00:00We know what the things are for Mike McCarthy and this Cowboys team.
00:19It's a team that won 12 games in the last three seasons and yet somehow
00:24managed to be disappointing in the postseason every year and Mike
00:27McCarthy I think a lot of people looking at last year we're looking at
00:31the postseason saying it's it's NFC championship game or bust for him and
00:35yet here we are on July 18th of the of this season or this year rather looking
00:41at and he is he remains the head coach of this team and you're going into this
00:46without any level of extension of contract this is final season so there's
00:50a lot of things to look at when it comes to this Cowboys team what Mike to you is
00:55the biggest challenge and for you Tolos 877-881-1053 what do you think is the
00:59biggest challenge for Mike McCarthy as he goes into this final year of his
01:04contract well for him he only deals with the offense so there's no reason for me
01:08if the specific question is about Mike McCarthy there's no reason for me to
01:12concentrate at all on defense interesting he has nothing to do with
01:14okay that is Mike Zimmer's team his team is the offensive team so I would look at
01:21it and say how does he take a offensive line that I'm not sure about to be
01:28honest I think it's average but I get it we did it a week ago that they're rated
01:33above average and that's me I don't know all 30 I don't know if any human knows
01:38all 32 offensive lines unless you have a job in the NFL sure so okay they're above
01:44average according to paper stats that's great and I get because of Tyler Smith
01:50and Zach Martin you have the best guard combination in football that is awesome
01:53center and tackles huge question marks for me for this year and literally both
01:58tackles because of the poor play that you saw from Terrence Steele off of the
02:02injury so I'm looking at the worst running back situation in the history of
02:07Dallas Cowboys football I guess you can go back to like the expansion year and
02:11say that might have been worse this is horrible what they're gonna run out
02:16there at running back I look at and go how can he have a successful offense
02:22with that running back situation if he's able to do that that's the number one
02:28thing for me if he is able to have the worst running back situation in the NFL
02:34and he's still able to put up I'm sorry I'm forgetting how much they average
02:38last year approximately 27 points a game or close to because I don't think you
02:42have an awesome defense I think you have a good defense but if you can
02:47figure out how to get that thing into the high 20s again with that running
02:52back situation and the offensive line a little bit of an unknown coming into the
02:58year that would be tremendous if you are still considered a good offensive team I
03:04don't think they'll be bad because I think Dax good Dax a we just saw top 10
03:08quarterback approximately 10th and that's according to people in
