00:03 We don't have any weather conditions to worry about, but

00:05 this is a big one between the Packers and the Cowboys.

00:08 If I want to say from an angle of the Dallas Cowboys, talk to me on this.

00:11 Any rumblings of if the Dallas Cowboys lose in this football game,

00:15 forget about Dak Prescott, we're centered on Mike McCarthy.

00:18 Is there a chance, Adam, he could actually be out today with a loss?

00:21 >> Yeah, I won't rule it out.

00:22 Here's why, Donnie.

00:24 Jerry Jones, their owner/general manager, kind of put it out there in quotes.

00:28 I'm paraphrasing, cuz basically what he said was that they would go game by

00:33 game with this in terms of evaluation.

00:35 Now, everyone can interpret it any way that they want.

00:39 Now, Jerry Jones is incredibly patient with Jason Garrett and

00:42 Garrett's coaching staff over the years.

00:44 Every year people would say he's gonna get fired and he wasn't.

00:46 I don't rule that out.

00:48 If you ask that question, my response is going to be I don't rule it out.

00:53 Because of the way Jerry Jones is, and we know he's in his late 70s,

00:56 he's looking to get another ring.

00:58 Brian Schottenheimer, by the way, has been phenomenal.

01:01 Probably one of the most underrated coaching promotions with Brian

01:06 Schottenheimer, who was with them last year,

01:08 sort of a senior offensive assistant, now is their offensive coordinator.

01:11 Yes, McCarthy calls the plays, Donnie, but Schottenheimer is very forward thinking.

01:15 They're very aggressive throwing the football, particularly in the first half.

01:18 This is what Schottenheimer did in 20 and

01:21 21 when he was with Russell Wilson before Pete Carroll.

01:24 And Schottenheimer had a philosophical difference, if you will,

01:28 because Schottenheimer is very aggressive throwing the football and Pete was not.

01:31 But getting back to this situation, their offense has been unstoppable.

01:35 When you look at this game today, and I know that the line dropped from seven and

01:37 a half to seven, the problem is not the Packers offense.

01:40 Jordan Love, who I'll be voting for in two polls,

01:42 is my most approved quarterback this season.

01:44 Best quarterback in the second half, 18 touchdowns.

01:47 The only problem is their defense.

01:49 Their defense has mostly been awful this season.

01:51 Their zone defense, guys, gives a ton of room up.

01:54 For a guy you were talking about before I got on here, and CD Lamb,

01:57 he should absolutely clean up.

01:58 And then there's the issue of Jair Alexander, who has this new ankle injury.

02:01 He's their best corner, and Alexander's not played well this season.

02:04 We know about that crazy one game suspension.
