Good and now sports at seven kid Sports anniversary dinners, work meetings, watching
the Dallas Cowboys. We all have to deal with them. They're unwelcome commitments
and there's nothing you can do about them. The best strategy is to simply
lean into them and make the best out of the situation. There might be
one solution. That's where long lasting Colorado Gummies entered the picture. Pop one
of these one and twenty milligram nuggets of fun into your mouth, and these
unwelcome commitments turn into a wild, terrifying ride that lasts for hours. Yeah,
you'll be tempted to call nine to one one because you feel like you
can't breathe and the refrigerator is trying to kill you. But unwelcome commitments,
they now feel like a distant memory. Long lasting Colorado Gummies ride the snake.
That is an incredible tag phrase. Well, sometimes some companies they have
these taglines you see coming, and some don't. Yeah, some of them
have odd websites, right, odd taglines. It was an interesting one.
Well, that's incredible. All we've all got them in our lives, and
there's a way to deal with and welcome commitment that is cowboy football the snake
we know is Kellen Moore. He was trying to bring this thing down.
Yeah, he was from the inside, death from within. That's why you
had to go. He was trying to rop this franchise out and he had
to be extracted. The weirdness thing is like the one thing that cowboys need
right now is like a cool, smart, young offensive mind. You know,
like if you just forgot about the whole kelling More angle and just like
what is it? What did the cowboy offense need that? Maybe a real
innovative, you know, nouveaux offensive brain, that's what they need. I
was really excited to see what Kellen could do when he did not have to
play the political game of giving Zeke ten carries a game. By the way,
Zeke no fifteen yard run yesterday, but a seventy five yard touchdown that
got called back due to a holding. He also had one catch for fifteen
yards. But you're on the razor's edge. You're fighting at all. I'm
gonna get it week by week. Because he didn't look terrible. He looked
alright. He was like I watched some of those Zeke of last year,
which is you know, okay, metrically one of the worst running backs in
football. If it wasn't for the Kellen Moore angle, and I guess this
is being a Monday night game. This is just a kind of a spare
game on the schedule. Really, boy, this one, I think even
without the killing More angle, this is interesting because the Chargers are about his
wills off, as the Cowboys seem to be. They play in a lot
of close games. I like the Chargers and I love Justin Herbert, and
I think that, yeah, there's something there, but I don't know.
This is a random ass Cowboys Chargers game that I feel like we have gotten
built up silly because of Kellen Moore. Well, we circled this one right
when the season came out, after the the Kellen Moore game. If that's
our big item of intrigue, that is an offensive coordinator. It's what you
saying about this game. It's less about him though. That's all anybody's talking
about the story. And we're at the top of this segment talking about,
well, it's less about Kellen Moore, about Mike McCarthy, Kellen being gone.
You're frustrate Cowboys fans. A lot of Cowboys fans wanted Kellen gone.
I think you're a cowboy poison pill that works here. No here, because
you want bad things for the Cowboys, and that's okay, No, I
don't. I want them to win. That's bs. What you're saying is
a lie and its fault. I don't want Danny to tell you to stop
stop laying. It's not a lie because your hatred for McCarthy now weighs any
likeness or God forbid, lovedness of the Cowboys. I love Kellen Moore,
Okay, I thought Kellen Moore did cool things. I think you want bad
things to happen for Mike McCarthy more than you want good things to happen for
the Cowboys. Okay. I don't want bad things to happen for him.
I just want him to be exposed. Right. I wanted to see you
want you want to I want to see growth in a person. I don't
want to see the same old tricks. And he's proven it time and time
and time and time and time again. You're the Mike McCarthy watchdog. You
guys are big fans of the guy who goes after a playoff loss and blames
it on the refs. You guys are big fans of that. I mean,
come on, who will start for Mike McCarthy. And I don't understand,
I'm a big fan of twelve wins seasons. He did that, I
mean, he's half an head coach. What what? What where are we
going to apply blame versus credit? I mean, I'm not saying Mike McCarthy's
great, and he seems to maybe be at the forefront of be exposed certainly
offensively right now. But man, every team in the NFL would like back
to back twelve win seasons and they wouldn't be pissing and moaning about it the
whole time. I mean, look, if you've got people who go put
together good rosters and draft well for you, then you can win a lot
of games in football, no matter who the coach is. I'm just we
know this. Mike your dolphin yesterday ran a play that just fascinated me.
And there is no Mike McDaniel. There is one, and he is one
of one, but he does come from a tree of guys. You know.
Yeah, that play. I don't know if y'all saw this, ony,
Yeah, I know, Mike saw Dames. The tight end is in
motion, runs behind where the running back is Rahim Moster, and then the
quarterback drops back to pass. The running back swing and the titand's already out
there. He flips it off to the running back Rahiem Moster, and the
titan who was in motion is there to block the linebacker who was supposed to
be covering Moster. It was so beautiful. They called orbit motion or whatever,
and I went, where is that ever with this offense? You don't
see it now? I agree? Could they snap out of it? And
it's early in the season. Absolutely, the Cows could drop forty on the
Chargers tonight. Chargers don't have a very good defense. They have two good
pass rushers and if you were listening to the rush in the Passer podcast over
the weekend, I broke it down. Kevio and Vladoff were breaking it down.
Khalil mackets six sacks in his last game. Yeah, six sacks.
Joey Bosa is questionable. He's got a toe. He has one toe.
He's got to build of a toe injury. So we'll see if he plays.
But like care was like, Cowboys did look very uncomfortable against the forty
nine Ers, like a lot of teams do, and it looked felt like
Dak felt like he didn't have time. Cow was just second least sacked team
in football. So you know, there's a lot of teams you're taking a
lot of sacks. The Cowboys aren't one of them. Man, I don't
know, Kevin. Look, I get it, and you've got a long
history with McCarthy, But I don't know if I don't think it's it's unreasonable
to consider that maybe McCarthy has designed this offense and calls plays based on what
his personnel is capable of. Because when I watch the Dolphins and see highlights
of the Dolphins, I see a team of wild ass athletic dudes that are
capable of doing a lot of stuff. And I see this team and I
see a quarterback that is middle of the pack, not mobile. I see
an offensive line that's old, and I don't see a lot of really wild
ass weapons on offense. And when you put those all of those those things
together, I mean, if you don't have the personnel to run those types
of plays, what are you supposed to do? Come back to the Dolphins.
No, I would agree with you there, But jam Lamb is a
wild as athlete. Tony Pollard is a wild ass athlete. Brandy Cooks is
a wild ass athlete technically, and wouldn't you feel like, by now,
if these wild ass athletes were feeling unutilized to their potential, that there would
be more noise anti McCarthy noise coming out of the camp. Well, I
think that's what it looks like, is what CD did last week. I
mean, that's how the noise starts as poudy faces and butt bad body english
and subtle jabs in the media. And I'm not saying I'm right, I'm
just kind of think. I think they feel like they are ferrari, you
know, parked in the garage. Miami a tough comparison because, with the
exception of Cavante Turpin, Miami probably has seven dudes faster than the first fastest
dude on the Cowboys. But talent wise and speed wise, they're on par
with everyone else in the league. I mean, the Chiefs are looking funky
on offense right now. No one say anything about that. Yeah, right,
I mean maybe that is to be talked about. The Chiefs look kind
of bad on offense. The Cowboys they're like twenty five percent of their scoring
has been defensive touchdowns. Yeah, like blowouts against some bad teams. I
think you You brought up a good point, though, and it's the immobility
of Dak is probably affecting his overall production more than we can really quantify.
The fact that he can't seemingly cut out. I mean, I watched Russell
Wilson, of all people who passed for under one hundred yards, decide in
the second half of that game on Thursday night or was it whenever they played,
yeah, to just screw it. I got to run because this is
the only way we can achieve any yards. And he was committed to just
dropping back and cutting out, and he, you know, had some of
their best gains of the game. It has to be a weapon that you
at least respect or acknowledge. Mahomes has that. Josh Allen, of course
has that to even a little. He didn't a little. He almost never
does it because they don't need to because their offense is perfectly built around his
skill set and they have weapons galore. But if you remove that from Dak's
repertoire, which that injury a couple of years ago apparently did, I don't
know. I don't know if McCarthy is protecting Dak with some of this stuff.
I think Dak is paranoid about throwing interceptions, and to see him tonight
is interesting coming off what three picks last game. I think sweet Dak who
I think he battles in his own head a lot. I think he's scared
of throwing interceptions. I think he's so sick of that offseason where everyone's pointing
and yelling that he's the interception leader in the NFL despite missing a handful of
games. I feel like part of Dak is playing a little scared, and
the offense is playing to protect his him against his weaknesses, and that would
sometimes expose his weaknesses. I don't know. I'm frightened at the state of
this offense because of creativity and ability. Yeah, I mean maybe it's a
little bit of okay for the ability though, should be better than it was
last year when you were there was a lot of Noah Brown in the offense.
You know, that's when the ability is like nothing. And that's confusing
to me. And I think it's just what I believe football now. I
did not believe this ten years ago. It's what I believe it is now.
It is your job in the offense to get these guys open. God,
I feel like we're in Week six and I feel like I've heard Cook's
number called like maybe three times, or his name is said on the broadcast.
How was he awesome for Houston last year? He was awesome for a
terrible Houston team who didn't have a quarterback. How was he awesome for them?
And he can't get the ball here? He has nine catches on the
season. Yeah, what did he have last year? Fifty seven total?
Fifty seven and then ninety the year before that, eighty one the year before
that, and he got hurt last year? Right, Yeah, okay,
I mean, but nine catches along of sixteen. The bottom line is Chargers
fifth in the league in yards. The Cowboys are averaging five points fewer per
game than they were. That's got to get fixed. One game can take
that average up real high. Right, And he had a forty point game
the forty nine game. Will your referenced from opening night? Though? That
was a lot of defense. Yeah, you know that Jets wind that was
thirty to ten. I think that was a lot of defense in that one.
So, I mean, I'm not sit here like bitch, WoT the
couch here? One thing I said about m McCarthy really good, Cowboy's ten
and one after a loss, And I've always committed Mike McCarthy for this.
He's a very good I think Mike McCarthy be a freaking excellent college coach,
like building up program, you know, keeping this thing going for many years.
I think he's really good at that. And that's why this works,
I think, And I think if you've got someone, I think will McLay
and his team do a really good job. It's very odd to have a
draft coach that, at least the perception is that he's just sort of the
room guy, kind of puts everyone in a position to excel and succeed as
far as his assistant coaches go, you know. I mean, I'm sorry,
I don't want to do dolphins all the time, but Mike McDaniel is
like, hands on the offense. This is what we're doing. This is
why this will work. I mean, there's just different styles and McCarthy seems
to always have been the kind of room guy, which if you have good
enough assistance, I guess that can work. And it has all those guys
that you talk about coming from that tree. They seem like dudes that are
half the time during the season are probably sleeping in their office because they just
don't have time to drive home and sleep in their own bed because they're too
busy scheming and drawing up stuff and planning ahead and doing analytics. And McCarthy
seems like the guy it's like, all right, I'm gonna knock off for
well, he wasn't until this were some cheese. Remember he said he didn't
want to be the guru back in the day. I mean, like,
I don't know, we mean, we get that audio from June. I've
been saying I'm not the offensive guru. I don't ten years ago. I
mean I had to go back on roly No, but I think he kind
of liked to be in the game, had to control of the offense,
and then he well, fair or unfair. When Aaron Rodgers is your quarterback,
you're not gonna get a lot of credit, fair or unfair, or
if you do get credit, it's always shared and things like this. So
if there's anything he can unlock, he better be ready to unlock it tonight.
So you just a ten year old offense essentially. Yeah, I think
it's matchup based, absolutely, and that's what the NFL was back then.
Let your guy beat that guy. That's how it works anymore. There's not
a cornerback in the league who travels with the number one wide receiver anymore.
Doesn't happen. It's it's all like, it's just the way the league works,
and it's all about scheming up ways to get guys open. Do you
think this this has changed in five or six years? I know. Do
you think that the the NFL offensive mindset has passed him by? And all
of that that stuff about him reinventing himself in his garage for that is just
all bs. Yes, I know. The guy who did the piece is
former Packers beat reporter Tom Pellisero or it to the NFL network, Like I
know for a fact, Mike McCarthy told you during his opening press conference that
he lied to get the job, and all we remember about that is Stevens
laugh on the overmodulated microphone. That's all I remember about it because that happened.
But the he oh, I told Jurror that was more to get the
job. I mean lied, he said he lied. I was like,
Okay, the Mike McCarthy things wait for them. Mike McCarthy has a chance
to shut people like me up. So do it tonight. Just whip it
all out. Show us some cool stuff. Got a bye week next week?
I think they have it. They may not have any cool, don't
that's I think that's That's what I've been trying to say, one element of
cool stuff by now, right, Hey, take Mike McCarthy out of it.
Okay, Kellen Moore's gone. Here's your new play car man X.
His name is X. Okay, all right, man X resume. Okay,
super Bowl ring twenty eleven. But last time he called place twenty seventeen,
you'd go, that's our play call next year. Uh, tell me
more about man. Why tell me about Zya. Tell me about these guys
too, because I kind of want the guy who's been doing it, not
the guy. Now. Granted, it might not be his fault when he
took this job. Who he had been out of the league and been passed
over for the Browns and Jets jobs. By the way, right, he
might have not wanted anything to do with Kellen Moore being involved, and that
was told deal with it. You're a cowboy now and we're giving you this
job. Kellen Moore's your play caller, But Kellen Moore was never as bad
as people said he was. Who's Kellen Moore had to throw to last year?
Noah Brown? Ceedee lamb was it? Noah Brown had to play number
two wide receiver snaps once Gallup went down last year and Gallup never recovered and
then Tony Pollard breaks his leg in the postseason game, he had one weapon.
Do we think Brian Schottenheimer has much of a vote in this stuff because
you say, I wonder, and I bet he does, and I bet
he's way under the radar of blame right now. But he needs technically the
offensive coordinator. And it's not like, you know, McCarthy is utilizing him
a ton But McCarthy, because of the declaration that he's calling the plays now,
just put the spotlight on his own self. What's funny that you bring
that up and shot and hired when he was hired something which almost like I
had to just be reminded, Oh, the Cowboys have an offensive coordinating right
when he was hired. It's like, okay, and it was hired at
a time when it's like we don't want to talk a lot of football other
things going on. Right when he was hired. I immediately went the guy
who was in Seattle and run out of Seattle because he ran the ball too
much and wouldn't let Russ cook. That's what he was known as. So
and here's the thing for I want to run the damn ball. Well,
I want to run the damn ball. Does you nothing if you can't get
ahead in the game last two games, Tony Pollard under twelve carries. What
are we holding back for? He's on a franchise tag wear his ass out.
Give him the ball fifteen to twenty times. I don't care how he
gets it. Give him de f and ball. And I'm not proposed to
run the ball. I think throw it way more than you run. It
makes a lot of sense. Get ahead and then you can catch up on
the running stats. I totally believe that. How does Tony Palward have under
twelve carries a game in his last two games? That doesn't make a lot
of sense to me. Also add bad news cowboys have got the butt flo
going around or something. They've had a little bit of sickness. Chimu Doga
been sick. Jonathan Hankins was sick a couple of days ago. I had
to miss a practice. There's a bit of a bug sinus thing going around,
probably probably some port of COVID, COVID nineteen probably going around, probably
one of those. So you know, that's something to watch. But I
also think, are you gonna predict if somebody butt Barf's mid game? Oh?
Would be good? Oh that's good. Maybe I'll add it. I
got a lot of good ones today though. Good. I need somebody to
pull this out out of the ditch, because I'm not proud of mine.
I might add a butt bar to my predictions. Do it? Then?
Austin Eckler's back for the Chargers, who's one of the best player bakers in
football, likely back. They have been able to run since he's been gone,
but when he is in there, they run the ball well. I
I think anytime you think you know something, you probably don't and it goes
the opposite way. But I'm kind of sticking with I think Cowboys get beat
tonight by about ten points because are they gonna stop the Chargers? If Keenan
Allen happens to not play which has been thrown that it's thrown around, he's
questionable, But I don't he's great too. He's amazing, and that would
mean ef and Quinton Johnson would be the number one because Mike Williams has been
hurt. No, I'm sorry, keenanis will play. Josh Palmer was their
other wide receiver. Who's hurt. Okay, not a big deal, Keenan
Allen's playing, So Stefan Gilmore shut down Keenan Allen. Let's neutralize that.
I'm just scared of the Chargers are coming off two wins and then a bye,
and the Cowboys are coming off getting her head cracked open and beat up
by San Francisco, who everyone loses the week after you play them. Yeah,
well then I'm not like super trend guy when it comes to gambling.
But I don't discount that status being nothing, you know, Oh, it's
definitely something, because they're more physical than anyone you play. Yep, and
that's why their guys get hurt too. McCaffrey and Deebo got hurt yesterday because
they run hard like they play harder. How did I not see that as
being the trap game of the week was freaking forty nine Ers Browns. In
retrospect, it's like, ah, that makes all of the sense. You
should have put all your money on Clee Yeah, poor kickers. Whole family
was there. Yeah, missed the forty yard gambling, Moody family, all
the Moodies, poor guys. But I know I have a little more cowbish
for you at eight Covich charges, and I have more rangers sprinkled throughout the
show. But coming up next. First of all, Danny Bayless has a
live spot that's gonna blow your doors off, and thank you shooting at the
Stage Fair. Also another accident at the State Fair. The Hell's going on
next night? I have won the freak
