Speaker 1: no shit, And you can story. I got a story
Speaker 1: on that. I got a story on that. So um.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is the Players, not by hotels
Speaker 1: dot Com. I'm knew. We Scrudge joined by former Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys players Bury Church and Danny mccraig. So, while I
Speaker 1: was at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, and
Speaker 1: you know, we were working on a step show. We
Speaker 1: were working on a step show and I stepped on
Speaker 1: too many people and they just told me to slide
Speaker 1: on out the wet and definitely me being my boy,
Speaker 1: got to let beat out here. Yeah, me, me, me
Speaker 1: being the ingenious one that I am. I was the
Speaker 1: guy who booked the shows. I was I was smart brother.
Speaker 1: So I was the guy that took care of money
Speaker 1: and took care all the stuff that the venues got
Speaker 1: everything take care of them. So that was my role
Speaker 1: in the fraternity. But the step show, that hopping, that
Speaker 1: was that was not me. My manna, I am not
Speaker 1: gonna sit at the live front. I'm that's one of
Speaker 1: the main Ain't that one of the main things? Like
Speaker 1: the main feature? Yeah show, Ain't that the oh look
Speaker 1: you gotta do Thetomic dog you got that show? Okay?
Speaker 1: The step show is a whole different level of coordination
Speaker 1: then you just getting out here by yourself, you know,
Speaker 1: throwing up the hooks, hopping through your leg and go ahead,
Speaker 1: spinning around doing the Atomic Dog. And that's a whole
Speaker 1: different thing like what you seen. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've ever seen the video of Jabrill Peppers was the
Speaker 1: University of Michigan. They were on a break, he was
Speaker 1: waiting on a punt, they were playing the Atomic Dog,
Speaker 1: and he was out there dancing. That's a whole different
Speaker 1: thing from you trying to go ahead and line up
Speaker 1: and do a step show, okay, because that's coordination, that's
Speaker 1: being able to you know, camp steps and do the
Speaker 1: whole thing, which I ain't gonna sit up here in
Speaker 1: front tier. That's not me. So what we're doing a fraternity, Johnny,
Speaker 1: is we highlight our special skills. What do you bring
Speaker 1: to Omega. I was a smart brother. I took care
Speaker 1: of vine. I took care of money when we may
Speaker 1: shoot it. The fraternity was in the black, we may
Speaker 1: shoot the fraternity was named the sixth district chapter the
Speaker 1: year and we got money for the fraternity. We were
Speaker 1: also a scholarship winner here. So that's how we took
Speaker 1: care of ourselves in Omega. Yes we did smart. Yes,
Speaker 1: I thought about. I thought the story is about to
Speaker 1: go something like. Yeah, man, look back in the day
Speaker 1: when I used to do it, when I used to
Speaker 1: do atomic whatever, I messed around tom acl so I retired. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought for that atomic dog type. See, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about lie. You can't lie in the
Speaker 1: frat because there's gonna be somebody down the way who's
Speaker 1: gonna check your story. So I no, no, you might
Speaker 1: even tell the truth because I mean, he'll get out
Speaker 1: there on you. Boy. Somebody said, there, pull your car
Speaker 1: real quick. No, no, no, So I'll tell you the
Speaker 1: truth now. I'll tell you that. One of the best
Speaker 1: stories is the day I met Shaquille O'Neil for the
Speaker 1: first time and they sitting down interview. He was with
Speaker 1: the Lakers and I was working in Los Angeles. So
Speaker 1: John Black, who ran the Lakers PR he gave everybody
Speaker 1: about I don't know, maybe five six minutes Shaq and
Speaker 1: I go over because Shaq wants to keep talking to
Speaker 1: me because I had on my Megan Sci Fi necklace
Speaker 1: and people saw us talk. Afterwards, we dat we didn't
Speaker 1: and people like I didn't know you knew Shaquille O'Neil.
Speaker 1: I said, the first time we ever got to sit
Speaker 1: down and talk to each other, and they're like really,
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, we have a little secret ball there.
Speaker 1: And then from then, Shaquille O'Neal always, I mean, Shaquille
Speaker 1: always took care of me. How I got my job
Speaker 1: in TV at NBC was through a live shot that
Speaker 1: I ended up doing in Santa Barbara at Lake his
Speaker 1: training camera, Shack hid behind a tree, did the atomic
Speaker 1: dog and then eventually commenced to doing a live shot
Speaker 1: with me as he snuck up on me and tackled me.
Speaker 1: But that is my guy right there. I tell people, Man,
Speaker 1: he can't say nothing bad about Shaquille and Will. That's
Speaker 1: a good brother right there. He was a good freshman person.
Speaker 1: He was a good person period. I remember I was
Speaker 1: dating or a girl at the time in Los Angeles
Speaker 1: said she was teaching the kid who was terminal and
Speaker 1: he wouldn't do his work. And I told him, I said,
Speaker 1: And he was a big Laker fan. I said, look,
Speaker 1: get your graves up for this semester. I will get
Speaker 1: you to a Lakers game and I will have Shaquille
Speaker 1: O'Neill sign a basketball feed and the kid did the work.
Speaker 1: I got him to pass to the game, got him
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, and Shack before he went out on
Speaker 1: the court, stopped and signed the ball for that kid.
Speaker 1: And you should have seen the tears in that kid's eyes.
Speaker 1: And I can't tell you. And you guys in football
Speaker 1: do it totally differently. No, guys, you know, fans don't
Speaker 1: get around you before a game. But these basketball players
Speaker 1: just people. All the time. There was somebody form a maker,
Speaker 1: wish kid. There was always somebody there trying to meet
Speaker 1: Shaquille on there before a game and Shock and I
Speaker 1: give his uncle a whole lot of credit. Man. They
Speaker 1: always took care of people. And the security person too. Um,
Speaker 1: they always took care of people. Man. I can't say
Speaker 1: enough for Shaquille on him man, even he I hope
Speaker 1: you don't know. I hope you don't know you'd be
Speaker 1: able hating No LSU like you do on this radio
Speaker 1: show then, because I think that the attitude might change
Speaker 1: a little bit. Bro. You can't. You can't be hey
Speaker 1: Shock as my guy and then be overle to hayting
Speaker 1: on the hating on the university. That just that that
Speaker 1: don't go together and don't make no sense no especially,
Speaker 1: and you do a lot of hating on the basketball team.
Speaker 1: That's even worse goodness basketball? Hey, hey, hey, would I
Speaker 1: do or was my guy Dale Brown? Love Dale Brown?
Speaker 1: This new cheating coach? Come on, now, you know your
Speaker 1: coach I here? Am I am? I lying? Am I lying?
Speaker 1: And your coach coaches on tape saying I made him
Speaker 1: a strong a offer. Your listen, Louie, I didn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't play basketball. I'm confused on maybe maybe you may
Speaker 1: be confused me with another Danny, like Danny Green or something.
Speaker 1: I played football number one and you know these days,
Speaker 1: no no, I brought LSU basketball up. As when Shaq
Speaker 1: was there, you'd be hating on the team. You're not
Speaker 1: specifically just the coaching. Anytime something bad over on with LSU,
Speaker 1: you you ready to hop on the show and talk
Speaker 1: bad about it. So I'm just saying, bro, That's all
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And church and church and church and church.
Speaker 1: You could be my witness. Knew he is that guy
Speaker 1: because I would two the messages. The game wasn't even
Speaker 1: over with Patrick Peterson who went to LSU and knew
Speaker 1: he couldn't wait to get on that and say, oh
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson just gave up the game. When the touchdown,
Speaker 1: I gonna check the score the Cardinals that won the game.
Speaker 1: He's just ready to talk about fact. I'm talking about fact. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a fact that ain't no fact. They didn't even lose.
Speaker 1: You couldn't wait if I was, If I was ain't hated,
Speaker 1: I was at hater. I just said, it's something about
Speaker 1: that article that came out about Darius. Guys and eds
Speaker 1: want to LSU yesterday. Did I say anything about that?
Speaker 1: How people going after the coach and they're going after
Speaker 1: the problem. Did I say anything about the ansterd You
Speaker 1: just did you? If I want to hate, I would
Speaker 1: have said, like, if I really really I gave you said,
Speaker 1: I gotta bring this up. Man, I'm not gonna hurt
Speaker 1: Danny on Monday like that. I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 1: Today we talked about We talked about this already were listening.
Speaker 1: We talked about this. Guys, if he if he put
Speaker 1: his hands on the woman, he should be in jail.
Speaker 1: We talked, I don't have no problem with that. You know,
Speaker 1: as far as I was winning national championships and all that,
Speaker 1: you know, that's a little different when you got your
Speaker 1: own personal issues outside or whatever, and you you're making
Speaker 1: them type of mistakes. Yeah, that's on you. But like
Speaker 1: I said, you couldn't wait to hate on Pat Pete
Speaker 1: even send me another video on the day of Pat Pete.
Speaker 1: You know, in the whole different game and a whole
Speaker 1: different game they weren't playing. It was about Kobe, I said,
Speaker 1: I've sent a video of Kobe Easley to that I know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but who beat him on the touchdown that when he
Speaker 1: was in coverage? I don't know. I don't know that
Speaker 1: code they were playing, what coverage? No coverage they were
Speaker 1: playing Many Church? What the code? Beach code? Beasley did
Speaker 1: not kiss the touch that? Like, man, I didn't know
Speaker 1: what the coverage was. Man, I didn't know. I didn't know. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, okay, can you tell me what
Speaker 1: that coverage was? Can you tell me what the coverage?
Speaker 1: It's It's hard for me to hate on Penbrooke. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't have much to say. I got. It's a
Speaker 1: little blow man as a low blow man. You ain't
Speaker 1: the water like that. Man. You want to go after
Speaker 1: Division two school. If you want to go after Division
Speaker 1: two school, that's fine. That's fine, free games, free games,
Speaker 1: coree games, everybody, all is fair, all this fan, all
Speaker 1: this fan. I mean you you dives to this whole
Speaker 1: LSU thing. I'm sitting talking about wagon side Fine and
Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neill, and you dive on Shaquie Lsu. It's literally
Speaker 1: perfect goal, fideways Vendetta and I mean this is incredible, man,
Speaker 1: It's incredible. Man, all these all these issues you're bringing
Speaker 1: up here. Man, you sound like the president. Man, you
Speaker 1: are deep seated. Man, you don't kid you go he
Speaker 1: it's like it's feel like it's rig No. Listen, listen
Speaker 1: if anybody sound like the president as you won't been
Speaker 1: talking about fact. This is fact and it ain't fact.
Speaker 1: That didn't happen. You've been just making up stuff. The
Speaker 1: game ain't even over. Are you gonna say, fat, I
Speaker 1: that's a fact. That ain't a fact. That we watched
Speaker 1: the game, the Cardinals won. How How can Patrick Peterson
Speaker 1: give up a game when it touchdown and they won
Speaker 1: the game? I'm confused on how that how that is possible?
Speaker 1: But if you you could possibly explain that to me,
Speaker 1: let me know, please, please tell me how you give
Speaker 1: up a game when it touchdown and you win the game.
Speaker 1: You know what, I did not believe in Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: I didn't think Ayler Murray would get it done. I
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't know Kyler Murray was gonna go out
Speaker 1: there save bacon for everybody. I didn't know that. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. So so it's not a fact. So
Speaker 1: it's not a fact then, right, So it's it's just
Speaker 1: proven it. It was an alternative fact at the time. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was, okay, President, it was about that's Kelly and
Speaker 1: Conway for you right there. President. You don't know how
Speaker 1: to admit that he was wrong. Look at I learned
Speaker 1: from you. I just sent out a tweet today about
Speaker 1: de Hook catching that pass and how Kyler deal everybody's baking.
Speaker 1: So I was happy about them. I was truly happy. Okay,
Speaker 1: by the way, we might as well dive into the
Speaker 1: Cowboys here, because this is one of the topics I've
Speaker 1: heard on some other cowboy podcasts and it brought me
Speaker 1: back to you Church. I now he questioned whether, yes,
Speaker 1: whether or not Andy Dalton is going to have a
Speaker 1: short leash hers A couple of podcasters today talk about
Speaker 1: it was it was Ambergarcia and Nick and David helmon
Speaker 1: Um could could if Andy Dalton doesn't have a good game,
Speaker 1: could he be done after one game and replaced by
Speaker 1: by Grett Gilbert. So I'm gonna ask you too, and
Speaker 1: I'll start with you Church. How far is the leash
Speaker 1: for Andy Dalton in your opinion as he makes his
Speaker 1: return to the lineup against the Vikings on Sunday. But
Speaker 1: it's gotta be short. It's gotta be extremely short, man.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, in the words of legendary Booby Miles. Man,
Speaker 1: if you want to win, let Booby spin. If you
Speaker 1: want to win, let Gilbert spin. I mean, look this, this,
Speaker 1: this momentum, this wave he's riding right now. It's too strong.
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't deny the man. You can't deny
Speaker 1: then eye test. Look Andy Dalton. I thought coming in
Speaker 1: that he would be he would be the savior. I thought,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, we're good, We're in Andy Dalton's hands.
Speaker 1: But you know, after watching what Gilbert did, what he
Speaker 1: displayed on that last Sunday, you know I got a guy.
Speaker 1: I gotta ride with him. He elevated his teammates, he
Speaker 1: made this offense look good. I gotta go with Gilbert
Speaker 1: on this one. Andy Dalton, he said he's gonna get
Speaker 1: the start. They say he's get to start. He's got
Speaker 1: to be on a short leash. I mean, he's got
Speaker 1: him go out there and they got to be drive
Speaker 1: after drive after drive, just looking. He just got to
Speaker 1: look the part. But right now, I still ride with
Speaker 1: my boy double g Okay, Church, you are your own
Speaker 1: administration over here, right because let me let me, let
Speaker 1: me get let me go back, let me go back
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks for you. Right after Andy don't
Speaker 1: uh sealed the game when he came in. After that,
Speaker 1: after that went down, I specifically remember you saying Andy
Speaker 1: don't ball when he got in the game. He got
Speaker 1: out there and should us what he can do, and
Speaker 1: if and if and if Gilbert or somebody else playing,
Speaker 1: then I'm not I'm not saying they gonna win NFC.
Speaker 1: But if Andy Don't get out there and does it,
Speaker 1: does what he did against whatever, then then I'm going
Speaker 1: with them. And then the next week you see you
Speaker 1: see uh, you see one guy go in and look
Speaker 1: like complete, you know, like you know, deering the headlights,
Speaker 1: and then Gilbert come talking about the yeah talk about
Speaker 1: talking about you talking about a wave. This is a way.
Speaker 1: That's the shortest wave I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: You can't serve that way. Wave gotta start, A wave
Speaker 1: gotta start somewhere, you know what I'm saying. Some some
Speaker 1: type of reaction had to happen in the waves started.
Speaker 1: This is just the beginning of it. Don't going on,
Speaker 1: don't waste, don't waste no more money as a cowboy.
Speaker 1: Oh listen, they paid Andy Dalton to be the backup quarterback,
Speaker 1: all right, give the man a shot to be the
Speaker 1: backup quarterback at the beginning of the They No, they didn't.
Speaker 1: He didn't make it a whole game. His offensive lot
Speaker 1: let him getting smacked out of the smacked out of
Speaker 1: the game, and didn't even go get him back here.
Speaker 1: And nobody let him get his back. He ran out
Speaker 1: the pocket on his own, on his own. He got smack.
Speaker 1: Andy Donalton has not had a fair shot to do
Speaker 1: the same thing. And that one game that you over
Speaker 1: talking about Google did listen, No, no, no, no stars,
Speaker 1: no doins. I want you to listen to me. All right,
Speaker 1: you lost again last night, all right, so something is
Speaker 1: wrong with your powers. I'm telling you here. We got
Speaker 1: your powers. Focus start off. Your powers are off. Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton should not have a short event, very short leash,
Speaker 1: because what happens is all of a sudden, he plays bad.
Speaker 1: One game you put Gilbert, then he goes to play bad.
Speaker 1: What do you do? Then you just go back to
Speaker 1: Andy Dog? You keep flip flopping. That's a horrible rest
Speaker 1: of the Gilbert who said Gilbert's playing bad. Gilbert's coming
Speaker 1: in here, He's going up. They need an okay game, bro,
Speaker 1: He had one okay game and they lost. They lost,
Speaker 1: Church Church, they lost. Did you forget they lost? They
Speaker 1: didn't win, They didn't win. You got like this, dude,
Speaker 1: brought us back and won us the game. They against
Speaker 1: the number one team and get the number one team
Speaker 1: in the NFL against the number one team in the NFL.
Speaker 1: They lost. They lost a pick. What do you mean
Speaker 1: he lost? He got through his hands to the face.
Speaker 1: That should have been we all saw that. We all
Speaker 1: saw it. It should have been hand to the face.
Speaker 1: That's the only reason they went down like that. They
Speaker 1: got rob what we all what we all saw was
Speaker 1: them lose. Andy Dog should not have a very short least.
Speaker 1: He should have a fair shot to go out there
Speaker 1: and get this team rolling, because that's what they brought
Speaker 1: him in here to do. You will give you will
Speaker 1: give them half a game to go out there and
Speaker 1: say that he doesn't look good enough to play, and
Speaker 1: when when game don't make no sense. He had Arizona,
Speaker 1: he had Washington had enough sample size. We've seen what
Speaker 1: he can do. We've seen what he can do. Now
Speaker 1: is Gilbert's turn. Is Gilbert's turned to ride? This way,
Speaker 1: You're gonna get Gilbert put out the league riding. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get I'm gonna get Gilbert a second contract. That's
Speaker 1: what's going on. First off, mccrai is right, McCray is right.
Speaker 1: There we go, Danny. Here's another thing I would say,
Speaker 1: if you know, if you're Gilbert, the best thing for
Speaker 1: you is to not play, to let the crowd of
Speaker 1: people like Burry Church and other people be excited and
Speaker 1: hope to see you. Then they put you, wrap you up,
Speaker 1: and then you just sign yourself a nice little contract
Speaker 1: for multi years. That's the best thing that Seish selfishness
Speaker 1: knew he talked about. That's a selfishness, man, That's that's
Speaker 1: that's that mentality. First you talk about we need to
Speaker 1: give up and get these these high draft picks. Now,
Speaker 1: you talking about Gilbert need to just relax. It's because
Speaker 1: you don't want to see Double G take this team
Speaker 1: to success. Man, we all know what's gonna happen if
Speaker 1: if Double G get there behind the center, he's gonna
Speaker 1: lead him to success. And I'm telling ya, I'm telling
Speaker 1: they need to ride with Gilbert. Hold on, church, Church, Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: I got I got an example for your church. Let's
Speaker 1: say you go out there and you're playing in a game,
Speaker 1: right and you and you got two picks in the
Speaker 1: first half and were blowing them out. Do you want
Speaker 1: to go back in for a second half or you
Speaker 1: want to leave on a good note with them two
Speaker 1: picks for that film session on Monday. Well, we ain't
Speaker 1: talking about me right now, exactly. You want to leave
Speaker 1: out that good feeling, just like he said, Gilbert should
Speaker 1: leave out with a good feelings so he can get
Speaker 1: paid next year. That's that's exactly what's going on. Selfishness.
Speaker 1: Selfishness when you when we were talking about a corner,
Speaker 1: the quarterback is a different position and you gotta at
Speaker 1: the quarterback in the safety. That's that's a different that's
Speaker 1: a different beast all in its own, that's a different beast,
Speaker 1: quarterback different. They got to ride with my boy Gilbert.
Speaker 1: And I go back to you, Danny. I go back
Speaker 1: to this situation where when we first saw Gilbert play.
Speaker 1: He came in off the bench for McCord and that
Speaker 1: BCS championship game against Alabama and Texas at that point
Speaker 1: in time was getting taken to the woodshed. Gilbert gave
Speaker 1: them a spark. They ended up losing, but he kind
Speaker 1: of helped make it close, and then Alabama pulled away
Speaker 1: and everyone spoke about, hey man, we got Garrett Gilbert
Speaker 1: come here. This guy's a real deal. This guy's gonna
Speaker 1: be so good at Texas. I mean you just wait, man,
Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert's gonna be the next Vince Young and next
Speaker 1: McCoy's gonna take us back to the championship. And you
Speaker 1: know what he did, nothing ended up transferring and going
Speaker 1: to a SMU. So sometimes you may want to leave it.
Speaker 1: Just leave him on that high note, man, Okay, It's
Speaker 1: like an episode of a good show. You know, at
Speaker 1: the end, you're like, oh man, I wanted to see
Speaker 1: more from Garret Gilbert. Let Andy don't write that thing
Speaker 1: to the end of the year, and then you just
Speaker 1: signed a nice contract afterwards. Let's take our first break

Speaker 1: time reporter covering the Cowboys joined by two former Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys players, Danny mccraig and Barry Church. Today, on his
Speaker 1: one oh five three the Fan radio show, owner Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones came out and said that the Dallas Cowboys coaches
Speaker 1: and staff are staying at the Omni Hotel, that they're
Speaker 1: kind of doing their own self quarantine to try and
Speaker 1: take care of the players. Mccraig, your thoughts on the
Speaker 1: coaches and staff making that move. I think it's smart
Speaker 1: if you look outside of the builder you see here
Speaker 1: in Texas in a lot of other places, the cases
Speaker 1: on a rise, and you seeing it effect a lot
Speaker 1: of teams around the league games having to be counsel.
Speaker 1: So I think it's time to go to extreme measures
Speaker 1: and see see every you know, try everything you can
Speaker 1: do to stop this thing from spreading and affecting your team,
Speaker 1: you know, and the health of your players. So I
Speaker 1: think it's smart. Uh, you know, I wish we could
Speaker 1: have done it earlier, but I mean sometimes it's just
Speaker 1: not realistic, especially when you've got so many guys in
Speaker 1: the NFL. But I'm glad we're doing it now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's an extremely smart move. I mean, like
Speaker 1: mccraize said, we've seen how it can affect a team
Speaker 1: and how it can do into a team down, I mean,
Speaker 1: losing people, and we've already lost enough all pros and
Speaker 1: we've already lost enough players as is. With them doing this, hopefully,
Speaker 1: you know, if if it's spreading were to happen, it
Speaker 1: can be contained. So I think it's a smart idea
Speaker 1: and hopefully going forward, more teams adapt the same type
Speaker 1: of protocol. All right, So the Cowboys trying to make
Speaker 1: sure they do their part. Also, Jerry Jones was very
Speaker 1: very revealing where he says, at his age, he treats
Speaker 1: every person like they have COVID. So Jerry's trying to
Speaker 1: make sure that he stays safe in this environment, and
Speaker 1: obviously all you have to do is is listen to
Speaker 1: the folks who are involved in infectious diseases. And they've said,
Speaker 1: they said all summer long, it's gonna get bad in
Speaker 1: the wintertime, and it has in some of the cases
Speaker 1: that we've seen, especially up north. It's sad, man, it
Speaker 1: is sad. So everyone do what you can, wear of
Speaker 1: asking and be as safe as you possibly can. I
Speaker 1: know I've tried to be a little bit better, even
Speaker 1: just just last week, as I'm going places and doing
Speaker 1: some more things here. I had to go up to
Speaker 1: a drive through today and I just put on a mask,
Speaker 1: even though I was to drive through with the bank teller.
Speaker 1: Just just trying to do my part here. Last night,
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings ended up winning over the Chicago Berries
Speaker 1: on the road. Minnesota is going to host the Cowboys
Speaker 1: on Sunday. It was a nineteen thirteen game. Minnesota was
Speaker 1: favored by three and a half points. Danny McCrae, you
Speaker 1: got it right. You picked up Minnesota to win twenty
Speaker 1: four seventeen. I had Minnesota winning. Uh Nostredamins aka Barry
Speaker 1: Church has Chicago winning twenty four seventeen, and I specifically
Speaker 1: remember Church talking about his leaf and Nick Foles and
Speaker 1: nick Foles line, it's fifteen to twenty six for one
Speaker 1: hundred and six yards and a dick and oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, they knocked that kid out. He left on
Speaker 1: the stretch on the car. So if I'm Gilbert, if
Speaker 1: I'm Gilbert, I did not want Church picking me as
Speaker 1: the guy. There we go. Man, Look, look I've been wrong.
Speaker 1: I've been wrong about quarterbacks in the past, so you know,
Speaker 1: you know he didn't have my back on this one.
Speaker 1: He didn't have my back on this one. But it's
Speaker 1: all right because look, the majority of my powers. Look,
Speaker 1: I was focused, as the man J G used to say,
Speaker 1: focus on the task at hand, And I was focusing
Speaker 1: on the task at hand, which is being the Cowboys
Speaker 1: winning the NFCS. You know, the Bears, they let me down.
Speaker 1: But you know, everything's gonna be right because we're focused
Speaker 1: on the task at hand. So so so no other
Speaker 1: picks that you make this year matter. Only the only
Speaker 1: the Cowboys pick matter. So you shouldn't pick number teams
Speaker 1: because all your powers are going to the Cowboys. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I ain't say that. I ain't say that. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying the majority that my buyers are going to the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: and that's what's gonna happen. You see, it's already going there,
Speaker 1: and it's going that direction. The snowballs in that direction.
Speaker 1: Why because we're going to the playoffs. That's why I'm
Speaker 1: saying where the snowfall started? Where did it start? It
Speaker 1: started in Philly. It started in Philly. With a loss
Speaker 1: in Philly, Pittsburgh offensively picked up, and now we're just
Speaker 1: gonna get these dubs rolling. That's that's exactly. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: what happened. That's all right, Okay, okay, it's all right, Church,
Speaker 1: since you want to roll right now, let's dive in
Speaker 1: the linebacker Shaan Lee and the possibility of Sean Lee
Speaker 1: getting some more snaps. He's coming off injury, so I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know if they've got don't want
Speaker 1: to pitch count at all right now, but your thoughts
Speaker 1: on maybe seeing Sean Lee a little bit more in
Speaker 1: Minnesota against Kirk Cousins in that Vikings offense. Man, this one, this,
Speaker 1: this one, this was a tough one because you know
Speaker 1: Sean he brings so much to table as far as
Speaker 1: Lee your ship. But I mean, he's coming off an
Speaker 1: injury where he missed what I believe six weeks Ye
Speaker 1: had some type of sports hernia injury. And you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know how well he can run out there.
Speaker 1: So but going against Minnesota, I mean, we're gonna need
Speaker 1: somebody that's that's informative when it comes to the run defense,
Speaker 1: that can go in there and plug gaps and fix
Speaker 1: things when people are messed up, Like if a defender,
Speaker 1: if a defensive tackle, you know him hit the wrong
Speaker 1: gap or something. He's the type of guy that can
Speaker 1: fix that just because of his knowledge of the game.
Speaker 1: So for me, you know, I wouldn't have a problem
Speaker 1: with him going in there and still in a few
Speaker 1: snaps from Jalen Smith. I would leave vander Eschen there
Speaker 1: because he seems to be getting on a role here,
Speaker 1: But for me, I wouldn't mind him taking a couple
Speaker 1: of snaps. Yeah, I don't know. I don't I'm not
Speaker 1: really sure where Sean Lee kind of fits in in
Speaker 1: this defense, or if if Nolan could come up with
Speaker 1: some packages to get him a little bit more playing time.
Speaker 1: We do know that Minnesota's gonna come here and try
Speaker 1: to run the ball, but they also run it out
Speaker 1: of they running out of eleven and they run it
Speaker 1: out of twil they're running out of twenty two, so
Speaker 1: it'll be a run from a lot of different personnel,
Speaker 1: so they'll have to find a way to get him in.
Speaker 1: I want to see him get at, you know, a
Speaker 1: little bit more playing time, but I don't know if
Speaker 1: I would take it away from Jalen, who can make
Speaker 1: some players rushing the passer, you know, and stopping those screens.
Speaker 1: And like you said, vander esh is playing a little
Speaker 1: bit better as it gets more comfortable coming off the injury.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's hard for me to say, you know,
Speaker 1: mess up the rhythm that these guys are starting to
Speaker 1: get in. This is a week where linebackers, you're gonna
Speaker 1: need to really be solid the way they play because
Speaker 1: you know, the Vikings are gonna try and run the
Speaker 1: ball with Dalvin Cook, who's an excellent running back. And
Speaker 1: then what I saw a lot of last night was
Speaker 1: how they were taking their tight ends and having the
Speaker 1: tight ends chip and then rolling them out there and
Speaker 1: they were catching passes. So Kyle Rudolph had a nice game.
Speaker 1: Er Smith was out of the game, so I don't know,
Speaker 1: I Er Smith is gonna be able to will he
Speaker 1: be playing against the Cowboys bec there's another guy who
Speaker 1: who's also can you lay down a chip, get out
Speaker 1: there and coverage? So it's gonna be it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a challenge for these Cowboys linebackers because of the way
Speaker 1: they like to play football here. So whether they're trying
Speaker 1: to the tight ends are trying to block, or the
Speaker 1: tight ends are trying to sit out here and go
Speaker 1: out of the coverage. Now, the tight ends did have
Speaker 1: some some big holding calls. I mean they probably cast
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook about forty fifty yards in this game because
Speaker 1: they got caught holding. Yeah, this is true, and that's
Speaker 1: why I think a guy like Sean can stuff up
Speaker 1: in there, and you know he might, he might, you know,
Speaker 1: provide us with some assistance. I mean, look, we need
Speaker 1: all the help we can get. But when it comes
Speaker 1: to coverage, I mean, who do you put in there?
Speaker 1: Do you put Jalen over Sean as far as coverage
Speaker 1: or do you or do you leave? I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know. That's a tough one. That's a tough one.
Speaker 1: That's that's tough because because you really don't know what
Speaker 1: Sean Lee can do in coverage coming off the injury,
Speaker 1: like you said, um and like you know, and and
Speaker 1: as bad as Kirk Cousins can play, sometimes the passing,
Speaker 1: attacking and some of the weapons that they have out there,
Speaker 1: they like to attack the middle of the field, So
Speaker 1: you're going to need your linebackers to be out there
Speaker 1: getting that underneath coverage and helping some of those cornerbacks out.
Speaker 1: So you need somebody who's aware it can move. That's
Speaker 1: why it's kind of a toss up in the passing situations.
Speaker 1: But as far as is stopping to run and making
Speaker 1: impact plays, I still like Jaylen Smith to be that
Speaker 1: guy who can who can create some of those plays,
Speaker 1: you know, either be rushing the pastor shooting some gaps
Speaker 1: or at tackling those guys on the screen with its
Speaker 1: good recognition. So so, Danny, is it in the point
Speaker 1: in time now where we could talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't want to get Sean Lee hurt, but it's
Speaker 1: almost deaf Con five and trying to win some games.
Speaker 1: So do you just not put him out there and
Speaker 1: just just just let it ride. If you're the Cowboys, well,
Speaker 1: well it's not about not getting them hurt. I still
Speaker 1: think that Jayla could make more plays in certain situations,
Speaker 1: and LV is also making plays. So I think you
Speaker 1: just have to fight, like you have to kind of
Speaker 1: force a way for him to get on the field
Speaker 1: and be there consistently, you know, without him having to
Speaker 1: come in you know, spot players here and there. I
Speaker 1: don't want to see him taking away snaps from Jaylen
Speaker 1: Smith when Jayles Smith could rush the pastor you know
Speaker 1: and create some turnovers or read some hav having in
Speaker 1: the backfield and LV is making some play. So it's
Speaker 1: just hard. It's hard for me to say, yeah, push
Speaker 1: you on Lee in there and take snaps away from
Speaker 1: from those guys. All right, let's take our second break

Speaker 1: Church and Danny mccraige. They both play in the National
Speaker 1: Football for the Cowboys. So we all saw that that
Speaker 1: miracle plague they're calling get the Hail Murray where Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray avoid the Bills rusher keeps on his feet going
Speaker 1: toward the left, gathers his feet, throws the ball to
Speaker 1: the end zone, and DeAndre Hopkins jumps it, gets three
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills players and brings it down. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start with you, Church, what is the Monday film session
Speaker 1: like for the Buffalo Bills who lost their game on
Speaker 1: a hail Mary? In the zine? Man, Well, unfortunately, Man,
Speaker 1: I know this this play all too well, seeing as
Speaker 1: though back and I believe it was twenty twelve, Detroit
Speaker 1: came down to Dallas and Calvin Johnson had a day
Speaker 1: on us man, and I think it was right before
Speaker 1: halftime he had threw up the store up of hell
Speaker 1: Mary passed to him. Just you know, just a jump
Speaker 1: ball and it was me. I think Sean Lee was there,
Speaker 1: and I think Malcolm Malcolm Jenkins, Mike Jenkins was back
Speaker 1: there the corner that we used to have for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: and I thought we were in great coverage. I was
Speaker 1: even holding him, I was holding them down, and the
Speaker 1: man just like I wasn't even there, Like I was
Speaker 1: just on four a rat. He just lifted off with
Speaker 1: me on his back, Sean Lee on his side, and
Speaker 1: Mike Jenis comes running in. It's just nothing we could do. Man.
Speaker 1: I was like climbing the tower and this dude just
Speaker 1: caught it, landing on his feet, kind of shook us
Speaker 1: off like some leaves and just kept walking. Man. It
Speaker 1: was It was embarrassing, man. So I can only imagine,
Speaker 1: you know, what these cats you know up in Buffalo
Speaker 1: are going through in the film study right now, man,
Speaker 1: especially seeing the post conference when DeAndre Hopkins was just
Speaker 1: talking about yeah, you know, they were in good position,
Speaker 1: but it was just a better catch by me or
Speaker 1: by I, Like he just just talking down to the guys.
Speaker 1: So I mean it, it definitely got to be embarrassing.
Speaker 1: But that's a tough play, man, tough play, Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you this, they're definitely going over that on Friday
Speaker 1: and Saturday. They going over that exact situation, and we
Speaker 1: talked about it in the break. You see one guy
Speaker 1: come in and knocked your Davious White off off of them.
Speaker 1: Usually usually usually in that play, you have one jumper
Speaker 1: and you have everybody else boxing out, and every everybody
Speaker 1: went up to jump, and you know, you know, the better,
Speaker 1: the better guy came down with it. That was a
Speaker 1: heck of a played by him. But I would have
Speaker 1: liked to see some of the other guys not jumped
Speaker 1: in that underneath coverage playing the out routes and get
Speaker 1: back there and help those guys out as well, because
Speaker 1: you saw some guys up there playing fifteen twenty yards
Speaker 1: up trying to stop people from going from catching catching
Speaker 1: balls before the end zone. So they're gonna go over
Speaker 1: that on Friday and Saturday and trying to make sure
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen again. All right, Cowboys taking on the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings up there at US Bank Stadium. It is
Speaker 1: a mini Jerry World. I was there that first season.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys ended up playing a Thursday night game there.
Speaker 1: They ended up in a good game that they won,
Speaker 1: but uh, it's it's very reminiscent of going at at
Speaker 1: and T Stadium where there's a bar and the players
Speaker 1: come out through that through that bar. The receiver I'm
Speaker 1: most worried about is Justin Jefferson. It's not Adam Feeling.
Speaker 1: It is Justin Jefferson. And how he was the fifth
Speaker 1: receiver taking in the first round is mind boggling. Man.
Speaker 1: Here's the kid who was outstanding at LSU, one of
Speaker 1: the guys that Joe Burrow went to and they won
Speaker 1: a national championship. He went fit and in Philadelphia because
Speaker 1: the Philly media lets nothing slide, they were on Jalen
Speaker 1: Rager about how Justin Jefferson has been so much better
Speaker 1: than him as a rookie, and Jayleen Ragor It's like, man,
Speaker 1: I've been hurt. Man. You know, he's done what he did,
Speaker 1: but I've been hurt. I mean, it is hilarious, man.
Speaker 1: And I've heard a couple of people you know around here, um,
Speaker 1: you know, saying about CD Lamb. Well, you know, look,
Speaker 1: George Jefferson's Justin Jefferson, I should say, not his brother,
Speaker 1: but Justin Jefferson is better than CD Lamb. I mean, uh,
Speaker 1: if here the Cowboys, you better look out for that
Speaker 1: young man because he is really good. I'll let you
Speaker 1: take it from there, Danny mccrep oh, listen, you know
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pat myself on the back because before the
Speaker 1: draft I specifically said I hope that we pick up
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson because we watched him play the entire season
Speaker 1: and he was one of the best route runners they
Speaker 1: came out of the draft, and he was the best
Speaker 1: run after the catch guys that came came out of
Speaker 1: the draft, and we, you know, unfortunately weren't able to
Speaker 1: get but in my heart, I knew that he was
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those top guys because if you
Speaker 1: come out and you know how to run routes that way,
Speaker 1: and you know how to present yourself to the quarterback
Speaker 1: and get open, you're gonna be able to make some plays.
Speaker 1: And he is playing outstanding. So Thieland is playing well,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna need somebody to have an eye on
Speaker 1: Justine Jefferson because if not, we see he can go
Speaker 1: for one of those two hundred yard or two touchdown games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he did that last night against a Bears defense
Speaker 1: who and I believe it's one of the top defenses
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. So I think this dude,
Speaker 1: this dude's legit. Man, this dude is nasty. They move
Speaker 1: him around and get him open. He just not, you know,
Speaker 1: a premier outside receiver. He doesn't in the slot. He's
Speaker 1: very quarterback friendly. So he reminds me of Senee Lamb
Speaker 1: in that way, because they both threw a lot of
Speaker 1: their damage out of the slot. But this is a
Speaker 1: guy that we got a key on, especially in the secondary.
Speaker 1: I mean, usually we would have a dig type of
Speaker 1: guy to kind of shut that number one down, But
Speaker 1: without him being there, I'm not sure who you kind
Speaker 1: of throw on him, because this dude is he's nasty
Speaker 1: as far as it comes with the route running. But
Speaker 1: for me, it's still all boils down to Dalvin Cook.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, we know they have weapons outside
Speaker 1: with the Lynn and Jefferson and IRV Smith and those boys,
Speaker 1: but we all know this offense lives and breathe through
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. And this one's gonna be a tough one.
Speaker 1: I know, I got us going six and ten, but
Speaker 1: it is one of the games I don't see us
Speaker 1: stealing because I mean, that's a grown man back there
Speaker 1: in that backfield, and we see what he was able
Speaker 1: to do to Chicago, carrying them going on along for
Speaker 1: the ride. So for me, it's gonna be a tough one.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough one overall. Church Church, as
Speaker 1: you was describing justin Jefferson, I closed my eyes and
Speaker 1: I was I was like, if this guy didn't say
Speaker 1: the name, I would assume that you was talking about
Speaker 1: a guy name of Mary Cooper. We should be doing
Speaker 1: the same thing with him, moving around. He's crisp on
Speaker 1: his routes. You move around, create some matchups and let
Speaker 1: him let him do what he does best, which is
Speaker 1: route dvs up and get open and make plays with
Speaker 1: the ball. Is answer. That's what I thought you were
Speaker 1: talking about. But you still think Amary got that though
Speaker 1: you still think he got that absolutely. Mary Cooper is
Speaker 1: still one of the best route runners in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and if you get the ball in his hands, he
Speaker 1: can make the plays. I fully believe it. A hundred
Speaker 1: million dollar guy, if you give him a chance, he
Speaker 1: can be worth something close to it. We just need
Speaker 1: to give him the opportunities. So who should get more ops?
Speaker 1: Thole should Cedee Lamb get more option. Gallup, Are you
Speaker 1: saying we should solely focus on Coop and then you know,
Speaker 1: let the other targets kind of trickle out themselves. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: What I'm going to echo this for the entire season.
Speaker 1: The offense should focus on especially down Zeke and Amari Cooper,
Speaker 1: and then it's everybody else should live off of that.
Speaker 1: You should be focused on getting nineteen the ball, making
Speaker 1: the defense focus on him, and then letting everything else
Speaker 1: open up. When you when you take him out of
Speaker 1: the game and you don't give the ball and you
Speaker 1: make it easy on the defense, he's pretty much irrelevant
Speaker 1: out there. But Craig preach, preach because I go back
Speaker 1: to when the Cowboys were three and five and they
Speaker 1: make this trade for a MARII Cooper and then they
Speaker 1: went on that run and save Jason Garrett's job. It
Speaker 1: was Amari Cooper, and I don't know, maybe they brought
Speaker 1: too many other roosters into the henhouse because when it
Speaker 1: was just Cooper is the guy they were feeding him,
Speaker 1: they were winning. And you know, I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is supposed to be an equal opportunity offense now
Speaker 1: or what, but but we're not seeing Cooper get fed.
Speaker 1: When Cooper is fed, We've seen the results, and so
Speaker 1: I think mccraig, you've been preaching on this all year long,
Speaker 1: and I think you're all point there. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't understand that maybe this is what Kellen Moore wants
Speaker 1: to do. But but I think you're right. Figure out
Speaker 1: a way to force feed nineteen through football if you
Speaker 1: have to. Y'all want, y'all want to know what I'm look,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell y'all what's gonna happen you. I want
Speaker 1: to replicate that feeling. Y'all want that same type of
Speaker 1: say the season how Mark Cooper kind of did us
Speaker 1: back then when we were three and five. Gotta let
Speaker 1: your boy Gilbert spin. Y'all want those same type of results.
Speaker 1: Y'all want that wave, y'all want that that stretch of winds.
Speaker 1: Y'all gotta let my boy Gilbert spin. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: it's going down either way, because because Don't will be
Speaker 1: on a short leash. Either way, it's going down. Gilbert
Speaker 1: is gonna take over. And that way that y'all talking
Speaker 1: about that streak that saved the lot of jobs, it's
Speaker 1: gonna happen again. No, nue. He's not listening to us.
Speaker 1: That's not what we want. That's what you want. We're
Speaker 1: not asking for that. I'm just telling y'all what's gonna
Speaker 1: happen this six and ten? Making the playoffs again, stumped
Speaker 1: out in the first round, That's what That's the way
Speaker 1: that you want. The way that we want is load
Speaker 1: up in the draft picks, fix your old line and
Speaker 1: fix your defense. Bring somebody in here to runner for three.
Speaker 1: That's the way that we want. We are total opposite
Speaker 1: and what you're talking about, y'all see, I'll remain in
Speaker 1: schedule for y'all. See all remaining schedule. I see a
Speaker 1: lot of too. We can't get to six and ten.
Speaker 1: Y'all telling me we can't get to six and ten.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of those on the Well, you
Speaker 1: know I brought up. I brought up justin Jefferson. And
Speaker 1: one of the things that I'm thinking is somewhere along
Speaker 1: the way, no one's gonna have to go send some
Speaker 1: heat at at Kirk Cousins because we saw how affective
Speaker 1: Chicago was with that. So that means you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to leave some guys one on one. And when I
Speaker 1: think about Jefferson one on one against Cheeto, who's coming
Speaker 1: back and hasn't played a lot this year. He's been injured.
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. I mean, man, we could see a fifty
Speaker 1: four yarder. We could see a bomb, I mean easily.
Speaker 1: So these Cowboys dvs. Remember, Digs is out. They have
Speaker 1: not shown me, Barry that they can be trusted. So
Speaker 1: you can roll off the six and ten record here.
Speaker 1: As barselves used to say, all I can go by
Speaker 1: is what I see. And until I see the Cowboys
Speaker 1: defensive backs get out here, stop getting beat on big plays.
Speaker 1: This is the type of team, this is the type
Speaker 1: of wide receiving corps that can make those big plays.
Speaker 1: I'm worried he did. I'm a little bit worried too,
Speaker 1: But I think this defensive line is getting it together. Man.
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna start getting more pressure with just four.
Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna have to send as much,
Speaker 1: you know, as many blitzes as we did in the past.
Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna be able to start getting
Speaker 1: more pressure with d Law hopefully Alden Smith and you know,
Speaker 1: my boy Neville Galimore is gonna bring it too. So
Speaker 1: for me, if we can do that if we can
Speaker 1: get that pressure coming with just for it or leave
Speaker 1: a lot more options to cover the Jeffersons the feelings
Speaker 1: of the world. So maybe we put that game plan together,
Speaker 1: we get a W. And at Minnesota, who do you
Speaker 1: resign in the off season? Do you resign Cheeto or
Speaker 1: do you resign Lewis? What do you do there? McCray,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna getting at the church because y'all, you know,
Speaker 1: every time I'm talking about a cornerback on this team,
Speaker 1: always negative. So I'm at church. Church. You take this one, bro,
Speaker 1: you take this one. I don't want to. I was
Speaker 1: saying I was just feed off of it. I got nothing,
Speaker 1: I got nothing to start. I'm giving it to you.
Speaker 1: You got it first. McCray. I don't see the problem,
Speaker 1: but you know I'll take it. I'll take the y'all
Speaker 1: take the question. Man. I think I think you got
Speaker 1: something in Diggs that you can build upon. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've seen him have his ups and downs so far
Speaker 1: this season, but he's battled, he's competed, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: he's made a tough one receiver. So I think you
Speaker 1: got something kind of a cornerstone's up at the one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's not up. Yeah, he's up. I understand that. I
Speaker 1: understand that I got to my point. I'm getting to
Speaker 1: my point, so I think you got the time to
Speaker 1: get to it. All right, I'm gonna just break it up,
Speaker 1: gonna baking it down quickly. I'm gonna break it down quick. Cheeto.
Speaker 1: You gotta keep them because you just can't leave Digs
Speaker 1: being the only only guy. They're kind of vet experience.
Speaker 1: They're at cornerback. So I think you gotta keep a
Speaker 1: woozier um Lewis and and Brown. Well, Lewis is up,
Speaker 1: so I think you gotta let him walk. And uh
Speaker 1: and Brown. I think Brown now Brown just resign. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta keep you. Yeah, okay, so you gotta keep Cheo.
Speaker 1: Let Lewis walk. Yep, McCrae, gotta Lewis walk. This This
Speaker 1: is something I gotta answer, you know, as we go
Speaker 1: further into the season, as we need to match up
Speaker 1: and get some of these some of these topics. If
Speaker 1: it's no, no, if it's today, I'm not keeping I'm
Speaker 1: not keeping in any one up if it's today. But
Speaker 1: we also answer that is correct. Yeah, but we we
Speaker 1: also know that that that the coaching that they're receiving
Speaker 1: may be a little off. We know that the defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator may be a little off so far. So you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff is playing into it, you know,
Speaker 1: to be at the end of the year. Last year,
Speaker 1: we thought George Lewis was gonna be one of those
Speaker 1: guys who was having to gonna have a great season
Speaker 1: this year because he had the talent to be to
Speaker 1: you know, to make some things happen. So I'm not
Speaker 1: going to just throw that by the wayside. But I
Speaker 1: need to see if Church saying that the defense is
Speaker 1: turning the corner here, I need to see how these
Speaker 1: guys play against Justine Jefferson and theland and when they
Speaker 1: get out there, you know, and continue to play against
Speaker 1: some top receivers, how they perform throughout the rest of
Speaker 1: the season. I got to see how that goes before
Speaker 1: I say let them both off. But as of today,
Speaker 1: I would let them let them both up, and I
Speaker 1: would throw this, I would throw this other factor into
Speaker 1: it as well. Maybe they don't want to play for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys anymore, Maybe they want to go play for
Speaker 1: another team. And if they bring and I expect them
Speaker 1: to bring in a new defensive coordinator and most likely
Speaker 1: a new defensive backs coach. So maybe that new DC,
Speaker 1: a new new corner coach, may want someone else as well.
Speaker 1: Maybe they have a specific type of player that they want.
Speaker 1: And if the Cowboys get high enough in this draft,
Speaker 1: let's just say they're picking third man. You got the ability.
Speaker 1: Now at three, maybe somebody wants to make a trade
Speaker 1: and get up here and get a quarterback because you
Speaker 1: know that by U quarterback is a guy people are
Speaker 1: talking about. I mean, so you could trade down, possibly
Speaker 1: rack up, and get yourself several pieces in the first
Speaker 1: round to go ahead and improve this football team. And
Speaker 1: maybe you're getting the Patrick's team junior from Alabama, or
Speaker 1: another corner and maybe a defensive end. Of mean, you
Speaker 1: got options. So that's why McCray and I are thinking
Speaker 1: about twenty twenty one. This draft. The Cowboys could really
Speaker 1: do some wheeling and dealer with a high enough pick
Speaker 1: to do some stuff while Churches out here trying to
Speaker 1: go six and ten for a first round beat down.
Speaker 1: Anything can happen in the tournament. I can't believe him here,
Speaker 1: including to beat from mc can't believe that McCray from
Speaker 1: your right, this is ridiculous. All right, that's the show
Speaker 1: for the day. We're gonna let mccraig go do his thing.
Speaker 1: We're gonna let Church drink his Mike Nolan kool aid
Speaker 1: of six and ten, and we'll see where it all goes.
Speaker 1: We will do the Players Lounge tomorrow. I appreciate everybody
Speaker 1: checking us out and our man Chris being the producer
Speaker 1: who makes everything happen. Chris. We all appreciate you, man.

Speaker 1: don't appreciate that. But you had a cool leg though,
