Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This is the Players Lounge broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: World headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 2: Now your hosts.
Speaker 1: Darry Church, Heckma Harrison, and newly Scrugs.
Speaker 3: Players Lounge for the one in oh Dallas Cowboys right
Speaker 3: here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. You know the
Speaker 3: team is Heckma Harrison, former Cowboys safety Barry Church Scruggs.
Speaker 3: We are onto Week two as the Cowboys get ready
Speaker 3: for the home opener Jerry World against the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 3: So the Saints went out there whooping up on Carolina. Yes,
Speaker 3: the man's name Bryce, Bryce, She was the first one.
Speaker 4: I'd pick you gout, you know, get you.
Speaker 2: A nobody's gonna cry for you.
Speaker 3: I feel bad for him from the standpoint. Is the
Speaker 3: guy that they passed on you for. It's not just
Speaker 3: playing well. He looks like the next type of the
Speaker 3: next batchup quarterback star in the league.
Speaker 4: That therein lies the problems like but that you.
Speaker 5: Know, I asked a question about those two and people
Speaker 5: have made a reference to those two guys in their
Speaker 5: draft class and it seems to me like one guy
Speaker 5: fell to a better situation.
Speaker 2: You know, when you think about c. J.
Speaker 5: Strauff going to Houston, the offensive line is there, the
Speaker 5: defense is obviously there. And I'm not saying that Bryce
Speaker 5: Young was in that system he'd have more success, but
Speaker 5: he sure would have more weapons. And so, I mean,
Speaker 5: I think his struggle in Carolina is going to be documented.
Speaker 5: But I mean, offensive line wise, defense wise, they're just
Speaker 5: a bad team.
Speaker 2: Yes, ugly, Yeah.
Speaker 3: It surely doesn't help out when you have the work
Speaker 3: when you're the worst team in the league, but your
Speaker 3: first round pick has been traded away. I mean, so
Speaker 3: some of that is out of his control, firing a
Speaker 3: head coach.
Speaker 4: But you know, fans don't kills, honey, Yoda do or
Speaker 4: do not?
Speaker 2: There is no t there is no.
Speaker 3: Forty seven to ten is what the Saints beat the
Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers by Saints coming in here. Dennis Allen's air
Speaker 3: head coach LdB High School. So so yeah, fun, fun,
Speaker 3: fun times there. I was out yesterday as you guys
Speaker 3: did the show. I was in Cleveland. Let me say wow,
Speaker 3: like in a good way for the atmosphere. It was
Speaker 3: first off that it was my first Browns game there
Speaker 3: since ninety five when I lived up there the w
Speaker 3: W SO so yeah, it was old stadium. Belichick was
Speaker 3: a coach. So my first man, we parked next to
Speaker 3: some people. Immediately, Man, hey have some food. Okay, don't mind, you.
Speaker 4: Know if you insist. Nobody called me out roker this time. Okay,
Speaker 4: call me out roker.
Speaker 3: But my brother ain't good and they just they're just
Speaker 3: good fans. Man, cowboy fans can't appreciate the down trottenness
Speaker 3: of this franchise. They've not won a championship since nineteen
Speaker 3: sixty four. There was no Super Bowl nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 3: Jim Brown was on the team in nineteen six. Jim
Speaker 3: Brown has passed away. I mean this is hard time.
Speaker 3: I mean, Dusty Rose at hard time leveland Brown a
Speaker 3: hard time right going, you know, winless seasons. But they
Speaker 3: are there, bro, They are there, and they hung in
Speaker 3: there as long as they could, and then they just
Speaker 3: realized that, Bro, it's time to beat this traffic.
Speaker 2: They seen this song before, seeing this dance, before.
Speaker 3: They booed him at halftime, they were all on Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 3: They're like, man, this guy's now worth the two hundred
Speaker 3: and thirty million dollars is guarantee. I mean they were
Speaker 3: on them. You know when when you lose them brilliant Trump,
Speaker 3: you trouble. But the Cowboys were that good man that
Speaker 3: they had them. I mean you think about it, the
Speaker 3: Cowboy fans had them bowing them in.
Speaker 4: There was fighting once again.
Speaker 3: Cowboy, Well, how did they get all these tickets?
Speaker 2: Stars and everywhere everywhere?
Speaker 4: I mean, man, my hotel, hotel full up.
Speaker 3: And then it was wild to see Cowboy fan with
Speaker 3: Cleveland fan.
Speaker 4: You're married together and everything. I mean, this is they
Speaker 4: do they do. They are strong, they are strong.
Speaker 3: I just kind of just shook my head one more time,
Speaker 3: like even here, even here in a place where there's
Speaker 3: really two types of fans in Northeast Ohio, the Browns
Speaker 3: fans and Sea what ye, but Cowboy.
Speaker 4: Fan to roll up on it Northeast High like that, man,
Speaker 4: like wow?
Speaker 5: I mean that should like for you, as a as
Speaker 5: a former player, which stadium that you would go to,
Speaker 5: whether it be in the NFC East, just say NFC
Speaker 5: East that you would go and they would have always
Speaker 5: the most Cowboy fans.
Speaker 6: Now, I would have to say it was either Washington, Washington.
Speaker 6: They was always house. And then we were representing New
Speaker 6: York as well. It was kind of a fifty fifty.
Speaker 6: But Washington, I mean the whole front, you know that
Speaker 6: little bowl, not the upper bowl, but the whole bottom bowl,
Speaker 6: all over the place.
Speaker 2: They traveled up there.
Speaker 3: Heck, last time I went up there, Man Ubers would
Speaker 3: come up there drop folks, so if a bunch of
Speaker 3: cowboy jerseys, and then they were tailgating with the Washington
Speaker 3: fans too.
Speaker 2: Loved well, there was like a family.
Speaker 4: It's just like wow, family showed up there.
Speaker 3: Then the most disrespectful thing I ever saw at the well,
Speaker 3: not one of the years I went up there. John
Speaker 3: Wall was still playing for for the Washington Wizards this
Speaker 3: he was the star of the team.
Speaker 4: You know, they bring the bring the dude down there
Speaker 4: for the game.
Speaker 3: They show up in the MM Smith jersey.
Speaker 2: Lebron did the same thing.
Speaker 4: Didn't but but you are on okay, you the Washington.
Speaker 2: Started the city.
Speaker 4: They make you a guest and you show up in
Speaker 4: your bro I mean we was laughing on the sideline.
Speaker 3: Bryce Harper could not go to an Eagles game wearing
Speaker 3: a cowboy jersey, even though he grew up a cowboy fan.
Speaker 4: Of Vegas.
Speaker 3: Now you switched, but you can't do that there. They
Speaker 3: will jump on you there. You know Jayleen her tried
Speaker 3: to wear Houston Astros had don't do it right.
Speaker 5: They let him retired.
Speaker 4: We retired right when you're back home.
Speaker 2: You get this one, but not in d C.
Speaker 4: Flex on the sideline of the past.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, he was on our sideline.
Speaker 4: So what I mean?
Speaker 3: Could you imagine Dirk showing up at a Cowboy game
Speaker 3: when he was the when he was the math star
Speaker 3: with a dog on Washington, Jersey right right?
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 6: Church, how would you have felt if you saw your disrespect?
Speaker 6: We brought you you. So they usually come to the
Speaker 6: locker room before them. Good luck out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man disrespected.
Speaker 4: That's a d C man. It was, it was. It
Speaker 4: was rough like that. But my takeaway.
Speaker 3: I just want to start right here, was was Mike
Speaker 3: McCarthy is not getting enough credit for what transpired there.
Speaker 3: Dak gets his contract for the game, handles it fine,
Speaker 3: Everyone's happy for him, so that drama is put to bed.
Speaker 3: But Mike lived with that all off season long. Never
Speaker 3: said one thing that besmirts the player or the organization.
Speaker 3: He stayed above it, which I think has to have
Speaker 3: mad respect in the lock for how he handled CD
Speaker 3: and how he handled that. Its busy. He said everything right.
Speaker 3: The two rookies, I was very concerned about them. Heck,
Speaker 3: I mentioned it, those rookie offensive linemen against the defensive
Speaker 3: player of the year A Miles Garrett. They did give
Speaker 3: guidance help. You didn't notice them. Dak Prescott was able
Speaker 3: to get his job done. The run game was able
Speaker 3: to do what they needed to do. I'm just looking
Speaker 3: at the new defense and what Mike Zimmer put in
Speaker 3: there that he was.
Speaker 4: Able to do his job. They were owned. Deshaun Watson
Speaker 4: looked like a shell of himself.
Speaker 3: Just to he looks like a bust at this point
Speaker 3: in time for the Cleveland Browns special teams finally returned
Speaker 3: to Tuchdam. I mean all three phases they dominated, But
Speaker 3: we're not hearing.
Speaker 4: About Mike McCarthy as a head coach.
Speaker 3: To me, I come in here, I'm just like and
Speaker 3: I didn't talk to Jerry after the game. Jerry, with
Speaker 3: all due respect forget Michael Parsons, When are you gonna
Speaker 3: take care of your head coach?
Speaker 4: Because he has this locker room playing for him. He's
Speaker 4: got everyone on the same page.
Speaker 3: The way they praised Dak afterwards, that they were these
Speaker 3: guys were all for him, So there's no divide there.
Speaker 4: He's creating church. You can speak to this. He's created
Speaker 4: a locker room where everybody is there.
Speaker 3: You were in a locker room where you know, not
Speaker 3: everybody felt the same way about the quarterback as Drew
Speaker 3: bloodsoe let that let us all know over the weekend.
Speaker 4: So what he's created. Hecma, Barry.
Speaker 3: If this guy is not here next year, I don't
Speaker 3: know where they go because he's done the heck of
Speaker 3: a job. And Game one has used to be a
Speaker 3: Jason Garrett special when they would have got beat, they
Speaker 3: did not get beat.
Speaker 4: They came out there whooped that trick man.
Speaker 2: I want to stop him. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5: You the smile on your face with Jerry when when
Speaker 5: Dak's contract was announcing, You're standing there. I'm like, look
Speaker 5: at that smile. Man, he like he already. You should
Speaker 5: have heard it on the players now first you think, right,
Speaker 5: smile says it all. Not to change the subject, but
Speaker 5: I gotta tell you it has a great That was
Speaker 5: a great picture. You standing next to Jerry and that
Speaker 5: smile on your face. But you're right, man, I think
Speaker 5: it all three phases of the game. As you mentioned,
Speaker 5: the Cowboys, you know, came out and they played, uh
Speaker 5: not like they were having to get into a rhythm.
Speaker 5: You know, first game on the season. You're used to
Speaker 5: teams kind of like a warm up period because this
Speaker 5: is like a preseason game for all intensive purposes. Starters
Speaker 5: going on exactly, so this is this is you getting
Speaker 5: a rhythm. But these guys had no rust to knock off.
Speaker 5: And the thing that I was most proud of of, man,
Speaker 5: is in that first half. You you have a twenty
Speaker 5: to three league and we've seen this team, We've seen
Speaker 5: previous coaches before blow a seventeen point lead, all right,
Speaker 5: because what are you doing?
Speaker 2: You're trying to do too much.
Speaker 5: And I thought that for Mike McCarthy, because this was
Speaker 5: truly a game that could have been easily a forty
Speaker 5: burger if you just keep your foot on the gas
Speaker 5: and keep pressing them but protecting that lead. In his
Speaker 5: interview yesterday with the media, he said something I thought
Speaker 5: that was very important. He said, you know, you know
Speaker 5: I maintained the offense. I handled the offense so on
Speaker 5: the other side of the defense. I got to have
Speaker 5: somebody that really obviously I'm paraphrasing what he said, have
Speaker 5: somebody that can also operate as a head coach and
Speaker 5: having a guy like Dan Quinn.
Speaker 2: And now you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: When you have those kinds of defensive coordinators and guys
Speaker 5: that can handle their business, and you can do what
Speaker 5: you need to do as far as making sure I
Speaker 5: protect this defense as well, you know, not going out
Speaker 5: here and airing it out. I keep the ball on
Speaker 5: the ground. And look, the second half left a lot
Speaker 5: to be desired. I mean, it was really a tail
Speaker 5: of two halves. But to me, I saw Mike McCarthy
Speaker 5: said I'm gonna protect this lead at all costs. But man,
Speaker 5: Mike was in his bag his play calling. He did
Speaker 5: not allow Dak to put the ball in harm's way.
Speaker 5: And it to me is like, Okay, sometimes you can
Speaker 5: go out there because your back is against the wall
Speaker 5: and try and do too much right out the back.
Speaker 5: He didn't do that. He protected his quarterback, he protected
Speaker 5: his offense. He played everything within the structure that he
Speaker 5: said he was going to do it and in the end,
Speaker 5: getting this thirty three to seventeen win is just indicative
Speaker 5: of him and the kind of coach that he is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike McCarthy, he's a hell of a coach. I
Speaker 2: mean we could just call Spades Bade.
Speaker 6: The man knows how to get the locker room all
Speaker 6: behind him in one units. And like you just said,
Speaker 6: everybody's playing like their hairs on fire, and everybody's playing
Speaker 6: for one another, and you love to see it.
Speaker 2: There was no selfishness in there. You know, guys, you
Speaker 2: don't slack. You know, before periods you would see guys, Oh,
Speaker 2: I gotta make this out. I gotta go up the field.
Speaker 2: I gotta get this guy.
Speaker 6: Everybody was in their lanes where they were supposed to play,
Speaker 6: playing team, whether it's defense, offense, special teams.
Speaker 2: It was a combined victory out there.
Speaker 6: So to me, Mike McCarthy deserves a ton of credit,
Speaker 6: not only forgetting this team to go out there and play,
Speaker 6: because like you said, in the past, we've seen teams
Speaker 6: come out there and either be sleepwalking or just not
Speaker 6: prepared for.
Speaker 2: The first game.
Speaker 6: His team as a total was ready and they went
Speaker 6: out there and they gave it to the Cleveland Browns. Now,
Speaker 6: there's some things here and there that you know, they
Speaker 6: got to clean up once again. The penalties were a
Speaker 6: little bit high. He had eleven penalties out there. You'd
Speaker 6: like to see this team get better all third down.
Speaker 6: I think they were four or fourteen all third down,
Speaker 6: So you'd like to see this team get a little
Speaker 6: bit better. But Dak didn't turn the ball over. The
Speaker 6: quarterback was, you know, basically protected the entire game. There
Speaker 6: was three sacks, but it was kind of just you know,
Speaker 6: for the most part of the time. For the most
Speaker 6: part of the game, Dak was cool, com and collected
Speaker 6: throughout the entire thing.
Speaker 2: Now, when we.
Speaker 6: Talk about extending and getting my man in here long term,
Speaker 6: I still think there's some questions that you know, my
Speaker 6: man needs to needs to answer, and preferably it's we're
Speaker 6: not gonna be able to see it now, but in
Speaker 6: the postseason we need to see those questions be answered.
Speaker 2: Still, in my opinion, we.
Speaker 4: Understand that this man is a hell of us coach.
Speaker 6: During the regular season, three straight seasons with twelve plus victories,
Speaker 6: That's that's not an easy feat. So I don't want
Speaker 6: to take anything away from him when it comes to that.
Speaker 6: But when it comes to the playoff performances. We all understand,
Speaker 6: we've we've been around this organization a long time. It's
Speaker 6: what you do in the postseason that that's all that
Speaker 6: really matters when it comes to the Star.
Speaker 3: So we've spoken to this before here on the show.
Speaker 3: You talk about the playoffs. Mike is dying for the
Speaker 3: sins of other people as well. And that's a part
Speaker 3: of the problem is it all gets lumped together, and
Speaker 3: you know, some ways the owner kind of gets off
Speaker 3: scott free, even though he's been here for all of it.
Speaker 3: But we blame everything on that this this.
Speaker 4: One head coach.
Speaker 3: Like now, I guess what Bill had the issues here,
Speaker 3: Jason had the issues here, Wade had It's it's been
Speaker 3: an organizational problem for a while. And that's what I
Speaker 3: kind of called out last year, say hey, look, you know, yes, Mike,
Speaker 3: Mike is the coach here, but dog gone it.
Speaker 4: After a while. We got thirty years a proof it
Speaker 4: didn't matter.
Speaker 3: Who you bring in here. We keep seeing the same
Speaker 3: old thing. And at some point in time when the
Speaker 3: playoffs come around, if I were a player and maybe
Speaker 3: Dak should go down here and call Jason Kidd and
Speaker 3: Dirk Ebitt because they all like those guys in twenty
Speaker 3: eleven went to Mark keep saying shut up, don't say
Speaker 3: anything nothing. Why are you adding fuels to the fire.
Speaker 3: I think this is no no. How about you just
Speaker 3: say nothing, say nothing. Did you know what Mark said
Speaker 3: last year during the run to get mass.
Speaker 2: Mads of the final nothing nothing.
Speaker 3: I'd love to see just one time when Jerry and
Speaker 3: Stevens said nothing, that they had to say anything at all.
Speaker 3: Just say, you know, I've got belief in our head, coach,
Speaker 3: got belief in our players that we can go where
Speaker 3: we want to go.
Speaker 4: You say that, I've just said okay, So heckma, you're correct.
Speaker 3: And so since you've been doing it your way for
Speaker 3: thirty years now and you keep finding yourself in the
Speaker 3: same land of disappointment, why not change it up and
Speaker 3: just be the dude who just you know what, Hey, guys,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna shock all of you. I'm gonna zip it.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna zip it and watch it. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: I will talk to you after our final game. Boy,
Speaker 3: wouldn't that be a great challenge? Because I'll tell you this, heckma.
Speaker 3: It was the first round series in twenty eleven when
Speaker 3: the MAVs played Portland. Everyone was picking the MAVs to
Speaker 3: get upset, even though they were the favorite team. And
Speaker 3: they went in had like a twenty point lead against
Speaker 3: the Blazers up there in Portland. I was there and
Speaker 3: Brandon roy and went off in the markets.
Speaker 4: All they came back and.
Speaker 3: It was some tough calls, and Cuban was outside the
Speaker 3: locker room.
Speaker 4: He was hot, and boy, you know we had that
Speaker 4: mic trick hot.
Speaker 2: What did you say that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, were here and he got coaches, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: and he didn't he didn't. I guess he listened to
Speaker 3: the play, but he listened to the play, but he
Speaker 3: didn't do it. And then after that it was smooth saying.
Speaker 3: They ended up winning that series, of course, and everything
Speaker 3: else was was was amazing. But I would love to
Speaker 3: see Jerry if they can get back to the just
Speaker 3: back to your point about the postseason. Hey man, why
Speaker 3: don't you just do your part and be quiet and
Speaker 3: let the players and let the coaches do with things.
Speaker 2: He is Look, Jerry is not one of the roonies.
Speaker 2: He is not you go. I mean he didn't operate
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 5: I mean there's several there are several teams in the
Speaker 5: NFL that you wouldn't have any clue who ownership is
Speaker 5: because they don't talk. You see him in the grocery store,
Speaker 5: wouldn't even know you're standing next to him. Jerry Jones
Speaker 5: is he is. He is the polarizing one. He is
Speaker 5: the one that everybody knows is the ring leader. I
Speaker 5: don't know where you were at ten o'clock Eastern Standard
Speaker 5: time when the news came out that Dak got the contract.
Speaker 5: Was nine, your time, will eleven whatever.
Speaker 3: It was working at the hotel gym. But when we
Speaker 3: got to the stadium, we all waited till we all
Speaker 3: waited for him to come out the locker room. But
Speaker 3: there's Jerry knows exactly what he's doing.
Speaker 5: Everybody's getting ready to see the Week one games coming
Speaker 5: on at twelve o'clock and then newsflash, Dak signs his
Speaker 5: deal and then everything ships from opening weekend to Jerry
Speaker 5: Jones the star. But I'm saying that has been his
Speaker 5: mo for years. He's done that with players contracts, he's
Speaker 5: done that with schedule announcements. That is who he is
Speaker 5: and it's not gonna change now. And the thing is,
Speaker 5: when you have a team, these guys have to have
Speaker 5: thick skin when it relates to the media. Barry Church,
Speaker 5: you know better than anybody that you have to and
Speaker 5: you know that it's going to be talked because you
Speaker 5: have an owner that's going to be out front the coach.
Speaker 5: He does its own television. I mean, he does his
Speaker 5: own radio show. Jerry does. How many owners and then
Speaker 5: have their own radio show. So look, the things that
Speaker 5: people complain about about Jerry and all that, just that
Speaker 5: just asks more fuel to the fire because that makes
Speaker 5: him who he is. And this team is going to
Speaker 5: have to win in spite of all of that.
Speaker 3: And heck, I come back to this and I always say,
Speaker 3: show me who's winning super Bowls operating like this?
Speaker 4: Now, Clark Hunt's not doing it.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, he's not.
Speaker 5: And I mean the luxury that the Hunt family has
Speaker 5: is one patty, you know. I mean, you could do
Speaker 5: it like that when you have some of the best
Speaker 5: playing it matter.
Speaker 2: He's the way equalize it when it comes down to
Speaker 2: all of that. So I agree with you.
Speaker 5: And and for sometimes like you look at it's like,
Speaker 5: come on, do we have to do this one more time?
Speaker 5: Like we're in the we're in the crux of it
Speaker 5: right now talking about Mike McCarthy, like, this is a
Speaker 5: guy that shouldn't have to sing for his meal. No,
Speaker 5: this is a guy that's shown you And if he's
Speaker 5: paying for the sins of other coaches, when does that
Speaker 5: stop on his watch?
Speaker 2: Because he is a championship level coach.
Speaker 3: You saw what Sean Payton did this year last week? Right, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 3: Sean Payton got his quarterback.
Speaker 4: Didn't look good.
Speaker 3: You start looking at Sean Payton and Mike McCarthy, you
Speaker 3: start putting it side to side together. Mike is held
Speaker 3: one way and Sean Payton has looked at as his
Speaker 3: genius in the lab the other way. What's sewn done
Speaker 3: since since Drew Brees exited the building?
Speaker 2: Nothing?
Speaker 4: Nothing, making eighteen million right now?
Speaker 3: And I like Sean, but there's this perception that Sean
Speaker 3: is so much better than Mike.
Speaker 5: McCarthy without without people looking at the record to didn't
Speaker 5: realize that they're the same.
Speaker 3: And people saying, well, you know, McCarthy had Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 3: he had Brett Farv and I go by can say this,
Speaker 3: show me the great NFL coach in the Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame that had a bum quarterback there's only one dude
Speaker 3: where you can say, hey man, you had some okay
Speaker 3: dudes that I can think of it as a Pro
Speaker 3: Football Hall of Fame. That would be Joe Gibbs, who
Speaker 3: won super Bowls with Joe, thisman, Jug Williams and Mark Rippin.
Speaker 3: Other than that, everybody else pretty much rolland with a
Speaker 3: dude who's got Hall of Fame number, Absolutely Tom Landry Chuck, No,
Speaker 3: Don Shula. Bill Belichick's gonna go in there in the
Speaker 3: hall one day. He's got a guy Bud grantson there
Speaker 3: at Frank Tip mean, you pretty much gonna need a dude.
Speaker 4: Bill Walsh. You got a guy.
Speaker 3: Bill Walsh had Joe Montana and he has seen him
Speaker 3: those guys, So you're not getting there with just some
Speaker 3: old Johnny cun lately let mention.
Speaker 5: I mean so Barry, that is, you actually approve of
Speaker 5: the way that the front office is handling Mike McCarthy
Speaker 5: and your and your thing is like you gotta show
Speaker 5: improved the regular season as well and good.
Speaker 6: I don't see anything wrong with saying, okay, look man,
Speaker 6: you know we understand your greatness and how you are
Speaker 6: as a play caller and how you get the quarterback Whisper.
Speaker 6: We understand all that, but we also understand the past.
Speaker 6: You know, three seasons we've been won and done or
Speaker 6: maybe got into the divisional and at Jerry Jones has
Speaker 6: already said this time and time again, I don't have.
Speaker 2: Time to, you know, do all these other things. Don't
Speaker 2: have that.
Speaker 6: We're gonna say, we're gonna take a break, and I
Speaker 6: don't see I don't see no problem with it.
Speaker 4: We're gonna take a break.
Speaker 2: You win, you get it, don't gonna when.
Speaker 4: We come back. When we come back, I'm going to
Speaker 4: ask you one simple question.
Speaker 3: Let's do about what you just said here. It's easy,

Speaker 2: To the players Lounge.
Speaker 5: Short read guys, YETI official cooler and drinkware of the
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: It is and by the way to recap our YETI
Speaker 3: cool customer that we had picked over the weekend was
Speaker 3: the quarterback Dak Prescott sixteen or twenty seven hundred and
Speaker 3: sixty one yards one touchdown and you know what, the
Speaker 3: Cowboys got the victory and number four for the Cowboys
Speaker 3: looked at a lot better than the number four on
Speaker 3: the other side long. So that was the cool customer
Speaker 3: we spoke about, and the other cool customer I was
Speaker 3: talking about with Tyler you left tackle.
Speaker 4: He was cool old customer. Man.
Speaker 3: What an outstanding day for the rookie unforced. I hadn't
Speaker 3: get a chance to talk to him in the locker room.
Speaker 3: We had to get over to get CD LAMB. But
Speaker 3: what a great performance for him as a rookie at
Speaker 3: Carnor BB and he was praised by Tyler Smith and
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott as well.
Speaker 5: So we gave out game balls yesterday on the players lounge,
Speaker 5: and I gave a game ball to my email brother
Speaker 5: Cooper BB. Yeah, that's that's what I represented.
Speaker 3: You know what, Look, the fact that we were not
Speaker 3: talking about them seeks volumes for the players, speaks volumes
Speaker 3: for the coaching staff, you know, O line coaches and
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy as well.
Speaker 4: As calling the plays. So yeah, a lot of credit.
Speaker 3: Which is now I come back to you Bury Church
Speaker 3: as we spoke about last segment right now, other players,
Speaker 3: I was brought to you by Aristocrat Gaming. You said,
Speaker 3: let Mike play it out. You said you had no
Speaker 3: problem with it. You're a former player. Yeah, and you
Speaker 3: know what it's like to go in on the final
Speaker 3: year of a deal having to sing.
Speaker 4: For your supper? Is it not disrespectful?
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy, who's only had one head coach in this
Speaker 3: league win more games than him in the regular season
Speaker 3: the last three years won Mike McCarthy, who came in here,
Speaker 3: took over for Jason Garrett's mess and has done a
Speaker 3: better job than Jason did in ten years.
Speaker 4: Is it not disrespectful?
Speaker 3: A dude who's like number one, seventeen or eighteen on
Speaker 3: all sign wins, little.
Speaker 6: Playoff records, Garrett and Mike being just with the Cowboys
Speaker 6: head coach Mike with Jason's ten years here, I.
Speaker 4: Don't know well as of right now.
Speaker 2: Okay, they're around the same.
Speaker 6: I would assume, right it's probably win Law, you know,
Speaker 6: being a Cowboy, I would assume they're around the same.
Speaker 4: Chris Ban you can correct me. You can go through
Speaker 4: the handy Danny.
Speaker 6: But back to your question, I would say, if I'm Mike,
Speaker 6: if that, if I'm big Mike, yes, I would see
Speaker 6: that is being disrespectful because if I'm a player, I'm
Speaker 6: going out there, I'm risking injury. Even though he's not
Speaker 6: risking injury. If I'm a player going out there, I
Speaker 6: want security just like everybody else out there. So yes,
Speaker 6: I would say that that would be disrespectful if I'm McCarthy.
Speaker 6: But I also understand it from the other point of
Speaker 6: view when you talk about mister Jones in the front
Speaker 6: of office.
Speaker 2: You know the past three years, Yes, you've.
Speaker 6: Always gotten us into contention, always gotten us into the playoffs,
Speaker 6: and that's how you started.
Speaker 2: You g's how you get to the balls, to get
Speaker 2: to the playoffs to begin with.
Speaker 6: So we understand regular season, you bring us an opportunity
Speaker 6: to at least get to the tournament, and that's all
Speaker 6: you can ask for in the regular season. But when
Speaker 6: we get to the second, when we get to the playoffs,
Speaker 6: that's when we have some issues. Like going into that
Speaker 6: Green Bay game that might have been the worst playoff
Speaker 6: loss in Cowboys history. If I'm not mistaken, it could
Speaker 6: have been. And you were a big time fIF Oh
Speaker 6: yeah that was bad to thirteen to three years. But
Speaker 6: you're at home and you're supposed to take care of
Speaker 6: business against a Jordan Love who was his first year starting,
Speaker 6: and you got dismantled.
Speaker 4: Now I'm not putting it everything square on you.
Speaker 6: But as a head coach, you're you're the umbrella for
Speaker 6: the whole entire team off from the corner of the defense,
Speaker 6: quar or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 2: You're the umbrella there. You're gonna take. You know, you're
Speaker 2: gonna take the shrine.
Speaker 6: So to me, after that playoff performance and then to
Speaker 6: come in here week one, you did get the job done.
Speaker 6: I still have questions that need to be answered, especially when.
Speaker 4: You get to the postseason.
Speaker 5: And I agree with what you're saying because I think
Speaker 5: that is the moment that resonates with you as a
Speaker 5: former player and as fans. You're like, how could you
Speaker 5: not be prepared for that moment? Because you're at home,
Speaker 5: the records spoke for itself, your home record, and you
Speaker 5: come in and you just did not look ready in
Speaker 5: that instance. And I think that that's the one thing
Speaker 5: that you've heard. Jerry continued to repeat about the Green
Speaker 5: Bay loss, like it just it resonated with him that
Speaker 5: the team wasn't ready. I'm just gonna say this, man.
Speaker 5: Obviously I don't have any you know, antidotal accounts as
Speaker 5: a player or anything like that, but I will say,
Speaker 5: you know, when my uncle was coaching for the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 5: This is Don Shuler's last season. This was ninety five
Speaker 5: ninety six, and those coaches were on edge because they
Speaker 5: knew like he could be gone at any second, and
Speaker 5: hazinga all the things that they were going on at
Speaker 5: that time. And they lose in the playoffs and he
Speaker 5: hears about being fired on ESPN, not from ownership, you know,
Speaker 5: and like the families are involved in this too, and
Speaker 5: so big Mike is doing his job not only for himself,
Speaker 5: but also for those coaches that are on his staff.
Speaker 5: And to me, the job that they've done and what
Speaker 5: they've poured into this organization and these players that what
Speaker 5: they've been able to do with the talent that they have,
Speaker 5: it says to me that they shouldn't even be in
Speaker 5: this situation where they're having to feel disrespected. Look, Mike
Speaker 5: is going to have to prove it right. The coaching
Speaker 5: salary is not tied to the salary cap. They could
Speaker 5: do this at any time, at any moment. To me,
Speaker 5: if you have a team that's going out performing like this,
Speaker 5: say they do it again, you have a hot, high
Speaker 5: caliber performance. You go into Baltimore. As it continues to go.
Speaker 5: You see this team responding and there's no drop off.
Speaker 5: You gotta take care of it because at the end
Speaker 5: of the day, at the end of the day, what
Speaker 5: you need is the regular season to even prepare for
Speaker 5: the postseason.
Speaker 6: But that's been the same thing for the past three seasons,
Speaker 6: right being successful during the regular season, having these runs,
Speaker 6: and then getting to the performance. Out of those four
Speaker 6: playoff games, there was one that that team looked prepared
Speaker 6: for the Tampa Bay game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, San Francisco the first one, they didn't look good.
Speaker 4: They got smacked fourteen oh in the first one.
Speaker 6: And then you look at you look at the second
Speaker 6: playoff game against San Francisco.
Speaker 4: Did they look prepared in that game?
Speaker 2: Green Bay?
Speaker 4: Did they look prepared in that game?
Speaker 6: So Tampa Bay, to be was the only one where
Speaker 6: they were in the postseason and they came out ready
Speaker 6: to roll.
Speaker 2: And that's the question that needs to be solved. We
Speaker 2: know what the regular season is.
Speaker 6: He's gonna give you twelve victories, so he's gonna have
Speaker 6: his team ready for the role. But has he given
Speaker 6: any evidence, time, proof of consistency that when you get
Speaker 6: to that playoff round that that team is gonna.
Speaker 5: Come out ready to roll. So now this is this
Speaker 5: is this is now. To me, what I'm hearing is
Speaker 5: a trust issue in the biggest moments.
Speaker 6: I think that's That's what the question that we've all
Speaker 6: been to win McCarthy is the postseason.
Speaker 4: So he's one in three. A's a head coach.
Speaker 3: Okay, he's won in three with the Cowboys, one and
Speaker 3: three of the Cowboys, okay. Jason Garrett was two and three.
Speaker 3: Jake Carret like ten years to do this. I didn't
Speaker 3: lies this context. I spent a lot of time living
Speaker 3: in North Carolina, and when I got there, there was
Speaker 3: no pro sports in North Carolina. Was college basketball was
Speaker 3: the thing for years. It was all about Dean Smith
Speaker 3: is really good, but he can't win the big one,
Speaker 3: and he finally did win it and ended up winning two.
Speaker 3: Mike Shewsky five straight final fours, could not win the
Speaker 3: national championship. Lot he got a monkey on your back.
Speaker 3: The great Tom Landry here next year's champion. That was
Speaker 3: what was hung around them forever in a day. And
Speaker 3: my thought process is, give me a guy that that
Speaker 3: I believe can get it done.
Speaker 4: And Mike has won a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Give me that kind of guy that is showing me
Speaker 3: he's consistently here, and at some point in time, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna bet that eventually his program and what he's doing
Speaker 3: can get us where we want to go. So many
Speaker 3: times I think people hit that eject button and it's
Speaker 3: like Jay Wright and Villanova had a couple of things,
Speaker 3: but he was knocking on the door too.
Speaker 4: Finally got through.
Speaker 3: I was in Cleveland with Bill Belichick and I set
Speaker 3: the most dumb as nine thing when he got fired.
Speaker 3: This guy will never win a Super Bowl. I said
Speaker 3: that and said, I bet you a rent payment. Yes
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 4: It's that glad.
Speaker 2: It ain't no takee.
Speaker 3: And that man check for thirteen. My rent was back
Speaker 3: to know it was like six something, But yes, yes,
Speaker 3: what do we say the guy? The guy I don't
Speaker 3: know home back then in Cleveland. But we have seen
Speaker 3: where coaches can't get better. Here's a guy who has
Speaker 3: won a Super Bowl that I would say, give me this.
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people who thought Andy Reid
Speaker 3: when he left Philadelphia shouldn't go straight to go coach
Speaker 3: Kansas City.
Speaker 4: Wait, see it. The guy got there. Pete Carroll eventually
Speaker 4: figured it out for himself.
Speaker 3: Man, And I'm not saying that Mike is going to
Speaker 3: do exactly what Belichick did or Tom Landry, but with
Speaker 3: what he's doing right now now, I would put my
Speaker 3: chips there, and haven't seen some of these other great coaches.
Speaker 3: I would tell you, give me a guy who keeps
Speaker 3: knocking on this door, and I'll take my chances there
Speaker 3: before I go out here in this marketplace. And I
Speaker 3: don't know what I am going to get right now.
Speaker 6: So it's similar to the to the Dak Prescott approach
Speaker 6: if you look at it like that, if you know,
Speaker 6: would you rather be the consistent guy that's always gonna
Speaker 6: be there or the unknown right when you talk about
Speaker 6: going through the draft or free agency, and they chose
Speaker 6: the consistent guy, which is Dak Prescott, in my opinion,
Speaker 6: was the right move. I think Mike McCarthy is one
Speaker 6: heck of a coach. Let me put that out there
Speaker 6: to begin with. I believe he's one heck of a coach.
Speaker 6: The only thing I'm saying is I can see both sides.
Speaker 6: I can see why the Jones sides are saying, Hey,
Speaker 6: you know, we wanna, we wanna. We want to pump
Speaker 6: the brakes before we get you here a little bit
Speaker 6: long term, just to see if you can do with
Speaker 6: what we brought you in here to do, which is
Speaker 6: get us.
Speaker 4: Over the hump in the postseason.
Speaker 6: But I can also see why is this respectful for
Speaker 6: McCarthy hit three straight twelve wins seasons. I'm always having
Speaker 6: y'all in the postseasons. You know where's my where's my contract?
Speaker 4: As well? I can see that from both sides. So heck,
Speaker 4: here's the wireless thing.
Speaker 3: Okay, we just saw Mike McCarthy go dismantle Kevin Stevans,
Speaker 3: set the fans. He said, a pick got contract extension,
Speaker 3: He got more security than the Mike McCarthy he did.
Speaker 3: Who would you rather have right now?
Speaker 2: Is right?
Speaker 4: I mean that's the part.
Speaker 3: I mean if you if you go around this league
Speaker 3: right now and you just say, hey, this is a
Speaker 3: better coach.
Speaker 6: Than him, ain't right.
Speaker 3: It ain't gon take long to call the role to
Speaker 3: get to get to him. You could say Mike Tomlin,
Speaker 3: you could say Andy Reid. You could point to a
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan, but Kyle Shanahan has not won a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: You may want to say a Sean McVay. But but
Speaker 3: you get what I'm saying. Man, It's not many, dude,
Speaker 3: John Harball in Baltimore. But there's not many guys that
Speaker 3: you're saying right now are better. And oh, by the way,
Speaker 3: he's calling his own plays. This team got better when
Speaker 3: he became the player. Sorry about your boy, Kellen Moore.
Speaker 2: He looked good Week one. Okay, he sure did, you know.
Speaker 5: But I mean going back to what you're saying, and
Speaker 5: I think the disrespect is really what you're talking about,
Speaker 5: because it looks to me like you're coach that is
Speaker 5: three straight twelve and five seasons. You shouldn't be in
Speaker 5: this predicament. But you go back history tells you like
Speaker 5: guys like Dan Reeves, former Cowboy player Dan Reeves that
Speaker 5: at Bronco, at the Broncos when they them to the
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, but then they three three super Bowls. I mean,
Speaker 5: imagine that you get the three Super Bowls, you lose,
Speaker 5: and it's like they replace you with Mike Shanahan.
Speaker 2: Mike Shanahan comes in and.
Speaker 5: Wade Phillips hum Wade Wade, but Mike Shanahan also Wade
Speaker 5: Shanny was out the Wade. Okay, But but but I'm saying,
Speaker 5: you get you're bringing another coach that leads them to
Speaker 5: a super Bowl.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Like, it's situations like that, where as an organization and
Speaker 5: you look at the history of it, you're like, look,
Speaker 5: if this guy can't get it done, I may be
Speaker 5: able to bring in another.
Speaker 2: Piece that advocate on the situation.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's the next level. Let me give you a
Speaker 3: little context on Dan Reeves. This is how he got
Speaker 3: himself fired. He drafted a dude from here named Tommy
Speaker 3: Maddox in the first round. John Elway was none too happy.
Speaker 3: And then you ain't out here winning like you used to.
Speaker 3: You know what John said, John put lebron or not bye.
Speaker 3: I mean, so so this, you know, messing up and
Speaker 3: John Elway just wasn't a play.
Speaker 4: John Elway was an icon in the Rocky Mountain regions
Speaker 4: and the owner was like, yeah, I'm right with him,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 3: And so so I was like when I looked at Dan,
Speaker 3: like yeah, that probably wouldn't play. It's like when when
Speaker 3: Belichick got rid of Bernie Colesar and he lost the fans,
Speaker 3: you know, lose the and then and of course John
Speaker 3: Elway none you shy to let you know, I ain't
Speaker 3: like this.
Speaker 4: This wasn't good. This wasn't good.
Speaker 5: So, but that's just an analogy to say that a
Speaker 5: different voice maybe in a situation like that with a
Speaker 5: team that's ultraed. You know, ubertalented that you may be
Speaker 5: able to get more out of them in a situation
Speaker 5: with a different, different voice.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean because I was younger, younger at the time.
Speaker 6: But when when Tony Dungee had his whole situation there
Speaker 6: in Tampa, did did you take him to was it one.
Speaker 4: Or two NFC chance? They lost?
Speaker 3: They lost a very close game to the Saint Louis
Speaker 3: Rams in ninety nine, had a really bad call against Berda.
Speaker 2: Man, it was like, oh, oh.
Speaker 4: Probably could have won that game.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: But the and so what interesting about that is one
Speaker 3: year they were getting ready to hire Parcels and he
Speaker 3: renigged at the end. Tony came back and ended up
Speaker 3: turning it around and they started winning, and it got
Speaker 3: towards the end where it was like, hey, man, we
Speaker 3: can't get twenty points you know offensively, we got a defense,
Speaker 3: and so they made the trade.
Speaker 4: They brought in John Gruden.
Speaker 3: Gruten ended up winning the Super Bowl, and then he
Speaker 3: started running the team and getting the personnel.
Speaker 2: And it did work out for that.
Speaker 3: I mean, Keishawan, Keishan Johnson gladly tell you know.
Speaker 2: This wasn't it.
Speaker 5: But another great analogy, you know that to show where
Speaker 5: a team was under the previous leadership.
Speaker 2: They were successful.
Speaker 5: It's not like Tampa Bay by any stretch was a
Speaker 5: bad team. That defense was crazy, locking teams down. But
Speaker 5: it just seemed like Chucky came in and he got
Speaker 5: that was just that he got it.
Speaker 2: That's all he need, That's all he needed.
Speaker 5: The team was so talented that you would ask yourself like,
Speaker 5: how are they not winning it? How are they not
Speaker 5: getting there? And it was just a great disappointment each season.
Speaker 5: And here we are.
Speaker 4: And we saw what Chucky did with the Raiders.
Speaker 2: We saw what Chuck did with the Raiders.
Speaker 3: Gave all that controls gain control in Tampa Bay, let
Speaker 3: him start making decisions. And then yeah, he said talk
Speaker 3: to Key Shan.
Speaker 4: Boy. He will gladly warrants that.
Speaker 3: There's a list of guys that will sit up here
Speaker 3: and tell you their issues with him. And the quarterbacks
Speaker 3: were never developed under There's a whole lot about was
Speaker 3: a Chucky Smith got a Super Bowl? Give your credit,
Speaker 3: like Barry switch, you got it done. You got We
Speaker 3: cannot take that away from you. But Tony also showed
Speaker 3: you when he went to Indianapolis that Okay, I am
Speaker 3: that coach.
Speaker 4: I can't go get it done.
Speaker 3: But it's very hard. I just want to keep emphasizing
Speaker 3: it's very hard to find the right guy. And when
Speaker 3: you have this type of winning and type of success,
Speaker 3: it's not going to be easy to just Okay, find Mike.
Speaker 3: We're gonna go hire whoever and this young kid to
Speaker 3: do this or that.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a challenge.
Speaker 3: All right, let's get our last break in here. Let's

Speaker 3: Hag Maharrison Thank you very much, Players nowand brought to

Speaker 3: A new instructs Cowboys getting ready to take on the
Speaker 3: New Orleans Saints the opener at Jerry World. Both teams
Speaker 3: are undefeated teams, dominating in their first victories of the year.
Speaker 3: Carolina getting dragged by the Saints forty seven to ten.
Speaker 2: Drug hit up.
Speaker 3: One of my friends works over there. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be long year, long year. And then the
Speaker 3: Cowboys took apart the Cleveland Browns thirty three to seventeen.
Speaker 3: One thing and I brought I talked about this summer
Speaker 3: report for Channel five. After the Browns got that field goal,
Speaker 3: the next ten possessions six punts, two interceptions, and got
Speaker 3: the ball over on downs twice. That was the next
Speaker 3: ten possessions. That is taking the woodshed to somebody. Man, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean that, I mean that's crazy, man. Next ten nothing,
Speaker 3: nothing man.
Speaker 4: That that was impressive.
Speaker 3: And then of course the Browns you start looking about
Speaker 3: third down two of eleven, eighteen point two percent. We
Speaker 3: were concerned about, you know, their ability to run the
Speaker 3: ball thirty five yards rushing this this, I mean, this
Speaker 3: was one of those truly awful performances. And I understand
Speaker 3: they didn't have their tackles, and Michael Parsons was very
Speaker 3: kind afterwards talking about that and saying, you know, Deshaun
Speaker 3: is still a tough guy to get down and they're
Speaker 3: gonna be better.
Speaker 4: But bro, this, this, this.
Speaker 2: They have the same agent. You know, that's a little
Speaker 2: you know what teaching me.
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, you're right, you know, but he
Speaker 4: got his two thirty. Yeah, Watson's guaranteed to say whatever
Speaker 4: you want to about but yeah, you're right.
Speaker 5: But but you know the thing for me when you
Speaker 5: we rattle off those those stats men, going back to
Speaker 5: what you were just talking about, the last time you
Speaker 5: saw the Dallas Cowboys, Jones was running all over them
Speaker 5: and and that's that was all that was in your
Speaker 5: mind headed into this game.
Speaker 2: We were talking about forward. We're like, they don't have.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sleep on him and a guy behind him and
Speaker 5: the guy behind him, because they're gonna find a way
Speaker 5: to have some success. You knew who was on the
Speaker 5: injury report, You knew that Wills wasn't going to be
Speaker 5: able to play, and none of that mattered because it
Speaker 5: just seems like any team can plug and player running
Speaker 5: back and can get downhill on the Cowboys in a hurry,
Speaker 5: this game.
Speaker 2: It was the complete opposite.
Speaker 5: Now, can't coach Zimber maintain that effort on defense? And
Speaker 5: I think that obviously bringing in a guy that is
Speaker 5: known to neutralize the running game was beneficial to this team.
Speaker 2: That's huge.
Speaker 6: And when you talk about Parsons, what he's able to do,
Speaker 6: that's the type of game. If he can do that consistently,
Speaker 6: then you start talking about, you know, defensive Player of
Speaker 6: the Year awards. When a guy can go out there
Speaker 6: and not only if you know, get after the quarterback
Speaker 6: the way he did with nine pressures, but affect the
Speaker 6: run that passes in the air, that leads to interceptions.
Speaker 6: That's what you love to see when you're talking about
Speaker 6: a Parsons guy out there like that for the Defensive
Speaker 6: Player of the year a war. But I mean another
Speaker 6: fact going towards McCarthy is, like you said, he stayed
Speaker 6: within himself and he didn't put this team that risk.
Speaker 6: Look what the Browns did, Like you're known for being
Speaker 6: a physical called downhill team, they ran the ball believe
Speaker 6: what was it twelve or sometimes towards.
Speaker 2: The end they started giving it a little bit.
Speaker 6: They got away from it, like the first second series
Speaker 6: of all right on the you design.
Speaker 3: They did end up in ninety three yards, but the
Speaker 3: competitive phase of the football game, each of the first
Speaker 3: three quarters man ended up with thirty five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, fourth coach, he just went away from it quick.
Speaker 5: And I think that when you have a defense that's
Speaker 5: making you abandon the running game, that was. It wasn't
Speaker 5: because they wanted to, it was because they couldn't. And
Speaker 5: so like you, and I agree wholeheartedly with you on
Speaker 5: what you said about the missile.
Speaker 2: If he can continue this.
Speaker 5: Effort for the next sixteen games, and he was everywhere,
Speaker 5: well yes, but newly.
Speaker 4: But okay, here's here's the butt.
Speaker 3: They were missing their two tackles, and even he said
Speaker 3: it after the game, and what are you supposed to
Speaker 3: go do against some backups and that trick, that's what
Speaker 3: it did. Gonna be a little different, gonna be a
Speaker 3: little bit different going on. And he's he said that,
Speaker 3: that's what he said. And then he said, man, I
Speaker 3: probably missed three sacks. But he also talked about, hey,
Speaker 3: I've been those three sacks. Because Deshaun is a tough guy.
Speaker 2: To get down.
Speaker 3: He was he was good after the game, but but
Speaker 3: he was a he was what you're supposed to be
Speaker 3: you got a mismatch.
Speaker 4: You know you're going You're going against you know Akron,
Speaker 4: You're supposed to go there Cross, Hey, what you got against?
Speaker 3: I was right down the road saying they got no
Speaker 3: football team. I wasn't gonna say Northern Illinois because they
Speaker 3: be going to the I know, man, I know it's
Speaker 3: black on black crime, black coach war, Barcus Robinson getting killed.
Speaker 3: I asked Steve Berline, like He's like, man, I was there, Man,
Speaker 3: it's not good.
