Um, you 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.760 know hey, I was shouting out to my boy man. 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.600 He had a heck of a game. Heck of a game. 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.120 I'm extremely impressed to how he played that game, and 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.920 I'm sure we'll dive into it a lot tomorrow when 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.360 he returns. But man, it was a heck of a game. 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.919 I'm proud of my boy out there. I've never watched 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:20.120 the show's survivor. So the first forty seasons never checked out. 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.800 I was there for you, and I could see why 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.040 people enjoy it. Did become addictive to watch you were 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.160 you did find yourself rooting for personalities. And I did 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.400 not think Danny was going home. I thought it would 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:40.759 be Deshaun who got got but thus that is the game. 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:45.200 But Danny, Danny left, and he left in a good position. Man. 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.840 You know, I don't think anybody had any hatred or 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.800 malice toward Danny. I played a good game, man, so 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.640 I will dive into it tomorrow. And um, you know, 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.040 good on him to live out one of his reality dreams. 0:01:58.080 --> 0:01:59.559 I mean to be able to be on that show 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.840 and go competing and go as far as he did 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.000 and last as long as he did and represent himself. Man, 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.600 I'm happy for him while they love man, that's good 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.480 stuff without a doubt. And real quick, real quick. One. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.239 They made a mistake not getting rid of a card 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.400 last week. That man's gonna mess around and win the 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.440 whole thing because can't nobody beat him in the immunity. 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.720 So that's one. What the happento this tomorrow. But two, man, 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.680 my boy hit him with the gold cowboys in a wink. 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.560 I said, all, man, what don't be throwing it out here? Man? 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.000 What's going on? But I loved it. You gotta love it. 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.440 You gotta love it because you know he's putting all, 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.400 he's putting all for the boys out there, man. And 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.880 just the way they edited, how they set it up, man, 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.680 it was a It was a good salute, like let's 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.760 see y'all later, man. So I'm gonna definitely give him 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.080 a little bit for that tomorrow. But like you said, man, 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.840 the guy played the heck of a game. Couldn't be 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.480 more proud of the boy. I tweeted it out there, man, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.400 I loved it. I loved it because somebody on Twitter's like, 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.040 this is the worst part. This is the worst part 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.799 I've ever survived. I was like, I loved it. Some 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.959 cowboy hater. It was some cowboy hater up there. And 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:00.560 somebody else was like, well, I prefer to think of 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.040 him as a Chicago bear, and like, okay, okay, yeah, 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.760 here we go. But good stuff there. Hey, how about 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:12.000 Mike McCarthy today making a little news on social media 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.639 and people running up the headlines of what he said. Now, 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.200 I'm kind of gonna let you hear what Mike McCarthy 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.919 said about going up to Washington this week for the 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:25.799 Cowboys and whether or not in your mind this is 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.760 bullets and boardmantier Chris being played the cut from Mike 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.840 McCarthy's from today's press conference with the with the Dallas 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.280 Fort Worth Media. We know what people think of us. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.040 We love that. We're comfortable who we are where we are. 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.520 But I'm excited about what's in front of us because 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.400 you know, we you know, we're gonna win this game. 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.280 I'm confident in that and just you know, the prep 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.600 that's going into it. But more importantly, we're gonna you know, 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.080 we want to improve too along the way. So I 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.280 think that's all part about what the challenge of December 0:03:54.280 --> 0:04:07.640 of football give you. All Right, I couldn't really hear 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.000 it very well, Chris, but Mike McCarthy and I just 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.040 wrote down some of what he says. We're going to 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.520 Washington to win. We are going to win this game. 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.520 I'm confident in that. That's the major portion of what 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.440 people are talking about on social media. And when Mike 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:24.080 says it and you hear it, it's not Jimmy Johnson's 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.680 proclamation we will win the ball game. Put it in 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.560 three inch bold letters, like he said Randy Galloway back 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.920 in the nineties. But here's Mike McCarthy saying, we're going 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:33.560 here to win, and we're gonna win this football game. 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.880 That's what we're gonna go do. I had no issues 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.600 with it. Church. You played this football, You played the 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.200 game of football. You're safety in the league for the 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.360 Cowboys and the Jaguars. Tell me how you took it. 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.600 If I'm if I'm a Cowboys player, like if I'm 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.720 one of those guys in a locker room going to practice, 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.960 teaching every day, put my heart on a line for 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.279 the team, I'm loving it. I'm loving it like if 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.120 I'm a Boys player, I'm loving it because you love 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.280 to hear. As a player, you love to hear your 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.200 coach have that much confidence in you guys. When he 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.000 goes out there and says, you know what, we're gonna 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.040 go win this game. We're going up there to play 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.960 the game, and we're gonna win the game, it means 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.600 that he has confidence in all three levels of the game. 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.640 He feels like his team is better, whether it's talent wise, 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.600 coaching wise, execution wise, whatever the case may be, he 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.640 feels confident enough to say, you know what, We're gonna 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.159 go up there and win the game, because it can backfire. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.000 It can backfire immensely if they go up there and 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.120 get beat down or even lose a close game, it 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.960 could backfire a lot. So if I'm a player for 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.000 the Dallas Cowboys, I'm like, all right, I gotta make 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:32.840 my coach right now. That means I gotta lick in, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:34.360 I gotta go up there, and I gotta put my 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.960 a game on because if we lose, not only does 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.440 it embarrass us as players, but it embarrasses our coach 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.560 as well. And he put all this confidence in into 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.440 us thinking we can go up there and get the 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.840 dub and basically seal up the division. So if I'm 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:49.040 a Cowboys player, I love it. If I'm Washington, if 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.839 I'm a part of that football team over there, I'm 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.240 using this as bill board material. This to me is 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.440 like one of them Nick Sirianni beat Dallas Cowboys shirts 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.720 he had on earlier in the season. I'm using that 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.359 as billboard material. I'm saying, look, this coach is coming 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.960 up here into your house thinking that y'all don't even 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.320 stand a chance. Today is what. Today's Thursday. So the 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.239 game is about three four days away, and he's already 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.200 saying that they gonna whoop on y'all, no matter what 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.920 y'all got going on, no matter how many wins y'all 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.360 una had these past couple of games, he don't care 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.520 nothing about that. He don't care nothing about the momentum 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.560 y'all got, or how good y'all playing as a team. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.800 He says, no matter what y'all do, come Sunday, y'all 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.160 gonna take this l So if I'm running with fair, 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.600 that's what I'm preaching to these players. I'm saying, look, man, 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.640 these cowboys, they say they running division. They've been winning 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.839 games all season. Now you got the coach up there 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.080 talking about they're gonna go up there and win the game. 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.360 They here. If I'm wrong with the I'm like, man, 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.039 look you were the five they had to win street 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.320 going on, Like they didn't just lose two or five 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.200 games or two out of well, they won two out 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.160 of seven games. He's past couple, they ask a couple 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:50.680 of games. So if I'm wrong, I'm using it as 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.720 billboard material. But if I'm a Cowboys player. I'm loving it. 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.480 I just gotta know my coach, Hey, I gotta have 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.560 you back because if you lose, it's gonna make us 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.280 both look foolish. All right, So is this a situation 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.120 in your mind where Mike McCarthy puts added pressure on 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.120 the players and saying, hey, look, we're gonna win this game. 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:09.880 I'm putting it on you to win this game. I 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.600 know we're gonna win this game. You're gonna have the 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.440 game player to go out here, to execute, to go 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.440 win in Washington. I think part of that's what Mike 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.760 McCarthy is doing here, and I like that. Put it 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.080 on these games, go win this game. I'm with you 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:23.560 on that. I like it too. Like I said, if 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.840 I was a Boys player, I like it. But there 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.960 definitely is added pressure. There's definitely added pressure when you 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.720 go into a rival situation. You go to a divisional opponent, 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.880 you know they know you like the back of their hands. 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.120 They play you twice a year home and away, like 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.080 just like you play them twice a year home and away. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.880 So they know all your tendencies, your strengths, your weaknesses. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.800 These are teams that know you better than any other team. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.160 In the National Football League. So to go up there 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.800 Thursday afternoon and say we're gonna win come Sunday already. 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.680 I mean that puts a lot of pressure on that 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.600 staff to make sure they got a game plan that 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.640 they know they can go out there and succeed in. 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.280 And then it puts a lot of pressure on your 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.120 players going out there knowing they got to dominate this team. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.240 They gotta go out there with their a game, knowing 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.600 that their coach put that much faith in them they 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.600 put he put it out there in the media already, 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.320 So to me, you gotta come with it because if 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.440 you don't, it could backfire immensely, And it's a lot 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.480 of pressure on you to get this dub now that 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.240 your coach opened his mouth and said what he had 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.160 to say. But circle back to the beginning. If I'm 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.040 a player, I love it because I know my coach 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.840 has confidence in me and he's not shying away from anythings. 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.000 So I love it going up there. And I still 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.520 got the Cowboys winning regardless, So I don't see it's 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.680 a bad play by coach McCarthy at all. Let's really 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.839 concentrate zero in on the next three football games for 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.160 the Cowboys, because in a whole lot of ways, these 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.720 next three games can you can pretty much wrap up 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.720 this division because they've got a two game lead. You're 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.959 at Washington and then after that you come home to 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.480 Jerry World to face the Giants, and then the day 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:56.360 after Christmas on NBC it is it's Washington and Dallas 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.719 at one more time. So you're gonna face him two 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.520 out of the next three weeks. Man, you get you 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.920 get game, you get this game, you get the Giants game. 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.640 You're really give the driver's seat to go ahead and 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.839 wrap this thing up. So I like the fact that 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.760 he put pressure on him to say, look, let's just 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:12.679 go out of the gate and knock these dudes out 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.920 of the box. Okay, let's just end this thing. Let's 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:16.959 end this thing. Go ahead, let him know where the 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.199 Kings of the East go. Handle your business up there. 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.920 Vanda Scott up as a five point favorite. So I 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:24.800 like that part of it. And I'm gonna flip this 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.960 other side of this, Barry, you and Danny have been 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.240 talking about the run game and one Kelly Moore to 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.960 Colemore runs there is an issue with the run game. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:38.000 Tony Pollard has he sprained his foot on that fifty 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.599 eight yard touchdown against New Arden. So he's hoping to 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.439 play on Sunday. I was working out with Brown a 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.160 little bit before practice. It was open to the media session, 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.599 and then Zeke Elliott was on the bike and for 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.400 a bit before he went over there, and Zeke says, 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.120 he's going to play in the football game. But you 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.679 have two running backs now who have injuries that they're 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.959 dealing with a knee injury for Zeke, sprained foot issu 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.920 for Tony poll thought that that that makes me nervous 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.760 that I'm not gonna lie to you newly that that 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.839 scares me just a little bit because we know Tony 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.600 Pollard as a back. He's a one cut, electric juice 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.719 like he just brings that that speed, that that just 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.040 violence to the game. Where he's taking off, he's either 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:21.839 if he's not hitting the hole, he's bouncing outside and 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.439 taking off. So I'm not quite sure how bad that 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.439 foot is sprained, but it's got to be able to 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.880 affect his game. It has to because he's a speedback. 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.319 He relies on his speed. It's not like he's you know, 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.720 the bus or Zeke out here where it's just three 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.840 yards in a cloud of dust and he's just grinding 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.319 and grinding, and tell maybe he pops one. This is 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.160 a guy who is a home run threat when he 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.800 touches the ball at any given moment, and that's the 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.240 strength of his game. That's what makes defensive coordinators worry 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.600 about when he touches the ball. And if that's if 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.199 that in any way is compromised by his foot injury, 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:54.640 I think it slows him down and I think it 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.560 slows his effectiveness. Now to me, if Zeke was healthy 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.360 at black I oh, well, you know all, you know, 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.040 take the week off. You know, we get Clement to 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:03.439 come in here and do a couple of third down 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.800 package situations. But then Zeke is injured as well. And 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:08.960 we all saw a last we get gets the Saints. 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:10.599 How bad he looks. I mean, he looked like he 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.960 was limping out there. He was dragging a go ahead, 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.000 go ahead. No, it was, it was, it was, it was. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.079 It was troubling to watch. Man. This is just not 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.360 the player that you've come to expect when you're watching 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.640 Cowboys football. Last ye Zekie, it just know what, it 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.480 wasn't the twenty one we're used to. You're not It wasn't. 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.120 It wasn't the twenty one you're used to it. He 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.599 wasn't grinding people down. And for the first time, I 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.000 think I mentioned this earlier the week, but it was 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:33.800 the first time we saw him just run out of bounce. 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:35.680 There was no like, all right, gonna put my foot 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.240 in the ground, I'm gonna put some punishment on these 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.360 people before I go down. It was like, you know what, 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.480 I'm out, I'm tapping out. I'm going straight out of bound. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.199 So and to me, you you know already how I 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.240 feel about this run game, you know. I feel like 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.600 that's when we're at our best, when we're at our peak, 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.440 when we got a balance attack, running pass, and if 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.679 we're out there stagnant in the run game and we 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.240 got to rely strictly on the pass, or we're one dimensional. 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.600 I think that's why we've been struggling a little bit 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.440 offensively these past couple games. And I don't want Washington 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.199 to go ahead and take advantage of it, because even 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.520 though they don't have chase you, even though they don't 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.360 have a sweat who's in the COVID protocol, this team 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.800 can still get after the passer. I mean, they're loaded 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.439 with first round draft picks on the defensive line, and 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.960 if you're telling them that they are run game is compromised. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.160 We're not able to move the football running the ball. 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.240 Then they get depend their ears back and get after 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.599 Dak Prescott. And we've seen this offensive line shows some 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.880 chicks in its armor. So it makes me a little 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.520 bit nervous. I still have the Cowboys getting this victory 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.800 because they do have an awesome trio of receivers on 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.920 the outside, but overall not having a great run game 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.560 with two injured backs, that makes me a little bit nervous. 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.800 So you're saying that the receivers need to run the 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.600 round to be where they game the way to own. Yeah, 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.480 I'm with Jerry on that. Boy. They need to get 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.920 their route run and get some separation and get that 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.840 Prescott an opportunity to throw the ball in there. Child 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.480 have been in the receiving room after that stuff came 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.400 out later on that Like what you say, NEWI as 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.760 a coach, Like if you're there the coach, I'm forget 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.520 his name right now, but Adam Jones, Yeah, Adam Jones, 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.600 and you're in the meeting room. You know these receivers 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.800 have heard this. You know, they've heard what's going on 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.760 around the Metroplex Jerry Jones show, and he's talking about 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.120 the receivers. What do you tell them? Like, what do 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.640 you tell the receivers at that point? Um, how many 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.000 of you all free agent? If you're a free agent, 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.839 raise your hand, and there's a whole lot of room 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.480 that a whole lot of hands going up that room. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.160 If you got No. One guarantees under contract, raise your 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.840 hand and Martin Cooper hand go up here. So there's 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.679 some guys in that room. You may not have liked 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.079 what the owner said, but he's writing the checks and 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.040 he's gonna be turning the faith of some of these 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.319 guys because number four is not going anywhere. Okay, we know. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.480 So when he spoke, it's it's truly one of those 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.800 where you have to listen to what Jerry Jones says, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.640 and the fact that he doesn't say it very often 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:55.400 I think means something. I literally would just be okay, Okay, 0:13:55.840 --> 0:14:00.599 he's saying something, and you have every opportunity now to 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.000 go out here and show what you can do. If 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.800 you don't like it, you've got five football games to 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.320 go out here and change the narrative and show Jerry 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.280 do you think he's wrong. That's the beauty of this man. 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:16.000 That is an absolute beauty of Sunday one pm in 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.800 Landover Maryland at FedExField. These guys can change whatever narrative 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:25.240 Jerry Jones has thought about them. I agree, And and Nui, 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.720 I'm I'm gonna ask you this question. Do you think 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.800 it's it's I mean, I know it's not all on 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.760 the receivers, but do you think the majority of it 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:33.960 is on the receivers? I mean, we've seen cde Lamb 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.400 out here. He's been playing fantastic Amari Cooper when he's healthy, 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.760 he's been actually been able to be a little bit 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.200 productive there. And then we saw Gallant come back from 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.000 his injury and do a couple of things here and there. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.680 Do you think it's the majority of the receivers or 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.840 would you give it a fifty fifty balance with Dak 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:53.680 right there? Man, I just think so many this these 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.440 past few games. You know, you're talking about the loss 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.280 to go back to Denver. Okay, those basically the losses 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.640 to these AFC West teams. You're starting looking at those, 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.960 and there was a lot of perfect storm there of 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:08.040 you know, Denver wanting it more, playing better, Kansas City 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.760 understanding what to do, having the win to go their way, 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.040 where Dad could hit gallop on that first on that 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.040 first shot down the field, which you should have gone 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.400 a long way. I mean this in the injuries and 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.080 then the covids and coaches being missed, there's just a 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.240 lot of stuff over these past four or five football 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.600 games and just look, man just wasn't good. So you 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.480 can point to the receivers and say, Okay, you're a 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:28.960 part of this issue. But you can point to the 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.720 offensive line and say you're a part of this issue. 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:32.400 You can point to Dak Prescott and say you're a 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.840 part of this issue. Is all along the way during 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.680 these these tough games, and even a win against New 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.040 Orleans which wasn't one hundred percent Chris, you can look 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:41.800 at guys and just say, I don't know about this. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.840 I don't know about that. So I just think it's 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.600 it's a bit much to just put it all on 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.080 the receivers. But I go back into the question that 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.200 was asked by Sean and RJ on one to fight 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.800 through the fan too, Jerry, when they were asking if 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.640 something's wrong with Dak because Dak Prescott's last three football Again, 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.000 she said, since Dak's come back from the cap injury, 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.000 he's not looked as good as he did before him. 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.840 That's a fact, and so and Jerry trying to answer 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.720 the question, he basically put it on his receivers and 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.520 didn't put it on the quarterback. And I don't know 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:15.880 if that's necessarily one hundred percent fair because we all 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.200 have eyes and we can all see Dak Prescott has 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.640 not been the same quarterback since he came up the 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.360 cap injury. And there's nothing wrong. There's you know, there's 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.920 nothing wrong with saying it. There's nothing wrong with saying, 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.640 you know what man's on that left that he had repaired, 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.400 and you know, we're still at times trying to figure 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.440 out where where is he at now. Dak is gonna 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.120 be like you and a lot of these other guys 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.080 who've played for the Cowboys. You're not trying to tell 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.920 everybody what's going on. You're gonna tell everybody you're all good, 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.960 you're ready to go. But just because you tell it, 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.000 I've learned in these presc cofference it's just because you 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:51.080 say it doesn't make it so. I agree with you 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.400 on that one. I mean, he said he was fine. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.640 That that doesn't make it. So that's just what he said. 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.720 And in the premise of well, you're trying to take 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.040 guy sit that word. Uh, this is a gladiator sport. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.919 Gladiators don't come out here. And before I fight, let 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:08.960 me listen down these ten injuries I got right here. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.439 Just let you know. Okay, so something happens, you can 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.120 point to one of these ten things in the wrong 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.119 with me, and I mean, that's just that's just not 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.800 what guys do. That's not what guys do. And unfortunately, 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:26.320 many times fans believe exactly what they here. Oh Mary 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.960 Cooper said he's fine, he's good to go. He's not 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:30.680 really good to go. And you don't know that he's 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:32.520 taking a shot over here and you don't know what 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.160 the effects are from COVID and and guys aren't gonna 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.080 come out. Actually, hey man, I've been weeezing and coughing 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.399 all week long. Case smell whole much. I went out here, man, 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.960 three plays out with gas. You know you're just having 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.680 to see that, yeah, or or you're not gonna see 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.320 many guys do it. Luca dot admitted this week when 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.760 he said, yeah, shit, you know you gotta be beat 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.720 at oh Luca, that can of camp away over two 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.719 sixties so and you can see it, so you can 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.560 see it all in his face and neck. I'm like, looka, 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.280 what are you doing baby? What you're doing? Right? But 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.080 for him to even just come on out and just 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:08.120 admit it, you know, like, okay, that's that's rare. That's right. 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.920 So James Harden didn't do it, No he did not, No, 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.760 he didn't. Hey man, I'll try to get out of town. 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.920 So I decided to go ahead, making a Chrispy Kreen 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:21.320 type two weeks for itself. But that's what he did. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.480 That's what he Yeah, exactly what he did. So so 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.840 you're not going to see Dan Prescott come out here 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.040 and saying, hey man, you know what this has hurt 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.400 me now, that is it's preventing me for that. You're 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.399
