WEBVTT - Player's Lounge: How Legitimate Are They? 0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:08.360 The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:16.279 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is the 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:21.520 player's luge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:26.680 the Star. No Your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCray, and 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:32.680 Newi Scrugs Victory Monday. Everybody, welcome inside the s WBC 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.040 podcast studios. Here at the Star of newis Scrugs along 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:40.400 with the Ultimate Survivor. He is Danny McCray. Our other partner, 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:45.080 Barry Church is um. Let's hear it got a very 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:51.080 very very valid excuse for not being with us today. 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.200 Hold on, wait, listen, let me tell you something. Hey, hey, Chris, 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:58.560 Chris cb um. When when our intro comes on, Barry 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.040 Churches first, Okay, he got about two to three most 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.800 shows to miss in twenty twenty one before he has 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.720 moved down. All right, we can't be buried Church. He's 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.000 not here, all right, So we just got to decide 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:14.240 that we even need to keep him on there. I 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:15.560 need to cut him out of the open. As I 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.039 was saying, you might have he's not here. Just get 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.080 rid of them out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know you 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:25.760 want to customize Yeah, yeah, customized, because customized for every show. 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.360 Just be like in Missing Buried Church. Yeah, you know 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.080 like Dandy mccraig knew he scrugs and Missing Barry. I like, yeah, 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:38.120 that that'll work. You have the side tub, like yeah, yeah, 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:42.800 let's do that. So Church was out and he couldn't 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.000 fly back. Now there are two valid reasons. One, he 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.360 said the storms last night prevented him from getting on 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.840 his flight getting into which are legitimate. I was here, 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.360 I work at a TV news station. My man came in, 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.200 Rick Mitchell came in. He was doing uh, I mean 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.400 he was eight o'clock and he was already you know, 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.520 all during the game, was doing you know some people 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.320 are happy, uh giving updates all during the game about 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.800 everything was going on. And so so that's legitimate. And 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.639 then two, if he was on Southwest Airlines, he probably 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.680 woudn't get on the flight because the bus, those folks side, 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.320 they weren't going to work. Now, I kind of you 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:22.680 doubt churches on you know, very churches not flying Southwest. 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:27.399 I don't think that first class south that's not that's 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.799 not a very church thing, right, the church and family 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.280 can see trying to get over here, trying to get 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.840 first that first group one. NA got bad lunch to 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.079 get that. Yeah, I know. I'm just just so your 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.680 second one. There's no longer valance. I just possible. Maybe 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.639 last minute he was trying to get on the I 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.639 don't know. I don't so so church is not here 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.240 today for victory Monday. I hope he had fun out there. 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:51.519 It was a very nice place he went to. It 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.120 was one of my favorite places, So I hope he 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.840 had a great time. Cowboys win forty four to twin. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.600 We're not going to spend a whole lot of time 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.880 looking at any negatives. We're just going to have fun 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.400 today and and drink the kool aid of a team 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.760 that is four and one and in first place in 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.280 the NFC East. One of the things that I want 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.720 to talk about amongst the record, which is something that 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.600 Dak Prescott got beat up a lot on over the summer. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.799 I remember Dan Orlovsky being one of the people beating 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.480 in the drum. Many people beat the drum on lists. Okay, fine, 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.440 can Dak beat good teams? Oh yeah, he's got a 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.440 nice record. Who are you beating? It's any good? So 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.840 they have? Boy, you got a lot of time they 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.760 parceled out, broken down the ratios of good teams versus 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.400 losing teams. So the Cowboys are four and one this year. 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.400 Their first win was over a team that is four 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.200 and one right now, the LA Chargers, and looking like 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.320 looking like the best team at AFC. I'll give them. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.240 I mean, I got to give a buffalo over you know, okay, 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.360 looking like one of the best teams that the top two, 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.280 top two. They are a contender. Absolutely if they ended 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.520 up in Los Angeles at the Super Bowl her own stadium, 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.880 you would not be shocked in surprise. Boy. I feel 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.920 bad for Anthony Lynn, no longer the head coach there, 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.520 because you see the second year matchuration of Justin Herbert 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.720 and what he's been able to do. Wow, that's a 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.400 really good quarterback. And I feel sad for the brother 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.920 GM down there in Miami who decided to take two US. Look, 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.279 I will say this for Anthony look against Anthony Lynn, 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.599 all right, because Justin Herbert was playing very well last 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.520 year once when he got in the game, there were 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.920 just some coaching mistakes that were getting made where they 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.440 just could not finish at the end of games. So 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.560 he had Justin Herbert in time for him to get 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.080 some wins on his under his building and make a 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.800 case for him to still be with the lah Chargers. 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.200 But didn't work out for him. And that's the difference 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:42.600 in this year. I mean, I can sit him here 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.360 all day long and Anthony Lynn, former assistant here with 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.520 the Cowboys, who I absolutely love as a person. Yes, 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.960 the differences. They're winning the games that they lost last year. 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.640 They they found ways to lose. And I look at 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.640 the Chargers, it's so much of Anthony's tenure. It was 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.640 not that they lost games. They gave away games off 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.560 getting gave away football games and you can't do that 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.360 for long. And the Chargers ownership of the spanis just 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.160 they gave him enough time, so it happened. And this 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:09.480 is kind of the when you look at say, okay, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:10.920 what happens if you don't give away these games? It's 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.440 four and one football team with a quarterback playing really well. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.040 So therefore one they beat the Carolina Panthers. Panthers came 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.680 in here as a first placed undefeated team. Panthers have 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.120 now dropped two straight loss of the Cowboys and Philadelphia, 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.000 but that's still a three and two football game. I 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.080 mean football team you beat Philadelphia. Philadelphia is two and 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.560 three who they beat Carolina yesterday. The Giants are one 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.640 and four who you beat yesterday by twenty four. But 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.360 you knew those teams were You knew you were better 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.320 than those teams. Okay, when people were talking about the 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.839 division this year, you were saying Dallas Washington. The other 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.280 two weren't even in the conversation. So the four and 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.440 one record I wanted to stand on and just say, hey, look, 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.080 it's legitimate. So many times you can look at it. 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.400 You know how legitimate are they? This is legitimate, it's 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.160 and I think it's it's it's legit because one, you 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.880 have to beat who you play against, right, and then 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.520 you have to perform up to your standard when you 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.320 play them. And I think we've done that right with 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.600 the exception of like blowing them out and at the 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.400 end of the game getting those garbage yards and letting 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.800 people back in the game once it's really over, we've 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.400 been performing how we expect to when we play those 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.520 teams that we know we should beat. Also, we are 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.520 rolling and getting better each and every week, like and 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.800 this is every phase of the game. So if you 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.160 start on offense, in the beginning of the season, you say, man, 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.679 we need to get our running game going, running games rolling. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.679 You look at defense, you say, we need to stop 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.760 the pass because we're giving up a lot of passing yards. 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.840 We got ten in exceptions. Right. Special teams is like, 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.440 we want to make sure that the plays that they 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.479 call us out for on special teams are positive. You 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.600 see C J. Gooding run down their all point make 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.440 a big time play on special teams. We are continuing 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.400 to get better. And if we put it all together 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.640 and we continue to get better throughout this entire season, 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.200 the Scot's a limit for us. The only loss the 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:53.000 Cowboys have is a last second field goal against the 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:58.320 Super Bowl champions in their house. Yeah, and missing Zach 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:02.240 Martin on that very day. We're not healthy. I mean, 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.320 you think about how much better we're getting so far. 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.480 We got Leo Collins out, we got Gallop out, we 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.760 got Tank out, we got Neville Gallimore out. You had 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.400 Randy Gregory the game. You had Torn dorns Armstrong out 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:15.840 the game. You had to start safety Willson. I mean 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.440 you you all along. This guy was gone. This guy 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.520 so there are a lot of positive and credit Tad 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:25.000 coach Mike McCarthy absolutely, because they have made no excuses 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.119 and they've put together a program in which the next 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.600 player goes up. One of the things that Mike talks 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.240 about a lot, and you saw it in a Hard 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.080 Knocks and he mentioned it all the time of the 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.480 podium it took seventy three players to win a Super 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.920 Bowl when he was with the Green Bay Packers. And 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:41.680 I remember that being in there in that Super Bowl 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.800 game and Donald Driver went out, where are you going out? 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:46.320 And they had a lot of guys within that get 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.120 Charles Wildson got hurt in a game. They want it. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.720 They just kept going. So you see those traits of 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.480 what he was talking about, and they're there. They're there 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.600 for the football team. I like what you talked about 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.800 with the run game. Here, let's listen to Dak Prescott 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.880 on the Cowboys run game, which had two hundred and 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.640 one yards of rushing a thirty nine attempts against the 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.480 Giants on Sunday. Yeah, it makes my job a lot easier. 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.680 I mean it starts with the offensive line. Those guys 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.600 are doing a great job weekend and week out. Whatever 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.240 look that they're getting dominating the guys in front of them. 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.600 And dominating that look and giving those guys those backs 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.400 lanes to run in and then whether Zeke or whether 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.120 it's Tony, they're both hitting and they're getting to the 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.840 second level making guys miss, and it's impressive. And when 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.400 you're able to do that, you get the box counts 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:26.960 that you want to be able to take advantage of 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.520 them outside and we're able to do that. But as 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.120 you said, to have a guy go for a one hundred, 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.559 a guy go for seventy five and three hundred in 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.240 the air, I think that just talks about the whole offense, 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.120 but it starts with the offensive line in the way 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.480 that they're establishing the run. Your thoughts, I love it. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:46.600 Listen for as much criticism as Jason Garrett took when 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.400 he was here, we were a running team. Where you 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.800 started with it was upfront. We want to dominate the 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.280 line of scrimmage and lean on those guys on the 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:55.920 defensive lines. And when you get to the end of 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.200 the game, those two yard runs turning the fifteen yard 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.920 runs and twenty our runs and we are back to that. 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.080 Right when you watch the game, you say, look, this 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.679 is this is how we're going to play, no matter what, 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.800 no matter how many receivers we got out, no matter 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.760 who we're missing, we can lean on the fact that 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.719 our old line is better than theirs. We can lean 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.480 on the fact that our running backs are better than 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.400 their linebackers, than their secondary players. And we've done that 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.320 for the last three weeks, and the way that we've 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.760 won these games, this is the recipe for success for 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.400 the rest of the season. We were worried about Keller 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.280 Moore calling runs in the first game, and he came 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.200 and showed us, don't don't worry, y'all. I got this. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.880 I go back to something Mike McCarthy said all in 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.760 the off season. We want to be a balanced football team. 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:42.760 He said, we threw the ball too much last year, 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.559 and we're seeing that take place. So Ezekiel Elliott another 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.160 hundred yard game, But how about Tony Pollard, Tony Parker 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.560 seventy five yards rushing in this football game? And I 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:52.960 just kind of was going down looking at the list. 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.560 All right, look, look what did some other guys do 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.440 yesterday in terms of running the football. Here Miles Sanders 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:01.880 up Philadelphia, Levin carries forty five yards, killing my fantasy team. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.079 I didn't take him I knew not to take that guy. 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.679 I knew not to touch any of that. Josh Jacob's 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.560 first round draft pick of the Raiders fifteen carries forty 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:17.040 eight yards. Yesterday, Joe Mixon had ten carries for thirty 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.240 three yards. Some J. P. Ryan for Cincinnati fifty nine yards, 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.040 Aaron Jones fourteen carries one hundred three yards, had a 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.400 long of fifty seven on his neck. My man James 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.880 James Robinson, he had a long of fifty something that 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.080 had one hundred and two under and whatever. Right, And 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:32.560 I bring this up here as I'm just kind of 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.320 scrolling and looking at just some of the other box 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:38.800 scores here from when you see Tony Pollard gets fourteen 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.200 carries for seventy five yards, and this is backup south. 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.520 You know you're the number two, and you see Zeke 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.199 with twenty one carries in one hundred ten yards, you 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.319 just you just know that what they're doing right now 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.800 is very uncommon in the league. You know, seventy five 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.840 yards for more than half these teams yesterday, Tony pably 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.199 would have been league rushing for a whole lot of 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.800 football teams. Astudent listening to care We mentioned this at 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.320 the get of the season. If you're going to do this, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.040 you want to mirror what the Cleveland Browns it did 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.040 with Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb. All right, that is 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.760 that is a perfect recipe to see, hey man, we're 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.360 gonna take it and we don't need to take it 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:13.880 out of Dack hands like they needed to take it 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.040 out of Baker Mayfield hands. But if you're gonna have 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:17.760 a running game like that, when you got a one 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.800 two punch, that is a true one two punch. Kareem Hunt, 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:25.199 Nick Chubb, Ezekiel Ellie and Tony Poll Okay, thank you, 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.199 thank you, very good stuff here. So just looking at 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.120 what happened yesterday. Dak Prescott thirty three attempts three three 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:37.199 hundred three yards, three touchdowns, Baker Mayfield thirty two attempts 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:42.199 three oh five two touchdowns, rushing game thirty five attempts, 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.520 two hundred and thirty yards for Cleveland on the ground, 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.720 Cowboys two hundred and one yards on the ground thirty 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.679 nine attempts, Chubb twenty one one sixty one, Kareem Hunt 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.679 twelve sixty one. We just kind of see, you know, 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.080 they truly are doing what the Browns are doing right now, 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.199 except the Browns lost to the Chargers. Yeah, yeah, and 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.920 that was a Yeah, that was a totally different game 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.480 than the game that we played, which is why I 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.480 have to give our defensive dan Quinn so much love. 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.880 The Browns have a good defense. You wouldn't be able 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.240 to tell yesterday, right that was that was an offensive shootout. 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.360 Nobody stopping, nobody's stopping the pass, nobody's stopping the run. 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.280 They came here and scored with seventeen. We beat them 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.240 twenty to seventeen. That's the way our defense is playing now. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:29.640 We didn't get a couple of lucky calls, and I 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.880 take those because sometimes when you're on your way to 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.679 making those runs in football, you gotta get lucky some 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.440 some somewhere along the way, teams created absolutely good good teams. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.640 I mean through the years, you always say, man, how 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.040 the Patriots get get all these calls? Good football team? Yeah, 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:45.600 even when the Cowboys winning and night, oh, they get 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.240 all the calls. Good teams get calls. That That's usually 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.120 just how it works. When you're good, they give you 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.640 the benefit of the doubt many times on things. By 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.000 the way, Austin Acro sixty six yards rushing on seventeen carries. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.040 Tony Pollard fourteen carry seventy five yards. Tony Pollard would 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:00.880 have been a leading rusher on a whole lot of 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.800 teams in the National Football League. Yesterday, they're running the 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.240 football very well. Ezekiel Elliott had another one hundred yard game. 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.840 Chris Bean, please give me the cut. Where's Zeke praises 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.000 the offensive line and what the Cowboys are doing it. Oh, 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.360 by the way, this is still not the offensive line 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.000 that the Cowboys have drawn up that they wanted to 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:22.000 go half play on Sundays. Yeah, it all starts up 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.719 front the old line. You know, from the beginning of 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.040 the game where they established the line of scrimmage. They 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.280 dominate the line of scrimmage, and they got their run 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.200 game going and everything he found it plays after that. 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.920 Keep in mind Game one Cowboys didn't have Zach Martin. 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.480 So you still have yet to play the five starting 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.400 offensive lineman that you drew up on the board. He said, 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.080 these are our guys. Has not yet has not happened. 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.160 Terrence Steele will get another start this week at right tackle, 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.760 and then Collins well, he's seeking an injunction this week, 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.560 so we'll see but at this point in time, I'm 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.960 going to assume Terrence Steele is you're starting right tackle 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.000 against the New England Patriots, and then Collins comes back. 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:05.200 Terrence Steele, bravo. Okay. I want to make sure we 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.120 continue to give that young man props for what he's 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.040 done here and to allow the Cowboys to put together 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.240 this run game at passing they've not missed a beat, 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.880 and there was a worry that the Cowboys would not 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.560 be able to be at their best with Terence still 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.240 out there. Put Zach Martin from guard over that. I mean, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.720 this guy has has made all of us forget he's 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.040 out there. Well him. He shout off to him because 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.760 he is playing well. Kellen Moore is also doing a 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.280 hell of a job because I remember in the past 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:35.880 two years we said, hey man, when you get these 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.200 guys out here swing tapping, you're not helping them. What 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.840 is going to help them the most help starting getting 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.520 your tight end and getting your run game going right. Yes, 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.840 these offensive linements to malay guys right. So now when 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.080 you get the defense off balance, they're not able to 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.360 just pin their ears back and rush you all the time. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.360 They have to play honest. The running game is helping 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.880 the entire offense when you're missing a gallop, when you 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.680 got a banged up a Mark Cooper. Your running game 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.400 is carrying you through through this three game win streak. 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.640 So I mean, was it four game win streak? Sorry? 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.720 So shout out to Kelly Moore, Shout out to tear Still, 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.120 Shout out to coach McCarthy for making sure he has 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.480 these guys ready to go in is it? Philman? Shout 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.480 out Shout out to Joe Philman because and I'm so 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.080 this is what makes me so excited because we have 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.960 the correct coaching staff this year. Last year we saw 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.840 what bad coaching can do for you, all right, it 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.680 ruined our season and I stand up one more time. 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.800 It was on this very Dallas Cowboys podcast. We all 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.760 spoke about it. If you're going to hire Dan Quinn, 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.600 let him bring in his coaches. Let him bring in 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.200 the people who understand what he's doing so he doesn't 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.320 have to coach the coaches, which was a problem with 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.560 Mike Nolan last year. Brings in his D line coach, 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.520 he brings in his dB coach, and George Jetwards is 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.440 one of the best coaches in the game and you 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.680 see what he's doing with the linebackers. They brought in 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.560 people who all are on the same page, which on 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.280 the same page they kept out here. I mean, they've 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.360 got a very good coaching staff and everyone has bought 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.480 him and they're not scared to get the Let the 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.960 players play. You're getting the young guys in again. You're 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.200 getting guys and listen, they literally look at the roster 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:14.800 and say, if this guy can play, he will get 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.040 in the game. And that is the ultimate respect for 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.680 your players, and players love coaches that do that. If 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.720 you're gonna earn your right to get on the field, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.960 then we'll put you out there. That has not been 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.360 the case the last ten years. Nope, it's not been 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.360 the case. Too many guys were gifted jobs because of 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.720 who they were. Cowboys win forty four to twenty.

It's so interesting. 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.680 You watch church sitting here and be super animated. He 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:04.119 already has a connection emotional connection to some of these players. 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:06.720 They're like he wants them out, and like any every 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:08.640 new viewer has come up and had the same film. 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:10.560 And so make sure you check the show out Survivor 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:12.879 Wednesdays at seven. If you didn't catch it, go to 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.200 CBS dot com. That's what I did the other day. 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.920 I had missed it and so got up that morning Thursday, 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.000 took a little iPad, got on the treadmill at the gym, 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:24.080 and just watched the show right there. So CBS dot com, 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:26.160 there's no reason for you not to watch. It's available. 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:30.119 It is available to you, all right. Cowboys win forty 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.280 four to twenty over the New York Giants. They come 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:36.600 home and sweep the three football games. So good on them. 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:40.240 Four and one record right now, dominating the NFC East. 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.600 Washington's got some work to do because all this kind 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.639 of talk about well Washington's gonna win Cowboys is not 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:50.920 you talk about eating the cheese. This is a team 0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:53.440 that was supposed to be a good defensive football team. 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:56.480 Their defense is terrible. Okay, I mean then defense is 0:21:56.480 --> 0:22:01.560 getting worked on the rag and Jamis had struggled. He 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:04.520 struggled the past couple of football games, Man, James go 0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:07.680 over there and lit them up like a firecracker. This 0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:10.680 is why, this is why you can always go into 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:14.080 every year and you can't say, hey, man, this team 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:16.639 had a good defense last year. Their front seven was 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:18.520 good last year, so we already know the only thing 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.879 they need to fix their second day. And the NFL 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.040 doesn't work that way. You can be as good as 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.240 you want to be in one year, and the next 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:28.879 year if your team isn't getting better, your coaching staff 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:30.960 isn't making sure you're not staying the same, and you 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:33.320 still got that chip on your shoulder, then you can 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:35.160 all of a sudden slide to the bottom of the league. 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:38.520 It happens all of the time. And then here we 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:42.040 have the total one eighty for our team. Our defense 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.240 came out with a chip on our shoulder because they 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:47.720 played horrible last year, and we are making a complete 0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:53.440 one eighty, especially in the turnover category. Look, man, I 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:55.640 gotta give you credit. You did say it. I didn't 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:58.080 want to believe it, but you said it. They dan Quinn, 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:00.280 dan Quinn, you kept preselling. Man. I got got to 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:02.000 see it because I've just been so I've been so 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:05.439 disappointed in the past, but dan Quinn has been fantastic 0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:08.520 for them. And then we're not even talking about the 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.760 fact that they let go of Jalen Smith this week, 0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:15.240 and you did not miss Jaylen Smith at all. Have 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:17.720 you heard anybody say anything about Tank. He's gonna be 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:21.120 great when he gets back. But even without Tank, we've 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.680 been playing really, really well. Have you mentioned Neville Gallimore? 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:29.320 And these players are coming back to make us better, 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:33.479 But we've been holding on and and really elevating our 0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:36.879 game missing those players, and we are continuing to get turnovers, 0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:40.040 continuing to get big stops, and really teams are only 0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:42.640 putting up yards and getting points when the game's out 0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:44.640 of hand and out of reach. I'm a big, big 0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:46.680 college basketball fan, and one of the things that I 0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:48.920 enjoyed through the years about the NCAA Tournament, I tell 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:52.159 people is it does reward good coaching. It rewards you 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:54.560 being able to build your team up, and then you 0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:57.080 get him towards March in your conference tournament. Then you 0:23:57.119 --> 0:23:58.760 get him in the nca tournament, and then you can 0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:00.520 go on a run. I look at you. CLA went 0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:02.360 on to run where they got to the final four, 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:04.240 and and it was you just saw the team growing 0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:07.280 and getting better. This Cowboys team has the ability to 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:09.280 grow and get better because you're going to see guys 0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:11.879 coming back to the roster. And that, to me is 0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:15.080 if you're a Cowboy fan and you're sitting around here saying, hey, um, 0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:17.879 could this team be special? As Troy Aigment mentioned the 0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:22.920 words special during the broadcast for Fox, that's not crazy fact. 0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:26.640 Listen to Amari Cooper. Cowboys started slow on offense yesterday, 0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:30.880 uncharacteristically slow and Dak Prescott making some early mistakes. Here's 0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:32.800 what Cooper had to say after the game about this 0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:36.560 football team. It's not about the opponent we've planned. It's 0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:39.359 it's it's it's about like our standard. It's about like 0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:44.800 us being the best we could possibly be, because you know, 0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:49.560 our mindset is on a championship. To be a championship, 0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:52.480 you want between Like, as an offense, our goal should 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:55.040 be to score every draw. When we score every drive, 0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:58.520 how can you lose? You know? And so when we 0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:01.879 fall short of that, that's when I kind of get 0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:04.199 like worried a little bit, because you know, when you're 0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:07.280 on a roll like this, it's just, uh, you start 0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:10.200 thinking about a super Bowl, you know. I mean, that's 0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:13.240 that's just the reality of it, and you start to 0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:15.000 want it more and more and more and more the 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:17.800 closer you get, you know, and you should start to 0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:20.440 worry about the little things more like if we get 0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:23.080 stopped this drive, saying what if that happens? You know 0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:24.720 later and see that. That's just how I'll be looking 0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:27.280 at it. But we just gotta we just gotta play 0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:29.000 a little bit cleaner. And I think we could. That's 0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:30.560 the only reason I'm talking like this because I really 0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:33.400 think we could. That is a Mark Cooper Cowboys wide 0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:35.760 receiver as the Cowboys getting forty four to twenty win 0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:38.920 and he's sitting here talking about improving. That is a 0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:42.160 mentality that you get at the University of Alabama because 0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:44.600 Nick Saban is always talking about the process. There's a 0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:46.880 book that was written called Fourth and Goal every Day 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:50.639 by Phil Savage, and he's been around that program forever, 0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:53.159 and that was just the kind of mentality they have. 0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:56.440 Is you know, doing it that way. John Wooden when 0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:58.200 he coached us. Hell, if you're reading the books about 0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:00.520 him and how his mentality was about games and the 0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:03.680 way you go about about winning, it's right there and 0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:06.480 if this is now permeating in the locker room because 0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:08.240 Dak Prescott talked about that. That's nice to win, but 0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:11.440 let's move on. That's what you need to win. Too 0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:19.800 many times Cowboy Nation has celebrated wins, probably too much. 0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:22.879 It's fine on a victory Monday for you, Danty McCray 0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:25.240 to talk about this structure, talk about this Cowboy Nation. 0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:27.720 I like the fact that these guys are looking at 0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:30.119 themselves and saying, yeah, that wasn't our best effort. It's 0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:32.680 good effort, but it wasn't our best effort. Well, listen, 0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:34.760 I think he said everything in the correct way. And 0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:38.800 anybody who listened to that entire thing and said, oh man, 0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:41.800 he's jumping a gun, y'all, didn't hear what he said. 0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:44.680 He said, the more you win and the closer you get, 0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:47.240 the more attention to detail you have to pay, the 0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:50.280 more you have to worry about the small things, the 0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:52.680 small mistakes that you are making that you know will 0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:54.440 stop you from getting to where you want to go. 0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:57.200 He literally listed this out. Not hey man, we're gonna 0:26:57.200 --> 0:26:58.600 go win the super Bowl, he said, if we want 0:26:58.640 --> 0:27:01.240 to win the super Bowl, those little things, those little 0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:03.959 mistakes that we're making. We really have to worry about them. 0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:05.840 They have to bother us enough for us to go 0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:07.960 into the next game and say, hey, we got to 0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:11.560 be better than we were last week. But totally perfect. 0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:13.440 The dude is, you're right Nick Saban and you know, 0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:15.600 unfortunately and M did take them down this week, but 0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:18.000 I can promise you this. They on to the next one. 0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:20.400 They are onto the next one. And you know who 0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:25.639 has that mentality Jimbo Fisher who's the head coach. That 0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:28.720 it's something that if you if you do it correctly, 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:30.720 you start to learn them. And you know, Jimbo has 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.639 won a national championship using those very techniques and the 0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:36.680 things that he had gotten from Nick Saban. He has 0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:38.920 a he has a program. He has his team lose 0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:44.680 to Arkansas. Everybody's like, oh my god. And then what 0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:48.000 Alabama comes onto the next one. Guys, onto the next one. 0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:50.800 We stopped doing those little things, making those small mistakes 0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:53.440 that cause people to lose games. Then we can come 0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:55.159 up and win a big one. And what do you do? 0:27:56.040 --> 0:27:59.359 Beat Alabama? Beat Alabama and really shut up his fan 0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:03.080 base which is howling at him. Maybe somebody can go 0:28:03.119 --> 0:28:05.119 ahead and give some of that advice to Dan Campbell 0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:08.600 who broke down crying at the podium, and I felt 0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:11.240 for the man, Dan Campbell, former Dallas Cowboys, tied in 0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:14.320 here always, you know, even the media favor We all 0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:17.680 like Dan. And to watch Dan breakdown yesterday reminded me 0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:20.200 of what I read in Bill Walsh's book called The 0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:22.840 Score takes care of everything itself. You put so much 0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:24.960 into and you just start to wonder, Man, my goodness, grace, 0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:26.720 she's when do we catch a breaking lines with another 0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:29.760 heartbreaking fifty plus yard field goal to beat them and 0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:33.000 they're over on the season. But I like the mentality 0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:35.560 of what Amari Cooper said. It wasn't said with any arrogance. 0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:37.280 It was said with this is how we are going 0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:39.320 about our business. And the Cowboys, already four and one 0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:42.880 football team, start to look at this NFC East away 0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:45.080 its shaping up right now. Just in the East, Cowboys 0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:48.840 four and one, in the North Green Bay four and one, 0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:54.840 South Tampa Bay four and one, NFC West Arizona five 0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:58.360 and oh Rams four and one, Seahawks two and three, 0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:02.280 San Francisco two and three. With quarterback issues, Man Russell 0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:05.840 Wilson's gonna miss some time Jimmy Garoppolo can't stay healthy there. 0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:08.560 I A lot of people had the forty nine ers 0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:11.920 and the Seahawks in the playoffs, so people had to 0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:13.920 win the division. I had the Niners win the division. 0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:15.840 But you know, you just saw these two football teams 0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:17.680 that people are assuming, and you just see right now, 0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:19.520 it's not going that way. I'll tell you. The great 0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:22.880 thing about that is because I'm drinking the kool Ai. Okay, 0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:25.040 Dan Quinn brought me my cup of kool ai, you know, 0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.920 my solo Red Cup. The best thing about the NFC 0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:30.960 West is we're probably going to be fighting with one 0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:34.280 Green Bay in the North and Arizona in the West 0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:36.400 for the number one seed because you only get one, 0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:40.200 and you get that one. Buy all right. The competition 0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:43.320 in that division, when Russell Wilson returns and we know 0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:46.560 that that San Francisco is always gonna play you hard, 0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:51.120 can possibly help us eliminate Arizona as the number one 0:29:51.160 --> 0:29:53.200 seed and have us going up against Green Bay. So 0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:55.520 I'm excited for what's going on over there in the 0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:58.320 West because we know that no matter what Seattle's record is, 0:29:58.640 --> 0:30:00.760 they are still the Seattle Seahawk. When you start thinking 0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:02.800 about that in the seventeen game schedule. Now they've added 0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:04.960 more teams to the playoffs that there's only gonna have 0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:08.320 one by That's where you hate how New England couldn't 0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:10.600 close the deal Nextieff couldn't kick that field goal to 0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:13.360 beat Tampa Bay. You hate how the Bengals couldn't finish 0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:15.960 off the deal against the Green Bay Packers yesterday. Since that, 0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:18.680 you need a little bit of help there, that you're 0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:20.840 needing some help and you're just not getting it. And 0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:22.600 you can say, hey, nu he Danny, you guys are 0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:24.000 gonna way way ahead of what you need to be. 0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:26.840 But no, there's no reason why you shouldn't start looking 0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:30.000 at these games and start looking at the standings and 0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:32.680 thinking that this is what you need to do. Start 0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:34.880 looking right now. Jason Garry talk about stacking together wins. 0:30:34.920 --> 0:30:37.320 You're stacking together wins, but you're also looking at how 0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:39.720 do I get there? Like, how do I get to 0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:43.760 a point to where it matters if Arizona losers or 0:30:43.800 --> 0:30:46.520 if Green Bay losers. We continue to win these games 0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:49.360 and get better and better each week. This is our goal. 0:30:49.640 --> 0:30:52.200 Our goal is to win our division. They're not goal 0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:53.920 lists to get that by week. They're not goal list 0:30:54.040 --> 0:30:56.640 to go NFC Championship and then Super Bowl, Like you 0:30:56.800 --> 0:30:59.720 have to have these things listed out right and you 0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:02.320 have a process for how you get there. And Amari 0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:05.760 Cooper was great and kind of painting the picture for 0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:07.800 what we need to do to continue to get better 0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:12.120 East and every week.

You've beat in 0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:51.200 the first place four and one Chargers team. You've beaten 0:34:51.239 --> 0:34:53.920 a Carolina Panthers team which came in here with the 0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:58.719 number one defense in two statistical categories, and you handled them. 0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:02.279 You handled them to be Tampa and you're only lost it. 0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:04.960 It's a last second field goal to the world champions 0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:07.439 on Thursday night in the home opener in their place. 0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:11.680 Hard to argue with what we're seeing. I'm starting to 0:35:11.719 --> 0:35:16.719 look at the schedule, man, I've been looking at this 0:35:16.719 --> 0:35:20.160 schedule for a good good n I try to be 0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:25.640 We'll eat and Q okay, because I've been disappointed too much, 0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:28.120 so much. Man, I've been disappointed so much. Man, Okay, 0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:30.719 I've been disappointed, been disappointed many a time. Hop on 0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:34.359 the train, Hop on the train. I am worried about 0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:37.680 the game this weekend. Okay, why why? Number one? I 0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:39.800 got to find out what what's the weather conditions? What 0:35:39.880 --> 0:35:42.480 are the weather conditions in New England. Remember last time 0:35:42.520 --> 0:35:43.759 they went up there, it was a little whole lot 0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:45.520 of rain. And even saw with Tampa Bay they went 0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:46.840 up that whole lot of rain. We're gonna do a 0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:50.600 whole lot of running. And Bill Belichick makes it hard 0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:54.840 on you. He doesn't make it easy. And you just 0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:57.200 saw what they did to Tampa Bay make it easy. 0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:02.320 So Cowboys now four point favorite on Sunday in Foxborough. 0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:04.520 I expect him to win a game. Patriots have not 0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:06.520 won a home game this year, by the way, Yeah, 0:36:07.120 --> 0:36:09.120 not won a home game this shoot So two and 0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:13.759 three New England Patriots followed by a game in Minnesota 0:36:13.840 --> 0:36:16.480 against Boy I need to put listen, let let's just go. 0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:18.680 Let's go, let's go, let's go one by one. Okay, 0:36:18.719 --> 0:36:22.560 So New England, you're worried. They did push Tampa to 0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:24.759 the limit, but Tampa does not have a running game, 0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:27.600 and I think that we are. We have gotten better 0:36:27.640 --> 0:36:30.759 since we played Tampa. Um, so I'm not really worried. 0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:33.480 Judean is a player. I see like matchup problems we 0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:36.880 may have, but I don't see as a team that 0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:40.399 we have an issue beating New England. Okay. Then after 0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:45.120 that it's another road game NBC Sunday Night Football to 0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:49.319 face the Minnesota Vikings. Bikings are two and three, got 0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:53.000 miracle win yesterday against Detroit the last second, Dalvin Cook 0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:58.200 is battled and leg injury all basically the last three games. 0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:01.800 Minnesota is not what they used to be under Mike Zimmer. 0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:06.600 They're just not. And while these two teams have played 0:37:06.800 --> 0:37:08.600 each other the last couple of seasons, and they've been 0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:11.600 they've been good football games. They've been good football games. 0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:15.920 So um, once again, I see, I see a matchup problem. 0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:18.880 They have some receivers that we're we're going to have 0:37:19.000 --> 0:37:21.120 to figure out how to get all of these guys 0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:25.200 covered talking about Justin Jefferson and Adam Feeland. They are 0:37:25.239 --> 0:37:30.360 still playing well. Um, but defensively, can't match up you got, 0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:32.600 I mean, you just can't match up right now? Just 0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:36.040 looking at this, you say, man, and you're thinking for Minnesota, 0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:39.440 you should have guys back. Yeah, can't match up. We have. 0:37:39.680 --> 0:37:43.160 We have some matchup issues, but we do not have 0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:45.520 team issues when we played those those two teams that 0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:47.839 we just mentioned, losing record, New England two and three, 0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:50.719 Minnesota two and three record right now. Then you get 0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:53.759 at home the Denver Broncos, who are three and two, 0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:58.239 started off three and zero beating cupcakes. Okay, they might 0:37:58.280 --> 0:37:59.920 have a losing record. By time they come to that, 0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:03.680 they have lost two straight. They've lost two straight football games. 0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:09.160 Then you get Dan Quinn's Atlanta Falcons at home. Falcons 0:38:09.200 --> 0:38:12.439 are two and three. They beat the Giants, they beat 0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:14.920 the Jets, so outside of New York they can't find 0:38:14.960 --> 0:38:19.680 a win. So I don't even see match up problems there. 0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:23.120 I have a I have this little feeling the defense 0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:25.320 is not gonna make sure this is a W for 0:38:25.400 --> 0:38:27.800 the coordinator and for the DV coach and for the 0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:29.879 d line coach I just got a real strength. They're 0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:31.759 gonna make sure that that's a dub there. Then you 0:38:31.920 --> 0:38:34.080 go to Kansas City. I'm going to that football game. 0:38:34.160 --> 0:38:35.799 Kansas City is in a last place. There are two 0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:39.320 and three. This is a team that has some identity issues, 0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:44.399 and and that identity is you're just trying to rely 0:38:44.520 --> 0:38:49.640 on Patrick Mahomes to just win everything and you got 0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:52.360 no running game, no defense. Not worried. I don't know 0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:54.520 whether not. It's just people have caught up to but 0:38:54.760 --> 0:38:56.640 look there's they're not who they used to be. So 0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:59.960 then it said Thanksgiving Day game at home against the Raiders. 0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:05.239 Raiders are three and two, winning record. That loss yesterday 0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:11.680 to Justin Fields and the Bears. Good teams, don't let 0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:15.480 that happen. Nine points, nine points. You supposedly have an 0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:20.759 MVP conversation quarterback. They go play Chicago and they score nine. Well, 0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:23.080 that was a turd, that was a turn. So that's 0:39:23.120 --> 0:39:26.640 a Thanksgiving Day game. Then they play on Thursday again. 0:39:27.080 --> 0:39:30.200 This one is a trip down to the Superdome to 0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:33.120 face Jamis and the Saints. Two are three and two 0:39:33.239 --> 0:39:36.320 right now, Then after that becomes a very it's a 0:39:36.480 --> 0:39:41.360 big NFC East stretch to finish the season at Washington 0:39:42.000 --> 0:39:46.319 December twelfth, home I should say, at the Giants, then 0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:49.120 home against Washington. So that's pretty interesting. Get Washington in 0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:52.719 two games in three weeks, then it's that Arizona game, 0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:55.719 and then you end the season against Philadelphia. So right now, 0:39:55.840 --> 0:39:59.520 the Cowboys only have three games against teams currently where 0:39:59.520 --> 0:40:02.080 a winning record. Denver who's three and two, start three 0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:04.080 and lost the last two. They lost the ball Tour, 0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:06.239 they lost yesterday, got sank two or three and two, 0:40:06.360 --> 0:40:12.400 Arizona five. And so you know, if I'm looking at 0:40:12.440 --> 0:40:15.279 the schedule and I'm saying, goodness, you know, if I 0:40:15.520 --> 0:40:18.799 had to be nitpicky and and think of a team 0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:23.640 that may give us a real problem besides Arizona, I mean, 0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:26.640 just because Kansas City is Kansas City, that that will 0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:29.360 probably be the only one where I say, if we 0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:31.960 come out and play our best game, it's going to 0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:34.440 be a really really good game. If they come out 0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:37.680 with their best, with their best effort, any of these 0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:40.560 other teams on there, our best effort versus their best effort, 0:40:41.440 --> 0:40:44.640 we get to win. And I think that's automatic. Now, yeah, 0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:46.960 of course it's you know, it doesn't always work that way. 0:40:47.000 --> 0:40:49.400 And sometimes you come out and the offense might not 0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:52.120 be playing well, defense might not be playing well. But 0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:54.920 if we come and we show up with that Amari 0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:57.479 Cooper attitude, taking care of the little things, that getting 0:40:57.480 --> 0:41:01.320 better each and every week, I'm not really worried about 0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:03.719 any of these games. I think the Arizona game will 0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:06.320 be a really really good game, two really good offenses, 0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:09.719 but I think our defense is better. Break down and 0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:13.320 look into the Chiefs two and three record that first 0:41:13.400 --> 0:41:17.320 game of the year's thirty three twenty nine come back victory, 0:41:17.520 --> 0:41:20.160 a game the Cleveland should not have lost. And you 0:41:20.239 --> 0:41:21.600 just look at that, and you go back there and 0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:24.360 you just go you go into that is the Chiefs 0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:25.920 won it. But I look at that even more so. 0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:28.560 The Browns lost absolutely. Yeah, the big lead there, you 0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:32.600 couldn't close the show. They lose to Baltimore on a 0:41:32.640 --> 0:41:36.280 Sunday night, thirty six, thirty five. They lose at home 0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:40.480 to the Chargers thirty to twenty four. They go to 0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:44.839 Philadelphia and they beat Philly forty two to thirty. Listen 0:41:44.880 --> 0:41:47.560 to how many points they've given up. Third game. You 0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:51.239 ain't saying twenty nothing yet unless they scored twenty they're 0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:54.399 not stopping anyone, and what you do listening when you're 0:41:54.400 --> 0:41:57.040 playing against us, if you not want to worry, if 0:41:57.080 --> 0:41:59.359 you can't stop us from scoring and you can't win 0:41:59.520 --> 0:42:00.920 the game. I think I've only been a part of 0:42:01.000 --> 0:42:03.640 one game where it was like we can't stop scoring 0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:06.080 and we lost, and that was when Peyton Manning was 0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:09.320 with Denver and they came here and it was just 0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:11.239 back and forth. Right. The only way we stopped them 0:42:11.280 --> 0:42:13.200 was interceptions, and that's the only way that they stopped us, 0:42:13.360 --> 0:42:15.360 and it was whoever had the ball last was winning 0:42:15.360 --> 0:42:17.520 again the interception in triple coverage. Yeah, yeah, then the 0:42:17.560 --> 0:42:19.080 sheriff against the ball just runs out of the clock, 0:42:19.160 --> 0:42:21.040 keep the field goal. And yes, yes, So when you 0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:24.120 want to look at points, the Cleveland offense scored twenty nine, 0:42:25.000 --> 0:42:28.280 then the Baltimore offense scored thirty six, the Chargers offend 0:42:28.320 --> 0:42:32.399 scored thirty, Philadelphia's offense scored thirty, and then Buffalo last 0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:34.759 night ran had thirty points where there was a pick 0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:38.919 six in there. So, look, there's problems in Kansas City. 0:42:39.200 --> 0:42:40.799 And so the game that you looked at to start 0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:42.480 the season, you thought, ah, you know what, man, it's 0:42:42.480 --> 0:42:44.880 gonna be Okay, you know it's a loss that no, 0:42:45.040 --> 0:42:47.440 do not chalk that up to as a loss at all. 0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:50.480 In this football game. Cleveland had a twenty two to 0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:56.120 ten lead in that football game in the at halftime, 0:42:56.160 --> 0:43:00.520 twenty two to ten, and then they just uh fell asleep. Yeah, well, 0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:03.080 you you know you can't. You're up twenty nine twenty 0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:05.080 in the fourth quarter with ten minutes to go, and 0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:06.840 then you allow them to score two touchdown. PA's a 0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:09.600 seventy five yard to Tyree killed and then a you know, 0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:13.040 ended up with a a eight yard pass um you know, 0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:15.799 three play eight, you know, three play drive fifteen yards, 0:43:15.880 --> 0:43:17.359 which means there's there had to be a turn over 0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:20.239 and there's somebody turnover there somewhere. So you can't make 0:43:20.280 --> 0:43:23.520 those kinds of things. Chill fumble, chill fumble. So they're 0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:25.279 trying to run out the clock and he fumbles the ball. 0:43:25.560 --> 0:43:28.480 Um yea they gave it away. Yeah yeah, these are 0:43:28.480 --> 0:43:31.080 the kind of and look yesterday one more time for 0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:33.520 the Browns. I mean, okay, you know you're getting a 0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:35.160 shootout like that. You got too great team to get 0:43:35.200 --> 0:43:37.799 a shoot out with the Charger. So personally, I think 0:43:37.840 --> 0:43:40.600 they got a quarterback issue. I think Baker Mayfield is 0:43:40.640 --> 0:43:44.520 a good quarterback, not a franchise and you have a 0:43:44.600 --> 0:43:47.360 decision to make. Are you gonna write that check or 0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:51.600 are you gonna go look for something better? You know, 0:43:52.160 --> 0:43:54.759 it depends on what's available. Because there's a guy who 0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:56.879 says he wants to get out of his contract next year, 0:43:57.000 --> 0:44:00.160 and that's my man, a rod Um. Look at the 0:44:00.200 --> 0:44:03.080 team around Baker Mayfield, look at the defense they have. 0:44:03.920 --> 0:44:07.560 You add a guy like Aaron Rodgers to your team, 0:44:08.400 --> 0:44:14.000 your automatic Super Bowl contender? Easy? So yeah, I mean 0:44:14.680 --> 0:44:17.719 what check? Am I right? Somebody called him as if 0:44:17.960 --> 0:44:20.560 he wants to come to Cleveland, if that is an option. 0:44:20.960 --> 0:44:27.480 The pitch I make to Aaron Rodgers is, hey call Lebron, 0:44:28.480 --> 0:44:32.440 ask him how it felt to win and how he 0:44:32.560 --> 0:44:36.480 was celebrated. That's for basketball. That's not a basketball town. 0:44:37.200 --> 0:44:41.279 They love basketball because Lebron, But Danny, when I worked there, 0:44:41.360 --> 0:44:42.920 they were a playoff team and they weren't telling out 0:44:42.920 --> 0:44:45.000 playoff games. In fact, they played the Knicks in the 0:44:45.040 --> 0:44:48.200 playoff game one year and the Cleveland Indians baseball team 0:44:48.239 --> 0:44:51.240 was playing across. This is April, so it's a regular 0:44:51.280 --> 0:44:53.760 She's a baseball game versus the NBA playoff game baseball 0:44:53.800 --> 0:44:56.319 game sold out. Well. Lebrons at the game the other day, 0:44:56.320 --> 0:45:03.920 they asked, Aaron, you come here. You're celebrated, Zach, even 0:45:03.960 --> 0:45:06.400 though you are a Packer forever, they will celebrate you 0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:08.840 as a Cleveland Brown who came here and did that 0:45:08.960 --> 0:45:11.040 thing that gave him their first championships in nine and six. 0:45:11.520 --> 0:45:12.600 Let me tell you what you don't have to do, 0:45:12.640 --> 0:45:15.360 all right, You don't have to tell Lebron anything. Lebron 0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:18.080 is already ready to call Aaron. As a matter of fact, 0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:20.759 they probably already send a messages back and forth. Hey man, 0:45:20.800 --> 0:45:22.880 it'd be real good if you came down to Cleveland, 0:45:23.000 --> 0:45:25.000 you know, show to show the city from love. All right, 0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:29.000 they will remember you forever. You will be legendary. Now. 0:45:29.040 --> 0:45:32.120 I couched that with someone else who covers a league, 0:45:32.120 --> 0:45:34.640 who said, I think he goes to Denver and that 0:45:34.800 --> 0:45:37.359 John Elway will be able to go ahead and let him. 0:45:37.440 --> 0:45:38.680 You know, Hey, hey, look man, this is what you 0:45:38.760 --> 0:45:40.880 want to do. And I said, you're right. They do. 0:45:40.960 --> 0:45:42.719 You know how to win super bowls? There They've won 0:45:42.760 --> 0:45:45.799 two super Bowls with different quarterbacks, then three super Bowls 0:45:45.840 --> 0:45:52.399 with different quarterbacks through the through the years. But if 0:45:52.480 --> 0:45:56.120 you win in Denver, you're just another great quarterback, Hall 0:45:56.120 --> 0:45:57.880 of Fame quarterback. Hey, you did what Peyton Manning did. 0:45:57.920 --> 0:46:02.200 You did what John Elway did to Cleveland man And 0:46:02.360 --> 0:46:05.360 I can attest to this from working. It's a different atmosphere. 0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:09.880 He'll be loved in Denver. They may name babies after you. 0:46:11.320 --> 0:46:14.719 I mean, that's just it's just a different level of 0:46:15.440 --> 0:46:18.640 when in Denver's great. Now. Okay, so on the all 0:46:18.719 --> 0:46:21.400 time great fan base is there and they're great, But 0:46:21.520 --> 0:46:25.080 I'm just telling you it's even better there because they 0:46:25.280 --> 0:46:29.000 haven't won. Denver knows your kids have seen a championship. 0:46:29.200 --> 0:46:31.080 Anybody kids in Cleveland ain't. You ain't got a child 0:46:31.120 --> 0:46:33.000 and seen a championship in nineteen sixty four. Your kids 0:46:33.000 --> 0:46:35.440 ain't seen one. Okay, just stay on over there anyway, 0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:37.560 you're already on that side. Just going just stay over Thever, 0:46:37.640 --> 0:46:39.880 you know, Hey, man, I'll just tell them that you 0:46:40.440 --> 0:46:43.279 just one year, just give us one. Just sell out 0:46:43.400 --> 0:46:45.719 like the like the Rams do. We're gonna we're gonna 0:46:46.000 --> 0:46:49.359 leverage everything for now. We gonna give away all our 0:46:49.680 --> 0:46:52.440 number one draft picks whatever, it don't matter erin. We 0:46:52.600 --> 0:46:54.600 just want you for this year.

Progressive go ahead to pool at home or 0:47:09.800 --> 0:47:15.120 Bacca Mayfield. You know what, Baker Man, I hope you played. 0:47:16.920 --> 0:47:18.759 I want you to make your money.
