Speaker 1: Flavor of Love. I doubt I was almost gonna say,
Speaker 1: I almost can guarantee it's probably gonna be a woman,
Speaker 1: Miss New York Man. Flavor made sure she took that
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes and they made sure that that woman I
Speaker 1: loved the end when she got cut, I don't care,
Speaker 1: I don't care. And you just see it, walk up
Speaker 1: the seeing the car crying. Let me tell you something,
Speaker 1: she should have got some hands put on her. But
Speaker 1: spending that la place that was on she should have
Speaker 1: put she should have put her hands on her every
Speaker 1: time she's seen her, because it was a lugie. It
Speaker 1: was speaks to it. It wasn't just no regular spit,
Speaker 1: all right, it was that. It was that stuff that
Speaker 1: come from down up and to wipe it off the
Speaker 1: So hopefully on your reality show Survivor, we don't see
Speaker 1: anything like that. But I just know the magic formulas
Speaker 1: they make these television shows as they looked for one
Speaker 1: crazy Negro. Was that was bridget on our show? Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: the Flavor of Love. That was when I was I
Speaker 1: raise my hand. I unfortunately got sucked into shows that
Speaker 1: was the best years of it, rains waste themselves. It
Speaker 1: was so bad it was good, you know. I tell myself.
Speaker 1: I had to stop watching The Millionaire Matchmaker and and
Speaker 1: Real Housewatch I was. I was unfortunately doing that. I
Speaker 1: had to stop. I'm a real housewise watcher. Now. I
Speaker 1: watched the Salt Lake. I watched Potona. I don't even know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I watched. I watched all that's interesting. Watch she did
Speaker 1: she did. I didn't know anything about it until I
Speaker 1: saw her watching one of them like that. All right, wait,
Speaker 1: it's something to New Jersey. They man, it's interesting to
Speaker 1: see the like the different dynamics based on the location. Right,
Speaker 1: So Beverly Hills versus New York versus Atlanta. You know
Speaker 1: it's a it's the only female on the show. I
Speaker 1: just want to say, you, guys, I did not start
Speaker 1: this conversation nai go on social media thing. That's why
Speaker 1: BRIT's there. You guys just talking about Real Housewife. Never
Speaker 1: seen it, don't watch it. I enjoyed the Real Housewife.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed, I watched. I watched a lot of reality TV,
Speaker 1: and now I am on reality TV. Look at my
Speaker 1: guy out here. I never survived. I've never watched Survivor,
Speaker 1: so this will be my first time. I've never watched Survivor,
Speaker 1: so be into this. A couple of reality shows I
Speaker 1: just haven't watched. That's that's one of them, so I'll
Speaker 1: be interested in that. Never watched the batchroom of The Bachelorette,
Speaker 1: so same, that's a another one that I won't won't
Speaker 1: get into. Watched that. I'm on that, I'm on that
Speaker 1: on that church is right there, President, and y'all, I'll
Speaker 1: watch none of these shows. Bravo, the team, Bravo, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm on it. And millions he had him down here,
Speaker 1: My boy, Bill, you know, had some legal trouble right now, baby,
Speaker 1: well let's shot at them. Cabot. We're gonna we're after
Speaker 1: dark with Andy Cole. We're talking about you. You know
Speaker 1: it'll be good Andy bring out Bones Fossils. So Bone,
Speaker 1: let's talk about that punt unit sitting here to recap
Speaker 1: what happened. We have a kamara, We've got a coach
Speaker 1: from mccarte. I mean literally, you could have Andy Cole
Speaker 1: right there because that was it was a issue in
Speaker 1: the game. But if you start to think about Bones
Speaker 1: Fossils two years that's a special teams coach. You look
Speaker 1: at this and you just say, hey, man, brother bro
Speaker 1: bro him what you're doing. Jerry Jones spoke about it
Speaker 1: on one oh five three the Fan, and Jerry said
Speaker 1: that he's a conservative person in terms of special teams,
Speaker 1: and Jerry went into his background playing at the University
Speaker 1: of Arkansas for Frank Boyles where they won a national championships.
Speaker 1: Jerry's a very conservative guy when it comes to special teams.
Speaker 1: Bones Fossil ended up talking about. Now, just in case,
Speaker 1: let me just highlight the play. So at this point
Speaker 1: in the football game, it is a fourth and twenty
Speaker 1: on the forty six and the Cowboys go out to
Speaker 1: the punt. They get the rough and to kicker with
Speaker 1: one fifty three to go, and they call it on
Speaker 1: Camaro and then the Chargers get the football first intended
Speaker 1: to thirty nine. They run off one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
Speaker 1: eight plays, they missed the field goal. They missed the
Speaker 1: field goal, and the Cowboys going to the half fourteam
Speaker 1: to eleven. And this is what bones Fossil said to
Speaker 1: the media yesterday. I didn't get who they actually my
Speaker 1: jersey number because it was a train wreck right there
Speaker 1: at the block spot. But what I got on film
Speaker 1: is that they're number forty, hook Kamara and pulled them
Speaker 1: back into the punter. And you know, you can make
Speaker 1: a great case it was holding or that the punter
Speaker 1: hit his own blocker, but there's a lot of bodies
Speaker 1: at that pilot, so um our goal is to come
Speaker 1: after him. Okay. That was a part of the explanation.
Speaker 1: He also went on to say and tried to rationalize
Speaker 1: what happened in the game by putting it on the
Speaker 1: fans and saying, all right, you know, well, cat with fans,
Speaker 1: you want to you know, you want to aggressive, So
Speaker 1: I tried to get a fans what they need and like,
Speaker 1: can't wait to talk to Danny and Arry about this
Speaker 1: guy who played on special teams. So Danny, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start with you phones fossils, like I'm trying to just
Speaker 1: get a fans. Well, that will get a people what
Speaker 1: they want. Yeah, you know, I'm not gonna go too
Speaker 1: hard on on coach file. So I think the last
Speaker 1: two years, well, his first year here, he made some
Speaker 1: head scratching decisions as far as what he's calling and
Speaker 1: when he's calling it um and this has been no different.
Speaker 1: I would have rather him come out and say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: this was our game plan and this is what we
Speaker 1: said we were gonna do in this situation, and it
Speaker 1: just didn't work out for us. And you know, we'll
Speaker 1: think about that a little harder next time we get
Speaker 1: into the situation. Instead, my man says, hey, Cowboys fans,
Speaker 1: you know I answered the call foree y'all. Man, I
Speaker 1: heard y'all. I've been listening to the podcast, I've been
Speaker 1: reading the newspaper. I actually heard y'all in the stands.
Speaker 1: Since it was so many Cowboys fans in the stands
Speaker 1: out there in LA and I heard y'all saying rush, rush, rush, rush,
Speaker 1: and I say, you know what, yeah, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and satisfy the fans because that's the type of
Speaker 1: coach that I am, all right, And then he called
Speaker 1: the blocking. It didn't work out for him. It doesn't
Speaker 1: really make much sense to explanation. You know, he's the
Speaker 1: coaching to call those things. Didn't make much sense to me.
Speaker 1: But you know that's why he get paid the big
Speaker 1: bucks for now. Yeah, I mean, look, it was it
Speaker 1: was just a bad mistake and you got to own it.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if he if he goes out there
Speaker 1: and blocks the punt and we're in great field position
Speaker 1: or were even scored, and he's a genius, but it
Speaker 1: happened the opposite way. He ended up getting the flag
Speaker 1: and prolonging the Chargers drive on that one. So for me,
Speaker 1: you know, as a coach, you would love for him
Speaker 1: to just say, you know what, hey, that's the risk
Speaker 1: I took. You know, I'm in this business to take risks,
Speaker 1: and that was a risk that ended up failing for me.
Speaker 1: But you know, it happens. It happens. It's called football.
Speaker 1: But instead of that, he tried to you know, switch
Speaker 1: things around a little bit and say, hey, you know what,
Speaker 1: I did this for the fans, for the diehard fans
Speaker 1: that you know, we've been used to mediocrity here for
Speaker 1: the past couple of years, and you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: taking risk. I'm a risk. Take I did this for y'all. No, no,
Speaker 1: you didn't do that for the fans. You went out there,
Speaker 1: you tried to block the punt. You tried to you know,
Speaker 1: put your special team stamp on the game and ended
Speaker 1: up backfiring. I mean, that's just as simple as it was.
Speaker 1: He just gotta take it on the chin and ride
Speaker 1: with it like that. But instead he tosses on Cowboys Nation.
Speaker 1: You know, Cowboys Nation is not going to respond well today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we got some of the most wilent fans
Speaker 1: out there. They go, they're gonna voice their opinion. So
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how they react to this. But
Speaker 1: to me, you gotta take that one on the chain.
Speaker 1: Well as a fan, it's a slap in the face
Speaker 1: to the fans because it's something that didn't work. It's like,
Speaker 1: oh see, y'all said this and didn't work. So guess
Speaker 1: you guys don't know what you're talking about That's what
Speaker 1: it sounded like to me. So I don't know, but
Speaker 1: I think I'm not as mad as at him for
Speaker 1: the play or the situation. I think that that's what
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do when you're playing football, is in
Speaker 1: that situation as a special teams person rush the kicker. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: I think he didn't really look at who he has
Speaker 1: on the field because Kamara, that was his first game
Speaker 1: playing yesterday. He's not a vet. So I think if
Speaker 1: you would have had a seasoned guy in that, he
Speaker 1: would have been able to read the situation better and
Speaker 1: not have made that mistake. I think that was where
Speaker 1: the mistake was, is not knowing who's out there and
Speaker 1: who's in a situation to do something like that if
Speaker 1: you know it works. It worked with the Steelers game.
Speaker 1: It's it happens, and he's the everybody's hero if that
Speaker 1: does work. So I think you do have to do
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And he said that was his
Speaker 1: game plan every time. It's not a question, that's what
Speaker 1: we're doing. And I don't fault him for that at all.
Speaker 1: I just think he should have known who he had
Speaker 1: out there as a coach and decided, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm not gonna put this on this guy right
Speaker 1: now because I don't think he's ready to deal with that.
Speaker 1: So oh, go ahead, And he asked, oh no, I
Speaker 1: you know, it's like I said, it's his right to
Speaker 1: make the call um fourth and twenty. You know, like
Speaker 1: I said, he does have to know his guys. But
Speaker 1: I think this is just a continuing trend for my
Speaker 1: man bones Fossil, all right, Like I said, you know,
Speaker 1: we run a fake punt on for my own twenty
Speaker 1: last season. Uh, and it makes absolutely no sense. Is
Speaker 1: was it a reverse? A reverse? It was reverse, so
Speaker 1: you actually lose yards on the play in order to
Speaker 1: try to gain some more yards. And you know, in
Speaker 1: the situation didn't make sense. Even if he didn't pass it.
Speaker 1: It was fourth and five, he had run thirty yards
Speaker 1: just to get bad um. You see some of the
Speaker 1: squift kicks that happen in game one, uh this year,
Speaker 1: where we're like, why don't you just kick it out
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. We have our field
Speaker 1: goal kicker who misses so much time throughout the preseason
Speaker 1: comes in and try to kick a sixty yard or
Speaker 1: just some of the some of the decisions here like
Speaker 1: you got. You gotta have faith in your guys, but
Speaker 1: at some point you gotta protect your guys as well.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, do you think he has
Speaker 1: too much faith in the guys, because is he, like
Speaker 1: you know, um, writing up stuff that these guys can't
Speaker 1: handle at this point in time. No, I think that
Speaker 1: he has too much, too much leeway. I think that
Speaker 1: somebody needs to put him to the side and say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: come on you. You are about to single handedly at
Speaker 1: some points get us all fired, all right, because you know,
Speaker 1: as the head coach here, it all comes back to
Speaker 1: me no matter what, right, because you know they're gonna say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: did you run that by McCarthy and then McCarthy say
Speaker 1: it was okay for you to run a faith from
Speaker 1: the twenty? Did he say it was okay for you
Speaker 1: to try to rush the kicker on fourth and twenty
Speaker 1: instead of playing it safe and giving our offense the
Speaker 1: chance to move the ball down the field like they've
Speaker 1: been doing all day. Right, So I think this is
Speaker 1: you know, at some point you have to set as
Speaker 1: a bro hey, just call caller regular if you're gonna
Speaker 1: try something crazy, walk over to me and ask me
Speaker 1: and I can tell years ahead ahead. I just want
Speaker 1: to say real quick, you don't want, you know, offense
Speaker 1: wins loses game, defense wins. You don't want the special
Speaker 1: teams to be the reason why you lose the game.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but that's been a consistent Probably that makes
Speaker 1: sense for the past he wants to put his a game,
Speaker 1: but for the past three seasons. Yeah, we keep talking
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys losing the special team's battle. You go
Speaker 1: back into once again, look at the situation the football game.
Speaker 1: It's fourth and twenty. You're getting the football back. It
Speaker 1: is one fifty two o nine when he calls, so
Speaker 1: it's right before the two minute drill. Here, you're getting
Speaker 1: the football back. The previous possession, you'd gone ten yards
Speaker 1: they start, I mean, ted Blade, you started it. You're
Speaker 1: only twenty three dry stall members a fourth and five
Speaker 1: and incomplete pass to Cooper at the forty one. So
Speaker 1: you were having some success with your football team at
Speaker 1: this point time. Just get the ball back. Let Dak
Speaker 1: run the two minute drill. Did you need to at
Speaker 1: this point time in a three point game go for this? Yeah.
Speaker 1: I looked at and I said, Nah, that really wasn't
Speaker 1: the time to go ahead and do that. Your offense
Speaker 1: have been playing well and just didn't have a lot
Speaker 1: of possessions. Cow was eight possessions in this whole football game.
Speaker 1: So that's my thing. I just kind of shook my
Speaker 1: head at it. Here is Bones Fossil with the media
Speaker 1: yesterday giving his explanation about the going for the black punt.
Speaker 1: I think Cowboys fans aren't the play it safe type,
Speaker 1: so I was gonna give them what they wanted, come
Speaker 1: after their ass on punt rush. So I hope they're
Speaker 1: happy with it because we came. We came after them. Um,
Speaker 1: it's kind of the miset going into the game and
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna come after this, come after this football.
Speaker 1: And you can sure debate everything, but I'm still not
Speaker 1: so sure that we actually roughed them well at three
Speaker 1: point lead. I find that interesting. So, Danny, I was
Speaker 1: telling you earlier. So in my ethics class, my business
Speaker 1: ethics class that I'm taking here last night, I had
Speaker 1: to read one of these long papers and in it
Speaker 1: it talked about a rationalization, and that's what you just
Speaker 1: heard from Bones False. It's called rationalization. I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: rationalize what it is I did even though you guys
Speaker 1: are like, what the heck did you do? And within
Speaker 1: that it says the problem is how to admit a
Speaker 1: wrongful conduct at the same time avoid the blame to
Speaker 1: The major strategy here is passing the buck. One acknowledges
Speaker 1: the existence of a problem but makes someone else responsible
Speaker 1: for it, which is I did this for the fan,
Speaker 1: I did for you, I do it for me. Now
Speaker 1: that was for you. No, no, this is wrong. And
Speaker 1: I go back to one reason why bones Fossil got
Speaker 1: let go with the Rams. One of the stories that
Speaker 1: I heard was that he called a fake punt and
Speaker 1: didn't tell Sean mcbeck, and that was kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna go ahead, do go out a
Speaker 1: little separce. Some he did that last year too. I
Speaker 1: want to notice, So what do you think our issue
Speaker 1: is specifically with special teams, Coach? I feel like we've
Speaker 1: lost two two really top not guys right around the league.
Speaker 1: You would say that Joe D. Camillis is a known
Speaker 1: name around the league. He got out of here in
Speaker 1: what the Chicago and then you see rich as soon
Speaker 1: as John got the job out there for the Raiders,
Speaker 1: Rich as like I'm out of here and then yeah,
Speaker 1: risk Besoa. So we bring in Ko, who is trying
Speaker 1: to run Rich's skins. He was and he wasn't and
Speaker 1: he wasn't ready to do it. Uh, and now we
Speaker 1: got we got bones from La, who's the total opposite
Speaker 1: of what Joe D And Rich were as far as
Speaker 1: their philosophy when it comes to special teams. Right, you
Speaker 1: take chances when when it makes sense. Right, I got
Speaker 1: a punt block against Philly the year we went four
Speaker 1: and twelves. Yeah, we were all the way in their territory.
Speaker 1: Our quarterback was out, So at that point we were
Speaker 1: desperate when you know what, I'm sad to make a play.
Speaker 1: Not the situation that we went through. Uh, this Sunday,
Speaker 1: we gotta you gotta get a happy medium here. Like
Speaker 1: when we had Joe D and we had Rich out here,
Speaker 1: we didn't really have a big emphasis on special teams
Speaker 1: and they always kind of just you know, through guys
Speaker 1: in there were never really outside of you maybe Will
Speaker 1: Burn and a couple of other Cats, we didn't have
Speaker 1: any core special teamers and they didn't really put the
Speaker 1: emphasis on special team. So I feel like those guys
Speaker 1: felt like, hey, you know, we're not wanting here, We're
Speaker 1: gonna go somewhere where we're wanted. Now we have the
Speaker 1: situation where fossils in here and we're putting them up
Speaker 1: on the pedestal. We're giving him all this leeway. You
Speaker 1: can call what you want this fourth and three, go
Speaker 1: ahead and call these guys, bring your guys in, do
Speaker 1: what you want to do. And we're putting this huge
Speaker 1: emphasis on special teams. So he feels like, hey, I
Speaker 1: got a little juice here. Let me go ahead and
Speaker 1: flex a little bit. And so far his flexes have been,
Speaker 1: you know, not the right thing to do, especially last
Speaker 1: year after those couple fakes that we had on fourth down,
Speaker 1: which are still head scratching to me. I just think
Speaker 1: we gave him a little bit too much leeway. We
Speaker 1: got to find a happy medium in there, somewhere to
Speaker 1: where he's not just going out here calling fakes and
Speaker 1: colin blocks and you know, in opportune times. I mean,
Speaker 1: like you said, why wouldn't you just that too minute, Drew,
Speaker 1: It's fourth and twenty, Why don't you set up a
Speaker 1: nice return to get the ball back for your offense.
Speaker 1: The Chargers haven't stopped the offense all day. Dak was
Speaker 1: doing this thing all day. So let's just sit back,
Speaker 1: let the offense do what they gotta do instead of
Speaker 1: trying to put our special team stamp on the game.
Speaker 1: And that's what I think Rich and Joe d did
Speaker 1: a great job. They let the game come to them.
Speaker 1: They didn't just go out there and take Hella wrists
Speaker 1: like that. And that's what we're seeing last and messing
Speaker 1: up my top ten defense. Man, if they get more yards,
Speaker 1: they get more yards. Almost almost tied the game the
Speaker 1: game luckily the field goal was real quick new Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can taste that steak right now that Danny's fitting
Speaker 1: the half after pay me after this top ten, get
Speaker 1: that heavy butter with the libster. Yeah, it's crazy because
Speaker 1: we got Washington twice, we got a Philly who I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna shut down this week. So I mean,
Speaker 1: we got a chance to get up to fifteen games,
Speaker 1: and we're getting better. The defense is getting better. We
Speaker 1: talk about the defense, it's getting better. Huh yards about yea,
Speaker 1: we get better. We guess the total defense. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know you didn't the point that out, but now
Speaker 1: I do. Speaking of the defense getting better, let's talk
Speaker 1: about how they will have and improve defense Monday Night
Speaker 1: when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles. That's Danny Britt

Speaker 1: I got that. You know, that's one of them the
Speaker 1: mistakes you make when you are heading into college. That happens.
Speaker 1: That's why I haven't got another tattoo since tattoo since college.
Speaker 1: I gave my word it won't have it again. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you can watch Danny shirtless surd tomorrow. Why look
Speaker 1: they take us out. Knew he still has his picture.
Speaker 1: He's looking at the motivation motivation babies. Spend class baby,
Speaker 1: put that up. Put that up on your spend and
Speaker 1: spend class warrior. I like the fur old brown. Hey,

Speaker 1: You look good? You look good, brother, Move on. I'm proud.
Speaker 1: Look good. We're proud of it. You're proud of you,
Speaker 1: young brother. We get to talk about it tomorrow. So
Speaker 1: how about Cowboys? Cowboys take on the Eagles Monday night football,
Speaker 1: first home game over Jerry World. Randy Gregory expected to
Speaker 1: be back covidless. So now you get Gregory back here,
Speaker 1: how would you utilize my like a Parsons in this game?
Speaker 1: Now that you're going to be able to get Randy
Speaker 1: Gregory back, who had a very good training camp, you're
Speaker 1: dan Quinn. Now you at one more piece. You improve
Speaker 1: your defense. I'm very interested to see what kind of
Speaker 1: game plan to come up with. And you've got Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts who has been doing a nice job for Philadelphia
Speaker 1: in terms of running and throwing the football here and
Speaker 1: year number two. I mean, I think it depends on
Speaker 1: the down, the distance in the situation in the game.
Speaker 1: But I'm listening to Dan Quinn say that he can
Speaker 1: do a lot of good things that linebacker as well.
Speaker 1: So you're going to see him play both positions. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take him at his word. You're going to see
Speaker 1: him rush the edge. And I tell you, when Jalen
Speaker 1: Hursts try to turn that right corner, when you got blessed,
Speaker 1: you appreciate you got four three five out there of Russian.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot different than when you got
Speaker 1: somebody running the four or five, four six. And so
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna use him in some very creative
Speaker 1: ways to make sure that they keep some pressure on
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and don't let him escape out the pocket
Speaker 1: and out run some of those those bigger defensive ends
Speaker 1: on the edge. I mean, I think he's going to
Speaker 1: be used utilize that d N more this week, in
Speaker 1: just this week, And I know coach Quinn said that
Speaker 1: he didn't want to like overload him or anything like that,
Speaker 1: but he just, I mean, he just fits so seamlessly
Speaker 1: into that position this week and it was just so
Speaker 1: easy for him. I don't think they're gonna pull it
Speaker 1: all the way back obviously, and have him go just
Speaker 1: back to linebacker. I think he's still going to play
Speaker 1: most of the snaps at d N this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I move his butt backer linebacker. Man, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you right now, because he ain't gonna go against a
Speaker 1: backup set the tackle like he did against the charges
Speaker 1: Brown Blago was outre He want to get his backup
Speaker 1: and yes he was dominant, but I don't see that
Speaker 1: happen in the week end and week out. Plus, if
Speaker 1: you if you keep him at that DN spot, it's
Speaker 1: a great chance, you know, to contain Hurts and all that,
Speaker 1: I understand, but you take a lot away from his
Speaker 1: playmaking ability. If you put him that linebacker, he has
Speaker 1: a way to affect a lot of situations because he
Speaker 1: can run sideline. The sideline he'd get deep back there.
Speaker 1: Against the past, he can actually spy on Hurts a
Speaker 1: little bit because if he's locked up in there at
Speaker 1: that defensive end and Hurt sees that he's overall that side,
Speaker 1: he can escape on the other side. Randy Gregor gats
Speaker 1: some speed too, but he don't go that Parson speed.
Speaker 1: So for me, I'm saying move him back to linebacker,
Speaker 1: give him some give him some spots though at the
Speaker 1: d end, Like give him some packages at the d
Speaker 1: n where he can use his speed rush off the edge,
Speaker 1: maybe a third and long situation or something like that.
Speaker 1: But just having him down in and down a at
Speaker 1: the defensive ender, I'm not sure I can get down
Speaker 1: with that. I like his siline of saline ability at
Speaker 1: the linebacker. Plus it gets his more opportunity to make
Speaker 1: plays out there. What I can guarantee you'll see it's
Speaker 1: him line up a defensive end and somehow drop back
Speaker 1: to is like. I can see that as well. I
Speaker 1: can see the full the front. I think they also
Speaker 1: need him a linebacker because what we do know about
Speaker 1: the Eagles is they also have Jalen Hursts, but they
Speaker 1: also have Miles Sanders and I forget the kid's name,
Speaker 1: number fourteen, but he's been making some plays out of
Speaker 1: the backfield. Has a receiver number, so you know he
Speaker 1: has some speed. You know he's elusive. So they're going
Speaker 1: to need that speed out of the two linebackers forty
Speaker 1: two and eleven in order to keep those guys under wraps.
Speaker 1: Looking at Jalen Hurts his numbers, he is the Eagles
Speaker 1: leading rusher um seventeen attempts one hundred and forty four
Speaker 1: yards after eight point five yards a run, So seventy
Speaker 1: two yards a game is what he's been getting out there.
Speaker 1: So while I'm not going to call him Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: but disout ability that you know, whenever Lamar's on the
Speaker 1: football field, look out. And so when I think about
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, hey, look you you probably need to get
Speaker 1: him back in linebacker. So hey, we've got to be
Speaker 1: aware since you got Randy Gregory and Dorg's Armstrong out
Speaker 1: here closing on the ends and then you got Jalen
Speaker 1: Smith in the middle along with Michael Parsons, just kind
Speaker 1: of make sure. Hey, look man, we've got to make
Speaker 1: sure we keep this quarterback from getting out here and
Speaker 1: scrambling for seven eight yards per run. And what you know,
Speaker 1: and if we look back at that tape, what was
Speaker 1: his favorite move? That inside rush? He would set him
Speaker 1: up outside inside, set him up outside inside. You can't
Speaker 1: do that against a guy like Jalen Hurts. Can you
Speaker 1: take that inside? Leave that outside out there? Like that?
Speaker 1: He is out the gate nine times out of ten.
Speaker 1: And the dangerous part of Hurts is he's not just
Speaker 1: gonna take off and run. He's looking to extend to
Speaker 1: play and hit folks downtown of what his receivers. He
Speaker 1: got speed out there with Gregor and Smith. So for me,
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be on that defensive end he is,
Speaker 1: they got to instill in his mind before the game,
Speaker 1: make sure you stay outside, keep contained, keep containers. If
Speaker 1: he keeps doing it up and under move herschell will
Speaker 1: be out the gate. Yeah, and I would say, you
Speaker 1: said Lamar Jackson, I would liking him more to He's
Speaker 1: not Russell Wilson, but as far as the way that
Speaker 1: he runs and the things that he's trying to do
Speaker 1: is closer to Russell Wilson than Lamar Jackson. And we
Speaker 1: know Russell Wilson can cause him some serious damage. We
Speaker 1: see it. Yeah, we see what he's doing. Will lock
Speaker 1: it out there, you know, So you want to make
Speaker 1: sure you got some speed out there to keep Jalen,
Speaker 1: you know, under under wraps. So that's gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: this week is what Dan Quinn and Joe Junior device
Speaker 1: as far as the Cowboys defense, which and what the
Speaker 1: thing I did my report on after the game for
Speaker 1: Channel five, which is how impressed I was with what
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and that whole coaching sab did on a
Speaker 1: short week, having to deal with so many issues. All Right,
Speaker 1: you got, you got, you got Randy Gregory, who's album.
Speaker 1: People are thinking, well, you know, maybe he can get
Speaker 1: him there, he can get there. Toward the end, McCarty's like, nah,
Speaker 1: I don't look at him. And then here's tank launch
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, breaking's footing to come up with that
Speaker 1: kind of game plan. And oh, by the way, and
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you guys touched on yesterday
Speaker 1: the safety play, jay Ron Curse getting down there, the
Speaker 1: linebacker spot playing in the slot some there, yes sixty
Speaker 1: something play, Kaz coming up with that critical interception in
Speaker 1: the end zone there and Malie Hooker play. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just very impressed with how how Witness got these
Speaker 1: guys playing some nice football in the secondary, which makes
Speaker 1: Danny say, do me a favorite, because you said if
Speaker 1: McCarthy and those dudes did with all the stuff they
Speaker 1: had going on, Hey man, just for me, Okay, when
Speaker 1: you talk about adjustments that bid that are being made
Speaker 1: on defense, and how you making up for Randy Gregory
Speaker 1: and take being out and the DB's playing better and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. You make sure you say dan Quinn
Speaker 1: and those guys. Okay, Mike McCarthy let him be on
Speaker 1: the offense. But as far as what's happening on the
Speaker 1: D as much blame as we gave to Nolan when
Speaker 1: he was here, we're gonna get a blame the DQ,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna give the props the DQ for the
Speaker 1: adjustments that he was able to make with those guys
Speaker 1: being out Well, that's McCarthy said that at the presser.
Speaker 1: He gave it to Dan said dan Quinn and his staff.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, what I will also say
Speaker 1: is this, at least the head coaches wanted to get
Speaker 1: out the way or let you know, let the guy
Speaker 1: do his thing. He get out there, everybody way, let him.
Speaker 1: Who are you talking about, He's not fighting, I'm serious.
Speaker 1: So we just got through talking about bones fossil, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, having too much rope. All right, He could
Speaker 1: do whatever he wants to calling those plays, all right.
Speaker 1: We last year when Nolan was running the defense, we
Speaker 1: was saying that Mike McCarthy was out there telling Nolan
Speaker 1: he needed to do so we were saying Nolan was
Speaker 1: out there running whatever you want to because he's been
Speaker 1: in the lab. But when you talk about the offense,
Speaker 1: who do you talk about? Man, you talk about killing
Speaker 1: moorees that am I am? I lying? I'm not talking
Speaker 1: out of everybody's well. I ain't talk too. But when
Speaker 1: you say Kelly, we got on the list, Kelly Moore
Speaker 1: is the offensive play calling guru. All right, dan Quinn
Speaker 1: came over. He's running the defense and we got you know,
Speaker 1: bones out here and going role get once in a while.
Speaker 1: So he wasn't in the lab. McCarthy wasn't that. He
Speaker 1: was there somewhere. So he was somewhere too. According to you,
Speaker 1: the only thing Mike McCarthy's, the only thing he needs
Speaker 1: to do is this. No, no, no, that's what the
Speaker 1: that's what they called some of the best coaches. They
Speaker 1: make sure that they surrounding their selves with the best
Speaker 1: coordinators and they continue to be great doing that. Nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with it. And he don't want to call plays,
Speaker 1: that's him. I'm not saying he can't call plays. Killing
Speaker 1: Moore's a play caller. That's that's just what it is.
Speaker 1: His defense. It's Mike responsible for the clock. He absolutely is.
Speaker 1: You know, you had one job. I'm no, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I think I think that that's an overall problem.
Speaker 1: I think you got many coaches that are out there specifically.
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but I know if you
Speaker 1: watch Rich on the sideline of the Raiders and how
Speaker 1: he was here, he was the one who was in
Speaker 1: Jason Garry's ear telling him, Hey, you know this is
Speaker 1: about to happen. Look at the clock here. Do you
Speaker 1: want to go? You know? X y Z so if
Speaker 1: I'm ya, don't know who that guy is for McCarthy,
Speaker 1: but they gonna have them on notice. This week the
Speaker 1: Defense Bashlmazon Cowboys Hour yesterday and he was asked about
Speaker 1: is there a an identity for this defense yet? Like
Speaker 1: what is your guys's identity? And he said, effort and energy.
Speaker 1: Would you guys agree with that? Absolutely, but don't break absolutely?
Speaker 1: Are you sold? Listen? Mary Nelson say this man, effort
Speaker 1: can erase a lot of mistakes, all right, And I'm
Speaker 1: sure these dudes out here making making mistakes. Nobody plays
Speaker 1: a perfect game. But when you watch the tape, exactly
Speaker 1: what he said, that is what you see flying off
Speaker 1: the film. These dudes are going coming out here they're
Speaker 1: playing full speed. They thinking about it later, right, it's
Speaker 1: not it's not a whole bunch of thinking on the field.
Speaker 1: You can see them, they see they see ball, get ball,
Speaker 1: and that's how you're gonna win these games. And that's
Speaker 1: what they've been doing, bib. But don't break it works.
Speaker 1: But can we hold up because there's gonna be laws.
Speaker 1: We all know there's gonna be laws in the season
Speaker 1: where these teams ain't gonna turn the ball over. Can
Speaker 1: this defensive candis team still win games without getting crucial takeaways?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think so, But I think they
Speaker 1: come in bunches. But they also don't come in bunch.
Speaker 1: But I think I think the way that Dan so
Speaker 1: far so, the way that Dan Quinn has been able
Speaker 1: to disguise and scheme up stuff for certain plays and
Speaker 1: also still stay true to his defense, I think that's
Speaker 1: what's helping us get these turnovers. Like I said yesterday,
Speaker 1: if you watch some of those plays, he's making it
Speaker 1: look like man, he's got the safety out there lined
Speaker 1: up on the running back. Running back motions back in
Speaker 1: you think it's man to man. This dude goes back
Speaker 1: and play cover four and cover two it's two high
Speaker 1: safety and you're confusing the young quarterback. I think that
Speaker 1: him continuing to put those things in, they're gonna call
Speaker 1: some turn up. The two the two biggest players in
Speaker 1: these first two weeks, the red zone forced fumbled back
Speaker 1: Kyz and the interception at thek in the red zone
Speaker 1: by Kyz as well. I'm just I'm they're playing a
Speaker 1: lot better. But I'll be completely sold once we get,
Speaker 1: you know, zero takeaways and we're still able to hold
Speaker 1: an offense and we're still able to get these done.
Speaker 1: I like tanks too. I like tanks. We'll say, may
Speaker 1: make it happen. Man, We'll say, all right, two games
Speaker 1: in one coach, I want to see, are you giving
Speaker 1: him a thumbs up? Are you saying hmm? I still
Speaker 1: need to see a little bit more. Let's dive into

Speaker 1: one and one now getting ready of getting ready for
Speaker 1: their first home game with the years Monday Night contest
Speaker 1: of Philadelphia Eagles come to town. The Eagles are one
Speaker 1: and one, the Cowboys are one and one. Washington won
Speaker 1: in one, Giants owed two in the NFC, so this
Speaker 1: is a game for a share, if not sole possession
Speaker 1: of first place depending on how this goes. Cowboys offense
Speaker 1: right now number four the National Football League in total
Speaker 1: yards four hundred and thirty five a game. Cowboys scored
Speaker 1: twenty points in the win over the Charges, thirty one
Speaker 1: points in the close loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: So let us dive into the offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
Speaker 1: Two games in, I want everybody to tell me thumbs
Speaker 1: up on what he's doing or you need to see more.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give him a thumbs down because the offense,
Speaker 1: in my opinion so far, has definitely done a lot
Speaker 1: of what it needs to do. So I'm gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna start with you now. I'm gonna get my mad
Speaker 1: town of pay. That's gonna cost you a little bit
Speaker 1: more now. But I'm gonna give Kelly Moore huge two
Speaker 1: thumbs up. I mean, look, we got on this guy
Speaker 1: last year about his play calling and how he doesn't
Speaker 1: get his playmakers the ball in space and all this
Speaker 1: other stuff, and I feel like he's done a great
Speaker 1: job adapting to what the defense has given it to him.
Speaker 1: Like when we first talked about that Tampa Bay game,
Speaker 1: we all thought, you know, their front seveners, their strength, Vito,
Speaker 1: they Dominicans, shoe all that. I don't know how they're
Speaker 1: gonna be able to run the ball. Keller Moore thought
Speaker 1: outside the box and said, let me go ahead and
Speaker 1: attack their secondary and it's for the run game. We're
Speaker 1: just gonna do a couple of bubble screens, get our
Speaker 1: guys the ball in space, and let them do damage.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what they did. They didn't pull off
Speaker 1: the victory, but that wasn't the offense's fault. I felt
Speaker 1: like Keller Moore called a great game plan. He didn't
Speaker 1: get the ball to Zeke a lot, but he got
Speaker 1: that offense going and productive, and then we fast forward
Speaker 1: it to week two against the Chargers, where we looked
Speaker 1: at there and we looked in and said, okay, they're
Speaker 1: specialized in a three three five defense, three down line
Speaker 1: and three linebackers and usually five dbs out there. If
Speaker 1: it's not that, there's a three four defense, which again
Speaker 1: three down linemen, four linebackers. So when you're going against
Speaker 1: defenses like that, those run lanes are going to be
Speaker 1: wide open because all you got is three down linemen
Speaker 1: right there. So what did Kelly Moore do? He attacked
Speaker 1: their weaknesses and what we did We gave the ball
Speaker 1: to Pollard, we gave a ball to Ezekiel Elliott, and
Speaker 1: those guys went to work. We went out there controlled
Speaker 1: the game. If you look at it, we controlled the
Speaker 1: game throughout the game. I mean it was there was
Speaker 1: no question about it. We made one mistake on that interception,
Speaker 1: but other than that, I feel like the offense played flawlessly.
Speaker 1: I think his adaptability this season has been remarkable, and
Speaker 1: he's going out the weaknesses of defenses and that's what
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator supposed to do. Hopefully he can keep
Speaker 1: this going. But for me, right now I'm giving them
Speaker 1: two thumbs up. Let the church say amen, Amen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what he said. I give him a thumbs up as well.
Speaker 1: I think he did a great job. I always say,
Speaker 1: you know, people say it's crazy and if it doesn't work,
Speaker 1: you know, and I think everything that he's been doing now,
Speaker 1: a lot of times people you know, they're stuck in
Speaker 1: their ways. They've been doing something for a long time.
Speaker 1: When you have a young guy come in, people are like,
Speaker 1: he's doing all this crazy stuff. Um, like we said yesterday,
Speaker 1: seven guys touched the ball multiple times in the game,
Speaker 1: not just once, multiple times in the game, and so
Speaker 1: you're like, everything's being spread out. There's not this one
Speaker 1: guy we're focusing on. I loved it. He did what
Speaker 1: he was supposed to do to get us a win,
Speaker 1: and it worked out with Pollard as well. He was
Speaker 1: actually nominated for FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week. Um.
Speaker 1: The other two nominees are Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry,
Speaker 1: So he is in very good company there. Make sure
Speaker 1: you guys go vote for him. Um. The money goes
Speaker 1: to an HBCU. It's like two thousand dollars that's donated
Speaker 1: in his name. But you have till tomorrow to vote,
Speaker 1: So you guys should vote on NFL dot com. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my thumbs up. You know I'm two
Speaker 1: thumbs up. Oh y'all. Did I think our offenses look
Speaker 1: look very very good? When I when I complain about
Speaker 1: Zeke not getting the balls because I'm biased and I
Speaker 1: want to see I want to see I want to
Speaker 1: see Zeke running. But what he's been doing has been working. Um,
Speaker 1: I think now he's going to have an opportunity to
Speaker 1: get it. Maybe three thumbs up. And because my man
Speaker 1: of Mark Cooper has the Bruce Ribs, you already out gallup,
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to figure out a way to
Speaker 1: make this offense work when you're not seeing double teams
Speaker 1: on a Mark Cooper and you just have Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 1: and now you have Tony Pollard and Zeke in the
Speaker 1: game as your main threats. Um, So I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna have an opportunity to prove prove his worth more.
Speaker 1: He's already doing a great job and hopefully he can
Speaker 1: continue to do so. Because Philly's defense, Yeah, they really
Speaker 1: they still can play. Can one are the things that
Speaker 1: you're coming into this week is you're not talking about
Speaker 1: Terrence Steel in a negative way. The Cowboys went out
Speaker 1: here as he filled in for Collins at the right tackle.
Speaker 1: They gave him the proper help out there, and the
Speaker 1: young man did a really nice job. I asked Dac
Speaker 1: about that after the game. I thought it was something
Speaker 1: they needed to be we needed to talk a whole
Speaker 1: lot about because people were fearful thinking, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: Joey Bolsa is about to come out here. Michael Parson
Speaker 1: has had a much had much more impact as a
Speaker 1: defensive rush in than Joey Bosa did for the Chargers.
Speaker 1: Sixty plays by the offense, they had eight possessions. They
Speaker 1: scored on four of them. That's great efficiency on the road.
Speaker 1: Twenty seven passes, thirty one runs. Totally different game plan
Speaker 1: that he had from what you had to do against
Speaker 1: the Bucks. He was criticized against the Bucks, but folks,
Speaker 1: let's look at the fact that Tampa's defensive backfield wasn't good.
Speaker 1: You're already down one start. He had another starter break
Speaker 1: his arm in the game. That was where you needed
Speaker 1: to attack. I just thought he did an excellent job
Speaker 1: of mixing up and having the balance and the opponent
Speaker 1: was different and he came up with a different game plan.
Speaker 1: So to me, I got to give Killing more two
Speaker 1: thumbs up for what he's done so far in these
Speaker 1: two games. He's put the Cowboys in the position offensively.
Speaker 1: I think they needed to be Listen, there's no break
Speaker 1: for my man. Still Now, Okay, he got he got
Speaker 1: some Yeah, okay, I love it that he might have
Speaker 1: a chance out. Yeah, I still wanted to drink your
Speaker 1: protein shaking, do all that, you know, make sure everything
Speaker 1: is right. But it looks better. It looks a lot
Speaker 1: better with Graham being out because he was was playing well. Yes,
Speaker 1: all this real quick, because I know we run out
Speaker 1: of time. Let's just say Still puts together five excellent displays.
Speaker 1: No pressures, no sacks, No, not a chance, No, no
Speaker 1: chance at all. Because I think when you're just when
Speaker 1: something's going well, you don't need to mess it up.
Speaker 1: Don't change it. I don't care if Collins comes back.
Speaker 1: If something's working right now, let's keep back because we
Speaker 1: could lose Collins again. Something else could happen. He could
Speaker 1: get another test. Some is some issue. I say, if
Speaker 1: it's going well, let's keep it going. Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go back with ELC just because he was playing well
Speaker 1: before he uh, you know, got suspended, and he is,
Speaker 1: he is making the big bucks. So I think they're
Speaker 1: still going to give him that shot to get back
Speaker 1: in the game and have still as a swing tackle
Speaker 1: because now they know that they have a reliable swing tackle.
Speaker 1: And the thing that you have with Collins is you've
Speaker 1: got an ability to let him play more one on one.
Speaker 1: You don't have to give him the kind of help
Speaker 1: that you have to give Steal. So that's why you're
Speaker 1: going to go back to college because he'll get killing more,
Speaker 1: more options in his offense. Now after the season, there's
Speaker 1: a whole new different kind of conversation going on. During
Speaker 1: the season, I mean, that's that's that's that's your guy.
Speaker 1: And uh, he didn't lose the spot because he wasn't
Speaker 1: playing well, right, so what about the play on the field,
Speaker 1: And that's and that's not Jerry's emo, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: He's going to give you an extra chance of anything, right,
Speaker 1: j Jerry's gonna give you a second and third chance
Speaker 1: to to prove yourself and make sure you could do
Speaker 1: that thing right. Just look at Randy Gregory. So he's
Speaker 1: not gonna lose the spot just based off being suspended. Yeah,
Speaker 1: players lounge for a Tuesday, let's get back back at
Speaker 1: it on a Wednesday. Players are off up. What do
