Speaker 1: Now your hosts, Barry Church, Anthony dor Said, Demontree More
Speaker 1: and new Eat Scrugs.
Speaker 2: This is the Players Lounges, brought to you each and
Speaker 2: every day by Aristocrat Gaming. Welcome in, Welcome in, where
Speaker 2: we're gonna tell the truth and shame those lies.
Speaker 3: Demontre Moore. Anthony Dorce said, step Poppy.
Speaker 4: Is here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, boys.
Speaker 2: Wilding out here, sitting in for Newie Scrugs all week
Speaker 2: while he's gallivanting around.
Speaker 6: I don't even know what the HELLI on.
Speaker 3: The west outside yea outside be outside.
Speaker 2: Last night, the Green Bay Packers were defeated by the Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: Eagles ten seven, ten seven.
Speaker 2: As as bad as the Eagles have been playing in
Speaker 2: some of these games, they just keep.
Speaker 7: The winds Man pedigree. When they need twenty, they'll get.
Speaker 7: You know, twenty they need to.
Speaker 6: They gonna get.
Speaker 2: And so that takes me, that takes me to my
Speaker 2: first point of about building an identity and the culture
Speaker 2: of winning. Wow said a Live right Because you said it, Barry.
Speaker 2: If they need ten, they get ten, they get If
Speaker 2: they need twenty, they get twenty. If they need to
Speaker 2: go and pass for three hundred yards, they'll pass for
Speaker 2: three hundred yards. If they need to go and and
Speaker 2: handed thing get off, they'll hand it off thirty times.
Speaker 2: If they need to stop, they get a stop. And
Speaker 2: these are the teams, one within our division, the other
Speaker 2: within our conference that you know, Green Bay's in our conference.
Speaker 3: That were chasing right, so to speak.
Speaker 2: And we have to get to and surpassed in order
Speaker 2: to get to the ultimate gold.
Speaker 3: Of being world champions.
Speaker 2: Where is the Cowboys, this new coaching staff, we're halfway
Speaker 2: through the season.
Speaker 3: Where are they at as far.
Speaker 2: As the identity, the culture, the the what can they
Speaker 2: hang their hat on?
Speaker 3: Can they give you ten when it's time to get ten?
Speaker 3: Can they give you.
Speaker 2: Thirty when it's time to get thirty? Can they get
Speaker 2: a stop when it's time to get a stop. Are
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, Barry Church closer to building an identity that
Speaker 2: they can hang their hat on from what you've seen
Speaker 2: so far? And this is for the group to start with, Barry,
Speaker 2: And how far all that away from having it?
Speaker 7: When you talk about what their identity is. I'm gonna
Speaker 7: say it's an offensive identity. I think that's where you know,
Speaker 7: the majority of their horsepower lies is on the offensive
Speaker 7: side of the ball. The thing that you know, kind
Speaker 7: of has me like, man, I thought they was gonna
Speaker 7: get ten wins, but I don't know about it right now.
Speaker 7: Is when you talk about finding ways doing that tune
Speaker 7: and change from yesterday, but finding ways to win no
Speaker 7: matter what it takes. And we've seen from the Dallas
Speaker 7: Cowboys so far this season they're not there yet.
Speaker 6: They're just not there yet.
Speaker 7: They can, you know, score with the best of them,
Speaker 7: but when it comes down to it, maybe it's a
Speaker 7: defensive struggle. Then you'll see, you know, Dak Prescott in
Speaker 7: that offense kind kind of struggle kind of wane a
Speaker 7: little bit. And to me, they don't have a secure
Speaker 7: identity offensively. Yes, they can put up crazy points, but
Speaker 7: we all know that Dak works best when he has
Speaker 7: that balance, when he has that that threat of the run.
Speaker 7: And early in the season, you know, they were feeding
Speaker 7: my man, they were feeding Javonte Williams out there. But
Speaker 7: in these past couple losses, you've seen ten carries, you know,
Speaker 7: thirteen carries and the game hasn't really gotten out of
Speaker 7: hands where you got to abandon the run.
Speaker 6: So to me, I.
Speaker 7: Got to put that part, you know, on the coaching
Speaker 7: staff and play call him because it's starting to kind
Speaker 7: of reminisce what we saw from McCarthy while he was
Speaker 7: here was a guy that lived and died by the past.
Speaker 7: And when we look at you know, dak Pres gotta
Speaker 7: forget what the stat is, but thirty five and over
Speaker 7: past attempts or whatever the case may be, his record
Speaker 7: is not great. It's not great. So we know that
Speaker 7: balance is where they need to be. Offensively, they're just
Speaker 7: not there yet. And defensively, when you look at this
Speaker 7: this defense overall.
Speaker 6: I don't know where they are.
Speaker 7: And you know, a lot of that has to deal
Speaker 7: with the injuries they've had on the back end and
Speaker 7: talent not producing to what they thought it would. You know,
Speaker 7: I think that's a problem here with the Cowboys as well,
Speaker 7: is they think they have more talent than they actually do,
Speaker 7: and they rely on guys that would be with no disrespect,
Speaker 7: would be you know, rotational pieces. Elsewhere they're like, oh,
Speaker 7: we got to put this guy to start lineup.
Speaker 6: He can hold it.
Speaker 7: Down, and it might, you know, hold it down for
Speaker 7: a couple of games here and there, but you'll start
Speaker 7: to see as the season progresses that that level of
Speaker 7: player go down.
Speaker 6: And that's where I see them right now.
Speaker 7: So identity, I think they have to lean on that
Speaker 7: offensive side because that's what a horsepower is.
Speaker 6: But they got to make sure they have.
Speaker 7: A secure identity offensively, not just oh, one day we're
Speaker 7: gonna pass the ball forty times.
Speaker 6: The next day. May maybe we'll share the rock with
Speaker 6: Javonte a little bit here and there.
Speaker 7: They've got to get a more I guess stable situation
Speaker 7: when you talk about it offensively.
Speaker 6: And they got to cut these penalties out.
Speaker 7: I mean that that to me, I mean that was
Speaker 7: just all these pre snap penalties and drive killers. The
Speaker 7: team is not good enough to overcome those. So it's
Speaker 7: a roller coaster from me.
Speaker 2: Speaking of penalty the Cowboys are the number two team
Speaker 2: in the in the National Football and penalties behind the
Speaker 2: Never Broncos. Never Broncos have a winning record. But you know,
Speaker 2: that's what it is, you know, Demontree keeping on the
Speaker 2: same lines of you know, because when you look at
Speaker 2: it and most of the time when you start talking
Speaker 2: about identity.
Speaker 7: You just got that good material.
Speaker 3: That good sheep. Hell, we ain't had money bags.
Speaker 5: It's cold outside.
Speaker 2: But the identity part of this thing is when you
Speaker 2: have an identity, it doesn't matter who's in there or
Speaker 2: who's not in there. You pick up where the last
Speaker 2: person left off.
Speaker 6: Right, Like.
Speaker 2: I had the conversation with my guys are hanging with
Speaker 2: the Boys, and I said, it's I've been around this
Speaker 2: organization since two thousand and nine, and one thing that's
Speaker 2: been constant, both covering in the media and as a
Speaker 2: player on the field. The Cowboys seems as if they
Speaker 2: always have to have everything in perfect order in order
Speaker 2: to be perfectly successful.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: We were a part of teams that if Sean Lee
Speaker 2: went out like one player and the entire defense couldn't function,
Speaker 2: Tyron Smith would go down with a back situation, and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, we did not know how to
Speaker 2: play offense.
Speaker 3: And I watch teams week.
Speaker 2: In and week out, and if there's an identity box,
Speaker 2: they just plug a new player in that box and
Speaker 2: they begin to just pick up. Now, you know, Sam Frank, Right,
Speaker 2: you say, what, no one's gonna be able to replace
Speaker 2: Fred Warner right, he's an elite level talent. But they
Speaker 2: just go back to the physicality or the or the
Speaker 2: mental smarts are there or whatever it is. Maybe that
Speaker 2: doesn't go And so the Montree, when I look at
Speaker 2: what the Cowboys have done this season, it's this level
Speaker 2: of inconsistency, right, It's you know, we can do thirty games,
Speaker 2: I mean thirty points a game, and all of a
Speaker 2: sudden when we need thirty thirty don't show up, you know.
Speaker 3: And defense is a whole another ball of potatoes.
Speaker 2: But my question to you, a part of that is
Speaker 2: how much of it is player? How much of it
Speaker 2: is coach.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna say, honestly, a lot of that has to
Speaker 8: deal with coaching. I think about my tenure playing at
Speaker 8: Sant Franz.
Speaker 5: When we went to the Super Bowl that year.
Speaker 8: You had guys like myself, Ronnie Blair that came off
Speaker 8: the bench, Solomon Thomas that was a part of there,
Speaker 8: the Forest Buckner, Eric Arnstein that were starters. But when
Speaker 8: our starters went out, you had, like I said, guys
Speaker 8: like me and Ronnie still coming off the bench giving
Speaker 8: you sacks, making those big plays. You think about your coaching,
Speaker 8: what Robert Salad was able to be. Kyle Shanahan was
Speaker 8: able to build. And that is the difference that when
Speaker 8: you talk about dating all the way back to two
Speaker 8: thousand and nine, when you said Sean Lee went out,
Speaker 8: Tyren Smith went out, Well think about it. How many
Speaker 8: coaches have they had here since then? And then the
Speaker 8: coaches that were here for a long tenure, did they
Speaker 8: really let them build a culture or were you living
Speaker 8: off past coaches where you living off of those Super
Speaker 8: Bowl rings that everybody's parading around and still showing. And
Speaker 8: so what I see is is not an identity as
Speaker 8: what the team is built, but it's more so what
Speaker 8: the player has built right now. The identity when you ask, oh,
Speaker 8: is it the defense or the offense? You know, the
Speaker 8: identity of this team is in Dac.
Speaker 5: We trust.
Speaker 8: If Dak is doing really good, then guess what Dak
Speaker 8: POWs you up out of there?
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 8: They as much as I want to be so harsh
Speaker 8: and critical on them, you have to think about it.
Speaker 8: They got Dak one extra weapon and now this offense
Speaker 8: isn't losing slack. So with this defense bringing in Kenny
Speaker 8: Clark bringing in another trade with them Williams Quinn, Yeah,
Speaker 8: thank you appreciate that. With Quintin Williams, you wonder, are
Speaker 8: these the two big superstars with Quinton Williams be and
Speaker 8: Sean Lee, and then you can have your Batman and
Speaker 8: robbing with them and build around them. So they might
Speaker 8: be building, they might be one build away. So right
Speaker 8: now it needs to the identity needs to shift from
Speaker 8: being one player to a scheme thing, which I think
Speaker 8: you will have that with the comfortability moving forward with Shoty,
Speaker 8: he's already been here, he's learned from those states and
Speaker 8: this is just his first year, so give him a
Speaker 8: little time.
Speaker 9: But right now, identity is that we trust a d
Speaker 9: Can the Cowboys with the remaining schedule left, can they
Speaker 9: build an identity?
Speaker 3: Can can?
Speaker 2: Because let's be honest, the playoffs are a long shot.
Speaker 2: You'd have to go seven and one, six and two
Speaker 2: in the in the last eight games, right and even
Speaker 2: then it's you got to hope a bunch of other
Speaker 2: people just with the bed right like and that and
Speaker 2: that's uh, it's not out of the rubber possibilities. The
Speaker 2: the realm is just far, far, far far away.
Speaker 10: Right to answer that question, how well, first and foremost,
Speaker 10: like with the with the I guess I'm gonna say this,
Speaker 10: like we know that the identity, like Barry said, it
Speaker 10: has been on offense, and like Tray said, has been
Speaker 10: through Dak all right. And typically when you're thinking of identities,
Speaker 10: we're thinking about the defense, a run game of passing
Speaker 10: game scheme, like you said. Now, what they have a
Speaker 10: chance to do, of course, with the new additions to
Speaker 10: the team, is to bring in some new energy here.
Speaker 10: And that's not hard to do as long as it's
Speaker 10: being done in a proper way.
Speaker 11: So you got two dudes coming.
Speaker 10: In, Quinny Williams being one of the most aggressive d
Speaker 10: linemen in the NFL. All right, that translates, and I
Speaker 10: hope that people are able to feed off of that.
Speaker 10: Then going to that second level with the new linebacker
Speaker 10: coming in, what was the last thing? Always so Logan Wilson.
Speaker 10: And he's a regardless if he lost his starting position
Speaker 10: in Cincinnati.
Speaker 11: If you watch the video on the dude, he's a baller,
Speaker 11: all right.
Speaker 10: He's got good run redes, he knows where he's supposed
Speaker 10: to fit into the defense, and everything else like that.
Speaker 11: So to be able to build an identity, even if.
Speaker 10: It's only at the end of the season to go
Speaker 10: into next year, all right, So like we can't cancel
Speaker 10: out the fact that, Okay, so if they don't make
Speaker 10: it to the playoffs, if they still get on the
Speaker 10: right track, all right, and they're able to get going
Speaker 10: in the right direction to see what they're able to
Speaker 10: do build around these new pieces and these new players,
Speaker 10: so heck, yeah, they can definitely start doing it. Now,
Speaker 10: will it come to fruition and take them further than
Speaker 10: what we think they can.
Speaker 5: Actually go this year? That's a whole different thing.
Speaker 10: But yes, they can establish an identity and get it going.
Speaker 6: Perfect but perfect.
Speaker 7: Example of what Adie's talking about here is you go
Speaker 7: back to Detroit maybe what two three years ago when
Speaker 7: Dan Campbell first was in that joint started out terrible,
Speaker 7: just god awful. I think the last one something like that,
Speaker 7: it was bad. Has what eight games nine games of
Speaker 7: that season. I think they ended up going seven to
Speaker 7: one or something like that, seven and two, and they
Speaker 7: didn't make the playoffs. But you know, they you saw
Speaker 7: that momentum coming, you saw that trend, You saw the physicality,
Speaker 7: the defense, the buying of the players. Fast forward to
Speaker 7: you know that after that Gibbs and I forget who
Speaker 7: else they got in that draft, A couple other pieces.
Speaker 2: They got, yet Brown, like they got some more peaks
Speaker 2: and then now they look they've been a powerhouse for
Speaker 2: the NFC the past couple of years.
Speaker 7: And that's what yeah, and that's what Dallas has a
Speaker 7: chance to do. I mean, you got some draft kick picks,
Speaker 7: you know, available for next year. You got some amo
Speaker 7: coming through the rest of the season. I mean, you
Speaker 7: got to build that momentum.
Speaker 11: But don't you think that.
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, I up in there, but like Dan Campbell
Speaker 10: himself helped create that culture and in his first press conference, we're.
Speaker 11: Doing whatever we got to do. But he was just
Speaker 11: letting us know that's like we're willing.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna create a culture around here that we're going
Speaker 10: to be willing to do whatever text for us to
Speaker 10: be successful and winning games. And that right there, I
Speaker 10: don't care if people laughed and everything else, but that
Speaker 10: fed right into that locker room. That fed right into
Speaker 10: every player in there, and those guys bought into that.
Speaker 10: And just like you said, those last however, many games,
Speaker 10: that trend started to.
Speaker 5: Change and it is still continued to go right now.
Speaker 5: I hate playing for I would have hated it.
Speaker 8: You would have hated no. I love it. I love
Speaker 8: playing for Dan Campbell. I got him when he got.
Speaker 7: Practices, and Dan played dirty against him.
Speaker 8: But what you gotta remember is Dan Campbell is a
Speaker 8: player coach. Like as much as like he talks in
Speaker 8: the media of doing this, he's one of those guys
Speaker 8: that when we're going, we're going, but when we're off,
Speaker 8: we're off. Like he realized when we were playing in
Speaker 8: his first interim head job, he said, guys, ain't no
Speaker 8: point of me beating y'all off. We didn't already did
Speaker 8: train Cam? Why get out of here, dollar reaching That
Speaker 8: was a direct that was a direct quote, and stop
Speaker 8: taking stuff out of it anyway, Like I'm not about
Speaker 8: to beat y'all into the ground, Like I'm just not
Speaker 8: about to keep sitting there and banging the drum. And
Speaker 8: so with that being said, like he pulled the reins off,
Speaker 8: he said, the horses come out the stable.
Speaker 5: It's time to work. Y'all got to grow up and
Speaker 5: stop being childish. This is what's wrong.
Speaker 8: Anyway, it's got that's crazy.
Speaker 5: But you'll mind.
Speaker 3: Whoa boy, You're the gift that keeps on give it
Speaker 3: on this show.
Speaker 8: Baby, I love it, man, I love it.

Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 5: That ain't no anticipation? I like that.
Speaker 2: That's how would coaches say, take it from the meeting
Speaker 2: room to the field. That's what we're talking about. That's
Speaker 2: what we're talking about, right. Yeah, man, This is the
Speaker 2: players and how brought to you by we have Anthony
Speaker 2: Dos said Demontray Moore, Barrier Church, Jesse Holly. And you
Speaker 2: know the one thing, this is the players Lounge, right
Speaker 2: and normally normal Nuwi sits in this seat and while
Speaker 2: he is around players, he's never been in the locker room, right,
Speaker 2: he's never had to put the helmet on and put
Speaker 2: the pads on and go out there and really be
Speaker 2: a part of this thing. And the one thing that
Speaker 2: we all understand and know that there's a level of
Speaker 2: sacrifice that goes into this thing. But on every team
Speaker 2: and every unit on the side of the ball, in
Speaker 2: your specific meeting rooms, there's a leader. There's some dude
Speaker 2: in there that when he speaks, we listen, right, and
Speaker 2: you would you would hope to have that. And then
Speaker 2: definitely on either side of the ball, offensively or defensively,
Speaker 2: there there is an overarching voice that when they speak,
Speaker 2: you know that it's coming from a place of authenticity,
Speaker 2: of sincerity, of just true to what they say. Right,
Speaker 2: They're not just they're not because the camera on people
Speaker 2: or around you know that this dude is a guy
Speaker 2: who what he say here is what he would say
Speaker 2: to you if y'all were sitting there, one on one.
Speaker 2: You're right, and so you respect that. And the Cowboys
Speaker 2: are in a place right now, not only because of
Speaker 2: what they had to deal with with the untimely situation
Speaker 2: last week of the passing of Marshaw Kneeland, but also
Speaker 2: you're three.
Speaker 6: Five and one.
Speaker 2: You're three five and one, and now you're coming off
Speaker 2: of by And we sit here and now with the media,
Speaker 2: we don't gotta believe whether or not they make the
Speaker 2: playoffs and not or they can make a run.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: I could sit here and be objective as I want
Speaker 2: to be, because I don't gotta play on Monday night.
Speaker 3: Right, But we've all.
Speaker 2: Been in that spot where it's us against the world's
Speaker 2: block out the outside noise, forget what they say, and
Speaker 2: it's us all this kind of all of the lingo
Speaker 2: that we use in the locker.
Speaker 3: Room and during these times.
Speaker 2: But who let's take dak aside, because we we already
Speaker 2: know that he is the voice.
Speaker 6: Of the locker room.
Speaker 2: But who are some other guys on this football team
Speaker 2: that these players will be able to look to and
Speaker 2: really get the motivation that we have an opportunity to
Speaker 2: make a run. Ad I'll start with you. And how
Speaker 2: important is that you know?
Speaker 10: One of the things that I've noticed around here is
Speaker 10: that leadership comes to contracts a lot of times around here, Okay,
Speaker 10: and that doesn't always guarantee you maturity or true leadership
Speaker 10: when it comes down to it, you know, And so
Speaker 10: the teams that I've always been a part of that
Speaker 10: have been more you know, more successful teams have been
Speaker 10: the guys who are typically a little bit older on
Speaker 10: the team.
Speaker 5: You got your vets, you know what I mean.
Speaker 10: And so you look at guys and as I'm just
Speaker 10: looking at guys that are in the building, I'm looking
Speaker 10: at a perennial all pro due like Kenny Clark, Like
Speaker 10: at the end of the day, if if he doesn't
Speaker 10: verbalize a whole lot, his play speaks for itself, you
Speaker 10: know what I mean.
Speaker 11: And so you have guys like that.
Speaker 10: And I've played with guys, whether it be a Marcus
Speaker 10: Robertson as a safety or Blame Bishop or you know,
Speaker 10: say Javon Kurs or whoever.
Speaker 11: But typically those guys who are in those.
Speaker 10: Leadership positions or in those positions that are going to
Speaker 10: be doing the talking are going to be the dudes
Speaker 10: that are actually out there making those plays too as well,
Speaker 10: you know. And so as you look around hear and
Speaker 10: like remove that from this situation, okay, on offense, the
Speaker 10: next person that you think might be that guy that
Speaker 10: would have that type of influence would be CD, you know,
Speaker 10: because all pro dude out there, getting the yards, making
Speaker 10: the plays and everything else like that. And then but
Speaker 10: there's really not anybody that you see or you know,
Speaker 10: we're not on the field, we're not in the locker
Speaker 10: room of time, we're not in.
Speaker 5: Any of these meetings.
Speaker 10: So we actually don't know if the body is actually
Speaker 10: even manned up to take that position and take that role.
Speaker 11: You know, you got I'm sorry, you got.
Speaker 5: Clowny in here. Now.
Speaker 11: Who's what how many years has he been in the league?
Speaker 5: Okay, I believe it's eleven, right, And.
Speaker 10: So you look for leadership to come from those from
Speaker 10: those guys, multiple teams, different systems, you know, been on
Speaker 10: winning teams and something that has lost.
Speaker 11: He's seen it all.
Speaker 10: So you would hope that some of that that leadership
Speaker 10: and some of that identity or whatever we're talking about
Speaker 10: here as far as bringing the guys together, would be
Speaker 10: coming from those guys. But you know, outside of Dak,
Speaker 10: who's going to be that guy that's going to speak up?
Speaker 5: You know? And like I said in the beginning, the money.
Speaker 10: Situation here a lot of times dictates where the leadership
Speaker 10: is coming from.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Dawn Trey quinnin Williams, let me check my watch.
Speaker 3: He's been here.
Speaker 2: A week tomorrow, right, seven days from last week?
Speaker 3: Has he been? Has he done enough in this league? Hell?
Speaker 3: Has he been here long enough that when.
Speaker 2: He gets on the practice field this week? Can he
Speaker 2: be the one that all of a sudden now comes
Speaker 2: in and start calling the shots? Can he be like, nah,
Speaker 2: we're doing this, so now we're doing that? And are
Speaker 2: guys going to gravitate to him? Are the Sam Williams
Speaker 2: of the world, Are the Shamar James of the world.
Speaker 2: Are these guys going to follow his lead?
Speaker 3: Has he been? Has he done enough?
Speaker 2: Has he been here long enough and truly step in
Speaker 2: and and and take the man to love? You know
Speaker 2: what was the movie when he you know, I am
Speaker 2: the captain?
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, I'm gonna disagree with Barry on that
Speaker 8: one when I say because one, we got to look
Speaker 8: at all the factors that are playing part in this.
Speaker 8: You're talking about Matt Eberflu's defense and another guy that
Speaker 8: I'm gonna bring in the curveball. But I'm answering your
Speaker 8: question first, Does William Williams have that ability? You darn
Speaker 8: right he does. He is one of the meanest and
Speaker 8: ferocious guys in this league. Your play alone is gonna
Speaker 8: have you having that credibility. And for a defense that's
Speaker 8: been playing pis poor, that is dead last, if not
Speaker 8: second or last. You said they're tied right there with
Speaker 8: Denver and penalties and stuff like that. That's the difference
Speaker 8: between a good team and a team that doesn't have leadership.
Speaker 8: With Quinn coming in, and I think about my time
Speaker 8: in personal experience going down there to Miami seeing the
Speaker 8: Dominica Sue. He went from being over there at the
Speaker 8: Lions to going to the Dolphins to making them his team.
Speaker 8: But you still had a great leader in cam Wait
Speaker 8: that was over there, a young up and coming Olivier Vernon,
Speaker 8: But Sue demanded the respect because he was smart enough.
Speaker 5: To do that. His play did all that.
Speaker 8: And from what I heard about Quinn Williams, he has
Speaker 8: that capability and in the four to three defense ibra
Speaker 8: flus where it's just line up and go straight ahead.
Speaker 8: If he comes in and work hard, of course people
Speaker 8: are going to listen to him because what do you
Speaker 8: want to do. You want to be like the bag.
Speaker 8: So in certain places, yes, the bag has gotten you
Speaker 8: the leadership, but that's one of those guys that aren't
Speaker 8: that leadership and for a defense that's not really that
Speaker 8: good right now, who are you gonna say, Like you said.
Speaker 5: It's going to be Kenny Pickens.
Speaker 8: But in my opinion, the leader on this team that's proven,
Speaker 8: that's already been on this roster, his CD Lamb. He's
Speaker 8: going out there doing it with his play and he's
Speaker 8: talking to the media. We're seeing a whole new CD
Speaker 8: Lamb where we said a new environment can change it
Speaker 8: to where he becomes the leader. And this is where
Speaker 8: my curve ball comes in Logan Logan that we just
Speaker 8: traded for. He's coming into a defense that he's already
Speaker 8: familiar with. Lou runs the same type of defense as
Speaker 8: Matt Eberflus. He was a leader over there before the
Speaker 8: young guy got the playmaker, and he needs a new
Speaker 8: environment for a defense it's not that good, and we
Speaker 8: all know that when your middle linebacker is doing what
Speaker 8: he's doing. With Overshawan not playing right now, he has
Speaker 8: the chance to be that unsung hero to go in there.
Speaker 8: So I'm actually looking at him a lot more than
Speaker 8: Quentin because the back end got to help the front,
Speaker 8: but he's the middle ground to talk to the back
Speaker 8: end and to get Quintin and those Kenny Clark and
Speaker 8: the rest of those guys running.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you know Dominican sue the potential of stopping
Speaker 2: the mud hole, and you didn't hurt. It didn't hurt
Speaker 2: when a domice you knew he'd probably grind you by
Speaker 2: your throat if you and it w welcome.
Speaker 3: Too much you can do about it physically.
Speaker 8: He literally told a coach, he said, they had a
Speaker 8: meeting where he came in there and said, okay, this
Speaker 8: is what we're running. Okay, I like this. I like
Speaker 8: this this right here, don't like that.
Speaker 5: Check that out.
Speaker 8: That's not gonna do good because of my skill set.
Speaker 8: And I'm gonna be here so help me make you better.
Speaker 8: And for him to do that, but he not only
Speaker 8: just did it in a dominant way, he did it
Speaker 8: because he studied the film.
Speaker 5: He knew what was.
Speaker 8: Going there and how it worked. And I could see
Speaker 8: Quinn Williams doing that right now. I think it has
Speaker 8: the potential.
Speaker 10: I think with quinnin coming here, like you said, nah,
Speaker 10: he ain't done enough. I mean he might not done
Speaker 10: nothing in this building yet, he only been here a week.
Speaker 10: But what he's done in his young football career. He's
Speaker 10: he showed that he's that guy, all right, So he's
Speaker 10: him at his position. Okay, Now, when a guy comes
Speaker 10: like and when a dude of that level or that
Speaker 10: stature comes in here and he can raise the bar,
Speaker 10: and he's expecting you to come with him, like, this
Speaker 10: shouldn't really be a whole lot of argument. You know,
Speaker 10: Let's try to raise the level. Let's try to raise
Speaker 10: our bar. Let's get better. You bring guys into the
Speaker 10: locker room that are perennial pros and everything else like
Speaker 10: that for that team to feed off of, and you
Speaker 10: hope that everybody.
Speaker 11: Rises to the occasion.
Speaker 10: So that being said, like I got to disagree with
Speaker 10: that to a little bit of church.
Speaker 11: I hope that they see that and feed off of that.
Speaker 7: So what y'all want to comes to. What y'all want
Speaker 7: to comes to a couple of weeks down the road.
Speaker 7: We three four weeks and we've seen this dude balling
Speaker 7: at an extreme level. He gets the defense, he can
Speaker 7: line guys. I can see all that. But we're talking
Speaker 7: week one coming in here, you know from from the Jets,
Speaker 7: and I get it.
Speaker 6: This dude was just all pro.
Speaker 7: He's a beast but you ain't done nothing here, so
Speaker 7: you expect me to just follow.
Speaker 10: Your Leady's see to me what I don't understand that's
Speaker 10: been going on here for so long, and like I
Speaker 10: don't know where the demise or the drop started as
Speaker 10: far as when it comes to coaching, and then like
Speaker 10: when I hear y'all talk about sometimes like coaches just
Speaker 10: send y'all home, and practice was like this and everything,
Speaker 10: and and it was like that, that whole downward spin
Speaker 10: or whatever was going on. But like if you're waiting
Speaker 10: for something like that's like him coming in here saying, Okay,
Speaker 10: I see y'all ain't got nobody all pro on defense,
Speaker 10: like get rid of everybody. Then that's like him coming
Speaker 10: here calling shots and really being like, hey, well I
Speaker 10: want to hear nothing you got to say, you know
Speaker 10: what I'm saying, because you ain't did nothing like I
Speaker 10: did in the league. But the game ain't built like that. Fortunately,
Speaker 10: it's not built like that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 10: And so as as a team builds, you know, like
Speaker 10: it doesn't, I'm not if he understands the defense, and
Speaker 10: he could come in here and like I don't know
Speaker 10: how familiar he is with EU but what is he
Speaker 10: gonna be doing lining the people up.
Speaker 5: He's gonna put his hand down and turn around and
Speaker 5: start that't That ain't.
Speaker 3: What's gonna have.
Speaker 7: But we all understand if you balling out there and
Speaker 7: people are gonna follow you, so.
Speaker 10: Then then what is the case He's only here because
Speaker 10: he's been balling.
Speaker 7: Okay, we can say that, but we look at that
Speaker 7: just defense Droughut this year.
Speaker 6: It ain't like he was just this dominant force.
Speaker 5: We look at that just team.
Speaker 10: Okay, they didn't have an offense or anything like Dak Prescott.
Speaker 10: They didn't have any complimentary pieces. But we're talking about it,
Speaker 10: but we're talking about a team too as well. If
Speaker 10: the defense was just the only people out there playing
Speaker 10: all game, that would be one thing. But this this
Speaker 10: is a team, okay, and so those pieces that they
Speaker 10: need on offense are already there. They're trying to get
Speaker 10: this defense right, and so they're bringing in these guys.
Speaker 5: And so with that being said.
Speaker 10: I know that they're not going out there making these
Speaker 10: trades mid season, giving their first round draft picks without
Speaker 10: expecting people to come in here with some leadership, expecting
Speaker 10: people to come in here try to help create a
Speaker 10: new identity or whatever it is to get this thing
Speaker 10: back on the right track.
Speaker 8: I still disagree with you as saying he can't come
Speaker 8: in early within the week and be a leader, But
Speaker 8: I get what you're trying to say and saying, hey,
Speaker 8: if he comes in here barking orders within this first week, yeah,
Speaker 8: as a player, I'm going to buck the system to
Speaker 8: be like, bro, you just got here to learning. But
Speaker 8: because it's a pride thing, it's a thing, and that's
Speaker 8: just And then on top of that, for me, in
Speaker 8: a system that I don't trust myself, I don't trust
Speaker 8: people that's already been in the system.
Speaker 5: How do I trust somebody?
Speaker 8: Because, like I said, it's different with the linebacker that
Speaker 8: I mentioned, he's coming from a four to three wide
Speaker 8: system going into that. Quinn Williams is coming from a
Speaker 8: three to four multiple over there where they switched. Yeah,
Speaker 8: they go to the four man front. But he got
Speaker 8: outside stand up in outside linebackers. Michael Parson is talent
Speaker 8: standing up rushing. So this is a different schematics why.
Speaker 8: But where I say that he can be a leader
Speaker 8: is just going out there and work like if he's
Speaker 8: over here and saying, hey, I ain't did this, but
Speaker 8: he's the first one in the building, the last one
Speaker 8: in and he's studying. He's up there with the defensive coordinator. Hey, coach,
Speaker 8: I want to know this so I can be ready
Speaker 8: for this week as a young guy or another leader
Speaker 8: on the team. I'm gonna say that guy has been
Speaker 8: a pro bowler and he's doing what it takes to
Speaker 8: get there, and so he can lead by his actions
Speaker 8: within the first week to make somebody fall.
Speaker 10: But he's football players, real football players that are Now.
Speaker 10: I don't mean to cut good, but you talk about
Speaker 10: just get dirt, you put your hand in the dirt
Speaker 10: and let's go.
Speaker 11: He seemed like he got that traite som coming.
Speaker 8: See him making quotable. He hasn't been statistically or historically
Speaker 8: in the past one of those guys that's been in
Speaker 8: the media talking doing all the hip hop. He did
Speaker 8: it with his playing. So that's why I think he
Speaker 8: can come in and be a leader.
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying is just by example.
Speaker 7: There's no reason to come in here and barking orders
Speaker 7: of this guy, barking orders to that got it.
Speaker 10: There's no reasons a y'all. Y'all talking about barking we
Speaker 10: ain't talking about. It doesn't have to be a bark
Speaker 10: lead by example, But a person asking for you to
Speaker 10: make a play doesn't have to bark at you, and
Speaker 10: it doesn't have to be personal. It ain't got nothing
Speaker 10: to do with the ego or none of that personal stuff.
Speaker 10: If I asked for you to make a play on
Speaker 10: the field, I ain't asking you to make it because
Speaker 10: I need you to make it. We need you to
Speaker 10: make it. It's the accountability amongst all of us. And so,
Speaker 10: like that being said, if Michael Jordan comes into the
Speaker 10: locker room on your team, you've seen how great he
Speaker 10: didn't been, and he started coming in and asking stuff,
Speaker 10: you're gonna be like.
Speaker 5: Man, listen, Mike, he ain't did nothing. He ain't did
Speaker 5: enough here yet, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10: Like he ain't did nothing for the Cowboys yet, Like nah,
Speaker 10: like you have respect for that player off of what
Speaker 10: he's built.
Speaker 5: Before he get in the door.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I get it like that from And I just
Speaker 10: don't want it to seem like somebody got to bark
Speaker 10: at you or yell at you to get you to
Speaker 10: be you know, like to get you to lineup right
Speaker 10: or anything like that. I played with Steve McNair. I
Speaker 10: never heard the dude yell at nobody, but he had
Speaker 10: the respect of everybody.
Speaker 6: That's fine. I mean we get it.
Speaker 7: We get like if you go out there and, like
Speaker 7: I said, you leading by example and you balling out,
Speaker 7: then then that's one thing.
Speaker 6: I get it.
Speaker 7: I get it, and not everybody is is a vocal
Speaker 7: leader out there. You know, I understand that thing. That
Speaker 7: regard for it.
Speaker 10: My only thing is just go out there and earn
Speaker 10: it first. He hasn't proved himself before he got here
Speaker 10: for you yet to do.
Speaker 7: What like, That's what I'm saying, Like, if he's going
Speaker 7: out there in balling, he hasn't believed himself as a
Speaker 7: football player to you yet he's proved himself as a
Speaker 7: football player. But let me let me switch the narrative
Speaker 7: and ask this, because I think we're all saying the
Speaker 7: same thing. But let me ask you this, Barry, have
Speaker 7: you ever been I know I can say I have
Speaker 7: because I've been a part of nine teams throughout my
Speaker 7: team year, playing the multiple teams, and you have to
Speaker 7: have you ever just been into a room or situation
Speaker 7: where you brought it and you two Jesse speak on it.
Speaker 7: Have you seen a free agent signing that. It was like, man,
Speaker 7: as soon as he got here day one, Oh he's
Speaker 7: going to be a leader. All he's that guy. Like
Speaker 7: he's showing it.
Speaker 8: Like I feel like George Pickens gave you that energy
Speaker 8: when he got there. He didn't say nothing to the media,
Speaker 8: but within his first week, the way that he was
Speaker 8: approaching the game with deck and stuff like that, it
Speaker 8: was like, he's going to be one of our leader and
Speaker 8: now is showing later down the line.
Speaker 6: But oh yeah, Mark Cooper.
Speaker 7: When they traded for Mark Cooper, he switched up the
Speaker 7: whole offense and they galvanized and went to the playoffs
Speaker 7: and did all that.
Speaker 6: I think is one thing. It's great to be.
Speaker 7: But not all all pros, not all ballers are leaders.
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean we all do that. There's plenty
Speaker 7: of examples out there. I played with a guy and
Speaker 7: Daniz Bryant, who was one of the best raid receivers
Speaker 7: in the whole game.
Speaker 6: Was he a leader?
Speaker 5: Hell no?
Speaker 6: You know what I mean.
Speaker 7: Like, all I'm saying is you could ball out and
Speaker 7: do your thing, man, And when it comes to football,
Speaker 7: we all stand between the white lines.
Speaker 6: Do you do diligence, do everything great.
Speaker 7: But just because you an unbelievable baller doesn't automatically guarantee
Speaker 7: you to be the leader on a specific team, your market.
Speaker 2: Whether you're barking out the orders or you're showing it
Speaker 2: on the field. Either way, the Cowboys are gonna need
Speaker 2: some of that, uh to finish out the rest of year.
Speaker 2: Right need town, They're gonna need, They're gonna need all
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 11: Why not try to follow somebody else.
Speaker 10: We didn't seen what they didn't did following whoever, they
Speaker 10: didn't follow us so far.
Speaker 6: They're gonna need it.
Speaker 7: So uh.
Speaker 2: With that, we'll take our last break of the show.
Speaker 2: When we come back. We've all talked about the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Need to make a run.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: We're gonna go down the schedule of the last eight
Speaker 2: games of the season. If we're kind of just gonna
Speaker 2: get we're gonna get a feel of what you got,
Speaker 2: whether or not the Cowboys will be able to pull
Speaker 2: these victories off to put themselves in position. This is

Speaker 5: We want Santa I like Santana. Yeah.
Speaker 2: This is the players that have brought to you by
Speaker 2: Aristocrat Gaming, said the money Bore Barry Church of Jesse
Speaker 2: Holly for former NFL players, And as we begin to
Speaker 2: embark on the second half of this NFL season for
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys, right now, they sit at three five
Speaker 2: and one, and they are.
Speaker 3: They're long ways away from making the playoffs. They're a
Speaker 3: long way aways from what happened.
Speaker 5: And they start with him with your question.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, uh today as they sit, if the playoffs
Speaker 2: started today, they will be out of the playoffs.
Speaker 5: You know that.
Speaker 2: But there's still time and they are not mathematicallytically today
Speaker 2: three five to one, they are still still not mathematically eliminated.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: And so the Cowboys coming off this by two, three, four, five, six, seven,
Speaker 2: eight games left, I want to go through the schedule
Speaker 2: game by game and give you an opportunity be as
Speaker 2: optimistic as you want, as real as you want, be
Speaker 2: as honest as.
Speaker 11: You want, get seven more Church.
Speaker 3: They come about this now.
Speaker 2: Most most people are saying right now, if things continue
Speaker 2: to go to the same that the Cowboys need to
Speaker 2: get the ten wins. Ten wins kind of put you
Speaker 2: seriously in consideration of making.
Speaker 6: Them, make them playoffs. That's that's the best.
Speaker 3: Ten wins kind of puts you in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: So right now, sitting at five three, five and one,
Speaker 2: you gotta find a way to get seven out of the.
Speaker 10: Next eight, you know, And that one I've been asking
Speaker 10: so like that, I've been trying to figure out how
Speaker 10: that one and it's going to that that tie is
Speaker 10: going to materialize itself, is going to play out. And
Speaker 10: now that green Bay I think has beaten the team
Speaker 10: that that that they both played. The Cowboys and Green
Speaker 10: Bay have played the same team. Green Bay has that
Speaker 10: win over them.
Speaker 2: Like, so what ends up happening is if it comes
Speaker 2: down to it, and I did the simulation on my
Speaker 2: other show, but if it comes down to it and
Speaker 2: the Cowboys and the green Bay Packers both finished with
Speaker 2: the same record. Because of that tie, another team would
Speaker 2: jump them, so Green Bay would be out and the Cowboys.
Speaker 5: Yoh wow. It worked like that, so I.
Speaker 3: Forgot what the team was I do.
Speaker 2: So let's just go through this and the Cowboys coming
Speaker 2: off the boy there on the road this Monday night
Speaker 2: playing against the Vegas Raiders, Barry Church, start with you
Speaker 2: because everyone said start with you.
Speaker 6: Barry.
Speaker 3: The Cowboys. Can the Cowboys go up to Vegas to
Speaker 3: get that?
Speaker 5: Dumb?
Speaker 3: Can that cannot be the first win that they get?
Speaker 7: It better be man. But I said the same thing
Speaker 7: about Arizona, you know what I mean? So it's like, man,
Speaker 7: can they yes about anything about Chicago?
Speaker 6: Same thing about Carolina Carolina?
Speaker 7: Like it's like, you got the talent to beat these dudes,
Speaker 7: it's just that winning, that winning atmosphere or knowing how
Speaker 7: to close the book. We've yet to see that from
Speaker 7: the Cowboys so far this season. So my confidence in
Speaker 7: that Vegas win. I mean, you got Geno Smith at
Speaker 7: the quarterback. I mean, you talent, got a trump this,
Speaker 7: Like you gotta be able to go out there and
Speaker 7: get this dub Like just you.
Speaker 6: Gotta be able to do that.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 6: So yes, I'm saying yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes.
Speaker 8: Talent wise, you say Cowboys, but I'm going to say, no.
Speaker 3: They lose to Vegas.
Speaker 11: Vegas is biting it for them to get out of
Speaker 11: the Vegas.
Speaker 5: They're desperate right now.
Speaker 3: They lose, the Vegas is done.
Speaker 8: Yes, I think I just see them being This is
Speaker 8: that one game we always give everybody those games.
Speaker 5: I hope it's not ad. I don't have any faith
Speaker 5: in the Cowboys. I don't. I don't.
Speaker 11: I don't have any faith in the Cowboys winning another
Speaker 11: game this season.
Speaker 6: Another game.
Speaker 10: This host going to say, let's let's let's look at it,
Speaker 10: because because I've been part of the bandwagon for a
Speaker 10: little bit, you know what I'm saying. I was always
Speaker 10: impartial to the Cowboys, but I got up in the
Speaker 10: building and I got a little bit more like favorite
Speaker 10: towards them. And and I'm not just looking at it
Speaker 10: from from from the right scope. I like to say,
Speaker 10: all right, so there's there's no trust in it, all right, Chicago.
Speaker 10: Like we said already, the teams that we've said that
Speaker 10: they should be, they don't go out and beat all right.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 10: The one thing that I do have that they can
Speaker 10: hang their hat on this week is new energy on
Speaker 10: defense from those two. And so with that being said,
Speaker 10: I don't know what type of curve ball that's going
Speaker 10: to actually throw into you know, with what the Vegas
Speaker 10: Raiders are doing, you know what I mean. But at
Speaker 10: the same time, like it's it's one of those things
Speaker 10: whereas I'm not optimistic about them beating my former team,
Speaker 10: but I'm optimistic about the Cowboys and these trades actually
Speaker 10: leading to something positive.
Speaker 3: Okay, we have we have a dub and two l's
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 2: Then following Sunday it is the at home the Philadelphia
Speaker 2: Eagles come to town.
Speaker 6: Barry See, that's that's gonna be the the that's one.
Speaker 7: That's the one you if they that's the last L
Speaker 7: they can take before ten wins is out of the boat.
Speaker 7: So Philly in Dallas and you know division game, we
Speaker 7: understand how that all works. Man, And uh, I gotta say, yeah, man.
Speaker 6: So they win. I got to okay, I got so.
Speaker 5: I got the winning this one.
Speaker 8: Dallas plays to their competition majority of the time, and
Speaker 8: I think with Eagles coming in, they know it's a
Speaker 8: do or die situation. I see them getting that win
Speaker 8: and it's not going to be just the first week,
Speaker 8: but it'll be the second week of having your new
Speaker 8: parts back, the young guys supposed to be coming in.
Speaker 8: We're gonna see if we get Overshawn back. So with
Speaker 8: all these defensive guys, I think that's going to be
Speaker 8: the weekend where Cowboys fans they get they win and
Speaker 8: they say, oh, we're back in and we beating the
Speaker 8: number one team in our division.
Speaker 5: So it's a win.
Speaker 10: Hey, let me real quick question to Chris in the back.

Speaker 10: to do our.
Speaker 5: So here we go. I'm with him that on that
Speaker 5: week two.
Speaker 10: All right, they got week two of the new dudes
Speaker 10: being in here, seeing how they're gonna play on the defense,
Speaker 10: seeing actually what they'll be able to do. All Right,
Speaker 10: Philly has been banged up a little bit, ain't been
Speaker 10: able to get their offense together, and like we mentioned before.
Speaker 5: They'll do whatever it takes.
Speaker 10: If they got to beat you by half a point,
Speaker 10: they'll figure out a way to beat you by half
Speaker 10: a point. Now, all that being said, yeah, you know,
Speaker 10: and and I'm a defensive player, so you know, I'm
Speaker 10: a ride with the defense all the time. And I
Speaker 10: just think that like hopefully by that week that there's
Speaker 10: something that's showing that the Cowboys are on the upward swing.
