<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. It wasn't good for me. It wasn't good

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 1>for my blood. You know, I had high blood pressure

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>all that good stuff. So I had to get off

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>of that narcotic man. But I will say this, man,

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>we got a chance. We got a chance. Man. I

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>tried to tell y'all we got a chance. Man, y'all,

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>y'all doubt as long as y'all want to, But we

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>got a chance. That's all I'm gonna say. Man, I'm

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>not here to rant glow, just here to say we

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>gotta you're glowing enough. You got an NC NFC East Championship,

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>had on. What are you talking about? You you're talking

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>about this right here? Oh you're talking about this. Oh man,

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about this NFC. Yeah, you know, it's just

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>a little, a little early gift. Someone saying I'm not

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>too supposed to give that away. It didn't didn't guarante

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>say give that to somebody. I thought you're supposed to

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>get that happen. It's memories, man, it's memories. It's all memories.

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>So you didn't you didn't do what the coach asked

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>you to do, did you. Huh Nah? I can't do that, man.

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>So so so so let me get this correct alright,

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>So you're not back on the kool aid, but you

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>win your NFC East Champ had to insinuate that we're

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>going to win the NFC Championship, but we just got

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a chance. I just want to make sure we clear

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>on this one. I'm saying. What I'm saying is I think,

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>like I said last week, we got a we got

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>a low chance to get to the playoffs. All right,

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say thirty five percent chance to get to

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs because we don't control our own destiny. And

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>what those guys are doing up in Washington, I just

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 1>don't see them losing all three of their final games.

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 1>They got to probably the best front seven in football

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>right now, so I don't think they're gonna lose all

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>their three games up there, And that just leads me

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>for this. I'm gonna think. I think we're gonna go

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>seven and nine, like I predicted last week. I think

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna win these final games, but we're gonna be

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>out of the playoffs just because Washington's gonna end up

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>winning one of those two, even if Haskins is at

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback position. Okay, all right, Okay, so so you're

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of this seems to me, McCray, Is this a

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>half measure by Church like he's got one. Okay, it's

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>a half measure. That's what I thought. What you're talking about,

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:25.399
<v Speaker 1>what you're talking about hands, it's called hedging your miss

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>that's all you're doing. We were feeling you, though, we

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>got you what you mid. I admitted. I admitted last week, Hey,

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably gonna be wrong on us going to the playoffs.

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I admitted it. I said, hey, I'm gonna end up

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Owen McCray a snake from Nick and Sam's. I admit that.

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>But what I did say is seven and nine is coming, man,

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>seven and nine is coming. And y'all wrote it all

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>off like it was nothing. McCarthy can't win back to back.

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Ain't did that since two thy seventeen. All right, all right,

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>middle boy, many look at you saying okay, now all right.

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>So so so I'm going to ask this. First off,

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, the win and the way they won, good

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to see complimentary football. Okay, four turnovers, twenty four points

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>off the turnovers defense created three of them. How should

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I look at this game? Because I talked about this

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>last night on NBC five. Do I look at it

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>as it's wins against the Bengals and wins against the

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>forty nine Ers quarterback by Nick Lullins and the Bengals.

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I forgot who quarterback there? Who? Who quarterbacks from McCrae,

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>who rank? Okay, okay, so so yeah, so so do

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I look at it that way, because I mean, I'm sorry,

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Nick Mullins was was dark. He might as well just

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>pointed at dudes before he threw it to you and

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>threw the ball. I mean, that was that was some

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>terrible quarterbacking. That was a terrible quarterbacking. Man m one

0:04:54.000 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 1>saying that on Friday. You actually you did say that

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.719
<v Speaker 1>on Friday. You said that on Friday. Know, you said,

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>if they have to throw the ball, then Nick Mullins

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>is going to throw the ball to the opposing team's defense.

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 1>We know what You're I'm looking. I'm going back and

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at my notes and it says right here,

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.599
<v Speaker 1>Nick Mullins turnover machine interceptions in five straight games, twelve

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>turnovers in the last five games for the forty nine

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Ers as a team. So when when I did talk about,

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, what needed to happen, and I did say, okay,

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.280
<v Speaker 1>thank you, Yeah, I appreciate you, Danny, because you're not

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.039
<v Speaker 1>jargon my memory. Because I did say this is the

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>only statistic we need to know, and it was twelve

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>turnovers and that the forty nineers are a turnover machine.

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>That was the whole and Dallas ended up getting four

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>of them. But mullins, he was worse than I thought.

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this guy really is. This is a bad guy.

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And if Kyle Shannahan brings him back next year, I'm

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>shocked because I've seen everything I need to see out

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>of this dude. This dude's bad and he's not getting better. Okay,

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:01.359
<v Speaker 1>he's not getting better at all. Look, look, listen, listen.

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm all for the win. It's as a matter of fact,

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>it may not sound like I'm happy as we go

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.479
<v Speaker 1>throughout this show, but anytime you can get a win,

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I will continue to repeat this. Any win in the NFL,

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>NFL it's earned and deserved. Let me walk out of

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>there with the duba I will now. Now, I will

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>say this, if you talk about a team you like,

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>as much bad luck as we've had over these last

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>few weeks, it's some good luck that have been rolling

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>our way. If you talk about the injuries that some

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 1>of these teams sustained throughout the game, when we're playing them.

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about some high impact players get hurt during

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the game and it helps us, you know, be able

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to play offense or defense. I'll tell you what. When

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Morstat went out, I was like, all right, you know,

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe the next guy comes in and he does the

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 1>same thing, because you know, when you play against the Cowboys,

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>it's it's put whoever in there and they can run

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the ball. And then the second team running back went down,

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.479
<v Speaker 1>and then we Tevin Coleman and yep, and then you

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 1>see and then you see Mullers have to go out

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>there and try to throw the ball. And I was like, well,

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>here it is because one thing about it. We were

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>not stopping to run. But that injury saved us and

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>helped us. And I take it. Whatever whatever happens throughout

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the game, you have to be able to adjust. And

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the forty nine ers weren't able to do that and

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Nick Mullins kind of burying them. But we've had some

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 1>good luck throughout this season, especially these last few games.

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Call it what you want. You can say what you

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>won't say we played against Mullin better. You can call

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>it luck saying Mozart went out. Whatever you want to

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>call it. I don't care that Cowboys did what they

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>had to do and they got the dove. Did they

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>stop absolutely that they gave up four hundred and fifty

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>some yards. Yes, and Mike, Mike, no one's on his

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>way out. Of course, he's on his way out. But

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what, the Cowboys did what they had to do.

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Tony Poller came in there, shows some juice out of

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.239
<v Speaker 1>the backfield, receiving the ball, running the ball as well.

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>That offensive line, that offensive line, I gat to give

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>him a little kudos because I mean I wear on

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 1>them time and time again. But they played pretty well.

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>They kept Andy Dalton up right, they kept holes for

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 1>for Tpter run through in and the other running back

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I think his name is Rico dow Well, if I'm

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>not a butchering NKO down from South Carolina. He was able,

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>he was able to perform well. And you know what,

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>they didn't get their playmakers the ball. I think Almari

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Cooper only had two catches. But Cede Lamb Ceedee Lamb

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>showed out once again and he's becoming that number one

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>threat as as this season progressing. As his rookie season's progressing,

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>and this guy is becoming more and more of a guy.

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>And I could see him taking over that number one

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>role next next year. But overall, it was a great

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>team win, even the special teams. The special team showed up.

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was. It was just an all around

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>great victory for the Dallas Cowboys. And I will say this,

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.959
<v Speaker 1>I think Chris Jones punted his last ball as a

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Cowboys because that guy we got back there at

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the punting, a new founder or new Wander, whatever his

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 1>name is. He's down in those things like a like

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a like a golf like a golfer man. He's just

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.559
<v Speaker 1>checking it up right by the hole. He played great,

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>great overall team under miss Wander. Come on, miss w

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:05.839
<v Speaker 1>miss Wander. That's what it. Come on. Listen, my man

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 1>on the kool ai and no nobody on the roster.

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>The boy was right, because your boy right, it's all good.

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a church. He's not gonna be able to get off.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:17.839
<v Speaker 1>You're not gonna be able to be like a key

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.600

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>He was terrible. He was terrible. I don't can't you

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>hear this from that? He wasn't. No, he wasn't terrible. Okay,

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.839

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.800

0:09:55.960 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>entertained you in the feud. Hello, I was you know

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 1>what I listen. You know, I'm not gonna say I'm

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.559
<v Speaker 1>not gonna get on the kids to leave man in

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>his stories on the fifth you know, I didn't hear it,

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>but but I can't. I heard him when he was

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>when he commentated against the chroche, so I can imagine,

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.080
<v Speaker 1>you know what what was going on on that broadcast.

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>And he was trending on Twitter, so I knew it

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 1>must have been something crazy going on. Yeah, it's never

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>a good thing to keep trending. The kid kept it real,

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 1>that was all. He just kept it real. And he

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.959
<v Speaker 1>had on Christmas suit. You know it was it was

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a Michael Irvin special. It was a special Okay, the

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 1>green the green suit, you know, the plaid on there,

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the jack plaid in the red tie. So anyway, he's

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>getting the names right church. You gotta get their names,

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Rico down all Okay, you gotta get the names right here.

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>That's what this thing is all about here, Okay, all

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 1>about because I'm right, man, hey Son knew it, KNEWI listen,

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you started off the season talking about my man d

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>law and I told you that he was going to

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 1>show up. He's worth the bread. Now. He might not

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>have the twelve or thirteen sexs that I called him

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 1>out for. No, but he's been playing playing, He's been

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 1>playing his tail off for the last few games, and

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 1>he's been playing amazing. Earning that check. That's that's that

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 1>he's getting paid, unlike a couple of other guys that's

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 1>on the roster. About to say, he might be the

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 1>only one earning that check on the day. I feel

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>like this is a side swipe at me, Danny. I

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like I feel like you just tried to take

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Definitely was a saw. It was definitely, And I'll simply

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>go back and stand on this merit that I've said

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 1>all alone. When you get the rickest richest contract in

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys history. There are expectations that come with it. Last year,

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the expectations were not met, and so coming into this year,

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just simply asking for the expectations and for the

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 1>player to be the player who got that check. I'm

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 1>not asking for anything other than that, Okay. I mean,

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it's the same thing that we asked for any big

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 1>time athlete. When you get that the money is hey

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>play up to the contract. Playing to the contract, that's

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>all I listen, listen, you said that, And then last

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 1>week I heard you talking about people saying Zeke is

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.559
<v Speaker 1>having you know, for all that's going on him, averaging

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>sixty yards a game is okay because all this stuff

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>going on on the offense. So I'm just saying, if

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna do that at the d Law hits five sex,

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.080
<v Speaker 1>then you got to do that, Zeke and hit sixty

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.120
<v Speaker 1>yards a game. And then you also got to do

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that to a man coop out here getting two catches,

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 1>two catches, three targets of the game too. All right,

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.440
<v Speaker 1>leave law Law. He is outperforming the rest of the

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 1>dudes that got these big time contracts on the roster. Wow.

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Think he's outperforming the other guys in his same tax bracket.

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>You tell me on our roster, okay, on our roster.

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I want you to go pull a tape here, Okay,

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 1>please go pulls to tape. What have I said he

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been worth the money when I talk about Zeke

0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>saying hey, well, I think I don't think Zeke is

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote problem and a guy that wasn't worth away

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 1>or a guy who shouldn't have said ab I haven't

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.199
<v Speaker 1>said that about Tank. I just said when you that

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you have to live up to what they want from

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 1>when you. Okay, that's what I've said. That's we said.

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.560
<v Speaker 1>No as as coming out of last year, you said

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>that he did it, and I'm saying going into next year,

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I just need to hear the same stuff about Zeke.

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I need to hear the same stuff about Coop. And

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to hear about d Law because the

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.960
<v Speaker 1>way he's closing about the season, he's bringing bringing it

0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:34.680
<v Speaker 1>into next year. That's all I'm saying. Okay, here's the

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>different one of the big differences for Tank versus Zeke

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and Cooper, and I come back to what you have

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>said here. Danny McCray on the players lives coming. Kellen

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Moore does not use these guys properly. You know, it's

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different for a guy like Tank versus

0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>these guys now obviously, and I said it last week.

0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Any defense, it doesn't have Tank lords the vault, did

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>it defensive coordinated? It needs to be fired. That's a

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.559
<v Speaker 1>fireball offense right there. And you got a base package

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 1>and you're telling Tank to run off the field. But

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the first play against the Bengals for Doran's Armstrong, that's

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a misuse of the town. But you can't sit up

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 1>here say that Ezekiel Elliot and Amory Cooper have been

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>used properly. We can't see. And you have to think

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.440
<v Speaker 1>about that when you start talking about the use of

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the money. I do not believe that Kelly Moore has

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 1>used these two guys correctly. What how many targets and

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Cooper have yesterday? Let me say, let me tell it

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 1>he had. He had three targets yesterday, two catches for

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 1>ten yards. I watched the third down play where he

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 1>had single coverage on Richard Sherman and I'm like, okay,

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Andy Dalton, throw it over here to Coop. Let Coop

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 1>go make a play doesn't happen. I'm sitting here later

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 1>on watching the Cardinals game. What do I see? I

0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>see Kyler Murray throwing it over here? DeAndre Hockeins would

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 1>due dreed out over the end. Zoe went out there

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and made a play. Come on, man, come on, okay, listen,

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and you're better say that. I'm really became because I'm

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna bring it low, because I'm gonna bring I bring

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 1>up by Church in because this will happen. Now you're

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about Zeke and not being used correctly, and I

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>listen and Church has been on this too. How many

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 1>times to do fumbled this season? How many times is

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 1>he giving the ball away? When you're talking about performance,

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you're also talking about being able to be reliable holding

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 1>on to the ball. Some of those games where he fumbled,

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>they snatched him out and then they let Tony Poler

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 1>get in. And if you watch the game yesterday, you

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 1>start the question yourself and say, man, which one of

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>our running backs and member performing the best in the season.

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm going I'm going TP now I'm Aari Cooper. Yeah,

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand, listen, I don't I don't understand, you know,

0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm lost for words with the SamArt Cooper situation. He's

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 1>on a fantasy team, like I said, and uh, I'm

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna luckily scratch out to win. But as I watched this,

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, oh, I don't know, man. Noah Brown

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 1>got in there and got more targets to coop. Ceedee

0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Lamb got more targets to coop. The tight end got

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>more targets to coop. Tony Powler got more targets. Listen,

0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 1>if you name you can name him on the roster.

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.520
<v Speaker 1>They had no targets to coople this game. But it

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make any sense. But at the end of the day,

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 1>we won the game. Like at the end of the day,

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 1>we won, And maybe that's the new formula. Maybe that's

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the new formula for us to just spread the wealth around,

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 1>get the tight ends involved, get Tony Pollan involved, getting

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Noah Brown involved. It said Wilson, I don't know what

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 1>it is, but we how many yards if we have

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 1>all I'm all for it. I'm all forty how many

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 1>yards that we have offen could have we could have

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 1>had ten yards on offense. No, but but that's what

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. But that's what I'm saying you're not gonna

0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 1>win that. You're not gonna win many games that way

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 1>by by our defense getting four turnovers, you know, giving

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>giving an offense to ball on our own terry, I

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 1>mean in the defense territory each time. That stuff not

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. You have to find a way to be

0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 1>able to make long drives on offense consistently and traded.

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 1>We played the game, it's not gonna happen. You have

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 1>to be able to get your star players involved or

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna win. You know, the really significant games, right,

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 1>you'll beat the forty nine like that, You'll you'll beat

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota like that sometimes. But when you get into some

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>real competitive games and you're not able to sustain long

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.719
<v Speaker 1>drives and get these players involved, you ain't gonna win.

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just not gonna happen. And I'm Mark Cooper getting

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.639
<v Speaker 1>to the three targets and two catches, but nine yards.

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.919
<v Speaker 1>The dude needed four catches to break his own personal record.

0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Could even get it this game, couldn't even get it.

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe in Philly, maybe see And and and that's the mad part.

0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a possibility that the man still might not

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.400
<v Speaker 1>even break his own personal catch record and he needs too,

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I believe, and he still might not even do that

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:41.880
<v Speaker 1>in Philly. Don't make no sense, it makes It makes

0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 1>absolutely zero sense to me. And that is the biggest

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 1>one hundred million dollars suck to me that I've seen.

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 1>You look at the numbers and all that, you say, oh, yeah,

0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 1>the dude got this many catches this video. You watch

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>the game. It ain't the same like new he said.

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.880
<v Speaker 1>You look at the hop yesterday. You look at Metcalf,

0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you look at look at Calvin Riddard, you look at

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.679
<v Speaker 1>whole look at these guys, and you watch the games

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.560
<v Speaker 1>and you can see that their numbers match up with

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>what you see when were you watching on the film.

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.239
<v Speaker 1>When you look at Coop, it doesn't match up. And

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.119
<v Speaker 1>it's not his fault in my opinion. All right, all right,

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 1>let's take a break. Gotta take a break. Okay, take

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:19.199

<v Speaker 1>time Cowboys reporter joined by former Cowboys safety's Danny McCray

0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and Barry Church. Tony Polyde started for Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:13.120
<v Speaker 1>out with a calf injury, did not play. Tony Poler

0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:15.680
<v Speaker 1>with a one hundred and thirty two total yards of offense,

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:21.200
<v Speaker 1>had two rushing touchdowns and looked very good social media buzzes.

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.400
<v Speaker 1>They were trying to figure out ways to cut Ezekiel Eli.

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 1>People are double with Zekiel all out Tony Powder. Obviously

0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:31.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel that way, but uh, you know, Danny McCrae,

0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you've been on your soap box running people down, So

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:39.520
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, go down and rundown. Listen. I've been on

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.520
<v Speaker 1>this show many times saying Zeke deserves all the money

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>that he got. And I've been on this show saying

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that Keller Moore doesn't know how to use the guy,

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.560
<v Speaker 1>even coming into the season saying, yeah, we're gonna get

0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 1>this dude the vault. He out there running routes. And

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.359
<v Speaker 1>then I watched the game and I'm saying, this is

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:58.120
<v Speaker 1>what I thought that they were gonna do when Zeke

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:00.600
<v Speaker 1>they the one the ball to Tony Poler, he running

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the ball, all these creative ways to give him about

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 1>especially in the first drive, it was Tony Pollard the

0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:06.879
<v Speaker 1>whole drive and I'm looking like you got a ninety

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:09.119
<v Speaker 1>million dollars running back and you said that you were

0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:10.879
<v Speaker 1>going to have him involved in the passing game, in

0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the running game, this is what I envisioned for. And

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 1>then soon as Zeke is out, this is the game

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>player that you put it for Tony Pollard. It was

0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 1>very confusing. So I don't know if it's something that

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:22.239
<v Speaker 1>they don't feel like Zeke can do, or that they

0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:24.240
<v Speaker 1>thought he was that he could do before they actually

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:26.119
<v Speaker 1>seen him on the field, or what's going on. But

0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:28.520
<v Speaker 1>what I see from Tony Pollard is what I expect

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to see expected to see from Zeke as far as

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>creativity and getting them involved in the in the game.

0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Zeke deserves his bread. Tony Poller got out there and

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:39.120
<v Speaker 1>did it for a game. Nothing against him, But we've

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>seen Zeke be the workhouse for many years and I

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 1>think he still has that in him. This year had

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.040
<v Speaker 1>lived up to it with the fumbles. Uh, you know,

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:47.919
<v Speaker 1>other than that, his use has just been off. But me.

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm just big on him with how many times he's

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 1>fumbling the ball, But I still think I think he

0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 1>still has it. Yeah, look, I think I think Zeke's

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, he deserves the money. How he got I mean,

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, he was a workhorse back for since he's

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.080
<v Speaker 1>been in the NFL. But I don't think it's not

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 1>fair to ask the question, has has Tony Poller looked

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 1>better than Zeke this year? I think he has. I mean,

0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>so far, when we give Zeke the ball, the ten

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:12.159
<v Speaker 1>or twelve, we do give him a game. I mean

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>there's three or four yards in a cloud of dust.

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I think his as longest running this season has been

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:18.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty six yards, and during that run he looked like

0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>he could have got tracked down by d Lyman. So

0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna sit here and act like this guy's

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:26.240
<v Speaker 1>he's he's Christian McCaffrey, or he's he got all the juice.

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:28.880
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't. Right now, he looks more like a fullback

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 1>than a running back, and Tony poll looks a little

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 1>bit better than he does, looks like he has a

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit more, looks a little bit better out of

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:37.240
<v Speaker 1>the backfield. I mean, I'm not I don't think I'm

0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:42.520
<v Speaker 1>telling any lies out here. When we see t I

0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:49.400
<v Speaker 1>ain't gonna go that far. He's called Mary breaks when

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:52.760
<v Speaker 1>he's got his long breaks. Man, he hasn't looked as

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:55.000
<v Speaker 1>fast as he had in the past. I don't think

0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a I don't think that's an unfair judgment. I

0:23:57.040 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's an unfair judgment like that the black

0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:09.840
<v Speaker 1>cow use check. You called it the black collar man.

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:15.120
<v Speaker 1>You can't say nothing on this show, y'all will take

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:19.920
<v Speaker 1>something with it. When he was out there, he has

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.120
<v Speaker 1>not looked as fast as he's had in the past.

0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 1>And Tony Pollard looked like he has a little bit

0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 1>more juice. That's all I'm saying. I mean this dude, okay,

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:29.480
<v Speaker 1>but coming to the game is dude eighth in the

0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:31.879
<v Speaker 1>league In Russian you called him a full back. Wow,

0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:34.160
<v Speaker 1>just a tough craw You guys are tough today. Man,

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:36.159
<v Speaker 1>you got a tough crow said he looked like a

0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:41.439
<v Speaker 1>full back. Tough, tough four yards in the cloud of dust.

0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 1>That's what we've gotten so far. He not better than Tony,

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Tony Poler, not better than Zeke. But I'm

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:50.879
<v Speaker 1>still on that he's not better than Zeke. That's like

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>the Jude, that's like the Juju Smith thing. Right when

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 1>when Antny o'brown left, you realize that Juju Smith really

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:58.000
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a number one receiver. He was kind of feeding

0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 1>off the fact that Antonio o'brown was get so much attention.

0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the same thing that's going on with TP.

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 1>No offense to him, but he's still not Zeke and

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have a body of work that says so

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 1>either okay, so what do you make of the people

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:14.959
<v Speaker 1>saying cut him or get out the contract? I mean,

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 1>what are your thoughts on that? Mccraig. I got the

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 1>same thought. If Keller's not going to find a way

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>to utilize him correctly and he's gonna come out with

0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:25.560
<v Speaker 1>all the creative stuff when Tony Pollard gets in the game,

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 1>then you got to find a way to move on

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:30.399
<v Speaker 1>because other than that, you're just seeing ninety million dollars

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:32.800
<v Speaker 1>to a guy into a guy that you're not really

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.199
<v Speaker 1>taking advantage of it. It makes no sense to me.

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:37.200
<v Speaker 1>So you either got to find a way to use

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:39.200
<v Speaker 1>him and let Kelly Moore know that this is what

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:41.439
<v Speaker 1>we want to see from Zeke, or you know, some

0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of these people might be right. Then if you're gonna

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 1>utilize Tony Pollard in a better way to use Z,

0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:48.080
<v Speaker 1>then find a way to move on from or get

0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:51.040
<v Speaker 1>something to return from him for him. I just don't

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:53.359
<v Speaker 1>see how we can get out of this deal. I mean,

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:56.479
<v Speaker 1>it's it is, he's lied. I feel like he's locked

0:25:56.560 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 1>up until at least twenty twenty twenty three. So I

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 1>don't know how we can get out of this deal.

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:03.000
<v Speaker 1>And I don't see anybody trading for him to get

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 1>a ninety million dollars running back. I just don't see

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:06.920
<v Speaker 1>it happening. So, like you said, Danny, I think we're

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:08.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to just stick with this guy. We're gonna

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 1>see what he has to do next year when he

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:12.600
<v Speaker 1>gets a full, healthy offensive line, and hopefully if Kellen

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:14.920
<v Speaker 1>his back, he has a better game plan implemented to

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 1>get the most out of Ze. So let me this question. Okay,

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 1>let me ask this question here, because you guys have

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:24.119
<v Speaker 1>been in the locker room and you have been around

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 1>players who've had down teasons, would it be prooting for

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:34.679
<v Speaker 1>the head coach and even the owner, Gerald Wayne Jones,

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:38.160
<v Speaker 1>to come out and say, look, last year, Zy that's

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 1>a bad year. We don't blame it all on you.

0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:45.960
<v Speaker 1>We had issues, offensive line issues, quarterback issues, but you

0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:49.440
<v Speaker 1>need to be better for us in twenty twenty one.

0:26:50.480 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything wrong with them saying that? Because around

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:58.399
<v Speaker 1>here nobody ever wants to tell anybody they've had a

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 1>down you and if you how tell somebody they had

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:05.240
<v Speaker 1>a down year, you're hating or you're not respecting them.

0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:08.679
<v Speaker 1>As I the charge was leveled against me about what

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I said about Tank Lawrence. When you look at dudes

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 1>and just say, hey man, I need you to be

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:15.240
<v Speaker 1>better because you can be better. And oh, by the way,

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 1>what have we seen when Tank turns it on in place?

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>This a better football team. If Ezekiel Elliott plays better

0:27:21.000 --> 0:27:22.640
<v Speaker 1>and gets it on, guests, what I think we'll see.

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I think we'll see a better football team. But who's

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:27.119
<v Speaker 1>the person that can come out here actually say the

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:29.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty one Hey, bro, that ain't what we paid for.

0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:32.440
<v Speaker 1>You're right, I think it's got to be upper management.

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I think they because it's not like they're telling lies.

0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:36.439
<v Speaker 1>They're being honest with him and saying, hey, look, you

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:39.159
<v Speaker 1>had a down year. And I think he even himself

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:41.199
<v Speaker 1>would admit, like Hey, it's not the best year that

0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I've had out here with it in a Dallas Cowboys uniform,

0:27:43.560 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 1>and I can be better. And I think that's what

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:47.720
<v Speaker 1>they need to tell him this offseason. They need to

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:49.080
<v Speaker 1>get it in this head, like, look, man, we need

0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you to be that workhorse. We need you to be

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 1>that guy once again, and we're gonna ride with you

0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:55.600
<v Speaker 1>because look, I mean, it's all coming down to how

0:27:55.600 --> 0:27:57.239
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be able to respond to this. I mean

0:27:57.280 --> 0:27:59.359
<v Speaker 1>there's two ways that can happen. They can tell them this.

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:01.080
<v Speaker 1>They can break them to him like this, and he

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 1>can go on the shell piled about it and just

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:05.480
<v Speaker 1>become a worst player. Or he can feed off of

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:07.359
<v Speaker 1>that oh saying, oh they think I lost it, they

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 1>think I don't got it anymore, they don't think I

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:10.080
<v Speaker 1>got the juice, and he can go out there and

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:12.359
<v Speaker 1>prove them wrong. So I think it could go both ways.

0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 1>But knowing Zike, I think he'll feed off of that

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and become a better running back. Let me tell you something,

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 1>whatever room they sit him down there and talk to

0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:21.920
<v Speaker 1>him about you better have killing more Mike McCarthy in

0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:24.280
<v Speaker 1>there and get on the same speech. You need to

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 1>utilize this guy the way they we're paying them, because,

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:29.600
<v Speaker 1>like I said, it's not all on him. When you

0:28:29.640 --> 0:28:31.399
<v Speaker 1>get on the seat, you say, hey man, we need

0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you to hold onto the ball. The number one thing

0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:35.280
<v Speaker 1>we need you to do, and the number one setback

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 1>that you had this year was fumbling the football. That

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:40.480
<v Speaker 1>calls us to have to put Tony Poulin in because

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 1>at certain points we couldn't trust you in the game.

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:44.760
<v Speaker 1>That is the number one thing that you need to fix.

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Other than that, the offensive coordinator, head coach, they need

0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 1>to find a way to utilize you and your skills

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:56.280
<v Speaker 1>to your maximum ability. So they need to have Zeke

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>whoever the offensive coordinator is, Kelling or Mike McCarthy in there,

0:28:59.880 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 1>and they need to have a group conversation. Zeke needs

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:05.200
<v Speaker 1>to take some honors and the coaches need to take

0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:08.200
<v Speaker 1>some honors on this as well. All right, let's take

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 1>a break when we come back. There was one player

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 1>yesterday that I looked at and I said, maybe this

0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:18.800
<v Speaker 1>guy has a starting role for this defense next year.

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's dive into that next and NEWI scrugs along with

<v Speaker 1>Hotels dot Call, Barry Church, Danny McCrae, what's up when

0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 1>we think about next year? It's Donovan Wilson, a guy

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 1>you look at who can be a starter for your

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:23.600
<v Speaker 1>defense next year at safety. Go ahead, d mack Uh,

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:27.720
<v Speaker 1>listen the way that he's played this year. I would say, yes, Um,

0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you could keep both of those guys

0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 1>back there, So you still have to bring in a

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 1>venturing guy us. He's made some plays, and I think

0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that he has the potential to be a starter. I

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:41.000
<v Speaker 1>would still have him come in and compete. Uh, you

0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 1>know what a veteran guy see if he could beat

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 1>him out. But I think from what we've seen from

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>him as long as he continues to get better, he

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:51.000
<v Speaker 1>has the possibility to be a starter. Yeah, I'm with

0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:53.920
<v Speaker 1>McCray on this one. Um, he definitely has the possibility

0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:55.920
<v Speaker 1>to be a starter, as you've seen him out there

0:32:55.960 --> 0:32:58.920
<v Speaker 1>flashing making plays, and it's not just you know, wanting

0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:01.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, one play here, one player there. It's been

0:33:01.280 --> 0:33:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks. I mean it started in Minnesota

0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:05.200
<v Speaker 1>when he was striking guys out there and causing fumbles,

0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and in this week we see his coverage skills in

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the back end, being able to break on passes and

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:12.240
<v Speaker 1>read quarterbacks eyes back there. So he's not just a

0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>box safety or one dimensional safety that you can play

0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 1>is basically an extra linebacker. This guy has talent. He

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:19.479
<v Speaker 1>has talent in the coverage, and he has talent when

0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:21.480
<v Speaker 1>he strikes opponents, and he has talent in the run game.

0:33:21.560 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 1>So for me, he can be a future starter. And

0:33:23.760 --> 0:33:26.040
<v Speaker 1>he's young, and he's young, and he's coachable. You don't

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 1>see this guy really out there blowing coverages, making big

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:31.560
<v Speaker 1>time mistakes like we've seen in the past. This guy,

0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I think he has it. Do you think he has

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the ability to be one of the better safeties in

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:36.440
<v Speaker 1>this league? But it's gonna take a little bit of

0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 1>time and better coaching, and I feel like he'll be

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:44.160
<v Speaker 1>able to do it. So this is true. He's very

0:33:44.240 --> 0:33:47.720
<v Speaker 1>cheak right now. So let me ask this question to

0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you guys, because when I was watching him in preseason

0:33:51.480 --> 0:33:53.200
<v Speaker 1>action and you guys, hey, here's the guy who's making

0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:55.920
<v Speaker 1>some plays. But they never looked at it. You know,

0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:58.600
<v Speaker 1>they go this offseason, they go give Akaha Clinton Dick's

0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:01.280
<v Speaker 1>money and they say, hey, wen, go it again. And

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:03.800
<v Speaker 1>then they had Darrey Thompson. So why is it taking

0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:08.239
<v Speaker 1>so long for them to see things that? Yeah, I

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and other media people, you know, people like Dave Helmett,

0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:13.600
<v Speaker 1>people who watch this team are saying, hey, man, that

0:34:13.680 --> 0:34:17.479
<v Speaker 1>that guy's making plays here. How Come? How come it's

0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 1>taking so long for them to see what other people

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 1>are seeing? And we're not trained professionals, you know, these coaches.

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 1>It's the safety position. I mean we all noticed going back,

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:31.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, since I think who was the last safety

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:34.600
<v Speaker 1>they paid around here? Ken Hamlin. I feel like it's

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 1>just the safety position and this organization, and it's this

0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:41.399
<v Speaker 1>organization they just devalue that position. I don't know why.

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 1>We've seen it over time and time again that safeties

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:46.399
<v Speaker 1>can make a huge impact on a defense. Look at

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Tyrn Matthew with the Kansas City Chiefs, look at due

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:51.800
<v Speaker 1>to Baker's doing in Arizona and when Earl Thomas was

0:34:51.840 --> 0:34:54.000
<v Speaker 1>in his prime. I mean, the safety position can have

0:34:54.040 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 1>a huge impact. But for some reason, if Dallas Cowboys,

0:34:57.200 --> 0:34:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why, they just do not value this position.

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:01.360
<v Speaker 1>They feel like they can just plug and play anybody

0:35:01.360 --> 0:35:03.239
<v Speaker 1>in there. And we've seen it hurt this team in

0:35:03.239 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the past and hurt this defense. So for me, they

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:07.600
<v Speaker 1>need to take a stronger look at Wilson and feel

0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 1>like he can be the starter going forward. Yeah, and

0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:14.080
<v Speaker 1>then and then then for me, I think sometimes what

0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:17.759
<v Speaker 1>happens is a player of practice is different than they play, right,

0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:19.880
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes what you see it practice isn't what you

0:35:19.920 --> 0:35:21.800
<v Speaker 1>see on the field. So I think once he was

0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:24.160
<v Speaker 1>able to get on the field and actually make those plays,

0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 1>and he was able and they were able to see

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:27.359
<v Speaker 1>that he was out there and he could make them consistently,

0:35:28.239 --> 0:35:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I think they kind of threw the practice take to

0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the side and was like, this guy's a true baller.

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:34.839
<v Speaker 1>He can do this on a consistent basis. That's that's

0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the only thing that I can see, you know, especially

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:38.920
<v Speaker 1>since they don't really let us in and you know,

0:35:38.920 --> 0:35:41.319
<v Speaker 1>to see practice or getting any details or what's really

0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:43.440
<v Speaker 1>going on out there. So that I mean, that's the

0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:48.279
<v Speaker 1>only thing I can come up with in my mind. Okay, um,

0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:51.160
<v Speaker 1>all right. So so I just wondered because I think

0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:54.720
<v Speaker 1>that he's that guy that, um you look at it,

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, with Xavier Woods coming up to it right now,

0:35:57.200 --> 0:35:59.799
<v Speaker 1>I would not I would not resign him. And you know,

0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:02.600
<v Speaker 1>looking at a player and Wilson, who you get cheaper?

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:06.520
<v Speaker 1>And do you go back and revisit in Earl Thomas

0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:10.239
<v Speaker 1>if you're the Cowboys, because now you have the ability

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to set the price you want for it. Earld Thomas,

0:36:14.360 --> 0:36:18.120
<v Speaker 1>who did not play football this year. No, I don't

0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:19.759
<v Speaker 1>think you go in that role. I don't think you

0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:22.280
<v Speaker 1>go with a you know, a very high price veteran

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:24.600
<v Speaker 1>free agent out there. I think you go with a

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:27.480
<v Speaker 1>lesser known commodity, maybe a Trey Boston if he's up,

0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:29.719
<v Speaker 1>somebody in that realm where they're not gonna cost you

0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:31.319
<v Speaker 1>an arm and a leg to sign them. But they're

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:33.840
<v Speaker 1>very good as far as leadership and being a quarterback

0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:35.600
<v Speaker 1>of the defense. Because that's all I think that they

0:36:35.640 --> 0:36:37.319
<v Speaker 1>need back there in the secondary. I think they got

0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:39.600
<v Speaker 1>their striker, I think they got their playmaker and Wilson.

0:36:39.840 --> 0:36:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I think the last key piece missing in that secondary

0:36:42.440 --> 0:36:44.000
<v Speaker 1>is a guy to put all the pieces together, the

0:36:44.040 --> 0:36:45.880
<v Speaker 1>guy that's back there kind of like a Sean Lee,

0:36:45.960 --> 0:36:47.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of like a quarterback of the defense, to get

0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:49.960
<v Speaker 1>these guys lined up and let them let their playmaking

0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:52.520
<v Speaker 1>ability go ahead and go ahead and be out there

0:36:52.560 --> 0:36:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and be great. So for me, I just think they

0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:55.880
<v Speaker 1>need a quarterback back there, and you can get that

0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:59.480
<v Speaker 1>for relative and cheap. Yeah, And I think it really

0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:02.759
<v Speaker 1>depends on the defensive coordinator and what type of scheme

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:05.800
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to run, because the safety position has evolved

0:37:05.840 --> 0:37:09.000
<v Speaker 1>into guys blitzing off the edge, some guys covering some

0:37:09.040 --> 0:37:10.919
<v Speaker 1>guy's free rum, and some guys playing in the middle

0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 1>of some guys playing in the box. So you just

0:37:12.719 --> 0:37:14.279
<v Speaker 1>need to find out what type of scheme you're gonna

0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:16.480
<v Speaker 1>run and what type of player fits that fits that

0:37:16.560 --> 0:37:18.640
<v Speaker 1>scheme best before you just kind of go out there

0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 1>and just just throw anyone in there. Because all safeties

0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:25.040
<v Speaker 1>are different. All of them specializes in something different and

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:28.359
<v Speaker 1>they can maximize their opportunities in different ways. So find

0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:30.960
<v Speaker 1>out what you're doing defensively, find out what scheme you're running,

0:37:31.080 --> 0:37:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and then pick a player that fits that scheme, because

0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 1>it's obvious that that players don't come first defensively in

0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:40.080
<v Speaker 1>terms of who fits the scheme or we're just going

0:37:40.080 --> 0:37:41.600
<v Speaker 1>based off what the players can do and making a

0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:46.640
<v Speaker 1>scheme fit around them. All Right, tough tough day for

0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Team Tank on Sunday, Cowboys win. Get the five wins

0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:54.760
<v Speaker 1>this year. So Dallas went from having the fourth overall

0:37:54.800 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 1>pick before the win over the forty nine ers to

0:37:56.840 --> 0:38:00.279
<v Speaker 1>winning the game now having the eighth overall pick in

0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the NFL draft with two games to go, So doubled

0:38:04.920 --> 0:38:08.920
<v Speaker 1>up from four to eight. And it's gonna keep dropping.

0:38:08.920 --> 0:38:13.239
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna keep dropping because I'm telling y'all, man, these

0:38:13.320 --> 0:38:15.600
<v Speaker 1>last two games Philly, New York, I believe we got

0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:18.080
<v Speaker 1>whichever order that is, they're gonna get you two games.

0:38:18.120 --> 0:38:21.640
<v Speaker 1>So you think they're gonna end up probably picking fifteen

0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:24.239
<v Speaker 1>ish sixteen ish. And I don't know if Team Take

0:38:24.320 --> 0:38:26.239
<v Speaker 1>loves that. I don't know if the Dallas for Worth

0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:30.240
<v Speaker 1>loves that, but that's what's gonna happen. Well, Jalen Hurts

0:38:30.320 --> 0:38:33.600
<v Speaker 1>is going to start for the Eagles on Sunday at

0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Jerry World. Their head coach Doug Peterson confirmed it. Lake Vanderesh,

0:38:38.239 --> 0:38:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys linebacker, underwent an MRI on Monday to confirm a

0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:45.560
<v Speaker 1>ligament issue, but it's possible that he could play on

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Sunday ligament in his ankles. So look, the Cowboys are

0:38:51.520 --> 0:38:54.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna have an issue with this young fella here. Four

0:38:54.680 --> 0:38:58.239
<v Speaker 1>hundred and one total yards against Arizona, three hundred thirty

0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:00.320
<v Speaker 1>eight yards on the road, three touchdowns, and then he

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:02.880
<v Speaker 1>ran the ball sixty three times I should say eleven

0:39:03.160 --> 0:39:06.000
<v Speaker 1>times for sixty three yards, had a touchdown rush. So

0:39:06.200 --> 0:39:09.879
<v Speaker 1>this is basically another Lamar Jackson type situation. And Mike

0:39:09.960 --> 0:39:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Nolan didn't exactly call a really good defensive game when

0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:17.440
<v Speaker 1>they played Baltimore. And that's just being kind. So Church,

0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:19.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you look, this is a tough this

0:39:19.800 --> 0:39:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a battle if Philadelphia's favorite in this game, by the way, yeah,

0:39:23.640 --> 0:39:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you're right. And this out of these last two games,

0:39:26.000 --> 0:39:27.960
<v Speaker 1>this is the game that pretty much scares me, man,

0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:30.239
<v Speaker 1>because I thought we were gonna have hurtson or wins

0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:32.200
<v Speaker 1>in there, but he seems that he's gonna be riding

0:39:32.239 --> 0:39:34.359
<v Speaker 1>the pine for the rest of this year. Hurts, Man,

0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:37.400
<v Speaker 1>he looks good. He looks good, and against Arizona they

0:39:37.440 --> 0:39:39.480
<v Speaker 1>were trying to bring the pressure and he's just he

0:39:39.560 --> 0:39:42.799
<v Speaker 1>has this cool kind of calm, collected just feel about him.

0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 1>He just feels like he's beyond his years as a rookie.

0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 1>When he goes out there, He's moving the pocket, he's

0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:49.600
<v Speaker 1>good on the run, and he's a lot more accurate

0:39:49.760 --> 0:39:51.800
<v Speaker 1>than I thought he was coming into this NFL. So

0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 1>for me, this game scares me, man, because not only

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:56.640
<v Speaker 1>can you know, can Hurts you know, bring out the

0:39:56.680 --> 0:39:58.880
<v Speaker 1>best of these receivers, but he seemed to bring the

0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 1>best out of mouse Sam who you know this year,

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's been up and down for him, but

0:40:02.880 --> 0:40:05.600
<v Speaker 1>with that added threat of Hurts's legs, it seemed that

0:40:05.680 --> 0:40:08.400
<v Speaker 1>read option with Miles Sanders has come alive in Philadelphia.

0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:11.880
<v Speaker 1>So this game scares me overall. And plus Philadelphia's defense,

0:40:11.960 --> 0:40:14.040
<v Speaker 1>they still got that front seven, and that front seven

0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:16.520
<v Speaker 1>can get after the quarterback with Cox and those boys.

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:18.120
<v Speaker 1>So for me that this game scares me, But I

0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:20.919
<v Speaker 1>still I still got them boys coming out on top.

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:23.040
<v Speaker 1>We went in three straight. We went in three straight.

0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:25.720
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna go seven to nine. Count on it. Listen,

0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna go ahead and continue

0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:30.880
<v Speaker 1>where I lived off with Jalen Hurts. And listen, the

0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:34.440
<v Speaker 1>greatest thing for this dude because he is battle tested,

0:40:34.719 --> 0:40:37.440
<v Speaker 1>he's been through the Alabama lost his job, went to Oklahoma,

0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and the best thing for me to see is Jalen

0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Hurts performed better than two of which I wanted that

0:40:43.600 --> 0:40:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to be happened in the National Championship to where Oklahoma.

0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:48.880
<v Speaker 1>We're going there and beat Alabama. But we're gonna see it.

0:40:48.920 --> 0:40:51.640
<v Speaker 1>In the NFL. Jalen Hurts is out there playing cool,

0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:55.480
<v Speaker 1>calm and collected, and knew he compared to the Lamar Jackson.

0:40:55.560 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting there saying he throws a ton better than

0:40:58.120 --> 0:41:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson. Right now, we have our hands full with

0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:04.279
<v Speaker 1>this We have our hands full with this guy. Yes,

0:41:04.719 --> 0:41:10.279
<v Speaker 1>he throws better than Lamar Jackson. Look, I wasn't comparing him.

0:41:10.320 --> 0:41:13.080
<v Speaker 1>It's I was because I was contrasting the game that

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:16.319
<v Speaker 1>the game plan they had against Baltimore. That's what I'm

0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:18.399
<v Speaker 1>talking about with Lamar Jackson and what they were doing.

0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:20.680
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not I'm not comparing the quarterbacks at all.

0:41:20.880 --> 0:41:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just comparing that they had to go up against

0:41:23.239 --> 0:41:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback, a running quarterback, and a team they wanted

0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to run the ball if you got another one in

0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the game. Playing against Baltimore was bad. So I'm not

0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:35.799
<v Speaker 1>comparing the two quarterbacks at all. Okay, Hurt Jayleen Hurt

0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:38.399
<v Speaker 1>Jen is a cute dog, so you know I'm gonna

0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:40.279
<v Speaker 1>beat I'm a dad for my boy. Came down for

0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:43.880
<v Speaker 1>dad for the dog team. So no, no listen, and

0:41:44.040 --> 0:41:46.160
<v Speaker 1>and and and and and I said to this extent

0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:48.719
<v Speaker 1>to the fact that Jalen Hurts is less of a

0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:53.600
<v Speaker 1>scrambling quarterback then than Lamar Jackson. The game is less

0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:57.080
<v Speaker 1>tailored for him to run quarterback powers and quarterback sweeps

0:41:57.280 --> 0:41:59.680
<v Speaker 1>than it is when you play a team like Baltimore.

0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:02.280
<v Speaker 1>This guy is going to drop back and then create

0:42:02.360 --> 0:42:04.680
<v Speaker 1>those plays, kind of more like Russell Wilson. After he

0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:06.640
<v Speaker 1>dropped back, he doesn't see it, then he's gonna make

0:42:06.680 --> 0:42:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that smart decision to take off and run versus when

0:42:08.520 --> 0:42:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you play at Lamar Jackson, it's probably run first and

0:42:12.160 --> 0:42:16.399
<v Speaker 1>make sure you're on your keys and then defend the past. Well,

0:42:17.080 --> 0:42:21.800
<v Speaker 1>late Vanderesh's ability to and I've never had an ankle

0:42:21.880 --> 0:42:24.200
<v Speaker 1>ligament situation. Maybe one you guys have, but it just

0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:26.160
<v Speaker 1>seems to me when you're playing a team where you

0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:28.960
<v Speaker 1>got to worry about the quarterback using his legs and

0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:31.480
<v Speaker 1>as a linebacker, that could be that could be a tough,

0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:35.279
<v Speaker 1>tough go for Vanderes to really be ready and get

0:42:35.360 --> 0:42:38.200
<v Speaker 1>down on Sunday. So it may be seeing more Sean Lee,

0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:40.839
<v Speaker 1>which we saw yesterday when Vanderesh had the league football game.

0:42:41.520 --> 0:42:44.239
<v Speaker 1>If I'm vander esh Man, make sure you healthy before

0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:46.560
<v Speaker 1>you come in there, because the worst tag you want

0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:49.520
<v Speaker 1>in your NFL career, especially as early as his NFL career,

0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:51.640
<v Speaker 1>is you don't want that injury label. You don't want

0:42:51.680 --> 0:42:54.000
<v Speaker 1>them guys to say, hey, he can't stay healthy. He's

0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:56.200
<v Speaker 1>just a rotational piece. So if I'm late in, man,

0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:58.400
<v Speaker 1>make sure you're healthy because you don't need any more

0:42:58.440 --> 0:43:02.719
<v Speaker 1>setbacks this year. Speaking of that, do you pick up

0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:04.920
<v Speaker 1>do you pick up his fifth year option? If you're

0:43:04.960 --> 0:43:12.239
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys? Oh that's ad you go ahead McCray on

0:43:12.320 --> 0:43:17.879
<v Speaker 1>this one. I don't know, go ahead, listen. I was wrong.

0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I was wrong. I was wrong on lv Um this

0:43:21.760 --> 0:43:24.880
<v Speaker 1>season because I had no faith in him to be

0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:26.640
<v Speaker 1>able to come back from the neck injury and then

0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:29.759
<v Speaker 1>the columbone injury, and he's he's proving me wrong. Um

0:43:29.920 --> 0:43:32.080
<v Speaker 1>as far as his play on the field when he's healthy,

0:43:32.640 --> 0:43:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I think you still have an opportunity to see some

0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:37.400
<v Speaker 1>great things from him. So it is a it's a

0:43:37.560 --> 0:43:40.359
<v Speaker 1>tough question to ask an answer, but as a right now,

0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:46.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say yes here, yeah, go ahead, go ahead.

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Here's my okay, this is just my my, my point

0:43:50.000 --> 0:43:54.319
<v Speaker 1>on Vanagh. When the new defensive coordinator comes in here,

0:43:54.320 --> 0:43:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to really know do you put him back

0:43:57.640 --> 0:44:00.480
<v Speaker 1>out of outside linebacker when he had a Pro Bowl

0:44:00.520 --> 0:44:03.840
<v Speaker 1>season when he looked more comfortable, versus putting him at

0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:06.040
<v Speaker 1>middle linebacker where guys had a neck issue and you're

0:44:06.080 --> 0:44:08.880
<v Speaker 1>out here banging in the guys. I would love to

0:44:08.920 --> 0:44:10.839
<v Speaker 1>see right out of the game. Where do you play

0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:15.879
<v Speaker 1>the play? This is true, This is true. I don't

0:44:15.880 --> 0:44:17.680
<v Speaker 1>think he's durable enough to play in that middle. And

0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:20.399
<v Speaker 1>that's what we've seen so far. That middle linebacker. You've

0:44:20.400 --> 0:44:22.320
<v Speaker 1>got to be stouting here because you're taking on pulling

0:44:22.400 --> 0:44:25.680
<v Speaker 1>guards fullbacks each and every down. And look, he has

0:44:25.719 --> 0:44:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a size to do it. But these soft tissue injuries

0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:30.800
<v Speaker 1>his neck problems have. He might be better suited on

0:44:30.840 --> 0:44:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the outside, where he can use his hands more and

0:44:32.680 --> 0:44:34.680
<v Speaker 1>he can use his speed to get around blocks. In

0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:37.239
<v Speaker 1>that middle, you gotta be straight, head on bam every

0:44:37.320 --> 0:44:40.640
<v Speaker 1>single playing. I don't know if he's built for that well.

0:44:41.120 --> 0:44:42.880
<v Speaker 1>To help new Ye out, I think a real important

0:44:42.880 --> 0:44:45.200
<v Speaker 1>part of playing middle linebacker is having a defensive line

0:44:45.239 --> 0:44:47.000
<v Speaker 1>in front of you that kind of keeps you, keeps

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:48.719
<v Speaker 1>you clean and allows you to see stuff and go

0:44:48.800 --> 0:44:51.439
<v Speaker 1>attack blockers instead of taking them all you know, five

0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:55.960
<v Speaker 1>yards in your defensive backfield. So you fix the d lineup,

0:44:56.040 --> 0:44:57.640
<v Speaker 1>make sure that they are on their p's and ques.

0:44:57.640 --> 0:44:59.360
<v Speaker 1>And I think it will help v out playing in

0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the middle of that's what they have him at. All right,

0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 1>all right, but still yes or no on picking up

0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:11.359
<v Speaker 1>the fifth year option. Oh, I'm I must say yes.

0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say yes. Give him one more year, just

0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:17.200
<v Speaker 1>full health. Hopefully he's healthy for the entire year and

0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:19.080
<v Speaker 1>he's able to get back to that two thousand and

0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:21.160
<v Speaker 1>eighteen for him when he was a Pro Bowl, All

0:45:21.200 --> 0:45:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Pro player. Mccraig, Oh, I say, I say yes, I said,

0:45:29.040 --> 0:45:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I said right now is a tough decision, you know,

0:45:30.840 --> 0:45:32.959
<v Speaker 1>tough answer. But right now I'm leaning toward yes, because

0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I still think he has some stuff left in the tanking.

0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:37.200
<v Speaker 1>If you keep him clean and allow him the wrong

0:45:37.280 --> 0:45:38.880
<v Speaker 1>freebak there, I think he could make some plasures just

0:45:38.880 --> 0:45:45.360
<v Speaker 1>like it did in twenty eighteen. I don't know. I

0:45:45.440 --> 0:45:47.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know. And here's what Timmy is gonna be very

0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:52.560
<v Speaker 1>interesting is when the Cowboys draft, where if they take

0:45:52.600 --> 0:45:55.879
<v Speaker 1>a linebacker in the first two rounds, then I don't

0:45:55.920 --> 0:45:57.840
<v Speaker 1>think you do it. I don't. I don't think you

0:45:57.960 --> 0:46:00.520
<v Speaker 1>do it because even if he's a free agent, you

0:46:00.600 --> 0:46:03.160
<v Speaker 1>can tender you know, you can easily tender a contract

0:46:03.200 --> 0:46:05.080
<v Speaker 1>to pay the player. Denver didn't do that to their

0:46:05.120 --> 0:46:07.680
<v Speaker 1>tackle Garrett Bowls, and they ended up deciding to you know, okay, hey,

0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:09.440
<v Speaker 1>we saw enough for you this year. We want to

0:46:09.480 --> 0:46:11.320
<v Speaker 1>bring you back on a long term deal. So I

0:46:11.480 --> 0:46:14.120
<v Speaker 1>just think with these injuries that have piled up right now,

0:46:14.239 --> 0:46:17.279
<v Speaker 1>I would I would not do it, especially knowing that

0:46:17.400 --> 0:46:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you're about to sign Dak Prescott to a pretty significant

0:46:19.960 --> 0:46:22.480
<v Speaker 1>deal and you're gonna have free agent dollars that are

0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:24.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be tight, and we just overall your cap

0:46:24.600 --> 0:46:26.920
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be tight. So in order for you to

0:46:27.040 --> 0:46:29.920
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and you know, get another year out of him,

0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I think you really got to be sure, and injuries

0:46:32.760 --> 0:46:34.160
<v Speaker 1>have to play a part in it. And then also

0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you've got Jalen Smith and right now

0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the contract you've given Jaylen Smith um, you don't look,

0:46:39.600 --> 0:46:42.640
<v Speaker 1>that's not a winning contract for you. So how much

0:46:42.680 --> 0:46:44.480
<v Speaker 1>do you want to put it into this line? How

0:46:44.560 --> 0:46:46.560
<v Speaker 1>much do you want to put into this linebacker position?

0:46:46.600 --> 0:46:49.640
<v Speaker 1>And these two guys are questionable. You thought these guys

0:46:49.680 --> 0:46:52.080
<v Speaker 1>were trending up and right now they're not trending up

0:46:52.360 --> 0:46:54.839
<v Speaker 1>at least this year. Maybe a new coordinator can come

0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:57.000
<v Speaker 1>in here and fix this thing, but right now, I

0:46:57.040 --> 0:47:00.279
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I don't know if I could. Yes,

0:47:00.680 --> 0:47:02.839
<v Speaker 1>that's that's the key. It's a lot of trending. It's

0:47:02.840 --> 0:47:05.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of trending down with this defensive coordinator. It

0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:06.799
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of trending up before he got here,

0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and now was a lot of trending down. So yeah,

0:47:09.280 --> 0:47:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm still I'm still on the fact that a new

0:47:10.960 --> 0:47:14.960
<v Speaker 1>defensive coordinator or or some tidy's up because we never

0:47:15.000 --> 0:47:17.120
<v Speaker 1>knew if mcnolah's gonna be here or not, so just

0:47:17.239 --> 0:47:19.840
<v Speaker 1>some fixed fixtures and what he's doing, and maybe another

0:47:19.920 --> 0:47:22.080
<v Speaker 1>year to have the scheme going on and have these

0:47:22.120 --> 0:47:25.600
<v Speaker 1>guys learning and execute more properly. Maybe that might help

0:47:25.680 --> 0:47:27.600
<v Speaker 1>them because like you said, they were trending up. A

0:47:27.719 --> 0:47:30.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys were trending up. Yes, and that has

0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:35.239
<v Speaker 1>changed this season. Yes, yes, definitely all right, another fun show.

0:47:35.280 --> 0:47:37.760
