Barry Church, on 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.080 the other hand, did not bear. Church is very hot. 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:04.040 So you know what, Church, I'm just sip on eat 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.040 these noodles while you go ahead and take the floor 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.840 and tell us how you still think the Cowboys gonna 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.520 win the NFC.

Man, 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.720 it's bitter. It's over with. They didn't put enough sugar 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.479 in there. I don't know what they did, but it's 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.880 over with for me and the Cowboys. I just, I mean, 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:41.640 I'm not a loss for words right now. I'm at 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.080 a loss for words right now. It's just it's it 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:48.240 was embarrassing, man, another embarrassing effort. I just you know, 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.560 it's just blunders. It's just head scratcher after head scratcher. 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.800 And it's just like this team can't get out of 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.520 its own way. And it's just it's it's it's I'm 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.240 at a loss right now. Man, I'm at a loss. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.480 I gotta take this never like a man. I'm gonna 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.559 go ahead and take my boy d Mac out to eat. 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.160 You know what I'm saying. We're gonna have a beverages, 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.280 have a couple of steaks on me um. But I'm 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.880 done with the Cowboys. Man. It's a rat like it's 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.960 this over with. Man, it's done. They let me down 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.200 for the last time. They let me down for the 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.919 last time. Man, my heart, my heart was into it. 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.360 I thought for sure we would have at least a 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.440 better display, Just just give me a I wouldn't even 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.000 still be on the kool aidy if I just saw 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.600 a better display out there. And they just don't have it. 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.640 They just don't have it. From from the coaching standpoint 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.040 down to the players, they just don't have it. It's 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.600 just not their year. Um, they need to restart, man, 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.440 they needn't really restart because this, this was this was 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.399 a this was a terrible performance, apathetic performance. And I'm 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.080 off the train. Man, I'm out of there. I have 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.040 to I have to ask you Church, because well, yet 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.920 Cincinnati coming up, all right, and Joe Burrow's not playing, 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.799 And I know how, I know how sometimes you can 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.920 get that cool Leidy, it could be better one week 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:54.840 and then next up they can put a little sugar 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.079 in and they don't sending you back on it. If 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.519 the if the Cowboys come out and they baris to 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.000 Cincinnati Bengals without Joe Burrow the starting quarterback and everything 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.840 else they got going on, really you be back on 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.359 this train. I just I just want to know right now. 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.280 You know you're really emotional about it. You just watch it. 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.639 You say you might need a few days, maybe a week, 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.519 so you are. I'm done that. It's a wrap. I 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.280 don't even know if we could beat Cincinnati. I mean, 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.240 it's that bad right now. We cannot stop the run. 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.200 Those boys ran for two hundred and ninety four combined 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.760 yards on us, and half of the time all linebackers 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.840 look lost in space. It's it's just amazing to me. 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.320 I know we're gonna talk about the defense in the 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.320 second segment, but I just had to throw that out there. 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.960 I mean, there was too many instances where Vanders Sean 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.040 Lee they just look lost out there, like they just 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.840 didn't know what was going on. And it was simple reads, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.360 like if a guard's pulling. I just want one example, 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.800 Just one example, man, just one example. I gotta throw 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:53.760 out there before I let the defense hold on to 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.120 the second segment. But that long run from Lamar Jackson, 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.280 if you're in the middle and you're reading your keys, 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:06.600 you see two big three hundred pound men pulling, pulling, 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.600 and you see a ghost runner going the opposite way 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.160 of the three hundred pound Why would you follow the 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.040 ghost runner? When have you ever seen fourth and inches 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.480 that a person will run away from the three hundred 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.440 pounders pulling? I just don't understand it. I'm at a 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.800 loss for words. And go ahead, take it away, man, 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:28.679 just take it away. Who's the league? Russian Forces? Lamar 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:36.640 Jackson down a sleeping look like all the way to 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.599 the right side of the street, all fourth and inches 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.320 right your hall, like he went right up to the 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.120 Why why would you not take care of the middle 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.080 when it's fourth and inches? Like, what team is gonna 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.240 go all the way out to the outside if I 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.279 mean the Cowboys might We've seen we throw we throw 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.080 hitches on fourth and inches. But besides that, there's no 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.560 other team in the National Football League that's gonna run 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.440 a sweep on fourth and inches, like take care of 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:06.600 the middle first, like, go ahead, and I'm going to man, 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.080 it's no other team in the league who has a 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.440 start player who's going to take the ball out of 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.640 their heads on fourth and distance. So only us, only 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.520 only we would drive back for eight yard pass the 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.120 CD lab on fourth and instance. Only US. You know, 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.440 every other team is not gonna do that. So maybe 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.919 they were preparing for what they didn't practicing against, and 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.000 they were like, maybe they're gonna run something special and 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.320 go out of the box with this Vanderas like, I'm 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.280 gonna taste this fourth and instance down all the way 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.680 to the opposite sideline and that's just gonna make the 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.760 big play. And you gotta asked by the march taxes 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.600 who we said you need to stop and focus on 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.400 and it don't looks like they was focus want to 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.320 do it all that player and my man and my 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.800 man vander Us after the after the post conference, gonna 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:47.839 be like, yeah, man, that was all on me. We 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.839 know it was all on you. We watched them take 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.440 you ain't gonna take accountability for that. We know it 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.080 was all on you. You don't. You don't get no 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.240 brownie points for sitting there talking about man like I 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:57.960 take that one on the chess man, that was all 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.400 on me. Yes, it was all on you. We saw that. 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.360 We every toy ating and broken down like look, manderesfort 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.000 the heck are you doing? So there's no I mean, 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.120 you don't get no brownie points from taking an accountability. 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.440 Just played better, man, Like I said, I'm done with 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.120 these boys. I'm done, so so I think we should 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.760 wait to the second segment. Man, Now we go ahead 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.160 and take us away. Man, this is crazy. Yeah, I 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:27.000 got five words for your church. Okay. We try to 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:32.920 tell you, really, that's simple. Okay. You've been doing this 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.440 show with us now for weeks. Okay, McCray and I 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.240 tried to tell you. We talked about this. Okay. We 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.080 talked about this game when you picked Dallas, and I said, 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:47.440 if you're Baltimore, you simply pull out the what what 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:52.159 Cleveland did and do that. That's what you do. Um. Okay, 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.719 So you wanted to go on and church out. You know, 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.360 I really want to make this about you today. Um. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.680 So you wanted to talk about the offense first here 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:04.000 in this second m what do you want to talk 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:12.480 about because you know it was it wasn't enough. Look, man, 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:17.120 well offensively offensively, it just wasn't enough, like you said, Man, 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.760 But I will say this, Kellen Bore did at least 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.160 try to get his stars involved. One of the stars. 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.920 I mean, he didn't get Mark Cooper as involved as 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.360 I'd like to see, but at least they were handing 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.040 the ball off to Zeke and Zeke. He ran the ball, 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.840 I would say he ran it effectively. Man, he did 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.960 what he could out there. But I mean, overall, I'm 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:37.640 just had a loss for words right now because I 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.640 didn't think it was gonna be that bad. Honestly, I 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.119 really didn't think it was gonna be that bad. But 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.120 the way they went out there and performed, man, it's 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.280 just a head scratcher. It's just a head scratcher. And 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.000 then look, I will say this though, I will say this, 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.240 though that patchwork offensive line they held their own for 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:53.960 the most part. They did held their own for the 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.000 most part, and I will give kudos to them for that. 0:07:56.240 --> 0:08:00.240 But everybody else, man, it's like a dumpster fire right now. Yes, 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.400 give credit to the offensive line. But but I come 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.080 back and I'll ask you this, Barry. So, it's week 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.800 twelve and you're giving Kellen Moore props in week twelve 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.520 for doing something we talked about all this show back 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.800 in September. Finally, I mean, I gotta get I gotta 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:19.640 get it. Finally did start and finally did something. I mean, 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.120 we went from throwing the ball on fourth and inches, 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.280 We went from throwing the ball and hit the fourth 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.400 and inches to at least getting to Zeke a little 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.040 bit involved in a game player. So I gotta give 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.920 him kudos a little bit. I know, not Listen, he 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.320 ain't getting that for me. He ain't getting that for me. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.400 He ain't getting that for me. Listen, because if you 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.160 watch this game, you know, as much as we want 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:40.920 to say, how he gave Zeke the ball as Zebra 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:42.880 and Will and the Mark Cooper ended up with nine 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.439 targets and all that, that's just the stat sheet. It 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.440 wasn't even it wasn't even focused on how how how 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:51.800 I would have expected it to be when I said 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.840 these two guys should get at least sixty percent of 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.480 the snaps, or they should be focused on when they 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.280 called these plays or sixty percilar snaps for us to 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:04.160 be competitive in this game. Zeke got enough carriage. He 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.280 ran the ball like we all knew that he could 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.720 once he got rolling, and it was fine. I'm still 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.280 a little skeptical, even though Tony Pollard does give us 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.480 a little spark of the way that they switch in 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.079 and out. I think he's taken a little bit too 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.240 many snaps from Zeke. I think Zeke is one of 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.680 those guys who he needs to continue to get get 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.319 the ball to punish those guys on the defensive side, 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.560 and harder for him to weigh him down and get 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.640 those long runs at the end of the game. But 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.120 you know, Tony Poler has been playing well enough for 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:31.600 him to get some sean, So I'm not gonna go 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.400 too hard on now. If you look at the at 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:38.079 the play calls and the play designs on that goal 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.599 line stand that we end up almost not getting with 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:44.680 Zeke running the ball three times, why would you want 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.480 this line up for operation and run Zeke downd Miller. 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.680 That's what I love to see. But you line up 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.880 in the close formation, which is the tight hand tackle 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.319 and then guard and no receiver outside of him. We 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.560 run like a Zoe read and we do not block 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.880 the defensive end and he runs fresh off the off 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.440 the edge and makes the tackle. And everybody's like, oh, y'all, 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.959 we ain't getting gonna put some offensive line. They all 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:12.600 the blocker who's coming up at the steam. I don't 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.400 get it. I don't get it. If you like, don't 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.080 be cute about it. And then if you that close 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.160 line up and tight too tight in formation like everybody 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.160 else and run the ball down the middle of the 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.160 offensive line, and they're playing weather enough for you to 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.800 believe that you can get that done. But whatever, we 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.720 still got it. And I followed that, I am going 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.959 to stay on this train with I don't understand how 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.280 you're one hundred million dollar guy is not the vocal 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.560 point of your rod receiver corps. It just does not 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.840 make sense to me. You throw the screens to Gallup, 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.120 you throw the deep boss to Gallup, you throw the 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.640 hinches and all that stuff to see Lamb and then 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.760 it seemed like a bark Cooper get the scratch when 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:48.640 like when you need to play every must in a while, 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.120 that you start to look through Mark cooperway. And I 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.040 just don't think that's the right way to win. If 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.760 you watch the last few games, every time this dude 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.599 gets the ball or they target him, he's usually a 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.439 big played and we and we find two or three 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.319 times throughout the game to do that. It just makes 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:09.239 us to me, I'm with you one hundred percent. And 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:13.280 and this's just me. I find this surprising coming from 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.120 a guy like Mike McCarthy, who is in Green Bay 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:22.600 where we saw far and Rodgers the throw to their 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.640 number one targets again and again and again. So it's 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.240 DeVante Adams now, so you know that that's who Rogers 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:29.800 is doing to him. You look up here in these games. 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.719 You've got Bontae Adams in you fantasy football league. You 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.520 love it. This guy's pulling ten plus catches the game. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:39.120 Adams he had, Um, he had Jordian Nelson. You know, 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.720 he's beating Jordy Nelson. And and then you had Donald Driver. 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:44.360 I mean, you know, you just go you just go 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.760 down to this list Green Bay's had, you know, going 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.800 to far there was always one guy that they just 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.440 kept feeding and feeding feeding from from Sterling Shark and 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.520 Brett Farve when Farr first started getting going. So I'm 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.640 surprised that Mike McCarthy has come down here to the 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.760 Cowboys and not decided, Hey, I'm gonna have a guy 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.959 and we're just gonna feed this guys as as our 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.920 top receiver here, um is very Why hasn't he taken 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:10.400 over play call duties? Like why has he? Why? Like 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.240 if you're gonna go down with it, at least go 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:20.199 down swinging, take the play call back and man off off. 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.040 Just no, I just I just looked at DeVante Adams 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.880 against the Eagles ten catches on hundred twenty one yards, 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.920 two touchdowns, and they got Darius Slay over there in Philadelphia. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:32.880 But but here it is they're saying, we're still going 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.880 at him and that which you know. I bring this 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.320 to back up Danny's point. Paying one hundred million dollars 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.400 for a guy you utilize. I mean, you turn on 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.480 a Cardinals game, what do you see? You see de 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:46.840 hot getting the football, and that's something in week twelve, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.320 what Danny saying has so much credibility because you're just 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.920 looking at it. You're trying to understand, how is this 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:57.120 the case? And if this is the case, why did 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.599 you spend the money? I mean, really, if this was 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.280 what they were going to do, you were better off 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:06.800 giving his money to Byron Jones and just you know, 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.199 finding another receiver in free agency and drafting Cdee Lamb 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:11.960 and having Michael Gallup. I mean, you were going to 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.520 go this route. That part is I think very confusing 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.400 for us on this show, but also the fan base. 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.800 I was talking to someone who's covered the team for 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.320 years today. They said the same thing about how the 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.439 Cowboys and he was his big grip. He says, why 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:32.680 is Noah Brown catching balls? That's what he said. He's like, 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:34.640 you know, he said, you gave a hundred million dollars 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.240 Mark Cooper. I'm watching Noah Brown catch balls like these 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.360 balls need to be going to to Amara Cooper cell. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:45.560 So from that offensive standpoint, it maybe burry after this season, 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.280 depending on what happens with Kellen Moore. Maybe McCarthy is there. 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.319 Now I'll say this, and you guys know football very well. 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.840 You've been on the sideline something I've never been. McCarthy 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:57.920 has that big old play sheet and you see him 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.080 looking at it all the time. Why do you have 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:02.880 this sheet? Why are you looking at it all the 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.760 time if you're not calling plays or you're not involved 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.520 in the process here. Somehow I think he is. That's 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.320 just me. You can you tell me. I think he 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:12.960 is as well. I mean, I didn't know about that 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.960 play call sheet down there, but when you bring that up, 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.199 I think he's doing something. But I don't know. Does 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.000 he not want to take blame for to put the 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.360 offensive struggle? So he points to Kellen Moore having to 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.520 having a play call duties. I don't know, man, But 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.600 whoever's calling those plays? I mean they need to restart 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.520 as well. They need they need to restart and twenty 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.360 one because it ain't working right now. No matter what 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.000 you're doing, it ain't working. Can I defend Kelly me 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:41.640 on this? Okay, to just listen, just listen, listen to me. 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.920 Our frustration with Kellen mooys. We don't think he runs 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.760 the ball enough. At the initial Cowboys press conference when 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:54.360 they introduced Mike McCarthy, I specifically asked him. I asked 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:59.000 him about the usage for an Ezekiel Ellie because when 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.600 he was in Green Bay, they didn't run the ball. 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.440 He now has a running back better than anybody he 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.880 had a green back, and he said, oh, he'll be 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.480 a focal point. This is what Mike McCarthy said. So 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.120 if Mike McCarthy's a guy who never really gave this 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.960 guy his top running backs the ball, are we shocked? 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.600 Is he doing what he's been doing? What his track 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.040 record says, We're gonna throw the pall and the run 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.280 game is an afterthought? Can all keller more? When when 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.560 this is what the head coach has done and he hasn't. 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.840 Clearly he has a push twin one, No, put it 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.200 put it on killer more because I know, I'm not 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.760 understand I know for a fact, but I'm almost absolutely 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.880 sure that when Jason Garrett was here and everybody was 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.800 pushing like it was, we were a run first team 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.520 and every and everything was predicated off that. And then 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.040 he brought Killer Moore in here to do exactly what 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.080 he's doing now, not running the ball enough and make 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.440 the office a little bit more exciting, making an array 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.200 type of thing. So I'm putting this on Killer more 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.920 because this stuff was was in the process of getting 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.080 done before Mike McCarthy even got here. So Kevin Moore 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.200 is just continuing on with what he was doing already 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.600 make McCarthy, but that play sheet, I think in certain 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.360 situations he points at, you know, one or two players 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:11.680 to say, I think this was the work. But I 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.160 really think that he's giving Kelly Moore, you know, the 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.800 reins and letting him go in and see this ship, 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.440 you know, offensively. I don't think that Mike McCarthy has 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:21.840 that much to do with it. And at the end 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.040 of the year he might, you know, it might help 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:25.600 him out because he just say, hey, it wouldn't me 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.160 and you know what I'm saying, But y'all y'all get 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.480 him play this year and I'll make sure this is better. 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.960 I know I wouldn't. It's too late this week twelve now, 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:37.880 I wouldn't snack freak playing sheet. No, no, all right, 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.720 we've got to take We got to take a break. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.160 We will get into the defense. I have a question 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.440 about that touchdown run um that Lamar Jackson had that 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:53.640 opposed to Danny and Barry. But something happened today that 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:58.240 has never happened for Jerry Jones. They've messed with his money, 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.280 and I'll tell you how they messed with this uney. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.000 Next on the Players on bot You by Hotels dot 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.600 com on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

I am NEWI scrugs 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.360 longtime Cowboys re Order joined by two former Dallas Cowboys players, 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:43.719 Danny McCrae and Barry Church. Today, something happened, gentleman that 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:51.520 never ever has happened as long as NBC has had 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:56.560 Sunday Night Football, and they started flexing games, which means, hey, 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.800 there's a game late matchup that we don't like, We're 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.560 gonna take it out, put put in another team. The 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:06.040 Cowboys have never been flexed ever ever. Ever, when NBC 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:10.000 puts the Cowboys in they stayed there. Not this year. 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.200 December twentieth game, which was scheduled for the forty nine 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.800 ers to come to Jerry Rule and be on NBC 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:20.040 Sunday Night Football, has now been flexed. It is going 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:24.080 to be a twelve o'clock kick. It's on CBS. And 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:28.720 to make the insult even worse, they're going to put 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.800 the Giants and Browns on Sunday Night Football in place 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:36.399 of the Cowboys. Who let me tell you it's a 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:40.280 better game. That's fine, But let me tell you something. 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:44.720 Here's the problem. Okay, it's never happened. They're messing with 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.760
