Yeah. I trying to fire myself. Yeah, and 10 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: I'm still trying to hang it here and do this thing. 11 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: All right, Fellas, you guys are players, so you give 12 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: me your opinions on this right away. Slayter NFL Network 13 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: comes out with a report. It says players are not 14 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: happy with the coaching staff, saying to un prepare Sam, 15 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: they don't know what they're doing. Mike McCarthy came out 16 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: with a quote in the afternoon says it's important for 17 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: us to have those conversations as men, one on one, 18 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: as a group. He went further than that, but that 19 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: was the biggest bulk of what he said. So mccraig, 20 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: you start your thoughts on this, I think that they're 21 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: losing it. You know, we all we already knew this 22 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: about the about the coaching staff, and and I won't 23 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: even I'll take it the farthest to say that. I 24 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: think that some of the players have spoken up about 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: this already to some of the coaches, and they just 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: probably fell on deaf ears. And now they just went 27 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: on ahead and said, all right, you know, forget it, 28 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: since since the ship is going down, I'm gonna let 29 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: him know. It ain't just the players. It's some of 30 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: the stuff that we learned, and these guys don't know 31 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: what the heck they're talking about. So you know, if 32 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: I'm going down, I'm taking them down with me. That 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: that's where I think of that. I think it was. 34 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: I think it was. It was it's a little cowardly 35 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: just to not put your name on it if you're 36 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: gonna say something like that, because there's a lot of 37 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: men in a locker room, and then when you don't 38 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: put your name on it, everybody has to kind of 39 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: like play detective and figure out who it was. So 40 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: I think that sucked about it. But we knew this 41 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: stuff was coming. You know, it's early in the season 42 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: and they played horrible, so it'll be a lot more 43 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: of this stuff coming out later. Yeah, McCray, I mean, look, man, 44 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: the hinges are coming off. Man, the ship is going down, 45 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: you know what it is hitting the fan right now. 46 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: I mean, look, we knew this was gonna come around 47 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: when they started having those player only meetings, the meetings 48 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: that never resolve anything. Man, Me and Danny been a 49 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: part of plenty of those. They don't resolve nothing. All 50 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna get is arguments, and then then you'll get 51 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: to this point where it's like, now it's got to 52 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: be the coach's fault. It can't be our fault. So 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: we knew this was coming all along. And I gotta 54 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: agree with Danny and McCarthy on this one. If you're 55 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: gonna say something like that, if you're gonna put that 56 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: out there, you gotta attach your name to it. I mean, 57 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: you can't be scared and say, oh wait, wait, make 58 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: sure this is anonymous. Hey, this is off the record, 59 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: right and now, if you're gonna say something that big, 60 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: just attach your name to it. It does seem kind 61 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: of cowardly, but for me, we knew this was coming. 62 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: They're falling off the hinges. And if it were one 63 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: of these players, you know that had already went to 64 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: the coaches and they didn't and it fell on death years, 65 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: then then then dinner in a lot more trouble than 66 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: I thought. Because if they're going to these coaches and 67 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: these coaches are just like I, you know, go somewhere 68 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: with all that I don't want to hear any of this, 69 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: then they're in a lot more a lot more damage 70 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: than that we anticipated. But for me, it was kind 71 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: of cowardly to not put your name on there. But 72 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: it's something that I guess needed to be said. I mean, 73 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 1: we see these players, they've been they've been saying early, 74 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: little little chips here and there, early in the in 75 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: the season about how the play call and it's difficult 76 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: or the playbook is difficult, and now it progressed to 77 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: a player's only meeting and now just progressed fully to 78 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: just going to the media and just throwing all the 79 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: coaches under the bus. So for me, like I said, 80 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: it was a little bit cowardly, but if you got 81 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: to do it to perform better, you gotta do what 82 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: you gotta do. Listen and I think it's funny how 83 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: this started. Right. This started off so great, man, this 84 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: is this defense is better, the communication between the coaches 85 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: and the players, everything is so much better than it 86 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: was before. Blah bla blah blah blah. And we six 87 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: weeks in and all of a sudden, none of that 88 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: stuff is none of that stuff is actarly like everything 89 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: is wrong six weeks after that, like it started off with, Man, 90 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 1: this defense is this is gonna be disguising and blah 91 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: blah blah and all this. And you know, I like 92 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: the way McCarthy and this Office of Stats open up 93 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: and you know, and we we got open communications. So 94 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: everybody's on the same page and they are the exact 95 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: opposite of that. I've never seen something so opposite from 96 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 1: what you say then what you put on the field, 97 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: and then now it's the coach's fault. So players, you 98 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: got you got some of this too, because because you 99 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: you were hyping this up and you was on the 100 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: kool aid you at the beginning of the season as well. 101 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: And look, if i'm McCarthy, man, I'm taking these reins 102 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: for play calling. Man, like I'm not. I'm not going 103 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: down without swinging like yeah, y'all, I ain't even to 104 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: just bury me under the bus. And I haven't even 105 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: had a chance to go out there and show y'all 106 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: what I can do. So for me, if i'm McCarthy, 107 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm snatching that playbook. I'm saying, look, Kelly, you just 108 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: weren't performing to what you were doing. You can you 109 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: can still be here. I ain't gonna throw you out 110 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: like that. But as far as your play calling duties, man, 111 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: that's that's that's a rap. You're basically gonna be conformed 112 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: to a quarterback coach. Because if I'm going down like this, 113 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: like the way this ship is going down, I gotta 114 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: be swinging. I gotta be throwing my own plays out there. 115 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: So mccarthur, you better take that script, my boy. So mccraig, 116 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: your initial comments, it just made me go right to 117 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: the court scene when Nino Brown is on the stand 118 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: in New Jack City and he jumps up and he says, 119 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm taking a whole lot of people with me. I 120 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: gotta listen to name. It just feels his boat. You 121 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: have players should say, man, look before I get before 122 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: I had to take a pay cut for this, And 123 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: he said, well, my production is down. I'm gonna go 124 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: ahead and tell you these guys aren't ready. These guys 125 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: aren't preparing you no good. I mean it is just 126 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: I mean the house is burning, man and and and 127 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: while so, so you know your guys, you guys used 128 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: to play with when your former teammate Sean Lee came 129 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: out to that. So Sean Lee spoke and Sean Lee 130 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: said that, you know it's anonymous, nobody put their name 131 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: on it. It's cowardice. And he said that you know, 132 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: these guys had to stick together. He said, there's no 133 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: finger pointing going going on. That was from Sean Lee 134 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: Elliot and that's a bad I might be one of 135 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: the go ahead, go ahead, the back ahead, listen, listen 136 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: before you get to what Zeke said, because because that's 137 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: more relevant than this. This is this is a problem 138 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: that I see here. Why are they asking and hearing 139 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: from somebody who has not played the entire season, is 140 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: not on the field. It does not make any sense 141 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: that this is the guy that you're leaning on to 142 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: say this. You know we're sticking together. You ain't even 143 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: played all year. This is from this stuff should be 144 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: coming from Jalen. These are the only people that that 145 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: we really should be hearing from on issues like this 146 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: because Sean Lee ain't on the field. He hasn't been 147 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: in there running none of these plays. He hasn't been 148 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: you know, in the fire yet you know, no offense 149 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: to him. He just has not been healthy enough to 150 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: get out there. So him speaking on it to me 151 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: is irrelevant. Now when you when you move on to Zeke, 152 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: that makes more sense to me. But the fact that 153 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: the defense and the player, it's a leaning on somebody 154 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: who hasn't even been on the field yet, it doesn't 155 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: make sense. And that's a huge issue. What does Zeke saying? Okay, well, 156 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: actually actually let me let let me if I get 157 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: to Zeke, let me just read you the whole Sean 158 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: Lee comment. Okay, Sean Lee says, quote, first thing I 159 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: think with anonymous sources, you you never really can take 160 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: them serious. First, they don't put their name on it. Second, 161 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: you don't know if the person is in the room 162 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: or not in the room. Maybe they were, maybe they 163 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: are not. Now sometimes you don't know if it's through 164 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: a secondhand source, maybe it's a player, maybe the players, 165 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: or maybe it's coming from the player's anation. You just 166 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: can't speculate, so you have to just say listen, the 167 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: consensus in our locker room with our defense right now 168 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: is that we all need to work hard, we all 169 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: need to improve. There's no pointing fingers. The only way 170 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: out of this is to keep faith in each other, 171 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: and we have that faith. So, like I said, anything anonymous, 172 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: we're not going to worry about that. Somebody won't put 173 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: their name on it so big, but we know the group, 174 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: we're sticking together. We know we need to improve, and 175 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: we're going to continue to stick together and do that. 176 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: That's from sean we we we we we we ain't 177 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: that something that sounds like listen, if somebody slapped me, 178 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm not giving them no excuse. All right, listen, you 179 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: slapped me now. I don't know why he slapped me. 180 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: I don't know who told him to. If he did 181 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: it on his own accord, none of that. Bro. Somebody 182 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: said something we know James Slay or nothing. No, she's 183 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: not no idiot. Somebody in there, one of the players 184 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: said this, and it goes and it ties into everything 185 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: that everybody is seeing outside looking in. So this all fits, 186 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: it all comes together. So this is no you know 187 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: somebody agent saying it, or somebody outside the room saying this. 188 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: Ain't that. Somebody in the locker room said that he 189 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: knows it and he ain't playing. So they need to 190 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: go in there and figure out who it was and 191 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: let them know this ain't how we do stuff. Find 192 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: you a leader on the team and let them address that. 193 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: I mean, he's saying all the right things, though he's 194 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: saying basically a little somebody did say this because he 195 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: said that. You know, look whoever did say it, it 196 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: was anonymous, and you know it was cowardice for them 197 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: not to put their name behind it. So look, I 198 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: mean he's saying all the right stuff. He's saying they 199 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: need to stick together. There can't be any pointing fingers, 200 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: which I know poor a fact is is just a 201 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: lot talk about there's no point, but there's definitely pointing 202 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: going on. You can see it on the field when 203 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: people are looking like, man, what is this guy? You're 204 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: supposed to have my help? So you if they're pointing 205 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: on the field, you know they're pointing in the locker room. 206 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: But I'll give Sewan this man, he is up on 207 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: the fane leader and you know, once he gets back 208 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: on the field. You know, he'll probably have more you know, 209 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: credit to to his words out here saying what he's saying, 210 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: and hopefully he can get on this field and help 211 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: this team. But for me, I mean, he's saying all 212 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: the right stuff, but until we see it on the field, man, 213 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: it's just gonna go on death ears. Absolutely, they need 214 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: him on the field. They need a leader. He's their leader. 215 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: The only thing that's difficult about that is you're not 216 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: on the field at the time, so and we've been 217 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: in a lot of room with that, you know, with 218 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: stuff like that, like hey man, you're just not you're 219 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: not out here to see what's really going on, like 220 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: you seeing it from the sideline. You hearing people complain 221 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: about it. You've got a different perspective than what we 222 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: have when we on the field. And what makes this 223 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: worse is it's a double winding. Your coaches are apparently 224 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: are not good and your players aren't playing hard like, 225 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: so it's both in them. So they can point all 226 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: the fingers that they want to. They have something in 227 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: this as well, and all of it ain't coaching. So 228 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: this is just a dumpster fire right now. All right, Yeah, understand, 229 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: So you know Sean Lee reference. If it's one person, 230 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy talked about one person, it's James Slater. Did 231 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: not quote one player. She quoted several. Okay, so it's 232 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: at least two. At least two. I know this because 233 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: I talked to her. So it's not just one person 234 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: that came forward and said, hey, this is a problem. 235 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: There's several players who have problems right now. So it's 236 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: not just one guy. It's a few dudes in the 237 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: locker room that have issues with this coaching staff right now. Now. 238 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: Let me ask you, Okay, go ahead, Dan, I said, 239 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: you listen. The truth is, we can say whatever we 240 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: want to. You can't not have a problem at this 241 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: point in the season. So it's just I think it's 242 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: crazy with somebody they say that, you know, we don't 243 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: know who it is or it's not a play. All 244 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: of them should have a problem, and somebody says something 245 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: they just didn't put their name on. I just want 246 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: to put that there. I know I wouldn't in the 247 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: locker room listening, but I'm willing to bet my house 248 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: that it's somebody that's currently in the locker room that 249 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: said this. Some people, a group of people, and I 250 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: guarantee you, and I guarantee you. The reason they ain't 251 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: put their name behind it is because they probably wanted 252 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: to cats out there playing just as bad, talking about 253 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: they can't they can't coach nothing. Man if I had 254 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: a good coach, i'd be more productive. No, no, man, 255 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: it ain't. If I had to get all that, I 256 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: tell that right now. If I had to guess, it's 257 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: the secondary because they all played the worst, never saying 258 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: the second. If if it's I hope it ain't Daryll Warley, 259 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. I hope it's not him, 260 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: because look, I looked at that play one more tack 261 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: because it would just made me so like mad just 262 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: looking at it. And they're in cover three. Why are 263 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: you two yards in front of the guy who's the 264 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: hook curled defender and the guy that's catching the balls 265 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: a smooth ten in front of you. It just blows 266 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: my mind. He's like a seven year vet. So I mean, no, 267 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: don't get me started on Daryl Worley and it's Terry Poe. 268 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: This will happened when you don't put your name on that. 269 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: That's why this is why I'm so cowardly to do 270 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: it because everybody on the outside has to go and 271 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: try to guess and figure it out. And maybe it's 272 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: this person, baby as that person. So you as a 273 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: teammate have put your your team, your other teammates in 274 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: a position to where some people can't even trust if 275 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: it's them or not. Like you look looking at people 276 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: sideways like, I don't know if he said we know 277 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: he played like trash, yes, Solay, so maybe it was him. 278 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: We heard him getting the argument was so and so, 279 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: like you just don't know, and that's what makes it 280 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: such a big issue within the locker room because you 281 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: just have no idea who it is, so you don't 282 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: know who you can trust in there. And then now 283 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: when you're going on the field, if you're going on 284 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: the field, somebody messes up and makes a bad play 285 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: and you see him all frustrated it. Oh, he was 286 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: probably the one that did it. Was pointing at the fingers. 287 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a slippery slope you're going down right now. 288 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: Sean Lee did say that Mike McCarthy spoke to the 289 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: team and then he told the team if anybody has 290 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: some concern something they want to talk about, to come 291 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: see him. So Mike McCarthy did address it with his football. 292 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: That's what That's what I'm talking about. Many saying with 293 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: your chest, tell them boys, hey look man, if y'all 294 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: got a problem with me saying with your chest, man, 295 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: and I assume nobody said nothing. No, everybody just went 296 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: quiet and start looking down like Man, I didn't say that. 297 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: I didn't say it. Man, Yeah, that ain't that was 298 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: That was kind of coward, me, Man, that was coward. 299 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: Now I did a little cold around, got a little 300 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: got some got some folks get back to me a 301 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: little bit here. And I heard that they are trying 302 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: to find out who is it? Who are the people? No, 303 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: that is, they're trying to smoke out who who in 304 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: the heck gave so so now some worry. There's a 305 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: worry around the Star. I don't know if mister Jones 306 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: is out here trying to get it, but they're trying 307 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: to find out who is it? Who is it? The 308 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: way to say, we ain't worried about so now we 309 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: ain't worried about the Washington football team this week coming up. 310 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: We're worried about who's snitches. See we all over the place. Now, Man, 311 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: if we go out there and lois against Washington. We 312 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: ain't got to worry about who's snitching. The whole team 313 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: about to get blown up. So y'all but focus on 314 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: if you're smart and you in that locker room, you 315 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: will stay the hicc away from James Slayer. You wouldn't 316 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: even make it look like you got any type of 317 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: relationship with her, and you don't want nobody to know 318 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: it with you because anybody that she talked to is 319 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: now a suspect. Well but here and now here's the 320 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: thing on that, Danny. Remember you can't get near the player, 321 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: so there's no locker room access, so nobody's seen somebody's 322 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: reaching out your reporters, right, So so this can be 323 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: done right now. I mean you you know you're not 324 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: gonna see anybody talking quote unquote talking to Jane. I mean, 325 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: this is right now, is just done electronically.

But he was a little 491 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: aread as far as his passes were going early in 492 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: the first half. So for me, I'm gonna go Seattle 493 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson pools this one out. They come back 494 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: from the bye, Chris Carson gets things rolling. I'm gonna 495 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 1: go Seattle with a big victory thirty one to seventeen. Okay, 496 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is a three point favorite on the road 497 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: at Las Vegas. On the road, Vegas is coming off 498 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: a huge victory and against Kansas City. My boy Jeff 499 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: Heath had a pick, So you know what, I'm gonna 500 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: go Vegas twenty seven, twenty four. All right, Vegas defending 501 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: the home turf. And my final pick here, Chicago is 502 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: at the La Rams and the Rams are a five 503 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: and a half point favorite against the Bearers. Ah, there's 504 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: no way they're gonna cover the spread. You know what, 505 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: I got Nicky Foles and the Chicago Bears. They get 506 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: this momentum Roll in his defense, is playing great right now. 507 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: I got Nicky Foles and the Bears with a twenty 508 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: one to fourteen victory, actually not twenty one to seventeen 509 00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: victory over the Rams.

You got that kid, Chase Young, 601 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: their first round pick was taking a second overall, you 602 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: got Ryan Carrigan, who just became the all time sack 603 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: leader in Washington history. Um, yeah, you got the other 604 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: big boy from Alabama, Jonathan Allen. So I'm going to 605 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: just give you the opportunity again as three and a 606 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: half over Washington. What do you want to stay where 607 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: you are before? What you what you want to do? 608 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: Don't let new It, don't let Newly talk you into 609 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: this church, all right, stick with your officsive line. The 610 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: offensive line is not the reason that we've been getting loose, 611 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: that we've been getting blown out and losing these games. 612 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: All right, that is not the reason. But if you 613 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: want to just base it on the officive line, to 614 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: go ahead, you are no stre Domas. I just figured 615 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: I just look my two cents in. Look, they do 616 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: call me no stre Domas for a reason. You know, 617 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: the streets. The streets name me that. You know, I 618 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: didn't just give myself that. That's not just self, of course, 619 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: you know, the streets gave me his name. But I'm 620 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: sticking with it, man, I'm sticking with the boys, even 621 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: though Brandon Knights. How hopefully Zach Martin can get out 622 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: of concussion protocol. What's going on with these injuries? Man? 623 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,479 Speaker 1: This is wow. I don't think we've ever seen an 624 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: injury bug hit like this, it's ridiculous Church Church. I'm okay, 625 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: that's fine, you can stick. But once again, it's say 626 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: three and a half point sprint, so four basically four points. 627 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: You sure you don't want to go ahead and maybe 628 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: say it's a two point game, a real close game here, 629 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: because yeah, you still think in twenty eight seventeen, I 630 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: do not believe in Kyle or Kyle what's his name, 631 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen. I don't believe in him. Um, you know 632 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If you know, Alex Smith is a 633 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: great feel good story, but you know, hey, I don't 634 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: believe in him either. And we all know what they 635 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: got in Dwayne Haskin. So for me, I got to 636 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: the boys, man, I gotta stick with them. Okay, you 637 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: gotta win their first roll game of the year. I 638 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: don't know. They got Gibson, they got McLaren, they got 639 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: they got to receive and running back, and those are 640 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: the two things that killed us all seasons. So I'm 641 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: just I'm just a little worried. But my PICKU come Friday, 642 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:20,240 Speaker 1: go ahead? My bad, no balance, my bad, okay, An, 643 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to give you a little bit of 644 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: help here because because the offensive line is definitely so 645 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: once again, okay, throw out here. Once again, you're talking 646 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: about a strong point for Washington and then you're looking 647 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: at a weak point for Dallas that it is about 648 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 1: to get weaker. We haven't seen Cam Irving play all year, 649 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: so yeah, maybe Cam does go out there left tackle. 650 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: I thought Mickey brought up a real good point. No 651 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: matter who they put out of left tackle, they better 652 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: roll out. Blake Bell are tight end to go out 653 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: there and help them, because this is going to be 654 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: a challenge. This is going to be a challenge trying 655 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,919 Speaker 1: to face Chase Young and Ryan Carrigan. And we saw 656 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: Andy Don't running for wars life last week against Arizona, 657 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, nobody in this Arizona d line is 658 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: gonna end up in a name to the Pro Bowl. 659 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: They're not gonna play the game this year, but they 660 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: are gonna come with the Pro Bowl list. But it's 661 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: it's that kind of it's that kind of thing that's 662 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: going off for the Cowboys right now. But hey, Vegas 663 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: says they're favorite boy three and a half. You got 664 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: confidence in him. That's fine. I just want to make 665 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: sure right through that out there that it's more offensive 666 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: line issues for the Cowboys when it comes to injuries 667 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,240 Speaker 1: and where this team is going to. Andy Dualt certainly 668 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: did not look comfortable against the against Arizona. You got 669 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: Jack del Rio, who's the defensive coordinator for Washington. Of course, 670 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 1: they're head coach or a Ron rivera long time you know, 671 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: a long time defensive mind who played on the eighty 672 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: five Bears. So I'm thinking they're gonna be sitting in 673 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: the house all game long at the Cowboys. So I 674 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: expect so well, I expect a close game. I expect 675 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: a close football game because you got two two offenses 676 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: that haven't to struggling. But I expect a close, close 677 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: football game. But hey, I got Terry McLaurin, got Terry 678 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: McLaurin this weekend. I put them in the starting like 679 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: them based off what Christian Kirk did for me last week. 680 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: So we'll go ahead and go right there. Now. I 681 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: did talk earlier about Zeke Elliott and then let me 682 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: make sure I understand put in what he had to 683 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: say about the players anonymously calling out coaches. Zeke said, cool, 684 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: we not We need to try to keep that kind 685 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: of stuff in the house. Everyone look in the mirror, 686 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: see what's going on. Fix that will be better. So 687 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: that's from Zekiel Elliott about guys who are unhappy with 688 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: the coaches. I think it's gotta be one of these. 689 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: I think it's gotta be one of the one of 690 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: the premier players that I think dropped this. Dropped this 691 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: tidbit to James Later because look, I mean, like you said, 692 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: you can't see the players or anything like that, so 693 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: this gotta be you know, through a text or through 694 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: some type of communication like that. And to be honest, 695 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: I don't see you know, James Later just hitting up 696 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: you know, my boy c J. Goodwin or something like 697 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,439 Speaker 1: that to get facts about the team. So I think 698 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: it's somebody the premier leaked this out to the media. 699 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be ugly when you do find out 700 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: who it was. Hold on, don't see. C J is 701 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: one of our premier players, all right, We've said for 702 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, So don't don't don't downplay 703 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: him like that. CJ is one of my bad players. 704 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: He is top. He's one of the top players on 705 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: the squad. So maybe James Slatter did, but you know, 706 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: us supposed to people. We don't do that type of stuff. 707 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: We keeping in house. So I apologize, j So Church, 708 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: it could be somebody who has a lesser contract and 709 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: a small contract. It gotta be Oh, he gotta, That's 710 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: what I thought. He said. Now listen, he he he 711 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,439 Speaker 1: hasn't been active long enough. Man. He only he only, 712 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: he only has to deal with this for two games. 713 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 1: The dumpster fire hasn't really sent him on fire year. 714 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 1: So it's not him. It's not him, all right. You 715 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: think it's somebody on a defense, absolutely, I absolutely think 716 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: it's somebody to be. I think it's somebody. I think 717 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: it's somebody in the second They are literally playing the worst. 718 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,399 Speaker 1: If you think about who looks the most confused out 719 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: there and is making the most mistakes, it is the secondary. 720 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 1: So when you talking about not being not being prepared, 721 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 1: I know the dbs look bad, but to me, the 722 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 1: defensive line looks just as bad. I mean, we we 723 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,399 Speaker 1: saw Kenyan Drake, who had a pedestrian year, come in here, 724 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: roll up one hundred and sixty four yards. There was 725 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty one yards gained by Arizona. Cleveland 726 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: ran for three or seven. We don't see college teams 727 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: run for three h seven anymore. Man, I mean this 728 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: d is just terrible bold. No, but I'm gonna I'm 729 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: gonna base off what was said, though, confused they're getting outplayed, 730 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: making more investments. Yeah, you're making more adjustins in the 731 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 1: back end than you would in the in the front 732 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: end side. Yeah all right, but now now let's let's 733 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: make sure we get distracted that. Who else was complaining 734 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: earlier in the year about you know, ever Griffin talking 735 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: about he wanted to be he didn't like, he didn't 736 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: like playing standing up take lords, talking about how he 737 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: was getting sold with me. You know you got that 738 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: right there too. That's not confusing. It's not confusing you 739 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: standing up at the two point and get into three point. 740 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: It's not confusing on defense or nothing to do it 741 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: confusing or preparation. When you can't pass out man and 742 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: man bus routes, and when you can't play covering three 743 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,240 Speaker 1: and keep your eyes out of the backfielding and decide 744 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: who's supposed to be deep and who supposed to be short, 745 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: those are confusing things on defense when people say they 746 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: unprepared and they're not really teaching the technique, right, whatever, 747 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: Griffin said, you know when you said thirty thirty snacks 748 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: one time, that there's nothing confusing about that, nothing at all. 749 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,839 Speaker 1: Put your hand in the ground and rush the pass 750 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: or stop the run, either one. So let me ask 751 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 1: wash Let me ask this question here is when you 752 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 1: get ready to wrap up the show to both of you. 753 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: Gonna start with you, mccraig, do you have faith Mike 754 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 1: McCarthy can squash these issues and write this ship with 755 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 1: this locker room mccraig, go, hold on, hold on before 756 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,799 Speaker 1: you go, before you go New Year. You're gonna answer 757 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: this question as well. Yes, if you want me too, sure, Yes, yes, 758 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: we were. We were liking answer this question. So I'm 759 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: gonna make it. I'm gonna make it quick. The only 760 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 1: way that Bike winccard. They can't get this straight is 761 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: if somebody gets fired, and I'm talking about on the 762 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: coaching staff. You have to find out what is going on, 763 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: and you have to be man enough to say, look, 764 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: we made a mistake in X Y Z area and 765 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna fire this guy. And I'm letting you I'm 766 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 1: letting you players know that I'm with you guys, because 767 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 1: if you side with the coaches over the players that 768 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: you have a very very big issue, and you know 769 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: the coaching. It's not like you're gonna be missing anohing 770 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: if you fire a guy anyway that they're already not 771 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: playing worth nothing, and they're confused and not hustling. So 772 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: fire somebody. I think he can get it back on there. 773 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: Snatched the play calling from Keller Moore, he'll be all right. 774 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,839 Speaker 1: Sounds about right to me. Man. I think he can 775 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: write the ship because I'm picking him to pick Washing 776 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: or beat Washington, so I think they can write the ship. 777 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: Plus this division is down right garbage, so I think 778 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: they can do it. But like mcrais said, he got 779 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 1: to snatch that play calling sheet. If he's gonna go down, 780 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 1: go down swinging with your own calls and your own plays, 781 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: and hopefully he can write this ship. Man, But I 782 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: think he. I think he'll be able to. So let 783 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: me let me just throw this out here. When you 784 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: talk about snatching the play sheet, Now, if you snatch 785 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: the play sheet the way you're Mike McCarthy and and 786 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,280 Speaker 1: you don't see any results, and you don't see something better, 787 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 1: that doesn't make you look good. So do I Okay, 788 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking from a purely selfish standpoint. So if 789 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: I take this play sheet, I'm losing left tackle Brandon Knight, 790 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: who and I'm gonna put out somebody and left tackle 791 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 1: who hadn't played it all year long. I don't have 792 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,760 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Do I really want to snatch play calling? 793 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: And I've got this, I'm so shorthanded, I'm so sure 794 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: I just go ahead and let Kendell More handle that 795 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: whole thing. No, man, I see what you're just saying. 796 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: You're trying to switch this cambo around that you're not 797 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 1: gonna go this one man. As the question, do you 798 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: think he can write this ship? No? All right, you 799 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: say so. He can't. He can't get the locker room intact, 800 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 1: whatever it is now, it's just gonna it's gonna stay 801 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: the same one. It's gonna get worse. He can't get 802 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: this stuff under control. And from your own mouth, if 803 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: you was him, you wouldn't because we look so bad 804 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: right now. You don't want to take any credit for 805 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 1: how how much worse we could look if you can't 806 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 1: turn this thing around. First, Okay, if I'm taking the 807 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: play calls, that means I think I can do a 808 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: better job. Can you do a better job with what 809 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: you have. Yes, the carpenter still needs tools. I don't 810 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 1: know if you can with the way this offensive line 811 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: goes I don't see it as far as it's lots 812 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 1: of stuff goes on. Let me see. Here's why I 813 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 1: don't see it getting fixed because clearly Mike Nolan and 814 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: what he's doing, it's not working. Mike Nolan is his guy. 815 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 1: Mike Nolan hired him as his offensive coordinator when he 816 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: was a head coach of San Franco. So they're sitting 817 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,840 Speaker 1: up here replaying, you know, paying a favorite back. Jerry 818 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: Jones said, I got no problem with Mike. Mike's okay 819 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,919 Speaker 1: with me, And McCarthy is sitting up here saying he's 820 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: good with Nolan as well. So if your players are 821 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: down on this defensive coordinator and you're gonna stand by it, 822 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,800 Speaker 1: that means you're basically telling the players they're all crazy. 823 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: They need to go ahead and figure it out. So 824 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 1: it's not gonna get fixed in my opinion that I 825 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 1: find it. Let me tell you, let me let me 826 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: get you just one example. For a while, mccarthur just 827 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: snatched the play sheet and take responsibility for what's going 828 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: on offense. All right, if you watch I think it 829 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 1: was the Cleveland game when Umari Cooper scored his touchdown 830 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: and Andrew Sendejo should have picked that ball and took 831 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 1: it back and took it back the other way. We 832 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: are all looking like, man, that could have been a pick. 833 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: If you watched the play that Buddha Baker made and 834 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: he made the interception, it is the exact same play. 835 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 1: So if you couple that with defenses being able to 836 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: know exactly what you're gonna do and when you're gonna 837 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: do it, and then you're also from the outside looking 838 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,280 Speaker 1: at me, you're not running the ball, you're not featuring 839 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 1: your top players. They have a serious problem here, and 840 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: I think that Mike McCarthy he can't do any worse. 841 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 1: And him, as the head coach and the guy that 842 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 1: you hired to change this thing around, you should have 843 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 1: to take that responsibility no matter no matter what happens 844 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: with it. That is your job. You are the head coach. 845 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,839 Speaker 1: All right, Well, gentlemen, it's fifteen after that is our 846 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: show tomorrow.
