Week seven is 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.680 the start of the second third into that final third, 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.960 so uh yeah, a little bit of a reset this 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.320 week and really trying to trying to get things right 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.520 for Cowboys Nations.

I do 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.639 not have that. It's stressful, but it's fun at the 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.839 same time. Like that's the thing about it so far. 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.800 And my fiance Laurina is so she's so fantastic. I mean, 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.760 both of y'all have had the chance to meet her, 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.880 and I'll kick the covers there not even closed. I 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.400 mean I'm Brian Anger and this stuff right now all 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:50.280 pro So, Yeah, it's stressful, but it hasn't gotten to 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.920 the point where it's overwhelming, which is great. I mean, 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.440 even in the midst of football season and trying to 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.160 get all that stuff organized. The wedding stuff's been so fun. 0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.800 We picked out a wedding cake this week, which has 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:04.040 been that was really really fun. So yeah, it's been good. Dude. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.880 That is that? Is any any any marriage advice Barry? 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:12.840 Do you? Barry? Barry gives us plenty of wedding advice. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.520 Whenever we're sitting in watching the games in the studio, 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.440 He'll over little yeah, just pop them up and throw 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.440 the happy wife, happy life. That's what I go for, man, 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.599 that's I like it. So I got all right, question, 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.039 then you know you're getting married, so all of the 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.240 everything is pretty much fresh. First place that you guys, 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.040 where'd you guys meet? So we met at the University 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:35.720 of North Texas. So we both went to U and 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:43.040 it's a love miss bro Oh yeah, it's a love miss. 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:48.960 Nobody wants to go to Kent States, little brothers, Come on, disrespect. 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.360 It's got to come to a close right now. We're 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.600 just gonna all that, you know what. It's a it's 0:04:55.600 --> 0:05:00.080 a little good yall in North Texas. Yeah, we that 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.000 at U and T worked at the student television station there, 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.640 and then we had a lot of mutual friends and 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.680 we were in the same friend group for a little 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.240 bit there, and then we kind of went our separate ways. 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.680 She graduated a year before I did, so she graduated 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.080 and went off into the workforce and did her own thing. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.800 She was an entertainment host for a couple of different places, 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:24.839 most notably Disney Cruise Line, and then whenever COVID happened, 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.120 her cruise Line life shut down, right, and I had 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.120 just gotten on with the Cowboys, and I had been 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.320 through a season with them in twenty nineteen, and then 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.839 I had just done some on air stuff for the Cowboys, 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.000 in twenty twenty. So when we went virtual and everything 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.840 just kind of split up. Uh. It took a couple 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.360 of months and then we we kind of started reconnecting 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.040 and texting each other and then rest is history. Hang out. 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.400 That's good man, hey, man being the being the guy 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.160 that has been married longer than than than this guy. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.479 You know, like I told you before, like my financial 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:08.200 advisor told me, okay, do it early. Uh huh and often? Sure, okay, okay, 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.520 And I got dirty minds, and I know what y'all thinking. 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:15.560 That's what I went straight to. That Barry's Barry's also truth. 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:24.560 He's honest. And I'm talking about a state planning Okay, finally, okay, 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:33.120 you're talking about later, We're talking about a state planning 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.400 planning it out. He said this earlier, like in the week, Chris, 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.440 and it was the same reaction there as I had 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.200 just now. I was like, Okay, let me make sure 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.240 that I'm thinking the right thing here, trying to help 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:46.400 me out left field somewhere, trying to help you out, man, 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.480 But hey, get it. The show. We hey, we talked 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.520 about the love. We got a mind together, man. We 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.000 got to talk about what's going on Sunday at twelve 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.760 o'clock and tell us we got us a game. Let's 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.159 do it, dude, we got us a game. And you 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.800 know what, this is the part of the season man, 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.760 that really has us all kind of out of whack. 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.040 You're you're at a point in your in your season 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.360 where you're saying to yourself, are we aren't we all right? 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.880 And so when you look at this game coming up 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.600 against the Lions, guys, are you are you in the 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.120 mode of, hey man, this is just what the doctor ordered, 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.160 or hey watch out, I'm in the motive. This is 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.640 just what the Doctor order, especially for the offense, because 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.320 we're looking at Detroit right now. Defensively, you know, we 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.200 just let's be on. We're on us on this show, right, 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.240 So they're tracked. They're terrible, all right, giving up you know, 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.480 most yards on the ground, passing yards. You can do 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.920 whatever you want to this defense. So to me, this 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.560 is just what the Doctor ordered. Offensively, especially you got 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.920 number four coming back into the fold. I think he'll 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.000 be able to you know, he'll start out slow. I 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:48.640 think he'll start out slow, a little bit of rusty. 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.120 You know, you got to get that connection back with 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.280 your wide receivers out there because it's been such a 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.040 long time. But they'll start out slow and eventually he'll 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.680 get his foot back in the ground and he'll be 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.200 able to do big things out there. And I think 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.160 this is a game where it all starts out. I 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.400 think Dak Prescott gets his mojo going, gets this engine 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.240 back going. We stick to the ground a little bit 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:06.800 because I feel like, like I said, you could do 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:08.520 whatever you want to this defense. So I think we'll 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.320 stick to the ground a little bit. But Dak he'll 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:11.880 get his arms stretched out a little bit out there 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.480 and he'll be able to throw some darts. So I 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:17.400 think this is just what the doctor ordered. Offensively, defensively, 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.080 we just gotta stick to what we've been doing, right, 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:20.680 Just stick to what we've been doing. They got weapons 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.720 out there, but if we do what we do, it 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.880 should be a no contest. Do you believe that the 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:29.920 confidence right now for this game is fake confidence? Do 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.720 you are you? Do you need to temper that with 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.800 not being overconfident with an opponent coming off of a 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.720 bye week. Yeah, we may be playing the Lions down 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.440 a little bit here. I think I think the confidence 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.880 is real. This team realizes, especially after what Cooper Rush 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.120 was able to do and come in and write the ship, 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.079 not only just survive, but write the ship to get 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.679 four wins in five games. That's enough to build your 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.319 confidence into the back of the second half of the season. 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.960 It's you don't want that confidence to turn into cockiness. 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.600 That's where it's different exactly because you can it could 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:02.960 be a little bit of both of what you had 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.640 said previously. Is this a game where you're worried about 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.240 but is it a game where you also could get right? 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.160 This could be exactly what the doctor ordered. A bad defense. 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:15.040 You said, their bottom in the league in multiple categories. 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.160 They're the number thirty two ranked team in the in 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:21.760 the entire NFL in terms of defensive grades, yardage allowed, 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.439 points allowed, doesn't matter. They've been bad. So guess what 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.600 the offense could be great? Or you could come in 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.480 thinking that and you're over analyzing and you're saying, hey, 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.520 confidence level is skyrocket high. We don't need to really 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.160 look at this the same way as we did last 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.560 week in a highly emotional game against Philadelphia. Be careful 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.679 in doing that, because if you come in you overlook 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.319 the Lions. They've got an offense that can score. They 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.000 sure as heck can run the football. They can run 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.320 it really well with the best of them in the NFL. 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.920 Your defense is what's been the weakness stopping the run. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.720 So you gotta you can't overlook them, but you should 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.640 have confidence to go in and win this football game 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.880 because you're at home. You're the better team on paper, 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.720 but you can't let it slip up on you, because 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.000 if it does, you're going to be in a whole 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:05.599 lot of trouble, especially if you get off to a 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.920 slow start. When the game ended. When the game ended 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:13.319 last Sunday night, there were a few very there were 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.800 position groups, and I think that you looked at and said, man, 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:21.240 we gotta get better in this group, right, I gotta ask. 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.520 I mean because if you look around the NFL right now, 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:31.640 the Carolina Panthers just traded Christian McCaffrey to the forty 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:37.040 nine ers, and there's somebody that's obviously gearing up for 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.320 a run, and that's the San Francisco forty nine ers. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.480 Now there are teams in the NFC, in the AFC 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.840 obviously looking at this move and they're saying, like, Okay, 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.800 what are we doing to keep pace with this move, 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.000 especially in the NFC if you're looking at position groups, Guys, 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.840 which position group are you looking at right now? Especially 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.000 after that Eagles game and you're saying yourself, we gotta 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.640 be better here, Kyle, I start with you. Which group 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.760 was that? Yeah, it's tough because I think they kind 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.560 of go hand to hand the two that I was 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.840 really looking at, and this could even go out to 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.760 the outside as well. But I really think it's the 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:15.120 linebacking corps and the interior, especially when going up against 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.040 the run. Mike McCarthy said it today. Teams don't want 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.200 to throw the football against the Cowboys right now because 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.400 that pass rush is nasty. So what do they do instead? 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.679 They run it straight at them. They run right down 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.280 the center of the defense. They splice through there, and 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.880 that's how they have their success because then it throws 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.520 off the pass rush and it's able to balance things out. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.240 So how do you stop that? You have good reads 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.480 at the second level from your linebackers. Anthony Barr, Layton Vanderesh, 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.199 both of them did not have good games against Philadelphia. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.959 You go back and you watch the tape. They're getting 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.280 pushed off the ball, They're getting washed down by multiple 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.360 guys at the second level. Philly did such a good job, 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.880 Jason Kelsey specifically of getting up the field and walling 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.320 off those guys. So my linebacker's got to be better. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.760 But how can linebackers play better? The guys in front 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:01.760 of them him at the interior of that defensive line 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.480 have too as well. So I think it's a combination 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.240 of the two. And then if that wasn't enough, if 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.480 it's the interior run game that you can't slow down, 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.800 you got to be better on the edge too, in 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.840 terms of run defense from your corners, Trayvon Diggs, and 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.120 I like the way that you guys said it. You 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.040 tell the truth on this show. Trayvon Diggs has been 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.959 downright bad against the run this season, bad on multiple occasions, 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.080 and honestly, it looks like it's a choice of his. 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.040 He doesn't want the smoke, he doesn't want it, he 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:30.880 doesn't go in there, and he doesn't make the tackle. 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.679 He's got to be better against the run. He's been 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.280 okay in coverage, he's done his thing in coverage, but 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.079 against the run, they've got to be better on the edge. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.560 So I would say the linebackers first, followed by interior 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.480 and then on the edge with the corners, all of 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.240 that against the run. So improvement if you if you're 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:52.920 looking around and you're saying, all right, guys, there's a 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:58.280 cover and then there's a button, pressing the button. I'm 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.880 pressing the button. Button, Brad, I'm smashing the button because 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.600 I could make improvements on this team to get to 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.440 the next level. What position group are you saying, BC man, 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.520 that's tough, man, And you know what, I'm gonna look offensively, okay, 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.280 and I'm gonna look at that wide receiver room and 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.559 now you know, and it's tough because you know it's 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.439 early in this season. They didn't have Dak out there. 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.800 I understand all that, but when you look at it, 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.840 the separation just wasn't there. It hasn't It hasn't been 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.280 there at all. And I think the Eagles really exposed that. 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.560 If you look at it, there was no no receiver 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.680 out there had a step on anybody. And I understand 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.760 Eagles got one of the top secondaries in the in 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.640 the NFL. They got Slay, they got Bradberry, they got 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.839 Maddic so they have an extremely solid secondary out there. 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.680 But even before that, I just didn't see these receivers 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.840 getting massive separation out there. So that's a unit I 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:48.760 would look for. But the only problem with that is 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.920 where are you gonna go? You know what what receivers 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.680 are out there that you women and what you got. 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.600 I can't say his name, but he plays for a 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:57.920 team that's blue and black and it's in Carolina and 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.920 one of the Carolinas Northurst out. I don't really want 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:05.600 to specifically, I don't think. I don't think they're gonna 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.480 let that. Can't say anything, but yeah, but it's just 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.640 to me, it's like the separation just isn't there. Offensively, 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.520 you got the run game. I think the offensive line 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.160 they're improving weekend and weekend, they're getting better and better. 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.240 And then you look on the defensive side of the ball. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.800 I gotta agree with my man Kyle here, that interior 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.600 part of that defensive line. I'm talking Gallimore or Dicky 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.600 Zua against the Pastor. They're rushing great, they're getting up field, 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.840 they're getting after the quarterback. But in the run game, 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.040 and we saw it last week and I understand the 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.240 Eagles run game, it's it's a different scheme. It's it's 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.160 a totally different game and it's tough to read. That 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.600 RPO game is extremely tough on your linebackers and your 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.720 defensive line, but overall, teams have been able to gash 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.280 us up the gut. So to me, how I'm looking 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.440 at that defensive line. I'm looking at those interior two 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.320 tackles right there. Linebackers. I feel like they've had a 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.760 solid season. I feel like lvee bar they've had a 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.360 solid season. And that RPO run game, I mean it's 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.200 extremely tough. Yeah they just got they got Yeah, that 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.680 was that was it. You look at that linebacker corps. 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.760 You gotta have great as going against RPL. I mean, 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.760 it's tough for anybody out there. But that defensive line, 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.920 that interior dtackle, I'm looking at that, and if I'm 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.040 looking offensively, I'm looking at the wide receiver. It's the 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.800 only problem is I just don't know who you get. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.360 I don't know who you get out. So we're talking 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.680 if if if we're talking about the button here and 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.400 you lift that case and when you smash the button, 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.760 the button is giving us an automatic fix. It's just yes, 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.040 it is. It's like that guy comes Sparkles and he 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.440 is yes, CONFI I think I would smash that button, 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.720 not for linebacker, not for interior. But I think right 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.080 there with you, I've got wide receiver that would be mine. 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.640 Smash the button and here he is booms to fix 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.240 all it would be will to talk about free agents 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.400 right now, though, yes, okay, you can't hit that are 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.760 guys that are on other teams. Is there any free 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.760 rad receivers that you can think? I mean, because I 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:48.480 know the guy that comes to the top of the 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:53.800 man's JJ CO that's that's another guy off al That's 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.440 that's where that conversation starts and ends when you talk 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.440 about the ACL, because you already have a guy on 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.880 your team within ACL and you're seeing kind of the 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:07.080 pull back on him coming back to y Yeah we did. 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.000 And but but Kyle, I want to go back to 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.560 what you were talking about about the linebacking corps. And 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.360 you know, I think the defensive line has been solid 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.320 and in these games leading up to the Philadelphia Gaming. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.400 We're gonna talk to more about the defense later. But 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:24.880 I question, especially with Anthony barr H and Layton Vanderesh 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.240 watch Abrill Cox hadn't gotten anymore run and that to 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:32.240 me has been a question area for a lot of people. 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.040 He's getting some some special team work, but he's not 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.560 able to break the lineup on defense. And he's a guy. 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.720 Let's just say he was tagged immediately that coming into 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.640 the out of the draft that his weakness was against 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.920 the run. So I don't know how much of that 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.440 helps you anyway, because you know that he's better against 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.560 the pass and he is against the run. But those 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.320 are the question marks that I have, especially for our 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.200 linebacking corps that's getting a little older. We have a 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.600 guy in Laton Vanderes is on a one year contract, 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.120 Anthony bar I don't need another one year, proved deal 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:07.679 bridge player. But all those things being considered, there's a 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.720 lot to be desired at the linebacker position that we're 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.000 not getting in the way that Michael Parsons is playing 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.560 right now in dan Quinn's rotation. It's more of a 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.800 blitzing a gap linebacker. Now we have seen him full 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.919 guys like we saw last week. He's out and coverage 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.680 with Dallas Goddard, but that's from the edge position. That's 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:27.040 not like he's out there playing a natural linebacker position 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.080 that we would see with other linebacker. Yeah, and the 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.200 answer to Jabrille Cox. I actually ask somebody that yesterday 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.240 when we were in locker room, and he's just not 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.600 moving as well as you would want him to. He's 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.199 still kind of still lingered by that injury just a 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.000 little bit. He's healthy, but he's just not back to 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.280 the movement the range of ability that he can do, 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.640 which his strength has been in coverage. Like heck Mas 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.960 said initially, that's that was what they drafted him for 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.080 in the fourth round, was to be a coverage linebacker, 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.800 the guy who you really want as a guy to 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.200 come in and help stop the run. Damon Clarkark, that's 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.800 the guy who you would and he's on his way 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.359 back too, So I think both of those guys are 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.879 going to have a role at some point down the line. 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.439 Jibro Cox, he's healthy, he's playing, he's playing on special teams, 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.680 but the range of motion just isn't there as as 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.200 quickly as they wanted to be for a linebacker to 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.840 specifically take snaps away from Layton vander rash and away 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.359 from Anthony Barr, Whereas Demon Clark could come in and 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.399 depending on when he's back to one, he could be 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.359 that downhill guy that you've wanted in that second level. Now, 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.680 and going back to what you were talking about about 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:34.280 wide receiver, I have nobody has been. Yes, Keith Sweat, 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.520 where are you what I need to because I have 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:43.080 been the Cede Lamb pump pump waiver. Okay, I need 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.159 you Cede Lamb to be a number one receiver. But 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:50.120 it has not happened. It does not happened. I think 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.760 the expectation with him and Michael Gallub was that these 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.040 two young stud wide receivers could be the future of 0:18:56.080 --> 0:19:00.159 the Dallas Cowboys, and I just haven't seen it. From me. 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:05.119 Noah Brown has been more sturdy, which I don't know 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.720 why that makes me feel bad when I say that. Yeah, 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.560 it kind of doesn't feel bad to say that because 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:14.359 he doesn't have the same resources used as Ceedee Lambs. 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:19.800 But one of the first round draft picks, the expectations 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:23.359 are different. I mean, Ceedee Lamb's numbers are better than 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.080 Noah Brown, but that shouldn't be something to be celebrated. 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.440 That should be something to say, Oh, Cede Lamb's a 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.320 first round pick who's supposed to be the number one 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.679 wide receiver. Why is his number? Why are his numbers 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:37.840 only barely marginally better than Noah Brown. That's there's no 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.560 reason that should be. We had a play that we 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.760 had to uh, they went to review on for Noah 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.600 Brown in the corner of the end zone. Obviously that's 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:50.160 a baller play. And these are the plays that I'm 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.800 looking around and saying, hey, bro, I see you that 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.160 I need you to make that. We need that same 0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:00.280 swim from the second half New York exactly running ass 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.800 over for the extra yard snotty knows he was. Where's 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.160 that sweat gone? That's a great point because he came 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:10.440 into that game, was criticized and then guess what first 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.160 half did not play well? Dropped a pure touchdown pass, 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.240 came over and he was livid. You could see he 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.280 was not happy. What did he do? He compartmentalized it 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:21.239 and he ran over some cats. I mean that's what 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.080 he did. He went after guys, and that's what you want. 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:27.640 You want that lethal mentality. Look, what did DeAndre Hopkins 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:31.280 do last night? I've seen it first first game. That's 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.479 the kind of guy you expect him to be, and 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.720 it's it hasn't shown it and it looks like in 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.639 the body language with CD and we've talked about this before. 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.879 But you know when things aren't going as well, you 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:45.800 see it all the time. It's just like, ah, my goodness, 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:49.639 like the arms are playing it. I'm just come on, 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.600 my guys, like grocery store with your mom. No, you 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:58.920 can't have it looked at it. We know you're dealing 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:01.960 with and nothing against Cooper Ross, but you know he's 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:03.840 not Dak Prescott. We know what you've been dealing with. 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.200 You gotta be that number one guy to help lift 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.960 everybody else upright, No, but the body language is just 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.160 not there without looking at it. Where do you feel 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:13.600 like Ceedee Lamb ranks in terms of the wide receivers 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:14.880 in the NFL right now? If you had to put 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:16.440 a number on it. Where does he rank in terms 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.800 of yardage right now? Just yardage or like potential yardage 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.760 right at production? To this point, I still think he's 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:26.000 like twelve eleven, Okay, so he's a little bit further 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:29.800 down than that. Where do you think I'm thinking twenties twenties? Yeah, 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:31.720 he's sixteen, So he's right in the middle of where 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.639 you guys are in terms of total yardage, but in 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:38.720 terms of receptions, he's even further down than that. I mean, 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.000 he's probably hold up just a second. Yeah, he's outside 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.320 the top twenty five in terms of receptions, and then 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.159 his longest reception of the year thirty yards. That's it. 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.560 Like it was supposed to be the yat. He was 0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:50.879 supposed to be the guy. When he gets it in 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:55.720 his hands, it's electric. Yeah, we haven't seen it. This 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:57.800 is like, this is the part of the show where 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:03.800 we have to woos together.

Hey, no, no, let me tell 0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:14.520 you something. We're in the middle of a broadcast last 0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.080 night in him doing a high school game, and I 0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:19.680 think I said, you hate to see it, like three 0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:22.679 times doing the broadcast. And then then there was one 0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:25.160 time when the quarterback fumbled. They were driving this as 0:25:25.160 --> 0:25:27.160 a team. Man hasn't had a win yet. He gets 0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:29.800 the ball poked out from behind and he says it 0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:33.680 and then I said, and he looks at me and 0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:38.639 he goes we spend too much time with Barry in 0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:41.400 the middle of the broadcast, like we are spending way 0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:44.800 too with time with Barry Church when all the words 0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:47.240 that I have in this head of mine, the best 0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:49.720 batement that I have in the middle of a broadcast 0:25:49.920 --> 0:25:54.080 is yeah, I hate to see it. I believe wraps 0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:56.760 it all up in the boom. I even trying to 0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:59.760 pause and find something else to say, and all, yeah, 0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:02.520 you gotta say it that way too. Where it's like 0:26:02.560 --> 0:26:07.680 the softmore you go, you gotta get a T shirt 0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:11.879 that's you gotta find it somebody at home. There's a 0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:14.480 lot of listeners to the players lounge. If you got it, 0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:18.840 hit up, hit up your boy, Okay, right o? Man? 0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:21.760 So guys, uh, look my favorite subject. You know what 0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:25.320 it is? My guy? You know heym might do number four. 0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:30.240 I talked about him anyway, any anyway, you don't have 0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.720 to push me to talk about Dak Prescott. Hey, can 0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:38.399 we talk about Dak Prescott? Yes? Okay, cool aslutely sweet, 0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:41.320 Yes we can talk about talk about But you know what, 0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:44.880 something controversial happened this week. Uh the Ringer came out 0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:53.479 with this list of quarterbacks and listed at number seven, one, two, five, six, seven, 0:26:54.400 --> 0:26:58.000 and behind him was I think the list behind him 0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:01.080 was even more impressive, guys. And that's what I really thought, 0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:03.840 that this was gonna get one buried Church steamed here 0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:15.960 and listen to this. Behind him is Burrow, Lawrence Cousins, Stafford, Murray, 0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:22.840 and Hurts, of course. But Dak is at number seven. Barry, 0:27:22.920 --> 0:27:26.120 and I'm going to start with you, what are your 0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:31.160 thoughts in the NFL ranking of one reign da quote 0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:35.000 of Prescott as a number of seven quarterback in the NFL. 0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:38.240 I just don't know how right? How are we talking about, 0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:40.440 you know, body of work, what he's done since he's 0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:42.399 been in the league. Okay, I get you on that, 0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:47.280 but if we're specifically talking about this season, how is 0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.520 he number seven? How is he above all these other guys? 0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:53.040 To me, it makes no sense. The last time we've 0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.720 seen Dak Prescott was against Tampa Bay. Was he a 0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:58.520 top was her seventh quarterback? Then? I don't. I wouldn't 0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:01.280 say so. The time before that forty nine Ers play 0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:05.040 half game, was he you know? A seven? No? So 0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:08.719 without playing since week one where it was not your 0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:11.719 best performance. Now, if anything, it was one of his worst. Exactly, 0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:14.359 how are you a top seven quarterback in the National 0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:16.600 Football League when you got all I'm looking at this 0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:18.840 list right now, I'm sitting there like, wait a second. 0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:22.800 You know you got you know, Burrows behind you, Trevor Lawrence, 0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:27.160 who's been playing pretty good this year. Yes, yes, Kirk Cousins, Yeah, 0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:29.080 you're trying to tell me this year. I'm not talking. 0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:31.560 I know how people think about currime time, Kurt. I 0:28:31.760 --> 0:28:34.919 know they think about him like that, he's still terrible 0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:37.920 in primetime. Have been playing good football, accept prime time, 0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:40.920 accepting prime time, but they got his team going right now. 0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:44.760 The man hasn't played since week one, and you're putting 0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:47.880 him above the likes of these people. I just don't 0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:49.480 see it. If we're going back, like I said, a 0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:52.680 body of work or potential when he's fully healthy. Okay, 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.840 I think that's what this is. I because I agree 0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:57.680 with you, there's no way he should be a top 0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:00.320 ten quarterback if you if you're based off of this 0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:02.240 this week, because if you look at I mean this 0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:04.360 year rather because if you look off of this year 0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:07.040 his only appearance, he went fourteen of twenty nine for 0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:10.800 a buck thirty four and any sections. No, he's a 0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:13.960 bottom five quarterback in terms of his performance that he's 0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:16.040 had this year. But if you're talking about a guy 0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:18.280 who can come in and win you football games, there's 0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:20.720 excitement around the star for a reason. It's because he's 0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:24.280 a good quarterback. He's an above average, if not really 0:29:24.360 --> 0:29:27.440 good quarterback at times depending on how he's playing. He 0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:29.920 hasn't shown that in twenty twenty two yet, but like 0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:33.120 you said, over the course of his year or his career, 0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:35.840 he has, so in my mind, it wouldn't make sense 0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:39.120 for this to not be full body of work included. 0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:40.880 I mean, you look at some of the other guys 0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:43.120 that are in the league right now. Matthew Stafford, he 0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:46.160 struggled this year. He hasn't played well this year. Joe 0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:48.480 Burrow hasn't been lighting up the stat sheet this year either, 0:29:48.520 --> 0:29:50.560 But I would still probably put him ahead. We can't 0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:54.280 because when you're not another guy, you're on the field. 0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:58.600 So if you're talking about the twenty twenty two season 0:29:58.800 --> 0:30:01.400 in a vacuum, no, this should not be the number 0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:04.320 seven quarterback. But if you're talking about grand scheme of things, 0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:08.719 career achievements and pure potential, Dak Prescott's a top ten quarterback. 0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:12.840 Let's just go grand scheme. I what you what you 0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:16.760 have done since you've got into the league, So no potential, 0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:18.760 this is this is what you've done, what you've done. 0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:22.440 He's sent sixteen to now you put you putting him over? 0:30:22.880 --> 0:30:25.719 You put him over Kirk? Yes, why I would put 0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:29.200 him over Kirk. Why he's been a better quarterback or 0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:33.880 better quarterback in more games than Kirk. Cresent's for sure. 0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:37.160 Any sure, Kirk? Are you kidding me? Yeah? Let me 0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:38.800 pull it up, Let me pull up, let me just 0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:41.400 let me just this is me keeping it real. Okay, 0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.000 I've already told you this is my favorite guy. To 0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:47.080 talk about. But when I look at this list and 0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:50.200 I see him at seven, even I say that's too high. 0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:52.360 I don't know if I would put him at seven, 0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:54.640 but I would put him as a top ten borderline guy. 0:30:55.080 --> 0:30:59.320 I have problems with Joe Burrow. Let's just start there. Yeah, 0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:05.680 Joe Burrow, okay, and as a quarterback, as a guy 0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:09.400 that can throw me as a passer, just the way 0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:12.240 that this guy operates in the pocket. Joe Burrow, definitely. 0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:15.200 I mean, it's just if you just eyeball this thing. 0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:20.000 He's a Joe Burrow is a better quarterback. Kirk Cousins statistically, 0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:22.120 just based off of his numbers. I mean, fourth quarter 0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.880 drives things like that. People down Kirk Cousins in a 0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:26.880 lot of ways, but he has the numbers to go 0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:30.760 with it as well. See I disagree, as you should. Yeah, 0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:32.760 I disagree. I think Dak Prescott has been a much 0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:34.800 better fourth quarter quarterback. He's one of the best in 0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:37.440 the league in terms of leading game winning drives, latent games, 0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:40.040 and then can we just I mean I was looking 0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:42.520 up comparison numbers. I didn't even know this was the case. 0:31:42.800 --> 0:31:46.960 Kirk Cusins has thrown fifteen more or excuse me, He's 0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:51.840 thrown forty I'm bad at maun forty five more interceptions 0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:55.960 in his career than Dak Prescott. Yes, and he's done 0:31:56.000 --> 0:31:58.440 so in forty more games. So it's that's almost an 0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:01.240 interception a game from here on out for Dak Prescott, 0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:03.600 and he would finally get to that number. So it 0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:07.080 hasn't been great by any stretch of the imagination. And 0:32:07.120 --> 0:32:10.719 then touchdown passes. I mean, it's the numbers add up 0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:14.120 better for Dak Prescott now than it does for Kirk Cousins, 0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:17.120 even about his career and game winning drives. Kirk Cousins 0:32:17.200 --> 0:32:20.360 has nineteen, Dak has seventeen. Just based off of those numbers, 0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:22.600 I mean, it's not like their leaps and bounds of 0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:27.120 separation between the two quarterbacks. And look, I just when 0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:29.520 I saw the list, I'm like, okay, you know, cool deal. 0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:33.080 I look at I look at Dak as a gamer, 0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:35.800 a baller, a guy that's gonna show up and be 0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:39.000 game time ready, lead your team. He's gonna do what 0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:41.640 it takes in that fourth and one situation. There's nobody 0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:45.080 I would rather have at the quarterback to be able 0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:47.440 to get that one yard. He will sacrifice it. We've 0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:49.960 seen it in the Seattle game. There's nobody you rather have. 0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:53.160 I'm telling I believe. I mean, of course there are, man, 0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:59.240 I'm just saying, yes, you know, Aaron Rodgers plays for 0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:01.200 a Green Bay. I don't think I can have him, 0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:03.160 you know. But I'm just saying that Dak Prescott, I 0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:06.720 know that he is a quarterback that we can trust 0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:09.600 and rely on even in those situations. And I got 0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:11.840 a nugget I want to want to throw at you 0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:14.680 guys here, but I just think that there are times 0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:18.480 where the scrutiny for him moves back and forward. The 0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:20.960 way that they jump judge him. And I've said it before, 0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:23.000 like if they want to go on the sample size, 0:33:23.040 --> 0:33:26.040 he can go thirteen and four or whatever it is, 0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:28.800 and they'll start from the Denver game, or they'll say, oh, 0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:30.800 it's been from the last two games that he played, 0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:32.680 or let's go back to the first game, or let's 0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:35.880 go back thirty six game, thirty six starts, and won't 0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:37.720 even count that he, you know, snapped his leg and 0:33:37.760 --> 0:33:40.960 half right, all of those, all things being considered, and 0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:43.840 we'll never mention that he was Rookie of the Year. Okay, 0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:47.480 you won't say that, but I just believe for our 0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:51.160 team right now, the way that it's constructed, Dak Prescott 0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:55.280 is the quarterback that can lead this team potentially to 0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:57.040 the to where we're trying to go, and that's to 0:33:57.160 --> 0:33:59.560 a super Bowl. That's intentional though. I mean, that's why 0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:02.400 they build the team this Absolutely they built it to 0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:06.080 be around Dak Prescott. So let me ask you this, 0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:08.719 where what quarterbacks do you want me to read off? 0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:11.080 Some quarterbacks? You tell me above or below Dak Prescott? 0:34:11.280 --> 0:34:12.920 Go ahead, you wanna try and do that? I mean, 0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:19.080 these are the easy ones. Josh talking about work. Josh Allen, 0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:22.600 Yeah above, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady. Okay, good. 0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:24.640 So here's the guys that are kind of right there 0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:27.560 in at least the conversation. Justin Herbert, is it too 0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:31.319 early to tell? I still Papa Dak above to my guy, 0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:34.000 Justin Herbert's probably the better quarterback right this second. If 0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:35.880 you're talking about body, body of work, it's different. I 0:34:35.920 --> 0:34:38.319 gotta go Joe Burrow. I gotta go with Joe. If 0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:41.000 you're talking about body, he's been, he's been to the 0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:43.080 won the big games. So I gotta give it Lamar 0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:47.160 Jackson MVP. He's won an MVP. Yeah, I gotta god. 0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:49.640 They got the same amount of playoff wins what they got. Yeah, 0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:51.440 it's pretty close. I haven't looked at that. And the 0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:54.320 guys want a m VP. Yeah, I gotta go. Jalen Hurts. No, 0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:57.839 not that guy. I agree. Matthew Stafford. I know he's 0:34:57.880 --> 0:34:59.960 won a ring, but he wasn't that won that ring. 0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:04.080 He wouldn't. Yeah, he helped get there, and he helped 0:35:04.080 --> 0:35:06.960 play well when he did, and he has crazy numbers. 0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:10.239 But it's like, if you're asking me who I want 0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:14.520 to leave my team, I'm going Dak over over Stafford. Okay, okay, 0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:19.399 what about you, Dak? Okay, Kirk Cousins that Kyler Murray 0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:26.880 that you would put Kirk Kyler over Dak from me? 0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:30.120 Be personal? What would be the separation with Kyle? Think 0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.719 Kyler can do more. I think he challenges defenses more 0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:36.400 than what Daks with his legs and his arms. He's 0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:39.680 more dangerous overall. I would rather go against Dak than 0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:43.040 go against Kyler Murray in a game. Russell Wilson, he's 0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:46.200 been to the upper echel. I'm going right now, but 0:35:46.200 --> 0:35:49.200 it's kyd be looking at him right now. I'm looking 0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:51.440 going off of what I just saw the other day. Yeah, boy, 0:35:52.880 --> 0:35:56.960 Russell Russell right now, give me Dad every single day. 0:35:57.440 --> 0:36:02.839 Derek Carr. That's a comparison, I think. But yeah, Jimmy Garoppolo, Dak. 0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:06.080 There you go. So the reason I mean, that's even 0:36:06.200 --> 0:36:08.640 fifteen quarterbacks right there, I just named half of the league. 0:36:08.800 --> 0:36:11.040 The other guys aren't in the same contention. Ryan Tannahill, 0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:14.239 Gino Smith TWOA Tungavloa, Trevor Lawrence better lately but still 0:36:14.320 --> 0:36:17.960 not there, Kinney Pickett, Matt Ryan, Daniel Jones. No, no, 0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:23.400 he's a top ten quarterback. That's easy money. You cannot 0:36:23.440 --> 0:36:25.520 tell me that Dak Prescott's not a top ten quarterback 0:36:25.520 --> 0:36:28.640 in the league. Ten. Yeah, right, So I gotta ask 0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:32.440 you this, guys. The expectation that's put on Dak, all right, 0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:35.759 he seems to be and I don't want to use 0:36:35.800 --> 0:36:37.680 the media as a part of this, but he seems 0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:39.960 to be in a lose lose situation. If he comes 0:36:40.000 --> 0:36:42.239 in any wins, you're supposed to. They pay you to 0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:44.960 do that, Okay. The only thing that's gonna get him 0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:47.800 to to be the Golden Boy is going to be 0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:50.600 win a super Bowl, go to a super Bowl, win 0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:53.160 a super Bowl. Do you think that the burden that 0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:56.440 in expectation, that that's on him is too heavy? No? No, 0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:59.080 I think that's you get what you get when you're 0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:03.160 wearing that Star man suld cover more than any if 0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:05.040 you if you're playing for America's Day, you're gonna get 0:37:05.040 --> 0:37:07.279 to scrutiny. And I mean even when you play great, 0:37:07.320 --> 0:37:10.000 they're gonna nitpick. Everything's under a microscope when you had 0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:11.640 that Strow on your helmet. Now, if you were playing 0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:15.080 for Jacksonville or Cleveland, wouldn't be that way. You can win. 0:37:15.320 --> 0:37:17.799 You can win the game throwing two interceptions, but you're 0:37:17.840 --> 0:37:20.640 running for three hundred yards and win. He's great, But here, 0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:24.160 look he threw that incompletion right there, like it's you're 0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:26.200 gonna it's it's the star. Look at Joe Burrow. Joe 0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:29.960 Burrows played terrible football this year, but he's still Joe 0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:33.000 Burrow because he's been to the game in Cincinnati. Even 0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:34.839 if you go to the game and you lose it here, 0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:37.520 it's not winning the game. You gotta win the title here. 0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:40.600 It's also it's so interesting for me to look at 0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:43.279 it because it is so hard to win a super Bowl, 0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:46.359 so unbelievably hard to win a super Bowl. Look at 0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:49.640 the quarterbacks that have won it. Patrick Mahomes, he's upper echelon, 0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:51.880 he's won one. Aaron Rodgers, he's one of the greatest 0:37:51.920 --> 0:37:54.840 of all time. One. Tom Brady. That's different. Let's not 0:37:54.840 --> 0:37:58.920 talk about Tom Brader. Matthew Stafford. He's won one, but 0:37:59.040 --> 0:38:01.640 people still don't even see him that. We don't even 0:38:01.680 --> 0:38:03.960 really look at him that way. Russell Wilson one one. 0:38:04.040 --> 0:38:06.160 We just talked about a body of work over did 0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:10.160 have two? Yeah, you should have to. There are so 0:38:10.360 --> 0:38:13.560 many guys on this list that are good quarterbacks and 0:38:13.680 --> 0:38:16.280 have been great quarterbacks but have not won a superb 0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:18.279 Look at look at Romo. Look at the numbers he 0:38:18.400 --> 0:38:20.280 was able to put up in those years. Didn't Sniff 0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:23.640 did not. Sniff didn't Sniff had some teams. But he 0:38:23.719 --> 0:38:25.600 had some teams and he put up great numbers, but 0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:28.080 he was under them. He was under the scrutiny as well. Guys, 0:38:28.120 --> 0:38:31.480 we could talk about this all day. I meant, I 0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:34.279 meant to stand upon that. I did exactly that. In 0:38:34.400 --> 0:38:37.360 the last segment, we are going to make our picks 0:38:38.280 --> 0:38:40.640 and I want somebody to do something controversial. Is it 0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:43.480 in you? Will somebody go on the others. I don't 0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:47.120 think it happened coming up next on the players louds. 0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:52.399 Nobody protects you from mayhem like all State. You hear 0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:57.000 that I'm a torrential downpour. Torrential, what's that even mean? 0:38:57.760 --> 0:38:59.880 It means you can't see out of your wind she 0:39:01.560 --> 0:39:03.880 and if you have the wrong car insurance, you might 0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:06.480 have to make it rain to fix your bumper. So 0:39:06.680 --> 0:39:09.560 switch to all State, save money and be better protected 0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:12.160 from mayhem like me. Based on coverage in them, it's 0:39:12.160 --> 0:39:14.759 selected subject to terms, conditions, and availability. In most states, 0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:16.560 Prices varied based on how you buying.

And back on the Players Lounge, which 0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:41.160 Kyle Yeoman's and Buried Churches. Yeah, we even have some 0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:44.520 spirited debates. And guys, I want to say to you 0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:50.320 that last Sunday, I had deja vu of a evening 0:41:50.480 --> 0:41:54.839 last year here at home against the forty nine Ers. 0:41:55.880 --> 0:41:58.880 That Eagles game reminded me in a lot of ways 0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:01.359 of the forty Hins game. And I'll tell you how 0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:04.279 it was the first game that I've seen since the 0:42:04.400 --> 0:42:08.040 forty nine Ers where we got bullied up front. I 0:42:08.080 --> 0:42:11.080 didn't see that in Tampa against the Bucks, but I 0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:14.560 did see that against Philadelphia, and it bothered me. It 0:42:14.760 --> 0:42:18.520 bothered me because you know how the bully gets bullied sometime, 0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:20.880 and I think that our defense came into this season 0:42:20.920 --> 0:42:23.719 the way they've been playing, they've been bullying people. But 0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:31.680 Philadelphia said, we're going to deliver the first blow and 0:42:31.800 --> 0:42:34.359 we're gonna bully you. But what bothered me even more 0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:37.880 about that was that against the forty nine ers, a 0:42:37.960 --> 0:42:40.200 lot of guys that we see on Twitter with you know, 0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:42.560 big Twitter thumbs and you know, guys that are get 0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:47.360 in front of the camera, they disappear. They tend to 0:42:47.719 --> 0:42:51.640 disappear in those critical moments where you need the plays 0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:55.880 to be made right. The same thing happened against Philadelphia. 0:42:55.920 --> 0:43:01.240 I'm not gonna say any name, no, no, no. Yesterday 0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:04.640 yesterday we cooked. We cooked somebody and we can't cook it. 0:43:04.680 --> 0:43:10.560 We did it for much yesterday. Oh hey, we went 0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:13.120 we went a whole cooking. My guy, and who did 0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:19.279 you cook? Man? Man? We had Toby, Yeah, we cook. 0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:22.200 But yay. All you have to do is look at 0:43:22.280 --> 0:43:25.480 the roster and think about those guys man against Philadelphia 0:43:25.560 --> 0:43:28.520 that disappeared. You did, hey man, It's like you know, 0:43:28.640 --> 0:43:31.560 you got the homeboard. It's always mouthy, that's always talking, 0:43:32.080 --> 0:43:36.120 and then as soon as it go down, milk carton missing, 0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:39.880 you don't know where it is. Right. There is a 0:43:39.960 --> 0:43:42.960 lot of that going on, and I saw that on Sunday, 0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:45.920 and it bothers me. It bothers me about the defense. 0:43:45.960 --> 0:43:49.200 And so therefore I gotta ask you this, guys, after 0:43:49.280 --> 0:43:52.640 that Philadelphia game where you worried, did you have any 0:43:52.760 --> 0:43:56.040 concerns about this defense? Because prior to that, I'm sure 0:43:56.120 --> 0:43:58.400 you thought you had it. This is an elite defense. 0:43:59.080 --> 0:44:01.719 It still is a deal to lead defense. I don't 0:44:01.840 --> 0:44:07.400 have the worries, partially because Philly has built their roster 0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:10.520 to beat one team, and luckily it's been beating some 0:44:10.640 --> 0:44:12.279 other teams. But they built their roster to beat the 0:44:12.400 --> 0:44:15.040 Dallas Cowboys, no doubt in my mind, that's what they've 0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:17.920 done the last couple of years. So the fact that 0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:21.560 they had success against the Dallas Cowboys does not surprise me. 0:44:21.640 --> 0:44:23.400 Even though the defense as good as they are, what 0:44:23.520 --> 0:44:25.360 did they do? They took Michael Parsons out of it, 0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:27.839 and how do they do that? They made him think? 0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:30.960 They made him think rather than play, because then you 0:44:31.040 --> 0:44:32.720 have to sit there and you have to make a decision. 0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:35.640 Do I take Jalen Hurtz, Do I take Miles Sanders, 0:44:35.960 --> 0:44:37.759 or do I drop back into coverage and try and 0:44:37.800 --> 0:44:40.960 defend the past, because there's three different things Michael Parsons 0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:43.920 has to think about rather than in other opportunities. It's 0:44:44.080 --> 0:44:46.799 Seaball hit ball, go Micah he funk, which this week 0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:49.160 it's back to Seaball hit ball, and you're gonna get 0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:51.719 after Dak or excuse me, Jared Goff to get in 0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:55.760 the backfield. That's how you have success with Michael Parsons. 0:44:55.880 --> 0:44:58.720 Or take him out of it, make him think, because 0:44:58.760 --> 0:45:01.600 then he has a step behind. Still a really good player. 0:45:01.640 --> 0:45:03.320 He's still had a solid game, but he didn't have 0:45:03.360 --> 0:45:06.200 a Michael Parsons impact. That's how they won that game, 0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:09.600 as they bullied him by just making them think, and 0:45:09.680 --> 0:45:11.800 then they bullied all the other guys around them because 0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:14.160 there was no success with Michael Parsons. Yeah, yeah, I'm 0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:16.120 not too worried. I'm not too worried. I understand. You 0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:18.480 know what Philly goat that RPO scheme that I mean, 0:45:18.560 --> 0:45:20.319 that's that's a that's a one off scheme you're gonna 0:45:20.320 --> 0:45:22.840 go against and nobody does it as nobody, nobody does it. 0:45:22.840 --> 0:45:24.480 Do what You gotta have a quarterback that's done it 0:45:24.560 --> 0:45:26.080 for years and years, and that's what Hurts has been 0:45:26.120 --> 0:45:28.600 able to do. Um. So you know when next time 0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:31.719 they see Philadelphia, I can see dan Quinn just saying, 0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:33.960 you know what, screw all the thinking, just running hit 0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:36.600 hit Hurts hit every time he does that RPO, just 0:45:36.719 --> 0:45:39.239 running hit him dead in his mouth, and eventually he 0:45:39.680 --> 0:45:41.680 gonna just show it quick gonna. I don't want no 0:45:41.719 --> 0:45:43.840 pieces of that. If you keep lighting that boy up, 0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:45.880 I'm promise you he's gonna man, we ain't gonna run 0:45:45.880 --> 0:45:47.640 an RPO no moreca It's gonna get a quarterback kill 0:45:47.640 --> 0:45:49.960 because you leave in Michael Parsons unblocked. Yes, the only 0:45:49.960 --> 0:45:51.520 reason he didn't get killed because, like you said, he 0:45:51.640 --> 0:45:52.920 was thinking. He was slowing down. All right, what do 0:45:52.960 --> 0:45:55.000 I do here? What do I do here? Dan Quinn? 0:45:55.040 --> 0:45:57.120 I'm sure next time they go against whoever's on that end, 0:45:57.160 --> 0:45:58.960 they're gonna say, if they shown that RPO to you 0:45:59.200 --> 0:46:01.480 don't even think about the runner to pat just go 0:46:01.680 --> 0:46:03.719 straight through Hurts his mouth, and I promise you'll stop 0:46:03.800 --> 0:46:05.640 running it. And they only scored six points in that 0:46:05.760 --> 0:46:08.719 second half for a reason, Dallas made an adjustment and 0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:11.719 they took away the RPO. They definitely did that. Third quarter, 0:46:11.840 --> 0:46:14.120 they had nothing going on the RPO and it allowed 0:46:14.160 --> 0:46:16.560 the offense to find some success. Then what did they do? 0:46:17.120 --> 0:46:19.560 They completely flipped the script Philly did, and in credit 0:46:19.600 --> 0:46:23.280 to them, they ran the dang ball as quickly as possible, 0:46:24.000 --> 0:46:27.239 eleven straight plays, just boom boom boom boom down the 0:46:27.280 --> 0:46:29.279 field and then they were like, oh, guess what, we 0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:31.759 still have this RPO. Yeah, we get it twice and 0:46:31.800 --> 0:46:34.360 they got in the end zone. So it's different. I 0:46:34.440 --> 0:46:36.439 think the adjustment will be made. They have the tape. 0:46:36.520 --> 0:46:39.520 Now wait till Christmas Eve. I think Dallas wins that game. 0:46:39.560 --> 0:46:41.719 I make an early prediction. If everybody stays healthy and 0:46:41.800 --> 0:46:44.400 everything's the same going into that, give me Dallas and 0:46:44.440 --> 0:46:46.239 that one. But this one just did not work out 0:46:46.280 --> 0:46:48.279 in their favorite because Philly came in and had the 0:46:48.360 --> 0:46:50.880 better game plan and the better execution. Yeah, we called it. 0:46:51.160 --> 0:46:53.160 We called for for Micah and the way that he 0:46:53.320 --> 0:46:56.320 played it was paralysis by analysis. I like it, you know, 0:46:56.600 --> 0:46:58.960 and you talked about making him think. It slowed him 0:46:59.040 --> 0:47:01.640 completely down, and the defensive game play came to a 0:47:01.680 --> 0:47:04.440 screeching halt. But guys, this is the moment. This is 0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:06.520 the moment someone is going to jump out of the 0:47:06.600 --> 0:47:09.759 cake and do something controversial. BC, I'm gonna start with you. 0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:12.440 It was happening. What you got? Who are you picking 0:47:12.800 --> 0:47:14.759 on this Sunday? So I gotta keep a big fan 0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:19.160 of DeAndre Swift right, Oh yeah, Jamal Jamal Williams, fan 0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:23.279 of Monra, of Saint Brown, Hakas Tjig go out there. 0:47:23.400 --> 0:47:26.080 But dude, I gotta keep my record, Christine. All right, 0:47:26.120 --> 0:47:29.120 you know I'm leaving everything right now. I'm leaving every Thursday, 0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:31.720 Sunday Monday. I got the best record out of anybody 0:47:31.800 --> 0:47:34.960 on the lounge. Cowboy's gonna win this one handedly. I'm 0:47:35.000 --> 0:47:38.360 going twenty eight to ten, twenty eight. I like that. 0:47:38.600 --> 0:47:42.160 I like that man, all right. Yo. So Dan Campbell 0:47:42.280 --> 0:47:46.960 is from Clifton, Texas, which is about thirty miles northeast 0:47:47.080 --> 0:47:49.360 of my hometown of Waco. I spent a lot of 0:47:49.400 --> 0:47:51.840 time out in Clifton. You had a couple of baseball 0:47:51.920 --> 0:47:54.399 games and stuff out there. I know that town. Well. 0:47:54.719 --> 0:47:56.800 They built they built him good. I like Dan Campbell 0:47:56.840 --> 0:47:59.359 a lot. I think he's got a great mindset, he's 0:47:59.360 --> 0:48:02.359 got a fantas pastic opportunity to to do some good 0:48:02.400 --> 0:48:05.279 in Detroit. I think that good starts later. Though. There's 0:48:05.320 --> 0:48:08.680 no way the Cowboys lose this game at home. They're 0:48:08.680 --> 0:48:11.359 gonna get their guy back. They're gonna win this football game. 0:48:11.400 --> 0:48:13.880 I've got a shirt on that's an inside joke from 0:48:13.920 --> 0:48:18.400 Talking Cowboys that says Tiger milk, Tigers Lions. And then 0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:23.879 the next week the Bears give me the Cowboys. Oh yeah, 0:48:24.880 --> 0:48:28.760 thirty two to thirteen is my final Oh man, it's offense, 0:48:28.880 --> 0:48:31.080 is man? Everybody they get back to thirty I think 0:48:31.080 --> 0:48:33.640 they do. I like that because I'm hey, man, he no, 0:48:33.760 --> 0:48:36.200 guess you'll already know. I mean, I like what you said. 0:48:36.920 --> 0:48:39.319 I believe this is the get right game that we need. 0:48:39.640 --> 0:48:41.640 I believe that this defense is the right amount of 0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:44.640 ticked off about that they the right amount of ticked off, 0:48:44.920 --> 0:48:47.200 and they want to get back to that elite status 0:48:47.480 --> 0:48:50.279 that everyone was talking about. Hey, I'm with you, Kyle. 0:48:50.520 --> 0:48:53.960 To a certain degree, there was some exposure on defense, 0:48:54.120 --> 0:48:58.160 and I think especially Micah doesn't want teams to start 0:48:58.239 --> 0:49:01.000 circling him and saying, oh, pinning the tail on this 0:49:01.160 --> 0:49:03.480 guy right here, because we can slow this whole thing down. 0:49:03.760 --> 0:49:06.439 So I expect for Michael to have a monster game. 0:49:06.680 --> 0:49:09.520 I think dan Quinn moves him all around. I anticipate 0:49:09.560 --> 0:49:12.080 a few picks as well, because your boy Jeric Golf, 0:49:12.160 --> 0:49:13.960 he gets happy feet, he starts burping the baby. He 0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:15.719 does a lot of that stuff in the pocket and 0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:18.600 he will do that in his defense is just not 0:49:19.200 --> 0:49:22.280 very good. So this is the game for Dak Prescott 0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:26.160 to come back. So I'm saying Cowboys thirty one to ten, 0:49:27.000 --> 0:49:29.520 thirty one to ten, that's twenty eight ten. I'm gonna 0:49:29.560 --> 0:49:32.960 thirty one ten right around. Yeah, so we're right there. 0:49:33.239 --> 0:49:38.359 But guys, man kay, well, thank you for coming in. Hey, 0:49:38.640 --> 0:49:40.400 and on Fridays we still do it the same, so 0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:43.879 you might want to take your off jowboy Nay said. 0:49:43.880 --> 0:49:46.880 I hope y'all teen what. This has been a production 0:49:47.040 --> 0:49:50.719 of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
