WEBVTT - Player's Lounge: Cleaning House? 0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.080 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:16.920 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the Players 0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:22.240 Lounge broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star. 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:32.520 Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCray, and Newe scrugs. Hi, everybody, 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:36.920 I am NEWI scrugs, longtime Cowboys reported joined by Danny McCray, 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.680 former Dallas Cowboys safety Barry Church with the day off. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.800 Church will join us tomorrow when we bring you the 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:46.519 Players Lounge from the Star. We'll be at the Plaza 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.120 at the Star for Thursdays and Fridays shows. So if 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.520 you're over in the area, come by and say hello Players. 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.200 Brought you by Hotels dot Com. So McCray and I 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.160 get to ride this thing. It's a kool Aid free show, 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.760 so we don't have to worry about Danny coming in here, 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.800 coming in here, Danny telling us, just pouring us all 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:06.840 that's making us want to drink it. So we're good. Yes, 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.720 we are good on that. The Cowboys getting ready for 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.800 Sunday Night football, and it looks more and more Danny 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.280 like rookie quarterback Ben d Nucci is going to get 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.319 the start. Andy Dalton has not practiced, and it's Wednesday, 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:26.200 this is installed day and Mike McCarthy's press conference that 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.040 they said he you know, maybe if Andy Dalton can 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.479 get something towards the end of the week. But I'm 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.640 just I just keep going back to looking at the hip. Okay, 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.880 I'm not a doctor. All I can do is just 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.040 go by what I see. It just looks so vicious 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.160 that I would be surprised if Andy Dalton is there. 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.280 And then from what they're telling us, the information they're 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.480 giving us, and we know Mike McCarthy is guarding, it 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.400 just sounds more and more to me like it's gonna 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.760 be Ben d Nucci show to run on Sunday. Then yeah, 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.360 you know, like you said, McCarthy is a little guardss. 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.240 So we never really know. And sometimes the hit can 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.200 look worse than it is, or sometimes that hit can 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.760 be just as bad as it looks. So it's really 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.040 up to the doctors and how Andy Dalton feels. But 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.359 I believe that if he does pass protocol that he 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.520 still will be out there as long as he practices 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.600 on Saturday. I mean, with the state that the team 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.240 is in, I don't see him holding him out if 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.200 he's available to play, just because he wasn't able to install. 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.120 He's a veteran guy, and I think he'll be able 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:24.720 to pick up some of the stuff that they put 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.800 in and Kellen Moore and be able to adjust on 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.560 the fly if he's able to get in there at 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:35.239 the last minute. Well, I look at this game for 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.359 Andy Dalton, and it's one thing we know Jim Jim 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.760 Schwartz is gonna do. It's gonna bring pressure. And I 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.640 was sitting here looking at sack leaders and just checking 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.680 my notes here. Philadelphia is twenty is number four in 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.359 the league in sacks with twenty four. So Washington was 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.160 getting after the Cowboys and they got six sacks. So 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.880 Philadelphia is gonna bring this heat. And look, I think 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.160 whether it's d Nucci or Andy Dalton, the kitchen sink 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.519 is coming here. Because we also um know that there's 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.679 gonna be another different offensive line combination, because Mike McCarthy 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.359 is expecting Zach Martin backhau. This is this is just 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:14.359 a really, really tough matchup for the Cowboys and they 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.680 simply cannot afford to have any breakdowns and any of 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.639 the mistakes that they've made in the past offensively or 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.760 defensively to try and win this football game. I know 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.560 Phillies two four and one, but their strength goes right 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:31.360 against some of the Cowboys weaknesses. Yeah right, and Phillies 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.280 two four on one, but they they've had some close 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:40.320 losses to some to some pretty good teams. I'm glad that. Yeah, 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.680 so I'm glad. I'm glad that Zack Martin is coming back. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.800 Hopefully he can he can give us a little bit 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.960 of a little bit of plug. With the leaks that 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.240 we have on the offensive line, we all know that 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.240 that that we're getting heated up and if the Nucie 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.400 is out, there is going to be a show where 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.520 they are bringing people from the left, the right, the 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.000 middle trying to confuse this guy and get some interceptions. 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.920 So one again, it will be up to Kelly Moore 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.200 to come up with a game plan that fits the 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.520 roster that he currently has. Now, I would expect to 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.360 see a lot of tight end help maybe a tight 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.320 end playing fullback, a lot of Zeke and Polish stand 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.400 in the help block just so they can show up 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.200 this offensive line and give you know, give the news 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.480 Yard Andy Dalton some time back there so they can 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.520 make you know, at least at least a ten or 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.440 fifteen yard through. I know he won't have that much 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.440 time back there, but uh, you know, I expect Kelly 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.359 more to justin be able to help him just a 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.880 little bit. I don't have that much confidence in the 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.360 in the office, I mean in the in the running game, 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.800 just because what I saw last week. Hopefully we can 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.000 get something going. We tried to focus on the last week, 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.040 but it just didn't work for us. So maybe that 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.040 was just the off week and was Zach Barton coming back. 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:46.600 We'll be able to get that thing on the road, 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.560 but we are really going to need our run game 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.960 this time. It's going to be challenging. And then, uh, 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.680 John Clark works for NBC Sports Philadephia. I've known John 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.520 for for a long time and and he loves to 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.440 send me tweets and copying me on them. And so 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.040 he's hit me a tweet about Darius Slayton and his 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:10.000 numbers against Amari Cooper, and so he's already he's already 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:15.280 claiming that that Slayton's out of this football game here. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:19.320 And then he posted about how Jalen Raiger, their first 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.760 round draft pick out of TC, you should be ready 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.120 to go, and that you'll see him make his debut 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.320 against his hometown Dallas Cowboys. And of course I can 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.799 tell you this, Jalen Raiger is a fast guy. Think 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.160 of Deshaun Jackson when he was young. That's what Jalen 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.440 Raiger can bring you in terms of an offensive weapon, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:44.400 a guy who can run past you. So, Philadelphia, the 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.640 fans are at least with me, the reporters and the 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.279 folks that they're filling their oats and they're giving me 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.760 the business. After we finish the players lounge, I've got 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.800 to go do a interview for NBC Sports Philly, and 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.280 so I'm going to hear the business once again here. 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:03.480 So Philadephiopole just feeling real confident about Sunday Night football 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.560 as they get ready to host a Dallas count I mean, 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.520 I mean, why not you just said that They got 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.719 to think of it this way. They got Rager, who 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.960 has speed, which is a problem of any any receiver. 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:15.960 Has been a problem for our defense. I see that 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.760 Alshon Jeffery is possibly going to be ready, which makes 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.640 it another problem for our defense. Miles Sanders is trying 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.320 as hardest to get back on there so he can 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.800 fight to have a career day, which makes that another 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.520 problem for our defense. And Carson Wentz is playing better, 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.919 you know, better than Actually, you don't really have to 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.839 play that good, you know, to look good against our defense. 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.640 So Carson Wentz come out there and he plays eighty 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.640 percent of his potential. We're gonna have some issues. So hopefully, 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:45.000 you know, maybe the changes that we're making that will 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.320 get to uh, you know later in the show will help. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.240 Or maybe these guys will figure out a way to 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.920 keep their eyes right and and prevent the deep ball 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.159 from coming and things will change. But I don't have 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.720 any confidence in that, So I just think it's gonna 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.080 be a big day for the Philly offense. I'll say 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.919 this about Miles Sanders. This is a this is a 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.640 game that if I'm the head coach Doug Peterson, I 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.040 don't play him. I mean I literally don't, because he's 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.040 he's all you know, he missed the first game of 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.640 the year already. I mean, he's dealt with issues. I 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.200 don't know if he was the first game, but he's missed. 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.160 He's missed other games earlier in yere But anyway, he's 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.120 dealt all off, I should go back, and then during 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.360 training camp he was dealing with injuries here, so he's 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.520 dealt with some stuff. You know, all season long. This 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.160 is not a game I would play my best running back. 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.360 Because if you're Philadelphia at this point in time, if 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.360 you just look at this division, you're you should win 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.640 this thing right now. Okay, based on the injuries that 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.280 the Cowboys have going on, forty percent of their salary 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.680 cap is out, you know this division is theirs. I mean, 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.440 if you're going to Vegas right now and you're putting 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.840 some chips on eighteen to win the nfcas it should 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.720 be Philadelphia. And if I'm head coach Doug Peterson, I'm 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:55.240 trying to save Miles Sanders for other games. And this 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.200 is where I'll let Boston Scott and some other dudes 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.360 roll out here, because, as you said, you can, you 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.640 can win this thing, and if you're getting your receivers back, 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.000 you want to throw on the Cowboys defense all day long, 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.560 and running the football is not going to be hard 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.160 because nobody gives up more yardage than the Dallas Cowboys. 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.400 They're dead last in the league when it comes to 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.280 giving up the run. They give up one hundred and 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:21.160 seventy two yards a per game. So we'll see, we'll see. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.280 But I tell you I don't expect Sanders to be 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.160 out there. I really don't because this is one of 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:30.320 those all right, go ahead, Well look listen. I'm hopeful 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.920 because he's my starting running back on my fantasy football team. Also, 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.000 I'm sure that he can also he also sees the 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.080 same thing that we see. Like we talked about yesterday, 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:40.760 this is the game that you want to play if 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:42.679 you want to get on track. I know he had 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.520 he had a knee injury, so I'm not sure you 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.640 know how serious it was. I didn't. I didn't really 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:47.920 get to read up on it. But if it's not 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.880 a hamstring or something, you know, soft tissue injury, I 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.280 think he'll be out there. And uh and I know 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.880 you say that that Philly should should win this thing, 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.960 but I go back to Washington and if ye possibly 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.840 they don't go for two, I think two weeks ago 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.920 they could be sitting there with three and five. So 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.320 I mean I think Washington will we'll be able to 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.600 compete with Philly. You know, if they continue to get better, 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.000 the defense shows up, you know, and they take advantage 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.320 of some of the weaker games on their schedule. I 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.439 think that it'll be between Washington and Philly at the 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.880 end of the season. So I wouldn't I wouldn't speak 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.120 so fast to say that Philly's gonna wrap us on up. 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.680 Washington beat Philly to start the season, so they have 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.559 that in their back pocket. But I just think it's 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.000 Philly starts to get some of their reinforcements back. I 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:35.679 just think they're a better football team when I look 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.920 at the games against Pittsburgh and Baltimore which they were down. 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.280 They were down double digits in these games, and they 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.000 came back and made these games the contest that went 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.440 down into the final final two minutes of the game. 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.840 So I just I just think overall, they still have 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.480 enough guys over there who've won a championship, and I 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.079 just think that they'll end up being a better football team. 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.960 I just don't. I don't think washing Shington is gonna 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.920 have enough. But that's just me and this is why 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:05.760 we play the games. But but at this point in time, 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:09.400 I'm definitely, you know, unlike Bury Church, I'm definitely looking 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.839 at the Cowboys and saying I don't see them getting 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.439 it done because they have not been able to fix 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.000 the multitude of issues that they have. You know, they 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:21.600 have not had a cohesive offensive line. They are jet 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.200 lasts in turning over the football. They have yet to 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.600 do that. They've had a turnover every game since the 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.520 first one against the Rams. There were no turnovers. Since then. 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.480 It's been nothing but downhill. And now you're talking about 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.520 having to play start a third different quarterback. I mean, 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.800 there's so many things going against the Cowboys, and you 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:43.880 can't stop the run, you can't start the pass. Yeah, 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.480 it's a problem. And I'm gonna stick by what I 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.559 said about Bill. Bill Parcels used to set. All I 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.400 can go by is what I see. And until I 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.160 see the Cowboys beat a team that has a win, 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.400 because the two teams they beat were win lists, you know, 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.880 it's gonna be hard to pick them. And this game 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.280 is going to be at Philadelphia on Sunday Night Football, 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.520 and I just think Philadelphia. You know, they're two and four, 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:10.319 But I see them starting to get a little bit better. 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.559 I see them starting to get that way. And they've 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.080 had as many offensive line issues at the Cowboys. But 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.920 but I'll say this, Danny and I don't know how 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.280 many Philly games you've watched this year. They're doing something 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.200 that the Cowboys are not showing us that they've got. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:30.080 Will you know this team has not shown us the 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.280 past three games that they've got. Will you know the 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.280 Cleveland game, they didn't show it to us. The Giant game, Okay, 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.040 you came back and you won that, but was a 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.599 winless Giants team. What we saw against Washington, what we 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.679 saw against Arizona, you know, we didn't see the kind 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:44.920 of will and the kind of guts that you need 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.839 to win. Everson Griffin, you know, let's just dive into him. 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.120 They traded Everson Griffin, the defensive end to the Detroit 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.160 lines for six round draft pick that it's conditional, so 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:56.920 it could move up to a fifth. I don't know 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:00.280 what the determining factors are there yet, but that's the 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.480 message now. Mike McCarthy spun it that they're gonna give 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.360 some snaps to Dorian's Armstrong. They've now got Randy Gregory 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.800 back that Randy Gregory needs to play, and I'm fine 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:16.439 with it. Honestly, I'm fine with Everson Griffin. In my opinion. 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.000 This is why I hate about us not being able 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:19.600 to be in the locker room this year because of Covid. 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.360 I didn't see the buying. I didn't hear the buy 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:27.200 in from him about being on this defensive and so 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.800 this season, in my opinion, is lost. This team is 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.480 not going to do what we thought it would do, 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.000 which I said eleven and five and making a deep 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.600 playoff run. That's not going to happen. So you might 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.719 as well go ahead and get some picks, because if 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.240 you are drafting in the top ten in every round, 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.000 you want as many of these picks as you can 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:49.440 possibly get. My pick listen, I can't imagine how Griffin felt. 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.559 Right he came here, and he felt the same way 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:57.600 that every analyst, every reporter, every commentator felt about the Cowboys, 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.960 you know, being a contender, having all these pass rushers, 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.240 having all these weapons on offense, so giving the pass rushers, 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.319 you know, the time to get back there and rush 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.240 because you assume that we were going to be up 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.680 and running gun offense and teams are going to be trailing. 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.720 And then you get here and it's the exact opposite. 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.480 And then on top of that, you probably left a 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.360 place where you believed in the coaches and you had 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.640 some relationship with those guys and you're trusting in what 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.520 they were doing. And then you got here and you're 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.240 on a young team, and then you get you get 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:28.960 some coaching that you're like, you're looking at You're like, 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.200 I don't know what you guys are teaching. These guys 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.200 don't hustle. This isn't where I left. What am I 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.800 doing here? So, I mean, I can almost understand why 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.079 the buy in didn't work, especially when you see him 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.679 talking about, Man, look, this is different. I'm standing up, rushing, 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.360 I'm trying to learn this stuff, and this is just 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.560 not what I'm comfortable doing. It just doesn't seem like 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.000 he liked it from the day that he walked in 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.720 the building. So I can imagine that he was ready 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.679 to get up out of here. So, you know, I 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.120 understand that. And Mike McCarthy, he scares me when he 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.440 says what he makes me think when he says, you know, 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.600 he wants to see some younger guys play. I wonder 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.559 if that's throughout the whole team, or is it is 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.920 that just specifically the the line, Because once you hear 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.760 that throughout the whole team, it sounds like you're scrapped 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:13.000 in the season and you're building for the future. Is 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.040 that a bad thing? I mean, at this point in time, 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:17.559 if we're just going to sit up here and be 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.520 honest about the type of injuries that you suffered and 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.520 the kind of holes that you have and the reinforcements 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:28.360 that are not exactly coming back, is that a bad thing. 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.240 Let's take a break and let's dive into that. So 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.040 Everson Griffin has gone, there's two more pinning moves that 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.640 we've heard about.

When 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.159 you see it in person and you see how big 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:29.080 these massive animals are and how they get after it, 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.440 it's a good show. I ended up taking my h 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:33.639 I took my daughter last year to the four worstok 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:37.800 show on radio. And she never been to watch the bulls. 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:39.480 She had what she was little, but this time she 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.360 actually paid some attention and she was locked in. Bro 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.320 I mean, Danny, she was just boo. I mean, you know, 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.520 her eyes were you know, usually take kids to do 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.720 events and they're looking here and there and they want 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:50.679 to go do this that she was locked in watching 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.480 those bulls. So is it is a show. So I 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.919 would definitely say for the fans of bull riding, you 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.640 want to go. If you've never been and you thought 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.920 about going, it's definitely worth your time. And these these 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.560 bull riders are some of the toughest athletes that you 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.400 will ever meet. In a bunch of these guys can't 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.440 get life insurance or health insurance either. Man. It's it's uh, 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.960 it's challenging the premiums on these guys because of the 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:17.640 kind of broken bones they take. It's uh, it's intense, man, 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:22.679 it is totally. Man. I watched the show called Yellowstone 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.000 where they have a bull ride on there and uh, 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.280 if that is any any true indication or example of 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.000 what goes on, you know, for them in their life 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.520 and their injuries and the stuff that they risk that 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.720 is absolutely crazy and much respect to them, but I 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.840 would never I'm from Houston, so I've seen bull riding before, 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.959 but you know, I had never really focused on it 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.000 and did any research to see how how how it was, 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:47.840 like what type of effect they had on those guys. 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:52.120 And uh, it seems it seems pretty rough. It's good, 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.800 I'm telling you, man, it's it's and they're you know 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.200 what I love about them as athletes, They're they're open books. 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.280 Many they'll let they'll let you come and talk to 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.480 them and they'll talk backstay. I mean, they're great. So 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:03.919 so they do a good job of pulling you in. 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.280 I remember Real Sports did a great little xbosame um 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:11.000 with Brazilian bull riders and and how good they are 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.679 and and just you know their challenges and you know, 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:15.160 for a lot of these guys, you're trying to get 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.359 out of poverty. You're like, this is I mean, you know, 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:19.679 because there's gotta be a little danger in you anyway 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.720 they want to do this, And um, I've always felt 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.679 that you know, sports like boxing and in sports like 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:27.920 you know, bull riding, where you're you're sitting here man, 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.520 and you're risking you know, you basically, put your livelihood 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.159 out here, your life out here. Um, there's got to 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.159 be something in you that's driving you. Man. You know, 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.240 m M and boxing man. You know these are you 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:43.680 know you never see anybody well from Beverly Hills, California, 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.040 from from the Hamptons in New York. You know, these 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.879 are folks that are coming from some tough, tough circumstances. 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.480 There's some tough arm brands um in these sports man, 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.879 And don't let it listen, Listeners, don't let new He 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.359 fool y'all. I'm sure they are open books and they'll 0:19:58.400 --> 0:19:59.879 let people come talk to them. But new He is 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.359 He's a Dallas legend, alright, so they probably won't be 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.000 giving y'all the same access that Knew He knew He 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.479 the Great gets, But I'm sure you may be able 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.879 to get an autograph or something. Look, they're great, man, 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.040 I'll tell you what I absolutely said. I love them 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.919
