Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is the
Speaker 1: Player's Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at
Speaker 1: the Star. Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCray, heck
Speaker 1: Ma Harrison, and NEWI scruggs Players Lounge Tuesday. Let's right,
Speaker 1: Barry Church, heck Ma Harrison, Danny McCray, I am New
Speaker 1: He scrugs. Lots to get to today. The Cowboys finishing
Speaker 1: up the regular season on Sunday up there in Landover, Maryland.
Speaker 1: They are a five and a half point favorite to
Speaker 1: beat the Commanders, who were eliminated on Sunday. As Carson
Speaker 1: wins Big trash Can Carson Wentz's got the start. Left
Speaker 1: hand up um Man. Ron Rivera has now put himself
Speaker 1: squarely on the hot seat because people up there in
Speaker 1: DC are like, hey, man, why in the world you
Speaker 1: go back to Carson Wentz. You had Taylor Hai Ke
Speaker 1: Ron say need a spark. Carson Wentz delivered, no Sparky
Speaker 1: delivered the sparky. He delivered the spark. They he got booted,
Speaker 1: I mean, and they turned into Philly out there in
Speaker 1: d D theo, They booed the mascot Tutty, they booed
Speaker 1: the owner's wife and she was up on the screen
Speaker 1: for during cancer wearing its I mean, dude, they are
Speaker 1: they are just hot. They are hot. Bro Oh, Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz is mad, all right, Tutty's bad. That was the
Speaker 1: worst because so so I don't talk about just as
Speaker 1: they go down the line of just missing the mark.
Speaker 1: All the time, I'm trying to figure out what was
Speaker 1: worse that mascot the hog, major Tutty or that Shun
Speaker 1: Taylor statue that was not really a statue. And I'm
Speaker 1: just thinking of how has a franchise missed the mark
Speaker 1: on everything like that. I mean, it's just it's just bad.
Speaker 1: But no mark missed bigger than you throwing out Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: which hey, look I have fun because my boy J. P.
Speaker 1: Finley from NBC Sports in Washington. I'm like, dude, you
Speaker 1: know that whole little left hand up wraps on the guy.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, run him out there, please please. Rob
Speaker 1: mayn't get fired over this. And now, oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys get to run in and see this mass
Speaker 1: on Sunday. What made him think that he would give
Speaker 1: him a spark. Like if we looked at the totality
Speaker 1: of the season, what any imagination made you think, you
Speaker 1: know what, Wentz is gonna come in here, these guys
Speaker 1: up and give us a spark. Week Man, he was
Speaker 1: grasping for straws. He crapped, struggling. I mean, for real,
Speaker 1: the commanders have been on the struggle bus. Ron Rivera
Speaker 1: is looking around. This offense can't get going. Wasn't going
Speaker 1: on the Heineken and down the end of the bench,
Speaker 1: nailed to the end of the bench. Was Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: just tossing the football? You need to help? Why was
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz out to come home? Man? Carson Wentz got Philly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that same thing that made run and very put them
Speaker 1: back in the same thing that got him up there
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. Yeah, all right, it's the same thing you
Speaker 1: wanted to Why why you get away all It's the
Speaker 1: same thing that got him back in the NFC East
Speaker 1: going down head to Washington. It's the same thing that
Speaker 1: got him off the bench. Like, somebody has this some
Speaker 1: this unrealistic hope that Carson Wentz somehow is gonna turn
Speaker 1: into what you thought he was gonna be when he
Speaker 1: was supposed to win the MVP they Super year, when
Speaker 1: Nick Voles came in and actually closed it out. It's
Speaker 1: you look at him. You're like, man, like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe just maybe some min you magic, maybe maybe yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe we get some of that. Give up on the guy, bro,
Speaker 1: it's done. He made his money. You know, he played
Speaker 1: well and sometime just over fun, you know, let him go.
Speaker 1: How many more people are gonna get fired one moment? Right, Look,
Speaker 1: so if you run out Heiinik and you lose, then
Speaker 1: you're okay. But this is one man where they are
Speaker 1: the fan base in the media, they're like, man, you
Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing for you. First off, you
Speaker 1: gave up two second round picks and you get it. It
Speaker 1: It got twenty eight million dollars, so you gave you
Speaker 1: so you gave away draft capital. The guy came out
Speaker 1: there and stunk, and nobody way to dude that you
Speaker 1: had on the bench making no money was already there.
Speaker 1: Um the owner had said, look, we finally got our
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. They he went out there. Then you're talking
Speaker 1: about Carson went and I was like, man, this is
Speaker 1: so um. Kellen Moore. You know who who next coach?
Speaker 1: She must be a hell of a practice player. Bro,
Speaker 1: he got it. I must have been on that scout team,
Speaker 1: dotting everybody else. Just no pressure, just oh, let me
Speaker 1: sling it, because there's just no way you can. You
Speaker 1: can't put that man back on the football field after
Speaker 1: you don't put you in the hole that he did
Speaker 1: in the earlier in the season. Like if there's a
Speaker 1: reason that undrafted Heineke came in here and took it,
Speaker 1: took your job. I mean there's a reason for that.
Speaker 1: Well he was hurt though he was went Scott hurt.
Speaker 1: Heineke came in and they went on, or you know,
Speaker 1: after having the losing streak, they went on. They want
Speaker 1: some games. So hey, look, if Ron wants to just
Speaker 1: stand his ground and run, WIT's out there on Sunday
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, because you know, the first step I
Speaker 1: think we're thinking about you. Heck, the first step is
Speaker 1: Cowboys beating Washington. Yeah. Then if ye if meet you magic,
Speaker 1: if met you, magic can figure out how to get away.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants gonna play. The Giants have pay
Speaker 1: Man so bad. So I thought about the bet. And
Speaker 1: here's the second thing. I thought about it like, Heck
Speaker 1: made me, you know, think you know, giants do heck
Speaker 1: a favorite win, Cowboys win, Cowboys win the NFC's But
Speaker 1: what doesn't this show you the Jalen hurts his really
Speaker 1: the MVP because they ain't won, They ain't won a
Speaker 1: game without it. I just on the struggle bussy. It's okay,
Speaker 1: he can't. It's not possible. No, so like nuts. My
Speaker 1: thing is that y'all c when Riverboat didn't know that
Speaker 1: he was being eliminated? Was he being sarcastical? Was that real? Nui?
Speaker 1: When you saw that he was like, he didn't know that?
Speaker 1: Come on, man, how did he not know that he
Speaker 1: was he could be eliminated? I feel bad for that
Speaker 1: fan base because you guys were too young. But when
Speaker 1: we grew up, that was a good organization. They had
Speaker 1: a waiting list, man, I mean they were, you know,
Speaker 1: winning championships with Joe getting Now, I mean it's it's
Speaker 1: a joke. I mean it's truly a joke. But I
Speaker 1: kind of don't. I don't want the owner the league.
Speaker 1: I want Ron to stay, I want Linda start this
Speaker 1: is I get so much joy out of out of
Speaker 1: all my buddies, who who are friends to watch this mess?
Speaker 1: And man don't know it? Go out to the eliminade,
Speaker 1: like what are you doing all week? He didn't know
Speaker 1: he had an opportunity to cover. So so I just
Speaker 1: want you had played it off? So wait, boy, wait,
Speaker 1: so way tell me I drawn up some different players.
Speaker 1: Don't real what made different calls? Dude, this is between
Speaker 1: Major Tuddy coming out here, family and Ron ain't know
Speaker 1: what was going on. I'll tell you. And now now
Speaker 1: it's Dallas weak, Dallas. I tell you that I am
Speaker 1: truly enjoying the mess in Washington. And and what do
Speaker 1: we all tell at least me? I talk about here
Speaker 1: all the players. You see these other guys, and you
Speaker 1: appreciate Mike McCarthy when you see what these others this is.
Speaker 1: People are paying millions of dollars. You got all these
Speaker 1: coaches say, ain't no analysts tell you mean? You got
Speaker 1: all these people on stand? Ain'tybody say? Hey, man, Chris
Speaker 1: Beam would have told you, man, right, you know, we
Speaker 1: gotta win. Right. We thought this is the preset, We're
Speaker 1: gonna give anybody a chance to play. But I'm confused though.
Speaker 1: Did that make a difference? You're trying to win the
Speaker 1: game or not. Well, I didn't know we could possibly
Speaker 1: lose this, so we just throw it out there if
Speaker 1: we look, we're still okay, We're still all right, and
Speaker 1: then we're probably possibly played next week for a chance
Speaker 1: to win. Like, how do you not know? How do
Speaker 1: you not know your path to getting into the playoffs?
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's hey, man, that's a tough one.
Speaker 1: But back to y'all, boys, I mean, I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, Gardener, miss you have you guys have thought
Speaker 1: about this? What was the fall off from Gardener? Miss you?
Speaker 1: The last time we saw him, he was balling on
Speaker 1: the budget, you know, three hundred yards versus Cowboys, and
Speaker 1: people had a lot of good things to say about him.
Speaker 1: He goes out versus Saints at home, at home, d Mac,
Speaker 1: don't do it, listen, don't do it. Come back sails.
Speaker 1: Like the Saints defense. I like the Saints defense. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know that they're no, they're no bad defense.
Speaker 1: That he went out there and played against it. He
Speaker 1: saw the Saint City week before that bad weather in
Speaker 1: the game, where you're thinking, man, Cleveland and all this
Speaker 1: this bad way they beat him it's not a bad
Speaker 1: defense that they're playing against. Uh and Garder mits you,
Speaker 1: like we said, it's Gardener mits you bro right, he's
Speaker 1: fitz Gardener Fitzpatrick No, and and I really just to
Speaker 1: see their offense and you guys there there really is
Speaker 1: some validity to what you're saying. The way that this
Speaker 1: offense looks without Jayla Hurts, it's a shadow of itself
Speaker 1: and them not being able to get that running game.
Speaker 1: They've bet to get that fixed in the next week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they gonna have problems. And I want to see how
Speaker 1: this offense is gonna look with Jalen Hurts because if
Speaker 1: he's nursing a shoulder injury, what is how does that
Speaker 1: change the way he operates in that repass offense. So
Speaker 1: what you said also takes me back to what remember
Speaker 1: when Colin Kaepernick was out of work, and what people
Speaker 1: are saying is, well, you can't have him as your
Speaker 1: backup because you don't want to have to have a
Speaker 1: drastically different offense for your backup quarterback than the starting quarterback. So,
Speaker 1: if I'm basing it on what people were saying about that,
Speaker 1: wise Gardner meant you in this offense, you can't do
Speaker 1: anything that Jalen Hurts was doing. You have to change
Speaker 1: your offense here and the Saints, whatever take they saw
Speaker 1: against the Cowboy, they just do this to this guy,
Speaker 1: do that to this guy, and then they couldn't do anything,
Speaker 1: which to me, just once again, just just really, I
Speaker 1: thought gave Jalen Hurts and validity for the MVP of
Speaker 1: here's the best team in league two weeks in a row. Man,
Speaker 1: They're they're they're struggling and may be the walk. They
Speaker 1: could be the walk. Car your decision right now, sitting
Speaker 1: in Philly knowing that Jalen Hurts, whatever information you have
Speaker 1: on his shoulder, saying all right, it ain't good this
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be at We gotta shoot him up
Speaker 1: every week seventy. Do you play him this Sunday first
Speaker 1: the Giants or do you sit him and anticipation to
Speaker 1: look we got a playoff run. We gotta make you
Speaker 1: gotta play him even if you gotta shoot him up
Speaker 1: like you gotta because you get the number, you get
Speaker 1: to buy. I don't know, no tell if you tell
Speaker 1: me that it can't get any if it's not gonna
Speaker 1: get any worse, Like, hey man, this is what it
Speaker 1: is until until the season's over with. Then you gotta
Speaker 1: look at playing Jaylen Hursts. Right, you can't get any worse.
Speaker 1: He's gonna feel this way throughout the rest of the
Speaker 1: playoffs no matter what happens. If the sprain is a
Speaker 1: six weeks whatever, all right, If not, we can be
Speaker 1: the best team in the league before Jayleen Hurst goes down.
Speaker 1: I have to have confidence in my team to say, right,
Speaker 1: if he's healthy and we got to play in the
Speaker 1: wild card, I rather have a healthy him for the
Speaker 1: wild Card then not have him for the rest of
Speaker 1: the playoffs. We don't know what the Giants will do
Speaker 1: this yet. The Giants is like, hey man, we're not
Speaker 1: playing people. But I just have a feeling that they won't,
Speaker 1: that they'll go out and play at Stars at least
Speaker 1: a half. They two injuries away from just being irrelevant
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You talked, ye lose Danny dives and
Speaker 1: if they lose sa Qua, who is injury from Dannys
Speaker 1: got that hamstring problems. So it's not it's not I'm
Speaker 1: in the realm possibility. Yeah, I wouldn't play. It's not
Speaker 1: like they about to make some run. I mean, you're
Speaker 1: you're you're you're you're golden anyway, nobody expects you to
Speaker 1: be here, So anything else you're seeing crazier things. See
Speaker 1: Marshall the seven to nine and shot the Saints who
Speaker 1: that anytime, if you have a running game and you
Speaker 1: can play defense, you have a chance to beat anybody.
Speaker 1: And we know that they have a dynamic running back
Speaker 1: Danny Dial can also be a mobile quarterback, and he's
Speaker 1: athletic enough that if you are in the game at
Speaker 1: the end, they can find a way to want to
Speaker 1: hold they can hold the ball long enough, or they
Speaker 1: can find the way the scores end. So don't play.
Speaker 1: If you're the giantstell player, I play. You can't find better, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're stuck at the position they're end. So
Speaker 1: I wouldn't play because you two injuries away from just
Speaker 1: being completely it's a rat. So based on that, then
Speaker 1: don't don't you play Hurts? If the Giants are only
Speaker 1: gonna play, don't you play Hurts, get yourself the number
Speaker 1: one seat and the buy heck well, because look, they're
Speaker 1: in a pickle because you see the way that your
Speaker 1: offense is not functioning without him, and you're leaving your
Speaker 1: defense essentially out to dry. And even though those guys
Speaker 1: can hunt and they are coming after the quarterback, they
Speaker 1: can only do that for so many quarters because of
Speaker 1: that aging as well. Let's just keep it real and
Speaker 1: that offense and the way that they've been running, you
Speaker 1: notice to be true, they keep that defense fresh because
Speaker 1: they run the ball the way that they do when
Speaker 1: you go three and out. Gardner minshe was a three
Speaker 1: and out machine. Dollars put ready who punts? He was
Speaker 1: in a minute if it's like that man guy, And
Speaker 1: so I think that that just changes the way that
Speaker 1: the Eagles are gonna play. They may approach this where
Speaker 1: it's like all hands on deck just to get that
Speaker 1: number one seed, but getting that number one seed and
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts being hurt, it's not gonna do them any
Speaker 1: good either. I look at the Giants, and I look
Speaker 1: at Brian day Bold, and I look at the school
Speaker 1: of thought that he comes from, and I think he
Speaker 1: plays his guys because he wants to go into the
Speaker 1: playoffs with some momentum. I gotta be honest with y'all.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not on board with this, this conversation
Speaker 1: about Gardner Minshew, because once we know that Gardner Minshew
Speaker 1: can play well, and we know that he can have
Speaker 1: bad games. We know that prior to this he put
Speaker 1: up three five on us was the top five defense,
Speaker 1: So it's not like he can't go out there and perform,
Speaker 1: and they got the faith to him to be able
Speaker 1: to go out there and do it. So I think
Speaker 1: they're looking at this as Saints went out there and
Speaker 1: play the hell of a game on defense, play the
Speaker 1: hell of a game, shut them down. They brought more
Speaker 1: intensity than the Eagles brought that game. So I think
Speaker 1: they still coming to that they can go out there
Speaker 1: and beat the Giants with Gardner Minshew at quarterback, who
Speaker 1: you don't want to be wrong after the first quarter. No, no,
Speaker 1: I mean if you save your quarterback then yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no wrong calling that one. So look to the
Speaker 1: NFL once again has done a great job of of
Speaker 1: making the final week interesting. AFC South, That's gonna be
Speaker 1: a heck of Jimmy Jacksonville for that one. Without a doubt, Jackson,
Speaker 1: do your boys do vall that deep? That defense is
Speaker 1: playing well, But I mean you've got the cowboys who
Speaker 1: just need to go handle their business against Washington. Hopefully,
Speaker 1: it's wins left hand up um and then the Giants
Speaker 1: Cowboys will see what the Giants do. If Brian Dabo
Speaker 1: wants to go out here and play and you know,
Speaker 1: send a message, we shall see him and he well
Speaker 1: shut up our phones from heck, I don't know, rest
Speaker 1: of you will not be returning the heatmos Tex. What's
Speaker 1: what's fun? Right? It's fun? What knocks out of the
Speaker 1: Lions because they played the Packers Seattle late down, so Seattle,
Speaker 1: so Seattle loss, that all of a sudden that Packers
Speaker 1: the Lions game is the winner. So like the possibilities
Speaker 1: for like this being, this being determining games in the
Speaker 1: final week of the season, how many yes, this is
Speaker 1: This is a fun week. And then you finish it
Speaker 1: off with with TCU yaday everything. This is everything the
Speaker 1: league wanted when they when they when they made these
Speaker 1: changes right here and then started to make sure that
Speaker 1: every game was a divisional game at the Intel it is.
Speaker 1: It is smart. So Thursday, I'm leaving to go out
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles, Lucky doll playing off the plane. We
Speaker 1: go get a rental car, we go hit Roscos Rosco.
Speaker 1: Which Roscos is the question? The one? Okay, no, no,
Speaker 1: nothing happened there. That's good. Good. A little more security there,
Speaker 1: but we're good. No good. I'm gonnanna hit Roscoe's and
Speaker 1: Randy's doing us. Then I'm gonna check in at the hotel.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's the living life. Man, how are you
Speaker 1: feeling about? How you feeling about that? You know they're
Speaker 1: playing with house money, Yeah, they're playing they're playing with
Speaker 1: house money. They're running back Mary de Mercado. He grew
Speaker 1: up in Englewood and he says it's a five minute
Speaker 1: drive from his house to the state and he's like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: everybody on top of the other players, all the guys
Speaker 1: are using their tickets. So we said, what's your ticket
Speaker 1: to me? He's like, yeah, it's gonna be a watch party.
Speaker 1: Got it's gonna be a watch party here. But um,
Speaker 1: what what? What a what a cool thing for him
Speaker 1: to sit up here and then you know you're gonna
Speaker 1: play in so Fight Stadium, five minute drive from your
Speaker 1: house and potentially winning national championship and start and start
Speaker 1: because Kendre Miller right now, they don't know where he
Speaker 1: is right now. So, um, I expect Georgia to be
Speaker 1: be be everything that they are there there deal with Nixon,
Speaker 1: but they'll they'll respect them more than Michigan did. The
Speaker 1: Michigan guys talk some stuff. It's about the play calling.
Speaker 1: I was what are we doing, Harrid? What envelope was
Speaker 1: handed up? I'm trying to figure out what you have
Speaker 1: to You have to be watching that play calling, saying
Speaker 1: to yourself, something's going on. There's a clone on the
Speaker 1: sideline's first drive, first play, fifty four yard run, cut
Speaker 1: off the red So everybody's thinking, oh boy, by somebody's thinking.
Speaker 1: So then they get it down to the two hardball calls.
Speaker 1: The time out, Yeah, cost time out. They go over
Speaker 1: there and talking, they're talking. They come out the time
Speaker 1: out literally because they talked all week long about we
Speaker 1: have the offensive line has been the offensive line of
Speaker 1: the year. Colls football, the last two big physical will
Speaker 1: all the stuff they were talking. Now a quarterbacks like, yeah,
Speaker 1: three three five defense. You know that's a lot of
Speaker 1: spaces in you. We like to run. So you know
Speaker 1: we're gonna show it what the Big ten's all about.
Speaker 1: So all all is talk. You are the Philly special
Speaker 1: too creative he is. He was the reason they locked
Speaker 1: two pick sixers fourteen points. So so once again you're
Speaker 1: throwing the pass out here that you complete against Minnesota,
Speaker 1: you complete against Purdue. But you talk about that big twelve.
Speaker 1: They snatching that the big twelve the crib. But just
Speaker 1: keep it real. Let's keep it real. I mean that
Speaker 1: quarterback wasn't very good all year, and so Michigan pretty
Speaker 1: much got things going through their running game. I love
Speaker 1: hardball man in his office. He got a lot of twelve.
Speaker 1: He got a lot of thirteen. He does a lot
Speaker 1: of I mean power running. He gets to the Fiesta Bow,
Speaker 1: the biggest game of the season for his team, and
Speaker 1: he turns into he didn't answer who brung him? What? What?
Speaker 1: What is this? You know what happened to him? What
Speaker 1: happened to painters is it's what happened to them. I
Speaker 1: ain't seen the dude plus thirteen bro a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: He's a wide receiver. He was a wide receiver. Recruited him.
Speaker 1: He's a wide receiver. I ain't seen the dude play
Speaker 1: that well from the linebacker position in the game, like
Speaker 1: stand out that much, Bro, Like he should have been
Speaker 1: in Alabama somewhere. Crazy, Remember Mama kin sue. He took
Speaker 1: it over like that crazy. It was everything was him.
Speaker 1: Everything was something on defense, that's film study, that's all
Speaker 1: of that. He wrecked that game. But I have no idea.
Speaker 1: They just talked all that stuff. Spot I know you've
Speaker 1: to go to commercial. Okay, speaking to talking all this stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, This is an example when you talk all
Speaker 1: this stuff. You came back it up now, my man,
Speaker 1: Jay are up there in bay. That's how you talk it.
Speaker 1: And then you walking all right? Gritted on him? Man,
Speaker 1: Look you know what he called called? He called traded.
Speaker 1: How did you do that against him? Twice? The dude
Speaker 1: went out. You watched the game, bro, I'm talking about
Speaker 1: quick jamming. Justin Jefferson has fallen to the ground. He did.
Speaker 1: He would not there and say this is gonna do
Speaker 1: what he did it. So I'm I want to spotlight
Speaker 1: him and say, hey, man, that's my LSU guy, and

Speaker 1: was gonna make a change. But I just want to
Speaker 1: see it. I need to see it finished. He out there,
Speaker 1: and how many cowboy fans are going It's a cowboy
Speaker 1: extravagands out there. I mean, last time I went, we
Speaker 1: pulled up and passed the uber lane, it was four ubers.
Speaker 1: It was a whole bunch of cowboys jerseys. And then
Speaker 1: the lack of respect from the local star athlete. Okay,
Speaker 1: so normally you know, star athlete, we church, we bring
Speaker 1: you out here. Even though you're from Pittsburgh and he's
Speaker 1: playing to say you wear the Cowboys jersey at the game.
Speaker 1: John Wall was a star player for the Cap the Wizards.
Speaker 1: He showed up in Emmy Smith jersey on the Cowboys side,
Speaker 1: on the on the on the on the sideline. He
Speaker 1: was on the day's handlin. So they're giving you the
Speaker 1: because you don't. They're giving you all the passes and
Speaker 1: you show up in the Cowboy got a stad Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you got here. Man, shout out to John Wall. Put
Speaker 1: this major. I mean, I want you to jump out
Speaker 1: the cake here looking not showing up in the Eagles
Speaker 1: jersey and the Cowboy game. You've been just I mean, so,
Speaker 1: so what's uh? Bryce, Bryce Harper, the Phillies, the Phillies outfielder,
Speaker 1: he grew up a Cowboy fan and the Philadelphia Yeah no, man,
Speaker 1: I'm an Eagle guy, you know. I mean Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 1: die Hard, Astro's guy die Hard. They Phillies facing Astro's
Speaker 1: the world here. No, I'm a Philly guy. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: a Philly guy. Mean, you know, got right, got switched up.
Speaker 1: Even though they got pictures of him when he was
Speaker 1: at Philadelphia wearing Astro's gear, the one up throwing throwing
Speaker 1: up a sign. But but even he for that you
Speaker 1: that's like man in DC, you don't even have to
Speaker 1: because they're not roasting you. They're not cooking you that
Speaker 1: oh there he is no repercussions. Man, just on the
Speaker 1: sideline chilling. I would back Brian. There ain't no way.
Speaker 1: How about the car with the smith. You can't even
Speaker 1: walk into the into the if you take something like
Speaker 1: if I took you up to UM to LSU to
Speaker 1: go to the waiting room and you had on some
Speaker 1: Toledo stuff, they're not letting you in. It ain't don't
Speaker 1: even matter that they don't care you wrapping LSU and
Speaker 1: I went to unvacual LSU stuff on to work out
Speaker 1: because my coach was the nah. But this would it
Speaker 1: just would be you showing up in bat rouge with
Speaker 1: some roll tied up. That's how bad? Is this your
Speaker 1: biggest rival? Man? But John Wall showed up as their
Speaker 1: guests and the m smith Jerry's. They'm like wow that
Speaker 1: so the cowboy fan there, they are going to take
Speaker 1: over the stadium. When you see people tailgating, it's a
Speaker 1: whole big mix. Yeah, it's a whole. It's crazy. He
Speaker 1: was like, Wow, this is they They now running your stadium. Um,
Speaker 1: when the Packers were up in the whole bunch of
Speaker 1: cheese heads are taking over the crab cryd taking over.
Speaker 1: That's how bad it is man up there. Indeed, that's
Speaker 1: how that's how Daniel Snyder has demolished a fan base
Speaker 1: that he has. So I won't be there, but man,
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to see it because literally, game going on,
Speaker 1: you don't know if a call happens, you don't know
Speaker 1: who's the coach side. Is good on that man? It's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like that man until uh and Ron River he's
Speaker 1: now coaching forward life. It's a rap for him. Man,
Speaker 1: got to either made that decision after the first of all,
Speaker 1: why would you try? Like we gotta bring Wentz here
Speaker 1: and in the beginning for any reason, like why would
Speaker 1: you He's gonna be our savior. You've seen what he
Speaker 1: did up there with the Colts, just his last game,
Speaker 1: just Jacksonville. Yeah, they got a plan to go to
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and it gave a PIX and they said
Speaker 1: at a round table and made this decision with other
Speaker 1: people with brain trust. Right, Look, that's the best. They
Speaker 1: all are gonna lay in and it doesn't matter to me. Look,
Speaker 1: I love this train wreck. I am not. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the game away from home, you know, home,
Speaker 1: away from home. All of our guys are gonna be there.
Speaker 1: Um you Going into this season, we talked about the
Speaker 1: Commanders and how they look offensive line, that receivers, receiving cords.
Speaker 1: They got scary terry. Dude, you take our scary terry.
Speaker 1: You know. We talked about what's this my guy Dotson
Speaker 1: and all of those guys in the year that they
Speaker 1: were gonna have and dog, I mean, look, guys, at
Speaker 1: the end of the season, if you thought that we
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to win the NFC East legitimately, after
Speaker 1: the way that the Eagles had been playing, like, you
Speaker 1: would have said, heck, wife, man, there you go. They're
Speaker 1: hoping again. We pulled out the menu and they they
Speaker 1: got excit, how many how many eight? How many days?
Speaker 1: Is stake age X we're gonna have to pass for
Speaker 1: because the Eagles. But even even with that, was that
Speaker 1: was But even with all of that, here where you
Speaker 1: here you are with an opportunity to win the NFC East.
Speaker 1: And I guess the big we're talking about these other teams,
Speaker 1: but if you're the Cowboys, you're going into this game
Speaker 1: beat up too. And so what's the mentality for because
Speaker 1: we look, we haven't started fast all season, when it
Speaker 1: hain't been a game with twenty eight zero halftime, go ahead,
Speaker 1: we sit our guys. So I don't anticipate that being
Speaker 1: in the reality this week, do you no? But they
Speaker 1: got the Eagles play at the same time. Its us right, exactly,
Speaker 1: look at that. You gotta be you gotta play, Yeah,
Speaker 1: gotta play exactly, there's no way out, Like you can't
Speaker 1: afford not the player and lose the game because you
Speaker 1: didn't play, guys, and then the Eagles go out there
Speaker 1: and lose. Yeah, like you can't do it, which you're smart.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they do in soccer in the
Speaker 1: Premier League. You want everybody go at the same time
Speaker 1: here because let's compete. Let's see what it is. But
Speaker 1: if you Mike McCarthy and he spoke about it, it's
Speaker 1: press conversation. You need to just go out and play,
Speaker 1: you know, just you need to go out and play. Um,
Speaker 1: they aren't playing the Crispas. They need to be, So
Speaker 1: go out here, You've got a game prepare, and then
Speaker 1: where it lands is where it lands. So the cowboys
Speaker 1: have their own business to handle. And clearly Philadelphia's got there.
Speaker 1: Oh but you've got You gotta know they're feeling it.
Speaker 1: You gotta know they're feeling it. And if I'm their coach, Sirianni,
Speaker 1: I have Jalen hurt to play, I do like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll run a lot, but at least have
Speaker 1: him have the thread of running and tell him get down.
Speaker 1: But but it is bad enough for him not to
Speaker 1: be able to do it correctly and throwing shoulder and
Speaker 1: that's it. Well, you got men show so you can
Speaker 1: go pulling. Look, it's it's it's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of fun to watch. I will I will be in
Speaker 1: my hotel room, uh, enjoying the game. Or maybe I'll
Speaker 1: go to El Segunda the little places may have. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll go. Maybe I'll go to Elsa gun Down. No,
Speaker 1: I'm a little ain't a Monica's too far. But Manhattan

Speaker 1: her here. Game starting at ten am two, So I'm

Speaker 1: Hey Ma Harrison, yep, appreciate it. Danny mccrane yep. Barry Church,
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys Safeties. I'm gonna scrudge. This is the players
Speaker 1: I just brought to you by Tostitos. I was not
Speaker 1: aware of what was happening last night until I saw
Speaker 1: the text that you guys had. The text chain about
Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin. And then once I about forty five minutes
Speaker 1: later got to a point just clicked on Twitter and
Speaker 1: saw saw the video and um Man speechless to speechless,
Speaker 1: and and I know you guys were talking about prayers
Speaker 1: and you had seen anything. So just reading your text, like, wow,
Speaker 1: is it first time? Just this sounds really bad and
Speaker 1: it was beyond what you guys had texted to see that.
Speaker 1: So Danny, I'll start with you, um your thoughts about
Speaker 1: what you saw. It was scary. It was scary. Um One.
Speaker 1: When you first see it, it just it doesn't look
Speaker 1: that bad, and it looks like one of those hints
Speaker 1: that you usually see where like a Ryan Shazier where
Speaker 1: you got your head down to something that you got
Speaker 1: like a possible spinal cord injury. Just looks like a
Speaker 1: routine tackle. And then you see him stand up and
Speaker 1: he falls, and that's when you're like, oh right, so
Speaker 1: now you automatically assuming, like man, something internal. So now
Speaker 1: your mind is just spending so we're like, man, like,
Speaker 1: what is going on with the guy. And then once
Speaker 1: you are able to see all the players who can
Speaker 1: really see what's going on, and you see them crying
Speaker 1: and clinching clinching the hearts and like really praying with
Speaker 1: each other. So that's when you realize that it's something
Speaker 1: really really going on because what they're seeing is way
Speaker 1: worse than what we're seeing. So super super sad, super
Speaker 1: emotional just to see players like that, because as former players,
Speaker 1: we've been out there with brothers who have gotten heard
Speaker 1: you know, took him a while to get up and stuff,
Speaker 1: so we've experienced something like it, but nothing is close
Speaker 1: to what it was. And I can think about what
Speaker 1: it felt like just knowing that Bury towards Achilles broke
Speaker 1: his nose, he's down there, you know, stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and you're like, man, that's that's my dought, Like we
Speaker 1: need to make sure he okay. So I can't imagine
Speaker 1: like the emotion that those guys are feeling. It's it's sad,
Speaker 1: it's scary, and it just makes you remember, man, dangerous,
Speaker 1: the game is dangerous. The game is dangerous. Like, you know,
Speaker 1: people go out there, they put their lives on the
Speaker 1: line to play the game, and we know we signed
Speaker 1: up for it, but it's still dangerous. Yeah, And uh man,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm really praying for the guy, praying for
Speaker 1: the team playing, praying for him, his family. T Higgins,
Speaker 1: who who he was tackling. Yeah, man, you just you
Speaker 1: gotta make sure the guy's minds are right. Um. And
Speaker 1: I'm so glad they didn't ask them or force them
Speaker 1: to go out there and play and finish that game,
Speaker 1: because you can't get your mind right back in the
Speaker 1: situation to go out there and play like that. And
Speaker 1: the way to get others hurt and yourself hurt is
Speaker 1: to go out there and play that game with your
Speaker 1: mind not in the right in the right place. So prayers,
Speaker 1: prayers to the family and him, man, and just waiting
Speaker 1: to hear the news that he's okay. Yeah, definitely, prayers
Speaker 1: to the whole Handling family. Um. You know that was
Speaker 1: that was a scary sight, man, because he said the hit,
Speaker 1: the hit just looked routine, like it was just like,
Speaker 1: you know, wrap them up, bring him down, and we'll
Speaker 1: go up out our business. But as you said, when
Speaker 1: he stood up and kind of just shook his head
Speaker 1: and then boom, just fainting and you see the back
Speaker 1: of his head hit the turf like that, him just
Speaker 1: go lifeless. I mean that that's scary. And then I
Speaker 1: was in the same situation when you where I'm thinking, Okay,
Speaker 1: he'll come out, make sure he's all right. He'll have
Speaker 1: if they you know, the stretcher comes and takes him off,
Speaker 1: he'll do one of those hand ways, and we're like,
Speaker 1: all right, everything's everything will be all right eventually. But
Speaker 1: then they started talking about you know, CPR and you know,
Speaker 1: having to use an aed machine to try to jump
Speaker 1: his heart back up. I mean, that's when it gat
Speaker 1: extremely scary. And then you saw the faces on every
Speaker 1: one of those players. Man, they were just in complete fear,
Speaker 1: like you seeing guys toughest nails, you know, going against
Speaker 1: three hundred pounders, going against all these people each and
Speaker 1: every day. And they looked shook, like they wanted no
Speaker 1: parts of that football game. And then you saw you know,
Speaker 1: Dick trying to rally the crew up. But there's just
Speaker 1: no way they could have went out there and finished
Speaker 1: the game. And I don't understand, I don't really know,
Speaker 1: you know, when Buffalo can you know, turn around and
Speaker 1: play again, Like your mentality, mentality has got to be
Speaker 1: completely different after seeing something like that on the football field,
Speaker 1: because it it could have happened to anybody, you know,
Speaker 1: I assume that man was extremely healthy. I mean he
Speaker 1: was a young twenty four, Like I assume everything was
Speaker 1: okay with them, and for that to happen, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's a scary sight. So, you know, prayers to
Speaker 1: the whole Hambling family, the whole Buffalo organization. You know,
Speaker 1: I hope everything man works out, but man, that that's
Speaker 1: that's scary. Man, that's just scary. No, it was a
Speaker 1: it was a tough night. It was a tough night
Speaker 1: to especially to continue to see to replay it and
Speaker 1: obviously for me as a color analyst listening to Joe
Speaker 1: Buck and Troy Aikman try and get through their thoughts
Speaker 1: at the same time. Um, you know, and kudos to
Speaker 1: them everybody at the ESPN that tried to just kind
Speaker 1: of get through that situation. It's hard for for them
Speaker 1: to try and report and give people information. Um. But
Speaker 1: for me, man, I'm telling you guys, obviously, I've you know,
Speaker 1: been in the college locker room, high school locker room.
Speaker 1: Know what it's like to have brothers on the field,
Speaker 1: you know, I know, at this level, things that you
Speaker 1: spend so much more of your time together. You know,
Speaker 1: it's times too from from the college rem so these
Speaker 1: are your brothers. And to see a guy down you
Speaker 1: never want to see you never want to be in
Speaker 1: that position. But also mentally seeing him have to be
Speaker 1: brought back to life. UM, my mind and my empathy
Speaker 1: because I'm from a big family always goes to the family.
Speaker 1: You know, That's what I think first and foremost. Um,
Speaker 1: I have a son that plays sports, and you know,
Speaker 1: we have a thing in our house. Man, if you
Speaker 1: if you ain't hurt, get up, you know, and if
Speaker 1: you are, but put your hand up, put your thumb up.
Speaker 1: Let your mama know you okay. That's the number one thing.
Speaker 1: Let your mama know you're okay. Even if you were hurt.
Speaker 1: Hurt all right, if you could, man, let your mom
Speaker 1: let us know you okay, because that's what you want
Speaker 1: for his family. The fact that his mother didn't get that,
Speaker 1: the fact that she had to ride in the ambulance
Speaker 1: with him, that's where that's where my heart really just
Speaker 1: goes out to his family because they have to endure this.
Speaker 1: So man, look for all the people that have opinions,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna talk about any of the negative
Speaker 1: stuff that's happened. I just think that we all have
Speaker 1: to have a level of empathy, and it needs to
Speaker 1: be for his family, that his loved ones and the
Speaker 1: people that care about him, and prayers need to be
Speaker 1: for them during this this situation. There's so many other
Speaker 1: things that have to take a back seat. But you know,
Speaker 1: my mind is on his his parents, the people that
Speaker 1: love him. I was I was glad to know that
Speaker 1: his mother, that they located her and got her to
Speaker 1: him so she could be there. And I just thought
Speaker 1: in that moment, you know who wouldn't want them all?
Speaker 1: You know, there's no there's no bond stronger than that
Speaker 1: between mother and child. And and so when I when
Speaker 1: I heard that, I said, you know what, man, that's
Speaker 1: that's I'm glad they were able to find her in
Speaker 1: the stand and get her to him. And I remember
Speaker 1: the time d Ware ended up getting carted off here
Speaker 1: um at at and T Stadium, and his wife at
Speaker 1: the time she was able to go go with him,
Speaker 1: and so um these are always tough situations to see,
Speaker 1: but I would imagine every any player would want to
Speaker 1: have someone be it mother, wife, you know, brother, whoever,
Speaker 1: there's somebody to go with them. But then to read
Speaker 1: where Stepan Digs went to the hospital um after the
Speaker 1: game to to to to be with him, and Um,
Speaker 1: I just there's a lot of class shown by the
Speaker 1: Bills organization, a lot of class shown by by the
Speaker 1: Bengals organization there, and it's um, it's just scary. I
Speaker 1: I'm always I've never been one of those people who's
Speaker 1: not appreciated what what sacrifice goes into this. I always
Speaker 1: tell people, Man, you go to the Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: and actually, if you ever get an opportunity, go to
Speaker 1: a induction the Hall of Fame and you meet some
Speaker 1: of these guys and you will see they've given something
Speaker 1: by the bus they need to put like what what
Speaker 1: what did you give up? Was it? The hip? Was it?
Speaker 1: I mean Anthony Munio's hand is going this, fingers like
Speaker 1: goes this way. You see guys who were limping. I mean,
Speaker 1: guys have truly given up years off their life to
Speaker 1: play this game. And that's just the Hall of Famers.
Speaker 1: Then you have regular guys you know, may have only
Speaker 1: played one or two years. I mean they're hurting. I
Speaker 1: mean people are Michael Irvin told me when I says NWI,
Speaker 1: I heard every day. Yes, that was I mean, this
Speaker 1: is Michael Irvin and He's like, Nui, I hurt every day. Um,
Speaker 1: these guys give given themselves in the game. And by
Speaker 1: the way, Troy Akman, Joe buck Lisassaulters, um, pure class.
Speaker 1: Phenomenal job. How they handled that pure class. And I
Speaker 1: had to go on the air last night every Channel
Speaker 1: five and I was the lead story. And remember they said,
Speaker 1: can we ask you a question? Like what what question
Speaker 1: we have? I have no answers, and what do you think?
Speaker 1: I said, it's not the time for me to be thinking.
Speaker 1: If I don't have facts, then I'm not saying it
Speaker 1: because I don't know. We need to be respectful. And
Speaker 1: then they later on became some tweet from somebody who
Speaker 1: said they were his marketing person, and they tried to
Speaker 1: say he was this. I'm like, I know, we're not
Speaker 1: going any of that unless we have facts, unless something
Speaker 1: comes from the team or the National Football League, that's
Speaker 1: all I want to talk about. If it's not a fact,
Speaker 1: this is not the time to try to speculate, pontificate,
Speaker 1: give out a take if you don't have a fact.
Speaker 1: In my situation, I ain't saying anything, yeah, because I
Speaker 1: don't know. And sometimes what's the best thing you can say?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, because you do not
Speaker 1: want to be one of these people that gets this wrong.
Speaker 1: You don't. You can't get this wrong. And so the
Speaker 1: NFL postponed it. Will see what they say. I think
Speaker 1: they postponed to try to give themselves time to figure
Speaker 1: out the situation because there's a lot that obviously between
Speaker 1: these two teams and what this means do you give them?
Speaker 1: Do you do you just declare it just don't count
Speaker 1: the game? I mean, they clearly got some questions they
Speaker 1: have to answer. How can they try to be fair
Speaker 1: and equitable at the same time, because you can't play
Speaker 1: the game in my opinion, I mean, really, how do
Speaker 1: you got a game on It's already a Monday night.
Speaker 1: So it's already Monday night. Y'arred a short week and
Speaker 1: you gotta go play. I don't know. You can't make
Speaker 1: the game, up to my opinion, at least, I don't
Speaker 1: see how you do, because you're running into the playoffs
Speaker 1: very next week and these are two playoff teams. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't see it being replayed.
Speaker 1: And finally, I think when they announced it to I
Speaker 1: believe it was announced today that they're not going to
Speaker 1: try and replay that game. So with that being said,
Speaker 1: I think you know they're making all the right decisions
Speaker 1: now and maybe you know, in hindsight, there were a
Speaker 1: lot of quick decisions that were made that probably they
Speaker 1: wish they were that are regretable today. But you know,
Speaker 1: his health is is most important. And this is unprecedented, man,
Speaker 1: and nobody's ever seen anything like that happened on the football.
Speaker 1: So the reactions from all over the world and the
Speaker 1: way that people are, you know, really today just kind
Speaker 1: of taking them the collective deep breath to just say, man,
Speaker 1: what did we just witness? You know? So I mean, look, man,
Speaker 1: sometimes not even sometimes things like this, sports and everything
Speaker 1: else takes a backseat to it and it's all about Hamlin.
Speaker 1: Can tell we were scared what we saw with two
Speaker 1: a tongue of bio lower this year. That was scary
Speaker 1: to watch. And so now you have this, and you're right,
Speaker 1: there's there is no it's never happened. There's no playbook
Speaker 1: for this, and so I'm not there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people criticizing the NFL. I didn't criticize just from the
Speaker 1: standpoint of this is unprecedented and how do you handle
Speaker 1: something you don't know? But the one thing they did
Speaker 1: do correctly, they didn't make these guys go back out
Speaker 1: to play. Nobody wanted to watch football. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to go watch I didn't want to see any more
Speaker 1: football for these people. I just wanted to know, how's
Speaker 1: mister Hamlin doing. You know, Please let this man be alive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you first thought, let him be alive, let him have
Speaker 1: all those extremities, you know that That that that to me,
Speaker 1: that was my that was my my my prayer, my
Speaker 1: might just please please let him be alive, Please let
Speaker 1: him have and everything else we can deal with later on.
Speaker 1: You deal with tomorrow. Um. But no, I didn't want
Speaker 1: to see them play. Those guys. You saw a look
Speaker 1: at terror, you said fear. It was terror that I
Speaker 1: saw on guys' faces out there. And and even the
Speaker 1: thought of playing the game again, I said to someone
Speaker 1: off in the studio, I said, who wants to fly
Speaker 1: back from Buffalo to Cincinnati and do this again? Nobody
Speaker 1: wants to do that, And you know, and then the
Speaker 1: whole things I said, play tomorrow. It's like you don't,
Speaker 1: I said, you understand, that's not how the NFL works.
Speaker 1: I said, they've already checked out of their hotel. They're
Speaker 1: going back home. You just can't. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: this is a baseball game where guys go play the
Speaker 1: next day. You know, you gotta have security at all
Speaker 1: these places. You gotta have the ushers, you got all
Speaker 1: these Putting on a football game is a major pajor
Speaker 1: deal that involves a whole lot of logistics that you
Speaker 1: just can't decide the next day. Let's just go back
Speaker 1: out here and do it again. Um, you simply cannot
Speaker 1: do that. And even just the hotel. It's not like
Speaker 1: go back to the hotel. Hey, hey guys, we want
Speaker 1: all these rooms back, and we're gonna do this again. Um,
Speaker 1: you can't. And plus you don't know what happened. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't know what happened. But anyway, I just knew
Speaker 1: we needed to at least touch on this, and I
Speaker 1: thought that the Cowboys organization sent out, you know, a
Speaker 1: good tweet, along with a lot of other organizations and
Speaker 1: a whole lot of other people across the sports world.
Speaker 1: It was shocking. It was absolutely shocking. And uh, right
Speaker 1: here at the players Lounge, we wish mister Hamlin and
Speaker 1: his family all the best, all the best, and we're
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow. Do it tomorrow for Danny McCray, Heck Maharrison,
Speaker 1: Barry church Um, there we Scruggs for Crisping, Big Will Jazz,
Speaker 1: everybody who's been a part of this, Prayers for mister Hamlin.
