24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: got a chance. That's all I'm gonna say. Man, I'm

25
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: not here to rant glow, just here to say we

26
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: gotta you're glowing enough. You got an NC NFC East Championship,

27
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: had on. What are you talking about? You you're talking

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: about this right here? Oh you're talking about this. Oh man,

29
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about this NFC. Yeah, you know, it's just

30
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: a little, a little early gift. Someone saying I'm not

31
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: too supposed to give that away. It didn't didn't guarante

32
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: say give that to somebody. I thought you're supposed to

33
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: get that happen. It's memories, man, it's memories. It's all memories.

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: So you didn't you didn't do what the coach asked

35
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: you to do, did you. Huh Nah? I can't do that, man.

36
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: So so so so let me get this correct alright,

37
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: So you're not back on the kool aid, but you

38
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: win your NFC East Champ had to insinuate that we're

39
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: going to win the NFC Championship, but we just got

40
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: a chance. I just want to make sure we clear

41
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: on this one. I'm saying. What I'm saying is I think,

42
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: like I said last week, we got a we got

43
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: a low chance to get to the playoffs. All right,

44
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say thirty five percent chance to get to

45
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs because we don't control our own destiny. And

46
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: what those guys are doing up in Washington, I just

47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: don't see them losing all three of their final games.

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: They got to probably the best front seven in football

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: right now, so I don't think they're gonna lose all

50
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: their three games up there, And that just leads me

51
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: for this. I'm gonna think. I think we're gonna go

52
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: seven and nine, like I predicted last week. I think

53
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna win these final games, but we're gonna be

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs just because Washington's gonna end up

55
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: winning one of those two, even if Haskins is at

56
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Okay, all right, Okay, so so you're

57
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: kind of this seems to me, McCray, Is this a

58
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: half measure by Church like he's got one. Okay, it's

59
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: a half measure. That's what I thought. What you're talking about,

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 1: what you're talking about hands, it's called hedging your miss

61
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: that's all you're doing. We were feeling you, though, we

62
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: got you what you mid. I admitted. I admitted last week, Hey,

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna be wrong on us going to the playoffs.

64
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: I admitted it. I said, hey, I'm gonna end up

65
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: Owen McCray a snake from Nick and Sam's. I admit that.

66
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: But what I did say is seven and nine is coming, man,

67
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: seven and nine is coming. And y'all wrote it all

68
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: off like it was nothing. McCarthy can't win back to back.

69
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: Ain't did that since two thy seventeen. All right, all right,

70
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: middle boy, many look at you saying okay, now all right.

71
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: So so so I'm going to ask this. First off,

72
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, the win and the way they won, good

73
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: to see complimentary football. Okay, four turnovers, twenty four points

74
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: off the turnovers defense created three of them. How should

75
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: I look at this game? Because I talked about this

76
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: last night on NBC five. Do I look at it

77
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: as it's wins against the Bengals and wins against the

78
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers quarterback by Nick Lullins and the Bengals.

79
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: I forgot who quarterback there? Who? Who quarterbacks from McCrae,

80
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: who rank? Okay, okay, so so yeah, so so do

81
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: I look at it that way, because I mean, I'm sorry,

82
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins was was dark. He might as well just

83
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: pointed at dudes before he threw it to you and

84
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: threw the ball. I mean, that was that was some

85
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: terrible quarterbacking. That was a terrible quarterbacking. Man m one

86
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: saying that on Friday. You actually you did say that

87
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: on Friday. You said that on Friday. Know, you said,

88
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: if they have to throw the ball, then Nick Mullins

89
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: is going to throw the ball to the opposing team's defense.

90
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: We know what You're I'm looking. I'm going back and

91
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my notes and it says right here,

92
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins turnover machine interceptions in five straight games, twelve

93
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: turnovers in the last five games for the forty nine

94
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: Ers as a team. So when when I did talk about,

95
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, what needed to happen, and I did say, okay,

96
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: thank you, Yeah, I appreciate you, Danny, because you're not

97
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: jargon my memory. Because I did say this is the

98
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: only statistic we need to know, and it was twelve

99
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: turnovers and that the forty nineers are a turnover machine.

100
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: That was the whole and Dallas ended up getting four

101
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: of them. But mullins, he was worse than I thought.

102
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy really is. This is a bad guy.

103
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: And if Kyle Shannahan brings him back next year, I'm

104
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: shocked because I've seen everything I need to see out

105
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: of this dude. This dude's bad and he's not getting better. Okay,

106
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: he's not getting better at all. Look, look, listen, listen.

107
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm all for the win. It's as a matter of fact,

108
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: it may not sound like I'm happy as we go

109
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: throughout this show, but anytime you can get a win,

110
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: I will continue to repeat this. Any win in the NFL,

111
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: NFL it's earned and deserved. Let me walk out of

112
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: there with the duba I will now. Now, I will

113
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: say this, if you talk about a team you like,

114
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: as much bad luck as we've had over these last

115
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: few weeks, it's some good luck that have been rolling

116
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: our way. If you talk about the injuries that some

117
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: of these teams sustained throughout the game, when we're playing them.

118
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm talking about some high impact players get hurt during

119
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: the game and it helps us, you know, be able

120
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: to play offense or defense. I'll tell you what. When

121
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Morstat went out, I was like, all right, you know,

122
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: maybe the next guy comes in and he does the

123
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: same thing, because you know, when you play against the Cowboys,

124
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: it's it's put whoever in there and they can run

125
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: the ball. And then the second team running back went down,

126
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: and then we Tevin Coleman and yep, and then you

127
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: see and then you see Mullers have to go out

128
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: there and try to throw the ball. And I was like, well,

129
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: here it is because one thing about it. We were

130
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: not stopping to run. But that injury saved us and

131
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: helped us. And I take it. Whatever whatever happens throughout

132
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: the game, you have to be able to adjust. And

133
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers weren't able to do that and

134
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins kind of burying them. But we've had some

135
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: good luck throughout this season, especially these last few games.

136
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: Call it what you want. You can say what you

137
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: won't say we played against Mullin better. You can call

138
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: it luck saying Mozart went out. Whatever you want to

139
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: call it. I don't care that Cowboys did what they

140
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: had to do and they got the dove. Did they

141
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: stop absolutely that they gave up four hundred and fifty

142
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: some yards. Yes, and Mike, Mike, no one's on his

143
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: way out. Of course, he's on his way out. But

144
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: you know what, the Cowboys did what they had to do.

145
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: Tony Poller came in there, shows some juice out of

146
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 1: the backfield, receiving the ball, running the ball as well.

147
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: That offensive line, that offensive line, I gat to give

148
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: him a little kudos because I mean I wear on

149
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: them time and time again. But they played pretty well.

150
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: They kept Andy Dalton up right, they kept holes for

151
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: for Tpter run through in and the other running back

152
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: I think his name is Rico dow Well, if I'm

153
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: not a butchering NKO down from South Carolina. He was able,

154
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: he was able to perform well. And you know what,

155
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: they didn't get their playmakers the ball. I think Almari

156
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: Cooper only had two catches. But Cede Lamb Ceedee Lamb

157
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: showed out once again and he's becoming that number one

158
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: threat as as this season progressing. As his rookie season's progressing,

159
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: and this guy is becoming more and more of a guy.

160
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: And I could see him taking over that number one

161
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: role next next year. But overall, it was a great

162
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: team win, even the special teams. The special team showed up.

163
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was just an all around

164
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: great victory for the Dallas Cowboys. And I will say this,

165
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: I think Chris Jones punted his last ball as a

166
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys because that guy we got back there at

167
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: the punting, a new founder or new Wander, whatever his

168
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: name is. He's down in those things like a like

169
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: a like a golf like a golfer man. He's just

170
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: checking it up right by the hole. He played great,

171
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: great overall team under miss Wander. Come on, miss w

172
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: miss Wander. That's what it. Come on. Listen, my man

173
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: on the kool ai and no nobody on the roster.

174
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: The boy was right, because your boy right, it's all good.

175
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: It's a church. He's not gonna be able to get off.

176
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to be like a key

177
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: to leave to get on Fox TV if you can't

00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,960

00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: will get dealt with if you message we're talking that

183
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: he really you brought it up Church, you brought the hell.

192
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: but but I can't. I heard him when he was

193
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: when he commentated against the chroche, so I can imagine,

194
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: you know what what was going on on that broadcast.

195
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: And he was trending on Twitter, so I knew it

196
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: must have been something crazy going on. Yeah, it's never

197
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: a good thing to keep trending. The kid kept it real,

198
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: that was all. He just kept it real. And he

199
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: had on Christmas suit. You know it was it was

200
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: a Michael Irvin special. It was a special Okay, the

201
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: green the green suit, you know, the plaid on there,

202
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: the jack plaid in the red tie. So anyway, he's

Speaker 1: That's what this thing is all about here, Okay, all

206
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: about because I'm right, man, hey Son knew it, KNEWI listen,

207
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: you started off the season talking about my man d

208
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: law and I told you that he was going to

209
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: show up. He's worth the bread. Now. He might not

210
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: have the twelve or thirteen sexs that I called him

211
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: out for. No, but he's been playing playing, He's been

212
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: playing his tail off for the last few games, and

213
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: he's been playing amazing. Earning that check. That's that's that

214
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: he's getting paid, unlike a couple of other guys that's

215
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: on the roster. About to say, he might be the

216
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: only one earning that check on the day. I feel

217
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: like this is a side swipe at me, Danny. I

218
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like you just tried to take

219
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: Definitely was a saw. It was definitely, And I'll simply

220
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: go back and stand on this merit that I've said

221
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: all alone. When you get the rickest richest contract in

222
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys history. There are expectations that come with it. Last year,

223
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: the expectations were not met, and so coming into this year,

224
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm just simply asking for the expectations and for the

225
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: player to be the player who got that check. I'm

226
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: not asking for anything other than that, Okay. I mean,

227
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: it's the same thing that we asked for any big

228
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: time athlete. When you get that the money is hey

229
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: play up to the contract. Playing to the contract, that's

230
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: all I listen, listen, you said that, And then last

231
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: week I heard you talking about people saying Zeke is

232
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: having you know, for all that's going on him, averaging

233
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: sixty yards a game is okay because all this stuff

234
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: going on on the offense. So I'm just saying, if

235
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that at the d Law hits five sex,

236
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: then you got to do that, Zeke and hit sixty

237
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: yards a game. And then you also got to do

238
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: that to a man coop out here getting two catches,

239
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: two catches, three targets of the game too. All right,

240
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: leave law Law. He is outperforming the rest of the

241
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: dudes that got these big time contracts on the roster. Wow.

242
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: Think he's outperforming the other guys in his same tax bracket.

243
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: You tell me on our roster, okay, on our roster.

244
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: I want you to go pull a tape here, Okay,

245
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: please go pulls to tape. What have I said he

246
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: hasn't been worth the money when I talk about Zeke

247
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: saying hey, well, I think I don't think Zeke is

248
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: quote unquote problem and a guy that wasn't worth away

249
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: or a guy who shouldn't have said ab I haven't

250
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: said that about Tank. I just said when you that

251
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: you have to live up to what they want from

252
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: when you. Okay, that's what I've said. That's we said.

253
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: No as as coming out of last year, you said

254
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: that he did it, and I'm saying going into next year,

255
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: I just need to hear the same stuff about Zeke.

256
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: I need to hear the same stuff about Coop. And

257
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about d Law because the

258
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: way he's closing about the season, he's bringing bringing it

259
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: into next year. That's all I'm saying. Okay, here's the

260
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: different one of the big differences for Tank versus Zeke

261
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: and Cooper, and I come back to what you have

262
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: said here. Danny McCray on the players lives coming. Kellen

263
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: Moore does not use these guys properly. You know, it's

264
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: a little bit different for a guy like Tank versus

265
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: these guys now obviously, and I said it last week.

266
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: Any defense, it doesn't have Tank lords the vault, did

267
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: it defensive coordinated? It needs to be fired. That's a

268
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: fireball offense right there. And you got a base package

269
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: and you're telling Tank to run off the field. But

270
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: the first play against the Bengals for Doran's Armstrong, that's

271
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: a misuse of the town. But you can't sit up

272
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: here say that Ezekiel Elliot and Amory Cooper have been

273
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: used properly. We can't see. And you have to think

274
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: about that when you start talking about the use of

275
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: the money. I do not believe that Kelly Moore has

276
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: used these two guys correctly. What how many targets and

277
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: Cooper have yesterday? Let me say, let me tell it

278
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: he had. He had three targets yesterday, two catches for

279
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: ten yards. I watched the third down play where he

280
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: had single coverage on Richard Sherman and I'm like, okay,

281
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, throw it over here to Coop. Let Coop

282
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: go make a play doesn't happen. I'm sitting here later

283
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: on watching the Cardinals game. What do I see? I

284
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: see Kyler Murray throwing it over here? DeAndre Hockeins would

285
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: due dreed out over the end. Zoe went out there

286
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: and made a play. Come on, man, come on, okay, listen,

287
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: and you're better say that. I'm really became because I'm

288
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: gonna bring it low, because I'm gonna bring I bring

289
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: up by Church in because this will happen. Now you're

290
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: talking about Zeke and not being used correctly, and I

291
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: listen and Church has been on this too. How many

292
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: times to do fumbled this season? How many times is

293
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: he giving the ball away? When you're talking about performance,

294
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: you're also talking about being able to be reliable holding

295
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: on to the ball. Some of those games where he fumbled,

296
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: they snatched him out and then they let Tony Poler

297
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: get in. And if you watch the game yesterday, you

298
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: start the question yourself and say, man, which one of

299
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: our running backs and member performing the best in the season.

300
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going TP now I'm Aari Cooper. Yeah,

301
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: I don't understand, listen, I don't I don't understand, you know,

302
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm lost for words with the SamArt Cooper situation. He's

303
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: on a fantasy team, like I said, and uh, I'm

304
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: gonna luckily scratch out to win. But as I watched this,

305
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm just like, oh, I don't know, man. Noah Brown

306
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: got in there and got more targets to coop. Ceedee

307
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: Lamb got more targets to coop. The tight end got

308
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: more targets to coop. Tony Powler got more targets. Listen,

309
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: if you name you can name him on the roster.

310
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: They had no targets to coople this game. But it

311
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. But at the end of the day,

312
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: we won the game. Like at the end of the day,

313
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: we won, And maybe that's the new formula. Maybe that's

314
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: the new formula for us to just spread the wealth around,

315
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: get the tight ends involved, get Tony Pollan involved, getting

316
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: Noah Brown involved. It said Wilson, I don't know what

317
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: it is, but we how many yards if we have

318
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: all I'm all for it. I'm all forty how many

319
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: yards that we have offen could have we could have

320
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: had ten yards on offense. No, but but that's what

321
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But that's what I'm saying you're not gonna

322
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: win that. You're not gonna win many games that way

323
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: by by our defense getting four turnovers, you know, giving

324
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: giving an offense to ball on our own terry, I

325
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: mean in the defense territory each time. That stuff not

326
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna happen. You have to find a way to be

327
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: able to make long drives on offense consistently and traded.

328
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: We played the game, it's not gonna happen. You have

329
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: to be able to get your star players involved or

330
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win. You know, the really significant games, right,

331
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: you'll beat the forty nine like that, You'll you'll beat

332
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: Minnesota like that sometimes. But when you get into some

333
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: real competitive games and you're not able to sustain long

334
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: drives and get these players involved, you ain't gonna win.

335
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna happen. And I'm Mark Cooper getting

336
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: to the three targets and two catches, but nine yards.

337
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: The dude needed four catches to break his own personal record.

338
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: Could even get it this game, couldn't even get it.

339
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: Maybe in Philly, maybe see And and and that's the mad part.

340
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: It's it's a possibility that the man still might not

341
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: even break his own personal catch record and he needs too,

342
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: I believe, and he still might not even do that

343
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: in Philly. Don't make no sense, it makes It makes

344
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: absolutely zero sense to me. And that is the biggest

345
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars suck to me that I've seen.

346
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: You look at the numbers and all that, you say, oh, yeah,

347
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: the dude got this many catches this video. You watch

348
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: the game. It ain't the same like new he said.

349
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: You look at the hop yesterday. You look at Metcalf,

350
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: you look at look at Calvin Riddard, you look at

351
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: whole look at these guys, and you watch the games

352
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: and you can see that their numbers match up with

353
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: what you see when were you watching on the film.

354
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,239
Speaker 1: When you look at Coop, it doesn't match up. And

355
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: it's not his fault in my opinion. All right, all right,

356
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: let's take a break. Gotta take a break. Okay, take

357
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: a break. When we come back. Since Danny's in this run,

Speaker 1: time Cowboys reporter joined by former Cowboys safety's Danny McCray

402
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: and Barry Church. Tony Polyde started for Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott

403
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: out with a calf injury, did not play. Tony Poler

404
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: with a one hundred and thirty two total yards of offense,

405
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: had two rushing touchdowns and looked very good social media buzzes.

406
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: They were trying to figure out ways to cut Ezekiel Eli.

407
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: People are double with Zekiel all out Tony Powder. Obviously

408
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: I don't feel that way, but uh, you know, Danny McCrae,

409
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: you've been on your soap box running people down, So

410
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, go down and rundown. Listen. I've been on

411
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: this show many times saying Zeke deserves all the money

412
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: that he got. And I've been on this show saying

413
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: that Keller Moore doesn't know how to use the guy,

414
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: even coming into the season saying, yeah, we're gonna get

415
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: this dude the vault. He out there running routes. And

416
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: then I watched the game and I'm saying, this is

417
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: what I thought that they were gonna do when Zeke

418
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: they the one the ball to Tony Poler, he running

419
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: the ball, all these creative ways to give him about

420
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: especially in the first drive, it was Tony Pollard the

421
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: whole drive and I'm looking like you got a ninety

422
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: million dollars running back and you said that you were

423
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: going to have him involved in the passing game, in

424
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: the running game, this is what I envisioned for. And

425
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: then soon as Zeke is out, this is the game

426
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: player that you put it for Tony Pollard. It was

427
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: very confusing. So I don't know if it's something that

428
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,239
Speaker 1: they don't feel like Zeke can do, or that they

429
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: thought he was that he could do before they actually

430
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: seen him on the field, or what's going on. But

431
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: what I see from Tony Pollard is what I expect

432
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: to see expected to see from Zeke as far as

433
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: creativity and getting them involved in the in the game.

434
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: Zeke deserves his bread. Tony Poller got out there and

435
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: did it for a game. Nothing against him, But we've

436
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: seen Zeke be the workhouse for many years and I

437
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: think he still has that in him. This year had

438
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: lived up to it with the fumbles. Uh, you know,

439
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: other than that, his use has just been off. But me.

440
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm just big on him with how many times he's

441
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: fumbling the ball, But I still think I think he

442
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: still has it. Yeah, look, I think I think Zeke's

443
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, he deserves the money. How he got I mean,

444
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, he was a workhorse back for since he's

445
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: been in the NFL. But I don't think it's not

446
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: fair to ask the question, has has Tony Poller looked

447
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: better than Zeke this year? I think he has. I mean,

448
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: so far, when we give Zeke the ball, the ten

449
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: or twelve, we do give him a game. I mean

450
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: there's three or four yards in a cloud of dust.

451
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: I think his as longest running this season has been

452
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: twenty six yards, and during that run he looked like

453
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: he could have got tracked down by d Lyman. So

454
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and act like this guy's

455
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: he's he's Christian McCaffrey, or he's he got all the juice.

456
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't. Right now, he looks more like a fullback

457
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: than a running back, and Tony poll looks a little

458
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: bit better than he does, looks like he has a

459
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: little bit more, looks a little bit better out of

460
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: the backfield. I mean, I'm not I don't think I'm

461
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: telling any lies out here. When we see t I

462
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: ain't gonna go that far. He's called Mary breaks when

463
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: he's got his long breaks. Man, he hasn't looked as

464
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: fast as he had in the past. I don't think

465
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: that's a I don't think that's an unfair judgment. I

466
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: don't think that's an unfair judgment like that the black

467
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: cow use check. You called it the black collar man.

468
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: You can't say nothing on this show, y'all will take

469
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: something with it. When he was out there, he has

470
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: not looked as fast as he's had in the past.

471
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: And Tony Pollard looked like he has a little bit

472
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: more juice. That's all I'm saying. I mean this dude, okay,

473
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: but coming to the game is dude eighth in the

474
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: league In Russian you called him a full back. Wow,

475
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: just a tough craw You guys are tough today. Man,

476
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: you got a tough crow said he looked like a

477
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: full back. Tough, tough four yards in the cloud of dust.

478
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: That's what we've gotten so far. He not better than Tony,

479
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Tony Poler, not better than Zeke. But I'm

480
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: still on that he's not better than Zeke. That's like

481
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: the Jude, that's like the Juju Smith thing. Right when

482
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: when Antny o'brown left, you realize that Juju Smith really

483
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: wasn't a number one receiver. He was kind of feeding

484
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: off the fact that Antonio o'brown was get so much attention.

485
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: I think that's the same thing that's going on with TP.

486
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: No offense to him, but he's still not Zeke and

487
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a body of work that says so

488
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: either okay, so what do you make of the people

489
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 1: saying cut him or get out the contract? I mean,

490
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on that? Mccraig. I got the

491
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: same thought. If Keller's not going to find a way

492
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: to utilize him correctly and he's gonna come out with

493
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: all the creative stuff when Tony Pollard gets in the game,

494
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: then you got to find a way to move on

495
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: because other than that, you're just seeing ninety million dollars

496
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: to a guy into a guy that you're not really

497
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: taking advantage of it. It makes no sense to me.

498
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: So you either got to find a way to use

499
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: him and let Kelly Moore know that this is what

500
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: we want to see from Zeke, or you know, some

501
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: of these people might be right. Then if you're gonna

502
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: utilize Tony Pollard in a better way to use Z,

503
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: then find a way to move on from or get

504
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: something to return from him for him. I just don't

505
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: see how we can get out of this deal. I mean,

506
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 1: it's it is, he's lied. I feel like he's locked

507
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: up until at least twenty twenty twenty three. So I

508
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: don't know how we can get out of this deal.

509
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: And I don't see anybody trading for him to get

510
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: a ninety million dollars running back. I just don't see

511
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: it happening. So, like you said, Danny, I think we're

512
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to just stick with this guy. We're gonna

513
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: see what he has to do next year when he

514
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: gets a full, healthy offensive line, and hopefully if Kellen

515
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: his back, he has a better game plan implemented to

516
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: get the most out of Ze. So let me this question. Okay,

517
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: let me ask this question here, because you guys have

518
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: been in the locker room and you have been around

519
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: players who've had down teasons, would it be prooting for

520
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: the head coach and even the owner, Gerald Wayne Jones,

521
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: to come out and say, look, last year, Zy that's

522
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: a bad year. We don't blame it all on you.

523
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: We had issues, offensive line issues, quarterback issues, but you

524
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: need to be better for us in twenty twenty one.

525
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: Is there anything wrong with them saying that? Because around

526
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: here nobody ever wants to tell anybody they've had a

527
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: down you and if you how tell somebody they had

528
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: a down year, you're hating or you're not respecting them.

529
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: As I the charge was leveled against me about what

530
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: I said about Tank Lawrence. When you look at dudes

531
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: and just say, hey man, I need you to be

532
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: better because you can be better. And oh, by the way,

533
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: what have we seen when Tank turns it on in place?

534
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: This a better football team. If Ezekiel Elliott plays better

535
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: and gets it on, guests, what I think we'll see.

536
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: I think we'll see a better football team. But who's

537
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: the person that can come out here actually say the

538
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: twenty one Hey, bro, that ain't what we paid for.

539
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: You're right, I think it's got to be upper management.

540
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: I think they because it's not like they're telling lies.

541
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: They're being honest with him and saying, hey, look, you

542
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: had a down year. And I think he even himself

543
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: would admit, like Hey, it's not the best year that

544
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: I've had out here with it in a Dallas Cowboys uniform,

545
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: and I can be better. And I think that's what

546
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: they need to tell him this offseason. They need to

547
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: get it in this head, like, look, man, we need

548
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: you to be that workhorse. We need you to be

549
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: that guy once again, and we're gonna ride with you

550
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: because look, I mean, it's all coming down to how

551
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to respond to this. I mean

552
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: there's two ways that can happen. They can tell them this.

553
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: They can break them to him like this, and he

554
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: can go on the shell piled about it and just

555
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: become a worst player. Or he can feed off of

556
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: that oh saying, oh they think I lost it, they

557
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: think I don't got it anymore, they don't think I

558
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: got the juice, and he can go out there and

559
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: prove them wrong. So I think it could go both ways.

560
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: But knowing Zike, I think he'll feed off of that

561
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: and become a better running back. Let me tell you something,

562
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: whatever room they sit him down there and talk to

563
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: him about you better have killing more Mike McCarthy in

564
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: there and get on the same speech. You need to

565
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: utilize this guy the way they we're paying them, because,

566
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: like I said, it's not all on him. When you

567
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: get on the seat, you say, hey man, we need

568
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: you to hold onto the ball. The number one thing

569
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: we need you to do, and the number one setback

570
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: that you had this year was fumbling the football. That

571
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: calls us to have to put Tony Poulin in because

572
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: at certain points we couldn't trust you in the game.

573
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: That is the number one thing that you need to fix.

574
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: Other than that, the offensive coordinator, head coach, they need

575
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: to find a way to utilize you and your skills

576
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: to your maximum ability. So they need to have Zeke

577
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: whoever the offensive coordinator is, Kelling or Mike McCarthy in there,

578
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: and they need to have a group conversation. Zeke needs

579
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: to take some honors and the coaches need to take

580
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: some honors on this as well. All right, let's take

581
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: a break when we come back. There was one player

582
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: yesterday that I looked at and I said, maybe this

583
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: guy has a starting role for this defense next year.

584
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: Let's dive into that next and NEWI scrugs along with

Speaker 1: this win the DP. It's played well, creating three turnoverst

629
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: was with four turnovers overall. And I asked this question

630
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: to you here all the players line about you by

631
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: Hotels dot Call, Barry Church, Danny McCrae, what's up when

632
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: we think about next year? It's Donovan Wilson, a guy

633
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: you look at who can be a starter for your

634
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: defense next year at safety. Go ahead, d mack Uh,

635
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: listen the way that he's played this year. I would say, yes, Um,

636
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't think you could keep both of those guys

637
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: back there, So you still have to bring in a

638
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: venturing guy us. He's made some plays, and I think

639
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: that he has the potential to be a starter. I

640
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: would still have him come in and compete. Uh, you

641
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: know what a veteran guy see if he could beat

642
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: him out. But I think from what we've seen from

643
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: him as long as he continues to get better, he

644
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: has the possibility to be a starter. Yeah, I'm with

645
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: McCray on this one. Um, he definitely has the possibility

646
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: to be a starter, as you've seen him out there

647
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: flashing making plays, and it's not just you know, wanting

648
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,239
Speaker 1: you know, one play here, one player there. It's been

649
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. I mean it started in Minnesota

650
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: when he was striking guys out there and causing fumbles,

651
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: and in this week we see his coverage skills in

652
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: the back end, being able to break on passes and

653
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: read quarterbacks eyes back there. So he's not just a

654
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: box safety or one dimensional safety that you can play

655
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: is basically an extra linebacker. This guy has talent. He

656
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 1: has talent in the coverage, and he has talent when

657
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: he strikes opponents, and he has talent in the run game.

658
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: So for me, he can be a future starter. And

659
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: he's young, and he's young, and he's coachable. You don't

660
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: see this guy really out there blowing coverages, making big

661
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: time mistakes like we've seen in the past. This guy,

662
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: I think he has it. Do you think he has

663
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: the ability to be one of the better safeties in

664
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: this league? But it's gonna take a little bit of

665
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: time and better coaching, and I feel like he'll be

666
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: able to do it. So this is true. He's very

667
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: cheak right now. So let me ask this question to

668
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: you guys, because when I was watching him in preseason

669
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: action and you guys, hey, here's the guy who's making

670
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: some plays. But they never looked at it. You know,

671
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: they go this offseason, they go give Akaha Clinton Dick's

672
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: money and they say, hey, wen, go it again. And

673
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: then they had Darrey Thompson. So why is it taking

674
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: so long for them to see things that? Yeah, I

675
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: and other media people, you know, people like Dave Helmett,

676
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: people who watch this team are saying, hey, man, that

677
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,479
Speaker 1: that guy's making plays here. How Come? How come it's

678
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: taking so long for them to see what other people

679
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: are seeing? And we're not trained professionals, you know, these coaches.

680
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: It's the safety position. I mean we all noticed going back,

681
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, since I think who was the last safety

682
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: they paid around here? Ken Hamlin. I feel like it's

683
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: just the safety position and this organization, and it's this

684
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: organization they just devalue that position. I don't know why.

685
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: We've seen it over time and time again that safeties

686
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: can make a huge impact on a defense. Look at

687
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: Tyrn Matthew with the Kansas City Chiefs, look at due

688
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: to Baker's doing in Arizona and when Earl Thomas was

689
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: in his prime. I mean, the safety position can have

690
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: a huge impact. But for some reason, if Dallas Cowboys,

691
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't know why, they just do not value this position.

692
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: They feel like they can just plug and play anybody

693
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: in there. And we've seen it hurt this team in

694
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: the past and hurt this defense. So for me, they

695
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: need to take a stronger look at Wilson and feel

696
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: like he can be the starter going forward. Yeah, and

697
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: then and then then for me, I think sometimes what

698
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: happens is a player of practice is different than they play, right,

699
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: So sometimes what you see it practice isn't what you

700
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: see on the field. So I think once he was

701
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: able to get on the field and actually make those plays,

702
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: and he was able and they were able to see

703
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: that he was out there and he could make them consistently,

704
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: I think they kind of threw the practice take to

705
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: the side and was like, this guy's a true baller.

706
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: He can do this on a consistent basis. That's that's

707
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: the only thing that I can see, you know, especially

708
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: since they don't really let us in and you know,

709
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: to see practice or getting any details or what's really

710
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: going on out there. So that I mean, that's the

711
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: only thing I can come up with in my mind. Okay, um,

712
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: all right. So so I just wondered because I think

713
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: that he's that guy that, um you look at it,

714
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, with Xavier Woods coming up to it right now,

715
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: I would not I would not resign him. And you know,

716
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: looking at a player and Wilson, who you get cheaper?

717
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: And do you go back and revisit in Earl Thomas

718
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: if you're the Cowboys, because now you have the ability

719
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: to set the price you want for it. Earld Thomas,

720
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: who did not play football this year. No, I don't

721
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: think you go in that role. I don't think you

722
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: go with a you know, a very high price veteran

723
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: free agent out there. I think you go with a

724
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: lesser known commodity, maybe a Trey Boston if he's up,

725
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: somebody in that realm where they're not gonna cost you

726
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: an arm and a leg to sign them. But they're

727
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: very good as far as leadership and being a quarterback

728
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: of the defense. Because that's all I think that they

729
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: need back there in the secondary. I think they got

730
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: their striker, I think they got their playmaker and Wilson.

731
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 1: I think the last key piece missing in that secondary

732
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: is a guy to put all the pieces together, the

733
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: guy that's back there kind of like a Sean Lee,

734
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: kind of like a quarterback of the defense, to get

735
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: these guys lined up and let them let their playmaking

736
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: ability go ahead and go ahead and be out there

737
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: and be great. So for me, I just think they

738
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: need a quarterback back there, and you can get that

739
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: for relative and cheap. Yeah, And I think it really

740
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: depends on the defensive coordinator and what type of scheme

741
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: they're trying to run, because the safety position has evolved

742
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: into guys blitzing off the edge, some guys covering some

743
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 1: guy's free rum, and some guys playing in the middle

744
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: of some guys playing in the box. So you just

745
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: need to find out what type of scheme you're gonna

746
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: run and what type of player fits that fits that

747
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: scheme best before you just kind of go out there

748
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: and just just throw anyone in there. Because all safeties

749
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: are different. All of them specializes in something different and

750
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: they can maximize their opportunities in different ways. So find

751
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: out what you're doing defensively, find out what scheme you're running,

752
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: and then pick a player that fits that scheme, because

753
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: it's obvious that that players don't come first defensively in

754
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: terms of who fits the scheme or we're just going

755
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: based off what the players can do and making a

756
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: scheme fit around them. All Right, tough tough day for

757
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: Team Tank on Sunday, Cowboys win. Get the five wins

758
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: this year. So Dallas went from having the fourth overall

759
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: pick before the win over the forty nine ers to

760
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: winning the game now having the eighth overall pick in

761
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: the NFL draft with two games to go, So doubled

762
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: up from four to eight. And it's gonna keep dropping.

763
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: It's gonna keep dropping because I'm telling y'all, man, these

764
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: last two games Philly, New York, I believe we got

765
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: whichever order that is, they're gonna get you two games.

766
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: So you think they're gonna end up probably picking fifteen

767
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: ish sixteen ish. And I don't know if Team Take

768
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: loves that. I don't know if the Dallas for Worth

769
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 1: loves that, but that's what's gonna happen. Well, Jalen Hurts

770
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: is going to start for the Eagles on Sunday at

771
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: Jerry World. Their head coach Doug Peterson confirmed it. Lake Vanderesh,

772
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys linebacker, underwent an MRI on Monday to confirm a

773
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: ligament issue, but it's possible that he could play on

774
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: Sunday ligament in his ankles. So look, the Cowboys are

775
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: gonna have an issue with this young fella here. Four

776
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: hundred and one total yards against Arizona, three hundred thirty

777
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: eight yards on the road, three touchdowns, and then he

778
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: ran the ball sixty three times I should say eleven

779
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: times for sixty three yards, had a touchdown rush. So

780
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: this is basically another Lamar Jackson type situation. And Mike

781
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: Nolan didn't exactly call a really good defensive game when

782
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: they played Baltimore. And that's just being kind. So Church,

783
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, if you look, this is a tough this

784
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: a battle if Philadelphia's favorite in this game, by the way, yeah,

785
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: you're right. And this out of these last two games,

786
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: this is the game that pretty much scares me, man,

787
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: because I thought we were gonna have hurtson or wins

788
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: in there, but he seems that he's gonna be riding

789
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: the pine for the rest of this year. Hurts, Man,

790
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: he looks good. He looks good, and against Arizona they

791
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: were trying to bring the pressure and he's just he

792
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: has this cool kind of calm, collected just feel about him.

793
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: He just feels like he's beyond his years as a rookie.

794
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: When he goes out there, He's moving the pocket, he's

795
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: good on the run, and he's a lot more accurate

796
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: than I thought he was coming into this NFL. So

797
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: for me, this game scares me, man, because not only

798
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: can you know, can Hurts you know, bring out the

799
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: best of these receivers, but he seemed to bring the

800
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: best out of mouse Sam who you know this year,

801
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been up and down for him, but

802
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: with that added threat of Hurts's legs, it seemed that

803
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: read option with Miles Sanders has come alive in Philadelphia.

804
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: So this game scares me overall. And plus Philadelphia's defense,

805
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: they still got that front seven, and that front seven

806
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: can get after the quarterback with Cox and those boys.

807
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: So for me that this game scares me, But I

808
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 1: still I still got them boys coming out on top.

809
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: We went in three straight. We went in three straight.

810
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna go seven to nine. Count on it. Listen,

811
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna go ahead and continue

812
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: where I lived off with Jalen Hurts. And listen, the

813
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: greatest thing for this dude because he is battle tested,

814
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: he's been through the Alabama lost his job, went to Oklahoma,

815
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: and the best thing for me to see is Jalen

816
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: Hurts performed better than two of which I wanted that

817
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: to be happened in the National Championship to where Oklahoma.

818
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: We're going there and beat Alabama. But we're gonna see it.

819
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: In the NFL. Jalen Hurts is out there playing cool,

820
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: calm and collected, and knew he compared to the Lamar Jackson.

821
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there saying he throws a ton better than

822
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Right now, we have our hands full with

823
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: this We have our hands full with this guy. Yes,

824
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: he throws better than Lamar Jackson. Look, I wasn't comparing him.

825
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: It's I was because I was contrasting the game that

826
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: the game plan they had against Baltimore. That's what I'm

827
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 1: talking about with Lamar Jackson and what they were doing.

828
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: So I'm not I'm not comparing the quarterbacks at all.

829
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm just comparing that they had to go up against

830
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback, a running quarterback, and a team they wanted

831
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: to run the ball if you got another one in

832
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: the game. Playing against Baltimore was bad. So I'm not

833
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: comparing the two quarterbacks at all. Okay, Hurt Jayleen Hurt

834
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: Jen is a cute dog, so you know I'm gonna

835
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: beat I'm a dad for my boy. Came down for

836
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: dad for the dog team. So no, no listen, and

837
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: and and and and and I said to this extent

838
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: to the fact that Jalen Hurts is less of a

839
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: scrambling quarterback then than Lamar Jackson. The game is less

840
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: tailored for him to run quarterback powers and quarterback sweeps

841
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: than it is when you play a team like Baltimore.

842
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 1: This guy is going to drop back and then create

843
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: those plays, kind of more like Russell Wilson. After he

844
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: dropped back, he doesn't see it, then he's gonna make

845
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: that smart decision to take off and run versus when

846
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: you play at Lamar Jackson, it's probably run first and

847
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 1: make sure you're on your keys and then defend the past. Well,

848
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: late Vanderesh's ability to and I've never had an ankle

849
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: ligament situation. Maybe one you guys have, but it just

850
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: seems to me when you're playing a team where you

851
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: got to worry about the quarterback using his legs and

852
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: as a linebacker, that could be that could be a tough,

853
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: tough go for Vanderes to really be ready and get

854
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: down on Sunday. So it may be seeing more Sean Lee,

855
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: which we saw yesterday when Vanderesh had the league football game.

856
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: If I'm vander esh Man, make sure you healthy before

857
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: you come in there, because the worst tag you want

858
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: in your NFL career, especially as early as his NFL career,

859
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: is you don't want that injury label. You don't want

860
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: them guys to say, hey, he can't stay healthy. He's

861
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: just a rotational piece. So if I'm late in, man,

862
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: make sure you're healthy because you don't need any more

863
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: setbacks this year. Speaking of that, do you pick up

864
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: do you pick up his fifth year option? If you're

865
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys? Oh that's ad you go ahead McCray on

866
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: this one. I don't know, go ahead, listen. I was wrong.

867
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: I was wrong. I was wrong on lv Um this

868
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: season because I had no faith in him to be

869
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: able to come back from the neck injury and then

870
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: the columbone injury, and he's he's proving me wrong. Um

871
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: as far as his play on the field when he's healthy,

872
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: I think you still have an opportunity to see some

873
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: great things from him. So it is a it's a

874
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 1: tough question to ask an answer, but as a right now,

875
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes here, yeah, go ahead, go ahead.

876
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: Here's my okay, this is just my my, my point

877
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: on Vanagh. When the new defensive coordinator comes in here,

878
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: I'd like to really know do you put him back

879
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: out of outside linebacker when he had a Pro Bowl

880
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: season when he looked more comfortable, versus putting him at

881
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: middle linebacker where guys had a neck issue and you're

882
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: out here banging in the guys. I would love to

883
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: see right out of the game. Where do you play

884
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: the play? This is true, This is true. I don't

885
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: think he's durable enough to play in that middle. And

886
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: that's what we've seen so far. That middle linebacker. You've

887
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: got to be stouting here because you're taking on pulling

888
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: guards fullbacks each and every down. And look, he has

889
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: a size to do it. But these soft tissue injuries

890
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: his neck problems have. He might be better suited on

891
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: the outside, where he can use his hands more and

892
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: he can use his speed to get around blocks. In

893
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: that middle, you gotta be straight, head on bam every

894
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: single playing. I don't know if he's built for that well.

895
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: To help new Ye out, I think a real important

896
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: part of playing middle linebacker is having a defensive line

897
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: in front of you that kind of keeps you, keeps

898
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: you clean and allows you to see stuff and go

899
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 1: attack blockers instead of taking them all you know, five

900
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: yards in your defensive backfield. So you fix the d lineup,

901
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: make sure that they are on their p's and ques.

902
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: And I think it will help v out playing in

903
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: the middle of that's what they have him at. All right,

904
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: all right, but still yes or no on picking up

905
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: the fifth year option. Oh, I'm I must say yes.

906
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes. Give him one more year, just

907
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: full health. Hopefully he's healthy for the entire year and

908
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: he's able to get back to that two thousand and

909
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: eighteen for him when he was a Pro Bowl, All

910
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: Pro player. Mccraig, Oh, I say, I say yes, I said,

911
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: I said right now is a tough decision, you know,

912
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,959
Speaker 1: tough answer. But right now I'm leaning toward yes, because

913
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: I still think he has some stuff left in the tanking.

914
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: If you keep him clean and allow him the wrong

915
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: freebak there, I think he could make some plasures just

916
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: like it did in twenty eighteen. I don't know. I

917
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: don't know. And here's what Timmy is gonna be very

918
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: interesting is when the Cowboys draft, where if they take

919
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 1: a linebacker in the first two rounds, then I don't

920
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: think you do it. I don't. I don't think you

921
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: do it because even if he's a free agent, you

922
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: can tender you know, you can easily tender a contract

923
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: to pay the player. Denver didn't do that to their

924
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: tackle Garrett Bowls, and they ended up deciding to you know, okay, hey,

925
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: we saw enough for you this year. We want to

926
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: bring you back on a long term deal. So I

927
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: just think with these injuries that have piled up right now,

928
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: I would I would not do it, especially knowing that

929
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: you're about to sign Dak Prescott to a pretty significant

930
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: deal and you're gonna have free agent dollars that are

931
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: going to be tight, and we just overall your cap

932
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be tight. So in order for you to

933
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: go ahead and you know, get another year out of him,

934
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: I think you really got to be sure, and injuries

935
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: have to play a part in it. And then also

936
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: the fact that you've got Jalen Smith and right now

937
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: the contract you've given Jaylen Smith um, you don't look,

938
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: that's not a winning contract for you. So how much

939
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: do you want to put it into this line? How

940
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: much do you want to put into this linebacker position?

941
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: And these two guys are questionable. You thought these guys

942
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: were trending up and right now they're not trending up

943
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: at least this year. Maybe a new coordinator can come

944
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: in here and fix this thing, but right now, I

945
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: don't know if I don't know if I could. Yes,

946
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: that's that's the key. It's a lot of trending. It's

947
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: a lot of trending down with this defensive coordinator. It

948
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: was a lot of trending up before he got here,

949
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: and now was a lot of trending down. So yeah,

950
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still on the fact that a new

951
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator or or some tidy's up because we never

952
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: knew if mcnolah's gonna be here or not, so just

953
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: some fixed fixtures and what he's doing, and maybe another

954
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: year to have the scheme going on and have these

955
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: guys learning and execute more properly. Maybe that might help

956
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: them because like you said, they were trending up. A

957
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: lot of guys were trending up. Yes, and that has

958
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: changed this season. Yes, yes, definitely all right, another fun show.

959
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 1: Let's get back on. Get back at it on Tuesday
