Speaker 1 (00:00):
Start with the Dallas Cowoys and their potential balance back
season from twenty twenty four. So when we look at
the Dallas Cowys, guys, let's just be honest. Let's call
a spatas bay, Let's call it a let's basically call
the kettle black or whatever whatever. Insert analogy right there.
The Dallas Cowboys sucked in twenty twenty four. From injuries,
(00:20):
to overplaying their to overpaying their players, to conversations or
confrontations with the head coach. Everything was just shitty in
twenty twenty four. Now, because of the shitty twenty twenty
four and because of the shitty signings and because of
the shitty overpaying, they have very, very loud, very little
cast space to bring in some big name players. Granted,
(00:42):
they usually don't bring in big name players and make
some big offseason moves, but let's just be honest.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
They needed to do that.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Jack Prescott did rework as deal, cd Land did rework
his deal to bring to clear up some crap. And
what they do They sign Turp into a three year,
twenty seventh time one million dollar deal. But guys, the
question is what do the Dallas Cowboys need to do
to rebound in twenty twenty five. How can the Dallas
Cowboys get back on top of the ANNC East in
(01:09):
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
So when we look at their.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Off season, it's it's been a head scratcher, right, selectively aggressive,
all in uh turpin, Right. But the parting of the
ways of of Mike McCarthy away from from the Dallas
Cowboys was good for both parties, right. Mike McCarthy was
starting to get walked all over by Jerry Jones and
the players, and every time he would he would try
(01:37):
to uh discipline those players i e.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Michaeh.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Parsons, Jay Jones like, oh no, no, Mike, let me
handle this. And it was just, it was just, it
was a it was a it was a bad look
for for Mike McCarthy at the end. And it's it's
also better for the Dallas Cowboys to move away from
Mike McCarthy because Mike McCarthy was just a what's the
what's what I'm looking for? He was a Mike s
(02:00):
type of coach. Right, great regular season, but when he
got to the postseason and let me dribble down my
leg a little bit, right, Yes, he does have a
super Bowl ring with Aaron Rodgers. But that's he could
have had a hell of a lot more if he
does have a little bit more balls sack in him.
Let's just be honest. But Brian Schaanenheimer does step in
as head coach. Brian sean sean Heimer was the offensive
(02:21):
coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks in twenty eighteen, when the
Seahawks were the best offense in the league that particular season.
Russell Wilson threw for over four thousand yards, Chris Carson
my dog ran for two and thirty yards, and they
were just clicking on all cylinders. But he was later
fired by the cl Seahawks back in twenty twenty twenty
(02:41):
twenty one when they ultimately lost to the Rams in
the wild card game due to physiological differences aka Brian
Schtenheimer like I like the pass the ball on first
down and Pete Carroll like to run the ball on
first down. That's basically what it come down to. He
was then hired as a consultant to uh Sorry. He
(03:01):
was hired as a defensive coordinator for the uh uh
the uh shoot.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I watched my mind here for sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
He was hired as a Jaguars passing game coordinator before
joining the Before joining the Cowboys in twenty twenty two
as a consultant to Dan Quinn on the defensive side
of the ball. In twenty twenty three, he was promoted
to the offensive coordinator when Kellum Moore left for LA.
So when we look at the Dallas Cowboys guys last season,
they had the seventeenth ranked offense last season, not good
(03:31):
but not bad either. They were eleventh in passing however,
but twenty.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Seventh in rushing.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
They had Miles Standards as saw, She's helped with that
twenty seventh ranked passing game.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Now, they did a fits.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
They did attempt to fix the rushing attack with the
addition of Miles Sanders and Williams from the Denver Broncos.
But let's just be honest, there those are no game
changing potent potential right and now. Per PFF, the the
offensive line of the of the Dallas Cowboys did finish
in the top ten, So obviously the offensive line wasn't
(04:04):
the issue, right and not so fast? The eye test
tells you that the Dallas Coywys offensive line was bad
last season from injuries, from allowing one hundred and fifty
six pressures and thirty sacks. Just last season, it was
a long season if you were a Dallas Cowboys quarterback.
And now with Tyron Smith just retiring, it's just it's
gonna be a long long ways. So what if the
(04:26):
Dallas Cowboys need to do do in twenty twenty five
to rebound. First thing they need to do is they
need a draft offensive line. They need a draft offensive line.
They need to build that offensive line depth back up,
and they need to be the great offensive line that
they have been for the last I don't know, ten, twelve,
thirteen years they've had a dominant offensive line. Second thing
they need to do is shut Micah Parson up. Michaeh
(04:49):
Parsons is quickly becoming a cancer. Micah Parsons is quickly
becoming is becoming an issue between his podcast, between guessing
on other podcas has, between speaking his mind on Twitter,
like Michael Parsons needs to either find a woman find
a man, but either way, they need.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
To shut his ass up.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He is talking out both sides of his mouth right now,
and he's starting to write a check that his body
and his team will not be able to cash. The
third thing they need to do this this offseason is
they need to hire a general manager. Jerry Jones. Great owner,
great per, great per per motor, great everything put in
(05:31):
the eyes on the Dallas Cowboys. But true to be told,
he is a terrible general manager. He's a terrible general
manager and he needs to be fired from general manager
duties asap. Fire that man from general manager and a
lot of things will be a hell of a lot better. So,
guys in the comments below, let me know how do
(05:52):
you think the Dallas Cowboys or what do they need
to do.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
To rebound in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Let's go, my man, the myth legs right there, he says,
as a Steelers fan, I am a Cowboys hater like
pretty much any fan base but the Dallas Cowboys. But
trust me, they have a long long way to go.
They are not back and let's go sports. You are correct.
(06:22):
I've said this countless times this offseason. They needed to
add three players, just three one two, three players and
they could have been a super Bowl caliber team. They
needed to add a number two receiver. They had opportunities.
They could have added DeAndre Hopkins, didn't do it. They
could have added DeVante Adams, didn't do it. Could have
added Stefan Diggs they couldn't do it. Could have added
(06:45):
Amari Cooper, didn't do it. They could have traded for
Tyreek Coop didn't do it right. And then they needed
to add a running game. Yes, they went and got
Miles Sanders, whoof huge signing, and then they got the
Williams kid from Denver big signing. Those aren't the signings
that we want. They needed a receiver, they needed a
(07:07):
running back, and then they needed a second edge rusher.
What they do They did none of those things. If
they would have added those those three positions this offseason,
they could have went.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
All in on the draft and went all in on.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Drafting offensive offensive lineman, drafting young, healthy, skilled offensive lineman
and they would have been back.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
But they didn't do that. They didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
General manager Jerry Jones failed, Stephen Jones failed, Brian Stottenhunter failed.
Everybody in the on the Dallas Cowis head coach up
failed this offseason. I'm just saying, let's go sports says
they need to have an amazing draft and not choke
games at the end. They also need players like dak
to be consistent and the defensive stay healthy, a bit
(07:56):
good of things. Listen, when Dak presc is in there
playing football, he is normally is pretty consistent now with
Kellen Moore, with Mike McCarthy. Right when they would get
behind ten zero, fourteen to zero, twenty one zero, the
(08:18):
running game was lost. It was past past pass, pass,
past past pass.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Let's look at the playoff game versus the Green Bay
Packers two seasons ago. I believe Aaron Jones rushed for
two hundred some odd yards. He had two touchdowns in
the first quarter. All of a sudden, panic happened in Dallas. Panic, panic, panic.
I think they ran the ball five times that whole game.
It was sixty some odd passes for Dak Prescott. That
(08:46):
is not a recipe of winning football games. Let's look
at previously big games, right, what was it twenty twenty
two or twenty twenty one. They had to beat the
Philadelphia Eagles week seventeen to win the division. They damn
near choked that away. Luckily, the Eagles were like, we
don't want to win nothing. We want to play the
(09:08):
Buccaneers in the first round, and we want to get
knocked out. We started eleven and zero we lost the
last seven. You guys re remember remember that season the
Cowboys threw for forty five yards or forty five times
in that time like in that game. That's not winning football.
Coaching has failed deck so many times times again, and
(09:29):
he gets a bad rap for it. Now he does
throw some interceptions causing causing the defense to get put
behind the eight ball. I get it, but you cannot
totally abandoned the run like in the first quarter, especially
for the three Bay Pack, Like, come on, come on,
Old man Rivers says, a jury is still out, Sparky
because Dallas is a monkey humping and a football no balance.
(09:53):
Old Man Rivers says, the Dallas cow just like to
throw the ball past, past, past, past, past, past pass.
And honestly, that's what Brian Schotanenheimer likes to do. Now,
if your team is built a pass, past, past, past,
past the pass, right, you can do that in the
playoffs and the regular season and whatever. Right, But did
you know when Brian Schottenheimer was actually calling the shots
(10:15):
in Seattle, they had three receivers seventy five percent of
the time when they would come out in lineup base formation,
it was three wide receivers seventy five percent of the time.
The Dallas coywis right now, don't have three receivers to
line up out there. Sure you got Turpen and see
(10:35):
the lamb, but beyond that you have nobody. You have nobody.
So maybe Brian Scheimer has to uh figure out his
new philosophy.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Right. He used a two headed running.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Back Marshter that they got in Old Miles Garrett or
Mount Miles Gart, Miles Sanders and uh Williams.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That's that's tough. Let's go with sports says.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I'm not sure how I feel about the head coach
hired by the Dallas Cowboys. I don't think it was
the best hire at all. But it's it's their fault
for waiting too long compared to the other teams to
hire one. You are exactly right, Brian Schottenheimer is set
up to fail now, the Dallas Cowys. We're playing chicken
(11:23):
with Mike McCarthy for hey too long, right, his like
his like his contract inspired like March first or something
like that. And they brought him in to talk to him,
and they blocked him interviewing for the Chicago Bears coaching
job and blocked him for.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Some other coaching job.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It was something in Chargers, maybe as off asive court,
I'm not for sure, but they were blocking him and
they're like, no, we want you as a head coach.
He's like, f you fine, whatever, and then they're like, oh,
let's be front page news and not hire anybody till
like mid March. Yes, they definitely shot them foots shot
themselves in the foot with that, with the whole playing
chick in cock blocking per se. But the reason that
(12:05):
I say, Brian Schottenheimer, except you fail is because no
matter what Jerry Jones does, he will be front page news.
And if the Dallas Cowboys tank, which which I anticipate
them tanking the twenty twenty five NFL season, they want
you bring in Arch Manning. They want you go out
there and get a number one overall pick. Whether it's
(12:27):
arch Manning, whether it's whoever. They want that guy. They
want that notoriety. They want a way to get Jack
Prescott out. And Brian Schotenheimer ultimately is gonna be the
fall guy. If you lose, you're gonna get fired. He's
gonna come and bring in his guy coach, Prime Sugar
or whatever. Right, if you win, yeah, you weren't good enough, buddy.
(12:52):
We didn't make the playoffs where we were only a
nine to eight eighth eighteen.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
That's not good to good good enough.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Coach Prime, Come on over here, baby, he is just
planting the seed for Coach Prime. That is all, that
is all it is.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Drew says.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
One thing to remember, Jerry Jones only hires yes men,
and Drew, you are right and and every time somebody
is not a yes man, Barry Switcher, Jimmy Johnson. Right,
they get the notoriety, they get the glory, get that
the super Bowl wins. Jerry Jones pushes them out, which
(13:33):
old man, remember, is right. Jerry Jones is the problem.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
He is.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Ryal McCoy says, find someone other than Jerry Jones to
make personal decisions. Seems to pay the wrong people. So
Jerry Jones needed to pay Ceedee Lamb needed to pay
Dak Prescott. Right, they definitely paid the right people this offseason. Now,
if you would have done it when the first, when
the situation first of first of first a rose, you
(14:00):
could have saved yourself millions upon million dollars of cast bas.
But they played chicken with like deck all of a sudden,
he he could have got signed for fifty million dollars.
You wait a couple months, all of a sudden, it's
sixty million, right, you could have paid Ceedee Lamb probably thirty.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
JJ got signed, Jamar Chase got signed, and then all
of a sudden, you gotta make Cede Land the highest
paya pay guy like like and like, all of a sudden,
you're paying him.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Forty million dollars. A's like a season.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's just they try to make the moves, but they're
always behind the epe, like like eight ball. Jerry Jones
reminds me of my of my ground, of my grandpa.
He would run his mouth and just keep talking and
talking and like talking, and you already knew the answer,
You already knew the solution, but you had to wait
(14:57):
till his story was over before you get say, okay,
can I go do this? And our passes and the
grass is already five foot tall. It's starting to rain outside.
You can't mow the grass. And all I needed was
was it was a little bit of gas to go
mow the grass. And you kept talking and talking and talking,
tell me story about the good old days and now
we can't mow the grass because it's raining. That's what
(15:18):
Jerry Jones is tray Jerry Jones in Cleveland. That won't happen.
Let's go sport, says I hate Michael Parsons. He's a cocky,
loudmouth and while he's good, he thinks he's too good,
and overall it will bite. He is a bit overrated.
Not by much, but he is a little overrated. Let's
(15:41):
go sports. You are not making a reach, You are
not making a claim that I do not agree with you.
With you at all, I agree everything what you just said.
Michael Parson is an overrated, cocky asshole. That's what it
comes down to. Michael Parsons is a great pass rusher.
He is probably the same, if not third, best pass
(16:01):
rusher in the NFL. I'm not taking that away from
him at all. But the minute he has to stop
the run, the minute he has to set the edge,
the minute he has to play discipline defense, he is
a subpar.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Below average defensive end.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
As simple as that. He's a great edge rusher on
third and long, pin the ears back, go get the quarterback.
But if he has to stop the run, he's shying away.
If he has to set the edge, he's getting pancake
blocked and pushed outside. If he has to play discipline
football and like read his keys and sit there, he
(16:37):
is he is five seconds late. Now I know, in
my old body, in my mind, I have lost a step.
I mean, I'm thirty eight years old, right, I've lost
a step. There is no way that I could play
on his level. There is no way that I could
probably meet him in the hole anymore. There is no
(16:57):
way that I could do the things that he does.
But I know that I'm going to stick my head
in there. I know that I'm going to re read
my keys like I know I'm gonna do all the
fund to fundamentals. Michael Parson is overrated and overcocking. It
seemed just then egotistical asshole. At the end of the day,
it is what it is. Let's go sports. I said
(17:19):
this last season that the Dallas Kyle was needed to
trade Michael Parsons before they got to this point once
Dak Prescott went down, and they're been and they're pretty
much tanking the rest of the rest of the season.
Cooper Rush got a cup wins whatever yea of yeada yea,
Like all of a sudden, they're thinking about playoffs, but
it wasn't really going to happen.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
They should have traded Michael Parsons to the Detroit Lions right,
right then and there. They should have traded Michael Parsons
to the Canca Chiefs right then and there. They should
have got Michael Parsons a herschel Walker type of deal
out of town.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
MICHAEH.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Parsons is not a type of defensive player that you
build your team around. He is a piece that you
add to a solid defense, like the Detroit Lions, like
the Pittsburgh Steelers, like the Cleveland Browns last season before
all their craziness happens, right and the Dallas Cobbies are
trying to build around Michael Parsons there, and they're going
(18:14):
to ultimately fail. They are going to ultimately fail. Drew
says he needs to ride the train and get laid.
He needs to call Bonnie Blue. That's what it comes down.
He needs to call Bonnie Blue. Daniel Barry Sports Hills
and the CHET says, what's up, what's up? What's up,
Daniel Berry? What's up man, what's up?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Big skin?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Let's go sports says, Jerry is the problem. No one
else to blame. You can't blame McCarthy. And when he tried,
and when he was there, and Dak when it's a
game day, he for sucking. But Jerry decides to do
things like Keevin McCarthy for that long. It's his fault.
Mike McCarthy's welcome was long well overdue. It is what
it is. It is what it is and
