Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This is the Players Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: World headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts, Barry Church,
Speaker 1: Danny McCrae, Heckma Harrison, and new He.
Speaker 2: Scruggs Players Lounge in the house. Yep, yep, it is
Speaker 2: the players.
Speaker 3: Danny McCrae, Barry Churchma Harrison's here, I'm new he Scrugs.
Speaker 3: Cowboys looking to go two and zero for the first
Speaker 3: time and the Mike McCarthy era.
Speaker 4: Does that surprise you at all?
Speaker 3: He's never won a first It was a regular game
Speaker 3: in the regular season. He finally did that as they
Speaker 3: dismantled the New York Giants. Now here come the New
Speaker 3: York Jets into town and a chance for McCarthy to
Speaker 3: be a That is two and oh m hm.
Speaker 2: Starting off, fans, that's what you love to see, what
Speaker 2: you love.
Speaker 5: Get y'all had y'all kool aid too early. They got
Speaker 5: a new recipe to it.
Speaker 2: Now, you know what I'm saying. We had twenty We
Speaker 2: had the kool Aid less red forty in there. You
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, none of none of that stuff
Speaker 2: that can make you sick. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: It's a good kool Aid. That's the right amount of sugar.
Speaker 5: The light they still scarred. They had they had half
Speaker 5: a couple of sugar and they put two package. It
Speaker 5: tastes like water, not the water, and you had sugar.
Speaker 5: But that's why, that's why this kool aid over here
Speaker 5: is right.
Speaker 2: You said you see your house party.
Speaker 5: I believe in Big Mike, and I believe that dan
Speaker 5: Quinn and this game is gonna be just that. Okay,
Speaker 5: dan Quinn versus Solid and Solid versus Mike McCarthy. Okay,
Speaker 5: it's a lot on Solad's play, and I don't think
Speaker 5: he's gonna be able to.
Speaker 2: Get too much on his plate.
Speaker 4: Forget about it.
Speaker 5: There's too much on this plate. I didn't forget about nobody.
Speaker 5: The last time I saw him, the thing you had
Speaker 5: it uh out there had my homeboy, my homeboy. He
Speaker 5: was out there with the thing you hack it last
Speaker 5: one season. Now you're out here with this new revamped
Speaker 5: offensive line.
Speaker 2: He must be doing something right, must be must be
Speaker 2: doing racket that his offense only might work for one guy, right,
Speaker 2: It ain't the boat. I think it's not the boat.
Speaker 2: We'll see what. We'll see what Wilson got, man. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a massacre. Man.
Speaker 6: But this will be a test for this offense though,
Speaker 6: This Dallas Cowboys offense will be a test because that
Speaker 6: defense out there get some dogs. Man, on each level,
Speaker 6: each level of defense, they got some dogs. This will
Speaker 6: be a real test.
Speaker 2: The running. They're gonna tested with the run again to
Speaker 2: already both of them back strap, yeah one of them
Speaker 2: right there. Yeah, but that Negro no one of them.
Speaker 5: Cowboy the linebacker got twelve thirteen times. That is that
Speaker 5: type of game. The thing that worries me, not worries me.
Speaker 5: But you know, both teams have great defenses, and Robert
Speaker 5: south Salah has a lot of that vic vangel to him.
Speaker 5: You know, here's a lot of Dan Quinn to him too,
Speaker 5: just based off of personnel and the way he mixes
Speaker 5: up his coverages. I think that's gonna be the interesting
Speaker 5: thing about this, about this matchup. I'm gonna go back
Speaker 5: to a group that had a bad game last week,
Speaker 5: and that's the tight end room. The tight end room
Speaker 5: has got to come up big in this game. They
Speaker 5: got to be able to dominate the middle of the field,
Speaker 5: and I think that'll open up everything else. But I
Speaker 5: think Mike is gonna stick to his guns.
Speaker 2: The running game. You have to, you know, you have to.
Speaker 2: And if Tony.
Speaker 5: Poler comes out of this fourteen fifteen carries, maybe twenty
Speaker 5: get up to twenty this week, and ric o'daldo can
Speaker 5: get splash plays in there as well, that's gonna continue
Speaker 5: to continue drives. But y'all know, the real matchup y'all
Speaker 5: want to see it is that one CD and Sauce.
Speaker 5: That's gonna be it man CD in Sauce because at
Speaker 5: what point does CD exactly have that I am a
Speaker 5: number one whirace even moment like in the NFL, like
Speaker 5: complete domination, because we know when you get to the playoffs,
Speaker 5: you're gonna have to go up against a guy Sauces caliber.
Speaker 5: And we saw what he did last I mean last
Speaker 5: year when I think about CD, he did have Cooper
Speaker 5: rush was the first time and just the Eagles matchup
Speaker 5: is what I'm talking about. The Eagles didn't respect it.
Speaker 5: You know, it wasn't no safety over the top that
Speaker 5: it was straight man and so in situations like that
Speaker 5: where you know Robert Solad's gonna mix it in the
Speaker 5: same thing. Can CD have, you know, getting advantage in
Speaker 5: his matchup against.
Speaker 2: Us, Well, let me tell you something. I've seen that.
Speaker 5: They said Sauce that they don't flip sides, oh left,
Speaker 5: So he gonna get some Cooks and he's gonna get
Speaker 5: some d And you know, my feeling on Cooks is
Speaker 5: it's gonna be a battle. It's gonna make CD a
Speaker 5: lot better, but I think it's gonna push both of
Speaker 5: their numbers up. I think that Cooks is gonna see
Speaker 5: CD doing some stuff, and Cooks has always been the man, okay,
Speaker 5: And CD has been the.
Speaker 2: Man since he's been here.
Speaker 5: He stepped into his own last year where he had
Speaker 5: one of his best seasons, and now he got Cooks
Speaker 5: coming in. He's not trying to get that up. So
Speaker 5: I think you're gonna see a lot all the competitive
Speaker 5: stuff going on. But that Jet secondary had a hell
Speaker 5: of a game, okay. So it ain't just it ain't
Speaker 5: just something just they went crazy Shall and helped them.
Speaker 5: They made the plays now, for sure. They made the plays.
Speaker 6: Now because even when you know sauce and dizzy thing,
Speaker 6: but read and did they think too, They was going
Speaker 6: back and forth.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like you know, it was like Red was
Speaker 2: just getting ate up over there too. You know it's
Speaker 2: gonna be, Man, gonna.
Speaker 5: Be one second because you want to I want to
Speaker 5: ask you a question about the tight end room. Okay,
Speaker 5: do you still feel the same that Ferguson You said
Speaker 5: Ferguson was gonna be starting this.
Speaker 2: Yes, you still feel the same. You don't think School
Speaker 2: is gonna.
Speaker 5: Get up in there because they drafted him in the
Speaker 5: second round and I'm drafting a guy in the second
Speaker 5: round and I see what happened out there in the
Speaker 5: previous game with the drops. I don't know about the
Speaker 5: block and assignments and how I went out there, but
Speaker 5: I know the stuff that was spotlighted to where you
Speaker 5: say those should have been big plays. It was in
Speaker 5: the tight end room. And it wasn't School now. It
Speaker 5: was the two young guys you're trying to see if
Speaker 5: they're tady to play. So the answer that question is yes,
Speaker 5: I believe to believe in him. And it wasn't like
Speaker 5: he just dropped the ball. They dropped balls and those things.
Speaker 5: I just feel like they can correct that because if
Speaker 5: you make those catches, those two catches that they missed.
Speaker 5: I think it makes a difference in the yards for
Speaker 5: dak Is QPR and everything else. I mean, especially him
Speaker 5: the shot because that's right in the brand basket.
Speaker 2: Tell that over there.
Speaker 5: He gets Schooling. Now put the dimonds the ball. Gonna
Speaker 5: do that anyway. You know, I saw school yesterday. I
Speaker 5: was doing the camp and I said, that's a big dude. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's that's yeah, Michigan tighty. He ready to play.
Speaker 2: You ready to play? Put him in coach. Nine and
Speaker 2: a half point favorite right now is going on up.
Speaker 3: The line is shooting up from four and a half
Speaker 3: before Aaron Rodgers got hurt to seven and a half
Speaker 3: hearing about the injury.
Speaker 4: Now it is nine. And that's a lot of points, guys,
Speaker 4: that's a lot.
Speaker 3: That's that right now, just looking here year at the
Speaker 3: That is the largest spread in the National Football League
Speaker 3: right now that I'm looking at here. Actually, No, Buffalo
Speaker 3: is a nine and a half point favorite at home
Speaker 3: against the Raiders.
Speaker 2: That's bad the Rams. I can't bet. But if I
Speaker 2: could make you say that, I could. No. But that spread.
Speaker 5: You know, how when you when the lottery get to
Speaker 5: like a billion dollars and then everybody start going to
Speaker 5: get their ticket and going up. That's the spread right
Speaker 5: now for them before we get to the game, it's
Speaker 5: gonna be sixteen.
Speaker 3: That is that's wild because this is still a team
Speaker 3: that has a defense.
Speaker 4: And I'm no offensive court.
Speaker 3: It was really clear, you gonna run the ball, Zach
Speaker 3: Wilson is here's not a guy you're gonna trust.
Speaker 4: Run the ball.
Speaker 3: Shorten the game, get your defense out there to play,
Speaker 3: taking the fourth quarter and go where you go.
Speaker 4: Nine and a half is a lot of points.
Speaker 2: That's almost double digits. International Football League in NFL. You
Speaker 2: don't you don't hear that. You don't hear that.
Speaker 5: To make sure people don't pick the cawnt because I
Speaker 5: promise you come Friday, you're not gonna hear me talking
Speaker 5: about nothing. Shout out to them.
Speaker 6: Though, even how good their defense is just defense, which
Speaker 6: is it's outstanding.
Speaker 2: You know, how long can you be on that football field?
Speaker 6: You know, because if Wilson's going three and out, three
Speaker 6: and out, three and out, officially, that defense is gonna
Speaker 6: wear down. I mean, we've seen it with the best
Speaker 6: of them, So I just I just can't see away
Speaker 6: unless Wilson just turned into some Broadway Joe or something
Speaker 6: crazy like that.
Speaker 2: It's it's gonna be a done.
Speaker 5: I like to I like to take y'all back to
Speaker 5: a few games and quarterbacks where we were like, we
Speaker 5: should man handle these guys, the Texans.
Speaker 2: The Texans, I mean even a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold came in here looking like Michael.
Speaker 5: Vicky Like we we've been known to get in there
Speaker 5: and say, all right, these are teams that we should
Speaker 5: go out there and be And I know this this
Speaker 5: year is different, but because we did it, you know,
Speaker 5: we won for the zero, but this this week by week, okay,
Speaker 5: last week, I mean last year they went out there
Speaker 5: and beat the heck out of Minnesota and we thought,
Speaker 5: we thought it was home to the Super Bowl, baby,
Speaker 5: and you know it didn't happen. How many more games
Speaker 5: with this defense do you have to be confident in
Speaker 5: what they're doing to say, all right, hey, we're going
Speaker 5: up against this offense like the Jets. Yeah, the schedule,
Speaker 5: the schedule is gonna determine that. And yet San fran Philly,
Speaker 5: the New York Giants is not gonna be one the
Speaker 5: New York Jets without Aaron Aaron Rodgers is not gonna
Speaker 5: be one Patriots. Patriots like those are not ones where
Speaker 5: you say, all right, yeah they for real. You get
Speaker 5: out there, you you man handle a sand Fran running game.
Speaker 5: You stifle this running game. Then we know you can
Speaker 5: run the ball. We already know you can cover. That's
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. You know what, ain't no weakness out there,
Speaker 5: no weakness. And then you know, like new Y alwaysays,
Speaker 5: gotta stay healthy.
Speaker 2: That's the biggest point. That's the biggest one right there.
Speaker 2: You don't stay healthy. It's changing the season.
Speaker 3: Speaking of healthy off intive line, Tyler Smith missed the game.
Speaker 3: We'll know later on today. Mike mccart's got prescottson three thirty.
Speaker 3: Where is Tyler Smith? This is a good defense here.
Speaker 3: How do you handle that kind of situation without us
Speaker 3: not you know, we don't know yet what the head
Speaker 3: coach is telling us about the health of.
Speaker 4: The player and left.
Speaker 6: God, man, it's gonna you know, it's a completely different
Speaker 6: tone from from last.
Speaker 2: Week from me, because I was we need everybody on
Speaker 2: hands all day. Man.
Speaker 6: Them boys impressed me, you know, because because they went
Speaker 6: against the Giants defense and you know, they mandled them.
Speaker 6: You know, they held no pressures at all. This is
Speaker 6: a guy all last year had at least one quarterback pressure,
Speaker 6: you know. Man, Tyron Smith skunked them out. And then
Speaker 6: you talk about the inside guys. I was big on
Speaker 6: Williams and desk Lawis. I was huge on them. Those
Speaker 6: are the new Bama boys. Oh man, they handled their
Speaker 6: business out there. So I just don't see.
Speaker 2: I don't see.
Speaker 6: You know, I don't think the risk ill weighs the
Speaker 6: reward on this one. You know, to bring him back,
Speaker 6: let's just say he's you know, eighty percent. Why not
Speaker 6: let him wrest another week?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 6: Or like we always talk about, seventeen weeks is a
Speaker 6: long time. Why not wrestle a little bit. I understand,
Speaker 6: you know, we got the just defense and all that,
Speaker 6: but the just offense ain't. They ain't moving the ball.
Speaker 6: They're not moving the ball. So it fit's up to
Speaker 6: me depending on where he's at, I say, wrestling.
Speaker 5: Look, when I go back to the tape from last Sunday,
Speaker 5: Trueman Doga showed me that he could play the guard
Speaker 5: position and play it well. I think we should have
Speaker 5: been panicking last week when we saw that the Doga
Speaker 5: was going to be in because that was his first
Speaker 5: time ever playing guard in the NFL. He's long time,
Speaker 5: like thirteen starts as a tackle in the league. So
Speaker 5: you know, look, I think position flexibility has been a
Speaker 5: word we've been using a lot. And I think you
Speaker 5: know Dan for not Quinn, the front office, Will McLay,
Speaker 5: all of those guys have made sure that they bring
Speaker 5: in guys that are multiple And I think for Tyler Smith,
Speaker 5: his ability to not only play guard but also play
Speaker 5: tackle because we got the time clock on right now
Speaker 5: for certain things, right, I wasn't even gonna matter that, Okay.
Speaker 5: So with with Toylas Smith, that's a big hamstring. That's
Speaker 5: a big that's a big hamstring, and you don't want
Speaker 5: to that's a big hamstring, and I don't want nothing,
Speaker 5: especially the way we saw Tyron you know, pulling out
Speaker 5: and that's the way that they used tiln So if
Speaker 5: we could, if we could, we could save that hamstring.
Speaker 5: That's a big hamstring. Now y'all know it too. That's
Speaker 5: a big man. Pross myself.
Speaker 3: And then we come back should the Cowboys, speaking of
Speaker 3: the offensive.
Speaker 2: Line, that's crazy bring back.
Speaker 3: And man they once thought would be a long term
Speaker 3: solution that the old line will do that. Next with
Speaker 3: Harry Church Harrison Danny mc crab InTru Lounge brought to
Speaker 3: your Dallas Cowboys Doctors Out.

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I know who you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, heck Maherrison for the Red Players Lounge brought
Speaker 3: to you by Tostitos. Here you got Gary Church check
Speaker 3: mayor Danny McCray, I knew he scrugs the.
Speaker 2: Uh cold world.
Speaker 3: The Jets with a nice rushing performance last week against
Speaker 3: the Bills, one hundred and seventy two yards on the ground,
Speaker 3: most in the lead, but they are going. And then
Speaker 3: by the way, though, it's interesting in that game, Monday
Speaker 3: night game, the Bills held the ball for thirty three
Speaker 3: minutes versus twenty seven fifty for the Jets.
Speaker 4: So if you are if.
Speaker 3: You're Mike McCarthy, you want to run the ball, let
Speaker 3: your get a lead and let your defense see.
Speaker 5: But this is why the numbers, This is a little
Speaker 5: side the numbers sometimes. This is why you gotta watch
Speaker 5: the game and understand situational football and understand, like what
Speaker 5: actually happened in the game, and how many yards one?
Speaker 2: How long was that long run by Breese? How about eighty?
Speaker 5: So what happens is what happens is and this is
Speaker 5: this is not to go against yours as somebody says, Man,
Speaker 5: they ran the ball, will they had all those yards,
Speaker 5: they must have controlled the clock. I mean eighty of
Speaker 5: it was one run.
Speaker 2: But that happened across the league.
Speaker 5: Though I think McCaffrey had a seventy something yard running club.
Speaker 2: You look at it and say, man, they ran the ball.
Speaker 5: Will I don't consider breaking an eighty yard running then
Speaker 5: for the rest of the game, getting seventy and ended
Speaker 5: up with one fifty. You having a great Russian day
Speaker 5: as far as being able to like that being your
Speaker 5: game plan, control on the clock, making sure you're picking
Speaker 5: up first downs, giving your quarterback short thirty shorts versus
Speaker 5: he got eighty.
Speaker 2: On that one.
Speaker 5: What do you do for the rest of the game,
Speaker 5: because his average is gonna be crazy. Bresaw average was
Speaker 5: like twelve or thirteen, but he didn't.
Speaker 2: He didn't warn.
Speaker 5: Thirteen yards to carry, so yo a little different, little different,
Speaker 5: and that's why you see, like the time of possession
Speaker 5: is different. You're like, well they ran the ball. Well
Speaker 5: on those guys, they did, but not that not that good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, third down Tweld team struggled in that game. Buffalo
Speaker 3: five thirteen, Jets five or thirteen as well. Cowboys with
Speaker 3: the season opener at Jerry World here, what is it
Speaker 3: in season opener you come in with one victory in the.
Speaker 5: Back it was it means that you're rolling right because
Speaker 5: we haven't been as a play.
Speaker 2: Well, what I'm saying we haven't been able.
Speaker 5: If I'm on this team, you know, three four years
Speaker 5: at this point, we hadn't been able to get that
Speaker 5: first win, all right, So one knocking that out right,
Speaker 5: we're not cursed. We got a way that we figured
Speaker 5: it out. This is gonna be a whole new year
Speaker 5: for us. So you go into it with a little
Speaker 5: bit of momentum, especially beating the team for to the zero.
Speaker 5: All right, being the team for to zero. Now you
Speaker 5: say you're preparing for the week. Your coach is telling you, hey, man,
Speaker 5: A Rod's coming. This is gonna be a big game.
Speaker 5: Make sure you buckle up and get ready. Now A
Speaker 5: Rod's not playing. Now they hungry for real because now
Speaker 5: guys are like, man, I'm finna go ahead and get
Speaker 5: these stats. So this is another opportunity for you to
Speaker 5: step up and say the momentum, keep it rolling. This
Speaker 5: is how our season hopefully is going to continue for
Speaker 5: the rest of the year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it also verifiest a few things.
Speaker 6: You know, when you get that first victory, you know
Speaker 6: very fast all the off season what you did in
Speaker 6: ot ys, you know, putting all that work in coach
Speaker 6: saying hey, you know, we gotta take us one at
Speaker 6: a time, but we got some pieces, we can do
Speaker 6: some things out there. Then you go on in the
Speaker 6: training camp going against each other, battling, you tired of
Speaker 6: hitting the same person each and every time. And then
Speaker 6: you go out there. Your coach said, if we execute
Speaker 6: this game plan, we should dominate, And if you go
Speaker 6: out there and do that, you dominate that team. It
Speaker 6: just verifies all the work you put in throughout the
Speaker 6: entire offseason, and it also kind of makes you believe
Speaker 6: more in your coach and what he had going on,
Speaker 6: like this guy's gonna put us in the in the
Speaker 6: right you know, direction, in the right place to make
Speaker 6: positive plays out there. So it just verifies a few things.
Speaker 6: And then you just gotta keep rolling. You gotta taking
Speaker 6: one game of time. I know it's a cliche, but
Speaker 6: it's real. We just seen three and zero starts here
Speaker 6: and then down and down the stretch. It didn't look
Speaker 6: that well. So they gotta keep plugging along. But they
Speaker 6: got a heck of a team rolling right now.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, this is a you gotta feel good
Speaker 5: about it, but do you ask yourself?
Speaker 2: Is forty to zero.
Speaker 5: And we completely dominated these guys in all three phases,
Speaker 5: of the game.
Speaker 2: Did we get a real look? You know?
Speaker 5: Is that some part of it? Like look was Daniel
Speaker 5: Jones the we all of those things considering you have
Speaker 5: to come out and I think it goes back to
Speaker 5: what we were.
Speaker 2: Saying, most improved but me week one week man.
Speaker 5: But it goes back to I think a question that
Speaker 5: we had yesterday about are you over confident? Are you
Speaker 5: over confident because you beat them for the to zero
Speaker 5: then you bring in a jetsam And that's why I
Speaker 5: asked question, well, what when do you get to the
Speaker 5: point where you feel like a right man?
Speaker 2: It is what it is.
Speaker 5: You know, this defense is dominating, and I think that's
Speaker 5: where you start to hang your hat when you talk
Speaker 5: about the Jets and their running game and what they're
Speaker 5: going to bring in the AT and T Stadium. I
Speaker 5: just feel like, and just for you guys as safeties,
Speaker 5: if y'all looked at the All twenty two, Malik Hooker
Speaker 5: did some things in that game that I think really
Speaker 5: makes you confident in the defense. I mean being that
Speaker 5: that fel safe the last line of different defense and
Speaker 5: with all of the different fronts that Dan Quinn likes
Speaker 5: to play, you have to have a solid safety and
Speaker 5: number twenty eight plays he played solid and so man
Speaker 5: if one and oh is good. This this is where
Speaker 5: you have to answer that question that you brought it
Speaker 5: up again. Okay, so we got forty nine ers. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you're performing that. That's when you're like, okay, you start rolling,
Speaker 5: all right. Then you got your guys coming, Well we're
Speaker 5: going we're going after that to the Chargers. All right,
Speaker 5: you find a way, you find a way to put
Speaker 5: up a great performance like that. Well after that, after that,
Speaker 5: you got the Eagles, right, so you you're going into
Speaker 5: four game stretch because after that you know you're back
Speaker 5: to the Giants. So you go, you got a one two, Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's four for you said, all right, you come out
Speaker 5: of that date specifically is Danny Dims after that, so
Speaker 5: November the twelfth, November twelve, So after November the fifth,
Speaker 5: when we play at the Eagles, you should have a
Speaker 5: good idea of what this team is, especially if hey,
Speaker 5: is this defense as great as we think it is?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Leel Collins cut by the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 2: Go around the table.
Speaker 6: There's some people that won in back back what bare
Speaker 6: that's the town boys here back here, So I go
Speaker 6: around the table, start on that side of the booth.
Speaker 2: That's your man, that's your brethren. Name what brot? Let
Speaker 2: me tell you something, Let me tell you something. And wait,
Speaker 2: I don't even think you were here?
Speaker 5: Then what what one thing y'all not gonna say about
Speaker 5: me is just because you with the l s U,
Speaker 5: you get a pass on everything?
Speaker 2: Okay? Because what did I say?
Speaker 5: What did I say when they gave Lao his spot
Speaker 5: back when Terror Steel.
Speaker 2: Every week?
Speaker 5: I came on here and said, you, y'all, I'm telling
Speaker 5: you gonna pay for that. What happened the next year,
Speaker 5: got him on, got him on up out of here.
Speaker 5: He gets another squad, same thing he Didne got released.
Speaker 5: All right, we don't want to back here. Shout out
Speaker 5: to him. He made his money, he played, he had
Speaker 5: a career in the lease. Somebody's gonna pick him up.
Speaker 5: We got Terror Steel, we just paid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 5: After we're gonna figure it out after this year, moving forward, right,
Speaker 5: we don't need lo this year. But we got some
Speaker 5: young talent there. We got some young tailor. Had we
Speaker 5: had a young left guard that played this game. You say,
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know the future may be
Speaker 5: looking bright. You could bump Todler back out the left
Speaker 5: tackle in the future and you might have you a
Speaker 5: left guard there. So nah, no, no, no, no, no
Speaker 5: for you, that's that's an absolute no no Tigers. That's cold.
Speaker 5: That's cold.
Speaker 2: That's co work. I mean, but that's your truth. I mean,
Speaker 2: and I appreciate that. Man.
Speaker 5: I'm I think it's a hand scratcher man when I
Speaker 5: think about Layel because he was such a steal to
Speaker 5: the Cowboys when he got the guy with the first
Speaker 5: round grade came in.
Speaker 2: He bawled out his rookie season.
Speaker 5: I mean, you saw like everybody was talking Larry Allen
Speaker 5: as kind of you know, the way that he was blocking,
Speaker 5: and then it just seemed like the roller coaster started.
Speaker 5: I was confused when they started the whole Terran Steel
Speaker 5: Layo Collins thing because I didn't believe in I didn't
Speaker 5: know tern still, you know, and undrafted.
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't.
Speaker 5: I didn't see the makeup, but obviously they saw something
Speaker 5: in Terrence Steel that made them move away from Lael Collins,
Speaker 5: which was difficult for me as a man watching it
Speaker 5: because I thought that Layol Collins was a better offensive lineman.
Speaker 5: Nah terror still took that position on that position, and
Speaker 5: now you see him with another contract and we're talking
Speaker 5: about him getting his money before his time and they
Speaker 5: need to be taking care of but anyway, but anyway,
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, if he's out there, if his mind
Speaker 5: is changed, I don't know what's up with him mentally.
Speaker 2: But don't act like we don't need help on the
Speaker 2: offense line.
Speaker 5: All right, Josh, we see Josh Ball is is once
Speaker 5: his chume Dogga it was it's we don't have a lot?
Speaker 2: What are you saying? You know, he asked you a
Speaker 2: question I would love I would like to hear you answer. Dude.
Speaker 2: What was the question? Do you bring him back? That is?
Speaker 5: I need to know an answered because right now you
Speaker 5: was here there every year you was where were at
Speaker 5: back about yes or no? Dog as a as a body, Yes,
Speaker 5: as a body. Yes, I need bodies. Okay, I need bodies.
Speaker 5: I got Josh Ball.
Speaker 6: I'm I'm as side with you know Big Nate Newton
Speaker 6: on this way.
Speaker 2: He just texted me.
Speaker 6: He must be listening to the show and they say, no, no,
Speaker 6: what's going on?
Speaker 5: Got that that we can develop? But we see in
Speaker 5: the Guard that we see that it's gonna be a big,
Speaker 5: big week. I admit I thought he was going, you know,
Speaker 5: hey boy, he's gonna go through him like a hot
Speaker 5: night through butter.
Speaker 2: But they didn't. They didn't. They he was able to
Speaker 2: hold up. So hey, I say we go with.
Speaker 6: A week the week, this, a week the week, thing,
Speaker 6: this week, one week at a time.
Speaker 2: So he said he won't back. No, no, no no.
Speaker 4: The Bingos cut him.
Speaker 3: This is as as this is a we know from
Speaker 3: our borough watching. This is an outfit that has a
Speaker 3: problem at the offensive line position. And you saw Xavier
Speaker 3: see a Filo, who is a non starter here leave
Speaker 3: the Cowboys became a starter up there and they cut him.
Speaker 5: But let's not act like that. Bengals have been so
Speaker 5: smart about offensive lineman. They paid him all that money
Speaker 5: and he's the most sacked quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 2: So it's not like.
Speaker 5: They've been making great decisions at the offensive line for
Speaker 5: the last three years either. So you want us to
Speaker 5: make a bad decision because they made want That's not
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. That's not and I'm not saying bring
Speaker 5: him back here to start. That's not That is not
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. I am not bringing bring him back
Speaker 5: here as a starter. I'm saying bring him back here
Speaker 5: as your seventh offensive lineman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel is he? Is he healthy? That's that
Speaker 2: is the whole year he was some pep to start
Speaker 2: the season. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, an A had an a c L injury, came
Speaker 5: with a c L in December with the issue. Then
Speaker 5: before he left here, him and Tyron was with Chilling
Speaker 5: on the sideline at the same time, wasn't it. Uh
Speaker 5: he didn't get to play that year. He had to
Speaker 5: the whole year and he went up there hurt too. Listen,
Speaker 5: I get tiring the hard time. But I know when
Speaker 5: Tying is healthy, okay, and he's trying to be healthy,
Speaker 5: real deal, Okay.
Speaker 3: With a team like the Bengals cut you and they
Speaker 3: have offensive line issues, it says something. That's says something.

Speaker 4: Thank you, Heck Maharrison.
Speaker 3: This is the Player's Lounge, brought to you by Tostitos.
Speaker 4: We have Danny.
Speaker 3: McCrae, Heck Maharrison, Barry Church, I'm new he Scruggs, Joe
Speaker 3: Sina Anderson that are an NFL reporter tweeted out, I
Speaker 3: do think Cooper Rush should get consideration in a trade
Speaker 3: scenario since the Cowboys have Trey Lance. The reason I
Speaker 3: put Gardner Minshew previously is because of the other intangible
Speaker 3: considerations I have, though, I think the oh to one
Speaker 3: Colt should sniff at this if their record goes down.
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones already on the record yesterday I want to
Speaker 3: five through the fander his radio show, saying that he's
Speaker 3: not going to get rid of Cooper Rush because they
Speaker 3: may need him, and Doc has miss games in the past.
Speaker 4: So when you see this type of tweet, and I
Speaker 4: always say it's from national folks.
Speaker 3: Who don't ever really spin a deep dive around the
Speaker 3: team throwing stuff out there, would you.
Speaker 4: Trade Cooper Rush Hack Mahyrish.
Speaker 2: Heck no, no, no, no.
Speaker 5: We saw how valuable Cooper was for those five games,
Speaker 5: you know, and we got it. We gave him an
Speaker 5: opportunity to get out there and test the market, and
Speaker 5: nobody signed him in these backs. So no, don't start
Speaker 5: that now. Don't try and poaching from us now now. No,
Speaker 5: we need a quality backup and we have one. So
Speaker 5: I'm confident with that. And I mean, what you trade
Speaker 5: him away for now, Trey Lance to bee yours? I
Speaker 5: don't think see that's that's the narrative they want to
Speaker 5: start right there. Why why would we The dude came
Speaker 5: in and proved it even in preseason he still played
Speaker 5: well and we and we got a conversation about trading him.
Speaker 5: And that's only here because trade Lance is here because
Speaker 5: if Will Green was still the back of the quarterback,
Speaker 5: I don't think you still have that that now that
Speaker 5: option out there. Of course, you trade, uh, you trade
Speaker 5: Cooper Rush, and then what then the narrative of Okay,
Speaker 5: now Trey Lance is pushing Dak Prescott. Just he don't
Speaker 5: play well, then that's a bigger thing. No, you don't
Speaker 5: trade the guy that has been hurt. He has played well,
Speaker 5: Like heck said, he tested the market, he came back
Speaker 5: to Detown. Let him stay here do his thing, because
Speaker 5: one thing we know, Okay, injuries they do happen before.
Speaker 2: They do happen. No, they can't trade Cooper Cooper Rush.
Speaker 2: It ain't no way.
Speaker 6: The man went, you know, four on one last year
Speaker 6: and he looked well, it looked well when he when
Speaker 6: he played out there, and we all understand injuries do
Speaker 6: happen out there. And then, like you said, if we
Speaker 6: do trade them away, then Lance becomes the backup.
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't know what Lance is.
Speaker 6: I mean, this is a guy that couldn't even get
Speaker 6: the backup job in San Francisco. It couldn't beat out
Speaker 6: Sam Donald. We all seen what Sam Donald is on tape.
Speaker 6: You know, I don't who's it going. We all seen
Speaker 6: what he puts out there. So to me, it just
Speaker 6: doesn't make any sense and it warrants unnecessary drama. So hey,
Speaker 6: no way, I mean, there's no way they would trade
Speaker 6: Cooper Rush.
Speaker 2: Look at the Jets, they wish they had them with Cooper.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they thought that Mike White somebody.
Speaker 2: They drafted this.
Speaker 4: Kid number two overall.
Speaker 3: So at some point, remember they had Sam Darnold, who
Speaker 3: they gave up multiple second round draft picks from the
Speaker 3: coast to go get. They say we're done with you.
Speaker 3: They bring in Zach Wilson. Done with you, so I
Speaker 3: got the last one. I'm not trying to beat up
Speaker 3: Josina as much as I talk about the whole national
Speaker 3: media narratives where people want to make these great accusations
Speaker 3: about the Cowboys and her to say that, you know
Speaker 3: they have Trey Lance.
Speaker 4: Trey Lance just got here.
Speaker 3: I keep going back to what Will Greener said, it
Speaker 3: took him a whole year when he got here, the
Speaker 3: same kind of time Trey Lance.
Speaker 4: Did you know right before the.
Speaker 3: To learn this offense that this is not just some
Speaker 3: hey man, what's the five plays?
Speaker 2: It's pretty deep.
Speaker 4: It's pretty deep.
Speaker 3: So to say that you know Trey Lance, go ahead,
Speaker 3: make him the number two ship off Cooper Rush for for.
Speaker 2: What did That's another thing what are you get it?
Speaker 3: And if you get the Jets, are you really trying
Speaker 3: to give up a two or three for Cooper Rush?
Speaker 4: Know exactly where your season can go? I'm not sure
Speaker 4: about that.
Speaker 3: And I also don't know what for Hackett does he
Speaker 3: does he want a Cooper Rush?
Speaker 4: They want?
Speaker 5: That's why. See, that's what I love about you, Dog.
Speaker 5: You're a conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 2: You know you can see it.
Speaker 5: You can see that they're trying to sell the conspiracy
Speaker 5: Trey Cooper Rush because they wanted they want to start
Speaker 5: this theory on what Trey Lance is gonna do. But
Speaker 5: ever since Aaron Rodgers went down the speculation the Monday
Speaker 5: morning with Tuesday Morning, what'd you see Tom Brady shooting jump.
Speaker 2: Athletics?
Speaker 5: I still you're hearing all these rumors about what's my
Speaker 5: man that I can't even think his name right now,
Speaker 5: San Francisco. My man Colin Kaepernick is coming out of
Speaker 5: everybody wants to it's looking at no but don't even
Speaker 5: touch it. But I'm just saying, but just everybody looks
Speaker 5: at Zach Wilson and they saw what his shortcomings were
Speaker 5: last year.
Speaker 2: That's why nobody believes him. The chests didn't believe him.
Speaker 5: How hard was it for Robert Solid to go back
Speaker 5: up though to the microphone and say, we believe in
Speaker 5: Zach Wilson.
Speaker 2: You're lying.
Speaker 5: You just saw everything to get Aaron Rodgers. In no
Speaker 5: way you predicted that he even Zach Wilson didn't have
Speaker 5: any players on playing this year.
Speaker 2: Bro Let me tell you something. Did you see Solomon's face?
Speaker 2: Did he let.
Speaker 5: He was like this, it's hard dropped at the house phone,
Speaker 5: not like this, not like not like I gotta go
Speaker 5: back to my family. I'm just got to crib in Jersey.
Speaker 5: But at trying to fail that. And if you and
Speaker 5: if you as defensive players, you see Aaron out, you like,
Speaker 5: oh no, why no, we can't be cause the defense
Speaker 5: was more excited about Aaron Rodgers than anybody because it's like, look.
Speaker 2: We know what we could do.
Speaker 5: All we need you to do is not turn the
Speaker 5: ball over and make bone head plays.
Speaker 2: Man, they got their man back.
Speaker 6: How he wasn't twenty fifteen when.
Speaker 2: Tone went them, we just man was it was everybody
Speaker 2: just Solid looked just I went from j Cuttler.
Speaker 5: Jake Cuttler was out there hurt too. All that all
Speaker 5: that five was five and fifteen came back here. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 5: because y'all came down there and spanked us, spanked the
Speaker 5: Bears came back here. I said, yeah, we're right, Romo here,
Speaker 5: this is yeah, we all right and showing up Romo
Speaker 5: go down in the Eagles game.
Speaker 2: Oh man, yeah, it just was eating. It was we eating.
Speaker 2: Castle Castle came up in Castling More. Hey, Matt Castle,
Speaker 2: bro here's for USC, Madcastle for USC.
Speaker 4: He was like that Mad Castle.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just telling you. I don't know.
Speaker 5: There's a I don't know, I don't know, I don't know,
Speaker 5: but the experience we had here, so I know when
Speaker 5: you when you say, man, even the special teams was like,
Speaker 5: hey we finish, get a whole bunch of.
Speaker 2: Rips out here, probably kick off return to.
Speaker 7: Out.
Speaker 5: But you ain't got that. You can't put your helm
Speaker 5: and down if you on defense and punt. You like, hey, coach,
Speaker 5: we gotta we gotta re evaluate what I'm doing out
Speaker 5: here because I'm getting too many rips. That's how they
Speaker 5: feel out there, and they can't say it though they
Speaker 5: can't say it, but you know that. But they won
Speaker 5: the game, so right now they're still riding on that. Okay,
Speaker 5: maybe we could make this work.
Speaker 2: Yes, when we came in, we won the games, we
Speaker 2: got a chance. And the next week turned to themself,
Speaker 2: it's gonna take a couple of weeks. That's what takes.
Speaker 5: A couple of weeks, is right? You know they come in,
Speaker 5: he came in. They didn't really plan for him. Now
