  • Is it Super Bowl or bust for the Cowboys this year?

  • I don't think so.

  • I mean, look, they got to make the playoffs first, right?

  • They hadn't done enough to get there, and they have to build some good momentum now internally, from an organizational standpoint, their goals will be Super Bowl being at the top of that list, and that is for every team in the National Football League, I believe.

  • But I would say for them maybe just need to make some progress right now, okay?

  • They need to get on the right page, get the organization moving forward in the right way, and that is making the playoffs and maybe making a run in the playoffs.

  • But they're not Super Bowl ready yet, Marcus.

  • I'm going to try and say this as nicely as I can because you know I love you.

  • But this is why people can't stand the Cowboys and their fans because they haven't been in the Super Bowl in a quarter of a century.

  • They just didn't win the worst division we've ever seen of all time.

  • They will have the same quarterback coming back that they've had before.

  • Only now he's getting paid 10 times as much.

  • And they're legends are saying we're going to be in the Super Bowl this year.

  • Candidly.

  • Markets.

  • It does sound a little ridiculous, doesn't it?

  • Yeah, hell, yeah.

  • It sounds ridiculous.

  • The Cowboys gonna be at the Super Bowl.

  • They're gonna be watching it like me.

  • You, Dwight and Tory.

  • They're gonna be watching people to other teams play in the Super Bowl.

  • Some of the players will be there.

  • The Dallas Cowboys are not making the Super Bowl this year, but I believe they are trending in that direction.

  • And this was a big part of getting start getting that process started.

  • Do I think there will be a better football team next year?

  • Absolutely.

  • Do I feel like they have the personnel defensively to run the scheme Quinn is going to implement?

  • Yes, I think they will be better on that side of the football.

  • But as far as talking about a Super Bowl, I believe there are some things that need to happen over a number of years, maybe two or three years, we might be having this conversation about them being real players.

  • They have tremendous talent.

  • They have guys But this team has to like Dwight said, build that momentum but also build that belief, man.

  • They got to figure it out about who they are, what the identity is going to be moving forward.

  • And the reason why this signing was huge is because you have a guy now that will set that tone, that Prescott will set the tone for what this football team will be, what they will think, like what they'll play like and the culture that's going to be around and surrounding this football team and from the Dallas Cowboy fans perspective.

  • You feel good about that because we've seen his leadership at the forefront, and we've seen how these guys respond to him when he plays.

  • But to get in the Super Bowl or bust talk, that's just dumb.

  • Tori Tori Smith, You told us earlier.

  • You have family members in Virginia have never left the state of Virginia who are cowboy fans.

  • That's just the way this thing tends to go, so we know what their expectations are.

  • But what are yours?

  • What are realistic expectations for the Dallas Cowboys this coming season?

  • Now, with Jack finally under contract, I think they make the playoffs.

  • You know the expectations for this team doesn't change.

  • This is a team that expects to be a contender each and every year, and that just being signed keeps it makes things easier.

  • You know you can build around them and that's your guy.

  • But this is a team that does have the talent on the offensive side of the ball.

  • But there are three phases of this game.

  • You have to be able to play defense, and they just weren't good last year.

  • There's really no way to sugarcoat it, and they have to fix those holes.

  • But this is a team that can contend in the division.

  • Right now, that isn't as dominant that can be had, and it's very balanced across the board, so my expectation for them would be to make it to the playoffs.

  • But when you get there, anything goes.

  • But I do not see them in the Super Bowl.

  • You expect them to win the division next year.

  • Markets over the Washington football team that has a legitimately great defense and of course we don't know who their quarterback is going to be.

  • They won the division at seven and nine last year.

  • Do you expect the Cowboys to win the division next season?

  • Absolutely.

  • I expect them to win it, and I expect that Prescott to be the difference.

  • Now.

  • It could change the O.

  • G.

  • Based on what?

  • The Washington football team, uh, does that quarterback.

  • But I believe that Prescott in the Dallas Cowboys, especially with the offensive line that will be healthier than they were last year, they should be considered the favorites in the NFC East.

  • They are.

  • And I ain't saying much, though.

  • AN odds on favorite in Vegas Tory, why are you shaking your head?

  • Washington is the best team in that division right now, and that's with or without.

  • They don't shoot back.

  • Listen, Taylor, listen, let me tell you something.

  • Let me tell you something that you may not know.

  • Uh, who you had I need to learn about the playoffs.

  • Knows this offense.

  • You're talking about a team last year that won the division without their offense operating at the high at the high level or the way that Scott Turner designed it to be.

  • That element was missing.

  • There was no vertical attack.

  • It was missing.

  • You get a guy in, even if it's Taylor Hannity.

  • With that defense and what Rama very was able to do in one year, you have to believe that they're the favorite.

  • Dallas is always a favorite just because of Dallas, but we all know what happens.

  • Y'all always fold when it comes to, but Washington is the real deal on the defensive side of the ball.

  • Marcus, you don't be one of them.

  • We go.

  • There's nothing.

  • There's nothing about the damn division telling story to watching the football team.

  • They don't even know that quarterback is.

  • And don't tell me about no Taylor.

  • Hannah Key.

  • Okay, I've said this for years.

  • Quarterbacks play great when you play them, and you don't have a plan for them.

  • They it always works that way.

  • Remember, Jalen hurts against the New Orleans Saints.

  • Remember that?

  • Remember Jalen when he started for the Eagles and we all went crazy.

  • And then the following games, they proceeded to lose because the book becomes out now.

  • You got to overcome that.

  • Don't tell me about no hanky.

  • We know Dak Prescott, the best quarterback in this division.

  • We know this defense is gonna be better based on scheme, and we know offensively, the Dallas Cowboys had the most talent in the division.

  • Don't be telling me they're watching the football team, and we don't know that quarterback is this man Dan.

  • Hi, Nicky.

  • Hasn't Dallas had the most talent for the last 100 years?

  • They haven't been good since.

  • We have flat screen TVs.

  • At some point, all that potential only goes somewhere.

  • You have to go out that good and done, and the Washington football team is building something special right now.

  • Can I just say one thing?

  • And Dwight, I will let you break this tie here.

  • The Washington football team won the division last year.

  • Marcus and they were dead.

  • Last in QB are their quarterback play?

  • Can't get worse because it was the worst in the in the entire league last year and they won the division.

  • Dwight break the tie.

  • Who wins the division next year?

  • Dwight Freeney.

  • Go Well, listen, I'm going to say who should win the division and who should win?

  • The division is Dallas.

  • They have no talent Now.

  • I don't know if they're finally, but they should win.
