Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the Player's Lounge,
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 1: Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCray, and Newey Scrugs. Hey,
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, everybody. Welcome to the Players Lounge, brought to
Speaker 1: you by Hotels dot Com. I'm Knwi Scrugs Cowboys Porter,
Speaker 1: joined by Danny McCray and Barry Church, two former Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys players. Here. We took yesterday off and I think
Speaker 1: it was a very good move by our leader, Derek
Speaker 1: Eagleton Here Dallas Cowboys dot Com with the news of
Speaker 1: Marcus Paul and what happened with the Cowboys strength and
Speaker 1: conditioning coach. I didn't think it would be right for
Speaker 1: us to be on here, but we're back today. M
Speaker 1: Marcus Paul, in his first year as a Cowboys had
Speaker 1: strength and conditioning coach, had suffered air medical condition, had
Speaker 1: to be taken to the hospital and he's fighting for
Speaker 1: his life and we wish him nothing but the best.
Speaker 1: And Danny and Barry, I wanted you guys to touch
Speaker 1: a little bit because um and explain to people how
Speaker 1: important a guy like Marcus is and how he touches everyone,
Speaker 1: and also your friendship with him. Dan. Yeah. So, um,
Speaker 1: when I first got back to come work for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: Marcus had just gotten here and he was he was
Speaker 1: working for coach Warsick. So my coach Wosing introduced him
Speaker 1: to me, and then that kind of led to us
Speaker 1: kind of getting to know each other a little bit.
Speaker 1: And then when coach Worsick ended up not coming back,
Speaker 1: me and Marcus got a little closer because he was
Speaker 1: he was running the weight room and I wanted to
Speaker 1: go in there and look. Wait, So we were sit
Speaker 1: down and talk every once in a while, sit down
Speaker 1: at breakfast, you know, chop it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: He's a great guy and uh, you know, it was
Speaker 1: sad for that type of stuff for this to happen
Speaker 1: to him. And just to touch on how important to
Speaker 1: stream coaches are. We see the stream coaches as football players,
Speaker 1: probably more than you see your position coach, your head coach,
Speaker 1: and sometimes your family members. Because once April starts, you
Speaker 1: seeing these guys every single day for at least two
Speaker 1: to three hours a day. They're tracking what you're eating,
Speaker 1: they're trying to give you tips on you know, how
Speaker 1: to increase your performance. You're doing conditioning, and this goes
Speaker 1: on from April all the way through January, so you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's really it's really tough for the team
Speaker 1: to go through something like this because you know, most
Speaker 1: of the time these guys are really close with their
Speaker 1: stream coaches. Yeah, and Danny pretty much, you know, he
Speaker 1: pretty much hit everything. I mean, Marcus is a great
Speaker 1: stand up dude, the type of guy to give your
Speaker 1: shirt off his back if he if you need so.
Speaker 1: And like Danny said, we met him at during the
Speaker 1: off season when you know that he didn't have to
Speaker 1: let us in the weight room to work out, but
Speaker 1: we needed somewhere to work out, and you know, like
Speaker 1: the nice guy he is, he let us get up
Speaker 1: in there. And like when Voss went away or didn't
Speaker 1: decide to come back, Marcus took over and we were
Speaker 1: in there with him almost every day and got to
Speaker 1: know him, and he's a great dude. And you said,
Speaker 1: you hate to see this happen to anybody, especially a
Speaker 1: guy that's so you know, kind and carrying like Marcus.
Speaker 1: But you know, hopefully he's he's fighting right now. Hopefully
Speaker 1: you know, he has that fighting spirits, so hopefully he
Speaker 1: can pull through. But um, like you said, I mean,
Speaker 1: it is a terrible situation. But I think it was
Speaker 1: a great move by Derek and everybody to kind of
Speaker 1: hold things yesterday, and you know, hopefully prayers and thoughts
Speaker 1: goes out to Marcus and his family and hopefully he's
Speaker 1: able to pull through. His family has been coming into town.
Speaker 1: The Jones family has been instrumental in helping out Marcus
Speaker 1: Paul's family during this tough time right before Thanksgiving, and
Speaker 1: those are you know, those are those are the things
Speaker 1: that I have seen through the years where Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: and his family have quietly helped people in the organization
Speaker 1: during some during tough time. So we definitely send our
Speaker 1: prayers out to the Paul family. And also just yesterday,
Speaker 1: there were a lot of people out there putting out
Speaker 1: reports that Marcus Paul passed away, and there are a
Speaker 1: lot of people who had to take those reports down.
Speaker 1: I just felt very bad for his daughter to had
Speaker 1: to put out on social media that her father was
Speaker 1: contrary to reports, her father had not passed, And as
Speaker 1: an immediate person, I just feel that we have to
Speaker 1: go back to some type of standard. You can't scoop death.
Speaker 1: As Clarence Hill the sport Worth Star Telegram said, there's
Speaker 1: no reward for being first on something like this. Use
Speaker 1: the proper discretion. You wait on the team or a
Speaker 1: family member to confirm if something has happened. And anyway,
Speaker 1: did you see this happen one more time? In our industry?
Speaker 1: I just shook my head yesterday. You know, we can
Speaker 1: all hear things, but when you put them out as reports,
Speaker 1: as you put them out as fact, the media has
Speaker 1: got to be better than that. And fellas I always
Speaker 1: tell people, I said, this is why they hate us.
Speaker 1: That's what I said. This is why players hate us
Speaker 1: because when you see stuff like this happen, and you
Speaker 1: just see you see relatively the inhumanity any of it.
Speaker 1: And then did people just take it down? And then
Speaker 1: don't have you know, Okay, so if you put it
Speaker 1: up there and you were wrong, why don't you put
Speaker 1: up a post that comes up and says, hey, I
Speaker 1: put out something that was wrong and I'm sought. You know,
Speaker 1: people just want to hit the delete button act like
Speaker 1: it didn't happen, Like no, no, no, you put this
Speaker 1: out here. You said something happen and it didn't and
Speaker 1: it involved debt that you put out there. Yeah, it's irresponsible, man.
Speaker 1: And then with that, you know, like you got to realize,
Speaker 1: like how many people that affects, right, Because these coaches
Speaker 1: they don't just coach for the Cowboys, They come from
Speaker 1: other organizations. They know college kids, they know professional kids,
Speaker 1: they know other coaches around the league. So when you
Speaker 1: report something like that and it starts spreading, that's affecting
Speaker 1: the emotions of people all around the country, not just
Speaker 1: not just us. There's reading in his family. It's affecting
Speaker 1: everybody that these work with, his colleagues, all that. So
Speaker 1: at that point, everybody's thinking that this horrible thing has happened.
Speaker 1: And then for you to just go out and then
Speaker 1: delete it and not address it that, yeah, like you said,
Speaker 1: that's unprofessional and that's not the way to go about stuff.
Speaker 1: Just do the right thing and don't rush it. Like
Speaker 1: like you said, let a family member or an organization
Speaker 1: confirm it and let let us know what happened, and
Speaker 1: then speak on after that. But you don't need to
Speaker 1: be first and excited about reporting you know that somebody
Speaker 1: has passed away within one hundred percent. And we talk
Speaker 1: about Marcus Paul Tweedy, universally loved man through the National
Speaker 1: Football League. He was a part of five championship teams,
Speaker 1: two with the Giants and three with the Patriots. A
Speaker 1: former player played in Chicago with the Bears, and Ron Rivera,
Speaker 1: who the head coach the watching the football team, he's
Speaker 1: a former teammates. There were teammates together. So yes, you
Speaker 1: know you're talking about a guy that that you know,
Speaker 1: people in the inner workings of the National Football League
Speaker 1: know and respect so and fellas you know, I think,
Speaker 1: and this is me. I think there's a standards the
Speaker 1: way you got to do this business. And for me,
Speaker 1: as as I was talking to my people over at
Speaker 1: NBC five in Dallas and telling them what I knew,
Speaker 1: and with people that ask things, I take it has
Speaker 1: to be confirmed by the Cowboys. We just have to
Speaker 1: wait the Cowboys or the family. If it's not coming
Speaker 1: from them, then we don't need to put anything out.
Speaker 1: And I didn't retweet anybody nothing because I just felt
Speaker 1: that that's it was just the proper thing to do.
Speaker 1: And you said, there's a lot of people out there,
Speaker 1: hopefully they'll be a little bit better about how they
Speaker 1: go about this because it's uh to put it to
Speaker 1: watch to see that the things come from his family.
Speaker 1: I thought it was very heartbreaking and just how we
Speaker 1: in the media need to be better and how we
Speaker 1: treat people and and have a better standard about it,
Speaker 1: because there's nothing wrong with waiting. There's just nothing wrong.
Speaker 1: There's no medals, you know, guys that nobody, nobody at
Speaker 1: my place gives me a medal. If we're first on someone,
Speaker 1: it just doesn't happen. So yeah, we definitely have to
Speaker 1: have some discretion and be better about what we're doing
Speaker 1: and just use a standard. So the Cowboys are three
Speaker 1: and seven. The Washington football team is a three and seventeen.
Speaker 1: They meet for the second time. They will do it
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day. It will be the final Thanksgiving Day
Speaker 1: game because the NFL has postponed the Steelers and Ravens
Speaker 1: game from late night tomorrow on NBC to Sunday. So Danny,
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. The Cowboys were embarrassed in Washington
Speaker 1: and didn't score touchdown and Andy Dalton was knocked out
Speaker 1: of the game on a cheap shot by John Boston.
Speaker 1: How much payback comes into this game. How much of
Speaker 1: wanting to defend the home turf on Thanksgiving Day? How
Speaker 1: much of the rivalry? Me tell me how much goes
Speaker 1: into this football game emotionally for the Cowboys. And also
Speaker 1: you have what happened with the strength coach Marcus Paul.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all the above. One is the traditional
Speaker 1: Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. That's always huge for us as players,
Speaker 1: because not many teams get the opportunity to do it,
Speaker 1: and especially not do it how the Cowboys do it.
Speaker 1: As far as that whooping that we took earlier this year,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, the Washington football team's defense
Speaker 1: is still a very good defense. Be thinking about going
Speaker 1: out here and try to get revenge, I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: thinking about just trying to continue to improve our player
Speaker 1: the way that we've been doing over the past three weeks.
Speaker 1: And defensively, you know, they weren't as good as they
Speaker 1: are now. I think Alex Smith has brought another another
Speaker 1: level to their offense. So we're gonna have to fix
Speaker 1: some things up, but I think that we can get
Speaker 1: it done, uh and possibly get this win. But it's
Speaker 1: it's very huge emotionally and and for the fact that
Speaker 1: we could take over the division league and make Church
Speaker 1: happy that he can get closer to Nick and SAMs
Speaker 1: and get a free meal. So it's it's gonna it's
Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be a huge day tomorrow. The
Speaker 1: players should be ready to have a lot to play for.
Speaker 1: You know, it's Marcus will be heavy on their minds
Speaker 1: and hearts, and hopefully he pulls through and that'd be
Speaker 1: more inspiration for these guys to go out there and
Speaker 1: play for him. Yes, indeed, yes, indeedy, it's definitely a
Speaker 1: prime time game. I mean, look, you're in the NFC
Speaker 1: and you're you're the Dallas Cowboys. It's just it blows
Speaker 1: my mind that where do we three seven right now?
Speaker 1: Washington's three and seven and we have a primetime game
Speaker 1: on things given. I mean, I remember when I was
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and we were almost undefeated and we were
Speaker 1: scratching the clawn and they would barely put us on
Speaker 1: a three o'clock game. So it just must be nice
Speaker 1: to play for the Dallas Cowboys. But overall, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is huge. This is primetime game for first place
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. I mean, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: tough one. It's gonna be a tough one. Overall, I
Speaker 1: think offensively, we've gotten a lot better than the last
Speaker 1: showing we had out in Washington. The conditions weren't good
Speaker 1: and we just got beat down. We got demolished that game.
Speaker 1: But I think it'll be a different story coming around
Speaker 1: this game. Offensive line, we did a couple mix and
Speaker 1: matching with our offensive line and putt you know, Zach
Speaker 1: Martin at right tackle, and I think that proved to
Speaker 1: be the best solution. Just put the five best offensive
Speaker 1: linemen out there and see what happens, and it ended
Speaker 1: up being pretty productive. So if we can pull if
Speaker 1: we can get that same momentum from that line into
Speaker 1: this game, I think it'll prove dividends against a stingy
Speaker 1: Washington defense. We gotta get Zeke going on the ground,
Speaker 1: which I think we can. I think he's starting to
Speaker 1: starting to roll a little bit, but hopefully we can
Speaker 1: get him going and that'll alleviate some of the pressure
Speaker 1: off of Andy Dalton. But our defense, I'm still kind
Speaker 1: of concerned about him. I mean, I think I heard
Speaker 1: reports about about Anthony Brown kind of maybe missing this
Speaker 1: game or not. But overall, our secondary, they scare me.
Speaker 1: We're out Treyvon Diggs and Alex Smith, who he's been
Speaker 1: shaky this season. He's been up and down coming back
Speaker 1: from that gruesome injury he had, but if he can
Speaker 1: put some things together, he's still a dangerous quarterback. So overall,
Speaker 1: I'm up and down about this game. I still got
Speaker 1: the Cowboys winning this one. But I mean it's going
Speaker 1: to be a heck of an event primetime. I mean,
Speaker 1: you where would you rather be? Let me put a
Speaker 1: little detail on that for your church before you get
Speaker 1: all happy about us going on the role. All Right,
Speaker 1: the Washington football team is the number one defense against
Speaker 1: the past, all right, So ezekiel Elli is going to
Speaker 1: have to do work. We are not the only team
Speaker 1: that they went out there and made it look horrible
Speaker 1: as far as their dvs defending our receiver. So it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a big, big challenge and a big day
Speaker 1: for Zeke. So we're gonna need him to get out
Speaker 1: there and do some special our secondary. Let me tell yourself,
Speaker 1: they'd better focus on that dude McLaren because he is
Speaker 1: an absolute beast on a bad team. But if you
Speaker 1: let him get open, if you let him, you know,
Speaker 1: ute route us up and get down field. Alex Smith
Speaker 1: can make those throws and they'll be striking the bells
Speaker 1: because it'll be some long touchdowns going on. We just
Speaker 1: need to play a little bit better in the secondary
Speaker 1: and hopefully Nolan can can can draw up some stuff
Speaker 1: to where we can disguise and we can get some
Speaker 1: double teams on their best guy, McClaren. So, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: piggyback on what you just said there, mccraig. Alex Smith
Speaker 1: and his experience has been so helpful to the passion game.
Speaker 1: Is Steven Simms if you look at his numbers. Since
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is coming to the game, this is a
Speaker 1: young man who's who's playing good football now because Alex
Speaker 1: Smith is finding him able to get out there and
Speaker 1: find a secondary receiver, not just the first read of
Speaker 1: a guy like McClaren Jadie mckissi coming out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: He's been able to you know, if you play fantasy football,
Speaker 1: you've noticed Jade mkiss has been a guy who's been
Speaker 1: a top twenty player along with the rookie Antonio Gibson.
Speaker 1: So Alex Smith's experience has helped Washington's passing game overall,
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys are gonna have to stop the run.
Speaker 1: Linebackers got to be aware for the running backs coming
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. But yeah, Steven Simms is a
Speaker 1: guy you're gonna have to look out for because Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: when I watched the game last week, Cincinnati did did
Speaker 1: a decent job and not letting McLaurin just torch them.
Speaker 1: But on the other side, Simms was out here catching
Speaker 1: some passes and moving the sticks a little bit, so
Speaker 1: that they're definitely going to have two receivers in the
Speaker 1: outlet that you know in the in the route tree
Speaker 1: going out there. And then of course he got the
Speaker 1: tight end, and the tight end was a factor in
Speaker 1: the first game when they when they had Kyle Allen
Speaker 1: and they beat the Cowboys. So there's another guy that
Speaker 1: you know in that passing game you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: look out for. So Washington is not going to be
Speaker 1: the easy w I think certain fans are believing that
Speaker 1: will be based off last week's winning performance in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: This is still a team that's gonna go out there
Speaker 1: to compete. Vegas had as it as a three point win.
Speaker 1: When we come back, let's discuss Andy Dalton because the
Speaker 1: last time Andy Dalton played this Washington football team, it
Speaker 1: was not good. Got knocked out. Let's get inside the
Speaker 1: mind of the quarterback and a possible revenge adding for him.

Speaker 1: wait no, no, quick wait quickly, quickly the quick question.
Speaker 1: We don't stay on the long we can move on.
Speaker 1: Who are you more excited to watch fight? The Spence
Speaker 1: fight or this Mike Tyson and Roy Jones fight? Which
Speaker 1: one are you more? You more inclined to tune into it?
Speaker 1: That's an easy one. What you're watching Spence over, Spence
Speaker 1: over over Roy and uh and Mike. I'm interested. I'm
Speaker 1: interested in why man? You know, when it comes to
Speaker 1: you and you and the television, man, you already know
Speaker 1: new him. Man. I thought I thought for show he
Speaker 1: would have been with the old school though, but I
Speaker 1: mean he flipped on that one. When it comes to boxing.
Speaker 1: I am I am truly one of those guys that
Speaker 1: that sees dudes at a certain point, I'm like, please
Speaker 1: get out. I mean, I've just seen far too many fights.
Speaker 1: So I'm just like this, this guy needs to be
Speaker 1: out of the ring, and these guys don't need to
Speaker 1: be in the ring. And and I've when I worked
Speaker 1: in La you know, La said great boxing town, and
Speaker 1: so I would I did a Sunday night show and
Speaker 1: we would bring guys in and literally, man, you couldn't understand.
Speaker 1: I had great boom boom man SENI in one time
Speaker 1: and I did an interview and I could barely make
Speaker 1: out what he was saying. I remember the time we
Speaker 1: interviewed smoking Joe Frasier when I'm a radio shot in La. Man,
Speaker 1: we could barely understand what he was saying. And I
Speaker 1: always felt that these were the effects of boxing. You
Speaker 1: know that we talked about CT and NFL players, And
Speaker 1: so when I see guys in there like Tyson and
Speaker 1: Roy Jo, I'm like, man, get out, stop taking these
Speaker 1: blows to the head. Get out while you can, man,
Speaker 1: because that's you're not gonna watch. I said, I'm gonna watch.
Speaker 1: You just said what would I preferred you watch? I
Speaker 1: would rather say said which, you know, which was going
Speaker 1: to be more entertaining. Minus you know, like listen, they fight,
Speaker 1: so they're not getting out the ring they're getting in,
Speaker 1: so you gotta take that part out. I do not
Speaker 1: get any pleasure and watching old dudes fight none. Zero.
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't. I just don't. That's I
Speaker 1: didn't see a clip. I didn't see a clip of
Speaker 1: Roy Jones getting worked out in Russia, and I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: he'd been not coming there with Tyson looking like that. Listen,
Speaker 1: the last time we saw Mike Tyson it wasn't pretty either,
Speaker 1: all right. So all that trading on the bask it's
Speaker 1: a little something, all right. So they both they both
Speaker 1: probably a little rusted, so it's a perfect matchup. They
Speaker 1: all right. To watch Lennox Lewis take on Mike Mike
Speaker 1: Tyson and Memphis, that was, that was. That's just not
Speaker 1: the way I want to remember him. To watch Muhammad
Speaker 1: Ali taking on Larry Holmes when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: to watch Ali getting beat up in Larry Holmes looking
Speaker 1: at the referee like, why haven't you stop this? I
Speaker 1: don't want to do this. Um No, I don't because
Speaker 1: it's for me. It's I want to remember these guys
Speaker 1: a certain way. I don't want to look at them
Speaker 1: in this ring and see them in this fashion that
Speaker 1: that's just's just me. That's all these guys mean. It's
Speaker 1: it's it's a hard sport to walk away from None
Speaker 1: of these guys, dude, none of them walk away when
Speaker 1: they should. It's it's uh, Marvin Hagler, that's the only
Speaker 1: guy who walked away. Floyd was out there, Yes, Floyd, Yes,
Speaker 1: I was the correct fo Yeah, Royd. And see the
Speaker 1: thing about Floyd where I kind of put him in
Speaker 1: a different, different thing than the Marvin hack. Floyd's game
Speaker 1: was always I'm not gonna let you get to me.
Speaker 1: You know, you're not gonna touch me. That was always
Speaker 1: been That was always how he operated. You know, Marvin
Speaker 1: was in there mixing it up, you know, and those
Speaker 1: great divisions he was in when you know Sugar May, Leonard,
Speaker 1: Tommy Hurds and these guys were all going where you know,
Speaker 1: they were sitting up here brawling. Floyd's thing was never
Speaker 1: about trying to say on tote toe with you, because
Speaker 1: those you know, those those total toe blows, those are
Speaker 1: the ones that over time, man, they they you know,
Speaker 1: they take it so long. Ken Norton, Ken Norton Senior.
Speaker 1: You know there's another guy I would see Ken Norton
Speaker 1: when when he would come to Cowboy games, because Ken
Speaker 1: Junior was playing back in the early nine years and
Speaker 1: it was hard to, you know, to to it was
Speaker 1: hard to to hear him. And so so yeah, we're
Speaker 1: different on that good good, good, good good good one, Danny.
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry, I'm sorry I let you down again. Sorry.
Speaker 1: By the way, how was how was? How was below deck?
Speaker 1: The other day? It was it Monday? You watched it?
Speaker 1: It was? It was it? Listen it was it was good, bro.
Speaker 1: You should you should check it out. Like I said,
Speaker 1: one of these days, I'm gonna I'm gonna put some
Speaker 1: money in my account, make sure I save it up
Speaker 1: real nice and nice and heavy liking. And I'm dripping
Speaker 1: on a nice little yacht trip. But you might see
Speaker 1: me on the Little Dick. Okay, I'm just I'm just
Speaker 1: waiting on Jerry Jones and let me roll in his his, uh,
Speaker 1: his his, his wife's yacht. So that's that's my hope.
Speaker 1: One day I get to roll with the Jones family
Speaker 1: on keeping keeping a Hey, we all got to have dreams, baby,
Speaker 1: we all have to have dreams. Let's get back into
Speaker 1: this uh Washington football team. Coming to Jerry World, Cowboys
Speaker 1: looking to avoid to sweep against them this year Andy
Speaker 1: knocked out of this football game with a cheap shot.
Speaker 1: Last week was Andy's first game backs and stealing with
Speaker 1: COVID and that concussion. How much payback do you think
Speaker 1: is in Andy's bundy about this football game and wanting
Speaker 1: to get this win all Thanksgiving Day in front of
Speaker 1: the country. Go ahead, be church, he gotta, he gotta,
Speaker 1: he gotta play well for you for your dreams to
Speaker 1: come true. So go Yeah. No, I don't think much
Speaker 1: of revenge is gonna go into this one. To be
Speaker 1: honest with you, I think this Dallas team is gonna
Speaker 1: go out there and I think they're focused. I think
Speaker 1: they're focused on one goal and that's that's getting to
Speaker 1: the NFC East or winning the NFC East. And we
Speaker 1: know Washington stands in their way. So I don't think
Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of you know, dumb cheap penalties
Speaker 1: here and there, because they know they're not good enough
Speaker 1: to go ahead and go out there and get all
Speaker 1: these penalties and still win the game. So if they're smart,
Speaker 1: if you know, coach McCarthy got to them and uh
Speaker 1: and goat in their heads and let them know, like, look,
Speaker 1: there's no there's no reason to be out here retaliating
Speaker 1: on this Washington team. Let's just go out there, just
Speaker 1: beat them within the whistles and beat them with our
Speaker 1: pads and our play. And I think they'll go out
Speaker 1: there and do that. I think Andy Dalton, like you know,
Speaker 1: I was wrong last week, but I think Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: will come come to play this league as well, and
Speaker 1: he'll go out there and lead this offense, and I
Speaker 1: think he'll show some confidence in the offense and be
Speaker 1: able to move it down the field. I think Kelly
Speaker 1: Moore comes with a great game plan once again, and
Speaker 1: as long as we get the ball to our stars,
Speaker 1: like McCray always says, if we can get it to
Speaker 1: Cooper who had a who had a quiet night, but
Speaker 1: he had good stats, if we can get him the
Speaker 1: ball and that in that type of volume as well
Speaker 1: as feeding Zi opportunity to beat Washington and take over
Speaker 1: first place in the NFC East. Yeah, I'm with you, Church.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think it's about revenge. I actually
Speaker 1: I hope it's not. I hope he's focused on doing
Speaker 1: what he needs to do to win the game. And
Speaker 1: not like focusing in on Bostick or trying to take
Speaker 1: advantage of linebackers, or thinking about how he took that
Speaker 1: hit last time. Focus on the task at hand, which
Speaker 1: is getting the ball to nineteen, turn around handed to
Speaker 1: twenty one, manage getting the ball out of your hand
Speaker 1: quickly because you know the pass rush is coming. Just
Speaker 1: do those key things that you need to win the game.
Speaker 1: And I think that, I really think that they might
Speaker 1: have a chance to pull this one off. Church. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be with you this week. I'm just I'm just
Speaker 1: letting you know I'll be with you this week. But Andy,
Speaker 1: don't go ahead and focus on what you need to do, man,
Speaker 1: and you can get this thing done this game, this game.
Speaker 1: I got some cool aid for you, Man, I got
Speaker 1: some cool AIGs. I'm just right downstairs, nice and blue
Speaker 1: for you. Don't come on listen, you're already sitting on it, Church, already,
Speaker 1: I had them going five, I mean four and twelve,
Speaker 1: so I mean they only got three wins. They can
Speaker 1: hear the hesitation in your voice. Man, you almost over
Speaker 1: that that line. You're like, Man, you know what, Church, Listen, listen, listen,
Speaker 1: put put put your GM head on at the end
Speaker 1: of the season, or actually right now, I don't want
Speaker 1: you to forget that even though that were playing for
Speaker 1: first place, were still three and seven. All right, don't
Speaker 1: don't let that mask up the fact that we are
Speaker 1: three and seven football team. All right. Back back when
Speaker 1: we played it, we was four and twelve. It wasn't
Speaker 1: nothing massed up, a right. The only thing that that
Speaker 1: was different was the division wasn't as bad as it
Speaker 1: is now, all right, So so don't don't mask the
Speaker 1: fact that we were three or seven. Say, look, you're
Speaker 1: already trying to convince yourself that the Cowboys aren't going. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you here the hesitation already see it. Man,
Speaker 1: you're trying to convince yourself that you're right that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys have no chance. But they do. And I got
Speaker 1: this cool a for you knew it, you too. Let
Speaker 1: me we'll want to pile man. Let me know we
Speaker 1: yall we will ask man, we will. We will make
Speaker 1: the official predictions and give the score for what we
Speaker 1: think will happen on Thanksgiving Day. In the next segment,
Speaker 1: we are right here the players. I just wrought you
Speaker 1: by Hotels dot Com on our SWBC Virtual Mortgage Home Studios.
Speaker 1: So Mike McCarthy you smashing watermelons as his pregame speech
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys before the Minnesota game. Does he need
Speaker 1: a pregame speech here at all? First places on the line, Danny,
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. First of all, that watermelon stuff
Speaker 1: didn't work. All right. The dudes came out and they
Speaker 1: and they played football. They don't give the thing about
Speaker 1: the watermelon. It gets marriston the meeting, So it's quitted
Speaker 1: with all the props, all right, Say what all coaches
Speaker 1: have to give some type of pregame speech, you know,
Speaker 1: let the players know that they need to be focused
Speaker 1: in X y Z. But I think this is on
Speaker 1: the players if they go out there and they're focused.
Speaker 1: And like I said, the defense have been playing better,
Speaker 1: specifically because they've been hustling and running to the football.
Speaker 1: They haven't made that any plays in the passing game.
Speaker 1: They're not making tackle for losses like they're crazy, but
Speaker 1: they're covering up a lot of their mistakes by hustling
Speaker 1: to the football. Come out and do that and they'll
Speaker 1: be fine. But the smashing watermelon things, to me, it
Speaker 1: was irrelevant. That doesn't make much sense as far as
Speaker 1: getting the players hype the night before the games, I
Speaker 1: promise you they want thinking about the Dame watermelons while
Speaker 1: they was warming up or kickoff. Yeah, this one is
Speaker 1: solely on the players. I mean, if you got to
Speaker 1: get extra motivation to go out there, I guess a
Speaker 1: division rivalry for the gains arrival for the first place
Speaker 1: in your division. I mean, you're in the wrong business.
Speaker 1: I mean this comes down to simple man on man,
Speaker 1: bone on bone, football embarrassed the time. That should be
Speaker 1: the added that should be the only motivation you need
Speaker 1: to go out there. You went up to Washington. Yes,
Speaker 1: the conditions were terrible, but you went up to Washington
Speaker 1: and they literally smack you in the face and sent
Speaker 1: you back to Dallas only scoring three points. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you need any more motivation, like I said, you're
Speaker 1: in the wrong business. But I think they'll be definitely
Speaker 1: highly motivated to go out there and defeat this Washington
Speaker 1: team that embarrassed them up in Washington last time. So overall,
Speaker 1: I don't think that you know, the watermelons, all that
Speaker 1: good stuff. I don't think they'll need to do any
Speaker 1: of that. I just need to think they need to
Speaker 1: stay focused on task at hand, and I think they'll
Speaker 1: come out with a dub. Mike McCarthy said it best.
Speaker 1: I thought last week after the Minnesota win, you have
Speaker 1: to make this win means something. And when he says that,
Speaker 1: he means, hey, we've got to turn this into a
Speaker 1: string of some victories here. The Cowboys still have the
Speaker 1: opportunity at this point in time to win the NFC East.
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a good football game in
Speaker 1: my opinion. Up next, one thing, one statistic. I think
Speaker 1: that we'll determine who wins the game between Washington and
Speaker 1: Dallas tomorrow and one Thanksgiving Day side is a must
Speaker 1: for your turkey. We'll go through that, and Nostre Damas
Speaker 1: is back to make his prediction as we do. Cowboys

Speaker 1: by Hotels dot Com. I was out at the Star
Speaker 1: yesterday and they put the Christmas tree up, so people
Speaker 1: are out there on the Tostitos Championship closet throwing the
Speaker 1: football around and they are literally beating up the Christmas
Speaker 1: tree and the decorations around you. I think I saw
Speaker 1: about five footballs going to that tree. And these kids
Speaker 1: come in there and I think it was where's the
Speaker 1: security at They're about they're about to tell Verry Tree, man,
Speaker 1: Cherry Tree about to fall down, and uh so, so
Speaker 1: that if you're out there, you know, you know, let
Speaker 1: me know how long that tree's gonna make it, because
Speaker 1: I'm I'm worried. Man, I don't worried Jerry Tree gonna
Speaker 1: get all jacked up before before the end of the weekend. Man,
Speaker 1: And no mask on that tree every and maintenance on
Speaker 1: that tree every day. Do what I'm glad you said.
Speaker 1: I just don't understand the risk. People. Are you rich
Speaker 1: your life in anything? You take a picture with sad
Speaker 1: and solely socially distance, go see the country tree out
Speaker 1: of there. Then you get lost in the sauce and
Speaker 1: start throwing the ball around didn't get a little hot,
Speaker 1: so you take your mask off or you know what,
Speaker 1: your troupe. I just don't understand it. Just it don't
Speaker 1: make sense to me. But hey, man, to each us
Speaker 1: all the football came over close to me and and
Speaker 1: my photographer. He didn't throw it back. He kicked it back.
Speaker 1: Or it's like, oh yeah, that's pretty smart. He's like,
Speaker 1: you know, I ain't gonna touch the football. So uh yeah,
Speaker 1: it is Uh, it is interesting. It is definitely interesting.
Speaker 1: All right, gentlemen, um, let's just go ahead, get to it. Man, Barry,
Speaker 1: you've been on a run. Congratulations, you were right about
Speaker 1: Monday Night football, the Rams one. Uh McCray and I
Speaker 1: were wrong. So so I'll just I'm gonna I would
Speaker 1: give you. I would give you the floor right away here,
Speaker 1: thanksgiving that game. You've already got the Cowboys when it
Speaker 1: gets the church. Give me the prediction, baby, get the
Speaker 1: whole thing. I appreciate that, my brother. You know, I
Speaker 1: went out there like a bid I predicted. I predicted
Speaker 1: that Monday night game. Um, I pretty much knew what
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. I told y'all, you know, and Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald was gonna get that interior pressure on Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and he was gonna struggle, and that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: He threw multiple interceptions out there. So that's beside the point.
Speaker 1: Let's let's go ahead and get to this Thanksgiving contest
Speaker 1: between the cow Tells, between the Cowboys and and UH
Speaker 1: and Washington football team. Um. This this was a tough one.
Speaker 1: This was a tough one because last how we went
Speaker 1: up there, we got embarrassed and Gibson, he went off
Speaker 1: on us. The run game was was out of this
Speaker 1: world for Washington. I felt like they did whatever they
Speaker 1: wanted to and that opened up their past game and
Speaker 1: Kyle Island was able to pretty much pick us apart.
Speaker 1: But I think it'll be a little bit different this time.
Speaker 1: I think as a whole, you know, the conditions won't
Speaker 1: be as bad as they were up there. It was rainy,
Speaker 1: I was sloppy, and you know that's not an excuse
Speaker 1: for all the mistackles we had up there, but it
Speaker 1: will definitely help being in the in the Cowboys facility.
Speaker 1: So I beat us with his arm and I just
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be able to do that. You know,
Speaker 1: it's been a good, you know, good story for him
Speaker 1: to come back and be able to battle. But I
Speaker 1: think this Cowboys defense puts it on pretty and we
Speaker 1: provide pressure, and I think he calls up the ball
Speaker 1: multiple times, and overall, I think the defense wins this
Speaker 1: game for us, contrary to belief. You know, everybody thinks
Speaker 1: Andy Dot is going to be you know, this lightning
Speaker 1: rod for our offense. But I think our defense overall
Speaker 1: wins this game for us. I got the score being
Speaker 1: for twenty four thirteen Cowboys. Wow boy, you got okay?
Speaker 1: All right? Not not just the defense, the defense of
Speaker 1: secondary is going to win the game for us. Yea,
Speaker 1: oh man, you heard it here first the Crussian cover
Speaker 1: working together, man running deep in the deefend the veins
Speaker 1: of Bury Church. Yeah, I already know. I'm kind of
Speaker 1: with you on the pick of like who's gonna win,
Speaker 1: But I think you got it. I think you have
Speaker 1: it totally wrong on how this game is going to
Speaker 1: play out, all right. I think this is going to
Speaker 1: be a higher scoring game than that. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: something like thirty two, thirty two to twenty one, thirty three,
Speaker 1: twenty one somewhere in there. And I think that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys will find their way, listen, the defense is playing better,
Speaker 1: the offense is playing better. At some point the special
Speaker 1: teams is going to tie this all in and everybody's
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Do it at the same exact time.
Speaker 1: All right, they kind of did it against Pittsburgh, but
Speaker 1: we still lost that game. I think this will be
Speaker 1: the game where we play a full, complete game on
Speaker 1: all three phases and we get this thing done. The
Speaker 1: special teams will make a play, uh, you know, possibly
Speaker 1: to help us give us a lead. The defense will
Speaker 1: play better, but I think we're still going to give
Speaker 1: up a lot of yards in the air and probably
Speaker 1: over one hundred and fifteen on the ground. I still
Speaker 1: think we're going to be giving up some yards because
Speaker 1: you know, Washington is playing better and Alex Smith can
Speaker 1: get things done much better than Kyle Allen, I believe.
Speaker 1: But I do think that Ezekiel Elliott, I think I
Speaker 1: think Alex Smith is better than Kyle Allen. Uh, you're right,
Speaker 1: You're right, You're right, and there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: You are right. What we don't talk about Alex Smith
Speaker 1: fourteen we talk about Smith. You you obviously have not
Speaker 1: watched the Washington football team game over the last few
Speaker 1: weeks her two touchdowns in four interceptions. One of those
Speaker 1: games he's playing, he's playing well, and you'll see he's
Speaker 1: playing better than cow Well. I've been looking like a
Speaker 1: church at church. As you said it, it don't even matter.
Speaker 1: That's not even what beat us last time. They didn't
Speaker 1: need Kyle Ellen to beat us the last time he
Speaker 1: played them. Alex Smith is going to have a good
Speaker 1: game because our defensive secondary is still to get right.
Speaker 1: But I think that Coop and Zeke will show up
Speaker 1: and show out, and I think Zeke will You'll have
Speaker 1: somewhere over one hundred twenty five hundred and fifty in
Speaker 1: and Coop will get get a touchdown, and how to
Speaker 1: put us some of those thirty points and how to
Speaker 1: get us to win, and that'll be our fourth win
Speaker 1: of the season and probably the last. I go back.
Speaker 1: I'll take that. I go back to what I said
Speaker 1: earlier a couple of weeks back. I can't pick the
Speaker 1: Cowboys until I see them win. I saw them win
Speaker 1: a game last week. I gave that I didn't think
Speaker 1: that you're smart smart, right, I can now go walk
Speaker 1: through that door again. I'm gonna go walk through that
Speaker 1: door again and This is going to be a Buried
Speaker 1: Church special because Andy Dalton is going to come out
Speaker 1: here and play well enough and leave the Cowboys on
Speaker 1: they come back twenty seven twenty three win at at
Speaker 1: and T Statium red rifle. Waiter done, waiter, waiter. I
Speaker 1: need two glasses of glasses of that that cool aid
Speaker 1: right here. Thank you, Bye, think I need too glass?
Speaker 1: Thank you? Hey? Get my scores thirty three to twenty one.
Speaker 1: And why is he celebrating? We all said that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys were still going to win some games this season,
Speaker 1: and Washington was one of the ones that was circling
Speaker 1: all right now. Now we talked about we're gonna win
Speaker 1: win some games this season. Man, I tell y'all, what
Speaker 1: can you can you go back? Can you go? Do
Speaker 1: you still have you got us? With what we got us?
Speaker 1: Game I do? Listen, I did not circle Minnesota, so
Speaker 1: about the hand, I didn't circle Minnesota so that that
Speaker 1: could be one. So we could possibly go five forty level.
Speaker 1: But I'm still sitting on four and twelve and I
Speaker 1: don't see us when I still don't have I was
Speaker 1: winning the division. They could change my mind on Thursday.
Speaker 1: They could change my mind on Thursday a little bit.
Speaker 1: But you know, if they come out here and they stick,
Speaker 1: they stick up the joint Church, I'll meet you. I'll
Speaker 1: meet you, Nika. Sam. Actually, send me an uber b
Speaker 1: send me an uber because just because you're my boy,
Speaker 1: Just because you're my boy and I've known you for
Speaker 1: ten years, man, actually was eleven years. Now. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and reserve your glass. Man, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: pour it out or throw it and throw it in
Speaker 1: a trash or nothing like that. You got a big
Speaker 1: old glass with your name on it. Whenever you feel
Speaker 1: the need to come on over. Man, you too, knew
Speaker 1: all right? Game here okay, here's here's the readjust okay,
Speaker 1: November six, we did the readjust all right and the
Speaker 1: readjust d MAC. You had four and twelve, okay, Church,
Speaker 1: you had six and ten. I had three and thirteen.
Speaker 1: So that was that was where we were sitting that
Speaker 1: on the readjust. So right now, we're right right now,
Speaker 1: we're all we're all in our target distance. Can't all
Speaker 1: in our target lists of what we said? If I
Speaker 1: could hear it in your voice, dude, y'all can hear
Speaker 1: You're like, Man, I don't know, Man, it ain't looking
Speaker 1: too good for my predictions. It ain't looking too good
Speaker 1: for the Backs predictions. But it's okay, man, because y'all
Speaker 1: my brother's so I'm always look out for y'all. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm always look out y'all. Welcome at the table. I
Speaker 1: can't already hear it in your voice, y'all, y'all, you're
Speaker 1: just like, man, this is what happened when you have
Speaker 1: a good week, When you have a good week, this
Speaker 1: is what happened. I'm telling you, trash all, you've been
Speaker 1: trash and picking all season, and then you have a
Speaker 1: good week. You've been two games, you've been two games
Speaker 1: in the road this season. That maybe what have happened.
Speaker 1: And this is and this is the reaction that we get.
Speaker 1: What am I saying from the beginning? Man, I said,
Speaker 1: as long as I get that one right, y'all can't
Speaker 1: tell me nothing. And it's changing that way beginning, it's
Speaker 1: that way. Is it transing that way? That's all I
Speaker 1: want to know. Is it going that way or not?
Speaker 1: It is the opposite way going the way. I don't know. No,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, let's nip this in the bush. Let's
Speaker 1: this in the button. So I knew it. Don't ask
Speaker 1: Church to pick any more games because he's teams telling
Speaker 1: us that it's irrelevant. It don't matter if he get
Speaker 1: any other games right. It only matter if he gets
Speaker 1: the Cowboys right. So he gonna at the end of
Speaker 1: the season, he's gonna say none of them even count,
Speaker 1: none of them count. Only he only he only got
Speaker 1: the Cowboy. We already here for the Cowboys. Are we
Speaker 1: here to discuss the NFL? We here, We're here to
Speaker 1: discuss We're here to discuss football. We are former football players.
Speaker 1: Knew he reports on football more than just the cap.
Speaker 1: Were talking about all teams, all right, So I love
Speaker 1: gold post sport y'all got the movable goal post man.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's it's crazy right now that we
Speaker 1: went from the playoffs to Oh, you were right about
Speaker 1: the Cowboys making the playoffs, but you were wrong about
Speaker 1: all the old I'm telling you that the gold Posts
Speaker 1: picking the booffs. No, I'm saying that's what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: at the end. Oh yeah you are, but you missed
Speaker 1: out on all these other man. I don't like talking
Speaker 1: about that. So so now you're telling us what we
Speaker 1: might say in the future if they just so happen
Speaker 1: to make the playoff. Come on, bro, focus on this week,
Speaker 1: all right, they stay here, stay here on Washington this week,
Speaker 1: Stay here on this week. I just know you just know,
Speaker 1: I'll have that. I'll have that glass for your d mac.
Speaker 1: I'll have to wait for you. You want ice cube?
Speaker 1: I told you, Danny, this is how these guys from
Speaker 1: the mac card. They beat off a big ten team.
Speaker 1: You know, they go out beating. That's all we're gonna
Speaker 1: do is Toledo. Toledo celebrating, O celebrate for weeks on end. Man,
Speaker 1: It's okay, It's okay, y'all get it. Y'all can try
Speaker 1: to do from what we're talking about. Y'all can bring
Speaker 1: up Toledo. You can bring up the Matya can try
Speaker 1: to distract the folks. But we all know you talk
Speaker 1: about the hig vodcasts beat Rutgers and it's a party.
Speaker 1: When it's that kind of don't I get it. Don't
Speaker 1: make no sense. We talk about this white he got one,
Speaker 1: he got this game, rights of the Cowboys winning. He
Speaker 1: like he've been getting it right all season. We got
Speaker 1: three wins. I don't know, I don't know what he
Speaker 1: think it's going on here like he's just been on
Speaker 1: all the years. You got you got your one, man,
Speaker 1: you got your one, you got your congratulations. Now listen,
Speaker 1: he congratulations again, Church, congratulations. I appreciate that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: I appreciate now. Now now, now look, Church is on
Speaker 1: a two game winning streak here, Okay, this is correct.
Speaker 1: He did correct. He did get the Steelers twenty four,
Speaker 1: twenty four fourteen. He picked the Steelers, so he and
Speaker 1: then he picked the Box. So's he's in two game wins.
Speaker 1: I got the Vikings, I got Tampa Bayers. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's okay. I'm not here to rauntle off. You know
Speaker 1: the stats and all that. I'm not here to do that.
Speaker 1: I'm here to do one thing. And who's gonna win
Speaker 1: the NFC East and that and I'm telling and wait
Speaker 1: a minute, oh no, no, he picked the Church is
Speaker 1: on a three game win streak. His church picked. He
Speaker 1: picked Philly twenty four seventeen Churches one three in a row. No, listen, listen,
Speaker 1: I know he has, he has, he has, but two
Speaker 1: of those have been against the Cowboys, the team that
Speaker 1: he's over here talking about. It's gonna ride in the
Speaker 1: wave and win. Listen, let me tell you something. Look,
Speaker 1: anybody in their right mind could have picked Pittsburgh to
Speaker 1: beat US, uh two weeks ago, all right, so it
Speaker 1: was hold on, Now we acted hold on. I didn't
Speaker 1: break that down specifically and say, hey, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a tighter game than most people think. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: about twenty four seventeen and exactly that's exactly what it was.
Speaker 1: So let's not to say I picked Pitsburad they're gonna
Speaker 1: blow them up. I told you exactly what was gonna
Speaker 1: happen to Church, and it happened. What else? What else?
Speaker 1: Use this? I'm gonna use this. I'm gonna use this
Speaker 1: against you because you said the spread don't matter, So
Speaker 1: that's irrelevant to you, just like the rest of the game.
Speaker 1: So throw that out. He didn't say that you only
Speaker 1: pick wins and losses, So we don't want to talk
