00:00How far away do you think the Cowboys are right now, Eric, from becoming contenders again?
00:05Is this a one-off season? Is this multiple off seasons? Like,
00:10how much of a foundation do they have of, you know, in the NFL things can turn around quickly?
00:14They totally can turn around quickly. I think the problem is just what the ceiling is for this team.
00:19When you talk about them being in contention, you're really just talking about them at best
00:22winning a playoff game. I don't think, I can't see a world anytime soon where I can envision
00:28them being a true Final Four kind of team, championship contender, Super Bowl contender.
00:34I don't see that at all. But you can snap your fingers and get back to being double digits and
00:40in the playoffs in relative no time if you make a couple of strong moves in the off season.
00:46That's all it really takes. And why do you not see that? Because
00:49of their cap management combined with DAC? Yeah, yeah. Just the way they go about business.
00:55There's no reason to believe as long as the people that are the decision makers are still
01:01the decision makers that this thing's going anything further than one single playoff win
01:06per season. They don't really, they don't prioritize it. And so until that happens,
01:13then, I mean, and when it comes to the players, the guys that you've paid, the guys that you're
01:18supposed to be building around, those guys also have sucked. And that really, it's like, okay,
01:25I understand when I look down and I see four guys on the defensive line that weren't even here
01:29when we were in Oxnard together. Those guys weren't even on the team. It's like, I can at
01:34least understand how they're going to get pushed around by the best offensive line slash offense
01:38really in the league. But when you're paying DAC and Lamb and Steele and Martin and Diggs,
01:46and they all are on the, basically they're getting posterized, like they're on the wrong
01:54end of highlights left and right. I mean, Diggs doesn't even want to tackle anybody.
01:58Definitely don't want to tackle Montgomery, but he don't want to tackle anybody.
02:02But he also can't cover Jameson Williams. So what are you doing here? I guess I kind of feel like
02:08from 2016 to last year, they were close enough that like one other good player, which is realistic,
02:16you got to hit on one or two other draft picks and the right coach would get them there.
02:21Yes. Yeah. The right coach. Yeah. The right coach. You had to hit all the right notes. And
02:25unfortunately they can't hit that coach note. They haven't proven to do it. Other than Jimmy,
02:31you haven't been able to do it. So I have no reason to believe that the next guy will be that guy.
