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
Speaker 1: Lane broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 1: Now your hosts, Barry Church, Danny McCray, and Newey Scrugs.
Speaker 1: It is a Monday right here are the players, lads
Speaker 1: who appreciate you tun players Louns. Brought to you by
Speaker 1: Hotels dot Com. Newi Scrugs, longtime Cowboys reported joined by
Speaker 1: two former Dallas Cowboys safeties, Barry Church and Danny McCray.
Speaker 1: All three of us predicted a Dallas Cowboys win over
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, and all three of us were wrong
Speaker 1: because the Cleveland Browns came in to North Texas and
Speaker 1: lead it on the Cowboys to thes of almost fifty points.
Speaker 1: Gentlemen o the world. Do you explain this? Uh? Danny,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna see the floor to you, my man.
Speaker 1: You go ahead look check this out. If you see
Speaker 1: my outfit, newly man, I got all black man, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's a funeral going off of the Cowboys right now.
Speaker 1: It's just it's really ugly. And I'll tell you this
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, I will no longer
Speaker 1: be doing my picks based on emotion and how much
Speaker 1: I love the Cowboys since I played for him. I'm
Speaker 1: going with the rational choice. And they might not get
Speaker 1: picked to win another game this season, and you'll and
Speaker 1: you'll be picking him this week. You'll pick them, well,
Speaker 1: not absolutely pick them against and the hapless Giants. That
Speaker 1: the first of all, let's not act like we that
Speaker 1: Cowboys can be like, yeah, we for sure gonna win
Speaker 1: any game, it don't matter who is against. All right,
Speaker 1: that the Giants play played like they played, but we
Speaker 1: don't play much better, so it's not like it's an
Speaker 1: easy pick. So yeah, I'm not sure if I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pick the Cowboys this week against j G, especially since
Speaker 1: I know he has an extra grind and the point
Speaker 1: to prove a Look, if you go on with the Giants,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely betting you on that one because this Giants
Speaker 1: is terrible. But anyway, back to these Cowboys, man, I
Speaker 1: mean this this this was embarrassing. Man, This was embarrassing. Man.
Speaker 1: This was a this was like a manhood game, but
Speaker 1: they just they just got it taken away from him.
Speaker 1: I mean it was as in the words of Marinelli,
Speaker 1: who's probably laughing right now. I mean, it was man
Speaker 1: on man, bone on bone football, and it was just
Speaker 1: embarrassing what they did to our front seven. I mean,
Speaker 1: there was times when the Cleveland Brown's offensive line would
Speaker 1: push these guys so far back the running back wouldn't
Speaker 1: even get touched within the first seven yards of his run.
Speaker 1: And that's just unbelievable. And when you got I mean
Speaker 1: we'll break this down even further, but when you got
Speaker 1: their third running back on the depth chart. I don't
Speaker 1: even know the guy's name. I just called him number thirty.
Speaker 1: He would when that you got the third running back
Speaker 1: on your depth chart going for I think he had
Speaker 1: thirteen carries for ninety five yards, averaging what seven point
Speaker 1: three a rush. I mean, this is crazy. They just
Speaker 1: grabbed this guy off of the street. He was probably
Speaker 1: working at McDonald's. They said, hey, you want to run
Speaker 1: the ball against Dallas next the other this week, Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me see what I can do. And he went
Speaker 1: out there and toted that thing. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: once again another display of terrible tackling out there. I
Speaker 1: mean I called for Darren Thompson to get pulled. He
Speaker 1: got pulled the young the young safety Wilson came in there,
Speaker 1: and he looked just as bad. I mean he was
Speaker 1: out there missing tackles left and right, and I mean,
Speaker 1: I just I can't even get started on his linebacking
Speaker 1: corps Joe Thomas. He did fly around. He was the
Speaker 1: only one that kind of looked like he was worth
Speaker 1: something out there. I mean, it was just embarrassing overall.
Speaker 1: And man, that don't even get me started on a
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars man. I mean, this is go ahead,
Speaker 1: NEWI this is ridiculous. Well, since you mentioned the twenty
Speaker 1: million dollars man, Tank Lawrence. He spoke to the media afterwards,
Speaker 1: and here is Tank summing up the performance as the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys defense gave up three hundred and seven yards
Speaker 1: of rushing to the Cleveland Browns, who had their top
Speaker 1: running back Nick Chubb injured in the first half. Here's
Speaker 1: Tank in my own words, I'll call it Solf. We
Speaker 1: gotta hold ourselves to a higher standard. Um. We got
Speaker 1: to play together as one UM, and I don't feel
Speaker 1: like we're holding ourselves accountable, including myself. So uh, I'll
Speaker 1: call itself and we'll get better from it. In my
Speaker 1: own work, like that yes, yes, we had to cover
Speaker 1: up the cursing. So so, guys, here's here's my thing.
Speaker 1: I feel as though I and hearing the same player
Speaker 1: press conferences that I heard last year. We gotta be
Speaker 1: better risk miscommunications, hold each other accountable, not meeting the standard.
Speaker 1: Am I wrong when I say I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: hearing the same tune? It's different code now all the
Speaker 1: players it's the same old stuff, same old thing, just
Speaker 1: a different thing. If if we get if we get listen,
Speaker 1: we would we would just ex this out. If we
Speaker 1: just start SHO, can we get the play of with
Speaker 1: Odell's last play where the game is on the line.
Speaker 1: Can we just put that on the loop? And I
Speaker 1: want everybody to see how many people loaf and job
Speaker 1: and give up on the play on the most important drive.
Speaker 1: When your office has brought you back into the game.
Speaker 1: You you won't believe it. I know some people have
Speaker 1: broken it down, but they didn't point out every single
Speaker 1: player that did something that looked outrageous and like they
Speaker 1: should not be playing in NFL. It is. It is
Speaker 1: something that you probably will never see again. And this
Speaker 1: type of stuff did not happen when Mary Nelly was here.
Speaker 1: Because he coached effort and you would not get away
Speaker 1: with loafing like this. If there was one thing Marion
Speaker 1: Nelly did, he had his guys playing hard and balls
Speaker 1: to the wall. And that is something that you are
Speaker 1: not seen on the field right now. That's minus scheme,
Speaker 1: that's minus your ability. It takes no talent to hustle
Speaker 1: and give effort, and we ain't doing it. We ain't
Speaker 1: doing it at all. And to this point it comes
Speaker 1: down to I mean it played for the name on
Speaker 1: the back of your jersey. I mean that it played
Speaker 1: for some pride out there. That was embarrassing if I
Speaker 1: was on that. I mean, you go out there and
Speaker 1: not only are you guys missing tackles, but like Danny
Speaker 1: pointed out, you're just loafing expecting someone else to make
Speaker 1: the play. I mean, if we look at number fifty
Speaker 1: four here, jealous Smith, I mean you could see he
Speaker 1: was just jogging expecting all the smith to make the play,
Speaker 1: expecting one of those corners or safeties or other people
Speaker 1: on the field to make the play. And then he realized,
Speaker 1: oh snap, let me change gears and try to catch O'Dell.
Speaker 1: That is the That is the definition if Marion Ellie
Speaker 1: was still here. That is a definition of a loaf,
Speaker 1: and I know Jayla knows that because he was here
Speaker 1: with Marion Ellie. So I mean, it's just you gotta
Speaker 1: play for the back to Jersey, their name on the
Speaker 1: back yards jersey because right now it's looking pitiful. Hello,
Speaker 1: can we get the video play? Because I also like
Speaker 1: we see Jayalen. I want you to see a few
Speaker 1: of the defensive linemen, and then I also want you
Speaker 1: to see our man number twenty seven the entire play.
Speaker 1: This is probably one of his worst snaps of his
Speaker 1: entire football career, going back to youth football CB. Can
Speaker 1: we get this play? By the way, at this point
Speaker 1: in time, the Cowboys have made it a forty one
Speaker 1: thirty eight football game with three minutes and forty two
Speaker 1: seconds to go, So the Cowboys are right where they
Speaker 1: need to be. Yeah, make sure I got my math right. Yes,
Speaker 1: three forty two was after the cd lad touchdown to
Speaker 1: make it forty one thirty eight. So here it is
Speaker 1: now Cleveland really with the pressure on Cleveland at this
Speaker 1: point time. Oh, by the way, they made an interesting
Speaker 1: special team's tick, but I won't get into that. But
Speaker 1: so this is the time for the defense to rise up.
Speaker 1: This is your opportunity to go ahead and make a stop.
Speaker 1: And initially Alton spent this in the right place to
Speaker 1: make this a loss, a significant loss, and Odell Beckham
Speaker 1: eludes him and then goes fifty yards and there there,
Speaker 1: there's the plays. He's running through the tulips and at
Speaker 1: and t s tick, wait wait, wait till they get
Speaker 1: back to the wide. I want you to see ninety.
Speaker 1: I want you to see seventy two. I want you
Speaker 1: to see twenty seven, and the effort is like literally zero,
Speaker 1: it's zero. And then twenty seven and another guy run
Speaker 1: straight out of bounds and they don't plan and retrace
Speaker 1: and trying to go make the tackle and they really
Speaker 1: run out of bounds. Check this out. Look at it.
Speaker 1: Look look at ninety. Look at the rest of the
Speaker 1: d line literally doing nothing. Look at forty eight while
Speaker 1: out about twenty seven out of outs. It makes no sense.
Speaker 1: Twenty eight was definitely a loafing the whole play. That's
Speaker 1: how you ended up back there, not even close to Odell,
Speaker 1: Like it's uninspired. And you come and you come in
Speaker 1: there and you say, hey man, it's miscommunication. You know
Speaker 1: we're not really picking up the defense and we just
Speaker 1: need to they just need to let us play and
Speaker 1: simplified it don't get no more simple than he run
Speaker 1: as fast as you can to try to make the tackle.
Speaker 1: This is this is straight up embarrassing. I'm talking about bad.
Speaker 1: This is at least nine loafs on this play. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so I don't know the After that play, there was
Speaker 1: one word that came to my mind, and that's pride.
Speaker 1: And for me, you know, I'm older than you guys,
Speaker 1: So I go back to watching the Cowboys when Starback
Speaker 1: was playing and Harvey Martin and Randy White, Drew Pierce.
Speaker 1: You know, I go back to these guys before you know,
Speaker 1: the nineties crew came in here, and even those nineties guys,
Speaker 1: the one three championships, there was pride. And anyone who's
Speaker 1: watched Dallas Cowboys football long enough to see some Super
Speaker 1: Bowl championships knows that that play and what was on
Speaker 1: display Sunday was a lack of pride. The kind of
Speaker 1: pride where you are to go in there and take
Speaker 1: some stars off helmets and just next week against the Giants,
Speaker 1: just going out there with some great helmets because nobody's
Speaker 1: earning this star and the kind of effort this team
Speaker 1: is putting out here. It's embarrassing. I mean, it is embarrassing.
Speaker 1: But tell me, how do you get to a point
Speaker 1: to where, like, listen, I can understand, right, if you're
Speaker 1: getting blew out, you're down by twenty one, and then
Speaker 1: that's the play that they run, Right, it's like the
Speaker 1: game's over. You know, everybody really go home and packing in.
Speaker 1: This is a point in the game where if you
Speaker 1: make the stop, you having chairs to come back and
Speaker 1: win the game. So pride, I'm like, I'm like, you
Speaker 1: don't even have to have pride to do that, right,
Speaker 1: because pride when you get your butt beat and you
Speaker 1: still go out there and you play for the name
Speaker 1: on the back of your jersey, you know you still
Speaker 1: go This is at a point of the game where
Speaker 1: the game ain't even over. You just made one of
Speaker 1: the greatest comebacks in NFL history again, and then this
Speaker 1: is the effort that you give on the next snap.
Speaker 1: Look at twenty seven. He just failed. As I watched
Speaker 1: every time I watched this, I'm just I'm more confused.
Speaker 1: I'm more confused the most going on. And it's not
Speaker 1: like Cleveland was just driving the ball like the offense
Speaker 1: for the town's Cowboys had just got off the field.
Speaker 1: Cleveland had just received the kickoff. So it can't be
Speaker 1: like these guys are tired out there, like they got
Speaker 1: a you know, it was an eighty yard drive and
Speaker 1: this is the fifteenth player of the drive. Now this
Speaker 1: is what the second or first player of the drive
Speaker 1: they had going on there, and just to see, like
Speaker 1: you pointed out all those different guys, this effort was
Speaker 1: just not there and knew what you pointed it out.
Speaker 1: It comes back to pride, it comes back to playing
Speaker 1: for that name on the back of your jersey. It's
Speaker 1: just it didn't look good. And I mean it was
Speaker 1: I mean, Danny, you know the special team's reference Joe
Speaker 1: used to always say this, Jodi Camillus. It looked like
Speaker 1: they were ducks in a row. I mean they let
Speaker 1: one move. Oh, they'll made one cut and about five
Speaker 1: players went to out of bounds and to the right side.
Speaker 1: And you just can't have that. You gotta tear it off.
Speaker 1: You gotta have different levels to your defense. And it
Speaker 1: just wasn't there at all. I mean, that was an
Speaker 1: embarrassing display, like you guys said, because this is why
Speaker 1: this is why they're not letting us watch practice because
Speaker 1: they obviously ain't doing no pursuit drill. They're not doing
Speaker 1: no tackling drill. I'm like, I'm absolutely like, how do
Speaker 1: you how do they're not doing none of this stuff? Bro? Like,
Speaker 1: it's not one good angle on this play, and this
Speaker 1: is just an example of what happened the entire game,
Speaker 1: actually the entire first quarter of the season. Like this
Speaker 1: is not just this play, this one just where it
Speaker 1: stood out for where the whole defense is doing this.
Speaker 1: But what are we doing in practice? This is when
Speaker 1: it goes back, goes back to coaching. What are we
Speaker 1: doing let us see tackle? I need to seeing tackles.
Speaker 1: I mean it's just if you name it, that's what
Speaker 1: we did it out there on Sunday. I mean it
Speaker 1: was just play after play it was they just looked
Speaker 1: lost out there. It was just like they just didn't
Speaker 1: know where the good they didn't know where the rush
Speaker 1: angle was. I mean, once again, he was running Scott
Speaker 1: free out there. It's man, it's bad. It's bad news
Speaker 1: right now. These dudes they looked that good in two
Speaker 1: years again, Danny, stay at this point, I mean it
Speaker 1: wasn't but two weeks ago they were I mean this,
Speaker 1: there were speculation stories that it was time you trade
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior because they didn't know how to use him.
Speaker 1: He wasn't any good. It was from me, remember that,
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was supposed to be a
Speaker 1: real bad thing going on right now between Baker and
Speaker 1: Odell and the Browns. It was supposed to be bad.
Speaker 1: And now this dude on TV yucking it up, posing
Speaker 1: for the kids, getting three touchdowns running free Willie all
Speaker 1: through that. I mean, think about that. This is a
Speaker 1: guy that was strugg the league. He just this guy. Man,
Speaker 1: I might have made the Pro Bowl based off what
Speaker 1: he did on TV. Look if you if you if
Speaker 1: your season ain't going the way you wanted to go
Speaker 1: so far, I'm telling right now, if you're struggling as
Speaker 1: a quarterback to get things going in your receiver that
Speaker 1: hasn't really gotten his reception going, hasn't got a group.
Speaker 1: If you're running back, look if you're on a practice
Speaker 1: squad for another team, I'm like, yo, send me to
Speaker 1: the Giants right now. I need to get this working.
Speaker 1: I need to get these checks because Dallas right now,
Speaker 1: it's just a place to go off in. It's just
Speaker 1: a place to state your claim that and you forgot coach,
Speaker 1: you're speaking forgot coach. If you're coaches ain't going right

Speaker 1: Two went to the NFC Championship game. New we Scrugs,
Speaker 1: longtime Cowboys reporter, joined by former Cowboys safety's Buried Church
Speaker 1: and Danny McCray. This is a player's lounge brought to
Speaker 1: you by Hotels dot Com. We are in our SWBC
Speaker 1: Mortgage Virtual Home studios. Let's give out some grades, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: we have yet to talk about the quarterback. Let's let's
Speaker 1: bring up Dak Prescott here. Five hundred and two yards
Speaker 1: of passing, three touchdowns. If he's on your fantasy team,
Speaker 1: you're real happy. But overall, I'll start with you, McCrae.
Speaker 1: What grade would you give the Cowboys quarterback? You know,
Speaker 1: for his fight, you know, and his ability to bring
Speaker 1: us back in the game. I'm gonna give him a B.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give him that because if you watch
Speaker 1: that game and even even the touchdown to Mark Cooper,
Speaker 1: my man almost threw five interceptions. Um, you know, he
Speaker 1: got away with a lot of stuff in that game
Speaker 1: that that he shouldn't have, maybe because he was playing
Speaker 1: the Browns and they just weren't able to capitalize on
Speaker 1: those plays. But you know he was able to bring
Speaker 1: us back. He gave us a chance to win that game.
Speaker 1: And you know he ended ended this one off with
Speaker 1: an interception. But you know, I'm gonna give him a
Speaker 1: be just because he kept us in it. And that's
Speaker 1: and that's tough to do, specially when you're down forty
Speaker 1: one fourteen. So he gets a B from me. Four touchdowns,
Speaker 1: My bad was four four touchdowns, Barry, What are you
Speaker 1: gonna get Dak Gray? I'm gonna getting Dak a solid
Speaker 1: CE on this one. Um. Like you said, Daniel, you know,
Speaker 1: I gotta give him credit for fighting back. You know,
Speaker 1: he threw up all these guily numbers. You know they
Speaker 1: were empty calories, but he put them up there, and
Speaker 1: he got them back within a striking within the striking
Speaker 1: realm of getting another crazy comeback. But you know, part
Speaker 1: of the reason they were in that mess, it's because
Speaker 1: of him. I mean so, and like you said, he
Speaker 1: could have thrown like four or five if Cleveland secondary
Speaker 1: could catch. I mean, he would have probably thrown about
Speaker 1: four interceptions out there alone. So for me, I gotta
Speaker 1: give him a C. He did not look great throwing
Speaker 1: the ball out there. Like I said, he brought him back.
Speaker 1: But in the beginning part, where was that at when
Speaker 1: it was you know, seven seven? Where was that at
Speaker 1: when it was fourteen fourteen? We need to see more
Speaker 1: earnestly out of out of this offense as a whole
Speaker 1: instead of when you know, all the chips are down
Speaker 1: and no one expects you to do anything, then you
Speaker 1: want to show up. So for me, this offense, they
Speaker 1: all got to step it up. And it starts with
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. So I'm gonna give him a C grade
Speaker 1: for this. Uh this game, Cleveland Brown, we don't we
Speaker 1: don't have it, bro, I'm sorry, we don't have it,
Speaker 1: all right, we don't have it. When when the game
Speaker 1: is close, this is the same thing. We're going back
Speaker 1: to trash yards again. The defense liter let's out the gas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the defense let out the gas. And then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, they think they're going home and
Speaker 1: they're getting on the bus because the game's over. And
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: we wake up. Maybe that's our strategy. Get down real,
Speaker 1: you know, lull them to sleep, and then try to
Speaker 1: try to make a comeback, because that's the only way
Speaker 1: we're getting all these yards. Its head coach. That's a
Speaker 1: different year. The head coach said, there a come back team,
Speaker 1: and the press conference, I'm sitting here, listen, this is
Speaker 1: the strategy to come back team. I mean, I U
Speaker 1: who I mean, Hey, look man, I'm off that cool league. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm off that Mike. Okay, I poured all that out
Speaker 1: and I poured all that out and new No, sir, no, sir, no, sir.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't. I can't get with what I'm
Speaker 1: here where you know we're a come back team. No, no, no, baby, no,
Speaker 1: that's that's not the strategy you want. Hey, let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and get down and then we're gonna gonna use
Speaker 1: then we're gonna throw out our good plays. We're gonna
Speaker 1: come back like no. No, um no, I've got to
Speaker 1: give I give Dak al b I give Dak could
Speaker 1: be um for the standpoint is you know he did
Speaker 1: keep the team in the game. Uh, didn't just fold.
Speaker 1: But I also come back to this thing that I
Speaker 1: argue with about people, and Bucky Brooks is with me
Speaker 1: on the same thing. They're just throwing the ball too much.
Speaker 1: Fifty eight passing attempts, Okay, another week where sure Dak's
Speaker 1: got well over four hundred fifty yard. Three weeks in
Speaker 1: a row, he's got five hundred two yards. But they're
Speaker 1: throwing the ball way too much. What have we seen
Speaker 1: out of Baker Mayfield and what they did in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Cleveland said we're gonna run this thing and we're gonna
Speaker 1: limit the amount of throws for Baker Mayfield. When I
Speaker 1: go back and look at one of the most successful
Speaker 1: seasons for Tony Romo, it was when they gave DeMarco
Speaker 1: Murray the ball, and DeMarco Murray was the NFC Offensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Year. They limited the throws for Tony Romo.
Speaker 1: When you see guys out here slinging the ball almost
Speaker 1: sixty times a game, there's something else that usually comes
Speaker 1: with that, a loss. And I still don't understand why
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are out here throw throw, throw, throw, throw,
Speaker 1: And people could say, well, the game dictated that, but
Speaker 1: you know what, if you start the game better in
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and starting the football game, then maybe you'll
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to do what the Browns did. You know.
Speaker 1: I went back here and I looked at the Okay,
Speaker 1: this is the first series, all right, First and ten
Speaker 1: of the twenty five, Ezekiel Elliott gets four yards on
Speaker 1: a run and then Joe Looney the center ended up leaving.
Speaker 1: So a second and six of the twenty nine, Dak
Speaker 1: got sacked by Miles Garrett. Now it was criminal that
Speaker 1: they let Terrence Steal out here all by yourself, all
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. Okay, that was just absolutely criminal. But also
Speaker 1: Dak help if you watched it. If you watch that play,
Speaker 1: Dak held onto the ball too long, you got to know, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I got rookie against a number one pick in the draft.
Speaker 1: Who's good. You better have a clock in your head.
Speaker 1: Did homeboys coming? So I put I look at that,
Speaker 1: and I said that I need I need you. You're
Speaker 1: making thirty one million dollars. I need you to cover
Speaker 1: up for the mistakes or cover up for what could
Speaker 1: happen with Terrence Steal. You gotta be ready for that.
Speaker 1: So I put that on. The coaches also put that
Speaker 1: one on the quarterback. So now it's third and seventeen.
Speaker 1: Zeke catches the ball. They just give it to him,
Speaker 1: so it's then's the fourth down and then so Cleveland
Speaker 1: gets the ball. They got a first and ten at
Speaker 1: their thirty. Nick Chubb runs uh makes a first down
Speaker 1: run first and ten on the Cowboy forty nine incomplete
Speaker 1: pass tipped by Joe Thomas, second and ten of the
Speaker 1: forty nine Hooper with the Austin Hooper with the first
Speaker 1: down reception. Then it's first and ten on the thirty seven.
Speaker 1: Then he got the trick play where Jarvis Landry comes
Speaker 1: out there. It's got the whole defense sucked in and
Speaker 1: food then throws into O B J and the end zone.
Speaker 1: Let's address that one real quick. You know that was
Speaker 1: covered too, all right. It's no way that that that
Speaker 1: that should have happened. You got two safeties back the
Speaker 1: receiver or releases out the line going out for a
Speaker 1: pass and my safety comes up to go defending the run.
Speaker 1: No way that should have happened. We just made these
Speaker 1: guys look like superstars. This once again another episode the
Speaker 1: bad Eyes. I mean, to your point earlier knew you.
Speaker 1: I mean it's easy to limit, you know, Baker Mayfield's
Speaker 1: throws and attempts to I think he only attempted thirty
Speaker 1: thirty pat But when you got that, yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: a that's a that's a great formula for Cleveland. And
Speaker 1: when you got that in the backfield though, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: Wen you got and then your third down, the third
Speaker 1: running back it's going for for damn here at a
Speaker 1: hundred yards. I mean, so it's easy to limit his throws.
Speaker 1: But when you come to our side, I mean, what
Speaker 1: you get Zeke at twelve or fifty four on a
Speaker 1: four point five carry. I mean we got to see
Speaker 1: more from Zeke as well. I mean he fumbled the ball.
Speaker 1: I mean we got to see more from Zeke's will.
Speaker 1: I'm not putting any I mean I'm still blaming it,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm still saying that gott to step this
Speaker 1: game up. But we gotta see more out of this
Speaker 1: running game as well them. Okay, yeah, Now here's here's
Speaker 1: my thing on on Cleveland versus the Cowboys. And we
Speaker 1: spoke about earlier in the week. You knew what Cleveland
Speaker 1: wanted to do. They wanted to run the football, all right.
Speaker 1: They they put the resources in the offensive line like
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have done. And so they say, they let
Speaker 1: you know, we're coming to run. And we also spoke
Speaker 1: about how their strength is the cowboys weakness on the
Speaker 1: D line. So they came out there. It was no secret. Okay,
Speaker 1: nobody in the Cowboys should be surprised about what they
Speaker 1: were coming to do. They were coming up pounding and
Speaker 1: they couldn't stop it. Meanwhile, I'm starting to ask, what
Speaker 1: are the Cowboys? What are the Cowboys? To me? The
Speaker 1: Cowboys are not committed to running the football that they
Speaker 1: want to sit up here and draw. Kellie wants to
Speaker 1: draw plays, and he McCarthy want to throw it all
Speaker 1: around the football field because they got all these these
Speaker 1: these quote unquote weapons and they've abandoned the run. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Zekiel Elliott once again with fourteen care Then then here's
Speaker 1: the thing, and I would ask, if I'm Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: and Stephen Jones, I'd ask these coaches this, why the
Speaker 1: heck did we pay him? Why did you pay Ze money?
Speaker 1: Why did you pay Zee all these money? If you
Speaker 1: aren't going to give this guy the ball, you could
Speaker 1: just go get a regular old running back, Gio, you
Speaker 1: can get you can get somebody, But well, I pay
Speaker 1: this kind of money and you're not featuring the play.
Speaker 1: That's why I agree with you. I mean, like, I
Speaker 1: don't think twelfth carriers in the full game is enough
Speaker 1: at all. I mean, yeah, he got some receptions out there.
Speaker 1: I think got eight receptions or eight targets out there,
Speaker 1: and they call all eight of them. But that's not
Speaker 1: that should be our identity. We're not there, you know,
Speaker 1: two thousand. We're not the two thousand and ten Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers where Aaron Rodgers was throwing the ball all
Speaker 1: over the place. I mean, that's that's not who we are.
Speaker 1: We have the talent to be that, but I think
Speaker 1: our formula fund that get has always been, you know,
Speaker 1: ground and pound and then throw what we need to.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, maybe Kellen Moore's been playing too
Speaker 1: much Madden. I don't know what's going on with them,
Speaker 1: but I mean he's throwing all over yard like we're
Speaker 1: in recess and it's just not working for our team
Speaker 1: right now. Once again, somebody listened to Amari Cooper, Dak
Speaker 1: and Zeke or should be the only people who touching
Speaker 1: the ball in the first years of the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we could just get that done and show people that
Speaker 1: that's what we're focusing on, giving giving Zeke the ball,
Speaker 1: find a way to get Cool the ball, you know,
Speaker 1: saying starting the game out like that, with a long,
Speaker 1: methodical drive, I think that everything changes for us. But
Speaker 1: we just were just set on not doing that, not
Speaker 1: focusing on our big time money players that we paid
Speaker 1: to go out there and have production. Well, well now
Speaker 1: now let me okay, all right, you bring that up.
Speaker 1: Now the first series, okay, it was it was all
Speaker 1: twenty one, all right, I mean, did you start first
Speaker 1: and ten to twenty five was a Zeke run? The
Speaker 1: SAT killed them? Okay, that Sat killed them? And so
Speaker 1: on third and seventeen it was Zeke. So the next
Speaker 1: time they get the ball after the the Odell Beckham
Speaker 1: Junior trick play touchdown, uh, it's first and tended to
Speaker 1: twelve because because your boy on the kickoff was lost.
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard on that kickoff, Oh my gosh, what death taxis?
Speaker 1: And Tony pold on these kickoffs. Boy, So it's first
Speaker 1: and ten of the twelve and it's a Dalton Schultz
Speaker 1: twenty five yard catch for first down, second and tended
Speaker 1: to thirty seven they run Zeke for three yards, second
Speaker 1: and seven A to forty it is a Ezekiel Elliott
Speaker 1: eighteen yard reception for a first down. Then it's first
Speaker 1: intended to forty three, and it's CD Lamb with the
Speaker 1: forty three yard touchdown, and they tied at seven. So
Speaker 1: so you know, the first two I didn't hear Cooper.
Speaker 1: I didn't hear Mark Cooper in there. And then third
Speaker 1: and seventeen to Zeke to me, is irrelevant. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's thirty seventeen. You just try to get out of
Speaker 1: there and put the ball. You're gonna give it to Zeke.
Speaker 1: You're gonna throw it down the field seventeen yards and
Speaker 1: get an interception that don't count. And then you said
Speaker 1: you come back the second drive and you got Dalton
Speaker 1: shots and you hit Cede Lamb after Zeke runs for three.
Speaker 1: I still don't hear Cooper in there, and I hear
Speaker 1: a run from from Zeke. But you can't argue with
Speaker 1: what happened. Okay, So shots for a twenty five yard game.
Speaker 1: That's a good play up. Okay, Yeah, listen, the worst,
Speaker 1: the worst thing, the worst thing you can do is
Speaker 1: get lucky in a situation like this. This is why
Speaker 1: we haven't focused on giving these guys the ball, because
Speaker 1: what have you don't give it to them and then
Speaker 1: you get it player, you like, shoot, you know what?
Speaker 1: That that's our that's our recipe right there. We should
Speaker 1: just keep going away from because we got other options
Speaker 1: that we can get to to make these plays and
Speaker 1: it's not working. Okay. So I'm gonna fight you on this.
Speaker 1: So okay, I'm gonna fight you on this one. Okay.
Speaker 1: So now all the third possession, Okay, third possession here
Speaker 1: comes Cooper. Okay. So it's a first intended to sixteen,
Speaker 1: a ten yard game for Cooper. Then uh Pollard or
Speaker 1: the five yard run Cooper with Pollards in the game. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1: So so Cooper asked, that's a first two under series
Speaker 1: three first three plays two go to Cooper. Then um,
Speaker 1: it's a slant to Noah Brown for a first down.
Speaker 1: Then it's a CD Lamb reception that was off that
Speaker 1: play that got tipped, that should have been picked but
Speaker 1: he caught it out of the air. That it's an
Speaker 1: incomplete pass on first and tend the twenty eight second
Speaker 1: in tended that they get Browns twenty eight CD Lamb
Speaker 1: for a three yard run on the jet suite, then
Speaker 1: third seven or the twenty five the CD Lanb reception.
Speaker 1: Then they came up with the fourth down and two play.
Speaker 1: Then there was a two yard touchdown pass say the
Speaker 1: twenty yards test well actually, so actually you know you're
Speaker 1: right you right now, let me help you write what
Speaker 1: was the score at this point? Right, so if we're
Speaker 1: getting our players involved, we got Zeke involved, we got Cooper.
Speaker 1: What was the score seven fourteen to seven? Cowboys? Okay,
Speaker 1: just check it, all right? And then so it worked, yeah, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, my bad, my bad, my bad, You're right,
Speaker 1: new it whatever. At the end of the day, man,
Speaker 1: lord who we scored another point. Look what they did
Speaker 1: on their first six drafts of the game five five
Speaker 1: of the first six Cleveland Browns offensively, five of the
Speaker 1: first six drafts were points, and only one of those
Speaker 1: were field goals. It was one of those field goals.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, our deepense is trash
Speaker 1: right now, and we can't stop those league Like we
Speaker 1: can talk about you know, Dak running, we get talking
Speaker 1: about Zeke doing this. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: we gotta stop somebody. We gotta make it. We gotta
Speaker 1: be able to stop somebody out here. We can't. I yes,
Speaker 1: we gotta take a we gotta take a break. But Danny,
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna fight to you a little bit here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fight you a little bit here. And also
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a break in how this thing

Speaker 1: got to try that Cowboys chi steak. I have not
Speaker 1: had that at the state. I gotta go check that
Speaker 1: out there. I gotta do that, all right, mc craig,
Speaker 1: come on, come on, come on. We're debating a little
Speaker 1: bit here, so so go back to they're doing what
Speaker 1: you want here, Okay, no, no, the kind of kind
Speaker 1: of the they're kind of they're kind of doing what
Speaker 1: I want, all right, but go ahead, alright, seven fourteen seven,
Speaker 1: next play, Cleveland goes on a nine play drive and
Speaker 1: that's when Odell Beckham Junior was wide open as Warley
Speaker 1: was trying to cover him, so that made it fourteen fortune.
Speaker 1: So here they are on drive number four. All right. Uh,
Speaker 1: By the way, Tony Poler took the kickoff, returning to
Speaker 1: the twenty six. So first intended the twenty six Ezekiel
Speaker 1: Elliott nine yard run, second and one of the thirty
Speaker 1: six Ezekiel Elliott runs no game, Third and one of
Speaker 1: the thirty six Elliott makes a first down run of
Speaker 1: two yards, so it's first intended their own thirty eight.
Speaker 1: And here's where the game really gets away from the
Speaker 1: Cowboys and they shoot themselves in the foot. Dak is
Speaker 1: sacked by Miles Garrett strip sack of course against the
Speaker 1: right tackle steel Olivia. First album it was first and
Speaker 1: thirty eight, Yes, I mean first, okay, first, first and
Speaker 1: tend thirty yard line. So so there that that, and
Speaker 1: then of course Cleveland took that and ran u four
Speaker 1: plays later made it twenty one to fourteen with nine
Speaker 1: twenty two to go. So then the exact next play,
Speaker 1: after a kick a touchback first intended to twenty five
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott fumbles, Cleveland gets the ball and then it's
Speaker 1: twenty eight to fourteen. Cleveland twenty unanswered points. So when
Speaker 1: you start to look at this thing, your your playmakers
Speaker 1: are are creating problems and the coaching staff isn't helping.
Speaker 1: The coaching staff is not helping Tarren Steele. And I
Speaker 1: saw Tarrence Steele get benched in this game, and I
Speaker 1: thought that was absolutely wrong on the coaches. From this standpoint,
Speaker 1: you weren't helping him. Of course, Miles Garrett was gonna
Speaker 1: beat him. You bring in Brandon Knight. You know how
Speaker 1: to Brandon right. Miles Garrett ran around hit two. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn about all these receivers you
Speaker 1: want to put in in a route. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if you got three four wide receivers in a route.
Speaker 1: If that doesn't have time to go see these dudes.
Speaker 1: This is the stuff that they did last year that
Speaker 1: drove me nuts, and Kellen Moore is doing it again.
Speaker 1: And this is where Mike McCarthy is the head coach,
Speaker 1: needs to step in here, and Joe Philbing, the offensive
Speaker 1: line coach, needs to step in and say, hey, Callen,
Speaker 1: we gotta help, we gotta help Steal, we gotta help Night,
Speaker 1: because these dudes cannot hold up against the best in
Speaker 1: the game. Imagine what you're gonna do when you face
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at Baltimore. Even Washington's got a good D line.
Speaker 1: I mean, this thing is getting crazy, Philadelphia. This is
Speaker 1: absolutely atrocious that they refuse to help their offensive tackles
Speaker 1: in their time of need. And it's once again it
Speaker 1: is leading to fumbles and points. Cleveland scored fourteen points
Speaker 1: off cowboy mistakes. Fourteen points and when we talk about
Speaker 1: coming into this man, that was what Cleveland was doing there.
Speaker 1: Red and Butter is they created turnovers and they scored
Speaker 1: off the turnovers. Go ahead and Cray, I want to
Speaker 1: Church to touch on this after I kind of break
Speaker 1: it down a little bit because in my mind, what
Speaker 1: I've been saying for so many weeks is get the
Speaker 1: ball to Zeke and then give it the coop and
Speaker 1: then let everything else go out that so that sat
Speaker 1: so that drives that we just went through before Zeke
Speaker 1: fumble was three three straight players to Zeke that got
Speaker 1: us a first down, right we pounded the ball down,
Speaker 1: they throw We have a right tackle who were already
Speaker 1: worried about and we're not giving any help right out there,
Speaker 1: and you come out on first down with Miles Garrett
Speaker 1: on him and you try to throw the ball after
Speaker 1: the running game just got you a first down. To me,
Speaker 1: that doesn't make any sense. And if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: it was a drop back, not even a play action,
Speaker 1: a boot, a sprint out, any of that. It was
Speaker 1: just a straight drop back on first down after Zeke
Speaker 1: thing got you those yards and you get sack forced fumble.
Speaker 1: To me, that just doesn't make sense. It's not smart
Speaker 1: play calling, and it's not working to you know, to
Speaker 1: the advantage of what you're doing. And that's kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, exploiting your own disadvantaged by having that out
Speaker 1: there on Miles Gear that that's just not smart play caller.
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean, I'm not fighting you on that.
Speaker 1: You're you're you're there. I mean, I just this is
Speaker 1: an m O. And this is a question I'd love
Speaker 1: to to ask Mike mccarth these guys press conference coming
Speaker 1: up today, what is your philosophy on trying to protect
Speaker 1: a weakness You've got award. You know your right tackle
Speaker 1: spot is bad. You saw it last week against Seattle,
Speaker 1: and now you're bringing in the premier pass rusher and
Speaker 1: you do this. I don't get it. Danny. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's my thing is I don't I don't get this
Speaker 1: philosophy of not helping these guys because you want more
Speaker 1: dudes in a route. I mean, if I have if
Speaker 1: I have two receivers in a route and I keep
Speaker 1: in shots, you know what's fine. I can, I can.
Speaker 1: I got I got Cooper, I got Gal. I'll find
Speaker 1: a way to get those two guys the ball if
Speaker 1: you give them some time. I think Dad can do that.
Speaker 1: But if there's no time, it doesn't matter if you
Speaker 1: got three or four guys in a route, because Dad's
Speaker 1: never gonna see him. That's what drives me crazy about
Speaker 1: these dudes who want to call these plays. It bucks me, man,
Speaker 1: that bucks me very much. Church, what do you think
Speaker 1: about the play calling? Yeah, my own arm, I think
Speaker 1: you are with the play calling. But y'all, but I
Speaker 1: don't understand. What's why. Are y'all surprised all this has
Speaker 1: that they left this guy at right tackle by himself.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is the m It's always
Speaker 1: too little, too late. I mean, look, we started the
Speaker 1: game out slow man the man, they're pulling up the score.
Speaker 1: Now it's time for us to go. My guy, Terence Still,
Speaker 1: he's getting the brakes beat off of him out there. Man,
Speaker 1: We're just gonna bench him and put Brandon Night out there.
Speaker 1: He's getting the brakes beat off of him. Maybe now
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter will start chipping. So for me,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's simple. It's it's not surprising at
Speaker 1: all that this coaching staff is just letting these guys
Speaker 1: get beat down until it's too late and they say, oh,
Speaker 1: let me go ahead and make an adjustment real quick.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just this coaching staffs m right now.
Speaker 1: And to me, it's it's not surprising at all. Watch
Speaker 1: the mylf. I'll go ahead in no way, let's let's
Speaker 1: take this thing even further and let's look out here,
Speaker 1: all right, And we didn't touch on the episode, so
Speaker 1: let's even get here. Lell Collins is out for the
Speaker 1: year at right tackle, Okay, he's not coming back, gonna
Speaker 1: have surgery gone. Why not take Zach Martin, put him
Speaker 1: out here at right tackle for the rest of the
Speaker 1: year and go put in Connor McGovern. I mean, why
Speaker 1: not do this? Joe Looney went out with a knee injury,
Speaker 1: so you had Tyler beyandest Now at the center spot.
Speaker 1: Why not do this? You used a third round pick
Speaker 1: on Connor McGovern, a guy they said they had a
Speaker 1: second round grade on. Why not do this versus putting
Speaker 1: an undrafted rookie Tarrant Steel out here and Brandon Knight
Speaker 1: another guy who's not a high draft pick out here.
Speaker 1: Why not? It may hurt Zach in terms of making
Speaker 1: another all Pro at guard, but if you're gonna sit
Speaker 1: up here and play the rest of this thing without Collins,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't call me crazy, but I think
Speaker 1: Martin is better than those other two. So why not
Speaker 1: that guy out there just tell him to go ahead
Speaker 1: and suck it up. I'm a little before we go
Speaker 1: ahead and start doing you know, mismatching and fantasy football
Speaker 1: moving this guys, this guy here, why don't we just
Speaker 1: give the guy some help. Just go aheaded and let's
Speaker 1: see what they can do when they're running back chips,
Speaker 1: or let's see what they can do when they keep
Speaker 1: it tight end and they and they double team that
Speaker 1: guy and help that tackle over there. I mean, before
Speaker 1: we start moving you know, all pro guards over the
Speaker 1: tackle and mismatching this that and a third and playing
Speaker 1: fantasy football, let's just get a guy some help and
Speaker 1: see what he could do is see if he could
Speaker 1: stand up with some help out there, and we had
Speaker 1: we get to see that, all right, Church? Right, I
Speaker 1: come at a two ways. If you're going to be
Speaker 1: committed to not giving help, okay, if this is their
Speaker 1: system says they're going to do, then put the better
Speaker 1: right tackle out there. And Martin is a better right tackle.
Speaker 1: So if I'm going to pat, if I'm going to
Speaker 1: go ahead, Church, go ahead, gonn finish it now? I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: go ahead ahead, okay. So if I'm going to if
Speaker 1: I'm going to make my self weaker, would I rather
Speaker 1: make myself weaker at the right tackle or at the
Speaker 1: right guard? Where it depends when you're playing? Where do
Speaker 1: I want? The more it detends who you're playing there?
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're playing, go ahead, go ahead, And
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go ahead. No, I'm just saying, at this
Speaker 1: point in time, I'm going to either way, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have award if you leave yourself at right tackle and
Speaker 1: you're not going to help, okay, So if you're not
Speaker 1: gonna help, like you're saying, if they're not gonna help,
Speaker 1: then you need to put Zack Martin out there. If
Speaker 1: you're pleasingly steal a night there, then you better help them.
Speaker 1: But they gotta do one or the other man. You
Speaker 1: gotta do one of the Yeah, that's yeah, what they're
Speaker 1: doing right now is criminal. And that's that's all I'm saying,
Speaker 1: is if, like, if you're gonna go out there and
Speaker 1: leave that guy out there, at least help him out there.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just that's the that's the easiest thing,
Speaker 1: and that's the easiest solution I think right now, is
Speaker 1: if if you're gonna, if you're gonna have that guy
Speaker 1: at rat tackle, at least give him the most help possible.
Speaker 1: Don't act like he's Tyring Smith out there and just
Speaker 1: leave him on an island with one of the best
Speaker 1: pass rushers in the game right now. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: just it's just crazy to me. And if you're gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and not help him at all, then go
Speaker 1: ahead and put the other all pro Zach Martin, which
Speaker 1: I'm sure he could be an all pro at any
Speaker 1: of those positions on the offensive line, go ahead and
Speaker 1: put him out there, but just don't make the decision
Speaker 1: to where, all right, we're just gonna leave him out
Speaker 1: there and whatever happens happens, because to me, that's just
Speaker 1: that's just a bad coaching error, and that's just a
Speaker 1: bad coaching judgment. We should we should start a segment
Speaker 1: called called why not? All right? Why why not help out?
Speaker 1: Why not help out your right tackle? Why not kick
Speaker 1: the ball deep instead of kicking it short? You know,
Speaker 1: with with with that most time looting the game, why
Speaker 1: not give the ball to z? Why not give it
Speaker 1: the coup? We could just do why not? And we
Speaker 1: could go we could do a whole season of why not,
Speaker 1: you know, and it wouldn't even begin to cover everything
Speaker 1: that's going on with the Cowboys. We just do so
Speaker 1: much stuff that makes you scratch ahead and say, why
Speaker 1: not do this? It just makes it makes too much sense,
Speaker 1: That's why why not? It makes too much sense for
Speaker 1: us to do it, That is why not. It's too simple,
Speaker 1: it's too easy. Why not do that? Coming soon to
Speaker 1: the players lounge, why not help your right tackle? I mean,
Speaker 1: why just let him get abused out there? Why not?
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not take a knee and just get
Speaker 1: the ball on the twenty five like a confused and
Speaker 1: knew he Like you said before the Odell play, why
Speaker 1: would you just not kick the ball deep. You got
Speaker 1: enough time to try to get the same stop that
Speaker 1: you will have to get anyways, you know, and get
Speaker 1: him out of that field position. It just don't make sense.
Speaker 1: You down about enough to where they kick a field
Speaker 1: goal to games over. I don't understand it. Why not analytics?
Speaker 1: Why I don't know analytics? Mike McCarthy said, you know,
Speaker 1: he had spent all his time in the bunker, and
Speaker 1: you know he was coming back better and I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: better than what we lied to. I mean, was this
Speaker 1: a big old the city stunt? Was this a lie?
Speaker 1: Did they ever really do it? Because if right, if
Speaker 1: you spent that much time, hold up, bro, that's that's bad.
Speaker 1: This is bad results, man, These some bad results and
Speaker 1: the decision making. I don't know, man, And you know, Mike,
Speaker 1: Mike talks today at four the Cowboys coordinators talking four thirty.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get on that call and and hopefully some
Speaker 1: of these questions get answered. But I do feel bad
Speaker 1: for Terrence Steel and Brandon Knight because the Cowboy fan
Speaker 1: will you know, was on on social media, Oh this
Speaker 1: dude stings. These guys are cruggy that that that it's
Speaker 1: not their fault. They are who they are. Don't blame them,
Speaker 1: blame the dude who put them out there and didn't
Speaker 1: didn't try to protect them as well. And it's the
Speaker 1: same time too. The quarterback has to know who's out there.
Speaker 1: Where's Garrett lined up? Okay, Garrett's lined up right there.
Speaker 1: You know what the protection is. So if you know
Speaker 1: Terence steals out there in one on one, you may
Speaker 1: not be able to get all the time you have.
Speaker 1: So that's why you're making thirty one million dollars. You've
Speaker 1: got to be smarter. You got to know that. That's
Speaker 1: where a guy like Tom Brady has been very good
Speaker 1: through the years, is he understands because you know, Tom
Speaker 1: has had a lot of offensive linemen that have been
Speaker 1: a okay, but he understands of how he's got to
Speaker 1: play and get rid of the football. And that's that
Speaker 1: goes on the quarterback too. Not all on the quarterback,
Speaker 1: but some of it's there. But it ain't these guys
Speaker 1: fault man. The coaching staff has to protect him. All right.
Speaker 1: We have vented for forty five minutes. We'd even finished
Speaker 1: giving out all our grades. We just vented here. So
Speaker 1: we'll bring some more tomorrow as the Cowboys get ready
Speaker 1: for what I deem a must win as they play
Speaker 1: their first NFC East game of the year. As they
Speaker 1: get get ready to take on the New York Giants
Speaker 1: who are old and four. That's Barry Church Danny mc craie,
Speaker 1: former Boys safeties. I'm new we scruts a long time
