Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys flowing out of
Speaker 1: the backfield. They flowing down the sidelines. He's hanging with
Speaker 1: the boys, presented by Windstuff where flavor gets its wings. Now,
Speaker 1: your hosts, Jesse Holly, Kurt Daniels, and Nate Newton, Welcome back.
Speaker 1: It is Tuesday. It feels like a while away, or
Speaker 1: just say it's been a long time. The game wasn't Sunday,
Speaker 1: wasn't Saturday, wasn't Monday last Thursday, So it feels like
Speaker 1: we've been kind of whatever. But that's a live look
Speaker 1: at the Tostito Championship Plaza outside in front of the
Speaker 1: Ford Center were currently it is sixty seven degrees Hi
Speaker 1: today will be sixty eight degrees. The Texas whether acting
Speaker 1: the way it's supposed to. Welcome back, gentlemen, Happy New Year,
Speaker 1: Happy twenty twenty three to you. Nate. You know what, man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be courteous to say, happened new year, Thank
Speaker 1: you folks. But I had a little trouble with my
Speaker 1: iPad and Chris was happening me and man who was
Speaker 1: having a conversation and Jesse gave me the Uncle Nate
Speaker 1: look once again. Yeah, I was a show. We were
Speaker 1: gonna make it on the show. They either where you
Speaker 1: over there struggling with that? But so okay, Jesse, I thought,
Speaker 1: But some minute giving me a cake and the next
Speaker 1: minute's stabbing with an eight inch blade. This segment, it
Speaker 1: is born to you by wingstop where flavor gets its wings.
Speaker 1: All right, So if you live on planet Earth and
Speaker 1: you have any connection to anything, then you heard about
Speaker 1: what happened last night, and you know it's it's when
Speaker 1: you sit this runsheet in. I was trying to figure
Speaker 1: out where's okay, Like, how do we approach this? And
Speaker 1: there is no way to truly approach it. And what
Speaker 1: we saw last night in the Monday night football matchup
Speaker 1: between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. For most,
Speaker 1: for all of us who have watched football, who've been
Speaker 1: a part of football, like Nate and I myself, it
Speaker 1: seemed to be a routine play. It seemed to be
Speaker 1: a routine catch. Receiver turned up the field, he becomes
Speaker 1: to make the tackle on the routine play. But in
Speaker 1: that moment, there wasn't a routine result where the guy
Speaker 1: gets up, they jaw, they go back and forth, they
Speaker 1: go back to the huddle, they play another down on
Speaker 1: this particular play, Um, Damar Hamilton, Hamil, excuse me, Damar Hamlin.
Speaker 1: After he makes the tackle, he shoots up and then
Speaker 1: he passes out. And been around football my whole life,
Speaker 1: never seen a situation like this before to where CPR
Speaker 1: had to be administered on the football field. And as
Speaker 1: you're watching the broadcast, you see visibly hurt players, emotionally
Speaker 1: disturbed players. There are tears, There are their look of
Speaker 1: shock of what is happening on the football field, to
Speaker 1: their teammate, to their to their fraternity brother that we
Speaker 1: have in this this national football league. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a sudden reminder that while we see
Speaker 1: her super heroic things be done on the football field,
Speaker 1: while we see these men that are able to bounce
Speaker 1: back from injuries that will put the common man in
Speaker 1: the hospital, while we see and you have terms of
Speaker 1: you know, warrior and soldier and all those type of
Speaker 1: things uh to describe football players. Football environment last night
Speaker 1: was a very clear indication that we are merely men.
Speaker 1: We are merely men. We're not machines. We're not superhuman,
Speaker 1: We're not superheroes. And as I'm watching this thing unfold,
Speaker 1: I am I'm emotional because I've never seen anything like
Speaker 1: this before. And then you realize, you realize from the
Speaker 1: gate that football is not important, that football is a
Speaker 1: child's game, that we as grown ups get an opportunity
Speaker 1: to play, and you, as adult fans, get a chance
Speaker 1: to watch. But it's just a game. And last night
Speaker 1: and still today, that there is a man who who
Speaker 1: whose life is lingering from a child's game. And I
Speaker 1: even thought the NFL last night went it too long
Speaker 1: to to cancel the game. But I get it, I
Speaker 1: understand it. A lot of stuff happening. This is there
Speaker 1: is no there is no playbook for this. And you know,
Speaker 1: I wanted to give us an opportunity to get our
Speaker 1: thoughts out, thoughts and prayers to the Hamlin family. Um,
Speaker 1: even even though it was an away game. His mom
Speaker 1: was in attendance last night, His family was in attendance
Speaker 1: last night. There's a video that shows him running to
Speaker 1: the sideline to showing love to his family before the game. UM,
Speaker 1: and I don't think there was ever a shadow of
Speaker 1: a doubt that in this moment, in this game tonight
Speaker 1: that they would find their loved one fighting for his
Speaker 1: life um on the football field. You know, Kurt, is
Speaker 1: there anything that you when did you feel in that moment?
Speaker 1: I wasn't watching it at the time, and so I
Speaker 1: was starting to get you know, I was checking account
Speaker 1: later and starting getting where I actually had friend call us.
Speaker 1: I was like, what happened? You know, what's happening? So
Speaker 1: then I went back and check. So it's scary, and
Speaker 1: it's even more so I would think as players, you know,
Speaker 1: you've been there and you've seen guys. I mean earlier
Speaker 1: that day Josh Sweat had been carted off the field,
Speaker 1: and or the day before to car taking to a
Speaker 1: hospital and you see Twa and his problems in Miami.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a dangerous sport that we often forget
Speaker 1: because we had drived such pleasure and enjoy of watching you,
Speaker 1: you know, football players perform. But yeah, that was It's
Speaker 1: a stark reality. Like you said that, in the end,
Speaker 1: it's it's a game, and it's just ordinary men playing
Speaker 1: a game in some way in aspects, and so it's
Speaker 1: it's kind of a reality check of what players and
Speaker 1: what you guys you two faced when you were playing
Speaker 1: us tough. Uh. I'm not going to be long on
Speaker 1: this fella. So when I first saw it as wow,
Speaker 1: you know, I thought like, I'm like you jazz routine
Speaker 1: and he would get up. He didn't get up. First
Speaker 1: of all, I feel a little bit different. I think
Speaker 1: the NFL handled it excellent. I think the way the
Speaker 1: broadcast team and everybody did, I think they handled it
Speaker 1: excellent for what, like you said, no book has been written,
Speaker 1: so they handled it excellent. When I saw it, and
Speaker 1: then I realized the impact of it. Then I thought
Speaker 1: like wow, And I told my wife, I got a
Speaker 1: kid that stopped because of concussion. My other baby boy,
Speaker 1: he played, he made it through, and I prayed for him.
Speaker 1: I prayed for us family. Asked my my wife do
Speaker 1: the same. I asked that everybody pray for this situation.
Speaker 1: And then I turned the TV off and I went
Speaker 1: to bed because this in God's hand. So that's just
Speaker 1: my point of view. Yeah. No, And then and you're right,
Speaker 1: and shout out to that um. That broadcasting cruise was
Speaker 1: Troy U and Joe Buck we're calling the game. And
Speaker 1: then back in the studio, you had Susie Colbert, you
Speaker 1: had Adam Schefter and Booger McFarland. You had least assaulters
Speaker 1: as a sideline reporter, and you could see and hear
Speaker 1: on their You can see on their faces and you
Speaker 1: can hear their voices, the concern, the the the heartfelt
Speaker 1: emotion that went into trying to report. I've never I've
Speaker 1: never watched an NFL game where they went to four
Speaker 1: commercial breaks like it was to that point where they
Speaker 1: couldn't even didn't even want And I applaud ESPN four
Speaker 1: that for not even wanting to show it. Yeah, or
Speaker 1: you know, because again there's Femily members back home, and
Speaker 1: when you don't have an opportunity to know what's happening,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want things to be speculated, uh,
Speaker 1: and you don't want your fear and your worry to
Speaker 1: to to go to get become greater when you're watching
Speaker 1: the players on the football field, and then those players
Speaker 1: deserved that little bit of privacy. Wise, they're having that
Speaker 1: moment of of of vulnerability again because you see these guys.
Speaker 1: You know, Josh Allen can throw the ball mile and
Speaker 1: tefon days can run the best routes, and these guys
Speaker 1: are on the field crying. Yeah, they're they're they're visibly
Speaker 1: visibly hurt at what they're seeing and understand. You know,
Speaker 1: when you talk about the two situations, and even a
Speaker 1: situation like a couple of years ago, what Ryan Shay's here,
Speaker 1: who happened on that same football field. You know, at
Speaker 1: times when someone gets up or even when they're carted off,
Speaker 1: you kind of get the thumbs up, you know, to
Speaker 1: kind of ease you a little bit, or you know,
Speaker 1: you get report that they're awake, that they're breathing. But
Speaker 1: when you have a situation like this where to be frank,
Speaker 1: if CPR is being a minister, that means that person
Speaker 1: is not breathing, that means that person is not with us.
Speaker 1: They're they're they're not. It's it's far greater than looking
Speaker 1: for thumbs up. And this is this was going on
Speaker 1: for a while. This was going on for minutes, which
Speaker 1: probably seemed like hours to those who were involved. You know,
Speaker 1: for for the businesses that I'm in, we have to
Speaker 1: go and do a CPR training and get our you know,
Speaker 1: our our things renewed year year in and year out,
Speaker 1: and to understand what it means to have to sit
Speaker 1: there and to press down continuously on someone's chest for minutes.
Speaker 1: That that is that is one's exhausting too. That tells
Speaker 1: you the type of shape that he was in in
Speaker 1: that particular moment um. And and to Nate's point, you know,
Speaker 1: all we can do now is pray to whatever God
Speaker 1: that you believe in, um to to give positive energy
Speaker 1: and thoughts and prayers to his family, uh to him.
Speaker 1: I know some of his teammates have been there, but
Speaker 1: this is a situation where it's tough, it's unprecedented, um,
Speaker 1: but it is a it is a it is a
Speaker 1: stark reminder that these men that step on that field
Speaker 1: each and every week are merely men. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: Does this or does it? I mean, obviously his teammates
Speaker 1: are in a bad place today. They're in a trouble
Speaker 1: because they've got to come back and they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to play with not knowing their team, but even our team,
Speaker 1: I mean the players around the league. Does this affect
Speaker 1: him like, you know, I have to go out there
Speaker 1: and do this? Yeah? Um, I mean I promise you,
Speaker 1: like when you put on your uniform, you strap on
Speaker 1: your helmet, your your thought process isn't going out there
Speaker 1: of hey today, I'm gonna today, this is gonna happen.
Speaker 1: You know, trust me. You know when Dak hurt his
Speaker 1: broke his ankle, that he didn't have that in mind
Speaker 1: when he put on his helmet that day. You know,
Speaker 1: I was I was a part of when DeMarcus Ware
Speaker 1: was carted off and we thought he had a serious
Speaker 1: neck injury. It was in New Orleans. No, No, it
Speaker 1: was before New Orleans a few years back, and that
Speaker 1: was just a scary situation. He see his wife and
Speaker 1: his children come out the stands crying, you know, and
Speaker 1: getting on the ambulance with him to drive to the hospital.
Speaker 1: So as a player, whether you're on that team or not,
Speaker 1: it again, it gives you that reminder that tomorrow's not promised.
Speaker 1: Like this is a violent game. This is a dangerous game,
Speaker 1: and every single play that you go out there, you
Speaker 1: don't know the outcome of it, because I mean we've
Speaker 1: seen that play happened a gazillion times and it just
Speaker 1: so happened on that particularly one. Something something happened, something
Speaker 1: happened in his body that said, right, that's it, you know,
Speaker 1: in that moment. So it's tough. It is tough, and
Speaker 1: we I wanted to make sure that we gave that
Speaker 1: it's proper it's proper due and too the Hammlin family
Speaker 1: from the hanging with the Boys crew, we offer our
Speaker 1: our thoughts and our prayers were sending them. I was
Speaker 1: I was disturbed last night, just trying to get back
Speaker 1: to sleep with it just I don't know, it just
Speaker 1: set with being because twenty four years old, yeah, like
Speaker 1: twenty four years old, like life is literally just beginning
Speaker 1: for this young man who was in his second year
Speaker 1: in the National Football League living out a dream, literally
Speaker 1: living out a dream of what he thought about since
Speaker 1: he was a kid, and now he's fighting for his life.
Speaker 1: So prayers for the family, prayers for Hambling, prayers for
Speaker 1: the teammates, friends, for the players that were involved last night.
Speaker 1: This is a very violent game, and I want people
Speaker 1: to remember that when you're screaming about fantasy points, when
Speaker 1: you're screaming about get out there, and you're scream about
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, just know that underneath those helmets,
Speaker 1: we are merely just men. That's it. That is, We're
Speaker 1: merely flesh and bone. So don't treat us as if
Speaker 1: we're these mythical creatures. We're not x men. We're merely
Speaker 1: merely men. So all right, we're gonna go to break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll talk more Cowboys, their playoff situations,
Speaker 1: the playoffsials, what do you want? Who you want? This
Speaker 1: thing has a couple different ways how we can play
Speaker 1: out for the Cowboys going forward. Jerry Jones spoke on it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you guys, take on it, but come
Speaker 1: right back, stay here with us, hanging with the boys.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the

Speaker 1: Back to Hanging with the Boys. Welcome back to Hanging
Speaker 1: with the Boys. The Cowboys, what seemed like a month ago,
Speaker 1: defeated who did they play? Forgot the Philadelphia Eagles. Who
Speaker 1: did they play? Tennessee Titans. Tennessee Titans. I forgot. I
Speaker 1: forgot they defeated the Tennessee time on Thursday Night Football.
Speaker 1: Because all the time has been about the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: It was twenty seven, I did. I didn't remember that.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that next twenty seven thirteen. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys the Tennessee Titans and now have set themselves up
Speaker 1: for a wild scenario. Yeah, and Kurt, I want you
Speaker 1: to break this down because you sent it, and how
Speaker 1: it all can kind of play out for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: Right now, they're the fifth seed. Correct, If they win
Speaker 1: and Philly loses and the forty nine Ers lose, then
Speaker 1: they would be the first seed and get the first round,
Speaker 1: by okay, it's my understanding, and then they'll have their
Speaker 1: first home game against the Green Bay Packers after the
Speaker 1: buy well correct, now they would have to buy, and
Speaker 1: then they'd play the lowest seed after them if they
Speaker 1: don't or if if San Francisco would win, then and
Speaker 1: they they're playing like Arizona or something. But then the
Speaker 1: Cowboys would have the number two seed and then they
Speaker 1: would play the either Packers the seventh seed, um the
Speaker 1: Lions or Seattle. So that's all all up in the air.
Speaker 1: And if they lose, they stay at the fifth seed,
Speaker 1: and if they lose, there the fifth seed, and they
Speaker 1: would open up at the second seed, which um. At
Speaker 1: that point, I guess it would still be simple to put.
Speaker 1: If Philly win, Philly win and the forty nine ers lose,
Speaker 1: then we uh, we gotta shout at the second seed. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know. If Philly wins, they have the number one yea, yeah,
Speaker 1: we have no, we're five, we're locked in at five.
Speaker 1: So both of them lose, we gotta shot at the
Speaker 1: second seed. I'm sorry if both if either one number one.
Speaker 1: If if Philly loses and forty nine Ers win, then
Speaker 1: we would have the second seed. Okay, we'll forget it,
Speaker 1: but we're number one. Yeah. This segment is brought to
Speaker 1: you by Blockchain Blockchain dot Com Walter Payton Man of

Speaker 1: fifth seed they play the Buccaneers at Tampa Bay, so
Speaker 1: you could the potential is there to face Tom Brady
Speaker 1: in the first round or Aaron Rodgers in the first round.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Jerry was asked about this this
Speaker 1: morning on the flagship station and they basically said, Hey, Jerry,
Speaker 1: do you want to go on the road as the
Speaker 1: fifth seed and take on Tom Brady, who you've never
Speaker 1: beat in Tom Brady's illustrious career. Or do you want
Speaker 1: to have a home game which would include you now
Speaker 1: having to play your arch and nemesis and the boogeyman
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. What do you think, Jerry Jones said, Nate,
Speaker 1: you want to be home? What do you think? Howard
Speaker 1: as soon? So? But to be home? You know, once
Speaker 1: again you call yourself laughing and uncle Nate. But that
Speaker 1: was just a setup to let you know it still
Speaker 1: ain't bad. But the coach of the Catamanders did, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't realize and they rolled this man. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: this man got bigger things in his mind right now,
Speaker 1: and I guess that it would be worried about that,
Speaker 1: but hey, what bigger things in your mind and you
Speaker 1: haven't particially be eliminated out of the playoffs. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: bigger things, man. I mean, this dude living a charmed life.
Speaker 1: Why they started wins? Yes? Why they yeah? Yeah, well, hey,
Speaker 1: start WinCE again this week. Please do us a favor
Speaker 1: and start WinCE again this week so you can give
Speaker 1: us three. They asked him if they were going to
Speaker 1: start the third stringer this week. I know. That's my god.
Speaker 1: That's why he was like, why would I why would
Speaker 1: we do that? I mean why He's like, Well, because
Speaker 1: of Green Bay wins. He's like, we'll be out of
Speaker 1: the playoffs seven years? Did I defend Carson? How many years?
Speaker 1: For three straight years? Give this kid a chance? Now
Speaker 1: he's had mostable chances and man coach, probably all the
Speaker 1: ones that we give. So here comes So here comes
Speaker 1: the conversation out right there is there's there's two conversations
Speaker 1: to be had. But the Cowboys winning last week and
Speaker 1: the Jalen Hursts less Philadelphia Eagles losing last week, the
Speaker 1: Cowboys have kind of put some pressure back on the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. Now you have to go out there and win.
Speaker 1: Now there's a report that Jalen Hurst might play, might
Speaker 1: not play, who knows. But for the Cowboys, do you
Speaker 1: consider going all gas, no breaks and just being kind
Speaker 1: of almost a little bit content with the fifth seed
Speaker 1: and resting guys? Sorry, do you go all gas, no
Speaker 1: brakes and play all your guys and continue to put
Speaker 1: the pressure back on those other teams because you wouldn't
Speaker 1: Fililphi were playing at the same time, So you don't.
Speaker 1: You won't know the outcome of what the game will
Speaker 1: be until after you both are done playing. It's not
Speaker 1: like it two or at the same time, at the
Speaker 1: same time. Listens, listens, obvious blow out. I see what
Speaker 1: you did there too, NFL. Yeah, lessens, obvious blow You're
Speaker 1: making everybody to play, right, But the bottom line is
Speaker 1: this right here, But let me finish. Should the Cowboys
Speaker 1: full all gas, no brakes, play all their guys to
Speaker 1: the finish or kind of almost can see and say, man,
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to get some
Speaker 1: significant guys either banged up or more banged up than
Speaker 1: they already are. Let's just hold tight and keep some
Speaker 1: of these guys out and give them a chance to
Speaker 1: rest up for next week. If they don't have Jalen Hurbs,
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose. We gotta go in there and play.
Speaker 1: We gotta gonna let the coaches and missus Jones them
Speaker 1: scoreboard watch, and if it's an obvious blowout, then you
Speaker 1: start taking you guys out. If it's obvious blow out
Speaker 1: by Philadelphia, you start taking you guys out. If not,
Speaker 1: you go, you go, you go full till you go,
Speaker 1: you go for because they're playing the Giants right, correct,
Speaker 1: The Giants gonna go full till the Giants trying to
Speaker 1: change their culture and they're trying to go to secure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they're trying to change their culture. If if they
Speaker 1: rest in people, they just gonna return back to who
Speaker 1: they the original it was a year ago. You got
Speaker 1: to come out and play not But this is coming
Speaker 1: from a guy who believed that the more you win,
Speaker 1: the better you become. The more you win in the
Speaker 1: right correct way, the better you become. So now they
Speaker 1: may not be thinking that way, but coach Diable, it's
Speaker 1: all of a sudden got people thinking that way. So
Speaker 1: I'm thinking they're gonna come at the Philadelphia Eagles Kirk, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so as well. They have to go out.
Speaker 1: They have to put the pedal to the metal and
Speaker 1: go all out come. I mean, they could get there,
Speaker 1: they get the number one seed, they get the buyer,
Speaker 1: they get that first round by so that, you know,
Speaker 1: that's something they desperately needed to get some guys healthy
Speaker 1: and all that. So unless there, I mean, unless it's
Speaker 1: a blowout or I don't mean, you know, maybe the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers are blowing them. Their opponent out. I
Speaker 1: don't think. I think they play the whole game. And
Speaker 1: if not, it's maybe late in the game they give
Speaker 1: them a rest. But otherwise we're gonna see him. We're
Speaker 1: gonna see him go. They better, they better get out
Speaker 1: there and go. It's a very it's a very interesting
Speaker 1: proposition because I mean, you do have to weigh the
Speaker 1: risk and reward. You want to you want to find
Speaker 1: yourself in a situation where hey give ourselves the best
Speaker 1: chance to potentially move up. But there is a factor
Speaker 1: in a game that they at any given time an ankle, shoulder.
Speaker 1: And I know people are gonna say, scared money, don't
Speaker 1: make money. I'm just playing Devil's advocate here, people. I
Speaker 1: have to be a host. I have to give both
Speaker 1: sides of the spectrum at times. So just trying to
Speaker 1: play both of those things. Now they go all they go,
Speaker 1: all gas, no brakes, play all of their guys. Is
Speaker 1: there something to be said about how those guys perform
Speaker 1: because you're still playing a division opponent, You're still playing
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders. I think there's still gonna be a toughness,
Speaker 1: you know about that game, because you know Washington wants
Speaker 1: to have some proude about themselves and ending their year
Speaker 1: on a good note. And of course the Cowboys want
Speaker 1: to have some pride in theirselves and in their year
Speaker 1: and give themselves a chance to continue on their path.
Speaker 1: Is there a concern? Will there be a concern if
Speaker 1: the Cowboys play all of their guys and we see
Speaker 1: one of those games where it's like up here they go,
Speaker 1: they're struggling again. Those two three turnovers happened in that game. Again,
Speaker 1: it didn't it didn't look all as good, but they
Speaker 1: eked out a six point victory. And so that's who
Speaker 1: they are. We keep trying to make the Cowboys something
Speaker 1: while we well, I'm gonna come in here and I'm
Speaker 1: staying there. Obviously, I'm black, short hair, what I've been
Speaker 1: this way could have I'm not coming in here arm
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden be looking like Kurt. It
Speaker 1: ain't happening. The Cowboys are. They are? Okay, we we
Speaker 1: act like the Cowboys. The Cowboys are. The last ten
Speaker 1: games excuse me, yes, the last ten games have guaranteed
Speaker 1: you two turnovers, and they have gotten almost two turnovers.
Speaker 1: So it's been a push. We've guaranteed how we play,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a struggle. We've played that way for
Speaker 1: the last ten games, well nine games, because Minnesota was different,
Speaker 1: but all other games has been this exact same way.
Speaker 1: What is now? They may change in the playoffs, but
Speaker 1: can they flip that switch? I mean, it ain't no switch.
Speaker 1: It's who they are. Playoff game now, right, this is
Speaker 1: a playoff game. Yeah, this ain't no switch. This is
Speaker 1: who they are. Like change it in the playoffs that
Speaker 1: they can't change it now? You saying they're gonna lose
Speaker 1: in the playoffs because they've been winning with this combination
Speaker 1: of how they've been playing. Okay, yeah, they've been winning.
Speaker 1: See I refuse to go to bed again, saying maybe
Speaker 1: this time it won't happen. No, maybe this time it
Speaker 1: will happen that maybe this time we'll still win. What what? What?
Speaker 1: What are you looking for? Tell me? Besides a perfect
Speaker 1: game of no turnovers? They cut down on the penalties,
Speaker 1: but no turnovers, when has it happened? Yeah? Come on, y'all,
Speaker 1: Minnesota game is about it? Come on, y'all, you either
Speaker 1: gonna accept who you are? Are you gonna are you
Speaker 1: gonna get disappointed? I did find it funny. I was
Speaker 1: reading some stuff from Philadelphia about their game, and there
Speaker 1: they were like the writers are like, yes, Hurts didn't play,
Speaker 1: but this team had no energy or a whole hum.
Speaker 1: They played down to their opponent's like everything we're saying, yes,
Speaker 1: same thing. I'm gonna tell you something, Fellas, our defense
Speaker 1: is beat up. You either go into that game and this, Jess,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping this was your mindset. You either go into
Speaker 1: that game full board, trying to win it and let
Speaker 1: the coaches do the scoreboard. Are you going to that
Speaker 1: game half hearted and ain't nothing gonna work right? You
Speaker 1: and ain't nothing gonna work right? So you gotta go
Speaker 1: into this game full board. You gotta give it all
Speaker 1: you got and play the best you can play. Now,
Speaker 1: whether that's turnovers or no turnovers, whether that's getting a
Speaker 1: thousand turnovers or no turnovers. You got to go into
Speaker 1: this game full board. Because I got to think New
Speaker 1: York is gonna play. They're gonna play because I remember
Speaker 1: a New York team not too far in the distance
Speaker 1: was in the same shoe. They have better players, started
Speaker 1: a playoff run that didn't end into the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: So that coach made cold and say, hey, I knew
Speaker 1: I wasn't a coach. But remember this year ninety something
Speaker 1: or ninety I don't know when it was, and they
Speaker 1: did as Super Bowl, but they made a run. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: it's about who you are now and what you're trying
Speaker 1: to improve upon. You know, because that same team were
Speaker 1: watching the last night Cincinnati. Remember we thumped them. They
Speaker 1: these this see turn this up around? So well, do
Speaker 1: they truly have us chance at a Super Bowl? They
Speaker 1: truly have a chance. I don't think we have a chance.
Speaker 1: I think we just a second round team waiting to
Speaker 1: be knocked off. You know, That's just how I feel.
Speaker 1: I'm selling now. I'm like I said, when I do
Speaker 1: this show, I try to be as real as possible.
Speaker 1: Towards the end of the show, I turned, I try
Speaker 1: to do it as really possible. I mean, all right,
Speaker 1: So here's what we're gonna talk about. On the other
Speaker 1: side of this break. Dan Quinn came out and he
Speaker 1: talked about something that they need to improve on. This defense,
Speaker 1: as you stated, have been beat up. So dan Quinn
Speaker 1: has come out and he has some suggestions or some
Speaker 1: of the things that they need to do a little
Speaker 1: bit better to help themselves. I'm waiting on this at
Speaker 1: the end of the season and potentially in the playoffs
Speaker 1: on but it starts this week. Stay right here with us.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what those things are and what he
Speaker 1: said on the other side of his break. This is

Speaker 1: Back to Hanging with the Boys. On this lovely Tuesday,
Speaker 1: we welcome you back to Hanging with the Boys. As
Speaker 1: we continue to get into this Cowboys week, we talked
Speaker 1: about everything. We talked about the Demorrow Hamlet situation, we
Speaker 1: talked about the offense. We talked about the playoff scenario,
Speaker 1: which we still don't understand, but that's all good. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys have to go out there and do what they're
Speaker 1: supposed to do and win. Just win. So if the
Speaker 1: Eagles lose and the forty Niners lose, what the best
Speaker 1: we can get Eagles, That's all I need to know.
Speaker 1: So not Homer nadies about to crank, but I think
Speaker 1: in order for this football team to realistically make this
Speaker 1: run that we're talked about to break the Giants made
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, or any playoff rount, yes,
Speaker 1: you're going to need your offense to be clicking on
Speaker 1: all cylinders. Maybe Dak turned on on some of those turnovers.
Speaker 1: Maybe the receivers catch the packers catch some of the
Speaker 1: balls and not let them hit you in the chest
Speaker 1: and bouncing the defender's hands. But you're going to need
Speaker 1: this defense to play back to where they were earlier
Speaker 1: in the year when Dak Prescott was out for those
Speaker 1: five games. This was the best defense, or arguably the
Speaker 1: best defense in all of football. It really was. They
Speaker 1: were getting to the quarterback. They didn't have as many turnovers,
Speaker 1: but they were just lights out. They were They had
Speaker 1: quarterbacks terrified. Yeah, they had quarterbacks shook. And then it
Speaker 1: seemed like when Dak came back, it was like they
Speaker 1: took a breath, some guys got hurt, and then then
Speaker 1: they didn't seem to be as fearful as they once were.
Speaker 1: And then they went on the stretch where they had
Speaker 1: one sack in three games and giving up four hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty plus yards thirty points a game. It was.
Speaker 1: It was a weird, and it wasn't against these dominant
Speaker 1: type of teams, like they didn't play like Buffalo and
Speaker 1: Kansas City and you know, Cincinnatti back to back to back.
Speaker 1: It was. It was some It was some brody pools
Speaker 1: and there might have been a booty juicer too in there,
Speaker 1: you know, but they were. They were giving up a
Speaker 1: ton of points. And my guy, my Jersey guy, you know,
Speaker 1: dan Quinny. Of course his name is circulating around the
Speaker 1: league about potential head coaching jobs for next year, but
Speaker 1: he understands that I have a job to do right now.
Speaker 1: And then you're gonna love this because you alluded to
Speaker 1: this last week. Last week, So dan Quinn comes out,
Speaker 1: Holy moly, I just looked up at that light and
Speaker 1: looked back down the notes and I can't see them. Man. Okay,
Speaker 1: dan Quinn came out, and they said they've got work
Speaker 1: to do on stunts and trapping a quarterback inside. So
Speaker 1: working on their stunts, working on their quarterback, keeping them
Speaker 1: in the pocket, not giving enough containment. Now, my question
Speaker 1: to you both, is that a technique thing, a talent
Speaker 1: thing or want to dan quinnn teach it? But is
Speaker 1: it a talent technique or one two thing? On the
Speaker 1: guys that he's teaching it too, and can they get
Speaker 1: it done on the field on Sunday? They're gonna have
Speaker 1: to because where you was fortunate enough with all those
Speaker 1: teams that you named the elequent names that you gave them,
Speaker 1: the booty uses. They were easy. You can you can
Speaker 1: start lackey when and I'm doing a end tackle stunt
Speaker 1: and I'm going to end first, the end is coming first.
Speaker 1: That mean the end if it turned into a run,
Speaker 1: the end have to automatically come into a two gap
Speaker 1: situation and try to stop that play in the middle.
Speaker 1: But this tackle that's looping outside, if this is an
Speaker 1: outside running play, you got to go try to run
Speaker 1: out of to get that edge. And that's the same
Speaker 1: thing in the past. You don't, Oh, you see a
Speaker 1: little gap right behind them, the end that's coming there,
Speaker 1: do you run right beside the end? That's just like
Speaker 1: on special teams. You're in the same lane. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: still gotta get outside. That's what my band did two
Speaker 1: weeks ago, Parsons Daiien, that's what he did. You know,
Speaker 1: offensive tackles do that? Can you ask a big guy?
Speaker 1: You have to because if you don't running back on
Speaker 1: the inside. If you don't, now you're getting punished on
Speaker 1: the outside. Now, if you don't, you got a quarterback
Speaker 1: that's running out there. Everybody ain't gonna be uh ment
Speaker 1: you or whatever his name Samurai guy, ain't bain't gonna
Speaker 1: be him. Yeah, you get, you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I always want to call it the Southmara ment. You
Speaker 1: I like that. But anyway, the better quarterbacks would get outside,
Speaker 1: break contain and put that ball on the target. The
Speaker 1: guys that we were playing the playoffs will be able
Speaker 1: to break contain when you go to doing all these stunts,
Speaker 1: even even even with games, even with blitzes, you still
Speaker 1: have a responsibility. You can't brush everybody inside of the
Speaker 1: leader outside over. Somebody got to come up and contain
Speaker 1: and you got to know that as a player, And yes,
Speaker 1: it may put you in a bad position, it may
Speaker 1: not be the perfect position, but you got to do
Speaker 1: everything in your power to make sure you do. You
Speaker 1: hold up your part as best you can and athletically
Speaker 1: as you can. We've been talking about the team. You know,
Speaker 1: they are who they are. They play around down to
Speaker 1: this and changing that is not gonna be possible. Is
Speaker 1: this who they are as a pass rushing unit now?
Speaker 1: And then you're not gonna be able to change it.
Speaker 1: You can change that, that's just that's just a matter
Speaker 1: of Like I suggested off the air, I said, you
Speaker 1: are you, is Dak capable I'm not throwing at least
Speaker 1: one interception a game? Does he believe? And I'm putting
Speaker 1: him put it all on me now, Jill, because I
Speaker 1: don't want about to say, hey, this is what Jes said,
Speaker 1: just what I thought of. We just was talking. I'm like,
Speaker 1: is he is this possible for him to go through
Speaker 1: a game? And just said yes, and I'm looking at him.
Speaker 1: He said, Now will he That is the question. If
Speaker 1: somebody gonna sit down and say, Dak, that throw you
Speaker 1: made there in the game, bro, that was that was
Speaker 1: in double coverage and that would have took uh a
Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan type on him to get that ball down
Speaker 1: through there. And it had to be a baseball because
Speaker 1: a football ain't gonna fit as I'm right right, And
Speaker 1: so it's who's gonna tell Dak that Dak is a
Speaker 1: hell of a quarterback when he plays within himself and
Speaker 1: when he gets outside it said, he's an average guy.
Speaker 1: And that's just that's just what it is. Now, Well,
Speaker 1: do he want to play within himself and be the
Speaker 1: superstar that I know he was can be. That's up
Speaker 1: to him. What does that mean for him to play
Speaker 1: within himself and rely on the run game or the path.
Speaker 1: He used to be very extinct, instinctive. You know, he
Speaker 1: could feel when the pocket was breaking down and he
Speaker 1: would know just enough to move and get rid of
Speaker 1: the ball into something short, or he would just take
Speaker 1: off and run, get what he can and slide to
Speaker 1: the ground. That was the Dak. I used to be
Speaker 1: in love with her, Like, Okay, it was third and seven,
Speaker 1: he got, he got, you know he Now it's it's
Speaker 1: it's fourth and two. It's a decision. Depending on where
Speaker 1: you had to field, you can be made. But now
Speaker 1: it's third and seven, we'll thought twenty yards down the
Speaker 1: field and a high percentage pass that ain't gonna be
Speaker 1: ain't better. Now we have no options but to punt.
Speaker 1: All will for something down And they're like, we like,
Speaker 1: we got a thirty out six and we have no
Speaker 1: options because we got we got an interception. And I'm
Speaker 1: just speaking real. But back to back to the defense.
Speaker 1: That's more important right now, back to your defensive thing.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, it's it's you know, defensively fixing those
Speaker 1: small things. Um, what else with us? What else? You know?
Speaker 1: You sit we got Yeah, I'm saying, like, but that
Speaker 1: but that's you know, the games and stunts and then
Speaker 1: being able the trayvon digs and that those guys on
Speaker 1: the back end, they were successful in my opinion because
Speaker 1: of the way that the pass rush got home because
Speaker 1: now I can sit back there as a dB and
Speaker 1: no one believe he got three seconds with this ball
Speaker 1: to come out. That's what most so anything. Yeah, at
Speaker 1: the most, yeah, he got two point five right, so
Speaker 1: I can sit on everything. I could break on everything
Speaker 1: because they don't have time to go through three four
Speaker 1: different reads. If he look this way, it's coming. If
Speaker 1: he turned this way, it's coming. Now. I know Diggs
Speaker 1: has been beat a lot of times on those double moves,
Speaker 1: but that's when they match protected up, give you a
Speaker 1: little something and then But for the most part, if
Speaker 1: you want that back end to be especially being able
Speaker 1: to hide those those wounds. With Anthony Brown now out,
Speaker 1: you're still trying to figure out who's gonna play those spots.
Speaker 1: It's imperative that pass us gets home. That that's going
Speaker 1: to have to be the calling card for this defense,
Speaker 1: for that pass rush to kind of ignite that that
Speaker 1: fuge that it once had of those guys getting off
Speaker 1: the football and getting to the quarterbacks so much. It
Speaker 1: seems like opponents now changed their game plan where they're
Speaker 1: getting a bit rid of the ball room quick because
Speaker 1: there can the corner of the secondary help. I mean,
Speaker 1: did they play up, you know, bump them at the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage more? I mean, how do they How
Speaker 1: do you help an offensive line when there they have
Speaker 1: even less time to get the defensive defensive line. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's all about the timing because if I
Speaker 1: have to make them hurry up that anything that disrupts
Speaker 1: their timing gives me a slight advantage of getting to
Speaker 1: the quarterback. We've seen it. We watched it time and
Speaker 1: time again before, where you know edge rushers or interior
Speaker 1: rushers where they're like just so close from getting that
Speaker 1: strip sack and it's like, boy, if he had a
Speaker 1: half or more second that thing would have been, he
Speaker 1: would have been right there. And that's that's because in
Speaker 1: the back end of it, the timing was disrupted. We
Speaker 1: see Dak do it at times where he get ready
Speaker 1: to like he looking at something, he get ready to
Speaker 1: throw it, and then he goes, oh, nope, I can't,
Speaker 1: I can't throw there because they've given them something that's
Speaker 1: thrown off the timing and where where these footballs should go.
Speaker 1: So for them, yeah, it's come up, it's disguised a
Speaker 1: little bit better, it's bumping a little bit better. It's
Speaker 1: um you know, have guys flashing in and out of
Speaker 1: those those windows at the quarterback is trying to look
Speaker 1: into and just to make him have to second guess himself,
Speaker 1: just just to hair longer, so that way you're able
Speaker 1: to get in there and your defensive pass rushers are
Speaker 1: able to get in there and create a little bit
Speaker 1: of havoc. It's soplicate. It's so simple. Yes, so complicated.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. And coach Johnson used to
Speaker 1: talk about it a lot. He said, when you have
Speaker 1: great players, simplified as possible, when you have when eighty
Speaker 1: percent of your team is better than their team, you
Speaker 1: can simplify it as possible as much as you can.
Speaker 1: And and but if you have less of players, you
Speaker 1: got to hope that they're ultra smart above the next
Speaker 1: so you can add a few more gadgets and a
Speaker 1: few more things. When Tom Brady was at the UH Patriots,
Speaker 1: they look for that type of player. They may be
Speaker 1: a little bit less talent, but they were ultra smart.
Speaker 1: And so that is what we have to find out
Speaker 1: who we are. Are we that type of team that's
Speaker 1: ultra talented and we can just fit the scheme. That
Speaker 1: ain't some defense anymore. We're not that. We have two
Speaker 1: guys that are ultra tality and and the other guys
Speaker 1: have to pay attention to detail. And that's what coaches
Speaker 1: talking about. I like it. I like it. I like it.
Speaker 1: All right, that'll end it for us. Tomorrow Wednesday, we're
Speaker 1: gonna do Cowboys offense, the Washington Commander's defense, Cowboys offense.
Speaker 1: You're looking at me like I said, I'm with you,
Speaker 1: I'm riding with you. I'm riding with you. I can't concentrate, No,
Speaker 1: not like that like crazy. You're like a crazy man,
Speaker 1: looking at me like you about to bite me in
Speaker 1: the face of something. You know what. That's what I
Speaker 1: keep her head out When you be talking like that,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'm not supposed to continue a thought.
Speaker 1: When you looking at me like this, Tomorrow, cowboy, I
Speaker 1: don't look at it. You turning Kurt Kirk Kurt. When
Speaker 1: I look at it, No, look at me. You don't
