Speaker 2: But y'all I'm good. I'm doing a dazing Oh.
Speaker 3: Yesterday, you know, the boys had me out there, you know,
Speaker 3: hanging out with the cats from Bank of America. It
Speaker 3: was me and Brady James out there at the stadium
Speaker 3: hanging out on you know, we was doing we was
Speaker 3: doing things out there, and I realized, Man, not a
Speaker 3: lot of people in this world are athletic.
Speaker 2: Like when when I was throwing the passes. I'm like, man,
Speaker 2: he's a grown ups out here.
Speaker 3: Just got a photos on a wheelchair. Were total stretch.
Speaker 3: Make sure you're stretched. We're gonna throw man. That boy
Speaker 3: came out there with crutches and the knee brace. Man,
Speaker 3: what's going on on? The tricky passes right in the
Speaker 3: bread basket? And man, it was rough.
Speaker 2: It was rough. So that means you missed for a
Speaker 2: good cause. But we had a good show yesterday. Like
Speaker 2: I said, Man, Danny was Danny was, you know, he
Speaker 2: was look a lot of things. He was zoned with
Speaker 2: this team. We're gonna have to reinterrate because I want
Speaker 2: to know. I want to know from you. You wasn't here yesterday,
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna have to get I'm definitely gonna have
Speaker 2: to get your takes on a lot of this, man.
Speaker 2: But we're gonna start what we said we would. And
Speaker 2: this is Cowboys defense versus the Rams offense. Now, unless
Speaker 2: you've been sleeping under rock, the Rams getting off to
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say a good start three and four seasons
Speaker 2: so far, but offensively, they got some good stuff going on.
Speaker 2: And if you watch any tape on him right now,
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford a guy. That man they played for the
Speaker 2: for the Lions. Now with the Rams won a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: After that down year last year, it looks like he's
Speaker 2: making his way back and he's got some help on
Speaker 2: his side. No, without a doubt.
Speaker 3: You know you're right with everything you say, Matt Stafford
Speaker 3: when you look at it, even in you know his
Speaker 3: advanced age up there, I think.
Speaker 2: This is what year fourteen, yes, fifteen, man flying, But
Speaker 2: he's uh, he's still throwing the ball really well.
Speaker 3: And I still think he's one of the most talented
Speaker 3: quarterbacks international Football League. And when you talk about the
Speaker 3: weapons they possessed, I mean we all understand who it is.
Speaker 3: You know, you got Coop on once a Cooper Cup
Speaker 3: on one side, and then you got Pooka Nikoua on
Speaker 3: the other side. And this guy kind of Nicole, kind
Speaker 3: of came from nowhere. You know, defenses really weren't expecting
Speaker 3: much from him, and then boom out the gate. First
Speaker 3: three games, I think he had almost three three hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty yards or something crazy like that.
Speaker 2: He was on the tear Yeah, he's already already.
Speaker 3: So that dude is on the tear fence and he's
Speaker 3: respectable he's respectable, so you got to you make sure
Speaker 3: you know where he is at all times.
Speaker 2: But when you're a defender.
Speaker 3: And you talk about the Rams offense, I think it
Speaker 3: boils down to one guy, and we're talking about Cooper Cup.
Speaker 3: I mean when you look at him, especially a guy
Speaker 3: in the secondary, this is a guy you gotta keep
Speaker 3: your eyes on because what we all know, he consistently
Speaker 3: over years has the ability to beat you with the
Speaker 3: deep ball. He's fasten than a lot of people think.
Speaker 3: But more importantly, he can kill your defense with a
Speaker 3: thousand cups by just moving the chains every third down.
Speaker 3: Some reason, he got that witting aspect with it where
Speaker 3: he can just kind of give you a shite slight
Speaker 3: shove or some type of you know, maneuver.
Speaker 2: In his routes where he gets open.
Speaker 3: So those are the two guys that this defense has
Speaker 3: got to focus on, because the running back Williams, I
Speaker 3: think is Caner Williams. He's out, he's on ir Then
Speaker 3: they got two guys coming in to replace him. But
Speaker 3: they got to know where number ten is at all
Speaker 3: times because we all know he could hurt you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I'm looking at the Rams and I'm looking
Speaker 2: at their schedule, okay, and this I'm trying to keep
Speaker 2: us from falling it because you know he been on
Speaker 2: next week, last week week, right, so so so you
Speaker 2: know we talk about the NFC West invitation. Okay, we
Speaker 2: owe in too? Are we owing too? And this is
Speaker 2: why you have to remove the schedule when you're looking
Speaker 2: at teams and saying, okay, well they schedule, Look, they
Speaker 2: record looks this way, and I was just whatever, and
Speaker 2: we should be better than them, and it just it's football,
Speaker 2: right and any given Sunday, anything can happen. But they
Speaker 2: play in the NFC West, Okay, and they first game,
Speaker 2: they went out there and drugged the Seahawks. Okay, who
Speaker 2: we believe other good teams, the top five ten, it's
Speaker 2: a good team. Okay. They beat the Cardinals. We lost
Speaker 2: the Cardinals. Okay. They called Cincinnati coming off one of
Speaker 2: the worst starts to the to the year, where they
Speaker 2: it was a must win for them, right, and they
Speaker 2: still played them in the close game, all right, And
Speaker 2: then you know you got Philly and then you know
Speaker 2: the other the other couple. But when you look at
Speaker 2: their team, their record doesn't show that this is a
Speaker 2: this is a very competitive team to where it ain't
Speaker 2: even about if you will go out there sleepwalking that
Speaker 2: you can get beat. You could show up on your
Speaker 2: best day and still get beat, right, because that's because
Speaker 2: they have the weapons, They got the coaching, they got
Speaker 2: the office court, and they still have a lot of time.
Speaker 2: They got Aaron Donald who is an absolute game record
Speaker 2: on their squad. So when you're looking at them, you say, Okay,
Speaker 2: our defense. If we're going to lean on our defense
Speaker 2: to be the unit that takes us to wherever we
Speaker 2: want to go, hiever deep into the playoffs, you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to go against these type of receivers who we
Speaker 2: can agree that Cooper Cup is just the real deal
Speaker 2: Triple Brown winner, and then Pooka, like from what you've
Speaker 2: seen from him, you know, yeah, what you've seen from
Speaker 2: him at the beginning of the year. He is a
Speaker 2: very formidable receiver, probably above that. Right. So now you say, okay,
Speaker 2: can we stop the run. We have been stopping to
Speaker 2: run lately ever since Arizona. We've been we've been, we've
Speaker 2: been doing good. Now you have your test. There's gonna
Speaker 2: be a gauntlet for you coming up of Like, Okay,
Speaker 2: they got two guys they got two receivers that you're
Speaker 2: gonna have to cover. We missing Trayvon Diggs. I think
Speaker 2: the matchup with our defensive aacks and the receivers that
Speaker 2: is going to show us what we can expect for
Speaker 2: the rest of the season. So I'm excited to see
Speaker 2: a little nervous, but I'm excited because we got Dron
Speaker 2: Bland step on Gilmarthur. This is a big time step
Speaker 2: up game for darn blade out there's and that's where
Speaker 2: I'm going next. I'm going to the matchup itself with
Speaker 2: our defensive backs versus their wide receivers. And you bring
Speaker 2: up something that I don't think that a lot of
Speaker 2: people here in Cowboy Country have really talked about to
Speaker 2: the extent that it needs to, and that's Trayvon Diggs.
Speaker 2: His absence and what it has meant to this defense.
Speaker 2: I don't know about y'all. This defense has looked different
Speaker 2: to me overnight, and just the scheme, the way that
Speaker 2: they play, and a lot of it. Okay, Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 2: doesn't stop the run. He's not a tackler, he's not
Speaker 2: any of that. So obviously you kind of just say, okay,
Speaker 2: he's not an interior guy, So why are we getting
Speaker 2: gashed in the run like this? Okay? Then you look
Speaker 2: on the backside and guys like d run Bland. Obviously
Speaker 2: he was more of a nickel guy and there were
Speaker 2: different things that dan Quinn could do with his scheme.
Speaker 2: Now it just seems like the identity of all of
Speaker 2: those guys on the back end have changed. Whereas you
Speaker 2: will see Hooker who could stalk the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 2: Kurse could stalk the line of scrimmage. Now you're seeing
Speaker 2: these guys playing roles that maybe they didn't have any
Speaker 2: plans on playing this year, but incomes these two wide
Speaker 2: receivers like like you said, can move the chains in
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup he's a possession receiver. But now we're pooking
Speaker 2: the cool six to two hundred and five pounds out
Speaker 2: of b y U and Bro he is a dog.
Speaker 2: And for me, it's I'm looking at the I'm looking
Speaker 2: at y'all. Gotta keep going, keep going.
Speaker 4: The God all right, the bet your boy.
Speaker 2: Run Blad. You gotta tell me, I mean, what do
Speaker 2: they have to do to get stops? Listen, listen, And
Speaker 2: I want to continue saying this. I will continue seeing this, Okay,
Speaker 2: I believe in darn Bland, like I have believed in
Speaker 2: Darron Blanton when he was playing nickelback when they moved
Speaker 2: him outside that like, I've been believing in the guy,
Speaker 2: and I think I saw I can't even remember what
Speaker 2: the stat was. It was the PFF. I know how
Speaker 2: people feel about THEFF, But yardage allowed or completion percentage
Speaker 2: allowed when he's guarding, it's somewhere around like twenty two percent.
Speaker 2: Like it's like the lowest in the league. Right, So
Speaker 2: outside of the players where you say, okay, they probably
Speaker 2: should have hit Keenan Allen on that play where he
Speaker 2: fell down. He had he had one of those plays.
Speaker 2: But but opposite of that, the guy's been turning the
Speaker 2: ball over. They haven't been able to pick on him. Quise.
Speaker 2: Usually when you get a guy like that in the
Speaker 2: game and the opposing team sees it, they're like, we
Speaker 2: going to him that way. They haven't been able to
Speaker 2: They haven't been able to do that, all right, So
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Okay, looking at that, what are they gonna
Speaker 2: do with stuff? Gilmore? I still believe that he has
Speaker 2: a lot left. When you are a player of the
Speaker 2: caliber that he is losing the step ain't like when
Speaker 2: you an average player and you lost a step, all right,
Speaker 2: So he can still get out there and play. He's
Speaker 2: gonna be a little savvy trying to figure out, you
Speaker 2: know what, route concepts, and I think he still has
Speaker 2: that instinct to be able to get out there and
Speaker 2: make plays. But the fact of the matter is a
Speaker 2: triple Crown winner is on the opposite side of it, right,
Speaker 2: So you have to know that no matter what, he's
Speaker 2: probably gonna he's probably gonna get some catches, He's probably
Speaker 2: gonna make some plays. It's you limiting the yards after
Speaker 2: catch for a team like the Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you hundredsent right, We talking about limiting
Speaker 3: those those yak yards, those yards after the catch, because
Speaker 3: if you look at last year, you know what the
Speaker 3: Cooper cup to I think he had one hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty some yards receiving. He had that big chunk play
Speaker 3: for a touchdown. But after that they kind of condensed
Speaker 3: on them in the They weren't letting them get off
Speaker 3: like that. So to me, he was he was. He's
Speaker 3: a guy that you've got to contain. But when you
Speaker 3: talk about these two wide receivers on the outside cup
Speaker 3: and pooping the cool.
Speaker 2: They bring their challenges. We all understand that.
Speaker 3: And Matt Stafford has that ability, you know, to throw
Speaker 3: the ball, make every throw out there. But to me,
Speaker 3: this is gonna come down to them trenches. To me,
Speaker 3: it's gonna come down to that, to that rush that
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys hopefully are able to provide, because if
Speaker 3: you go back to last year's game, once again, they
Speaker 3: got after Stafford five times, they sacked them five times,
Speaker 3: and they made things hard pretty much the entire afternoon
Speaker 3: back there for him through an interception.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was, it was.
Speaker 3: It was a tough setting for Stafford out there. And
Speaker 3: I think this same defensive line, if they bring that
Speaker 3: intensity that they had the Chargers game, even though they
Speaker 3: didn't get a sack, you saw it. I mean Herbert
Speaker 3: was kind of under the rest pretty much the entire game.
Speaker 3: So if they could do that same thing with Stafford,
Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys defensively should have a big time advantage.
Speaker 3: And I think what I'm looking for, guys is how
Speaker 3: often does Dan Quinn give Bland help. We know that,
Speaker 3: but he's been not having He's been This is a
Speaker 3: guy that's been been on an Island. But when you
Speaker 3: come up against a wide receiver corps like the one
Speaker 3: that Los Angeles has, you gotta think that.
Speaker 2: You give him some help.
Speaker 3: So you think over you think they're gonna help Bland
Speaker 3: or help Gilmore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was trying to run Gilmore out the gym.
Speaker 2: And but that's that's that's, that's why you that's in
Speaker 2: this situation, especially with the with the injury, I think
Speaker 2: that's who you trust more. And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I think you were talking about him
Speaker 2: missing half of maybe half a step, But even at
Speaker 2: his half a step, his knowledge of the game is
Speaker 2: even that much better than a guy like Durruan Blaand
Speaker 2: I would trust Gilly more than I would Bland against
Speaker 2: pooking the cool. I think this is the this is
Speaker 2: actually the test for Duran Bland, right, seriously? So you
Speaker 2: so you would? Would you? So you got Pooking the
Speaker 2: coop out there.
Speaker 3: So you're saying anytime he's kind of on bland side
Speaker 3: or kind of lined up outside, you double him and you.
Speaker 2: May have to give him some safety help. You may
Speaker 2: have to give him some safety help, or you may not.
Speaker 2: If he if the lot comes from the cool also
Speaker 2: will line up in the inside to why we felt
Speaker 2: like this about d I think it's I think it's
Speaker 2: more help about Gilly. But so are you starting the
Speaker 2: game off helping these guys? Are you waiting to see
Speaker 2: if anything happens that what we're doing? Okay, I don't
Speaker 2: see this stuff, but you know you're not seeing a
Speaker 2: big hand. Yeah, I'm gonna leave, but that's what we need.
Speaker 2: On defense. I have no idea. I don't know. I
Speaker 2: can't tell what how to mask. But man, I don't
Speaker 2: know somebody big enough to have them, somebody big enough
Speaker 2: to come in with a man so ship old bro.
Speaker 2: But I swear I thought I was. I was like this.
Speaker 2: I was like, I can't even see that. I saw
Speaker 2: going crazy. What's going on with me? Up? That's like
Speaker 2: chasing you with a clown? Said Williams. Out here stuff.
Speaker 2: I was like, man, I'm finna go to the doctor. Wow,
Speaker 2: that's a big hand I saw. I saw a little bit.
Speaker 2: I turned out, but back to back to I have
Speaker 2: to so at the beginning of the game, do y'all
Speaker 2: feel like, so the game plan right now is, Hey,
Speaker 2: when we're when we come out, we have a plan
Speaker 2: for Cooper Cup and a plan for pookah Uh. As
Speaker 2: far as who we're going to give help or do
Speaker 2: you say, Okay, we're gonna go out here and based
Speaker 2: off how these guys are played all season, we're gonna
Speaker 2: let them go out here, line up one the woman,
Speaker 2: we play man coverage and if it ends up to
Speaker 2: where somebody's just going crazy, right you know, halftime Cooper
Speaker 2: Cup got one hundred and fifty yards, then you got
Speaker 2: to figure something out. But other than that, I'm seeing
Speaker 2: me I'm seeing them line up one on one and
Speaker 2: see if they can hold up and then adjusting if
Speaker 2: they can't. That's that's what I see how we'all y'all
Speaker 2: feel about it. So you feel like so you feel
Speaker 2: like they should go to if.
Speaker 3: You got a game plan for you know, a guy
Speaker 3: that's gonna that has the opportunity to go crazy, I
Speaker 3: just don't think you risk it by saying that no
Speaker 3: one on one. Yeah, you know you understand your personnel
Speaker 3: out there, and if there was Digs out there, I'm like,
Speaker 3: all right, go ahead, do your thing out there. But
Speaker 3: even though look, Duron Bland has not for turning the
Speaker 3: football over, I still believe there's routes and there's concept
Speaker 3: that you can get him on just like any other
Speaker 3: corner out there.
Speaker 2: And I would help, But man, you don't want to
Speaker 2: kill con. You don't want to be out there like
Speaker 2: every time we run a man a man coveras like
Speaker 2: we can't we can't have a middle hook drop or
Speaker 2: we can't have this, and we can't have that because
Speaker 2: we have to then commit somebody to go help with
Speaker 2: darn Blant, who has only shown you that he can
Speaker 2: play cornerback, like until he get out there, and give
Speaker 2: him some of that old Kevin Joseph Luz or whatever
Speaker 2: singing him some of that what I'm saying, like, go
Speaker 2: ahead and give him what he what he's earned. He's
Speaker 2: earned the right for you to say, all right, we're
Speaker 2: gonna give you a shot. And every time we they
Speaker 2: giving him a shot, he stepped up and against and
Speaker 2: against a rookie wide receiver. I would like to believe
Speaker 2: that Bland has the goods to be on an island
Speaker 2: with put the cool. I'm just saying what I've seen
Speaker 2: so far in seven games from number seventeen. He's a headache.
Speaker 2: He is a headache. And those crossing routes that we're
Speaker 2: talking about. Don't stop. I mean, he is one of
Speaker 2: those guys even off the line of scrimmage because he's
Speaker 2: so big, he's so physical. If he breaks a tackle,
Speaker 2: he had a getting to the next level. But I
Speaker 2: think the thing that you were talking about is the
Speaker 2: pass rush. Last time we played them five five sacks,
Speaker 2: so that pressure was a problem for the Rams. You
Speaker 2: have to do the same thing this game. And that's
Speaker 2: why Michael parsons this defense is they gotta get it going.
Speaker 2: You have to you have to get sacks. And this
Speaker 2: is for the offensive line for the Rams. And we
Speaker 2: talked about it a little bit yesterday. Not a bunch
Speaker 2: of names. Nobody up. They don't have a Trent wigs
Speaker 2: spas I'm trying to get to. They don't have a
Speaker 2: Trent Wive. So this should be a game that osa
Speaker 2: that Gilmore Gallimore, guys like that got to just stop.
Speaker 2: By my god, dude, Sam saying Williams, don't they file
Speaker 2: of guys like that. Darnce Armstrong like, our front should
Speaker 2: eat this game, man. And you're going to get a
Speaker 2: quarterback who's he's not Josh Donnas.
Speaker 3: All right, he's not gonna be he's not even party
Speaker 3: as far as you know, be athletic, and no, they're
Speaker 3: not gonna see any of that.
Speaker 2: So he's kind of a stationary target back there.
Speaker 3: I mean he got the you know kind of Brady
Speaker 3: asked as far as moving around in the pocket and
Speaker 3: avoiding the rush and buying time. But other than that,
Speaker 3: I mean, if they able to get home, I mean,
Speaker 3: there's no chasing this guy down, there's no extending to
Speaker 3: play long enough for these guys to get open. It
Speaker 3: should be advantaged cowboys, it should be okay.
Speaker 2: And I said this yesterday and I misspoke, okay, because
Speaker 2: I was like, you know what I would rather than
Speaker 2: which I would rather than throw the ball. We still
Speaker 2: got to get out here and stop to run. Okay,
Speaker 2: first things, first, stop the run against these guys. If
Speaker 2: you don't, and you give them an opportunity to be
Speaker 2: not just a one trick pone me and they can
Speaker 2: get out there and run the boss on you, and
Speaker 2: they can be balanced with those two receivers that they got.
Speaker 2: Then that pass rust and stuff don't matter. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, you know it doesn't matter. We saw it
Speaker 2: against Arizona. If you can't do what you're supposed to
Speaker 2: do on first and second down and put them in
Speaker 2: third and long positions. Then you're gonna be in trouble. Man,
Speaker 2: You're in trouble.
Speaker 3: And it'll be honest with you if because it can
Speaker 3: Wills he's not playing. So if Henderson, who they're gonna
Speaker 3: they may bring up from the practice squad and the
Speaker 3: other guys going to go nuts on you out there,
Speaker 3: you got a serious, serious problem. Like those two guys
Speaker 3: should not you know, sniff the century mark. They shouldn't not,
Speaker 3: you know, James not not. None of these guys ha
Speaker 3: sniffed the century mark. And if you're able to do that,
Speaker 3: you make him a one trick pony. And I feel
Speaker 3: like that falls right in the Dad quins.
Speaker 2: So you have Darryl Henderson junr as they running back
Speaker 2: and that's what you were just talking about. Royce Freeman. Also, yeah,
Speaker 2: where did this guy comes? And also Zach Evans, Zach
Speaker 2: Evans from Ole, miss A guy that went to TCU,
Speaker 2: guy from h Town, uh from north Side North South
Speaker 2: high Man. Yeah, he was dynamic. I don't even know
Speaker 2: what no, Hi, I'm from the North's the what's the
Speaker 2: mad High School? And won somebody stays tight north sure,
Speaker 2: North Sure, ain't no side high by the man, We're
Speaker 2: not even on the north side. They're on the whole
Speaker 2: nother side of town for sure. Galakalnakalna north Sure, I said,
Speaker 2: north side, north shore, n a W that's the side now.
Speaker 2: Zach Evans Man, he's a dude that was running in
Speaker 2: high school. Man. He was dynamic and one of those
Speaker 2: guys that I think has made the Rams roster. I
Speaker 2: think he's nursing some injuries, but they're running game. Like
Speaker 2: you said, this shouldn't be a running game that you
Speaker 2: feel like it is going to be a one hundred
Speaker 2: yard at the end of the night, hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: yards our front to shut him down. Sacks. Give me
Speaker 2: a number on sacks, man for this game. I gave
Speaker 2: your number yesterday on rushing yards, and you shot me
Speaker 2: three sacks. Three. I can see three if we play
Speaker 2: the game how we should, I can see three sacks.
Speaker 2: I'm going with what they did last year. I'm going
Speaker 2: on five. Ye, they gonna get five. They gonna they're
Speaker 2: gonna get on these boys five sleeping sleeping on the Rams.
Speaker 2: Don't let that you man, that the team you out
Speaker 2: there said that you think may be better than Detroit.
Speaker 2: Seattle went out there and got stomped by l A.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying because because look, this is.
Speaker 3: This team they should beat, and I don't want to
Speaker 3: come here the next.
Speaker 2: Week and they be like, man, you've seen what they
Speaker 2: did against that rushing attack. They shut it down.
Speaker 3: But we all know that that's what should happen. That's
Speaker 3: what that's what should happen.
Speaker 2: I mean, in that first game of the season, I
Speaker 2: mean his first game of the season, right, you know,
Speaker 2: we're going first game of the season, they beat the
Speaker 2: breaks out of them. Did of course. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: not trying not to count it, but I'm just saying
Speaker 2: that the Seattle see also the same team, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, they getting better, but they got handled. It

Speaker 5: You have.
Speaker 2: You had your one laugh, but we got one more
Speaker 2: week lay around with a bank man. That man is
Speaker 2: still running around with a mask man, so's crazy. I
Speaker 2: used to work at a haunting house, bro I used
Speaker 2: to be that excited too, until until about week three.
Speaker 2: You scared somebody just get the swinging scarce. We put
Speaker 2: people in the house. Yeah, yeah, I'm saying you should
Speaker 2: even came up here. Dog. You see the man got
Speaker 2: art problem. I was in ninth grade. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we like that was the gold scarce somebody you know
Speaker 2: that they hurt itself and so on ninth grade. I
Speaker 2: don't care. It's ruthless. Can't put your hands on him.
Speaker 2: Oh God, I'm telling you, Sam Williams in this in
Speaker 2: this clown outfit is not it's not for the fainted heart. Man.
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't do it. I can't do it.
Speaker 2: But man, continuing on with this, with this game. I
Speaker 2: asked the question, which QB in OC do you trust?
Speaker 2: And I use the word t are you a s T?
Speaker 2: I know where y'all gonna go with the trust factor,
Speaker 2: But I put that in there for a reason because
Speaker 2: I want to know even with the simple size you
Speaker 2: like that BC, I like that is simple size that
Speaker 2: you got with Mike McCarthy and Dak going up against
Speaker 2: my man mcveigh's new father, uh and Matthew Stafford. Who
Speaker 2: you trust? Who you trust? Who you think is you
Speaker 2: trust more? Who do you trust more? Trust more? Like
Speaker 2: to do?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 2: Come on? Now? You know what? I don't even talking about.
Speaker 3: Trust as far as he gonna have a scheme that's
Speaker 3: going you know, these offensive players are gonna get I'm
Speaker 3: going with McVeigh.
Speaker 2: Sunday playing play call, I'm going with McVeigh.
Speaker 3: I mean, from what we've seen, the sample size, you know,
Speaker 3: McCarthy has not been off to the greatest starts as
Speaker 3: an offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: I think we can all agree upon that. McVeigh.
Speaker 3: On the other hand, I mean, you got a guy
Speaker 3: in the fifth round poking the cool I have seven
Speaker 3: hundred some yards. Cooper Cup comes back back to back
Speaker 3: over one hundred yards. So he's getting the playmakers involved
Speaker 3: early and often. So when it comes to play calling,
Speaker 3: I'm going with McVeigh.
Speaker 2: How much would you talking? I agree? Unfortunately, I don't
Speaker 2: want to agree, but I hate to three because the
Speaker 2: red zone problems going to effect. Uh, you know, us
Speaker 2: looking vanilla on offense sometimes does go into effect. Do
Speaker 2: I still have faith in Mike BECAUSEY is a play called. Absolutely,
Speaker 2: But we have seen some of the stuff that Sean
Speaker 2: McVay came into the league with and continues to run,
Speaker 2: and it is still some of the most innovative stuff
Speaker 2: that we that we were saying, I'm going to go
Speaker 2: with Sean Vay as far as you know, being more
Speaker 2: creative and getting his main guys involved, which I hope
Speaker 2: we find a way to do this this week. I
Speaker 2: hope we find a way to do it. What about you?
Speaker 2: What about you?
Speaker 8: So?
Speaker 2: I mean I find it interesting because coming into this season,
Speaker 2: we were thinking more Kellen Moore. Kellen Moore, I'm thinking,
Speaker 2: is in that McVeigh company plays that he likes to
Speaker 2: design with the most. That's what I'm talking about. Make
Speaker 2: sure we clear on that. And we're talking about what
Speaker 2: he did was huh, that's cutting edge?
Speaker 3: That is.
Speaker 2: That shaw Wow? Okay, yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, I trust him.
Speaker 2: I trust him. Keep myself out of the the houtting
Speaker 2: edge office. But we were we wanted Mike McCarthy to
Speaker 2: be more traditional. We wanted him to get the running
Speaker 2: game going, not put Dack who had fifteen interceptions in
Speaker 2: harm's way. Now, after the bye, after we got an
Speaker 2: opportunity to look at it, everybody's like, man, this thing
Speaker 2: is lacking all kind of it's it's up and down
Speaker 2: with whether you want to praise it or say this
Speaker 2: is vanilla.
Speaker 3: Everybody's off to their worst start. I think, right, I mean, yes,
Speaker 3: numbers number. Everybody cooks.
Speaker 2: CD. I don't know. I think CD CD kind of balling.
Speaker 3: No's he's he's he's bad, he's bad man. Yea that
Speaker 3: I mean, he gotta call us bag bam. Everybody's off
Speaker 3: to their worst start, but you're winning exactly four and two.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna throw like who we played out there
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, cause I don't want you push back,
Speaker 2: but we ain't put now I'm gonna push back.
Speaker 8: Good.
Speaker 2: Okay, the just won a couple of games. All the
Speaker 2: Patriots horrible, Okay, Giants horrible. But yes, okay, I'm still
Speaker 2: I'm still veigh It's like I'm trying to think of
Speaker 2: an analogy to go with this one. Okay, you hop
Speaker 2: cut your water on before you get in the shower, right,
Speaker 2: You put it all the way hot, all the way hot.
Speaker 2: You getting there realized it's too damn hot. You move
Speaker 2: it up a little bit, and now it's too cold. Right.
Speaker 2: I think that's what we're at with McCarthy, right. I
Speaker 2: think when Kelln was here, he's like, WHOA hold on,
Speaker 2: So we and then not McCarthy here were like hold on, wait,
Speaker 2: not too cold. We need to be right up in
Speaker 2: the middle. Okay, we need the perfect temperature and we
Speaker 2: just haven't found it yet. Have we seen flashes up
Speaker 2: seen flashes of it. That's why hopefully coming out of
Speaker 2: the boy week, we got the temperature just right, because
Speaker 2: if not in the leave me alone, where where's the laft? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 2: where where's the laft? But hopefully hopefully a lot of
Speaker 2: self scout here happen. Some self scout happened where dan
Speaker 2: Quinn went in and looked at our offense, and we
Speaker 2: went and Mike McCarthy went and looked at dan Quinn's defense,
Speaker 2: and then they came back and they said, Hey, if
Speaker 2: I was actually coaching against you, this is what I
Speaker 2: would do because we see in this type of tendency whatever,
Speaker 2: and then this is how you can be better. Hopefully
Speaker 2: that comes out because we know dan Quinn's an amazing
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. He could see some of that stuff and
Speaker 2: that'll help him out. It's amazing. I'm so happy you McCarty.
Speaker 2: Or we haven't done the quarterback. Yeah, so no, then
Speaker 2: let's tag in the defensive coordinators Raheen Morris and dan Quinn.
Speaker 2: So let's take the whole package. You're taking oc you're
Speaker 2: a different So it's I'm saying, I'm saying Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 2: dan Quinn McVeigh, Raheem Morris. No, no, hold on, well,
Speaker 2: because I already took McVeigh and I'm gonna take Dan Quinn,
Speaker 2: I don't together asked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you go on, you know, coordinators versus coordinators,
Speaker 3: I would lean towards Dallas because I believe Quinn is
Speaker 3: that much better than the LA even though there's no
Speaker 3: I think he's a good defensive coordinator as well.
Speaker 2: But super Bowl championhip, but I think Quinn is a
Speaker 2: better defensive coordinator.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's because the pieces he has, whatever the case
Speaker 3: may be, his defense right now is better than the
Speaker 3: Rams defense. So he Quinn got a track record, Okay,
Speaker 3: just like you know, two times Tu Bowl, Lisa, the
Speaker 3: boom was a thing, all right, went to went to Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Okay, twenty eighty three. They was up twenty eighty three,
Speaker 2: all right. He went to the Super Bowl as a
Speaker 2: as a head coach, was successful, It is successful as
Speaker 2: a office defensive coordinator. And now he's here and it's
Speaker 2: changed the whole culture. All right. So let's go back
Speaker 2: last year and you say man, dann Quinn, like we
Speaker 2: really believe in him as the guy as being the
Speaker 2: reason for now all of a sudden were saying, Okay,
Speaker 2: we got some dogs on our team, right right, walk
Speaker 2: out with the hat backwards and all that stuff. So
Speaker 2: I'm I'm always gonna take Dan Quinn. But like you said, Fay,
Speaker 2: we you know we've seen it. We've seen it. I
Speaker 2: remember with Tiger it was around now, I can only
Speaker 2: see it triple triple crown. They got a lot to
Speaker 2: do with that. We need to figure out a way
Speaker 2: to get ceedee lamb to be you know in that conversation,
Speaker 2: we just haven't been able to do it but the lab.
Speaker 2: But but I find that interesting, right So now, basically
Speaker 2: when I at the defensive coordinators into it, they nullify
Speaker 2: each other. It's a wash. It's a wash. It's a
Speaker 2: wash between there the rams UH head coach and offense coordinator.
Speaker 2: In our defensive coordinator and then on the side for
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy and and Raheem Morris. You're now saying you
Speaker 2: both the wash. Okay, now I'm saying the whole thing
Speaker 2: is a wash. I'm picking the offensive coordinator one side
Speaker 2: and the defensive coordinator on the other side. So I
Speaker 2: think it all evens out Dak and Matthew. See that.
Speaker 3: So that's what we're talking about, Dak and Matthew. As
Speaker 3: of right now, we're talking about this year. We ain't
Speaker 3: talking about the body of work. We ain'talking about none
Speaker 3: of that. We're talking about this year. Who, Yes, that's
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna go find. Matthew, I'm gonna go with
Speaker 3: that on this one. I'm gonna go with Dak because
Speaker 3: if you look at it, just this Sam mad so
Speaker 3: far this year, outside of one game, Dak has protected
Speaker 3: the football like that. The man has not turned the
Speaker 3: football over outside of that one game. And we all
Speaker 3: know Matt Stafford's you can make all the throws, he's
Speaker 3: super talented, but he'll also throw the football to the
Speaker 3: opposing team.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen that in the past, and we've
Speaker 2: seen that so far this year.
Speaker 3: So when you talking about a quarterback who I would
Speaker 3: trust in clutch time that can take a team down
Speaker 3: and get the job done, I'm gonna have to go
Speaker 3: with Prescott on that one, just on this year's sample size,
Speaker 3: because he's done a good job and not turned.
Speaker 2: The ball over. D MATC what you got. I'm just
Speaker 2: looking at Matthew Stafford right now. Seventeen and six interceptions,
Speaker 2: two multiple game interceptions, multiple multiple interception games, Cincinnati and
Speaker 2: San Francisco all be it, you know, really good defenses.
Speaker 2: It's it's not an easy one. Yeah, no, it ain't.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, it's not an easy one because the
Speaker 2: difference between them and we and we always put a
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of stock into super bowls. Okay,
Speaker 2: one of them has won the Super Bowl. One of them,
Speaker 2: one of them has won the Super Bowl, okay, and
Speaker 2: and it ain't the one on our squad. So that's
Speaker 2: what to me, that's what makes it a little bit
Speaker 2: more difficult, because difficult because when you say, okay, who
Speaker 2: do I trust to get us to the Promised Land, Well,
Speaker 2: one of those been there and very very recently, very recently,
Speaker 2: and he knows how to use his weapons. Like so
Speaker 2: when I'm looking at man, we need a big, a
Speaker 2: big time play or we need to make a drive
Speaker 2: down the field. It's hard not to pick the rams
Speaker 2: the season. I thought this game I'm talking about I'm
Speaker 2: talking about now what this game, but based off of
Speaker 2: the season, like, okay, what we've seen when we needed
Speaker 2: big time drives. Besides last week when back made when
Speaker 2: we haven't seen him, we haven't seen him do it,
Speaker 2: so that's what makes it a little bit more difficult.
Speaker 2: But like, since it's even and I'm on the Cowboys
Speaker 2: and I love the Cowboys, I'm gonna pick that back.
Speaker 2: But like that's one of the letter, right knows. That's
Speaker 2: why to me that also would have been a wash.
Speaker 2: So that's what he was doing yesterday, That's what I'm
Speaker 2: saying that straddling. I mean, he was over there and no,
Speaker 2: I was. I was about to pick Matthew Stafford easy.
Speaker 2: Then I looked at him and I see that he
Speaker 2: has seven touchdowns and six interceptions. Okay, So that's that's
Speaker 2: the only thing that turned me around from that. So
Speaker 2: now I'm like, okay, all right, well he's been turned
Speaker 2: the ball over to so but at the end of
Speaker 2: the game, at the end of the game, on the
Speaker 2: last drive of the game, who do you want you down?
Speaker 2: You're down by four, two minutes left in the game.
Speaker 2: Who do you want at your quarterback?
Speaker 3: I'm going with Dak because I believe one if we're
Speaker 3: going by this year, he's gonna pack the ball. But
Speaker 3: also he can he can hurt you with your legs
Speaker 3: as well. I feel like if a defense get pinned
Speaker 3: in on on Stafford, he got only his arm to
Speaker 3: go out there and do damage with.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go back on that, you know, I'm
Speaker 2: going you know, and then I can't wait to tell
Speaker 2: you how many interceptions Jalen Hurts has. But what we're
Speaker 2: gonna do next is we want to talking about back
Speaker 2: anyway when we come back. When we come back, we're
Speaker 2: gonna talk about our Thursday predictions. I think some people
Speaker 2: starting to make up some some some some you know
Speaker 2: win on this. You know, yeah, you talking about you're
Speaker 2: running away, you running away right another way with this
Speaker 2: that I think some other people is gaining ground after
Speaker 2: because we ain't being picked on the bye week, but
Speaker 2: we picking the day. Let me let me help you
Speaker 2: out and stop bringing up the Eagles. Okay, it's alert.
Speaker 2: They we already established the day on the hold of
Speaker 2: the level. We ain't talking about what they quarter because
Speaker 2: they lost one game. This interceptions we're talking about, we're
Speaker 2: talking about, we talking about who we want to let
Speaker 2: some I figured we know how many times. But anyway,
Speaker 2: that's what we're gonna talk about coming up next here
Speaker 2: on the players Lounge.

Speaker 2: of them. Uh TV sports my head looking at the
Speaker 2: play they just ran to get that tightened open. Was
Speaker 2: that's a good play out and up by the flap
Speaker 2: that was a good play. It's uh tonight? Who playing
Speaker 2: the night man? Come on?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 2: Oh well, I thought you Tampa Bay versus the bill?
Speaker 2: The bills. That's how I at the bills. The fine
Speaker 2: and a half point favorites. The Buffalo bills are so
Speaker 2: come on, shaking bank, half shaking bank. Pixy does does
Speaker 2: come into play that PIXI Now he's been talking about
Speaker 2: a roller coaster, talking about Josh Allen, that bad one
Speaker 2: week man. He's unstoppable. Next week he had the two picks,
Speaker 2: three picks total of ten points. And that's what I'm
Speaker 2: saying when I look around at the NFL and the
Speaker 2: teams that everybody's saying all the top teams and the
Speaker 2: Bills coming into the season was one of those teams.
Speaker 2: Josh Allen bro is the roller coaster that he's on
Speaker 2: right now, is dumb. When he throws an interception, it's
Speaker 2: almost like he goes, oh, I gotta give you another one, snowball.
Speaker 2: It ain't right unless I give you too. I can't
Speaker 2: give you one. I gotta give you another. And it's
Speaker 2: always in the red zone, always at a bad time
Speaker 2: when he he could turn into a punkin at any time.
Speaker 2: You like that dude, the crab table. You lose, you
Speaker 2: lose your first little bread and like I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: get it back and you're gonna sit holds up for
Speaker 2: you know, he got full picks And that's.
Speaker 3: What if you look at it, I'm like, he just
Speaker 3: doesn't believe in dumping it down like he just I
Speaker 3: got He feels like he has to make a comeback
Speaker 3: in one play, like it's got to be this big
Speaker 3: chunk play and it's wild hele heck though, because heck
Speaker 3: them went through.
Speaker 2: I mean six 'y five, two hundred and thirty pound quarterback.
Speaker 2: They rocket arm and he's still having figured out how
Speaker 2: to be efficient as a passer and not turn the
Speaker 2: ball over. He has one of the best wide receivers
Speaker 2: in the NFL. He still can't figure figure out a
Speaker 2: way how to get him the ball. But everybody else
Speaker 2: he can't get them active. He makes the reckless plays.
Speaker 2: We're asking for Dak to just run the ball more.
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're asking his brother to do,
Speaker 2: because it's like, you cannot continue doing that and expect
Speaker 2: to be healthy for eighteen weeks now, Yeah, he wire,
Speaker 2: But you know that's what I don't. I don't even
Speaker 2: know if I've picked them tonight, Baker Baker versus Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I do have a question before we
Speaker 2: get into the next stup. AFC. Okay, what you see
Speaker 2: from the AFC right now? Okay, just put your imaginary imaginer.
Speaker 2: If Aaron Rodgers was playing for the New York Jets
Speaker 2: right now, would they be the best team in AFC. No,
Speaker 2: it'd be close between them. In Kansas City. I think
Speaker 2: they will be the just just based off what we've
Speaker 2: seen with Zach that yeah, I imagine having Garrett Wilson
Speaker 2: with with Hall and then also Aaron Rodgers out there.
Speaker 2: I just I'm looking at him saying, and their defense like, yeah,
Speaker 2: Kansas City defense is real this year. So that's why
Speaker 2: it will be close. But I think it would be
Speaker 2: you're looking at the AFC and saying, man, you got
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow them. You don't know where where they're gonna
Speaker 2: end up at, but as far as the competition there them,
Speaker 2: uh balt at Baltimore, Kansas City, possibly New York. You're
Speaker 2: still even looking at New York right now saying, okay,
Speaker 2: not that you better watch out because they can actually
Speaker 2: make a run and still at least they stay in
Speaker 2: competition for the real The reason I say no is
Speaker 2: because they would have needed that offensive line to be
Speaker 2: that much better with because he can't. I mean, Zach
Speaker 2: Wilson has been able to get those throws off because
Speaker 2: he's more mobile. Ay right, get out of the pocket.
Speaker 2: Get out of the pocket. Okay.
Speaker 3: I think the difference is a rod would have had
Speaker 3: like all right, audible, he would have been spread getting
Speaker 3: the ball out. That's an interesting question. I think it'd
Speaker 3: be tight, though.
Speaker 2: I'm just I can imagine the frustration from the New
Speaker 2: York Jets fans believe in it or looking at it
Speaker 2: now and saying last year we thought we needed one
Speaker 2: piece definitely, like man was right, we just need that
Speaker 2: one right, we just need that one piece. And yes,
Speaker 2: I can imagine how frustrating this from him, you know,
Speaker 2: And then you look at Miami on the other side.
Speaker 2: Miami blew opportunity. But Tarik Hill his injury right now
Speaker 2: in the AFC, how that's gonna If he's like, legit,
Speaker 2: seriously hurt, that's gonna change everything for them because the
Speaker 2: Dolphins are gonna have to figure out a way.
Speaker 3: He's like he was literally toss this up. You got
Speaker 3: a safety in the corner, and this dude just outruns everybody.
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, area, and you know he's out there.
Speaker 2: But you know, we talked about this and we're not
Speaker 2: gonna change anything until new he gets back. But we
Speaker 2: talked about the bye week and we said, you know, look,
Speaker 2: we'll make changes on our season. Outlook after the bye week.
Speaker 2: As much of your season is gonna change from where
Speaker 2: you had it before, or would you turn some of
Speaker 2: those l's into w's.
Speaker 3: I would George, I think I wouldn't stay of saying
Speaker 3: I think I was like eleven and six mark. I
Speaker 3: believe I was at eleven and six CB. I mean,
Speaker 3: correct me if I'm wrong. But we've got met as
Speaker 3: eleven and six, and I think that's a that's a
Speaker 3: good mark. That's a good mark. You're gonna say that.
Speaker 3: I got your answer yesterday. You told me you as
Speaker 3: possible some changes coming.
Speaker 2: It changed change like I have to see how we
Speaker 2: come out of the bad week. But I'm glad we
Speaker 2: get the opportunity to see how we play against the
Speaker 2: Rams and then and then and then go into figuring
Speaker 2: out what we look like for the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: But last thing, last thing, Cowboys win or lose because
Speaker 2: of this. Cowboys win or lose because our secondary. We're
Speaker 2: gonna win because our secondary holds up against the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Rams. Then we lose because we lose because we
Speaker 2: don't figure out a way to hold the ball just
Speaker 2: a little bit to give our defensive risks. We win
Speaker 2: if they get back to that to where they were
Speaker 2: the first two games. Offense.
Speaker 3: As far as getting Tony Pollard involved, I mean he's
Speaker 3: only had thirty four carries in the past three games.
Speaker 2: That's just not enough for him. So they win.
Speaker 3: If they get him back involved and lose Pooking the
Speaker 3: Cool and Cup just start going crazy like that, that
Speaker 3: rush can't get there and those two I receivers start eating,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a long afternoon.
Speaker 2: We win. If Dak runs the damn ball, that's that's
Speaker 2: that's helping the Tony Pollard, that's helping everybody. But if
Speaker 2: Dak becomes turns of time back and becomes a mobile
Speaker 2: quarterback and he picks up those yards when they have
Speaker 2: us in man and man situations, they have their back turn.
Speaker 2: If Dak can get pick up those yards and becomes
Speaker 2: that playmaker that we need, the difference maker that we
Speaker 2: need in this offense, we win the game. If we
Speaker 2: lose the game, what you said happens, poo. If it's
Speaker 2: a whole but you're the announcing Pooking the Cool for
Speaker 2: a nine yard catch, Cooper Cup for a fifteen yard catch,
Speaker 2: now it's gonna be its gonna be a long Monday's
Speaker 2: gonna be a long Monday coming in him. But that's
Speaker 2: all right, that's what we did. That another hold on
Speaker 2: what we picked? Who we got tonight? Yeah? Who you got?
Speaker 2: I am taking the Buffalo Bills. I'll take the Buffalo
Speaker 2: bill winning by seven. Give me Pixie Dust Man, Pixie
Speaker 2: Dust Buffalo Bills. You going Baker shaking Banka. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go Buffalo. I'm gonna go. Yeah, I'm gonna go Buffalo.
Speaker 2: That's my pick. Hey, we'll be in tomorrow at two o'clock. Man,
Speaker 2: we're gonna get the rest of it. We gotta put
Speaker 2: our games together, the games together for y'all tomorrow. But man,
Speaker 2: we're gonna say it with our chest tomorrow. It's another
Speaker 2: show that says with the we're gonna say. We're gonna
