0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the Players

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Lounge broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star.

<v Speaker 1>Berry Church, former Dallas Cowboys safety at me, Louis Scrugs,

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>former Dallas, not former anything, just a long time Cowboys

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>boarding former. Yeah. I trying to fire myself. Yeah, and

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm still trying to hang it here and do this thing.

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>All right, Fellas, you guys are players, so you give

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>me your opinions on this right away. Slayter NFL Network

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 1>comes out with a report. It says players are not

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>happy with the coaching staff, saying to un prepare Sam,

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>they don't know what they're doing. Mike McCarthy came out

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>with a quote in the afternoon says it's important for

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>us to have those conversations as men, one on one,

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>as a group. He went further than that, but that

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>was the biggest bulk of what he said. So mccraig,

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 1>you start your thoughts on this, I think that they're

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>losing it. You know, we all we already knew this

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>about the about the coaching staff, and and I won't

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>even I'll take it the farthest to say that. I

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>think that some of the players have spoken up about

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>this already to some of the coaches, and they just

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 1>probably fell on deaf ears. And now they just went

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>on ahead and said, all right, you know, forget it,

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>since since the ship is going down, I'm gonna let

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>him know. It ain't just the players. It's some of

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that we learned, and these guys don't know

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>what the heck they're talking about. So you know, if

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going down, I'm taking them down with me. That

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>that's where I think of that. I think it was.

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it was. It was it's a little cowardly

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>just to not put your name on it if you're

0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna say something like that, because there's a lot of

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>men in a locker room, and then when you don't

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>put your name on it, everybody has to kind of

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>like play detective and figure out who it was. So

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that sucked about it. But we knew this

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>stuff was coming. You know, it's early in the season

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>and they played horrible, so it'll be a lot more

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:17.519
<v Speaker 1>of this stuff coming out later. Yeah, McCray, I mean, look, man,

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the hinges are coming off. Man, the ship is going down,

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>you know what it is hitting the fan right now.

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, we knew this was gonna come around

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>when they started having those player only meetings, the meetings

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.959
<v Speaker 1>that never resolve anything. Man, Me and Danny been a

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>part of plenty of those. They don't resolve nothing. All

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.359
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get is arguments, and then then you'll get

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>to this point where it's like, now it's got to

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>be the coach's fault. It can't be our fault. So

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>we knew this was coming all along. And I gotta

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>agree with Danny and McCarthy on this one. If you're

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna say something like that, if you're gonna put that

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>out there, you gotta attach your name to it. I mean,

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>you can't be scared and say, oh wait, wait, make

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.519
<v Speaker 1>sure this is anonymous. Hey, this is off the record,

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>right and now, if you're gonna say something that big,

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>just attach your name to it. It does seem kind

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 1>of cowardly, but for me, we knew this was coming.

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>They're falling off the hinges. And if it were one

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>of these players, you know that had already went to

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the coaches and they didn't and it fell on death years,

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>then then then dinner in a lot more trouble than

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought. Because if they're going to these coaches and

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>these coaches are just like I, you know, go somewhere

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>with all that I don't want to hear any of this,

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>then they're in a lot more a lot more damage

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>than that we anticipated. But for me, it was kind

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of cowardly to not put your name on there. But

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>it's something that I guess needed to be said. I mean,

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.119
<v Speaker 1>we see these players, they've been they've been saying early,

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>little little chips here and there, early in the in

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the season about how the play call and it's difficult

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>or the playbook is difficult, and now it progressed to

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>a player's only meeting and now just progressed fully to

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>just going to the media and just throwing all the

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>coaches under the bus. So for me, like I said,

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>it was a little bit cowardly, but if you got

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to do it to perform better, you gotta do what

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>you gotta do. Listen and I think it's funny how

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>this started. Right. This started off so great, man, this

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>is this defense is better, the communication between the coaches

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>and the players, everything is so much better than it

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>was before. Blah bla blah blah blah. And we six

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>weeks in and all of a sudden, none of that

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>stuff is none of that stuff is actarly like everything

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>is wrong six weeks after that, like it started off with, Man,

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.839
<v Speaker 1>this defense is this is gonna be disguising and blah

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>blah blah and all this. And you know, I like

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the way McCarthy and this Office of Stats open up

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and we we got open communications. So

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 1>everybody's on the same page and they are the exact

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>opposite of that. I've never seen something so opposite from

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.799
<v Speaker 1>what you say then what you put on the field,

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and then now it's the coach's fault. So players, you

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>got you got some of this too, because because you

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you were hyping this up and you was on the

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>kool aid you at the beginning of the season as well.

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>And look, if i'm McCarthy, man, I'm taking these reins

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 1>for play calling. Man, like I'm not. I'm not going

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>down without swinging like yeah, y'all, I ain't even to

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.599
<v Speaker 1>just bury me under the bus. And I haven't even

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.280
<v Speaker 1>had a chance to go out there and show y'all

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>what I can do. So for me, if i'm McCarthy,

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm snatching that playbook. I'm saying, look, Kelly, you just

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>weren't performing to what you were doing. You can you

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>can still be here. I ain't gonna throw you out

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>like that. But as far as your play calling duties, man,

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that's a rap. You're basically gonna be conformed

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>to a quarterback coach. Because if I'm going down like this,

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>like the way this ship is going down, I gotta

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>be swinging. I gotta be throwing my own plays out there.

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>So mccarthur, you better take that script, my boy. So mccraig,

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>your initial comments, it just made me go right to

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the court scene when Nino Brown is on the stand

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>in New Jack City and he jumps up and he says,

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking a whole lot of people with me. I

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>gotta listen to name. It just feels his boat. You

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>have players should say, man, look before I get before

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I had to take a pay cut for this, And

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.280
<v Speaker 1>he said, well, my production is down. I'm gonna go

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>ahead and tell you these guys aren't ready. These guys

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>aren't preparing you no good. I mean it is just

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean the house is burning, man and and and

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>while so, so you know your guys, you guys used

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>to play with when your former teammate Sean Lee came

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>out to that. So Sean Lee spoke and Sean Lee

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>said that, you know it's anonymous, nobody put their name

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>on it. It's cowardice. And he said that you know,

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 1>these guys had to stick together. He said, there's no

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 1>finger pointing going going on. That was from Sean Lee

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Elliot and that's a bad I might be one of

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the go ahead, go ahead, the back ahead, listen, listen

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>before you get to what Zeke said, because because that's

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>more relevant than this. This is this is a problem

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>that I see here. Why are they asking and hearing

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>from somebody who has not played the entire season, is

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>not on the field. It does not make any sense

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.919
<v Speaker 1>that this is the guy that you're leaning on to

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>say this. You know we're sticking together. You ain't even

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>played all year. This is from this stuff should be

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 1>coming from Jalen. These are the only people that that

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 1>we really should be hearing from on issues like this

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 1>because Sean Lee ain't on the field. He hasn't been

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>in there running none of these plays. He hasn't been

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the fire yet you know, no offense

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>to him. He just has not been healthy enough to

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>get out there. So him speaking on it to me

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>is irrelevant. Now when you when you move on to Zeke,

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 1>that makes more sense to me. But the fact that

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the defense and the player, it's a leaning on somebody

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>who hasn't even been on the field yet, it doesn't

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>make sense. And that's a huge issue. What does Zeke saying? Okay, well,

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>actually actually let me let let me if I get

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>to Zeke, let me just read you the whole Sean

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Lee comment. Okay, Sean Lee says, quote, first thing I

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>think with anonymous sources, you you never really can take

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>them serious. First, they don't put their name on it. Second,

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't know if the person is in the room

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>or not in the room. Maybe they were, maybe they

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>are not. Now sometimes you don't know if it's through

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>a secondhand source, maybe it's a player, maybe the players,

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 1>or maybe it's coming from the player's anation. You just

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>can't speculate, so you have to just say listen, the

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>consensus in our locker room with our defense right now

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>is that we all need to work hard, we all

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>need to improve. There's no pointing fingers. The only way

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>out of this is to keep faith in each other,

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and we have that faith. So, like I said, anything anonymous,

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to worry about that. Somebody won't put

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>their name on it so big, but we know the group,

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>we're sticking together. We know we need to improve, and

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>we're going to continue to stick together and do that.

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 1>That's from sean we we we we we we ain't

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>that something that sounds like listen, if somebody slapped me,

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not giving them no excuse. All right, listen, you

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>slapped me now. I don't know why he slapped me.

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who told him to. If he did

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>it on his own accord, none of that. Bro. Somebody

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 1>said something we know James Slay or nothing. No, she's

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>not no idiot. Somebody in there, one of the players

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.559
<v Speaker 1>said this, and it goes and it ties into everything

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>that everybody is seeing outside looking in. So this all fits,

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>it all comes together. So this is no you know

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody agent saying it, or somebody outside the room saying this.

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Ain't that. Somebody in the locker room said that he

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.840
<v Speaker 1>knows it and he ain't playing. So they need to

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>go in there and figure out who it was and

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 1>let them know this ain't how we do stuff. Find

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>you a leader on the team and let them address that.

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's saying all the right things, though he's

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>saying basically a little somebody did say this because he

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>said that. You know, look whoever did say it, it

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>was anonymous, and you know it was cowardice for them

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>not to put their name behind it. So look, I

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>mean he's saying all the right stuff. He's saying they

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>need to stick together. There can't be any pointing fingers,

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.960
<v Speaker 1>which I know poor a fact is is just a

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.440
<v Speaker 1>lot talk about there's no point, but there's definitely pointing

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>going on. You can see it on the field when

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>people are looking like, man, what is this guy? You're

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.559
<v Speaker 1>supposed to have my help? So you if they're pointing

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.319
<v Speaker 1>on the field, you know they're pointing in the locker room.

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.079
<v Speaker 1>But I'll give Sewan this man, he is up on

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 1>the fane leader and you know, once he gets back

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>on the field. You know, he'll probably have more you know,

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>credit to to his words out here saying what he's saying,

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:33.559
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully he can get on this field and help

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 1>this team. But for me, I mean, he's saying all

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>the right stuff, but until we see it on the field, man,

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 1>it's just gonna go on death ears. Absolutely, they need

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.319
<v Speaker 1>him on the field. They need a leader. He's their leader.

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>The only thing that's difficult about that is you're not

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>on the field at the time, so and we've been

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of room with that, you know, with

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, like hey man, you're just not you're

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>not out here to see what's really going on, like

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you seeing it from the sideline. You hearing people complain

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>about it. You've got a different perspective than what we

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 1>have when we on the field. And what makes this

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.559
<v Speaker 1>worse is it's a double winding. Your coaches are apparently

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>are not good and your players aren't playing hard like,

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>so it's both in them. So they can point all

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the fingers that they want to. They have something in

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>this as well, and all of it ain't coaching. So

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>this is just a dumpster fire right now. All right, Yeah, understand,

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So you know Sean Lee reference. If it's one person,

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Mike McCarthy talked about one person, it's James Slater. Did

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:29.839
<v Speaker 1>not quote one player. She quoted several. Okay, so it's

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.199
<v Speaker 1>at least two. At least two. I know this because

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I talked to her. So it's not just one person

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that came forward and said, hey, this is a problem.

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 1>There's several players who have problems right now. So it's

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>not just one guy. It's a few dudes in the

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>locker room that have issues with this coaching staff right now. Now.

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you, Okay, go ahead, Dan, I said,

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 1>you listen. The truth is, we can say whatever we

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>want to. You can't not have a problem at this

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>point in the season. So it's just I think it's

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>crazy with somebody they say that, you know, we don't

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 1>know who it is or it's not a play. All

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>of them should have a problem, and somebody says something

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>they just didn't put their name on. I just want

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to put that there. I know I wouldn't in the

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 1>locker room listening, but I'm willing to bet my house

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 1>that it's somebody that's currently in the locker room that

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 1>said this. Some people, a group of people, and I

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 1>guarantee you, and I guarantee you. The reason they ain't

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>put their name behind it is because they probably wanted

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 1>to cats out there playing just as bad, talking about

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>they can't they can't coach nothing. Man if I had

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 1>a good coach, i'd be more productive. No, no, man,

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.319
<v Speaker 1>it ain't. If I had to get all that, I

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>tell that right now. If I had to guess, it's

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the secondary because they all played the worst, never saying

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the second. If if it's I hope it ain't Daryll Warley,

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you right now. I hope it's not him,

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 1>because look, I looked at that play one more tack

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.679
<v Speaker 1>because it would just made me so like mad just

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>looking at it. And they're in cover three. Why are

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.559
<v Speaker 1>you two yards in front of the guy who's the

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>hook curled defender and the guy that's catching the balls

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a smooth ten in front of you. It just blows

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>my mind. He's like a seven year vet. So I mean, no,

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 1>don't get me started on Daryl Worley and it's Terry Poe.

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.200
<v Speaker 1>This will happened when you don't put your name on that.

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.960
<v Speaker 1>That's why this is why I'm so cowardly to do

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>it because everybody on the outside has to go and

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 1>try to guess and figure it out. And maybe it's

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 1>this person, baby as that person. So you as a

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>teammate have put your your team, your other teammates in

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>a position to where some people can't even trust if

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>it's them or not. Like you look looking at people

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 1>sideways like, I don't know if he said we know

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 1>he played like trash, yes, Solay, so maybe it was him.

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 1>We heard him getting the argument was so and so,

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.560
<v Speaker 1>like you just don't know, and that's what makes it

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.559
<v Speaker 1>such a big issue within the locker room because you

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>just have no idea who it is, so you don't

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 1>know who you can trust in there. And then now

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>when you're going on the field, if you're going on

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the field, somebody messes up and makes a bad play

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.679
<v Speaker 1>and you see him all frustrated it. Oh, he was

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>probably the one that did it. Was pointing at the fingers.

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's a slippery slope you're going down right now.

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Sean Lee did say that Mike McCarthy spoke to the

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>team and then he told the team if anybody has

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 1>some concern something they want to talk about, to come

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 1>see him. So Mike McCarthy did address it with his football.

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 1>That's what That's what I'm talking about. Many saying with

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>your chest, tell them boys, hey look man, if y'all

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 1>got a problem with me saying with your chest, man,

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and I assume nobody said nothing. No, everybody just went

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 1>quiet and start looking down like Man, I didn't say that.

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say it. Man, Yeah, that ain't that was

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.200
<v Speaker 1>That was kind of coward, me, Man, that was coward.

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Now I did a little cold around, got a little

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 1>got some got some folks get back to me a

0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit here. And I heard that they are trying

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.199
<v Speaker 1>to find out who is it? Who are the people? No,

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 1>that is, they're trying to smoke out who who in

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the heck gave so so now some worry. There's a

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 1>worry around the Star. I don't know if mister Jones

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 1>is out here trying to get it, but they're trying

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.839
<v Speaker 1>to find out who is it? Who is it? The

0:13:56.000 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>way to say, we ain't worried about so now we

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>ain't worried about the Washington football team this week coming up.

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 1>We're worried about who's snitches. See we all over the place. Now, Man,

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 1>if we go out there and lois against Washington. We

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>ain't got to worry about who's snitching. The whole team

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 1>about to get blown up. So y'all but focus on

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 1>if you're smart and you in that locker room, you

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>will stay the hicc away from James Slayer. You wouldn't

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 1>even make it look like you got any type of

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 1>relationship with her, and you don't want nobody to know

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>it with you because anybody that she talked to is

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>now a suspect. Well but here and now here's the

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 1>thing on that, Danny. Remember you can't get near the player,

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 1>so there's no locker room access, so nobody's seen somebody's

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 1>reaching out your reporters, right, So so this can be

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>done right now. I mean you you know you're not

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna see anybody talking quote unquote talking to Jane. I mean,

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>this is right now, is just done electronically. You said,

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 1>a text to the phone calling, So so you know

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>that's why I said, they're trying to smoke out who

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>it is. And there's some folks around the worry. But

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 1>how do you do don't that's why you don't give

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>your personal info out to reporters who come to the

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 1>locker rooms. I mean when they they they want to

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 1>hit you up for one thing, they want to hit

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>you up for a story. I mean that that's that's it.

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 1>And when you give your personal info out, that's how

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>stuff gets leaked. Man. You never get your info out

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to the medium. Man. Well, m well, Church, you knew

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:11.840

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:17.120
<v Speaker 1>coming off that loss at Tampa, Bay is traveling to Houston,

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 1>and the Packers are a three and a half point

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:28.119
<v Speaker 1>favorite going to Houstons hot. Houston looked I mean offensively,

0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:32.400
<v Speaker 1>they look pretty decent. I'm going Houston with the upset

0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>thirty five twenty eight. All right, Kansas City is at Denver,

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and Kansas City's favored by nine and a half points.

0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.560
<v Speaker 1>What you got? Oh this is easy? I mean and

0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Drew Luckingham boys out there. They ain't they ain't doing

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:55.280
<v Speaker 1>nothing offensively. Um, you know they're Their defense over there

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:57.520
<v Speaker 1>is decent and over in Denver, but they can't do

0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:00.359
<v Speaker 1>nothing with my homes and company. So it's actually if

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:02.680
<v Speaker 1>they got that ground game going. So I'm going Chiefs

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty one, Denver seventeen low cast a lot of points

0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 1>on the road up there in my high Jacksonville okay,

0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:23.240
<v Speaker 1>oh oh, Jacksonville's in Los Angeles and the Chargers are

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>favored by eight points. Oh the Chune Okay, Well, I

0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 1>did get Justin Herbert in fantasy, so I'm gonna needed

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 1>him to have a big day. Jacksonville's defense hasn't been

0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the same since seventeen, So for me, I'm gonna go

0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Chargers twenty four Jacksonville fourteen. Soon Jacksonville about to start,

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 1>They're about to start taking they get Lawrence in a second.

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:54.680
<v Speaker 1>They might end the season three and thirteen. I don't

0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 1>know if that'll be enough, but you know, I've never

0:22:57.080 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll never skip an opportunity to throw a jab at

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the Jacksonville Jack. I's gonna throw that. I'm just gonna

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 1>throw that out there. New England took a loss to

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Denver last week, So now New England is a two

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and a half point favorite, two and a half point

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:17.160
<v Speaker 1>favorite against the San Francisco forty nine ers. What you got, see,

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.679
<v Speaker 1>This one's tough, man, This one's tough because, I mean,

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Cam Newton just got back from COVID and you know

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:24.159
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, they were going through going through some

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:28.680
<v Speaker 1>things over in Denver. Oh, this one's tough, man, This

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:31.920
<v Speaker 1>one's tough. But I'm gonna give it to I'm gonna

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 1>give it to New England. I'm gonna give it to

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 1>New England. And they covered the spread twenty one seventeen.

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:44.480
<v Speaker 1>All Right, the Carolina Panthers, who were playing good football.

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're discipline, they get out there, they fight hard.

0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:49.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, first year head coach Matt Rules got this

0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:52.879
<v Speaker 1>team playing decent. But they're New Orleans in there, a

<v Speaker 1>You said the spread was only four, right, No, the

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>spread seven and a half. Man, oh, the spread seven

0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and a half. So they won't cover the spread. But

0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:18.040
<v Speaker 1>mister slant and New Orleans slants they'll they'll get it together.

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:24.440
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna give him twenty four twenty one Saints. Okay,

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh is a two point favorite at Tennessee. M this one,

0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 1>this one's gonna be tough. I mean, you got two

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:35.119
<v Speaker 1>offenses that are clicking right now. I haven't seen a

0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:38.399
<v Speaker 1>team yet fully stopped Derrick Henry, but this you know,

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 1>this Pittsburgh team, they play defense and they take the

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:44.440
<v Speaker 1>ball away. Chase Claypool's been showing up. You know what,

0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna go. It's at Tennessee. Yes, sir,

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go ahead and go Tennessee twenty four twenty one.

0:24:57.960 --> 0:25:02.879
<v Speaker 1>All right, so you're going Tennessee See protectives whole turf,

0:25:03.280 --> 0:25:10.919
<v Speaker 1>all right? Right here? See, you got three more to

0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>pick here, three more to picks up. Seattle is four.

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Seattle is a four point favorite at Arizona. Man after

0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:24.600
<v Speaker 1>what I saw from Cala Murray when he came down

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:29.240
<v Speaker 1>to Jerry World, I don't see Seattle stopping anything with

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:31.480
<v Speaker 1>this guy, and there's no one in the open field

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.119
<v Speaker 1>that can hang with him. But he was a little

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:37.159
<v Speaker 1>aread as far as his passes were going early in

0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the first half. So for me, I'm gonna go Seattle

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and Russell Wilson pools this one out. They come back

0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:45.720
<v Speaker 1>from the bye, Chris Carson gets things rolling. I'm gonna

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:55.719
<v Speaker 1>go Seattle with a big victory thirty one to seventeen. Okay,

0:25:57.160 --> 0:26:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay is a three point favorite on the road

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 1>at Las Vegas. On the road, Vegas is coming off

0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a huge victory and against Kansas City. My boy Jeff

0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Heath had a pick, So you know what, I'm gonna

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:22.920
<v Speaker 1>go Vegas twenty seven, twenty four. All right, Vegas defending

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:28.159
<v Speaker 1>the home turf. And my final pick here, Chicago is

0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:31.639
<v Speaker 1>at the La Rams and the Rams are a five

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and a half point favorite against the Bearers. Ah, there's

0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 1>no way they're gonna cover the spread. You know what,

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I got Nicky Foles and the Chicago Bears. They get

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 1>this momentum Roll in his defense, is playing great right now.

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I got Nicky Foles and the Bears with a twenty

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:55.159
<v Speaker 1>one to fourteen victory, actually not twenty one to seventeen

0:26:55.280 --> 0:27:02.639
<v Speaker 1>victory over the Rams. Okay, all right, so Church, I

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:06.000
<v Speaker 1>will put these in and they'll probably be out tomorrow.

0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:08.679
<v Speaker 1>They'll probably be out tomorrow or even later tonight, so

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:12.000
<v Speaker 1>they're in the Dallas Morning News, and all the picks

0:27:12.040 --> 0:27:14.920

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:23.959
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys to win. They are, according to Las Vegas,

0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:27.080
<v Speaker 1>three and a half point favorites over Washington. This game

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 1>will be in Washington. Left tackle Brandon Knight is going

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:33.959
<v Speaker 1>to miss the game, all right. Brandon Knight had knee surgery.

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>He's going to expected to miss some weeks. Cam Irving,

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 1>according to the the head coach Mike McCarthy, was expected to

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:44.360
<v Speaker 1>practice today, so we're still waiting to hear about that.

0:31:44.880 --> 0:31:48.440
<v Speaker 1>And Greg Senate and practice player Jordan Mills are the

0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 1>other tackles on the squad. Sill got more offensive line problems,

0:31:55.200 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and Zack Martin is still in concussion and protocol. And

0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 1>remember it's a short week and you gotta you gotta

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I think you have to practice me he was talking

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 1>about on his show that you gotta practice for I

0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 1>think maybe two days and just show some improvement here.

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:12.320
<v Speaker 1>And we're talking about a Washington defensive line is full

0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:14.720
<v Speaker 1>of first round draft picks. You got that kid, Chase Young,

0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:17.640
<v Speaker 1>their first round pick was taking a second overall, you

0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 1>got Ryan Carrigan, who just became the all time sack

0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:23.560
<v Speaker 1>leader in Washington history. Um, yeah, you got the other

0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:26.600
<v Speaker 1>big boy from Alabama, Jonathan Allen. So I'm going to

0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 1>just give you the opportunity again as three and a

0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:35.400
<v Speaker 1>half over Washington. What do you want to stay where

0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you are before? What you what you want to do?

0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Don't let new It, don't let Newly talk you into

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:42.680
<v Speaker 1>this church, all right, stick with your officsive line. The

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>offensive line is not the reason that we've been getting loose,

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that we've been getting blown out and losing these games.

0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:50.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, that is not the reason. But if you

0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:51.720
<v Speaker 1>want to just base it on the officive line, to

0:32:51.760 --> 0:32:53.800
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, you are no stre Domas. I just figured

0:32:53.840 --> 0:32:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I just look my two cents in. Look, they do

0:32:56.320 --> 0:32:58.800
<v Speaker 1>call me no stre Domas for a reason. You know,

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the streets. The streets name me that. You know, I

0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:02.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't just give myself that. That's not just self, of course,

0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, the streets gave me his name. But I'm

0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 1>sticking with it, man, I'm sticking with the boys, even

0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:13.440
<v Speaker 1>though Brandon Knights. How hopefully Zach Martin can get out

0:33:13.440 --> 0:33:17.160
<v Speaker 1>of concussion protocol. What's going on with these injuries? Man?

0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:20.479
<v Speaker 1>This is wow. I don't think we've ever seen an

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:25.800
<v Speaker 1>injury bug hit like this, it's ridiculous Church Church. I'm okay,

0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:29.440
<v Speaker 1>that's fine, you can stick. But once again, it's say

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:33.440
<v Speaker 1>three and a half point sprint, so four basically four points.

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:36.720
<v Speaker 1>You sure you don't want to go ahead and maybe

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 1>say it's a two point game, a real close game here,

0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:43.840
<v Speaker 1>because yeah, you still think in twenty eight seventeen, I

0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:46.280
<v Speaker 1>do not believe in Kyle or Kyle what's his name,

0:33:46.320 --> 0:33:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Allen. I don't believe in him. Um, you know

0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. If you know, Alex Smith is a

0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:55.320
<v Speaker 1>great feel good story, but you know, hey, I don't

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 1>believe in him either. And we all know what they

0:33:57.600 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 1>got in Dwayne Haskin. So for me, I got to

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the boys, man, I gotta stick with them. Okay, you

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:05.680
<v Speaker 1>gotta win their first roll game of the year. I

0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:08.359
<v Speaker 1>don't know. They got Gibson, they got McLaren, they got

0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:10.200
<v Speaker 1>they got to receive and running back, and those are

0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the two things that killed us all seasons. So I'm

0:34:12.520 --> 0:34:14.920
<v Speaker 1>just I'm just a little worried. But my PICKU come Friday,

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:20.240
<v Speaker 1>go ahead? My bad, no balance, my bad, okay, An,

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to give you a little bit of

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:27.799
<v Speaker 1>help here because because the offensive line is definitely so

0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:30.160
<v Speaker 1>once again, okay, throw out here. Once again, you're talking

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:36.279
<v Speaker 1>about a strong point for Washington and then you're looking

0:34:36.320 --> 0:34:39.600
<v Speaker 1>at a weak point for Dallas that it is about

0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:42.319
<v Speaker 1>to get weaker. We haven't seen Cam Irving play all year,

0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:44.360
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, maybe Cam does go out there left tackle.

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:46.279
<v Speaker 1>I thought Mickey brought up a real good point. No

0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:48.680
<v Speaker 1>matter who they put out of left tackle, they better

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 1>roll out. Blake Bell are tight end to go out

0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:53.120
<v Speaker 1>there and help them, because this is going to be

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:56.080
<v Speaker 1>a challenge. This is going to be a challenge trying

0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:58.919
<v Speaker 1>to face Chase Young and Ryan Carrigan. And we saw

0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Andy Don't running for wars life last week against Arizona,

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sorry, nobody in this Arizona d line is

0:35:06.120 --> 0:35:07.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna end up in a name to the Pro Bowl.

0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 1>They're not gonna play the game this year, but they

0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:11.440
<v Speaker 1>are gonna come with the Pro Bowl list. But it's

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:13.560
<v Speaker 1>it's that kind of it's that kind of thing that's

0:35:13.560 --> 0:35:15.520
<v Speaker 1>going off for the Cowboys right now. But hey, Vegas

0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 1>says they're favorite boy three and a half. You got

0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:19.120
<v Speaker 1>confidence in him. That's fine. I just want to make

0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:22.239
<v Speaker 1>sure right through that out there that it's more offensive

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 1>line issues for the Cowboys when it comes to injuries

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and where this team is going to. Andy Dualt certainly

0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:32.040
<v Speaker 1>did not look comfortable against the against Arizona. You got

0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Jack del Rio, who's the defensive coordinator for Washington. Of course,

0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:39.360
<v Speaker 1>they're head coach or a Ron rivera long time you know,

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:43.520
<v Speaker 1>a long time defensive mind who played on the eighty

0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:46.480
<v Speaker 1>five Bears. So I'm thinking they're gonna be sitting in

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the house all game long at the Cowboys. So I

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:52.560
<v Speaker 1>expect so well, I expect a close game. I expect

0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a close football game because you got two two offenses

0:35:55.680 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 1>that haven't to struggling. But I expect a close, close

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.160
<v Speaker 1>football game. But hey, I got Terry McLaurin, got Terry

0:36:00.200 --> 0:36:01.840
<v Speaker 1>McLaurin this weekend. I put them in the starting like

0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:04.560
<v Speaker 1>them based off what Christian Kirk did for me last week.

0:36:04.719 --> 0:36:09.040
<v Speaker 1>So we'll go ahead and go right there. Now. I

0:36:09.080 --> 0:36:11.320
<v Speaker 1>did talk earlier about Zeke Elliott and then let me

0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:14.080
<v Speaker 1>make sure I understand put in what he had to

0:36:14.120 --> 0:36:19.200
<v Speaker 1>say about the players anonymously calling out coaches. Zeke said, cool,

0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 1>we not We need to try to keep that kind

0:36:22.000 --> 0:36:24.880
<v Speaker 1>of stuff in the house. Everyone look in the mirror,

0:36:24.960 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 1>see what's going on. Fix that will be better. So

0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that's from Zekiel Elliott about guys who are unhappy with

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the coaches. I think it's gotta be one of these.

0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gotta be one of the one of

0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the premier players that I think dropped this. Dropped this

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:44.120
<v Speaker 1>tidbit to James Later because look, I mean, like you said,

0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you can't see the players or anything like that, so

0:36:46.120 --> 0:36:48.680
<v Speaker 1>this gotta be you know, through a text or through

0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 1>some type of communication like that. And to be honest,

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't see you know, James Later just hitting up

0:36:54.040 --> 0:36:55.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, my boy c J. Goodwin or something like

0:36:55.840 --> 0:36:58.439
<v Speaker 1>that to get facts about the team. So I think

0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 1>it's somebody the premier leaked this out to the media.

0:37:02.160 --> 0:37:05.399
<v Speaker 1>But it's gonna be ugly when you do find out

0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:08.520
<v Speaker 1>who it was. Hold on, don't see. C J is

0:37:08.520 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 1>one of our premier players, all right, We've said for

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of weeks, So don't don't don't downplay

0:37:13.680 --> 0:37:16.000
<v Speaker 1>him like that. CJ is one of my bad players.

0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:18.960
<v Speaker 1>He is top. He's one of the top players on

0:37:19.200 --> 0:37:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the squad. So maybe James Slatter did, but you know,

0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:23.080
<v Speaker 1>us supposed to people. We don't do that type of stuff.

0:37:23.120 --> 0:37:28.279
<v Speaker 1>We keeping in house. So I apologize, j So Church,

0:37:28.280 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 1>it could be somebody who has a lesser contract and

0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 1>a small contract. It gotta be Oh, he gotta, That's

0:37:40.480 --> 0:37:44.239
<v Speaker 1>what I thought. He said. Now listen, he he he

0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:46.439
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been active long enough. Man. He only he only,

0:37:46.480 --> 0:37:48.560
<v Speaker 1>he only has to deal with this for two games.

0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:50.719
<v Speaker 1>The dumpster fire hasn't really sent him on fire year.

0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:54.759
<v Speaker 1>So it's not him. It's not him, all right. You

0:37:54.760 --> 0:37:59.200
<v Speaker 1>think it's somebody on a defense, absolutely, I absolutely think

0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:01.200
<v Speaker 1>it's somebody to be. I think it's somebody. I think

0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:03.960
<v Speaker 1>it's somebody in the second They are literally playing the worst.

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:06.399
<v Speaker 1>If you think about who looks the most confused out

0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:09.160
<v Speaker 1>there and is making the most mistakes, it is the secondary.

0:38:09.280 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 1>So when you talking about not being not being prepared,

0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I know the dbs look bad, but to me, the

0:38:16.960 --> 0:38:19.719
<v Speaker 1>defensive line looks just as bad. I mean, we we

0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:23.399
<v Speaker 1>saw Kenyan Drake, who had a pedestrian year, come in here,

0:38:23.520 --> 0:38:25.920
<v Speaker 1>roll up one hundred and sixty four yards. There was

0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:29.680
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and sixty one yards gained by Arizona. Cleveland

0:38:29.760 --> 0:38:32.160
<v Speaker 1>ran for three or seven. We don't see college teams

0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:34.759
<v Speaker 1>run for three h seven anymore. Man, I mean this

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:39.000
<v Speaker 1>d is just terrible bold. No, but I'm gonna I'm

0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:47.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna base off what was said, though, confused they're getting outplayed,

0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:50.040
<v Speaker 1>making more investments. Yeah, you're making more adjustins in the

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:52.399
<v Speaker 1>back end than you would in the in the front

0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:56.120
<v Speaker 1>end side. Yeah all right, but now now let's let's

0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:58.080
<v Speaker 1>make sure we get distracted that. Who else was complaining

0:38:58.160 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the year about you know, ever Griffin talking

0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:02.319
<v Speaker 1>about he wanted to be he didn't like, he didn't

0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:04.560
<v Speaker 1>like playing standing up take lords, talking about how he

0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:05.920
<v Speaker 1>was getting sold with me. You know you got that

0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 1>right there too. That's not confusing. It's not confusing you

0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:13.520
<v Speaker 1>standing up at the two point and get into three point.

0:39:13.600 --> 0:39:16.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not confusing on defense or nothing to do it

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:19.960
<v Speaker 1>confusing or preparation. When you can't pass out man and

0:39:20.040 --> 0:39:22.640
<v Speaker 1>man bus routes, and when you can't play covering three

0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:24.240
<v Speaker 1>and keep your eyes out of the backfielding and decide

0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:26.080
<v Speaker 1>who's supposed to be deep and who supposed to be short,

0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:28.759
<v Speaker 1>those are confusing things on defense when people say they

0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:31.840
<v Speaker 1>unprepared and they're not really teaching the technique, right, whatever,

0:39:32.080 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Griffin said, you know when you said thirty thirty snacks

0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 1>one time, that there's nothing confusing about that, nothing at all.

0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Put your hand in the ground and rush the pass

0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:44.319
<v Speaker 1>or stop the run, either one. So let me ask

0:39:44.640 --> 0:39:47.800
<v Speaker 1>wash Let me ask this question here is when you

0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:49.880
<v Speaker 1>get ready to wrap up the show to both of you.

0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Gonna start with you, mccraig, do you have faith Mike

0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:58.279
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy can squash these issues and write this ship with

0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:01.839
<v Speaker 1>this locker room mccraig, go, hold on, hold on before

0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:03.799
<v Speaker 1>you go, before you go New Year. You're gonna answer

0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:10.120
<v Speaker 1>this question as well. Yes, if you want me too, sure, Yes, yes,

0:40:10.200 --> 0:40:11.920
<v Speaker 1>we were. We were liking answer this question. So I'm

0:40:11.920 --> 0:40:13.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna make it. I'm gonna make it quick. The only

0:40:13.960 --> 0:40:17.319
<v Speaker 1>way that Bike winccard. They can't get this straight is

0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:21.480
<v Speaker 1>if somebody gets fired, and I'm talking about on the

0:40:21.480 --> 0:40:24.440
<v Speaker 1>coaching staff. You have to find out what is going on,

0:40:24.480 --> 0:40:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and you have to be man enough to say, look,

0:40:26.480 --> 0:40:28.799
<v Speaker 1>we made a mistake in X Y Z area and

0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:30.560
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna fire this guy. And I'm letting you I'm

0:40:30.600 --> 0:40:32.800
<v Speaker 1>letting you players know that I'm with you guys, because

0:40:32.960 --> 0:40:35.360
<v Speaker 1>if you side with the coaches over the players that

0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you have a very very big issue, and you know

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the coaching. It's not like you're gonna be missing anohing

0:40:40.000 --> 0:40:41.960
<v Speaker 1>if you fire a guy anyway that they're already not

0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:44.560
<v Speaker 1>playing worth nothing, and they're confused and not hustling. So

0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:46.799
<v Speaker 1>fire somebody. I think he can get it back on there.

0:40:47.040 --> 0:40:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Snatched the play calling from Keller Moore, he'll be all right.

0:40:51.719 --> 0:40:53.839
<v Speaker 1>Sounds about right to me. Man. I think he can

0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:55.880
<v Speaker 1>write the ship because I'm picking him to pick Washing

0:40:56.000 --> 0:40:58.120
<v Speaker 1>or beat Washington, so I think they can write the ship.

0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Plus this division is down right garbage, so I think

0:41:02.160 --> 0:41:04.120
<v Speaker 1>they can do it. But like mcrais said, he got

0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:06.359
<v Speaker 1>to snatch that play calling sheet. If he's gonna go down,

0:41:06.520 --> 0:41:09.400
<v Speaker 1>go down swinging with your own calls and your own plays,

0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully he can write this ship. Man, But I

0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:15.000
<v Speaker 1>think he. I think he'll be able to. So let

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:16.719
<v Speaker 1>me let me just throw this out here. When you

0:41:16.760 --> 0:41:20.080
<v Speaker 1>talk about snatching the play sheet, Now, if you snatch

0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:22.719
<v Speaker 1>the play sheet the way you're Mike McCarthy and and

0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:26.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't see any results, and you don't see something better,

0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:30.399
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't make you look good. So do I Okay,

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm just thinking from a purely selfish standpoint. So if

0:41:33.440 --> 0:41:37.239
<v Speaker 1>I take this play sheet, I'm losing left tackle Brandon Knight,

0:41:37.600 --> 0:41:40.000
<v Speaker 1>who and I'm gonna put out somebody and left tackle

0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:42.360
<v Speaker 1>who hadn't played it all year long. I don't have

0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott. Do I really want to snatch play calling?

0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 1>And I've got this, I'm so shorthanded, I'm so sure

0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:51.239
<v Speaker 1>I just go ahead and let Kendell More handle that

0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:58.680
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. No, man, I see what you're just saying.

0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:01.080
<v Speaker 1>You're trying to switch this cambo around that you're not

0:42:01.120 --> 0:42:05.839
<v Speaker 1>gonna go this one man. As the question, do you

0:42:05.880 --> 0:42:13.120
<v Speaker 1>think he can write this ship? No? All right, you

0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:15.640
<v Speaker 1>say so. He can't. He can't get the locker room intact,

0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:17.799
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is now, it's just gonna it's gonna stay

0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:19.640
<v Speaker 1>the same one. It's gonna get worse. He can't get

0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:22.600
<v Speaker 1>this stuff under control. And from your own mouth, if

0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you was him, you wouldn't because we look so bad

0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:26.600
<v Speaker 1>right now. You don't want to take any credit for

0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:29.359
<v Speaker 1>how how much worse we could look if you can't

0:42:29.360 --> 0:42:32.840
<v Speaker 1>turn this thing around. First, Okay, if I'm taking the

0:42:32.880 --> 0:42:34.799
<v Speaker 1>play calls, that means I think I can do a

0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:38.160
<v Speaker 1>better job. Can you do a better job with what

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:42.600
<v Speaker 1>you have. Yes, the carpenter still needs tools. I don't

0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:44.200
<v Speaker 1>know if you can with the way this offensive line

0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:46.480
<v Speaker 1>goes I don't see it as far as it's lots

0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:48.840
<v Speaker 1>of stuff goes on. Let me see. Here's why I

0:42:48.880 --> 0:42:53.000
<v Speaker 1>don't see it getting fixed because clearly Mike Nolan and

0:42:53.080 --> 0:42:56.000
<v Speaker 1>what he's doing, it's not working. Mike Nolan is his guy.

0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Mike Nolan hired him as his offensive coordinator when he

0:42:59.080 --> 0:43:01.160
<v Speaker 1>was a head coach of San Franco. So they're sitting

0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:03.840
<v Speaker 1>up here replaying, you know, paying a favorite back. Jerry

0:43:03.920 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Jones said, I got no problem with Mike. Mike's okay

0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:08.919
<v Speaker 1>with me, And McCarthy is sitting up here saying he's

0:43:08.960 --> 0:43:11.680
<v Speaker 1>good with Nolan as well. So if your players are

0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:14.560
<v Speaker 1>down on this defensive coordinator and you're gonna stand by it,

0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:17.800
<v Speaker 1>that means you're basically telling the players they're all crazy.

0:43:17.840 --> 0:43:19.160
<v Speaker 1>They need to go ahead and figure it out. So

0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:24.359
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna get fixed in my opinion that I

0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:27.279
<v Speaker 1>find it. Let me tell you, let me let me

0:43:27.280 --> 0:43:29.239
<v Speaker 1>get you just one example. For a while, mccarthur just

0:43:29.239 --> 0:43:32.520
<v Speaker 1>snatched the play sheet and take responsibility for what's going

0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:35.640
<v Speaker 1>on offense. All right, if you watch I think it

0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:39.840
<v Speaker 1>was the Cleveland game when Umari Cooper scored his touchdown

0:43:40.160 --> 0:43:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and Andrew Sendejo should have picked that ball and took

0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:45.400
<v Speaker 1>it back and took it back the other way. We

0:43:45.480 --> 0:43:47.120
<v Speaker 1>are all looking like, man, that could have been a pick.

0:43:47.280 --> 0:43:49.480
<v Speaker 1>If you watched the play that Buddha Baker made and

0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:53.080
<v Speaker 1>he made the interception, it is the exact same play.

0:43:53.200 --> 0:43:56.319
<v Speaker 1>So if you couple that with defenses being able to

0:43:56.360 --> 0:43:58.600
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what you're gonna do and when you're gonna

0:43:58.640 --> 0:44:01.200
<v Speaker 1>do it, and then you're also from the outside looking

0:44:01.200 --> 0:44:03.280
<v Speaker 1>at me, you're not running the ball, you're not featuring

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:06.480
<v Speaker 1>your top players. They have a serious problem here, and

0:44:06.520 --> 0:44:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that Mike McCarthy he can't do any worse.

0:44:09.600 --> 0:44:11.279
<v Speaker 1>And him, as the head coach and the guy that

0:44:11.320 --> 0:44:13.680
<v Speaker 1>you hired to change this thing around, you should have

0:44:13.719 --> 0:44:16.360
<v Speaker 1>to take that responsibility no matter no matter what happens

0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:18.520
<v Speaker 1>with it. That is your job. You are the head coach.

0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:23.839
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, gentlemen, it's fifteen after that is our

0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:28.920
<v Speaker 1>show tomorrow. Let's dive into some matchups here in this

0:44:29.160 --> 0:44:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Washington and Dallas contest. By the way, in Washington they

0:44:33.520 --> 0:44:36.959
<v Speaker 1>call it Dallas Week, the whole Big Olds Dallas Week.

0:44:37.360 --> 0:44:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Here nobody calls it that, but that just tells you

0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:41.839
<v Speaker 1>how much it means to the folks up there in DC.

0:44:42.520 --> 0:44:45.239
<v Speaker 1>He's Danny mccraig, Barry Church, their former safeties with the

0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Cowboys, and NEWI Scrugs, longtime Cowboys reporter. We appreciate
