Speaker 2: boy Jay Holly is in here with the cast of
Speaker 2: crew on the Players Lounge. Barry Church, Anthony dor Said I,
Speaker 2: and Jesse Howy. This is the Players Lounge, brought to
Speaker 2: you by Aristocrat. It is We're here season, We are good.
Speaker 2: This is game week. There's no more preseason. The Micah
Speaker 2: Parsons Grama is over. We're not talking about who gonn
Speaker 2: play in the preseason game. No more press conferences. It
Speaker 2: is now time to put up or shut up. The
Speaker 2: Cowboys take on the Philadelphia Eagles Thursday Night Football.
Speaker 3: And uh.
Speaker 2: Going on. My shirt is green because I was representing
Speaker 2: the Big Brothers Big Program. I'm just trying to make
Speaker 2: sure that we like that. They might have been found
Speaker 2: brother he lost got another guy in that bear trap,
Speaker 2: didn't you, yeah, I put I called Chris early because
Speaker 2: he hit me with the green too. I'm just trying
Speaker 2: to do good for the community. I'm trying to make
Speaker 2: sure that that bear trap didn't I thought.
Speaker 4: It was for that all that money that you got
Speaker 4: over there, you know, coming from road that Jesse big big.
Speaker 4: I ain't go hid, I say somebody, I like, like,
Speaker 4: I just want to be.
Speaker 5: Like the hide the I'm thank you Lord.
Speaker 2: But getting into the game beforehand, contract done, d ron
Speaker 2: Bland signed him big money. Pay the man, four year
Speaker 2: extension ninety two million dollars.
Speaker 6: How much as that guaranteed? Fifty fitty fitty. I don't
Speaker 6: want to be the baron back. It's really two years
Speaker 6: extension thirty four million dollars because after the first two
Speaker 6: years and more money is guaranteed. But it's money, nonetheless,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: But you gotta look at the you go look at
Speaker 7: he got, Prince.
Speaker 4: He's still getting is he getting thirty four thirty four thirty.
Speaker 2: Thirty four right now? But listen, pick fifty a guy
Speaker 2: who looked like he was going to be that's great money,
Speaker 2: and it's the Cowboys locked the guy up for the
Speaker 2: next couple of years and.
Speaker 8: You still go and he could still go get paid
Speaker 8: if he does what he's supposed to do.
Speaker 4: Because if he lives.
Speaker 8: Up to that contract, we all know that obviously they're
Speaker 8: gonna make you sit into about that third year, get
Speaker 8: to that final stretch, then you get that extra leg
Speaker 8: to it.
Speaker 4: But if he lives up.
Speaker 8: To that contract, he's gonna be coming over there telling them, hey,
Speaker 8: let's let's get to a year like years, how.
Speaker 4: Would that put him at whatever young.
Speaker 8: You can still go hit to bring show one more time.
Speaker 8: So for him, like it's a maybe when they said
Speaker 8: it's a team friendly deal. The numbers look good and
Speaker 8: it's a lot of fluff on the outside, but when
Speaker 8: you get to like what Big Mama used to say,
Speaker 8: the meat and the potatoes of it, thirty four million
Speaker 8: for the next two years guaranteed deserve too, And like
Speaker 8: he's with all the stuff that's been going around with
Speaker 8: not only from his play and being a veteran in
Speaker 8: that lockership, but in the in the such dire need
Speaker 8: time in space of the cowboys of that veteran leadership.
Speaker 4: We know we have that, you know you have CD.
Speaker 8: But on that defensive side, there's no more, Michael Parson,
Speaker 8: Trayvon Diggs, you know that TSAGA has been what it's been,
Speaker 8: so now it's like, hey, let's pay you, young bull,
Speaker 8: and you rightfully so you earned it. So what they say,
Speaker 8: you just got to strike when the pot is hot,
Speaker 8: and helucked up and did that.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Trayvon Diggs, he's a guy who has been
Speaker 2: medically cleared and is marching towards getting to the game.
Speaker 2: He came out and he said the other day that
Speaker 2: he's about seventy five to eighty percent prediction that he
Speaker 2: plays on Thursday. If you're I'm gonna start with you Church.
Speaker 9: I thought he's seventy eighty percent healthy.
Speaker 2: No, he's one hundred percent health. He's one hundred percent
Speaker 2: according to what he's been cleared.
Speaker 8: If you didn't catch that, let me go ahead. He
Speaker 8: said he didn't. He was. He played when he was
Speaker 8: one hundred percent. He played like he was at seventy eight.
Speaker 2: But he's saying there's a seventy chance that he goes
Speaker 2: on Thursday. For Trayvon and what this defense needs in
Speaker 2: the secondary? Oh yeah, are you hoping he goes out
Speaker 2: there and he plays or you're saying give it one more.
Speaker 2: We'll give me one more week, young fella, and then
Speaker 2: come back. Maybe maybe it gets the giants, maybe maybe
Speaker 2: week three. Because it was always Trayvon was saying, don't
Speaker 2: put me on Pop, don't put me on I are
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be ready before week four. So are you saying, hey, Trayvon,
Speaker 2: go ahead, damn play or give it one more week?
Speaker 2: If it's me, If it's me, right.
Speaker 4: Organization, this is the player of me.
Speaker 5: I'm in Diggs's situation. I'm gonna give it another week. Man,
Speaker 5: I got to see what this past rush is gonna
Speaker 5: look like. You already kind of painted your yourself with
Speaker 5: a red dot on the back by not being here
Speaker 5: all ot as.
Speaker 2: We all understand that. Now if you go out there,
Speaker 2: you weren't here all t is.
Speaker 5: If you go out there and the film don't look great,
Speaker 5: if you go out there and you get bombed, were
Speaker 5: bag bad on?
Speaker 2: People just gonna it was because of this. It was
Speaker 2: because of that.
Speaker 5: It was because so the play of me is looking
Speaker 5: at it like this, all right, let me see what
Speaker 5: that that pass rush look like. Let me see you
Speaker 5: because you're going out there against shoot Bowl champs who
Speaker 5: got two bona fid dogs on the outside of Davalantaine
Speaker 5: Smith and A. J. Brown, which you're gonna be out
Speaker 5: there with them. There's no let me get the slide,
Speaker 5: let me get the tight end over here. You're gonna
Speaker 5: be watching one of those two guys the entirety of
Speaker 5: the game, and you don't want to go out there
Speaker 5: and get bombed on. So if I'm gonna play, I'm like, hey, man,
Speaker 5: we want more week to make sure I'm one hundred
Speaker 5: percent healthy. But organizationally, you, hey thod we need you,
Speaker 5: We need you out there right now. You know we
Speaker 5: ain't got the big dog rushing the pass and no
Speaker 5: more the secondary is young. You got bland out there,
Speaker 5: another a lot of unproven talent outside of Blanding the
Speaker 5: two safeties. So the organization put him out there. But
Speaker 5: if I'm in his shoes, and that's just being honest,
Speaker 5: I'm like, hey, let me get another week.
Speaker 7: I think something you said is going to actually lead
Speaker 7: to him probably trying to play a little bit sooner
Speaker 7: than later. It's simply because he wasn't here doing the
Speaker 7: OTAs and he missed so much with the off season,
Speaker 7: and there was a situation with his with his workout
Speaker 7: bonus and things like that for him not being here
Speaker 7: as well. So being that that's the case, and he
Speaker 7: I feel like he has to prove himself to the organization.
Speaker 7: Just like you said, he knows who he is the player,
Speaker 7: he knows who he is, but right now the organization
Speaker 7: is looking at him sideways, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: And so I think that with that, there's a little
Speaker 7: bit of pressure there. And I totally understand where you're
Speaker 7: coming from too as well. But him sitting back this
Speaker 7: week watching past us this week, if it ain't looking right.
Speaker 9: This week, it ain't gonna change next week. Nine times
Speaker 9: out of ten, you.
Speaker 4: Ain't a J.
Speaker 2: Smithson and Brown next week.
Speaker 9: That's you know what I mean, Like you but like
Speaker 9: but but that.
Speaker 2: It's just one. It's just one though.
Speaker 9: He's that guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah you got that.
Speaker 7: You got the line up against those guys real talk, right,
Speaker 7: So we don't see what we're gonna see what's happening.
Speaker 7: So I was I think that, you know, like what
Speaker 7: you said, he said, he's seventy to eighty whatever percent
Speaker 7: to get ready to play.
Speaker 9: But I think nine times out of ten, he's gon
Speaker 9: lace him up and try to get out.
Speaker 2: There the mantra, I want to We talked about the
Speaker 2: past rush, so you know about what happens up front.
Speaker 2: Michah Parsons he's in Green Bay, right, fifty two sacks
Speaker 2: I believe fifty three sacks I believe he's had over
Speaker 2: his first four years here. That's right. Now, that's three
Speaker 2: more then the top three sack guy that you have
Speaker 2: on this team combined to all the guys combines combined.
Speaker 2: So how does the Cowboys from a defensive standpoint, Now
Speaker 2: Matt eba plus is a new defensive coordinator, how do
Speaker 2: you make up for that? Like, how do you go
Speaker 2: out there and you make up for that that pressure
Speaker 2: that Michael Parson put on quarterbacks that get off that
Speaker 2: you know, that that chasing quarterbacks out of the out
Speaker 2: of the pocket and ultimately those sacks. You know what
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is right, Like, he's not He's not a
Speaker 2: stand in the pocket. You know, throw you out, throw you,
Speaker 2: you know, throw the game down your throat all day.
Speaker 2: But he'll run. He's very strong lower body. How do
Speaker 2: you create that pressure from an upfront standpoint so that
Speaker 2: the guys on the back end aren't hung out to
Speaker 2: dry because he has nineteen seconds back there to throw
Speaker 2: the ball.
Speaker 8: Well, the great equalized teamwork at the end of the day,
Speaker 8: teamwork and honesty. You gotta go in there and just
Speaker 8: talk to your defense, like we understand what that one
Speaker 8: individual gave us, but like one individual doesn't win you gain.
Speaker 8: Football is such a team sport, like when it's funny
Speaker 8: because I seen a quote from Tom Brady this past weekend.
Speaker 8: I guess he did an interview and he was talking
Speaker 8: about what he looks at is in a quarterback when.
Speaker 4: He's watching them. He said, football is a team ball.
Speaker 8: Like when we go over there, I made it a
Speaker 8: point to have everybody in ball, like you're gonna have
Speaker 8: Micah there.
Speaker 4: But like those great defenses, those are the guys that.
Speaker 8: Are played well to where I can sit over here
Speaker 8: and the coach can call something and I ain't got
Speaker 8: to tell Barry like, hey, go ahead. You know, once
Speaker 8: I get this agg set, because the way that I play,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
Speaker 8: It's gonna be a free gap and you shoot it
Speaker 8: on the inside. Right now, make sure you get the
Speaker 8: TfL Like we can have that type of dynamic that
Speaker 8: comes with chemistry, that comes with comfortability, that comes with execution,
Speaker 8: and that comes with schematics. Ibra Flus is going to
Speaker 8: have the scheme that is made for defensivelignment. Now, yes,
Speaker 8: you lost Michael Parson, but let's be real. You brought
Speaker 8: in two big dogs right now. You got Kenny Clark,
Speaker 8: you got odg Zuo this and there. Now, with those
Speaker 8: two guys, if they do what they're supposed to in
Speaker 8: this type of scheme, it's going to leave opportunity to
Speaker 8: see who's going to be the next guy. And with
Speaker 8: these new opportunities, we got a lot of young, unproven
Speaker 8: guys that have not played.
Speaker 4: You got a second round pick that it has been everybody's.
Speaker 8: Been raving about, and he got to come in here
Speaker 8: like sometimes you got to put up a shut up,
Speaker 8: if that makes sense. And I think the one thing
Speaker 8: that's going to equalize that. Yeah, you might have lost
Speaker 8: out on fifty three sacks, but let's be realistic with
Speaker 8: those sacks and numbers you had. The biggest knock that
Speaker 8: was on Michael was he wasn't able to produce in
Speaker 8: the big game. He wasn't able to do this and
Speaker 8: win the actual game friend them, and you wanted one
Speaker 8: guy to do that. Well, Now, if you don't have
Speaker 8: the egos, you have everybody that's on the even playing field,
Speaker 8: and you got a hungry dog that hunts best. Sometimes
Speaker 8: you're not always watching out for the big dog, like
Speaker 8: you got the guy that you know that wins. But
Speaker 8: then after that, what they say, any given Sunday, anybody
Speaker 8: can get beat. And so long as we have that chemistry,
Speaker 8: I guarantee you each coach is gonna say every time,
Speaker 8: I want four guys on the D line that meshes
Speaker 8: well versus one guy that's out there and three unproven
Speaker 8: factors that we're saying, like, hey, you're the guy and
Speaker 8: fit around it. But let's get guys to actually mesh
Speaker 8: well and jail together. Because when they jail together, it's
Speaker 8: like mud. They come together, they build that wall. And
Speaker 8: once you build that wall up front, now it's easier
Speaker 8: for guys like y'all sitting in the back end. If
Speaker 8: it's not like, oh snap, they running a great game,
Speaker 8: like yes, Mike can be somebody one on one, but
Speaker 8: you can't count for those guys when you're doing your
Speaker 8: twist stunts. You're moving around and doing stuff like that.
Speaker 8: So I think this is gonna free up a lot
Speaker 8: of things, and this is gonna give you the ability
Speaker 8: to see who can win the one on ones and
Speaker 8: who can do the pass rush games to where schematically it's.
Speaker 4: Not like y'all know as well as I do.
Speaker 8: When you have that guy that comes in there and
Speaker 8: his fastball is a is a ghost pass rush move,
Speaker 8: don't mess with him. Do this now that you have
Speaker 8: somebody that's not proving it gives us a little more
Speaker 8: flexibility to say, let's do an overload formation. The ego's
Speaker 8: not there, so I can tell you to go rush
Speaker 8: from you know, it's zero shade and have those different
Speaker 8: games come through there.
Speaker 4: If that makes sense.
Speaker 2: No, it makes sense to me. I just look up
Speaker 2: and I go, yeah, but that's still Lane Johnson right
Speaker 2: out the man. Yeah. But I think you make a
Speaker 2: great point about Assigmon Lineman football, right, like having everybody
Speaker 2: on the same page, on the same accord, on one string.
Speaker 2: Like if everybody's where they're supposed to be, it becomes
Speaker 2: it becomes teach tape it be.
Speaker 4: And it gives you.
Speaker 8: It gives you more flexibility to figure out what we're
Speaker 8: going to do and how we can do it, versus like, hey,
Speaker 8: I'm going over here and I'm begging you to hit
Speaker 8: that home run, because we know everybody doesn't hit that
Speaker 8: home run, even if you are the greatest home run person, like,
Speaker 8: you're gonna miss every now again. But it makes up
Speaker 8: for when you have a great Batman wasn't who he
Speaker 8: was without robbing, Like the Justice League wasn't everything. Like, yeah,
Speaker 8: they had Superman and stuff like that, but they had
Speaker 8: their other guy that came over and sometime took the
Speaker 8: big role. And so now I think you're gonna be
Speaker 8: able to see a lot more that with these other guys.
Speaker 2: All right, So what we're gonna do is gonna take
Speaker 2: our first break. When we come back, We're gonna flip
Speaker 2: it go to the other side of the ball. That's
Speaker 2: why I think a lot of these games for the
Speaker 2: Cowboys will be won. Oh shoulder and the legs of
Speaker 2: one Dak Prescottson, we'll talk about him, the new offense,

Speaker 2: Here we're gonna get that dramatic poll. Let's go. This
Speaker 2: is game week. This is the player's lows Barry Church
Speaker 2: to watch it more at door saying your boy, Jesse Holly.
Speaker 2: Cowboys taking on the Philadelhia Eagles Thursday Night Football. We're
Speaker 2: opening up the season out the gate in eighty eight.
Speaker 2: This is the first game on. We talked a lot
Speaker 2: about this offense in the offseason. The Cowboys went out
Speaker 2: and they signed George Pick George to add CD Lamb.
Speaker 2: Who I believe This is just my belief. This is
Speaker 2: just Jesse Holly's belief from what I've seen over the years,
Speaker 2: the maturation of and the growth of CED Lamb to
Speaker 2: what I've seen with my own eyes and training camp.
Speaker 2: I listen to see what CD says. I watch them.
Speaker 2: I know the position. I believe when we get done
Speaker 2: with this twenty twenty five twenty twenty six football season,
Speaker 2: that there won't be the conversation of does CD belong
Speaker 2: in the top three. There will be the conversation of
Speaker 2: who belongs in the top three? Because CD is number one.
Speaker 2: That's what I believe. I'm in a lot of Cowboys.
Speaker 2: He's already top three to my being.
Speaker 4: Who he gonna stamp it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chase, I get you, and he's gonna get a
Speaker 2: lot of time.
Speaker 8: So Bingles having the best receiving quote, we're talking about
Speaker 8: the Cowboys having the best receiving court.
Speaker 2: I don't know about best receiving call. Because I'm not
Speaker 2: vouching for yours pickets. I gotta, I gotta. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be a little time, gonna have to take the him.
Speaker 4: I'm vouching for George right now. Put it in the books.
Speaker 2: That's fine with me. You got to stand on that
Speaker 2: ten toes down where I'm standing. I'm standing on ten
Speaker 2: toes down. If number four is healthy, Dak Prescott City,
Speaker 2: Lamb is going to ascend to a a stratosphere.
Speaker 8: Okay, so what's your question, man, since you're giving us
Speaker 8: all this praise because you on the same boat as
Speaker 8: this man, Barry.
Speaker 4: Church is on the same boat.
Speaker 2: So now I think.
Speaker 4: Because for you, there we go where it's new. He
Speaker 4: had to play the bad guy.
Speaker 2: This trust I said in eighty eight. I trust in
Speaker 2: eighty eight. I trust I watched eighty eight go off
Speaker 2: last year with a bump shoulder in the backup quarterback.
Speaker 2: Still still it was unguardable. It was unguardable. That's what
Speaker 2: on the other side, they said, CD and a bunch
Speaker 2: of babies, and that was facts. And he still went
Speaker 2: off with the backup quarterback when everybody and their mama
Speaker 2: knew when we came into this game, our objective and
Speaker 2: goal in the passing game from the defensive standpoint is
Speaker 2: to stop eighty eight couldn't do and couldn't do it
Speaker 2: well young rush back. There no running game, no running game.
Speaker 2: Left tackle.
Speaker 8: God awful, man, you're putting up a great argument for Barry.
Speaker 8: I wish I would have heard from him, like.
Speaker 2: And so I'm again, I'm just talking about eight. I'm
Speaker 2: talking about CD is taking that next step. I ain't
Speaker 2: say ten wins. I ain't saying that Dak got trust.
Speaker 2: I'm saying eighty eight is getting ready to put on
Speaker 2: some numbers and put on the show that hasn't been
Speaker 2: seen in a long time.
Speaker 9: I believe in that he's on that trajectory. I mean,
Speaker 9: every year he has improved.
Speaker 7: Just like you said, this is the type of thing
Speaker 7: that you want to see from one of your star
Speaker 7: players when they come into building every day that they
Speaker 7: have no ceiling, and every time he gets between the
Speaker 7: white lines, he's doing it with a purpose and he's
Speaker 7: actually getting better. And we've seen him do a year
Speaker 7: to year. And if you're saying what you're seeing is
Speaker 7: from what you've seen in this offseason, is that he's
Speaker 7: actually took that next step, because what you're putting him
Speaker 7: in that category, just like we're talking about Jamar Chase,
Speaker 7: we're talking about Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 9: Let's see who could, who could? Who's who else?
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill?
Speaker 7: Okay, I mean, but he's dangerous. He's dangerous at all times.
Speaker 7: But but to say that he's going to be in
Speaker 7: the top three.
Speaker 2: He's already, he's already. I'm saying it's gonna be him
Speaker 2: and whoever else okay, and this is the players line fact.
Speaker 2: So we've all been in places wherever you've been at
Speaker 2: in your careers, We've been around bona fide dogs. They
Speaker 2: walk different, right, they talk different when you When I
Speaker 2: watched Ceedee Lamb come into practice, When I watch him
Speaker 2: on the practice field, it's an are around him that
Speaker 2: he walks out there, and he was like, there ain't
Speaker 2: a mo fo out here that can guard me. I
Speaker 2: told you guys just before when the one loan press
Speaker 2: conference that he did this this this training camp when
Speaker 2: he's at the podium and he set up there and
Speaker 2: he said, listen, if y'all don't think I am who
Speaker 2: I am, y'all gonna see it a little bit. That
Speaker 2: was my That was him telling y'all I'm him. I'm
Speaker 2: like Kevin Durant said, I'm Kevin Durant. His numbers back
Speaker 2: it up to know who I am. And so it's like,
Speaker 2: so I believe that with that, this cowboy offense is
Speaker 2: going to be put on the backs of the passing game.
Speaker 2: I think when they win games, because I just don't
Speaker 2: see how you're going to develop a running and.
Speaker 8: Jesse get out of here with all that you saying
Speaker 8: something that everybody knows. We all know the back is
Speaker 8: going to be put on the passing game. You got
Speaker 8: CD that's gonna be who he is. You got George Pickett,
Speaker 8: we got Dak Prescott that does that. But when a cowboy, like,
Speaker 8: let's stop talking about what's easy, like this is the
Speaker 8: players now the whole reason people come here and so
Speaker 8: they can hear us when we're sitting in that locker room.
Speaker 8: When the media leads up out of there, what's going on? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 8: we said all the great things. We added the fluff and.
Speaker 4: This and that.
Speaker 8: Let's talk about this when they have really been their best.
Speaker 8: It's been off the run game. It's been predicated off
Speaker 8: the run. They always had a big dog back there.
Speaker 8: It was never big dog exactly. Talk about that.
Speaker 9: But so you're at the number show.
Speaker 7: Anytime Dak Sean throwing the ball forty some times a game,
Speaker 7: that ain't gonna benefit the cowboy exactly exactly.
Speaker 8: So you're trying to sit here and say, ceedee, Limb
Speaker 8: is gonna send over here and this and that, Well,
Speaker 8: how is he gonna send me with that? Like he
Speaker 8: has to get more opportunity. We're sitting there talking about
Speaker 8: that like it's easy for us to talk about CD.
Speaker 8: Let's talk about the real stuff. Let's talk about, Hey,
Speaker 8: who's really running. Let's talk about the fact that we
Speaker 8: got shoddy as a run first like a pass like.
Speaker 8: He's not a pass oriented coordinator. He is a run
Speaker 8: first coordinator. They are play action run. It's not like, oh,
Speaker 8: sit back and shotgun, let's get this going. It's like, oh,
Speaker 8: get down here, run, run, bomb, dump it.
Speaker 2: But I think you need a zeke for.
Speaker 5: Unbelievable three down back And I don't for that offense
Speaker 5: to be explosive like all I can if he can
Speaker 5: get if you can hand them, but just to keep
Speaker 5: the defense honest, I think that'll be enough for this
Speaker 5: offense to be productive, especially on our side.
Speaker 8: I think, I think, and I will say this, I
Speaker 8: think it will be enough. But when you think of
Speaker 8: it this way, what I'm seeing from this young running
Speaker 8: back court, I'm not saying there as good, but I
Speaker 8: like what I seen.
Speaker 2: From young Are you talking about Well, I'm.
Speaker 4: Sorry because I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Because the young young runner backs ain't getting the start.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be. It's gonna.
Speaker 4: You know who's gonna start.
Speaker 8: But at the end of the year, Like we always know,
Speaker 8: there's always one guy and everybody's offensive scheme that becomes
Speaker 8: the guy. They brought them to young guys in there prediction.
Speaker 8: They hoping that one of those guys become the guy
Speaker 8: and these old guys get phased out.
Speaker 2: Phil gonna be here for a while. He's already they
Speaker 2: already put him on.
Speaker 5: I r oh no, if you can get Rico Daddle production,
Speaker 5: this obum is gonna be fine. And I'm talking about
Speaker 5: from all of them together, not just one guy going
Speaker 5: for If you can get Rico Daddle production at all
Speaker 5: three of them guys in the backfield and however you
Speaker 5: want to be it, that'll be fine because these guys
Speaker 5: on the outside gonna eat, is.
Speaker 4: Going to eat.
Speaker 2: He had a down year last year. He is going
Speaker 2: to eat, all right.
Speaker 5: That's gonna be the security blank. He's gonna destroy these
Speaker 5: linebackers over the middle. Now, you gotta pick your poison.
Speaker 5: You're gonna leave your safeties up.
Speaker 8: But that's what that's what I guess, that's what I
Speaker 8: wanted us to get to something like that, make a
Speaker 8: statement like that to where we all know that unsung
Speaker 8: hero where it's like, hey, these guys are gonna do good.
Speaker 4: But if old buddy do what he's talking about.
Speaker 8: Like you said, if you get Rico daddo production, which
Speaker 8: I think you have, I think you can't.
Speaker 4: I think I think you unreachable.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so so you got that last year.
Speaker 7: So right, did new work last yecause that got hurt
Speaker 7: that CD putting up them numbers and Cooper us Man,
Speaker 7: you're talking about the same situation, just with number four
Speaker 7: in there. You said ce d put up them numbers
Speaker 7: last year and you had that running back that you're
Speaker 7: talking about that you want to get all.
Speaker 9: The production out. So what's going to be the difference.
Speaker 2: You didn't have that?
Speaker 4: That that's that is that this is a quarterback league.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is that.
Speaker 9: I mean that's I'm not saying he's.
Speaker 2: Mahomes, but he's gonna do more than what Cooper Rush
Speaker 2: was able to do last year.
Speaker 4: Definitely, Will.
Speaker 2: My concern when it comes to the running game is
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can trust what they have
Speaker 2: on the offensive line. We're talking about a rookie right
Speaker 2: guard who has all he has twenty eight preseason snaps.
Speaker 2: That's it totally, as can you trust Will?
Speaker 5: Who Will mc lay yeah, yes, and and who he's
Speaker 5: being able to select these first rounds when its line.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I mean it's like no, no, no, But
Speaker 2: all right, is it day Thomas? Is it Tyler Goton?
Speaker 2: Who are you trusting out there? See that there? That's
Speaker 2: the one dude who I can lay my head down
Speaker 2: on the pillow at night and have zero concern. It
Speaker 2: is my left guard. I got no concern about tox facts.
Speaker 2: I got to know that's that's that's a boy dog
Speaker 2: right there, No concerns. I don't know about the rest
Speaker 2: of them. What still are we getting? Because one year
Speaker 2: we get a good steal, One year we get a
Speaker 2: basket roller coaster, we get a good still who could
Speaker 2: do only pass protection. Next year we get a good
Speaker 2: still only do run protection, run blocking. So what still
Speaker 2: are we getting? This year? We got a rookie right
Speaker 2: next to him the center, cool BB. He's gonna be okay,
Speaker 2: He's gonna be okay.
Speaker 4: He's I look at I look at BB being a
Speaker 4: more polished version of Joe. Joe.
Speaker 2: That's a different monster.
Speaker 13: I love.
Speaker 8: I love Joe and what he was able to bring
Speaker 8: Like people didn't expecting him. They were like, oh, we
Speaker 8: got all these guys in front of him, but he
Speaker 8: knew his assignment. He was gonna dog walk somebody, and
Speaker 8: he was very serviceable. Good started. So when you say
Speaker 8: this center, I'm not. I think he's good, and I
Speaker 8: think that Tyler Smith been next to him makes him
Speaker 8: even better to where it's like you're gonna you.
Speaker 4: Don't worry about you don't have to worry about those two.
Speaker 8: You got to get over there to that other guard
Speaker 8: and that blind side spot to where you're really gonna
Speaker 8: have to worry. So that's when it comes to this offense.
Speaker 8: I'm not worried about receivers. I say all that to
Speaker 8: say I'm not worried about receivers. I'm not worried about
Speaker 8: this running back corp because, like I said, I just
Speaker 8: need Rico o'dondo type of production. Four is gonna do
Speaker 8: what he do if he's healthy. But the X factor
Speaker 8: is that old line I can't have. We all know
Speaker 8: this is the one spot where you can't have one
Speaker 8: good player, or even two good players. You need two
Speaker 8: really good players a decent player. If you're gonna have
Speaker 8: two mediocre subpart other guys and they better be mixed
Speaker 8: out in between. Don't have the right side is really good,
Speaker 8: then the left side is good because guess where we
Speaker 8: know what we're gonna do. We're gonna blitch right all
Speaker 8: the way on that strong side and make you come
Speaker 8: over here to that week's side and then let them
Speaker 8: dogs eat over there. So that's the one thing that
Speaker 8: makes me so nervous. Like you said when we said it,
Speaker 8: you said ten wins. I told you at the beginning,
Speaker 8: I don't see ten wins right now. I said, if
Speaker 8: everybody's healthy and they can get those parts, we could talk.
Speaker 8: I might be a little bit more on your side.
Speaker 8: But with what we've seen, with the injury bug that's
Speaker 8: already been here, the stuff that's already been there, like
Speaker 8: as far as production wise, that makes me so nervous
Speaker 8: to where it's saying, it don't matter if we got
Speaker 8: a generation of talent in seedee lamb toasting everybody off
Speaker 8: the ball. If every time oh, I'm getting hit, oh,
Speaker 8: and then guess what, now we just need to do
Speaker 8: a little dump screen because now you're not getting the.
Speaker 4: Best out of him.
Speaker 8: So he might be at his best, but it doesn't
Speaker 8: matter if we don't start right there in the front, just.
Speaker 2: Telling y'all Take a snapshot or what Joe Burrow was
Speaker 2: in that Cincinnati offense where he should have had it.
Speaker 2: He had MVP type numbers, but they just couldn't get
Speaker 2: enough wins. Take a snapshot of that, Photoshop it, and
Speaker 2: that's what this offense gonna look like this year. It
Speaker 2: may not produce many wins.
Speaker 4: That's big, big praise, but.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be It's gonna be heavy on the passing game.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be heavy on pickens. And I agree with you,
Speaker 2: We're gonna eat. I think he's gonna have a bounce
Speaker 2: back year. He said, sorry, gonna have a bounce back.
Speaker 2: I do, I do gonna eat. I think the passing
Speaker 2: game is where this I've I don't believe in what
Speaker 2: the running game they're putting up Joe Burrow numbers.
Speaker 5: If this offense is putting up Cincinnati numbers from last year,
Speaker 5: you don't think this defense could be serviceable enough?
Speaker 2: Yes, to get the job done.
Speaker 4: I think I think the defense is serving for enough.
Speaker 4: That's what they put up. They put If they put
Speaker 4: up Cincinnati numbers and.
Speaker 2: We're gonna need points a game to win, defense gonna
Speaker 2: give up like that, gonna need thirty points.
Speaker 8: A games.
Speaker 4: That government cheese Like, you can't just like that. Man.
Speaker 4: It's the reason why he made his name, and his
Speaker 4: defense has always been.
Speaker 5: Now he's had the tools on his defenses, and we'll
Speaker 5: see what this these defenses got.
Speaker 9: So we'll definitely gonna have to see.
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't I'm not arguing with you about
Speaker 7: it because like when you have too like those those
Speaker 7: guys are two of my favorite receivers, you know what
Speaker 7: I'm saying, Like, I like, CD grew on me actually,
Speaker 7: Like in the beginning, I was kind of questioning, like
Speaker 7: like is he just cold for real?
Speaker 9: But then numbers don't lie.
Speaker 7: And then the year that he like he, like I said,
Speaker 7: he's progressively gotten better every year, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: George Pickens, Like outside of everything that was going on
Speaker 7: in Pittsburgh, when the boy came.
Speaker 9: To play, he was bawling, you know what I mean,
Speaker 9: the same thing when he was in Georgia.
Speaker 7: Like I remember that kid from from college, you know,
Speaker 7: watching him and just seeing how he's doing and so
Speaker 7: him getting here now he would be another Well he
Speaker 7: wasn't number one in Pittsburgh, so have that, Like, I
Speaker 7: definitely agree with you. They're gonna go they I think
Speaker 7: them boys are gonna get busy. It's gonna be hard
Speaker 7: to cover. But but like I said, you gotta have
Speaker 7: some balance. You gotta have some balance you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be balanced. Back a little bit to
Speaker 2: the left to see here on the side pickets. Jake Ferguson,

Speaker 2: You you jumping?
Speaker 4: I ain't got no no, it's the twenty first cent.
Speaker 4: I can put it in.
Speaker 2: I gotta.
Speaker 4: Paper. Don't lie.
Speaker 2: You ain't gonna be a high from this one. Give
Speaker 2: me that, give me, give me that, give us that
Speaker 2: all I got, dave us. Just you guys, you got
Speaker 2: used to write it down to I. I want you
Speaker 2: to because because you because you got a lot of
Speaker 2: energy over there. You got you got twisted this way.
Speaker 2: You've got a lot of you got a lot of
Speaker 2: energy over there. I want to make sure you need
Speaker 2: some assistance.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, since y'all got all the jokes started, Yeah, start, So.
Speaker 2: Here's what I need. Here's here's what I need. Uh,
Speaker 2: we're gonna get the prediction of the game. We're gonna
Speaker 2: go around the table get the prediction of the game.
Speaker 2: But with your prediction, I need an next factor. Who's
Speaker 2: going to be your X factor for this game? And
Speaker 2: why I'm I'm a you started, I'm a hold, I
Speaker 2: get to go last.
Speaker 13: Last.
Speaker 2: That's our show.
Speaker 4: This is your show. No more sent George, no more,
Speaker 4: this is ours. What you.
Speaker 2: Feel like this reason I'm gonna start with you start
Speaker 2: what you want to score too, or just yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: you know you got to give a score, Okay in
Speaker 2: this game Thursday, I'm going Eagles twenty four, Cowboys twenty one.
Speaker 5: So I got the Eagles getting the the My X
Speaker 5: factor is gonna be divine Tae Smith. I feel like
Speaker 5: Fluse and everybody. You got the owner. Everybody told, yeah,
Speaker 5: stop the running. They're gonna sell out to try to
Speaker 5: contain Saintwa. Not that they're gonna hold him to under
Speaker 5: twenty yards or anything like that, but I don't think
Speaker 5: he's gonna have one of these hundred and fifty yard
Speaker 5: games or any things like that. So I believe the
Speaker 5: X factor is gonna be Davontae Smith. They gonna do
Speaker 5: whatever they can to get aj Brown bottled up, whether
Speaker 5: that's putting digs and somebody over top having a linebacker,
Speaker 5: he's always gonna be covering. I feel like Dvalanntae's gonna
Speaker 5: get the majority of these one on ones. And let's
Speaker 5: just say Digs isn't playing. You're gonna You're gonna be
Speaker 5: out there with you know, Kareem Elam or you know
Speaker 5: Kaylyn Carson or something like that. And I gotta see
Speaker 5: what those guys can do in person before I can
Speaker 5: sit there and say they got a chance against Davontae Smith.
Speaker 5: So for me, I'm gonna say Devonte Smith is the
Speaker 5: X factor. I got him going for over one hundred
Speaker 5: touchdown maybe two, but that's gonna be the deciding factor.
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be a close game. Twenty seven twenty
Speaker 2: or twenty four twenty one Eagles, twenty four to twenty
Speaker 2: one Eagles for Barry.
Speaker 9: Church straight to me, she's okay.
Speaker 7: So in my head when while you were talking, I
Speaker 7: thought I saw thirty four seventeen, yeah, and thirty Eagles.
Speaker 2: All blood bath McGrath.
Speaker 7: A little, I mean, and it's it's just based off
Speaker 7: of off of the lack of what we know right now,
Speaker 7: like you said it did is going and play, you
Speaker 7: know what I mean? I'm in the realm that Saquan
Speaker 7: gonna come out and try to get a crack in
Speaker 7: first game to see you know what I mean. So,
Speaker 7: and I know he's gonna get the opportunity to and
Speaker 7: just like you mentioned, having those two receivers that they
Speaker 7: got out there, like the box gonna have to be
Speaker 7: a little bit light sometimes, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: So with that being said, you know, I'm looking at
Speaker 7: sa Quan probably being the X factor.
Speaker 9: Thirty four seventeen.
Speaker 2: I'll go next, I'll say the last one for you, Trey,
Speaker 2: I go. I'm gonna go twenty eight, twelve Eagles, twelve Eagles.
Speaker 2: And here's my thing. Here's my thing is coming into
Speaker 2: this game. The Cowboys are still trying to figure out
Speaker 2: on so many levels who they actually are, right I think,
Speaker 2: and I've been one who talked about I need to
Speaker 2: see guys play just a little bit more on preseason
Speaker 2: because chemistry is a mother. You need that. You need that.
Speaker 2: That offensive line hasn't had a chance to play together.
Speaker 2: They've been in and out with injuries, all that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff. All of them kind of has some injury
Speaker 2: that they've dealt with a little bit upfront through our
Speaker 2: training camp. When I look outside, do I think George
Speaker 2: Pickers and Dak Prescott will jail? Sure?
Speaker 12: I do.
Speaker 2: But there is something to be said. When you were
Speaker 2: in the fire and I look out there and three
Speaker 2: looks back at me, are we seeing the same thing?
Speaker 2: Are we seeing this now? When I look to eighty eight,
Speaker 2: because we've been in the fire, they sees what I see.
Speaker 2: So I think still building that a little bit with
Speaker 2: them is like being able to trust it and just
Speaker 2: have that with no second thought, just we boom. I
Speaker 2: just there was too many gaps in between everybody all
Speaker 2: being together, you know what I'm saying, and a semi
Speaker 2: new offense, it's the same but different a little bit
Speaker 2: because there will be some sort of wrinkle that Shoty
Speaker 2: puts in on this offense there and then the same
Speaker 2: thing on the defensive end. I know you said it
Speaker 2: was supposed to be a team game, but I know
Speaker 2: this league like you know this, You know you need
Speaker 2: players and when you take away however you feel about
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons, and I've nobody has been more vocal about
Speaker 2: how some of the dumb stuff and that he's been
Speaker 2: than me. They were on my head a year ago
Speaker 2: when I called him selfish and they were on my
Speaker 2: Mama was on my head, brother was on my head.
Speaker 2: The fans is on my head.
Speaker 4: Boy, Look what came.
Speaker 2: I know what I believe in what I saw, But
Speaker 2: I also know why I believe in what I saw
Speaker 2: that I still was a bad joke who went out
Speaker 2: there every single Sunday that football fields, and that matters.
Speaker 2: That that takes osa from a B player to a
Speaker 2: B plus player. It takes a guy like Sam Mulliams
Speaker 2: from a C player to a B player because attention
Speaker 2: is targeted towards a player like Michael Parsons. Lines do
Speaker 2: shift that way, double teams do come that way, so
Speaker 2: I have more opportunities for these one on one opportunities
Speaker 2: throughout the game. You don't have that. Now you're trying
Speaker 2: to play this thing by committee. You've been around here
Speaker 2: long enough to know that committee's nothing always work for
Speaker 2: the Cowboys.
Speaker 8: As much as you say that, you know as well
Speaker 8: as I do. You might have a playmaker like that,
Speaker 8: but not saying he is the problem. But with everything
Speaker 8: that's been coming out there about rumors and egos and
Speaker 8: all that stuff, when you take a bad situation no
Speaker 8: matter how good the player is. Sometimes that gives people
Speaker 8: a pressure fresh are it takes that pressure off of them.
Speaker 2: They don't give no more skill, don't take the pressure.
Speaker 2: Might be you know what.
Speaker 4: Factor right now?
Speaker 2: I need give me.
Speaker 4: Eight twelve Eagles. I need the X fact to me.
Speaker 2: The X factor is gonna be one of the big
Speaker 2: boys up front, Jalen Carter or uh Jordan Davis. That
Speaker 2: that that that front right there is just a monster front.
Speaker 2: And you know, Tyler book and welcome to the National
Speaker 2: Football League. The first game out, you gotta deal with
Speaker 2: those dogs right there for four quarters. So yeah, CD
Speaker 2: and George all on you, big dog, who's gonna guard
Speaker 2: CD and George? Who got right there that they're gonna
Speaker 2: play a lot of his own coverage. They're gonna play
Speaker 2: a lot of his own coverage and try to keep
Speaker 2: everything in front of them.
Speaker 4: Gonna be a lot.
Speaker 9: They got rushed. Yeah, and they ain't got to bring nobody.
Speaker 2: But I wrote, yes, that's e no eye in my name.
Speaker 4: I'm play boy.
Speaker 2: It's all good show this much that is that is
Speaker 2: my name. That is my name.
Speaker 8: Though you know what, I'm sorry I spelled that wrong,
Speaker 8: just like all y'all predictions is wrong.
Speaker 4: I got the boy.
Speaker 8: It's twenty four, twenty seven. Hey, ain't no bias, but
Speaker 8: I'm telling you right now, Hey, say what you want
Speaker 8: to say.
Speaker 4: We all know, we all know, we all know. Yeah,
Speaker 4: nobody thought that was gonna come. I came with that one. Yes,
Speaker 4: and hear me out. We all know coming off that
Speaker 4: Super Bowl rud. What I wish, c B.
Speaker 8: I wish you could pull up the stats of how
Speaker 8: many people actually win coming out that first game.
Speaker 4: They're gonna be on the high horse.
Speaker 8: They're gonna be riding high, and then on top of that,
Speaker 8: you still living off that linelight.
Speaker 4: They lost your boy.
Speaker 8: The reason that you argue with Nui so much talking
Speaker 8: about the offensive coordinator was the guy Kevin Moore.
Speaker 4: Right, they got a new OC.
Speaker 8: What you say, you need time to jail, right, So
Speaker 8: you're getting over there, and I just think it's gonna
Speaker 8: really be Honestly, I just think it's gonna be a
Speaker 8: lot of sloppy football. And I think this is the
Speaker 8: This has the makings to be one of those early
Speaker 8: trap games to where the Cowboys are gonna win in
Speaker 8: a nail bier. And then once they win, what is
Speaker 8: everybody gonna say we just beat the Super Bowl chairs
Speaker 8: this happened, and then they go on the messha where
Speaker 8: it's like, didn't we see that Week one play when
Speaker 8: everybody else started to get better in jail?
Speaker 4: Typically they don't.
Speaker 8: So I think this is gonna be the game where
Speaker 8: they're gonna come out there, I think, And my X
Speaker 8: factor for the game, I'm putting it all on Kenny Clark,
Speaker 8: like what Nui said when I went back and watched
Speaker 8: the interview and just talking like we know how much
Speaker 8: pressure that is.
Speaker 4: But like when you have that dog that Afa.
Speaker 8: Mail, like you said, when you have that certain Gena
Speaker 8: said Kua, like he's walking around here, he's like, I
Speaker 8: don't care. I know Michael did this, and that I
Speaker 8: know that somebody believes in me. This is America's team.
Speaker 8: And on top of that, he's a run stopper, he's
Speaker 8: coming off of injury. He's gonna sit there. Why not
Speaker 8: make my name against the Super Bowl team, Say, Kwan
Speaker 8: Barkley one of the best runners in the game, and
Speaker 8: if he takes over that game and eliminates him in
Speaker 8: the middle right there and then makes Osa look like
Speaker 8: the guy that they paid him to be like I
Speaker 8: think that D line, we're gonna see some stuff. And
Speaker 8: it's the first game. You're not gonna see all the
Speaker 8: glitz and glamours. Like if you do, it's gonna be rusty.
Speaker 8: So I think it's gonna be a nail biterer. Like said,
Speaker 8: we're going with the boys my opinion, Yes, sir, I'm
Speaker 8: riding solo one deep as my boys zero down at
Speaker 8: H Town say one.
Speaker 3: D I'm confused, man, you confuse Last week it was yeah,
Speaker 3: everything you gotta throw you got last week.
Speaker 2: On your points. Last week, Hey.
Speaker 4: Man, I bluff you man what he saying? Magic say?
Speaker 4: He said?
Speaker 8: He said, you come out there, you're fake them like
Speaker 8: that over the shoulder, bro, like in all seriousness, Like
Speaker 8: I said, I it's just gonna come down to D line. Bro,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna leave it at that. I do think, like
Speaker 8: I said, Clint, gonna have them boys hunting over there.
Speaker 8: But that D line, man, it's different, you.
Speaker 7: Know what, Like I understand, I hear you say with
Speaker 7: the letdown, you know what I mean? And uh and
Speaker 7: and and it happens a lot, you know. But I
Speaker 7: think that it's a new it's a new day, it's
Speaker 7: a new time. And one of the things is that
Speaker 7: I like about Jalen Hurts. It is the fact that
Speaker 7: he is he seems like he's he's so purposeful an
Speaker 7: intent for with everything that he's doing as a leader.
Speaker 7: And that being said, I don't I think that they
Speaker 7: got they got the right type of focus, you know
Speaker 7: what I mean coming into this year, and I think
Speaker 7: it's gonna it's gonna be it's gonna be a hard game.
Speaker 8: But when is the Eagles ever just started out hot,
Speaker 8: like nobody didn't say at the beginning of the year,
Speaker 8: Eagles super Bowl and this, and that the Eagles progressively
Speaker 8: got better as the season went on, Like at the
Speaker 8: beginning of the last year, you were talking about guys
Speaker 8: reading books on the sideline.
Speaker 4: They're not doing this and doing that, Like, I don't.
Speaker 9: That was doing their success. He was bringing them books out.
Speaker 8: Darfore everybody start talking about what the potential Even when
Speaker 8: was there, people were still complaining, like they didn't start
Speaker 8: out at the beginning of the year like oh, this
Speaker 8: is it, like this is the super Bowl? Like it
Speaker 8: was soppy play that got better. They're not one of
Speaker 8: those teams that just come out there like that, like
Speaker 8: they hot grits.
Speaker 4: It's just ready.
Speaker 8: This ain't instant rawman, like you ain't going out there
Speaker 8: in two minutes. And they ready like let them boys
Speaker 8: yell man.
Speaker 2: Well we'll see.
Speaker 8: I like, I like doing the difference problem for them possible.
Speaker 8: There you go myself one deep.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you gotta be one deep and standing on that.
Speaker 4: And I'm still gonna get nickings sounds at the end
Speaker 4: of the day.
Speaker 2: Why you think that's what Jesse Holly, this is the
Speaker 2: players like Friday makes sense. But we'll see if if
