This is the Player's 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:23.640 Lama broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star. 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:32.559 Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCray, and Newe Scrugs. Hey, 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.159 it's Friday, everybody. Welcome to the players Lunchbot. You by 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.839 Hotels dot Com. I'm Newi Scrugs, a long time Cowboys reporter, 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.080 joined by two former Dallas Cowboys players. They both played 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.040 safety for the Cowboys, Danny McCrae and Barry Church. All right, gentlemen, 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:53.080 this is a draft position game on Sunday in Cincinnati, Ohio, 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:58.120 the Cowboys taking on the Bengals right now. The Bengals 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.680 have a third overall pick in the draft. The Cowboys 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.440 had the fourth pick in the draft. Whoever wins this? 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.520 Do they really win? Do they really win? In the 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:14.720 end when we start thinking about twenty one in FL Draft? Gentlemen, 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.600 let's let's start with Jerry Jones today. So Jerry talks 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.840 on Tuesdays and Fridays, the ten thirty Friday Show. I 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.119 used to host that when I was a host at 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.720 What A five through the family, so this is always 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.880 the good time to get Jerry as they head into 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.959 their game. So Jerry says he wished that they didn't 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:40.080 make so many defensive changes before the season. So Jerry 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:44.839 has regret about that. Mike McCarthy was talking about how, hey, 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:46.720 we got a bunch of guys who hadn't worked together 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.280 this year. So I wanted to run it by you first, 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.120 Danny McCrae, your thoughts on Jerry saying he wished they 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.600 didn't make so many defensive changes of Mike Nolan's scheme 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:01.320 this year. Also, I was just about to ask you that. 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.040 So it's specific to Mike Nolan's scheme and not the 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.120 changes that he made as far as coaches correct, this 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.440 is this is about the defensive scheme that oh hey, 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:14.639 look we try oh listen If that means absolutely nothing 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.200 to me, the scheme part is over with, man, it's 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.120 straight coaching. We've set out. It's it's no it's no 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.960 time when we sit there and we watched them get 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.040 beat for a deep touchdown, these guys being out of 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.320 their gaps to where you said, hey, man, I think 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.200 he's running something that's too complex. Maybe in week one 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.160 or two, but after that, he came out and said, 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.760 we're running stuff that the people run in high school. 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.800 Covered three were getting beat over the top aglar regular 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.960 base defense. We're out of our gaps on that. So 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.280 it's not necessarily the stuff that he put in and 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.840 the stuff that that the players may have not been 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.520 able to pick up on. It's literally the coaching that 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.160 is the problem on defense. So I mean, that don't 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:54.720 mean much to me. Now, if he would have said, yeah, 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.800 we shouldn't have let my man Richard go, and we 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.919 should have kept that kind of scheme because we've seen 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.119 some of our defensive backs becoming better players underneath him, 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:04.720 and we just needed to make a few changes on 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.440 the defensive line to get this better. I would have 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.400 been all for that. But Mike Nolan's ski. Nah, I 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.440 don't think that's it. But like I said, this makes 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.960 me think that next season, Mike Nolan will still be here. 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.840 M man. Look, I hope not. I hope not, man, 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.560 But I'm not wanting to call for someone's job. But look, man, 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.120 it's the proof is in the Pudding Boys has been 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.720 getting ran by ran through all seasons. I look, I'm 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.680 gonna say this, I'm gonna stick with what I said yesterday. 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.680 I do still believe it's sixty forty players over the coaches. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.920 And I say that because, look, man, the mistakes we've 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.520 seen out there, they're elementary. Man. You should know this. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.040 In high school, man, we've seen guys and Cover three 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.480 getting ran by playing flatfooted and Cover three like, there's 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.400 no there's no explanation for that. You shouldn't. You're a 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.280 better than this league. You shouldn't be able. You shouldn't 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.680 be able to do that. I mean, that's just that's 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.600 just day one ruler. You know that in high school 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.240 and Cover three you got the deep third, don't let 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.680 anybody get behind you. But we've seen that time and 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.080 time again with this Cowboys defense. It's just excuses. And 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.600 to me, it's just another it's just another talking point. 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.520 It's just something that like we talked we talked about 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.720 with Jayalen yesterday, how he's saying, Oh, we need to 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.520 do this, we need to hustle to the ball. It's 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.240 just all talk, man, it's all talking. It's all excuses. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.560 And until we see some type of something, some type 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.720 of moxie, some type of heart out there on the field, 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.400 I'm gonna just go ahead and shove it to the 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.479 side and just say it's all talking, it's all excuses. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.880 That's this. Listen, what you're just saying is another reason 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.880 why that it's coaching to me. And when I say coaching, 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.800 like I said, I don't mean scheme. I mean the 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.360 man at the head, the man that's in charge of 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.440 getting these players ready, motivating them, holding these guys accountable. 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:42.440 Chris Rochard is known for running what coverage church cover three? 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.000 Cover three? All right, so last year when Raschard was here, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.720 we did not see this type of stuff happening. It's basic. 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.800 Two quarters have the dep third and the middle safety 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.159 got the DP third and they played that defense and 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:55.960 they played they lined up in it, and they played it. 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:57.680 Now all of a sudden, this year we come out 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.680 and call the same defense with the same guy and 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.240 we can't run it. I mean, look, this is this 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.279 is this is the most clear clear Pencer. But what's 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.440 going on here? Like I said last year, we have 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.440 to say. I will say this though, were we good 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.080 last year? We ran the same type of people, But 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:17.840 were we good on the defensive side of the ball? 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.200 Last year? Were little better on they were left all 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:25.520 they were better yeah, it got worse. Church, they were better, 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:30.039 got worse. So so so yes, listen. So if you 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.040 if you go in there and you say, because remember this, 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.640 if you had Christian Shard here right, and you go 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.119 into the draft thinking the same way that you thought 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.880 this year, because initially it was we're going defensive back 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.680 and thinking defensive first in this draft, if you got 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.400 Christian Shard here and you say, all right, this is 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.000 we're gonna do. We're gonna give you every piece that 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.839 you need to build a defense that you want, I 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.240 think this would be a different defense versus versus what 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.599 it is. Now. I agree with you, Danny, I agree 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:58.039 with you on percent. Then so um, let's touch you guys. 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.280 Touched on Jalen Smith and what he had to say. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.719 Mike McCarthy had somewhat of response. Okay, Mike McCarthy said, 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:10.440 he didn't say effort. Okay, wasn't saying effort that He's 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:15.440 about finish. Okay, So it's about finishing, not effort, not effort, guy, 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.240 it's about finish. I thought it was one of the same. 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.200 I mean, I think you finishing the play, it's effort. 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.360 I mean, if you start out saying if you start 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.480 out going one hundred miles an hour and then you 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.800 just slow down towards the end. You don't finish as effort, 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.120 just like if you go to I mean, it's one 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.279 and the same to me at that quote just doesn't 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.480 make sense. But it's one of the micro cars. Another 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.000 head scratcher with this coaching staff. I mean, we've seen 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:40.960 the calls being head scratchers, and now we're seeing the 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.760 explanations being head scratchers. I don't know what's next, man, 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.640 That's why I'm off the cooler train Church. This will happen. 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.320 So this must be the same thing that's going on 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.120 in those means that you had them with Big Mike. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.799 He heard one, you heard one thing, but he really 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.680 didn't need to say that he'd been finish. He didn't 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.520 mean effort. Call bro, like you said, it's this same thing. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.920 You cannot finish or play without having effort. Like these 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.599 two things go together. They're not YouTube like, you can't 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.320 do it, So it doesn't make It doesn't make sense. 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:13.000 And the fact that that McCarthy says something inside the meeting, 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.160 Jalen Smith comes out and says it in the media 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.320 and then McCarthy has to go back and say it, 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.400 like what is this telephone? Like what are we doing? 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.200 Like go out there and you get in the Cincinnati 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:25.880 what are you talk So you have to listen to 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.160 everything that every player says and then go respond to 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.240 it in the meeting. Man, go out there and play football, 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.400 bro go coach, go focus on winning your fourth game 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:37.480 of the season. What is going on? That's about finish? Okay, 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.320 so there's four games left. Guy, let's finish. I mean, 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.920 Mike may want to just break out to Jason Garrett. 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:47.040 Finished shirts, So let's finish this fight. You know. That's Hey, listen, 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.440 let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.280 As as a Cowboys head coach, don't you put Jason 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.560 Garrett and Mike McCarthy in the same in the same sentence, 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.520 because right now it's a very different stature than they're on. 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.080 Like Jason Garrett, who has been much better as a 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.000 Cowboys coach that Mike McCarthy has shown his staff in 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.880 these first twelve games. Oh, there's no doubt about I agree, 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.960 there's no doubt about it. Um it has been and 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:10.720 I was. I was on the phone with someone today 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.600 I said, I was, I've been so let down so 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.480 let down that that. Now I'm starting to wonder, Okay, 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.360 how how much did I get suckered? Did he really 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.280 do anything in the barn like he said when Tom 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.040 Palasoro went there, Peter King was all that really going on? 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.720 But he said he was. They watched every because he 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.480 said it the press conference when they asked, hey, man, 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.720 you said you watched every single snap of every game, 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:33.560 and he's like, well, you know I wanted the job, 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.560 so right there, he says, no, he didn't do it, 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.280 he didn't watch it, so um, I don't man, I 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.360 was hoodwinked. I was fooled. I was off. I was 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.880 drinking at kool Ai. But unlike Church, I got off 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.280 that bambooze and got off that narcotic quick. That narcotic 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.040 real quick. Man. It's bad for me. They didn't got 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.080 us all man, They didn't blame Booze with us all. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.439 They had me on that narcotic as well knew he. 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.320 I was on it for about twelve weeks. But you know, 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.080 I went to a I went to AA meetings, and 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.240 now I'm off. I'm off for the kool Ai and 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.599 I'm thinking clearly now and I'm thinking that may we 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.680 might have made a mistake in letting JG lead, But 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:09.120 that's a point for another day. Now, Mike McCarthy, Mike, 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.280 Mike McCarty blinding y'all with the Super Bowl ring. Yes 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.959 this dude, gold Listen, think about what you just said, Louie. 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.000 The man goes out there and says he watches every 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.760 snap of every game, comes here and doesn't call plays. 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.640 So why are you watching the snaps for? Like what 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.360 are you getting out of and like putting into our 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.960 offense and our defense and our team that you saw 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.719 on film. If you don't call players on defense, your 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.880 friend doesn't, so we know you don't have much input there. 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.760 You're getting an all the play calling to killing more 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.679 so you don't have no input there. And your special 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.520 team coaches obviously calling face when you don't even know 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.600 he's calling them. So you've been watching all this stuff, 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.000 have your coaches and have you relayed the message in 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.400 what you've learned to them, because right now I don't 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.680 see it, which and I'll piggyback on what you said. 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.560 It was a really good point when Mike McCarthy once 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.640 again told the media, how, hey, we're dealing with a 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.720 lot of guys who haven't coached together. And Mike Nolan 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.480 is saying the same thing you do. We're dealing with 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:07.040 guys who have a coach together. I'm sorry. You know, 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.960 Ron Rivera is dealing with guys he hasn't coached with 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.400 in Washington. He's doing okay. Joe Judge never worked with 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.640 Jason Garrett before. Look at what they're doing. Heck, he 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.640 even fired Mark Colombo and they're sitting here getting better. 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.160 They're running the football very well. Cleveland, you know you 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.760 had it, yeah, Stefanski, first time head coach. So I'm 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:33.360 hearing these excuses, and I'm sorry the fans should not 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:37.040 buy these excuses. That they just shouldn't because there's other 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.760 people who dealt with the pandemic in the same way. 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.200 What you're telling us is that you did a poor 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.280 job handling the pandemic. Jerry's the one out here raising 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.679 his hand saying I wish we'd have done things differently 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.280 on defense. But then I come back and say, why 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.960 is Jerry taking the fall here as a general manager 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:55.960 when you brought in a head coach who said he 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.280 had a whole program ready to go, he spent all 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.200 this time he had it down. I'm back next year. Yeah, 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.920 but but you know he trying to come back. Mike 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:09.080 Nolan's not coming back. He's not buried. No, I don't know, no, no, 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.440 I don't know what happened gonna happen. It sounds like 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.400 it newly, all the sounds we get it sounds it 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.520 sounds like like this excuse is being made for Nolan 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.160 to be back next year. These are the excuses and 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.120 the sounds that I'm hearing telling you. Once they mess 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.559 with Jerry's money, no Sunday in that football game, Mike 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.760 Nolan's not coming back. You're not coming back. I mean 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.200 when when I don't know, you guys played the NFL. 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.960 I didn't play. But I'm just sitting here on that 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.560 that fourth or two Lamar Jackson touchdown, Like, why why 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.160 have you putting twenty three up here? The safety in 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.400 the linebacker spot. Here's the team that's gonna run the football? 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.599 Been running the football? Can you put three linebackers just 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.000 simple stuff and you're running nickel defense and they just 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.160 running down your throat, bludgeing and you, I mean you 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.000 look at we didn't even talk about Lamar Jackson's line. 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.360 This is what Lamar Jackson's line was in the game 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.520 twelve or seventeen, one hundred two yards, two touchdowns and interception, 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.000 twelve completions. They got thirty four points. They never made 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.360 him throw. He's coming off COVID. He doesn't have his 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.640 number one receiver and it's tight end. Mark Andrews didn't 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.959 have his number one wide receiver. Willie sneed who's at 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.040 with Covid. Hey, you don't even try to make this 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.240 guy throw. You know they're gonna run, and they just 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.520 run for two hundred and ninety four yards. If you 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.240 had two weeks to get ready, No, you don't get 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.320 to come back. You don't get you don't get to 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.559 blame COVID, don't get to do it. It's not gonna happen, 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.720 not to our defense. I think me and Church said 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:36.600 this at the beginning of the year. You do not 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.200 learn how to stop the run once the season starts, 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.440 all right, once you begin the season of your team, 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.200 who's not able to stop the run? That goes on 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.240 the entire season. So they I'm sure they sure, I 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.640 think hardest to stop the run, and they did as 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.720 much as they could. But this is a team that 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.560 we are You can't do it, Church, if you if 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.439 you can name the team that you've been on who've 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.400 been sucky? Is stopping the run at the beginning of 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:58.959 the year and at the end of the year you've 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:00.480 been like, you know what we became? Ain't me better? 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:04.000 Run stopping team? Let me know for middle for middle 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:10.880 school to high schools college. Let me know you Church. 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.559 If it's fourth and two and they tell you to 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:17.160 line up next to LV, what would you think? I 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:18.840 would think, you know what, as long as I want 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:20.560 to outside, I'm straight. But I'm gonna tell you what 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.679 Mike Mike Nolan was thinking. He was he's gonna he's 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.600 gonna go into these meetings. He's gonna say, look, man, 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.800 I got these boys lined up in the right position. 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.199 They just didn't read their keys and they didn't execute 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.720 the game plan. Like like if if vander esh would 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.000 have basically read his keys, he would have been writing 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.480 in the middle one on one tackle with Lamar Jackson. 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.280 But he didn't read his keys. He was way over there, 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.240 over in Whuville, over there. I don't know where he 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.120 was doing by Lamar Jackson was running up the middle 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.000 of the field for a touchdown and in the other 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:46.959 stance when I think it was number eighty ran a 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.920 special across the field. Um Darian Thompson should have been 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:51.720 writing a position to take him across the field. Everything 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:53.400 would have been locked up, but it was. It was 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.160 just a brain part, and he ended up letting the 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.040 guy Scott free and ended up getting a touchdown off 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:58.839 of that. So I don't know. I mean, it could 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:00.440 work both ways. I mean, but that's why I say 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.120 it's sixty forty on the players, because I mean, these 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.120 guys are going out there and they're just not executing. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.600 But Mike also isn't putting them in the best situation. 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.640 So I gotta say it's kind of a fifty fifty 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.760 sixty forty grab to me. I just don't know, especially 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.199 when I listened to Stephen Jones earlier this week when 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:15.920 he talked about, hey, these are some of the same. 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:17.920 These are guys. A bunch of these guys are in 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.920 this scheme last year, and you know they looked as bad. 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.480 I don't see how he survives. They're thirty second, they're 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.440 giving up more points than the Jets. They are on 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:29.480 pace to set franchise records that are embarrassing. I don't 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:33.320 see Mike Nolan coming back. He can't come back. Jerry's 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.120 gonna have a losing season. There's going to be a scapegoat. 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.320 They just can't sit up here and say COVID. COVID 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.440 will save Mike McCarthy, but it will not save his 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.120 friend Mike Nolan. It will not happen. We've got to 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.600 take a break when we come back. We do have 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.800 thoughts on the draft and do you go offense or defense? 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.680 Found something here that may help Danny McCray a little bit, 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.520 but we've also got to get predictions for this game. 0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:01.920 Let's dive into this next Bengals Cowboys Draft Bowl in Cincinna. 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.080 Let's get to it next.

No. He scrugs along with 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.720 former Dallas Cowboys players Danny McRae ed Barry Church. We 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:47.200 are in our SWBC Mortgage Virtual Home Studios Bengals hosting 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.520 the Cowboys right now. When it comes to the draft order, 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:56.480 it's Jets one, Barry's Jacksonville Jacks two, Cincinnati's three. Dallas 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.760 is number four. The Cowboys are favored by and I 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:05.280 have some places three and a half points for this game. Look, 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.920 the Bengals defense allows five yards per carry. They're thirtieth 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.399 in the league. Checking out Ezekiel Elliott today, he was 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.199 he is questionable for the game. Okay, he's questionable for 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.520 the game. Worked with resistance bands. Zeke does not have 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:23.920 a rushing touchdown since Dak Prescott left the Cowboys cam 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.199 irving tackle out for the game. Donovan Wilson, the safety 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.200 is he was limited in practice today. He's questionable. Tyler 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:34.240 be Honest apparently can return from iru. Cheeto Woozy is 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:38.679 gonna be out with COVID. So gentlemen, if you're the Cowboys, 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:44.080 if you got Zeke, he's questionable running run run, run, 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.760 run running. And then on the other side for Cincinnati, 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:50.840 their quarterback Brandon Allen, he got dinged up a little bit. 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:52.520 But if you can find a way to throw the 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.679 ball down the field, throw the ball down the field. 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.560 Because Anthony Brown's also questionable for this game here, so 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.000 they may not have Cheeto, may not have Brown, may 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:05.000 not have um No, Donovan Wilson, I mean, you know, 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:06.679 since and can find a way to throw it hit 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.239 on a couple of big plays, that's where you go 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.800 and if you the Cowboys trying to run the football, gentleman, 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.120 it's prediction. Yeah. Look and look go ahead church Well 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:18.840 for the prediction wise. Prediction wise, I'm a you know, look, 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:20.760 I ain't back on the cool D, but I ain't 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:22.959 going with the Cowboys on this one. I ain't going 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:27.240 with especially. No, I ain't on the cool A. I'm 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.159 just I'm just betting smart with this one because look, man, 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.320 the Bengals, they might be down to their third string quarterback, 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.919 and even their second string quarterback, Brandon Island, who I 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:37.879 was with down in Jacksonville. He's a scrub man. I'm 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:39.359 gonna put it like that. He's just he doesn't have 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.359 an arm stream and he's not very accurate with the ball. 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.119 So look, I'm gonna go like this, man, I know 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.200 they got talent out there on the wide receivers. Yeah, 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.120 I said it needs a scrub. Look, I'm gonna say 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:49.600 it like this, man. I know they got talent out 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:51.640 there at receiver. They got te Higgins, they got Boy, 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.040 they got aj Green. But the thing about a receiver, 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.200 I mean their dependent position. They got to get somebody 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:57.680 to give them the ball out there. And if you're 0:19:57.720 --> 0:19:59.959 going out there with Brandon Island or your third string quarterback, 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:01.879 You're not gonna You're not gonna do much. You're just 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:03.879 gonna be wasting talent out there. So I feel like 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:05.920 if this Cowboys team can do something they haven't done 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:10.159 all year and just play average to okay run defense 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:13.000
