Speaker 4: all time high right now. Heck, how about yourself. How
Speaker 4: you doing?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm good. I can't complain Dallas Cowboys one
Speaker 2: every time? Right like rain?
Speaker 4: You know you got you got something on Fridayay positive vibes. Well, listen,
Speaker 4: I have obviously high school football. Tonight, I got a
Speaker 4: game and our guy, the fighting Chris Beams College. Okay,
Speaker 4: what you say, are playing our guy tonight? So yeah,
Speaker 4: I will be on duty on w f A A Yeah, man,
Speaker 4: I will be. I will be booked and busy tonight.
Speaker 4: But man, enough about me, let's talk about these I
Speaker 4: was Cowboys. It is victory Friday for a reason, and
Speaker 4: I don't care what nobody say.
Speaker 2: You can you talk about it being an ugly win
Speaker 2: or whatever? It is? A dub is a dub now.
Speaker 4: I always defer to you on things like this, Barry,
Speaker 4: because I just want to know from a guy that
Speaker 4: is played in the National Football League, as long as
Speaker 4: you have there is there such a thing as a
Speaker 4: bad win. You talk about a defensive player right now,
Speaker 4: So to me, look look, there's bad play within a win,
Speaker 4: and you know, sometimes that could happen, like if you
Speaker 4: go out there you get.
Speaker 6: Burned for two tubs, but your team ends up winning,
Speaker 6: so you know you're over the A A dub is
Speaker 6: a dub, but your play was bad. So, I mean,
Speaker 6: I understand all that. But at the end of the day, man,
Speaker 6: we all understand how hard it is to get a
Speaker 6: W in the National Football League, especially against a division rival.
Speaker 6: So to me, a dub is a dub. It was ugly,
Speaker 6: it was choppy, and we'll discuss a little bit of this,
Speaker 6: but I'd never take away a you two and two.
Speaker 6: Would you rather be two and two or one and three?
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. So to me, there's never
Speaker 6: a bad W in the National Football League. Go ahead
Speaker 6: and take that man to the victory, la, I mean, and.
Speaker 4: I think that's really kind of startling to me, is
Speaker 4: that just twenty four hours ago before the game, we
Speaker 4: were talking about if the Cowboys lose this game, that
Speaker 4: the season is lost, that Mike McCarthy is on the
Speaker 4: hot seat, and that this may mean disaster for the
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys. And then all of a sudden, the Cowboys
Speaker 4: go to the metal lands, they win the.
Speaker 2: Game, and now it's like, ah, I can't do that.
Speaker 6: Though we cannot do that because there's still some things,
Speaker 6: there's still some questions.
Speaker 2: That need to be answered.
Speaker 6: But overall, you would, like I said, you would take
Speaker 6: that two and two over one. Just think about if
Speaker 6: it was one and three right now, you lost to
Speaker 6: a team that you have beaten twelve straight times. Mathematically,
Speaker 6: you would still being it. You know, consider talking about
Speaker 6: playoffs and all that stuff. So one and three you
Speaker 6: wouldn't be out mathematically, but the psyche in that locker
Speaker 6: room would have been that would have been destroyed. I mean,
Speaker 6: you talk about arguments on the sideline you took all.
Speaker 2: You took an elder New York. I mean that plane
Speaker 2: rad would have been very very interesting on the way back.
Speaker 2: But hey, that's all to the side. They got the wus.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about it.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about some of the numbers that were put
Speaker 4: up yesterday. For Dak Prescott, that was his thirteenth win
Speaker 4: in a row versus the New York job Sonning. That's Sonning.
Speaker 4: That's only only Bob Greasy has more wins versus series
Speaker 4: back Hotel Tom Machine Amadog. Bob Greasey has seventeen straight
Speaker 4: victories versus the Buffalo Bills, and obviously that's saying a lot.
Speaker 4: But Dak Prescott thirteen wins versus New York. He's on
Speaker 4: the NFC East, and the numbers just continue to get
Speaker 4: better because Brandon Aubrey yesterday he hit a sixty year
Speaker 4: We talked about the fifty one yard love miss, but
Speaker 4: he hit a sixty sixty yarder. He is the second
Speaker 4: player in NFL history to make multiple sixty yard field goes.
Speaker 4: And we're talking about our kicker, who is not just
Speaker 4: any other kicker. He is proving to be a weapon
Speaker 4: for the Dallas Cowboys and also for coach Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 4: He is eighteen and seven versus the NFC East. So
Speaker 4: a guy that has been on the perpetual hot seat
Speaker 4: from the beginning of this year, going out and winning
Speaker 4: that game says a lot about him and his coaching
Speaker 4: ten yure since he's been here as well. But with
Speaker 4: they win yesterday, Dallas is now nine to two all
Speaker 4: time on Thursday nights, not including Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: Way, yeah, a couple of them.
Speaker 4: Man, I'm cooking the books, so I got made off,
Speaker 4: I'm cooking the books over here. But one of the
Speaker 4: things that we wanted to do, man, just to just
Speaker 4: to spice up the show, and we came up with
Speaker 4: an idea, an idea on the players lounge to hand
Speaker 4: out loafs.
Speaker 2: So Barry, would you please explain to.
Speaker 4: The people how if you get a loaf, it is
Speaker 4: perceived as a negative thing, but today it's going to
Speaker 4: be a positive thing.
Speaker 2: What is a loaf in football terminology? So the negative
Speaker 2: portion of the loaf.
Speaker 4: I went under Marionelli, that was my defensive coordinator for
Speaker 4: a couple of years here with the Dallas Cowboys, and
Speaker 4: a loaf was considered if you got passed up on
Speaker 4: the football field by any other position, like you're racing
Speaker 4: towards the football and somebody else pass especially like a
Speaker 4: d line or a linebacker.
Speaker 2: Since I was in the secondary, passed.
Speaker 6: You up to get to the football, that would be
Speaker 6: considered a loaf. Okay, so that was the negative, you know,
Speaker 6: it was the process when it comes to the loaf.
Speaker 2: But here here's on the players. Let him.
Speaker 4: So getting a loaf on the players lounge is actually
Speaker 4: a good thing because if you are a movie buff
Speaker 4: and you have watched paid in full. Okay, Calvin on
Speaker 4: paid and full said he pulled out a wad of money.
Speaker 2: He said, I'm becking biscuits for the project. Hey, the project.
Speaker 4: That means maybe we're making it hot, and so we
Speaker 4: are picking a player on the defensive end and on
Speaker 4: the offensive end to give this loaf too, because that
Speaker 4: means you was hot and you were baking the team
Speaker 4: that was on the other side of you.
Speaker 2: So BC, I'm going to allow you to the first. Yes,
Speaker 2: you're going to give me.
Speaker 4: Man, you will play your and I want to make
Speaker 4: sure you get this loaf.
Speaker 2: This is this is.
Speaker 4: One of the you know, top honors you can have
Speaker 4: all right, handing out the loaf, the artisan sour bread
Speaker 4: or sour dough bread loaf. Yes, so from Tom Thumb
Speaker 4: checking out, you can also get an opposite as well.
Speaker 4: So for me, you know my loaf on the defensive
Speaker 4: side of the football, all right, I think I know
Speaker 4: where you're going with it. But you know me, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna give my loaf to a guy that you know,
Speaker 4: he's on the second level, all right. The guy might
Speaker 4: be the fastest defender that the Cowboys have, including Michael
Speaker 4: Parson's This guy has been known to hand out lost
Speaker 4: when you talk about the Marinelli version of the loast,
Speaker 4: that's the way he's passing these guys up to get
Speaker 4: to the football.
Speaker 6: But yesterday, this man was all over the football. And
Speaker 6: I'm talking about number thirteen, the Marion Overshawn. I mean,
Speaker 6: you get the the inaugural loaf on the defensive side
Speaker 6: of the football, because that man was all over the place.
Speaker 2: He was not only helping him run support.
Speaker 6: But he was out there guarding and making sure he
Speaker 6: tackled guys in the open field to get slot receivers
Speaker 6: some of the quickest, fastest guys out there, neighbors one
Speaker 6: of the best young I mean that dude.
Speaker 2: Is that dude's awesome. Now, that is good.
Speaker 6: One of the best young wide receivers out there. And
Speaker 6: Overshawn was winning the entire time. So on the defensive
Speaker 6: side of the football, Overshown, you get the inaugural.
Speaker 2: Fir, the very first low. All right, take this right here,
Speaker 2: and this is I mean, I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 2: this is is like in the Heisman. Damn there.
Speaker 4: All right, go ahead and take this loaf back there,
Speaker 4: locker and put it up tight somewhere.
Speaker 2: Man. But you could the inaugural loaf from your boy BC.
Speaker 4: So look, man, that's that's so awesome first of all,
Speaker 4: because there's nobody better to give that to. Because I
Speaker 4: think that the Marvin overshown the previous game against the
Speaker 4: Baltimore Ravens, but he'd have been on the other side
Speaker 4: of the I said that was that was that wasn't
Speaker 4: a good showing, but he made up for it in
Speaker 4: this game versus New York Giants. And obviously the production
Speaker 4: was there. I am going to hand my load.
Speaker 2: You what you're gonna do with the loaf?
Speaker 4: Somebody that was out there, boy, he was burning them boys, man,
Speaker 4: And I mean he was putting in major work. And
Speaker 4: he was my Yetti Cool customer. Yes on Wednesday Tuesday,
Speaker 4: excuse me, he came out to be my Yetti Cool customer,
Speaker 4: but none other than Sadarious Lamb. I'm gonna give this
Speaker 4: loaf to Ceedee Lamb because Ceedee Lamb went out there
Speaker 4: and basically what Ceedee Lamb said was, look.
Speaker 2: I hear you talking. We did. We were doing a
Speaker 2: lot of talk, a lot, all.
Speaker 4: Right, And I know y'all got a lot of camera
Speaker 4: angles of me and what I was saying.
Speaker 2: But what y'all didn't hear me.
Speaker 4: What I was actually saying was, managine, give me one
Speaker 4: more time to put this butter on the biscuits. I'm saying,
Speaker 4: we gonna butt them up. And that's exactly what he did. Man,
Speaker 4: he went out there, he did his thing. Seven receptions
Speaker 4: for ninety eight yards. Man, what a good showing for
Speaker 4: Ceedee Lamb. This Cowboy office seemingly getting back on track
Speaker 4: in the first half. Obviously second half different story, but
Speaker 4: still able to pull out this victory.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: Before we go to the first break, man, I want
Speaker 4: to just get an overall opinion from you on the game. Obviously,
Speaker 4: fan bases, media, everybody's a little bit torn on what
Speaker 4: this victory means for the Dallas Cowboys. But what were
Speaker 4: your overall thoughts on that victory? So let me go ahead,
Speaker 4: since you just gave it to Sidarius.
Speaker 6: Hlariaous mama name he said, he wow, But I'm gonna
Speaker 6: go to start on the officer side of the football.
Speaker 6: To me, was you know Dak Prescott's numbers out there gotty? No,
Speaker 6: they weren't gotty by any stretch of the imagination. I
Speaker 6: believe he went out there and what twenty seven or
Speaker 6: twenty two of twenty seven, two hundred and twenty one
Speaker 6: yards out there. He was sacked once, but he had
Speaker 6: two touchdowns out there. And the most important stat of
Speaker 6: all this man didn't turn the football over. And those
Speaker 6: are the numbers that I need to see from a
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott, all right, right there in the middle twenty
Speaker 6: two of twenty seven out there, you're not turning the
Speaker 6: football over, which means you're not putting your team in
Speaker 6: harm's way. He was extremely accurate with the football out there,
Speaker 6: only missing five passes to those wide receivers. And what
Speaker 6: I the outside of turnovers, I loved the fact that
Speaker 6: he was able to get other people involved. It wasn't
Speaker 6: just seed or bust all right. Well, you know you
Speaker 6: got Tobert in there. You had Cookes on a slant
Speaker 6: out there. You was able to spread the love to
Speaker 6: all the teammates. And that's exactly what we were talking about,
Speaker 6: I believe two weeks ago when we were talking about
Speaker 6: him being a force multiplier out there, making sure he
Speaker 6: rises all boats with his tie. And that's what he
Speaker 6: was doing out there. He was getting everybody. Ferg everybody
Speaker 6: had a piece of it. Ell boogie. Oh my god,
Speaker 6: had a piece of it.
Speaker 2: And I never thought I see today, Never thought I
Speaker 2: see today.
Speaker 6: I'm like, you know what, hell, Bookie was out there
Speaker 6: and he and he was doing this thing. But shout
Speaker 6: out to mister Prescott on the office side of the football,
Speaker 6: rising or raising all those guys level of play out there.
Speaker 2: That's what you love to see.
Speaker 6: And then you know the negative part about it offensively,
Speaker 6: that offensive line. I mean, you know you're gonna have
Speaker 6: growing pains. You know you're gonna have growing pains with
Speaker 6: those two young play players in there.
Speaker 2: But guid, we got to get you a little bit better.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get into that, right, I'll wait for that.
Speaker 4: Let me let me slid to the defensive side of
Speaker 4: the footballity defensive side of the football.
Speaker 2: I loved what I saw against the run.
Speaker 6: I mean, you hold a team to what twenty six
Speaker 6: yards you know, total rushing after giving up all those
Speaker 6: yards that you've had the previous games. That's what happens
Speaker 6: when this defense works as a unit out there. Now,
Speaker 6: I understand, you know, they weren't going against Dereck Henry,
Speaker 6: they weren't going against Kamara out there, going against it,
Speaker 6: I understand all that, but you can only play who
Speaker 6: you got on the schedule, all right, and they were
Speaker 6: able to go out there and dominate against the run.
Speaker 6: When you talk about playing as a unit, our guy
Speaker 6: for the first time I think I've ever seen Mizzie
Speaker 6: Smith showed up.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 6: He showed up in a big way. And that defensive
Speaker 6: line kept those linemen off of the second level, and
Speaker 6: that's what I think was the pivotal part. You were
Speaker 6: able to get over shown to go sideline, the sideline
Speaker 6: used that speed, and Hendricks was able to come downhill.
Speaker 6: Now there's some things we need to worry about in
Speaker 6: the secondary, which we'll touch on a little bit later,
Speaker 6: But overall, I liked what I saw for the defensive
Speaker 6: side of the football, and I loved what I saw
Speaker 6: from Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4: So you know, one of the things that I always
Speaker 4: say to you and we're having conversations about offense or
Speaker 4: specifically about quarterbacks as it relates to Dak Prescott, I
Speaker 4: never confuse him with the likes of the Patrick Mahomess
Speaker 4: of the world, the Aaron rodgers Is of the world.
Speaker 4: I don't put him in that because those guys, to
Speaker 4: me are expert marksmen, and I can tell they've done
Speaker 4: it at a high level for years and years and
Speaker 4: years just with the velocity of the placement on the ball.
Speaker 4: But one thing that I'm seeing from Dak, and not
Speaker 4: a lot of people are giving him credit for, is
Speaker 4: his placement now on balls. We talked about this at
Speaker 4: the beginning of the season, and I said this because
Speaker 4: I knew that Ceedee Lamb was going to face more
Speaker 4: double teams than he'd ever faced before. Because of the
Speaker 4: money and because of the success that he's having. Dak
Speaker 4: is able to make those tight window throws and he
Speaker 4: saw a ton of those guys you know, on several
Speaker 4: plays to Ceedee Lamb, he's tagging and putting the ball
Speaker 4: on him on the throw that he had to to
Speaker 4: what's my man tobert on the money on the money
Speaker 4: throws and Daker is having to make these throws a
Speaker 4: lot of times under the rest, moving to his left
Speaker 4: throwing with you know right obviously he's right handed quarterback.
Speaker 4: But man, those are just things that you're starting to
Speaker 4: see the maturation of his game as he starts to
Speaker 4: become elevate that players you talk Rods and todd rises,
Speaker 4: all boats, and that's what you have to do, because understandably,
Speaker 4: if you look at the Dallas Cowboys, you have to
Speaker 4: say to yourself, man, they don't aside from Ceedee Lamb,
Speaker 4: who are the other playmakers?
Speaker 2: Now I'm forcing Ferg.
Speaker 4: To be in there, and Ferg obviously has seven catches
Speaker 4: forty nine yards, but other than that, you don't see
Speaker 4: the second, third, and fourth guided being the production that
Speaker 4: you need. So you're gonna have to have a quarterback
Speaker 4: that can almost take these guys, carry him on the
Speaker 4: back and put them in positions to be successful.
Speaker 2: And that's what I saw yesterday.
Speaker 4: I think offensively overall the Cowboys still leaves a lot
Speaker 4: to be desired. Not gonna lie, there's still a lot
Speaker 4: to be desired on that side of the ball. But
Speaker 4: two of twenty seven, two hundred and twenty one yards,
Speaker 4: two touchdowns and no interceptions. No interceptions, And we've seen
Speaker 4: in those games before it's oopsie daisy or tip pass,
Speaker 4: the whole thing, turned the whole thing around, and we
Speaker 4: didn't see that last night. And I'm telling you really
Speaker 4: impressed with Dak Prescott and the way that he let
Speaker 4: this offense yesterday. But we got to talk about this
Speaker 4: defense that has been historically baged through three games of
Speaker 4: the season. Zim must have put his pimp hand down,
Speaker 4: because I'm telling you the defense came out and they
Speaker 4: were changed. But what we're gonna do is take our
Speaker 4: first break and come back here on the players lounge.

Speaker 2: Back to the Players Lounge.
Speaker 4: This segment was brought to you by Yeti, the official
Speaker 4: cooler and drinkwear of the Dallas Cowboys. This is the
Speaker 4: Players Lounge in the SWBC Mortgage Studios. Heck Marrison with
Speaker 4: my man Barry Church, former Dallas Cowboys safety and Barry
Speaker 4: you know, we've broken down a lot about everything overall,
Speaker 4: but specifically, all eyes, all.
Speaker 2: Eyes were on this defense. Oh yeah, I was boat yeh.
Speaker 4: Focus, All eyes was on the defense because they've given
Speaker 4: up four hundred yards rushing and seven touchdowns and this season,
Speaker 4: and that's the most highest in the NFL dead last
Speaker 4: and rush yards allowed.
Speaker 2: That's not a good thing.
Speaker 4: Even if there's if you think that you can make
Speaker 4: it to the Super Bowl, you can't do it with
Speaker 4: numbers like that through It's impossible through seventeen through seventeen.
Speaker 4: But yesterday the Cowboys came into the meadowlands and man,
Speaker 4: they put up some numbers that we hadn't seen for
Speaker 4: a very long time. The Dallas Cowboys halted the Giants
Speaker 4: running game to one point eight yards carry emphasis on
Speaker 4: the eighth, the sixth lowest allowed rushing average Enfranchise history.
Speaker 4: The last time the Cowboys allowed less than one point
Speaker 4: eight yards per carry.
Speaker 2: Was in twenty fifteen against the Blue Eagles.
Speaker 4: I think I know a man, I think I know
Speaker 4: a guy that was on the field for that game.
Speaker 2: It was a guy that was there. Was a guy.
Speaker 2: But when you look at when you look at these things, when.
Speaker 4: You look at that, you guys in the performance maybe
Speaker 4: if you remember it, but also just being on one
Speaker 4: of those defenses obviously that just can't turn off a faucet,
Speaker 4: can't stop it, you know, can't stop it no matter what.
Speaker 4: And all of the football says, running down your throat,
Speaker 4: whatever you're getting ran on, right, And they couldn't. They
Speaker 4: couldn't stop it. But the emphasis on stopping the run
Speaker 4: yesterday was apparent, and they did a wonderful job in
Speaker 4: doing it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they did an awesome job. And to me, what
Speaker 6: stuck out the most what I was just like, man,
Speaker 6: you know what I haven't seen that, you know from
Speaker 6: a Cowboys defense in the past. You know, two years
Speaker 6: when you talk about stopping a run was defensively that
Speaker 6: D line.
Speaker 2: They made a new line of scrimmage. And what I
Speaker 2: mean by that.
Speaker 6: Is you saw the first two games where running backs
Speaker 6: weren't getting touched until they got to the second level.
Speaker 4: I mean, guys were getting pushed back five ten yards.
Speaker 4: We saw the one play where my man's got pushed
Speaker 4: all the way to the end zone and he was
Speaker 4: playing your one technique that just can't happen.
Speaker 6: But in this game, you saw that push and predominantly,
Speaker 6: to my surprise, the push came from Mazzi Smith on
Speaker 6: that interior. He was able to start a new line
Speaker 6: of scrimmage a yard back from the previous one, which
Speaker 6: means those guys that were getting a hand off Singletary
Speaker 6: out there, Tracy as well Gray, they had to stop defeat.
Speaker 2: They had to bounce.
Speaker 6: The hole just wasn't there because these guys were penetrating
Speaker 6: that line of scrimmage and pushing these guys backwards all right.
Speaker 2: Into the lapse of those running backs.
Speaker 6: And what that happened was those deuce blocks or those
Speaker 6: double team blocks where they were able to push guys
Speaker 6: out the way and work their way up to that
Speaker 6: second level. With the linebacker level, they weren't able to
Speaker 6: do that, all right. They had their hands.
Speaker 2: Full with the one guy on that double team.
Speaker 6: So that allowed, like I said earlier, Overshown and Kendricks
Speaker 6: to do what they do best, all right, and is
Speaker 6: just run sideline a sideline in Overshown's.
Speaker 2: Case and Downhill and kendricks case.
Speaker 6: So to me, I love the fact that that line
Speaker 6: of scrimmage was getting pushed back and they were for
Speaker 6: they were winning first and second down. Now we'll get
Speaker 6: into a little bit of the questions I have about,
Speaker 6: you know, whether they were getting enough pressure on them
Speaker 6: the secondary, all that good stuff. But when you talk
Speaker 6: about the run defense, these guys played outstanding as far
Speaker 6: as the front seven is concerned, in my opinion, they
Speaker 6: were playing as a unit, and that's what you didn't
Speaker 6: see those first couple of games. You know, Michael Parsons
Speaker 6: talked about it last week. As far as hero ball
Speaker 6: is concerned, all right, everybody trying to do their own thing.
Speaker 6: Make sure they get to the football, make sure they
Speaker 6: are the one that makes the tackle this time. If
Speaker 6: you had the contained and the responsibility they had that
Speaker 6: contained brick wall, you got to go back that way
Speaker 6: if you want to be successful, and if you went
Speaker 6: back that way, that's where all the troops were coming from.
Speaker 6: So to me, it just looked like a team that
Speaker 6: was playing as a unit and finally kind of understood
Speaker 6: the scheme and believed in this scheme that Zimmer was
Speaker 6: putting out there. Because those guys, there were no you know,
Speaker 6: miss gaps. There were no oh, man, should I hit
Speaker 6: there or I'm hesitating here. I don't know, do I
Speaker 6: have the B gap when this happens? Do I have
Speaker 6: the A gap when that happens. Guys were playing one
Speaker 6: hundred miles an hour, and I don't care if they
Speaker 6: were playing wrong. They were all playing one hundred miles
Speaker 6: an hour. And that's what you got to do in
Speaker 6: this situation. You can't second guess yourself. You can't second
Speaker 6: guess the scheme that Zimmer has out there. And those
Speaker 6: guys they played as a unit, especially that front seven.
Speaker 4: What was big for me and I think what I
Speaker 4: questioned from this team, especially the even the Cleveland game,
Speaker 4: they look like a team that was playing a new defense.
Speaker 4: And they've looked like that that hesitancy that you're just
Speaker 4: talking about, and it seemed like these guys were not
Speaker 4: playing with the same muscle memory that they were playing
Speaker 4: with when they had Dan Quinn as the defensive coordinator.
Speaker 4: And little things that I noticed, like from Mazie in
Speaker 4: this game, and I don't know without talking to coach
Speaker 4: Zimmer personally, I can only get just guess that, you know,
Speaker 4: when I see Mazi looking like he you know it
Speaker 4: has two gap responsibilities. He's standing straight up and he's
Speaker 4: trying to, you know, stonewall these guys. But I don't
Speaker 4: know if he's big enough to be able to do it.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about hight wise, you gotta have some pretty
Speaker 4: long arms to be able to.
Speaker 2: Wand up in two gap like that.
Speaker 4: But what I did see in this game, and maybe
Speaker 4: this is maybe a new wrinkle for him and them
Speaker 4: just trying to play to his strengths, is him being
Speaker 4: able to shoot that gap and then make the offense
Speaker 4: shot to guess what he's doing, or come back around
Speaker 4: and stunt the backside a gap and allow guys to flow.
Speaker 2: And do things like that.
Speaker 4: But what eminently seemed like was the better part to
Speaker 4: me and this defense was absolutely seeing what you just said,
Speaker 4: those overshown being able to flow and run downhill, Hendrix
Speaker 4: being able to flow and run downhill. It made life
Speaker 4: so much better for that second level. And it just
Speaker 4: it just gave me those you know, the not very
Speaker 4: but guys like number fifty two Ray Lewis, guys like
Speaker 4: that that would flow and you always had an a.
Speaker 2: LOADI noda you always have.
Speaker 4: So you had a guy up front that really controlled
Speaker 4: that defense because he was the person that anchored that
Speaker 4: defense down in the middle, and if he was the
Speaker 4: one getting blown back, then the whole defense was compromised.
Speaker 4: And that's what I've been seeing these last couple of games,
Speaker 4: the defense be compromised, and guys like number fifty five
Speaker 4: losson like we hadn't lost, you know, we hadn't seen
Speaker 4: much from him, and the obviously we wanted to know
Speaker 4: what he was. Man lost and gave you some good reps.
Speaker 4: I'mb A fifty five gave you some good reps. And
Speaker 4: maybe he's a one trick pony with the bull rush
Speaker 4: aspect of it, but he and also Chauncey Golston, Chauncey Golsting,
Speaker 4: like you said, one hundred miles per hour.
Speaker 2: That's whenever I'm wrong, I'm going I'm fast, I'm going wrong,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go fast, run through your face.
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you, I'm seeing him and just seeing
Speaker 4: him put the extra hustle in it. But that to
Speaker 4: me was the difference in that game last night. Now
Speaker 4: here's the other part about it. Malik Neighbors is the
Speaker 4: real deal. Dog.
Speaker 2: He is the real deal.
Speaker 4: Everybody anything they wanted, man, And I think coming into this,
Speaker 4: I wanted to kind of psyche myself out out. He
Speaker 4: did that versus them, he won't do that versus us,
Speaker 4: And man, he went out there and he played some
Speaker 4: ball and seeing our secondary have to make those adjustments.
Speaker 4: And I know we said we're gonna pick up on
Speaker 4: this a little bit later, but that was the perfect
Speaker 4: time to do it. Is the corner back play, but
Speaker 4: also the safety play. You being a form of safety
Speaker 4: for the Dallas Cowboys the Jacksonville Jaguars, you know a
Speaker 4: thing or two about playing the position.
Speaker 2: What just overall, I don't want to ask you for.
Speaker 4: A grade, but just in your expert opinion about the
Speaker 4: secondary and specifically the safeties, what have you been seeing
Speaker 4: from those guys and what do you question or what
Speaker 4: could they do better or what are they doing best
Speaker 4: to make this all flow well?
Speaker 6: I'm gonna start with the safeties, and when you talk about,
Speaker 6: you know, safety player, I believe Malik Hooker.
Speaker 2: This was probably one of his better games.
Speaker 6: When you talk about it out there, this guy is
Speaker 6: predominantly in a deep part of the field. He's that
Speaker 6: kind of ad Redish player that kind of has to
Speaker 6: roam back and forth and make sure nothing gets over
Speaker 6: top of his head. And we've seen that happen on
Speaker 6: occasion so far this season, especially that Baltimore game. You know,
Speaker 6: he was one of the he was victimized by a
Speaker 6: post corner that went right over his head. To me,
Speaker 6: he went out there and he made sure that nothing
Speaker 6: super explosive was getting over the middle. Yes, Daniel Jones
Speaker 6: was dotting this team up between you know, five and
Speaker 6: fifteen yards, He was dotting this team up, but those
Speaker 6: big time explosive plays, Malie Hooker made sure everything was
Speaker 6: kind of kept in front of him on at least
Speaker 6: on his side of the field. Now, when you talk
Speaker 6: about the corner play out there, there was a lot
Speaker 6: left to be desired, and that's something that's gonna worry me.
Speaker 2: And I hope and pray that dron Bland is gonna
Speaker 2: get back.
Speaker 6: Quick because we saw from the booth out there, the
Speaker 6: young man that they traded for during the off season.
Speaker 2: It just wasn't it just wasn't up to par, you know.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm trying to be as nice as I
Speaker 6: can when you talk about this, but it just wasn't
Speaker 6: up to par. I mean, the man was biting on
Speaker 6: double moves. And there's an old line, I forget. One
Speaker 6: of my offensive coordinators used to say it all the
Speaker 6: time to Dave's Brian when he got one of these
Speaker 6: corners out there, we got a fish on the hook.
Speaker 6: We got a fish on the hook. And you saw
Speaker 6: Daniel Jones in this offense. Make sure that they went
Speaker 6: at Daniel or a Daniel. They win at Andrew Booth
Speaker 6: each and every time. And that's why he had to
Speaker 6: come out of that game, because they were going at
Speaker 6: that man each and every time.
Speaker 2: And it was just like after a while, you could see.
Speaker 6: His confidence just slowly fade because he was not even
Speaker 6: trying to play press. He was like, y'all can have
Speaker 6: all that underneath it as I all get people to touchdown.
Speaker 6: But it was giving up those fifteen yards, those ten yarders.
Speaker 6: That was really just like, man, you're questioning your own
Speaker 6: skill set out there. You know, as a corner, you
Speaker 6: gotta have that short term memory. You're gonna get beat.
Speaker 6: You know, guys in this league are out standing on
Speaker 6: the officer side of the football, So you're gonna get beat,
Speaker 6: but you gotta have that short term memory to realize that, hey,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be here, I'm gonna be here all day.
Speaker 6: And I saw that confidence slowly fade from Booth. So
Speaker 6: when they brought his replacement in there, I don't want
Speaker 6: to butcher his name.
Speaker 2: I'm a butcher. I don't want to do it. I
Speaker 2: love ar Warri number twenty seven. He went out there
Speaker 2: and he fought, He fought.
Speaker 6: He got beat too, but he fought out there, and
Speaker 6: that's what you gotta have in the secondary. You gotta
Speaker 6: have that short term memory. But overall, when I look
Speaker 6: at this secondary, because the pressure it just wasn't there
Speaker 6: on Dane Joney, the pressure it wasn't there.
Speaker 2: And he was able to dot these guys up.
Speaker 6: And that's something that's concerning to me because you know what,
Speaker 6: they love to play his own coverage and Zimmer system
Speaker 6: and we get all that, but you're gonna have to
Speaker 6: go against teams where eventually you're gonna have to try
Speaker 6: to lock up and outside of digs out there, are
Speaker 6: we confident that these guys can win these one on ones.
Speaker 2: Mo League Neighbors is a rookie.
Speaker 6: He's a dog, but he was a rookie out there,
Speaker 6: and they made that man look like he was you know,
Speaker 6: Odell Beckaman back in his prime.
Speaker 2: I mean it was.
Speaker 6: It was a lot left to be desired in that
Speaker 6: back end. But as newly and as everybody always says,
Speaker 6: the back don't work without the front, and you gotta
Speaker 6: get that rush out there. And to me, that's why
Speaker 6: I'm praying at the big bazooka, the missile gets back
Speaker 6: extremely fast because without him there is no pressure.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna be real about that, there's no pressure.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: Zimmer tried to bring some some slot pressure, some safety
Speaker 6: pressure in there, but then you're leaving you're already extremely
Speaker 6: th in secondary out there to get exposed. And if
Speaker 6: they had a better quarterback out there, I'm keeping in
Speaker 6: a hunting. If they had a better quarterback out there,
Speaker 6: a lot of things differently might have happened. Because he
Speaker 6: had some wide receivers that were behind these defensive backs
Speaker 6: throughout this game, but Daniel Jones wasn't able to hit
Speaker 6: him out there. So to me, I'm slightly concerned about
Speaker 6: this secondary going forward.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: This is one of the great things about working here
Speaker 4: at Dallascowboys dot Com. Obviously is the taj Mahel Football.
Speaker 4: Other than that, but still you get an opportunity to
Speaker 4: talk with you know, Super Bowl champions, all Pros, Pro Bowls,
Speaker 4: guys that have done it at a high level. You know,
Speaker 4: guys that have done all those things. So when you
Speaker 4: talk about you know, the position play and you know, wins, losses,
Speaker 4: things like that, you always get it put into perspective,
Speaker 4: you know, from guys that obviously can tell you. And
Speaker 4: I think for me as an analystis broadcaster to be
Speaker 4: able to feed off of that, to just see, all right,
Speaker 4: this is what I'm what I'm watching on tape in
Speaker 4: these safeties and I'm seeing these guys over committing over,
Speaker 4: you know, pretty much just taking bad angles.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will say that because that last throw it
Speaker 6: was like I think it was like thirty second on.
Speaker 2: That last jo that was a bad angle.
Speaker 6: Like if you know, half a step this way or
Speaker 6: that way, and my man's I think his name was h. Robinson,
Speaker 6: number seventeen, so that could have been a tub man.
Speaker 2: So that that is something I won't say. The angles
Speaker 2: out here is, you know, there's a lot left to
Speaker 2: be the act. I just put it like that, No,
Speaker 2: and and things like that.
Speaker 4: I think, especially when I was watching the Baltimore games,
Speaker 4: it was it was less bad angles in this game
Speaker 4: versus the Baltimore game got better, and you know, I
Speaker 4: questioned whether if that had anything to do with King
Speaker 4: hero You know this decisions were made.
Speaker 2: You didn't take that same angle last time.
Speaker 4: But anyway, that's a little bit more anxious to run
Speaker 4: into the five seven, two hundred and five pounds running
Speaker 4: back they ad back there. But you know some of
Speaker 4: those angles that I've been seeing in some of those games,
Speaker 4: just talking about guys playing hero Ball. To me, when
Speaker 4: you have a good safety, you know, when you have
Speaker 4: a good state. The ed Reads of the world, the
Speaker 4: Troy Polamalu's of the world. Even to to this day,
Speaker 4: Minka Fitzpatrick is one of those guys.
Speaker 2: He's a dog. When you watch him after, you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a good what it looks like. That's what it
Speaker 2: looked like. And so like, I'm just seeing our safeties
Speaker 2: here lately.
Speaker 4: And that's why I say, guys that look like they're
Speaker 4: playing in a new defense. I'm seeing angles, especially from
Speaker 4: like Donovan Wilson. I'm seeing things out of Donovan Wilson
Speaker 4: that I hadn't seen before. And going back to this,
Speaker 4: I think it's fourth quarter, third quarter. It was a
Speaker 4: fourth down and the Giants went for plenty fourth downs,
Speaker 4: but Donald has the guy dead to rights and.
Speaker 2: He misses tackling.
Speaker 6: What tackling was an issue and it's been an issue
Speaker 6: all season long. And when you talk about Donald and
Speaker 6: Wilson here reminds me a lot of my running mate
Speaker 6: that I had here at Dallas and JJ Wilcox.
Speaker 2: I mean that they will come at.
Speaker 6: You one hundred miles an hour, and if they catch you,
Speaker 6: now you're gonna get lit up. They catch you, it's
Speaker 6: gonna be a light up show. But you know, if
Speaker 6: they don't, it's a big time with because I mean,
Speaker 6: they come at it one hundred miles and but and
Speaker 6: these guys are throwing shoulders and throwing elbows. I don't
Speaker 6: know what happened, but it used to be you know,
Speaker 6: you had to hit with a shoulder and wrap up.
Speaker 6: You know, it wasn't always about the big hitting coming
Speaker 6: in there and causing this huge collision.
Speaker 2: We love those.
Speaker 6: And when you're in a phone booth, in that box
Speaker 6: and you could just t off on somebody, amazing, But
Speaker 6: when you're in that open field, you gotta wrap up.
Speaker 6: And if it takes you, you know, going down and
Speaker 6: wrapping up that ankle and that man kind of dragging
Speaker 6: you for two yards, at least you getting down all right.
Speaker 6: When you with out there and that man gets other
Speaker 6: an extra five ten yards, that's when it really hurts you.
Speaker 6: That's that leaky, leaky yard as we talk about. So
Speaker 6: to me, the tackling, it's got to get a lot
Speaker 6: better in the open field. And the secondary wasn't the
Speaker 6: only ones out there missing tackles in the open field.
Speaker 6: But overall, i'd like to see, you know, maybe it's
Speaker 6: early in the season and maybe they'll get you know,
Speaker 6: the used to because they didn't do any preseason action,
Speaker 6: but they got to get better than the tackling.
Speaker 4: What's going to hurt them, man, we'll talking about getting
Speaker 4: drug and having to do better. We got to talk
Speaker 4: about our offensive line and some usual suspects that we
Speaker 4: have on our offensive line. Man, But either way, this
Speaker 4: is the player's lounge and it is victorm Friday. We
Speaker 4: hand it out loafs earlier. Man, I don't know you're
Speaker 4: going to take your us home. Man, feed the family.

Speaker 4: This is the Player's Lounge. He is Barry Church and
Speaker 4: I am Heck Maharrison. Newie Scruggs is on his way
Speaker 4: to Manhattan right now. So yeah, he's gonna be out.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking we're gonna see newly to Tuesday. So Tuesday, yeahah,
Speaker 4: so that a lot of things going on.
Speaker 2: And look, man, we gotta give it up to Newie
Speaker 2: right now. Ah, you're right, man, I'm glad he ain't
Speaker 2: here to hear this. Man, give it up. Man.
Speaker 4: So we picked scores, and I don't know where he
Speaker 4: picked how. I don't even know how he came up
Speaker 4: with this score.
Speaker 2: Inside of info. I'm saying something new. He scruggs. His
Speaker 2: score was nineteen fourteen. It's crazy. How the hell.
Speaker 4: The hell nineteen No way, he called it good thing.
Speaker 4: He's not a betting man, you know what. The other
Speaker 4: part is that this offensive line, obviously we pull out
Speaker 4: the win.
Speaker 2: But Barry, I just look, this is Look.
Speaker 4: I don't want to be a part of the crowd
Speaker 4: that overreacts to anything. But when I see Tyler Geydon
Speaker 4: and I understand playing the left tackle position one is
Speaker 4: the premier position on the offensive line other than the quarterback.
Speaker 4: You have to have a guy that can hold down
Speaker 4: the fort. You have some of the best players in
Speaker 4: the National Football League. San Francisco definitely has one that
Speaker 4: is that sets the tone for everything that they do.
Speaker 4: But man, I'm watching guiding and I'm saying to myself,
Speaker 4: Dak watch out, yeah, Dak.
Speaker 2: The blindside, right, yeah, Dak, watch out.
Speaker 4: Thibodeau on one man, he went up up, went upfield,
Speaker 4: swept back in underneath, and I'm telling you, Tyler Guidon
Speaker 4: didn't even have a chance to put a hand on him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Fact and things like that to me, Barry, it worries
Speaker 4: me and It concerns me when you have the hinest
Speaker 4: paid quarterback in the National Football League one bull rush
Speaker 4: your way or one you know, swim move or whatever
Speaker 4: away from being hit in the back.
Speaker 2: Look, it's concerning.
Speaker 4: And we've had to deal with this game after game
Speaker 4: after game, and we're getting to the point where even
Speaker 4: with the penalties and things like that, it's just like
Speaker 4: it's I don't want to say disaster waiting to happen,
Speaker 4: but we're getting there. As it relates to the penalties
Speaker 4: and the sacks allowed. Yeah, yeah, one of those things
Speaker 4: that you know, you got to talk about it.
Speaker 2: It is the penalties, you know, it is.
Speaker 4: And to me, you know, I was talking to Nate
Speaker 4: Big Nate Newton yesterday while we were doing the pregame,
Speaker 4: and he said, he's getting beat on the consistent like
Speaker 4: you said, the up and undermove where he believes he's
Speaker 4: over setting because he's kind of worried about that player's
Speaker 4: speed and getting beat on the outside, but he's giving
Speaker 4: up a lot on the inside. And we saw Thibodeaux,
Speaker 4: we saw Burns, you know, using that to their advantage,
Speaker 4: hitting them with that outside step, getting them to open
Speaker 4: up and then boom, using their speed to come right
Speaker 4: back inside.
Speaker 6: And I don't know, I didn't play the offensive line,
Speaker 6: but I don't know if it's a strength thing, a
Speaker 6: technique thing, whatever the case may be. But once they
Speaker 6: get to that inside leverage on them, they seem to
Speaker 6: be able to take that half man, that half shoulder
Speaker 6: wherever he's at and kind of drive him right back
Speaker 6: into the quarterback and either getting the sack causing a
Speaker 6: pressure or forcing Dak Prescott to get off his mark,
Speaker 6: get out of the pocket and start, you know, scrambling
Speaker 6: around trying to make something happen. And that's when it
Speaker 6: gets tough, you know, for a quarterback because we always,
Speaker 6: you know, defensively, we've been taught that that inside pressure
Speaker 6: is the hardest at the quarterback. Don Brady used to
Speaker 6: hate it with people be right up into your face.
Speaker 2: You try to.
Speaker 6: Step up in the pocket and you're like, oh man,
Speaker 6: I got deal with this big dude right here. And
Speaker 6: you know, if you get that edge pressure, they can
Speaker 6: always step up and kind of finangle their way inside
Speaker 6: the pocket. But when you got guys on the outside
Speaker 6: being able to swim inside and getting that interior pressure,
Speaker 6: I mean, that's that causes a little bit of concern
Speaker 6: out there, and we all know guidance on the left side,
Speaker 6: the blind side, and there's there comes to time and
Speaker 6: a point where you start to say, man, do we
Speaker 6: need to put some more resources towards helping him? Do
Speaker 6: we need to have some chipping guys out there as
Speaker 6: a tight end, maybe Ferguson or hell Boogie out there
Speaker 6: trying to chip or running back going over to his side.
Speaker 2: Because as of as that.
Speaker 6: Game progressed, you saw, they were kind of like, all right, man,
Speaker 6: we're trying to give it to you now, we're trying to,
Speaker 6: you know, let you do what you gotta do on
Speaker 6: that outside to be that premier left tackle. But time
Speaker 6: and time again he was, you know, either getting pressured
Speaker 6: on or like you said, he was getting hit or sack.
Speaker 6: So you know, maybe we should talk to the big
Speaker 6: name dude and to see what he knows about it.
Speaker 6: But to me, it's just like, man, you know, he's
Speaker 6: left a lot to be desired these first couple of
Speaker 6: games playing that left tackle position.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: Look, man, here's the deal about me. Man, I Nate
Speaker 4: Newton is the only friend that I have that is
Speaker 4: an offensive lineman. I don't hang with offensive line. Tell you, man,
Speaker 4: there's great people. But hey, you know I call him
Speaker 4: despicable humans. Man, I'm telling you that. I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: Despicable fellas. Man.
Speaker 4: They do so much damage. Man, They roll on you,
Speaker 4: get your other They do so many dirty things to you. Man.
Speaker 4: With you know, having those conversations with Nate Newton and
Speaker 4: not just I kid about despicable humans, but either way,
Speaker 4: having that opportunity to talk to somebody like him, and
Speaker 4: you know it's to me, I think, as Nata said
Speaker 4: to me, it's just getting out leveraged, you know, being
Speaker 4: you know, not being able to step out completely. And
Speaker 4: when he does, I mean he's too far over his
Speaker 4: skis one way or another, and the guy's able here
Speaker 4: to move on him and he gets beat badly. To me,
Speaker 4: when I look at him, I'm just talking about physicality,
Speaker 4: eyeball testings, you know, Like I guess we're spoiled because
Speaker 4: we used to have a guy that set out there
Speaker 4: six seven six ' eight, three hundred and fifteen pounds
Speaker 4: and he was chiseled out.
Speaker 2: Of grant and a dog from rookie season, you know,
Speaker 2: and he fight seven.
Speaker 4: I mean, he had heavy hands, man, and he would
Speaker 4: beat pound on dudes and you would see that, you
Speaker 4: know what it was happening over a game man, and
Speaker 4: at the end of it, you just like, man, that is
Speaker 4: hard to get around somebody that that that big and
Speaker 4: physical and just not allowing you any room. On the
Speaker 4: other side, when I look at Guiding and I know
Speaker 4: that he's a rookie, they have so much that he
Speaker 4: needs to improve on.
Speaker 2: But getting in that weight room, get he doesn't look
Speaker 2: very strong to me. That's that's the thing I was taught.
Speaker 6: Like to me, when you go out there and you know,
Speaker 6: I played against tier and I played against some of
Speaker 6: the best out there. When they put them hands on you,
Speaker 6: even if you beat them on the inside and they
Speaker 6: got one punch on you, guys was feeling that.
Speaker 2: You you can see it on tape. Oh man, get
Speaker 2: my chest, my.
Speaker 6: Chest, Like I don't see that when guys beat him
Speaker 6: on the inside, like yesterday, he would get the.
Speaker 2: Hands on him and they would kind of just get
Speaker 2: through there, let me right through there.
Speaker 6: And to me, it's just like I said, I don't
Speaker 6: know if it's a strength issue, a technique issue, or
Speaker 6: whatever the case may be, but the hands just don't
Speaker 6: seem heavy or punishing enough. And like I said, I've
Speaker 6: been spoiled because I played with you know, Big seven seven.
Speaker 4: When he put them palls on you, it was a
Speaker 4: different story. You stopped exactly. We want to pick these games, man.
Speaker 4: We talked about the victory. We had the twenty four
Speaker 4: hour rule on no matter what, we got a rough
Speaker 4: patch ahead. Don't get comfortable, Cowboy Nation, because after this

Speaker 4: the Detroit Lions. Was it Detroit? Then we have a bye,
