I don't know 18 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: the man, you know. I will say this, Danny, just 19 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: based on what you just said to start off the show. 20 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: They do play the Ravens. This year was to play 21 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: the ras I ain't worried about it. We will live 22 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: into other topics non Cowboy related throughout this show. All right, 23 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: First off, everybody, um, the schedule is the twenty twenty 24 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: schedule is out the National Football League. Chris, go ahead 25 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: and pop up that schedule. Let's look at the first 26 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: quarter of the schedule. The Dallas Cowboys are slated to 27 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: start the NFL season in Los Angeles, California, specifically Inglewood 28 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: at the new Sofi Stadium, where the Rams and the 29 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: Chargers are going to share the stadium. The Cowboys, interestingly enough, 30 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: are going to go ahead and take on the Chargers 31 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: in a preseason game. So September thirteenth on Sunday Night 32 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: AMBC by Sunday Night Football Rams. Then it's at home 33 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: against Maddie Icy Atlanta Falcons, then up to Washington to 34 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: face the Seattle Seahawks. Then a October fourth game against 35 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield the Cleveland Browns. All right, gentlemen, break down 36 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: these first three games. Here, Church, what do you see him? 37 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: I'm kind of conflicted here for these first the first 38 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: four games. Man. Overall, I feel like they have a 39 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: favorable schedule, but these first four and it's only it's 40 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: coming down the one team. For me, it comes down 41 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: to the Atlanta thoughts. I feel like they'll go through 42 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 1: um at La in that first game. But I feel 43 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: like the Atlanta file because they're a tricky team, man, 44 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: because I feel like they have a lot of momentum 45 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: coming into this year. I think I finished a year 46 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: pretty well, if I'm not mistaken. Last season, even though 47 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: they didn't make the playoffs, feel like they won the 48 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: last couple of games. But they got mighty ice there. 49 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: They got Julio Jones. They got a newly acquired Todd 50 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: Gurley in the backfield, and he's had success in things 51 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: Cowboy defenses in the past. So we shall see. But 52 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: that's a conflicting game for me. I got them winning it, 53 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: but I'm not quite sure about it. But the rest 54 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: of them, I feel like they should easily mop up 55 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: those last two games. But the conflicting one. Oh and 56 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm mistaken. Oh no, no, they will not 57 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: be to Seattle Sehawk. So the first the first that 58 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: got him more, I got him going maybe three and 59 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: one or two and two. Yeah, I'm a three and 60 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: one you had me confused church, which with the church? 61 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: You had me confused with the with the Seahawks and 62 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: mop them up. I was, I was, I was questioning 63 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 1: your no. I see, I mean I believe they beat 64 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: the Rams. I'm not even sure like what the Rams 65 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: are right now. They don't have cooks, they don't have girly, 66 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: they still have golf. So I think we go out 67 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: there and we get get a dub. The Falcons, I 68 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: think we get the win just because they are such 69 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: an iffy team. They have so much talent. They kind 70 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: of remind me of us, the old US. We have 71 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: talent on the roster, but we aren't able to get 72 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: those wins. So I think with the new regime coming in, 73 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: I think we go out there and we beat the 74 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: Falcons the red skin, I mean the Seahawks. I think 75 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: that is kind of up in the air. If it's 76 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: only fifteen or twenty percent capacity allowed in the stadium, 77 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: I think we have a better chance of winning because 78 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: that twelve man is a real thing, So that just depends. 79 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna chalk that up as an l And 80 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: we go out there and we beat LSU North. So 81 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: I got us going three and one. Okay, So three 82 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: and one for Church and mcraig to start the first 83 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: quarter of the schedule. Right, Let's look at the second 84 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: part of the Chris gored and throw that up on 85 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: the screen. There, Chris Bean who helps us out and 86 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: makes this whole podcast go. We appreciate Chris, all right. 87 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: So the second part is an October eleventh game against 88 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants. Joe Judge is a new 89 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: head coach there, Jason Garrett the offensive coordinator. Mark Columbo's 90 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: the offensive line coach. So it is a game against 91 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: the Giants. Then it's Monday night football as Kyler Murray 92 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: of Alan High School comes back to Jerry World to 93 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: take on the Cowboys. Then it is a game at 94 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: Washington and FedEx Field to take on that at that 95 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: sad outfit. And then it is a Sunday night football 96 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: game at Philadelphia. All right, So Church, start with me here, 97 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: give me the wins and losses for this quarter part 98 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: of the schedule. You guys might think I'm crazy for this, 99 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: but for this quarter in the schedule, I'm gonna go too. 100 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: And two I'm gonna go when they play New York. 101 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: I know New York's coming down here, and I know 102 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: they had all this success against New York, but I 103 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: feel like New York might be a little a little 104 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: name some juice to him. I feel like Garrett going 105 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: up there, coming down to Jerry World for the first 106 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: time with the New York Colors on, I think he's 107 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: gonna get a little bit of juice to them, and 108 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: I think they might steal one over in Jerry World. Um, 109 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: I feel like they'll easily mop up Arizona. That's a 110 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: that's a younger team. Yeah, they got DeAndre Hopkins, but 111 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: I don't think that jail right there that early in 112 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: the season will will click. So I think they'll get 113 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: rid of them pretty quickly. The Washington Redskins, like like 114 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: Danny's Ethel like they'll they'll mop them up as well. 115 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: But the Philadelphia Eagles, that'll be an intriguing matchup right there. 116 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure it was that Home or a 117 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: Way is a away game on Sunday night, Okay, that's 118 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: away game. So I feel like Phili will take that 119 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: one away. Um, they got all their their weapons back offensively, 120 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: if everybody's healthy, Plus they added some speed on the outside. 121 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: Plus they've had the Cowboys number here this last year, 122 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: So I feel like Philly will take that one and 123 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: get leaving the Cowboys two and two after the second quarter. 124 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: All right, McCray, Yeah, I'm I think will beat the Giants. 125 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: I do think that it will be one of those, uh, 126 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: those offensive games whereas it's scoring whoever's the last person 127 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: to score wins. They scoring fifty fifty five points because 128 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: I think j G has has it on his mind 129 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: that he has Danny Domes and say Quan to work 130 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: with it. He's gonna come out and try to prove 131 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: a point. But I think we still get that the Cardinals. 132 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: For me, man like history for me playing against the 133 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: Cardinals when I'm with the Cowboys is it's always super 134 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: tough and we never never know how it's going in. 135 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: So just just for that reason, I'm saying that they 136 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: come to town and and we lose that one. We 137 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: lose that one, and then we finish off the two 138 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: division games with the win. So it's another three and 139 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: one start for me in the second quarter of the season. Okay, 140 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: So at the halfway mark, Church, you got the Cowboys 141 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: at five and three. Craig, You've got the Cowboys at 142 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,559 Speaker 1: six and two. Let's go to the poor third quarter 143 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: of the schedule here, which starts November eighth against Ben 144 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then it is a game 145 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: on the road against Minnesota. Remember last year it was 146 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: a Sunday night game in which Kirk Cousins and company 147 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: came into Jerry World and ended up getting the win. 148 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: That's what table and Austin had the fair catch at 149 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: the end that we all question, which led to the 150 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: demise of Keith though Quinn's special teams coach. Then it's 151 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving Day game Washington comes to Arlington. And then 152 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: it's a December third game against MVP Lamar Jackson and 153 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens and Earl Thomas in Baltimore. So Church 154 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: run it down. How do you see this quadrant? As 155 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys started Pittsburgh, it ended up in Earl Thomas's town. 156 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: To me, this is going to be the hardest stretch 157 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: of the season by far from the Cowboys. I mean 158 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: they got a stretch right there which would have teams 159 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: that are experience have made the playoffs. How those Steelers 160 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: missed it last year, but they didn't have Ben Roethlisberger. 161 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: He's coming back fully healthy. They have to get you 162 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: just miss smooth Schuster on the rights track because last 163 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: year he kind of dropped off. But I feel like 164 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna have an impressive defense and they're 165 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: gonna bring an offense that I'm not quite sure our 166 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: defense can handle. So I'm gonna give Pittsburgh to win 167 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: on that one. Ken Folk Cousin, you know Kirk Cousins 168 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: over there in Minnesota, we gotta go up there as well. 169 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: I'm not seeing a victory there either. I feel like 170 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: he definitely had our number last year, as he performed 171 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: pretty well when he came down here, So that's going 172 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: up there. I don't see us getting that win at all. 173 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: I feel like they're too balanced of a team for us, 174 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: So I'll give us an l on that one. Um Washington, Yeah, 175 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: I think that'll be a rap. That'll be a deve 176 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: for us. And I believe that last game was that 177 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: against Philly. It's Baltimore at Baltimore. On the symbol Baltimore 178 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: at Baltimore. I'm sorry. Yeah, it's a Thursday night and 179 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: that Thursday night game, primetime game. You got the former 180 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: m v P Lamar Jackson right there. I just don't 181 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: think our defense can handle him. I think it's kind 182 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: of a that might be kind of a blowout on 183 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: Thursday night. But I'm gonna go Baltimore there as well. 184 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: So that's this third quarter. I'm gonna give the Cowboys 185 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: a one in three, all right, Church, And you want 186 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: to make sure I stretched this out, stressed this into 187 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: all of the Cowboys fans right now here on Dallas 188 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com. That Thursday night game against Baltimore is 189 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: a week after the Thursday game against the against UM 190 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: Washington at home, so it's not a short week. So 191 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: it's a full it's a full week. It's Thursday, and 192 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: then they play another Thursday. All right, Church, you go ahead, 193 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: give me your your your rundown here for Pittsburgh at 194 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota Thanksgiving Day against Washington and then on the road 195 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: at you Manuel Thomas's ten. Listen, I'm going to say 196 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: this season that we beat distillers. Distillers are coming in. 197 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: All they have is juju. I think we get that. 198 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: Dub McCarthy shows that he can be the top tier team. 199 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: We lose against the Vikings. Uh, you know the way 200 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: that week we came out last last season. They played 201 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: defense on us, they ran the ball until I see 202 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: something different. I think the Vikings still have the upper 203 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: hand on us. We beat the Redskins, and I mean, 204 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: if you're being honest with yourself, playing the Ravens and 205 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, if they anything close to what they were 206 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: last year, we will have a tough time beating them. 207 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give us the l on that one 208 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: as well. Okay, So Dan, you gotta win against Pittsburgh 209 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: and what do you have against Minnesota here? Again, I 210 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: gotta I got a loss against Minnesota, and then I 211 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: have a win against the Redskins, and I have a 212 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: loss against the Ravens, putting us at two and two. Okay, 213 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: two and two? So all right, Chris put up the 214 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: final part of the schedule here. It is a return 215 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: to Cincinnati for Andy Dalton. Then it is a Sunday 216 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: night football game against the San Francisco forty nine ers 217 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: who come to Arlington. Then it is a home game 218 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: against Philadelphia two days after Christmas. And then it is 219 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: the season finale January third, in New Jersey against the 220 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: New York Football Giants. All right, Barry Church, give me it. 221 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: Give me your take here these last four games, U're 222 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: kind of tricky, but I'm gonna I'm gonna give a 223 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: shot out of a shot at it here real quick. 224 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: Um at the Bengals, like you said, December thirteenth, that's 225 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: a Newton game. I think the Cowboys will be ready 226 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: to get up and play there easily. Um. I think 227 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: they take Joe Burrow and the Bengals down pretty quickly. 228 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: So I'll give them a win right there. Uh, San Francisco, 229 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: they don't have to make the trip out west, so 230 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: that's an advantage of San Francisco has to come here. 231 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: And it's a night game. It's a night game, and 232 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys played well on prime time. So 233 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them the dub against San Francisco right there, 234 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: um and gets Philly December twenty seven, three twenty five. 235 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: That's here in Cowboys Stadium, so earlier I gave Philadelphia 236 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: the win. I feel like they've they've thought they normally 237 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: split the series here and there um during the season, 238 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna give them a split series here and 239 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give the Cowboys to win. And then that 240 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: last game against New York with them going up to 241 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: New York and going against Garrett and those boys up there. 242 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: I feel like they'll win that one as well. So 243 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: I got them going undefeated through this last watch these 244 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: four games and in the season four and though okay, 245 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: all right, okay, okay, I'm close. I'm close on that 246 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: one I got. I got us getting to win against 247 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: the Bengals. But I think it'll be a tougher game 248 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: than we expect. They do have some offensive firepower there. 249 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: It is a twelve game. I think at this point 250 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: of the season, we're rolling a little bit, so we 251 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: gotta gotta fight that urge to let our let off 252 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: the pedal against a team that we believe is a 253 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: little a little lorder than us. But we still get 254 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: to win. I think we get a win against the 255 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: forty nine US tough game. I don't trust Jimmy g 256 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: so I think we should we should beat them. I 257 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: think it's a tight race at the end of the season. 258 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: So that Eagles game is very important for us. So 259 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: we go out there and we handle business and we 260 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: take a game off against we take a game off 261 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: against the Giants, because we got it all wrapped up. 262 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: We got our seat and everything locked in, so we 263 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: rest some of our players so we can get ready 264 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: for the playoffs. So that's ill, but that's you know, 265 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: only because of the circumstances. So three and one yea, 266 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: all right, So gentlemen, looking at what you have, Church, 267 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: do you like this record you got? You got a 268 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: tenant six mark for the Cowboys and h Gray, you've 269 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: got the Cowboys going eleven in five. Yeah. The schedule, 270 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: the schedule says that, man. And of course all this 271 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: is based on what we believe the teams are, how 272 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: they played last year, because we no one can know 273 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: how how they will be this year. But looking at 274 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: the schedule and the teams that we have on there 275 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: and how they performed last year, if they just get 276 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: a little bit better, I still think that we have 277 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: a chance to run this schedule pretty pretty nice. Yeah. 278 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: John Clayton, Hall of Fame, NFL writer, he writes from 279 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: Washington Post. He's written down the teams. The five teams 280 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: have the easy schedules in the NFL, and the Cowboys 281 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: are one of those five teams. So you've got the 282 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys eleven and five or Gray Church, you got him 283 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: tenant six. This will get them in the playoffs. Here's 284 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: the question. Does this win the NFC each for the 285 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys In your opinion, Dan, Yes, Yes, I don't. I 286 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: really I don't know how good the Eagles are going 287 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: to be. They are a question mark. But I don't 288 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: believe that the Giants and the Redskins are are going 289 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: to be in competition for the division crown. So I 290 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: really think it's just between us and the Eagles and 291 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: we sweep them. So I believe that that we win 292 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: a division this year. Church, Yeah, I'm gonna have to 293 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: agree with McCray on this one. I'm gonna have to 294 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: go with the Cowboys winning the division. Usually it's it's 295 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: between Philadelphia and Dallas to win this division. They go 296 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: back and forth. I think Washington they're gonna be a 297 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: little bit better than they were last years, as well 298 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: as the New York Giants, but I just don't think 299 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: they're there yet to compete for this division division titles. 300 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: So I think it'll come down to the Philadelphia Eagles 301 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys. I think they'll put that series. But overall, 302 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have a better record because the Eagles have 303 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: a tougher record, being as they want a division last year, 304 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: so I gotta give it to the Cowboys, and I 305 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: think they'll make the playoffs this year. All right. So 306 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys with five prime time games this year. They 307 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: will play Monday night, that's a that's against Arizona. They 308 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: got three Sunday night football games that They've got, that 309 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: Thursday night game in December, December third against the Baltimore Ravens, 310 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: and of course we know they got the annual Thanksgiving 311 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: Day games. So a lot of Cowboys on your television screen. 312 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: Gerald McCoy has joined the Cowboys son a one year deal, 313 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: and Gerald McCoy had an interesting take on opening up 314 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: the season against the Los Angeles Brands his Gerald McCoy 315 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: last night on Dallas Cowboys dot com. Yeah, those divisional 316 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: games are huge and what the home or away. You 317 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: always want to do your best to win those divisional games. 318 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: And like you said, that's when you get into We're 319 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: getting into those games where you're getting into the meat 320 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: of the schedule and it's around you know, like mister 321 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: Jones said in November December is when people are playing 322 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: the best football. But you really start to figure out 323 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: who you are after week seven. In the week eight, 324 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: then you kind of start to see who's really who 325 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: and teams start to develop into who they really are. 326 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: You know, you have those first three four weeks where 327 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: people might be like, oh, well this team is going 328 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: directly to the super Bowl, and then as the season 329 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: stretches out, it's like, well, they not really.

We're gonna 387 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: all have a memory, Jarl is all the players are coaches, 388 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to have a memory of having played 389 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: that first regular season game against the Los Angeles RAYN 390 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: team that stepped out there and they entertainment capital of 391 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: the world in that iconic stadium, and your Dallas Cowboys 392 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: are coming out there to show up on center sting. 393 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: So I see it. I feel it feels like the 394 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys really to get to be out there and be 395 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: in that gorgeous new stadium. On a personal basis, I 396 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: was born almost where that stadium sits. I was born 397 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: in Englewood, right off the end of the runway, and 398 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: I have a lot of my cousins and second, first, second, 399 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: third cousins out there, and it'd been an exciting time 400 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: to go back out there and take these down as 401 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys and put it on those Los Angeles rams. But 402 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: it's a big night. I was having my fingers crossed 403 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: that we'd get a chance to open that stadium against 404 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: the win. All right, that is Hall of Fame owner 405 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones was born in El Segundo, California, and Jerry 406 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: was given the key to the city before the Cowboys 407 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: ended up playing Super Bowl twenty seven at the Rose Bowl. 408 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: That was the first Super Bowl won by Jerry Jones 409 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,959 Speaker 1: and Jimmy Johnson. So he gets to take the Cowboys 410 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: to Los Angeles to open up the new stadium that 411 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: he and stand Crunky helped get done. Jerry's very inteable 412 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: part of helping get football in Los Angeles and Danny 413 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: and Berry not sure if you know this. And Jerry 414 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: said this last year on one or five three the 415 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: fan the Cowboys to put a radio home, that the 416 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: NFL came to him and asked him if he would 417 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: be willing to sell the Cowboys and they would give 418 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: Jerry the Los Angeles market and send Jerry on out 419 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: there to just really get LA going. Jerry said no, 420 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: but he would be helpful in terms of helping the 421 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: NFL get back to Los Angeles. McCray, what do you 422 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: think about that? Jerry could have been the owner of 423 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: whatever LA team and running I think old by himself, 424 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: but he decided to stay with the Cowboys. First of all, 425 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: one Jerry loves the Cowboys. It's like one of his children. 426 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: He will I don't believe he will ever let it go. 427 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,959 Speaker 1: So I mean I know that they I know they 428 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: had to know that they were reaching when they asked, 429 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: and that he would probably say no. But I mean, 430 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: you just gotta give it a shot. So think that 431 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: Jerry also knows that when there's something this big going 432 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: on in the NFL, the Cowboys are gonna be a 433 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: part of it. When you opening up a stadium in LA. 434 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: His fingers were crossed the he but he knew in 435 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: the back of his mind that we would be the 436 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: first team up to open up the stadium because you 437 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: want to get as much attention and notoriety on it 438 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: as possible. So he's he's accustomed to doing things like this. 439 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: Even though he had his fingers crossed. I'm sure he 440 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: already knew that it was it was. It was in 441 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: the works. Church your thoughts, Jerry Jones. It could have 442 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: been the owner of an NFL franchise in LA and 443 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: would have sold the Cowboys. Yeah, he made the right decision. 444 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta agree with McCray on this one. 445 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: Like he said, he pretty much you know, raised the 446 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys franchise into this multi billion dollar empire. That's the 447 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: face of the NFL right now. And and like he said, 448 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have their fingers and everything when it comes 449 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: to the NFL. So we pretty much knew that if 450 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: the La Rams were opening up a stadium to get 451 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: the if the seats are filled, if we can fill 452 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: the seats him with this whole COVID night thing, the 453 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: team going thing going around, if they can feel the seats, 454 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: the only team that would be able to do that 455 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: would be the Dallas Cowboys. So, like mcrai said, in 456 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: the back of his mind, he knew that we were 457 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,239 Speaker 1: gonna be able to in that first opening game. But 458 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: like I said, he made the right decision. And the 459 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys are multi billion dollar empire now. And he's the 460 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: main reason that the um they're that beneficial. All right, 461 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: Barry staying right there, And this is something that I 462 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: get from Danny mc craig is Danny. Danny's our big 463 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: time realists here. We don't know what's gonna happen right 464 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: now with the NFL, and we're putting out the schedule like, hey, 465 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: everything is all good. We don't even know if the 466 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna be able to go out to auction 467 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: our California for training King because right now the governor California, 468 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: Gavin Gavin Newsom, has that stayed on lockdown. So who 469 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: knows what's going to happen in terms of the Cowboys 470 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: being able to even play in Los Angeles. And if 471 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: they do, maybe it's fun and no fans, but but 472 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: who knows right now? Where your thoughts on that? Yeah, 473 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: I mean who knows. Like you said, man, I mean, 474 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: right now, we're in the time that we don't even 475 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: know anything about, and we never experienced such a such 476 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: a pandemic like this, and for the NFL to you know, 477 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: they're trying to keep give people hope that you know, 478 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: the season's gonna start, We're gonna gonna put our fans 479 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: in there and all that good stuff. But like you said, 480 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: we just don't know. We don't know how fastest thing 481 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: can spread again if we get masses together, or how 482 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: fast we can get a vaccine for it. So we 483 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: just don't know. And I think it would be it 484 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: would be a bad bad news if if there was 485 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: no football for the American public throughout the season. I 486 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: mean that that would be pretty bad. McCray, Yeah, same here. 487 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: I think it would be really bad, especially since that 488 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: means that we've gone that long without having any other 489 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: sports besides UFC putting on a few fights. I think 490 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: people will be going crazy about then bed and fantasy football, 491 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: everything that it's around the NFL season not taking place 492 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: or have people going a little crazy. Um yeah, honestly, 493 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: and then with the with the pandemic going on, I 494 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: just at this point, we don't know. I mean, the 495 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,479 Speaker 1: NFL has to do, you know, business as usual. They 496 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: have to to plan like they're still going to be 497 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: able to play, so it would be irresponsible for them 498 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: not to have a schedule. But I did hear something 499 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: about them having a contingency plan with if you don't 500 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: play a game in week one, then you'll play that 501 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: game in week eighteen, and then week two, if you 502 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: don't have a game, you'll play that game in week 503 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: nineteen and so on. So I mean it's it's good 504 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: to hear that they have a plan and the season 505 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: will still be able to play out even if it's delayed. 506 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: So everybody's fingers across man. But like like Neuis said, 507 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: if you're being real about it until we really see 508 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: a drastic change and how this pandemic is affecting us. 509 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: My hopes are our modest at best. To me, it's 510 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: going to be very interesting to see you, particularly by 511 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: the time we get to September. What states are in? 512 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: What states aren't. Let me just throw this scenario out here, 513 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: and Danny, I'll start with you. What if California is 514 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: not going to allow football to happen and other states 515 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: are you could you see the NFL going to stand 516 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: crockey and saying, all right, Stan, move your game from 517 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: Los Angeles to Dallas to start the season. Your thoughts on, 518 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah, most definitely. Yeah. I don't think 519 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: they will let one state hold them back if you 520 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 1: have another option, right, If you can't play in LA, 521 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: then play in Texas. This is football. You say, we 522 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: play wherever. They'll let us play. Like Bruce Arians, you 523 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: lie them up, put them on the field, and we'll 524 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: play them. It doesn't matter what stadium, what arena we're in, 525 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: We'll play football. So I mean, yeah, if California don't 526 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: want to play, bring him to Texas. We know we'll 527 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: let them in Church. Let me throw this out here 528 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: to you, just looking at the schedule the first three 529 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: games for the Cowboys. Okay, so it's at Los Angeles 530 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: home against Atlanta, and then it's at Seattle. We've seen 531 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 1: California and Washington hit hard by COVID nineteen. I remember 532 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: when the Rangers and the Seattle Mariners was supposed to 533 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: face each other to start the Major League Baseball season 534 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: and their governor ended up she ended up shutting down 535 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: all activities in Washington. So what about the possibility that 536 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: the Cowboys first three games, two of which are being 537 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: one in California and one in Washington, one in Washington, 538 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: could be games they don't play if those states do 539 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: not open up. Your thoughts, Yeah, if those states do 540 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: not open up, that'll be, like, like mcfrai said, that'll 541 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: be extremely tricky. I mean, like I said, this is 542 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: a Marquis franchise that you know, the NFL kind of hair, 543 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: has their backs and they want to they want to 544 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: see them on the field and want to see their 545 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: their product on the field. But if this COVID nineteen 546 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: thing is still going around, with California and with Washington 547 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: being hit so hard, I can see them saying, you know, 548 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: those games aren't being taken they're not going to be 549 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: taken out there, so they might flip them and have 550 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: them and Cowboys starting, you know, three straight home games. 551 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: I could see that happening as well. But I just 552 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: think there's so much money out there for the NFL 553 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: as as an organization and for these franchises that I 554 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: can see them playing games. I just don't know if 555 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: it'll be in front of people or if we'll just 556 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: have to go all to where states are allowing these 557 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: these things. If he played, but that's just a lot 558 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: of money out there to lose. If if this pandemic 559 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: is a continuing I'll tell you what. One positive about 560 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: this is that, uh, you know, the NFL stadiums will 561 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: be open, so you won't run into an issue of 562 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: there's a concert plan, so you won't be able to 563 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: adjust and have the home team be the away team 564 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: or away team be the home team because the venue 565 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: is already put these these venues should be open, and 566 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: they should be able to adjust to have a home 567 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: team becoming away team if they need to in order 568 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: to play the game. This is the players lounge on 569 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: a Friday. I knew he scrugs on time. Cowboys reporter 570 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,959 Speaker 1: Danny mccraigberry Church joined me every Friday the former Dallas 571 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys defensive backs. Let's talk about quarterback Andy Dalton. So 572 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: we did our show on Friday. Andy was not signed. 573 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: The Cowboys end up getting him on a one year deal. 574 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: He gets three million dollars up to seven million dollars 575 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: based on incentives. I have seen a whole lot of 576 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Watch his entire career at TCU, which ended 577 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: with a Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin. He also played 578 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: against Kellen Moore twice during his TCU career when Kellen 579 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: was a quarterback in boys and State. They were both 580 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: in the Mountain West Conference together. I'm gonna start with you, 581 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: Danny mccrage, your thoughts on Andy Dalton coming in here 582 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: as a backup quarter and you know right now, I'm 583 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: still I'm still pushing this July fifteen to see if 584 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: if he's actually going to be the backup quarterback, is 585 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: that gonna show up? And then Jerry and them have 586 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: to be looking at this offense and saying, all right, 587 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton is not Matt Castle a right, He's better 588 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: than that with the weapons that we have around him 589 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: on the offense, if we have to put him into play. 590 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: I believe he could still win us some games. So 591 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: I mean Andy Dalton as a competitor and a nine 592 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: year starter has to be thinking the same way to 593 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: some extent. Now, him being a backup, I think that's 594 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: great because if you if you're starting caliber, you should 595 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: be able to back up a guy when you get 596 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: on the field. So I still think it's a great move. 597 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: I think it puts a little pressure on this contract 598 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: situation with Dak as well. For me, I think it 599 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: was an extremely smart move by the Cowboys as as 600 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: an organization. I think on both fronts and some smart move. 601 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: For one, you haven't experienced quarterback that can go in 602 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: there and if anything happens to Dad, you know, he 603 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: gets hurt or anything like that, he can step in 604 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: there and play. He can help, you know, mold dass 605 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: game and show him how he's experienced and pretty much 606 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: be that backup quarterback that we needed we never had 607 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: in the past. And on the other front, on the 608 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: contract situation, if you know that's trying to hold out 609 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: and doesn't want to play and we've starting game, we 610 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: haven't experienced quarterback back there that with all these weapons 611 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: around him, should be able to produce on a fairly 612 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: high level. So I think it's a extremely great move 613 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: on both both behalfs and hopefully it works out for 614 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: the season all right. Andy Dalton has won seventy games 615 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: and nine seasons in the National Football League. He took 616 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: Cincinnati to the playoffs five times. He's a three time 617 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. One thing that I know from reading my 618 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: social media, there's some Cowboy fans that aren't really familiar 619 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: with how the Jones family has dealt with backup quarterbacks 620 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: during their tenures since buying the team in nineteen eighty nine, 621 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: They've always had good backup quarterbacks. I go back to 622 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: Steve Burline when Jimmy Johnson was the head coach of 623 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: Steve Burline helped the Cowboys win some games and going 624 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. They ended up winning that Bears game 625 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: before they ended up losing to the Lines, and Steve 626 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: Burline started those two playoff games for them. Bernie Kosar 627 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: was cut by Bill Belichick and the Cleveland Browns. Jimmy 628 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: picked up Bernie. Bernie came in to the NFC Championship 629 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: game against the forty nine Ers and helped deliver a 630 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: victory there as The Cowboys ended up going on to 631 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: win Super Bowl twenty eighth or second win over the 632 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Rodney Pete was a backup quarterback. Detroy Eightman 633 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: random cutting hand was here's a backup back. We saw 634 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: Kyle Orton backing up Tony Romo. We saw John kitting 635 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: A backing up Tony Romo. So Andy Dalton falls in 636 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: line and what the Cowboys have always trying to do 637 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: if they found a capable backup player, a guy who's 638 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: been a starter. It's almost been a pit stop for guys. 639 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: Because Berlin ended up leaving the Cowboys and going to 640 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: play again. We saw that with Bernie Kozar, we saw 641 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: we've seen it with other dudes. Andy says, hey, how 642 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: they reevaluate my career here for the season, get some 643 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: work with Mike McCarthy, and he hopes to get back 644 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,239 Speaker 1: on the market next year and become a starter. So 645 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys have made a pretty good move here, 646 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: And I also, Dany I would think this is I 647 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: don't think this is a negotiating issue at all. I 648 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: think this is the Cowboys doing what they've always done. 649 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: I don't feel like this has any type of effect 650 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: on the negotiations with Dak Mussen. Yeah, any type type 651 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,239 Speaker 1: of at all. You ain't saying nothing. You don't think 652 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: it has anything to do with the contract situation. This 653 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: is about years. They pretty much have agreed to money. 654 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: By all reports, it's a number of years. Dak wants 655 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: four years, the Cowboys want five, five or six. Now 656 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: think about it. Now, you go back and just look 657 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: at the deals they've signed. They got six year deal 658 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: for Zekiel. Basically, the Cowboys aren't doing four year deals 659 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: with anybody. Zach Martin signed for more than four years, 660 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: Tak signed for more than four years, Amari Cooper was 661 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: a five year deal. The Cowboys don't want to do 662 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: a short deal. That's not how they do business. Dak 663 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: wants to do a short deal se get back on 664 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: the market. So it's not about the dollars. This is 665 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: about how long deal looks. But no way that I mean, 666 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: that's but newly that's that's the point. You just said 667 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys don't do four year deals, and Dak 668 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: is wanting a four year deal. So even though it's 669 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: not about the money, that's still a big part of 670 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: the negotiation. So even though it's not them having to 671 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: pay him more money. The guy wants a four year deal. 672 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: So as you explained that, they're far off in negotiations. 673 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: So I don't think they made this this move intentionally 674 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: to affect the negotiations, but I think it will have 675 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: an effect on how they move forward with this. I believe, gentlemen, 676 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 1: on July buy because the day the deadline is July fifteen. 677 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 1: On July fifteenth, there will be a deal done. I 678 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 1: just I just noticed the Cowboys have always gotten their man. 679 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,839 Speaker 1: And if they got the Ezekiel Elliot deal done, because 680 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: to me, that was the one time where I was 681 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: really wondering if Jerry Jones and Stephen We're gonna stick 682 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: to their guns where they said we're not going to 683 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: reset the market, and they reset the market. Ezekiel still 684 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: had years left on his deal. So if Ezekiel Elliot's 685 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: getting done, you better believe Dak Prescott. But but knew it, 686 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: but knew it, knew it. Remember, remember they saw what 687 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: the team looked like without Ezekiel Elliott UH the year before, 688 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: so they knew they didn't want to go into that. 689 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: They haven't seen that with Dak. I think that this 690 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: situation is just a little different, but you know you're optimistic, 691 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,399 Speaker 1: so July fifteenth will see. Yes, I am optimistic, very 692 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm optimistic. I'm not buying into Danny's Danny's turned down 693 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: the Naked brow. I'm going to stay positive and just 694 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: also go. But history, all right, see Bay history shows 695 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: that the cowboys get their guys. They always do. I mean, 696 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: they always get there. They get the tank Lawrence, you know, 697 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: they got the Crawfords, like you know, Hitch they let 698 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: Hitchens walk out the door. I don't know about that, 699 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 1: but I mean you're you're right, they do get their guys. 700 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: But I mean, like mccrai said, if if they're a 701 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 1: year off on negotiations, they're still pretty far off on it. 702 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: So we'll see, Like you guys said, we shall see 703 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: July fifteen today. But my question is, if he doesn't 704 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 1: sign by the fifteen, does he show up to camp. 705 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: Does he have it in them to just be like nah, 706 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: I ain't showing a period that will play. I mean, 707 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: keep in mind, you're still going to get thirty one 708 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: million dots. Okay. I don't think the truth man, Joe, 709 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: because it keep in mind by the fifteenth that there's 710 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: not a deal done, they can't do a long term deal, 711 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 1: so it has to get done by July fifteen. So 712 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: come July fifteen, if there is no deal that's agree to, 713 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: then it is a one your contract for thirty one 714 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: million dollars. So that that that's just how it's going 715 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: to be. And Lord knows, as a quarterback you can't 716 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 1: just sit out, and with all this talent around here, 717 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: if he sits out, he's just gonna drive his own 718 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: market value down. So I don't see a I don't 719 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 1: see him not reporting at all. Barry he Dak Prescott 720 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: will quarterback the Cowboys in season. It's just the whole 721 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: question market is it on a one year deal or 722 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: a long term deal? And I feel like it'll be 723 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: on a long term deal. I'm going with a one piece. 724 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going with the piece. Ye. No, no, 725 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: we've been talking about this, but how when we started 726 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: this show were talking about that contract they talking about 727 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: they been talking about years ago. We're talking about this. 728 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: You're okay, you're right, You're right now. I'm gonna go 729 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: by history again, okay, because history is a good barometer. 730 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: What happened with Cooper went down to the end didn't man. Yeah, yeah, 731 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,800 Speaker 1: that's not that's not to say Cooper was here for 732 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: Cooper was here for one year. Let let me finish. 733 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: Let me finish now, all right, all right, my man? 734 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: Fa what was zeke? Ellie? What'd that? Dude went down 735 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: to the end, didn't pretty much went down to the end. 736 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: We take Lawrence pretty much went down to the end. 737 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: This is kind of how they do business here. Zack 738 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: Martin even held out. Okay, he decided not to show 739 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: up to the OTA. I mean, they had to get 740 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: that deal done. So this is kind of in line 741 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: with what we've seen here. Luckily, and at the end 742 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: of the day, they get the guy they want. When 743 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: they say they want you, they don't let you go. 744 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: I knew he take take take Lawrence out of it 745 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: because he played on the franchise tag, all right, so 746 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: he was you gotta take him out. They got him, 747 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: but he was franchise tag, so so that don't count them. Yeah, 748 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: Cooper was here for one year and he was about 749 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 1: to leave. They had to do it because it was 750 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: no it was no franchise tag for him. Oh yeah, 751 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: the law took who Yes, it was the second way 752 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: he was like said I'm not doing this again. I'm 753 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: not doing I mean, you know that's the other way. 754 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 1: My history there is pretty pretty decent um. We got 755 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: to take another break here. We My gosh, it's forty 756 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: minutes after. We are just chewing up so much time. 757 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: I still have a whole bunch of topics that I 758 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: haven't gotten to yet. There's one signing that the Cowboys 759 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: made that I don't think people are talking about enough, 760 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: that they do enough to help out this defense, and 761 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,959 Speaker 1: an issue that all three of us have talked about 762 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: off the year.

I'm 804 00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: doing we scruggs long time Cowboys reported joined by former 805 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys players Danny McCray and Barry Church. All right, gentlemen, 806 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: A signing that I don't think people are talking about enough, 807 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: which I believe is very important. That is Cam Irving 808 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 1: coming on on a one year deal to be the 809 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 1: swing tackle for the Cowboys. He late with the Chiefs 810 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: last year. Chief says we know won the Super Bowl. 811 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns, had a tenure 812 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: there that did not did not live up to the building. 813 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 1: But I believe this is big. Cam Fleming ended up 814 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,720 Speaker 1: leaving to go to the New York Giants. Tyrant Smith 815 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: has missed three games the last four seasons, if we 816 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: know he's going to miss time, and then last year 817 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: that Jets game, Tyran was out, but we also saw 818 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: Lel Collegs missed that game as well. So to me, 819 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,399 Speaker 1: I think Cam Irving is a signing that matters. Church. 820 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I agree with you on that one. I 821 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,760 Speaker 1: think this is just as important as the Andy Dalton signing. 822 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you got to have a quality backup at 823 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: an important position. And as we've seen, like you said, 824 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith, Pie's misstime with his back and injuries like that, 825 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: and we've seen Lyle Collins have injuries and throughout this 826 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 1: throughout the last season. So to have a guy that 827 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 1: can swing tackle between both a quality pickup of a 828 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: veteran guy who's had experience out there's a he's a 829 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: solid piece for this offense and you need depth pieces. 830 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: So I think this is a very very solid pickup 831 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys. Yeah. Same here. I mean in the 832 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 1: over the past, I want to say you know, and 833 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: Barry you went through it yourself. Go ahead, then, oh 834 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 1: go go, go ahead. We moved it all right. I 835 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: was to say, here, you guys both you guys have 836 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: both made the Dallas Cowboys is undrafted free agents, and 837 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,439 Speaker 1: I was looking at the class of kids they bought, 838 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 1: brought in here and signed and looking at the biosh, 839 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: there's some pretty impressive resumes here. Do you guys see 840 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 1: any particular player that you like? As they get ready 841 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: for some of these camp battles, he say, hey, look 842 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 1: out for that guy. And I ain't going to take 843 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,439 Speaker 1: credit on when Barry Church came out of Toledo, I said, 844 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 1: there's a guy I think from that team, when Romo, 845 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,040 Speaker 1: when Romo came from Eastern Illinois, I had a conversation 846 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 1: with Terrence Newman. I said, hey, I like this Romo guy. 847 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 1: I know he was the Walter Pig player of the 848 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: year and you played against him. And Terrence told me 849 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: he is the Carson Palmer of small school quarterbacks, because 850 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 1: that year Carson Palmer was a number one pick of 851 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals and Terrence had played for them both. 852 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 1: So so um, go ahead, give me your guy, all right. 853 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: So so so I take it. Um. My guy is 854 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: a is a safety from Illinois State, Luther Kirk. He 855 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 1: was the MVP of the of the Shrine Game. We 856 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 1: don't have enough safeties on the roster right now. We 857 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: talked about that being something that we addressed in the draft, 858 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,800 Speaker 1: but they waited. They waited until after the draft to 859 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: address that. And I think this kid can play U. 860 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: He's not the fastest, you know, he ran around him 861 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 1: in between four or five and four to six. He's explosive, 862 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 1: jumped to thirty nine inch vertical broad jumped ten foot 863 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 1: six inches. He had some streams seven seventeen reps on 864 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 1: the two twenty five. So I think he's a prototypical 865 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: special teams guy for his first year, and he can 866 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: learn from those two guys that are starting ahead of him, 867 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: and he can be one of those developmental guys who 868 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,720 Speaker 1: shows up in a year or two in a starting lineup. 869 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: That that was a solid pick right there. For myself, 870 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go with Francis Bernard, the linebacker 871 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: out of Utah. Now, this is a guy who he 872 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: started out as his careers are running back. They went 873 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 1: to b YU and then took off a year and 874 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: then signed back with Utah and as a senior year, 875 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,320 Speaker 1: he led the team in tackles. He's a very quarterback 876 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 1: of the defense type of linebacker. I mean he's not 877 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: the fastest. He went to the combat. I think he 878 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 1: ran into four sevens and whatnot, but he's extremely smart. 879 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 1: He knows how to quarterback of defense and he knows 880 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: what he's doing in past coverage. And you can never 881 00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 1: have enough linebackers back in rush the passle or that 882 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,800 Speaker 1: can drop back in pass counters. So we've seen with 883 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 1: the linebackers in the past with the Cowboys, they had 884 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 1: injury history. We've seen Lake Vandreas out for multiple games. 885 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 1: We've seen Sean Leo for multiple games. So just to 886 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,879 Speaker 1: bring an up the death piece in there, like mccrai said, 887 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: that can that can contribute on special teams as well 888 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: as well as being a depth piece for this linebacker corps. 889 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: I think he has a great chance of making the team, 890 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 1: but like you said, you gotta put a work on 891 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 1: the field first. I'm gonna go with two tight ends 892 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna watch very much. Charlie Tima payout with 893 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 1: the Portland State. He's a pass catching tight end and 894 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,440 Speaker 1: then Sean McKeon is a big tight end from Michigan 895 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 1: and he can block. Look for Charlie to see if 896 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 1: he can work on his blocking. He was an All 897 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 1: American at the FCS level. I just don't know if 898 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: Dalton Shot, I mean Dalton Schultz is gonna end up 899 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,839 Speaker 1: making his team as a backup tight end. I think 900 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,359 Speaker 1: that we could see one of these rookie tight ends 901 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 1: sneak in here, But Charlie Timber Payout is gonna be 902 00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: a guy like a whole lot here. McCraw, uh yeah, 903 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 1: I mean we need something to go with Blake Jarwin 904 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: and the tight end position, as we see across the league, 905 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 1: if you look at the Kittles of the world, is 906 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 1: a very important position, especially if you come across a 907 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 1: guy who's athletic enough to block and create a mismatch 908 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: on out on the outside if he's going against a 909 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 1: cornerback or on the inside when he playing against linebackers 910 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,240 Speaker 1: and tight ends. So I think it's a good position 911 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 1: to watch him. Hopefully we can strike gold with with 912 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:34,480 Speaker 1: one of these guys. Church take me back to your 913 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,840 Speaker 1: time being an un drafted free agent. Why did you 914 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: pick the Cowboys? Who else? Offered you. And also the 915 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: stress of trying to make an NFL roster. Oh, well, 916 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,080 Speaker 1: for me, yeah, it was. It was super stressful for me, 917 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, because I didn't think it happened that quick 918 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: after the draft. You know, I was heartbroke. I didn't 919 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,239 Speaker 1: get drafted or whatnot. But um, as soon as the 920 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: draft was over, my agent said, hey, all right, you 921 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: got basically like ten minutes to pick a team. Um, 922 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 1: these teams that you want to pursue. So I thought, 923 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 1: you know, I was gonna have a couple of days 924 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,400 Speaker 1: or something that pick a team. I wanted to do 925 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: research on it, but I had to go pretty quick. 926 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 1: And my agent told me, he's like, you know, the 927 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys special teams reached out to us at the time. 928 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: It was Joe D. Camillus and he was saying he 929 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 1: liked it for your game, and that's the fastest way 930 00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 1: to make the team is through special teams, and then 931 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 1: you might have a chance to play on defense. So 932 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,720 Speaker 1: I went with my agents gut feeling, and I decided 933 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: to sign with the Cowboys. And I ended up being 934 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 1: in a great situation. I had a great leadership up 935 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,839 Speaker 1: there with jeral Cincinmball and our coaches at the time, Brett, 936 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,399 Speaker 1: Maxie and Campbell were great and act accelerating my game 937 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 1: on the field and defensively. So um I ended up 938 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,880 Speaker 1: picking a right situation. But it's definitely a stressful, stressful 939 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,640 Speaker 1: pass to take. Man, you know, you gotta make a 940 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 1: decision extremely fast. Right after the draft, Murcraig, I'm gonna 941 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 1: be a homer here. But let me also bring up 942 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,600 Speaker 1: running back Darius Anderson had TCU. He has to kick 943 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: returnability here. He also was a tough guy that could 944 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 1: kind of get between those tackles as well. That's a 945 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 1: running back and I think about where the Cowboys look 946 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,399 Speaker 1: if they carry for that, I can see him being 947 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 1: maybe that third tailback kind of guy, but also a 948 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: dude who plays special teams. That was how you made 949 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 1: the Cowboys here. And I just feel like a guy 950 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,400 Speaker 1: who's got experienced already playing special teams in college has 951 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 1: a little bit of an edge, especially if they do 952 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:24,280 Speaker 1: not have a full training camp in OTAs. Yeah, definitely, 953 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,319 Speaker 1: because most of the time what you see from these 954 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,160 Speaker 1: guys coming out of college, especially the starters, is that 955 00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 1: they hadn't played special teams before. So it takes the 956 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,520 Speaker 1: coaches a little bit more time to get these dudes 957 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,399 Speaker 1: trained and developed to play these different positions and get 958 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,320 Speaker 1: used to these new movements. So with him being a 959 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: guy who's already played special teams and already being labeled 960 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,360 Speaker 1: as tough and a guy who never quits and can 961 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 1: go out there and play something like that, I think 962 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,919 Speaker 1: it's definitely advantaged for him when he steps on the field. 963 00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:01,840 Speaker 1: Church Cam Newton unsigned, your thoughts, I was, I'm pretty 964 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 1: much surprised right now that he's unsigned. And then I 965 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 1: think he came out the other day with something some money. 966 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 1: Doesn't want to be a backup quarterback or something like that. 967 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,919 Speaker 1: He wants to be a starter, and I know it's 968 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:13,879 Speaker 1: just gonna be hard for him to break the break 969 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 1: any team through with being a startup. Mean, he might 970 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,320 Speaker 1: just have to be that backup for a year. But 971 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,640 Speaker 1: I was pretty surprised that he was not even you know, 972 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,280 Speaker 1: picked up or anything like that. But I feel like Carolina, 973 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: you know, kind of did him a disservice by releasing 974 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,400 Speaker 1: them as late as they did. You know, guys are 975 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 1: already in situations with their quarterbacks and everything was kind 976 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: of sewed up by the time he hit the market. 977 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,840 Speaker 1: So I think they kind of did him a disservice. 978 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:35,800 Speaker 1: But if he wants to be that starting quarterback, he 979 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,839 Speaker 1: might have to wait out a year before getting back 980 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,320 Speaker 1: into the NFL, because I just don't see him cracking 981 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 1: the lineup anywhere right now.

The Georgia Prosecutor's delay in 1005 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 1: moving forward and arrest and grand jury investigation to move 1006 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,680 Speaker 1: spark only a considerable amount of public activism, and the 1007 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:11,240 Speaker 1: existence of numerous local conflicts means that a robust, federally 1008 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,399 Speaker 1: led investigation is the only way to restore community trust 1009 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,080 Speaker 1: that mister Aubrey's death will be fully investigated because on 1010 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,240 Speaker 1: February twenty third, two white men, Travis and Greg McMichael, 1011 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 1: tragically gundown mister Aubury while he was on a job. 1012 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,919 Speaker 1: They claimed that they were attempting to make a citizens arrest, 1013 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,160 Speaker 1: but no credible evidence exist that mister Albury committed any crime. 1014 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,480 Speaker 1: It wasn't until yesterday, seventy four days after Aubury was killed, 1015 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,279 Speaker 1: that police arrested the McMichaels, the prosecutor on the case, 1016 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,239 Speaker 1: assigned after the previous two prosecutes, rescued themselves due to 1017 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,880 Speaker 1: the conflicts and neglected to send the case to the 1018 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: grand jury until after a video of the terrible incident 1019 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,880 Speaker 1: was made public. So that's the first part of this 1020 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:56,959 Speaker 1: letter for the players coalition. Gentleman, your thoughts go ahead, Okay. 1021 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:03,160 Speaker 1: I think it's amazing and very concerning that it took 1022 00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,000 Speaker 1: all of that for this to happen, for them to 1023 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 1: get arrested. We saw the video, and then the first 1024 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 1: thing that goes into your mind is if if that 1025 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: video doesn't come out, these guys they get no attention 1026 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:20,279 Speaker 1: and they possibly get away with this, which is absolutely ludicrous. 1027 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,160 Speaker 1: I'm watching this video and this is and for me, 1028 00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,640 Speaker 1: this is probably one of the more clear versions of 1029 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,960 Speaker 1: things that we've seen going on in the past. When 1030 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: you think about like something happened to Traymon Martin and 1031 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,800 Speaker 1: some other people. This video was clear. You see everything 1032 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,360 Speaker 1: happen on there, and I think that's where the outcry 1033 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,400 Speaker 1: is coming from and I don't think that like this 1034 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,239 Speaker 1: should be necessary for people to start speaking out, but 1035 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad they did, and I'm glad that we finally 1036 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,799 Speaker 1: got a little bit of justice to start from from 1037 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:55,399 Speaker 1: this issue. Yeah, I know, I agree with you on that, Cray. 1038 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 1: I mean that it's it's it's kind of a frightening situation. 1039 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,319 Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, Um, the guy was out 1040 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 1: for a job, and I mean, she feels your safest 1041 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 1: while you're just taking a job to them, right and 1042 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 1: broad daylight and something like this happens. I mean, it's tragic, 1043 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 1: and like you said, and I'm glad the Players Coalition, 1044 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, they spoke out on it and and they're 1045 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,279 Speaker 1: trying to get justice for this situation. But like you said, 1046 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,799 Speaker 1: it's a it's a very scary and frightening, frightening world 1047 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 1: we live in now, and the situation is evidence of that. 1048 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,120 Speaker 1: And I'll just close the letter contained more, but I'll 1049 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:28,439 Speaker 1: just close the end of it here, where he says 1050 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 1: Players Coalition is dedicated to advocating for social justice and 1051 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,719 Speaker 1: racial equality and holding those who commit injustice as accountable. 1052 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 1: The letter was sent to Attorney William Barr and signed 1053 00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,600 Speaker 1: by the following below, and it goes through through numerous 1054 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,840 Speaker 1: players that we talked about there. So the Players Coalition 1055 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 1: had worked with NFL owners in the past and so 1056 00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 1: they continue their work on this issue here. So it's 1057 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 1: going to be very interesting to see exactly where they 1058 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,840 Speaker 1: go forward this. I saw the video as well. This 1059 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,360 Speaker 1: is not what America is about. A person on a 1060 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 1: jog not be shot down by people. And as I said, 1061 00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 1: I will be very interested to see where it goes. 1062 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,279 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you've got the 1063 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 1: NFL players as well as who all Steve Kerr, the NBA. 1064 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,600 Speaker 1: We've got people who are who are saying, look, this 1065 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 1: is not right, and this is players using their position 1066 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,880 Speaker 1: to try and bring light. And once again you go 1067 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,760 Speaker 1: back to Colin Kaeperty, who is really at the forefront 1068 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,279 Speaker 1: of trying to say, look, there are things going wrong 1069 00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,920 Speaker 1: here and bringing this to justice. So I'll be very 1070 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 1: eager to see exactly where this goes. Joy Nor question 1071 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 1: for you, dude, because because one of the most concerning 1072 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,960 Speaker 1: things is even though that these guys have been arrested, 1073 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 1: the thing that worries me the most is I still 1074 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 1: have to sit here and think will they be convicted 1075 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,080 Speaker 1: or will they go to jail? Or will we see 1076 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,799 Speaker 1: an instance where we're watching on TV and they get 1077 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,160 Speaker 1: that not guilty verdict and they're free to walk the 1078 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: streets again. Like, I just don't think that that we 1079 00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 1: should have to think that, well, that should even be 1080 00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 1: a possibility, especially when you see a video like this 1081 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,600 Speaker 1: where everything is evident that they did everything wrong in 1082 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 1: the situation. I'll use a Bill Parcels quote. All I 1083 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 1: can go by is what I see and what we 1084 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,000 Speaker 1: have seen with the criminal justice system tells you that 1085 00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 1: you should be worried. It just is that an outcome 1086 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,319 Speaker 1: that what you saw the video, that you think these 1087 00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 1: guys are gonna go to jail and we don't know that. 1088 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 1: We don't know. I mean, that's why we have to 1089 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 1: have the trial. And what do we know? We know 1090 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,960 Speaker 1: what we think sometimes is, hey, this is an a 1091 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:40,800 Speaker 1: ab happen equals does not always happen. So I understand 1092 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 1: what you're saying, and because of history and the way 1093 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,320 Speaker 1: things gone, is one hundred percent accurate in terms of 1094 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 1: your your thought process. All right, let's end this the 1095 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 1: way we started with the Cowboys schedule, Gentlemen, according to 1096 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,400 Speaker 1: both of your takes on the Cowboys schedule. Dallas is 1097 00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,799 Speaker 1: going to the playoffs as NFC championship. Church, you got 1098 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 1: them going ten and six. McCray, you've got them going 1099 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:09,240 Speaker 1: eleven and five under new head coach Mike McCarthy, gentleman. 1100 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:13,680 Speaker 1: That's that's that's pretty ambitious considering right now they don't 1101 00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 1: have you know, there's no in person OTAs and these 1102 00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 1: guys aren't able to work with them. So you know, 1103 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,360 Speaker 1: McCarthy could be under the gun depending on how much 1104 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 1: time he actually has to work with this team. Let 1105 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: me tell you this. So also, the Browns don't have virtual. 1106 00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 1: The Giants, who have an also a coordinator don't have virtual. 1107 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,320 Speaker 1: The Cardinals have a new new star receiver who will 1108 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 1: have will only be on virtual. The Redskins are the Redskins. 1109 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,360 Speaker 1: The Eagles didn't have receivers last year, but they drafted 1110 00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:48,000 Speaker 1: one who will only be doing virtual workouts. Juju Smith 1111 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 1: Schuster is the only one. With the Steelers, it's a 1112 00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,720 Speaker 1: lot of opportunities here for us to get dubs on 1113 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:57,640 Speaker 1: people who will will probably have less uh familiar familiarity 1114 00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,480 Speaker 1: with people on their team than we do. So I 1115 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,720 Speaker 1: think that the chance is nice for us to go 1116 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 1: win that division. Okay, Soman Craig here, Mary helped me 1117 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,120 Speaker 1: understand Danny's optimism. So Danny has this optimism about that, 1118 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,840 Speaker 1: but he doesn't have optimism that Dak Prescott's gonna get 1119 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,280 Speaker 1: signed by Jerry Jones, who continually shown you in the 1120 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,439 Speaker 1: past that he gets the deal's done with the guys. 1121 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:27,439 Speaker 1: He wants good an here one more time doing I said, 1122 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,560 Speaker 1: help me understand. Danny has this great optimism that the 1123 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:35,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna be okay without all season workouts, but 1124 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 1: he has no faith in Jerry Jones Son and Dak 1125 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:42,960 Speaker 1: Prescott to a long term game. I don't I don't 1126 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:48,000 Speaker 1: understand that one as well. You're saying he has that 1127 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott don't get his his deal done, but he 1128 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,280 Speaker 1: asked faith that the Cowboys will come through and make 1129 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 1: the playoffs. As I was just saying, yeah, yeah, but yeah, 1130 00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,800 Speaker 1: but you said he's gonna play this year on the 1131 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:02,600 Speaker 1: tag or not, so it's not like we're not gonna 1132 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 1: have that. I'm just saying that we might only have 1133 00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 1: them for this year, and if we have them for 1134 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:16,640 Speaker 1: this year, they better making the best year impossible. Danny mccraye. 1135 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,240 Speaker 1: I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to 1136 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 1: get me the bet, and I'm not getting bet with 1137 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,439 Speaker 1: you again. I'm done. I'm done paying off bets because 1138 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,960 Speaker 1: I don't like where I have to go pay off 1139 00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,200 Speaker 1: these bets. I don't like the restaurants, so I'm not 1140 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,480 Speaker 1: making the bet. Okay, the fact, the fact that you 1141 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 1: don't want to bet, the fact that you don't want 1142 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:32,960 Speaker 1: to bet, lets me know that you know that there's 1143 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: a possibility that I'm right.
