The following here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys flowing out of the backfield's flooding down the sidelines. He's hanging with the boys. Presented by wing Stuff where Flavor gets its wings. Now, your hosts Nate Newton, Kurt Daniels, Jesse Holly, and Shannon Gross. Tuesday, you're looking live Toastito's championship clouds outside Ford Centers. The Star Frisco at sixty one degrees feels like fifty eight.
The highest seventy three. The low tonight is fifty one. And today, fellas, it's a sad, sad day in the podcast world because this will be our last daily show until probably after we will go to weekly. We will be on Mondays at eleven o'clock. So that's that man. Just like the players season ends and they clean out their lockers, we're cleaning ours out today. So any dirty trash packs, any dirty laundry you got, just air it on the show. Any beef you got with somebody, Nate, Jesse,
Kurt Hell, even Chris, y'all got some beef. Let's let's take the let's go call us by the way we need to hear how upset the fan base is eight eight five two two nine seven. Uh, man, this are you're feeling any better? Me? Yeah? About what you know. I'm just kind of getting over the depression of it all. You know. I've had a couple of people tell me that this is the worst. This is the worst that they've felt since they've worked here. Somebody that works here
has been here thirteen years. He's like, this one hurt the most. This one didn't hurt me that bad. Really. I think it hurt me knowing the potential at the beginning of the year. But the way that they played about halfway through the season is exactly what this game was. You couldn't clean up the penalties, you knew what the game plan was, you couldn't execute it. You got the offense going, but by the time you got rolling, it
was too late. So I mean, I'm I'm not shocked if you would if this game would have happened the seventh or eighth game of the season, I would be really upset, because but the thing is, like the flip side of that is, I think this team had the talent to go all the way. I just don't know why they couldn't figure it out, whether he's coaching, whether it's players, whether it's scheme, whether it's I just can't
figure it out. I think that the part ending part is the part that I guess hurt me the most, not hurt me the most, but disappointing me the most, because I thought this team was as well put together from top to bottom, and to have as many players hit, free agents, draft picks, veterans, that doesn't happen very often, especially around here, you know, across the league. But when you get your veterans, your draft picks, and your free
agents to hit. And the disappointing part to me was when it was all said and done, I said to myself, it's gonna be a while before we get back to that kind of that group of talent, that kind of uniqueness of being able to hit on all cylinders. And then you start looking around the landscape of the league. That's why it's so important to strike while your iron is hot, because they're so many teams that are coming
like that. You're gonna have the new dogs, like like Aaron Town, you know, Tom, those guys are getting older, but you know, kind of going into certain Primes. You got guys like Patrick Mahomes. But then you got the Boroughs of the worlds, the Herberts of the worlds that are coming, you know, you know, Russell Wilson, depending upon where he lands at next year, he's still going to be coming. You know what what is who is treye Lands?
You know, you know what I'm saying, right, Even the guys we don't know about guys talent, right, Matt Jones, Matt Jones, Josh Allen. Yeah, I mean there's a bunch of dudes who are are coming and you know, has got some stuff behind them. And I just thought, like we we we missed a massive, massive opportunity to do something special because you just don't get and again next year, you don't you don't know what you're going to have
as a unit. You know, we don't know. Not wishing that on anyone, but you don't know the next injury is gonna come, right, you know? And that's that's the other crappy part about this is you finished the season like I don't remember finishing the season ever. You had every single guy on the field except Ken O'Neill, but you finished with all of your top dogs healthy and playing and ready to go. And on your point, Jesse,
where you don't the talent. I talked to a couple of different people that are that have been here for twenty thirty years, and they said, this is the best group of guys as far as the locker room that
they have ever seen. And they were here when you were here, Nate, they were here when Mike was here in Troy, and they said, as far as a whole unit, the way the guys got along, just good people, good character guys, and the way that they interacted with each other and the way they were like, this was the best group they've had. And like you said, we talked to Will McClay last night, he was on Cowboys Hour.
There's twenty one or twenty two free agents on this team, so you got to figure at least half of them are gone, probably more. And you got what three wide receivers, Cedric Wilson, Malik Turner, Noah Brown, Yeah, and Michael Gallant. You got four wide receivers. You don't know what's going on with Zeke. There's talks to the Mary May went out. You know, I know he got three left on this deal. But do they make a decision and say, hey, this upfront money gone. You know what I'm saying, Hey, dude,
are you worth the twenty million dollars next year? You know? So, I mean there's a lot of things. If the new officeer coordinator comes in here, does he look at that it's a guy he wants in this system. But can you secure what office coordinator? So Kellum gone potentially, or he may be your head coach. M No, no, Steve, you know Steven said yesterday. Don't do that to Stevens.
Come on, I wait a second, We're not gonna say Steven said yesterday that, you know, Mike mc any, I'm if I'm a coach or a player, any time there is a hot seat kind of moment, it is an opportunity where I can be fired. Anytime I get that overly glowing review from my bosses. I'm a little bit nervous anytime I get that over the top. Oh no, he's really really, really really I'm nervous because I'm like, that's just kind of keep people at bay while they figure things out in the back end. Or does he
really believe that? But I do want to dive into this coaching situation thing. But I don't think Jerry's gonna do that like he did it Chan Gailey. I mean, he did the same thing to Chan Gailey, right, Chan Gailey made the playoffs, one of the division had one playoff game, and that he fired him his second year. And he's not gonna do that again, we hope. I think that's been one of his biggest regrets. I've heard that.
I've heard that a lot that that was one of his biggest regrets, that he didn't hold on the channel and getting random Moss, yeah yeah, and not having me come back for my fourth season. That wasn't all right. Maybe no, But like because we hear a lot and a lot of talk has been going on across the league. You know, Black Monday happened last week, is continuation this week as more coaches begin to get fired and opportunities come about. Recently, the Vegas Vegas job, well, the biggest
GM job comes open. And anytime you bringing a new GM, most likely he's gonna want to bring in his own coach. So Rich Besaccia yea, he was in tim anyway, so he'll I don't know if he'll get a chance, but anyway, and so you're hearing all this talk about coaching, coaching, coaching, We can almost you can almost set your watch to this.
Dan Quinn will not be here next year, right, Nate, You can look at me anywhere you want to look at week, right exactly, dan Quinn is not going to be here right now, is looking like Denver's hot on his trails. They meet tonight, that dinner was flying out tonight, tomorrow, whatever, and he has other two interviews today, right, he has to today, Yes, four this week? Can we move on? I'm just saying, so, let's let's set our watches to dan Quinn will not be here unless unless he's your
new head coach. Right wow? And and I know right now we live in this overall. We live in this instant society. Right, it's fired the coach, get the new guy here, and everybody has their pick. And this is not Jesse defending Mike McCarthy. But let's just take a step back and look at this thing here. If we fire Mike McCarthy, what direction are we going in? Because this is true, this is truly his first season. I don't even count last year in the COVID year offseason
Dak breaks his ankle. You don't that year to me, didn't happen as far as coaching wise, Yeah, he couldn't establish could anything. A lot of coaches struggle with that type of teaching and learning and all that kind of stuff. So in his first true season, he takes your team the twelve or five, they win the division, they make it to the playoffs, yet first round exit. And maybe you're saying, hey, we really want to keep dan Quinn.
And the only way we're gonna keep dan Quinn and we make him head coach, they're going to be coaching issues and problems with whoever you bring in here. Bring in here. We've watched all across the league. There are coaches, good ones who had clock management issues, and we don't know all that goes upstairs as far as meetings and all this kind of stuff. But like you said, he's the CEO of all of this. This group has been the most cohesive group that I've seen in a long time.
You talked about people sending the billingmen in thirty years and said the same thing, that's partly due to him. That's partly due to the culture he's built in this locker room, in this facility. And let's not forget dan Quinn while he's the hot name right now, and he took this He took this defense from ish to sugar and made it look a little better this year. He didn't have to do much. When you when you're historically bad one year, you ain't gotta do much to bring
it up the next year. But dan Quinn, because we always say, well, why didn't why didn't someone so getting the headset and tell Kelly Moore or tell Foster no, no no, no no, not to do that. Dan Quinn didn't tell Kyle Shannon hadn't run a football the Super Bowl that they lost. He came up. He came up small in that game as well as the head coach. Dan Quinn at one point time had a top five quarterback Matt Ryan, and dan Quinn's time was a top five to seven
quarterback in the league. Outside of getting to the Super Bowl, he didn't do pretty pretty a lot. So just kind of understand when you're talking about let's hire a new coach, let's bring a new guy in here under when you upset that apple cart, understand that there's gonna be more like dan Quinn will come with his own set of issues. While he may rye ry the guys and guys may play for him. He'll have his set, he'll have a
thing we look will go. You know what, Maybe he's too defensive minded, maybe he's not focused enough on the offense. We want to see more points score. We don't want to see muck it up games. We don't want to see low scoring games, whatever it may be. And I'm not saying this again to defend Mike McCarthy or to crap on dan Quinn. Just know whatever coach we bring in here is gonna have their own set of issues. So we have to just decide on what are we
willing to deal with. And the thing that we're willing to deal with is the pro side of that going to get us any further than what we've been since Nate Newton was roaming the sidelines, because up to this point it has not. It has not, and we've had someone even dan Quinn disciples, we had Christopher Chard, we had other people here who cool now comes under him because he's not going to be able to have that attention to detail that he had now being the head coach.
Heing a bad attorneys backwards and get down with the defensive Lineman and do those technique things that he did when you're the head coach, because you got sixty three guys, sixty something guys to not worry about instead of just the guys in your unit. So we have to just make sure when when we're asking and begging for new coaches to come in here, the system will change, the
attitude will change. I'm sure we all sit back and you know those coach sitting at meeting and the guy who the defensive coordinat as corn, they look at the head cords and say, I would do that better, or I would do this different. And the position guy look at the cords and to say, if I was the coordinator, I would do that different. And the assistance of the coaches look at those guys that say if I was the receiver coach or the dB coach, I would do
that better, and so on and so forth. So we just have to just make sure that when we're looking at this whole coaching thing that we're really taking account into this. Stop Jesse, stop you're painting the hell of a picture. But the bottom line is all the offensive coordinator got to do, and I'm talking about the head coach is be a little bit more involved in the offense. But how would be all right? But Nate, you know
the structure here. You know the structure here. You're saying, be a little bit more involved in and how and running the ball. We had one issue in this game as an offensive alignement. Well then let him let him, Let him call the plays. Let him call the plays. You think, don't don't don't tell me that I ain't you know, don't tell me. I'm the head coach and my specialty is calling offense. And all of a sudden, now I got a cow down, cow down down, down town.
Now he thought he was making a hell of a decision when he left the guy kill him as the offensive coordinator to call the only problem we had him looking at this game is ten zip with the five power we have offensively, and it's only ten zip in the first quarter. The game is not out of hand, The game is not lost. You your your your offensive line is struggling because you have let these guys say, you know what, just just stop one more run and they will pass the ball. And you just let these dudes,
just like Pervrahmas, eat up our offensive line. Offensive line is not as bad as as this game portrayed it to be. It cannot be this bad. It is. You did not no, but you didn't get them into help because now the traps the kid, the left guard can get out and pull the the center can get out and pull the guard. Right guard is everything. He can do it at all. But you only got one true mawler, and that is your right guard. You gotta do something. Your tight ends gotta come down on guys, chop blocks,
quick whams. You gotta do something that you watch that game, that offensive line Tiger was bad, Yes I was. Kyla Williams was bad. Well let him go, Well, let him go forward. But what I'm saying, well, let him go. They how you lost the game? How do they know all of that? By better a better blocking scheme, by your your office accordinator calling let's fire Joe Filbin. You know,
let's fire him too. Now I'm saying you you can do things during the game, make some type of a justment so it's not every time I gotta catch a guy coming in my chest. Well I gotta got you got Eric Armstead, you got Bowser, you got number ninety, you goes only played a half By the end of the damage was done. They only had one He had one second the first and they had four second up. It's called setting it up. It's called salt. It's called sighting.
If you get a tough steak, a grade be a grade seas steak, and you put some seasons and salt on it, and you keep beating and you keep beating it, eventually it's gonna get solt. That's what happened here. We just kept we just kept passing, it kept pass until eventually it got solt. And all of a sudden, our quarterback he dropping back. He's standing back there in the shotgun. By time he look up to look at the reds and see if his free reds was correct. They're all
over him. How do you slow that down? You just keep passing. You just keep passing, and you just keep pass and you just keep No, you don't do it like that. Brother, You gotta go into the house and look at him. Man, drop your what's between your legs. We're gonna get out. We number down by seven points. Come on, man, come on, man, all right, let's take our first break. When we come back. Phone calls we want to hear. You can get all the phone calls
you won't. If they ain't coming with the right stuff, they might will cut him off in twenty seconds. They give me twenty seconds.

Hello, Hey,
what's up guys? How are you? Um? I'm good man. I was just uh, I don't have any like any football language to talk about it. I'm just calling just to express how I was feeling about the game, So Nate, don't kill me. But nah, I'm just a little disappointed with how everything went on Sunday and stuff like that. Obviously, I'm feeling a little better with the errors on the last because I was hoping that we would end up
seeing them in the playoffs. But to be honest with you, I felt good about us playing the forty nine ers. That hole, that from the moment we found out up until game that point out and it was just, uh, I got to echo what you guys have been saying. It's just like penalties, man Like, I think that's what killed what kill I know that's what kills us the most.
And it's like, you know, I was waiting for Dak to have I'm a big Dak supporter, and I was waiting for Dak to had like that ass catch a moment where he turns his half backwards and you know it's over from there and stuff like that. But we didn't really quite get that. And I mean I felt like they did the best that they could. But you know, I think one of my main concerns have been like there you go, there you go. I get I gave him all that. Did you did you did? Sorry? Tony
Noah is like, yeah, this about high game went. We just waited for it to happen, waited for it to happen, wait, and then all these sudden the game was over. The season was like that waited for it to happen, waiting for it to happen. Brother, my bad, this is are you They ain't known deal the reason why? And I and I told Shannon. This all year long, we on cross Stark. I see, this team is a good team.
They beat every little bad team, they slaughter them. But whenever we face the good teams, you know, we automatically get this team. We're not gonna be able to run the ball. So we're just gonna let Dak win the game for us. But you know what, let's exclude Amari from this equation and let's make sure we get everybody off and going. And this is what it's been all year. This is what it's been all year long. Did we did we eat the cheese on this some drinking crew?
I know I did, because I mean you look back. I mean they were six and oh against the nfcast, which sucks. Against everybody else, they were six and five. I mean they were They didn't have any signature wins. Like you said. They blew out, you know, fifty points on you know, Eagles B team and then get whipped by Arizona. I mean maybe we got but maybe they're not as good as we thought. They are a good team, Kurt,
They're just a good team. And and and we're gonna have to find a way to take advantage of what little bit of offensive line we have. You gotta find somebody in the third or fourth round. Uh, we gotta find it. We're gonta to find a blocking tight end, fellas, we're gonna have to find. Let me ask you a question. Do those exist anymore? Yes? They do? Like oura, go go to ourwa They breed them, Bro, They come out of their moms blocking tight end, blocking tight Yeah, they
come out of their moms like that. Bro. Don't don't this this this high powered offense. The main thing that makes it tick. You took its heart and that was the offensive line, the main thing that makes it tick. There's no passes to nobody if your quarterback. Your quarterback dropped back one time and turned the round and he was awestruck like a deer sitting in front of an eighteen wheeler. Where do I go from here? You can't
go anywhere because we covered you from every side. But I watched Tom Brady on Saturday, the Saturday or Sunday morning. He lost his two he lost his center, and he lost this right tackle and they still went on and blew him out. Lost a key receiver during the season. I saw it, man, I'm looking at Tom every but Tom like you know what, he's been there, he's done that, and this offensive coordinator. They don't sit over there and
say let's go empty. And if they do say let's go empty, I got I got passes that I'm gonna cut you like a razor blade. I'm gonna cut you a thousand times, and at the end of the game, you're gonna be gonna blared out and then I'm gonna take you over the top. We don't have that in this offense. Where do we have that's in offense? We're gonna cut you a thousand times. Why so, why aren't we talking more about firing the offensive coordinating and then
we are firing the head coach? You never heard, mis sake, I'm not I'm not talking to you. I'm not talking to you. And you know I'm talking to you, but I'm not talking to you. Yeah, you're talking over me. Okay, I understand I'm talking. So but why is it always fired Mike McCarthy. Mike has to go when everything that we're talking about here is you gave the keys to a Ferrari to a guy who to an inexperienced driver, and you're hoping and wishing that he finds his way
in in the middle of the autobod. Why not fire Kelling Moore? Why not? Why not? Why aren't we screaming let's look for a new offensive coordinator, and that's going to be the case. I only have one problem. I only have one problem, and I don't change off my problems. Find a way to keep Dan Quinn. That ain't happening, Nate, I'm sorry. The only the only way that happens is you'll fire your head coach and you'll point him the
head coach he got. He got six jobs available for him. Hey, none of them got quarterbacks, and but one of them got a quarterback coach, Quinn, don't do that. You know better than that. They ain't number one of him, and that's in Jackson. You know what, I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed. The only place that I can see him going is Denver quarterback. Well, he's got a relationship with the GM that why why good way back? Why
would he stay? I mean he just because I don't because I don't know, I've I've I've heard that people that have talked to him. He doesn't sound like he wants to be a head coach. Right now at this time, why do the interviews? He's high, his stock is high. You know what, if you here's the way I look
at it. If you get offered an interview, I think, no matter what walk of life you're in, you should take the interview just to see what's out there, no matter how happy you are, see what what's out there, because you never know. The hottest guy out there, his stock couldn't be higher than right now. But you know what, what if you if you're not ready to do that, if you're in a good play, look at Will McClay. His stock's not gonna get much higher than what it is.
But if account got higher, right it may Maybe they do that with Dan here. But I'm just saying there's certain people that being in the spotlight and having a head coaching job or doing certain things that's not that important to them at those moments in their life. And and I'm not saying here, I'm not saying he's not going like you know your good point? Why is he going on all these interviews? If you, if you're happy,
you just say no, I'm good, I'm staying here. But I wouldn't be It wouldn't completely surprise me if he does stay and if he goes somewhere, I think he goes to Denver. But like you said, Nate, there's not a lot of good quarterbacks. The forty nine ers man for man, the defense versus offense, man for man. Evidently they were better than us. No it EVI did leave. We judged him. We misjudged him by a whole lot. No, no, no, Nate. We didn't misjudge them. We didn't. I didn't misjudge them. Well.
I think we all said exactly what they needed to do on this show. We didn't. We didn't miss judge them. We called We called them exactly who they were. Exactly who they were was who showed up both Sunday Deebo Samuel's We talked about him, didn't he huney yards total offense and a touchdown? He showed up. We talked about Boston, didn't we He showed up. We talked about Eric Armstead, right, he showed up. We talked about the running game, right,
that showed up. We talked about Trent Williams, nothing, Fred Water, nothing that we talked about didn't show up. There was nothing out of the ordinary. There was like, oh my god, who is this guy that had a hunting yard receiving that we've never heard before? He was off a reality TV show, right, we never heard? That wasn't the case. Jimmy g didn't do anything outside of what we thought we was. I was once again. I was on the wrong show instead of a survival, I was on butt
nakedn't afraid, right, exactly? All right, Let's take another call before we go to Brad who we got crazy? We got Anthony in Miami? Anthony, what's up? My dudes? Was up? Fellas? I feel real good? And Jesse, let me tell you something, you know. I love all y'all, y'all many points every week, everybody. Jesse, you just made a great point, all you. Keller Moore has been my problem and my throwing in my side, and I can tell you this, give me, give me
eight more seconds on my thirty. I'm gonna tell you why if a genie in a bottle told Keller you can win eighty percent of your games, but you must run the ball thirty times a cut. You can't throw it over thirty. So if you get to your thirty throwing, you got to add that to your runs. Right, Kelly will not take it. He's already told him you're gonna win eighty percent of your games. He would not do it.
He would not focus on the run. He would not do on blocking schemes or anything that allows us to run when we know the record shows that we have to run the ball to win. And that's the problem. He does it late in the game. He throws the ball, he doesn't run it. That's a major issue, man, and that's my problem. I don't want that dude back us than that within me. See you. Thanks for the call, Anthony.
All right, let's take our second break. When we come back, more phone calls, hang out with the boys, Brace yourself for an existential question. Has your butt been having enough fun lately?

They don't play to win, they play to not lose. Normally, you know, most years, I think that This year, I just think I think they just couldn't get it going. What is insane with the tools
you had. It's almost like if it's possible to have too much talent, this team I think had too much talent because I think you had to like look at the forty nine ers. You know what they are on off George Kittle offensive line and Deebo Samuel and that's it, and Mitchell that's it and they're getting the ball. They
are getting the ball. We have Amari, we have CD we have Gallup, we have Cedric, we have Tony Pollard, we have dak We But that is but you had no identity because from game to game it's like who do we who? Where do we go? How do we get started? And then by the time you figure it out, that's a king nyo. But I turned on the field and I can go, Oh my god, I can attack
this anyway I want. Right. It sounds so easy, And I think that's that's only the frustrating part is like you have all this talent and then you couldn't get it going. But then when you got it going, it was like, all right, here we go. Let's see. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Jerry Rice, John Taylor. Uh, Roger Craig, Uh, what's the big tighten? Nice tight end they had? They had a nice tight end. Not but and I'll make it simple for you. I'll make it
simple for you. White Clark, you had beasts. But you know what, one of the greatest head coaches in the world still went to his offensive coordina and said Jerry Roger Craig in the tight end. Now we get to John and we get to this other guy. Great, you have to find out who are your horses, and it's kind of easy when you say I'm giving him twenty million, I'm giving him fifteen, and I'm giving this other guy this. Now, the other guy was Blake Jaron who got hurt. So
that fell on number eighty six. Everybody else, you just get in line and we'll find you when we find you. You don't do that, man. We've wasted a lot of money on Amari, on Zeke and I And that's why I am screaming from the top of my lungs. Why is nobody talking about telling more of being fired when you have an embarrassment of riches? Do you do you know what Sean Payton would have done to have this kind of roster? Yeah? This, you know what Bill Belichick
would have done to have this kind of roster? How much that is? Dak though I meant this last game, that's the question. Cedric's Wilson's targeted ten times. I'm Cede Lamb five. I'm calling plays and I'm telling him we're going to Amari and I'm calling I'm missing it. Unless a Mari is not as good as I think unless Cede Lamb ain't what we saw in training camp, even though we never saw because every day he dominated. I mean every day he took over training camp. Am I wrong?
I'm still no. Every day he took over, he called you, We called you during that day he took over training camp. Where was he playing game? He was playing outside though I'm still standing on that fence. As good as Cdee Lamb is, he's playing out of position. He is not a slot receiver. So put number one, and ain't that all year number? I've been saying it all year long. He's not a slot receiver. He's not a slot receiver.
Yet there is nuances and and and and understanding that you have to have in order to be a true, truly good slot receiver. He's not that. He's an outside guy. He's an explosive guy. He can play some slot, he can play some slot, but he's not a slot receiver. All right, Let's take another call, Chris, who we got? We've got been so long he forgot Herwin in Denver, Irwin? What's up? Man? Home the new home of Dan Quinn, Denver, Colorado. That's right, I hate it up here because we got
the Dan Broncos here. But anyway, but you got we I would think Newton one hundred percent. I think this foley falls on the shoulders of McCarthy. He does not coach these guys. As far as penalties though, how do how does our team lead the league and penalties? That's a coaching issue. And the other thing I want to say, if Zeke was hurt, and he obviously was, because now it comes out you have that PCL tear, why wasn't pollared in the lineup? One hundred percent that's a coaching decision.
And as far as Jesse goes, I'm with you. Also, I think Kelly More needs to go. He reminds me of Chip Kelly. He's just all about the big play. We need to get back to physical run play like Nate Newton when he was on that damn line. I'm gonna come down roll one with you, doll. Wow, there's your cow bite for the day. You know what. I gave up the days, man, But they're welcome. They were fun when it was there. Who illegal? Who we got now? Chris None Colorado in North Carolina? James, what's up? Hey?
I was going guys, good um football is one in the trenches, offensive line, defensive line. It's one thing to be NFC East tough. It's another thing to be playoff football toughte what we all music were gonna do. They took the ball, shoved it right down our throat threat begin of the game, Cowboys get the ball, chance to respond. First play, they run through line. Zeke's on the butt three yards in the backfield. It didn't stop until the fourth quarter. He is, he is, what was that? But no,
he was sorry about that. No, he was. He's right, he's right, he's right, he's right. But still, and that's why I was when they deferred the football. A part of me was like, oh we lost, like a so part of it said it's over. It's over. I couldn't believe it. One the top one the toss, and I was just like, oh, okay, I said it. I said, this game is over. Why in the world would you
not want to come out and set the tone. Do you think that was them trying to say, we think our defense can stop your offense, so we're gonna put it out there. I think that's plus they were trying. You know, dude, the analytics say you should probably yeah, but may watch this team all year. Oh man, you know you know what, man, if why would I want to give the why would I want to give the bully an opportunity to bully verse? Yeah, because you want to bully them on defense, that was the whole But
we don't. That's not our style. I style defensively. This this is why the lea and get sacks. This right, This is why this matchup was so difficult for us, because what we want to do defensively is when we have we might have some smash mouth people on defense, we are not a smash mouth defense. We are a run, get to the quarterback, sack, make you make bad decisions, opportunistic on the back end. That's why you have so
many turnovers in that situation. Our best chance of being the bully was to get the ball and attack them in their weaknesses, which was their secondary and we gave the bully the first punch. Their team and not defensive minded. Their team is we want to run the ball physically, and we feed off that. And we literally just said we're gonna drop our hands on the side, We're gonna prop our chin up like this, and we're gonna allow the bullying to take the first wing. We lost in
the first quarter. That game was lost in the first quarter. We were bullied in the first quarter all the way down the football field, and we never recovered. We said, we were sitting in the stadium, you know, stand back Church. Oh yeah, did the pregame at the stadium. Yeah, So we're sitting up and so we finally get up into the stadium. We're watching the game, and I watched what Jesse is talking about, and Jesse, we must have us thinking the same thing, because I looked over and stand back,
I said, this game over. Dog. Now I'm trying to know when they scored that first. I said, this game over. He said, no, the Cowboys just gotta get their feet wet. I said, by time they drove them off, this game will be And he looked at me. Man, I text my wife, I said, Babe, this game over. How would you do that? How would you We We knew, we knew when they got off the plane. We had to have a retaining wall up in front of our goal line because we didn't want we wanted them not to
be able to run that ball. And we gave him rap they want it. They probably over there the coach follow running down the sideline. They gave us what we want a game over. Yeah, we won the toss. The actually won it, but we want it. Yeah, why would you do that? Don't know, Chris. Let's do one more foo we get out of here. Who we got? Oh, Mike and Newton Iowa? Hold on full Mike, come on, Hey, Okay, here's the thing is hold on, Mike, hold on from getting to Jess. Go ahead on Mike, Jasey. Why can't
we get a guy dank Quinn Leeds? Why can't we see about getting George Edwards an assistant defense a corner and bringing Brack Rob Martin alle that who's often deep as a line coach. They'd be making good combination. Another thing is Jerry George made an interview at Mike Shanahan one time. Mean he let him slip away someone that went to the Super Bowl. Hi, would you let someone slip away like that? Says he has amnesia, and Nate, I'm I'm with you for we need to bring the
Great Wall of out back. Man. That's for you guys. I'll hang up and listen, But man, I tell you, we need to get Mike sadhand back here for an end of you by the bye. It might be tough. I've never heard of that one before. I haven't heard Shanahan was in the running there. I don't know. All I know, my friend is you just can't let somebody. You can't give him that opportunity, man, You just cannot give him that opportunity to come up and hit us in our mouth. Man, m M. Mike was fired up,
wouldn't he? It's good. We should have got him on the first call the ship. Shahan last coaching job twenty thirteen. I don't think he's coming back. Yeah, he's having fun watching his son, Chris. You want to take one more? Now? That's all I got. That's all I got. Yes, that's who's what's the phone ring? And the tous wife? We don't want to go man, we should have got momat screens last show, last regular show of the season. We need to go screenless. Well, how did your mom do? Alright?
Go ahead? Hello, Carler? Who's this? This is Joe from New Jersey. What's up? Joe? You're live on the air, no screen no screening process here, You're the last call of the season of our regular show. Take it away. Awesome? Well, first of all, Jesse, I love loving the hat representing New Jersey always baby not a wait, stand up, miss, big fan of your you're in Miss Janet? Oh yeah, big big fan of her. Sohi, this is Joe um So. I am located ten minutes from the Lovely Giant Stadium
being a Dallas Cowboys fan. It's so hard to support this team this year after year. They think we think that they have that we're finally there, and they suck us in and they bring us back to reality of suffering. Kellen Moore has got to go. How do you not use Collard? I thought Paulard was Injersey Hire game because we didn't see him on the field at all. So can you guys give me some hope? Can you give me some hope for next year? You know what, that's a great way to end this show, Kurt. Let's go
around the horn. Give the fans some hope. Since we destroyed their hopes and dreams Monday and yes and today, give us one bit of hope that they can hold on too to keep I can build around Michael Parsons on that defense. That's a good one. Nate, you gotta find a way to run the football. If we run the football, we'll be back in this position again. Because the East, the NFC East, is not gonna catch up that quick. But if we can get here, man, and get a running game that will not go away and
be persistent, we will be back here again. Jesse, I have no hope. That's that's why they hate you, Jesse, That's why they hate you. I'm thinking about that defense. Um, I'm I'm I'm done believing that next year of the year they just let you down too many days. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. I'll be one of our listeners. Like it's like the old Greek pathology, or the guy rolls the rock up to the top of the hill and then rolls rolls over it. Every year, it's the same.
I hope something, having no hope, Chris, do you have any hope anything for the fan? Always got hope. I'll be bold to coming down there sitting in the same seat all offseasons, so listening to all the shows. I don't I don't think that. Hell, I don't think that helps the fans give them a point of hope. Chris Man, Um you with Jesse, aren't you? Man? I don't see
this whole coaching staff coming back. Is that the hope Chris every year, And I think I think if dan Quinn comes, you're gonna find I mean, you'll find the next defensive genius to come through here. I mean there's guys out there and then they'll be gone in a year. Hey, you know thanks to Parson playing will all right, Kurt Yes, and been a hell of a year. Enjoy what hope enjoyed it? My hope, I'm struggling. I'm struggling to find it.
But I think I think, no, yeah, because I'm so damn wishy washy, But I mean that's this team makes me wish you washing man. My I think my hope is if you hold on to the right guys, that's gonna be the interesting thing. You got all these free agents. If you hold on to the right guys, I think you still have a good nucleus and you I think you're you, You're moving in the right direction with chemistry.
I still like coach McCarthy. I think the stuff that he did off the field and behind the scenes with this group of guys, like I don't want to see him go, want to see him be here for another year. And I think that's that's my hope is he got him moving in the right direction. I think you just gotta fix some things, and I think you can get there. I don't know if next year is the year, but hope so, because I'm tired of saying hopefully next year is the year. So Jesse, hell of a year. Enjoyed it.
We'll be back on Monday. Nate, been a good run man, No cross talk, no Cowboys Hour. This is it will be on Mondays at eleven o'clock going forward once a week. We've enjoyed it. Thanks for going on this. So the hell of a ride this year started back in training camp and it'll start again this train. So I'm good. There you go. I think if they beat everybody except me, I got it exactly right. I'm the only one that nailed it. They played like my rucord fair enough. We
will be back Monday at eleven. Thank y'all for listening. Y'all are the best house, the most best fans out there. Y'all support us like no other show gets support.
