Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the Players
Speaker 1: Lounge broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 1: Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny mccraig, and Newi Scrugs.
Speaker 1: All right, everybody, is that time two thirty pm Central?
Speaker 1: And that means the Players Lounge? Which Boys? Danny cray
Speaker 1: Berry Church, former Dallas Cowboys safety at me, Louis Scrugs,
Speaker 1: former Dallas, not former anything, just a long time Cowboys
Speaker 1: boarding former. Yeah. I trying to fire myself. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to hang it here and do this thing.
Speaker 1: All right, Fellas, you guys are players, so you give
Speaker 1: me your opinions on this right away. Slayter NFL Network
Speaker 1: comes out with a report. It says players are not
Speaker 1: happy with the coaching staff, saying to un prepare Sam,
Speaker 1: they don't know what they're doing. Mike McCarthy came out
Speaker 1: with a quote in the afternoon says it's important for
Speaker 1: us to have those conversations as men, one on one,
Speaker 1: as a group. He went further than that, but that
Speaker 1: was the biggest bulk of what he said. So mccraig,
Speaker 1: you start your thoughts on this, I think that they're
Speaker 1: losing it. You know, we all we already knew this
Speaker 1: about the about the coaching staff, and and I won't
Speaker 1: even I'll take it the farthest to say that. I
Speaker 1: think that some of the players have spoken up about
Speaker 1: this already to some of the coaches, and they just
Speaker 1: probably fell on deaf ears. And now they just went
Speaker 1: on ahead and said, all right, you know, forget it,
Speaker 1: since since the ship is going down, I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: him know. It ain't just the players. It's some of
Speaker 1: the stuff that we learned, and these guys don't know
Speaker 1: what the heck they're talking about. So you know, if
Speaker 1: I'm going down, I'm taking them down with me. That
Speaker 1: that's where I think of that. I think it was.
Speaker 1: I think it was. It was it's a little cowardly
Speaker 1: just to not put your name on it if you're
Speaker 1: gonna say something like that, because there's a lot of
Speaker 1: men in a locker room, and then when you don't
Speaker 1: put your name on it, everybody has to kind of
Speaker 1: like play detective and figure out who it was. So
Speaker 1: I think that sucked about it. But we knew this
Speaker 1: stuff was coming. You know, it's early in the season
Speaker 1: and they played horrible, so it'll be a lot more
Speaker 1: of this stuff coming out later. Yeah, McCray, I mean, look, man,
Speaker 1: the hinges are coming off. Man, the ship is going down,
Speaker 1: you know what it is hitting the fan right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we knew this was gonna come around
Speaker 1: when they started having those player only meetings, the meetings
Speaker 1: that never resolve anything. Man, Me and Danny been a
Speaker 1: part of plenty of those. They don't resolve nothing. All
Speaker 1: you're gonna get is arguments, and then then you'll get
Speaker 1: to this point where it's like, now it's got to
Speaker 1: be the coach's fault. It can't be our fault. So
Speaker 1: we knew this was coming all along. And I gotta
Speaker 1: agree with Danny and McCarthy on this one. If you're
Speaker 1: gonna say something like that, if you're gonna put that
Speaker 1: out there, you gotta attach your name to it. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't be scared and say, oh wait, wait, make
Speaker 1: sure this is anonymous. Hey, this is off the record,
Speaker 1: right and now, if you're gonna say something that big,
Speaker 1: just attach your name to it. It does seem kind
Speaker 1: of cowardly, but for me, we knew this was coming.
Speaker 1: They're falling off the hinges. And if it were one
Speaker 1: of these players, you know that had already went to
Speaker 1: the coaches and they didn't and it fell on death years,
Speaker 1: then then then dinner in a lot more trouble than
Speaker 1: I thought. Because if they're going to these coaches and
Speaker 1: these coaches are just like I, you know, go somewhere
Speaker 1: with all that I don't want to hear any of this,
Speaker 1: then they're in a lot more a lot more damage
Speaker 1: than that we anticipated. But for me, it was kind
Speaker 1: of cowardly to not put your name on there. But
Speaker 1: it's something that I guess needed to be said. I mean,
Speaker 1: we see these players, they've been they've been saying early,
Speaker 1: little little chips here and there, early in the in
Speaker 1: the season about how the play call and it's difficult
Speaker 1: or the playbook is difficult, and now it progressed to
Speaker 1: a player's only meeting and now just progressed fully to
Speaker 1: just going to the media and just throwing all the
Speaker 1: coaches under the bus. So for me, like I said,
Speaker 1: it was a little bit cowardly, but if you got
Speaker 1: to do it to perform better, you gotta do what
Speaker 1: you gotta do. Listen and I think it's funny how
Speaker 1: this started. Right. This started off so great, man, this
Speaker 1: is this defense is better, the communication between the coaches
Speaker 1: and the players, everything is so much better than it
Speaker 1: was before. Blah bla blah blah blah. And we six
Speaker 1: weeks in and all of a sudden, none of that
Speaker 1: stuff is none of that stuff is actarly like everything
Speaker 1: is wrong six weeks after that, like it started off with, Man,
Speaker 1: this defense is this is gonna be disguising and blah
Speaker 1: blah blah and all this. And you know, I like
Speaker 1: the way McCarthy and this Office of Stats open up
Speaker 1: and you know, and we we got open communications. So
Speaker 1: everybody's on the same page and they are the exact
Speaker 1: opposite of that. I've never seen something so opposite from
Speaker 1: what you say then what you put on the field,
Speaker 1: and then now it's the coach's fault. So players, you
Speaker 1: got you got some of this too, because because you
Speaker 1: you were hyping this up and you was on the
Speaker 1: kool aid you at the beginning of the season as well.
Speaker 1: And look, if i'm McCarthy, man, I'm taking these reins
Speaker 1: for play calling. Man, like I'm not. I'm not going
Speaker 1: down without swinging like yeah, y'all, I ain't even to
Speaker 1: just bury me under the bus. And I haven't even
Speaker 1: had a chance to go out there and show y'all
Speaker 1: what I can do. So for me, if i'm McCarthy,
Speaker 1: I'm snatching that playbook. I'm saying, look, Kelly, you just
Speaker 1: weren't performing to what you were doing. You can you
Speaker 1: can still be here. I ain't gonna throw you out
Speaker 1: like that. But as far as your play calling duties, man,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a rap. You're basically gonna be conformed
Speaker 1: to a quarterback coach. Because if I'm going down like this,
Speaker 1: like the way this ship is going down, I gotta
Speaker 1: be swinging. I gotta be throwing my own plays out there.
Speaker 1: So mccarthur, you better take that script, my boy. So mccraig,
Speaker 1: your initial comments, it just made me go right to
Speaker 1: the court scene when Nino Brown is on the stand
Speaker 1: in New Jack City and he jumps up and he says,
Speaker 1: I'm taking a whole lot of people with me. I
Speaker 1: gotta listen to name. It just feels his boat. You
Speaker 1: have players should say, man, look before I get before
Speaker 1: I had to take a pay cut for this, And
Speaker 1: he said, well, my production is down. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and tell you these guys aren't ready. These guys
Speaker 1: aren't preparing you no good. I mean it is just
Speaker 1: I mean the house is burning, man and and and
Speaker 1: while so, so you know your guys, you guys used
Speaker 1: to play with when your former teammate Sean Lee came
Speaker 1: out to that. So Sean Lee spoke and Sean Lee
Speaker 1: said that, you know it's anonymous, nobody put their name
Speaker 1: on it. It's cowardice. And he said that you know,
Speaker 1: these guys had to stick together. He said, there's no
Speaker 1: finger pointing going going on. That was from Sean Lee
Speaker 1: Elliot and that's a bad I might be one of
Speaker 1: the go ahead, go ahead, the back ahead, listen, listen
Speaker 1: before you get to what Zeke said, because because that's
Speaker 1: more relevant than this. This is this is a problem
Speaker 1: that I see here. Why are they asking and hearing
Speaker 1: from somebody who has not played the entire season, is
Speaker 1: not on the field. It does not make any sense
Speaker 1: that this is the guy that you're leaning on to
Speaker 1: say this. You know we're sticking together. You ain't even
Speaker 1: played all year. This is from this stuff should be
Speaker 1: coming from Jalen. These are the only people that that
Speaker 1: we really should be hearing from on issues like this
Speaker 1: because Sean Lee ain't on the field. He hasn't been
Speaker 1: in there running none of these plays. He hasn't been
Speaker 1: you know, in the fire yet you know, no offense
Speaker 1: to him. He just has not been healthy enough to
Speaker 1: get out there. So him speaking on it to me
Speaker 1: is irrelevant. Now when you when you move on to Zeke,
Speaker 1: that makes more sense to me. But the fact that
Speaker 1: the defense and the player, it's a leaning on somebody
Speaker 1: who hasn't even been on the field yet, it doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense. And that's a huge issue. What does Zeke saying? Okay, well,
Speaker 1: actually actually let me let let me if I get
Speaker 1: to Zeke, let me just read you the whole Sean
Speaker 1: Lee comment. Okay, Sean Lee says, quote, first thing I
Speaker 1: think with anonymous sources, you you never really can take
Speaker 1: them serious. First, they don't put their name on it. Second,
Speaker 1: you don't know if the person is in the room
Speaker 1: or not in the room. Maybe they were, maybe they
Speaker 1: are not. Now sometimes you don't know if it's through
Speaker 1: a secondhand source, maybe it's a player, maybe the players,
Speaker 1: or maybe it's coming from the player's anation. You just
Speaker 1: can't speculate, so you have to just say listen, the
Speaker 1: consensus in our locker room with our defense right now
Speaker 1: is that we all need to work hard, we all
Speaker 1: need to improve. There's no pointing fingers. The only way
Speaker 1: out of this is to keep faith in each other,
Speaker 1: and we have that faith. So, like I said, anything anonymous,
Speaker 1: we're not going to worry about that. Somebody won't put
Speaker 1: their name on it so big, but we know the group,
Speaker 1: we're sticking together. We know we need to improve, and
Speaker 1: we're going to continue to stick together and do that.
Speaker 1: That's from sean we we we we we we ain't
Speaker 1: that something that sounds like listen, if somebody slapped me,
Speaker 1: I'm not giving them no excuse. All right, listen, you
Speaker 1: slapped me now. I don't know why he slapped me.
Speaker 1: I don't know who told him to. If he did
Speaker 1: it on his own accord, none of that. Bro. Somebody
Speaker 1: said something we know James Slay or nothing. No, she's
Speaker 1: not no idiot. Somebody in there, one of the players
Speaker 1: said this, and it goes and it ties into everything
Speaker 1: that everybody is seeing outside looking in. So this all fits,
Speaker 1: it all comes together. So this is no you know
Speaker 1: somebody agent saying it, or somebody outside the room saying this.
Speaker 1: Ain't that. Somebody in the locker room said that he
Speaker 1: knows it and he ain't playing. So they need to
Speaker 1: go in there and figure out who it was and
Speaker 1: let them know this ain't how we do stuff. Find
Speaker 1: you a leader on the team and let them address that.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's saying all the right things, though he's
Speaker 1: saying basically a little somebody did say this because he
Speaker 1: said that. You know, look whoever did say it, it
Speaker 1: was anonymous, and you know it was cowardice for them
Speaker 1: not to put their name behind it. So look, I
Speaker 1: mean he's saying all the right stuff. He's saying they
Speaker 1: need to stick together. There can't be any pointing fingers,
Speaker 1: which I know poor a fact is is just a
Speaker 1: lot talk about there's no point, but there's definitely pointing
Speaker 1: going on. You can see it on the field when
Speaker 1: people are looking like, man, what is this guy? You're
Speaker 1: supposed to have my help? So you if they're pointing
Speaker 1: on the field, you know they're pointing in the locker room.
Speaker 1: But I'll give Sewan this man, he is up on
Speaker 1: the fane leader and you know, once he gets back
Speaker 1: on the field. You know, he'll probably have more you know,
Speaker 1: credit to to his words out here saying what he's saying,
Speaker 1: and hopefully he can get on this field and help
Speaker 1: this team. But for me, I mean, he's saying all
Speaker 1: the right stuff, but until we see it on the field, man,
Speaker 1: it's just gonna go on death ears. Absolutely, they need
Speaker 1: him on the field. They need a leader. He's their leader.
Speaker 1: The only thing that's difficult about that is you're not
Speaker 1: on the field at the time, so and we've been
Speaker 1: in a lot of room with that, you know, with
Speaker 1: stuff like that, like hey man, you're just not you're
Speaker 1: not out here to see what's really going on, like
Speaker 1: you seeing it from the sideline. You hearing people complain
Speaker 1: about it. You've got a different perspective than what we
Speaker 1: have when we on the field. And what makes this
Speaker 1: worse is it's a double winding. Your coaches are apparently
Speaker 1: are not good and your players aren't playing hard like,
Speaker 1: so it's both in them. So they can point all
Speaker 1: the fingers that they want to. They have something in
Speaker 1: this as well, and all of it ain't coaching. So
Speaker 1: this is just a dumpster fire right now. All right, Yeah, understand,
Speaker 1: So you know Sean Lee reference. If it's one person,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy talked about one person, it's James Slater. Did
Speaker 1: not quote one player. She quoted several. Okay, so it's
Speaker 1: at least two. At least two. I know this because
Speaker 1: I talked to her. So it's not just one person
Speaker 1: that came forward and said, hey, this is a problem.
Speaker 1: There's several players who have problems right now. So it's
Speaker 1: not just one guy. It's a few dudes in the
Speaker 1: locker room that have issues with this coaching staff right now. Now.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, Okay, go ahead, Dan, I said,
Speaker 1: you listen. The truth is, we can say whatever we
Speaker 1: want to. You can't not have a problem at this
Speaker 1: point in the season. So it's just I think it's
Speaker 1: crazy with somebody they say that, you know, we don't
Speaker 1: know who it is or it's not a play. All
Speaker 1: of them should have a problem, and somebody says something
Speaker 1: they just didn't put their name on. I just want
Speaker 1: to put that there. I know I wouldn't in the
Speaker 1: locker room listening, but I'm willing to bet my house
Speaker 1: that it's somebody that's currently in the locker room that
Speaker 1: said this. Some people, a group of people, and I
Speaker 1: guarantee you, and I guarantee you. The reason they ain't
Speaker 1: put their name behind it is because they probably wanted
Speaker 1: to cats out there playing just as bad, talking about
Speaker 1: they can't they can't coach nothing. Man if I had
Speaker 1: a good coach, i'd be more productive. No, no, man,
Speaker 1: it ain't. If I had to get all that, I
Speaker 1: tell that right now. If I had to guess, it's
Speaker 1: the secondary because they all played the worst, never saying
Speaker 1: the second. If if it's I hope it ain't Daryll Warley,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. I hope it's not him,
Speaker 1: because look, I looked at that play one more tack
Speaker 1: because it would just made me so like mad just
Speaker 1: looking at it. And they're in cover three. Why are
Speaker 1: you two yards in front of the guy who's the
Speaker 1: hook curled defender and the guy that's catching the balls
Speaker 1: a smooth ten in front of you. It just blows
Speaker 1: my mind. He's like a seven year vet. So I mean, no,
Speaker 1: don't get me started on Daryl Worley and it's Terry Poe.
Speaker 1: This will happened when you don't put your name on that.
Speaker 1: That's why this is why I'm so cowardly to do
Speaker 1: it because everybody on the outside has to go and
Speaker 1: try to guess and figure it out. And maybe it's
Speaker 1: this person, baby as that person. So you as a
Speaker 1: teammate have put your your team, your other teammates in
Speaker 1: a position to where some people can't even trust if
Speaker 1: it's them or not. Like you look looking at people
Speaker 1: sideways like, I don't know if he said we know
Speaker 1: he played like trash, yes, Solay, so maybe it was him.
Speaker 1: We heard him getting the argument was so and so,
Speaker 1: like you just don't know, and that's what makes it
Speaker 1: such a big issue within the locker room because you
Speaker 1: just have no idea who it is, so you don't
Speaker 1: know who you can trust in there. And then now
Speaker 1: when you're going on the field, if you're going on
Speaker 1: the field, somebody messes up and makes a bad play
Speaker 1: and you see him all frustrated it. Oh, he was
Speaker 1: probably the one that did it. Was pointing at the fingers.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a slippery slope you're going down right now.
Speaker 1: Sean Lee did say that Mike McCarthy spoke to the
Speaker 1: team and then he told the team if anybody has
Speaker 1: some concern something they want to talk about, to come
Speaker 1: see him. So Mike McCarthy did address it with his football.
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I'm talking about. Many saying with
Speaker 1: your chest, tell them boys, hey look man, if y'all
Speaker 1: got a problem with me saying with your chest, man,
Speaker 1: and I assume nobody said nothing. No, everybody just went
Speaker 1: quiet and start looking down like Man, I didn't say that.
Speaker 1: I didn't say it. Man, Yeah, that ain't that was
Speaker 1: That was kind of coward, me, Man, that was coward.
Speaker 1: Now I did a little cold around, got a little
Speaker 1: got some got some folks get back to me a
Speaker 1: little bit here. And I heard that they are trying
Speaker 1: to find out who is it? Who are the people? No,
Speaker 1: that is, they're trying to smoke out who who in
Speaker 1: the heck gave so so now some worry. There's a
Speaker 1: worry around the Star. I don't know if mister Jones
Speaker 1: is out here trying to get it, but they're trying
Speaker 1: to find out who is it? Who is it? The
Speaker 1: way to say, we ain't worried about so now we
Speaker 1: ain't worried about the Washington football team this week coming up.
Speaker 1: We're worried about who's snitches. See we all over the place. Now, Man,
Speaker 1: if we go out there and lois against Washington. We
Speaker 1: ain't got to worry about who's snitching. The whole team
Speaker 1: about to get blown up. So y'all but focus on
Speaker 1: if you're smart and you in that locker room, you
Speaker 1: will stay the hicc away from James Slayer. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: even make it look like you got any type of
Speaker 1: relationship with her, and you don't want nobody to know
Speaker 1: it with you because anybody that she talked to is
Speaker 1: now a suspect. Well but here and now here's the
Speaker 1: thing on that, Danny. Remember you can't get near the player,
Speaker 1: so there's no locker room access, so nobody's seen somebody's
Speaker 1: reaching out your reporters, right, So so this can be
Speaker 1: done right now. I mean you you know you're not
Speaker 1: gonna see anybody talking quote unquote talking to Jane. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is right now, is just done electronically. You said,
Speaker 1: a text to the phone calling, So so you know
Speaker 1: that's why I said, they're trying to smoke out who
Speaker 1: it is. And there's some folks around the worry. But
Speaker 1: how do you do don't that's why you don't give
Speaker 1: your personal info out to reporters who come to the
Speaker 1: locker rooms. I mean when they they they want to
Speaker 1: hit you up for one thing, they want to hit
Speaker 1: you up for a story. I mean that that's that's it.
Speaker 1: And when you give your personal info out, that's how
Speaker 1: stuff gets leaked. Man. You never get your info out
Speaker 1: to the medium. Man. Well, m well, Church, you knew
Speaker 1: we wouldn't. You weren't giving us nothing back in the day.

Speaker 1: I was like I was a special team. You remember
Speaker 1: how he did with them special teams. How I ain't.

Speaker 1: they look pretty decent. I'm going Houston with the upset
Speaker 1: thirty five twenty eight. All right, Kansas City is at Denver,
Speaker 1: and Kansas City's favored by nine and a half points.
Speaker 1: What you got? Oh this is easy? I mean and
Speaker 1: Drew Luckingham boys out there. They ain't they ain't doing
Speaker 1: nothing offensively. Um, you know they're Their defense over there
Speaker 1: is decent and over in Denver, but they can't do
Speaker 1: nothing with my homes and company. So it's actually if
Speaker 1: they got that ground game going. So I'm going Chiefs
Speaker 1: thirty one, Denver seventeen low cast a lot of points
Speaker 1: on the road up there in my high Jacksonville okay,
Speaker 1: oh oh, Jacksonville's in Los Angeles and the Chargers are
Speaker 1: favored by eight points. Oh the Chune Okay, Well, I
Speaker 1: did get Justin Herbert in fantasy, so I'm gonna needed
Speaker 1: him to have a big day. Jacksonville's defense hasn't been
Speaker 1: the same since seventeen, So for me, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: Chargers twenty four Jacksonville fourteen. Soon Jacksonville about to start,
Speaker 1: They're about to start taking they get Lawrence in a second.
Speaker 1: They might end the season three and thirteen. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that'll be enough, but you know, I've never
Speaker 1: I'll never skip an opportunity to throw a jab at
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jack. I's gonna throw that. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: throw that out there. New England took a loss to
Speaker 1: Denver last week, So now New England is a two
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite, two and a half point
Speaker 1: favorite against the San Francisco forty nine ers. What you got, see,
Speaker 1: This one's tough, man, This one's tough because, I mean,
Speaker 1: Cam Newton just got back from COVID and you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, they were going through going through some
Speaker 1: things over in Denver. Oh, this one's tough, man, This
Speaker 1: one's tough. But I'm gonna give it to I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give it to New England. I'm gonna give it to
Speaker 1: New England. And they covered the spread twenty one seventeen.
Speaker 1: All Right, the Carolina Panthers, who were playing good football.
Speaker 1: I mean they're discipline, they get out there, they fight hard.
Speaker 1: I mean, first year head coach Matt Rules got this
Speaker 1: team playing decent. But they're New Orleans in there, a
Speaker 1: seven and a half point dog. What you got They're
Speaker 1: at New Orleans. Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm going. I'm going.
Speaker 1: Mister slant and New Orleans slant by they'll cover the spread.
Speaker 1: You said the spread was only four, right, No, the
Speaker 1: spread seven and a half. Man, oh, the spread seven
Speaker 1: and a half. So they won't cover the spread. But
Speaker 1: mister slant and New Orleans slants they'll they'll get it together.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give him twenty four twenty one Saints. Okay,
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is a two point favorite at Tennessee. M this one,
Speaker 1: this one's gonna be tough. I mean, you got two
Speaker 1: offenses that are clicking right now. I haven't seen a
Speaker 1: team yet fully stopped Derrick Henry, but this you know,
Speaker 1: this Pittsburgh team, they play defense and they take the
Speaker 1: ball away. Chase Claypool's been showing up. You know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna go. It's at Tennessee. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and go Tennessee twenty four twenty one.
Speaker 1: All right, so you're going Tennessee See protectives whole turf,
Speaker 1: all right? Right here? See, you got three more to
Speaker 1: pick here, three more to picks up. Seattle is four.
Speaker 1: Seattle is a four point favorite at Arizona. Man after
Speaker 1: what I saw from Cala Murray when he came down
Speaker 1: to Jerry World, I don't see Seattle stopping anything with
Speaker 1: this guy, and there's no one in the open field
Speaker 1: that can hang with him. But he was a little
Speaker 1: aread as far as his passes were going early in
Speaker 1: the first half. So for me, I'm gonna go Seattle
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson pools this one out. They come back
Speaker 1: from the bye, Chris Carson gets things rolling. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go Seattle with a big victory thirty one to seventeen. Okay,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is a three point favorite on the road
Speaker 1: at Las Vegas. On the road, Vegas is coming off
Speaker 1: a huge victory and against Kansas City. My boy Jeff
Speaker 1: Heath had a pick, So you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go Vegas twenty seven, twenty four. All right, Vegas defending
Speaker 1: the home turf. And my final pick here, Chicago is
Speaker 1: at the La Rams and the Rams are a five
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite against the Bearers. Ah, there's
Speaker 1: no way they're gonna cover the spread. You know what,
Speaker 1: I got Nicky Foles and the Chicago Bears. They get
Speaker 1: this momentum Roll in his defense, is playing great right now.
Speaker 1: I got Nicky Foles and the Bears with a twenty
Speaker 1: one to fourteen victory, actually not twenty one to seventeen
Speaker 1: victory over the Rams. Okay, all right, so Church, I
Speaker 1: will put these in and they'll probably be out tomorrow.

Speaker 1: Cowboys dot com slash unite. All right, Church, you picked
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to win. They are, according to Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: three and a half point favorites over Washington. This game
Speaker 1: will be in Washington. Left tackle Brandon Knight is going
Speaker 1: to miss the game, all right. Brandon Knight had knee surgery.
Speaker 1: He's going to expected to miss some weeks. Cam Irving,
Speaker 1: according to the the head coach Mike McCarthy, was expected to
Speaker 1: practice today, so we're still waiting to hear about that.
Speaker 1: And Greg Senate and practice player Jordan Mills are the
Speaker 1: other tackles on the squad. Sill got more offensive line problems,
Speaker 1: and Zack Martin is still in concussion and protocol. And
Speaker 1: remember it's a short week and you gotta you gotta
Speaker 1: I think you have to practice me he was talking
Speaker 1: about on his show that you gotta practice for I
Speaker 1: think maybe two days and just show some improvement here.
Speaker 1: And we're talking about a Washington defensive line is full
Speaker 1: of first round draft picks. You got that kid, Chase Young,
Speaker 1: their first round pick was taking a second overall, you
Speaker 1: got Ryan Carrigan, who just became the all time sack
Speaker 1: leader in Washington history. Um, yeah, you got the other
Speaker 1: big boy from Alabama, Jonathan Allen. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: just give you the opportunity again as three and a
Speaker 1: half over Washington. What do you want to stay where
Speaker 1: you are before? What you what you want to do?
Speaker 1: Don't let new It, don't let Newly talk you into
Speaker 1: this church, all right, stick with your officsive line. The
Speaker 1: offensive line is not the reason that we've been getting loose,
Speaker 1: that we've been getting blown out and losing these games.
Speaker 1: All right, that is not the reason. But if you
Speaker 1: want to just base it on the officive line, to
Speaker 1: go ahead, you are no stre Domas. I just figured
Speaker 1: I just look my two cents in. Look, they do
Speaker 1: call me no stre Domas for a reason. You know,
Speaker 1: the streets. The streets name me that. You know, I
Speaker 1: didn't just give myself that. That's not just self, of course,
Speaker 1: you know, the streets gave me his name. But I'm
Speaker 1: sticking with it, man, I'm sticking with the boys, even
Speaker 1: though Brandon Knights. How hopefully Zach Martin can get out
Speaker 1: of concussion protocol. What's going on with these injuries? Man?
Speaker 1: This is wow. I don't think we've ever seen an
Speaker 1: injury bug hit like this, it's ridiculous Church Church. I'm okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine, you can stick. But once again, it's say
Speaker 1: three and a half point sprint, so four basically four points.
Speaker 1: You sure you don't want to go ahead and maybe
Speaker 1: say it's a two point game, a real close game here,
Speaker 1: because yeah, you still think in twenty eight seventeen, I
Speaker 1: do not believe in Kyle or Kyle what's his name,
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen. I don't believe in him. Um, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If you know, Alex Smith is a
Speaker 1: great feel good story, but you know, hey, I don't
Speaker 1: believe in him either. And we all know what they
Speaker 1: got in Dwayne Haskin. So for me, I got to
Speaker 1: the boys, man, I gotta stick with them. Okay, you
Speaker 1: gotta win their first roll game of the year. I
Speaker 1: don't know. They got Gibson, they got McLaren, they got
Speaker 1: they got to receive and running back, and those are
Speaker 1: the two things that killed us all seasons. So I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm just a little worried. But my PICKU come Friday,
Speaker 1: go ahead? My bad, no balance, my bad, okay, An,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to give you a little bit of
Speaker 1: help here because because the offensive line is definitely so
Speaker 1: once again, okay, throw out here. Once again, you're talking
Speaker 1: about a strong point for Washington and then you're looking
Speaker 1: at a weak point for Dallas that it is about
Speaker 1: to get weaker. We haven't seen Cam Irving play all year,
Speaker 1: so yeah, maybe Cam does go out there left tackle.
Speaker 1: I thought Mickey brought up a real good point. No
Speaker 1: matter who they put out of left tackle, they better
Speaker 1: roll out. Blake Bell are tight end to go out
Speaker 1: there and help them, because this is going to be
Speaker 1: a challenge. This is going to be a challenge trying
Speaker 1: to face Chase Young and Ryan Carrigan. And we saw
Speaker 1: Andy Don't running for wars life last week against Arizona,
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, nobody in this Arizona d line is
Speaker 1: gonna end up in a name to the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna play the game this year, but they
Speaker 1: are gonna come with the Pro Bowl list. But it's
Speaker 1: it's that kind of it's that kind of thing that's
Speaker 1: going off for the Cowboys right now. But hey, Vegas
Speaker 1: says they're favorite boy three and a half. You got
Speaker 1: confidence in him. That's fine. I just want to make
Speaker 1: sure right through that out there that it's more offensive
Speaker 1: line issues for the Cowboys when it comes to injuries
Speaker 1: and where this team is going to. Andy Dualt certainly
Speaker 1: did not look comfortable against the against Arizona. You got
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio, who's the defensive coordinator for Washington. Of course,
Speaker 1: they're head coach or a Ron rivera long time you know,
Speaker 1: a long time defensive mind who played on the eighty
Speaker 1: five Bears. So I'm thinking they're gonna be sitting in
Speaker 1: the house all game long at the Cowboys. So I
Speaker 1: expect so well, I expect a close game. I expect
Speaker 1: a close football game because you got two two offenses
Speaker 1: that haven't to struggling. But I expect a close, close
Speaker 1: football game. But hey, I got Terry McLaurin, got Terry
Speaker 1: McLaurin this weekend. I put them in the starting like
Speaker 1: them based off what Christian Kirk did for me last week.
Speaker 1: So we'll go ahead and go right there. Now. I
Speaker 1: did talk earlier about Zeke Elliott and then let me
Speaker 1: make sure I understand put in what he had to
Speaker 1: say about the players anonymously calling out coaches. Zeke said, cool,
Speaker 1: we not We need to try to keep that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff in the house. Everyone look in the mirror,
Speaker 1: see what's going on. Fix that will be better. So
Speaker 1: that's from Zekiel Elliott about guys who are unhappy with
Speaker 1: the coaches. I think it's gotta be one of these.
Speaker 1: I think it's gotta be one of the one of
Speaker 1: the premier players that I think dropped this. Dropped this
Speaker 1: tidbit to James Later because look, I mean, like you said,
Speaker 1: you can't see the players or anything like that, so
Speaker 1: this gotta be you know, through a text or through
Speaker 1: some type of communication like that. And to be honest,
Speaker 1: I don't see you know, James Later just hitting up
Speaker 1: you know, my boy c J. Goodwin or something like
Speaker 1: that to get facts about the team. So I think
Speaker 1: it's somebody the premier leaked this out to the media.
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be ugly when you do find out
Speaker 1: who it was. Hold on, don't see. C J is
Speaker 1: one of our premier players, all right, We've said for
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, So don't don't don't downplay
Speaker 1: him like that. CJ is one of my bad players.
Speaker 1: He is top. He's one of the top players on
Speaker 1: the squad. So maybe James Slatter did, but you know,
Speaker 1: us supposed to people. We don't do that type of stuff.
Speaker 1: We keeping in house. So I apologize, j So Church,
Speaker 1: it could be somebody who has a lesser contract and
Speaker 1: a small contract. It gotta be Oh, he gotta, That's
Speaker 1: what I thought. He said. Now listen, he he he
Speaker 1: hasn't been active long enough. Man. He only he only,
Speaker 1: he only has to deal with this for two games.
Speaker 1: The dumpster fire hasn't really sent him on fire year.
Speaker 1: So it's not him. It's not him, all right. You
Speaker 1: think it's somebody on a defense, absolutely, I absolutely think
Speaker 1: it's somebody to be. I think it's somebody. I think
Speaker 1: it's somebody in the second They are literally playing the worst.
Speaker 1: If you think about who looks the most confused out
Speaker 1: there and is making the most mistakes, it is the secondary.
Speaker 1: So when you talking about not being not being prepared,
Speaker 1: I know the dbs look bad, but to me, the
Speaker 1: defensive line looks just as bad. I mean, we we
Speaker 1: saw Kenyan Drake, who had a pedestrian year, come in here,
Speaker 1: roll up one hundred and sixty four yards. There was
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty one yards gained by Arizona. Cleveland
Speaker 1: ran for three or seven. We don't see college teams
Speaker 1: run for three h seven anymore. Man, I mean this
Speaker 1: d is just terrible bold. No, but I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna base off what was said, though, confused they're getting outplayed,
Speaker 1: making more investments. Yeah, you're making more adjustins in the
Speaker 1: back end than you would in the in the front
Speaker 1: end side. Yeah all right, but now now let's let's
Speaker 1: make sure we get distracted that. Who else was complaining
Speaker 1: earlier in the year about you know, ever Griffin talking
Speaker 1: about he wanted to be he didn't like, he didn't
Speaker 1: like playing standing up take lords, talking about how he
Speaker 1: was getting sold with me. You know you got that
Speaker 1: right there too. That's not confusing. It's not confusing you
Speaker 1: standing up at the two point and get into three point.
Speaker 1: It's not confusing on defense or nothing to do it
Speaker 1: confusing or preparation. When you can't pass out man and
Speaker 1: man bus routes, and when you can't play covering three
Speaker 1: and keep your eyes out of the backfielding and decide
Speaker 1: who's supposed to be deep and who supposed to be short,
Speaker 1: those are confusing things on defense when people say they
Speaker 1: unprepared and they're not really teaching the technique, right, whatever,
Speaker 1: Griffin said, you know when you said thirty thirty snacks
Speaker 1: one time, that there's nothing confusing about that, nothing at all.
Speaker 1: Put your hand in the ground and rush the pass
Speaker 1: or stop the run, either one. So let me ask
Speaker 1: wash Let me ask this question here is when you
Speaker 1: get ready to wrap up the show to both of you.
Speaker 1: Gonna start with you, mccraig, do you have faith Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy can squash these issues and write this ship with
Speaker 1: this locker room mccraig, go, hold on, hold on before
Speaker 1: you go, before you go New Year. You're gonna answer
Speaker 1: this question as well. Yes, if you want me too, sure, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: we were. We were liking answer this question. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make it. I'm gonna make it quick. The only
Speaker 1: way that Bike winccard. They can't get this straight is
Speaker 1: if somebody gets fired, and I'm talking about on the
Speaker 1: coaching staff. You have to find out what is going on,
Speaker 1: and you have to be man enough to say, look,
Speaker 1: we made a mistake in X Y Z area and
Speaker 1: we're gonna fire this guy. And I'm letting you I'm
Speaker 1: letting you players know that I'm with you guys, because
Speaker 1: if you side with the coaches over the players that
Speaker 1: you have a very very big issue, and you know
Speaker 1: the coaching. It's not like you're gonna be missing anohing
Speaker 1: if you fire a guy anyway that they're already not
Speaker 1: playing worth nothing, and they're confused and not hustling. So
Speaker 1: fire somebody. I think he can get it back on there.
Speaker 1: Snatched the play calling from Keller Moore, he'll be all right.
Speaker 1: Sounds about right to me. Man. I think he can
Speaker 1: write the ship because I'm picking him to pick Washing
Speaker 1: or beat Washington, so I think they can write the ship.
Speaker 1: Plus this division is down right garbage, so I think
Speaker 1: they can do it. But like mcrais said, he got
Speaker 1: to snatch that play calling sheet. If he's gonna go down,
Speaker 1: go down swinging with your own calls and your own plays,
Speaker 1: and hopefully he can write this ship. Man, But I
Speaker 1: think he. I think he'll be able to. So let
Speaker 1: me let me just throw this out here. When you
Speaker 1: talk about snatching the play sheet, Now, if you snatch
Speaker 1: the play sheet the way you're Mike McCarthy and and
Speaker 1: you don't see any results, and you don't see something better,
Speaker 1: that doesn't make you look good. So do I Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking from a purely selfish standpoint. So if
Speaker 1: I take this play sheet, I'm losing left tackle Brandon Knight,
Speaker 1: who and I'm gonna put out somebody and left tackle
Speaker 1: who hadn't played it all year long. I don't have
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Do I really want to snatch play calling?
Speaker 1: And I've got this, I'm so shorthanded, I'm so sure
Speaker 1: I just go ahead and let Kendell More handle that
Speaker 1: whole thing. No, man, I see what you're just saying.
Speaker 1: You're trying to switch this cambo around that you're not
Speaker 1: gonna go this one man. As the question, do you
Speaker 1: think he can write this ship? No? All right, you
Speaker 1: say so. He can't. He can't get the locker room intact,
Speaker 1: whatever it is now, it's just gonna it's gonna stay
Speaker 1: the same one. It's gonna get worse. He can't get
Speaker 1: this stuff under control. And from your own mouth, if
Speaker 1: you was him, you wouldn't because we look so bad
Speaker 1: right now. You don't want to take any credit for
Speaker 1: how how much worse we could look if you can't
Speaker 1: turn this thing around. First, Okay, if I'm taking the
Speaker 1: play calls, that means I think I can do a
Speaker 1: better job. Can you do a better job with what
Speaker 1: you have. Yes, the carpenter still needs tools. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you can with the way this offensive line
Speaker 1: goes I don't see it as far as it's lots
Speaker 1: of stuff goes on. Let me see. Here's why I
Speaker 1: don't see it getting fixed because clearly Mike Nolan and
Speaker 1: what he's doing, it's not working. Mike Nolan is his guy.
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan hired him as his offensive coordinator when he
Speaker 1: was a head coach of San Franco. So they're sitting
Speaker 1: up here replaying, you know, paying a favorite back. Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones said, I got no problem with Mike. Mike's okay
Speaker 1: with me, And McCarthy is sitting up here saying he's
Speaker 1: good with Nolan as well. So if your players are
Speaker 1: down on this defensive coordinator and you're gonna stand by it,
Speaker 1: that means you're basically telling the players they're all crazy.
Speaker 1: They need to go ahead and figure it out. So
Speaker 1: it's not gonna get fixed in my opinion that I
Speaker 1: find it. Let me tell you, let me let me
Speaker 1: get you just one example. For a while, mccarthur just
Speaker 1: snatched the play sheet and take responsibility for what's going
Speaker 1: on offense. All right, if you watch I think it
Speaker 1: was the Cleveland game when Umari Cooper scored his touchdown
Speaker 1: and Andrew Sendejo should have picked that ball and took
Speaker 1: it back and took it back the other way. We
Speaker 1: are all looking like, man, that could have been a pick.
Speaker 1: If you watched the play that Buddha Baker made and
Speaker 1: he made the interception, it is the exact same play.
Speaker 1: So if you couple that with defenses being able to
Speaker 1: know exactly what you're gonna do and when you're gonna
Speaker 1: do it, and then you're also from the outside looking
Speaker 1: at me, you're not running the ball, you're not featuring
Speaker 1: your top players. They have a serious problem here, and
Speaker 1: I think that Mike McCarthy he can't do any worse.
Speaker 1: And him, as the head coach and the guy that
Speaker 1: you hired to change this thing around, you should have
Speaker 1: to take that responsibility no matter no matter what happens
Speaker 1: with it. That is your job. You are the head coach.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, gentlemen, it's fifteen after that is our
Speaker 1: show tomorrow. Let's dive into some matchups here in this
Speaker 1: Washington and Dallas contest. By the way, in Washington they
Speaker 1: call it Dallas Week, the whole Big Olds Dallas Week.
Speaker 1: Here nobody calls it that, but that just tells you
Speaker 1: how much it means to the folks up there in DC.
Speaker 1: He's Danny mccraig, Barry Church, their former safeties with the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, and NEWI Scrugs, longtime Cowboys reporter. We appreciate
Speaker 1: you taking time to check out the show. Also, we
Speaker 1: really appreciate our master producer, the man who gets it
Speaker 1: all done for us. Crisping. That is a players lunge
Speaker 1: about you by Hotels dot Com. We'll talk to you
Speaker 1: tomorrow right here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. This
Speaker 1: has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
