Speaker 1: All right, Players brought you by Hotels dot Com. You
Speaker 1: know the crew number forty two, Barry char the original,
Speaker 1: the Toledo Rocket, newest member of the show, and the
Speaker 1: Survivor himself, the lsu by you Bengal Tiger. Danny mccraig,
Speaker 1: the Survivor Survivor. It does it actually just quick. It
Speaker 1: actually does feel like a game day. It's crazy because
Speaker 1: it feels like game day, but it's something I already played,
Speaker 1: Like I woke up this morning. Yeah yeah, I'm like
Speaker 1: the first day of school. Little hype. I got my
Speaker 1: TV shirt, you know TV ready, you know, a little
Speaker 1: get my breakfast. I feel like I'm gonna go pull
Speaker 1: up to the stadium. Is there gonna be a Garrett
Speaker 1: vision today? Like? Hold on, man, we don't like this,
Speaker 1: so listen. Knowing you, I'm sure, I'm sure you'll find something.
Speaker 1: The Thursday episode of this show will be very interesting.
Speaker 1: Thursday show will be very interesting. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I'm knew he scrubs a long time Cowboys reporter, So
Speaker 1: forty five minutes a whole lot to get to second segment,
Speaker 1: We're gonna dive all into Survivor as it airs tonight
Speaker 1: on CBS UM locally here downspot Worth seven o'clock and
Speaker 1: catch it on channel eleven. The Cowboys getting ready to
Speaker 1: face the Eagles, and oh, by the way, the hits
Speaker 1: just keep on coming. Doran's Armstrong, who started last week
Speaker 1: with a high ankle spraying sill. You're hoping that Randy
Speaker 1: Gregory is off the COVID list for this game. It's
Speaker 1: expected to be he gets back at the defensive end spot.
Speaker 1: So no, Doran's Armstrong, tank Lord's got a broken foot.
Speaker 1: This is the question, do you put Michael Parsons back
Speaker 1: at defensive end or As we spoke about yesterday, you've
Speaker 1: got Jalen Hurts, a quarterback who's very mobile, he's the
Speaker 1: leading rusher. Is it better to have Parsons at linebacker? Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't want it to happen, man, But with this,
Speaker 1: with this Doran's Armstrong ankle injury, you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure how effective he'll be out there in containing Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1: And we all know if Hurts gets outside the pocket,
Speaker 1: that's when he becomes his best. He's a dual threat quarterback,
Speaker 1: and if he gets out of that pocket, he's able
Speaker 1: to extend plays. He got the receivers out there, Gregor,
Speaker 1: the first round guy Smith, so he got the receivers
Speaker 1: to extend players and launch the ball deep. So we
Speaker 1: gotta keep him in his pocket. And you know, I
Speaker 1: know I was big on putting Parsons back to linebacker
Speaker 1: because I believe in his sideline the sideline speed and
Speaker 1: his playmaking ability and coverage and stopping the run. But
Speaker 1: without Thor's Armstrong being there, I think you're kind of
Speaker 1: forced to put him back at that defensive end position
Speaker 1: because I don't I don't know if Azora Kamara can
Speaker 1: do it. Bradley and I don't know if those guys
Speaker 1: can do it. I know we'll have Gregory back on
Speaker 1: the left side, and I'm not worried about him. I
Speaker 1: know he's gonna come out flying, But that other side.
Speaker 1: You gotta have a strong guy on that other side
Speaker 1: to be able to contain him, or he's just gonna
Speaker 1: roll out to that side each and every time. I
Speaker 1: hate to say it, but I think they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to move Parsons back to defensive end and hopefully we
Speaker 1: get that same type of intensity that we had that
Speaker 1: Chargers game. Just don't do that up and undermove because
Speaker 1: hurt is gonna take advantage of that all day. We
Speaker 1: gotta keep this guy containing. I think Parsons might be
Speaker 1: our best answer. Yeah, listen, as I'm sitting here, and
Speaker 1: then you know, we didn't have somebody kind of predict
Speaker 1: that if something may go wrong and then you might
Speaker 1: have to leave Parsons that defensive end. I'm still at
Speaker 1: the mindset that I'd like to see him play more
Speaker 1: linebackers than defensive end. But thankfully my man DQ has
Speaker 1: another forty two back there who we can use as
Speaker 1: a spy if we need to. So, if you got
Speaker 1: U if forty two, if Keana Neil can get out
Speaker 1: there and be what we expect Parsons to be, and
Speaker 1: then we can move Parsons down to the end position.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that all right, But like you said,
Speaker 1: it's going to be a totally different game when Parsons
Speaker 1: has to come up to edge play the own read
Speaker 1: and then also worry about not having to do the
Speaker 1: up and under. And a lot of those defensive ends, man,
Speaker 1: they work their entire life on figuring out how to
Speaker 1: keep contained and also Russia at the same time, a
Speaker 1: Russian contained and that's something he hadn't done since high school.
Speaker 1: So you know, hopefully dan Quinn's coaching them up and
Speaker 1: and it hasn't ready, but I still would like to
Speaker 1: see him start at at linebacker and then things start
Speaker 1: to go a little wrong, then then then moving around
Speaker 1: a little bit. Bucky Brooks was on the break today
Speaker 1: and he said the best way to neutralize Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: was making play from the pocket. That's it. So based
Speaker 1: on what Bucky said, should you put Parsons at linebacker?
Speaker 1: And then maybe you said you go with Kamara Bradley
Speaker 1: and I you just kind of go with, you know,
Speaker 1: a rotation of guys that the other defensive end spot
Speaker 1: opposite Randy Gregory. Look, I'll go ahead, go ahead, man, Yeah, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm to be honest. I think all that always sounds
Speaker 1: really really good to make somebody play from the pocket.
Speaker 1: But when you got guys out there rushing, and you
Speaker 1: got a guy that this savvy and his creative as
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, it's very very hard to say, all right,
Speaker 1: as long as we keep these guys around him and
Speaker 1: make sure that we don't rush past them, that he's
Speaker 1: not gonna make a play. The man can still throw,
Speaker 1: He can still even if you get the ends rushing
Speaker 1: a little bit too far past them, that still opens
Speaker 1: up a big gap. I forgot about Troy Bashelm and
Speaker 1: Tarle Tarle Bashel. And that's the thing though with with Hurts,
Speaker 1: like you just mentioned, it's not all about just you know,
Speaker 1: making sure you stay outside. You got to make sure
Speaker 1: your level with this guy too, because if you rush
Speaker 1: right past them, you're just opening up that further gap
Speaker 1: for him to step up and either throw the ball
Speaker 1: down the field or take off and run. So there's
Speaker 1: definitely different variables to contain the guy like Hurts, And
Speaker 1: this is a whole new monster. When you talk about
Speaker 1: read and the what is that RPOs? And it's a
Speaker 1: whole different type of animals. So you know, last week,
Speaker 1: Parsons didn't really have to deal with that. It was
Speaker 1: more of a drop bad quarterback. He has some legs
Speaker 1: to him, but he's not really that RPO where he
Speaker 1: plays from the pocket. This is a whole different type
Speaker 1: of animal when you talk about a dual threat quarterback
Speaker 1: run and play at or RPOs and they're they're keying
Speaker 1: on they're keying on Parsons if he's gonna dive and
Speaker 1: take that dive at Miles Sanders and Hurt's gonna go
Speaker 1: on the outside, or is he gonna stick with Hurts
Speaker 1: and they hand it right off. So it's a whole
Speaker 1: different beast. And that's a lot to put on a
Speaker 1: rookies plate. I know he's been great at middle linebacker,
Speaker 1: and I know he's been a productive or a productive
Speaker 1: at the defensive end position. But that's a whole lot
Speaker 1: to put on a rookie to go out there and say,
Speaker 1: all right, we need you to shut this down tonight
Speaker 1: because we don't have anybody else. That's a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure to put on them. I think he and handle
Speaker 1: the pressure. He showed last week that he was amazing
Speaker 1: and he didn't come into that vision until Thursday. So
Speaker 1: this week he has a whole full week because really
Speaker 1: they don't start practice till tomorrow, and I think they
Speaker 1: he'll be able to handle it at defensive end. This
Speaker 1: is is going to be a second week doing it,
Speaker 1: and I just I personally don't trust our secondary as
Speaker 1: much for to not have Michael Parsons stop it at
Speaker 1: the beginning. Like I don't want Jalen to get through
Speaker 1: and then have so much time to throw the ball
Speaker 1: and get it to one of these his receivers or
Speaker 1: anything like that. I just want him to stop. Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons to stop it now. I think he's like obviously
Speaker 1: the best guy on defense at this point, and I
Speaker 1: think you stop it at the beginning of the play,
Speaker 1: not wait till he has time to do all of
Speaker 1: this other stuff. Yeah, and listen, I would love for
Speaker 1: him too now, but like Church said, he won't be
Speaker 1: going up against the backup. You know, it'll be a
Speaker 1: whole different ball game out there, and I really think
Speaker 1: that the zone read is going to be tough for him,
Speaker 1: and you know, It's just me. I want to see
Speaker 1: him play back there and be able to spy on
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. So so so he's not able to get
Speaker 1: around either edge. Hopefully we see that, but I know
Speaker 1: for sure he's going to be playing some defensive end. Okay,
Speaker 1: So so let me add this component in here. So
Speaker 1: we just keep talking about the Cowboys and defensive players
Speaker 1: and just what seems to be just this rash of
Speaker 1: injuries and issues. Carlos Watkins defensive tackle. Well, so do
Speaker 1: you you know another reason to put Parsons linebacker is, hey, man,
Speaker 1: if they want to start just trying to run up
Speaker 1: that middle, you know, if they start trying to go
Speaker 1: up there, you know you need some you know, you
Speaker 1: need some help there. So I'm just think, just listening
Speaker 1: to YouTube, you go with Gregory and bash him at
Speaker 1: your ends, and you utilize Parsons DQ just mixes him
Speaker 1: up wherever he mixes him up to make the Eagles
Speaker 1: offensive line think yeah, and you kind of go from there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't just I don't want him to just either
Speaker 1: be at defensive end or be at middle linebacker. I'd
Speaker 1: love to see them mix him around, like you just said,
Speaker 1: maybe throw some packages where he's at defensive end, because look,
Speaker 1: we got to move this guy around. I think he's
Speaker 1: a positionless guy, and I consider him a defensive weapon
Speaker 1: more than just a specific DN or a middle linebacker
Speaker 1: because he can do all types of things out there. So,
Speaker 1: you know, DQ, I'll give the benefit out to my
Speaker 1: boy Daddy. He seems like he's a defensive genius so far,
Speaker 1: so I'm sure he'll put the guys in the right position.
Speaker 1: But like you mentioned, KNEWI with that that Carlos Walkins,
Speaker 1: we were already shorthanded a defensive tackle, Nevil Gallimore. Where
Speaker 1: is Tristan Hill? Is he? Is he gonna come back
Speaker 1: any anytime soon? I mean, what is going on here?
Speaker 1: We need I mean, this defensive line right now is hurting,
Speaker 1: and look, Nevil Gallimore, he ain't coming back this week,
Speaker 1: Carlos Watkins down. We need these guys to step up.
Speaker 1: So I gotta have packages from my boy out there,
Speaker 1: just to use him as a weapon to get something
Speaker 1: after hurts or something after this run game, because we're
Speaker 1: gonna need it this Monday. Yeah, we're gonna need it.
Speaker 1: But you know, I got I got faith in DQ. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's gonna make it work like two weeks in a row,
Speaker 1: we manufactured that that that pressure at three weeks in
Speaker 1: a row. Okay, they put up a lot of passing
Speaker 1: yards on us in week one, but we want to
Speaker 1: think full turnovers. That's that's better than we had done
Speaker 1: in a long area lounge. He's gonna find a way
Speaker 1: to manufacture some pressure, manufactures some some stunts, make sure
Speaker 1: he's in those A and B gaps, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: and confuse Jayan a little bit. And I think that's
Speaker 1: what we need. Where do you think we need to
Speaker 1: get the most pressure from, you know, how we go
Speaker 1: against Tom Brady to always say you gotta get that
Speaker 1: interior pressure to mess him up and confuse him. Where
Speaker 1: do you think we need to get this pressure or
Speaker 1: where do you think we need to go or focus
Speaker 1: on to go against a guy like Hurts? Yeah, honestly,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna come from like like confusing them
Speaker 1: really not specifically outside Russia. Inside Russia. You have to
Speaker 1: make him not know where the blitz is coming from. Right,
Speaker 1: So if you're rushing right, you want him to think
Speaker 1: it's coming from the right, right, and then switch that
Speaker 1: thing over to the left and have him come back.
Speaker 1: We want to make sure that you're disguising and confusing him,
Speaker 1: just like we did justin Herbert, you know, so to
Speaker 1: make him make those mistakes. So I don't think it's
Speaker 1: like a specific location. I just think we have to
Speaker 1: be out there and Outsmarten's guy on. Most of Hurtses
Speaker 1: throws are going to come from the right, like throwing
Speaker 1: to the right. And I go back to what Bucky
Speaker 1: Brooks says, I think it's just a really good point.
Speaker 1: I got Hurt Hurts on my fantasy team, So you
Speaker 1: start to watch these games when these guys are on
Speaker 1: your fantasy team, and um, it's when he's out of
Speaker 1: that pocket. He's got options that he's able to do
Speaker 1: some stuff. He basically run the college office here, which
Speaker 1: is a smart job by the Eagles. You know, what
Speaker 1: do you do best. Let's to do what you do best.
Speaker 1: And I just think the biggest things just contain them.
Speaker 1: Just contain him within that pocket and get to the
Speaker 1: outside and you can find the botas smith a little bit.
Speaker 1: Then you know in that yards after to catch you,
Speaker 1: that's when you get killed. Killed, And they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to this secondary. They're gonna have to do a great
Speaker 1: job of plastering. Now in plaster and you know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, d maccots. When you're in the zone,
Speaker 1: things start to break down. Receivers start turning and going
Speaker 1: this way, going that way. Add lib into the route.
Speaker 1: That's what our secondary is gonna have to do a
Speaker 1: great job of just plaster and locking up who was
Speaker 1: ever is in your zone. That's what the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers did. They did a great job of plaster and
Speaker 1: when Hurts was able to get out and get and
Speaker 1: extend to play a little bit, their corners, their safeties
Speaker 1: were able to lock down and even if he did
Speaker 1: extend to play, throw it as an incomplete plaster. They
Speaker 1: made things hard for Hurts out there. And like you said,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to add that disguise to it. But
Speaker 1: most importantly, the secondary is gonna have to plaster when
Speaker 1: we're in zon coverage. I'll take you this about a secondary. Listen,
Speaker 1: they've been enjoyed this game. This is probably be one
Speaker 1: of the best matchups that they have as far as
Speaker 1: being able to cover some of these receivers. All Right,
Speaker 1: the first week you go up against Tom Brady and
Speaker 1: his game with god winning Mike Evans and grown next weekend.
Speaker 1: The next week you faced Keenan Allen and Mike Williams,
Speaker 1: who who've been balling this season, and now you get
Speaker 1: to go against a rookie and then Jalen Raiker who
Speaker 1: hasn't really proven himself for an entire season. Right, So
Speaker 1: this is the game where you go in and you
Speaker 1: establish your dominance as a defensive secondary. This is where
Speaker 1: you start to creep up into that top ten about
Speaker 1: not a line four or five hundred yards in the game,
Speaker 1: you just you just forgot about Antonio Brown. He's part
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady's game. He's on the COVID list. By
Speaker 1: the way, I'll tell you what he's not on my
Speaker 1: fantasy team. We're okay because I already already put him
Speaker 1: on the bench. Well, actually got an ir spot to
Speaker 1: put on a a spot, and we bumped up Courtland started.
Speaker 1: He started. He's starting this week for me instead of
Speaker 1: James Robinson because James Robinson down lappening to him. I
Speaker 1: got my got Robinson shoes right on the bench. Start
Speaker 1: bag straight killing me. I rem just hurting the game. Man.
Speaker 1: Lebody tell her remind what to do. He's gonna go
Speaker 1: back to college. So you know he's on health No,
Speaker 1: the first state mix, he's all health. Noticed now he
Speaker 1: start getting shaky, feeling too good. That friend said, Elizabeth
Speaker 1: anytime off, time off turned into that college. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, he's naking fourteen million dollars. So you
Speaker 1: know if i'm remind I'm not you're firing me, You're not.
Speaker 1: I'm not walking away from that. Fire me, you'll like
Speaker 1: me five. I feel like he's one of them guys
Speaker 1: that cares more about legacy. Absolutely. Then then then the bread.
Speaker 1: I feel like, hell, I'm one of the greatest coaches
Speaker 1: of all time. I can't take an ell nowhere. I
Speaker 1: feel like he's one of those type guys. But if
Speaker 1: you quit, it's not like he's gonna go take the
Speaker 1: sea job. He's not gonna do that. Tell if he quits,
Speaker 1: he's gonna take two years old. You gonna go back
Speaker 1: to the You're gonna go back to the mooth for
Speaker 1: a little. But but if you're pulling fourteen million year,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I don't care about Like I said, I
Speaker 1: want my straight cat, I want money. That's what Ohio
Speaker 1: State take Urban Meyer back? What what Ohio State take
Speaker 1: Urban back? I mean, that situation wasn't his fault, but
Speaker 1: he obviously as the head coach, had to take you
Speaker 1: know whatever, and took his little year off after. I
Speaker 1: think so. I think that's where his legacy lies is
Speaker 1: with Ohio State more than anything. So I think so.
Speaker 1: So we fired in Ryan Day right now, looking a
Speaker 1: little rook, Irban Marber Cruits start getting up out of there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: st started to look a little different. You guys got
Speaker 1: no heart. Many Day has done a good job. Man,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's an Let me tell you something. And
Speaker 1: I was a Les Miles guy, Okay, Les Miles crew
Speaker 1: to me. But I tell you what. When the talent
Speaker 1: started to change from guys that Nick Saban had recruited
Speaker 1: to guys that Les Miles was breaking in there, you
Speaker 1: saw a little downfall come with LSU. All right, we
Speaker 1: still made some we still made some plays, but we
Speaker 1: had we had some true talent when I first got there.
Speaker 1: All right, So Irban Mars gone, Ryan Dave's taken over,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, these dudes started looking like
Speaker 1: they look at every Wait wait wait wait wait wait
Speaker 1: didn't Oil State played for the national championship last year?
Speaker 1: So we're talking about pushing the dude out to bringing
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer. They talk about they talk aboutetting older run
Speaker 1: about it up two years ago. He had the best,
Speaker 1: he had the best way, he had the best ever
Speaker 1: in the history of college football. Now I go to
Speaker 1: my boy Chris Landry on this Landry football dot com.
Speaker 1: Chris used to be a coach of the LSU and
Speaker 1: he said, forever in the day at Oseron is a
Speaker 1: good recruiter and he got he believes it. He got
Speaker 1: lucky because he had Joe Burrow and that Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: was out there. Basically, Joe Burrow was a dude out
Speaker 1: here getting people of practice like that. They were following
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and he said, they got Joe Brady and
Speaker 1: he said it was the coaches and the perfect storm
Speaker 1: kind of like what Jeane chisick. Let me finish. I
Speaker 1: am not and that ocean run under the new ad
Speaker 1: Scott Woodward ain't gonna last if he has seven wins
Speaker 1: or last. I just think that's crazy, right, So he
Speaker 1: put the right guys around him, right. He got Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow to transfer in from Ohio State. He did that right.
Speaker 1: Joe Burrows Ohio State riding the Pine and my man
Speaker 1: osann Win got him. He went to the Saints and
Speaker 1: got Joe Brady, who was not offensive coordinator. He was
Speaker 1: like an assistant coach up there, right, and then he
Speaker 1: got him to come in there. He had dave around
Speaker 1: there's on defense. He surrounded himself kind of like you know,
Speaker 1: somebody is here with the cowboys with the right type
Speaker 1: of guys to get them where they needed to go.
Speaker 1: And what's wrong with that? And where something? They all
Speaker 1: got head coaching job? I mean Joe Joe Brady's office
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Panels. Who do he bring in last year? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was rough? Okay, what happened to that? Ryan Days?
Speaker 1: Ryan Days on his way to the older run train. Man,
Speaker 1: that's the case. I'm just trying to tell you your
Speaker 1: boy coach Alicia is a lot shorter Ryan Days. Lesia
Speaker 1: is very long. I would say that the last time
Speaker 1: Bopolini was was coaching at LSU, he was winning national championship. So,
Speaker 1: I mean whatever, it seemed like, you know, people thought
Speaker 1: it was gonna work out for he seemed testing when
Speaker 1: we went there, tested tested list. I would defend mine.
Speaker 1: You make sure you defend unc Penbrook like that. Okay, Penbrook.
Speaker 1: We won, by the way, Okay, celebrate that one week,
Speaker 1: dub boy too, and on in that conference where who's next,
Speaker 1: Chris be I don't want to hear it from you, Chris,
Speaker 1: I man cutting everybody out the day you getting cut
Speaker 1: cut one directional college playing Penbrook next week. You don't
Speaker 1: worry about that. But then LSU have Lennahan was there
Speaker 1: last year? Yeah, that was backing. I don't know why
Speaker 1: we did that and who brought there that was? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: people make mistakes. I mean last year. You listen, you
Speaker 1: bought into Big Mike. So I got a bunch of leeway.
Speaker 1: You bought it the Big Mike lash. We're gonna take
Speaker 1: a break, is Danny tries to rationalize the downfall this

Speaker 1: He cannot give details away here. Um, there's a tight
Speaker 1: restrictions on him being a cast member about what you
Speaker 1: can and cannot say. We don't want to mess with
Speaker 1: with any of that. We want to make sure we
Speaker 1: protect that as they go through the show. But the
Speaker 1: location for this year Survivor is beautiful Fiji. Who Yeah,
Speaker 1: the French Polynesia. Yeah, we were out there in Fiji.
Speaker 1: And the truth is, before I went out there, if
Speaker 1: you showed me a map, I would not be able
Speaker 1: to point that thing out. Okay, But Fiji is a
Speaker 1: very beautiful place, a lot of beautiful islands, uh waters,
Speaker 1: blue weather's great, um, you know, except except it was hot,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's beautiful as you wanted to be,
Speaker 1: except when you out there, you know, you know, sleeping
Speaker 1: on bamboo and and and the saying out there with
Speaker 1: the crabs and the and the spiders. Now would you
Speaker 1: want to go out there again? Now that you have
Speaker 1: done survivor and how to you know, have the actual
Speaker 1: like resort experience of it? Are you done with Fiji?
Speaker 1: You know? Listen, I gotta it's a love hate thing
Speaker 1: with with Fiji. Okay. If somebody invited me to go,
Speaker 1: I would, But if you ask me where I wanted
Speaker 1: to go, I would not say Fiji, just because I mean,
Speaker 1: I've seen it, all right, It's other place this is
Speaker 1: to go. It's a beautiful place, beautiful people. Um. But
Speaker 1: I got some other places on my list that I'd
Speaker 1: like to like to try out, such as Yo. Back
Speaker 1: to your want, I want to I want to do
Speaker 1: a dubai, I want to do a pouquet. Thailand, I
Speaker 1: went there. If you need any advice, but it was nice, amazing,
Speaker 1: and you live like a king or queen there because
Speaker 1: it's so so cheap, like drinks fifty cents American dollars,
Speaker 1: like the place we stayed was a giant, beautiful place
Speaker 1: and paid like three hundred dollars a night for a
Speaker 1: house chef every day. At the top of my survivor pouquet,
Speaker 1: was that before after the typhoon he hit over there
Speaker 1: in Thailand. What year did it hit? I can't remember.
Speaker 1: A couple of years it was, it was it was
Speaker 1: I went like three years, three or four years ago. Okay,
Speaker 1: that was probably after, but I remember I remember just
Speaker 1: seeing the video of the Deva station of and people
Speaker 1: are talking about just you know, what a beautiful place
Speaker 1: it was, and just how how how cheap once again
Speaker 1: cheaply had to go over there, and then just to
Speaker 1: see that when that typhoon hit, He's like, now you
Speaker 1: hated it for because it's a beautiful, all the different pictures,
Speaker 1: it's amazing, a great time over there. It's amazing, So
Speaker 1: you know, I know you know, Barry Les to call
Speaker 1: you the black Survivor, but they're actually what five other
Speaker 1: black people that were on the show this season. This
Speaker 1: is the most diverse season of Survivor. Tell us about that. Yes,
Speaker 1: so CBS has mandated for their reality TV shows that
Speaker 1: fifty percent of each cast they have to be people
Speaker 1: of color. So not only did we have five black
Speaker 1: people on the show, we had people from Toronto on
Speaker 1: the show. We had the LGBTQ community on the show.
Speaker 1: We had Asians on the show. Like it's literally, uh
Speaker 1: representation from almost everybody in America. So it looks more
Speaker 1: like what America is versus what it had looked like
Speaker 1: in the past. So just push your liberal agenda on
Speaker 1: the show. No, no, I'm not. I'm not pushing a
Speaker 1: lib but see, see this is this is the reason
Speaker 1: why somebody like Nate would say, are you talking aboutnigga
Speaker 1: in a phrase? Because when when you think of Survivor,
Speaker 1: you don't really think of black people watching it like
Speaker 1: that because they don't usually get to see themselves that
Speaker 1: much on the show. Right, So now you have five
Speaker 1: different individuals who African American may be able to relate with, right,
Speaker 1: So then now you pull in a whole new crowd,
Speaker 1: and it's it's an amazing game. So I'm actually excited
Speaker 1: for for for the new crowd that we're gonna have
Speaker 1: watching the show. Yeah, you're gonna have tons of new fans.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'm seeing super hard Danny, my big league
Speaker 1: us and be like, I'm too cool for you. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just me. I at the end of that,
Speaker 1: I know I'd never be like church, take church servants,
Speaker 1: take me to church, his sticks and day out. I'm
Speaker 1: telling that man, say, I'm not gonna be the next week,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna vacation. I want to sign. I want to
Speaker 1: sign that. I yes, yes, And we covered that well,
Speaker 1: we covered that well. I don't know how many shows
Speaker 1: it was. But I always would say Danny, Danny was
Speaker 1: on the sign, made sure we include usually and I
Speaker 1: always said on the signment I didn't know and I
Speaker 1: didn't ask. This is true. I didn't this is true
Speaker 1: and I and I and I appreciate it, but you
Speaker 1: didn't make me lie to you. I don't want to lie.
Speaker 1: And later on then later on I found out and
Speaker 1: I just shut up. But I did I didn't do that.
Speaker 1: So what did you learn about television production? Having done
Speaker 1: the show Surviving U, I learned that there's there was
Speaker 1: a lot more that goes into the show than what
Speaker 1: you see on camera, which is probably as much as
Speaker 1: I can say about it. Um, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: work that goes into it. A lot of people are
Speaker 1: super dedicated to making sure that the best products has shown.
Speaker 1: And uh heyeh, I saw some stuff out there that
Speaker 1: I didn't think I would see. Now, did you not
Speaker 1: get Do you get to see the show before everybody else?
Speaker 1: Or you're gonna swatch it tonight Live with Us and
Speaker 1: you know, any alliances that you might have not noticed
Speaker 1: on the show, you'll get to see that out. Yes,
Speaker 1: this will be my first time seeing it. I have
Speaker 1: no idea who was talking tread behind my back. I
Speaker 1: have no idea what they're gonna show me saying how
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look, none of that. So I'll be seeing
Speaker 1: it for the first time with everybody else. So that's
Speaker 1: why I said, I think Church Church is gonna have
Speaker 1: some fun with it. But that's okay, that's okay, that's
Speaker 1: I guess that's the risk out for the tricky editing.
Speaker 1: Be ready for the tricky editor. Ready for the tricky
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's you two. Ever done reality? Yeah,
Speaker 1: not anything crazy, but um yeah, I've done little stuff
Speaker 1: and just being on TV doing stuff like I've done
Speaker 1: The Steve Harvey Show a couple of times, and so
Speaker 1: like you actually shoot everything and then they like take
Speaker 1: a little piece of what what it is and put
Speaker 1: it on the show. And I was like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I wish they would have let me finish my sentence
Speaker 1: like that. What was the editing point on there? For you?
Speaker 1: When you're on the Steve Harvey Show, You're like, man,
Speaker 1: I was a tricky edit right there. Well, the show
Speaker 1: was actually it was about people that had slid into
Speaker 1: my DMS, and so I was like picking people, you know,
Speaker 1: that I wanted on the show, and so there was
Speaker 1: a whole part where I was kind of talking to
Speaker 1: Steve about why I was going to pick who I
Speaker 1: was going to pick or whatever, and they didn't show
Speaker 1: any of that, and like, really I picked the guy
Speaker 1: because I was like, oh, well he loves the lord
Speaker 1: that I do, and YadA YadA. But then they just
Speaker 1: showed clips of that guy as like oh yeah, like
Speaker 1: being all like romantic kind of sounding and so they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: of course Brett picks this guy and then this guy,
Speaker 1: this other guy seemed so smart on the show, and
Speaker 1: I didn't pick him. So they're like, oh, she's shallow.
Speaker 1: She just picked the cute guy, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: he had a whole gospel part of the show that
Speaker 1: was got out. So the whole show you did was
Speaker 1: you and other people just about was the social media
Speaker 1: people that were trying to Yeah, it was that particular
Speaker 1: show was just me on that show, but it was
Speaker 1: I had three bachelors or whatever that came onto the
Speaker 1: show that had slid into my dms, and so Steve
Speaker 1: like vets them to make sure they're not crazy, and
Speaker 1: so this was like supposed to be a chance for
Speaker 1: me to like meet them, and then me and Steve
Speaker 1: did like a Q and A with everybody to see
Speaker 1: who I was gonna pick to go on a date one.
Speaker 1: So the story I did for you, I know you're
Speaker 1: doing TV work here for Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Terrell
Speaker 1: Basham had his mom go on Steve Harvey and he
Speaker 1: was trying to get his mom set up with a
Speaker 1: couple of guys and so sat there. So maybe maybe
Speaker 1: you guys, get well, wait, there's more. Then I hear
Speaker 1: something about the Church family was almost on family feuds.
Speaker 1: Oh we were, well, I wasn't oh my mom and
Speaker 1: her whole family, or my whole family, my grandparents, my grandmam,
Speaker 1: my aunts. It was all the women of my family
Speaker 1: were on. I forgot about that. They were on Steve
Speaker 1: Harvey and they did the whole family feud thing. It
Speaker 1: was pretty dope. It was pretty dope actually. But they
Speaker 1: destroyed all the evidence because I was like, nah, I
Speaker 1: did not like how I looked on television and the restaurant.
Speaker 1: So she was like, I destroyed all the evidence. But well,
Speaker 1: and on Steve Harvey, they do like your makeup and
Speaker 1: hear and everything. And they had me looking like crazy
Speaker 1: if I don't really wear that much makeup. They had
Speaker 1: me caked up like I was going to the club
Speaker 1: and I was no makeup, raw and not cut. Listen,
Speaker 1: and this is this is for everybody what you know
Speaker 1: about the show. And if you ever like washed it
Speaker 1: and you said, oh man, they got like porter parties
Speaker 1: back there. They probably got some soap you know, x
Speaker 1: y Z. They really starving out there. That's a lie. Okay,
Speaker 1: It ain't none of that to do it again, I
Speaker 1: got to see how this one shows yo, So so
Speaker 1: maybe maybe well not even the show part, but just
Speaker 1: the experience like having to be out there and you're hungry,
Speaker 1: you're not getting your three meals a day, you're not
Speaker 1: on your phone. Was that an experience you would go through?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I would go through that again. I would.
Speaker 1: I would go through that again. But like I said,
Speaker 1: I need to see like how the entire show plays
Speaker 1: out first before I'm like, oh yeah, I put myself
Speaker 1: through having to watch this type of stuff. How did
Speaker 1: you How did you train to eat? Because I mean
Speaker 1: it ain't like you getting you can go to MC down,
Speaker 1: you can go get you a steak over here, Like so, well,
Speaker 1: how did you train yourself know that the food was
Speaker 1: gonna be sparkled? Yeah? So you know it was so
Speaker 1: it was doing quarantine. So the first time I did it,
Speaker 1: I would like try to eat like just lunch and
Speaker 1: then try to make it throughout the day and see
Speaker 1: how that worked. But then when I got the extra
Speaker 1: year because of quarantine, I would like wake up, make
Speaker 1: a bowl of old meal, put some like bananas becomes
Speaker 1: all that stuff, A nice bowl of od meal, and
Speaker 1: that would be all I ate. So when we did
Speaker 1: those workouts and I would do cardio school, all I
Speaker 1: ate was a bowl of old meal. I'll do a workout,
Speaker 1: then I'll run like three four miles, and then I'll
Speaker 1: sit there and I'll see, like how my mind works,
Speaker 1: how my body's reacting, right, because you know some people
Speaker 1: get angry, Yeah, and I'm one of them people. Did
Speaker 1: you start developing that? Like, No, I already knew I
Speaker 1: was HI, all right. I was trying. I was trying
Speaker 1: to make sure that I knew how to like I
Speaker 1: was aware that I was getting to that point and
Speaker 1: then you know, how to manage it without like rubbing
Speaker 1: somebody the wrong way, getting upset with the with the
Speaker 1: white because you know this time she's pregnant. So you know,
Speaker 1: I think that helped me a lot. Well, how is
Speaker 1: he in the workouts? Then? Since you were working out,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I ain't see no difference. I was leaving him. Yeah.

Speaker 1: try to be Danny. Yeah, I ain gonna ain't gonna
Speaker 1: worry about that one. The show is real, That's all
Speaker 1: you need to know. It a survivor tonight, CBS eleven locally,
Speaker 1: Danny mccray's a part of the cast. Let's jump back
Speaker 1: into the Cowboys. Amari Cooper dealing with ribs. Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: on Tuesday would not reveal whether or not he thought
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper was going to play. So because you were
Speaker 1: former players, let me simply ask you this, what goes
Speaker 1: into taking a shot if you've got rib issues? Um,
Speaker 1: in terms of trying to play and Amari Cooper, you know,
Speaker 1: we don't know if he'll be there Monday or not,
Speaker 1: but just what does that entail? Because you know fans
Speaker 1: all thing. Oh man, it's go ahead, get a shot ahead.
Speaker 1: You want me to start this one ahead? Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. So my my rookie year, um, I
Speaker 1: had a high ankle sprain. And then while I had
Speaker 1: the ankle sprain, I would get it shot up before
Speaker 1: each game, probably for like the last six games. YEA,
Speaker 1: the needle if you get the camera, the needle is
Speaker 1: about that long, all right, and when they stick it
Speaker 1: into when they stuck it into my ankle, they had
Speaker 1: to They have to move it around, so it's not
Speaker 1: just like getting a vaccine shot or something. They stick
Speaker 1: that long needle on there, they wiggle it around, super painful,
Speaker 1: and then that whole area goes numb, right, it goes,
Speaker 1: It goes super numb. It's super painful. And I had
Speaker 1: gotten so many at that time that by the time
Speaker 1: we got to the final game of the season. Were
Speaker 1: my second year, we were eight and eight. I think
Speaker 1: we were playing the Giants, and if we win and
Speaker 1: we go to the we go to the playoffs. And
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett walked back, walked back, and Britt was with
Speaker 1: me and he was like, Jason, we can't keep doing this.
Speaker 1: We can't keep doing it. Because that point I couldn't
Speaker 1: walk out. I did it for like six weeks. So
Speaker 1: it's it's serious risk that goes into it. It's just
Speaker 1: it's not an easy decision to make, and it's super painful.
Speaker 1: It's not just go back there and get a shot. So,
Speaker 1: you know, more power to the to the players that
Speaker 1: are actually able to go out there and get that done. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a terrible experience. I mean I did it something
Speaker 1: similar when I did my ankle. I just did it
Speaker 1: one time because that was enough pain for me to
Speaker 1: be like, nah, I can't do this no more. Like
Speaker 1: Danny said, they moved that thing around. So you hitting
Speaker 1: nerves and all types of stuff, and eventually it goes numb.
Speaker 1: So you feel like, oh, I'm good now. So you
Speaker 1: go out there, you play it. Then you do great.
Speaker 1: That next day you might not feel it as much,
Speaker 1: but that following day, two days after the game, it
Speaker 1: hurts like hell and you just want to just give
Speaker 1: up football for life after that. So it's a tough
Speaker 1: thing to do. And now, in a Mari's case, if
Speaker 1: I'm him, I'm not doing it. I'm saying, look, I'm
Speaker 1: doing it because like I'm going out there, I'm making
Speaker 1: the big bucks. Y'all proved last week with me just
Speaker 1: getting two catches for sixteen yards that y'all can go
Speaker 1: out there and y'all can still be productive without me
Speaker 1: going out there, so theyin't like the offense is gonna
Speaker 1: go to shambles without Margie Cooper being out there. And
Speaker 1: so if I'm him, I'm not doing it. But if
Speaker 1: I'm you know, an a Zora Kamara, if I'm an
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent out there who's barely on the team,
Speaker 1: you know, barely made the team, scrap scraping by, barely
Speaker 1: to get on there, you think about making those type
Speaker 1: of decisions. I mean, when I was a rookie and
Speaker 1: I was, you know, barely on the team, my ankle
Speaker 1: was messed up. I had to make that decision do
Speaker 1: I want to play or risk losing my spot because
Speaker 1: I didn't go out there getting Wally Pipps. So it's
Speaker 1: all depending on where you're at. But in the Mari situation,
Speaker 1: or you got the big bucks almost solidified guy, you
Speaker 1: got so I'm not taking it. So so you're the
Speaker 1: so you're the head coach of the team. Put yourself
Speaker 1: in and you're the head coach of the team. You
Speaker 1: walk to the trainers, the trainer say, yeah, he'll be okay,
Speaker 1: he'd take the shot. You know, he'll be able to
Speaker 1: make it through the game. Uh So now you go
Speaker 1: talk to mar You said, hey, man, this is this
Speaker 1: is what the trainer said. Okay, so you got to it.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You're the head coach though, So how do
Speaker 1: you feel now when he says no, I'm I'm gotta
Speaker 1: respect it because because you can't, you can you can't
Speaker 1: just cut the guy. I mean, he still got guaranteed
Speaker 1: bucks on the board, So I mean, you gotta respect.
Speaker 1: You can't force him to do put a needle up
Speaker 1: in his body like that. We've been talking about who's
Speaker 1: the number one guy? Is it Amari? Is it Ced?
Speaker 1: This would solidify that it's going to be CD. Then
Speaker 1: to me that in that case, if I'm like a
Speaker 1: coach and he doesn't want to do it, because we've
Speaker 1: had I mean, Drew Brees came out earlier this year
Speaker 1: and said that he had had over eleven broken ribs
Speaker 1: and he always played. He never would miss a game.
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson had the same situation, played the whole season
Speaker 1: with broken ribs. And these are like quarterbacks. And granted, yes,
Speaker 1: Amari said he or this or they said that this
Speaker 1: had happened in the first game, and he that's why
Speaker 1: he kind of didn't play as well the second game.
Speaker 1: And then obviously towards the end of the second game,
Speaker 1: we saw he was very hurt. And so it's like
Speaker 1: does he even play this third game? But yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you still suit up obviously, like just give me
Speaker 1: like less less reps, let's figure something out. But I
Speaker 1: still play and then I get the other side of it,
Speaker 1: where you don't want to have the Tyrod Taylor situation
Speaker 1: come where you get your lungs, you know, stabbed on
Speaker 1: accident and are punctured. So I mean, I get both sides,
Speaker 1: but I think in the business of football, you just
Speaker 1: have to suit up and and that's the thing. It's
Speaker 1: a business. Yeah, So when when you go out there
Speaker 1: and you you hurt yourself even further, the organization gonna
Speaker 1: be like, oh man, he are you going to hurt
Speaker 1: yourself further from a bruised rib? Yeah, you break them things. Listen,
Speaker 1: but they've all played with broken ribs. Who's they all?
Speaker 1: The guys I mentioned Drew Brees and m Deshaun Watson,
Speaker 1: their ribs were actually broken. This is just a bruce.
Speaker 1: So if they could play with broken ribs, yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: well I touch quarterbacks. Yeah, you know, you just fall down.
Speaker 1: And I will say that then everybody is different, right, Um,
Speaker 1: so Witten could play with a Bruce Sternham and broken
Speaker 1: Sternham and then it may affect somebody else a different way.
Speaker 1: I will say this is about a Mark Cooper. If
Speaker 1: you're hurt, just don't play, because we know what you
Speaker 1: put out there, you know what I'm saying, when you injured,
Speaker 1: and then weeks later we have to find out just like,
Speaker 1: uh oh, yeah, he's been done with this since week
Speaker 1: one and then go out there week two and it's
Speaker 1: almost invisible, you know what I'm saying. So just healed
Speaker 1: it up so we don't have this lingering throughout the
Speaker 1: whole season. I did say that I believe that Ceede
Speaker 1: Lamb will eventually be the number one guy. I don't
Speaker 1: know if this solidifies it, but this is going to
Speaker 1: give him an opportunity to make those plays. So he
Speaker 1: played for the Cowboys when the Jags, you played for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, went to the Bears, came back to the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Is there are there any situations that you can recall
Speaker 1: where there was a players like, nah, I want to
Speaker 1: take that shot. I'm just gonna set this one out.
Speaker 1: And were there any ramifications for that particular player. You
Speaker 1: don't have to give me a name or I would
Speaker 1: give your name because I don't. I don't know specifically
Speaker 1: if it was about taking shot or not. But when
Speaker 1: when I say this, man, Jay Cutler, we had no
Speaker 1: idea if he was coming out of the play, you
Speaker 1: know if he was gonna be ready, if he really
Speaker 1: wanted to be out there or not, just based on
Speaker 1: his demeanor and his availability. Yeah, I had no idea,
Speaker 1: So yes, yeah, I did have one. And we went
Speaker 1: five and eleven, and we had no idea when he
Speaker 1: was gonna be out there, how he was gonna play.
Speaker 1: And I brought my back to the Dallas and I
Speaker 1: played for a guy who broke his collarbone and did
Speaker 1: everything he can to get back in the game and
Speaker 1: then got out there and got hurt again. But he
Speaker 1: put it all on the line to make sure he
Speaker 1: was out there for a team. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: he said, what are y'all gonna do when I get back?
Speaker 1: Win it all? Now we didn't do it because he
Speaker 1: went out there and got hurt again. But that's the
Speaker 1: type of guy that that I enjoyed playing for. When
Speaker 1: you play falls, then let me ask you this. When
Speaker 1: you if you're hurt and you go out there, you
Speaker 1: do it all for the team. You're doing all this.
Speaker 1: You're going out there and playing hurt. When you go
Speaker 1: out there, Let's just say your play slips for the
Speaker 1: next four or five games because of the injury. Our
Speaker 1: organization's gonna look at you like, oh man, he's hurt,
Speaker 1: that's the only reason that he's played slipping, or they're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh man, this dude can't get it done.
Speaker 1: Let me go ahead and bring it the next guy
Speaker 1: that can get it done, well, I think and Amaris case, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: his case is a little different because this is actually
Speaker 1: this is kind of a consistent thing. So last year
Speaker 1: he's hurt, he has a foot surgery. Uh, he comes back.
Speaker 1: This year he gets hurt in the first game, and
Speaker 1: then now he's available is in question and now we
Speaker 1: found out that he was he had been hurt in
Speaker 1: Week two. Messed up your fantasy team. And I would
Speaker 1: questioning if he's gonna be available for for week three.
Speaker 1: His guarantees are up after this year. Guarantees are up
Speaker 1: after this year. Is making twenty million, but the guarantees
Speaker 1: are up, So does that factory into it. You need
Speaker 1: to be available, man, and and in football is a sports,
Speaker 1: sometimes you're just not available. Like shun Lee, nothing against
Speaker 1: him because he did everything he possibly could to stay healthy.
Speaker 1: He spent a lot of money on his body and
Speaker 1: he just couldn't stay healthy. It's nothing against the guy
Speaker 1: as a person. Sometimes football just does that to people.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying that I think right now,
Speaker 1: you know, we're seeing that with with with a marketing.
Speaker 1: Look at Dware towards the end of his Cowboys career,
Speaker 1: the same thing happened. It's back. He just couldn't stay healthy.
Speaker 1: Fight way. Dware is um the list came out for
Speaker 1: first year football his first ballot. He's he's on that list,
Speaker 1: top ten all time him in NFL sacks. So um,
Speaker 1: good luck to him, good luck to him. And I
Speaker 1: lugged out and you saw the segment on Hard Knocks
Speaker 1: where you saw where Michael Parsons together out to me
Speaker 1: that that just warm to my heart watching that right there.
Speaker 1: It's I guess that's what we should have known. Even
Speaker 1: I mean even on his Twitter, he's been like calling like, no,
Speaker 1: Michael Parson's got it, He's gonna be good. He continues
Speaker 1: to cheer him on because I found him on Twitter
Speaker 1: and he's always saying something that's what we should have
Speaker 1: known him. We see Hard Knocks like Michael Parson's about
Speaker 1: to be a beast out here because of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he went over there with three vote three votes, three
Speaker 1: vote three Vote Trophy Club, So, um, does this is
Speaker 1: this a must win? Though? Like this is a divisional game,
Speaker 1: and I feel like the NFC East kind of always
Speaker 1: comes down to the last game of the season and
Speaker 1: it's everybody's within one or two games. So would this
Speaker 1: be a game that is, you know, a must win
Speaker 1: for the team? I would say, no, that's like this
Speaker 1: an old teammate Quasi on the show one day, But no,
Speaker 1: I don't think this is ah that I answered it. Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a must win just because
Speaker 1: it's so early. So we gotta go ahead, just because
Speaker 1: it's so early into the season and and nothing is
Speaker 1: really unfolded, right, So I think we need some more
Speaker 1: time to get into the season to see how these
Speaker 1: teams are really gonna play. It would be great to
Speaker 1: win it. So at this point you would sit Cooper
Speaker 1: and then figured it out later. I wouldn't sit them.
Speaker 1: You would play him as well. I'm playing with twenty men.
Speaker 1: He's gonna play. Yeah, alright, the play is loud show.
