0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 1>the COVID's been running around rapid. I am new Discuss

<v Speaker 1>must go on, though, it's got to go on. The

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>famous words, the show must go on. Yes, So the

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Whington football teams hosting the Dallas Cowboys Sunday and landover Maryland. Barry,

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to go back to the first time you

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>ever went to FedEx Field. What were you thinking it

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>was gonna be? Versus when you showed up and you

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>drove through there and you're like, it's here, man, I'm

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>not gonna lie to my first That was my very

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:26.679
<v Speaker 1>first regular season game in twenty ten and we went

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>to Washington. We lost that game. I think that was

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>when the Agelo Hall scoop and scored the fumble. They

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>won like thirteen to three or something crazy like that.

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>But that was my first time going to an NFL game, period.

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>So then Washington was it was up there, and like

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>you said, man, we're driving up. I'm thinking, you know,

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>all stadiums in the NFL are glamorous, like so I

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>went you know, small high school and Toledo. Of course

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that's a mid major, so the stadium is not gonna

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>be crazy. So my man, I'm thinking, I've never been

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>to an NFL game and I'm only driven past, you know,

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers stadium, and that stadium was pretty dope. So

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>to me, I'm like, all right, man, this this is

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be amazing. I can't wait to see you go

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>through this tunnel and get to the locker room. It's

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna be so high tech. Man. We pulled up in

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>their I was like what, And then we walked pack.

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>We walked through the tunnel of the tunnel, crocks all

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>over the tunnel. The locker rooms small and looked like

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>it was built back in nineteen sixty five and they

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>haven't done any reservations to it, so I was extremely disappointed.

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>But the atmosphere was pretty cool. Man atmosphere was definitely

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. That tradition, that rivalry is definitely alive in there.

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>And for the most part, like we talked about the

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 1>other day, it's all Cowboys fans. It's like it's like

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>a home game away from you know, Dallas. So I

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>loved going up to Washington. I got a great record

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>against that team. So hopefully it continues on our Sunday.

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>The thing that's weird is as you're driving through this

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>town in Maryland and you pass RFK on the left

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>where they used to play, where the place used to jump.

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>So you pass the old stadium. Then you drive it

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>through this neighborhood. You pass apartments and liquor stores and

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>in these this is kind of shopping, this kind of

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>shopping areas, and the next thing you know, you're here.

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's a whole bunch of landing. The stadium

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 1>is there, and you're like, okay, yeah, so so what

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you were used to is all right, here's at and

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>T Stadium. You know, this palatial place next to you know,

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>another baseball diamond, and then you're passing the Steelers in

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.079
<v Speaker 1>your Hinsfield, which is right next to where the Pirates play.

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Those stadiums are right there together. And then you come

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>to this and you're like, oh, okay, and then you

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>realize how old it is when you go down. This

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>is an old place, man. Man, it's it's old. It's

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>real old, and it's real small. Like it's just like

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>the locker rooms you know at at and T Stadium.

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like, you know, you got a whole bedroom as

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>your locker, but in there, it's like, man, it's literally

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>like a cubby and everybody's so tighten. Like there's offenses

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>on one side, then there's a wall, then there's a

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>defense on the other. And the training room is right there,

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>so I mean, it's just it's real compact. You're right

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>next to the opening of the stadium, so if you're

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>playing in there in this cold, they leave the doors

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>open in the locker room, it's freezing. So I mean

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>it's just all around. Man. They need to get up

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>out of there, and newly they need to get up

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>out of that stadium. But okay, I don't see it

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>coming anytime soon. Well, ideally from from the things you

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>keep reading in the Washington Post is Dan Snyder wants

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 1>to go to RFK. He'd like to get something built there,

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.159
<v Speaker 1>but that apparently is not happening. And then of course

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>they've talked about going in Virginia someplace. So I'll say this,

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be hard to find public money and votes

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>for that stadium. Who's gonna want to vote for Daniel Sardy.

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>He's an unpopular man. He's taken the team, which which

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>had a long list of season ticket holders over ten

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 1>thousand plus, and he's whittled that damn to Now you

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>roll up in there, you know it's a home game

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>for the other team. Cheeseheads came up in there, took

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>over last year. Colts fans were up in there. So

0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>so he's he's really done a lot of damage. And

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>these votes are hard. I remember when Denver was trying

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to get the votes for their stadium. They've won the

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl and it barely passed. I remember when they

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>were trying to get Cowboys stadium build here. Jerry had

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to work real hard and had bill parcels out there.

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they were out here trying to convince people

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>they give us your vote, so you'll give us public

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 1>money for this stadium. So I don't know where Daniel

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Snyder is going to be able to go get it.

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>And then you look at all the messages that are

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>going on at his organization, inside the organization, and they're

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>not winning, so I should say they're not winning championships

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>anymore like they used to. So so we'll see. But

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>they have won four straight football games. They are two

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>games behind the Cowboys, so this game is going to

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>be important. Montest Sweat, one of their pass rushers is

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>not going to be playing in this contest. We already

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>know Chase Young, who they took in the draft last year,

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>number two overall. He's out for the season, and they're

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 1>tied in Logan Thomas, who has had some pretty nice

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 1>games against the Cowboys past a couple of years. He

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 1>will not play in this football game. So the Boys

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>is they're getting some guys back Washington, losing some guys here. Yeah, yeah,

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.359
<v Speaker 1>you're right about that. They lost some important pieces, definitely

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Logan Thomas. You know, he's missed the majority of this

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>season and then he comes back these last couple of games.

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>He plays well against the Raiders and then boom, he

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 1>takes that injury right there the last victor or the

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>last time they played. So to me, that's a huge

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 1>loss because that was kind of like their security blaming.

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 1>That was Heinekes like security blaming. When everything breaks down,

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>he's looking for Logan Thomas. So without him being there,

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I think they still have Ricky Sills Junior. I think

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>he's still there as they're tight end. He's another one

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>of those wide receivers slash tight end type guys, so

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>we should be able to contain him. But even with

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>all those injuries, we know on the defensive side of

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the ball, Sweat, who's been out for the majority of

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 1>the year as well, will miss again because of COVID.

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 1>But with all those injuries, they still on the offensive

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball, they still have those cowboy killers.

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>And I'm talking about Gibson and I'm talking about Scary

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Terry McLaurin. I mean those two guys alone they do

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>some damage to the Dallas Cowboys last time they met up,

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.719
<v Speaker 1>I believe in Washington, Gibson went off running the football

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and we know what Scary Terry could do on the outside.

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 1>And it's like we go through this every single time

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>we play a guy in the division that just does

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.440
<v Speaker 1>well gets Dallas. Look at with the Raiders, the Shan Jackson,

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 1>he came back. He was a cowboy killer. Nobody knew

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>anything about this guy this season. He wasn't doing anything,

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and then boom, he plays against us and goes off.

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>So those two guys have the capabilities to be in

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>game records. So it makes me a little bit nervous.

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>But I'm with you, knew I think the Boys got

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>this handle. I look at Neville Gallamore coming back. I

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>just cannot emphasize that enough of how much I'm expecting

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>him to be the player I saw a training camp

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.679
<v Speaker 1>who was an improved football player, who was the best

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>interior defensive lineman they had. And when I go back

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>to camp and guys that I saw improvements from, Terrence

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Steele was one of the guys that we saw improvement from,

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>improvements from. We saw Cdelad making incredible plays. We saw

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Sean mckewen the tight end playing out of football. We

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>saw a lot of guys in that second year with

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a full camp that we're getting better. So I'm expecting

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Nevill Gallimore to get out there to help fortify the

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 1>defensive line to help stop the run. Tristan Hill is

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>coming back off the suspension to go along with, Hey, yeah,

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 1>don't punch nobody. How about that, you know, at least

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>not not after the game, but but hope hopefully losing

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>that paycheck will get him in the right frame of month.

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 1>And and then also Osagi Zua. So if you get

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>some more beef up front going on with Carlos Watkins,

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>get some more beef up front, stop that run. Then

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you get your defensive ends back to Tank Lawrence and

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Rady Gregory. We know Tank Lawrence is very good at

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>helping to stop the run as well. I like what

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys from a defensive standpoint they're gonna be able

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to bring. And then now you've got Michael Parsons with

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.559
<v Speaker 1>the ability to line him up in different pressure points.

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 1>So I'm expecting the Cowboys and Dan Quinn to go

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:53.679
<v Speaker 1>out and fit, you know, figure out how do you

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>stop the run? First, stop Gibson and then it's chart

0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>as far as Terry McLaurin goes, okay, hey Treyvon, go

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>get it, go, get you know, do what you did

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.199
<v Speaker 1>to Justin Jefferson and other football players out there, and

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>if Taylor Heneke wants to go ahead and throw digs

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 1>his way to try and put some pressure out there

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>for him, if I the Cowboys that welcome it. Yeah,

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.319
<v Speaker 1>And I'm with you on that. And you gotta be thinking, man,

0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.960
<v Speaker 1>with these names you were throwing out along the defensive line,

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when's the last time they were this deep

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>along that that that unit. I mean you didn't even

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.679
<v Speaker 1>talk about Basham or Daurance Armstrong. I mean you got

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Carlo's Watkin's returning, you know, interceptions for touchdowns we get

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, he'll returning like all those guys you just mentioned.

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm just thinking to myself, like, man, I don't even

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>know when the last time we had a defensive line

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>that was this deep to where you could literally rotate

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.559
<v Speaker 1>maybe three separate units and still have high productivity like that.

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 1>To me, it just blew my mind. Like I'm just

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>sat there and thing like, Man, this team this defensively,

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 1>and if they all get healthy and remain healthy, I mean,

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.199
<v Speaker 1>this defense can be scary in the long run. I

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want to sound like a Homer. I don't want

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>to do that. I try to make sure when I

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>come here on the players lounge about to you by

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 1>hotels dot Com that I tell it like it is.

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And I'm looking at the Cowboys having played three games

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 1>in twelve days, battling some injuries, battling some COVID and

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 1>they did not look their best as they lost two

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.480
<v Speaker 1>of the three in that stretch. And know the New

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Orleans Saints win wasn't some great win like they went

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:26.959
<v Speaker 1>out there and beat Atlanta. They had to struggle, they

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>had to earn the win. But I don't think I'm

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 1>being a homer when I tell you the Cowboys are

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>now getting ready to get some reinforcements back that can

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 1>improve this football team for a stretch run into the playoffs,

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and they can improve themselves. You can do this, I mean,

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>and I say this looking back at Tampa Bay last

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.439
<v Speaker 1>year seven and five at one point, and people look

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 1>at the Buccaneers saying, hey man, we don't know if

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>this thing is really working out with Bruce Arians and

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady. We don't know. And we saw them get

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 1>it together. You saw a guy like Vita Vea come back.

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>You can get better. And in fact, we saw Tampa

0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 1>struggling with that secondary Barry. Remember the week one Dak

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Prescott was torturing that secondary up there. They're getting guys,

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>They're getting guys back, and you're starting to see them

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>play a better brand of football. So, if we are

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>being fair and we talk about what the Cowboys are

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>getting back and the ability to put out a lineup,

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>they yet to have the lineup that they penciled down,

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the lineup that they thought they had in training camp.

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>They haven't had an opportunity to roll those guys out.

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 1>This could be in on Sunday and at the most

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 1>important time against the team that is behind you. You

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and win this game. Man, You got three

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 1>up on him and you got four to play. Could

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 1>be pretty good. You're right about that, And I'm sure

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>after we take this break, I got a question to

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>ask you when we get back with all that, with

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>all that along and defensive line, do you keep Parsons

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>at the linebacker or do you still do what he

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>does best? And that's after the quarter. This we will

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>discuss after we take this break. Barry Church, Knwi Scruggs,

<v Speaker 1>by hotels dot Com. I'm new Rescripts, joined by the

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Toledo Rocket himself. He is Barry Church. I don't know

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.200
<v Speaker 1>if he's gonna head down to the Bahamas Bowl and

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 1>not to support the Rockets, but if you're going to

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>go to a bowl game, that would be a very

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 1>good one to go to, my man, a very good one.

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>So I would love to join the Toledo Rockets down there.

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give Coach Candle a shout see if he

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 1>can hook something up for your boy to get me

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 1>down in the Bahamas and lot Nui. I didn't know,

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>but the Rockets were seven and five this year. You know,

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought we barely made it Bowl eligible wise, but hey,

0:14:57.880 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>if we were a game above it seven to five. Man,

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>here's one thing that I will say for the Mac teams.

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>They're lucky because most of the bowl games they get

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 1>to go to are are outside the Midwest most of

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the time. Yeah, man, yeah, I feel sorry for some

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 1>of these Texas teams. Man, you sit up here, you

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 1>get to go to bowl game, and they go roll

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>you right down the road, like what waiting We're going

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>to San Antonio. We're going to prison real quick. Yeah yeah,

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean I would be hot like he man, all

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 1>year long, you're waiting on this nice bowl game and

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>they gonna send you and you're staying in the state

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of Texas, you know, not even get to go to

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans, you know, I mean you do not want

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>you that. That would frustrate outside of the Cotton Bowl,

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 1>because the Cotton Bowl is a great game, and that's

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the big that's one of the big bowls.

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, man, if you're just a Texas team like

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 1>we need to lay on the beach somewhere and hang out.

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Not much rather do that than, like you said, go

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 1>ahead and go right down the street, you know, to

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the Alamo Bowl or somewhere like that. Man. I it's

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 1>just it's just a bad straw right there, man, bad draw. Yeah. Yeah,

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>then I feel sorry for um, for SMU. Man, they

0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 1>got to go to Boston. They're going to the Fenway Bowl,

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>so they're playing in Fenway Park. It's gonna be cold, cold,

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>so hey, you get the leave Texas, but you're going

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>up to Boston. Man, it's gonna be cold up in here.

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 1>So yes, yes, your your Toledo Rockets have it really good.

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, if you're not in the Sugar Bowl,

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl, Bahama's Bowl, is

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>a heck of a consolation. Man. Now that you can

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 1>go recruit with you're out there, man, you can recruit

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>with that without a doubt. And also you can you

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 1>bring your clubs do a little golfing down there. So, hey, Toledo,

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.520
<v Speaker 1>if you're listening, man, hook your boy up, hooky boy up. Man,

0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll be on the sound. I'll do whatever whatever you need,

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 1>quality control, whatever you need. I'm there a man. Just

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, send a ticket for your boy. Meanwhile, Danny's

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.159
<v Speaker 1>LSU Tigers are gonna go take on k State in

0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Houston at the Texas Bowl. I don't think I don't

0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 1>think that's what the LSU kids thought was gonna happen.

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:19.879
<v Speaker 1>It's the start of the year. They're gonna go just

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:21.680
<v Speaker 1>right down the road to go a couple of hours

0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 1>out of Houston for a bowl game. But yeah, that's

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a family, family and friends bowl right there

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.200
<v Speaker 1>where all you see in the stands is just you know, family,

0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the immediate family, and some friends. Man. That's that's all

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be right there. Now, all right, let's dive

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 1>back into some cowboy defensive questions as they get ready

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:44.639
<v Speaker 1>to face Washington in their key game on Sunday. And look,

0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm a huge fan of Michael Parsons. I think you

0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 1>and I were both there at first just wondering Okay,

0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>hey man, you drive have to had the corner, but

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you took the next best defensive player that was one

0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:57.879
<v Speaker 1>of the top three guys we kind of focused on

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 1>were Sir Patrick Surtan of Alabama, jac Horne, South Carolina,

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and then it was Michael Parsons. But we were all

0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.479
<v Speaker 1>about a defensive player. Our guy, Danny McCrae was all

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 1>about offensive tackle. So Mica has turned out to be

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.679
<v Speaker 1>a sensational pick at twelve. He is going to win

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Now with Tank

0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence coming back at one defensive end spot Randy Gregory

0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>at the other, I say you put him back at linebacker.

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.119
<v Speaker 1>But the beauty of what dan Quinn is going to

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>be able to do is he'll be able to dial

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 1>up pressure any kind of way he wants. So he

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>can have him play some bass, he can have him

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.120
<v Speaker 1>line up over the center. I mean, he can bring

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 1>him so many different places, man, that I just think,

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I think we're about to see Michael Parsons go next

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 1>level if we see and think we can get Randy

0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Gregory playing like he had before he got injured, Tank

0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence doing what he's been able to do when healthy

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 1>in his career, and Neville Gallimor taking another step in

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 1>his second year. I think this can free up Michael

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Parsons and do some damage. Yeah, you're right about that, man.

0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm agreeing with which because this will be the first

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.800
<v Speaker 1>time really that dan Quinn will be able to use

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.760
<v Speaker 1>him as like a defensive weapon, you know, a physician list,

0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.680
<v Speaker 1>just defensive weapon out there, because you got the guys

0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.680
<v Speaker 1>on the outside. Let's just say tank. You know he's

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:14.840
<v Speaker 1>coming back strong. He came back in that Saints game

0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.200
<v Speaker 1>and played pretty well at nine PM. Let's say that

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Gregory does the same thing when he comes back. You

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 1>have your two bookends on the outside. So you could,

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:24.880
<v Speaker 1>like you said, you can play with Michael Parsons alignment.

0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:26.680
<v Speaker 1>You can blitz him up the center, you can have

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.399
<v Speaker 1>him attack the wink link of the offensive line. But

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:31.919
<v Speaker 1>you could have him everywhere and pretty much use him

0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.240
<v Speaker 1>as a defensive weapon. I mean, when we first started

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about this guy, I thought, all right, you know

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.400
<v Speaker 1>he's a beast, but I think he needs to stay

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 1>at linebacker. You know, he can he can affect the

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:42.720
<v Speaker 1>game more that way. You know, he doesn't have to

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:44.959
<v Speaker 1>come off the field. Because at the defensive lineman you're

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to rotate. But he proved me wrong. Man,

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 1>when he got down to that defensive line, he was

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 1>still able to give you fifty to sixty snaps and

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 1>he was causing havoc for every offensive line that was

0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 1>out there, whether it was a tackle or there was

0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:00.360
<v Speaker 1>he moved them inside playing guard. So now that we're

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 1>so deep at the defensive line, I think you can

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 1>truly use him as a weapon no matter what the situation.

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 1>You can put them back in the past coverage if

0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you want to attack it, you can have push d

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.359
<v Speaker 1>Law on the inside and have Parsons on the outside

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:15.160
<v Speaker 1>as an end. You have so many capabilities of using

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 1>this guy and his talent and his abilities. I mean,

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:19.600
<v Speaker 1>it could be a scary sight. It could be a

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.440
<v Speaker 1>scary sight if it all works out. But to me,

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Gregory has to come back like he was before he

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 1>was injured, because he was on a roll, he was

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:28.879
<v Speaker 1>on a tear. If he can do that, then man,

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:30.719
<v Speaker 1>the sky's limit for this defense and what they can

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.119
<v Speaker 1>do with parsons. And then the question you have to

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.439
<v Speaker 1>ask is, Okay, who do you double team? I mean literally,

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 1>who do you double team, where do you go? And

0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.200
<v Speaker 1>so I think dan Quinn is going to be able

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.159
<v Speaker 1>to just get in getting you talk about getting in

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 1>your bag, He'll be able to get in his bag

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and do some different things. If everyone is as we

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.399
<v Speaker 1>talked about, is able to play at the level that

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>we believe they can on this defense, and now you're

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about trying to get this unit to gel for

0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 1>their last five games. Here, we could be talking about

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:00.720
<v Speaker 1>a different type of Cowboys team. I was chatting with

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Rick Goslin and he was talking about New England. He says, Hey,

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 1>that's not the same team that the Cowboys faced. He said,

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a different team now, which means you know what

0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 1>they were able to grow and you coach them up.

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I look at that same standpoint for what I think

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:21.639
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys can do and be. This defensive unit can

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 1>get better, they can grow, and you could go into

0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs talking about a different type of football team.

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Offensive side, we got some other questions, but right now, defensively,

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I like what they could possibly do, and not only

0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a different team, but a healthy team, Like if they're

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:39.160
<v Speaker 1>able to get back all these reinforcements and they're able

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:42.040
<v Speaker 1>to stay healthy for this playoff run. I mean, you're

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:44.240
<v Speaker 1>looking at a dangerous squad. I mean the last time

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 1>they were all together as one, like as a defense,

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.160
<v Speaker 1>everybody was healthy, was Week one, you know, against Tampa Bay,

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:52.399
<v Speaker 1>and we said all that game went out, I mean,

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 1>you know it. It was a high scoring affair, but

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the defense was able to get four takeaways as well.

0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 1>So to me, this is just this team to start

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.240
<v Speaker 1>to come together. They're starting to gel as a unit.

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's kind of knowing the strengths and weaknesses of what

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:07.040
<v Speaker 1>they're asked and we're being asked to do out there,

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and they're playing at a high level. I mean it's

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:11.200
<v Speaker 1>not only the defensive line. You look at the second level.

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Vander esh you know, he might not stand out as much,

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 1>but he's not he's not giving up players or busting

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 1>coverages like he has in the pasts. And then you

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.480
<v Speaker 1>look in the secondary. I think Anthony Brown. You know,

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 1>we get on him a lot on the show earlier

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 1>in the season, but this guy has had an extremely

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:27.640
<v Speaker 1>solid season. Outside of two games, you know, the one

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>game against the Raiders and then the Tampa Bay game,

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>He's played extremely good, a solid corner on the outside

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.280
<v Speaker 1>opposite of trait or digs on the other side. We

0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 1>know all know how he's playing. So to me, this

0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:40.119
<v Speaker 1>defense is gelling. It's getting healthier and it could be

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>scary going come playoff time. If these guys can all gel,

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:47.879
<v Speaker 1>now that's an optimal word. If they can all gel. Folks,

0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 1>If it doesn't happen this Sunday, do not panic. Okay,

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:57.639
<v Speaker 1>it may take some time to get everything, all the

0:22:57.720 --> 0:22:59.719
<v Speaker 1>pieces together and Barry, this is where you can talk

0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:01.879
<v Speaker 1>to to people. Being a former safety in the league,

0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:04.359
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you've got a thought of what you think it

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:06.479
<v Speaker 1>could be and it may take you a little bit

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to get there. I present to you the New England

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Patriots took them a little bit to get to that

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 1>vision of what Bill Belichick's wanted on both sides of

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the football, but they got there with five games to go.

0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 1>I believe the Cowboys can be able to get there.

0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:21.200
<v Speaker 1>This is a key game that you like to go

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:23.680
<v Speaker 1>ahead and get in the bag because to beat Washington

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:26.440
<v Speaker 1>at their place, knowing that you get them the day

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 1>after Christmas at your place, this can be a big

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.440
<v Speaker 1>help in terms of being able to wrap up this

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 1>division and try to tinker with a couple of things

0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 1>if you want to, and don't forget you've got Arizona

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:42.160
<v Speaker 1>after you face walk the Washington football team at Jerry World.

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:47.040
<v Speaker 1>So I like what I'm seeing on the defensive side

0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:50.720
<v Speaker 1>of things. Offensively, we got issues, but right now the

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:53.560
<v Speaker 1>defense maybe the side of the football that can kind

0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 1>of help carry the Cowboys right now. Yeah, well i'd

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 1>have done. I think, you know, they can help carry

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 1>it or do their job to get just team to

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:02.480
<v Speaker 1>where it needs to be. Um, like you said, we

0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:04.600
<v Speaker 1>got them because we got Washington to a two out

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:06.680
<v Speaker 1>of the next three games. And to me, if we

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:10.159
<v Speaker 1>wrap this up in Washington this weekend, I think it's

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 1>done for the division. I think that you know, that

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:15.159
<v Speaker 1>puts a three game lead between the Cowboys and the

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:17.639
<v Speaker 1>next closest you know, guy, or next closest team in

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the NFC East. So I think it pretty much gives

0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:24.399
<v Speaker 1>us the leeway to pretty much solidify that playoff position

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and get that division lead or that division crown. So

0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:29.359
<v Speaker 1>this is definitely a huge game. And like you mentioned this,

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 1>this defense, they're gonna they have to take some time

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:33.639
<v Speaker 1>to jail. It's not just gonna happen overnight. I mean,

0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you got pieces in here that are ultra talented but

0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:39.800
<v Speaker 1>had yet to really play together as a whole all season.

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, de Barcus Lawrence came back last week. He

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>showed that he can he's been He's back to where

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:46.360
<v Speaker 1>he used to be, and he can affect the quarterback

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:48.919
<v Speaker 1>and affect the run game. But it's still gonna take

0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:50.639
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of time for all these pieces to

0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:53.919
<v Speaker 1>jail and see where they fit perfectly. So I'm interested

0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to see what they do on third downs. That's gonna

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>be a huge key for me to see how they're

0:24:58.040 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna play this package or they're gonna make it kind

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:02.680
<v Speaker 1>of like just a fast Nascar type package where you

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>kick the loll in and you put Parcels on the

0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:07.920
<v Speaker 1>edge with Gregory and then maybe a Neville Gallimore or

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Thorn's Armstrong at the other tackle position. So I'm interested

0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:12.879
<v Speaker 1>to see what they do on third down. But this

0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:14.879
<v Speaker 1>is definitely a huge game and these guys definitely need

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:17.919
<v Speaker 1>to bring an a game and hopefully this defense can continue.

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a high level of play. So Barry, what is

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the mindset for a football team sitting here with this

0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of league? Knowing if you go to Washington, you

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:30.440
<v Speaker 1>may be able to go ahead and soak up this

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:33.920
<v Speaker 1>division right now. But on the flip side, if you

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:38.359
<v Speaker 1>don't handle your business, you've now given them life. So

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:41.960
<v Speaker 1>you gotta be you gotta be extremely locked in. You

0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 1>gotta be extremely locked in, and I think this team is.

0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they know the opportunity they have right now

0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 1>to pretty much take a commanding lead in this division

0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and pretty much lock it up. So I think Dak

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:53.680
<v Speaker 1>and the leaders on this team they won't let this.

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:56.120
<v Speaker 1>They won't let the guys wander. They won't they won't

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 1>let a Denver Broncos type situation happen again. And I

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:01.399
<v Speaker 1>think that good for us that it already is out

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 1>of our system. We saw what happened in Denver. I

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:05.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think this team will let that happen again. So

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:08.080
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be extremely locked in now, is it? You

0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:10.600
<v Speaker 1>know Washington gonna come or come with their A game

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:12.359
<v Speaker 1>and they might you know, beat this team. Yes, that

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:16.360
<v Speaker 1>is a that is a possibility, but overall, I don't

0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 1>think it'll be because the team's not focused or not

0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>ready to play. I think they know what's on the

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 1>on task right here now that they know what the

0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:24.760
<v Speaker 1>goal is, so hopefully they come to Washington ready to play.

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>He's buried church, I knew, he scrugs. Danny McRae with

0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the day off, but do not forget. You can watch

0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:35.639

<v Speaker 1>up before Christmas. So that's how these shows kind of

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 1>how they do it. So they wrap it up the

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.600
<v Speaker 1>week before Christmas. So so it's this week next week

<v Speaker 1>many malls gotta saying are going on right now? Okay,

0:30:36.880 --> 0:30:42.240
<v Speaker 1>that's fair, That is definitely fair. Okay, I got Sandings everywhere. Okay,

0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 1>everywhere you go. We never say, hey, man, you can't

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:46.959
<v Speaker 1>have more than one saying. I mean saying it everywhere

0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 1>every moment. S magical man, Sanda magical? Man? How can

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Roddy Canty magical? See? Why are we limiting Rowdy's magic?

0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I just think that we should be, you know, maximized Roddy.

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:01.840
<v Speaker 1>That's all I'm saying. Man, I'll put a business plan together.

0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we can make something work. I mean, I'm gonna

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 1>work for Jerry when I get fired and Channel five,

0:31:06.120 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna work for Jerry. Like Jerry. I figured out

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:12.040
<v Speaker 1>ten ways that I could bring in more money to you. Man, Hey,

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 1>just bring your boy with you, man, I gotta I

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:17.160
<v Speaker 1>can get part of that too. You're in the Players Lounge,

0:31:17.200 --> 0:31:19.440
<v Speaker 1>brought to you by Hotels dot Com, new He Scrugs

0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:22.160
<v Speaker 1>and Barry Church. Danny McCrae with the day off here

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:25.160
<v Speaker 1>all right, so so Church. Jerry Jones does a show

0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 1>every Tuesday on one to five, three of the Fan.

0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I used to do that show, so I understand those questions.

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 1>You want to get into Jerry and seeing where he's at.

0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:34.840
<v Speaker 1>So Sean and r J, who are the hosts. They

0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:38.360
<v Speaker 1>asked Jerry about Dak, you know, is he healthy? And

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:40.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, because because they don't think that Dak has

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:42.160
<v Speaker 1>been the same since coming back of the calf injury.

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:44.440
<v Speaker 1>And that's a fair that's a fair assessment. That's a

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:47.200
<v Speaker 1>fair from from you know, not being involved, you know,

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 1>with the team, you can look from and say, hey,

0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 1>look it's been different. And so Jerry proceeded to say that,

0:31:53.200 --> 0:31:56.080
<v Speaker 1>all right, the receivers if kind of let them down, yeah,

0:31:56.600 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 1>not kind of where they needed to be at some

0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:02.640
<v Speaker 1>times here and some people thought it was a shot.

0:32:03.280 --> 0:32:05.840
<v Speaker 1>But one thing Jerry didn't say, which I definitely believe

0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 1>he was. He would have been a legitimately fined to

0:32:08.560 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 1>save us. Hey man, we have way too many drops, Okay,

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:16.440
<v Speaker 1>way too many drops. And Noah Browns, Cedric Wilson, especially

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:18.680
<v Speaker 1>in Kansas City just didn't have the kind of football

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 1>game that they needed to have. Okay, there was their

0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:24.960
<v Speaker 1>time to go ahead and and and be there. They weren't.

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 1>They just simply weren't. So it was a problem because

0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you had cooper out with COVID and then you had

0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:32.480
<v Speaker 1>um Um, you had cdlam who left the game with

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the concussion. Those guys didn't not pick up slack. Yeah,

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and get you right about that. Man, I don't know

0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:40.680
<v Speaker 1>how it would take this. You know, if I was

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:42.040
<v Speaker 1>a you know, if I was a receiver, but I

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 1>was in that receiving room, I don't know how it

0:32:44.120 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 1>would take this because he's kind of he's kind of

0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:48.520
<v Speaker 1>putting it on them. He's kind of putting the saying, hey,

0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, a lot of girls throws they you know,

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:52.640
<v Speaker 1>they weren't in it. They weren't overthrows or under throws.

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, the receivers got to help them out. They

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:56.280
<v Speaker 1>got to be able to catch the balls. And you know,

0:32:57.240 --> 0:32:58.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just don't know how I would feel

0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:00.719
<v Speaker 1>about that because the room, like you said, there's been

0:33:00.720 --> 0:33:02.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of drops. You know, I understand that the

0:33:02.840 --> 0:33:04.680
<v Speaker 1>A team really wasn't in there. It wasn't you know,

0:33:04.760 --> 0:33:06.240
<v Speaker 1>like the whole the whole time. It wasn't you know,

0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 1>a CD gallop and cooped together. You know, we had

0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:11.040
<v Speaker 1>some said will since we had some Noah Browns in there,

0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and occasionally a Malik Turner as well, and so it

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:15.800
<v Speaker 1>wasn't the A team that was in there. But there

0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:17.360
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of drops. There was a lot of

0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:20.000
<v Speaker 1>drops out there, and for him to kind of say, hey,

0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:21.840
<v Speaker 1>you know what, the receiver's gotta help out. They gotta

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 1>do something better is it's kind of a shot. It's

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 1>definitely kind of a shot. And if I'm a receiver,

0:33:26.600 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking it that way. But there's not much you

0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 1>can really do. You just gotta go out there and

0:33:30.480 --> 0:33:32.600
<v Speaker 1>step up, step your game up, and when a ball

0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 1>strow on your way, you gotta catch it. Make plays. Hey, look,

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about several guys who are going to be

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 1>free agents. So if Jerry said it and you're trying

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to get your bag, I'd be listening to it because

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:50.880
<v Speaker 1>you know who's going to decide your fate here with

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys, Jerry Jones. Okay, so Jerry to me, and

0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I look at Jerry that told you how he feels.

0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:59.000
<v Speaker 1>A man, I don't think you're helping my forty million

0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:02.040
<v Speaker 1>dollars quarterback out. Even if the forty million dollars quarterback

0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 1>has been off target. Bottom line is perception, perceptions reality,

0:34:06.360 --> 0:34:08.480
<v Speaker 1>So the man who writes the checks has a perception

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of what's going on right now. So you've got Amari Cooper.

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Think of it this way. The only safe person is

0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:15.759
<v Speaker 1>cde E Lamb. He's still under his rookie contract. But

0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:18.840
<v Speaker 1>the MARII Cooper, all of the guarantees are coming, so

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:20.960
<v Speaker 1>if they want to move on from him, they can

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:25.120
<v Speaker 1>with no issue. And E. Centric Wilson's FREEC Michael Gallants

0:34:25.160 --> 0:34:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a free agent, and and Noah Brown should be. I

0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:30.800
<v Speaker 1>think he may be a free agent as well. So

0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:34.360
<v Speaker 1>there's guys who are to be thinking about, hey, I

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:37.880
<v Speaker 1>need to be there. They definitely should think because you know,

0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:41.360
<v Speaker 1>if Jerry's if Jerry's saying I'm thinking that, you know,

0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:43.840
<v Speaker 1>somebody told him, man, so they had to be somewhere

0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:48.120
<v Speaker 1>in the scouting department or the coaches. Somebody told him like, man, yeah,

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:49.880
<v Speaker 1>these receivers need to step it up. You know, they

0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 1>ain't helping press scout up out a lot out there,

0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 1>and they need to step it up. So you know,

0:34:53.280 --> 0:34:55.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not only Jerry feeling that way. So if I'm

0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 1>a receiver. Like you said, man, you gotta think man.

0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:00.879
<v Speaker 1>So not only is Jerry thinking, and probably the money

0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:04.000
<v Speaker 1>man is thinking that scouting department and maybe even these coaches.

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:06.080
<v Speaker 1>So if I'm trying to get paid, I'm trying to

0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 1>get that bag. If I'm trying to be with these

0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:12.120
<v Speaker 1>cowboys long term, gotta step the game up, man, especially

0:35:12.120 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 1>in these primetime games coming up, got these division games

0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:16.759
<v Speaker 1>coming up. Ain't a better way to make money. You

0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:18.879
<v Speaker 1>gotta step it up and make these plays. So I'm

0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:21.879
<v Speaker 1>a receiver definitely listening, got with a keen ear saying,

0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:24.000
<v Speaker 1>all right, this is what Jerry's saying. All Right, I

0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:25.759
<v Speaker 1>gotta I gotta get back ground on. I gotta get

0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:27.719
<v Speaker 1>back to work. So but I'm sure to listen. They

0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:30.800
<v Speaker 1>got enough playmakers over there. So you're you've been a

0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:32.600
<v Speaker 1>player in the league, and you know how players are

0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:35.840
<v Speaker 1>sensitive to what they hear. If Jerry is going to

0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:38.759
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and put this out on his radio show,

0:35:39.640 --> 0:35:43.919
<v Speaker 1>imagine what he's saying behind the scenes. Most times people

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 1>guard what they say if it's not in a positive

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:49.320
<v Speaker 1>light about their football team. Jerry's the ultimate optimist, but

0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:51.520
<v Speaker 1>he's out here saying, hey, man, these guys runs wrong.

0:35:51.520 --> 0:35:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I think kind of. They basically say they let that down.

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:56.640
<v Speaker 1>That's what he's saying, Mikey here, let that down. So

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's the Maybe that's the Jedi mind trick. They

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:02.920
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and get it lit up here and FedEx

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:06.000
<v Speaker 1>field on. I don't know, but I think you think

0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:08.799
<v Speaker 1>these receivers. You think these receivers are over there, like, man,

0:36:08.840 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to get us up out of here. Man,

0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:14.560
<v Speaker 1>what we're gonna do? Man? Hey, look man, if I'm

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Michael Gallup, I'm worried. I'm worried about it. Um it's okay.

0:36:20.200 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 1>You want to get your wife on the show here

0:36:21.960 --> 0:36:27.839
<v Speaker 1>a church? Does that? That me? That's not me? That's you, man, Yeah,

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:31.360
<v Speaker 1>that's you. That's you in the background. Oh we're good now.

0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe I thought that was you? Was you over there?

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what's going on? I'm a I'm all alone, man,

0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 1>you don't won't got the whole family, but I'm all alone.

0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:44.239
<v Speaker 1>See me all right? I was like, hold up, man,

0:36:44.280 --> 0:36:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I know they're me over here tripping CD mmmm blameing

0:36:53.320 --> 0:36:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Dallas cowboyd dot com boy you go, okay, I thought

0:36:56.440 --> 0:36:58.120
<v Speaker 1>it was you knew it for sure. I'm like, oh,

0:36:58.719 --> 0:37:01.360
<v Speaker 1>over throwing his other story. He's the stuff Chris, you

0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:03.560
<v Speaker 1>out here like these cowboy receivers like Jerry saying, how

0:37:03.560 --> 0:37:10.120
<v Speaker 1>are you dropping? Just dropping the ball man. So so

0:37:10.360 --> 0:37:14.279
<v Speaker 1>here's here's something that that I do wonder about, is

0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:17.880
<v Speaker 1>how healthy is Dak Prescott because he came off the

0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:20.800
<v Speaker 1>calf injury and we have not seen him play like

0:37:20.960 --> 0:37:23.680
<v Speaker 1>he did before the calf injury. Could he be compensating

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:26.120
<v Speaker 1>at all? Is it still hurting? You ask him and

0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:28.839
<v Speaker 1>he says he's all good. But still at the end

0:37:28.880 --> 0:37:32.000
<v Speaker 1>of the day, I do wonder because he's not the

0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:35.600
<v Speaker 1>guy he was before he got hurt. You do you

0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:39.680
<v Speaker 1>think it has more to do with his calf injury

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:43.799
<v Speaker 1>or do you think it's this offense being more predictable,

0:37:44.040 --> 0:37:46.520
<v Speaker 1>or like this offense not being as balanced of attack

0:37:47.000 --> 0:37:49.759
<v Speaker 1>as it has been earlier in the season. Either way,

0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:51.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm interested to know that because, like you said,

0:37:52.120 --> 0:37:54.399
<v Speaker 1>he's ever since that calf injury, ever since he's went

0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 1>out with that calf, he's come back, he's just been

0:37:56.719 --> 0:37:58.640
<v Speaker 1>a little shaky. I don't know if it's been off

0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:02.840
<v Speaker 1>with the throws, just that connection, that timing with these receivers.

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:04.840
<v Speaker 1>We hadn't seen like it, like it was at the

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:07.399
<v Speaker 1>beginning or before he got his calf injury. So I'm

0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:09.080
<v Speaker 1>not sure. I don't know if it's the injury that

0:38:09.239 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of threw his game off, or it's just kind

0:38:11.239 --> 0:38:13.640
<v Speaker 1>of defenses picking up on what they're doing out there

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:16.719
<v Speaker 1>and his offense maybe more predictable. But I'm not quite

0:38:16.760 --> 0:38:20.720
<v Speaker 1>sure newly on that one. Okay, here's just just wild theory. Okay,

0:38:20.800 --> 0:38:23.959
<v Speaker 1>just just my wild theory. Um, could the calf also

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:26.239
<v Speaker 1>be connected to last year's century? You know? Could it

0:38:26.320 --> 0:38:28.719
<v Speaker 1>all be kind of a cumulative thing that's that's going

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:32.360
<v Speaker 1>on there. Obviously the offense hasn't been hitting. We're watching

0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Dak with some throws and making some throws that we

0:38:35.719 --> 0:38:40.279
<v Speaker 1>just don't normally see. He's off. So yeah, I mean

0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:42.759
<v Speaker 1>that's why I just look at the interception he threw,

0:38:43.000 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Look at the interception he threw against the Saints. I

0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:48.960
<v Speaker 1>mean that wasn't double coverage. It was underthrowing. Yeah, that's

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:52.840
<v Speaker 1>so that's why, that's why we have the questions that

0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:56.520
<v Speaker 1>we have, because things are off. Dak is not one

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent right, just like we can look at Ezekiel Elliott.

0:38:59.040 --> 0:39:01.360
<v Speaker 1>We know he's not healthy. Mike McCarthy spoke today and

0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:05.040
<v Speaker 1>he's like, well, you know what, um, guys have different injuries.

0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Everything's different. Like you can't compare what Dad was going

0:39:07.200 --> 0:39:09.120
<v Speaker 1>through with Zeke when they when Dad was hurt with

0:39:09.160 --> 0:39:10.879
<v Speaker 1>the calf and they decide to rest him versus Zeke

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:15.240
<v Speaker 1>and why they're not resting himself. Things are not on point.

0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:19.759
<v Speaker 1>And Church, I come back to you, you played this game.

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:24.000
<v Speaker 1>How much do they make sure they never tell us

0:39:24.360 --> 0:39:28.239
<v Speaker 1>the media and the fans because guys don't want to

0:39:28.360 --> 0:39:31.160
<v Speaker 1>have their business out there. They want to protect themselves.

0:39:31.680 --> 0:39:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh, they want to protect themselves always. I mean

0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:36.200
<v Speaker 1>it's hard enough for a player, at least. I know

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 1>for me it was to tell the training staff I

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:40.600
<v Speaker 1>was hurt. Now you know I wasn't in a I

0:39:40.800 --> 0:39:43.040
<v Speaker 1>wasn't it at the level of you know, the Zeke

0:39:43.160 --> 0:39:44.640
<v Speaker 1>or a dad to where you know I was the

0:39:44.800 --> 0:39:46.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, had to I had to be on the field,

0:39:46.840 --> 0:39:49.040
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't want to give you know, I didn't

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:51.800
<v Speaker 1>want to tell anybody I was injured lest I had to.

0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:54.280
<v Speaker 1>That's it was visible on the field that I was injured.

0:39:54.320 --> 0:39:57.359
<v Speaker 1>So definitely, these guys and these teams are definitely gonna

0:39:57.440 --> 0:39:59.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, protect against you know, letting everything out there.

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:02.120
<v Speaker 1>But I could for sure see a scenario where the

0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:04.880
<v Speaker 1>cash giving him a little just a little pain back there.

0:40:04.960 --> 0:40:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's why these passes have been the offer. He

0:40:06.880 --> 0:40:09.640
<v Speaker 1>hasn't had that connection. But wherever the case may be,

0:40:10.640 --> 0:40:12.399
<v Speaker 1>they gotta get it through. They gotta get something worked

0:40:12.400 --> 0:40:14.040
<v Speaker 1>out because we gotta get back on this role. We

0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:16.239
<v Speaker 1>gotta get these playoffs. So to me, you know, if

0:40:16.280 --> 0:40:18.480
<v Speaker 1>it's injured, if it's figuring out the offense of what

0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 1>they're going on, they definitely got to switch something up

0:40:20.560 --> 0:40:22.359
<v Speaker 1>because we need to get this offense back to where

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:25.160
<v Speaker 1>it was at the beginning of the season. Cowboys are

0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:27.799
<v Speaker 1>favorite in this one, so Vegas thinks that they could

0:40:27.840 --> 0:40:30.040
<v Speaker 1>win this football game. The Cowboys have played well on

0:40:30.120 --> 0:40:32.919
<v Speaker 1>the road. To Mary Cooper, who had a social game

0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:35.279
<v Speaker 1>coming back from COVID against the Saints. I expect him

0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:38.680
<v Speaker 1>to be on point and doing his doing out there.

0:40:38.719 --> 0:40:41.719
<v Speaker 1>So and that is what what's that seven seven to

0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:45.799
<v Speaker 1>one against the football team. I mean, it ain't no way.

0:40:45.880 --> 0:40:47.439
<v Speaker 1>I'll say it's a blowout. And I don't think there's

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:49.640
<v Speaker 1>a way that the football team gets this done, but

0:40:49.920 --> 0:40:51.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll see all right, you know what. We can talk

0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:55.719
<v Speaker 1>about that tomorrow. So make sure you're watching tonight. Only
