Speaker 2: Hie. But we could get it. We'll take it first Hi,
Speaker 2: and we can get it.
Speaker 3: Takes place, you know, And look, I believe, I believe.
Speaker 5: Would you believe the Philadelphia would lose last night and
Speaker 5: they got beat twenty six? Okay, twenty four, twenty five.
Speaker 5: The twenty four to twenty one is what we had.
Speaker 5: It was a twenty decision. Take any credit for that.
Speaker 5: You copied verbta what Newiest said. You can't come on
Speaker 5: man like.
Speaker 2: You were Yeah, you was wrong.
Speaker 5: Ma Harrison had the same opportunity as Danny mccraig. New
Speaker 5: He scared like the players lie. You went twenty one
Speaker 5: fifteen Philadelphia to win. In Church went twenty fourth seventeen
Speaker 5: Philly to win. But I said, we believe Drew Locke
Speaker 5: and Matt Patrician. That's what really, I believe that Matt
Speaker 5: Patrician not getting it done. Go down the field on dude,
Speaker 5: what kind of defense in you coming straight down the field?
Speaker 6: Man? I will say this, you gotta be able to
Speaker 6: trust in Bradberry though.
Speaker 2: You gotta be able to.
Speaker 6: Have some type of time you got it, Like, Okay,
Speaker 6: we're gonna call the player, Hey, man, you you are
Speaker 6: a guy. Okay, we got to be able to believe that,
Speaker 6: you know, because he was the most veteran guy, uh
Speaker 6: in the sect that they had out there. Okay, because
Speaker 6: slave was out true? Now that true? You know that's true.
Speaker 6: But can I say this? I say I just I was.
Speaker 6: I was ticked off watching that game, first of all,
Speaker 6: because I have never seen a man be publicly neutered
Speaker 6: like my man Shun de Side got yesterday.
Speaker 2: That was called work.
Speaker 6: And I'm telling you, man, like I'll be watching TV
Speaker 6: sometimes seeing stuff on social media, and I asked myself,
Speaker 6: I want to do people in their.
Speaker 4: Consciousness see how wrong this is.
Speaker 2: That was wrong. The camera pans to him.
Speaker 6: He's in the play in the press spot, drawing up
Speaker 6: the play, drawing up the defense and Matt Patricia is
Speaker 6: down there on the sideline giving.
Speaker 2: Up the goat. Listen. It's amazing to.
Speaker 6: Me to see something like that happening. And hey, wait
Speaker 6: a minute, before you say you already know already, let
Speaker 6: me say this.
Speaker 2: Let me say this. You already know.
Speaker 6: I don't care anything about the institutional control for the
Speaker 6: Philadelphia Eagles. Detonate immediately. Okay, you know what, you know
Speaker 6: how I feel about him. But Danny, come on, man,
Speaker 6: that's just wrong. I'm just saying you up. So you
Speaker 6: could be upset about somebody on the Eagles, right, but
Speaker 6: when it's me saying that I had respect, If you
Speaker 6: are a certain person on the Eagles, then it's a problem.
Speaker 6: But but you were pissed off last night. I'm talking
Speaker 6: about that. Had they was all in yo emoss, I was.
Speaker 6: I couldn't believe it. I'm like, are they doing this
Speaker 6: to this band? And on National ten they're ten and three?
Speaker 6: They are ten and three right now, And I'm telling
Speaker 6: Charles McDonald from y'allho Sports writes a great article on
Speaker 6: this on how shunder Side got replaced with Matt Patricia.
Speaker 6: But I just I felt that I was alarmed by
Speaker 6: them making this move, but also just kind of publicizing.
Speaker 6: It's still putting this guy out there on front Street
Speaker 6: for everybody to see him get done the way that
Speaker 6: he did. And it'd be a different thing if they
Speaker 6: were already struggling as a team. They're already in the playoffs,
Speaker 6: They've been number one seed for a very long time.
Speaker 6: It's San Francisco has been making their way up. But
Speaker 6: for them to demote him like that, man, I just
Speaker 6: I thought it was cold. I like this because I
Speaker 6: want everybody listening to hear this scene, right because when
Speaker 6: they be telling me, I sound like I'm an Eagles
Speaker 6: fan and I care about the Eagles. All that you
Speaker 6: care about people, don't you? You just care about people?
Speaker 6: Ain't that what it is? You care about people? I
Speaker 6: care about it too. It's a tough.
Speaker 2: Would he rather get fired? He probably got.
Speaker 4: I rather got wouldn't you have rather got fired? I
Speaker 4: really let me go.
Speaker 6: I have been over there wishing against Patricia the whole
Speaker 6: time on the sideline and just waiting for something like
Speaker 6: that happened at the end of the yew two yards bro.
Speaker 6: I mean, where else they going with the ball? Sound
Speaker 6: like he got his justice. It sounds like he got
Speaker 6: his justice.
Speaker 2: Blame. That's crazy.
Speaker 5: So what I thought, to go back to what you said,
Speaker 5: if you read earlier in the day the stories of
Speaker 5: players had lost faith in the side, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: this is the media plant right here. This is this
Speaker 5: is somebody, an anonymous source right in the front office
Speaker 5: who went out here and tipped off a bunch of
Speaker 5: people that players said they didn't believe in the DC.
Speaker 5: And what submit to me when I saw the move
Speaker 5: that when Jay Glade were reported, I'm like, man, this
Speaker 5: is a panic move. I clearly rem remembered listening on
Speaker 5: an early Monday morning about it was on WIP the
Speaker 5: radio station. I wanted to me it was a catald.
Speaker 5: He might have still been there, but they were going
Speaker 5: after Jonathan Gannon and Nick Siriann and going off on
Speaker 5: the coordinators. This guy's not good, he's this, he's that,
Speaker 5: He's supposed to be all this, he's not. That's what
Speaker 5: they were killing him. And Syrianni stood with the both coordinators.
Speaker 5: They made the playoffs spoty way, and then the next
Speaker 5: year we all know what they did. So when both
Speaker 5: coordinators left, and I talked about on this show, I
Speaker 5: thought they would not be the same as they were
Speaker 5: last year because of the coordinator change.
Speaker 3: For him to dump the guy with three games to go,
Speaker 3: it's the ultimate panic move. That's a panic move.
Speaker 5: And them to watch, and I took great joy and
Speaker 5: glee to watch Jackson Smith and Jigbo of rock Wall
Speaker 5: catch a touchdown pass in the end zone over Toasty
Speaker 5: Bradberry and just like this is this is the Matt
Speaker 5: Patricia I've grown to know and love giving it all
Speaker 5: up because it was just it was it was just
Speaker 5: Justice's wrong.
Speaker 3: And today I listened to w i P radio and.
Speaker 5: I've enjoyed myself all morning, all days, all afternoon, rang day.
Speaker 5: They said Hurts is regressed. They say he can't throw,
Speaker 5: they say he can't read defenses. They said the head coach,
Speaker 5: what does he doing. He's a walk around guy. He's
Speaker 5: not coaching anybody. They want the offensive coordinator gone. Now
Speaker 5: they're mad at Matt Patricia. He's no good. They said
Speaker 5: the Georgia guys that Howie Roseman drafted and they're not
Speaker 5: doing anything.
Speaker 3: So they say they they're overrated. They're overrated.
Speaker 5: So they said they're overrated. How he's overrated. I mean,
Speaker 5: they want to detonate the team. They're mad. They said
Speaker 5: they've been fraudulent all year long, and now we're just
Speaker 5: realizing my group, I mean, this thing is, this thing
Speaker 5: is fantastic to listen to.
Speaker 3: Nobody is sacred. They're blowing up the whole team.
Speaker 5: And now they say Tommy Cutler's and the Giants gonna
Speaker 5: beat them, and they got no faith.
Speaker 6: We hope, we hope that Tommy and uh In Sa
Speaker 6: Kwan can pull it off right, because that will help
Speaker 6: us out as long as we handle our business. But
Speaker 6: you know, I think it's and that's the league and
Speaker 6: then that's fans, and that's and that's just how it
Speaker 6: goes of. Like not not too many years ago, the
Speaker 6: Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl. Okay, last year they
Speaker 6: were in the Super Bowl a few plays away from
Speaker 6: from winning that game as well. And then usually when
Speaker 6: you see a team that go to the Super Bowl
Speaker 6: lose that and lose that way, they the next season they.
Speaker 4: Don't play very well to hangover, they don't play very well.
Speaker 6: This team has been number one since the season started
Speaker 6: after coming off of that. And then your fan base
Speaker 6: is that, like that's what you turn into.
Speaker 4: That's who they are, though, bro, Which is which is
Speaker 4: which is crazy.
Speaker 2: I love crazy.
Speaker 6: I love it. Detonate immediately. It's what I'm saying. Get
Speaker 6: rid of them, all right, get rid of him. I'm Sirianni.
Speaker 2: I can't. I love it.
Speaker 6: Show me another picture of Sirianni bobbing his head up
Speaker 6: and down. I love it, okay, but I just it's
Speaker 6: one Like watching him last night, especially on offense, Jyl,
Speaker 6: It's gonna come out at the end of the season
Speaker 6: that Jalen hurts.
Speaker 2: It's hurt.
Speaker 6: It is he has to be, because I've seen last year.
Speaker 6: I watched this guy last year just escape the pocket,
Speaker 6: pick up the extra yards when the running game wasn't there.
Speaker 6: You knew you could put the ball in. Jalen hurts
Speaker 6: his hands. It's just not there anymore. Something has changed
Speaker 6: in his mind is not allowing him to do that.
Speaker 6: That those balls that he's putting out there's fifty to
Speaker 6: fifty every time, especially on those deep routes. He's just
Speaker 6: not able to complete it. And maybe that's because he
Speaker 6: can't push off his leg.
Speaker 2: He listen, he pulled one of those like why are
Speaker 2: you throwing it to that guy? D Why? Like why him?
Speaker 2: With the guys you have on.
Speaker 6: Your team when Aj Brown and Slim ree like why
Speaker 6: you throwing it to him as a fifty like him?
Speaker 2: And that's like that's the same song.
Speaker 6: Like I don't understand what understand when certain quarterbacks do
Speaker 6: stuff like that, right, Like you know who's on your
Speaker 6: roster and you know who you should be throwing the
Speaker 6: ball to, especially if this is a panic mover or
Speaker 6: like all of a sudden, your defensive coordinator is not called,
Speaker 6: then everybody should be in a panic, and you know
Speaker 6: who you should lean on in those moments. Aj Brown
Speaker 6: your guy, Like you got to lean on that guy
Speaker 6: and win or lose with that guy. Those are the
Speaker 6: things I never really understand when I see certain quarterbacks
Speaker 6: or teams go away from the person that they paying
Speaker 6: the most money to make the biggest plays in the game,
Speaker 6: and they can't figure out a way to get it done.
Speaker 6: So listen, it helps us out. It does the veto
Speaker 6: please go out there and do what you need to do.
Speaker 6: But the main thing is the main thing. We have
Speaker 6: to go out here and get these wins to finish
Speaker 6: out the season, no doubt.
Speaker 5: Got You've got another opportunity. So this is three straight
Speaker 5: losses by Philadelphia it's another opportunity for the Cowboys to
Speaker 5: go out and do their job. The road is tough
Speaker 5: because Miami in December, it is a hard place to win.
Speaker 5: As much as you talk about Buffalo and December being
Speaker 5: a hard place to win, Miami is the same type
Speaker 5: of a place to win. And this is a team
Speaker 5: who style does not match up favorably to what the Cowboys.
Speaker 5: You sound like Barry Church. He sound like Barry right now.
Speaker 5: Styles make fights. This is they're all wrong for us, baby,
Speaker 5: the wrong. They got two running backs you had James
Speaker 5: I mean no offensive James Cook. He's a nice running back,
Speaker 5: but most are in the chain they are. You're an
Speaker 5: upgrading Okay, you didn't upgraded, so so yeah, you went
Speaker 5: from what the Papa's barbecue the papa steakhouse this week.
Speaker 5: It's different cut of meat right here. And then these receivers,
Speaker 5: they've got no offense to step on. Diggs, you're a
Speaker 5: nice player, but you're not to cheatah, and you know
Speaker 5: you're not models. So it's it's it's it's different. And
Speaker 5: and you know this week's play college. You know, mister
Speaker 5: Brady nice, but coach Soul is good.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, man, go ahead.
Speaker 6: Listen, I do think I think this is a tougher
Speaker 6: matchup than the Buffalo Bills matchup, because this is like
Speaker 6: the Buffalo Bills turned into a running team. They came out,
Speaker 6: they saw they could have success over the last few weeks.
Speaker 6: But then they said, we're playing the Dallas Cowboys. We're
Speaker 6: pretty sure that we're gonna be able to have success
Speaker 6: based off what they put out there on tape this season,
Speaker 6: and they came out and they did it. Now, when
Speaker 6: you put that on tape again right against the Buffalo
Speaker 6: team and you go out the next week, that same team,
Speaker 6: the Miami Dolphins that you have to play, is watching
Speaker 6: the film from go all the way back to San Francisco,
Speaker 6: actually go all the way back to Denver, then go
Speaker 6: all the way back to San Francisco, all the way
Speaker 6: back to San Francisco again, and then now you watch
Speaker 6: the Buffalo Bills tape and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, all right, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6: They can't do this, this and that, and they have
Speaker 6: not shown that they have fixed these wards that they
Speaker 6: have on their defense. What are we going to do? Oh,
Speaker 6: that fits our system. We got two big time running backs,
Speaker 6: speed and good vision. And if they just so happened
Speaker 6: to figure that out. They still got to find out
Speaker 6: how to stop Tyree Hill and Waddle. It is going
Speaker 6: to be a tough defensive matchup for us, which is
Speaker 6: why I'm gonna be leaning on what our offense can
Speaker 6: do in order to get us through this game.
Speaker 2: I didn't I.
Speaker 6: Didn't like what you said yesterday, and I'm not liking
Speaker 6: what you're saying right now, Danny. It sounds too true.
Speaker 6: It is, no, it is, it is. I mean, and
Speaker 6: you mentioned it. You went all the way down to
Speaker 6: Detroit yesterday talking about Detroit, Montgomery and Gibbs and just
Speaker 6: saying how much of a challenge it's going to be,
Speaker 6: especially with this being the ice sore on our defense
Speaker 6: going into the latter part of the season. Look as
Speaker 6: you talk about a Change, as you talk about Mosher,
Speaker 6: the thing about them is that's two different types of
Speaker 6: runners with strengths strength on strength. I'm saying Most is
Speaker 6: a guy that obviously explosive, slippery guy.
Speaker 2: A change is just fast.
Speaker 6: A change for Most city Missouri City guy and texting
Speaker 6: them legend just a fast dude, and he is that
Speaker 6: the definition of thunder and Lightning as a running back group.
Speaker 6: But a Chang has been out for a few games
Speaker 6: in the season. Most just have to take over the
Speaker 6: brunt of those carriers. Done a good job. But I
Speaker 6: think the one thing, if I could just point to
Speaker 6: a weakness, he fumbles, he will he will give up
Speaker 6: the rock. And I think the Dallas Cowboys one of
Speaker 6: their strengths has been taking the ball away. You're gonna
Speaker 6: have to specialize in that this week versus Miami because
Speaker 6: you're gonna have to get some takeaways versus offense period.
Speaker 6: And I think you know what makes me mad about
Speaker 6: us defensively right now is that we can't play the
Speaker 6: brand of football that we need to play because certain
Speaker 6: things has just been legislated out of the league. You
Speaker 6: gotta it's you look at Buffalo's tape. They took it
Speaker 6: to us physically. They did some things that we couldn't
Speaker 6: return fire on. We couldn't stop them in that a
Speaker 6: gap as you were talking about yesterday. There was no
Speaker 6: one there physically that can meet that pulling guard or
Speaker 6: that tackle on and stop that. They're beating us out
Speaker 6: to the edges and they're just destroying our secondary, our
Speaker 6: secondary guys. And look, if we don't if we don't
Speaker 6: get this fixed. It's not just is gonna be a problem.
Speaker 6: It's gonna persist through the regular season. It's gonna be
Speaker 6: something definitely, definitely that we're gonna face in the postseason
Speaker 6: because we're gonna run into a run a.
Speaker 5: Team you go see the very next week, no doubt,
Speaker 5: no doubt. Detroit Lion is gonna come and do the
Speaker 5: same thing. And they've got a really good offensive line.
Speaker 5: Miami's got some offensive line issues and Vic Fangio is
Speaker 5: a really good defensive coordinator.
Speaker 4: So this is a challenge.
Speaker 5: So you've got a cowboy team that's got a point
Speaker 5: and a half. They're down under one point and a
Speaker 5: half in this one. And Miami has only lost one
Speaker 5: home playoff game all year. That was last week, uh
Speaker 5: to Tennessee, where they I thought they were winning this thing,
Speaker 5: and they were up deep in the fourth quarter double
Speaker 5: digit leads. So they've got something to play for playing
Speaker 5: for the division, being upset at home.
Speaker 3: So this is.
Speaker 5: This is to me seemingly like in terms of who
Speaker 5: comes into this game that fundamental football and doesn't shoot
Speaker 5: themselves in the foot. I mean, you have to be
Speaker 5: disciplined in this game here and be ready to go.
Speaker 4: You talk about penalties.
Speaker 3: Penalties, that's a part of it.
Speaker 5: Assignments, you know, you talk about the where do you
Speaker 5: need to be? Dan Quinn spoke yesterday about how guys
Speaker 5: you know, said the tackles were bad. Twelve missed tackles.
Speaker 5: So there's just there's no room for error this week
Speaker 5: for the Cowboys, and you cannot repeat that type of performance.
Speaker 5: I can't remember what it is the last time they
Speaker 5: lost back to back games. But this is a challenge
Speaker 5: because this team is good at home. They play well
Speaker 5: at home. That's one thing they do, man, that they
Speaker 5: play well at home. If you come in here half stepping,
Speaker 5: I'm not saying they're gonna get seventy thrown on them,
Speaker 5: but you can find yourself watching them roll up thirty
Speaker 5: to forty because we've seen them do it all year long.
Speaker 5: If you come half stepping.
Speaker 6: You can see a forty piece and there's a guy
Speaker 6: on the other side who's trying to get two thousand
Speaker 6: yards for the first time as an NFL receiver.
Speaker 2: He ain't playing the season, all right, he ain't playing.
Speaker 6: No, And I'm saying like he ain't playing at all. No, No,
Speaker 6: he ain't missing it. Around he getting ready. Oh yeah.
Speaker 6: When I saw him not play last week, I was like, well,
Speaker 6: I know what he is playing. But you're absolutely correct
Speaker 6: on the point that you're making about Miami at home.
Speaker 6: They are a kin to us and what they've done
Speaker 6: at home six and one and the one loss that
Speaker 6: they have, they sent them all the way out to
Speaker 6: Germany to get that one loss to Kansas City. NFL
Speaker 6: didn't do them week.
Speaker 3: It was the Tennessee game.
Speaker 6: Was it Tennessee? Okay, whichever one. Well, I could have
Speaker 6: swore that it was the Germany game that they put
Speaker 6: on their on their losses. But either way, I'm just saying, like,
Speaker 6: this is a team that can beat you, and and
Speaker 6: everybody know it's scummy Christmas time. Everybody's gonna be ready
Speaker 6: to shut it down. What mentality does this team come
Speaker 6: in with? And I think that's the one thing that
Speaker 6: you don't trust. You don't trust the mentality of this
Speaker 6: football team. And I heard Micah on his part podcast
Speaker 6: talk about that, the difference between how they play at
Speaker 6: home and the mentality about how they play away. And you,
Speaker 6: being a former player, I mean, what do you think
Speaker 6: about that? Just the doctor Jacko missed the hyde of
Speaker 6: both defenses, the one you take on the road versus
Speaker 6: the one you see at home. I'm be I'm gonna
Speaker 6: be honest with you. I think if you play that
Speaker 6: that that Buffalo game that we just played, if you
Speaker 6: play them at and T Stadium, I think you still
Speaker 6: lose that game. Just based off what you see on film,
Speaker 6: I don't. I'm not even because I'm not sure if
Speaker 6: it was an intensity thing or prepared to play thing.
Speaker 6: It's the same stuff that we've been seeing for the
Speaker 6: last couple of seasons when it comes to stopping the run.
Speaker 6: Like it's not it's not like, yeah, we had the
Speaker 6: boom box and we was ready to go, or they
Speaker 6: was hyping the same. It's not that it is an
Speaker 6: assignment and being in the right place doing your job problem,
Speaker 6: not a intensity, ready to pray play problem. Because if
Speaker 6: you go watch the film, I'm sure that they've still
Speaker 6: made some of these same problems. I mean, had some
Speaker 6: of these same problems in the wins. It's just you're
Speaker 6: your head and now these teams have to come out
Speaker 6: and pass the ball, so you don't get a chance
Speaker 6: to see if they fix those issues. But then now
Speaker 6: when it rears ugly head again against the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 6: And you know, we're already talking about the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 6: and I'm trying not to look forward, but I'm looking
Speaker 6: at the Detroit team and I'm saying, you have three
Speaker 6: straight weeks of having an opportunity to fix what you
Speaker 6: need to fix to get into the playoffs and be successful,
Speaker 6: which is probably the only good part about like what's
Speaker 6: going on right now. You got three games to see
Speaker 6: as many different type of run concepts as you possibly
Speaker 6: have and work on being ready to face those when
Speaker 6: you get into the playoffs, because I can guarantee you,
Speaker 6: no matter who you play, they're going to try to
Speaker 6: implement some type of resemblance of what you've been struggling
Speaker 6: with over the last couple of years. You're gonna see
Speaker 6: it to you gonna see it. You're going to see it.
Speaker 6: And you're right about Tennessee.
Speaker 2: That was that.
Speaker 4: That was a game they lost. That's six and one
Speaker 4: at the crib.
Speaker 5: Let's take a break when we come back, Let's dive
Speaker 5: into the last three for the Cowboys in the last

Speaker 3: down out to Orlando.
Speaker 2: I know I've been. I went to Orlando for a
Speaker 2: Bowl game and that's the only time I went.
Speaker 3: So adult. Danny has not rolled.
Speaker 6: I have not, and because I have a kid is
Speaker 6: probably the only reason I'll be going back to Orlando.
Speaker 6: What's the last time you rolled through with kids down?
Speaker 6: Not just because like, yeah, where you want to go Orlando?
Speaker 2: To the time ship in Orlando.
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm just telling you, man, you yeah, yeah, Man,
Speaker 5: I mean, okay, Walt Disney World Universe.
Speaker 2: Traffic for nothing. They got traffick out there.
Speaker 4: Do they have traffic at the trapping I'm just talking.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Having been been to.
Speaker 5: Been to the Hawaii spot and and where the j
Speaker 5: W was and where they had it and where.
Speaker 3: They did things. Man, and then seeing Orlando, I'm.
Speaker 6: Like, well, some of some of these dudes don't need
Speaker 6: They're not missing nothing.
Speaker 2: They missed what you don't have, they don't get.
Speaker 6: They only have to listen to the old the older
Speaker 6: guys be like, man, I show I'm telling you about
Speaker 6: them with them Hawaii days.
Speaker 2: But they don't know something.
Speaker 5: Obviously, Vegas is you know, Vegas is taken away, but
Speaker 5: you know put it in bake. I mean if I'm
Speaker 5: on if I'm if I'm one of the the NFL
Speaker 5: PAN guys, we gotta talk to them. We gotta at
Speaker 5: least get to sing in Vegas. Please, at least get
Speaker 5: into Vegas.
Speaker 3: Orlando.
Speaker 2: Dudes out there getting in trouble with Vegas. Man, then
Speaker 2: get in trouble.
Speaker 6: Get you know, I've seen them dudes get into trouble
Speaker 6: in Las Vegas all right, out there fighting and doing
Speaker 6: all types of stuff. But nothing but suspenses coming out
Speaker 6: the next season.
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
Speaker 6: They smart, they know they're not taking them out there.
Speaker 6: You want some real trouble. Have all your Pro Bowl
Speaker 6: guys be be at risk and getting into some trouble.
Speaker 3: The Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: You know that's not the same.
Speaker 6: Okay, they're gonna be focusing really practicing play flag football.
Speaker 3: Like that time they had the NBA All Star Game
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4: Boy, yeah, oh man, man, stories untold.
Speaker 3: League was like, people was like telling, don't don't bring
Speaker 3: it back.
Speaker 2: The locals foolish, thank you.
Speaker 4: The locals are like, don't come back.
Speaker 3: We don't, we don't.
Speaker 4: It's all wrong for us, baby, it's all wrong for us.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 5: So the Cowboys have three games up at Miami this
Speaker 5: week home against the Detroit Lines.
Speaker 3: That's the Jimmy Ring of Bonner game. I can't lose
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 5: And then it's on the road against the Washington Commanders
Speaker 5: and the final ride for Ron rivera goodbye Ron, thank you,
Speaker 5: thank you for your service run. Meanwhile, Philadelphia has a
Speaker 5: home game against the New York Giants, then in week
Speaker 5: seventeen to home game against Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 5: and then they end the season by going to MetLife
Speaker 5: Stadium to face the Giant Aget.
Speaker 3: So obviously.
Speaker 2: That column.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, no, no, no, no, you know how I
Speaker 6: feel about the Arizona Cardinals. And I was watching the
Speaker 6: game against the well not I watched. I was keeping
Speaker 6: up with the score when they played San Frand this week,
Speaker 6: and at the beginning I had to I was about
Speaker 6: to text you, hey, I'm telling you see what I'm
Speaker 6: telling to be careful, and they found a way to
Speaker 6: run off with it. But the Arizona Cardinals team, to me,
Speaker 6: I don't care. It's scary for anybody that goes to
Speaker 6: play them or has to play them because of the
Speaker 6: weapon that they have a quarterback and some type of
Speaker 6: resilience that they have to no matter what their record is.
Speaker 6: Them dudes go out there and they play hard. So
Speaker 6: that is one to where we slipped up against Arizona,
Speaker 6: and we've been I've been like, man, that's the one
Speaker 6: that's gonna cost us. I think Philly could slip up
Speaker 6: the air Zona as well.
Speaker 5: Philadelphia as a head coach with institutional knowledge of what
Speaker 5: they want to do Arizona, yes, she said, Arizona, but
Speaker 5: what Philing wants to do because he was there last year.
Speaker 5: I do think that was also a help for them
Speaker 5: when they played the Cowboys. Okay, hey, look but we
Speaker 5: know what they want to do.
Speaker 3: You've got some institutional knowledge.
Speaker 5: I just I'm with you, and my god, sh if
Speaker 5: you listen to Philadelphia radio, they they think they're gonna
Speaker 5: lose the division.
Speaker 3: They the division's gone. I don't know how we're gonna win,
Speaker 3: how we're gonna win.
Speaker 4: We can't.
Speaker 5: We can't win anymore. I mean they they literally think
Speaker 5: they've lost their mojos.
Speaker 2: They've seen our schedules, they have they like they watched
Speaker 2: our game.
Speaker 6: They watched our game against the Buffalo Bills and then
Speaker 6: watch how they lost last night and figured that they
Speaker 6: was gonna lose the division. If anybody should be feeling
Speaker 6: that it should be, it should be us based off
Speaker 6: you know how that game went.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Philadelphia media tell you like.
Speaker 5: Philadelphia folks man, and they have given up the ship. Okay,
Speaker 5: they've given up the ship. They had said. They call
Speaker 5: them Tommy Cutlers. They out there praising Tommy DeVito up
Speaker 5: there with the Giants. They don't know how it's going
Speaker 5: to happen, so they and look why bull driving New
Speaker 5: York has fought with the old Tommy DeVito And you
Speaker 5: got two cracks. You got nothing to play for other
Speaker 5: than hey man, let's just ruin this thing for them.
Speaker 6: No, it's gonna it's gonna get interesting. And if you
Speaker 6: follow Nick Harris, he kind of outlines how this whole
Speaker 6: thing cracks out for the Dallas Cowboys if they win,
Speaker 6: if they lose, or how yesterday's loss to Seattle kind
Speaker 6: of made the Bills lost kind of nullified that whole thing.
Speaker 6: But I'm with you when it comes to Arizona. We
Speaker 6: saw what they had and do the same thing you did.
Speaker 5: Hey, So how about this all right? The Giants have
Speaker 5: won three of their last four games, Okay, since they
Speaker 5: got beat by the Cowboys they wanted while Washington they
Speaker 5: won against New England they had to buy. Then they
Speaker 5: won against the Packers, and then they lost at New Orleans.
Speaker 5: By the way, New Orleans is a tough place to play.
Speaker 2: Absolutely it is.
Speaker 3: So you know this, it's not crazy.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's my thing, just looking at here with the Giants,
Speaker 5: it's not crazy to think they could win a game
Speaker 5: one of two that they've got to go play against Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: And well, we've seen how bad that they are.
Speaker 6: And I think that's why it's kind of hard for
Speaker 6: you to get behind New York and say, Okay, they
Speaker 6: can pull out these two games in three weeks to Philadelphia.
Speaker 6: And I'm sure Philadelphia is hoping that that last game
Speaker 6: of the season has no meaning because the Cowboys have
Speaker 6: lost two in a row.
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 6: And so really the Cowboys have their destination, have their
Speaker 6: destiny in their hands if they are going to win
Speaker 6: this top seed, the number one seed or number two seed,
Speaker 6: which however it ships out, because hey, San Francisco still
Speaker 6: has a few tough games on that schedule as well.
Speaker 6: So let's not let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.
Speaker 6: But I believe that the cow Boys need a home game.
Speaker 6: Let's just let's just say say it like it is.
Speaker 6: The Cowboys need a home game. And by winning your division,
Speaker 6: you are sharing yourself that you get that home game.
Speaker 5: It's all open, which and I know I said it
Speaker 5: after after week five and I got laughed at. But
Speaker 5: when I said, let it play out, we have to
Speaker 5: let it all play out, because what we think we know,
Speaker 5: we truly don't always know. And when you talk about
Speaker 5: San Francisco, they have Baltimore this week, then they're at
Speaker 5: Washington and then they're at home against against the Rams.
Speaker 6: Let's be playing for the playoffs spot. We're trying, we're
Speaker 6: trying to find a way to get into the playoffs.
Speaker 5: So so let's see how this thing plays out, because
Speaker 5: there are things to play for.
Speaker 3: And I don't know.
Speaker 5: What incentives guys have in contracts, but we know as
Speaker 5: you get towards the end here some guys, hey, why
Speaker 5: am I here?
Speaker 4: They got, they got, they got, they got a reason for.
Speaker 5: The season, and and you start thinking about these things
Speaker 5: here it's human nature.
Speaker 6: Human nature still and that's the thing that you talk
Speaker 6: about with New York. I mean, guys, at the end
Speaker 6: of the season, is that still going to be willing
Speaker 6: to say, all right, we're gonna put it on the
Speaker 6: line even in Week eighteen. So the season is definitely
Speaker 6: over for them. They're not going to playoffs, not going anywhere,
Speaker 6: So what incentive do they have. The only hope that
Speaker 6: I have of them catching another l is Arizona. I'm
Speaker 6: putting everything on Arizona. Are they are they officially eliminated
Speaker 6: from playoffs?
Speaker 2: The Giants? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6: Think I see that come across it. That's that's better
Speaker 6: for us They're not. Yeah, yeah, that's better for us.
Speaker 6: As long as they believe they fighting for something. Okay,
Speaker 6: that's better than that next week fight. I think I
Speaker 6: saw something that said they are they are still in
Speaker 6: contention for the number two pick in the draft and
Speaker 6: also the playoffs. Everything that they have as far as
Speaker 6: a scenario of them making the playoffs ends and the
Speaker 6: cow jumps over the movie.
Speaker 2: This is a lot has to happen.
Speaker 5: A quarterback here in Tommy DeVito, who, for whatever reason,
Speaker 5: these people have attached themselves too.
Speaker 3: They are into this guy.
Speaker 4: What happened to Danny Dives? We're gonna switch Danny because.
Speaker 2: Happened.
Speaker 3: They trying to hold onto something.
Speaker 5: So if this guy is rolling people and he and
Speaker 5: fine this so they want to if they want to
Speaker 5: latch onto this, let him latch onto it. But if
Speaker 5: you're Tommy DeVito, you were playing because you want to
Speaker 5: have a role on this anybody else who's on this football.
Speaker 5: The Giants are gonna make some changes. Okay, this is
Speaker 5: a team. They've got to make some changes here. So
Speaker 5: and Danny, you've been on teams where hey, what am
Speaker 5: I playing for? I'm playing for I need I need
Speaker 5: some looks. I gotta get some tape out of it.
Speaker 5: And the last thing people you want people, last thing
Speaker 5: you are laying down looking like them, them stealer receivers
Speaker 5: is watching.
Speaker 2: For goun O.
Speaker 6: Man, it's some bad ball going around. It's just some bad,
Speaker 6: bad coaching.
Speaker 2: It's a lot. It's a lot of that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, get you have your just give your agent something
Speaker 5: to sell, not you laying down. So I look at
Speaker 5: these games and just say, hey, look, guys are guys
Speaker 5: are gonna have to go out here and earn some
Speaker 5: checks and start to look toward next year.
Speaker 4: So I just I just won't blow it off.
Speaker 5: As you know, they're gonna lay down and not care
Speaker 5: because we've seen it in their games.
Speaker 3: They've won three or four and sod.
Speaker 5: To me, what happened in New Orleans was not a
Speaker 5: shock to the Giants because the Saints have played well
Speaker 5: at home and they got a good defense.
Speaker 6: Their defenses it's good and Alvin Kamara is Alvin Kamara still, but.
Speaker 3: Car didn't throw them out the game, which is the.
Speaker 6: Shout out to Jimmy Graham too, because two tondowns on
Speaker 6: the last couple of weeks and that's.
Speaker 4: He on your fantasy No, I I'm just seeing.
Speaker 6: I'm just seeing the older guy go out and make
Speaker 6: big time plays in the rison. I'm like, okay, because
Speaker 6: we were talking about the possibility to have to play
Speaker 6: the NFC so right and having to travel to New
Speaker 6: Orleans bo to mention Tampa's right, so you look so
Speaker 6: to me, it's like I got to watch the NFC
Speaker 6: South play now and see like what they really have
Speaker 6: and yeah, the New.
Speaker 2: Orleans Saints, I do have their defense on my fantasy team.
Speaker 6: But the offense not good, the office is not good,
Speaker 6: but Kamara has been good.
Speaker 5: Right now, Tampa is in first place, holding the tiebreaker
Speaker 5: seven and seven or three and won the Division. New
Speaker 5: Orleans is in second. They're seven and seven, two and
Speaker 5: two in the division. So Tampa ends, They've got Jacksonville
Speaker 5: at home, They've got New Orleans at home, then they
Speaker 5: end at Carolina. Meanwhile, New Orleans has to go to
Speaker 5: the Rams this week, then they're at Tampa Bay and
Speaker 5: then they host Atlanta ended.
Speaker 2: So I gotta fight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, there, there's there, there's that that that game
Speaker 5: this week, you talk about the Rams and the Saints.
Speaker 3: That's a game to watch.
Speaker 6: It is, it's it's it's getting tough for at the
Speaker 6: end of the season for a lot of teams not
Speaker 6: named Philly. So I'm I'm just looking at our schedule
Speaker 6: what we have right now. I mean, even this Miami
Speaker 6: game is you guys who've been talking about the running
Speaker 6: game and just how do you stop all of it.
Speaker 6: We hadn't even got over to the other side on
Speaker 6: the defense to talk about guys like Christian Wilkes in
Speaker 6: their cornerback.
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 5: Let's do that next. Okay that next, We'll do that

Speaker 4: Come a little bit, but we're gonna make it.
Speaker 6: The heck and Newie show what y'all want to doooo schools. Hey, man,
Speaker 6: I'm heckma. By the way, that's new it tigre something.
Speaker 6: Don't want the same thing, don't want the same thing Friday.
Speaker 5: Big dog Derek Derekleton, he's working on all right, on
Speaker 5: what we will do Friday here.
Speaker 3: So heck, you were making a point before.
Speaker 6: Breaking Now it's just basically saying, man, this is a
Speaker 6: tough matchup. This is a tough match off all around.
Speaker 6: As far as on the defensive side, there's two guys
Speaker 6: that they have over there and Xavier and Howard fifth
Speaker 6: Wards a U as they call him. He's a tough
Speaker 6: cornerback man, always have been. Jayalen Ramsey also very tough.
Speaker 6: We're familiar with him by playing playing the Rams. I'm
Speaker 6: interested offensively coming into a game, but we want to
Speaker 6: see our offense get restarted. I think they took a
Speaker 6: step back last week as far as Mike McCarthy being
Speaker 6: in his bag, and this is a week where you
Speaker 6: come up against the Miami defense.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 6: Vic Vangiols like every other defensive coordinator, a little arrogant,
Speaker 6: little egotistical and his coverages.
Speaker 4: So let's see how he tries to play our Cede Lamb.
Speaker 6: If he leaves guys like Xavin Howard and Ramsey on
Speaker 6: an island with him, I think that matchup botes well
Speaker 6: for us. But we have got to as much as
Speaker 6: we're talking about everybody else's running game, we've got to
Speaker 6: figure out a way to jump start our running game,
Speaker 6: especially going into the playoffs. Yeah, this has me nervous
Speaker 6: because I saw what Buffalo was able to do to
Speaker 6: us as far as kind of picking up on some
Speaker 6: of the route concepts, the things that we do more
Speaker 6: often than not, and being able to customize their zone
Speaker 6: coverage to take away some of the stuff that Dak
Speaker 6: really really likes to do. And it's the NFL, and
Speaker 6: once you put it on tape, once somebody puts the
Speaker 6: blueprint out there, you have to find a way to
Speaker 6: then adjust to make sure.
Speaker 2: That they can't do that to you the entire game.
Speaker 6: And I'm telling I guarantee, you're gonna see the same
Speaker 6: some of the same stuff that you saw against Buffalo
Speaker 6: come in to play against Miami. Now, the cornerbacks that
Speaker 6: they have for Miami to me a lot better than
Speaker 6: the cornerbacks that they rolled out there for Buffalo. So
Speaker 6: you're gonna see some more man to man trying to
Speaker 6: stop the run to make sure that they put it
Speaker 6: all in Dak's hands. And I think that's when you'll
Speaker 6: see some of that zone covers. But we do have
Speaker 6: to find a way to run the football, like you
Speaker 6: have to, because we saw what happens when you can't,
Speaker 6: or when when it's not a possible you don't feel
Speaker 6: like that's a way to get you back into the game.
Speaker 6: Then all of a sudden you got three and out
Speaker 6: at the three and out, their drives are stopping, and
Speaker 6: then the defense can't stop anybody, and for you know what,
Speaker 6: the game's out of hand. Playoff football is gonna make
Speaker 6: sure that you have the ability to run the football
Speaker 6: because if you don't, probably gonna be out of there
Speaker 6: pretty quick. We've seen it, you know, over and over again.
Speaker 5: Point and a half underdog in this one. This is
Speaker 5: this is the respond game. You know, they've been good
Speaker 5: at bouncing back after losses. This is a very tough
Speaker 5: place to play and this is a challenging matchup. So
Speaker 5: I just wonder how much is this a pride game
Speaker 5: for guys?
Speaker 6: God, it has to be, especially when you put We
Speaker 6: talked about the tape yesterday and I said, hey, I
Speaker 6: don't want to go in that film room watch that tape.
Speaker 6: If I'm one of those guys, go get the red
Speaker 6: dot put on me and say that's you.
Speaker 2: That's you.
Speaker 6: Whiffing right there, that's you, and it's gonna be even tough.
Speaker 6: I think there's been this narrative that's starting to be
Speaker 6: written on dan Quinn's defense that they can't deal with motion.
Speaker 2: Something about motion.
Speaker 6: Anytime there's motion, dan Quinn's defense is giving up the
Speaker 6: most yards anytime a team incorporate motions.
Speaker 4: Well, co Sol Ruther, he come.
Speaker 2: With the motion.
Speaker 6: You know exactly what he's gonna do. They try and
Speaker 6: kick out blocks with tight ends tackles. But their offensive
Speaker 6: line hadn't been healthy as as you talked about earlier.
Speaker 6: And I think that's the one thing that I feel like, Hey,
Speaker 6: if we can shut that part of their offense down,
Speaker 6: then we still have a serious undertaking that I think
Speaker 6: I trust with my man Gilly and Deron Bland. But
Speaker 6: on the other side, it has been our offense that
Speaker 6: as of late, those forty points at home, then it's
Speaker 6: made so many things easier for our defense. But when
Speaker 6: we see our defense having to pack in get stops. Lately,
Speaker 6: my only thing that's been worrisome is the fact that
Speaker 6: they haven't been able to do it.
Speaker 5: Thirty points last week for the offense and zero points allowed.
Speaker 5: So man, it's just the beauty of the National Football
Speaker 5: League is just a great soap opera every week. We
Speaker 5: don't know, Oh it's so good. But I'll tell you
Speaker 5: right now, I don't feel good about this one. Don't
Speaker 5: not at all about this one.
Speaker 6: I don't like there's no path to success for y'all
Speaker 6: in this Miami game. Do you not see our offense
Speaker 6: having If CD explodes a bill fifty two tuddies, nothing
Speaker 6: about that says victory for you. I think we're going
Speaker 6: to have a better off offensive outing than we had
Speaker 6: against Buffalo, That's all I can say.
Speaker 2: I think it'd be better than that right now. I
Speaker 2: just I'm not sure.
Speaker 6: I have to see us be able to rebound from
Speaker 6: getting shut down on offense like this, because ever since
Speaker 6: the Boy week, we haven't seen like, we haven't seen that.
Speaker 6: We've seen us be able to roll, we've seen us
Speaker 6: be able to get CD involved, we've seen us be
Speaker 6: able to get Brandon Cooks involved Tony Pollard with the
Speaker 6: monster runs and making sure that they were statement runs.
Speaker 6: We've seen that, and then this game we didn't see
Speaker 6: it to where we were able to get out of
Speaker 6: that rut.
Speaker 2: And then start rolling again.
Speaker 6: So I need to see how we respond offensively more
Speaker 6: than defensively to me, to see, hey man, all right,
Speaker 6: they seen it, they know how to stop it.
Speaker 2: Are we able to adjust and then get this thing
Speaker 2: rolling again?
Speaker 5: But if you respond and you're able to score twenty
Speaker 5: one and twenty eight points and they go out and
Speaker 5: they get thirty one to thirty five, that can happen too.
Speaker 6: That's right. But listen, that's still better than Buffalo. The
Speaker 6: offensive performance that we put out there against Buffalo when
Speaker 6: the game really mattered was it.
Speaker 2: Was non existent everything.
Speaker 6: It was none for the players that you have on
Speaker 6: offense for the year that Cede Lamb has been having.
Speaker 6: For us to go out there and not really be
Speaker 6: able to get anything when when it was meaningful, is
Speaker 6: that it's alarming to me. So I need to see
Speaker 6: us be able to Now it's on tape. Okay, now,
Speaker 6: other defensive coordinators know what you need to do. Is
Speaker 6: this a pattern now or was that just a bad
Speaker 6: game because we hadn't seen it since you came out
Speaker 6: of the baw week.
Speaker 2: We've been rolling ever since.
Speaker 6: I want to call it a just bad game, so
Speaker 6: bad because of what you did last week versus versus Philly.
Speaker 6: But that Bill's tape, man burn it, throw away, please
Speaker 6: get rid of it, and hoping nobody else saw it.
Speaker 2: My question to you guys was about Tua.
Speaker 6: How do you I mean, as far as the elite
Speaker 6: so middle of the pack quarterbacks, what's your feeling on Tuur?
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not really that concerned about Tua because
Speaker 5: it's all about the running game.
Speaker 4: This is it.
Speaker 5: They're going to go after the Cowboys and run the
Speaker 5: ball and obviously the play action passing will work based
Speaker 5: off what they're able to do there. But we know
Speaker 5: that Tua is gonna be able to hit guys. I
Speaker 5: means just like last week coming off the back, he
Speaker 5: didn't have a great game against Tennessee guys, still able
Speaker 5: to get down only one touchdown pass. They play defense
Speaker 5: like they've been playing. They run the football. I don't
Speaker 5: think it matters that too. It doesn't have to be great.
Speaker 5: How about that two would throw you the ball?
Speaker 6: I think you have to get yourself in a position
Speaker 6: to try to get some pressure on them, which is
Speaker 6: stopping the run. So I think it all kind of
Speaker 6: goes together like you got to be able to try
Speaker 6: to put it into it. As bad as it sounds
Speaker 6: with Tyree, I'm still the the mindset of you cannot
Speaker 6: let a team come here and run up and down
Speaker 6: the field on you. You have to make the quarterback
Speaker 6: beat you. And I think Tua is a quarterback who
Speaker 6: I think we can get the best of if we
Speaker 6: force it.
Speaker 2: To be in his hands.
Speaker 6: If not, and he has an option to do either one,
Speaker 6: you know, kill kill, kill, the check for eight yards,
Speaker 6: then you have a hard time.
Speaker 3: Chris beaming and we're up against the time.
Speaker 5: But something I gotta dive into and try and figure out,
Speaker 5: what is the Cowboys record in December down there South Florida.
Speaker 5: Because I had a conversation with Dennis Thurman yesterday and
Speaker 5: and Dt told me said, oh yeah, going back to
Speaker 5: when I play.
Speaker 3: Said we don't play well in Miami.
Speaker 5: We never played. We never played well there. And then
Speaker 5: when he was a defensive coordinator in Buffalo, that was
Speaker 5: the year Kellen Moore played. And he's like, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: Cowboys came up there and got dusted up too. He's like,
Speaker 5: it's never been Western New York in December has never
Speaker 5: been good for the Cowboys. And I wonder what is
Speaker 5: what is it for Miami for the Cowboys as well,
Speaker 5: because just throughout the league it is just no Florida,
Speaker 5: South Florida December hard, Western New York in December hard.
Speaker 5: And here the Cowboys going, you know, in the back
Speaker 5: to back places where they're going to be underdogs for
Speaker 5: the second straight week in tough places.
Speaker 3: Place. I wonder what the record is.
Speaker 2: Don't leave the hotel, guys.
Speaker 12: It's Christmas Eve, yes, don't come on, man, don't go
Speaker 12: shopping to South Florida, West Palm Pass, don't stay in
Speaker 12: Southeast pay all the ubers not to come over to
Speaker 12: you know, do all that stuff.
Speaker 2: Man, go get sleep.
Speaker 13: We've only played once in December in Miami, and that
Speaker 13: was in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 3: Eighty four, eighty four, Dann Marino.
Speaker 13: Miami one, twenty eight, twenty one. That's the only time
Speaker 13: we've played in December in Miami.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, Olper does he have this in his
Speaker 5: he That's why I asked the man's a genius. The
Speaker 5: man is the jewisns jeans all right. Danny mccraig, good stuff,
