Speaker 1: I got a list of stuff that new he just
Speaker 1: doesn't like. Yeah, so it's getting long long. Don't forget life, man,
Speaker 1: don't forget anymore. For some reason, I don't understand it.
Speaker 1: That's like a colt right there. I don't understand it.
Speaker 1: Tara Owens, don't forget him now, Tarole Owens, get your
Speaker 1: get me lost already? Lofting is up there? Yo. Oh yes, yes,
Speaker 1: me and mister get your We we don't have a
Speaker 1: good relationship. Boy, we didn't don't have a good relationship. See,
Speaker 1: I gotta hear something about that. Ain't those stories. You
Speaker 1: can tell us. You know what, Man, Well, that dude
Speaker 1: is different. That's a different dude. Man, How do you
Speaker 1: feel about how you feel about ice Cube? When I
Speaker 1: was younger, I loved Cube man. Whenever he came back
Speaker 1: before you guys were born. Man, when que came out
Speaker 1: with something man that was that was it, I was like,
Speaker 1: I gotta get gotta get him on the cassette, Man,
Speaker 1: gotta get that cassett. I remember when when he left
Speaker 1: n WA and and they ended up. You know, everybody
Speaker 1: was kind of down and on Cube by side with Qube,
Speaker 1: but I was on team Qube. Man like man a
Speaker 1: cube if Cube says it's not right and and things
Speaker 1: aren't gonna boom. So I used to be a cute
Speaker 1: guy and then you grow up and you get older
Speaker 1: and you start to think for yourself. So when people
Speaker 1: came out against ice Cube here in the past couple
Speaker 1: of days, I had to beat the man up. You
Speaker 1: think what you want to think. But it's funny because
Speaker 1: somebody sent me some stuff. Who you know, one of
Speaker 1: my long time friends is big Trump supporter. He sends
Speaker 1: me stuff on ice Cube, And I said, look at
Speaker 1: my age a celebrity's not going to influence me on anything.
Speaker 1: I said for the people to believe in ice Cube fun,
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna beat ice Cube up. He's entitled
Speaker 1: to his own opinion, and I want to get us
Speaker 1: to do you wait, listen. So so when it first
Speaker 1: came out, you know, just just just the clearer. So
Speaker 1: when it first came out, you know, I saw everybody
Speaker 1: comment on and I was like, man, I know ice Cube,
Speaker 1: you know not. He not telling us to go one
Speaker 1: way or another. So I ran into it a little bit.
Speaker 1: I haven't, like, did deep research on it. He's not
Speaker 1: telling anybody to vote for one party or another. He's
Speaker 1: essentially he's trying to negotiate with both parties. So whoever
Speaker 1: win has to he's trying to hold them accountable to say, hey, look,
Speaker 1: you made this deal with me in Black America, so
Speaker 1: now you gotta stick to it. So he just he
Speaker 1: just heads in his bets on both sides. That's what
Speaker 1: it sounds like to me. So I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: all away against ice Cube on this one. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: If entertainers don't don't don't make policy, Okay, I mean
Speaker 1: that's the thing That's why I just kind of laugh
Speaker 1: about is that celebrities. Okay, the ice cube is not
Speaker 1: gonna be getting with senators out here making policy on anything.
Speaker 1: He consider up here and say hey, look this is
Speaker 1: what I like to see done, and they're like, oh, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: thank you. Okay, But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: these things are done by by people in Congress and
Speaker 1: and folks in DC and bureaucrats, and he's a celebrities,
Speaker 1: not a bureaucrat. So um, you know, that's why I
Speaker 1: just I just haven't heard it. That's the point. I
Speaker 1: just let her roll off a back. That's this point.
Speaker 1: He's like, we keep, we keep both of these people,
Speaker 1: and they and you know, we haven't made them promise
Speaker 1: us anything, you know, concrete. So my objective is to
Speaker 1: make them promise of something. So when they do lie,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's out there. You can see that
Speaker 1: they said they were going to do X, Y and
Speaker 1: Z and none of this stuff got done. So he's
Speaker 1: just trying to put them on the spot. My opinion
Speaker 1: for what he's trying to do, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody can feel their own way about it. But I'm
Speaker 1: not mad at at Queah. Good luck trying to keep
Speaker 1: politicians to their own words. I mean we you know
Speaker 1: the sports talk. We didn't look sports all the time.
Speaker 1: Good luck keeping coaches and executives to their own words.
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought somebody once said when they got
Speaker 1: when they got hired, that it was going to be
Speaker 1: players over scheme. That's that's what I remember being told
Speaker 1: at a press conference. And then I look at the
Speaker 1: defense and I see a scheme, and then for the players.
Speaker 1: So we hear folks say things all the time, and
Speaker 1: you say whole folks accountable. People are rarely held accountable.
Speaker 1: I thought that was getting paid. I mean, I said,
Speaker 1: somebody saying they really care about them, They're gonna make
Speaker 1: sure they take care of them. It's been a couple
Speaker 1: of years. You know, we're in a whole reelection at
Speaker 1: this point. Well you ain't, though, we shall we shall see,
Speaker 1: we shall see, you know. Okay, So so McCray, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna send you something I had an agent send me
Speaker 1: about Todd Franz. Remember we talked before about how he
Speaker 1: had the three guys all on franchise tags, which included
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, and none of those guys got signed I'm
Speaker 1: gonna send you something he said, it's pretty pretty interesting,
Speaker 1: which flows along the lines of what we had talked
Speaker 1: I had talked about earlier this week. So I'll send
Speaker 1: it to you offline so you could check it out.
Speaker 1: And it kind of, you know what, some of the
Speaker 1: things I said, It kind of volidifies some of those things.
Speaker 1: So let's let's we'll die for that, but let's Todd
Speaker 1: Francis TYR France on the list. Todd Francis on your
Speaker 1: list too, All right, that's another I'm just I'm just
Speaker 1: getting the check list. Toyd Francis on your list of people.
Speaker 1: When you do that list is getting along man that listen.
Speaker 1: I want to know. I want to know who got
Speaker 1: knwy on their list because knew he got a lot
Speaker 1: of cats on his list. I want to know who's
Speaker 1: over there, like you know what this dude knew He
Speaker 1: ain't No, I just want to know who got that
Speaker 1: t o to He don't like me, Pran don't like me,
Speaker 1: Prime Time don't like No. No, Prime doesn't like me.
Speaker 1: Prime doesn't like me. Oh that's another story, because Prime
Speaker 1: like everybody. Man, I don't know, I don't know, man problem. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Prime got mad. Prime got Prime got mad when
Speaker 1: when they had pac Man Jones signed and he was
Speaker 1: dealing with pac Man, and so he was telling us
Speaker 1: we all had to call him Adam, but he was
Speaker 1: still referred to himself as pat Man. And I was like, Man, no,
Speaker 1: I'm called pac Man. If he is calling himself pac Man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna called pac Man just because you're trying to
Speaker 1: tell me to tell him to call him Adam. No.
Speaker 1: So he didn't like that. And then another time Prime
Speaker 1: had um a couple of guys who under arm. It
Speaker 1: was Crabtree, it was another player, I think it was
Speaker 1: Brandon Williams who might have been with the Cowboys, and
Speaker 1: another guy. So he So it was a press conference
Speaker 1: and and we're there, you know, basically you were here
Speaker 1: to talk to Michael Crabtree, Dallas Carter's own Texas check
Speaker 1: and it was two other dudes, and Dean was trying
Speaker 1: to tell us that we needed to interview the other guys.
Speaker 1: Now here's one thing about doing TV work that I've
Speaker 1: gone through during the years. You try not to interview
Speaker 1: people that you will never use anything with them. You
Speaker 1: try not to and you also don't want people dictating
Speaker 1: me you how you should do your job, and so
Speaker 1: Prime is tell us down, we need you need to
Speaker 1: interview this guy here, this guy there. We're like no, no,
Speaker 1: and he's trying to make us do it. And it
Speaker 1: was just kind of one of those things we were
Speaker 1: back and forth, like to come on. But also during
Speaker 1: the years, Prime does not like the local guys. So
Speaker 1: I'll give you a good example of Prime and his
Speaker 1: disdain for us, the local Dallas meeting. He makes it
Speaker 1: it too the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And this
Speaker 1: is the year that they had it the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: here in North Texas. And so Dion was coaching his
Speaker 1: youth team, which I've always had a tremendous amount of
Speaker 1: respect for him, and he gives he definitely get the
Speaker 1: time to the kids. So Prime gets the call he's
Speaker 1: made it into the Hall of Fame. He comes to
Speaker 1: the hotel and Dad's had Dallas. He's still in his
Speaker 1: coach's gear, and so Prime ends up run through the hotel,
Speaker 1: goes up on the set, does the interview with Rich
Speaker 1: Eyes and everybody for NFL Network. Now, of course all
Speaker 1: of us here locally are waiting and wanting to talk
Speaker 1: to Deon Sander's back getting to Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: He ignored us, walked right out. It was like, no,
Speaker 1: I got no time for you guys. I'm like okay,
Speaker 1: all right, oh go, okay, there you go. That was
Speaker 1: Prime and Prime just had no time for us. And
Speaker 1: it was another time. It was a Super bowls in
Speaker 1: Houston and Prime gave an interview with Mike Doocey, and
Speaker 1: so I came up to also interview him, and Dion
Speaker 1: looked at me like yeah, I'm talking to him, like
Speaker 1: you know, you go away, and like okay, So Prime
Speaker 1: is not a fan of mine. So those are those
Speaker 1: are the things that I can kind of tick off
Speaker 1: that I know Prime to like. Oh oh and and
Speaker 1: probably one more, probably one war. We were doing what's
Speaker 1: called a satellite interview, So Dian was doing that that
Speaker 1: show with his wife then Polar the reality show. Oh
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. So I asked him, I SLF, why are
Speaker 1: you doing this? And I said, you do realize that
Speaker 1: how these shows usually end. They usually ended divorce Hogan's
Speaker 1: nose best. We've seen the passion, you know, Christian and
Speaker 1: Bruce like these things don't end well, and he was
Speaker 1: like no, no, it's gonna be fine, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: this thing's going in well, this is not gonna end well,
Speaker 1: And I was right. I don't think probably appreciated that either.
Speaker 1: I'm saying saying, now, dude, it's not gonna end well,
Speaker 1: hey knew it, knew it knew he listen. I know
Speaker 1: you probably can't see this, but if anybody's ever seen
Speaker 1: training day when they was they had zoomed in on
Speaker 1: Denzel Washington in the rearview mirror they had, they were
Speaker 1: just showing his teeth and his mouth moved. Someone is
Speaker 1: going on with Church's camera right now and he's camera,
Speaker 1: what do you do? But I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying that you see, Chris Beef
Speaker 1: can help me out. But for some reason, my camera
Speaker 1: just keep zooming in on my lips. Bro, and I'm
Speaker 1: I'm but it's out of my it's out of my
Speaker 1: you know realm. I'm sitting here just talking, just listening
Speaker 1: and next thing I know, my camera just zooms in
Speaker 1: on my lips. Man, it must be then iPad, I
Speaker 1: got a good picture. You know, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: I'll work with it. Man, I don't know. Thanks for
Speaker 1: pointing that out. D mac. You know what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: let a start, let a start to the show. Let
Speaker 1: a start to the show. At the time for our
Speaker 1: first break yet, I mean we got we got, we
Speaker 1: got three minute, we had three minutes, three minutes. I'll
Speaker 1: give you. I'll give you a couple more. Don here,
Speaker 1: give a couple more dns. So the first time I
Speaker 1: ever interviewed Dion, I was working in South Carolina. Dion
Speaker 1: was with the Braids, and Dion had recently had some
Speaker 1: issues with the media, and he was mad and he
Speaker 1: was telling me. He's like, I'm not doing anyterviews. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So then we're just talking. He said, it's not all cameras.
Speaker 1: I said, no, not on camera at all. But he
Speaker 1: did not want to do an interview, and so I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, so you know, Dion, you know this,
Speaker 1: Dion is not happy with the media and that includes
Speaker 1: me and everybody else. So I left him on. So
Speaker 1: then the next time I ended up seeing Don I
Speaker 1: was my second TV job. I was working at Austin
Speaker 1: and I was there in um Houston interviewing some of
Speaker 1: the Reds and I was talking to Barry Larkin because
Speaker 1: Barry had a little brother, Steven, who played the University
Speaker 1: of Texas. So I used to hang out with Steve
Speaker 1: all the time. And I knew Barry and and I
Speaker 1: know Barry from from my first TV job. And I
Speaker 1: was interviewing and it dealt with another one's player, so
Speaker 1: Brett Barry and I was cool. And so I ended
Speaker 1: up talking to um Umdon and I said, hey, can
Speaker 1: I talk to you? And he said, nah, I'm doing
Speaker 1: batter practice, but I'll get you afterwards. So I thought, okay, fine.
Speaker 1: I just thought he blew me off, and I wasn't
Speaker 1: expecting him to come back and lo and behold, man,
Speaker 1: he comes back out the bad practice. He said, hey, man,
Speaker 1: you read it. Totally took care of me, totally took
Speaker 1: care of me. Um. So that was you know that,
Speaker 1: that was it. So you don't just like you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just sounds like you got got your ups and downs. Man. No, no,
Speaker 1: but it's prime not fan of me. And that's and
Speaker 1: that's okay, I mean that's a part of this business. Man.
Speaker 1: You just know they're gonna be guys that just guys
Speaker 1: that just don't like you, and and but and that
Speaker 1: that is what it is. But Neem did you say
Speaker 1: something bad about him. I'm trying to get to the
Speaker 1: points and where he don't really he don't fool with
Speaker 1: you specifically, like I I know he don't. It seems
Speaker 1: like he don't like the local media. You know, he
Speaker 1: walked past and go to maybe the bigger the bigger
Speaker 1: channels or something. But he helps specifically to you. Did
Speaker 1: you like say something bad to him in the news
Speaker 1: or you know, did you call him out or something,
Speaker 1: or like, what's what's going on? Did Adam did you
Speaker 1: put him on the all no Carton team? No? Pa,
Speaker 1: I know, I know he didn't like the pac Man
Speaker 1: thing because I thought the whole path. First off, I
Speaker 1: was one of those like the Cowboys don't need pac
Speaker 1: Man Jones. I was like no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. And one reason why I got here because
Speaker 1: New Jerry was very much into, you know, listening to
Speaker 1: Dion and believe him. And I was just like, man,
Speaker 1: I ain't behind the story. And then when he was
Speaker 1: a whole, we need to call him Adam and he's
Speaker 1: a different guy. Now he's Adam Jones. I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is still pac Man. Ain't that changed? You know? The
Speaker 1: cow was so I know Dion didn't like that because
Speaker 1: I also wrote a colbum about it, so I know
Speaker 1: he wasn't a fan of that. Okay, there we go, okay,
Speaker 1: but now we no but but but at the same time,
Speaker 1: you know, I was right. They probably made him mo mad.
Speaker 1: He was more mad at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: I was right. And then of course you know how
Speaker 1: you have, you know, you got your sources around town.
Speaker 1: And then the some of the nightlife things were going
Speaker 1: on with with pac Man Jones, like he ain't changed,
Speaker 1: ain't change, and sell, um, it is who it is, man,
Speaker 1: here's who it is. And just because you lost a job,
Speaker 1: and you know you think, oh, I'm gonna go to
Speaker 1: Cowboys and your last hit listen last hit you so
Speaker 1: he can't he didn't work out. Then he end up
Speaker 1: going to go to Cincinnati. But it was just what
Speaker 1: it was. Buton Dion was really trying to, you know,
Speaker 1: sell us all on Pat Nane Jones and how things
Speaker 1: are gonna be different and Adam Jones are gonna be different.
Speaker 1: Gut like, no, no, it is who he is, grown
Speaker 1: man gonna do what he do. So there you go,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take our first break, Church, Go ahead,
Speaker 1: take time. You know it's a reset. You go ahead,
Speaker 1: and it's already been a rough star. It's been a
Speaker 1: rough star from me. So I'm gonna go ahead and reboot,
Speaker 1: get this thing situated, and when we get back from
Speaker 1: the break, everything will be good. So so let's dive
Speaker 1: into this matchup. Okay, we got to get our predictions here. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got the Cardinals who were three and two against
Speaker 1: the Cowboys who won their second game of the year.
Speaker 1: I've knew he scrudges Danny mccraige, Barry Church. This is

Speaker 1: we do have Barry Church. You're you're you're on the
Speaker 1: air Monday, right, So so you're doing the prema you
Speaker 1: got going on Monday? Well yeah, so, uh so Monday,
Speaker 1: you know, we've got the late late Monday night football game,
Speaker 1: Cowboys Arizona. Your boy be Church with Kyle Yumas and
Speaker 1: Isaiah Stanback. We'll be doing the pregame show on Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com. I'm not sure if that one's on
Speaker 1: TV or not, but it's definitely on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 1: And then the post game it's all three of us
Speaker 1: plus the Great Nate Newton breaking down what we see
Speaker 1: from Monday. Hopefully it's a Cowboys victory, but make sure
Speaker 1: you check us out. Man. We'll be there all right.
Speaker 1: The roof and the doors will be opened. The Cowboys
Speaker 1: are eight and eight when it's fully open here. So
Speaker 1: let's get some predictions in here for this game, all right,
Speaker 1: Church used to go ahead, go ahead, Church gonna put
Speaker 1: You're gonna put no Stra dollars on the stand already. Hunh,
Speaker 1: that's what that's how you feel. Okay, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and let y'all know what's going down with this game.
Speaker 1: So for me, all right, So for me off the rip.
Speaker 1: You know there's no Chandler Jones, So that should help
Speaker 1: out the Cowboys a little bit because you know, if
Speaker 1: he was playing, I don't care who was at that
Speaker 1: left tackle outside of Tyron Smith, they was gonna get whooped.
Speaker 1: So he's not playing, so that should help us out
Speaker 1: a little bit. But overall, I see us getting back
Speaker 1: to that ground and pound game, which limits our defense
Speaker 1: on the field. So if we can control that time
Speaker 1: in possession, I see us doing that. But even with
Speaker 1: all that said, I still gotta go with Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: and these Arizona Cardinals. Man. I think he's just too
Speaker 1: dangerous with his arms and his legs. I just don't
Speaker 1: think we have anything on defense to kind of slow
Speaker 1: that down. So for me, I'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: go twenty eight twenty one Cardinals. Man, you fool me.
Speaker 1: I thought she was about to go with your emotions
Speaker 1: and again Cowboys for this game. Not again again. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something for something, something that's on the
Speaker 1: old line side, right, you know, even though we have
Speaker 1: all these injuries and everything seems bad, but I think
Speaker 1: it's like the third game, third or fourth game to
Speaker 1: where one of the top pass verses on the other
Speaker 1: team has been out of the game or got hurt
Speaker 1: during the game to give us a little break on
Speaker 1: the offense. So we got some type of luck on
Speaker 1: our side, you know, so far, But I don't think
Speaker 1: we'll have luck on our side for this game as
Speaker 1: far as winning it, I think this will be one
Speaker 1: of those things where Keyler Moore doesn't try to change
Speaker 1: what he's doing. He already came out into in the
Speaker 1: press conference and said he doesn't see a need for
Speaker 1: things to change from bactor Andy Dalton. So I see
Speaker 1: us going down that same rabbit hole, and I think
Speaker 1: we'll put up a good twenty one points, but I
Speaker 1: think we'll give up probably thirty five. And uh, the
Speaker 1: Hope will have a big day. Colin Murray will have
Speaker 1: a big day. Uh. And you know, I did pick
Speaker 1: Patrick Peevison as my top corner, so I think he's
Speaker 1: going to have a big day because right now nineteen
Speaker 1: is on that milk carton box anyway, so you know
Speaker 1: he won't be he won't be noticed. He will not
Speaker 1: be noticed if Patrick Peevison is on him. That's that's
Speaker 1: that's my prediction for the day. Now we get pretty
Speaker 1: much blown out. So what's your score? What's your score?
Speaker 1: Thirty five twenty one, thirty five twenty one? Arizona isn't
Speaker 1: two and a half point favorite in this football game? Here? Um? Who? Okay?
Speaker 1: So I always do my prediction over at NBCDFW dot Com.
Speaker 1: So I I did it yesterday and I went with
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals winning the game thirty six to thirty three.
Speaker 1: And Bill Parcels used to say something that I thoroughly
Speaker 1: believe where he says all I can go by is
Speaker 1: what I see, and it's something that Bill Belichick uses
Speaker 1: it as well in Mike Zimmer and Seam Payne might
Speaker 1: even pick that one up to that line, All I
Speaker 1: can go by is what I see, And what I've
Speaker 1: seen in two Dallas victories is they've beaten two teams
Speaker 1: that had yet to get a win in the National
Speaker 1: Football in Atlanta and New York. And these were also
Speaker 1: games they had to come back and win in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter against two winless teams. So now here comes
Speaker 1: a team that is three and two, and I haven't
Speaker 1: seen them beat a winning team yet. Until I do,
Speaker 1: I can't pick them against a winning football team. Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray to me as a quarterback, is that kind of
Speaker 1: guy that can give this defense fits. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you guys remember or not, or fans remember that
Speaker 1: Atlanta game you saw Matt Ryan rushing for a couple
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. I got touched on being first games and
Speaker 1: we saw Jared Goffe's legs a little bit in that
Speaker 1: opening game against the Rams. Now you're talking about a
Speaker 1: whole nother level of quarterback who, in terms of using
Speaker 1: his legs, the Cowboys have not seen this year. And
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure of what the plane
Speaker 1: will be. I expect Laton vander esh to be in
Speaker 1: the lineup and that will help a little bit. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, how many how many conversations have
Speaker 1: you guys pointed out that the Cowboys defensive backs and
Speaker 1: you guys are former defensive backs, are still looking, you know,
Speaker 1: in the backfield. It's still not not locked on and
Speaker 1: blowing assignments. So until they fix that, I have to
Speaker 1: go with Arizona because there's still just question marks. And yeah,
Speaker 1: we could say they've played better against the Giants, And
Speaker 1: I also come back to this, it was the Giants.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are a better team. How are you going
Speaker 1: to control d Hop? What about Christian Kirk who I
Speaker 1: think can have a big game, What about Larry Fitzgerald?
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds coming out of the backfield, and we've seen
Speaker 1: him and his play tick up a little bit. To
Speaker 1: go along with Kennyan Drake. I just got to see
Speaker 1: how they handle things, and Danny, I'm with you. We
Speaker 1: know what Keller Moore needs to do, but he's not
Speaker 1: saying what we think he should do, which is, hey,
Speaker 1: let's give twenty one the football control the clock. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys lose the time of possession every game. And if
Speaker 1: you lose the time of possession in this football game
Speaker 1: and you keep these guys out on the field thirty
Speaker 1: minutes and we're trying to chase Kyler Murray in company,
Speaker 1: I just think this could be a recipe for disaster.
Speaker 1: Right now, let me ask y'all a question, man, what
Speaker 1: do y'all think is the hold up with it? You
Speaker 1: know Kellen Moore saying he's, you know, he's sticking with
Speaker 1: the game plan and he's sticking with how they approach
Speaker 1: games as if Dak was in there, Like, why do
Speaker 1: you think he's not willing to go ahead and resort
Speaker 1: to the ground and pound or do you think he's
Speaker 1: just being this whole secretive thing and he's just saying, oh, no,
Speaker 1: we're gonna stick to the game plan, but all along
Speaker 1: switch it up, which could be the case, but to me, like,
Speaker 1: what is the hold up? I mean, we've seen so
Speaker 1: far this year that just throwing the ball all over
Speaker 1: the yard has not really been that successful. So, like,
Speaker 1: I just don't get it. You have one of the
Speaker 1: best backs in the NFL right now, and granted he
Speaker 1: needs to he needs to pick up his game a
Speaker 1: little bit, but at least give the man some touches
Speaker 1: to try to get it up. So, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: asking y'all, just you know, what do you think is
Speaker 1: to hold up in this offensive philosophy right now? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think Oh, go ahead, go ahead,
Speaker 1: I'll start. I mean, you heard Mike mccartystell about he's
Speaker 1: the analytics guy now, and so you just look at
Speaker 1: the analytics. The analytics tell you that the Cowboys are
Speaker 1: the number one total offense in the NFL four hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty eight yards a game. They are number three
Speaker 1: in scoring thirty two point six points a game. They
Speaker 1: are the number one passing offense in the National Football
Speaker 1: League three eighty one point four in number nineteen in
Speaker 1: rushing offense in one oh six. So these guys offensively
Speaker 1: think that what they're doing is good. They don't think
Speaker 1: anything is wrong. Mike McCarthy and in his press conference today,
Speaker 1: talked about how he likes what they're doing, that the
Speaker 1: game scripts have gotten off course, so maybe they feel
Speaker 1: like if they can cut that on their turnovers and
Speaker 1: they can play a game where they're not behind it
Speaker 1: that if they keep doing what they're doing, they'll be successful.
Speaker 1: That's the best that I can can take away from it.
Speaker 1: To answer your question, Barry, what about you, Danny, It's
Speaker 1: called it's fool's goal, man, this is what happened, man.
Speaker 1: Like what they say in the stock market. The worst
Speaker 1: thing for a trader, you know, is for them to
Speaker 1: get lucky doing something that they shouldn't be doing, because
Speaker 1: they're going to continue to make that mistake and think
Speaker 1: they can get to get a good result every time.
Speaker 1: Last year we had the same thing. We had one
Speaker 1: of those top top offenses, but somehow we ended up
Speaker 1: with a horrible record and not making the playoffs. This year,
Speaker 1: same thing we talk about that getting trash yards were
Speaker 1: down by twenty one points. The defense is backing off.
Speaker 1: They're letting you throw these these short routes and rack
Speaker 1: up these yards and hoping that you run out of time.
Speaker 1: And we got lucky twice. And that's how we ended
Speaker 1: up with the number one offense because we had to
Speaker 1: play from behind and risk everything to try to come back,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you think you got like
Speaker 1: everything's working. This is great now that the defensive play
Speaker 1: dictated was dictated by how much the other team was ahead.
Speaker 1: When you have a team that's coming out and playing you,
Speaker 1: you know, like like the game is tied or down
Speaker 1: by seven the entire game, that type of stuff doesn't work,
Speaker 1: and that's what's going to get you another loss on
Speaker 1: your record. You have to run the ball, control the clock,
Speaker 1: and base everything off that to get to win, especially
Speaker 1: with our offensive line woes and our injuries that we
Speaker 1: have going on. And now everybody can say what they
Speaker 1: want to about Andy Dalton. He is still our backup quarterback.
Speaker 1: He did get let go by Cincinnati, so he's not
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. He cannot do the same thing that Dad
Speaker 1: can do. So you do have to change something. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think you got to change something because,
Speaker 1: like like we've said, I mean, the way this defense
Speaker 1: has performed, I mean, it has not performed up the
Speaker 1: part so far, and I think we're or all in
Speaker 1: agreements of that. But to help that defense out. You
Speaker 1: would think they would, you know, they would try to
Speaker 1: win the time of possession against the other team. And
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure if we've won that at all
Speaker 1: this year at any point. So I understand they're putting
Speaker 1: up all these yards. Under stand he's throwing it all
Speaker 1: over the yard, and all these guys are putting up
Speaker 1: all these unbelievable numbers, and we're number one in the
Speaker 1: you know, all these all these categories offensively, but it
Speaker 1: hasn't you know, transitioned into into w's for us, and
Speaker 1: you know, I just to me, it was just kind
Speaker 1: of confusing to how we're not, you know, we're not
Speaker 1: trying to help our defense out by owning the time
Speaker 1: of possession. And we could easily do that, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: because we had one of those those hogs in the
Speaker 1: back that is able to take over a game. So
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess we'll just seeing you know, hopefully
Speaker 1: you know, kelling those best. But to me, it was
Speaker 1: just kind of confusing that, you know, we had that
Speaker 1: guy a active, but we're not using it as much.
Speaker 1: So it's just kind of kells best. So you let
Speaker 1: me tell you something, absolutely absolutely not the only reason
Speaker 1: that we had to number one offense, you know, in
Speaker 1: all these yards is if we did, we haven't conceded
Speaker 1: games when we were down by scores that seem you know,
Speaker 1: too much to come back from, you know, like we
Speaker 1: had to we had to play that way in order
Speaker 1: to come back in the game. And that's that's just
Speaker 1: not a way for us to win games, you know,
Speaker 1: down the stretch. And that's why once again I have
Speaker 1: what's going seven to nine and nine, ten and six. Oh,
Speaker 1: look we bring up Kellen Moore. But this goes even
Speaker 1: towards the head coach. So the head coach is said
Speaker 1: and been on record several times saying, hey, look we
Speaker 1: we want to score as quick as we can. You know,
Speaker 1: he's not trying to play some ball control offense. He
Speaker 1: wants to get the football and go put up points.
Speaker 1: That's what he wants to do. So that's why I
Speaker 1: go back to just you know, all I can go
Speaker 1: by is what I see. Until something changes, then I'm
Speaker 1: going to assume this is what they're going to do.
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's a I don't believe this
Speaker 1: is a winning formula for a defense that has so
Speaker 1: many holes. And now you get into Arizona with another
Speaker 1: hole because Tristan Hill is now going to be out.
Speaker 1: So from a defensive tackle standpoint, you're down another guy here.
Speaker 1: So I'm just I don't know if it has to
Speaker 1: I don't know it has to change, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But but right now, you know, as I'm predicting this
Speaker 1: football game, that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: by what I've seen and until it changes, we'll see.
Speaker 1: And I know, don't forget go ahead, and don't forget
Speaker 1: about special teams. We talked about offensive defense, but you
Speaker 1: know good, we're good for giving up something, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's listen, it's on tape. It's on tape. You
Speaker 1: know for multiple weeks that our special team is struggling.
Speaker 1: They're struggling with their assignments. They're struggling getting the right
Speaker 1: people on the field. They're struggling, you know, defending fake plays,
Speaker 1: they're struggling return returning kicks. So believe that the special
Speaker 1: teams coordinator up there in Arizona will have something up
Speaker 1: to sleep for our special teams as well. So that
Speaker 1: is also another game within the game that we would
Speaker 1: have to play and see if that's a positive for
Speaker 1: us or is it a negative? Or we keep it neutral?
Speaker 1: If we keep it neutral, I'm all good with that.
Speaker 1: I'm good with it, just at least keeping it neutral.
Speaker 1: I have I have one question about how the special
Speaker 1: teams can improve Monday night against Arizona. Or I asked
Speaker 1: that question after the break right here on the Players Lounge.

Speaker 1: Since he changed the hiss, let me change mine too.
Speaker 1: The Arizola Cardinals will still win thirty five, but the
Speaker 1: Cowboys will score another field goal. It'll be thirty five
Speaker 1: twenty four. I don't make it just closer, because because
Speaker 1: because because I want to make sure my score is right, right,
Speaker 1: because you know, all he scored twenty one. When he
Speaker 1: said thought, I was like, I picked them to score
Speaker 1: only twenty one. The Cowboys going twenty one. I think
Speaker 1: they found a way to get behind and get some
Speaker 1: more trash ards. I forgot about that, even though Back
Speaker 1: is out of the game. All right, So sure we
Speaker 1: have this, We have this, correct, Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1: Change from you had Arizona winning twenty twenty one, you
Speaker 1: now have a Dallas Cowboys victory Church twenty four twenty one. Correct,
Speaker 1: twenty four twenty one boys, McCray, You went from thirty
Speaker 1: five twenty one Arizona winning to thirty five twenty four
Speaker 1: Arizona winning. So you changed it that way, correct? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I just wanted my score. I still I still don't
Speaker 1: believe in us to win this game yet, Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stay with what I had here, thirty
Speaker 1: six thirty three Arizona over the Cowboys. The line is
Speaker 1: Arizona by two and a half. So that is so
Speaker 1: I got Arizona covering covering there. Um, I'm gonna call
Speaker 1: you the milkman, Church if they end up winning, because
Speaker 1: you're gonna need a whole lot of folks to get
Speaker 1: off that milk carton that you had yesterday. This win,
Speaker 1: Hey man, we had a little pow wow and uh,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. They're coming to play. They
Speaker 1: come into play and you heard it here first man.
Speaker 1: So let me remind you, Church, this was your milk
Speaker 1: carton list yesterday. You had you had the team captained
Speaker 1: by Don Terry Pool and then you had Tyrone Crawford,
Speaker 1: you had Jordan Lewis, you had ever Se Griffin. So
Speaker 1: that's oh yeah, I'm a singer. Yeah, are you right? Okay, So,
Speaker 1: so these guys jumping off the milk car and we're
Speaker 1: gonna call their name on Monday Night football and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys got to win in the game, Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1: Do you know how how good those people have to
Speaker 1: play the whole Arizona to twenty one points. Listen, they're
Speaker 1: getting paid off this game. I've seen you know, s
Speaker 1: Domin's all right. Who was it last week or the
Speaker 1: week before that? They got they got blown out? Who
Speaker 1: they played against like two weeks ago? Anybody knows what
Speaker 1: the cow was, That's what I know. Baltimore? Was it Cleveland? Baltimore? Cleveland?
Speaker 1: I think it might have been. I'll look at it up.
Speaker 1: I look, yeah, yeah, I'll look it up and find out.
Speaker 1: But I don't think Yeah. And Carolina game works right, Yes,
Speaker 1: Carolina three whole they won their last three games. They're
Speaker 1: not a bad team. You know what. They well coached.
Speaker 1: They're very well coached by Matt Rule, and they play
Speaker 1: fundamental football. And one of the things they're doing too,
Speaker 1: they're running the football. Even without Christian McCaffrey. They got
Speaker 1: Mike Davis who's been putting up big fantasy numbers. I
Speaker 1: got Mike Davis on my team and Teddy Bridgewater's playing
Speaker 1: smart football. And so that game was in Charlotte, North
Speaker 1: Carolina and Arizona was not ready to play that one,
Speaker 1: and they did get thumped pretty well, so that that
Speaker 1: that's what happened there going back over here looking at
Speaker 1: just some of the numbers for Arizona. Um they are
Speaker 1: rushing offense, their number six one forty one the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: You know this is not good. The Cowboys don't stop
Speaker 1: to run. The Arizona can run it, U, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: And this is still something and why I can't pick
Speaker 1: the Cowboys yet. They're dead lasting NFL and turnover mars
Speaker 1: their minds seven. Now Arizona's spot so they're number twenty six.
Speaker 1: But we've got to see the Cowboys not give the
Speaker 1: football away. And we saw it last week. The Cowboys
Speaker 1: offensively gave up a touchdown. So I gotta see people
Speaker 1: stopped fumbling. I gotta stopped seeing interceptions. I gotta stop seeing,
Speaker 1: you know, guys running around with the tackles with no
Speaker 1: help in defensive ends, running around and creating sacks. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's small little things, and we've got to see the
Speaker 1: Cowboys improve them. And I go back to what Bill
Speaker 1: Parks used to say. Bill Parcel said, all I can
Speaker 1: go by it's what I see. And so until I
Speaker 1: see these things change, I can't pick the Cowboys to
Speaker 1: be a team with a winning record at home. I
Speaker 1: can't do it. Just yet. I can't do it, nor
Speaker 1: Diamonds overhead pick it then, would you say? Now listen,
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't wait for the group message on Monday.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait. I'm gonna be blowing you up during
Speaker 1: the during the pregame show, so so try not to look.
Speaker 1: You might want to put me on solid mode. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna call them boys out for the pre game too.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, y'all gotta step it up. And you
Speaker 1: know what, it's gonna come to fruition just because Nostra
Speaker 1: Diamonds says. So now when we come back in here
Speaker 1: on what Tuesday and the score is, you know, twenty
Speaker 1: four twenty one, like I predicted, you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: need my gratification all that. I'm gonna need it all
Speaker 1: from every one of y'all. Everyone. Look, look, man, if
Speaker 1: you're if you're right, you know, we'll start the show
Speaker 1: right there. If you write I know, but you know,
Speaker 1: but you know what's gonna happen if you're not. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna I'm preparing. I'm prepared for that because I
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna happen. I'm prepared for that. So
Speaker 1: what are you about to ask a special teams questions
Speaker 1: because I'm nervous. Yes, yeah, I'm asking a special team's questions.
Speaker 1: Would it help if they took Tony pollodoff kickoff return?
Speaker 1: Do you damn right ahead? Mac? That's all I got
Speaker 1: to say? Go ahead? Honestly, I don't think so. I
Speaker 1: think you just need to change the rule. Bro. If
Speaker 1: they kicking five yards deep, leave the ball in the
Speaker 1: end Z all right, leave it in there. As far
Speaker 1: as him dropping that one, he made a bad decision
Speaker 1: on that. It's not a returner in the world who
Speaker 1: has not dropped a kick and had that happened to him.
Speaker 1: So I'm not I'm not really just holding that again.
Speaker 1: I think the decision making for bringing the ball out
Speaker 1: and costing your office yards and starting inside the twenty five,
Speaker 1: it's something that can be fixed by the coach by
Speaker 1: taking that green light away from him. If you do that,
Speaker 1: this is eliminating. You don't even have this problem. So
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to take them from back there.
Speaker 1: I think the speciality's coordinator needs to make a rule
Speaker 1: and tell him not to do that. Instead of hyping
Speaker 1: up and saying, yeah, that's what we want to see
Speaker 1: I don't think it makes sense. Yeah, and I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't understand where. I don't understand where he got
Speaker 1: this confidence from it, like in this green light, because
Speaker 1: it ain't like in years past he was just taking
Speaker 1: things to the house. So for me, like I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's been weeks and weeks and weeks where he's
Speaker 1: been taking things out from five and six yards deep
Speaker 1: in the end zone and costing his offense and giving
Speaker 1: his offensive terrible field position. So for me, like you said,
Speaker 1: I just think he needs that green light taking away
Speaker 1: and go ahead and fair catch some balls. But I
Speaker 1: don't know where he got this confidence after you think
Speaker 1: he thinking called Darrel Patterson. That ain't him, that that's
Speaker 1: not who we got back there. Yeah, it ain't no
Speaker 1: Devin Hester back there. Like, I just don't understand it.
Speaker 1: But you know, obviously, you know coach files on them
Speaker 1: boys have all the confidence in the world with him
Speaker 1: to give him the green light to be able to
Speaker 1: take something out from that beat. But like you said,
Speaker 1: it ain't like he's one of these top guys. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know where this confidence came from. But it
Speaker 1: got to stop McCarthy to Fossil to Pollard, Are you
Speaker 1: good with Cde Lamb fielding punch, Danny McCraw, You're good
Speaker 1: with Cedee Lamb taking the punks. Man. Look, the only reason,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say no, is because he's become our
Speaker 1: number one receiver and you I don't think you want
Speaker 1: you're one of your best playmakers on offense, essentially our
Speaker 1: our number one passing target to be out there risking
Speaker 1: himself on punt return. If you see how New Orleans did,
Speaker 1: they will put Kamar back there in a in a
Speaker 1: really really uh you know, big situation to return kicks. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, when they're down or they're really the big player.
Speaker 1: I think Cede Lamb doing it in that situation is fine.
Speaker 1: For him being the all time punt returner, I don't
Speaker 1: think it makes sense. Yeah. And for me, you know,
Speaker 1: I always thought he was for some reason, I thought
Speaker 1: he was a bigger dude. But when I saw him
Speaker 1: in person, and then when I see him on the
Speaker 1: field and getting tossed around, when he's getting tackled, I
Speaker 1: just don't know if he's you know, durable enough to
Speaker 1: go back there and you know, return punts on an
Speaker 1: every every return basis because like all taste is one
Speaker 1: good lick. I mean, that guy's maybe what one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy pounds soaking wet. So for me, I just
Speaker 1: let him focus all on offense. I mean, like Danny
Speaker 1: mccraie said, he's he's our number one threat receiver wise,
Speaker 1: so I let him focus on that all right. Um McCray,
Speaker 1: I was doing a little research here, and it's interesting,
Speaker 1: as you kind of you. This is a good part
Speaker 1: about playing fantasy football. You start to learn, you know,
Speaker 1: other things about players maybe you don't pay a lot
Speaker 1: of attention to. So you were down on Amary Cooper,
Speaker 1: and so this week I've got Terry mccorn as on
Speaker 1: our team. So I'm looking up Terry mcclorney and they
Speaker 1: go over they look at James Bradberry the Giants, and
Speaker 1: they're saying, hey, man, look, this guy has been fantastic
Speaker 1: against number one receivers. And so they started going down
Speaker 1: the list of guys that he covered this year, and
Speaker 1: then Mary Cooper obviously the last one they covered. Nobody's
Speaker 1: been able to go off on this guy. So, um,
Speaker 1: maybe Coop just ran up against one of the better corners,
Speaker 1: a guy who may end up making a Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: this year. So James Bradberry, I'm just stop just saying, man,
Speaker 1: is what they say, James Bradberry, N I got to
Speaker 1: hear all, yeah, this is this is this is this
Speaker 1: is the same thing that's happening on Twitter. I Am
Speaker 1: not talking about Murray Cooper getting shut down. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about him being on the field for sixty five snaps,
Speaker 1: him not being a focal point of the offense, him
Speaker 1: only running. Uh, you know, those short routes at the
Speaker 1: end of the game, like when when he was going
Speaker 1: against Jalen Ramsey, he got those targets and I was
Speaker 1: happy about it, but they were all short routes. It
Speaker 1: was it was, it was. It was no real impact
Speaker 1: plays that he was that he was trying to make.
Speaker 1: Even a play that he made last week was a
Speaker 1: big route and he made somebody miss the tackle and
Speaker 1: then you know he got the first down. But it
Speaker 1: was it was nothing like Ceedee Lamber's running, nothing like
Speaker 1: Gallup is running. No impact plays that were seeing him,
Speaker 1: seeing him attempt or be thrown too. Okay, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm just saying, I'm just do you think do
Speaker 1: you think that coach is do you think that's the
Speaker 1: coach is not putting him in those kind of like
Speaker 1: highlight highlighted positions, or do you think it's just Hey,
Speaker 1: you know, we call it for Gallup, we call it
Speaker 1: for Cde Lamb. How do you how do you feel
Speaker 1: like that's breaking down? I don't know. I mean, like
Speaker 1: I said, he wasn't on the field for fourth down,
Speaker 1: and so I would blame that on the coaches. But
Speaker 1: now I'm blaming it on him because he's not on
Speaker 1: the field sixth only on the field for sixty five
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps. It's one of the most confusing
Speaker 1: things out there for a guy making a hundred million dollars,
Speaker 1: and I gotta keep going back to it. It It doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense. But they know more than we know because
Speaker 1: we're not in there, So eventually it'll come out, you
Speaker 1: know what's going on. Let's see, Let's see who becomes
Speaker 1: the number one target for Andy Dalton. We saw him
Speaker 1: go to Michael Gallop in the short time he had
Speaker 1: in the in the in the Cowboys game against the Giants,
Speaker 1: and they seem to have a little connection here. So
Speaker 1: I'll be very interested to see who's this guy Monday Night.
Speaker 1: Is it Lamb, is it Gallup, is it Cooper? Is
Speaker 1: it Wilson? So so this is this gonna be fun
Speaker 1: to watch here. And I have all the faith in
Speaker 1: the world that Andy Dalton connectecute. I'm not worried about
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's the quarterback at all. I got confidence to him,
Speaker 1: my confidence level. Even My question is are they going
Speaker 1: to be able to give Ezekiel Elliot the pool they
Speaker 1: commit to give in twenty one to football and trying
Speaker 1: to win the time a possession to keep Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: and the Arizona Cardinals off the football field. All right,
Speaker 1: you've got our predictions, so you be ready to roast
Speaker 1: us or praise us. We will be back on Tuesday. Okay,
