keep him, especially the way they're using
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: him some on offense. They're still running the ball pretty
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: well right up the middle. I wouldn't I wouldn't expecting that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: So those two guys, there's free agents and then also
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: I'm you know, and Cooper Rush, I mean, Cooper Rush
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: is another one I think they should probably try to
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: bring back as well. All right, coach Tyrone and DC
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: is our next caller.
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: Hey, what's going on? Nick? How you doing?
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: How are you doing? Coach?
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: Oh Man? DC is is red and red and gold
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: out here like it's it's their their party, their partying
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: pretty good. Well, it's been a while, it's been a while,
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: but it's okay. Yeah, okay, I got a question for you, Nick, Okay,
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: is it me or does it seem to be that
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: Mike McCarthy out coaches himself And I'm speaking about a
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: specific drive, which was the first drive of the game.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, second three? Is that what you're gonna say?
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: Second in three?
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: Yep, second and three, man, yep, second and three.
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: I'm sitting here, it's second and three. Run the football.
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: He's picking up, Rico is picking up what he needs
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: to pick up. Yeah, run your football in on thirty three.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: So okay, so let's let's it's compounded, Nick. So on
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: that second and three, Cooper throws.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: The ball deep to Cooks.
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: Yep, Brandon Cooks, but Jaylen Tobert runs the hook Ralph
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: and his wide open.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: I and to me that looked like a play that
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: rush was just throwing like immediately, like that was that
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: was going to be the play like it didn't.
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: Even yeah it was, it was all it was already preconceived.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: And I'm okay. I think I'm okay with that. Cooks
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: needs to go vertical. You're trying to send a message.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: Uh there there have been called there have been officiating
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: crews that would call p I on that. I mean,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: if you look at the way he was kind of
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: tugging on him, you had a shot. They didn't call it,
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: and they didn't really call it a lot during the
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: game like that.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: So that's fine.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: But but you don't get it on second three, then
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: then on thirty because yeah, because because you're you're you
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: might be in four down territory. And then of course,
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: you know you could always kick the field goal there
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: that was against the win, So I'm not sure. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: but still, I mean I'm with you on that. I mean,
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: third and three, just to throw it and to kind
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: of force it like that, Yeah, I'm with you.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not calling.
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: That playoff second And that's what I mean by your
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: out coaching yourself. Yeah, like it doesn't make sense. The
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: high percentage play if you are about the analytics, the
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: high percentage played is to just run the football and
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: then if you don't get it, you have a kicker
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: who can kick it from sixty five.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah with you.
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: I mean, and now that changes, that changes the whole outlook.
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: That game, in my opinion, was lost on those two
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: downs because now you are playing from behind, which is
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: not something that we need to be doing. Yeah, you
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: don't need to play from behind.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: They came back and ran the football. I mean, they
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: came back and tied the game on the next drive
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: and then stopped them. You know, so you would have
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: thought an interception to start the game is I mean
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: that that's the last thing that they need. But they
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: did kind of overcome that. And I'm telling you what's
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: that game? In the first quarter, I wasn't sure who
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: was the better team. I really wasn't. I was like,
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: I definitely didn't know who the better quarterback was.
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: I agree, So I definitely I definitely agree. Well, Cooper
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: Rust in my opinion, I'm up here, I'm saying to myself, well,
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: Cooper Rest is better than Kenny Picktt. So we should
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: be playing like we should be okay to to to
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: win this game. But but but but but this is
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: the thing too though, Nick. It's also it's not that
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: they I understand what you're saying, that they came back,
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: they stopped them and they scored and they stopped them.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: But it's it's it's mental. Yeah, it's a mental thing
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: that Okay, you just threw a pick six. Now the
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: defense gotta come back, or that we come back on
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: the field, and it's a mental thing. If you go
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: down there and you score on the first drive, now
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: they have to play from behind. And it's mental and
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: that's what it just it drove me crazy to see
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: two straight pass and he gets passed. Happy, Well, you
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: have an opportunity to just run the football.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I hear you, all right, I get it. Thanks for
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the call.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: And and that that was huge, you know, that was
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: a huge way start to the game. Again, they did
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: overcome that the game was lost to me one play,
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: one play in the second quarter. It ended everything and
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: that you can maybe argue two plays in a span
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: of about three and a half minutes.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: But the game's tied seven to seven.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: The Eagles have not done anything haven't gotten a first down,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: and this is their third possession and it's second and
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: five at their own twenty four and Leah Foul comes
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: in and knocks the ball away or it was a
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: weird looking play, but he basically knocked the ball out
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: of Pickett's hand.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Barkley had it.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: He got tackled for another yard loss and it was
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: like an eleven yard loss. It's about to be third
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: and sixteen from the thirteen yard line. Third and sixteen.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: That that smells like draw play to Barkley or dump
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: off or whatever and then punt. So but Andrew Booth,
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: who who had a game for the Eagles, but he
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: he that was one of his first plays there in
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: legal contact. He just had a rough day. I mean,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: like that's that's just putting it nicely. And they picked
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: on him. They picked on him all day long. And
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: the Cowboys left him out there. They didn't have a
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: lot of options, and the Eagles, i mean, really was
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: third down. Everyone in the press box is saying it
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: third and eight here on the Eagles. Third and eight,
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: and they're like, where's Booth. They're gonna find him. Davante Smith,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: you know, he looks like he's a guy that's gonna
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: win the Heisman, in which he did. But I mean, seriously,
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: it was it was it was a rough day for
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: him and he's had a rough season. They you know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: they traded for him. He's a second round pick. But
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: you know, they just they had to keep playing.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: They have to.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: They don't have a lot of options at corner, and
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: that wasn't the best one, but that that was the
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: game to me. They gave them the automatic first down.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: They still had a third and eight where I think
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: there was another thirty four yard catch. Well, guy makes
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: a one handed catch and then they score, and then
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: it's fourteen to seven, and then that kind of changed everything.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Ferguson fumbles on the next play. But but if you
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: you know, if you can get that stop there and
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: don't get an illegal contact penalty, you know, that's that was.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: That was That's frustrating guy. Basically what I just said,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: you know that that deep pass to Cooks, I mean,
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: they were, they were, they were hitting the whole game
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: like that, so that particular play was against what they
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: normally were calling.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: That whole game.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: All right, let's go to Travis and san Antonio. Travis,
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: what's up, Hey, what's going on?
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: Nick?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Hey, har are you pretty good?
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: Not so great yesterday?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: But it is what it is, yeap, and it's not good.
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 17:50
  Speaker 11: I just wanted to hit two things real quick and
• 17:52
  Speaker 11: then I'll hop off and seots thing. But the first
• 17:54
  Speaker 11: thing is I wanted to mention because it kind of
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: bugged me yesterday, even though it seems it was sign
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: count point list was I know if you already hit
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: on this, but the bringing in Trey Lance with two
• 18:03
  Speaker 11: minutes to go, like I sort of was sitting here,
• 18:06
  Speaker 11: like say, watching.
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: The game, like what are we doing?
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: Like, and I know Mike Marthy said, like what I
• 18:10
  Speaker 11: wanted to bring him in theossession before that, but at
• 18:12
  Speaker 11: like ten minutes ago, when it was forty one to seven,
• 18:15
  Speaker 11: I was like, hey, this is Trey Lance times and
• 18:17
  Speaker 11: they didn't bring him in. I was like, then we
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: brought up with two minutes ago, I'm like, what What's
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: I mean? That just didn't make any sense to me.
• 18:24
  Speaker 11: So I'm just curious what you thought of it. It just
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: seemed weird, like you probably could have just brought Cooper
• 18:27
  Speaker 11: out to throw one more pass and a run and
• 18:29
  Speaker 11: just finish out that game.
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: But neither here nor there.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: So that's that.
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: And then the other thing we were talking about in
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: one of the spaces the other day, Nick and I
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: know you guys kind of hited something like this before,
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: but we were talking about the possibility that let's just
• 18:43
  Speaker 11: say Mike comes back and you know, the combination of
• 18:48
  Speaker 11: them being tied to the hip like him and Zimmer,
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: and I thought, you know, I don't I don't necessarily
• 18:52
  Speaker 11: believe that because I think Jerry has more invested in
• 18:55
  Speaker 11: Mike McCarthy than he does Zimmer at this point. And
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: the idea was, like I thought, because you know, I
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: went outside the box guy. But I thought about it
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: for a second and I thought, you know, after his comments,
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: Zimmer's comments about you know, this year has been hard,
• 19:09
  Speaker 11: I take that with him to kind of kind of
• 19:12
  Speaker 11: to heart, because I don't think he's a cryptic messenger
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: type of guy, Like he's not passive aggress so if
• 19:18
  Speaker 11: he just tells you how it is, And I just wonder,
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: you know, he came into this year thinking, like, you know,
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: I'll go be a DC and this is a twelve
• 19:24
  Speaker 11: and five team, and hey, we'll take a shot out
• 19:26
  Speaker 11: and see what happens. But then I think Nick you
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: get into the season and these coaches put in all
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: long hours and he is sixty eight, I think, but
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: like maybe he's sitting there thinking like, man, I forgot
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: about you know, all this type of stuff that I
• 19:38
  Speaker 11: gotta do and it is hard, and you know, maybe
• 19:41
  Speaker 11: going back to being a grandpa would be a little
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: better than doing this. And I started thinking, like, they
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: they kept al Harris around for a reason, right, They
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: gave him that elvaated associate, he coach position to keep
• 19:51
  Speaker 11: him when they probably like he was probably gonna leave.
• 19:55
  Speaker 11: So I wondered, did they bring him in Zimber, I mean,
• 19:58
  Speaker 11: did they bring him in to sort of trans from
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: this defense over from what dan Quinn had implement the defense?
• 20:03
  Speaker 11: And my thought was, they don't just keep a guy
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: around that for no reason. Why to see potential? So
• 20:09
  Speaker 11: should there be a situation Nick where they sort of
• 20:11
  Speaker 11: if he decides to step step away and go back
• 20:14
  Speaker 11: to be retired, to he hand us off to Al Harris? Right,
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: that's what I see what you thought?
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a that's a that's a tough one. There's
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: a lot of things going on there. Try to word
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: this the right way because there's a there's a dynamic
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: there and that defensive side of the ball that it's
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: been tough. Okay, it's been it's been a tough year
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: and it's not just the injuries. So I don't I
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: really can't say a lot what I want to say there.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: There's gonna be some changes on defense. I don't know
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: exactly what that means as far as does it does
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: it mean zimmer is al Harris?
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: I really don't know, but but I know that there
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: will be some changes. Now, let's don't get too far
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: into the weeds of when the guy says it's been hard,
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: I mean, like, does that mean he's done with it?
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: It was just too hard for him to coach? I mean,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: he's as tough as they get, so, but I mean,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: or is he just referring to the fact that, you know,
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: when he takes the job, he's like, what do we have?
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: What?
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: We have Parsons and we have Tank. They both went
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: to the Pro Bowl last year. We got a guy
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: named Sam Williams who's going to be a really good
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: pass rusher. That's three guys right there, and we drafted
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: Marshawn Nelam. That's another guy right there. We got Digs
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: in plans, Diggs coming back, Bland, They then make the
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: safeties a lot better, and watch out for this overshown
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: guy like like and Kendricks. Yeah, Kendricks. I mean this
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: is you know, you brought him in, so that's what
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: we have. Oh okay, Well, how many of those guys
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: played the whole season? I I don't think any of
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: them right. Of all the guys I just mentioned, Kendricks
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: has missed two games over shown every guy that I
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: just mentioned there, Bland and Diggs they both missed like
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: half the season, and your linebackers, and you got Kendricks
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: has been in and now he's been pretty good, but
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: he's missed a couple. Overshown has missed you know, he's
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: gonna miss five or six games now probably, And then
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: you know, Sam Williams never even got to a preseason game,
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: and then Tank Tank played three games and Mike has
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: missed five. So you know that's maybe what he's being
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: when when when it's hard, it's like, oh, we're gonna
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: sign this guy. I can't pronounce his name. I think
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: it's over and he's gonna play tonight and he's gonna
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: make this way and then he's gonna beat hindured and
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: he's coming back and he's gonna play again, and we're
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: gonna have Carl Lawson and we're gonna have all these
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: guys at booth. And just just maybe that's the part
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: that he meant about being hard.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: All Right, let's go to one caller here before we
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: take a break. Robbie Coco Beach, Florida.
• 22:42
  Speaker 12: What's up today?
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: Good?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: I'm good.
• 22:46
  Speaker 12: The game turned out kind of how I expected. I mean,
• 22:48
  Speaker 12: there were some really good things in the beginning, like
• 22:50
  Speaker 12: you were talking about earlier, except for the interception. I
• 22:54
  Speaker 12: wonder what happens if we don't sw that takes there? Yeah,
• 22:58
  Speaker 12: I mean we get two scorers right off the bat
• 23:00
  Speaker 12: and then shut him down. That next time was three
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: and out. That it's been great.
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: It didn't happen.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: We still play good.
• 23:07
  Speaker 12: Yeah, guy, I wish you could say more about what
• 23:10
  Speaker 12: your feelings are about the defense.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: I just I just think there's gonna be some changes.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: I don't think the dynamics of it were great, you know,
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: And and and that's that's usually what happens when you
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: have a guy. I mean, it's just you have a
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: guy that was that was there and in line and
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: you know, maybe you know he has a chance to
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: be the DC, and then you make him the assistant
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: head coach.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: And I just I don't see all of those guys.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: Coming back the same and the same role, the same
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: role of Zimmer and Harris and then McCarthy that those
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: three I don't see all that kind of working itself out.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: But again, the main thing was that was for defense
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: was just the lack of continuity with all those injuries.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: The defense wasn't bad.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: We we you can say when the defense when they
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: had most of their guys, including Micah, they've been pretty good.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: They've been pretty good.
• 23:56
  Speaker 12: Yeah, they've been solid. I'll say it again. I've said
• 24:00
  Speaker 12: all year. I know Rob doesn't always agree with me,
• 24:02
  Speaker 12: and then he does and then he doesn't. But Captain,
• 24:04
  Speaker 12: my captain, I disagree. I think Mike McCarthy needs to
• 24:07
  Speaker 12: come back. I like him, and continuity breaths consistency.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, well, I mean you would you would hope so,
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: you know, but still comes back or not. I still
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: think that they need to have some kind of changes there.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: The offense change some tweaks too, So you know he
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: can come. I think he's going to be able to
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: come back. But I think that they're going to have
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: to make some kind of changes on the on the
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: offense and may see a different coordinator maybe, yeah, maybe
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: a new play caller because you know there there has
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: been some sometimes there. Now if he's you know, willing
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: to do that, I mean that's how he That's how
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: he got the job.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: You know, he got the job.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: And I don't think he loved the idea of Kellen
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Moore being here and calling the plays, but I mean
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: they don't. Well, they led the league in yards and
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: and and points I think for those two years.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: So you know, it worked. It works. You get a
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: guy that he likes and trust and it could work.
• 24:59
  Speaker 12: So and you know what else I'd like to see
• 25:01
  Speaker 12: I've said a couple of times, but boy, I think
• 25:03
  Speaker 12: Michael Parsons would shine in the three four. Yeah, And
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: I don't know if Al Harris says any knowledge of that.
• 25:08
  Speaker 12: If it does, that's what I'd like to see. I
• 25:11
  Speaker 12: know it take a year or two before we got
• 25:12
  Speaker 12: all the pieces, but a man, I'll talk about three
• 25:15
  Speaker 12: to four off the air if you want to or
• 25:18
  Speaker 12: take a break.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: Thanks, thanks Robbie the producer is letting me know what
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: to do.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: I do need to take a break, but uh, three four,
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: you know it, it does take a little bit of time.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: The Cowboys got fortunate when they were trying to do
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: it in two thousand and five and they just had
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: a great draft that fell perfectly for them. They were
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: able to get some guys and get some pieces and
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: and made that switch with Zimmer. Now Zimmer was the
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: was the coordinator. He switched as well. He was four
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: to three guy. He switched to three four with with
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Parcels and so they they've they've made that work. But yeah,
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: you need some different defensive tackles for that. You need
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: some linebackers, you know. To say that Micah and Sam
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: Williams could could do that.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I think I think it could. I mean I think
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: they could. They could.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: They could maybe switch to three four, But they're going
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: to have to get some pieces in place there. And
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know exactly where Overshown would fit into that,
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: especially with the injury now, but I'm not sure his
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: best position in that in the three fourth scheme. Then again,
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: it's going to be hard for him to get back
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: at the start of the season. But again, I'm not
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: going to count them out. Let's go to break here
• 26:22

• 28:22
  Speaker 15: That poor guy he can.
• 28:24

• 28:27
  Speaker 5: Like there was one play right to his chest. He
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: caught it, but everything else. It's low, it's high, it's
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: to the side. I mean, I I he's probably like,
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: what in the world do I have to do now
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: that deep ball?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred but I don't really know.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: I'm not one hundred percent sure that he turned the
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: wrong way or or what. But he had him, I
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: mean had it was a great stop and go. That's
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: exactly the type of player, of the type of move
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: that you wanted to see out of him. You know, big,
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: strong guy with speed, and he showed it there. But
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: then the pass was was off or he didn't turn
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: the right way.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, But.
• 29:07
  Speaker 15: Who is this that you don't really see him and
• 29:10
  Speaker 15: he's big, and then I'm like, oh, yeah.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: He's he's got you know, he's got the size and speed.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: And all that.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, he is a freak. But you know, there's
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: there's some things that got to be cleaned up. And
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: it's not just the ball that not thrown there. I'm
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: sure he's got to you know, he could be better
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: with the routes and all that kind of stuff. I
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: He's one that if if Dak's got the backyard, you know,
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: the dackyard is open. For business. Mingo's got to be
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: right there, you know. When we've seen these guys that
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: do it. We've seen Cedric Wilson spend all summer there
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: and he had a really good season. We saw Jalen
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: Tolbert do it. Tolbert's had a good season here, I
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: mean it's been solid. He's catching touchdowns. But Mingo needs
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: to be there, Yeah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: No doubt.
• 29:59
  Speaker 15: And U hey, I've seen him. I don't know if
• 30:01
  Speaker 15: you've seen this video, but Eagles fan giving Jerry a
• 30:04
  Speaker 15: hard time and one of the shots he's like looking
• 30:07
  Speaker 15: at on the field and the fans are turning around.
• 30:10
  Speaker 15: Let them have it?
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: Uh man? Is that it always is?
• 30:14
  Speaker 15: That they're sitting in the glass boof like that and
• 30:16
  Speaker 15: the fans can just see them.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, I didn't see it, but was it classless?
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 30:26
  Speaker 15: It just fits like a clear glass and they're like
• 30:29
  Speaker 15: right up against it and the fans that right underneath
• 30:32
  Speaker 15: it are just turning around looking at them, and yeah,
• 30:35
  Speaker 15: pretty sure shooting on the finger and just let them
• 30:38
  Speaker 15: have it. I'm like, geez, they gotta do everything.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, that's every time. I mean that's yeah, that's
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: every time, every place, every every inch of that stadium
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: inside outside. Yeah, I mean that's just that's part for
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: the course right there at Philadelphia. You know, there's no
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: other place where they just chant, you know, Dallas sucks,
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: Cowboys suck. No other place that they do that. You
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: you'll get some, you'll get them flying fingers every now
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: and again, you know when when you're when you're driving it.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: But it's very consistent there. That's the that's the way
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: that it is. Hey, they have a great football team.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: They're passionate, you know, good for them. But i mean,
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: let's not you know, when when you're when you're talking
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: about class, you know, and things like that. I mean,
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: they're still looking for the C in the l They
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: always have been. So that's this kind of the way
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: it is in Philly. All right, let's go to Champ
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: in Nebraska.
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: Champ, what's up, Hey, May, good morning.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: How are you.
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: I'm doing well? I guess not a victory Monday, but hey,
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: I'm alive.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Far from it actually, and not not really any anything
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: close to that as far as I'm sorry, as far
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: as the victory Monday, Yes you're alive, yes, yeah, of course.
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: All right, do you have a couple of quss I. Lastly,
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: when I called, I talked to you about McCarthy and
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: his job status, how I felt like listening to him
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: on one on five one through the fan, he shouted
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: a little more up me, didn't sound like he was
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: coaching for his job, and during the game I kind
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: of felt like he's not coaching for his job. Kids.
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: Just it felt different than it had the last few weeks.
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: Some of the calls he was making, I know you
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: and another one of the callers talked about that calling
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: or whatnot. So I just felt like, I'm secure, I'm good,
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: I know I've been told I'm coming back. I'm okay,
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: let's just do this, which led to some remarks I
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: don't know. I'm sure you probably heard that Turpin made
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: about not opening the offense up, saying, you know, we
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: were told that we didn't have CD, we'd be throwing
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: the ball down field and whatnot, and that never really happened.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: He didn't seem real happy with the way the offense
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: was called. I don't know why they didn't give him
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: some of those chances. Maybe they just didn't have the time.
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: I don't know. He didn't seem happy. The other thing
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: was yeah, right, it was after the game. It was
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: some of the comments he made, Yeah, about the often,
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: I didn't hear all that. I don't know what he
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: has to be unhappy about. But that again I didn't
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: hear it. I didn't hear it. I don't know.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: They threw the ball down the field.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: You know, they threw the ball down the field of
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: Mingo and he didn't right run the right way or the.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Past wasn't right right.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: They threw it deep to Cooked early in the game.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: We talked about that. It didn't make I mean, I
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: think they tried to throw the ball down the field
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: at at times. You know, there was a time where
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: he threw it underneath the Ferguson. He should have thrown
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: it to Tolbert down by the eagle sideline. He dumped
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: it off to Ferguson and Ferguson got stripped and fumbled
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: and that changed the game big time. But you know,
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: I don't know about not opening it up. And again
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: I did not hear what Turpin said.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: Maybe he just thought he was going to get more
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: shots than from his comments.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe. I mean.
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: The other thing was it you happen to watch the
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: video that of the Jerry was kind of getting her
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: ass by the Philadelphia fans.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: You know, I need to This is the second time
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: it's been brought up in a row second caller, but
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: I didn't.
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: I don't see. Well, then I'm going to give you
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: my opinion on it. You know, we're critical of Jerry,
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: all of us as fans. We talk about it and
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: we get mad at him. We wanted to do this
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: and we do that. But I was a little pissed
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: off watching that video. I didn't see much fun in
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: it from them. They were kind of mocking him, and
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: at one point they went to take a picture and
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: the guy says, don't touch me, and it just, you know,
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: I feel like this said big brother and little brother thing.
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: I can pick on my little brother as much as
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: I want, but don't you do it. I can talk
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: about my owner, but don't you do it. Especially as
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: a Philadelphia fan. It just really really didn't print well
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: with me the way that went. And Jerry is being Jerry,
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: and he's always a good guy, especially with fans visiting fans,
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: and he tall and he handled it Michael professional. I'll
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: give him that. He had every right to just walk away,
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: but he didn't. Give into that and I'll give him
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: that credit. So good for him. Yeah, you guys, and
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: get that. Don't talk to you tomorrow, do you guys?
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: Have a great year. Save the hear and we'll talk
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: to you later.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: All right, appreciate it?
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah again, I I we we we get on the
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: bus right after the game, you know, flying back and
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: you know, working writing articles, get home. So no, I
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: didn't see all that. I'm just trying to figure out
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: what time the game is and what day it's on.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: So like, like, I'll be honest, I didn't see all
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: of that. Apparently it's something, and I get there. I
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: get that part. You know, it's easy to talk, you know,
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: about Jerry and all that. Then when someone else does,
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: especially an Eagle fan, you're like, what, Yeah, I totally
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: understand that. I didn't see it, but I know that.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: You know, nobody takes criticism more or better than Jerry.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: Jerry can handle it. Okay, he can handle it. He
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: handles it every single week, every you know, three four
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: times a week. He can handle that. That's kind of
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: what he is and what he's done. Again, I didn't
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: see it. But if it's an Eagles fan or two
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: or three that are you know that are being disrespectful.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: I mean that just means like, oh, it must be
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: a day that ends with why, Like that's what it is.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's what you expect when you go there. Again,
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: if you're looking for class, that's you go to school. Okay,
• 36:25

• 37:51
  Speaker 1: It's that ker How everything good?
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: I'm good?
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: How are you good?
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: Good?
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 37:58
  Speaker 10: You know Ollie call earlier and he was absolutely right.
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: The difference between Philadelphia and Dallas is the front office.
• 38:06
  Speaker 10: I mean, Philly's what the Cowboys used to be. Jerry
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: used to be aggressive in in the draft and going
• 38:16
  Speaker 10: after players, and he's not anymore.
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: And they are.
• 38:20
  Speaker 10: And that's what that's the difference. It's it's not the quarterback.
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: The quarterbacks are very similar, they do it differently. It's
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: not the coaches. Sirianni and Mike McCaffey are just average coaches.
• 38:33
  Speaker 10: The differences free agencies, the differences just in that game
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: just look at that game alone, that the three guys
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: that killed you, Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown got an all
• 38:44
  Speaker 10: free agents, and and that's why we fell so far
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: behind these teams.
• 38:49
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 38:50
  Speaker 10: You know a couple of years ago, last year, and
• 38:52
  Speaker 10: maybe even two years ago, we were competing. Everybody kept
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: talking about we got to get past San Francisco, you know,
• 38:58
  Speaker 10: Philly in the division. Well, hell now we're behind Green Bay, Detroit, Minnesota, Pirley.
• 39:05
  Speaker 10: I mean, we just fell so far behind. And when
• 39:10
  Speaker 10: I hear Robbie talk about Mike McCarthy or any fan,
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: I say to myself, why would you want Magic Mike back?
• 39:19
  Speaker 10: But you want to take away the play calling? And
• 39:24
  Speaker 10: that was the reason why he.
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: Was brought here.
• 39:26
  Speaker 10: That's like me hiring you to a five year contract
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: to be a salesman. You fail, and I make you
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: my receptionist. It doesn't work that way. Is there's no
• 39:38
  Speaker 10: reason to bring him back if you're going to take
• 39:41
  Speaker 10: away why he was here. He has done nothing better
• 39:45
  Speaker 10: than Jason Garrets and he was supposed to go further.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: What's your stance today, I mean, what is your stance
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: with with McCarthy now? So that did that game change
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: your opinion on back or what.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Do you think.
• 39:59
  Speaker 10: No, my stance was I never wanted him to. My
• 40:03
  Speaker 10: stance was I thought Jerry was going to bring him back.
• 40:07
  Speaker 10: I think after yesterday, I don't think he's coming back
• 40:10
  Speaker 10: because Jerry can't sell this to us. He's already cut well.
• 40:14
  Speaker 10: His son's already come out and told us we're not
• 40:18
  Speaker 10: going to spend money next year. So you're not going
• 40:20
  Speaker 10: to spend money next year, and you're going to bring
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: back this guy. No, you can't sell that to the fence.
• 40:26
  Speaker 10: This coach has showed you that unless everything goes absolutely perfect,
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: and your quarterback is in an MVP race and your
• 40:36
  Speaker 10: wide receiver is top two and everything and Mike and everybody,
• 40:42
  Speaker 10: and you still couldn't in a playoffs game. He doesn't
• 40:46
  Speaker 10: make the team better, he doesn't give you an edge
• 40:50
  Speaker 10: over other coaches. And sometimes he's a detriment. Like the
• 40:55
  Speaker 10: other callers said, second and three, you're chucked in the
• 40:58
  Speaker 10: ball over the yard. If it was Dak, I could
• 41:01
  Speaker 10: understand it. I'd be still mad, But I can say
• 41:04
  Speaker 10: Cooper Rush is not the guy to do that with.
• 41:08
  Speaker 10: And he's done this not only this year, he's done
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: it last years it's in his DNA. He will never
• 41:14
  Speaker 10: stick with the run. So if we're talking about drafting,
• 41:18
  Speaker 10: let's say Gentry GENTI, why, yeah, he wouldn't use it.
• 41:23
  Speaker 10: So what I'm saying is he's just not the guy
• 41:25
  Speaker 10: for the job. That's all five years has failed. He's
• 41:30
  Speaker 10: got one playoff win in five years, and now you've
• 41:34
  Speaker 10: got to rebuild the team. And I don't think if
• 41:37
  Speaker 10: you're going to rebuild a team, I wouldn't rebuild a
• 41:39
  Speaker 10: team with him, bringing a young guy, or bringing a
• 41:43
  Speaker 10: guy that maybe different style, like a Mike Rabel. He's
• 41:46
  Speaker 10: a different style, and go get a young OC or
• 41:49
  Speaker 10: go after Ben Johnson because he proves that he could
• 41:53
  Speaker 10: really run an offense. But I just don't understand bring
• 41:56
  Speaker 10: him back Magic Mike and saying we're gonna take this away.
• 42:01
  Speaker 10: We're gonna take this away, we're gonna change your coaches out.
• 42:04
  Speaker 10: But you get to live, you get to stay. No, No,
• 42:08
  Speaker 10: that's not right. He should go down with the ship.
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: He's had five years. And like I said, I think
• 42:14
  Speaker 10: yesterday was so embarrassing that I just don't think. And
• 42:18
  Speaker 10: you know, and listen, you know, Jerry Jones, it's about marketing.
• 42:21
  Speaker 10: It's about looking towards the streets. He he hears the
• 42:25
  Speaker 10: fans he's you know, they always say they don't, but
• 42:28
  Speaker 10: they do.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: And I just don't think.
• 42:29
  Speaker 10: You could sell that to us when you already basically
• 42:34
  Speaker 10: threw a black ut over the next.
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: Let's be honest, does Jerry have to sell it to you?
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: Like like, I know you say that, but disease.
• 42:42
  Speaker 10: I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you, Nick, yes,
• 42:44
  Speaker 10: because I shut that game off at halftime. And I've
• 42:47
  Speaker 10: done that more this year than fifty years of being
• 42:50
  Speaker 10: a Cowboy fan, no joke. This has been the worst
• 42:55
  Speaker 10: year to watch the Dallas Cowboys.
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: Did you.
• 42:59
  Speaker 10: Tell I did not?
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: Did not?
• 43:00
  Speaker 10: Okay, I had no idea what happened after halftime.
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: So that had nothing to do with twenty four to seven.
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: You just I mean that that, you know, you shut
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: it off because it was two four seven.
• 43:10
  Speaker 10: It had to do with the but it also had
• 43:12
  Speaker 10: to do with the product on the field, it had
• 43:15
  Speaker 10: to do with It's just it's boring, okay, all right,
• 43:18
  Speaker 10: Mike McCarthy is boring.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Well that yeah, that's that's all. That's not gonna change. Like,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: that's not gonna change.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Rob.
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: I appreciate it. We got to take one more caller.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: Thank you, and call back tomorrow if you can. We
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: do have a show tomorrow. And I and I when
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: I say that, I'm not trying to be disrespectful to
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: you guys, to to the fans, like your opinion doesn't
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: matter and all that, but the whole selling it, you know,
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: he's gonna they're gonna spin it the way they've always
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: you know, spun it, and and and he's looking for
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: for continuity, and he's and he's you know, he doesn't
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: necessarily want to change if that's what they do again,
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: I don't know if if they're making a change or not.
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: I think it's still it's still on the table and
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: anything is possible at this point. Let's go to one
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: more call here. Richard is in California.
• 44:02
  Speaker 9: Richard, good morning, How are you good?
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: How are you doing well?
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: If I'm honest, I'm struggling. I've been a Cowboys fan
• 44:11
  Speaker 9: since nineteen seventy eight. I live here in Ventura, California,
• 44:15
  Speaker 9: probably five miles from training camp Nice and I have
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: two questions for you, one about yesterday's game and one
• 44:21
  Speaker 9: about the long term picture for the Cowboys.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Can I stop you real quick, because this is your
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: first time call.
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: It is my first time call, time listener.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Here we go, all right, got to get that in.
• 44:33
  Speaker 9: All right, no, no, no problem, thank.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: You, let's go. Here we go.
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: I'm interested in your perspective on the third and one
• 44:40
  Speaker 9: call yesterday where they threw it like forty five yards
• 44:42
  Speaker 9: down the field for an incomplete house.
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: So funny, so funny you brought this up because I
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: actually am looking at that like as another play that
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: should be mentioned because they called time out beforehand. You're
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: talking about in the second quarter they had one.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Seven, they called time out.
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: And then to talk about it, that looked like a
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: two play. It looks like you're going to go for
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: it here because you're on your own forty one, you're
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: probably going to go for it if you call time
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: out third one and then they throw it deep to Mingo.
• 45:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I just I didn't understand that. And then my
• 45:10
  Speaker 9: second question for you is we've got a head coach
• 45:14
  Speaker 9: and a defensive coordinator who's heyday was in the nineties.
• 45:18
  Speaker 9: Their heyday was in the nineties. We haven't won in
• 45:20
  Speaker 9: three decades. Mike McCarthy. If we look at his five
• 45:23
  Speaker 9: year record with the Cowboys. If you take the three
• 45:26
  Speaker 9: years dan quinn was on the team out of the equation,
• 45:30
  Speaker 9: he's thirteen and nineteen, probably going to be thirteen and twenty.
• 45:34
  Speaker 9: I don't understand why we would keep him other than
• 45:36
  Speaker 9: Jerry being stubborn.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: What's the record thirteen in twenty for what?
• 45:41
  Speaker 9: For Mike McCarthy in the two years he had did
• 45:44
  Speaker 9: not have dan Quinn as a coordinator. I think dan
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: Quinn really developed the culture in that organization. I don't
• 45:50
  Speaker 9: think Mike has. And if you look at the first year,
• 45:53
  Speaker 9: in the last year that McCarthy coached without Quinn, he's
• 45:56
  Speaker 9: thirteen and nineteen, probably gonna end up thirteen and twenty.
• 45:59
  Speaker 9: Why would you keep him unless it's just because Jerry
• 46:01
  Speaker 9: stubborn and he wants to try to prove that he's right.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: I'm not one hundred percent with you on the fact
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: that it's it's dan Quinn, you know, just just dan
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: Quinn alone, like that was the reason. But you know
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: that's that's that's fair. And and and you said the nineties,
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: are you talking about Zimmer? You're not talking about McCarthy.
• 46:24
  Speaker 9: Jimmer, Jimmer and McCarthy there Haydi was in the nineties.
• 46:26
  Speaker 9: The game has evolved so much in the last twenty
• 46:29
  Speaker 9: five years, thirty years, and we don't seem to want
• 46:32
  Speaker 9: to bring in a young, innovative, creative mind. Yeah, all
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: the teams that seem to be winning, with the exception
• 46:39
  Speaker 9: of the Chiefs, who have the best quarterback in the game.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not going to argue with
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: you on that.
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, like you're you're you're eleven years ago is
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: still a long time ago. So let's just let's say that.
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: Let's say it called the nineties, but you know, it
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: was twenty eleven. I mean, he actually won the Super
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: Bowl at AT and T Stadium, so it's not like
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: it was the you know, there was that long go
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: But it's been a while. If you want to make
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: that argument, that's fine. It's it's been what thirteen years
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: or so. But yeah, again, like the team's last three
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: years were good teams, good to great.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: That's what he's supposed to do.
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: Come in here, and they had a good they had
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: a good run, but they got to win in the
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: playoffs and they did not. They did not win in
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: the playoffs this year. They probably weren't headed there even
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: without the injuries, they probably weren't. So I just can't
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: get past the Saints game. The Saints game, I can't
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: get past it. Yes, they played better, but they had
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: all the guys there, and they got smashed by a
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: team that ended up being bad. So they're gonna pick.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: They're gonna pick before you pick. And so you got
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: beat by a Saints team at home, and that was
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: just kind of that just started this whole thing. And
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: so yes, you could say the and the injuries did matter.
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: There's no doubt about it. You cannot lose that many
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: players to injuries. That's what they were counting on. They
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: were counting on all these guys. I mean, Jerry said,
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: he went the first press conference of augst already said
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: we've got fourteen Pro Bowl players that had been to
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: the Pro Bowl. We had ten last year. Fourteen guys
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: that we have a really good roster. And of those
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: fourteen players, I think eleven of them have missed multiple
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: games this year and a six or seven of them
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: have been on injured reserve. So that's that's just in
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: this era, that's just too hard to overcome. Now, that
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: probably prevented them from from you know, making a push
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: here in the last couple weeks to make it to
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: the playoffs, but that Saints game showed you there were problems.
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: There were problems that had nothing to do with injuries.
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: So I think I think it's a little bit of both.
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: It's not just one thing or another. It's a little
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: bit of both. Guys, great great show today, great call,
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: great calls. We're going to talk about it tomorrow. We'll
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: be here tomorrow and then we'll come back on Thursday.
• 48:57

• 49:00
