Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the player's level,
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 1: Now your hosts, Barry Church, Danny McCrae, and Newey Scrugs.
Speaker 1: It is Monday, and we are Monday morning because the
Speaker 1: Cowboys took the l a large l to a team
Speaker 1: that is not a good team. The Washington Football Club
Speaker 1: takes down the Cowboys twenty five to three. I'm new Scrugs,
Speaker 1: longtime Cowboys afore and joined by Barry Church and our
Speaker 1: friend Danny McCrae. They're both former Dallas Cowboys players. All right, fellas,
Speaker 1: let's hot right to it. I'm just gonna give you
Speaker 1: the floor. McCray your thoughts on what happened? Listen. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't really have many words for it except man,
Speaker 1: was I wrong? I was right about thinking that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna lose. But I thought that if the
Speaker 1: game playing focused on twenty one and you got nineteen
Speaker 1: the ball, that we somehow had a chance to win.
Speaker 1: And that was not the case. I said at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the game. While they are really featuring Zeke
Speaker 1: and they're featuring nineteen and the Running Game and it
Speaker 1: didn't work. You know, I was surprised to see how
Speaker 1: many carries Tony Polya got. It felt like they were
Speaker 1: kind of split and carry. So I'm a little worried
Speaker 1: for Zeke. But we will get about that, getting into
Speaker 1: that later in the show. But yeah, that's all I
Speaker 1: got to say. Man, I'm not surprised we lost. And
Speaker 1: the showing that we put out there, that's what we've
Speaker 1: been seeing all season. Is it my turn yet? Man?
Speaker 1: I mean where do I begin? Man? I mean, my heart,
Speaker 1: my heart let me down once again, and I just
Speaker 1: don't even know where to go right here. I mean,
Speaker 1: like you said, we tried to get nineteen the ball
Speaker 1: and we got twenty one the ball, which I was
Speaker 1: saying all last week. Now, if we just feature him,
Speaker 1: if we feature him, we'll give this offense a chance.
Speaker 1: But it seems like unless you're Barry Sanders back there,
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna get yards behind this offensive line. So
Speaker 1: I just I don't know where to turn. Two. I mean,
Speaker 1: they made that Washington secondary, the three, the three, one
Speaker 1: of the We got three of the top ten receivers
Speaker 1: in the game, I think, and we made that Washington
Speaker 1: secondary look like the Legion of Boom. I mean, we
Speaker 1: couldn't get no separation. Gallop held catchless, CD Lamb held catchless.
Speaker 1: I mean they were flipping the receivers all over the place.
Speaker 1: I mean it was a travesty out there. And that's
Speaker 1: not and that's not even starting on the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball. I mean, we made a team with
Speaker 1: the work. They haven't scored three touchdowns all season, and
Speaker 1: they went out there and got two points in the
Speaker 1: first half, and they made they made Gibson out there
Speaker 1: look like Booby Miles from the you know, from Friday
Speaker 1: Night Lights. I mean, he was doing everybody dirty out there.
Speaker 1: He was running through tackles, stiff arming guys left and right.
Speaker 1: I mean you thought he was ap in his in
Speaker 1: his prime. I mean it was ridiculous out there. Logan Thomas.
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas is a former quarterback at Virginia Tech who
Speaker 1: probably ran a four nine at the fastest nobody could
Speaker 1: have with him. No, he was catching over Anthony Brown,
Speaker 1: he was catching over Jalen Smith. He caught a pass,
Speaker 1: it twinkled toed into the end zone. This is a
Speaker 1: guy that played quarterback and he's out here looking like
Speaker 1: the next coming to Jason Witten. I mean too many
Speaker 1: times we've heard this year on the broadcast, guy said, man,
Speaker 1: he's having a career year, or he's having a career game,
Speaker 1: I mean season high. He's doing whatever he wants there.
Speaker 1: It's it's ridiculous and it's just a part of the
Speaker 1: broadcast now. I mean, you just you just pick him
Speaker 1: who's gonna have a career day. If you're going against
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defensive fan to see my boy. Lachraiz said
Speaker 1: this yesterday in the text chain. Play whoever you can play,
Speaker 1: every tight end, play every running back, play every receiver,
Speaker 1: whatever you can against this Dallas defense, you're guaranteed at
Speaker 1: least double digit points. It was a it was a
Speaker 1: bad showing. And we've seen this defense. We've seen this
Speaker 1: team get trounced early. But for me, it just just
Speaker 1: looked ten times worse because it was against one of
Speaker 1: the worst offenses in the NFL, and once again we
Speaker 1: made this team look like it was the next coming
Speaker 1: of you know, the Saint Louis Rams back in ninety nine.
Speaker 1: So for me, I don't know where to start, but
Speaker 1: this was tough. This was a tough kill to swap'
Speaker 1: don't don't forget about how uninspired they looked, all right,
Speaker 1: you know because eighty eight was out there dropping passes,
Speaker 1: Zeke getting hit on the back shoulder by Andy Doland
Speaker 1: for interceptions. You know, we're still getting ram bound defense
Speaker 1: by McClaren and the speaster on the team that everybody
Speaker 1: knows it's gonna go deep get ran straight by. You know,
Speaker 1: it's just uninspired. It's not Oh, you had to talk
Speaker 1: trash the game the play before and the next day
Speaker 1: he got ran smoothed by after stumbling and bumbling while
Speaker 1: the guys running in the end zone. This is this
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. Man who who the anonymous was absolutely correct,
Speaker 1: by the way, even though he probably shouldn't have been.
Speaker 1: They were absolutely correct. This Anonymous over there, whoever, whoever
Speaker 1: during the previour doing the post game was just you know,
Speaker 1: had a good you know, hey, what's going on? Guys?
Speaker 1: Whoever that guy was, that's Anonymous. That's the guy that
Speaker 1: letting everything out because he was he was dead on
Speaker 1: with this one. He was dead on two. It was
Speaker 1: it was two of them, now I remember it was
Speaker 1: two Anonymous sources. It was two sources. Yes, they hit
Speaker 1: on the church. To back up what you said, I
Speaker 1: started Terry mclaughen and my fantasy team as today, So yeah,
Speaker 1: you had a good day. Had a good day with
Speaker 1: Gibson Bastad and he had Booby miles back there. So
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to spend just let him.
Speaker 1: It was not but listen, but listen. Unfortunately I started Zeke.
Speaker 1: He gave me six. So I mean, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: looking to trade all my Cowboys play us. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: I picked Christian Kirk up the week before did well,
Speaker 1: and I'm literally shopping the wire this week to see
Speaker 1: what Eagles I can can I think I can get
Speaker 1: greg Ward Junior, so I'll probably pick up greg Ward Junior,
Speaker 1: and then after that I've got James Carter and I
Speaker 1: probably pick up Eric Ebron as well. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: and you see the Cowboys on the schedule, you need
Speaker 1: to pick up you know, those guys because we are
Speaker 1: seeing Look, I mean, let's just be honest here. Okay,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are dead lasting points allowed. They allowed thirty
Speaker 1: four point seven a game, So they're giving up thirty
Speaker 1: four point seven a game. You would be very wise
Speaker 1: if you're playing fantasy football or that daily Fantasy football,
Speaker 1: to figure out who the Cowboys are playing and go
Speaker 1: get some of that action. And then when it comes
Speaker 1: against the run, the Cowboys are last in the NFL.
Speaker 1: They give up one hundred and seventy eight point three
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. Do you know how they're teams
Speaker 1: that don't do that in college? Okay, I mean one
Speaker 1: seventy eight and what did they give up yesterday? Two
Speaker 1: hundred and three yards? Man, all running backs, all running backs,
Speaker 1: everybody that was in the game. Because you texted me
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game and thought it was
Speaker 1: gonna be the Payton Barber Show. He was like, he
Speaker 1: running too good for them to take them out. And
Speaker 1: then Gibson came with a forty yard run. You mean,
Speaker 1: Jim Brand, That's what he looked like. It was just so.
Speaker 1: I mean the way Kyle Island was sitting back there
Speaker 1: in that pocket, I mean, he could have did whatever
Speaker 1: he wanted. He could have filed his taxes back there.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you're a guy back there
Speaker 1: and you got that much time, I mean, Ben de
Speaker 1: Nucci could have went back there and diced up our
Speaker 1: defense if he had that much time. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was we got we're struggling guys, Church and Church listen,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to admit this man, I should have
Speaker 1: stopped with my first mind. We all talked about, you know,
Speaker 1: the d line was supposed to be great and be
Speaker 1: able to rush the passer, and then all the Smith
Speaker 1: came out the first weekend was out playing d long.
Speaker 1: We was like, oh, this dude and I have a
Speaker 1: heck of a season, maybe double digit sacks. Oh no,
Speaker 1: We're in trouble. I should have stupped with my first
Speaker 1: mind that everybody looked like they've been off for five years.
Speaker 1: Everybody on our defensive line looks like they have been
Speaker 1: off for the last five years and not able to
Speaker 1: get any pressure on anybody, no matter who they're going against.
Speaker 1: It just looks like we cannot win and we cannot
Speaker 1: create enough pressure to cause any turnovers, to get any sacks,
Speaker 1: any real meaningful sex. So I did a radio interview
Speaker 1: today with some guys out of Philadelphia, and they were
Speaker 1: talking about First they asked me about Alden Smith, and
Speaker 1: then Randy Gregory, like Randy Gregory's good man, What's what's
Speaker 1: going on? I said, they had six naps man. And
Speaker 1: then I went back to the conversations we've had here
Speaker 1: on the players lines. I said, if you're a defensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: you're not worried about these defensive ends because you're running
Speaker 1: this ball right up the gut because they go, yeah,
Speaker 1: stop you. And this was another day in which we
Speaker 1: kept seeing don Terry Poe get turned around every just
Speaker 1: push him left, he going left, push him right, he
Speaker 1: goes right. I mean, literally, you don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about throwing the ball. You're running this thing all day
Speaker 1: long on the Cowboys. And then when you do throw it,
Speaker 1: you go ahead and you throw it deep over their
Speaker 1: heads and you're gonna have the ability to strike there.
Speaker 1: But but as long as this team is so soft
Speaker 1: up the middle, whoever you are, your game plan has
Speaker 1: to be, let's run this ball at ninety five and
Speaker 1: whoever else they want to put out there, being Antoine Woods, it,
Speaker 1: defensive tackle in Tyrone Crawford. But run the ball between
Speaker 1: the between your guards and you're gonna have a I mean,
Speaker 1: I saw one guard lock up on Jalen Smith and
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I mean, it's not like these aren't
Speaker 1: the Hogs that I grew up watching for Washington. These
Speaker 1: are just some dudes, but this is the game plan,
Speaker 1: and we saw it work to perfection for Cleveland for
Speaker 1: three hundred and seven yards. We saw Arizona, whose ground
Speaker 1: game has been struggling, they came in here and they
Speaker 1: tore up the Cowboys, and then Washington did the same thing.
Speaker 1: So you're whole. You're talking about Alden Smith and and
Speaker 1: Randy greg right now, who cares? You're going right up
Speaker 1: the middle and it's wrong right now, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know how they fell it. Hold on, hold
Speaker 1: on now, we're talking about this last week on the tape.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna let these defensive Vanians off the hook.
Speaker 1: All right. Let me tell you something. Robert Woods came
Speaker 1: in here and ran the speed sweep and they ran
Speaker 1: it down our throat, all right. O'Dell came around here
Speaker 1: and did a speed reverse and ran it down our throat.
Speaker 1: Gibson came in here and did the same exact play
Speaker 1: and went for forty yards. These defensive Vivanians are also
Speaker 1: not doing what they're supposed to do on the edges
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of big plays coming around the
Speaker 1: corner on though. Yeah, I mean, go ahead, go ahead,
Speaker 1: and they go ahead, but they haven't stopped it. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you say that, but you know it's been a process.
Speaker 1: They want so literally, if you're if you're a coordinator
Speaker 1: this week, it's in the plans. Gotta be here, Greg,
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna pick up. Greg words, Junior. He
Speaker 1: will get it sure. Around the I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: nobody's setting the edge. Even he said there, y'all come
Speaker 1: in around the corner. Come in a round the coal.
Speaker 1: This is what it is. The corner. Everybody around the corner,
Speaker 1: you know, and at least you see a couple play,
Speaker 1: maybe three plays out of the game where you know,
Speaker 1: d Law or Auton Smith or somebody will make a
Speaker 1: play against the run. How can these guys continually trot
Speaker 1: out ninety five on the field after the takee they watch,
Speaker 1: I mean we we all we see the game copy
Speaker 1: and it's nowhere near as clear or as evident as
Speaker 1: the you know all twenty two film that the coaches
Speaker 1: watched with the players. How are they continually watching this film,
Speaker 1: watching this guy get pushed back five six seven yards
Speaker 1: from the line of scrimmage, and how do they continually
Speaker 1: trop him out there like he's like a Stalworth or
Speaker 1: he you know, our defense is nothing without him. You know,
Speaker 1: I just don't understand it man at all. I mean,
Speaker 1: how can you continue to track this guy out there
Speaker 1: when he's continually giving up lane after lane after lane.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's embarrassing. I didn't think it could get worse, gentlemen.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I thought when they let go ride Marinelle
Speaker 1: and they decided to change and get some bigger guys
Speaker 1: in front, I thought that was going to be be
Speaker 1: the way to solve things. And I was wrong. I
Speaker 1: was wrong. And when I look at Don Terry Poe,
Speaker 1: I simply asked this question, what will it take for
Speaker 1: them to just say goodbye? There's got to be some
Speaker 1: people sitting at home who will come in here and
Speaker 1: at least give you some effort, because I don't feel
Speaker 1: like you're getting effort. And it's not just him, he's
Speaker 1: not alone, but but honestly, when you're watching him, you're
Speaker 1: you're dead last it run defense. Why do these guys,
Speaker 1: why do you keep rolling this group of people out
Speaker 1: of here when seemingly they don't care. I say seemingly
Speaker 1: because that's how it seems. Maybe they do. But right now,
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing here, it's an uninspired effort. And you
Speaker 1: guys played this game, and you know what uninspired effort
Speaker 1: looks like. And that, to me is the most damning
Speaker 1: thing because this is a this was a one in
Speaker 1: five football team. You face, they outclassed you from the
Speaker 1: time that football was kicked off, and that's really disappointing.
Speaker 1: Despite all the injuries and everything else, one thing you
Speaker 1: can't control. You can't control effort and your ability to
Speaker 1: actually want to be out there. And it didn't seem
Speaker 1: like that to a whole lot of cowboy fans at home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and to me, it was just you can tell it's
Speaker 1: just a lack of a lack of fear out there.
Speaker 1: I mean, for me to go out there and put
Speaker 1: out tape like that, I'd be scared I was gonna
Speaker 1: lose my job or the guy behind me was were
Speaker 1: gonna start rotating or something. I mean, there's you just
Speaker 1: guys are just out there playing like everything secure and
Speaker 1: they're taking everything for granted because they know the coaches
Speaker 1: can't do nothing or you know, to me, if I
Speaker 1: put that tape out there, you know, I'd just be embarrassed.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's no other there's no other way
Speaker 1: around it. You put that tape out there, you're embarrassed.
Speaker 1: So to me, it's just it's just guys that you know,
Speaker 1: there's no fear, there's no fear of losing jobs, there's
Speaker 1: no fear or holding anybody accountable, and it shows on
Speaker 1: the grass man. Like you said, Church, I need you
Speaker 1: to take take a page out of Knew his book,
Speaker 1: all right, and just get out of the denial stage.
Speaker 1: Get out of the denial stage and accept the fact
Speaker 1: that we are not a good team. All right, we
Speaker 1: should be oh and seven. That saved us from being
Speaker 1: that team, and some dumb players from the other teams
Speaker 1: saved us from being that And he covered up a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff, and he enabled us to be able
Speaker 1: to come back from some of those ugly, ugly scores
Speaker 1: and make it competitive. Without him, we are not that
Speaker 1: talk about oh yeah, oh my goodness. I want to
Speaker 1: know I want to know this. I want to know
Speaker 1: this before we get before, before we get out of it,
Speaker 1: newited Church, I need you guys to give me what
Speaker 1: knew he probably want to do it. Who's going to
Speaker 1: be the first person to be let go from the
Speaker 1: coaching staff. Oh who's who's going first? Because let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. I know Steven said he got to
Speaker 1: give give these guys a chance, and him and him
Speaker 1: and Jerry known for you know, letting people, you know,
Speaker 1: have a little time to get acclimated with with their
Speaker 1: with their players and players acclimated with them. I don't
Speaker 1: see any way that after this year that the coaching
Speaker 1: staff remains exactly the same. Go ahead and knew you
Speaker 1: got that. I'm gonna look toward the defensive backfield and
Speaker 1: saying that's that's where it goes. Um, the Mike Nolan
Speaker 1: question is going to be very interesting because we know
Speaker 1: McCarthy's feeling about Mike, know, the guy who gave him
Speaker 1: a shot as a coordinator in the National Football Again
Speaker 1: this thing. We all know that this is a buddy
Speaker 1: this is a buddy system. So and to me here
Speaker 1: and I said the song this radio interview Philadephia, don't
Speaker 1: say it again here that after the season, they've gotta
Speaker 1: they've got to ask themselves who are they gonna choose?
Speaker 1: Are they gonna choose the coaches and they gonna chose players?
Speaker 1: Because if they're gonna choose this group of coaches. And
Speaker 1: you heard Stephen Jones today, all right, to quote what
Speaker 1: Stephen said, Steven said, I know we have the right
Speaker 1: head coach for the job. These things take time. And
Speaker 1: he also said, I think we're going in the right direction.
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna believe in these you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to move these players out because it's clear these players,
Speaker 1: a lot of these players have not bought in to
Speaker 1: what they're preaching. So so that to me is gonna
Speaker 1: be very very interesting. But if I sit up here
Speaker 1: saying who's gonna be the sacrificial man, knowing that McCarthey
Speaker 1: want to try to keep, knowing that's probably gonna be
Speaker 1: the defensive backfield coach because you go find another one
Speaker 1: of those, that's probably what they'll do. I love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you said, Steve, Stephen said, we're going on in the
Speaker 1: right direction. That's what he said. Okay, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: news to me, But I mean, good, all right, I
Speaker 1: didn't know he said that. I was surprising. That was surprising. Stephen.
Speaker 1: Stephen is in man. I mean, just just so you know,
Speaker 1: just so you understand, Stephen is in so so listen.
Speaker 1: So so they got they got Stephen too. I'm not surprised.
Speaker 1: Here's here's one of Steven's quotes exactly all right, says
Speaker 1: I know we've got the right head coach for the job.
Speaker 1: These things just take time. I know our fans are frustrated.
Speaker 1: We are certainly understand the criticism that's coming our way.
Speaker 1: But we've got to go to work when we come back.
Speaker 1: When we come back, something that somebody posed about Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shoot it down for you, Okay, And that's
Speaker 1: the job status. I'll shoot it down for you. Next

Speaker 1: got right? Did he got right? Did he kyle out first?
Speaker 1: Got us? Okay, okay, Look, this is what the Cowboys
Speaker 1: had become. Odell Beckham junior, and they were talking about trait,
Speaker 1: they were talking about training Odell Beckham Junior. Then he
Speaker 1: came faced, the Cowboys looked like a pro bowler, and
Speaker 1: everybody loved him again. I mean, this is what they become.
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk had done anything all year. I picked him
Speaker 1: up fantasy football. May played the Cowboys. Ude run out
Speaker 1: here and put up put up numbers. Man, Kenyan Drake,
Speaker 1: here's a guy that he wasn't doing anything. Okay, he
Speaker 1: was losing snaps to chase Hedmans rose up a buck
Speaker 1: sixty four on the ground. This is what the Cowboys are.
Speaker 1: When you allow thirty four point seven points a game
Speaker 1: and you allow one hundred and seventy eight yards of
Speaker 1: rushing per contest, other teams are getting right against you.
Speaker 1: They're scoring, they're running it will. Here's another thing about defense.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I was just sick. What I talking about
Speaker 1: here with this club is what are some of the
Speaker 1: things they can't do? Offensively? They can't I mean defensive
Speaker 1: they can't get anybody off the field. On third day,
Speaker 1: Washington was nine to fifteen on third down. Maybe talk
Speaker 1: about Washington Man, I talk about Patrick Mahomes, I'll talk
Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson and multiples about Washington Man the team,
Speaker 1: but no nickname. They go nine to fifteen on third down.
Speaker 1: We talk about time, time of possession? Right, how does
Speaker 1: your offense help your defense time of possession? Do you
Speaker 1: know Washington had the ball twelve minutes longer your defense
Speaker 1: was on the field for almost a full quarter. Barry
Speaker 1: this Dan's not good enough to be on the football
Speaker 1: field for over thirty minutes much less around the field
Speaker 1: for thirty six. Man, and you go to tell us
Speaker 1: you believe man, put that in narcot. Man, I got
Speaker 1: all that I got off that blue drink, and get
Speaker 1: off and give it to y'all. Y'all, right, right now,
Speaker 1: we're not playing winning formula. We didn't were turning the
Speaker 1: ball over. We ain't got time to possession. Our defense
Speaker 1: is looking god awful right now. But you know, but
Speaker 1: I've still got to stick with the ship because we're
Speaker 1: only a half game out of first place. I still
Speaker 1: gotta stick with the ship unless we go out there
Speaker 1: and we put you know, no disrespect, But if we
Speaker 1: go out there with the Nucci at quarterback, I'm off.
Speaker 1: I mean, y'all gotta give me a reprieve on that
Speaker 1: one if if that's if that's what we're going for
Speaker 1: that game. Man, we got it's no qualifiers here, man,
Speaker 1: it's no qualifier balla. Y'all gonna get your boy a
Speaker 1: reprieve if they go out there the Nucci. Listen, how
Speaker 1: many turnouts did we have this week? One? So when
Speaker 1: you talk about getting because when you talk about getting right,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure you talk about the defense too,
Speaker 1: because if you got a defense that's going up and
Speaker 1: get the Cowboys, you need to start them as well,
Speaker 1: because they're gonna get some turnovers, they gonna get some sex.
Speaker 1: And then the Cowboys not putting up no points when
Speaker 1: Andy don't out there, and definitely not with d Nucci.
Speaker 1: So this is this is an all around get right game.
Speaker 1: We didn see something good from special teams with Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard getting a long return, but that is few and
Speaker 1: far between this season. This is an all around get
Speaker 1: right game. Start up against the Cowboys if you got them,
Speaker 1: until they show something different. Cowboys office still got six acts.
Speaker 1: I still I still got faith and what where in
Speaker 1: the NFC. In the NFC crown man, I said, we
Speaker 1: only at half game out. We only got half game out.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you some in church that that was.
Speaker 1: That was one of the shortest games that I've ever watched.
Speaker 1: It is what I was at the store, like two
Speaker 1: forty five and the game was over. I felt like
Speaker 1: they had a running clock. They get they had mercy
Speaker 1: on us. That's that's what Washington did. So we're supposed
Speaker 1: to control the clock. We lost in every aspect of
Speaker 1: the game. Everyone, y'all right, I mean I can't even
Speaker 1: I can't even say nothing today because y'all told me previously.
Speaker 1: Y'all they had Chase Young, they got Carrigan, they got
Speaker 1: you know Island, they got Sweat, they got those boys,
Speaker 1: and I didn't listen. You know, I played with my heart.
Speaker 1: I didn't listen. So y'all are right, y'all got it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give y'all y'all day. Y'all got this day.
Speaker 1: But I've still got faith. And when we come back,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna having my day. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take you the same thing Sunday night. All right,
Speaker 1: We're gonna take you the exact same thing. So get
Speaker 1: ready for we played good on prime time. We played
Speaker 1: good on Prime time, man, So I worried about it.
Speaker 1: I ain't worried about it, man, I ain't worried. All right.
Speaker 1: Here here's more from Steven Jones, and uh he said, quote,
Speaker 1: you're gonna watch a team evolve over time. Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: has proven that he could do what year in and
Speaker 1: year out. I'm not sticking my head and saying I
Speaker 1: understand there's gonna be frustration. We deserve criticism, but I
Speaker 1: think this will evolve. Stephen also said, I just think
Speaker 1: you're gonna take your lumps with a new staff, and
Speaker 1: then he said, I think we're going in the right direction. Uh.
Speaker 1: He also said, I do believe we have the right
Speaker 1: right kind of guys. I know we have the right
Speaker 1: head coach for the job. Things just taken when it can't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: sound like a go ahead, go ahead and finish. No
Speaker 1: that that that's a good stopping place, But go ahead, okay. Uh,
Speaker 1: let me see. I think Matt la Floor his first
Speaker 1: year with Green Bay was last year. Did they go
Speaker 1: to the playoffs? How do they look? I'm looking at Carolina.
Speaker 1: They got a new staff this year. Are they doing Okay?
Speaker 1: They're doing better than us. Yeah, and they don't have McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: They got a new quarterback, Terry Bridge. Boy, Okay, I
Speaker 1: think they're doing all right. What about Washington? They just
Speaker 1: got that staff. They can't figure out who their quarterback is.
Speaker 1: Did we go up there and play them? Oh man,
Speaker 1: they made us look like straight garbage. The Texans oftentimes
Speaker 1: look better than us, and they fired they coach in
Speaker 1: the middle of the season. So I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I like, listen, all right, I understand, you know, don't
Speaker 1: staff sometimes Cleveland, yeah, Cleveland as well. Sometimes it takes time.
Speaker 1: But to look this bad it says a lot like
Speaker 1: all right, and like takes some lumps and feel that
Speaker 1: way whatever. But to look this bad and have your
Speaker 1: players look like they're not really playing for you and
Speaker 1: uninspired and not hustling, and then coming out in the
Speaker 1: news and saying we don't need the hustling and then
Speaker 1: leaking our stuff anonymously, this is you know, this is
Speaker 1: way past a new staff. Look, all those teams you
Speaker 1: name have one thing in common, man, They all have
Speaker 1: their quarterback. They all got that guy their leader. With
Speaker 1: Washington right now, I'll give you Washington. Well, they've never
Speaker 1: had once and again with it, you know. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this now, we don't have our guy
Speaker 1: right now, do then? But I'm still I'm sure I'm
Speaker 1: still with Stephen. Stephen knows what he's talking about. Man. Look,
Speaker 1: we got a chance, we gotta we only half game out, man,
Speaker 1: and tell us over I'm gonna keep riding that ship,
Speaker 1: all right, and tell us to go down two or
Speaker 1: fourteen and go down with the ship unless they put
Speaker 1: the Nuccie out there. Then I gotta y'all gotta say,
Speaker 1: y'a gotta throw me a life vest or something y'all
Speaker 1: got gets that's the thing that's gonna stop it. Okay,
Speaker 1: the new Okay, I'm grasping on strings right here. Man,
Speaker 1: throw me a lifeline. Man. Gee, no, no, we're telling
Speaker 1: you to go ahead, Church and come on in, bring
Speaker 1: your ship on. I can't do it because a man
Speaker 1: can't do it. Don Terry Poe's still out there. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's still out there. I don't know how this thing's
Speaker 1: not going to get fixed. And I had a couple
Speaker 1: of people on my timeline to trade for Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: and then a buddy of mine who's the main sports
Speaker 1: guy in the new NBC New Warld's like yeah, man,
Speaker 1: um here, Jamis Winston, make the Cowboys give you a three,
Speaker 1: like three, let's stop this at this point in time.
Speaker 1: The way the Cowboys are going. As a top ten
Speaker 1: draft pick, you want to be able to draft in
Speaker 1: the top ten in every single round. You're not giving
Speaker 1: it up for Jamis Winston. Jamis Winston and Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: cannot save this football team. They're not one player away.
Speaker 1: This isn't when they thought they had Hey, let's go
Speaker 1: get Brandon Weeding their math castle because Romo went down
Speaker 1: and we just need somebody to win it some game.
Speaker 1: The Romo can come in here and save us. This
Speaker 1: is not that kind of situation. They are weak upfront
Speaker 1: on the offensive line and the defensive line. They're not
Speaker 1: good in the trenches. It's what football games are one.
Speaker 1: They're also not good in the defensive backfield. We also
Speaker 1: have people. As Danny mccraizy said, the anonymous sources were right. Okay,
Speaker 1: what the anonymous sources said literally all came true. So
Speaker 1: if the ship is sinking now and it's just Washington,
Speaker 1: what happens for the next when they when they faced Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: when they face Pittsburgh, when they face Baltimore. None of
Speaker 1: these things are easy. I don't know what the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are gonna be favored in another football game. And I
Speaker 1: heard somebody saying, well, we got Cincinnati and like shooe,
Speaker 1: Cincinnati almost people good yesterday. Yeah, you can't sleep on Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: And no, Cincinnati is not something double you. Cincinnati. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be there. They will be at minimum with three
Speaker 1: point dog just because it's Rickie of the year. It's
Speaker 1: going up for Riokie of the Year. He threw for
Speaker 1: four hundred and three tugs, just as I gotta believe,
Speaker 1: and he's on pace to go for all my four
Speaker 1: thousand yards. So I mean listen, when I was second there,
Speaker 1: you can't count Cincinnati. As a matter of facts, Cincinnati
Speaker 1: should be counting us out. They go get a lot.
Speaker 1: Is gonna come down to this, to this Sunday night
Speaker 1: game against Philly Man for a lot of reasons. One
Speaker 1: must win. Two A lot of cattle are gonna be
Speaker 1: fighting for the jobs. Because I'll tell you one thing
Speaker 1: when we played, you know, with the Cowboys is the Jones.
Speaker 1: They don't like to get embarrassed on prime time. So
Speaker 1: Sunday Night, if we go out there and get embarrassed
Speaker 1: like we did against Washington or embarrassed like we did
Speaker 1: all against the season, so I'm somebody going, man, somebody
Speaker 1: got to go. So I'm telling this game coming up,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be huge on multiple aspects because I mean,
Speaker 1: cats are gonna be playing for their job. If they
Speaker 1: go out there and get embarrassed. It sounds like you're
Speaker 1: picking the Cowboys on on Monday. You damn right, I
Speaker 1: told you I'm going down, down with the ship. I'm
Speaker 1: going down, you know what I'm saying. So we got
Speaker 1: this though, we got this. We got this. When we
Speaker 1: come back, a lot of people talking about that hit
Speaker 1: that Boston John Postick laid on Andy Dalton and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys response. Let's dive into that. Next you are check

Speaker 1: They're going to Philadelphia for NBC's Sunday Night Football. Cowboys
Speaker 1: now two and five. They get beat handily at Washington.
Speaker 1: Philadelphia a lot better football team. They may not have
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton quarterback. Reason why Andy Dalton attempted to slide
Speaker 1: down John Boston of Washington dove head first and knocked
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton out of the game, knocked his helmet off,
Speaker 1: and after it happened, no one came to the aid
Speaker 1: of Andy Dalton. In terms of hitting John Boston, pushing
Speaker 1: him nothing. Everybody just sat there and watched, and somebody
Speaker 1: sent me a clip of Steve Young scoring a touchdown
Speaker 1: and he scored against another team and he got hit
Speaker 1: while he was in the end zone, and man, there
Speaker 1: was a big melee that happened after that. People sitting
Speaker 1: there trying to fight to see the reaction of the
Speaker 1: Cowboys players. Even Mike McCarthy called it out. Even he
Speaker 1: was like, yes, it's kind of not what we want.
Speaker 1: That's me reporter sitting here saying it okay, or me
Speaker 1: if my s WBC Mortgage Home studio saying that didn't
Speaker 1: look good. You guys have been in the locker room,
Speaker 1: was the response week by the Cowboys. Mccraige. Absolutely, But
Speaker 1: I think what goes with that is, you know, you
Speaker 1: got a whole replacement offensive line in there. You know,
Speaker 1: if you had Tyren Smith out there, you know, Collins
Speaker 1: and Zach Martin and those guys, I think that response
Speaker 1: would have been a little different. I think the most
Speaker 1: glaring one to me, and I hate to get back
Speaker 1: on this dude again was my guy nineteen who had
Speaker 1: never hit the ball. He got fed the ball all day,
Speaker 1: and I saw him. The clip that they showed, that's
Speaker 1: all I had. The clip that they showed was him
Speaker 1: looking at the dude. You know what I'm saying, like
Speaker 1: he was on Friday, and it was like damn. I'm like, bro, bro,
Speaker 1: go pick him up, go put somebody, go do something,
Speaker 1: and looks it looks bad. It looks bad. I know
Speaker 1: y'all were in shock, and y'all were like, it is
Speaker 1: he okay? But at this point, like something should snapp in,
Speaker 1: be like, man, let me go take care of Because
Speaker 1: that was that. I'm sure that I'm sure the response
Speaker 1: would have been a little different. So just Andy, don't
Speaker 1: should feel a little bad that they didn't have his back.
Speaker 1: But hopefully, you know, you know, they talked to him
Speaker 1: and tell him that they messed up and they don't
Speaker 1: have his back from here and moving forward, No, when
Speaker 1: Devon knocked out the boy because he wanted his bike back,
Speaker 1: and the guy's damn, I told you not coming down
Speaker 1: here mess with he You want some too, right, Cooper, Andy,
Speaker 1: I told you stop coming down here and mess up
Speaker 1: with these people. It's just bad. It was bad. It's
Speaker 1: a bad look. It's a bad look. But ch Million
Speaker 1: Church Church He's sitting here telling you all this and
Speaker 1: you're still riding, You're still drinking a narcotic. I gotta go.
Speaker 1: I gotta go down with the ship man. I gotta
Speaker 1: go down swinging, So I gotta stick with my boys.
Speaker 1: But mccraig was one hundred percent right, man, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was super weak, you know, for those
Speaker 1: guys not to even you know, put a hand on
Speaker 1: my guy or something, give him an elbow or something
Speaker 1: to get him out the way. But like he said,
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't you know, Tyren Smith, you know Frederick,
Speaker 1: This sain't Zack Martin. And for sure it's not like
Speaker 1: coll because I believe like oh would have been over
Speaker 1: there scrapping as soon as that would have happened. But
Speaker 1: these are guys, you know, doing there what fifth and sixth,
Speaker 1: you know, started their career. I mean, they're just trying
Speaker 1: to figure out how to block a tea stunt or
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying something like that, So they
Speaker 1: don't know really what's going on out there. And that's
Speaker 1: when you have your veteran kind of go out there
Speaker 1: and show you the ropes. And I'm sure if there
Speaker 1: was a veteran guy out there with them. He would
Speaker 1: have sparked it off and they might have followed up,
Speaker 1: but they didn't. They didn't have anybody out there to
Speaker 1: show them the ropes man, so they well, they kind
Speaker 1: of checked on the quarterback and let it ride like that.
Speaker 1: But you know it was super weak though. What's happening Church?
Speaker 1: Did I give you a name? Carter Williams, three year
Speaker 1: veteran Cornor Williams, three year veteran starter? Did you do anything?
Speaker 1: Connor Williams, I don't know. I ain't even gonna get
Speaker 1: started on him. Just said it like a wide receiver
Speaker 1: offensive line. But you just said if there was You
Speaker 1: just said if there was a veteran out there. There
Speaker 1: wasn't a veteran out there. He ain't he started le
Speaker 1: he started with last year. That was it he started.
Speaker 1: He was starting at three years. Yes, Connor man, I
Speaker 1: must have some man, I must be. That's how that
Speaker 1: tells you how much you did on the offensive line. Then,
Speaker 1: don't forget. They was getting abused all day too, so
Speaker 1: that they pride was taken away from him well before
Speaker 1: Andy Dunk got hit. So it was a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff going on with them and they trying to figure
Speaker 1: it out and they were getting you know, getting ran
Speaker 1: through and you know we got out physical and you
Speaker 1: know it was a lot going on. But you know,
Speaker 1: to say, listen, I'll tell you this, this is when
Speaker 1: you miss a guy like Sean Lee. Like like Church said,
Speaker 1: without a veteran out there. I remember when DeMarcus Ware
Speaker 1: got cut on punt safe and Sean Lee went. He
Speaker 1: was out there on the field and he was practically
Speaker 1: fighting the guy that they cut DeMarcus Ware. So you know,
Speaker 1: those are those are the type of things that you
Speaker 1: need out there, and that comes from some of your
Speaker 1: veteran players. But you know, when you're down in the
Speaker 1: dumps like that and you already got your head hanging,
Speaker 1: you know, that type of stuff happens. So so McCray
Speaker 1: did did Washington's D line and they take the heart
Speaker 1: and they take the soul of this offensive line on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Absolutely listen, I believe so. And uh and that leads
Speaker 1: me into my worry for Zeke, you know, because you
Speaker 1: know we saw Zeke get get get get hit by
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald and then this week we saw him get
Speaker 1: hit by by the linebacker the same yeah, the same
Speaker 1: linebacker ketches a pickoff his deflected pass. I'm really worried
Speaker 1: for for Zeke's future, uh you know with us, you know,
Speaker 1: because like I said, he's making ninety meal, he's splitting carriages.
Speaker 1: He looks bad out there, and then you know, all
Speaker 1: this stuff is starting to glare, and I'm just wondering,
Speaker 1: you know what, what Mike McCarthy has for him in
Speaker 1: his future, especially when it's passing them all so much
Speaker 1: and having all these receivers, where does the ring game
Speaker 1: fit in? Because it hasn't been you know there. Besides,
Speaker 1: you know that going down and us having a lean
Speaker 1: on it, but that wasn't the focal point of ours
Speaker 1: and you know in the beginning. So I'm worried. Whoo
Speaker 1: o brother, that's we sipped this t because that's a
Speaker 1: who that's loaded quadrun down. Now. It scared me. It's
Speaker 1: scared me, man, It's scared me. It scared me. Like
Speaker 1: hen even when they drafted CD Lamb, it was like, listen,
Speaker 1: it's only one ball, right, so you either gonna focus
Speaker 1: on the run or you will become an air raid offense.
Speaker 1: And then that's when we thought that Zeke was gonna
Speaker 1: be out there running pass routes and we hadn't seen
Speaker 1: that right and they just been focusing on on the path.
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying he can't do it. I'm just
Speaker 1: worried about where he fits in, you know, what the
Speaker 1: play calling and where the offensive philosophy is headed. I
Speaker 1: can't disagree with you. And when you talk about allocating
Speaker 1: those dollars, normally you're thinking, if you're gonna allocate that
Speaker 1: much money to the running back, then you're not gonna
Speaker 1: put it towards, you know, the receivers and the quarterback.
Speaker 1: And so in a lot of ways, they're trying to
Speaker 1: have everything they can and have this fantasy football team,
Speaker 1: and they neglected their defense and a lot of that
Speaker 1: has coming home and it's hurt them. I mean, one
Speaker 1: of the choices they had clearly was Zamari Cooper the
Speaker 1: white receiver or Byron Jones the corner, and they chose
Speaker 1: the wide receiver and they didn't fill the corner spot
Speaker 1: and they just didn't do it, and it's biting them
Speaker 1: so um where they go forward. That's why I say
Speaker 1: they got to ask themselves, are they gonna pick these
Speaker 1: coaches after the season, or they're gonna pick these players
Speaker 1: because they gotta go with one or the other because
Speaker 1: these coaches sound different ideas. The coaches have different ideas
Speaker 1: right now about using these guys from my bad news.
Speaker 1: But it sounds like from from from what Steven Jams,
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones. I mean he's been saying in these quotes,
Speaker 1: it sounds like he's leaning towards the coaches. I mean,
Speaker 1: you got them here saying you know, well, you know,
Speaker 1: these things takes times, and you know, we gotta takes
Speaker 1: our lumps with this. We got a new coach and
Speaker 1: save these things take time. So it's kind of sounds
Speaker 1: like he's leaning towards the coaches, and you know, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means for these players in
Speaker 1: these high contracts, but something's got to give. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't you can't roll over next year, especially if
Speaker 1: the cap lowers. I mean, you can't roll over next
Speaker 1: year with all these high priced guys underachieving. It's October, okay,
Speaker 1: so it's easy to sit up here and say something.
Speaker 1: It's October. Um, let's see after Sunday Night Football National TV,
Speaker 1: how they look. Let's see after they place the Steelers
Speaker 1: and they face Baltimore and you face the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's see, you know, you end up here
Speaker 1: at two and fourteen. I don't care how many you know, injuries,
Speaker 1: would not to be at two and fourteen. And the
Speaker 1: kind of effort we're seeing, if we continue to see
Speaker 1: this effort where we just question these guys, I mean
Speaker 1: already they're going to be question marks within this locker room.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they were when they got on the plane.
Speaker 1: Hey man, Andy all got knocked into smith rings next
Speaker 1: week against Washington and we didn't do nothing. You know,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do with Fletcher When Fletcher Cox
Speaker 1: lay up on somebody? I mean, you know this is
Speaker 1: I mean another other defensive See that's like, oh man,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Klais Campbell and in the
Speaker 1: ball too. I mean they're coming here, man, the Steelers. Man,
Speaker 1: they're getting these guys. I mean, this thing can get bad.
Speaker 1: So while Steven can sit up here and saying, hey man,
Speaker 1: we have confidence right now, Yeah, it's easy to say.
