Hi, everybody, and welcome to the Wednesday morning podcast. A couple of things Matt Mosley is going to stop by to discuss Jerry Jones, canceling his radio interview. Jerry is not prone to relinquish the spotlight, so can't. an interview is noteworthy.

And in about 10 minutes, Matt Mosley will stop on by. Speaking of the Cowboys, 46 million viewers watch the Cowboys and the 49ers on Fox. It's one of the most watched divisional round games of all time. When gambling, sports gambling was legalized, I said, my only really concern of it is now the constant belief by degenerates who have to validate their betting losses is, oh, the games are rigged. Folks, if baseball was rigged, the Yankees would end up in every world series. If the NBA was rigged, the Knicks and Lakers wouldn't be a mess for now a decade straight. And if football was rigged, the Dallas Cowboys would not be as inept as they are as a playoff team.

The Cowboys are automatic ratings. Forty-six million viewers. Popular NBA teams in the conference championships, or as they call them in the NBA, the conference finals, get like six million viewers. One-fifth of that. The Cowboys don't win playoff games because the Niners have a better roster. And the reason the Niners have the better roster is because they pay.

the right players. They have a better left tackle. They have deeper wide receivers. They have better linebackers. They have two legitimate corners. They're better at safety. The Cowboys tend to pay too much, pay too early, and pay the wrong people. They paid linebacker Jalen Smith. A year later, they had to get rid of him. They overpaid for a running back, Zeke. They paid Dak more than he's worth. If you start looking at the Cowboys' biggest salaries, Running back, linebacker, that's not what the best teams do. Dallas has some individual star players, but they don't have a single great unit. The Niners have several.

The Eagles have several. The Chiefs have a couple. The Bengals have a few. The Dallas Cowboys are out because they have often paid the wrong positions and players more than they're worth. And next year it's worse. Dalton Schultz, free agent, Zeke, Dack, massive cap hits. Zeke next year will be the number two running back cap hit in the league.

He is not a top 10 running back. Dak will be the number two quarterback cap pit. He's not a top 10 quarterback. Come on, he's not. So the games aren't rigged, and the Cowboys are where they are for a reason. Coach of the year, to me is obvious Brian Dable and New York Giants.

But when I hear other people like Kyle Shanahan and Nick Sariani getting suggested, I'm not bothered by it. But to me, coach of the year is overcoming. And that's what separates a great quarterback from just a guy, the ability to overcome. I've said this now for, you know, several years, and you've heard it before. Every quarterback is good with a run game and protection and a lead. The great ones, Burrough Mahomes, are great trailing. They're great without a run game. They overcome.

Well, that's Brian Daibel. So think about this. Kyle Shanahan has the best roster in football. Yes, he's on his third quarterback. But Garoppolo succeeded with this roster. Brock Pretty is succeeding with this roster. this is a great roster. Nick Sariani has done a great job, but this is a great roster.

In both instances, Kyle Shanahan and Nick Sariani, the general manager deserves a great deal of the credit. Brian Daible is winning with a quarterback who ended up at Duke. That's an academic and basketball powerhouse. Jalen Hertz was recruited by Nick Sabin and Alabama and then went to Oklahoma and Lincoln Riley. He's an elite athlete. Daniel Jones went to an academic power, certainly talented. Brian Daibel got him to the playoffs in a pretty good division with a rebuilding roster and a quarterback who if he was on the open market today, would arguably fetch no offers. Jalen Hertz would get offers. Jalen Hertz would get several offers.

A mobile 2023 quarterback who was in the Heisman race, who puts up big rushing and passing numbers and doesn't turn it over much, Jalen Hertz would fetch a half dozen offers minimum. Daniel Jones, I'm not sure, would fetch a single offer on the market because everybody understands the value of what Dayball did for Josh Allen and Buffalo and Daniel Jones in New York. To me, the coach of the year award is a slam dunk, Brian Daibble, doing more with significantly less of a roster and a quarterback talent. Dove Climan, he is a reporter, NFL reporter. is saying the Packers are now exploring trades for Aaron Rogers to the AFC. Makes sense they don't want to have to face him. I get it. It'd be humiliating to face him in a playoff game.

This way, if you do face him, it's probably in a Super Bowl. I think it's really smart by Green Bay to consider this for a lot of reasons. Number one, Aaron would not get to a Super Bowl in the AFC. It's too crowded. Too many good teams. Number two, this roster is capable in the NFC North of winning without Aaron if Jordan loves a B to a B minus quarterback. Consider the additions needed for Green Bay. So it's a pretty good roster.

They could use an edge rusher, a receiver, and a tight end. And maybe an offensive tackle at some point, though they addressed the offensive line in last draft. If you get an additional one and a two for Aaron Rogers, you can literally, and Green Bay has a history of drafting pretty well and developing exceptionally well. Green Bay in the first two rounds can essentially wrap up their needs in the draft. Yes, Aaron's a dead cap hit, but Jordan Love doesn't cost anything. So it's a wash. I just think it's time. I think when people ask for concessions in any job. If they're an elite performer, I think companies will adjust.

Aaron now is not giving you the offseason commitment. He's not getting you playoff double-use. He's now really expensive and not terribly flexible in terms of his willingness to work with a new offense, new schemes, new players. I just think it's time. I don't even think it's a big, risk. Remember, when they moved off FARV for Aaron Rogers, Farrv was arguably the most beloved player in the NFL along with maybe Peyton Manning. Aaron's not. There are a lot of people in Green Bay that are

over, over Aaron Rogers. I think a lot of people feel like he's held them a little bit hostage last couple of years. Now, Jordan loves not as good as Aaron Rogers, but don't forget, Aaron's first year, he won six games as a starter. So it was bumpy. And also, Farv within a year was winning a lot of games for Minnesota. If you ship Aaron to the AFC, there's not a lot of open divisions now that Jacksonville is a real team. Not a lot of wide open divisions. Where would Aaron go in the AFC if you're fearful of facing him again? He wouldn't be favored in the division with Belichick and Josh Allen. Mahomes' division. He wouldn't be, to me, favored in the Joe Burrow division.

And I don't think he'd be favored, honestly, against Jacksonville. Jacksonville's got to shore up that offensive line. They've got more weapons. They've got a highly capable offensive coach in a league that's pivoted in that direction. So I think moving Aaron to the AFC, and what do you need? Give me a first this year, a second next year, a third the following year. I'm good. Aaron's 38 about to be 39.

He's not playing forever. That's the other thing. If it takes Aaron a year to kind of get up to speed with Vrabel's offense or Robert Salas' offense, Titans Jets, respectively, Aaron's only got about three years left. So it makes a ton of sense to me. I don't think it's a scary proposition. The Vikings are not going 11 and 0 next year in one. score games. The Bears are a wreck offensively. Don't even know if they have the right coach.

And the Lions haven't won the division since 1993. Now's the time. It's really the perfect time. You can still get several top picks for Aaron Rogers. And this roster in Green Bay should have made the playoffs anyway if Aaron would have committed to the offseason and the rookie receivers.

right? Did he not want to defend Dak Prescott? You know, I do think this is uncommon most of the time. He will sort of go into hiding at times right after the season. And he's been known to kind of stay

in hiding. And last year he did something similar and he kind of left Mike McCarthy twisting in the wind. And that allowed him to eventually be able to keep Dan Quinn. I don't think this is the reason this time around for him not showing up for his weekly hit.

And I think Jerry, what he does is he goes on like a geese hunt, and there's a place in Arkansas, and he and the family, they hole up, and he likes to get away and kind of think of the next moves and everything. And he's just not ready to talk about this anymore. He defended Dak after the game. He said McCarthy's fine. So in a sense, I think in his mind, he's already done that. and now he can take some time and get away for a little bit.

And there could be changes because Kellyn Moore's interviewing with the Panthers, despite Steve Smith saying after that last play, why would you ever interview Kellyn Moore, cancel the interview? But Steve Smith is not in charge of that interview process. So, I mean, there's a chance that Jerry could be losing both coordinators. And so you and I always end up talking about McCarthy. this literally could become all about Mike McCarthy. To the point, could Mike McCarthy, could Jerry make a decision to say,

Mike, sink or swim? There's a lot of moving parts here. The one thing I could tell you probably for sure is I don't think Jerry's entertaining the idea of Sean Payton. I think we can probably rule that one out. Yeah, Sean wants control. Bill Parcells did. Jimmy Johnson did.

I've always felt that Jerry likes to be necessary. And he feels more necessary with Mike McCarthy than he would Sean Peyton. Sean Payton Parcells Jimmy don't make you necessary. They're not people that need your business acumen or your drafting acumen. You know, and this is, I think Jerry feels necessary. He saved Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy wasn't getting interviews. He was being blamed for the Aaron Rogers divorce.

Jason Garrett didn't get many interviews. He's on NBC. He felt like he was a son. He was saving him. I think Jerry's had always had that feeling. I think that's why he sometimes overpays for players. He feels an importance in their life journey. Sean Payton doesn't make Jerry feel necessary.

No, and he loves Sean, but Jerry doesn't respect coaches is really the bottom line. he he doesn't pay the kind of money he will pay i mean in in fine money but at the bottom line is the thought of trading draft picks for a head coach makes him laugh like in his mind that would be a baffling thing to do and i i do think you're on to something when jerry likes comfortable hires Wade Phillips, Mike McCarthy, and he just kind of likes people that'll kind of do their thing. Let Jerry be Jerry. And Sean, Sean would be okay managing Jerry because he knows him so well. In fact, Sean would be better at that than Bill.

And Bill really wasn't that bad at it when he was here. Jerry just kind of went away. And that was a weird thing. And I don't think he wants to go back to a place like that. But I do think you're right. think it's a good way to put it, that Jerry does feel, need to feel necessary. But also Jerry fills the knee. And when I say he doesn't respect coaches, well, you saw it. You go back to Jimmy Johnson in his famous statement that I could find 500 coaches with his talent to do what Jimmy

did. It's an infamous statement. But somewhere in the back of his mind, he still kind of thinks like that. And again, that's how you end up with a Mike McCarthy, someone who has championship skins on the wall with winning a world title. So he knew it was a, it was an okay, it was a defensible hire, but it wasn't a knock it out of the park hire. Jimmy Johnson tweeted the final play of the game was dumb. It was ill-advised and poorly constructed. Does Jimmy still hold weight? I mean, that's in Dallas. I mean, when Jimmy says that, what's the reaction? Well, I mean, he still has everybody's ear and we all love to see what he says, but I don't think it really, nothing, you know, really bothers Jerry. Jerry ignores him

to the point of leaving him out of the ring of honor. And so there's just a, you know, there's just usually a large disconnect there. And Jimmy loves getting the sharp stick out and taking it to Jerry. And then he's been doing it for 25 years or whatever, or, you know, 28 years since whenever he left. So, no, I do think people are interested. And, you know, what it did is it's just, it just, it goes into the sort of the lack of credibility.

When you do something like that, it's just, again, it's not the end all. be all. Like, I don't think you fire a head coach off of the last play that had no chance in the first place. It's just, it just looks silly. And it makes you look sort of a Mickey Mouse, you know, when you line up and try to do something like that and get your poor running back, you got it. It was a good, it's a good snap. I think Zeke's got to anchor better. He's got to learn how to anchor better at center. And, but again, what does it remind you of? It, all those old bloopers reels we used to love.

And I don't know, you know, the NFL follies or whatever we called that, that's what that look like. So it kind of eats away at the credibility of Kellyn and Mike, you know, in the whole gang. But I think what they'll do when they say make Dak friendly, they're going to put a new voice in his year. And I think that'll be interesting to see who that ends up be. And it might be, it could be Mike McCarthy.

He would never admit this. But if Kellen Moore got another job, I think deep down, Mike McCarthy would be happy. And he would make a move and try to convince Jerry, let me do this. Dan Quinn's a good coach, certainly done a good job, hiring a defensive coach in this day and age. seven of the last eight coaches left in football were offensive coaches. Sean McDermott was the last defensive coach standing and laid an absolute freaking egg. That was maybe the most ill-conceived offensive game plan with a great quarterback I've

seen in the playoffs in years. It's one thing if Daniel Jones struggles. It's another one. Josh Allen is three and out in his first drive and they have deep balls up the sideline in a snowstorm is not a game plan. It's winging it. It's calling plays. So I think Dan Quinn will be around at least for another year.

You know, they're in a really weird situation where Dalton Schultz contest the market. Tony Pollard contests the market. Zeke is wildly overpaid. I said this in the preamble to you is that, you know, when you look at why the Cowboys are the Cowboys, they've often paid too early or too often for average players. They paid Zeke too early, DAC too much, Jalen Smith too early and too much.

You don't pay linebackers in this day and age. Safety's linebackers. Seattle's finding that out when they have too high-priced safeties. Buffalo's finding it out. Buffalo's offensive lines a disaster, but they've got great linebackers and safeties. is that it's going to be an interesting offseason. If they need another receiver, Dalton Schultz could be gone, Gallup has proven to be a three,

and at times I'm not sure he's that. What do you think personnel-wise, franchise tag-wise, what does the off-season look like? Well, I think it's going to be an old Romo-friendly type deal. You used to hear that terminology, and I think they're going to bring that one back to make this, thing, Dak friendly. This season got away from Dak. He got in a bad way. He says all the right things. He's a great podium guy, as you talked about, but he didn't get it done. And so this offseason will be about putting Dak back together and finding, okay, why did this happen? Why did a guy that was sort of known for managing games and taking care of the ball, all of a

sudden have a huge turnover problem? So a lot of that's going to be about that. Now, when I say DAC friendly, I think that it's going to be, they're going to, they're going to try to bring in more talent around him. Gallup didn't, you know, they didn't work out this season. They had to go to T.Y. Hilton. CD was all they had. Schultz is probably gone. We don't know about Pollard because of the injury. There are people that are going to put in their face right now.

They're already doing it. You know, why did you, you didn't get anything for Amari. You had two stud wide receivers and you didn't get anything for him. You got a fifth round pick for Amari Cooper. So that's what you're going to hear this offseason is how do we make this thing DAC friendly and who can we bring in to build him up and to add more firepower? Because at the end of the season, here's what they're going to do. They're going to look back at these interceptions.

What they're going to tell you this offseason is a lot of it wasn't Dax fault. I don't believe that. I mean, did you see the look in Dax eye after those two picks the other day? Did you see that kind of deer in headlights? Like, I don't know what's happening. I don't know how this happened. But because they pay him so much and because he's their franchise quarterback, it's just like with Tony, they're going to have to, they're going to have to make it not his problem.

It's we didn't do enough to help Dack. we've got to do enough to help Dack get over the hump. And so that's what this whole thing is going to become about. So the Cowboy Twitter account, and this is very rare, took a shot at Dack. Now, I saw a story today that suggested Jerry okayed that. How's that playing in Dallas? What's the rumor in Dallas about that? Because you don't see team Twitter accounts ripping star players.

even after bad games. First of all, the idea that somebody went to Jerry with a headline is ludicrous. Okay, I mean, I've been in newspapers my whole life and websites and all that kind of stuff. That's a joke. Like anybody who says, well, Jerry, Jerry's fine with that. Now, the thing I could defend him on, if you kind of see, it's like a link to a story. The story probably has more nuance, and it's not some kind of attack on DAC, but It just looks strange.

And it is kind of funny that even after all this blowback and people are like, what are the Cowboys doing? They just kind of left it up there. So I don't think, I would say this, though, Dack is kind of going to go away for a while. We won't hear from him. But he was made very aware of it. I assure you that that Dax people and anybody has said, boy, Dak, look how the Cowboys took care of you after the game. by leaving this tweet up there. Now, again, from a journalist standpoint, the tweet, the headline was sort of attached to a story.

And like whoever wrote that story didn't write the headline. Somebody from the Cowboys put that out there. And then suddenly what surprises me, Colin, is that somebody, and I know all the people in charge over there, they're good people. Like somebody just didn't delete it. go, this is causing a firestorm. But maybe we should admire them for saying, you know what? I mean, we make fun of people when they delete something, right? They just left it out there.

And who knows? But the thought of Jerry having any say or are carrying in the least about what the website tweets out is beyond crazy. I kind of feel like the Buffalo Bills and the Dallas Cowboys. boys, this was kind of the spot. Buffalo, because Mahomes is hurt. Josh Allen's big salary kicks in. Buffalo's defense is going to have to probably get rid of a safety, a linebacker.

This was the best of the Buffalo Bills roster. It may not look as Josh Allen's contract kicks in. It may not look this nice. Remember, Kansas City had to get rid of Tyree Kill. Cheverius wore the corner. I mean, once the big money, kicks in, Cowboys had to let go of Amari Cooper. The Titans with Tannale had to get let go of AJ Brown. So I feel like Buffalo, this was the best the roster was going to be. Now it's going to have

to be leaner. And I look at Dallas and I say to myself, okay, they can't get out of this Zeeck thing. They can't get out of this DAC contract. Dalton Schultz is leaving. Tyron Smith is expensive and old. Is there an argument, this is the best of the roster? Well, this was the best year to break through. I don't know. I think they might be able to do some things to help the offense. I don't know. I mean, in a weird sort of way, the injury to Pollard may help them. When Pollard's a great player, how do you, he was going to get huge money on the open market for a running back, obviously. The value for a running back is not what it is at other positions.

But there were people. Yeah, there are people that were going to be very interested in him. Well, on the open market, it might have been even more than that. I mean, he might have got 10 to 12. But now nobody knows what to make of this injury. And this is where Jerry's really good. Jerry can come in and go, Tony. We brought you in here.

You know, we've given you this platform. And Jerry loves to make that argument to players. if you retire a cowboy, you know, you're going to have a job the rest of your life because you were a cowboy and all this kind of stuff. Zeke's probably gone. I mean, are you really going to keep paying Zeke to be a short yardage running back? I mean, there's just really, there's really no great place for him. I mean, there's no great fit.

There's also not a market for Zeke, is there? I don't think so. I mean, they're talking. He's so valuable to them just from Dack loves him, this sort of leadership. I don't really think that transcend. That wouldn't translate to some of these other places. I'm trying to think of where some people that have coached him have gone on to. But no, no.

He's just, I mean, there's no more tread on the tire. Just look at the numbers. He was averaging 2.1 yards per carry. Pollard was their home run hitter. Now, Pollard as our taping, just in the past hour or so, he had the surgery, the fibula, that's going to heal on its own. As I understand it, the ankle, they had to do some surgery on. He's going to be ready by training cap next year. So, but again, we don't know what he's going to look like.

Is he going to have the same burst? Is it going to take him a while to get back up to speed? This is the killer for the Cowboys is you've got a rookie quarterback on the other sideline. in San Francisco, you hold them to 19 points. He's good. I like Brock Purdy, but he didn't. It's not like he was just unbelievable in that game. He made a couple of really good throws,

but you hold them to 19 points, and your huge money quarterback goes out there, the first half, it's just like he's walking in the, I mean, just in the woods or something. Like, hey, man, what's going on here? Oh, man, Santa Clara is nice. And he's just, he's throwing picks.

And he could have thrown two more. I mean, that's just demoralizing to a organization. That's why Trayvon Diggs, J. Ron Curse, Demarcus, DeMarcus Lawrence, you could sort of watch their body language after that game. That's not a, we're all in this together. That body language, even Dan Quinn, he's got to be thinking, we did everything we could, and we were knocking on the door. And the sad things for Cowboys fans and the people who cover them and everything,

we all think it was 9 to 9. Colin, there might have been a moment in your mind where you thought, hmm, maybe the Cowboys win this thing go to the NNNC title game. I would say 80 to 90% of all Cowboys fans of the people who cover them were just sitting there like, okay, how do they lose this game? Now, which direction is it going to? Is it going to be another interception? It's going to be a long drive.

How are they going to lose it? There's nobody that truly felt like they were going to break through. And it was 9 to 9. I mean, it was right there for the taking. So I think you can improve the roster. But the problem is, I don't know if you ever have a better shot. I mean, San Francisco's loaded, but they don't have the right. I mean, they've got a third string quarterback.

Are we all going to sit here and jump? Now, he may go on to win the Super Bowl. And we'll go, all right, Brock Purdy, he's going to be their quarterback in the next five, 10 years. I'm not ready to say that. Well, here's the Cowboys dilemma is both the Niners. They don't pay that quarterback for three more years so they can keep their players. They'll probably move Trey Lance. And the Eagles aren't moving.

They're not moving any of their players because they don't pay Jalen Hertz yet. So Dallas is going to face those two stacked rosters again next year. And my takeaway is Dallas will be less talented next year. Now, if Dallas, you know, they're a playoff team, so they're not going to be a great draft position. And most of your, as NFL GMs have told me for years, you run out of first run players somewhere between the 15th and the 18th pick. So Dallas, if you're at the end of the first round, you know, it's kind of no man's land.

But I do think there's tight ends and wide receivers in the first two picks for Dallas that can absolutely elevate the offense. But the Tony Pollard situation is rough because I think they, you can't let Dolton Schultz walk and not go get a tight end. You can't. And you've got to get an inexpensive tight end. Well, the first and second round have about four. And, you know, tight ends have historically dropped in the draft.

George Kittle was a fifth round pick. So I think Dallas is in a weird spot where they've really got to hit some home runs in the first three picks offensively. They also need a second corner. Now, you can get that in later rounds. Seattle did this year. They got a corner in the fifth and the sixth round starters. but I do feel like this was the year. I mean, Brock Pruty by next year, Matt, he's going to have multiple starts.

This was the chance to get him. And by the way, they did. The defense did get him. Like it's not like they went out there and raced up and down the field. They got 19 points. And the Cowboys go out there and just, you know, and put up 12 points. So you're right. it was this game, this was so getable, and it just kind of makes you think that as it's currently

constructed with this head coach, now, there are people who still think Jerry could make a change head head coach. I mean, he loves to shake things up and make people uncomfortable. So I do think Jerry might enjoy the shakeup of two new coordinators. I don't think he's going to do anything to Mike McCarthy. But it really is, I think he's hold up thinking of a way and thinking of a plan. And he's the ultimate salesman. So he's thinking of a mantra or what can we roll out there. Now, the old Romo friendly, maybe he'll go with the DAC friendly or whatever.

But this will be about the redemption of DAC. this is our guy. He's totally fine. He's a great quarterback and he just had a bad season. And maybe it was, he was rusty after missing the five games. But the thing is, he missed five games. He still threw 17 interceptions. And people say, well, man, not all these things were his fault. That's true. That's true. But there were a lot of pick sixes, three pick sixes since week 15. They've got a quarterback problem. And there's no easy fix. I mean, everybody here wants a new quarterback, new head coach. None of that's happening.

I mean, you can't move off that contract, so all you can do is try to build around him. But you know, you know Jerry. Jerry right now is, he's putting together before he can actually go do some things in free agency, he has to put a marketing plan together. and before he shows up in his comfortable meeting with everybody at the owner's meetings or wherever the next, the combine, wherever he speaks next, because he will sometimes go into hiding for a little while. He's going to come out with a whole new thing. And it's going to be about how close they were. Maybe he can use this pollard injury or something.

But what you're about to see is a circling of the wagons around deck. like you can't even believe. And that's because they have no other alternative. What are they going to do? Rip him. I mean, it's just they're going to put everything in that. You can fire your head coach, but right now you can't do anything about your quarterback.
