Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the player's
Speaker 1: line broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 1: No your hosts Barry Church, Danny mccraig, and knew he scrugs, alright,
Speaker 1: it is high time. Here on a Tuesday, the three
Speaker 1: Amigo negroes back together. At least two of us, decided
Speaker 1: to come in studio work together. I wanted to be
Speaker 1: a good teammate and get here for Danny today. M
Speaker 1: Barry Church to hang on out at home and not
Speaker 1: tell nobody. When when did you get in? The warning
Speaker 1: from Church he was I didn't. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I still I think he's gonna walk in now. Oh
Speaker 1: no that Oh I see you, Oh Barry you at home? Bro?
Speaker 1: Oh hey there he is. Oh. So that's so. That's
Speaker 1: what we're doing today. That's all. That's how we're gonna
Speaker 1: start this show. All I'm saying is all I'm saying
Speaker 1: is I came in last week and y'all gave me
Speaker 1: a hard time talking about vacation and all that. And
Speaker 1: now everybody knows that I wasn't on vacation. I was
Speaker 1: trying to win some money and what are you doing
Speaker 1: at home? See see what happens new? You know, people
Speaker 1: get on CBS, they start, you know, they get on
Speaker 1: these shows, man, and they come back a new person.
Speaker 1: They come back a new person calling people out on
Speaker 1: the show. It's hard because I had his backphone money
Speaker 1: on the side. Like I always say, I mean that
Speaker 1: was you know, And I had come up with that
Speaker 1: creative term because we had a couple of folks who
Speaker 1: would ask where's Danny, And you didn't tell me what
Speaker 1: was going on? And I just merely called it assignment
Speaker 1: because that's what's where we're using the TV business. So
Speaker 1: we now know those times Danny missed he was on
Speaker 1: the TV show Survivor, which will premiere September twenty second.
Speaker 1: Correct on the twenty second, on the twenty second, that
Speaker 1: was my sign. I went out there and did what
Speaker 1: I could do it to be exciting to watch. Okay,
Speaker 1: So um, look, Barry, we can't ask him. We can't
Speaker 1: ask him any details about the show, so so we won't.
Speaker 1: We have to respect that privacy of his agreement to
Speaker 1: work with CBS. But I will ask you this one
Speaker 1: simple thing which you can't answer because I have been
Speaker 1: a part of the reality TV show during my time
Speaker 1: in La Towns of change. No no, no no no, this
Speaker 1: one asked, reality has not changed. It's a serious question.
Speaker 1: Are you the crazy negro on the show? Because all
Speaker 1: all reality shows are gonna find one. They're gonna get there.
Speaker 1: We're going we can hate the producer like got we
Speaker 1: gotta find the crazy black guy? Who's that guy? Who's
Speaker 1: the crazy black The editing process got the editing process?
Speaker 1: Remember how they got t o they got hold? He
Speaker 1: was the crazy he was the crazy guy that man quit.
Speaker 1: I said, they free show. They're gonna find a crazy
Speaker 1: black Teo wasn't hard to find. But I'm just saying
Speaker 1: that you can answer that. Let me tell you something
Speaker 1: I have. I got no comment on that one, but see,
Speaker 1: let me tell you the type of guy new he is. Okay.
Speaker 1: As soon as he finds out he sees it on Twitter, right,
Speaker 1: he says, what did you win? I'm like, come on, bro,

Speaker 1: knew it. You are going to have to be there.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you, but I ain't gonna tell you this.
Speaker 1: You are going to look at me in a whole
Speaker 1: different way and say, damn that Danny was craz What

Speaker 1: you know you see some good stuff. So Players Latch
Speaker 1: brought to you by hotels dot Com. Make sure you
Speaker 1: were tuning in on September twenty second. Uh, thirteen shows.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many. I'm not sure, but at
Speaker 1: least it usually is somewhere around thirteen and fifteen. Season's
Speaker 1: gonna be at least twelve seasons, at least twelve, so
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna go a long way. Honestly, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you, I've never watched a full show of Survivors,
Speaker 1: so this will be my first time diving into it here,
Speaker 1: So it was gonna be It's gonna be good man,
Speaker 1: I guess excited to see it. Um. So cuts are
Speaker 1: today across the league. Cam Newton has been cut by
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, so Alabama Mac Jones has won
Speaker 1: that job. And initially, let's get right now. You just
Speaker 1: check Twitter, people like who camp to the Cowboys camp
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys just have some of my boss over channel.
Speaker 1: But when of my manager Champ, I say, hey what
Speaker 1: I can to the Cowboys and you and I talked
Speaker 1: about it and then I've forgotten And on the way Dan,
Speaker 1: I remembered Cam's not vaccinated. Well that there's a twofold
Speaker 1: problem here. Number one, we know that the Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame owner in general manager Gerald Jones believes in vaccinations. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: We also know what happens and just in case in
Speaker 1: Minnesota with if you know, if you're if somebody gets
Speaker 1: contract contract tracing and then you're involved, you have to
Speaker 1: sit out longer. It's a it's an issue. It's an issue.
Speaker 1: So can you bring in Dak Prescott, Dak Prescott's backup
Speaker 1: who's not vaccinated the quarterback position here? Is that something
Speaker 1: you want to do? And also you know it takes
Speaker 1: longer when you're trying to get guys on your team
Speaker 1: that our vacks as you go through all the different nagues.
Speaker 1: So this this the thought process of Cam to the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: Cam backing up um Dak Prescott versus Cooper Rush. You
Speaker 1: can get excited about it, but there's another layer here
Speaker 1: that you got to dive into. So now knowing that,
Speaker 1: Barry Church, you still want Cam. I'm still here, baby,
Speaker 1: I'm still here. Do you want Do you want Cam?
Speaker 1: Do you want Cam? Since they cut your boards? Oh
Speaker 1: cana Hellna, Like we're getting into this to the COVID discussion. One,
Speaker 1: he ain't going because of the vaccination, Like that's he's
Speaker 1: too close in that quarterback room to Dak Prescott and
Speaker 1: if he gets a close contact or something like that
Speaker 1: during a regular season, and now him and Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: both gotta sit out for a game, and we're stuck
Speaker 1: with Cooper Rush. And we'll get into the double G
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush situation later, but we're stuck with Cooper Rush.
Speaker 1: All Hell's gonna break loose. So that's the one. That's
Speaker 1: the number one reason, Like you said to me, the
Speaker 1: COVID he's not vaccinated, so he won't be here. Number two,
Speaker 1: I don't want my backup quarterback getting that much line
Speaker 1: like he like it's gonna be a circus coming into
Speaker 1: town with Cam Newton. We all know this, Like if
Speaker 1: and if d for some crazy reason, let's just say
Speaker 1: he struggles a little bit out the gate, Lord, Rusty
Speaker 1: out the gate, you're gonna have those fans in the
Speaker 1: background chirping, oh man, we should get Cam in there.
Speaker 1: We should get Cam in there. And I just don't
Speaker 1: necessarily need all that for this team. Dak Prescott's an
Speaker 1: unquestioned leader and he needs to be such. He doesn't
Speaker 1: need that whole circus backing him up in what Cam
Speaker 1: Newton brings. Is he a solid player overall? Yes, Cam
Speaker 1: Newton is a solid player, but we don't need him
Speaker 1: on his Dallas Cowboys roster. Yeah. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: I think that famous quota is the best ability is availability,
Speaker 1: all right, And there's questions with Cam's availability if he
Speaker 1: comes on this team, specifically because of the vaccine questions
Speaker 1: that we have around them, So I think that's a
Speaker 1: big issue. I will say that any fan that watches
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott struggle in the first couple of games and
Speaker 1: calls for him to be benched for Cam Newton is
Speaker 1: drunk and they should not be watching any football. They
Speaker 1: should go watch another sport because that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: So I don't think you'll see that issue if Cam
Speaker 1: is here from any real fans. Of course, that noise
Speaker 1: will come, but I don't think he'll be as big
Speaker 1: of a distraction as as as Church may think. But
Speaker 1: it's possible, but I don't. I don't think Cam Newton
Speaker 1: to be here on the Dallas Cowboys roster anytime soon. Okay,
Speaker 1: So now let's let's let's continue this conversation with branching
Speaker 1: into the Cowboys or cutter today. Numerous reports out already
Speaker 1: that Ben de Nucci has been cut from Jeremy Fowler
Speaker 1: of ESPN. Todd Archerds put out that that Garrett Gilbert
Speaker 1: aka Double G, has been cut. Now, double man, if
Speaker 1: you listen to the players lounge, Danny McCrae and I
Speaker 1: had Double G cut along time ago. You had Church
Speaker 1: being a hole out, still holding onto this this Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: game that he played and it didn't work. Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones went on, want to fight through the fan.
Speaker 1: He said, Cooper rush Is consistency and familiarity with the
Speaker 1: offense led to the Cowboys keeping him over Garrett Gilbert
Speaker 1: and Ben the Nucci. So your boy Double G gunn
Speaker 1: like we said he was gonna be okay Church, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not okay with this. I'm not okay with this. Look, man,
Speaker 1: d Nucci. We all knew the Nucci should have been gone.
Speaker 1: Look the Nucci, I don't even think he'll be back
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. I mean, you know, not the
Speaker 1: pile on the kid. But he just was awful out there.
Speaker 1: And so look, Double G to me, he's more experienced
Speaker 1: than the regular season. I know, I keep harping back
Speaker 1: to the stealer's game, but we had we know nothing
Speaker 1: about Cooper Rush, and when defensive dcs out there try
Speaker 1: to make these adjustments towards him and make him go
Speaker 1: through progressions and all that stuff, we know nothing. What
Speaker 1: can Cooper Rush do out there? Now? Overall, I don't
Speaker 1: think Cooper Rush is gonna be the backup. I mean
Speaker 1: he might be there for the first maybe week or two,
Speaker 1: but I presume that we're gonna go out there and
Speaker 1: try to find somebody to bring in to back up
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott because I honestly think, and I think you
Speaker 1: guys can agree with me on this, Cooper Rush is
Speaker 1: not the answer at backup quarterback, neither of those neither
Speaker 1: three of those guys. I'm willing to admit. You know,
Speaker 1: Double G let me down a little bit. You know,
Speaker 1: I thought they gave him opportunities in this preseason, he
Speaker 1: wasn't able to grab the reins and take over that
Speaker 1: backup job. They gave him plenty of opportunities, and he
Speaker 1: just wasn't able to do it. But I don't think
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush is that big of a you know, it
Speaker 1: has that big of an advantage to be the backup.
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't believe in that. So I
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are gonna go get somebody. Whether it
Speaker 1: be the first week, second week, third week, We'll find
Speaker 1: somebody and Cooper Rush won't be the backup throughout the
Speaker 1: regular season. But I mean, overall, we need one bad
Speaker 1: because this this backup situation is terrible. Take that. Hell, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll say this. I'll say this, Barry, because you know,
Speaker 1: I wanted to look you in your face as I
Speaker 1: said this. Okay, because yeah, you started off okay, you
Speaker 1: talk about it els, Okay, you started off with Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy being the guy to write this ship. Okay, you
Speaker 1: started off with that, okay, and then you backdoor that
Speaker 1: with Benda Nucci is gonna be the guy. You backdoor
Speaker 1: that NUC is going to be the guy, Okay, and
Speaker 1: then you backdoor that we're going to make the playoffs
Speaker 1: possibly going to the Super Bowl. The Red Pistol is
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy. Then you backdoor that by saying
Speaker 1: double G. Oh say hold on, hold on, let me interrupt, reble.
Speaker 1: I never said red pistol. Red Pistol is the reason
Speaker 1: we didn't get to the playoffs. No pistole decided the
Speaker 1: last game of the season for to play his Church.
Speaker 1: Did you give him his nick did you take his
Speaker 1: nickname away? Giving him back his his real name? At
Speaker 1: some point in the season last year, you said I'm
Speaker 1: not calling the Red pistol no more. He came in,
Speaker 1: he did his thing, he got his real name back. Okay,
Speaker 1: you did. Okay, I'm gonna tell you that's that's what
Speaker 1: his nickname is. Okay, okay, but wait, there's more. Then
Speaker 1: Church says, you know, double double double G is going
Speaker 1: to win this quarterback battle. That was last week. He
Speaker 1: said double G's gonna win this quarterback battle. And we
Speaker 1: no longer have been. We no longer have been to
Speaker 1: Nucci or double G on the roster, which means we
Speaker 1: can quit talking about that. That is signed, sealed, the
Speaker 1: little done. It's over. No double G Cooper because Cooper
Speaker 1: rust has won the quarterback battle. Let me ask, did
Speaker 1: Cooper Rushes are to win that Coop that backup back?
Speaker 1: You gotta ask Jerry. Jerry said he had a better
Speaker 1: He had an understanding of the offense he was fine with. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to something you referenced already
Speaker 1: and I talked about it on the show too. You
Speaker 1: had all offseason where you set the table for Garrett
Speaker 1: Gilbert to be the backup. He spent the whole time. Man,
Speaker 1: this is this is right here for you to win.
Speaker 1: We want to give you. We want to give this
Speaker 1: to you. You take it. That to me was a
Speaker 1: red flag right there. You guys are both played You
Speaker 1: guys are you guys have both played this, and you
Speaker 1: guys have both been on teams where the coaching staff
Speaker 1: is trying to give someone a job. Here, God, please
Speaker 1: take it. He didn't do it. That's a red flag
Speaker 1: for me. And Cooper rushed what he did. Okay, man,
Speaker 1: go ahead and give it to him. I don't have
Speaker 1: any issues and you can talk about any man, you know. Uh,
Speaker 1: Double G played in the game against Pittsburgh and say lost. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine. Um, yeah, I'm sorry, sorry man, your boy,
Speaker 1: Your boy had a shot TDNT. Are you are you?
Speaker 1: Are you comfortable with Cooper? Are you comfortable with Cooper Rush? Barry?
Speaker 1: We've talked about. I've said this since training camp. I
Speaker 1: can't go back to WAYT Center. The backup quarterback you
Speaker 1: need is not on this roster. I said that since camp.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to back off that today. But I
Speaker 1: do know this, all right, you're getting ready to face
Speaker 1: the Tapha Bay buccaneers. I don't see them being able
Speaker 1: to get anyone in here during this tip from now
Speaker 1: until September nine that you're gonna sit up here and say,
Speaker 1: hey man, this guy's gonna get this offensive. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be that guy. I don't see that right now. So
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush is going to be the guy. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at it this way. So are you? MA? Are you
Speaker 1: are you comfortable with that? No? But let's be honest, Church,
Speaker 1: how many of your thirty two teams are comfortable with
Speaker 1: the backups they have? There's not many. There's not many
Speaker 1: all Over, asked Mike McCarthy. How comfortably he was because
Speaker 1: I remember when when when Aaron Rodgers went down, we
Speaker 1: will be okay bred hunting and do you know what
Speaker 1: you saw brand Huntley. Dude didn't do anything. So, I
Speaker 1: mean most most teams man when you take the starter down,
Speaker 1: especially when you got a highly paid starter. Most teams
Speaker 1: are in the world hurt after that because if you
Speaker 1: got a highly paid starter, you don't really have enough
Speaker 1: money to put that resources towards the backup quarterback unless
Speaker 1: you develop that guy. So to me, if I'm the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep Cooper Rush for now, and we've
Speaker 1: spoke about it before here, You're going to go out
Speaker 1: and look for someone. Now. Will Greer was cut by
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers today. I'm not saying Will Griers the answer,
Speaker 1: but I'll say this, I would pick up the phone
Speaker 1: or I find Will McClay. I'm doing some research on
Speaker 1: a guy that Carolina Panthers got rid of who played
Speaker 1: at West Virginia to see, okay, could there be a fit?
Speaker 1: Could he be better than Cooper Rush? Could he be
Speaker 1: better than Cooper Rush in two three weeks? I do
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have three quarterbacks. You're not just gonna
Speaker 1: go with two sold at some point in time, You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to get a third quarterback and put that
Speaker 1: third quarterback on the active roster because we know about
Speaker 1: the whole COVID issues stay, So you need three guys
Speaker 1: because of COVID right now. So you don't need it
Speaker 1: right here for the fifty three. You can massage it,
Speaker 1: but at some point in time, I do expect this
Speaker 1: club to go get a third quarterback. You know, look,
Speaker 1: and I didn't I agree, And if and if, if,
Speaker 1: if Dad goes down by any stretch of the imagination,
Speaker 1: the season is lost regardless Solo. I mean, we're hoping.
Speaker 1: I gotta hope that Dak stays healthy, and I hope
Speaker 1: we don't see neither one of these backup quarterbacks, but
Speaker 1: we do got to grab another one because I you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: Cooper rusts ain't it? Boys believe so? So would you
Speaker 1: have been okay with them keeping Cooper Rust and Garrett Gilbert?
Speaker 1: No Church, No, no, no, so Na no no. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and act like Garrett Gilbert, you know,
Speaker 1: was that guy Like I tried to defend my guy
Speaker 1: for a little bit, but like new he said, he
Speaker 1: didn't grab the reins. I can't sit here and pretend
Speaker 1: and try to front like he was. You know, he
Speaker 1: was a frontrunner. He didn't grab the reins. Cowboys gave
Speaker 1: him plenty opportunities. So so I'm disappointed and Gilbert on
Speaker 1: that regard, But I do feel like we need to
Speaker 1: upgrade that position, whether it be with a Greer or
Speaker 1: somebody else like that, we do need to upgrade the
Speaker 1: backup position. Yeah, just y just to finish that one off.
Speaker 1: Y'all keep saying that he you know, he didn't grab
Speaker 1: the reins. It sounds like he lost the job. They
Speaker 1: gave it to him and he lost it. He didn't,
Speaker 1: he didn't. He didn't like they didn't set it up
Speaker 1: there and say, hey man, this is yours to go take.
Speaker 1: They said, hey man, you are the guy. You went
Speaker 1: out there and you want You played well against Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: so we saw what you could do in this in
Speaker 1: the regular season, and hopefully you can carry this on
Speaker 1: the shorts that you could be the backup quarterback. And
Speaker 1: then he lost it to Cooper rush He lost it
Speaker 1: no matter no matter how how close the battle was.
Speaker 1: They looked at it and said, we believe that we
Speaker 1: have a better chance of winning with Cooper Rusher at
Speaker 1: quarterback than we do with Gary Gilbert. And that says
Speaker 1: a lot about what happened with Gary Gilbert this offseason.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Gary Gilbert should be mad at Gary Gilbert.
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, I mean, look, he should go looking at
Speaker 1: mirror and he should be mad because they tried to
Speaker 1: give this too they okay, it's yours, it's you. I mean,
Speaker 1: no different than Michael Parsons, all the work. They gave
Speaker 1: him a training camp. They wanted him to be the guy.
Speaker 1: He went in and did the work and took the job. Sorry,
Speaker 1: Gary Gilbert didn't do it. This is the National Football League,
Speaker 1: you know. I think they really wanted to see Ben
Speaker 1: de Nucci take another step forward and develop. You know,
Speaker 1: he didn't do it. He got cut And at this
Speaker 1: point in time, I don't think that I would put
Speaker 1: Ben de Nucci on my practice squad. Why why we
Speaker 1: seen we've seen everything now if we've seen a development. Sorry, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's what. Where Will McClay goes in there with
Speaker 1: his coffee. If you go sit down with with Mike McCarthy, Hey, man,
Speaker 1: I know you like him. I know you like him,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I know i'd say it's gonna be I
Speaker 1: know y'all got that that Pittsburgh connection, but but not
Speaker 1: you gonna have to watch this again to night too, man,
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be on there, all right, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be You're gonna see your boy Gary Gilbert. They're gonna
Speaker 1: talk to him in the office telling them why they
Speaker 1: released him. You're gonna be able to hear front and center. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you woudn't even have to hear from me. And
Speaker 1: now we read any quotes. They're gonna show it to you,
Speaker 1: all right, So don't you worry. He's gonna say so
Speaker 1: he's gonna say, hey, my god, be church Man, a
Speaker 1: part of the players. Now he had my back. Man, y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all don't see what he sees in me. Hell no,
Speaker 1: we don't see what you give me that so other
Speaker 1: other releases today, tard Archer of the of ESPN dot
Speaker 1: Com says Braylon Jones has been released. He says he
Speaker 1: believes he thinks that Braylan could return to the practice
Speaker 1: squad because he's got a position flexing guard and center.
Speaker 1: A cut that I was not surprised at was Darry Thompson,
Speaker 1: so veteran safety Darry Thompson his gun and he wow.
Speaker 1: Tard Archer says he thinks y'all. Y'all, y'all not surprised
Speaker 1: about that. Um, look at the numbers. Once Jerry said,
Speaker 1: that's of course special, that's of course special team. Yeah boy,
Speaker 1: he said Hooker was was for sure on the team,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Once once Jerry said Hooker was
Speaker 1: on the team, somebody had to go and it wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna be c J. Goodwin. He said, y'all think y'all
Speaker 1: think hook they're gonna play teams. Uh, we know, hes
Speaker 1: gonna be on the team. I don't know. You know
Speaker 1: how many special teams are gonna play? Well, you know,
Speaker 1: you know we know that the owner said that Malee
Speaker 1: Hooker was a lock. He was he was going to
Speaker 1: be on the Rocks. Oh yeah, hes gonna be running
Speaker 1: out one or two of them. Yeah, he'd probably be
Speaker 1: like the safety on a kickoff or something. You know,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be doing nothing too crazy, especially coming
Speaker 1: off an injury. But they they're gonna get the use
Speaker 1: out of the Yeah, they're gonna get one of two.
Speaker 1: I mean, be on game active game day. He's gonna
Speaker 1: have to be on one or two. So so yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean at this point in time. Yeah, Um, but
Speaker 1: but Derry Thompson. When you started looking at the nimpers
Speaker 1: and I was listening to the Break yesterday with Nick
Speaker 1: and Dave and and and Dog Team Derek and Luck.
Speaker 1: It was real simple as they were kind of going
Speaker 1: down the list because they thought they had Thompson on
Speaker 1: there and I don't just listen to yase they and
Speaker 1: and they ended up in the end back And remember
Speaker 1: they forgot c J. Goodwin because we hadn't seen much
Speaker 1: of them the preseason. But there was there's going to
Speaker 1: be someone you're gonna cut Curse. You're not cutting Kazy.
Speaker 1: Jerry told you Hooker was taking the team. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you got Wilson, And I think what Kurt? What happened
Speaker 1: with Curse? Well, yeah, and Kurs was he was a
Speaker 1: core special teamer in Detroit. You know, that's where he
Speaker 1: made his bones in Detroit. And I think what helped
Speaker 1: Curse get over the edges that Houston game. I mean,
Speaker 1: if we saw that Houston game, his play as safety,
Speaker 1: I mean he popped off to take and so I
Speaker 1: definitely got to give Curse that Noah, But you know,
Speaker 1: I thought for sure they would, you know, at least
Speaker 1: make a role some type of niche for for Darien Thompson.
Speaker 1: But I guess if you already got that guy in CJ.
Speaker 1: Goodwin who's designated as a special teamer and they paid
Speaker 1: him as such, you can't have two of those on
Speaker 1: the team. So I guess the guy is the MVP,
Speaker 1: c J. Goodwin. It also means they have some other
Speaker 1: guys that they think can can feel that special team
Speaker 1: spot as well, being on a receiver or being at
Speaker 1: another position out there on the field. They see some
Speaker 1: guys who they think can feel that spot. But that
Speaker 1: was the four safeties. I mean that right there. I
Speaker 1: mean we're looking at We talked about it. So once
Speaker 1: Jerry said Hooker made the team, Kaz is Quinn's guy,
Speaker 1: he was gonna make the team, Wilson was there before,
Speaker 1: and then curses the guy they brought in, and you're
Speaker 1: playing specials. So right there, you look at those four
Speaker 1: Thompson wasn't gonna beat any of those guys out. So
Speaker 1: that's why I was let me ask let me ask
Speaker 1: you our question. Let me ask you a question there, dude.
Speaker 1: So since since we're going super light at safety, only

Speaker 1: all right, um, more cuts according to our local beat reporters,
Speaker 1: here Michael Gel because the Dallas Morning News is the
Speaker 1: Cowboys wave running back Jaquon Hardy, and he's a guy
Speaker 1: who could be signed the practice squad on Wednesday if
Speaker 1: he clears waivers. You saw him on the last episode
Speaker 1: of Hard Knox with the whole contact lens deal. By
Speaker 1: the way Hard Knox does air tonight, also Gilk and
Speaker 1: reporting that undrafted rookie running back Brendan Knox is gone.
Speaker 1: So the so the number three running back is not
Speaker 1: on the roster, so right now it looks like they're
Speaker 1: just gonna go with two running backs. He also says
Speaker 1: that cornerback Deonte Burton is gone. Spent most of the
Speaker 1: last season on that Cowboy practice squad. He's got wide
Speaker 1: receiver brands. He struggled, he says. Brandon Smith, wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Undrafted wide receiver from Iowa has been waived. They expect
Speaker 1: him to make the practice squad if he can clear waivers.
Speaker 1: Braylon Jones we talked about before, rookie from Houston. He's
Speaker 1: been waved. Johnny Dixon wide receiver, kick returner. Johnny Dixon
Speaker 1: has been let go as well, according to Michael Gelkin
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Morning News. So cut's coming in here.
Speaker 1: And of course, if you didn't hear earlier, Darry Thompson's
Speaker 1: safety gone. We spoke about that. Ben Denucci has been
Speaker 1: cut and Garrett Gilbert has been cut. So Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: has made the Cowboys as the quarterback. Jerry Jones I
Speaker 1: want to find through the fan saying that he feels
Speaker 1: that Cooper's familiarity to be the offense has helped him
Speaker 1: win the job. So that your backup for Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: going into the Tampa Bay game will be Cooper Rush.
Speaker 1: Cam Newton has lost the quarterback job in New England
Speaker 1: to Mac Jones. So Cam Newton has been cut. They
Speaker 1: didn't have a whole lot of money in And so
Speaker 1: for people who talked about, hey, all right, Cam of
Speaker 1: the Cowboys is a very popular trending item. Cam Newton
Speaker 1: is not vaccinated. Cam Newton had to miss was it
Speaker 1: five days? With the understanding Patriots already for a misunderstanding?
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is very adamant about being vaccinated. And when
Speaker 1: you talk about a backup quarterback not being vaccinated, that's
Speaker 1: going to be not just a question for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a question for a whole lot of
Speaker 1: teams in the National Football League. Who and he's a
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, who's who's always going to be in close
Speaker 1: contact with the franchise with the guy that's that's got
Speaker 1: the whole franchise on his back, Dak Prescott. So we
Speaker 1: can't risk him getting in close contact. Maybe what if
Speaker 1: it happen Thursday, Daddy. He was trying to hold it too.
Speaker 1: He was trying to hold it. You need to get
Speaker 1: that go ahead. You can see it on his face.
Speaker 1: He was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's
Speaker 1: a little one back. You need to handle that real quick.
Speaker 1: I could take another break, Nae pretty good. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all heard it or now I
Speaker 1: heard that twice. So good? Is that kind of day
Speaker 1: for you? Church? We're gonna wear everybody wearing you out, man,
Speaker 1: So you come on in here today, man, what happens? What?
Speaker 1: And so you know, you know, you know I could
Speaker 1: take it. I've benna push them back before on this show,
Speaker 1: so you know I could take it. But y'all day's coming, though,
Speaker 1: y'all day is coming. It's all good, y'all days. Hey man,
Speaker 1: we still love you, man, we still we still we
Speaker 1: still love you. So it's all good. But that that
Speaker 1: vaccination question. Okay, so when you talk about Cam's cut down,
Speaker 1: you want to go visit a team right now. Now,
Speaker 1: you got issues with the whole pro COVID protocol thing.
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to get into a strong debate
Speaker 1: about whether you should or should not be vaccinated. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that, but I'll just simply say this.
Speaker 1: The National Football League is basically told all players, we're
Speaker 1: gonna make life as hard as we can for you.
Speaker 1: If you're not and if you're a quarterback, this is
Speaker 1: an issue if you're if you are Kirk Cousins making
Speaker 1: a whole lot of money. You can play this game.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm not gonna do it. Okay if you're Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Aaron Rodgers you can do this.
Speaker 1: You're a backup. You can't. You're a backup quarterback. Jet
Speaker 1: it up, it up? You don't. You don't. I mean
Speaker 1: because Terrelle Pryor was talking about you see his tweets. Okay,
Speaker 1: Jarrell Pryor was talking about yeah, man, you know um
Speaker 1: not Yeah. Teams are telling me that I don't get
Speaker 1: back to that I may not be able to come
Speaker 1: in and it's gonna affect me. And okay, well guess
Speaker 1: what you gotta do it. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: two are vaccinated, I will tell you who I am.
Speaker 1: And you want to know why I got vaccinated? What
Speaker 1: to um? It was the Cowboys press conference in April
Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones was talking to He was you could
Speaker 1: tell how strong he was pushing his thoughts on vaccinations,
Speaker 1: and he was saying how nobody was going to be
Speaker 1: in his draft room he was not fully vaccinated. And
Speaker 1: I ended up going to um lunch with a lawyer
Speaker 1: team lawyer for one of the major pro sports teams here,
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, look, basically, you're letting the media
Speaker 1: know you're we're not gonna let you near our players
Speaker 1: if you're not vaccination. And the lawyers like, yep, signed up,
Speaker 1: went got my shots because it was really simple back
Speaker 1: then in April, these teams were sending the message to
Speaker 1: the media, if you're not vaccinated, you're not getting around
Speaker 1: our players. Okay, we're not taking a chance on you.
Speaker 1: You're not about them. You media aren't about to screw
Speaker 1: us up. They agree, so you know what went head
Speaker 1: got jabbed up, balloon. And then we got to notice
Speaker 1: about Cowboy Camp. You want to go to Cowboy Camp,
Speaker 1: better be fully vaccinated. You're not stepping in the building.
Speaker 1: And there was one media person I knew who was
Speaker 1: kind of looking at like, I don't know. I telled me,
Speaker 1: ask you this, you know what Cowboy camp is he
Speaker 1: in late July, going in August. You want to stay
Speaker 1: here in town on Dallas Footworth burning. You want to
Speaker 1: get on the plane and go You know, like, I
Speaker 1: don't know about you, but I'm going to California. Let
Speaker 1: me get that shot. So literally, I did it for
Speaker 1: my job and now, I mean, and since I did
Speaker 1: this was April, so since then, it's basically come out
Speaker 1: a whole lot of ways from a media standpoint. And
Speaker 1: if you want to do these things and be around
Speaker 1: you have to do It's a part of your job.
Speaker 1: And I got a friend who works from the major
Speaker 1: television stations and in the state of Texas and he
Speaker 1: won't do it. And I'm like, hey, man, I get it.
Speaker 1: And I told us, like, bottom line is I want
Speaker 1: to be able to do my job. I do not
Speaker 1: want to be the guy that can't do his job
Speaker 1: because he's not vaccinated. I look at a guy like
Speaker 1: Cam Newton right now, just come back to Cam, your
Speaker 1: backup quarterback in this league. You're not vaccinating. I don't
Speaker 1: think you're You're not good enough anymore to take that round.
Speaker 1: And that's really if you think about how that's pretty
Speaker 1: much all backup players. Backup players, you better go get it.
Speaker 1: You're not good enough to sit around here and take
Speaker 1: a stand on it. Some starters. It's some starters in
Speaker 1: the position to where you don't Cam learned that that
Speaker 1: he was a starter and he didn't have he didn't
Speaker 1: have what he thought he had, and that ended up
Speaker 1: getting him released because he missed those days. Mac Jones
Speaker 1: came in lit it on fire, and Belichick was like,
Speaker 1: hey man, we got our guy. And you should have
Speaker 1: known this because we picked them fifteenth in the draft.
Speaker 1: It ain't like it was a third or fourth rounder
Speaker 1: that was behind you. This is a first round pick
Speaker 1: who's pushing you for the competition for the starting quarterback.
Speaker 1: And you go out there, you have to miss five
Speaker 1: days because it is Hey, it's your prerogative to do
Speaker 1: it whatever you want to do out mine. I got
Speaker 1: mine for safety. I know people who have gotten in
Speaker 1: and it didn't end up well for them. I got
Speaker 1: a daughter who can't get vaccinated. That's why I got
Speaker 1: mine outside of work. But I can also now come
Speaker 1: to work and feel comfortable about being here. So mine
Speaker 1: is fine. They got the choice to do that, but
Speaker 1: they also have to know that this consequences repercussions for
Speaker 1: the people who don't have the vaccine, because that's the
Speaker 1: rules of the NFL. And you know, the biggest casualty
Speaker 1: that we've seen is Cam Newton. NBA came out this
Speaker 1: week said all reps gotta get jabbed up, gotta get vaccinated.
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's coming. I ended up having to
Speaker 1: submit my vaccination um questionnaire to my job. They wanted
Speaker 1: to win. Where what type you got. It's just a
Speaker 1: part of the job. And for me, I want to travel. God,
Speaker 1: I want to go to Tampa Bay. I want to
Speaker 1: go to Los Angeles. You know, we know you want
Speaker 1: to go to LA. Don't you want to go to LA? Well,
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl is gonna be a sofi stad so
Speaker 1: I want to be there. I will hit Randy's Donuts
Speaker 1: and I really hit Roscos without you know, make up
Speaker 1: my annual LA trips. So go back to my old
Speaker 1: my old town. So I enjoy I enjoyed that. But
Speaker 1: that's doing your job and also just living life. These
Speaker 1: are the reasons why I've done But for football players
Speaker 1: right now, backup, football players, I'm sorry. I don't know
Speaker 1: what kind of research you got left to do, but
Speaker 1: it's really clear the league is just making it really
Speaker 1: hard for you. And unless you are a solid starter
Speaker 1: and you have started is making big money that they
Speaker 1: can't really do anything to you. To you gotta do it.
Speaker 1: So Church this Cam Newton question about being vaccinated, and
Speaker 1: try to get on teams right now, this is going
Speaker 1: to be an issue. Church. If Okay, you're last year
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, they go out and they draft the first
Speaker 1: round safety, you're still starting. The only thing that could
Speaker 1: hold you out is missing time, right and you're and
Speaker 1: the only thing that can make you missed time is
Speaker 1: not being vaccinated. What is your decision? Oh, I'm getting
Speaker 1: stabbed up. Look, I mean that's that's that's that's bread
Speaker 1: on the line. I'm on the line right there. That's
Speaker 1: millions of dollars on the line right there. Look, and
Speaker 1: everybody's not can't be you know, Cole Beasley out here,
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley's one of the top two options for you know,
Speaker 1: an MVP candidate and Josh Allen out there. So everybody
Speaker 1: can't risk that decision to be like, oh, I don't
Speaker 1: want to get you know, get vaccinated. If if I
Speaker 1: get it, I get it. If I don't, I don't
Speaker 1: a lot of people can't do that. Now, if you're
Speaker 1: talking about me, I'm for sure getting jabbed up. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm doing everything I can to keep that job. And
Speaker 1: now maybe Cam Newton he got enough duckets saved up
Speaker 1: to where he's like, look, I don't need the NFL.
Speaker 1: I just like to do this as I just like
Speaker 1: to do it just because it's you know, it's there
Speaker 1: and I'm good at it. So maybe he made that decision.
Speaker 1: But if it's me, I'm going forward. I see this
Speaker 1: young kid coming up and I can't miss any time
Speaker 1: or my job is getting taken. I gotta get stabbed up.
Speaker 1: Something was that and I say this. I remember when
Speaker 1: when Cole Beasley first started this and then he went
Speaker 1: in the press conferences. He was talking about how he
Speaker 1: had guys who were reaching out to him because he
Speaker 1: was like the spokesperson forward or whatever. And I would
Speaker 1: always get these guys this warning, hey man, like you said, Church,
Speaker 1: everybody is not in the position of a Cole Beasley.
Speaker 1: And I can guarantee you some of those guys who
Speaker 1: were reaching out to him were low on the roster
Speaker 1: and would lose their jobs if they followed suit behind
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley. And some of them probably will trying to
Speaker 1: trying to play that role, and they just got to
Speaker 1: be ready to do that. But be careful who you
Speaker 1: followed behind, because you are not Cole Beasley, Cam Newton,
Speaker 1: and you know you're not the first rounder man. And
Speaker 1: that dude went out there, and he maximized his opportunity
Speaker 1: like Garret Gilbert didn't. I mean we've seen it hundreds
Speaker 1: and hundreds of times, you know, not with the COVID,
Speaker 1: but remember, all right, look Ardando Scandrick. He was a
Speaker 1: nickel corner for us. You know, for a long time
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. Young guys would come in and try
Speaker 1: to act like Skandrick. Like you know how Scandrick was.
Speaker 1: He was kind of put off. He's kind of talk
Speaker 1: crazy to the coaches. Every now and then the young
Speaker 1: guys would try to come in and follow that Joe
Speaker 1: d I could remember that, Joe telling these people don't
Speaker 1: let adulthood or Lando Dragon to the deep end. He
Speaker 1: can swim out there, y'all can't swim out there. We've
Speaker 1: seen that hundreds and hundreds of times and it always fails.
Speaker 1: So I mean, you gotta understand where you are and
Speaker 1: the pecking toll and and the totem paul when it
Speaker 1: comes to these teams. And also add another layer into this,
Speaker 1: how does your team feel about vaccinations? You know the
Speaker 1: stands that Jerry Jones has. I go and look at
Speaker 1: Washington right now, all right, their head coach has had
Speaker 1: cancer and you heard Ron River early in camp talk
Speaker 1: about his frustration for guys who were not because he's
Speaker 1: exposed to them. Now, do you think you can be
Speaker 1: a backup player on the Washington football team unvaccinated? And
Speaker 1: the head coaches and told you how he feels. And
Speaker 1: he's been a cap and he's he's battled and beaten cancer.
Speaker 1: I think he wants to be around something backup player
Speaker 1: who's not, you know, use common sense. Then you look
Speaker 1: at Mike Zimmer and what happen once calin Man ended
Speaker 1: up getting COVID and then Kirk Cousins and having quarterbacks
Speaker 1: for a minute here, and you saw his frustration at
Speaker 1: the podium. This is one where and I don't you
Speaker 1: guys tell me this because I don't know how how
Speaker 1: agents work in the NFL. But if I'm an agent,
Speaker 1: I got a backup player. I'm on to hey, man, look,
Speaker 1: you need to do this. You need to do this
Speaker 1: because you don't give them a reason to take your job.
Speaker 1: And Danny, some guys need to make these teams and
Speaker 1: play that first week so you get yourself vested, baby,
Speaker 1: so you can get the pinchon. Okay, these are these jobs,
Speaker 1: some of these are many guys, man, you you may
Speaker 1: only get three four years in here. You just you
Speaker 1: trying to get that pinch, man, I and that's where somebody.
Speaker 1: That's where somebody's wife or mama need to get up
Speaker 1: at some son, husband, dad, go get this so we
Speaker 1: can get this pinch. There's just too much on the
Speaker 1: line that backup players can sit around here to body.
Speaker 1: They go stand on some something that's hey, that's that's
Speaker 1: that's their choice, and then it's it's the NFL's choice
Speaker 1: and the team's choice to to do with that as
Speaker 1: they see fit and when we're seeing that around the
Speaker 1: league with coaches and players. So we'll see how it
Speaker 1: shakes out this season. But Cam Newton won't be the
Speaker 1: only guy. This is correct. This is correct. Hard knocks tonight.
Speaker 1: Now you interested in watching absolutely? I think uh one
Speaker 1: week we get to see, you know, this final game.
Speaker 1: We get to see some of those young guys get
Speaker 1: out there and play. We get to see kind of
Speaker 1: behind the scenes of how they are able to prepare
Speaker 1: and get ready for a game to where they will
Speaker 1: actually be the starters. And then we also get to
Speaker 1: see kind of the sad part of it of this
Speaker 1: is the league, This is a business, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: see some of these guys get cut. You're gonna see
Speaker 1: some some of the end of these guys's football careers. Um,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be a little
Speaker 1: a little sad, But I think that really shows what
Speaker 1: the NFL is and how hard it is to remain
Speaker 1: in this league and play at a high level. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a definitely tune in just because I want to
Speaker 1: see I want to see who's the new Bruce May's like,
Speaker 1: who's the new guy that's going on tapping guys on
Speaker 1: the shoulder, like, hey, it's time to go, let me
Speaker 1: get that laptop or let me get that iPad off
Speaker 1: of you. I want to know who's that new guy
Speaker 1: in there. But it's definitely gonna be intriguing. This is
Speaker 1: the part of the business that sucks the most because
Speaker 1: you kind of get a connection with these guys, whether
Speaker 1: it be you know, the rookies coming in undrafted, whoever
Speaker 1: it may be. You gotta you get a connection with
Speaker 1: these guys. You never want to see their dreams kind
Speaker 1: of take a hit from being cut, but you know, hopefully,
Speaker 1: you know there's other opportunities for those guys out there,
Speaker 1: but I'm definitely gonna be interested in seeing what happens
Speaker 1: here tonight on Hard Knocks. All right, we will tune
Speaker 1: in and check it out. Let's hit another break here.
Speaker 1: I went to Saints practice yesterday at at and T Stadium.

Speaker 1: watching Chris Richard throws some passes to the DVS. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a Jeff heat throw like this. This is not
Speaker 1: proprietary information. Good, it's it's a stretch. And then there
Speaker 1: was a limit, like you guys can stand at the
Speaker 1: twenty and to the end zone. That's as far as
Speaker 1: you can go. Well, they got Jameis Winston the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: way down the field, so we can't even really get
Speaker 1: eating good on Jamis to tasting hill, tasting Hill, and
Speaker 1: so it's just they cut that thing off, man. And
Speaker 1: then you know, so I think I think my photographer
Speaker 1: got four minutes of film. But and then so my
Speaker 1: TV station wanted me in the four o'clock Yeah, we
Speaker 1: need you in the Portland hiding the four o'clock show.
Speaker 1: So I was happy I had the force. I said, hey, man,
Speaker 1: let me let me get get a quick stand up,
Speaker 1: you know it a little quick intro outro here while
Speaker 1: I got the scenes behind me the show like I
Speaker 1: was actually here. And I'm glad I did because when
Speaker 1: we got down there. Yeah, we ahead cut that out,
Speaker 1: Like what you mean you said you said two twenty. No,
Speaker 1: that's what time you're leaving. Leaving at two twenty. The
Speaker 1: camera's off. It too hit. I wish you could put
Speaker 1: that in the nuts. So so I'm out here and
Speaker 1: worders out here, Jory Epstein from USA Today's out here.
Speaker 1: The Saint Sweet Riders right here. They got to eat.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just sitting there. This was a waste,
Speaker 1: This was a waste of times. So, you know, told
Speaker 1: told my folks at the office, like, yeah, we got
Speaker 1: some stuff. I said, I ain't coming back. I will
Speaker 1: not be here today and tomorrow, thanks Sean Payton. So
Speaker 1: which made me think, man, we got a good here
Speaker 1: coming to Cowboys fifteen. It wasn't E fifteen. I get
Speaker 1: more TCU, Man, Lisa, let us shoot it. Okay, you're not.
Speaker 1: And I understand the coaches paranoia because they're all coaches paranoid.
Speaker 1: I mean, lord knows are dealing with one here with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys now, Mike McCarthy, But you are not about
Speaker 1: to get any significant give advantage by watching individual drills
Speaker 1: and filming them for TV. Okay, you're not. Okay, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers is not about to know anything from what Chris
Speaker 1: Rashard was just throwing pass this to his DBS right
Speaker 1: there in individual drill. That's not going to help Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers on September twelve. It's just not okay, it's just
Speaker 1: not at all. So anyway, I just kind of laughed
Speaker 1: at how the Saints ran theirs, which is very different.
Speaker 1: We're very lucky here with the Cowboys. How we're allowed
Speaker 1: to Rich Dalry Bull. Let's just do our thing. Here's
Speaker 1: one takeaway that I had, and I really did feel
Speaker 1: for some Saints players, you know, like everyone else. They
Speaker 1: got to cut down the roster. Those guys who were
Speaker 1: going to get cut from the Saints, they can't go
Speaker 1: back to Louisiana. And apparently, according to Jorry Epstein that
Speaker 1: the Saints began roster cut last night, you know, while
Speaker 1: they're still you know, dealing with being in Dallas. And
Speaker 1: Peyton said, quote, I don't think anyone's returning to New
Speaker 1: Orleans in short term, So there you go. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: you hope is that a lot of those guys that
Speaker 1: are getting released don't they don't have permanent residents in
Speaker 1: New Orleans. You hope that, uh, you know, the Saints
Speaker 1: can get them a flight back to where their original
Speaker 1: where original home is so they don't have to deal
Speaker 1: with that. But I do feel bad for the guys
Speaker 1: who actually have permanent residents in New Orleans and they
Speaker 1: can't get back home. All right, Hey, we just got
Speaker 1: some breaking news here on Twitter for Jeff Duncan, who
Speaker 1: covers the Saints. He says Sean Payton said the Saints
Speaker 1: are planning to be away from New York Ones for
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the NFL season and will adjust accordingly. Oh,
Speaker 1: it must be really bad down there. Wow. Well, look,
Speaker 1: I know they have no pile and here. And I
Speaker 1: go back into this because we were talking last night
Speaker 1: in my office about I think about you know them,
Speaker 1: because Sean would talked about, hey, we don't know if
Speaker 1: the first game because it's supposed to be at home
Speaker 1: against the Packers, and I was like, hey, hopping um
Speaker 1: September twelve, said, because you got and you guys know
Speaker 1: this being former players. To Danny Berry, what happens on
Speaker 1: a game day is you need your local police departments
Speaker 1: out there. So the city being in the situation is
Speaker 1: they can't sit around police can't afford to putting no
Speaker 1: officers in no football game. I mean they got to
Speaker 1: they have to utilize that. That and then you got
Speaker 1: the first responders who come out here for these games.
Speaker 1: And then you got a workforce of people who come
Speaker 1: out here from the people who are working the concessions
Speaker 1: for the people who are working apart. How are these
Speaker 1: folks getting, you know, and are they letting are they
Speaker 1: using the Superdome as as a as a place for
Speaker 1: people to hold up until until they're able to get
Speaker 1: back until their own place. And that was the next thing.
Speaker 1: You don't you don't exactly know exactly You're just just
Speaker 1: how are they using the Superdome, as you said, for
Speaker 1: for civic purposes? So that's as how I told I
Speaker 1: told my guys like, man, there's no way they're playing
Speaker 1: that game at home against the Packers right now. So
Speaker 1: what you play it here? So the first, you know,
Speaker 1: quarter of the season you play, you play in Dallas
Speaker 1: when we're not playing well, I mean this is what
Speaker 1: just kind of looking at their schedule, Um, Cowboys don't
Speaker 1: have us uh Sunday game that they're playing at Jerry
Speaker 1: World in September at all. So you know, the first
Speaker 1: game is at Tampa. The second game is ten days later,
Speaker 1: the nineteenth, in Los Angele, and then that Billy game
Speaker 1: is a Monday night game. So looking at right now,
Speaker 1: for the Saints and Shanna Paca, was the first quarter
Speaker 1: of the season, the only game that really would be
Speaker 1: affected for them. Well, the first game obviously would be
Speaker 1: Green Bay, which I would anticipate you play here because
Speaker 1: the stadium will be open. The Cowboys don't play because
Speaker 1: the Cowboys played Thursday night, so that Sunday night Jerry
Speaker 1: World's open. Then they go to Carolina, then they go
Speaker 1: to New England, and then the next game for the
Speaker 1: Saints would be October third. That would be the saints
Speaker 1: next home contest and they could possibly get back by
Speaker 1: that time. And by the way, it's very interesting. December second,
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Saints play each other. That's supposed to
Speaker 1: be a Thursday night game, and hopefully for the Saints
Speaker 1: they're able to get get get home by by December.
Speaker 1: Once again, we're not sure. So the Cowboys have a
Speaker 1: home game October third against Carolina, and the Saints have
Speaker 1: a home game as well against the Jiance, So there's
Speaker 1: a conflict there. But to me, the conflict is really
Speaker 1: solvable from the standpoint that you just played on a
Speaker 1: Monday night. You just have the Saints go play Monday
Speaker 1: night and it's gonna be They left there not sure
Speaker 1: when they were gonna be going back, and then to
Speaker 1: find out they'll be going for the first quarter of
Speaker 1: the season. That is that that that's tough to deal with.
Speaker 1: You know, these guys have families, Uh you know, they
Speaker 1: have stuff at home, kids have school, you know, so
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff for those guys to figure
Speaker 1: out outside of football. Which is which is tough? Man? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's And then you gotta, like you said, you got
Speaker 1: all that going on, and then you're supposed to you know,
Speaker 1: break down film and be able to be prepared for
Speaker 1: an opponent coming up for this regular season. Like you said, Man,
Speaker 1: that's a tough situation right there. So you know it's man,
Speaker 1: that's a tough one right there. This is probably the
Speaker 1: best place for the Saints in terms of if you
Speaker 1: had to go relocate coming up here. You've got a
Speaker 1: fan base of people. So the Saints play. If the
Speaker 1: Saints played Jerry Well against the Packers, I mean, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have a good crowd, and you're gonna get some
Speaker 1: poured up here, and it's not too far away. And
Speaker 1: then you've got a whole bunch of folks who've already
Speaker 1: relocated from a past couple of a couple, you know,
Speaker 1: tough weather circumstances, uh down there in in Louisiana. I
Speaker 1: was talking to Shannon Gross, who who does the Hanging
Speaker 1: with the Boys podcast, and he's telling me that one
Speaker 1: of his family members said they had enough that they're
Speaker 1: they're just going to move out of Louisiana because these
Speaker 1: things used to happen. These major hurricanes used to happen,
Speaker 1: you know, every ten years, you know now because and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm one of those who believes in climate change. Okay,
Speaker 1: I believe in climate change. They're just happening three every three,
Speaker 1: four or five years. Now. How much rebuilding can you
Speaker 1: put folks through? You know? How many times do you
Speaker 1: just say, you know, I'm good And I don't know
Speaker 1: if you guys have ever had to deal with with, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, a flood or just having to do you know, Okay,
Speaker 1: so yes you have, um the TV cameras go away,
Speaker 1: but you know, all right, you just don't get your
Speaker 1: you just don't get the flooding and get a whole
Speaker 1: new floor in two three weeks. It takes a long time.
Speaker 1: And now you start to think about how COVID slowed
Speaker 1: things up, and then you have that that blockage over
Speaker 1: the sus Canal. It's hard getting materials in. So now
Speaker 1: it's hard to get materials in that cost a lot more.
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, it's hard to find people
Speaker 1: working right now. A lot of folks are not and
Speaker 1: so that makes it even tougher. And the prices that
Speaker 1: people are charging for cruise because my wife deals in
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff all the time and trying to
Speaker 1: do home remodels, and they have an issue trying to
Speaker 1: find find subs to work. And you think about the
Speaker 1: after Harvey. It took forever in the same situation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and even just after the freeze, it's people still getting
Speaker 1: their stuff fixed from the freeze that happened in Texas.
Speaker 1: So I can understand how that is. And I, you know,
Speaker 1: knock on wood, I've been lucky enough and blessed enough
Speaker 1: to not have to go through that. But I also
Speaker 1: just say this whole thing insurance. You know, people just say, hey,
Speaker 1: we got insurance that they mean, you gonna get the
Speaker 1: whole chick you think you're supposed to get. At mean,
Speaker 1: that's another issue as well. So for folks down there
Speaker 1: in that Gulf coast there, I'm imagining there are a
Speaker 1: lot of folks, especially as they get older, and decide,
Speaker 1: you know what, let me just roll on and move
Speaker 1: to someplace like Dallas Foot or Texas, or move to Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: or just move somewhere, move somewhere else where. I don't
Speaker 1: have to keep dealing with these with these hurricanes, because
Speaker 1: it can take it can take a toll on you, man,
Speaker 1: And I my heart goes out to those folks, goes
Speaker 1: out to Sean Payton in that organization and those fans
Speaker 1: those kids. Man. Just so you brought up a great
Speaker 1: point here. What are you doing for the kids who
Speaker 1: are now going to be displaced from school? Where do
Speaker 1: you put them at? Here? I mean, what kind of
Speaker 1: adjustment is that going to make? Hey, how long we're
Speaker 1: gonna be well first quarter of the year, where were
Speaker 1: they at with their curriculums? Where are they going to
Speaker 1: be now? And in New Orleans, a lot of those
Speaker 1: guys send their kids to private schools, So how did
Speaker 1: that work with tuition, keep that tuition? Are they doing virtual?
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you how do you get all
Speaker 1: of that stuff taken care of? And then, by the way,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be here this long, where do you live?
Speaker 1: Is the team gonna put you up in a hotel?
Speaker 1: Or do you find it about me? How do you?
Speaker 1: How do you do the missus? By the way, I
Speaker 1: did not pick a lot of variable. Yeah, I had
Speaker 1: to do my predictions for the Dallas Morning News. I did.
Speaker 1: I gotta go back. I don't think. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think I had the Sames making the playoffs. Pretty
Speaker 1: sure I did. I think I had New England making
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'm about to change that. I think I
Speaker 1: think will be okay man like John looked okay. I
Speaker 1: think I like their defense, But I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know if I can and go with the I want
Speaker 1: to go in the Patriots, but Mac Jones being a
Speaker 1: start a rookie, I don't know him a seventeen games.
Speaker 1: We've seen some rookies come out and play very very well.
Speaker 1: If Justin Herbert was on the Patriots, we would they
Speaker 1: would have made the playoffs, all right? Last year when
Speaker 1: you watched him play Church picked him up in fantasy
Speaker 1: and was like, oh man, I got lucky as hell
Speaker 1: because it was like this, dude, come out here, Allen.
Speaker 1: They got the Chargers looking like they somebody, and they
Speaker 1: just couldn't they couldn't figure it out. But if you
Speaker 1: have Mac Jones playing a season like Justin Herbert played
Speaker 1: last year, and he's playing with the Patriots this year,
Speaker 1: they'll be fine. You know, White we should all care
Speaker 1: about this. Was that Matt Jones and the Cowboys go
Speaker 1: against each other October seventeenth up there Gillette Stadium, So
Speaker 1: it matters, sweet top ten. I'm not worried about this.
Speaker 1: This matters really Church Church. Usually usually oh I don't know,
Speaker 1: no top ten, I'll tell you that much. But usually
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks that have good success, they have a little
Speaker 1: bit of mobility tuns. And I don't know if Matt
Speaker 1: Jones can go out there and get itself out of trouble.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if I'm sold on the Patriots
Speaker 1: making the playoffs. I think they'll win around seven eight games,
Speaker 1: but I don't see them making the playoffs at all.
Speaker 1: What we know about New England's offenses, you do not
Speaker 1: need mobility to be able to be productive because Tom
Speaker 1: Brady sat there and did that with no mobility for
Speaker 1: a long time. It's gonna be a lot of short routes,
Speaker 1: a lot of crossing routes. It's gonna be running the ball,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be playing good defense. I think that suits
Speaker 1: Mac Jones really, really well. All right, I want to
Speaker 1: add this from Jack Jones and Tom Brady. No, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, that's that's not what I said. He can be.
Speaker 1: I said, I said he doesn't have to be mobile.
Speaker 1: He was. Bill Belichick won eleven games in Mack cast
Speaker 1: just and Matt Castle came here stuck up to joint
Speaker 1: as a backup quarterback, remember that Church. So he was trying.
Speaker 1: He was not there. He was not the best. This
Speaker 1: from James Slater here of NFL dot com. She tweets
Speaker 1: out UH Saints head coach Sean Payton says owner Gail
Speaker 1: Benson is picking up the tap for hotels, meals for
Speaker 1: fam for the families. He says it's been a unique
Speaker 1: environment given circumstances, that he's enjoyed getting you to see
Speaker 1: all the players, kids and their families that they would
Speaker 1: not otherwise get to know as well. So Sean Payton
Speaker 1: has been put in another interesting situation as a head coach,
Speaker 1: and it's good to see Gail Benson is going to
Speaker 1: do her part helped take care of the families, and
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting, you know, if you're the Saints right
Speaker 1: now knowing that you're going to be here for for
Speaker 1: a quarter of the season. I don't know where they're
Speaker 1: staying at right now, but you know where you keeping
Speaker 1: the mat? I mean, do you go to someplace like
Speaker 1: grape Vine? And then also where are you practicing? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think out, yeah, where where are you practicing right now?
Speaker 1: And then the logistics of trying to get that done here, well,
Speaker 1: you you won't be in there. Yeah, I'm done with that.
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, once again, the Saints and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys face each other December second, So some interesting
Speaker 1: situations when you start to think about what's been going
Speaker 1: on around the league and how they affect the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: If you hadn't been paying attention to Denver Teddy Bridgewater
Speaker 1: wins the quarterback job. The Cowboys and the Broncos face
Speaker 1: each other this season, and that game is going to
Speaker 1: be um November seventh, and that game is going to
Speaker 1: be at AT and T Stadium. So there's there's a
Speaker 1: lot of the kind of moving parts there. And you
Speaker 1: go back into the whole thing we're talking about COVID
Speaker 1: in the whole Minnesota quarterback issues. Here Cowboys face Minnesota
Speaker 1: here this year. Um, there's a lot going on here, man,
Speaker 1: across the National Football League that you gotta pay attention
Speaker 1: to and how it affects the Cowboys. Gardner Minshew ends
Speaker 1: up going to Philadelphia in a trade from Jacksonville for
Speaker 1: a late sixth round conditional pick. Here and Philadelphia and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys get it on Monday night. That's the third
Speaker 1: game of the year here at at and T Statum.
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is the guy in Philadelphia. As you say, Jalen,
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting for you to tell me what Jerry
Speaker 1: said about these linebackers. I'm just sitting I'm on the
Speaker 1: edge of my seat. Thank you. As you say. As
Speaker 1: you say, Jalen, I'm just waiting to hear this. I
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta know, okay, Uh yeah, he said top
Speaker 1: three linebackers are Neil Parsons and l V. Those those linebackers,
Speaker 1: those top linebackers team. I mean, I think we all
Speaker 1: knew that. I think we knew that. So there you go.
Speaker 1: So so so what are we gonna do? What we're
Speaker 1: gonna do? I'm not surprised. I mean, we all saw
Speaker 1: the tape out there. We saw what, you know, what
Speaker 1: Parsons was able to do. We've seen what Neil was
Speaker 1: able to do at his linebacker spot. And I don't
Speaker 1: think l Vee took that big of a drop. But
Speaker 1: when we look at Jalen, I mean we didn't. We
Speaker 1: just don't see what we need. He doesn't pop off
Speaker 1: the tape. He doesn't make any big splash plays, and
Speaker 1: too many times have we seen guys kind of just
Speaker 1: running around him, just getting outside of him, running around him?
Speaker 1: Now will he'd be a great depth piece for these
Speaker 1: seventeen games season, of course, But as my boy gonna
Speaker 1: play some special teams or something, I mean, you can't
Speaker 1: just you know, just take a roster spot chilling. We need,
Speaker 1: we need, we need some We got already Malie Cooker,
Speaker 1: who's just gonna play what one special teams? I mean,
Speaker 1: we need some of these guys to get on team.
Speaker 1: Let me take you something we just uh, we had
Speaker 1: Daria Thompson, you know, he's, he's, he's he's lost some
Speaker 1: special teams reps. Okay, so my man Jalen might be
Speaker 1: getting those. Look we know Jens. Jalen's gonna be playing
Speaker 1: special teams for sure. I go back to what I
Speaker 1: said right here on the players, not about Jalen. They're
Speaker 1: seventeen football games. He's going to be on this team
Speaker 1: and they've got a having a stretch of eleven games
Speaker 1: in a row. You're going to need Jalen Smith. You're
Speaker 1: going to need him on your football team. Kean O'Neill.
Speaker 1: These guys have shown you that they don't write them,
Speaker 1: don't write sixteen games down next to their name. They're
Speaker 1: going to be issues. So Jalen is going to help
Speaker 1: your football team. But how bad does that? But how
Speaker 1: bad does that look? How bad does that look when
Speaker 1: your fourth linebacker is making what eight meal? That doesn't? Okay?
Speaker 1: Then look, can I defend Jalen? Can I defend j
Speaker 1: We're not We're not going against Jaylen and we're not
Speaker 1: gonna That's what it is. And I'll defend the team. Okay.
Speaker 1: So when you had to make this decision in March,
Speaker 1: you have Jalen. You got Banderesh and Joe Thomas is gone,
Speaker 1: So you gotta decide, are we going to go with
Speaker 1: jalen Or and pay this man? Are we gonna go
Speaker 1: into the unknown? You didn't know exactly where you were going.
Speaker 1: And while everybody's sitting up here right now giving Parsons
Speaker 1: a thumbs up and they like him, I'm sorry. On
Speaker 1: Draft Day there was a whole lot of folks on
Speaker 1: my Twitter timeline that we're not happy when they saw
Speaker 1: Patrick's Ertan wasn't the pick, that j. C. Horne wasn't
Speaker 1: the pick, or in the case of this one sitting
Speaker 1: over here, that the old boy Slater, the tackle for
Speaker 1: the Northwestern wasn't here. So there was not a whole big,
Speaker 1: receiving line of love for Michael Parsons. Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't because they thought Michael Well, not because I didn't
Speaker 1: think Michael Parson was a good player. I thought that
Speaker 1: we needed a tackle, and if you look at our
Speaker 1: roster now, we talked about this. I'm glad you know
Speaker 1: we got a couple of minutes. I remember we talked
Speaker 1: about those stingers Church and how they're gonna be going
Speaker 1: and bothering you all season. It ain't been one week
Speaker 1: my man was out again with a what another stinger?
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we what are we talking about there?
Speaker 1: So I'm not mad. I don't because I don't because
Speaker 1: I think Michael Parsons is a bad player. But when
Speaker 1: you talk about what we need and what is the
Speaker 1: most obvious thing, Yes, when we missed a tackle, you
Speaker 1: you might as well count that as a lost two church. Okay,
Speaker 1: but but but just that whole premise of going back,
Speaker 1: going back to Jalen, going back into jail. And at
Speaker 1: the time you had two linebackers or on the football
Speaker 1: team that we're proving for you. So it was either
Speaker 1: pay this guy or going to the unknown. They decided
Speaker 1: not to go on the unknown. They signed Neil. There,
Speaker 1: people forget Neil's niels. You know, this is gonna be
Speaker 1: his first game at linebacker for the Cowboys. In terms
Speaker 1: of regular season, he was a safety. But you get
Speaker 1: dan Quinn, he's here and he's shown us so far.
Speaker 1: Then okay, this is a guy who's healthy and can
Speaker 1: help you. So now here's Neil going, you know, going
Speaker 1: above Jaalen Parsons. He's showing you he can adapt that
Speaker 1: he is the real deal. So now he goes above
Speaker 1: Jaalen to me and then I see you see Jabrille Cox,
Speaker 1: young guy, and you're thinking, you know, in two years
Speaker 1: and you can catch this guy up, and he'll to
Speaker 1: me this is this has been a good job of
Speaker 1: the team. And I'm not mad at jail like some fans.
Speaker 1: All you overpaid bum. I'm sorry. He was always limited.
Speaker 1: He was like a non trade clause or something. Okay,
Speaker 1: who is there like a non trade clause or something? Berry?
Speaker 1: Who's would you would you rather would you rather be? Dude?
Speaker 1: Would you rather be four deep at linebacker or at
Speaker 1: least one deep at the tackle position? Dude? Who's trading
Speaker 1: you got backup tackles? Still? And who is trading contract? Nobody? Nobody.
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying. It looks bad right now.
Speaker 1: That's all we're saying. It looks bad right now. Like okay,
Speaker 1: but we four deep our fourth linebacker Niga eight mil
Speaker 1: tell we got we got two backup tackles that who
Speaker 1: knows what's gonna happen with them? No Church bad because
Speaker 1: they wouldn't pay him six and he got to be
Speaker 1: a starter. Ye now they paying a backup eight tell
Speaker 1: tell me, tell me a football team out there that
Speaker 1: doesn't have a guy that they're sitting around here saying,
Speaker 1: we ain't exactly happy with this contract. Um, the Patriots
Speaker 1: about to pay Stephan Gilmore a lot of money and
Speaker 1: he's now gonna be on the physically and physically unable
Speaker 1: to perform. Not the same season. He's gonna call Stefan Gilmore,
Speaker 1: Jalon Smith six weeks. He knows, well, this was no
Speaker 1: last year you was beating on the table for him
Speaker 1: to be the best corner. He's gonna be the best guy.
Speaker 1: Bla blah blah blah, all that stuff, not even the Gilday.
Speaker 1: I'm a fan, but this is also a guy they
Speaker 1: were trying to trade. They were trying to get rid
Speaker 1: of Gilmore. And the issue with Gilmore is this guy
Speaker 1: wants a new contract making a hundred million bucks or
Speaker 1: at least seventeen eighteen a year, and nobody else, nobody
Speaker 1: out there is signing up for this. And so they've
Speaker 1: had their issues. And now here's Gilmore about the miss
Speaker 1: six games, which means hill, mister cowboy game. Um, there
Speaker 1: you go. So so I mean every point being every
Speaker 1: team that can you can go down. Hey, whoa that
Speaker 1: guy's making what every team's got that. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you know or not. Chicago Bears got
Speaker 1: a quarterback making some good, significant money and he's not
Speaker 1: going to do anything for them at all. Every team
Speaker 1: is gonna have a guy Church. You see what new
Speaker 1: we're doing to you, bro he sign of turning. Were
Speaker 1: talking about James. We're talking about a guy who plays six.
Speaker 1: We talk about and let me get back to the
Speaker 1: talking about quarterbacks and quarterbacks the pup. We talked about
Speaker 1: one backus. We ain't talking about backups. We talk about
