Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This is the Players Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: World headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts Barry Church,
Speaker 1: Danny McCrae, Heckma Harrison, and new he Scrugs.
Speaker 3: Plays Lounge.
Speaker 4: Here we are rolling on a Wednesday, and I'm here
Speaker 4: at the SWBC podcast studios of the Star World headquarters
Speaker 4: of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Hec Ma Harrison and Danny McCree.
Speaker 4: I got Barry Church with the day off here gods
Speaker 4: rolling into Buffalo and the best news of all that
Speaker 4: I saw earlier this week as we're talking about forty
Speaker 4: eight degree kick off for the Cowboys in Buffalo, New York.
Speaker 4: And I cannot stress how un unseasonably warm that is.
Speaker 4: And at the beginning of the year when the schedule
Speaker 4: came out, all of us are thinking Buffalo and December.
Speaker 3: Man, yikes, that'll be tough for the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: But the wind will be a challenge. But forty eight degrees, Danny, yeah,
Speaker 4: the gate, that's that's that's good.
Speaker 2: I'm excited.
Speaker 5: If I'm a player and I see forty eight degrees because,
Speaker 5: like you said, I think they think the same way
Speaker 5: we do.
Speaker 2: Some of them were on the team.
Speaker 5: Tyron was on the team and we went down the
Speaker 5: h went up to Chicago and it was negative ten
Speaker 5: degree with win Chield and they blew the doors off
Speaker 5: of us, and not because they were a better team
Speaker 5: than us. I really think that was one case of
Speaker 5: they were prepared and understood what they were getting ready for,
Speaker 5: and we, as the Cowboys, we were.
Speaker 3: Not Josh McCown game.
Speaker 2: I don't know who was quarterback in that game. I
Speaker 2: didn't care. I just wanted to get out of that.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 5: It was that cold, and then the water and stuff
Speaker 5: was still cold because they didn't cut it on ahead
Speaker 5: ahead of time.
Speaker 2: So we couldn't really get that once. Yeah, it was,
Speaker 2: it was, It was. It was bad man.
Speaker 4: It was one of those where I had to go
Speaker 4: out like the early live shot, so I would I
Speaker 4: bought gloves, Okay, bought gloves. Then this ain't working with
Speaker 4: another pair of gloves, double gloved it.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir. It was a call went out like we're
Speaker 5: not going live. We're gonna take.
Speaker 3: You know, six o'clock live. We take that for five.
Speaker 3: We taked it.
Speaker 5: But the people in Chicago or they prepared, like they understand,
Speaker 5: like they know they've been knowing this.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 5: We ain't the same thing with Buffalo, like if you
Speaker 5: don't know, right, And that could be a real advantage
Speaker 5: for the teams up north use it all the time,
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh and even Kansas City when it gets when it
Speaker 5: gets cold there, people are like, man, it's gonna.
Speaker 2: Be gone like that.
Speaker 5: You better, you better make sure you're ready. So I'm
Speaker 5: glad to see forty eight degrees. One thing I did
Speaker 5: not think about when I was visiting colleges.
Speaker 2: What's the cold weather in Manhattan? Cole Weller came in.
Speaker 2: You was like, oh, this is different. This ain't.
Speaker 5: No man. So those I know exactly what you're talking about. Man,
Speaker 5: that don't work. It's a different kind of hawk out there.
Speaker 5: When Buffalo, New York is is seventeen degrees and uh,
Speaker 5: these guys haven't.
Speaker 2: Been playing in that.
Speaker 5: And then the flip side of that, then I was thinking,
Speaker 5: as you look at the season all year, as you
Speaker 5: look at the schedule all year, he thinks, man, they're
Speaker 5: gonna end up going to Buffalo seventeen degrees and then
Speaker 5: double back and go to Miami and it's eighty five
Speaker 5: degrees and the pendulum will been shifting. And when you
Speaker 5: said that about it being forty eight degrees, I started
Speaker 5: looking like El Nino or something's going. It's December in Buffalo.
Speaker 5: You don't have to worry about that part of it.
Speaker 5: I'm sure as a football team you're happy. You're happy
Speaker 5: that you don't have to deal with that.
Speaker 3: Look at this, this is this blessing.
Speaker 5: Right, come for everybody that's going very fat. Chris in
Speaker 5: the back, tell you, Chris Beam is good with that.
Speaker 4: I won't be there. I won't be there early on.
Speaker 4: In here, I get to pick the games I goes to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 5: Oh, you purposely missed that one.
Speaker 2: So I try to do it.
Speaker 3: I jedi at you. I said, hey man, I'll go
Speaker 3: to Miami on Christmas. Oh, oh, you do that so
Speaker 3: you can have Christmas.
Speaker 2: You fell on your swords. You can go to Miami.
Speaker 3: Boy, there's a trick. You got to go to Buffalo.
Speaker 5: That's how they gonna close everything. You ain't gonna be
Speaker 5: doing what you're gonna be in the hotel.
Speaker 2: I ain't nothing gonna be closed.
Speaker 3: Actually, the boss came and told us not to go
Speaker 3: to Miami.
Speaker 2: So you're good. Okay, Hey man, sometimes it works out
Speaker 2: for sometimes it works out for it.
Speaker 3: Work out, Okay, man, it worked out. Okay, So this
Speaker 3: is just good news.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: The wind, the wind is the wind in Buffalo. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's it's a challenge. And when we sent out the
Speaker 4: note and say I'm worried about that kicking streak for
Speaker 4: Brandon Aubrey because and Mike McCarthy were talking about unfamiliar
Speaker 4: opponent when you're going to kick someplace that's different, and
Speaker 4: you played Chicago for a little bit there, you understand
Speaker 4: that same thing with the wind. It is a different
Speaker 4: kind of thing. Robbie Gold for years mastered kicking in Chicago.
Speaker 4: Go Chicago, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, New York is a different kind
Speaker 4: of place. It meant life stating that the wind matters there.
Speaker 4: So that's gonna be another interesting things exactly how the
Speaker 4: wind is that day up in Buffalo for Brandon Aubury.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I played with Robbie Go too, And I
Speaker 5: think the thing with with Chicago was also like the grass,
Speaker 5: like their their grass was a lot different. It was high,
Speaker 5: and you see teams going there and struggle based on
Speaker 5: if it's summertime, well it's right into the fall, you're like, okay,
Speaker 5: guys are slipping around, or they're saying the grass is
Speaker 5: too high. They got to put their thick they long
Speaker 5: cleats on. And then when it gets cold outside, all
Speaker 5: the grass is already gone and now it's just freezing
Speaker 5: in windy. So kickers always have an issue when they
Speaker 5: go into a stadium like Chicago, and Buffalo is no different.
Speaker 5: We went and play Buffalo when I was in Chicago,
Speaker 5: and you know, both of both of us were out
Speaker 5: of the playoffs.
Speaker 2: So it was one of them games like can y'all
Speaker 2: run the clock?
Speaker 5: Like we don't. We don't want to do none of that.
Speaker 5: But it was miserable. And it's the same, but they
Speaker 5: play on turf, so hope it won't be as bad.
Speaker 5: Hopefully that streak can continue going. I'm not as worried.
Speaker 5: It's hard to be worried about a guy who hasn't
Speaker 5: missed the field goal all season. It's hard to be
Speaker 5: worried about him, right y' I don't want the streak
Speaker 5: to be gone, but right now I do have ultimate
Speaker 5: confidence that this dude can make those kicks. And hopefully
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy and his staff will not put him in
Speaker 5: a situation to where you're trying to kick sixty yarders
Speaker 5: out in Buffalo like you did here in Dallas.
Speaker 2: You probably adjusted, yeah.
Speaker 3: Forty five what you got here. That becomes an issue there.
Speaker 4: But that's where pregame Wemos and Christie Scales on the
Speaker 4: Cowboys radio broadcast. Nobody does a better job of going
Speaker 4: out there to watch the kicks pregame and seeing give
Speaker 4: you exactly a measure of what your kicker can do
Speaker 4: than then Christy does.
Speaker 3: She has a great job at that.
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 5: I have absolute faith faith in Brandon Aubrey right now.
Speaker 5: I didn't at the beginning. You think about where you
Speaker 5: came with him from the beginning of the season and
Speaker 5: where you are with him right now.
Speaker 2: He's made you a believer in him. You'll call him
Speaker 2: butter now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, You're call him butter now because you've seen it.
Speaker 5: I mean yes, even last week last Sunday at the game,
Speaker 5: when he when we said we were going for a
Speaker 5: sixty yard field goal. I looked over at my son,
Speaker 5: I said, I can't believe It's why are.
Speaker 2: We doing this? Why are we doing this, so you
Speaker 2: pull a brachet. Listen, I did, I did? Did? He
Speaker 2: said on the radio, Why did he say that? Swear
Speaker 2: to god? I did? List like this, babe, I swear
Speaker 2: to god. I didn't like. I swear to God. I
Speaker 2: didn't know that.
Speaker 5: And I'm telling you, I looked at my son and said,
Speaker 5: why what are we doing? It's sixty yards? And he
Speaker 5: kicked the field goal and Danny he had five more yards. Despair,
Speaker 5: I swell, you know, oh yeah, it's a smart move.
Speaker 2: Good kick. Sixty yards.
Speaker 5: That's crazy for a guy that has If the story
Speaker 5: is true, if the story is true, his girlfriend said
Speaker 5: you could do that. It is and he got up
Speaker 5: and say, you know what, you know what what a story?
Speaker 2: What a story?
Speaker 3: And hey, babe, you can do that.
Speaker 2: You can do that? Really can? Man? That's good.
Speaker 3: Well let's call that coaching. Okay, show up at a
Speaker 3: kicking camp and uh yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah. That's his white upgrade on the ring.
Speaker 5: Then, baby, you know what I'm saying, go ahead, look
Speaker 5: out for it, because I could have been sitting on
Speaker 5: the couch sometime. That's all you need a little push,
Speaker 5: that's how you needush man, that's how he.
Speaker 4: Did so, he was a high school soccer player and
Speaker 4: ended up going to Notre Dame on the play soccer.
Speaker 4: They won the national championship. And then Aubrey was a
Speaker 4: first round pick of Toronto FC. Just didn't have a
Speaker 4: career in the MLS, just just didn't go his way,
Speaker 4: which is interesting since he's going to play Buffalo this
Speaker 4: week run by Toronto and except just when they had
Speaker 4: to try out. And then next thing you know, he's
Speaker 4: kicking for the USFL. And for the second year in
Speaker 4: a row, the Cowboys have taken somebody from the USFL
Speaker 4: who's becoming an integral part of the special teams.
Speaker 3: And if he makes.
Speaker 4: The Pro Bowl, that would be wild to think that
Speaker 4: the Cowboys would in consecutive years take someone from the
Speaker 4: USFL and then make.
Speaker 5: The developmental Yes, everybody in the USFL is like please please,
Speaker 5: because it's just now you really have to go there.
Speaker 5: And I know they scout the talent, but now it's
Speaker 5: it's real of like, hey, we can really go out
Speaker 5: there and find some guy. They found two back to back,
Speaker 5: and now turping is a weapon on offense as well.
Speaker 2: And then Brandon he hasn't missed a field goal all season.
Speaker 5: It is and I've always I've often heard you talk
Speaker 5: about the point marchin in the in the NFL being
Speaker 5: you know, two to three points. And I feel so
Speaker 5: much more confident in those last minute situations with a
Speaker 5: guy like Brandon Aubrey because you could just see him
Speaker 5: being able to get you out of a bad situation.
Speaker 5: If struggling on offense, defense, struggling it's a close game,
Speaker 5: fourth quarter, all you need is sixty yards, That's all
Speaker 5: you need. You're in that situation now where you get
Speaker 5: the ball with a minute and half left and instead
Speaker 5: of trying to score because you worried about hey man,
Speaker 5: it's about here, go make this. We need to make
Speaker 5: sure we still they agree because we're not sure. Now
Speaker 5: you in a situation to where hey, we're gonna play
Speaker 5: keep away from the other squad, and we got that
Speaker 5: type of confidence in our kicker to say, all right,
Speaker 5: three seconds left, we can keep it for three seconds.
Speaker 5: Then we believe that we're going to win this game
Speaker 5: because we have.
Speaker 2: But that's different.
Speaker 4: You go back to that Niner game last year in
Speaker 4: the playoffs and how scared you were to send out
Speaker 4: Bretmyer go. I couldn't even got sport. This is a different
Speaker 4: type of situation if you were in another close game
Speaker 4: and you have Brandon Aubrey out there, and the ability
Speaker 4: for Mike's thinking and just as you said, you play
Speaker 4: calling thinking if we just get three and let's just
Speaker 4: say it's two possessions in this game, where you just
Speaker 4: get two long field goals fifty plus, that's six points
Speaker 4: in a playoff game.
Speaker 3: Six points and that's massive.
Speaker 4: Sixth in the regular season versus six is a big
Speaker 4: old difference here, and going on the road and being
Speaker 4: able to do that that can really make a difference.
Speaker 2: For this team.
Speaker 5: Yesterday raised the question about the playing at home versus
Speaker 5: That's another thing. How good he's been at home with
Speaker 5: field goals, so you know, and then Super Bowl is
Speaker 5: in indoor facility.
Speaker 2: All I'm saying, this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: All I'm saying is if you get home field advantage,
Speaker 5: home field advantage would give you the opportunity to be
Speaker 5: kicking indoors throughout the play. I'm not sure. I don'tkay,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take it this. I know I'm gonna take
Speaker 5: it there now I'm going to pigging it back off.
Speaker 5: What new he's saying to act like I did not
Speaker 5: hear some of those words that you said, two of them,
Speaker 5: just to piggyback off new and say this, Yes, those
Speaker 5: six points can keep you in the game. Like the
Speaker 5: difference between like being able to go down there and
Speaker 5: kick a field goal when you're down fourteen or seventeen
Speaker 5: and get some momentum to where you can't and then
Speaker 5: you have to go for it on four because you
Speaker 5: feel like the only way you can stay in the
Speaker 5: game is get a touchdown because you don't believe in
Speaker 5: your kicker. It is huge getting three points before half
Speaker 5: if you down momentally, just they say, hey, man, just
Speaker 5: get some points. All we needed some points. You have
Speaker 5: an opportunity now to say, thirty seconds left, we made
Speaker 5: it to the forty five yard line.
Speaker 2: We got a shot.
Speaker 4: Nine points in a field, you know, nine points in
Speaker 4: a playoff game from your kicker.
Speaker 2: It's huge.
Speaker 4: And you start looking at how these playoff games go,
Speaker 4: and so I think the young man could be an advantage.
Speaker 3: And and now you've got you know.
Speaker 4: Your your last three games at Buffalo, at Miami, Den Detroit,
Speaker 4: and at Washington. So he's going to have the opportunity
Speaker 4: to kick in three outside venues that are not at
Speaker 4: and t standing, which to me is just that that's
Speaker 4: something else you got to look forward to. Now if
Speaker 4: the Cowboys end up as a wild card you're talking
Speaker 4: about and right now, this is the craziest thing between
Speaker 4: NFC South. You've got Tampa Bay, Atlanta, New Orleans. So
Speaker 4: two of those are indoor facilities that you uh that
Speaker 4: that you be kicking in, and then the other one
Speaker 4: is Tampa and Tampa.
Speaker 3: Tampa and January ain't bad, you can be okay. We
Speaker 3: you know, we were there last year for the playoff game.
Speaker 4: You know we remember going down there last year. It
Speaker 4: was like, okay, from a from a kicking standpoint, you're okay.
Speaker 4: Maharst still made that adventurous.
Speaker 5: But you know, I know we had mentioned it right
Speaker 5: before we got on air about this, the possibility of
Speaker 5: us passing up the forty nine ers Eagles getting the
Speaker 5: first seed, and we were talking about the forty nineer schedule,
Speaker 5: and I really believe that the NFC West is a
Speaker 5: extremely tough place to play no matter what the records are.
Speaker 5: So as I'm looking at San Francisco what they have
Speaker 5: left and they got the Ravens coming up, they got
Speaker 5: the Cardinals. This week they got the Commanders, which okay,
Speaker 5: and then.
Speaker 2: You finish off with the Rams got two good games?
Speaker 2: Who is you got two good games?
Speaker 5: But since Kyler Murray has gotten back, the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 5: have looked totally different.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: They have looked like most of the for the most part,
Speaker 5: a team who can compete and extend drives on offense
Speaker 5: to keep them in the game and the NFC West.
Speaker 5: To me, I don't care what the record is. If
Speaker 5: Gino Smith is playing last week, that same Seattle team
Speaker 5: that came here on Thursday, they have an opportunity to
Speaker 5: make that a really really close game against the San
Speaker 5: Francisco and we've seen weekend and week out. It don't matter.
Speaker 5: We have as the number one squad. They can go
Speaker 5: out there and lose to anybody. So I think, in
Speaker 5: my mind the hope for us to still get that
Speaker 5: number one seed and stay out of the wild horse
Speaker 5: spot if we handle our business, I think it's still there.
Speaker 5: I gotta let me ask you, as a former player,
Speaker 5: do you start the not clock watching, but schedule watching.
Speaker 5: Do you start adding up and looking at it or
Speaker 5: do you say to yourself. We control our own destiny
Speaker 5: if we just went out because you're right, the NFC West,
Speaker 5: anything can basically happen right now. Well, you can say
Speaker 5: that you're not clockwatching our you can say, yeah, we
Speaker 5: gotta focus on ya. Come on, man, You're like, you're
Speaker 5: gonna play your game for three hours and then you're
Speaker 5: gonna go home and you go check and see what
Speaker 5: the rest of the NFL did, especially the people who
Speaker 5: are in your way for possibly getting the number one seed. Now,
Speaker 5: when you playing the game, that's not what you're thinking about.
Speaker 5: But you sitting on the couch, are you after practice,
Speaker 5: and you're trying to figure out, all right, what's next.
Speaker 5: It's hard for you not to think about what's on
Speaker 5: the line when these other teams are playing, because we
Speaker 5: all we all go watch the film that.
Speaker 4: Can tell us he not, but we know Tad brothers
Speaker 4: tell me, hey, Philadelphie's got at Seattle got the Giants,
Speaker 4: then they got Arizona, then they got the Giants again.
Speaker 4: So and look, by the way, all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: this Giants team is not just some more easy dub.
Speaker 4: They're sitting here fighting. They are fighting here. And then
Speaker 4: we talked about Arizona with Kyler Murray. They're fighting you,
Speaker 4: They're not just rolling over and dying here. And uh
Speaker 4: don't don't know if Gino Smith is back this week
Speaker 4: at all for Seattle. But it's not an easy place
Speaker 4: to go win games up in Seattle.
Speaker 3: It's a challenge.
Speaker 5: You saw what the Rams just did with Baltimore. Who
Speaker 5: we look at Baltimore. So you look at the Rams,
Speaker 5: you say, Okay, they're healthy now, Cooper cup poop in
Speaker 5: the cool, they got the running game going, Matthew Stafford healthy.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm looking at the schedule.
Speaker 5: I'm saying there's no easy ride for them to get
Speaker 5: to get that number one seed.
Speaker 3: Sean's got it.
Speaker 4: Sewan does have Kyle's number the last five four five years.
Speaker 4: He's got his number. So so we'll see. But you
Speaker 4: have to control your you know you've got You've got
Speaker 4: to go to Buffalo this week and handle business because
Speaker 4: you o oh, by the way, a point and a
Speaker 4: half to a two point underdog, depending on what odd
Speaker 4: services that you're looking at. Let's take our first break

Speaker 4: of years. And that's kind of how unfortunately those awards work.
Speaker 4: You know, it takes you a couple of years for
Speaker 4: people are recognized. But he's been doing some good stuff
Speaker 4: for a long time here, So so good luck to
Speaker 4: Tank and no, by the way, everybody who's been nominated,
Speaker 4: and Danny mccraid, you know, as a former player, man,
Speaker 4: there's a lot of guys across this league doing a
Speaker 4: lot of good things who just don't always get the
Speaker 4: recognition for it.
Speaker 3: And some guys don't really seek it either.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's and it was kind of unsung heroes sometimes, right,
Speaker 5: because Tank was one of those guys who's been doing
Speaker 5: it for a long time, like you said. But then
Speaker 5: you have guys who who I have much respect for
Speaker 5: at the top of the roster, who are able to
Speaker 5: do that type of stuff. But there are a lot
Speaker 5: of guys at the bottom of the roster who don't
Speaker 5: make as much, don't have as much security in their teams,
Speaker 5: but they no matter what team they're on, how many
Speaker 5: times they get moved from city to city, they still
Speaker 5: find a way to give back. And I think those
Speaker 5: guys deserve to be mentioned as well as some times
Speaker 5: of like hey man, you on the fifty three, you
Speaker 5: don't even know you in a bubble and whatever city
Speaker 5: you go to, you make sure that you find a
Speaker 5: way to make an impact and give back. And those
Speaker 5: guys are the guys I have ultimate respect for as well.
Speaker 4: Ty In Tekey of Arlington. Yeah, he played Washington, played
Speaker 4: for the Cowboy. Everywhere he's gone, He's always trying to
Speaker 4: give back to the Arlington I SD and he's got
Speaker 4: some businesses out there. So I remember his golf tournament
Speaker 4: that he had over at the Cowboys Golf Club and
Speaker 4: Dak Dak, who hadn't at that point in time, Dak
Speaker 4: had not even played with Tyan Teck showed up and
Speaker 4: you know that looked way out there up north and
Speaker 4: came all the way down over the Grapevine for him,
Speaker 4: which just shows you one what kind of guy Tie
Speaker 4: is and two what kind of guy Dak is.
Speaker 3: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 5: Now, every time I hear about these guys doing these
Speaker 5: great championship, you know, champion efforts in the community, it
Speaker 5: warms my heart to hear, like you said, it got
Speaker 5: at the bottom of the roster doing that, especially during
Speaker 5: times like these people don't talk about it enough, like
Speaker 5: some of these charitable networks, that the things that they do,
Speaker 5: the team does. I know from my wife telling me
Speaker 5: about different things that they did yesterday's Salvation Army. This
Speaker 5: is the time everybody needs to get in regardless. I
Speaker 5: know we're talking about Man of the Year and all that,
Speaker 5: but it's a perfect time to say, especially during the holidays,
Speaker 5: a lot of people don't have it. So you know,
Speaker 5: these efforts and people like Tank, people like Tyinge that
Speaker 5: do the greater good, like we need more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, understanding?
Speaker 4: All Right, Cowboys in Buffalo this week for Week fifteen,
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are a point and a half to a
Speaker 4: two point underdog in this game. This is about Josh Allen. Okay,
Speaker 4: the Bills go as far as Josh Allen goes. He's
Speaker 4: got fourteen interceptions. He leads the National Football League in
Speaker 4: that department. How do you limit Josh Allen, especially coming
Speaker 4: off of what we saw Jalen Hurts was able to
Speaker 4: do against the Cowboys last week.
Speaker 5: It's tough because I don't want to sound like I'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm like I'm being rude or offensive to Josh Allen.
Speaker 5: But okay, mind, you just gotta let him play like
Speaker 5: because what Josh Allen has proved is he will give
Speaker 5: you the ball. He will make sure that there's an
Speaker 5: opportunity for you to take the ball away from the
Speaker 5: Buffalo Bills. Right, if you figure out a way to
Speaker 5: stop the run against the Buffalo Bills and you put
Speaker 5: make Josh Allen put everything on his shoulders where he
Speaker 5: has to make all the throws, he has to make
Speaker 5: all the runs. He's proven that he's going to give
Speaker 5: you the ball, right, and what do we do as
Speaker 5: the as a Cowboys defense?
Speaker 2: Take away? Take the ball away? All right?
Speaker 5: So you play the same defense that you've been playing
Speaker 5: against a guy like a Jalen Hurts right where you
Speaker 5: make sure you in your rush lanes where you making
Speaker 5: sure that you don't let the guy extend plays, right,
Speaker 5: that you plaster.
Speaker 2: When he does. But then also you know, hey, man,
Speaker 2: the longer these drives go, the more.
Speaker 5: Chance it is that Josh Allen is gonna find a
Speaker 5: way to give us the football, all right, So play
Speaker 5: your defense, be sound in your rush lanes. When it's
Speaker 5: time to plaster, plaster, make sure that that's that Stephan
Speaker 5: Digg's guy, all right, see Steph on Gilmour, And that's
Speaker 5: the matchup that we want to see out there. But
Speaker 5: I think that's how you how you gotta do it, man,
Speaker 5: Josh Allens is gonna find a way to give it
Speaker 5: to you. Make sure you stop the run against this
Speaker 5: guy and put it all into Josh Allen's answer. But hey,
Speaker 5: you know to pick you know the nickname I got
Speaker 5: for him, he gonna give it to you. He gonna
Speaker 5: sprinkle it on that, he gonna sprinkle it on there.
Speaker 5: And so you said it up. I mean you said
Speaker 5: it all about him in the way it turns the
Speaker 5: ball over. But I think how you stop him as
Speaker 5: you stop him from getting in rhythm rushing, he's a
Speaker 5: big part of the rushing game. He's big man, he's big, strong,
Speaker 5: a six five two forty and he leaning on you
Speaker 5: and he is like with reckless abandon he doesn't care
Speaker 5: about taking the licks in the running game, the tush push.
Speaker 2: He ain't trying to do all of that.
Speaker 5: And so I think that's what makes him so hard
Speaker 5: to defend, is when he's running the game, running the
Speaker 5: ball and he's moving the chains.
Speaker 2: But it's Stephan Diggs.
Speaker 5: When Stephan Diggs is that guy that when he's getting
Speaker 5: off he's having a good game, everybody else kind of
Speaker 5: feeds on that. And so there are other components to
Speaker 5: their offense. And James Cook, I also believe Dalvin Cook's
Speaker 5: little brother. When he's when he's catching the ball, he's
Speaker 5: just as much as the weapon as any other running
Speaker 5: back in the league.
Speaker 2: And so you have to limit that.
Speaker 5: Our linebackers Marquise Bell, our guy from LSU. They're gonna
Speaker 5: have to be on their game this week. I mean
Speaker 5: not only up front, but our safeties are going to
Speaker 5: have to watch for a guy like Josh Allen because,
Speaker 5: like you said, the same thing last week applies this week. Well,
Speaker 5: you know the other issue is now you got to
Speaker 5: go watch film their officer coordinators.
Speaker 2: Who Joe Brady.
Speaker 3: Where was Joe Brady at Carolina?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, Joe Brady.
Speaker 5: Was in bad tone ruge. No no no, because he
Speaker 5: was not good in Carolina. Okay, he lost. He lost
Speaker 5: that really quickly. Okay, chance, I'm gonna pass that up. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna pass that up. And I'm gonna go back
Speaker 5: to LSU where he had this prolific office of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 5: But what you see, since Joe Brady started calling the places,
Speaker 5: they run the ball a little bit more, Buffalo has
Speaker 5: not been a running football team.
Speaker 2: I've seen him be willing to.
Speaker 5: Run the ball a little bit more, which is why
Speaker 5: you see a guy like Cooks all of a sudden
Speaker 5: being a little bit more impactful in the game. So
Speaker 5: you have to stop you, you gotta stop the run.
Speaker 5: That's Josh Allen and that's Cooks as well. And then,
Speaker 5: like I said, just put it. Let the man give
Speaker 5: you an opportunity to go. They gonna give you what
Speaker 5: you said, pick who picked six? We gotta give you
Speaker 5: for another one? Okay, Like who's gonna find a way
Speaker 5: to give it to you, especially if it's a tight game.
Speaker 5: That is almost a guarantee.
Speaker 4: That's been interesting to look over Stephan Dicks's numbers here
Speaker 4: last game against Kansas City four catches twenty four yards,
Speaker 4: played Philadelphia six catches seventy four yards.
Speaker 3: Well know, Philly be giving up to everybody.
Speaker 4: The Jets four catches for twenty seven yards, then Denver
Speaker 4: three catches thirty four yards.
Speaker 2: And then uh defenses right there in November.
Speaker 4: Fifth against the Bengals six catches eighty six yards. So
Speaker 4: you know it's been it's been hit or miss for Steph.
Speaker 4: Fun So as you said, a good defense.
Speaker 5: That's a defense you just name right there. Man, goodness, girls,
Speaker 5: that's that's a gauntlet. But you still got to find
Speaker 5: a way to make the players I should. I still
Speaker 5: feel like him and guys like von Miller, even though
Speaker 5: like say, for instance, von Miller. Von Miller is a
Speaker 5: guy that don't let him, don't let him start. Don't
Speaker 5: he gets one, he's gonna get two. Uh, try and
Speaker 5: stay on. And it's not And you're right, Stephan Dees
Speaker 5: is not having a year that he has had in past,
Speaker 5: but he's still a dangerous receiver. He's still dangerous at home.
Speaker 5: And I am I wanted to be a step fund
Speaker 5: step fund matchup, but I don't think. Hey, it's not
Speaker 5: It's not gonna be easy anywhere around them for those
Speaker 5: wide receivers. Man, they got some, they got a pretty
Speaker 5: good group. Yeah, listen, Seth fun I think I think
Speaker 5: that droun blnt. I think our defensive backs right now,
Speaker 5: looking at their chops and and and and they should
Speaker 5: be just based off of what Josh Allen has done
Speaker 5: in the past.
Speaker 3: So who gets the pick? Josh giving him up?
Speaker 4: Fourteen? Okay, fourteen? I guess I can't remember how many
Speaker 4: in the row it is. But he's been he's he's
Speaker 4: on the street.
Speaker 2: You know what I just saw. I just saw it.
Speaker 2: I just saw Marque's you just saw. I just I
Speaker 2: don't know what happened.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just saw I looked at you and I saw
Speaker 5: Bunky's still coming across the middle underneath coverage getting interception.
Speaker 2: That's what I saw. I don't know I saw last week.
Speaker 2: You know, they come in bunches.
Speaker 5: Who you got, who gets you know what? I think
Speaker 5: Gilly gets him. I think Stephan Gilmore gets him. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean he's an old, savvy veteran. He's a guy
Speaker 5: that can set traps for a guy like Josh Allen,
Speaker 5: and I see him getting them. Because I think that's
Speaker 5: gonna be the matchup.
Speaker 3: Coming back home, coming back to where he was drafted
Speaker 3: to Bill.
Speaker 2: I think that's going to be the match up.
Speaker 3: I'll go with Blad.
Speaker 5: It's been a minute, it haven't been that long now,
Speaker 5: if folks, and they're starting to stay away from but
Speaker 5: I just want to.
Speaker 2: Say even gave Davis. Gave Davis for them.
Speaker 5: Net wide receivers are interesting, you know, because gave David
Speaker 5: six two two ten. He's a big dude. Turn into him.
Speaker 5: What's the Dunton Dunton k? But he's questionable, he's questionable
Speaker 5: and he's not on my fantasy. You know, they always
Speaker 5: find a reason to play when the Cowboys, you know.
Speaker 3: This is true, this is true. The fans show up.
Speaker 4: It's going to be a sellout, guys know, I mean
Speaker 4: here it is the Fox has the game and sending
Speaker 4: the number one team out there.
Speaker 3: I think for that only once.
Speaker 4: This year has have the Cowboys not had a network's
Speaker 4: number one team.
Speaker 5: Do their game. I cannot remember the JITs we had
Speaker 5: jumped the bilma with my god, your own people usually
Speaker 5: my man, my man, my man, my man.
Speaker 3: It was the Arizona game, I believe was it.
Speaker 2: I believe it was Josh started quarterback and all the
Speaker 2: I can understand that. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was either Arizona game or the New England game.
Speaker 3: It was it was.
Speaker 5: I guess we did have a few, yes, probably one
Speaker 5: of those. So how far ahead do they book what
Speaker 5: they upset? When a Rogers got hurt and the name
Speaker 5: sending out one uh crew for the New York Jets game,
Speaker 5: and then you find out, you know, he's not playing,
Speaker 5: then you.
Speaker 4: Still send him out because it's the Cowboys and it's
Speaker 4: the Cowboys home opener, and you just say, New York Dallas,
Speaker 4: you know you're gonna do it out there. I remember
Speaker 4: one year, sorry, but it was one year when the
Speaker 4: Cowboys were down too offensive tackles and they had to
Speaker 4: go face the Jets, and the Jets were bad, and
Speaker 4: CBS had Romo and Nance out there, like, how in
Speaker 4: the world is this the game.
Speaker 2: Of the week. It's the headline still and.
Speaker 4: Next thing you know is another JG special. The Jets
Speaker 4: went out there and won the game. It was like,
Speaker 4: you know what, man, the networks, they.
Speaker 2: Know Romo was calling. I wouldn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was just but they you're going to
Speaker 4: send out your number one crew because the Cowboys get
Speaker 4: you the most ratings that they just do and people
Speaker 4: can talk about No, it should be American teen. Whether
Speaker 4: you like them or hate them, you care. And I
Speaker 4: can't tell you how many times I go on the
Speaker 4: road and I see not just the fans at the game,
Speaker 4: it's the people at the hotels who don't even have tickets,
Speaker 4: who just want to be around. What I saw in Jacksonville's, Man,
Speaker 4: that was some unholy stuff I saw in Jacksonville that hotel.
Speaker 4: It was unholdly well. I was like, I don't know, yeah,
Speaker 4: I know, mostly all ain't going to this game. Got
Speaker 4: boomboxes and the dog on lobby. You know, it's early Wild.
Speaker 2: Show, super Bowl picks too. That's your fans, man.
Speaker 5: But you don't know that, but I wanted I want
Speaker 5: to ask you this, man, you think about that for
Speaker 5: Buffalo all the flashbacks to those Cowboys Super Bowls, that's
Speaker 5: that's gonna play out all week long, for every Buffalo
Speaker 5: Bills fan that's going to see Troy with Michael Irvan
Speaker 5: and Miss Smith.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you mentioned in this word again? What do
Speaker 2: you mean? I'm really time. We're gonna say these two
Speaker 2: words together before we decide. We just gonna just know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. But dog saying talking about.
Speaker 5: But don't act like, come on now, if they have
Speaker 5: to relive it, if they have to relive it.
Speaker 2: Boy, he was looking out. Oh yeah, it is what
Speaker 2: you're talking about.
Speaker 5: Man, You don't think it's no bad memories for Buffalo
Speaker 5: Bills fans.

Speaker 5: But especially during Christmas, especially during Christmas, I mean the
Speaker 5: Christmas tree outside everything it's lit.
Speaker 2: With the tree and the only way we can have.
Speaker 5: Chris be Chris beb this is bad, this bad TV
Speaker 5: radio or whatever. Man shout out, shout off the camps
Speaker 5: to me, Chris Camps. No, but listen, listen, listen about
Speaker 5: about this Josh Allen thing. I know, because I know
Speaker 5: it's not just me.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't want it to get into this because now
Speaker 5: everybody is starting to turn on that. Do we give
Speaker 5: Josh Allen too much criticism for all these turnovers that.
Speaker 2: He gives away? How can you know you.
Speaker 5: Can if you just you consistently lead the league and turnovers,
Speaker 5: how can somebody over criticize you.
Speaker 2: No, it's consistent now for.
Speaker 5: Me, for me, Josh all of the what Josh Alla
Speaker 5: is getting as far as the turnovers, it's warranted to
Speaker 5: think about last year DAK fifteen twelve. Everybody talked about that,
Speaker 5: but nobody talked about Josh Allen. But for me, he missed,
Speaker 5: he missed, he missed, he missed some games. Now it
Speaker 5: still was up there with no. No, No, it's warranted criticism,
Speaker 5: especially with the amount of games that he played in
Speaker 5: the turnovers. But I'm saying, Josh Josh Allen year in
Speaker 5: and year out has missed that same criticism and has
Speaker 5: always been amongst.
Speaker 2: The elite quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: Even right now with the turnovers, nobody's looking at Josh
Speaker 5: Allen and saying, oh man, it's having a horrible year.
Speaker 5: He has what fourteen turnovers right now, fourty to something
Speaker 5: like that, but twenty four touchdowns. Dak leading the league
Speaker 5: in touchdowns six turnovers so far this season. You could
Speaker 5: talk MVP race, you can right now. It's him going
Speaker 5: head to head versus Josh Allen, and the narrative couldn't
Speaker 5: be written any better. The opportunity for Dak couldn't be
Speaker 5: any better because he gets an opportunity to win head
Speaker 5: to head versus a guy that when people compare them,
Speaker 5: they always give Josh Allen the upper hand over Dak,
Speaker 5: and I don't see it.
Speaker 4: I think it's a And last year's perception with Dak
Speaker 4: Prescott leading the league in interceptions.
Speaker 3: Was that this is who he is, this is.
Speaker 4: His career, and what he is is a turnover prone
Speaker 4: quarterback and the Cowboys can't win because of that. That
Speaker 4: was what was pushed out there, and he spent a
Speaker 4: whole off season battling Now, whereas Josh Allen and you
Speaker 4: look at it. For the last four years, nobody has
Speaker 4: led the league in turnovers more than Josh.
Speaker 2: That's who he is is.
Speaker 4: But it is erased and people are giving excuses, Oh,
Speaker 4: you have a run game, you gotta do this, you
Speaker 4: gotta do that.
Speaker 3: And I think that's the.
Speaker 4: Frustration for Cowboy Nation is they say, wait a minute, now,
Speaker 4: how are we going to do this. Let's do this fairly.
Speaker 4: And if you're Dak Prescott, you just have to know
Speaker 4: this comes with the meal. It truly does. It's not
Speaker 4: about fairness. You know that people go say crazy things
Speaker 4: and wild things and perception is this or that. But
Speaker 4: he has the chance now with four games left, Heckman
Speaker 4: to control every narrative between at Buffalo at Miami, I mean,
Speaker 4: two places that are notoriously tough to win at in December.
Speaker 4: Then you get a home game against Detroit, and then
Speaker 4: you finish the season on the road of the Commanders,
Speaker 4: who are basically playing out the stream because that whole
Speaker 4: staff is going to be fired. He's got the opportunity
Speaker 4: to go out here yea and right, and he talked
Speaker 4: about writing his own story.
Speaker 3: He can go ahead and write a heck of an Indian.
Speaker 5: And knew it's not the dark criticism For me, it's
Speaker 5: not just wrong, it ain't right.
Speaker 2: It ain't right.
Speaker 5: It's disrespectful and it has been and you see it changing. Look,
Speaker 5: here's the thing. Dak probably don't care. He don't care
Speaker 5: about the people that are doing the about face. That's
Speaker 5: what I'm uncomfortable with. You can't just be saying Dak
Speaker 5: is trash. He's not this, he's not that, so all
Speaker 5: of a sudden, oh my god, he's MVP like no.
Speaker 2: Is their difference?
Speaker 5: Is there a difference between last year when people were
Speaker 5: saying that Dak missed a certain amount of games was
Speaker 5: a five? How many games he missed and still and
Speaker 5: still led the league and interceptions and saying wow, that's
Speaker 5: bad to now him coming in and say, I know
Speaker 5: it was an issue. I won't throw ten this year though,
Speaker 5: I'm telling you I won't throw ten. And the people
Speaker 5: that were saying, hey man, that don't look good, that
Speaker 5: don't look like the deck that we're used to seeing
Speaker 5: to now this year saying okay, all right, this is
Speaker 5: this is actually a little better, especially since the bye week.
Speaker 2: Don't I don't think it's necessarily a.
Speaker 5: Flip of like, how you this is not everybody like
Speaker 5: not Shady McCoy and those type of guys. I'm talking
Speaker 5: about people who are really being critical and fair about
Speaker 5: what the players are doing on and off the field.
Speaker 5: Last year was an anomaly to me, but he still
Speaker 5: led the league and turnover, so the criticism was there.
Speaker 5: And this year he's an MVP race because he's leading
Speaker 5: the league in touchdowns and doesn't have but he had
Speaker 5: two interceptions over the last five s. Like, I think
Speaker 5: it kind of plays out of them, but I keep what.
Speaker 4: Heck was saying is like, where's that same intensity for
Speaker 4: Josh Allen when this happens there? And I don't know
Speaker 4: if you watched the game on Monday night and dan
Speaker 4: Orlowski could not have been palm palmming more for that
Speaker 4: dude from Kentucky Will Levis. I mean, my gosh, whatever
Speaker 4: mistake he made, it was glossed over, it was was
Speaker 4: met with some love and tenderness, and then he end
Speaker 4: up winning the game and next thing you know, he
Speaker 4: about to put put him on on a level of
Speaker 4: both Carson Wentz.
Speaker 3: We know how he loves some Carson Wentz.
Speaker 4: But that's all my issue is just like the intensity
Speaker 4: level of how this stuff goes.
Speaker 3: It's one thing.
Speaker 4: For these guys and certain others, or as you said
Speaker 4: my radio show, what I was doing back in the day.
Speaker 3: It's interesting on who we choose to condemn and who
Speaker 3: we choose to forget.
Speaker 5: Now, when I think about the little Will Levis thing,
Speaker 5: I'm looking at Dan, I'm looking at Dan, and I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Oh, he's seeing himself.
Speaker 5: He's seeing himself as as like being in that position
Speaker 5: and then getting an opportunity. So he's judging it subconsciously
Speaker 5: or not. He's judging it in a way of saying,
Speaker 5: I feel a little bit stronger about what he's being
Speaker 5: able to do based off what he has in the
Speaker 5: position that he was in at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 5: And I can say to me, I feel the same
Speaker 5: Like when CJ does good, I feel a lot better
Speaker 5: than I feel about when Daker anybody else does good.
Speaker 5: If there's a undraft, the free agent that gets in
Speaker 5: and plays safety or cornerback, and all of a sudden
Speaker 5: he's playing really good on defense, I'm ready to give
Speaker 5: him more props than I'm really to give anybody else,
Speaker 5: just because I know that's position that I came from. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I have a it's a fine line between constructive criticism
Speaker 5: and just hate based off of what you was just
Speaker 5: talking about the guys that you're the debt for every
Speaker 5: dan In Orlowski, Bart Scott, all those guys that just
Speaker 5: play the heel on shows. To say that we going
Speaker 5: to make this very interesting in our assessment of who
Speaker 5: we think Dak Prescott is.
Speaker 2: Oh look, this.
Speaker 5: Guy has been good for a number of years and
Speaker 5: having got the credit. When people talk about top ten,
Speaker 5: top five, whatever, his name is never mentioned.
Speaker 2: They don't talk about him. It's cool, it's cool.
Speaker 5: So right now for the pendulum to swing to people
Speaker 5: saying that he's the MVP, I'm fine with that also.
Speaker 5: But what I'm saying when it comes down to the
Speaker 5: next couple of games, he already started with Jalen Hurts
Speaker 5: and the head to head matchup. Next week he has
Speaker 5: our man Josh Allen next. The week after that he
Speaker 5: has tour a Tongue of Valloa, all right, and then
Speaker 5: after that against the Lions, he gets an opportunity to
Speaker 5: go against a guy that with Carson Wentz, they always
Speaker 5: said that that guy was better than Dak Prescott. Look
Speaker 5: at what he gets to do head and possibly take
Speaker 5: home that hardware for the MVP. Yeah, and he battling
Speaker 5: with Party and you know Perty got the win over
Speaker 5: him already, so and I don't get that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I was talking on boy Chris Bussard yesterday.
Speaker 4: Chris was on TV, you know, pumping up the party there.
Speaker 4: I said, Chris, how can you be MVP of the
Speaker 4: league if you're not the MVP of your own offense?
Speaker 5: That's that's a cold blood that's a cold bloody question.
Speaker 5: And the thing is he's like a victim of his
Speaker 5: own success. Is pretty but look at I mean, he's
Speaker 5: also delivering the mail. Don't make me defend Purtty because
Speaker 5: I don't want to. But all I'm saying is I've
Speaker 5: seen this young man deliver on throws, run that offense
Speaker 5: and be very efficient.
Speaker 2: And I think that's how he.
Speaker 5: Gets against your football team. That's how he gets.
Speaker 4: Not That's not my debate is whether not he's a
Speaker 4: good player. My simple thing is, can you be the
Speaker 4: MVP of the league if you're not the MVP of
Speaker 4: Your's hard to do.
Speaker 5: That's hard because if you play quarterback you can't because
Speaker 5: there you quarterbacks, there.
Speaker 4: You go, because I think all of us would simply
Speaker 4: say if we were on the forty nine ers and
Speaker 4: we were sitting, hey, who's the team MVP?
Speaker 3: We write down Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 4: And to sit up here and say, in a national
Speaker 4: football league where you're supposed to have fifty eight fifty
Speaker 4: writers who vote on the award, come up here and say,
Speaker 4: these are the brightest minds of football, tell me run
Speaker 4: the CMC.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 4: It's the MVP of the forty nine ers, But we're
Speaker 4: gonna give party the MVP the league.
Speaker 3: I just I find that amazing to me.
Speaker 5: That's almost like the hot Look not, it's almost like
Speaker 5: the Heisman.
Speaker 2: It's a quarterback award. It is.
Speaker 5: It's a quarterback award, which you expect to give it
Speaker 5: to the quarterback.
Speaker 3: We're gonna give it Geno trip.
Speaker 2: Not like but true, but you understand it is. That's
Speaker 2: what it is. We're gonna give this award to the quarterback.
Speaker 2: And we're not.
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, man, you have to give a
Speaker 5: cheat of credit for the year, the season that he's having.
Speaker 5: He's doing something that is crazy from a numbers aspect.
Speaker 3: So if you had a vote, would you vote party
Speaker 3: ahead of run CMC on your ballot?
Speaker 2: Never? Never? I mean because I'm watching it.
Speaker 5: I'm watching it and I see it, and I see
Speaker 5: the difference that Christi McCaffrey is.
Speaker 2: What about you? If you had a ballot right now.
Speaker 5: I would not, but I have to see how the
Speaker 5: rest of it plays out, because they still have some games.
Speaker 2: But your team is number one.
Speaker 3: Based on after fourteen weeks.
Speaker 4: If you had a ballot to fit put put down,
Speaker 4: would you put run CMC ahead of Perty No.
Speaker 5: I would put run CMC as the MVP of the
Speaker 5: San Francisco forty nine ers, knowing that the NFL is
Speaker 5: a quarterback league in that that award usually is going
Speaker 5: to go to the quarterback.
Speaker 2: I do understand how they're going to do that.
Speaker 5: You know, to one, give San Francisco somebody with an
Speaker 5: MVP because in CMC not winning it a of Dak Prescott,
Speaker 5: he's not winning it above these other hills.
Speaker 2: Now they're not winning it.
Speaker 5: So if you're gonna if you want to make it
Speaker 5: a competitive race, okay, the number one team in the
Speaker 5: league and he's and he's I don't want to take
Speaker 5: anything away from he's playing well. He played well against US,
Speaker 5: he played well against Philly. He has consistently been able
Speaker 5: to put great games together. I'm talking about four touchdown,
Speaker 5: three hundred yard type games. So his stats aren't just
Speaker 5: they're not nothing.
Speaker 2: The dude. The dude is playing very well.
Speaker 4: They like Magic and Kareem right now. They both have
Speaker 4: a great years, but you know, only one on could
Speaker 4: be the MVP. All right, we'll pick this up tomorrow.
