Speaker 3: us everybody remember day number one. Always get to see
Speaker 3: the table at college football playoff gradually.
Speaker 4: Oh no, listen, I don't care my school LA. I'm
Speaker 4: watching for entertainment. I don't care who's in it. LSU
Speaker 4: ain't in it.
Speaker 3: Actually, LSU was a part of the argument which was
Speaker 3: saw whether that was a Florida state for like, hey
Speaker 3: we beat LSU and they're like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: So that's your turn.
Speaker 4: That's saying, listen, hey, when you went to NATI, you
Speaker 4: got five years at least, okay, you got five years
Speaker 4: in leave. We won the twenty nineteen we got fire.
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear nothing about it, man, I
Speaker 4: don't have today. Man, you no no ocean run wild.
Speaker 4: It wasn't became, wasn't because of football. So dude, I
Speaker 4: got nothing for you today.
Speaker 2: Danny. I know you came in already. You're ready to
Speaker 2: go to war already.
Speaker 4: I'm okay. I don't get you know, stick put the
Speaker 4: LSU stuff in then and all this. What was your
Speaker 4: thoughts man on the on the college football man when
Speaker 4: they made the picks? Did you feel bad for Florida State?
Speaker 4: I feel bad for the players of Florida State. But
Speaker 4: I understand, you understand. I understand because you know, I
Speaker 4: came up in a time when when Notre Dame was
Speaker 4: going to the national champ should be getting the brakes
Speaker 4: blue off of them every season. And then also we
Speaker 4: saw TCU go there last year and everybody, you know,
Speaker 4: this great story and all that stuff, and they got
Speaker 4: ran up out the building.
Speaker 2: They're trying to avoid. I understand that part of it.
Speaker 3: So I mean they beat They went out there and
Speaker 3: beat the Michigan team that was out there.
Speaker 5: Cheating to tc beat them.
Speaker 2: They lost, and then with.
Speaker 5: The championship game, Yes, they got That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: They got destroyed. I don't think it's about.
Speaker 3: The first nobody thought they should have been in, and
Speaker 3: then they went out there and they.
Speaker 2: Beat Michigan and you know what, you know what happened.
Speaker 4: They lost, and then they Florida State should call them
Speaker 4: and tell them thank you for what's happening to them
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 2: They don't want to see that. I'm not on the committee.
Speaker 5: I don't even and it's just me. I don't think
Speaker 5: that was the case.
Speaker 3: I think at the end of the day, the SEC
Speaker 3: champion was not gonna get left out.
Speaker 2: We refer to you on the national championship.
Speaker 4: So you believe in Florida State's quarterback was one hundred
Speaker 4: percent healthy, they would have got left out because I
Speaker 4: don't believe that.
Speaker 3: I once told Bill Hancock, who's retiring executive director of
Speaker 3: the CFPS, like it's only three spots available, the SEC
Speaker 3: champions getting in every year, and it's always happened. And
Speaker 3: last year when Salmon got left out, boy he was
Speaker 3: boo hoo, and who they.
Speaker 5: We're gonna do it again.
Speaker 4: So so so, if Florida State's quarterback is healthy and
Speaker 4: they everybody's healthy, they are undefeated. The ACC champions. Who
Speaker 4: gets left out Texas. I'm just saying Florida right now.
Speaker 2: Okay, you know what I think you just hit up.
Speaker 3: It's probably Texas, but they were not leaving out the
Speaker 3: SEC chair.
Speaker 5: Texas probably got left out.
Speaker 4: That would have been there would have been nowhere in
Speaker 4: hell that they could have could have left Texas out
Speaker 4: of the city, No way.
Speaker 2: I believe that a lot of wouldn't have got in.
Speaker 4: I believe they wouldn't not after that's just not after,
Speaker 4: not after beating Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 3: I hear you, man, but this committee has shown you man,
Speaker 3: logic does not matter.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, look my whole thing about it.
Speaker 4: If if I'm Florida say I'm ticked off, I mean
Speaker 4: when you guys, when y'all were undefeated, correct, No, y'all,
Speaker 4: I lost two.
Speaker 2: We lost two.
Speaker 4: We lost two, and everybody the three teams that y'all
Speaker 4: get y'all, three teams ahead of us, lost on in
Speaker 4: their championship games after we won the SEC championship, So
Speaker 4: we needed West Virginia lose somebody, like a couple of
Speaker 4: other teams. They all lost and that bumped us up.
Speaker 4: So it wasn't we didn't get picked over somebody else.
Speaker 4: Everything happened how we needed it, that happened for us
Speaker 4: to get.
Speaker 5: In, and you were the SEC champion.
Speaker 2: That's right, and that's your point. Yeah, well it was BCS.
Speaker 5: BCS.
Speaker 3: The the SEC carries weight except for the one time
Speaker 3: when Tommy Tuberville was coaching Auburn and decided to have
Speaker 3: acack schedule and they said we're gonna take Oklahoma and USC.
Speaker 3: But since then, and by the way, didn't mind that
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 5: They weren't the better team the two exactly.
Speaker 3: They weren't the better team of the between USC and
Speaker 3: and Oklahoma. But the SEC champion, they just it's different. Uh,
Speaker 3: they the committee views it differently, and it's there.
Speaker 4: So we'll agree to disagree because I said, I believe
Speaker 4: in Florida State's quarterback is there. I believe, I believe
Speaker 4: and this is just me that Alabama is going to
Speaker 4: get left out of there. And you got Texas, you
Speaker 4: got Texas, Florida State, Washington and Michigan and there. The
Speaker 4: problem I have with it is, how do you put
Speaker 4: this Power five thing together and then you say that
Speaker 4: Florida State goes undefeated and they don't make it.
Speaker 2: That's what you put this together.
Speaker 4: It's almost like full proof system that you put together
Speaker 4: that you wouldn't have to encourage something like this, and
Speaker 4: it happens and you leave Florida State out. Now I
Speaker 4: can see versus the eyeball test, why you would leave
Speaker 4: Florida State out of it.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 4: I understand it, and I understand how the SEC gets
Speaker 4: the natural bid selection with Alabama. It could have been
Speaker 4: Alabama or Georgia. For me, I wouldn't have had an
Speaker 4: argument with it either way, but Florida State should be
Speaker 4: ticked off. You're not gonna leave Texas out of it
Speaker 4: for sure. And man, the Texas Washington matchup, you're talking
Speaker 4: about what I can't wait fun So, but there's a
Speaker 4: scenario where there could have been five undefeated. There's a
Speaker 4: scenario where they could have been a Washington undefeated, a
Speaker 4: Georgia undefeated, a Texas undefeated, and the Florida State undefeated
Speaker 4: and then who else Texas. What I'm saying that this
Speaker 4: scenario where that could have happened. You know, I'm saying,
Speaker 4: you try to avoid it, but there's a there's still
Speaker 4: opportunity for somebody to get left out, no matter what
Speaker 4: undefeated whatever, to get left out and still be upset. So,
Speaker 4: you know, Florida State, like they lost their quarterback and
Speaker 4: I feel bad for him if I'm a kid on
Speaker 4: that team, a coach or whatever.
Speaker 2: We did everything we were supposed to do right.
Speaker 4: But they ain't the first people to get left out.
Speaker 3: From the time the first ever college football playoffs started,
Speaker 3: they've been hosing.
Speaker 2: Yeah they're not they're not the first team and they
Speaker 2: had stopped.
Speaker 4: So they just they in that room now with the
Speaker 4: rest of them, like, come on in, come on in impetition,
Speaker 4: we know, we know how you feel. Now what happens
Speaker 4: is they go out there and they get you know,
Speaker 4: they get blew out by Georgia, which they probably will,
Speaker 4: I mean, but their heart is not going to be
Speaker 4: in that game.
Speaker 2: It better be.
Speaker 4: But if they if they if they beat Georgia, then
Speaker 4: that's when you know, were the martyrs and we you know,
Speaker 4: we should have been in. See I told you, see
Speaker 4: I told you.
Speaker 3: And you know if people won't care, people tc you
Speaker 3: got left out. We played the Peach Bowl, beat beat
Speaker 3: beat Old miss Hey. Thank you, enjoy your rents.
Speaker 4: If you end up with two, if you end up
Speaker 4: with three amazing games, nobody's gonna care.
Speaker 2: Nobody's will care. They gonna say this is great.
Speaker 3: And last year the final, the final four game, the
Speaker 3: two play the two semi final playoff games last year
Speaker 3: were great.
Speaker 5: You know, Ohio State had Georgia debt.
Speaker 3: Run, homeboy missed the field goal. That Michigan TCU game,
Speaker 3: back and forth game.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 3: Those two games were great, which you know, what was
Speaker 3: what everybody wanted in the last one came.
Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, your your alma mater.
Speaker 3: Hey baby, I went straight down to the halftime with raining.
Speaker 3: First all you know, I haven't lived in l a foreveryday.
Speaker 3: I've never seen rain like that, and so Sofi Stadium
Speaker 3: does not have it ain't got nothing on the size
Speaker 3: it saw sunshine. So it's raining sideways and they gave
Speaker 3: us blankets versus cold. LA's cold. It's raining sideways, papers
Speaker 3: all wet. Halftime by like midway through the first quarter, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: this ain't happened. So my man told me they got
Speaker 3: they got Brandy's donuts downstairs.
Speaker 4: I'm not.
Speaker 3: I packed everything up, went on downstairs. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna sit here in the nice warmth, and the boy
Speaker 3: watching on TV and I'll just ready to interviews.
Speaker 5: That thing was a wrap.
Speaker 4: I will say this, you know, because everybody, you know,
Speaker 4: if I'm looking at and I'm saying they wanted the
Speaker 4: best four teams in there, I think we can all
Speaker 4: agree to. Alabama now is a better team than what
Speaker 4: Florida State will be able to put on the field.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know, from an entertainment standpoint, they're definitely gonna
Speaker 3: these games should be entertained. I'm looking I'm very much
Speaker 3: looking forward to uh Texas Rude who Armentary Eagleton his
Speaker 3: long horns will be there.
Speaker 5: But it's a rematch between.
Speaker 3: Alimobile, which Washington beat them last year San Antonio twenty
Speaker 3: seven twenty and then it's it's Michigan Alabama. We saw
Speaker 3: when they announced that, the Michigan folks is like.
Speaker 2: Oh, we got this. We know, we don't want this smoke.
Speaker 2: What do we do to earn this smoke? Football man?
Speaker 4: Alabama has gotten a lot better, you know since the
Speaker 4: beginning of the season. The quarterback has gotten better, got bench,
Speaker 4: came back. He looks like a totally different player. I
Speaker 4: know what happened with Aubert. That is a that is
Speaker 4: a rivalry game. It is usually gonna be some weird
Speaker 4: type of stuff happened in that game. But they are
Speaker 4: a better team than what they were at the beginning
Speaker 4: of the season, So.
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to it. Looking forward to it all right.
Speaker 3: Players last watching by Tostito, shack Lenard has decided to
Speaker 3: sign with Philadelphia, and I kind of felt that was
Speaker 3: where it was going.
Speaker 2: Putting that picture that you said, well, yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: My man John Clark up there NBC Philadelphia, I was like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: that's where he'll probably end up going. I guess he
Speaker 3: was with the security guard he got kicked out the
Speaker 3: other night and picked him up from the airport.
Speaker 2: Dumb, dumb, my man, dum dumb. Okay, setting traps.
Speaker 3: He touched Michael Parsons, he might get he might get
Speaker 3: get the full hit on Sunday over at and T Stadium.
Speaker 5: So he signed one year deal with them.
Speaker 3: They need the linebackers, so okay, it is what it is,
Speaker 3: you know, being interested to see the Shaquille Leonards actually
Speaker 3: play this weekend against the Cowboys and how.
Speaker 5: What he does play. But he's gonna go to Philadelphia.
Speaker 5: I'm not shocked at all.
Speaker 3: The Cowboys obviously made the pitch Heck, they showed him
Speaker 3: how they could use him, but he decided to go there.
Speaker 4: Philip, I told y'all from the beginning, I didn't want
Speaker 4: him to use us as a bargainership. I meant it,
Speaker 4: don't let him out of the building. If he's serious
Speaker 4: about us. He knew where you wanted to go from
Speaker 4: the beginning to me, uh, if he wanted to be
Speaker 4: here with a sign with us. I think Philadelphia, especially
Speaker 4: with their need at the linebacker position, they suffering right now.
Speaker 4: Are the Cowboys suffering at the same page that the
Speaker 4: Eagles are?
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 4: So obviously, when it came down to the negotiation standpoint,
Speaker 4: he had more leverage and probably leveraged last night's game,
Speaker 4: yesterday's game, whereas the senior you need me, So they
Speaker 4: made the more that was probably beneficial for them. But still, man,
Speaker 4: you got a player that maybe has some health issues.
Speaker 4: It may not be the long term answer for them
Speaker 4: if he can't get healthy this year. Yeah, I think
Speaker 4: you could have helped us. I think you could have
Speaker 4: helped us. Unfortunate that he did go to the Eagles,
Speaker 4: But like I said, is what it is. You know,
Speaker 4: like it happens. You had an opportunity. He decided, you
Speaker 4: want to go somewhere else. Now he got to see us,
Speaker 4: hopefully on Sunday. One of the big time runs that
Speaker 4: Tony Paula be been putting on these defensives. Maybe you
Speaker 4: see one of them that this Sunday. So, I mean,
Speaker 4: I still think we have enough to do what we
Speaker 4: need to do to go out there and get the
Speaker 4: win against the Eagles. As long as we show up
Speaker 4: you know how we've been playing, and we don't take
Speaker 4: a step back, I think we'll be okay. Now we're
Speaker 4: gonna have a fired up Eagles team though coming here.
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be some fireworks.
Speaker 3: The Cowboys Eagle game on NBC Sunday and at football
Speaker 3: it is the Marquee game. It is going to be packed.
Speaker 3: If you plan on going out to the game, I
Speaker 3: would adviuy you to get the early. Whatever time you
Speaker 3: normally leave, you may want to leave forty forty five
Speaker 3: earlier because everybody is trying to get to this game.
Speaker 3: It is going to be the hottest ticket in town.
Speaker 3: And for the folks who went out there Thanksgiving Day,
Speaker 3: you know it was packed. This is going to be
Speaker 3: next level. This one truly matters. This is a game
Speaker 3: the Cowboys have to have, period. They cannot afford to
Speaker 3: lose this game.
Speaker 5: You gotta win it. Got no choice. Heck, they got
Speaker 5: no choice.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you I'm going back to the last
Speaker 4: night's game. Okay, I'm going back to the last night's game,
Speaker 4: and it was it was a point in that game
Speaker 4: where I said, oh, they're not getting off the hook tonight.
Speaker 4: I've seen them be down and they make a move
Speaker 4: to get back, but it was like San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Is not letting them up off the mat.
Speaker 4: They are going to put their foot on the neck
Speaker 4: and continue to expose the weaknesses not only in their
Speaker 4: defense but on their offense.
Speaker 2: They just didn't have.
Speaker 4: They didn't have that whatever it is Jenney sei Kwal
Speaker 4: to get back in games like they had been before.
Speaker 2: And man, the people are lying to us in the media.
Speaker 2: They're saying that.
Speaker 4: Running games don't count, because they do. And you saw
Speaker 4: it with CEMC yesterday. That was the difference him being
Speaker 4: able to run in the phone booth against that defensive
Speaker 4: line and get to the second level and the Eagles
Speaker 4: just can't tackle. I don't know if y'all do it.
Speaker 4: I mean, they have tackling problems. But man, that they
Speaker 4: exposed the back half of that that defense.
Speaker 5: So heck, and Danny was born in nineteen eighty three,
Speaker 5: so he don't know this. I'm like you and I
Speaker 5: know this is.
Speaker 2: Cluver Lane, your son pain. That's what they My favorite
Speaker 2: Rocky by the.
Speaker 5: Way, what's your prediction poin?
Speaker 2: That's what they came out and talking.
Speaker 3: That noise ran through their little pregame warm up. The
Speaker 3: Sirianni wanted to get a mad. They talked that talk.
Speaker 3: They went in there and beat these boys, and you
Speaker 3: got Debo who talked it waving at the crowd. It
Speaker 3: was fun to watch for me, like popcorn watch.
Speaker 4: I enjoyed it that like all that was cool. I
Speaker 4: think that's one of those one of those things where
Speaker 4: one team is a little bit they have more motivation
Speaker 4: to come in there and try to fight you because
Speaker 4: they lost.
Speaker 2: Like I'm coming to get revenged. I got a little bit.
Speaker 4: More about me when I come in, So yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: talk a little bit more trash when the other people
Speaker 4: looking at you, like, hey, y'all, y'all just up.
Speaker 2: We already beat y'all. So I can.
Speaker 4: Understand why Debo and them need to come out and
Speaker 4: do all that. And also that's they brand of football.
Speaker 4: Get a little physical, try to get your head, get
Speaker 4: a little dirty, and then go out there, you know,
Speaker 4: and punish. And they did. And they ain't the only
Speaker 4: team that the forty nine ers to punish. I think
Speaker 4: them being healthy with Deebo and Trent Williams on the
Speaker 4: on the field at the same time. That's just that's
Speaker 4: just a hard team for you to defend. That's a
Speaker 4: hard team for you to defend. They run a game.
Speaker 4: They running game. Rock Party slipped a little bit. Rock
Speaker 4: Purty's the real deal. He can go out there. Shanahan
Speaker 4: caused the right place for him to be able to
Speaker 4: make him. With Ayu and Debo and CMC and George Kittle,
Speaker 4: they put on the full show last night.
Speaker 2: So shout out to them. They they came out ready to.
Speaker 5: Go forty two points.
Speaker 3: Philadelphia held eighteen rushers for forty.
Speaker 5: Eight yards running the ball and they couldn't run the ball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was it was a show. That's the way
Speaker 4: you do It's it was a show. Now that's the
Speaker 4: way you do it. I wanted to see. We talk
Speaker 4: about their strengths and we talk about the weakness, but
Speaker 4: the strength of their team has been their ability to
Speaker 4: run and stay balanced. What we saw from San Francisco
Speaker 4: was them sell out to say, you're not gonna be
Speaker 4: able to run the ball, period, We'll take away everything else.
Speaker 2: Get we don't care about giving you a J. Brown.
Speaker 4: And they frustrated AJ Brown so much last last night,
Speaker 4: and that's maybe that's the key to getting him off
Speaker 4: his game, is just frustrating him because he can be
Speaker 4: his own worst enemy in those situations. But defensively, they
Speaker 4: had no answer for the San Francisco. For the Niners,
Speaker 4: We've been there, I've seen that kind of pressure put
Speaker 4: on us.
Speaker 2: I've just for the last two weeks.
Speaker 4: We're looking to evaluated Seattle when they played against San
Speaker 4: Francisco last week and now looking at this Philadelphia tape
Speaker 4: versus San Francisco. You go, man, once they get you
Speaker 4: in this position where you don't know if they're gonna run,
Speaker 4: whether they're gonna pass, they just completely nullify your pass rush.
Speaker 4: He listen, last night's game did not make me feel
Speaker 4: any better about us. Just so you know, like I
Speaker 4: wasn't watching the Eagles saying, oh yeah, we got a
Speaker 4: better chance at beating them.
Speaker 3: Hool that because I want to dive deeper into what
Speaker 3: you just said. Right there, Danny, that deserves a deeper dive.
Speaker 2: He said it too quick, didn't you know?
Speaker 5: I want to get a take a break, come back here.

Speaker 2: come on, let's go.
Speaker 3: You know what man I'm I just you know, heckmanize
Speaker 3: him around here, man, we feeling good.
Speaker 2: Good to watch what we watched here.
Speaker 3: I feel I feel like you're trying to just poor
Speaker 3: little salt in it was on Monday, or or the realism.
Speaker 3: Maybe it'sat the realism. I'm not ready to drink the
Speaker 3: realism drink just yet. But that's okay. That's why we're here,
Speaker 3: that's why we do the show.
Speaker 4: So no, I'm just saying, like me, watching the Eagles
Speaker 4: get beat down like that doesn't make me feel better
Speaker 4: about the Cowboy how I felt about how I felt
Speaker 4: about our chances to get the against the Eagles going
Speaker 4: into that game that they played against San Francisco on Sunday.
Speaker 4: I still feel the same, and now I feel a
Speaker 4: little bit more like now the pressure is on both teams.
Speaker 4: You got a team that just got stumped out like that.
Speaker 4: They gotta respond right now. You're gonna get the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: This is playing for so the Cowboys don't tie you
Speaker 4: up in the division.
Speaker 2: You're going to get a really, really.
Speaker 4: Good effort out of the Eagles, especially if you wasn't
Speaker 4: getting the best, if they would have want, you're gonna
Speaker 4: get it now because they have to respond. They in
Speaker 4: the situation to where they need to get a win.
Speaker 4: That's going to like the States are hired for both teams.
Speaker 4: But I saw us get stumped out by the forty niners.
Speaker 4: All right, I know what type of team they or
Speaker 4: I know what type of difficulties that they can present
Speaker 4: to a defense. And we watched it happen with the
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Eagles, who had barely been hanging on for the
Speaker 4: last couple weeks. Now they got a shot to sit
Speaker 4: down and say, all right, well, we gotta go see
Speaker 4: what we gotta fix, Cowboys. We need to do that
Speaker 4: proof time and consistency against teams with winning records, and
Speaker 4: this is just another opportunity for us to do that
Speaker 4: against the Eagles. I don't feel like, all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: now we found the magic blueprint to go knock the
Speaker 4: Eagles out.
Speaker 2: I don't feel that way.
Speaker 3: So the thing old school sitting here, we're sitting on
Speaker 3: hopes and dreams. Cowboy fans, right now, you got hopes
Speaker 3: and dreams of trying to win this division. Won't get
Speaker 3: the one seed if the records all stay the same,
Speaker 3: because San Francisco will on the one seed.
Speaker 2: But they got bout some more and some they they
Speaker 2: got settle.
Speaker 5: If everything stays the same.
Speaker 3: But but you got some hopes and dreams, if you're
Speaker 3: a Cowboy fan right now and knowing you can get
Speaker 3: it done.
Speaker 5: We did, we did the preseason.
Speaker 3: But I think all of us tin to check our
Speaker 3: little magic not chat of integrity.
Speaker 2: Let me look, let me look magic sheet of integrity.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you. I'm telling you a the time. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you believe.
Speaker 5: I believe, we believe they.
Speaker 2: We lost the two big games already. I was right,
Speaker 2: that's right.
Speaker 5: Hey man, I'm just saying.
Speaker 4: Right, listen, see what see this is how you're trying
Speaker 4: to paint it. I'm not saying that I don't believe
Speaker 4: we can beat them. I'm saying how I felt about
Speaker 4: them after we win Blue breaks off of was a
Speaker 4: seat or our offense played very well against Seattle, how
Speaker 4: we played against them, I was like, you know what,
Speaker 4: we got a shot to be really really good on offense,
Speaker 4: and we can beat anybody. I still feel the exact
Speaker 4: same way about going into this game. I do not
Speaker 4: feel like now we can go out here and just
Speaker 4: blow out the Eagles because all of a sudden, chinking
Speaker 4: their armor and now we didn't figure out.
Speaker 2: How to beat them. I don't feel that way.
Speaker 4: I feel like you still need to show up and
Speaker 4: this is going to be one of those one of
Speaker 4: those classic games. I feel like it's gonna be one
Speaker 4: of those.
Speaker 5: I don't disagree with you on that.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 3: Talking to Rodney Harrison today, ask me about some things like, well,
Speaker 3: you know, Keys is the game And one of the
Speaker 3: things I told right said, they have got to figure
Speaker 3: out these dog on penalties. It is still problematic and
Speaker 3: it's gonna hurt you in a game of this type
Speaker 3: of magnitude of the team is good with the nine penalties.
Speaker 2: The other ninth nine nine and uh nine for one, that's.
Speaker 5: Not gonna cut it.
Speaker 2: No, it's not.
Speaker 4: And especially when you go up against a team that
Speaker 4: can can score with you. Those undisciplined things that have
Speaker 4: been happening in Mike McCarthy's tenure here as a coach
Speaker 4: as something that I'm sure that he's trying to get
Speaker 4: ahead of and not happen, especially when, like I said,
Speaker 4: you play a forty nine ers or you play a
Speaker 4: Philadelphia team. And then also limiting the turnovers as well.
Speaker 4: You can't turn the ball over versus good teams like that,
Speaker 4: and I think Dak Prescott's play has shown you that
Speaker 4: if he don't turn the ball over and the defense
Speaker 4: can just hold up, we're gonna win some really close
Speaker 4: games and we can blow some teams out. Danny, I
Speaker 4: just believe this game was the Philadelphia's gonna play this
Speaker 4: game the same way if they had three days rest,
Speaker 4: whatever it is they're gonna play because of the NFC
Speaker 4: East Divisional game. Look, all I've been looking for when
Speaker 4: I've been watching Philly is somebody to expose what I've
Speaker 4: seen Last week when Buffalo played them, I had the
Speaker 4: feeling that Josh Allen was already showing it.
Speaker 2: Look, they are vulnerable, they can be.
Speaker 4: Beat if they had them, and they let Philadelphia off
Speaker 4: the hook. They allowed them to get back in that
Speaker 4: game and win it in overtime. Yesterday versus San Francisco.
Speaker 4: San Francisco just never let up, and it was those
Speaker 4: fourteen every quarter fourteenth. You start to break that game
Speaker 4: down and you start to say, man, San Francisco is
Speaker 4: on a roll and Philadelphia can't do anything about it.
Speaker 4: What made me feel good is just basically saying Tony Pollard,
Speaker 4: I hope you're watching this game, because if you can
Speaker 4: have some success guys like Brandon cooks our third and fourth,
Speaker 4: but Ferguson guys like that they can eat versus this
Speaker 4: secondary cook. You are right, because I want I don't
Speaker 4: want to knock out players. I'm just saying when you
Speaker 4: when you look at the guys who are making those
Speaker 4: type of players last night debo coming out of the backfield,
Speaker 4: and then you talked about Christian McCaffrey being the guy
Speaker 4: Tony Paula Christian McCaffrey not the same player, all right,
Speaker 4: I think I think that San Francisco has some different
Speaker 4: ways of utilizing those players, and then also having the CMC.
Speaker 4: It's a reason why he's made such a difference since
Speaker 4: he's been in San Francisco actually being probably the main
Speaker 4: piece of why they're so successful. It's a reason why
Speaker 4: is there So Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 4: teams who are not who are not able to handle
Speaker 4: a team like San Francisco, especially if they get the
Speaker 4: lead on them like.
Speaker 2: That they've cut up and when healthy or absolutely.
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is production wise, a guy like Tony
Speaker 4: Pollard not only can give you the minute in the
Speaker 4: running game, he can also give it to you in
Speaker 4: the passing game as well, and that's where I draw
Speaker 4: the comparison between those two. Ceedee Lamb right now is
Speaker 4: playing better than any wide receiver in the NFC.
Speaker 2: And you can put de bot name in there as well.
Speaker 2: The numbers don't lie. I'm not. I'm not saying that.
Speaker 4: And can we look at Tony Poller's receiving yards for
Speaker 4: the last few games, like if we're comparing him to the
Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey touched down every game, all that stuff, it's
Speaker 4: not to me, it's not the same. It's not We
Speaker 4: don't present the same type of challenges to Philly that
Speaker 4: San Francisco UH does to Philly. We did play Philadelphia
Speaker 4: very well when we played them, it ain't the same
Speaker 4: head like we got. I'm not I'm not calling I'm
Speaker 4: not calling them the same, Danny. I'm saying what they
Speaker 4: can do as players as far as the way that
Speaker 4: you can use them. That's why I said, that's why
Speaker 4: Tony Pollad is so important in this game versus Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: Not calling him CMC. What I'm saying is if he
Speaker 4: can have the same type of game production seventeen carries
Speaker 4: ninety seven yards in the touchdown, we need that. If
Speaker 4: he can have forty catches forty yards, we need that.
Speaker 4: But also if Ceedee Lamb can have the same type
Speaker 4: of performance that he had before, which was one hundred
Speaker 4: and ninety one yards receiving, I'm not asking him to
Speaker 4: do that again, but still have that type of production
Speaker 4: and Ferguson and the other guys that you need, the
Speaker 4: other cast of characters that you need to show up
Speaker 4: and have half production.
Speaker 2: We could beat this. I just want to be clear.
Speaker 4: You had one hundred and forty total yards for Tony
Speaker 4: Poller when you just said that, which I don't like that.
Speaker 4: That's not a I gotta see it continuously to believe
Speaker 4: that Tony Paul is going to do such a thing.
Speaker 4: I believe Ceedee Lamb is gonna go hand on these guys.
Speaker 4: I believe you get Brandon Cooks involved in the game.
Speaker 4: I think he can be a very impactful player in
Speaker 4: this game.
Speaker 3: Going back into just looking statistically at that Cowboy game
Speaker 3: they lost twenty eight twenty three in Philadelphia. Brandon Cooks
Speaker 3: and we spoke about he had one catch in the
Speaker 3: game for seven yards and was targeted a grand total
Speaker 3: of two times. Ceedee Lamb in that game, had sixteen
Speaker 3: tardsgets eleven catches. Ferguson had ten targets for seven catches.
Speaker 3: Jalen Tolbert five targets, three catches, Michael Gallup three targets,
Speaker 3: two catches. Tony Pollard had three catches in that game
Speaker 3: for twelve yards on five targets and then running the ball,
Speaker 3: he was twelve fifty one in the game, no touchdowns
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 5: And as a team, the Cowboys were.
Speaker 3: Twenty seven carries seventy three yards, averaging three point five.
Speaker 3: So I think they got to get the run game
Speaker 3: up in that game there. But to me, I go
Speaker 3: back to what you said, and then afterwards when it
Speaker 3: was presented to Mike McCarthy, we saw cooks go on
Speaker 3: a run. If they can incorporate cooks into this, let's
Speaker 3: say you take the eight targets you gave Tolbert and
Speaker 3: Gallop and you throw six to seven cooks, you can.
Speaker 5: Have a different game.
Speaker 3: Because we know Philadelphia's secondary is not good.
Speaker 5: It's not good.
Speaker 3: And oh by the way, ryding Hairschbar, somebody gonna help
Speaker 3: term steel this week. I'm like, that's a dog gone
Speaker 3: good question.
Speaker 4: San Francisco presented a bunch of different challenges to Philly,
Speaker 4: and they're gonna present a bunch of different challenges to
Speaker 4: a lot of different teams. I think us against Philly,
Speaker 4: it's just totally different. Like we're finna play a divisional game.
Speaker 4: We went up there last time, all like we had
Speaker 4: a chance to win the game. We played them very well.
Speaker 4: It wasn't very high scoring, but both both teams were
Speaker 4: making plays. And like you said, Tony Pollard, how many
Speaker 4: catches for thirteen yards? Three catches for thirteen yard for
Speaker 4: twelve yards and then fifty yards Russian. I'm saying that's
Speaker 4: the difference of like what we would need Tony Poler
Speaker 4: to do. When you watch what Christian McCaffrey has been
Speaker 4: able to do the teams, If we want Tony Poler
Speaker 4: to be able to do that, like he's gonna have
Speaker 4: to show us that he's still that he still got
Speaker 4: that ninety seven yards Russian and forty yards catching. That's
Speaker 4: a hell of a game and I would love to
Speaker 4: see Tony Pouler do that.
Speaker 3: So what if it's Tony Pollard playoffs against like he
Speaker 3: had against the forty nine ers against the Philadelpi team,
Speaker 3: does that you know that kind of.
Speaker 4: I'm better with it, like you just you just have
Speaker 4: to be able to run. Like I'm enjoying to put
Speaker 4: it all on Dak Prescott. I'm enjoying it because Dak
Speaker 4: Prescott has been taking care of the ball, throwing multiple touchdowns,
Speaker 4: get multiple people involved. But that running game is something
Speaker 4: that I believe that when you play against teams like that,
Speaker 4: especially if you're able to get a lead, people that
Speaker 4: let Philadelphia off the hook decided not to run the football.
Speaker 4: If you able to really have Tony Pouler have a
Speaker 4: real footprinted impact on this game, then I think it's different.
Speaker 4: But if you don't, then you're back to playing that
Speaker 4: same ball that you played last time. When you look
Speaker 4: at Dallas, when you look at Dallas and you look
Speaker 4: at the wins that they've had, and you look at
Speaker 4: them versus the San Franciscos and the Philadelphias, you do
Speaker 4: have to come away with saying we're missing something. We're
Speaker 4: missing something. Even with all the success that they've had lately,
Speaker 4: you're still saying there's something missing. And I'm saying that
Speaker 4: that ingredient has to be the running game that we're not.
Speaker 2: Able to expose.
Speaker 4: Teams move the chains do what we saw last night,
Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey do. I am not calling Tony Pollard Christian
Speaker 4: McCaffrey for the record.
Speaker 2: I'm saying is.
Speaker 4: If you you get the production out of your running
Speaker 4: game the same that you see San Francisco getting it,
Speaker 4: you will have that production because then Dak Prescott doesn't
Speaker 4: have to play to the defense's traps that they're trying
Speaker 4: to set for.
Speaker 2: And I agree.
Speaker 4: The only thing I'm saying is San Francisco is they
Speaker 4: major in running the football and causing confusion with eyes
Speaker 4: and alignments and motions. They major in that. We are
Speaker 4: not that team, like our scheme is not what San
Speaker 4: Franca Haven't.
Speaker 2: You seen Mike? Have you seen Mike get to a
Speaker 2: little bit of that? Though?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, and I have I'm sorry to
Speaker 4: cut you off. I have, I have seen them get
Speaker 4: to that. I'm saying it's still different for what Shanahan does.
Speaker 4: How much you can sprinkle in with what Mike Mike
Speaker 4: McCarthy's been doing. They major in making sure that your
Speaker 4: eyes are in the right place, and if they not,
Speaker 4: it's gonna be big runs and big passes all over
Speaker 4: the place. And that's that's what they're gonna present to
Speaker 4: any team that they play.
Speaker 5: All right, let's get a break in here.

Speaker 4: Waiting Joe Frasier, Joe Fraser's fighting Muhammad Ali and then
Speaker 4: I mean, Joe Fraser's fighting George Forman and then he
Speaker 4: knock him out and the look on everybody's face. I
Speaker 4: feel like that's what people was doing last night for
Speaker 4: the Cowboy They sitting there like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Down goes free.
Speaker 10: Oh but I'm like, hey, man, listen, I'm glad.
Speaker 2: I'm glad, y'all happy? You know what it is.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you more than anything, it's just that you've
Speaker 4: seen teams the Cowboys started it. They had their opportunities
Speaker 4: to beat this team that was on a roll, on
Speaker 4: a winning streak, And you're saying to yourself, man, we
Speaker 4: had every opportunity. You see another team, Miami come in
Speaker 4: up on them, and then they find a way to
Speaker 4: give the game back to him. Buffalo had him find
Speaker 4: a way to give the game back to him, and
Speaker 4: then last night you just had this feeling like I
Speaker 4: know you, Lyne, I know you are not about to
Speaker 4: lit them, especially after that first quarter that San Francisco had,
Speaker 4: which was a horrible first quarter. They just got up
Speaker 4: off the mat and just started whooping on them.
Speaker 2: That's that should lead you right into your next point.
Speaker 4: Because the teams you just named that the Eagles beat
Speaker 4: throughout that whole time with the with the Dolphins, and
Speaker 4: then go out there and beat they beat us, to
Speaker 4: beat the Bills. That's that's Those are some really good teams.
Speaker 4: There's some really good teams. We ain't make an excuse
Speaker 4: for nobody.
Speaker 3: They guntlet his own players, Craig Fire that's today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's all right. I just I just.
Speaker 5: The Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Are we Cowboys fans have.
Speaker 5: Hopes and dreams available.
Speaker 2: Again, if I'm watching somebody else, whoop the Eagles.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we got my phone out, got my phone.
Speaker 4: The guys in the locker room, we got to bring everything.
Speaker 4: Everything we got you had to anyways on the line.
Speaker 4: I think it's a little different. I think I think
Speaker 4: it means a little bit more at this point because
Speaker 4: at first you had a little cushion.
Speaker 2: Now you ain't got no cushion. Yes, yeah, got my
Speaker 2: phone out on video.
Speaker 4: So so don't lose it because you saw them get
Speaker 4: their butt wop.
Speaker 5: Like that man checking social media last night.
Speaker 3: It was a national and he's based up in the
Speaker 3: New England area up north. He tweets out that this
Speaker 3: should not be a shock that the Eagles losses thirteen games,
Speaker 3: and I mean three games and thirteen days. They had
Speaker 3: the overtime game against Buffalo. You knew they would be tired.
Speaker 3: One reason why I did pick Philadelphia to get beat
Speaker 3: was the fact that, yes, this is a tough guntlet
Speaker 3: they were on, especially playing Buffalo, and if you don't
Speaker 3: know how to navigate it like the Cowboys do and
Speaker 3: Danny you played here.
Speaker 5: You know about the three games in twelve days.
Speaker 3: If you don't know how to navigate it and you're
Speaker 3: not ready for it, you can't get got.
Speaker 5: But the way they got beat up.
Speaker 3: Okay, I thought Philadelphia because going back here when I
Speaker 3: picked my game, I thought Philly would lose and I
Speaker 3: had them going down thirty two to twenty six. I
Speaker 3: didn't think they was gonna go there and get the
Speaker 3: breaks beat off of I mean, they got the breaks
Speaker 3: beat off of them.
Speaker 5: But is it an excuse the.
Speaker 3: Whole you know, three games of thirteen days, or is
Speaker 3: it a reason why they got it.
Speaker 4: If you gave them ten days rest and they got
Speaker 4: up next Sunday and played San Francisco, they get they
Speaker 4: butt beat the same San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Is that good?
Speaker 4: They have all of the weapons, they have the scheme,
Speaker 4: and you were just talking about Shanahan and their attention
Speaker 4: to detail and running the ball the way that.
Speaker 2: They used Kittle yesterday.
Speaker 4: I mean, it was checkmate all over the field, darted,
Speaker 4: there was nothing that Sirianni could do. By the time
Speaker 4: they got to the fourth quarter, doll that game was
Speaker 4: over with. And I was asking myself, why the hell
Speaker 4: is Jalen Hurst back in his game? Because it's over with.
Speaker 4: It's over with, and so I mean, it doesn't matter
Speaker 4: they pulled the San Francisco proved the point that they
Speaker 4: wanted to from the playoff loss.
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that.
Speaker 4: What you man, what you think about the because it
Speaker 4: sounds like you're saying nine times out of ten, the
Speaker 4: San Francisco forty nine ers are going to beat the
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Eagles, And I don't agree. I don't agree. I'm
Speaker 4: not making any excuses for the God what could they
Speaker 4: I'm not. I'm not making excuses for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 4: You are correct about the one the Gauntlet, and then
Speaker 4: how many games you play in a certain amount of days,
Speaker 4: and sometimes you just get a bad draw coming off
Speaker 4: the last game that you play in the in that
Speaker 4: in that little series. And I think the draft that
Speaker 4: they got last night for the for the San Francisco
Speaker 4: forty nine is to come in after getting beat last
Speaker 4: year in the playoffs because the quarterback is out.
Speaker 2: Are you giving them an excuse?
Speaker 4: I just said, I said, I'm not okay, they don't
Speaker 4: exu You went on the field, you walked out on
Speaker 4: the field, you played the game.
Speaker 2: There's no excuse.
Speaker 4: You've been off for three you played three and twelve.
Speaker 4: No one would have gave the Cowboys an excuse, period, right.
Speaker 2: Not that I'm not. I'm not taking it there.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you that one playing those that many games
Speaker 4: and that in that short amount of time, it does
Speaker 4: take taking a toll on you. But you stepped up
Speaker 4: out there, you prepared all week, and you played the game.
Speaker 4: You don't have no excuse for losing and they didn't
Speaker 4: make any this this reporter did. I didn't hit none
Speaker 4: of the Eagles guys in the locker room saying that, hey,
Speaker 4: this is why we lost. They went out there and
Speaker 4: they got they butt whooped, and you know they're gonna
Speaker 4: take it.
Speaker 3: One of the things I have admired about what Mike
Speaker 3: McCarthy's done in his job here the past few seasons
Speaker 3: is he's figured out that schedule of how you got
Speaker 3: to operate this thing, and if.
Speaker 5: You haven't done it, there's an adjustment period there.
Speaker 3: And that game against Buffalo overtime game takes something natty,
Speaker 3: but still I thought it would be a close game.
Speaker 3: I did not expect the San Francisco forty nine ers
Speaker 3: to come in there and butt stop them. I mean
Speaker 3: that was the part like, oh oh oh.
Speaker 2: I thought they were stop the fight. Stopped the fight. Yes,
Speaker 2: I think, I think.
Speaker 4: I think watching that game last night, I do believe
Speaker 4: that San Francisco is the better team. I don't think
Speaker 4: there's that much better. I don't think there's that much
Speaker 4: better to where every time they playing it's gonna look
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 2: I think that right now they are the better team.
Speaker 4: But you would agree, but you would agree that when
Speaker 4: we played them forty two to ten, that they were
Speaker 4: that much better than us at that time.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, watching that with my own eye, Oh
Speaker 3: yeah it was.
Speaker 2: I mean it was a replay with It's not like
Speaker 2: that they miss me.
Speaker 4: But then when you watch Philadelphia play the same game,
Speaker 4: you say, oh, they could play better than than what
Speaker 4: I'm saying. I'm sorry, they're better than us. They're not
Speaker 4: forty whatever the team better than us. I'm saying they
Speaker 4: are better. I still believe at that point they were
Speaker 4: a better team than we were.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't think they're not because this is gonna happen
Speaker 4: because this is the NFL.
Speaker 2: This is the NFL.
Speaker 4: Soon as you put the team up there on the pedestal, okay,
Speaker 4: they're gonna go out there. They got Seattle, they got Seattle.
Speaker 4: This week, they got Baltimore. They still got played. I'm
Speaker 4: watching what the Green Bay Packers doing. You look at
Speaker 4: Kansas City, who were talking about the time like that's like,
Speaker 4: that's the least see that.
Speaker 2: This is crazy. That's the lead. That's that's that's my point.
Speaker 5: Spen Son, A rematch it. I don't think they got
Speaker 5: that on paper.
Speaker 2: I don't think they got that.
Speaker 4: I'm leaving him alone, but I need to say the
Speaker 4: full thing. Shout out.
Speaker 2: I know you.
Speaker 4: You won't let it go.
Speaker 2: We have been off that.
Speaker 4: You can't we talking about something else.
Speaker 2: And I let it go. It's over. It's over.
Speaker 4: It's not good for the next twenty minutes. It's all good.
Speaker 4: I feel will spill. I don't miss it.
Speaker 2: Something. Don't give me.
Speaker 4: I got nothing, nothing, I got nothing. Man, listen, I
Speaker 4: know the church will be back and all and stuff.
Speaker 4: We better show up.
Speaker 3: It's a fun week, man, It's a fun week all
Speaker 3: week long. Sunday night football on NBC, the Eagles come
Speaker 3: to town. Uh they call it Dallas weak up there.
Speaker 3: You might as well call it Eagles Week this year
Speaker 3: the boy because at the end of the day, you
Speaker 3: got what you want. You want this, You got hopes
Speaker 3: and dreams in front of you. The Cowboys have to respond.
Speaker 3: No people talk about you and be a winning team
Speaker 3: all year long. Okay, here you go. Even though Seattle
Speaker 3: was six and five. You know who they are. You
Speaker 3: know what it's about. No excuses, get it done.
Speaker 2: How many opportunities do you get to prove that you belong.
Speaker 2: This is another one. Right. We done fail.
Speaker 4: This has failed quite We have failed quite a few
Speaker 4: and here we get another opportunity to prove it. And
Speaker 4: that's all you can ask for, especially with the playoff
Speaker 4: seating to being where it is right now, you have
Speaker 4: an opportunity to take advantage of an Eagles team that's
Speaker 4: coming off of loss. You win this game, you tie
Speaker 4: the NFC up and as far as that top seeding.
Speaker 4: And we've been talking about their home playoff winning rate,
Speaker 4: the rate that they've been winning at home, and how
Speaker 4: this team deserves to play a game at home and
Speaker 4: if they're able to get this win, get some luck
Speaker 4: from the Baltimore's and other people in other divisions versus
Speaker 4: San Francisco, they possibly could find themselves. Was the number
Speaker 4: one live up to it. This is a very important
Speaker 4: game going into the last stretch of the season. This
Speaker 4: is a very important game just because the way you
Speaker 4: started the season with your first measure stick game and
Speaker 4: then you got your second measure stick game. Now you're
Speaker 4: finna get your third one before you go into what
Speaker 4: is probably one of the toughest endings to the seasons
Speaker 4: that I've ever second, so to start it off with
Speaker 4: the with the confidence and the momentum of beating the
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Eagles, tyning up for first place.
Speaker 2: It is huge.
Speaker 4: It is huge, and to me, it will be a
Speaker 4: huge let down for us not to take advantage of
Speaker 4: the situation of this opportunity. Shout out to your Houston,
Speaker 4: Texas too. By the way, it's a hell of a game.
Speaker 4: You watch that, gull. I think I only missed one

Speaker 4: Another thing about the the NFC West Goodness Grace is
Speaker 4: the Cardinals all of a sudden that becomes you go
Speaker 4: up in there slipping, and you can lose that game too.

Speaker 4: teams where you still got the Rams who are surgery.
Speaker 4: You got the Arizona Cardinals with Colin Murris playing for us,
Speaker 4: you got Seattle. So yes, the Cowboys have a real
Speaker 4: opportunity here to really make some noise.
