00:00Joe believes that the time has come for the torch to be passed in Dallas. Let's talk Rico

00:09Dowdell.

00:10Yeah, look, I think we're just being patient here with this Ezekiel Elliot thing is just

00:16not the way to go. The NFL teaches one thing is when you get old and slow, the game literally

00:22passes you by and Rico Dowdell has been working in the passing game and Rico Dowdell looks

00:25like the far more explosive running back at this point in their career. And the Cowboys

00:30don't have time for games. I don't care about the history of Zeke in the organization and

00:36Mike McCarthy better not either because his job is hanging on by a thread. Last two times

00:42we saw Mike McCarthy in that building. He has doors blown off last week by the New Orleans

00:47Saints and then embarrassed in the playoffs by the youngest team in the NFL, the Green

00:52Bay Packers.

00:53And I mean, absolutely embarrassed. So Mike McCarthy right now needs to start winning

00:57football games. And this is a really tough situation here against a very good Ravens

01:01team that is out for blood. Rico Dowdell needs to be carrying the football. The fact that

01:05he's only 50% rostered is insane. It's only a matter of time. And if it's not the performance

01:10of Zeke age catches up with us in other ways, Matt, I'll tell you all those old guys, we

01:15get up in the morning and things hurt and we don't even know why. So him staying healthy

01:19for a whole season is also not a good bet. So rather bet on Rico Dowdell. Again, let's

01:23practice some patience. By the time we get to mid October, it should be Rico Dowdell's

01:27backfield, but don't be surprised if it doesn't start to look more like that today.
