Week 18 of the 2024 season could be the last time we see Mike McCarthy coaching on the Cowboys' sideline. He joined Shan & RJ to talk about this game, getting his players to milestone numbers like 1000 rushing yards for Rico Dowdle, if he thinks he'll be back next year, and more.

00:00Coach, you know, we've, we, in the media, we've probably asked you and Jerry dozens
00:19of times about Trey, Lance, Trey, Lance, when's Trey Lance going to get a shot? You know,
00:23is that something where that question though, even as a competitor has ever been posed to
00:28you guys by Trey himself, like, Hey, am I going to get a shot to step in this week?
00:33I think not, not, not as a direct, but I think just like anything, you know, actions speak
00:39louder than words. And, and, and when I see in Trey, every single day is he's always prepared.
00:46You know, he prepares as, as if he is, you know, going to get that opportunity and your
00:51whole quarterback room has to prepare that way. And that's, and that's part of why it's
00:55structured the way it is where, you know, everybody has a role in there, you know,
00:59throughout the week of preparation to make sure we're all engaged. Because, you know,
01:03there's, there's a lot that goes into game plan each week. No one has more responsibility
01:08than the quarterback position. And Trey, Trey is always prepared to be ready to go.
01:14What's been different about Trey now versus when you first saw him walk on the field last
01:19year?
01:21Oh, I just think, you know, his fundamentals, I think clearly, you know, everybody teaches
01:28a little, you know, a little different, you know, how the footwork is tied to their perimeter
01:33routes, you know, the command, not the line of scrimmage, you know, the communication
01:37network is different for every offense. So, you know, all those things. So, I mean, he's,
01:43he's improved in every area and that's, you know, that's just a credit to, you know, his
01:47hard work. It's a credit to Scott Tolzain. You know, these men put a lot of extra time,
01:52you know, they're, they're down on the, you know, they're down on the porch center field
01:56here in about 15 minutes, you know, going through a pre-pre practice before work. So,
02:01I mean, there's a tremendous amount of time that's put into playing the quarterback position
02:05and Trey, Trey and actually Will's down there, will be down there also this morning, but
02:10these guys put a lot of extra time in.
