00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go ahead and bring it to you

28
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: to day. I got bad news for you, Okay, got

29
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: bad sucky ducky. It is not that the Cowboys will

30
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: lose to the Giants, because I'm going to tell you

31
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: right now, on a Wednesday, for tomorrow's show, our final

32
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: show of the week, I'm going to pick the Cowboys

33
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: to beat the Giants. Okay, Cowboys are better team, playing

34
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: better football than New York Giants. Right now. The disappointing

35
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: thing I got to tell you because I believe Washington

36
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: will go in too Philadelphia and win the East. I

37
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: really do, no, sir, no sir, no, sir, look man,

38
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Even if even if Alex Smith is at quarterback. I

39
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: still don't see them taking this win. I mean, look, Philadelphia,

40
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: their offense sputtered a little bit against us, but I

41
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: feel like they'll go out there, They'll be at home.

42
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: They'll be back at home. Jalen Hurts will be back

43
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. And look, Doug Peterson already said there's a

44
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: no hat rule. They're not letting Washington come in here

45
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: and celebrate a division championship on their turf. All right,

46
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: that is not gonna happen. Alex Smith, he's on one

47
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: leg right now, one leg right now. He's already dump

48
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: it down and chuck it down, Charlie. All right. So

49
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't see their offense producing that much. But what

50
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: scares me about Washington, and what's always scared me is

51
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: their front seven. I mean, they're vicious in that front seven.

52
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: And if Philadelphia doesn't score at least seventeen to twenty points,

53
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: you might be onto something. But I'm praying and I'm

54
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: hoping that Jalen Hurts comes through with Miles Sanders, Doug

55
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: ep do not give up on the run like you

56
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: did with the Cowboys, because that's saying does he gave

57
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: up the run against the Cowboys? I don't know why.

58
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't know why. It helped me out, but I

59
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: don't know why he did that. Do not give up

60
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: on the run, all right, I'm telling you now, do

61
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: not give up on the run. Contain this crew and

62
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: you should get a w Do it for me, for anybody,

63
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Just do it for me. You can't do enough for you. Man.

64
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: After the game, I'm a fan of going and listening

65
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: to certain teams radio stations, you know, just to hear

66
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: what their fans are saying. And then because it's Philadelphia.

67
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: Through the years, I've been on NBC Sports Philadelphia so much,

68
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: I know those folks have checked out their things. There's

69
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: a real problem in Philadelphia in terms of not just

70
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: the personnel, because they're like, hey, man, we got street

71
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: free agents out there. Mean, you saw how thirty eight

72
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: was getting beat like a drum against the Cowboys. But

73
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: they don't believe in the coach, that the coach has

74
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: any answers to understand. So what you were saying about, hey,

75
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: why did he give up on the run, Doug Peterson

76
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: was getting drilled up and down because they were sent

77
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: there saying, okay, you went away from what was working

78
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: for you in the first quarterbe what were you doing?

79
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of faith and what's going on

80
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. And then we don't know about the status

81
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: of fletchri Cox. Okay, we saw what had with Fletchrick Cox.

82
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: Let that lineup, and so I fletchri Cox is in there.

83
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: He can he can, he can change the football game.

84
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: If he's not playing, it's a lot easier for Washington.

85
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: But Doug Peterson may get fired. I mean that's what

86
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: you're talking about now. These guys on this staff may

87
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: get fired. I don't know how many guys are ready

88
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: to go ahead and just say, hey, look, the season's done.

89
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm ready to take it to the house. Mccraig. Yeah,

90
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 1: this is a Philadelphia team that is used to playing

91
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: for something. Even last year they played the final game

92
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys and won the division. You know this

93
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: team is that's one of the the Super Bowls, and three

94
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: years ago these guys got nothing to play for. I

95
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: just wonder how many dudes are gonna come out there

96
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday against Washington ready to actually

97
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: get up here and play. And how many of these

98
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: guys they have left are any good? Their offensive line

99
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: is terrible too. They got a lot of issues barried,

100
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: You got a lot of issues, you know, you know.

101
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: I want to kind of push back on that one

102
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: a little bit, just just coming from the perspective of

103
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: guys who don't have guaranteed contracts and aren't for sure

104
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: to come back next year and playing for other teams

105
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: around the league. They have a lot of guys, especially

106
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: in the receiving group, that have to really prove that

107
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: they're able to play so they can be on a

108
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: roster next year. Jalen Hurts has a lot to prove

109
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: so he can show that he needs to be the

110
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: starter next year and continue to hold Carson Wentz either

111
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: on the bench or to another team. Miles Sanders just

112
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: competing for his running backspot because they brought back Howard,

113
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: you had Scott come in and take some carries from him.

114
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: So they have some stuff to prove. But I don't

115
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: think that they can really stand Washington's defense. Who is

116
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: who is really the backbone of their team And they've

117
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: been playing outstanding for the entire year and they continue

118
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: to get better, and I think they'll be able to

119
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: put pressure on Jalen hurtson and confuse them a little

120
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: bit and call some of those that those interceptions that

121
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: you've seen happen when they played US last week. So

122
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, I put it on the defense. Like you said, Church,

123
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is on one leg. But I think they'll

124
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: have McLaren back. I think Gibson to be a little

125
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: bit more healthy. So I think they'll have just enough

126
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: to beat Philly. But you know, it's football, man, you

127
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: never really know. I just don't see Washington's offense. Man.

128
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: Like I said, their defense, they're legit, they're solid. They

129
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: got Chase Young, Ryan Kerrigan, they got Jonathan Allen and

130
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: those boys. Their front seventh is probably one of the

131
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: better front seventh's International Football League. But their offense is

132
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: what's dragging them down. And I just can't see it.

133
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: I can't see Alex Smith pushing the ball down the

134
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: field and beating this Philadelphia Philadelphia defense. I think they're

135
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: gonna make them go throughout the whole draft. They're gonna

136
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: have to do long sustained drafts and I just don't

137
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: see that happening. And if Alex Smith doesn't play, you

138
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: got Heineke back there. I mean, he looked decent when

139
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: he when he had the Southern for Haskins last week.

140
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: But we've seen that plenty of times where guys come

141
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: in they're not expecting to play against this quarterback and

142
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: he goes out there and plays lights out, and then

143
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: the very next week he goes in there and lays

144
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: an egg. So for me, I just don't see their

145
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: offense being able to go out there and produce big points.

146
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is gonna end up winning this. Y'all not ruining

147
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: this man. Y'all, y'all this guy. Boys are going to

148
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Y're not ruining this for me. Man, listen

149
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: to church Man, the guy who wanted to see double

150
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: G two weeks in the row. Now he's talking about

151
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Heineken and go out there and look look decent, and

152
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: then the next week he had come out there and

153
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: not look so good because they weren't expecting to play

154
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: against them. They had no take. Listen if if if

155
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: last week, and as an example or vision for anything,

156
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: mcclara will find the mismatch on that Philadelphia Eagle secondary,

157
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: all right, so Alex Smith will be able to push

158
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: it down the field just a little bit. And when

159
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: when they were on that role, their offense was able

160
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: to put up some points even though that Alex Smith

161
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: was just dumping it down. He was maximizing the skills

162
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: of mckissic and and Gibson. And we saw that when

163
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: they when they brought it here to Dallas, they it

164
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: was it was dumb down. But they were making big

165
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: games out of those plays. And that's the way that

166
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: they were. They were winning those games. They were Dinking

167
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: and Duncan, they were moving the ball down the field,

168
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: chewing up the clock, and then they were playing good defense.

169
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: And even without Alex Smith, that good defense and that

170
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: dinking and Duncan with Dwayne Haskins on the field, had

171
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: them in the game versus Carolina. So I think it'll

172
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: be a, you know, a tough match up for Philly. Sure,

173
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: it seems to me like you floating towards like you

174
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: floating towards uh, Phillip plueing this one out, mccraig. How

175
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: from that, No, I said that Giftson is gonna be

176
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: more healthy, mclard's gonna be back, Alex Smith to be

177
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: healthier than than he would have been last week. No,

178
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: No Haskins And they're actually really playing for something, and

179
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: they're going to play for their coach. So I think

180
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: that they have the edge on Philly. We know Phillies

181
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: turning Phillies turning the football over way too much, just

182
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: just way too much in Church. Here's the thing about

183
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: the offense. And I see where you're coming from. But

184
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: you're not happy with that defense. You you know you

185
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: can win this thing with two touchdowns and chicking a

186
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: bunch of field goals. I go back to what Washington

187
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: did to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. It was dink

188
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: and dunk City. It was really more of, hey, look,

189
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: we're just not going to be ourselves. We'll play competitive,

190
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: conservative football and allow our defense to keep us in

191
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: this thing. And I think that's basically the same thing

192
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: that I would I expect against Philadelphia. Okay, they're not

193
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: gonna ask Alex Smith to come out here and throw

194
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: the ball like Patrick Mahomes because he can't do it.

195
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: But Kenny throws some swing passes out here to Gibson. Yeah,

196
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: can he hit McLaren on a slant route and just hope,

197
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: you know, your defense can can get a sack or

198
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: two and maybe Chase Sham causes a fumble and you

199
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: get the ball to thirty and maybe you're kicking the

200
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: field goal and get it. Tell. I mean, that's the

201
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: kind of game that I'm expecting from Washington to play.

202
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: The other side of it is can I Can I

203
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: trust Philadelphia not to turn the football over? Can I

204
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: trust their head coach to run the football? But I

205
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: just I'm telling you I don't trust Philly. And this

206
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: week watching it in person, I was shocked at how

207
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: badly they played after the first quarter. And that's where

208
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: this whole thing comes for me. Man, That's what scares me.

209
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: Dougie p just has to get out of his own way.

210
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: If Peterson's able to get out of his own way

211
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: and we're able to run an offense like they did

212
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: against the Saints, I mean the Saints have a similar

213
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: front seven as Washington. They get after the quarterback group.

214
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: The linebackers are side line of sideline, so they have

215
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: a similar defense when it comes to the front seven,

216
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: is Washington. We gotta take that game plan that we

217
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: had against the Saints and take it to Washington. Good

218
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: option Green, Miles sanders a lot, and I think we

219
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: can pull something out. Church. Where's this we who is wet?

220
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: If they had it would be on it would now fly.

221
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: Eagles fly for a reason, you know. And this is

222
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: the thing we're you know, we're sitting here on this

223
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: podcast talking about, you know, hoping a bad football team

224
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: will do something good, that hey, they'll probably figure it

225
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: out this last week. I mean, that's what That's what

226
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: you're asking for. Church. You're asking for a team that's

227
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: frustrating its own fan base, and then the owners like,

228
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm wonner do what I'm doing

229
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: with this coaching staff. I mean, you're asking them that

230
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna actually figure it out, get it right in

231
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: a game of that map. Y'all thought the same thing

232
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: when I told y'all to Dallas Cowboys was going to

233
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: turn this around. Y'all told me, oh, man, what are

234
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: you talking about. There's no proof of this. They didn't

235
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: win two games in three years. And now we're on

236
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: the edge of the playoffs. We're on the edge to

237
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs, so it can happen. It can happen right now.

238
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: It was. It was true, and we keep talking about

239
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: them digging and duncan. I'm just going to remind you,

240
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: guys of what Gibson did when he came in here

241
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: running the ball against the Cowboys. Zeke had a hundre

242
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,599
Speaker 1: yards against Philly last week. I think that was his

243
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: first one hundred yard game and I don't know how long,

244
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: So no, I'm saying, and in a long time. That's

245
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: the first one hund of yard game in a very

246
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: long time. And then now, yeah, so they're going to

247
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: go up against the team who's getting a healthy running back,

248
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: quarterback with explosive guy like Gibson and the kissing. I

249
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: just think they're going to be too much. And I look,

250
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm a Cowboys fan, Barry, all right, So don't let

251
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: the podcast fool you. It's it's it's as much as

252
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: I would like for you to take me to Nick

253
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: and Sam's and pay for my entire meal, I am

254
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: still rooting for the Cowboys, but I have to be realistic,

255
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: like I said, because my feelings were hurt so much

256
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season that I just got

257
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: to be realistic with this man. Here's my bets to say. Look,

258
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: Philly is probably not going to pull it out against Washington,

259
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: and we're probably going to pull it out against New

260
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: York and that's gonna be heartbreaking for us. But we

261
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: ended a season on a good note. And I'm with

262
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: you mc McCray. I'm sitting here with you. I think

263
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are going to win against the Giants. The

264
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys will do their part. But as Nate Newton talked

265
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: about on Talking Cowboys, you're now at this point or

266
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: hanging with the boys, You're now at this point in

267
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: time where your fate is in someone else's hands. And

268
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: that's just a really you know, you're gonna fly home,

269
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: uh you know, from from from New York or she say,

270
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: New Jersey. You fly from Jersey and sit around here,

271
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: come back home and turn on the TV and know

272
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do. And you're relying on a

273
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: bad football team with a coaching staff that's made some

274
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: you know, interesting decisions here. That that's that's rolling the dice, man,

275
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: that's that's real hard and Church you're now going to say,

276
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: you believe these dudes are gonna muster up something that

277
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: they had against the Saints that things showed us since Okay,

278
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: that's just I think it's possible. You're you're right, you

279
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: are You're completely right. You are completely right. It is tough.

280
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: It is tough, and then the loss of Fletcher Cox

281
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: makes it even tougher, and I hope and I pray

282
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: they do not walk number thirty eight out there. He

283
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: doesn't get a name, he just gets number thirty eight.

284
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: Whoever for Philipoli that court, he just gets number. Do

285
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: not march him out there, because if they do, they're

286
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: gonna be going straight at him. They're gonna find Terry

287
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: mcclaure and they're gonna say, hey, wherever thirty eight is,

288
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: just match him McLure. You know it's usually opposite, but

289
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: whatever thirty eight is, they're gonna send McLaurin that way.

290
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: So please, Philly, do not march that guy out there.

291
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: And if you do, do straight double coverage vis them

292
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: like a punt. I mean, just do not let them crazy.

293
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: We need you, Philly, we need Church Church. Do you

294
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: agree that now, when you're playing against the top defense

295
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: that now has three four weeks of film on Jalen Hursts,

296
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: that this would be a different game? Does that? Does

297
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: that make you nervous at all that that New Orleans

298
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: came in they're playing against Jalen Hurts. I think they

299
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: didn't have Michael Thomas, already didn't have Drew Brees, and

300
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: it was the first time that the teams are really

301
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: seeing him, and the same thing happened with Arizona. Now

302
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: you got real tape on this guy, and you've seen

303
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: teams a team be able to stop him and get

304
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: some interceptions off of them and seeing what really can

305
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: confuse him and cause him to make these mistakes. And

306
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: now you're going up against the Washington football team's defense,

307
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: who's been able to create this type of stuff all season.

308
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: I think that also makes nervous, makes Feelly a little

309
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: bit nervous as well. I'm nervous. I ain't gonna lie

310
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: to you. I'm nervous, man, I mean, especially after that

311
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: performance we saw down in an AT and T Stadium

312
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: and we don't have half of the front seven that

313
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: that Washington has. So I'm a little nervous. But hey,

314
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: it's too late to back down. Now we're in this playoffs, man, Philly,

Speaker 1: do your thing. So you said, so, you said, Randy,

Speaker 1: the time for a commercial. I didn't say that. I

322

391
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: That's the first time hearing about it. Church. They would

392
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: they were an interview on us like that, So then't Yeah,

393
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: that's true, that's what it was. Yeah, you're right, we

394
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: would have never heard about this. You know how you

395
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: might knew he is you might knew he is man.

396
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,920

397
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: over there, let's let's go. That's crazy. That is best

398
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: say this. I'm gonna say that. This is This is

399
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: one thing about Church I get no credit for. Church

400
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: was a rookie. When Church is a rookie. I was

401
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: out there beating the chest where we talked about like guys,

402
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: we thought we're gonna make the team. Guy picked Romo

403
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: because I remember talking to Terence Newman when Romo was

404
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: it's true that day and he knew had played against

405
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer and Tony Romo at Kansas State. He said,

406
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: Tony Rome is the Carson Palmer small school quarterbacks. All

407
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: that okay, that's guy's gonna make a team Church with

408
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: the undrafted guys I pick and make the team, make team.

409
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: You know that's true, that's true. But hey, but hey,

410
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: that's but you're right. I mean, look right, this award

411
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: is normally going to people who are are are guys.

412
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: You go to a whole lot and and also they

413
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: like that they'll talk a lot. Here's where Ezekiel Elliott

414
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: really stands out. After a game, when you go on

415
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys locker room and they had let you in.

416
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: Ezekiel is right there at his locker, ready to go.

417
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: Almost always, I mean nine out of ten games he's

418
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: right there. And if he's not there, he's coming in

419
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: pretty quick. So he'll answer. He's accessible, which all all

420
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: bad people like. Um, he's accessible. He uh, you know,

421
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: he answers the questions and you know, even if they're

422
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: not always questions, he wants to answer. He answers the questions.

423
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: And I said, biggest thing is the guy is a

424
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: consistent dude, and people have appreciation for that. Dak has

425
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: been that same way. So yes, guys who who are

426
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: in their normal rotation, your quarterbacks, you're running back, those

427
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: guys are definitely gonna be dudes at the media, you know, Selex.

428
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: But like I said, Jeremy Mitzi, you know he was there.

429
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: That's true, Spear, that's true. So um you know, Daz,

430
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean they've got John Kitler won it won you

431
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: you know John won it so um so so, but

432
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: you're right, Danny. We do not seek out special teams guys.

433
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: Very often we do not. We do not, so I

434
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, and when we do seek you out is

435
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: after you know, something happened. Yeah, so what happened here? Guys?

00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,280

Speaker 1: up cutting him and then went on to the Jets

456
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: and had a nice career there, and then he fell

457
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: off um New England and brought him back and he

458
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: was kicking up there for a little bit. To me,

459
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: this kicking thing happens in cycles. Man. I was aw

460
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: young Way Coo of Atlanta. He makes the Pro Bowl.

461
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: They sent him out there for a kick to tie

462
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: it against the Chiefs and he hooks it right. Uh

463
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: you know, and he had a good year. But when

464
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: he first started with the Chargers, dude couldn't make anything.

465
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: So I mean, this kicking thing, is it truly is?

466
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: It goes, it go up, and it's like golf. You're

467
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 1: here for a bit, you here the runner and then

468
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: you know it humbles you. But and this just maybe

469
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 1: toward the end for Dan. I'll say, this guy's had

470
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: an incredible career coming out of Oklahoma State. I remember

471
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: the kicking battle he was in over the Alamo Dome

472
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: in San Antonio. Was him, it was Kay or Bath

473
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: and it was another guy and then dude ended up

474
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: winning it and kicked very well for a long time.

475
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, this this is probably it for him. I

476
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: definitely don't think he'll be back in Minnesota. But that

477
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: kicking game, man, it comes and goes. Bro It's hard,

478
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: It's hard. To see. We've been spoiled. We've been spoiled

479
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: by the adamnitaries of the world. I gotta listen. I

480
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: gotta ask the church just you brought it up, because

481
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: now I can't think of a guy's name. Tampa Bay

482
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: drafted a kicker I want to say, was the second

483
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: Florida State and Roberto Aguayo, Roberto Aguayo or the state

484
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: and he couldn't make a kick. He was terrible. And

485
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: this is what I've seen outside of Sebastian Janikowski, who

486
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: went in the first round. What I've seen is when

487
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: they draft these kickers that high, there's just so much

488
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: pressure and you're also I mean, here's the time when

489
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: you're actually for a guy like me. You're at training

490
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: camp focusing on a kicker. Normally we don't even know

491
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: who do due is. We don't pay attention to that

492
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: high were were on you? And then he goes to

493
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. So you already a dude who was a

494
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: legend at Florida State, you're part of a national championship team,

495
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: You're they're playing with Jameis Winston. They take you this

496
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: high and band it's on you, and then the general

497
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: manager Jason Light traded up for the kicker, so there

498
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: was more pressure. Man, who trade up for a kicker? Um?

499
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: And it's crazy. Meanwhile, I look at the punter over

500
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: at Seattle, Michael Dickinson. Here's a guy who was a

501
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: fantastic All American punter at Texas. He was so good

502
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 1: he left early. I got him going pro. They take

503
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: him in the fifth round. He was everything for Seattle

504
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: that he was in Texas. And because he's a fifth

505
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: round guy, you know, you know, and he came out,

506
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, handling his business from jump, nobody said anything.

507
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: So it's it's a it's a tough thing, man. I

508
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: would definitely not recommend trying to draft a specialist as

509
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: a kicker second round because you just put so much

510
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: pressure on people just talking about it, even a third

511
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: round guy. I've seen some of these punners going to

512
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: third round and it's just it's just a lot of pressure, man.

513
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: So I would not be trying to spend the first, second,

514
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: third round a guy like that, who who did Tampa

515
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: think's gonna pick up that kicker? If nobody? And I'm

516
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: gonna lie man as a player as a foo as

517
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: a player, man, I was so mad I'm talking about

518
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: in twenty ten my draft, there was at least four

519
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: or five kickers and punters drafted, and I went under.

520
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: I was so hot, man, I was one of the

521
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: most bad I've ever been in my life. But how's

522
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 1: a kicker and a punter getting drafted and I'm over

523
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: here sitting on the bench. Man, it was Yeah, that

524
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: worked out for you, bro, Man, it didn't work out

525
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: in the plan. You would have ended up on some team.

526
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: It might have not played out the same for you.

527
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: You know, this is very true. This is very true.

528
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: And I'll say this. You gotta understand on draft day

529
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: there are a lot there are a lot more mistakes

530
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: made than it hits. Okay, there's a lot more missus,

531
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: just a lot more misses on draft day than than hits.

532
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: And and we talk about the hits, because you know,

533
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: that's the thing to talk about, But the amount of missus,

534
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: like Jason Lights training up for a kicker, you know

535
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: that that does. You know that that's the crazy stuff.

536
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: But for him, here's a guy that somehow hooked his

537
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: way into ownership and they continue to buy what he

538
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: does and what he sells. But usually, you know, there's

539
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: a lot of miss I remember when a Doma can

540
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: Sue became a free agent in Detroit and Nick Fairley

541
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: became a free agent the same year. So here are

542
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: two defensive tackles that are going out the window. And

543
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: here's Detroit with an opportunity to take Aaron Donald needing

544
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle. What is there? Gm Martin May who

545
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: does he drafts tight end Eric Ibrom And I'm shaking up,

546
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: why are you getting the offense? Plus Matt Stafford doesn't

547
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: want to throw to the tight end anyway. This guy's

548
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: always trying to go deep and you pass on it. Donald.

549
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean we see stuff like this all the time.

550
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: Or Doug Whaley. Doug Whaley trades up for Sammy Watkins,

551
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: give us up a number, what to get Sammy Watkins?

552
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: And then who's drafted about three or four picks later,

553
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior. I mean, there's a lot of misses

554
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: that happened in this league, man, a lot. So you know, Church,

555
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: when you talk about, hey, how does this happen? Because

556
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: people don't do a lot of good work. Okay, there's

557
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people missing, just straight missing. It's hard

558
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: and you know, and also I don't want to beat

559
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: up people too much. It's hard. It's hard to pick players. Man,

560
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to hit. It is hard to hit. It's

561
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: easy to miss. It hard to hit. And then also

562
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: what's to fit? How many guys church in mccrad? How

563
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: many guys do you know? And if you've been around,

564
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: you're like, man, this guy's in the wrong scheme here.

565
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: Ain't working for him. This they're asking this player to

566
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: do something they can't not do. A lot happens a lot.

567
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: This is true watching it. I'm watching it this year. Now, okay,

568
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: go ahead, Then what happened? And so when you see that,

569
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: what happens? We look at the player, We blame the player.

570
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: We say the player ain't no good. This is I mean,

571
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: that's what we do. I'm sitting around here looking at

572
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: Laton vanderst this year and I'm saying, I don't think

573
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: this guy's a middle linebackers. That's not what you drafted

574
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: him to do. You turn on his tape and you say, hey,

575
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: what did you like about this guy? When he plays

576
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: best football? It wasn't a middle linebacker. It makes you

577
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: shake your head and it can be detrimental. Marcus Spears

578
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: is a guy that I love. I mean, I love

579
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: swagg Man. Swaggo is my guy. The biggest disservice ever

580
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: happened to him was being drafted by Dallas Cowboys, because

581
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: he went from being a defensive end at LSU that

582
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: was rushing the pass. Was a heck of a good

583
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: football player, National champion. He comes here and Bill Parcells

584
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: wants him taking all blocks. He's not able to do

585
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: what he does, and so his career, in my opinion,

586
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: by playing a three to four never put him in

587
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: a position to do the things that we just saw

588
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: him do at LSU. Not that he had a bad career,

589
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: I just don't believe. I just believe had he been

590
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: in a four three system and they put him out

591
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: there on the edge, man Swago could have had a

592
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: lot more Saxon and been a Pro Bowl play. That's

593
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: what happened. You know, you know, I'm gonna hop on

594
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: the LSU guys man. Same thing happened to Glenn Dorsey,

595
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: Same thing happened to Tyson Jackson. Indeed, I say the

596
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: same thing happened to Morris Clayborne. He came here as

597
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: a man, the man guy, and Church was in the

598
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: in the locker room and watched this happened where you

599
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: didn't have to think about anything except guarding the person

600
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: in front of you. Then they started throwing cover two,

601
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: covered three, swaps, you know, all type of crazy stuff

602
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: in there. And then it was like, what's wrong with him?

603
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you mean? You watched them in college?

604
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: They told Mota go line up in front of this receiver,

605
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: covering him and make sure he doesn't make any catches.

606
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: And he did that, and then you brought him to

607
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: hear and Rob Ryan had them all doing you know,

608
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: if everybody here, it was spending. So I know Mose

609
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: was as a rookie and that and I think that

610
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: ruined it for him, especially for his rookie year. You're

611
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: right looking at the Sam Darnold now with the Jets,

612
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: here's a guy that was in USC and this guy was,

613
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: this guy could perform. I feel like they've broke in

614
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: with the Giants. So so scheme fits a lot. So yeah,

615
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean Glenn Dorsey at LS, she was

616
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: them talk about the bad and you know, go to Kansasy,

617
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: all right, man, plug up some holes, like what do

618
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: we do? Well? Remember watching the game Albert Haynesworth a

619
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars to go plug a tackle? Who gives

620
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars to a nervous tackle? But this

621
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: is what teams do. Man more people making mistakes than

622
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: they're out here hitting on guys. Let's take a break, um,

623
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: what is the credit? Who do we give credit to

624
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: for the defensive turnaround? And then I'll answer whatever question

625
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: it is that Danny McCrae wants me to answer. Here

673
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: Danny mccraig. Danny, what question is that you want me

674
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: to answer? Listen? Listen. Two days ago I asked a

675
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: very simple question, right Church made made the assumption and

676
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: a prediction that I thought was wildly absurd. And he said,

677
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys go to the playoffs, then they're going to

678
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And I said, all right, right, if

679
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: that's if you Nostradallas and this stuff really does happen

680
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: because you calling it out, Andy Dalton takes this team

681
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl? Do you sign Dak Prescott next

682
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: year to a forty plus million dollar deal? Hell nah?

683
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: And that's the question for me, Yes, yes, for you,

684
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, he's getting watching money. Yeah. And y'all

685
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: just talked about how hard it was to draft people

686
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: and how how big of missus that the GM's in

687
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,479
Speaker 1: the NFL do and y'all want to sink all that money.

688
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: You know, how much pressure is gonna be on Will

689
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: McClay to hit defensively in this draft? Man? Oh man,

690
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: here comes eight and Nate ten and six Church. If

691
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: it's anything that I've seen this year, I mean, first

692
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: of all, you guys, you know, you guys know I'm

693
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: always I've always been a that guy, but I this

694
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: year solidified it even more to me that you're gonna

695
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: pay to get this guy. First off, it's the organization's

696
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: problem and fault for not having this deal done. I

697
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,479
Speaker 1: firmly once they want so Wentz got paid and Golf

698
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: got paid that they just needed to sign sign him

699
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: up to the same check. If you signed up to

700
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: the same check, you'd have done it. But there were

701
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: people at that time. I don't think he's worth thirty

702
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: million dollars. They're trying to sit up and get some

703
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: deal for twenty five or twenty eight. They were wrong.

704
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: Should have signed him too that. So what have we

705
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: seen between Wins and Golf. Those guys aren't even worth

706
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: that money. Okay, they're not even worth that money. I

707
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: was on Twitter yesterday, are not arguing but but debating

708
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: with a lady about Deshaun Watson making the Pro Bowl

709
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: because Ryan Tannehill was upset saying he should have made it.

710
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, so, so who you're gonna kick off?

711
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, Patrick Mahomes. No, you know he's gonna stay

712
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: on the team. You know, Deshaun Watson made He wasn't

713
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: on a winning team. But I think we all saw

714
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was a one man gang out there offensive

715
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: line South Park. You get rid of DeAndre Hoggins. This

716
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: dude is out here at Black Moses out here. Okay,

717
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: this guy he got part seas trying to get the

718
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: team and making them. Okay, what have we seen when

719
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott went down? Everything Everything fell apart, bro every

720
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: ear thing, I mean, but first offs. But but we're

721
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: talking about it. If they go to the super Bowl

722
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: like it fell apart. But but we the assumption is

723
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: they make the super Bowl, you have to figure some

724
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: things out. And I just said it. I'm paying Dak

725
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: forty million. Either goes oh no, because you know what,

726
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: because if they if the Cowboys end up making the

727
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: super Bowl with this roster, imagine what happens when I

728
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: put in a difference maker like that. That would be

729
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: like the Nets getting That's when the Nets got Kevin Durant.

730
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: This year, were gonna bring in Kevin Durant. Okay, bab,

731
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: you're about to see something happen here. You're about to

732
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: see a difference maker. Dak Prescott is a difference maker

733
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: at a position where not many guys are not difference makers.

734
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that's truly exposed Jared Golf

735
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: this year. This guy's not a difference maker. Carson Wentz

736
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: is not a difference maker, and you need a difference maker.

737
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: To me, if you're going to win. And the Cowboys,

738
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: because they tried to be cheap and save some money,

739
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: are now gonna have to pay forty million dollars for

740
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. That's and they're committee to do it, even

741
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: if you go to Super Bowl. I'm paying Dak Prescott.

742
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: I agree with you, which your first take when you

743
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: say it's it's all the organization's fault when they could

744
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: have had just got signed up. I agree. I think

745
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: I think Dak is a phenomenal quarterback. I just don't

746
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: think he's worth taking your whole cap and ruining it.

747
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: I just don't think so. I think you can take

748
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: that money, you can get a quarterback, and I think

749
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: you can take that money and put it towards the defense,

750
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: and I think will be better situated going forward. But

751
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: if we sink all our brand, it's a Dak Prescott

752
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: and he, like I said, I think he's a phenomenal quarterback,

753
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: but I just don't think he can carry a team

754
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: by himself like the San Watson can. I just I

755
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: just you know, it's it's it's tough for me, it's

756
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: tough for me to sink all that in there, knowing

757
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: how bad our defense is, and it's all assumes that

758
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott comes back and he's healthy. And you also

759
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: have to assume that we go to the super Bowl,

760
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: which I don't think it's happening. But you know this,

761
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: this is just one of those one of those fantasy

762
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: type things. So you know, I feel, I don't know,

763
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: I think the leverage has lost a little bit if

764
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: if Andy Dalton somehow takes this thing to the super Bowl. Now,

765
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: and keep in mind, I am a Andy fan. Got

766
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: to cover Andy at TCU, so you know a lot

767
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: of ways got to see this this kid grow up.

768
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm an Andy fan. I clearly remember when Andy was signed,

769
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: how many of the Dak Hayters were saying, you know what, man,

770
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: this guy just as good, he could do that. I mean,

771
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of those What did we see

772
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: from Andy Dalkon? We see buried Church out here trying

773
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: to throw the guy out for a dude who was

774
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: playing Hey, I apologize, I apologize, right so, and I

775
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: think Andy Dalton is good. Okay, I think Andy Dalton

776
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: is good. And in Church, you would ask, what about

777
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: Andy Dalt's future? I think Chicago, Indianapolis, San Francisco, New England, Denver, Washington.

778
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: These are places that I expect Andy Dalton to possibly

779
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: be playing next year because these are these are organizations

780
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: that there will probably have some quarterback needs and he

781
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: could fit in there. But Dak Prescott, in my opinion,

782
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: raises the level of other people, and that's what you

783
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: pay a franchise guy for. I thought Ezekiel Elliott was

784
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do something and show us something

785
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott being out, Like, okay, hey, put it

786
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: back on twenty one. That's what abody say, it's all

787
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: about twenty one. Well, guess what we saw. It didn't matter.

788
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,479
Speaker 1: It didn't matter. Now it's not all twenty one's fault

789
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: because his offensive line is nowhere near what it needs

790
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: to be. Okay, so I'm not putting up but but

791
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: but there was this assumption, Hey man, we go got

792
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: Andy Dalkon would be just fine and just give it

793
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: to twenty one. And no, Dak Prescott is a difference

794
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: making quarterback and in this league, and you see how

795
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: bad the quarterback play is, that's what it's going to

796
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: cost you, okay, Church, and you can set up and

797
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: say it's gonna wreck your cat. You know what Houston

798
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: find Houston decided we're gonna wreck our cat. We're gonna

799
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: do what we're gonna do. And there's somebody you see

800
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: what's record. But is that what is that the shot off?

801
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: Where would they be without him? I mean yeah, let

802
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: me ask you, do you think do you think that

803
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott with his bat let's just say our defense

804
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: is just as bad next year? Do you think Dak

805
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: Prescott can carry this team to the playoffs and even

806
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: into the super Bowl. Let's just say that to the

807
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: Super Bow, because anybody's tried, are just going to the playoffs?

808
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: You said you know, you said it yourself. Jerry Jones

809
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: is getting up there in age and he wants a

810
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Do you think Dak Prescott can carry a

811
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: team all the way to the super Bowl with a

812
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: defense being historically bad. That's a tough task for any

813
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: That's a tough task for any guy in his league.

814
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: But I'll say it this way. I believe Dak. Signing

815
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and having him as your quarterback gives you

816
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: your best opportunity to get to a super Bowl. I

817
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: believe it does. I go back to a Joe Flacco

818
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: and I'm reading a book right now by John Fineteine

819
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: called The Quarterback, and just going back to Joe Flacco

820
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: and his evolution and what he's done there. If Flacco,

821
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: I thought I had a pretty good thing. And you

822
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: guys know this is playing in the league. What you

823
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: want to do is get yourself in a position, get

824
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: yourself an opportunity, you know, consistently, make the playoffs, and

825
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: see where you can go. I believe Dak Prescott with

826
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: a consistent run of five or six years, if he's

827
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: there starting quarterback, I believe they can possibly get to

828
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. I got some other management issues about

829
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: how they do things on this football team, but I'm

830
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: not worried about the quarterback. I'll pay the quarterback. Okay,

831
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: I'll pay the quarterback. They're also hedging their bets as

832
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: his TV deal is going to go up. I know this.

833
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: TV deals for the NFL rarely ever go down. Jerry

834
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: Jones made sure that that's how they moved the NFL

835
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: from CBS to Fox. So signing Dak Prescott the forty

836
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: million dollars is going to be what they have to do.

837
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: I do believe in Dak Prescott. This defense, Yes, it

838
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: has to get fixed. And the biggest thing is right now,

839
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: I gotta get a defensive coordinator in here who can

840
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: at least tell me what can I do with some

841
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: of these personnel Guys? Who do I say and who

842
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: do I get rid of? But you're going to commit

843
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: to the quarterback right now, you're seeing in this league

844
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: what happens when you don't have a guy worth a salt.

845
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: Look at the Eagles, look at the Rams. How about Cleveland?

846
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: Right now, Cleveland used a number one pick on Baker Mayfield.

847
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: They're going to have to make a choice here in

848
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: about two years or whether they gon pick up this

849
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: fifthyear option. To do they give this guy thirty million

850
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: dollars A here, look at Jimmy Garondbolo in San Francisco.

851
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy took him to a Super Bowl, and they're like,

852
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna bring this guy back.

853
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: It's hard to find competent quarterback play. You got competent

854
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: quarterback play, and Dak Prescott pay the note for forty

855
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: million dollars versus going off into the abyss and hoping

856
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: you've got something, you know, your Mitchell Trubisky away from

857
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: trying to say what do we do to ourselves? Look

858
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: at Philadelphia right now, they don't even know what they're

859
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: gonna do next year. I mean, think of what the

860
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: problem Philadelphia has next year that Dallas does not, what

861
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: Washington has in terms of a problem that Dallas is not.

862
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: That the Giants has a problem that Dallas does not

863
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: if they signed Dak Presco. But Dallas got one of

864
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: the biggest problems out of all those teams, and that's

865
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: their defense. Like when we're talking about you know, they

866
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: have all these quarterbacks, but how are we gonna stop

867
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: anybody from scoring? Mc crae, what do you think about this? Mccraige.

868
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: I think this is crazy. I think that y'all are

869
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: like the one the question was, if Andy Dalton takes

870
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: this team to the Super Bowl, what do you think

871
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: about signed in Dak Prescott? And then it's like, then

872
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's gone. Think about this. Andy Dalton would have

873
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: had to win four games in a row plus maker

874
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: run to the Super Bowl to get there, all right,

875
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: So we just acting like Andy Dalton can't can't be

876
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback here? If he, you know, happens to do that.

877
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: That's why I say I think the leverage falls a

878
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: little bit, because, yeah, you can say Andy Dalton might

879
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: go to Chicago and this other place. He could also

880
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: stay another us. If he's your super Bowl, if he's

881
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: your super Bowl guy, if he if he was getting

882
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: super Bowl, if he goes to the super Bowl, he

883
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: gets the Trip Dulford treat. That's what will happened to him.

884
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: They'll say thank you, but we need to approve upon

885
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: this position and trip Dulford got showed in the door

886
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: and they brought it Elvis grback in Baltimore. But but Jerry,

887
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: Jerry's already told you they're bringing it back. Mike McCartney

888
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: said to day talking about Dak Prescott. He's here every day,

889
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: is a big part of our football team. He's a

890
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: big part of our future. So were having these conversations

891
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: about something the organization has already told us they're bringing

892
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: Prescott back. So if they're bringing it back, they're paying

893
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: the forty million dollars. Note NUIs they told you there

894
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: was gonna pay him two years ago. They lay they

895
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: can say whatever they want to about that. They can

896
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: say whatever they want to. They haven't done it. Okay,

897
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: And you also you're also talking about you're talking about

898
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 1: a guy who was coming off a really, really bad injury.

899
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: So you have to assume a lot of different things. Right,

900
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: Let's let's says he's behind the eight ball. When when

901
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: you get back into training camp, then what do you do?

902
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: You don't have any Doughton any before you go out

903
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: with double G. Okay, yes, great quick. I love that

904
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: because I asked a friend of mine who's an agent

905
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: and who signed big deals in this league and worked

906
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: with a lot of quarterbacks. I asked him about that,

907
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: and he told me, he said, look, this league is

908
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: so starved that he'll get If the Cowboys don't want

909
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: to pay that money, he'll get it on the free

910
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: agent market because other people want that guy so much.

911
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: And then he pointed back his head, Lekadur Bricks. Here's

912
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: a guy that had a bad shoulder, that flunked, flunked

913
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: the test in Miami and New Orleans still went out

914
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: there and wrote a checkpool. He said, Dak Prescott should

915
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 1: get paid. He said, he said, that's just how desperate

916
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: people in this league are. And he said, look, how

917
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,479
Speaker 1: much money Kirk Cousins, he's getting And he said, who's

918
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: a better quarterback, Dak Prescott Kirk Cousins. He said, what

919
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: would you who would you want to get money too?

920
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: You said, would you rather pay money to a hurt

921
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott or a healthy Kirk Cousins like you know Kurt.

922
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 1: So so he's going k did not get paid in Washington.

923
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: Though Kurt didn't get paid in Washington, they let him

924
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: move on and go to Minnesota. All right, So so

925
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott will he will get his bread, he will

926
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: get his bread. I'm just I'm just saying that this

927
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: hypothetical day we have with the Super Bowl, I'm not

928
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: sure to be here. Oh I'm glad you said that

929
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: about about Kirk Cousins. And once again and reading the

930
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: book Quarterback by John Fines, and he just went over

931
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: this um this part in the book where Daniel Snyder

932
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: and especially Bruce Allen, they didn't believe in Kirk Cousins.

933
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: He was never a guy. They were sold on the

934
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: cowboys here are singing a different tune. And Stephen Jones

935
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: talked about the number of years Dak wants four, they

936
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: want five, so that that in itself puts him in

937
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: a different position than kirk Cousins. They never made him

938
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: a real offer. They never made him a real offer.

939
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: And Washington, they've made an offer here and it's come

940
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: down to the years. So there in lies, there in

941
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: lies a difference there about about the situation. They franchised

942
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: them two years in the row they sacrifice, they capped

943
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: twice for kirk Cousins and then and then let him

944
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: get out of there. So I mean it's different. But

945
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: like I said, Dallas has been singing this soon for

946
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: two years and they still haven't gotten this man paid.

947
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: They know what, they know how many years he want.

948
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: So if he still wants four years next year, you're

949
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: still gonna do the same thing. Well, I'll tell you what.

950
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: Here's what we do know. They're running out of chances.

951
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they running out of chance. They they're gonna

952
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: have to really literally sign a contractor get off the

953
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: pot because they're running out of chances. You know, this

954
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: is where they're at. So we'll know here, we'll know

955
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 1: here one or two years what they you know, they'll

956
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: have to really back it up here in the next

957
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: one or two years for sure. All Right, we're running

958
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: late here we're running late. We'll get well, we'll say

959
