Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is the
Speaker 1: player's label broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at
Speaker 1: the Star. Now your hosts, Barry Church, Danny McCray and
Speaker 1: Newe Scrugs. Yo, here we are. It is the players louds.
Speaker 1: It's a different kind of players last today, but we're
Speaker 1: here and we're happy to do it. We're doing it
Speaker 1: virtually today. Had a little change of plan here because
Speaker 1: the COVID's been running around rapid. I am new Discuss
Speaker 1: joined by Barry Church and Danny McCray is out, gonna
Speaker 1: be out for a little second here. So the show
Speaker 1: must go on, though, it's got to go on. The
Speaker 1: famous words, the show must go on. Yes, So the
Speaker 1: Whington football teams hosting the Dallas Cowboys Sunday and landover Maryland. Barry,
Speaker 1: I want to go back to the first time you
Speaker 1: ever went to FedEx Field. What were you thinking it
Speaker 1: was gonna be? Versus when you showed up and you
Speaker 1: drove through there and you're like, it's here, man, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie to my first That was my very
Speaker 1: first regular season game in twenty ten and we went
Speaker 1: to Washington. We lost that game. I think that was
Speaker 1: when the Agelo Hall scoop and scored the fumble. They
Speaker 1: won like thirteen to three or something crazy like that.
Speaker 1: But that was my first time going to an NFL game, period.
Speaker 1: So then Washington was it was up there, and like
Speaker 1: you said, man, we're driving up. I'm thinking, you know,
Speaker 1: all stadiums in the NFL are glamorous, like so I
Speaker 1: went you know, small high school and Toledo. Of course
Speaker 1: that's a mid major, so the stadium is not gonna
Speaker 1: be crazy. So my man, I'm thinking, I've never been
Speaker 1: to an NFL game and I'm only driven past, you know,
Speaker 1: the Steelers stadium, and that stadium was pretty dope. So
Speaker 1: to me, I'm like, all right, man, this this is
Speaker 1: gonna be amazing. I can't wait to see you go
Speaker 1: through this tunnel and get to the locker room. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be so high tech. Man. We pulled up in
Speaker 1: their I was like what, And then we walked pack.
Speaker 1: We walked through the tunnel of the tunnel, crocks all
Speaker 1: over the tunnel. The locker rooms small and looked like
Speaker 1: it was built back in nineteen sixty five and they
Speaker 1: haven't done any reservations to it, so I was extremely disappointed.
Speaker 1: But the atmosphere was pretty cool. Man atmosphere was definitely
Speaker 1: pretty cool. That tradition, that rivalry is definitely alive in there.
Speaker 1: And for the most part, like we talked about the
Speaker 1: other day, it's all Cowboys fans. It's like it's like
Speaker 1: a home game away from you know, Dallas. So I
Speaker 1: loved going up to Washington. I got a great record
Speaker 1: against that team. So hopefully it continues on our Sunday.
Speaker 1: The thing that's weird is as you're driving through this
Speaker 1: town in Maryland and you pass RFK on the left
Speaker 1: where they used to play, where the place used to jump.
Speaker 1: So you pass the old stadium. Then you drive it
Speaker 1: through this neighborhood. You pass apartments and liquor stores and
Speaker 1: in these this is kind of shopping, this kind of
Speaker 1: shopping areas, and the next thing you know, you're here.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a whole bunch of landing. The stadium
Speaker 1: is there, and you're like, okay, yeah, so so what
Speaker 1: you were used to is all right, here's at and
Speaker 1: T Stadium. You know, this palatial place next to you know,
Speaker 1: another baseball diamond, and then you're passing the Steelers in
Speaker 1: your Hinsfield, which is right next to where the Pirates play.
Speaker 1: Those stadiums are right there together. And then you come
Speaker 1: to this and you're like, oh, okay, and then you
Speaker 1: realize how old it is when you go down. This
Speaker 1: is an old place, man. Man, it's it's old. It's
Speaker 1: real old, and it's real small. Like it's just like
Speaker 1: the locker rooms you know at at and T Stadium.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, you got a whole bedroom as
Speaker 1: your locker, but in there, it's like, man, it's literally
Speaker 1: like a cubby and everybody's so tighten. Like there's offenses
Speaker 1: on one side, then there's a wall, then there's a
Speaker 1: defense on the other. And the training room is right there,
Speaker 1: so I mean, it's just it's real compact. You're right
Speaker 1: next to the opening of the stadium, so if you're
Speaker 1: playing in there in this cold, they leave the doors
Speaker 1: open in the locker room, it's freezing. So I mean
Speaker 1: it's just all around. Man. They need to get up
Speaker 1: out of there, and newly they need to get up
Speaker 1: out of that stadium. But okay, I don't see it
Speaker 1: coming anytime soon. Well, ideally from from the things you
Speaker 1: keep reading in the Washington Post is Dan Snyder wants
Speaker 1: to go to RFK. He'd like to get something built there,
Speaker 1: but that apparently is not happening. And then of course
Speaker 1: they've talked about going in Virginia someplace. So I'll say this,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to find public money and votes
Speaker 1: for that stadium. Who's gonna want to vote for Daniel Sardy.
Speaker 1: He's an unpopular man. He's taken the team, which which
Speaker 1: had a long list of season ticket holders over ten
Speaker 1: thousand plus, and he's whittled that damn to Now you
Speaker 1: roll up in there, you know it's a home game
Speaker 1: for the other team. Cheeseheads came up in there, took
Speaker 1: over last year. Colts fans were up in there. So
Speaker 1: so he's he's really done a lot of damage. And
Speaker 1: these votes are hard. I remember when Denver was trying
Speaker 1: to get the votes for their stadium. They've won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and it barely passed. I remember when they
Speaker 1: were trying to get Cowboys stadium build here. Jerry had
Speaker 1: to work real hard and had bill parcels out there.
Speaker 1: I mean, they were out here trying to convince people
Speaker 1: they give us your vote, so you'll give us public
Speaker 1: money for this stadium. So I don't know where Daniel
Speaker 1: Snyder is going to be able to go get it.
Speaker 1: And then you look at all the messages that are
Speaker 1: going on at his organization, inside the organization, and they're
Speaker 1: not winning, so I should say they're not winning championships
Speaker 1: anymore like they used to. So so we'll see. But
Speaker 1: they have won four straight football games. They are two
Speaker 1: games behind the Cowboys, so this game is going to
Speaker 1: be important. Montest Sweat, one of their pass rushers is
Speaker 1: not going to be playing in this contest. We already
Speaker 1: know Chase Young, who they took in the draft last year,
Speaker 1: number two overall. He's out for the season, and they're
Speaker 1: tied in Logan Thomas, who has had some pretty nice
Speaker 1: games against the Cowboys past a couple of years. He
Speaker 1: will not play in this football game. So the Boys
Speaker 1: is they're getting some guys back Washington, losing some guys here. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right about that. They lost some important pieces, definitely
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas. You know, he's missed the majority of this
Speaker 1: season and then he comes back these last couple of games.
Speaker 1: He plays well against the Raiders and then boom, he
Speaker 1: takes that injury right there the last victor or the
Speaker 1: last time they played. So to me, that's a huge
Speaker 1: loss because that was kind of like their security blaming.
Speaker 1: That was Heinekes like security blaming. When everything breaks down,
Speaker 1: he's looking for Logan Thomas. So without him being there,
Speaker 1: I think they still have Ricky Sills Junior. I think
Speaker 1: he's still there as they're tight end. He's another one
Speaker 1: of those wide receivers slash tight end type guys, so
Speaker 1: we should be able to contain him. But even with
Speaker 1: all those injuries, we know on the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, Sweat, who's been out for the majority of
Speaker 1: the year as well, will miss again because of COVID.
Speaker 1: But with all those injuries, they still on the offensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball, they still have those cowboy killers.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about Gibson and I'm talking about Scary
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin. I mean those two guys alone they do
Speaker 1: some damage to the Dallas Cowboys last time they met up,
Speaker 1: I believe in Washington, Gibson went off running the football
Speaker 1: and we know what Scary Terry could do on the outside.
Speaker 1: And it's like we go through this every single time
Speaker 1: we play a guy in the division that just does
Speaker 1: well gets Dallas. Look at with the Raiders, the Shan Jackson,
Speaker 1: he came back. He was a cowboy killer. Nobody knew
Speaker 1: anything about this guy this season. He wasn't doing anything,
Speaker 1: and then boom, he plays against us and goes off.
Speaker 1: So those two guys have the capabilities to be in
Speaker 1: game records. So it makes me a little bit nervous.
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, knew I think the Boys got
Speaker 1: this handle. I look at Neville Gallamore coming back. I
Speaker 1: just cannot emphasize that enough of how much I'm expecting
Speaker 1: him to be the player I saw a training camp
Speaker 1: who was an improved football player, who was the best
Speaker 1: interior defensive lineman they had. And when I go back
Speaker 1: to camp and guys that I saw improvements from, Terrence
Speaker 1: Steele was one of the guys that we saw improvement from,
Speaker 1: improvements from. We saw Cdelad making incredible plays. We saw
Speaker 1: Sean mckewen the tight end playing out of football. We
Speaker 1: saw a lot of guys in that second year with
Speaker 1: a full camp that we're getting better. So I'm expecting
Speaker 1: Nevill Gallimore to get out there to help fortify the
Speaker 1: defensive line to help stop the run. Tristan Hill is
Speaker 1: coming back off the suspension to go along with, Hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: don't punch nobody. How about that, you know, at least
Speaker 1: not not after the game, but but hope hopefully losing
Speaker 1: that paycheck will get him in the right frame of month.
Speaker 1: And and then also Osagi Zua. So if you get
Speaker 1: some more beef up front going on with Carlos Watkins,
Speaker 1: get some more beef up front, stop that run. Then
Speaker 1: you get your defensive ends back to Tank Lawrence and
Speaker 1: Rady Gregory. We know Tank Lawrence is very good at
Speaker 1: helping to stop the run as well. I like what
Speaker 1: the Cowboys from a defensive standpoint they're gonna be able
Speaker 1: to bring. And then now you've got Michael Parsons with
Speaker 1: the ability to line him up in different pressure points.
Speaker 1: So I'm expecting the Cowboys and Dan Quinn to go
Speaker 1: out and fit, you know, figure out how do you
Speaker 1: stop the run? First, stop Gibson and then it's chart
Speaker 1: as far as Terry McLaurin goes, okay, hey Treyvon, go
Speaker 1: get it, go, get you know, do what you did
Speaker 1: to Justin Jefferson and other football players out there, and
Speaker 1: if Taylor Heneke wants to go ahead and throw digs
Speaker 1: his way to try and put some pressure out there
Speaker 1: for him, if I the Cowboys that welcome it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm with you on that. And you gotta be thinking, man,
Speaker 1: with these names you were throwing out along the defensive line,
Speaker 1: I mean, when's the last time they were this deep
Speaker 1: along that that that unit. I mean you didn't even
Speaker 1: talk about Basham or Daurance Armstrong. I mean you got
Speaker 1: Carlo's Watkin's returning, you know, interceptions for touchdowns we get
Speaker 1: you know, he'll returning like all those guys you just mentioned.
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking to myself, like, man, I don't even
Speaker 1: know when the last time we had a defensive line
Speaker 1: that was this deep to where you could literally rotate
Speaker 1: maybe three separate units and still have high productivity like that.
Speaker 1: To me, it just blew my mind. Like I'm just
Speaker 1: sat there and thing like, Man, this team this defensively,
Speaker 1: and if they all get healthy and remain healthy, I mean,
Speaker 1: this defense can be scary in the long run. I
Speaker 1: don't want to sound like a Homer. I don't want
Speaker 1: to do that. I try to make sure when I
Speaker 1: come here on the players lounge about to you by
Speaker 1: hotels dot Com that I tell it like it is.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the Cowboys having played three games
Speaker 1: in twelve days, battling some injuries, battling some COVID and
Speaker 1: they did not look their best as they lost two
Speaker 1: of the three in that stretch. And know the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints win wasn't some great win like they went
Speaker 1: out there and beat Atlanta. They had to struggle, they
Speaker 1: had to earn the win. But I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: being a homer when I tell you the Cowboys are
Speaker 1: now getting ready to get some reinforcements back that can
Speaker 1: improve this football team for a stretch run into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and they can improve themselves. You can do this, I mean,
Speaker 1: and I say this looking back at Tampa Bay last
Speaker 1: year seven and five at one point, and people look
Speaker 1: at the Buccaneers saying, hey man, we don't know if
Speaker 1: this thing is really working out with Bruce Arians and
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. We don't know. And we saw them get
Speaker 1: it together. You saw a guy like Vita Vea come back.
Speaker 1: You can get better. And in fact, we saw Tampa
Speaker 1: struggling with that secondary Barry. Remember the week one Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott was torturing that secondary up there. They're getting guys,
Speaker 1: They're getting guys back, and you're starting to see them
Speaker 1: play a better brand of football. So, if we are
Speaker 1: being fair and we talk about what the Cowboys are
Speaker 1: getting back and the ability to put out a lineup,
Speaker 1: they yet to have the lineup that they penciled down,
Speaker 1: the lineup that they thought they had in training camp.
Speaker 1: They haven't had an opportunity to roll those guys out.
Speaker 1: This could be in on Sunday and at the most
Speaker 1: important time against the team that is behind you. You
Speaker 1: go ahead and win this game. Man, You got three
Speaker 1: up on him and you got four to play. Could
Speaker 1: be pretty good. You're right about that, And I'm sure
Speaker 1: after we take this break, I got a question to
Speaker 1: ask you when we get back with all that, with
Speaker 1: all that along and defensive line, do you keep Parsons
Speaker 1: at the linebacker or do you still do what he
Speaker 1: does best? And that's after the quarter. This we will
Speaker 1: discuss after we take this break. Barry Church, Knwi Scruggs,

Speaker 1: Toledo Rocket himself. He is Barry Church. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he's gonna head down to the Bahamas Bowl and
Speaker 1: not to support the Rockets, but if you're going to
Speaker 1: go to a bowl game, that would be a very
Speaker 1: good one to go to, my man, a very good one.
Speaker 1: So I would love to join the Toledo Rockets down there.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Coach Candle a shout see if he
Speaker 1: can hook something up for your boy to get me
Speaker 1: down in the Bahamas and lot Nui. I didn't know,
Speaker 1: but the Rockets were seven and five this year. You know,
Speaker 1: I thought we barely made it Bowl eligible wise, but hey,
Speaker 1: if we were a game above it seven to five. Man,
Speaker 1: here's one thing that I will say for the Mac teams.
Speaker 1: They're lucky because most of the bowl games they get
Speaker 1: to go to are are outside the Midwest most of
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, man, yeah, I feel sorry for some
Speaker 1: of these Texas teams. Man, you sit up here, you
Speaker 1: get to go to bowl game, and they go roll
Speaker 1: you right down the road, like what waiting We're going
Speaker 1: to San Antonio. We're going to prison real quick. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I would be hot like he man, all
Speaker 1: year long, you're waiting on this nice bowl game and
Speaker 1: they gonna send you and you're staying in the state
Speaker 1: of Texas, you know, not even get to go to
Speaker 1: New Orleans, you know, I mean you do not want
Speaker 1: you that. That would frustrate outside of the Cotton Bowl,
Speaker 1: because the Cotton Bowl is a great game, and that's
Speaker 1: that's one of the big that's one of the big bowls.
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, if you're just a Texas team like
Speaker 1: UT San Antonio, Man, you want to go to California,
Speaker 1: you want to go somewhere, and then you look up
Speaker 1: and see, man, Toledo gets to go to the Bahamas Bowl,
Speaker 1: I'd be swoven, you a lying, I'd be solid exact
Speaker 1: Like if I'm not in the College Football Playoff, Like
Speaker 1: if I'm not one of the four teams in there,
Speaker 1: and I gotta do one of these other bowls. Take
Speaker 1: me to the Mohamma's Bowl. They'd be somewhere where I can,
Speaker 1: you know, enjoy the week out there. You know. Football, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna practice a little bit, but outside of football,
Speaker 1: we need to lay on the beach somewhere and hang out.
Speaker 1: Not much rather do that than, like you said, go
Speaker 1: ahead and go right down the street, you know, to
Speaker 1: the Alamo Bowl or somewhere like that. Man. I it's
Speaker 1: just it's just a bad straw right there, man, bad draw. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: then I feel sorry for um, for SMU. Man, they
Speaker 1: got to go to Boston. They're going to the Fenway Bowl,
Speaker 1: so they're playing in Fenway Park. It's gonna be cold, cold,
Speaker 1: so hey, you get the leave Texas, but you're going
Speaker 1: up to Boston. Man, it's gonna be cold up in here.
Speaker 1: So yes, yes, your your Toledo Rockets have it really good.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you're not in the Sugar Bowl,
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl, Bahama's Bowl, is
Speaker 1: a heck of a consolation. Man. Now that you can
Speaker 1: go recruit with you're out there, man, you can recruit
Speaker 1: with that without a doubt. And also you can you
Speaker 1: bring your clubs do a little golfing down there. So, hey, Toledo,
Speaker 1: if you're listening, man, hook your boy up, hooky boy up. Man,
Speaker 1: I'll be on the sound. I'll do whatever whatever you need,
Speaker 1: quality control, whatever you need. I'm there a man. Just
Speaker 1: you know, send a ticket for your boy. Meanwhile, Danny's
Speaker 1: LSU Tigers are gonna go take on k State in
Speaker 1: Houston at the Texas Bowl. I don't think I don't
Speaker 1: think that's what the LSU kids thought was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: It's the start of the year. They're gonna go just
Speaker 1: right down the road to go a couple of hours
Speaker 1: out of Houston for a bowl game. But yeah, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a family, family and friends bowl right there
Speaker 1: where all you see in the stands is just you know, family,
Speaker 1: the immediate family, and some friends. Man. That's that's all
Speaker 1: that's gonna be right there. Now, all right, let's dive
Speaker 1: back into some cowboy defensive questions as they get ready
Speaker 1: to face Washington in their key game on Sunday. And look,
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of Michael Parsons. I think you
Speaker 1: and I were both there at first just wondering Okay,
Speaker 1: hey man, you drive have to had the corner, but
Speaker 1: you took the next best defensive player that was one
Speaker 1: of the top three guys we kind of focused on
Speaker 1: were Sir Patrick Surtan of Alabama, jac Horne, South Carolina,
Speaker 1: and then it was Michael Parsons. But we were all
Speaker 1: about a defensive player. Our guy, Danny McCrae was all
Speaker 1: about offensive tackle. So Mica has turned out to be
Speaker 1: a sensational pick at twelve. He is going to win
Speaker 1: the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Now with Tank
Speaker 1: Lawrence coming back at one defensive end spot Randy Gregory
Speaker 1: at the other, I say you put him back at linebacker.
Speaker 1: But the beauty of what dan Quinn is going to
Speaker 1: be able to do is he'll be able to dial
Speaker 1: up pressure any kind of way he wants. So he
Speaker 1: can have him play some bass, he can have him
Speaker 1: line up over the center. I mean, he can bring
Speaker 1: him so many different places, man, that I just think,
Speaker 1: I think we're about to see Michael Parsons go next
Speaker 1: level if we see and think we can get Randy
Speaker 1: Gregory playing like he had before he got injured, Tank
Speaker 1: Lawrence doing what he's been able to do when healthy
Speaker 1: in his career, and Neville Gallimor taking another step in
Speaker 1: his second year. I think this can free up Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons and do some damage. Yeah, you're right about that, man.
Speaker 1: I'm agreeing with which because this will be the first
Speaker 1: time really that dan Quinn will be able to use
Speaker 1: him as like a defensive weapon, you know, a physician list,
Speaker 1: just defensive weapon out there, because you got the guys
Speaker 1: on the outside. Let's just say tank. You know he's
Speaker 1: coming back strong. He came back in that Saints game
Speaker 1: and played pretty well at nine PM. Let's say that
Speaker 1: Gregory does the same thing when he comes back. You
Speaker 1: have your two bookends on the outside. So you could,
Speaker 1: like you said, you can play with Michael Parsons alignment.
Speaker 1: You can blitz him up the center, you can have
Speaker 1: him attack the wink link of the offensive line. But
Speaker 1: you could have him everywhere and pretty much use him
Speaker 1: as a defensive weapon. I mean, when we first started
Speaker 1: talking about this guy, I thought, all right, you know
Speaker 1: he's a beast, but I think he needs to stay
Speaker 1: at linebacker. You know, he can he can affect the
Speaker 1: game more that way. You know, he doesn't have to
Speaker 1: come off the field. Because at the defensive lineman you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to rotate. But he proved me wrong. Man,
Speaker 1: when he got down to that defensive line, he was
Speaker 1: still able to give you fifty to sixty snaps and
Speaker 1: he was causing havoc for every offensive line that was
Speaker 1: out there, whether it was a tackle or there was
Speaker 1: he moved them inside playing guard. So now that we're
Speaker 1: so deep at the defensive line, I think you can
Speaker 1: truly use him as a weapon no matter what the situation.
Speaker 1: You can put them back in the past coverage if
Speaker 1: you want to attack it, you can have push d
Speaker 1: Law on the inside and have Parsons on the outside
Speaker 1: as an end. You have so many capabilities of using
Speaker 1: this guy and his talent and his abilities. I mean,
Speaker 1: it could be a scary sight. It could be a
Speaker 1: scary sight if it all works out. But to me,
Speaker 1: Gregory has to come back like he was before he
Speaker 1: was injured, because he was on a roll, he was
Speaker 1: on a tear. If he can do that, then man,
Speaker 1: the sky's limit for this defense and what they can
Speaker 1: do with parsons. And then the question you have to
Speaker 1: ask is, Okay, who do you double team? I mean literally,
Speaker 1: who do you double team, where do you go? And
Speaker 1: so I think dan Quinn is going to be able
Speaker 1: to just get in getting you talk about getting in
Speaker 1: your bag, He'll be able to get in his bag
Speaker 1: and do some different things. If everyone is as we
Speaker 1: talked about, is able to play at the level that
Speaker 1: we believe they can on this defense, and now you're
Speaker 1: talking about trying to get this unit to gel for
Speaker 1: their last five games. Here, we could be talking about
Speaker 1: a different type of Cowboys team. I was chatting with
Speaker 1: Rick Goslin and he was talking about New England. He says, Hey,
Speaker 1: that's not the same team that the Cowboys faced. He said,
Speaker 1: that's a different team now, which means you know what
Speaker 1: they were able to grow and you coach them up.
Speaker 1: I look at that same standpoint for what I think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can do and be. This defensive unit can
Speaker 1: get better, they can grow, and you could go into
Speaker 1: the playoffs talking about a different type of football team.
Speaker 1: Offensive side, we got some other questions, but right now, defensively,
Speaker 1: I like what they could possibly do, and not only
Speaker 1: a different team, but a healthy team, Like if they're
Speaker 1: able to get back all these reinforcements and they're able
Speaker 1: to stay healthy for this playoff run. I mean, you're
Speaker 1: looking at a dangerous squad. I mean the last time
Speaker 1: they were all together as one, like as a defense,
Speaker 1: everybody was healthy, was Week one, you know, against Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: and we said all that game went out, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know it. It was a high scoring affair, but
Speaker 1: the defense was able to get four takeaways as well.
Speaker 1: So to me, this is just this team to start
Speaker 1: to come together. They're starting to gel as a unit.
Speaker 1: Everybody's kind of knowing the strengths and weaknesses of what
Speaker 1: they're asked and we're being asked to do out there,
Speaker 1: and they're playing at a high level. I mean it's
Speaker 1: not only the defensive line. You look at the second level.
Speaker 1: Vander esh you know, he might not stand out as much,
Speaker 1: but he's not he's not giving up players or busting
Speaker 1: coverages like he has in the pasts. And then you
Speaker 1: look in the secondary. I think Anthony Brown. You know,
Speaker 1: we get on him a lot on the show earlier
Speaker 1: in the season, but this guy has had an extremely
Speaker 1: solid season. Outside of two games, you know, the one
Speaker 1: game against the Raiders and then the Tampa Bay game,
Speaker 1: He's played extremely good, a solid corner on the outside
Speaker 1: opposite of trait or digs on the other side. We
Speaker 1: know all know how he's playing. So to me, this
Speaker 1: defense is gelling. It's getting healthier and it could be
Speaker 1: scary going come playoff time. If these guys can all gel,
Speaker 1: now that's an optimal word. If they can all gel. Folks,
Speaker 1: If it doesn't happen this Sunday, do not panic. Okay,
Speaker 1: it may take some time to get everything, all the
Speaker 1: pieces together and Barry, this is where you can talk
Speaker 1: to to people. Being a former safety in the league,
Speaker 1: sometimes you've got a thought of what you think it
Speaker 1: could be and it may take you a little bit
Speaker 1: to get there. I present to you the New England
Speaker 1: Patriots took them a little bit to get to that
Speaker 1: vision of what Bill Belichick's wanted on both sides of
Speaker 1: the football, but they got there with five games to go.
Speaker 1: I believe the Cowboys can be able to get there.
Speaker 1: This is a key game that you like to go
Speaker 1: ahead and get in the bag because to beat Washington
Speaker 1: at their place, knowing that you get them the day
Speaker 1: after Christmas at your place, this can be a big
Speaker 1: help in terms of being able to wrap up this
Speaker 1: division and try to tinker with a couple of things
Speaker 1: if you want to, and don't forget you've got Arizona
Speaker 1: after you face walk the Washington football team at Jerry World.
Speaker 1: So I like what I'm seeing on the defensive side
Speaker 1: of things. Offensively, we got issues, but right now the
Speaker 1: defense maybe the side of the football that can kind
Speaker 1: of help carry the Cowboys right now. Yeah, well i'd
Speaker 1: have done. I think, you know, they can help carry
Speaker 1: it or do their job to get just team to
Speaker 1: where it needs to be. Um, like you said, we
Speaker 1: got them because we got Washington to a two out
Speaker 1: of the next three games. And to me, if we
Speaker 1: wrap this up in Washington this weekend, I think it's
Speaker 1: done for the division. I think that you know, that
Speaker 1: puts a three game lead between the Cowboys and the
Speaker 1: next closest you know, guy, or next closest team in
Speaker 1: the NFC East. So I think it pretty much gives
Speaker 1: us the leeway to pretty much solidify that playoff position
Speaker 1: and get that division lead or that division crown. So
Speaker 1: this is definitely a huge game. And like you mentioned this,
Speaker 1: this defense, they're gonna they have to take some time
Speaker 1: to jail. It's not just gonna happen overnight. I mean,
Speaker 1: you got pieces in here that are ultra talented but
Speaker 1: had yet to really play together as a whole all season.
Speaker 1: I mean, de Barcus Lawrence came back last week. He
Speaker 1: showed that he can he's been He's back to where
Speaker 1: he used to be, and he can affect the quarterback
Speaker 1: and affect the run game. But it's still gonna take
Speaker 1: a little bit of time for all these pieces to
Speaker 1: jail and see where they fit perfectly. So I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see what they do on third downs. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be a huge key for me to see how they're
Speaker 1: gonna play this package or they're gonna make it kind
Speaker 1: of like just a fast Nascar type package where you
Speaker 1: kick the loll in and you put Parcels on the
Speaker 1: edge with Gregory and then maybe a Neville Gallimore or
Speaker 1: Thorn's Armstrong at the other tackle position. So I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see what they do on third down. But this
Speaker 1: is definitely a huge game and these guys definitely need
Speaker 1: to bring an a game and hopefully this defense can continue.
Speaker 1: It's a high level of play. So Barry, what is
Speaker 1: the mindset for a football team sitting here with this
Speaker 1: kind of league? Knowing if you go to Washington, you
Speaker 1: may be able to go ahead and soak up this
Speaker 1: division right now. But on the flip side, if you
Speaker 1: don't handle your business, you've now given them life. So
Speaker 1: you gotta be you gotta be extremely locked in. You
Speaker 1: gotta be extremely locked in, and I think this team is.
Speaker 1: I mean, they know the opportunity they have right now
Speaker 1: to pretty much take a commanding lead in this division
Speaker 1: and pretty much lock it up. So I think Dak
Speaker 1: and the leaders on this team they won't let this.
Speaker 1: They won't let the guys wander. They won't they won't
Speaker 1: let a Denver Broncos type situation happen again. And I
Speaker 1: think that good for us that it already is out
Speaker 1: of our system. We saw what happened in Denver. I
Speaker 1: don't think this team will let that happen again. So
Speaker 1: they're gonna be extremely locked in now, is it? You
Speaker 1: know Washington gonna come or come with their A game
Speaker 1: and they might you know, beat this team. Yes, that
Speaker 1: is a that is a possibility, but overall, I don't
Speaker 1: think it'll be because the team's not focused or not
Speaker 1: ready to play. I think they know what's on the
Speaker 1: on task right here now that they know what the
Speaker 1: goal is, so hopefully they come to Washington ready to play.

Speaker 1: brought to you by Hotels dot Com, new He Scrugs
Speaker 1: and Barry Church. Danny McCrae with the day off here
Speaker 1: all right, so so Church. Jerry Jones does a show
Speaker 1: every Tuesday on one to five, three of the Fan.
Speaker 1: I used to do that show, so I understand those questions.
Speaker 1: You want to get into Jerry and seeing where he's at.
Speaker 1: So Sean and r J, who are the hosts. They
Speaker 1: asked Jerry about Dak, you know, is he healthy? And
Speaker 1: you know, because because they don't think that Dak has
Speaker 1: been the same since coming back of the calf injury.
Speaker 1: And that's a fair that's a fair assessment. That's a
Speaker 1: fair from from you know, not being involved, you know,
Speaker 1: with the team, you can look from and say, hey,
Speaker 1: look it's been different. And so Jerry proceeded to say that,
Speaker 1: all right, the receivers if kind of let them down, yeah,
Speaker 1: not kind of where they needed to be at some
Speaker 1: times here and some people thought it was a shot.
Speaker 1: But one thing Jerry didn't say, which I definitely believe
Speaker 1: he was. He would have been a legitimately fined to
Speaker 1: save us. Hey man, we have way too many drops, Okay,
Speaker 1: way too many drops. And Noah Browns, Cedric Wilson, especially
Speaker 1: in Kansas City just didn't have the kind of football
Speaker 1: game that they needed to have. Okay, there was their
Speaker 1: time to go ahead and and and be there. They weren't.
Speaker 1: They just simply weren't. So it was a problem because
Speaker 1: you had cooper out with COVID and then you had
Speaker 1: um Um, you had cdlam who left the game with
Speaker 1: the concussion. Those guys didn't not pick up slack. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and get you right about that. Man, I don't know
Speaker 1: how it would take this. You know, if I was
Speaker 1: a you know, if I was a receiver, but I
Speaker 1: was in that receiving room, I don't know how it
Speaker 1: would take this because he's kind of he's kind of
Speaker 1: putting it on them. He's kind of putting the saying, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of girls throws they you know,
Speaker 1: they weren't in it. They weren't overthrows or under throws.
Speaker 1: You know, the receivers got to help them out. They
Speaker 1: got to be able to catch the balls. And you know,
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't know how I would feel
Speaker 1: about that because the room, like you said, there's been
Speaker 1: a lot of drops. You know, I understand that the
Speaker 1: A team really wasn't in there. It wasn't you know,
Speaker 1: like the whole the whole time. It wasn't you know,
Speaker 1: a CD gallop and cooped together. You know, we had
Speaker 1: some said will since we had some Noah Browns in there,
Speaker 1: and occasionally a Malik Turner as well, and so it
Speaker 1: wasn't the A team that was in there. But there
Speaker 1: was a lot of drops. There was a lot of
Speaker 1: drops out there, and for him to kind of say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, the receiver's gotta help out. They gotta
Speaker 1: do something better is it's kind of a shot. It's
Speaker 1: definitely kind of a shot. And if I'm a receiver,
Speaker 1: I'm taking it that way. But there's not much you
Speaker 1: can really do. You just gotta go out there and
Speaker 1: step up, step your game up, and when a ball
Speaker 1: strow on your way, you gotta catch it. Make plays. Hey, look,
Speaker 1: you're talking about several guys who are going to be
Speaker 1: free agents. So if Jerry said it and you're trying
Speaker 1: to get your bag, I'd be listening to it because
Speaker 1: you know who's going to decide your fate here with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Jerry Jones. Okay, so Jerry to me, and
Speaker 1: I look at Jerry that told you how he feels.
Speaker 1: A man, I don't think you're helping my forty million
Speaker 1: dollars quarterback out. Even if the forty million dollars quarterback
Speaker 1: has been off target. Bottom line is perception, perceptions reality,
Speaker 1: So the man who writes the checks has a perception
Speaker 1: of what's going on right now. So you've got Amari Cooper.
Speaker 1: Think of it this way. The only safe person is
Speaker 1: cde E Lamb. He's still under his rookie contract. But
Speaker 1: the MARII Cooper, all of the guarantees are coming, so
Speaker 1: if they want to move on from him, they can
Speaker 1: with no issue. And E. Centric Wilson's FREEC Michael Gallants
Speaker 1: a free agent, and and Noah Brown should be. I
Speaker 1: think he may be a free agent as well. So
Speaker 1: there's guys who are to be thinking about, hey, I
Speaker 1: need to be there. They definitely should think because you know,
Speaker 1: if Jerry's if Jerry's saying I'm thinking that, you know,
Speaker 1: somebody told him, man, so they had to be somewhere
Speaker 1: in the scouting department or the coaches. Somebody told him like, man, yeah,
Speaker 1: these receivers need to step it up. You know, they
Speaker 1: ain't helping press scout up out a lot out there,
Speaker 1: and they need to step it up. So you know,
Speaker 1: it's not only Jerry feeling that way. So if I'm
Speaker 1: a receiver. Like you said, man, you gotta think man.
Speaker 1: So not only is Jerry thinking, and probably the money
Speaker 1: man is thinking that scouting department and maybe even these coaches.
Speaker 1: So if I'm trying to get paid, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get that bag. If I'm trying to be with these
Speaker 1: cowboys long term, gotta step the game up, man, especially
Speaker 1: in these primetime games coming up, got these division games
Speaker 1: coming up. Ain't a better way to make money. You
Speaker 1: gotta step it up and make these plays. So I'm
Speaker 1: a receiver definitely listening, got with a keen ear saying,
Speaker 1: all right, this is what Jerry's saying. All Right, I
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta get back ground on. I gotta get
Speaker 1: back to work. So but I'm sure to listen. They
Speaker 1: got enough playmakers over there. So you're you've been a
Speaker 1: player in the league, and you know how players are
Speaker 1: sensitive to what they hear. If Jerry is going to
Speaker 1: go ahead and put this out on his radio show,
Speaker 1: imagine what he's saying behind the scenes. Most times people
Speaker 1: guard what they say if it's not in a positive
Speaker 1: light about their football team. Jerry's the ultimate optimist, but
Speaker 1: he's out here saying, hey, man, these guys runs wrong.
Speaker 1: I think kind of. They basically say they let that down.
Speaker 1: That's what he's saying, Mikey here, let that down. So
Speaker 1: maybe that's the Maybe that's the Jedi mind trick. They
Speaker 1: go ahead and get it lit up here and FedEx
Speaker 1: field on. I don't know, but I think you think
Speaker 1: these receivers. You think these receivers are over there, like, man,
Speaker 1: they're trying to get us up out of here. Man,
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do? Man? Hey, look man, if I'm
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup, I'm worried. I'm worried about it. Um it's okay.
Speaker 1: You want to get your wife on the show here
Speaker 1: a church? Does that? That me? That's not me? That's you, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's you. That's you in the background. Oh we're good now.
Speaker 1: I believe I thought that was you? Was you over there?
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's going on? I'm a I'm all alone, man,
Speaker 1: you don't won't got the whole family, but I'm all alone.
Speaker 1: See me all right? I was like, hold up, man,
Speaker 1: I know they're me over here tripping CD mmmm blameing
Speaker 1: Dallas cowboyd dot com boy you go, okay, I thought
Speaker 1: it was you knew it for sure. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: over throwing his other story. He's the stuff Chris, you
Speaker 1: out here like these cowboy receivers like Jerry saying, how
Speaker 1: are you dropping? Just dropping the ball man. So so
Speaker 1: here's here's something that that I do wonder about, is
Speaker 1: how healthy is Dak Prescott because he came off the
Speaker 1: calf injury and we have not seen him play like
Speaker 1: he did before the calf injury. Could he be compensating
Speaker 1: at all? Is it still hurting? You ask him and
Speaker 1: he says he's all good. But still at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I do wonder because he's not the
Speaker 1: guy he was before he got hurt. You do you
Speaker 1: think it has more to do with his calf injury
Speaker 1: or do you think it's this offense being more predictable,
Speaker 1: or like this offense not being as balanced of attack
Speaker 1: as it has been earlier in the season. Either way,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm interested to know that because, like you said,
Speaker 1: he's ever since that calf injury, ever since he's went
Speaker 1: out with that calf, he's come back, he's just been
Speaker 1: a little shaky. I don't know if it's been off
Speaker 1: with the throws, just that connection, that timing with these receivers.
Speaker 1: We hadn't seen like it, like it was at the
Speaker 1: beginning or before he got his calf injury. So I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. I don't know if it's the injury that
Speaker 1: kind of threw his game off, or it's just kind
Speaker 1: of defenses picking up on what they're doing out there
Speaker 1: and his offense maybe more predictable. But I'm not quite
Speaker 1: sure newly on that one. Okay, here's just just wild theory. Okay,
Speaker 1: just just my wild theory. Um, could the calf also
Speaker 1: be connected to last year's century? You know? Could it
Speaker 1: all be kind of a cumulative thing that's that's going
Speaker 1: on there. Obviously the offense hasn't been hitting. We're watching
Speaker 1: Dak with some throws and making some throws that we
Speaker 1: just don't normally see. He's off. So yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's why I just look at the interception he threw,
Speaker 1: Look at the interception he threw against the Saints. I
Speaker 1: mean that wasn't double coverage. It was underthrowing. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: so that's why, that's why we have the questions that
Speaker 1: we have, because things are off. Dak is not one
Speaker 1: hundred percent right, just like we can look at Ezekiel Elliott.
Speaker 1: We know he's not healthy. Mike McCarthy spoke today and
Speaker 1: he's like, well, you know what, um, guys have different injuries.
Speaker 1: Everything's different. Like you can't compare what Dad was going
Speaker 1: through with Zeke when they when Dad was hurt with
Speaker 1: the calf and they decide to rest him versus Zeke
Speaker 1: and why they're not resting himself. Things are not on point.
Speaker 1: And Church, I come back to you, you played this game.
Speaker 1: How much do they make sure they never tell us
Speaker 1: the media and the fans because guys don't want to
Speaker 1: have their business out there. They want to protect themselves.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, they want to protect themselves always. I mean
Speaker 1: it's hard enough for a player, at least. I know
Speaker 1: for me it was to tell the training staff I
Speaker 1: was hurt. Now you know I wasn't in a I
Speaker 1: wasn't it at the level of you know, the Zeke
Speaker 1: or a dad to where you know I was the
Speaker 1: you know, had to I had to be on the field,
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to give you know, I didn't
Speaker 1: want to tell anybody I was injured lest I had to.
Speaker 1: That's it was visible on the field that I was injured.
Speaker 1: So definitely, these guys and these teams are definitely gonna
Speaker 1: you know, protect against you know, letting everything out there.
Speaker 1: But I could for sure see a scenario where the
Speaker 1: cash giving him a little just a little pain back there.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why these passes have been the offer. He
Speaker 1: hasn't had that connection. But wherever the case may be,
Speaker 1: they gotta get it through. They gotta get something worked
Speaker 1: out because we gotta get back on this role. We
Speaker 1: gotta get these playoffs. So to me, you know, if
Speaker 1: it's injured, if it's figuring out the offense of what
Speaker 1: they're going on, they definitely got to switch something up
Speaker 1: because we need to get this offense back to where
Speaker 1: it was at the beginning of the season. Cowboys are
Speaker 1: favorite in this one, so Vegas thinks that they could
Speaker 1: win this football game. The Cowboys have played well on
Speaker 1: the road. To Mary Cooper, who had a social game
Speaker 1: coming back from COVID against the Saints. I expect him
Speaker 1: to be on point and doing his doing out there.
Speaker 1: So and that is what what's that seven seven to
Speaker 1: one against the football team. I mean, it ain't no way.
Speaker 1: I'll say it's a blowout. And I don't think there's
Speaker 1: a way that the football team gets this done, but
Speaker 1: we'll see all right, you know what. We can talk
Speaker 1: about that tomorrow. So make sure you're watching tonight. Only
Speaker 1: two episodes of Survivor or Left Survivor forty one are
Speaker 1: Dame even Prey is on. The show starts at seven
Speaker 1: on CBS and if you miss it, go to CBS
Speaker 1: dot com. So he's in the final six, he's out today.
Speaker 1: I think he's in trouble. I think he's in trouble. Dowey,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just he lost he lost,
Speaker 1: he lost, uh one of the teammates. So man, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I think he's in trouble
Speaker 1: this time, man. And that's why we gotta watch. That's
Speaker 1: a beauty. Gotta watch. We have to watch, all right,
Speaker 1: We'll do it tomorrow. Players lines right here. Brought to
