Did any path to the playoffs close for the Cowboys last night? · The Craig Way Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wanted.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: Do you get to a little more from Cowboys owner,
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: president and general manager Jerry Jones. Now, this, you know,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: all comes in the aftermath of the loss to the
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals last night, the Monday night football loss, which
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: you know was most unfortunate. I think a way to
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: describe how it ended up. When it looked like the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Cowboys were going to be teed up to have a
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: real chance to win it. They were forcing Cincinnati to
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: pun him fourth in twenty seven. There was right around
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: two minutes to go in the game. They blocked the punt,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: but unfortunately is it skipped forward, It goes across a
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: lot of scrimmage, and then Imani Warria as he's he's
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: clearly not accidentally touching it. He's making a play to
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: try to field the ball and a hop. And that's
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: why I say, I can believe that he was trying
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: to field it and do like kind of like a
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: scoop and score and take it back to distance. I
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: get where he's going with that. It's just that's a
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: risk reward thing. You have to you better be sure
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you get it because it's a live ball. After across
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the lot of scurrents, Whether you realized that or not.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I think he probably did know it, but I think
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: he was still aggressively trying to make the play.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: And that's like a dog seaball take ball. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and it's just you see I football.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Coming towards you. Your your natural instinct is to try
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and grab it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: And he also was activated for that game, right, Is
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: that what I understand?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was. But he's played in the past. I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: remember his name.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: He's played in the secondary, so it's not like he's
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a complete unknown or something.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Anyway, it was it was very difficult.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Also difficult was the loss of Demarve and Overshown, who
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: tore the ACL and has left kne last year early
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: in fall camp or training camp and then had what
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: an ACL, a PCL and an MCL. Men he had
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the triple crown last night when he went down. Jerry Jones,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: we heard earlier talk about how bad the injury update was,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and he was asked about his relationship with Demo and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: what he's meant in the locker room of the team.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: I've heard Mike by his coaches. I've heard adjectives like
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Michael has genius, he's he's a rare rare athlete, rare
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: person really, and he really has quite a range of
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: of just living life. And so he's not only a
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: gifted may be his gift to the athlete as I've
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: been around personally, but more importantly, he's also got quite
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: a range memory. Uh, he does a lot of just
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: really rare things. And it doesn't surprise me at all
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: that he could have an emotional swim in to the
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: bottom the way he did after that ball after really
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: given a big accounting. He was a real factor in
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: that ball game to have us in a position to
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: a win.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: It so tough there, and so because they didn't win it,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: they've dropped to five and eight. I think what was
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the ESPNFPI index had it as a zero point two
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: percent chance of making the playoffs zero point two. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: question Jerry, as the playoff door now closed.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Well, I know that we needed to win the game
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: to really to really have what I would call a
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: a really went out get better chance to get in
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. And then we had to have some things
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: happened for us. That was set back last night. That
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: was a hard one. Real have to circle of wagons
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: here and get out here and get ready to play Carolina,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: who gave Kaanas City all they wanted last week. So
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: bottom line is that this is the life.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: We've chosen, Jerry, is the life you've chosen, Jerry.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: It is speaking of choosing, was Jerry and Kline to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: see about Mike McCarthy giving Trey Lance some more playing
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: time now that Cooper Rush is continuing the show. He's
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: not the best option for you.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: There got all of the you got it, Pegg, you
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: were correct and how you looked at all the things
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: to consider here. But wins are important for us, very
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: important for us. This is a young team, Cooper, we
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: think gives us our best chance. We want to look
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: at everything about last night and make sure the tale
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: of the tape, so to speak, keeps us in the
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: same mode. But it's very important to go down in
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: beat Caro Lader for this team next year and the
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: next year. And we've got a lot of young players
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: out here that we want to get that experience. And
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: so you have to consider that when you consider just
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: if you will evaluating at such a critical position the
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: quarterback we're both talking.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: About, all right, So there it is.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you feel about this, and I'm
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: not just funning around with your fandom or lack of
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: fandom or whatever.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Cooper Rush has just never done it for me. I mean,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I know that one magical Sunday night gamings, the Vikings.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I just don't. I don't see the dynamism that you
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: need from a quarterback out of him to do it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Not to say Trey Lance has it, I don't know
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that he does. Forty nine ers obviously gave up on
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: him early enough. But I guess I don't know what
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the answer is. Like so many others, there is no answer.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Cooper Rush, Trey Lance, Steven Jones's grandson, does not matter
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: who's a quarterback for the Cowboys, I'll tell you that much.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Even even when Dak Prescott, you saw how bad this
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: team was.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, dou Dak by the way, expecting a second child.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Good for him. Yeah yeah, congratulations at the code of Prescott.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah right.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: We'll be back to wrap up today's program on sport
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Trado AM thirteen under the Zone.
