Speaker 1: Berry Church to former Dallas Cowboys safeties. This is the
Speaker 1: players Lounge by two by Hotels dot Com. Uh, Danny
Speaker 1: and I predicted that the Ravens would win, and we
Speaker 1: predicted they'd win by this big margin. Barry Church, on
Speaker 1: the other hand, did not bear. Church is very hot.
Speaker 1: So you know what, Church, I'm just sip on eat
Speaker 1: these noodles while you go ahead and take the floor

Speaker 1: make too much noise over there. Man. But look, but look, man,
Speaker 1: your boy. Man, they let me down, man, Big Mike
Speaker 1: and the crew. They let me down. Man, the crew,
Speaker 1: the team, everybody involved. I don't upper met. They all
Speaker 1: let me down. Man. The kool aid has gone dry. Man,
Speaker 1: it's bitter. It's over with. They didn't put enough sugar
Speaker 1: in there. I don't know what they did, but it's
Speaker 1: over with for me and the Cowboys. I just, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not a loss for words right now. I'm at
Speaker 1: a loss for words right now. It's just it's it
Speaker 1: was embarrassing, man, another embarrassing effort. I just you know,
Speaker 1: it's just blunders. It's just head scratcher after head scratcher.
Speaker 1: And it's just like this team can't get out of
Speaker 1: its own way. And it's just it's it's it's I'm
Speaker 1: at a loss right now. Man, I'm at a loss.
Speaker 1: I gotta take this never like a man. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and take my boy d Mac out to eat.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We're gonna have a beverages,
Speaker 1: have a couple of steaks on me um. But I'm
Speaker 1: done with the Cowboys. Man. It's a rat like it's
Speaker 1: this over with. Man, it's done. They let me down
Speaker 1: for the last time. They let me down for the
Speaker 1: last time. Man, my heart, my heart was into it.
Speaker 1: I thought for sure we would have at least a
Speaker 1: better display, Just just give me a I wouldn't even
Speaker 1: still be on the kool aidy if I just saw
Speaker 1: a better display out there. And they just don't have it.
Speaker 1: They just don't have it. From from the coaching standpoint
Speaker 1: down to the players, they just don't have it. It's
Speaker 1: just not their year. Um, they need to restart, man,
Speaker 1: they needn't really restart because this, this was this was
Speaker 1: a this was a terrible performance, apathetic performance. And I'm
Speaker 1: off the train. Man, I'm out of there. I have
Speaker 1: to I have to ask you Church, because well, yet
Speaker 1: Cincinnati coming up, all right, and Joe Burrow's not playing,
Speaker 1: And I know how, I know how sometimes you can
Speaker 1: get that cool Leidy, it could be better one week
Speaker 1: and then next up they can put a little sugar
Speaker 1: in and they don't sending you back on it. If
Speaker 1: the if the Cowboys come out and they baris to
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals without Joe Burrow the starting quarterback and everything
Speaker 1: else they got going on, really you be back on
Speaker 1: this train. I just I just want to know right now.
Speaker 1: You know you're really emotional about it. You just watch it.
Speaker 1: You say you might need a few days, maybe a week,
Speaker 1: so you are. I'm done that. It's a wrap. I
Speaker 1: don't even know if we could beat Cincinnati. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's that bad right now. We cannot stop the run.
Speaker 1: Those boys ran for two hundred and ninety four combined
Speaker 1: yards on us, and half of the time all linebackers
Speaker 1: look lost in space. It's it's just amazing to me.
Speaker 1: I know we're gonna talk about the defense in the
Speaker 1: second segment, but I just had to throw that out there.
Speaker 1: I mean, there was too many instances where Vanders Sean
Speaker 1: Lee they just look lost out there, like they just
Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on. And it was simple reads,
Speaker 1: like if a guard's pulling. I just want one example,
Speaker 1: Just one example, man, just one example. I gotta throw
Speaker 1: out there before I let the defense hold on to
Speaker 1: the second segment. But that long run from Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: if you're in the middle and you're reading your keys,
Speaker 1: you see two big three hundred pound men pulling, pulling,
Speaker 1: and you see a ghost runner going the opposite way
Speaker 1: of the three hundred pound Why would you follow the
Speaker 1: ghost runner? When have you ever seen fourth and inches
Speaker 1: that a person will run away from the three hundred
Speaker 1: pounders pulling? I just don't understand it. I'm at a
Speaker 1: loss for words. And go ahead, take it away, man,
Speaker 1: just take it away. Who's the league? Russian Forces? Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson down a sleeping look like all the way to
Speaker 1: the right side of the street, all fourth and inches
Speaker 1: right your hall, like he went right up to the
Speaker 1: Why why would you not take care of the middle
Speaker 1: when it's fourth and inches? Like, what team is gonna
Speaker 1: go all the way out to the outside if I
Speaker 1: mean the Cowboys might We've seen we throw we throw
Speaker 1: hitches on fourth and inches. But besides that, there's no
Speaker 1: other team in the National Football League that's gonna run
Speaker 1: a sweep on fourth and inches, like take care of
Speaker 1: the middle first, like, go ahead, and I'm going to man,
Speaker 1: it's no other team in the league who has a
Speaker 1: start player who's going to take the ball out of
Speaker 1: their heads on fourth and distance. So only us, only
Speaker 1: only we would drive back for eight yard pass the
Speaker 1: CD lab on fourth and instance. Only US. You know,
Speaker 1: every other team is not gonna do that. So maybe
Speaker 1: they were preparing for what they didn't practicing against, and
Speaker 1: they were like, maybe they're gonna run something special and
Speaker 1: go out of the box with this Vanderas like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna taste this fourth and instance down all the way
Speaker 1: to the opposite sideline and that's just gonna make the
Speaker 1: big play. And you gotta asked by the march taxes
Speaker 1: who we said you need to stop and focus on
Speaker 1: and it don't looks like they was focus want to
Speaker 1: do it all that player and my man and my
Speaker 1: man vander Us after the after the post conference, gonna
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, man, that was all on me. We
Speaker 1: know it was all on you. We watched them take
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna take accountability for that. We know it
Speaker 1: was all on you. You don't. You don't get no
Speaker 1: brownie points for sitting there talking about man like I
Speaker 1: take that one on the chess man, that was all
Speaker 1: on me. Yes, it was all on you. We saw that.
Speaker 1: We every toy ating and broken down like look, manderesfort
Speaker 1: the heck are you doing? So there's no I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't get no brownie points from taking an accountability.
Speaker 1: Just played better, man, Like I said, I'm done with
Speaker 1: these boys. I'm done, so so I think we should
Speaker 1: wait to the second segment. Man, Now we go ahead
Speaker 1: and take us away. Man, this is crazy. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: got five words for your church. Okay. We try to
Speaker 1: tell you, really, that's simple. Okay. You've been doing this
Speaker 1: show with us now for weeks. Okay, McCray and I
Speaker 1: tried to tell you. We talked about this. Okay. We
Speaker 1: talked about this game when you picked Dallas, and I said,
Speaker 1: if you're Baltimore, you simply pull out the what what
Speaker 1: Cleveland did and do that. That's what you do. Um. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you wanted to go on and church out. You know,
Speaker 1: I really want to make this about you today. Um.
Speaker 1: So you wanted to talk about the offense first here
Speaker 1: in this second m what do you want to talk
Speaker 1: about because you know it was it wasn't enough. Look, man,
Speaker 1: well offensively offensively, it just wasn't enough, like you said, Man,
Speaker 1: But I will say this, Kellen Bore did at least
Speaker 1: try to get his stars involved. One of the stars.
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't get Mark Cooper as involved as
Speaker 1: I'd like to see, but at least they were handing
Speaker 1: the ball off to Zeke and Zeke. He ran the ball,
Speaker 1: I would say he ran it effectively. Man, he did
Speaker 1: what he could out there. But I mean, overall, I'm
Speaker 1: just had a loss for words right now because I
Speaker 1: didn't think it was gonna be that bad. Honestly, I
Speaker 1: really didn't think it was gonna be that bad. But
Speaker 1: the way they went out there and performed, man, it's
Speaker 1: just a head scratcher. It's just a head scratcher. And
Speaker 1: then look, I will say this though, I will say this,
Speaker 1: though that patchwork offensive line they held their own for
Speaker 1: the most part. They did held their own for the
Speaker 1: most part, and I will give kudos to them for that.
Speaker 1: But everybody else, man, it's like a dumpster fire right now. Yes,
Speaker 1: give credit to the offensive line. But but I come
Speaker 1: back and I'll ask you this, Barry. So, it's week
Speaker 1: twelve and you're giving Kellen Moore props in week twelve
Speaker 1: for doing something we talked about all this show back
Speaker 1: in September. Finally, I mean, I gotta get I gotta
Speaker 1: get it. Finally did start and finally did something. I mean,
Speaker 1: we went from throwing the ball on fourth and inches,
Speaker 1: We went from throwing the ball and hit the fourth
Speaker 1: and inches to at least getting to Zeke a little
Speaker 1: bit involved in a game player. So I gotta give
Speaker 1: him kudos a little bit. I know, not Listen, he
Speaker 1: ain't getting that for me. He ain't getting that for me.
Speaker 1: He ain't getting that for me. Listen, because if you
Speaker 1: watch this game, you know, as much as we want
Speaker 1: to say, how he gave Zeke the ball as Zebra
Speaker 1: and Will and the Mark Cooper ended up with nine
Speaker 1: targets and all that, that's just the stat sheet. It
Speaker 1: wasn't even it wasn't even focused on how how how
Speaker 1: I would have expected it to be when I said
Speaker 1: these two guys should get at least sixty percent of
Speaker 1: the snaps, or they should be focused on when they
Speaker 1: called these plays or sixty percilar snaps for us to
Speaker 1: be competitive in this game. Zeke got enough carriage. He
Speaker 1: ran the ball like we all knew that he could
Speaker 1: once he got rolling, and it was fine. I'm still
Speaker 1: a little skeptical, even though Tony Pollard does give us
Speaker 1: a little spark of the way that they switch in
Speaker 1: and out. I think he's taken a little bit too
Speaker 1: many snaps from Zeke. I think Zeke is one of
Speaker 1: those guys who he needs to continue to get get
Speaker 1: the ball to punish those guys on the defensive side,
Speaker 1: and harder for him to weigh him down and get
Speaker 1: those long runs at the end of the game. But
Speaker 1: you know, Tony Poler has been playing well enough for
Speaker 1: him to get some sean, So I'm not gonna go
Speaker 1: too hard on now. If you look at the at
Speaker 1: the play calls and the play designs on that goal
Speaker 1: line stand that we end up almost not getting with
Speaker 1: Zeke running the ball three times, why would you want
Speaker 1: this line up for operation and run Zeke downd Miller.
Speaker 1: That's what I love to see. But you line up
Speaker 1: in the close formation, which is the tight hand tackle
Speaker 1: and then guard and no receiver outside of him. We
Speaker 1: run like a Zoe read and we do not block
Speaker 1: the defensive end and he runs fresh off the off
Speaker 1: the edge and makes the tackle. And everybody's like, oh, y'all,
Speaker 1: we ain't getting gonna put some offensive line. They all
Speaker 1: the blocker who's coming up at the steam. I don't
Speaker 1: get it. I don't get it. If you like, don't
Speaker 1: be cute about it. And then if you that close
Speaker 1: line up and tight too tight in formation like everybody
Speaker 1: else and run the ball down the middle of the
Speaker 1: offensive line, and they're playing weather enough for you to
Speaker 1: believe that you can get that done. But whatever, we
Speaker 1: still got it. And I followed that, I am going
Speaker 1: to stay on this train with I don't understand how
Speaker 1: you're one hundred million dollar guy is not the vocal
Speaker 1: point of your rod receiver corps. It just does not
Speaker 1: make sense to me. You throw the screens to Gallup,
Speaker 1: you throw the deep boss to Gallup, you throw the
Speaker 1: hinches and all that stuff to see Lamb and then
Speaker 1: it seemed like a bark Cooper get the scratch when
Speaker 1: like when you need to play every must in a while,
Speaker 1: that you start to look through Mark cooperway. And I
Speaker 1: just don't think that's the right way to win. If
Speaker 1: you watch the last few games, every time this dude
Speaker 1: gets the ball or they target him, he's usually a
Speaker 1: big played and we and we find two or three
Speaker 1: times throughout the game to do that. It just makes
Speaker 1: us to me, I'm with you one hundred percent. And
Speaker 1: and this's just me. I find this surprising coming from
Speaker 1: a guy like Mike McCarthy, who is in Green Bay
Speaker 1: where we saw far and Rodgers the throw to their
Speaker 1: number one targets again and again and again. So it's
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams now, so you know that that's who Rogers
Speaker 1: is doing to him. You look up here in these games.
Speaker 1: You've got Bontae Adams in you fantasy football league. You
Speaker 1: love it. This guy's pulling ten plus catches the game.
Speaker 1: Adams he had, Um, he had Jordian Nelson. You know,
Speaker 1: he's beating Jordy Nelson. And and then you had Donald Driver.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you just go you just go
Speaker 1: down to this list Green Bay's had, you know, going
Speaker 1: to far there was always one guy that they just
Speaker 1: kept feeding and feeding feeding from from Sterling Shark and
Speaker 1: Brett Farve when Farr first started getting going. So I'm
Speaker 1: surprised that Mike McCarthy has come down here to the
Speaker 1: Cowboys and not decided, Hey, I'm gonna have a guy
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna feed this guys as as our
Speaker 1: top receiver here, um is very Why hasn't he taken
Speaker 1: over play call duties? Like why has he? Why? Like
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go down with it, at least go
Speaker 1: down swinging, take the play call back and man off off.
Speaker 1: Just no, I just I just looked at DeVante Adams
Speaker 1: against the Eagles ten catches on hundred twenty one yards,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and they got Darius Slay over there in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: But but here it is they're saying, we're still going
Speaker 1: at him and that which you know. I bring this
Speaker 1: to back up Danny's point. Paying one hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: for a guy you utilize. I mean, you turn on
Speaker 1: a Cardinals game, what do you see? You see de
Speaker 1: hot getting the football, and that's something in week twelve,
Speaker 1: what Danny saying has so much credibility because you're just
Speaker 1: looking at it. You're trying to understand, how is this
Speaker 1: the case? And if this is the case, why did
Speaker 1: you spend the money? I mean, really, if this was
Speaker 1: what they were going to do, you were better off
Speaker 1: giving his money to Byron Jones and just you know,
Speaker 1: finding another receiver in free agency and drafting Cdee Lamb
Speaker 1: and having Michael Gallup. I mean, you were going to
Speaker 1: go this route. That part is I think very confusing
Speaker 1: for us on this show, but also the fan base.
Speaker 1: I was talking to someone who's covered the team for
Speaker 1: years today. They said the same thing about how the
Speaker 1: Cowboys and he was his big grip. He says, why
Speaker 1: is Noah Brown catching balls? That's what he said. He's like,
Speaker 1: you know, he said, you gave a hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: Mark Cooper. I'm watching Noah Brown catch balls like these
Speaker 1: balls need to be going to to Amara Cooper cell.
Speaker 1: So from that offensive standpoint, it maybe burry after this season,
Speaker 1: depending on what happens with Kellen Moore. Maybe McCarthy is there.
Speaker 1: Now I'll say this, and you guys know football very well.
Speaker 1: You've been on the sideline something I've never been. McCarthy
Speaker 1: has that big old play sheet and you see him
Speaker 1: looking at it all the time. Why do you have
Speaker 1: this sheet? Why are you looking at it all the
Speaker 1: time if you're not calling plays or you're not involved
Speaker 1: in the process here. Somehow I think he is. That's
Speaker 1: just me. You can you tell me. I think he
Speaker 1: is as well. I mean, I didn't know about that
Speaker 1: play call sheet down there, but when you bring that up,
Speaker 1: I think he's doing something. But I don't know. Does
Speaker 1: he not want to take blame for to put the
Speaker 1: offensive struggle? So he points to Kellen Moore having to
Speaker 1: having a play call duties. I don't know, man, But
Speaker 1: whoever's calling those plays? I mean they need to restart
Speaker 1: as well. They need they need to restart and twenty
Speaker 1: one because it ain't working right now. No matter what
Speaker 1: you're doing, it ain't working. Can I defend Kelly me
Speaker 1: on this? Okay, to just listen, just listen, listen to me.
Speaker 1: Our frustration with Kellen mooys. We don't think he runs
Speaker 1: the ball enough. At the initial Cowboys press conference when
Speaker 1: they introduced Mike McCarthy, I specifically asked him. I asked
Speaker 1: him about the usage for an Ezekiel Ellie because when
Speaker 1: he was in Green Bay, they didn't run the ball.
Speaker 1: He now has a running back better than anybody he
Speaker 1: had a green back, and he said, oh, he'll be
Speaker 1: a focal point. This is what Mike McCarthy said. So
Speaker 1: if Mike McCarthy's a guy who never really gave this
Speaker 1: guy his top running backs the ball, are we shocked?
Speaker 1: Is he doing what he's been doing? What his track
Speaker 1: record says, We're gonna throw the pall and the run
Speaker 1: game is an afterthought? Can all keller more? When when
Speaker 1: this is what the head coach has done and he hasn't.
Speaker 1: Clearly he has a push twin one, No, put it
Speaker 1: put it on killer more because I know, I'm not
Speaker 1: understand I know for a fact, but I'm almost absolutely
Speaker 1: sure that when Jason Garrett was here and everybody was
Speaker 1: pushing like it was, we were a run first team
Speaker 1: and every and everything was predicated off that. And then
Speaker 1: he brought Killer Moore in here to do exactly what
Speaker 1: he's doing now, not running the ball enough and make
Speaker 1: the office a little bit more exciting, making an array
Speaker 1: type of thing. So I'm putting this on Killer more
Speaker 1: because this stuff was was in the process of getting
Speaker 1: done before Mike McCarthy even got here. So Kevin Moore
Speaker 1: is just continuing on with what he was doing already
Speaker 1: make McCarthy, but that play sheet, I think in certain
Speaker 1: situations he points at, you know, one or two players
Speaker 1: to say, I think this was the work. But I
Speaker 1: really think that he's giving Kelly Moore, you know, the
Speaker 1: reins and letting him go in and see this ship,
Speaker 1: you know, offensively. I don't think that Mike McCarthy has
Speaker 1: that much to do with it. And at the end
Speaker 1: of the year he might, you know, it might help
Speaker 1: him out because he just say, hey, it wouldn't me
Speaker 1: and you know what I'm saying, But y'all y'all get
Speaker 1: him play this year and I'll make sure this is better.
Speaker 1: I know I wouldn't. It's too late this week twelve now,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't snack freak playing sheet. No, no, all right,
Speaker 1: we've got to take We got to take a break.
Speaker 1: We will get into the defense. I have a question
Speaker 1: about that touchdown run um that Lamar Jackson had that
Speaker 1: opposed to Danny and Barry. But something happened today that
Speaker 1: has never happened for Jerry Jones. They've messed with his money,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you how they messed with this uney.

Speaker 1: brought you by Hotels dot Com. I am NEWI scrugs
Speaker 1: longtime Cowboys re Order joined by two former Dallas Cowboys players,
Speaker 1: Danny McCrae and Barry Church. Today, something happened, gentleman that
Speaker 1: never ever has happened as long as NBC has had
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football, and they started flexing games, which means, hey,
Speaker 1: there's a game late matchup that we don't like, We're
Speaker 1: gonna take it out, put put in another team. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys have never been flexed ever ever. Ever, when NBC
Speaker 1: puts the Cowboys in they stayed there. Not this year.
Speaker 1: December twentieth game, which was scheduled for the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers to come to Jerry Rule and be on NBC
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football, has now been flexed. It is going
Speaker 1: to be a twelve o'clock kick. It's on CBS. And
Speaker 1: to make the insult even worse, they're going to put
Speaker 1: the Giants and Browns on Sunday Night Football in place
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys. Who let me tell you it's a
Speaker 1: better game. That's fine, But let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Okay, it's never happened. They're messing with
Speaker 1: Jerry's money. Okay, they are met Mike McCarthy's crew. You
Speaker 1: are messing with Jerry Jones's money. Okay, Sunday Night game.
Speaker 1: Get people in the stadium of the huge viewing audience.
Speaker 1: He's never ever, ever been flexed out of a game. Man,
Speaker 1: tell me right now. I don't know if Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: wants to say, Mike Nolan, I would love to hear
Speaker 1: what he has to say, because at the end of
Speaker 1: the year, there will be people sacrificed. Okay, Jerry. If
Speaker 1: Jerry keeps McCarthy like he says he is. There's no
Speaker 1: way in the world he gets to come back with
Speaker 1: this entire coaching staff. People gonna have to die. Man,
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead, listen. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: If Nolan is here next year, they don't want to win.
Speaker 1: You give it up to see. You do not want
Speaker 1: to win football games if you continue with the same
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator and possibly the same special team's coach. Which
Speaker 1: want to touch on later. I know Church Church wants
Speaker 1: to segments to stay on point, but so listen, if
Speaker 1: no one is here, I don't have no faith in
Speaker 1: the process for what we what we're trying to do
Speaker 1: moving forwards, especially defensively. Look, I'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: hit the first one. I can't believe we got flexed
Speaker 1: out of Sunday Night. I mean, like you said, that
Speaker 1: was the first time ever. When we were more in
Speaker 1: twelve and twenty fifteen, I mean, we were still playing
Speaker 1: Sunday night games. You know, we're still playing those primetime games.
Speaker 1: When I was what nine and three with Jacksonville, our
Speaker 1: latest game was four o'clock. We couldn't pay them to
Speaker 1: put us at the put us in the primetime So this,
Speaker 1: this is crazy. I mean, you're definitely messing with Jerry's
Speaker 1: money right here. But if I'm Mike McCarthy, man, I'm
Speaker 1: bringing Nolan in, I'm bringing Fossil in. I'm bringing Kellen
Speaker 1: Moore into the into a room. We gonna lock the door,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say this to them boys. Hey, look,
Speaker 1: I'm leaving this room in about two minutes. Whoever wants
Speaker 1: their job, they gotta be the first one out the
Speaker 1: other two. I don't know what y'all gonna do. Somebody
Speaker 1: got a favor because I ain't going down. I ain't
Speaker 1: going down for y'all like this. And I already told him,
Speaker 1: Kelly Moore, you got to play call duties, so you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to fall on the sword for the offense. Nolan,
Speaker 1: we already know you. You halfway off the door already.
Speaker 1: And Fossil Fossil back to back weeks with special teams blunders.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't get it. The lay game
Speaker 1: and then Greg book them black dirt lines out here,
Speaker 1: missing one of four. I mean, it's it's it's something
Speaker 1: that you can't reverse, man, It's something that you can't reverse.
Speaker 1: And somebody got to go. And if I'm big Mike,
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna be me hurt, that hurt. They heard him,
Speaker 1: They heard him so bad, so bad. It's so bitter.
Speaker 1: It's so bitter. McCarthy, McCarthy, need to get that hat
Speaker 1: me Noo Brown had in New Jack City. Come on
Speaker 1: in there, look go look at Mike Nolan's boy tears
Speaker 1: in his eyes, and I am, you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: do it. You have to pull the trick. Bath. You
Speaker 1: gonna have to pull the trigger. Man that he's gonna
Speaker 1: have to pull the trigger. It's what it is. Now,
Speaker 1: go back to go back to this special teams thinking,
Speaker 1: this is what stayed in my mind. So Greg's urline
Speaker 1: misses three field goals, that's nine points, but also within
Speaker 1: missing the field goals. Who oh, by the way, special
Speaker 1: teams coordinator John Fossil wanted the worst way and they
Speaker 1: cut guy four Bath who was ten for ten. Way
Speaker 1: they can to the Cowboys to bring in Greg's early
Speaker 1: in the game seven and a half million dollars. So
Speaker 1: this is what I charted here. So the first special
Speaker 1: team's miss, here's what happens. Okay, the first field goal miss.
Speaker 1: Baltimore scores a field goal to make a seventeen to ten.
Speaker 1: That drive was five place fifty three yards. The second
Speaker 1: Miss Baltimore took the football, went down the field, scored
Speaker 1: a touchdown and make it twenty four to ten on
Speaker 1: a nine play fifty seven yard drive. Third Miss Baltimore
Speaker 1: takes the football, they go fifty four yards on eleven
Speaker 1: plays and they kick a field goal to make a
Speaker 1: twenty seven ten. So you just think about this, guys.
Speaker 1: You know how football works. You had to go fifty
Speaker 1: three fifty seven to fifty four yards in order to score.
Speaker 1: You can't have your field goal kicker out here missing
Speaker 1: games giving the other team the ball at that easily.
Speaker 1: It's you're given. I mean, it's you're you know, instead
Speaker 1: of making them go seventy five eighty yards, these guys
Speaker 1: are having to go in sixty yards. You've made the
Speaker 1: game so much easier for them. And that's the Parcels
Speaker 1: used to call it hitting yardage. And that's the thing
Speaker 1: is he would add up, you know how much hitting yardage,
Speaker 1: and when you started getting getting over one hundred yards
Speaker 1: of hitting yardage, he says, that's when you're losing because
Speaker 1: you're giving the other team the football. You're giving the
Speaker 1: other team an advantage in an easy way to score.
Speaker 1: So that's the thing. You miss nine points and you
Speaker 1: turn around and watch them go out here to score
Speaker 1: field goal touched out of the field goal. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry thirteen point swings because your kicker that John
Speaker 1: Fossil wanted in the worst way is out here missing. Okay,
Speaker 1: when you take seven and a half million bucks, in
Speaker 1: my mind, you gotta make those kicks. You got to
Speaker 1: you gotta make those kicks. And I just don't understand,
Speaker 1: like what was the what was the happening behind the
Speaker 1: delay a game? Like how did that? Even like you
Speaker 1: are supposed to be as a as a special at
Speaker 1: Danny you noticed, you know, Danny Bacon Millers used to
Speaker 1: do this all the time. When it was third down,
Speaker 1: it was field goal team ready, field goal team ready.
Speaker 1: So even before that third down play went down, you
Speaker 1: had your whole field goal unit ready, outside of the
Speaker 1: offensive line because they're probably on the field with the offense,
Speaker 1: but you had your whole field team go ready to
Speaker 1: go out there and execute. How do you get a
Speaker 1: the lay of game? And then you got the nerve
Speaker 1: to be called the leg and you go out there
Speaker 1: and shank it and then you shank three in a
Speaker 1: row after that. I mean, it's man, I gotta thought,
Speaker 1: I gotta thought for your church on why the delay
Speaker 1: of game may have happened. And this is just me,
Speaker 1: all right. You have a special team's coach who is
Speaker 1: accustomed to running fakes and doing stuff out of the ordinary.
Speaker 1: So as a special team's unit, you have to take
Speaker 1: your time to figure out what is being run before
Speaker 1: you go out there on the field. So I can
Speaker 1: imagine that the field goal unit was possibly sitting there
Speaker 1: wondering if they were going to run whatever fake they
Speaker 1: had in this week, or if they were going to
Speaker 1: run out there and actually kick a field goal, and
Speaker 1: that probably took a little bit of time off of it,
Speaker 1: a little bit of confusion, and that hit him with
Speaker 1: the with the delay of GA. That is my assumption
Speaker 1: of what happened, because other than that, I don't understand
Speaker 1: it because it wasn't even like it. Okay, here's what
Speaker 1: Here's what zer Line said on the delay game. He says,
Speaker 1: I think everybody was really normal. I didn't even I
Speaker 1: never looked at the clock. I mean, we just ran
Speaker 1: out there to do our normal thing. And I really
Speaker 1: don't know what happened, But five yards back from that
Speaker 1: range should not matter at all. So that is what
Speaker 1: Greg Zurline had to say about it. You never looked
Speaker 1: at the clock. How long has he been in the
Speaker 1: League's been in the league with a decade or something like,
Speaker 1: you never looked at the clock. I mean, this is well,
Speaker 1: I'll say this, okay, I'll say this for him. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's the holder's responsibility. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is because you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. I'm not sure it's fossil doing. You know
Speaker 1: he's there as well. Then let me let you understands
Speaker 1: the clock is right behind the field goal post. The
Speaker 1: clock is literally right behind the field goal post. How
Speaker 1: many how many fans are understand how many fans understand?
Speaker 1: You can't nobody can't yield? Hey, bro, you're running out
Speaker 1: of time. Kicked them up like listen. It's so it's
Speaker 1: so many things that could have been done on that
Speaker 1: play that that weren't done. But this is this is
Speaker 1: what's going on with the special teams unit all season.
Speaker 1: This is what's going on. Let me and let me
Speaker 1: tell you so, oh, go ahead, go ahead, No, he
Speaker 1: did I finish with my special teams rank before we
Speaker 1: get into offense. Let me let you hear what Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy said about it after the game, Okay, when he
Speaker 1: was asked about the special teams and um, he says,
Speaker 1: it was obviously a breakdown in the communication. At the
Speaker 1: end of at the end of the day, the operation
Speaker 1: has to be in tune with the forty second clock,
Speaker 1: so we were clearly in air there and obviously we
Speaker 1: missed the field goal. Those are the kinds of mistakes
Speaker 1: that you can't make in a game like this. We
Speaker 1: needed points there. We had an opportunity for point. We didn't.
Speaker 1: It did not come out at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: We're kicking field goal, is his u. We're kicking field
Speaker 1: goal attempts and they're scoring touchdowns. That was clearly the
Speaker 1: difference in scoring. Frankly, I thought we were going to
Speaker 1: snap the ball and kick the field goal. There was
Speaker 1: obviously a breakdown in our operations. That's from Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 1: Whatever I mean, I couldn't be a coach man. I
Speaker 1: couldn't be a coach man because there ain't no we
Speaker 1: we need to do this, we need to do that
Speaker 1: to be like look, man, Hey, he fossil messed up
Speaker 1: or zero line. He shouldn't have been looking at the clock.
Speaker 1: I pointing fingers at everybody, especially my jobs on the line. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I ain't going down for y'all. Man, it seems like
Speaker 1: Scarthy is going down with the ship kelling. More play called.
Speaker 1: He's going down, man, what's up? Hold on Church? What
Speaker 1: else is McCarthy doing on the sideline? It is weak.
Speaker 1: He ain't calling no play, no offense. He ain't calling
Speaker 1: no players defense. He is supposed to be walking up
Speaker 1: and down the sideline making sure every unit is on point.
Speaker 1: You gotta be doing something. You're just watching the game.
Speaker 1: He gotta be doing something. Man. That's what you got
Speaker 1: your coordinators for. Man, that's exactly why you got your coordinators.
Speaker 1: He got one job, man, make sure your special teams
Speaker 1: unit is ready to roll. It wasn't ready. Man. If
Speaker 1: I'm mccartey, I ain't falling on the sword for none
Speaker 1: of these fools. Man, you're still taking up the mccarthet. Understand.
Speaker 1: You need no brand. Understand Like if I'm going down
Speaker 1: to take a whole lot of people with me, call
Speaker 1: it what you want. Many they got us, They got
Speaker 1: us man. We all out, man, because I ain't no
Speaker 1: way I'm going down for this. The ain't no listen, listen,
Speaker 1: let's finish this special teams thing we got going on.
Speaker 1: All right. We tried the watermelon kick again. I think
Speaker 1: that's the only trick we got in the bag. We were.
Speaker 1: They saw it against Atlanta, all right. We already discussed
Speaker 1: the Atlanta played it. Atlanta played it completely wrong and
Speaker 1: that's the only reason that they that they that we
Speaker 1: recovered the ball. All right, Baltimore was not letting that happen.
Speaker 1: And the risk versus the reward of polar because I
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna say. Listen, uh, Pola came back.
Speaker 1: He had a big return and that kind of sparked
Speaker 1: whatever this is week twelve. The risk for the first
Speaker 1: eleven weeks of the season versus the reward for that
Speaker 1: one return, it's not worth it. Lead the ball in
Speaker 1: like like. But stuff like that, that one instance to
Speaker 1: where he broke it out, that's what's that's what's going
Speaker 1: to make him continue to bring out those balls until
Speaker 1: it kicks us in The ball kicks us you know what,
Speaker 1: it kicks us in the butt. How about that? It
Speaker 1: just doesn't make no sense. I don't understand that. This
Speaker 1: is how this is how I feel right now about
Speaker 1: watching us like this stuff doesn't make no sense. Man,
Speaker 1: Like you said, seven million dollars ago out here miss
Speaker 1: all these kicks. And I almost gave him some leeway
Speaker 1: because justin Tucker went out there and missed it. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, you know what, it must
Speaker 1: be a rough day out there in Baltimore. Must be
Speaker 1: a lot of win because of Tucker missing. And he
Speaker 1: was like some seventy straight inside of forty something like that,
Speaker 1: if he's missing, then there must be something going on.
Speaker 1: But he continued after that to go ahead and knock
Speaker 1: him through, and we just kept on missing him. So
Speaker 1: that's seven million dollars plus the hundred million dollars to
Speaker 1: the mark Cooper is making, plus the ninety million dollars.
Speaker 1: Then zekes make it. Goodness, gracious, we out there just
Speaker 1: this throwing bread away. You're talking about no return on
Speaker 1: your investments, No return on your investments. Man, you gotta
Speaker 1: cut bait, you gotta cut the loss man. All Right,
Speaker 1: we've got to take another break. Who was the biggest
Speaker 1: disappointment in last night's contest? We'll get into that whole day.
Speaker 1: I have a question. I have a question for Danny
Speaker 1: and Barry concerning that Lamar Jackson touchdown. I've got a
Speaker 1: question for them that maybe they should be able to
Speaker 1: answer because they played and they were defensive guys. We'll
Speaker 1: do that after we take the spread on the players

Speaker 1: time Cowboys reporter joined by two former Dallas Cowboys players,
Speaker 1: Danny McCray and Barry Church. So, gentlemen, you're defensive guys.
Speaker 1: Help me understand two things. One all the Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: right up the gut touchdown high school football play? Why
Speaker 1: do they not put three real linebackers out there? I
Speaker 1: see Layton vanderesh at one linebacker. I see twenty three,
Speaker 1: Darren Thompson, the safety at the other the tackle comes around.
Speaker 1: Darren Thompson didn't want no parts of that smoke. Don't
Speaker 1: blame him, not what he should be doing. And of
Speaker 1: course we saw Layton Vanderesh didn't make the play at all.
Speaker 1: But but help me understand. Why is it Mike knowl
Speaker 1: rolling out three linebackers against a team that we know
Speaker 1: wants to run the ball against eighteen where the quarterback
Speaker 1: is not trying to throw the ball, he's minus his
Speaker 1: favorite weapon to tight end Mark Andrews, he's minus his
Speaker 1: number one receiver, really sneak. Why not put three backers
Speaker 1: out there? Help me please? I don't get it. Danny McCray,
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, we don't get us. We will
Speaker 1: get us in the bear. We're gonna get us into
Speaker 1: the defensive because because I can't, I can't explain it.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff I can't explain about this defense.
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe no shredmins can help us figure this out.
Speaker 1: Because he's having those backdoor meets with McCarthy, big man.
Speaker 1: This ain't about Big Mike. That's all on Nolan right here.
Speaker 1: But like you said, NEWI okay, Like you said, nui
Speaker 1: like I can. This just doesn't make sense. It's fourth
Speaker 1: and inches. I can. Even they came out. I think
Speaker 1: they came out in eleven personnel, and you would usually
Speaker 1: run like a dime package with that personnel. But it's
Speaker 1: fourth and inches. Even with that being said, the one
Speaker 1: linebacker who supported us to be great on the run
Speaker 1: is the one guy who played it wrong. Like Darian
Speaker 1: Thompson was out there. He played it right. He was
Speaker 1: supposed to hamme bring it back. Your boy. Vander is
Speaker 1: the linebacker, the wolf hunter, the big wolf hunter out there.
Speaker 1: He's gone with a ghost fandom sweep. There's no reason
Speaker 1: to do that. You got people that I can handle
Speaker 1: the edge out there. You should be strictly focused on
Speaker 1: in between the tackles. What's your responsibility and its fourth
Speaker 1: and inches, and you got two three hundred pound guards
Speaker 1: pulling that way. Just follow, just follow the guards and
Speaker 1: you and it'll take you right to the ball. He
Speaker 1: didn't do that. He looked lost. Lamar Jackson's right up
Speaker 1: the scene for a touchdown. I mean, it's as simple
Speaker 1: as that. Man. You gotta read your keys. His eyes
Speaker 1: were too big. He was focused on too many things
Speaker 1: out there and it just led him wrong. His eyes.
Speaker 1: He had bad eyes and he was in the wrong spot.
Speaker 1: And like you said, he took accountability for it, but
Speaker 1: we all saw that was just a terrible play by
Speaker 1: one of the better linebackers that we had. And it's
Speaker 1: just it's just a microcosm of what has happened so
Speaker 1: far this season. Just everybody just letting everybody down. That's
Speaker 1: all it is. You know, you know the saying Church,
Speaker 1: you see a lot, you see a little, see a little,
Speaker 1: a little, see a lot, You see it a lot.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I don't get it. I
Speaker 1: really don't have much to say about it, except let
Speaker 1: me tell you the Baltimore Ravens have turned into a
Speaker 1: running back by a committee, which means that they don't
Speaker 1: have a superstar running back that they feel comfortable enough
Speaker 1: to put the ball in their hands in those situations.
Speaker 1: The MVP of the league was Lamar Jackson. Who else
Speaker 1: would you be looking at in that situation? I don't
Speaker 1: get it. You should if you're going to miss an assignment,
Speaker 1: you should get tricked out by going to play Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson and letting him fake you out with an option
Speaker 1: and giving it to a running back Lamar Jackson coming
Speaker 1: up the middle on that quarterback power which they have
Speaker 1: been running. Listen, NUIs, remember when I told you last
Speaker 1: week and you said they was watching the game together
Speaker 1: that RG three ranked quarterback power for like forty something yards.
Speaker 1: It's almost the same exact play we got beat on
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Makes absolutely no sense. But I don't
Speaker 1: feel bad about it because, you know what, I'm not
Speaker 1: buryed Church and I didn't expect anything different from them
Speaker 1: this week. So so I'm like, you know, that's normal,
Speaker 1: all right. So let's hear from Layton Vanderesh after the
Speaker 1: game about that play quarterback power that UH with for
Speaker 1: thirty seven yards and a touchdown for Lamar Jackson last
Speaker 1: night in Baltimore. That was one hundred scent me. That
Speaker 1: one's on me. I read the play right off the
Speaker 1: bat um and I should have just fit my assignment. Um.
Speaker 1: That one was all all on me. Um. I read
Speaker 1: it perfectly until I second guessed myself and thought he
Speaker 1: handed it to the running back. But that wasn't my job,
Speaker 1: So I need to do my job, all right. That's
Speaker 1: Layton Vanderesh. So Mike mcc dorothy was asked about his
Speaker 1: defense which gave up two hundred and ninety four yards
Speaker 1: of rushing. After the game, he was asked about the
Speaker 1: scheme and he said, quote, you know, we're pretty far
Speaker 1: down the road to blame this on scheme. Our execution
Speaker 1: clearly wasn't where it needed to be. That's a reflection
Speaker 1: of the big plays that come out. We knew that
Speaker 1: was a part of the dynamic coming into this game,
Speaker 1: and we didn't get it done. Gentlemen, your thoughts on
Speaker 1: what Mike McCarthy just said for Craig Man, Hold on, man,
Speaker 1: let me talk about this vanderass team real quickly. That
Speaker 1: really bothered me. Man, Man, how how how did you
Speaker 1: read it perfect? If you read it perfect, you would
Speaker 1: have made the play like I don't. I don't understand it, man,
Speaker 1: Like you read it perfect and you thought he handed
Speaker 1: it all. If you thought he handed, why are you
Speaker 1: looking at the ball on the first place? That's all
Speaker 1: all people, that's quarterbacks or magicians with the ball. You
Speaker 1: should not be focused on the ball at all. You
Speaker 1: should be focused on your keys. And if you read
Speaker 1: it perfectly like you said, you would have been focused
Speaker 1: on those public those pulling guards coming. You would have
Speaker 1: known you had somebody to hammer hammer and then you
Speaker 1: come in and fill. And that's such as simple as
Speaker 1: it is, if you read it perfect. You're not looking
Speaker 1: at the ball, you know, thinking somebody got to hand
Speaker 1: it off. You're doing your assignment. And look, I understand
Speaker 1: you took accountability for it, but we all saw you.
Speaker 1: It was your fault. You ain't no need to be
Speaker 1: taking accountability. Just say, hey, man, look they got it.
Speaker 1: They got me, that's it, and we know it's all
Speaker 1: on you. You messed up. Man. That's that simple as that.
Speaker 1: All right, not let me let me get to you
Speaker 1: knew he all right? What did I think about what
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said. It worries me. It worries me to
Speaker 1: demth because he is taking up from Mike Nolan. He said,
Speaker 1: it ain't the scheme pretty much, it's the guys. It's
Speaker 1: the guys that's out there on the field giving up plays.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about you can't talk about scheme. We
Speaker 1: twelve weeks into this and we're still giving up plays
Speaker 1: and messing up the scheme. So it's not what Mike
Speaker 1: Nolan's calling. I think he's calling some good stuff. We're
Speaker 1: just not going out there and execute. He's trying to
Speaker 1: save this dude, and it worries me because he will
Speaker 1: possibly be here next year, just based off McCarthy trying
Speaker 1: to go to back for him to get a second year.
Speaker 1: I saw this, check this out. I saw this tweet
Speaker 1: from ed Warder. It says the Cowboys have allowed a
Speaker 1: league high three hundred and ninety three points. That's thirty
Speaker 1: five more than the Lions, forty more than the windless Jets,
Speaker 1: forty one more than the one win Jaguars. Those teams
Speaker 1: ranking just ahead of Dallas have either already fired their
Speaker 1: head coach or expected to do so at the end
Speaker 1: of the season, and we still got our head coach
Speaker 1: trying to take up for the defensive coordinator that he
Speaker 1: brought in. Makes absolutely no sense. It worries me. What
Speaker 1: you're talking about, Big Mike, What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: That's his boy. But wait, there's more so. On one
Speaker 1: oh five three of the fans, Stephen Jones had his
Speaker 1: weekly interview and here's what he had to say. I
Speaker 1: think we've got good football players, it's just right now,
Speaker 1: we're just not executing. There's a similar group of guys
Speaker 1: on the field who last year weren't that inefficient against
Speaker 1: the run. I'm convinced we can get the job done.
Speaker 1: So that is Stephen Jones about the defense. So Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy says, hey, don't put this on the scheme. We're
Speaker 1: a little bit down far. We're far down the road.
Speaker 1: And then here Stephen Jones saying, hey, man, these dudes
Speaker 1: weren't this bad last year, okay, And we fired the
Speaker 1: coach and staff because we didn't think there was that
Speaker 1: bad last year. So I don't you know, this isn't it?
Speaker 1: So right now out of the gate, we got the
Speaker 1: head coach saying one thing. You got the owner's son
Speaker 1: saying a different thing. Here, this is not good. Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy is going to have to give up Mike Noling. Okay.
Speaker 1: I think it's that simple. After the year, you guys
Speaker 1: know how this goes, because you've seen this Cowboys footballs
Speaker 1: long as I had. When a bad season happens, somebody
Speaker 1: got to go and be sacrificed. That's just how it is.
Speaker 1: And if they're not gonna get rid of McCarthy, which
Speaker 1: they said there or not, they're not going to keep
Speaker 1: Mike Knowling. There's no way in the world. There's no way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan's gone. Mike Nolan's gone. But I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: this is I'm gonna say at sixty forty on the
Speaker 1: players on this one. I said, I give I give
Speaker 1: forty percent of the blame on Mike Nolan, but I
Speaker 1: gotta give sixty to the players because we've seen too
Speaker 1: many lapses and simple techniques. If we go back a
Speaker 1: couple of games, I think it was Arizona where whoever
Speaker 1: number twenty eighties, I think it's Robinson was back there.
Speaker 1: He was playing a deep third, flat footed and let
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk run right by him. And if you look
Speaker 1: at this game, there's Darian Thompson comes in as a
Speaker 1: as a dime safety. He's kind of settling in there.
Speaker 1: There's a receiver running right value on a special which
Speaker 1: is a deep over, and it's obviously you're a man
Speaker 1: and you let it go. I mean, these guys, I
Speaker 1: don't know if they're not picking up this scheme or
Speaker 1: what it is, but these players are just not playing
Speaker 1: good and they're not playing smart. Right now, listen, listen,
Speaker 1: I know you're sixty forty. But the one thing that
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say about this is because I've never seen
Speaker 1: my guy should Lee be confused out here like this.
Speaker 1: I've never seen it happen, and last night I saw
Speaker 1: it happen. So as much as I want to say
Speaker 1: that the players are confused and they're not picking it up,
Speaker 1: it's something that's being coached or something that's being called
Speaker 1: that has these guys out here looking like a deer
Speaker 1: in the headlights, because the confusion is real. And like
Speaker 1: I said, we talked about earlier, it ain't that many
Speaker 1: fans in the stands that the crowd is not making
Speaker 1: that much noise. When you're out there on defense, usually
Speaker 1: the corner on the opposite side of the field is
Speaker 1: the is the guy who gets the call wrong because
Speaker 1: he can't hear the sideline. This is not the case.
Speaker 1: This is your guy who's dropping down in the middle
Speaker 1: of the defense to come out there. Somebody had to
Speaker 1: communicate to him what play they were running. Because everybody
Speaker 1: else is on the right page except him. We all
Speaker 1: know that the position coaches are are messing up and
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator is bad. All right, we got thirty
Speaker 1: seconds here. Let's get out of here with it and
Speaker 1: answer this question. All right, who is the biggest disappointment
Speaker 1: in this game. Church, go Xavier Woods, Xavier Woods. Yeah, listen,
Speaker 1: Ture Hagman thought the say he was roasting him on
Speaker 1: that on on that thing. I'm going with the league man,
Speaker 1: seventy dollars to point that thing left like that great
Speaker 1: de Lague, you are the biggest disapointment for me, Greg
Speaker 1: left Erline. I'm with you, Danny. That was nine points.
Speaker 1: That's nine points and definitely could have changed this football game.
Speaker 1: And you can't make that kind of money and not
Speaker 1: make those kicks. He needed to be better than that.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll dive into who should who's playing their
Speaker 1: last four games for the Cowboys because the Cowboys got
Speaker 1: some real decisions to make. Let's dive into that tomorrow
Speaker 1: at two thirty Central time right here on the players
Speaker 1: eyes for Danny McCrae and Barry Church and our producer
Speaker 1: Chris bib I'm a new scrits. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for watching. The players are not watch you about hotels
