Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the Player's Label,
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 1: Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCray, and Newy Scrugs. Hi, everybody,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Players Line, brought to you by Hotels
Speaker 1: dot Com. I'm Newi Scrugs, a long time Cowboys reporter,
Speaker 1: followed and joined by my friends Danny McCray, Barry Church,
Speaker 1: former Cowboys safeties, and Babe. Both starred on special teams.
Speaker 1: Is how they got on the football team. Special teams
Speaker 1: is a very important part, and gentlemen, I want to
Speaker 1: start there today. We didn't touch on it yesterday, but
Speaker 1: let's get into it today. Putter Chris Jones asked for
Speaker 1: muscle surgery, so he had the surgery, and that means
Speaker 1: we're going we will see a new punter against the
Speaker 1: Steelers and his name is Hunter Miss Wander. So, uh, McCray,
Speaker 1: you had spoken about, you know, not being pleased with
Speaker 1: some of the punts that you've seen. So Chris had
Speaker 1: been trying to punt on pain killers and a drilling.
Speaker 1: But finally I couldn't do it anymore your thoughts? Whoa, whoa. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I want to say, I'm glad you're here.
Speaker 1: You didn't get kidnapped on your hitchhiking, uh, on your
Speaker 1: hit yesterday off on side of the road. All right,
Speaker 1: So I'm glad. I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad to listen.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you made it. That's all. I'm glad you
Speaker 1: made it. Listen. I will say this, I don't really
Speaker 1: recall saying anything bad about Chris Jones, because honestly, he
Speaker 1: has actually been one of the best punters that I've
Speaker 1: been around in my in my career at at penning
Speaker 1: guys in the corner and being able to put enough
Speaker 1: height on the ball so the returners really don't get
Speaker 1: a chance to get a return and hit us with
Speaker 1: a big play. Um. So, I honestly think this is
Speaker 1: actually a huge loss, especially the way that we will
Speaker 1: probably have to play the game, which is a field control,
Speaker 1: field position battle, and hopefully our defense you know, allows
Speaker 1: us to play like you know, being able to control
Speaker 1: the clock and the run the ball. So I think
Speaker 1: this is a huge loss for us. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I guess We'll see what the next punter has, but
Speaker 1: I think this will be a glaring loss for us.
Speaker 1: When we watched the game on Sunday, Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I definitely backed those sentiments up, and definitely thank you
Speaker 1: for come joining the show today, Newly. Um, you took
Speaker 1: the traditional route to get to the show, not yesterday,
Speaker 1: as it sounded like you were sky diving in. So
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Man, we can all hear each other
Speaker 1: and everything is amazing. Thank you Newly for joining the show.
Speaker 1: And now now we go to Chris Jones. Man, I mean,
Speaker 1: you hate to see this happen. Um, he had a
Speaker 1: stretch there from like two fourteen and two thousand and
Speaker 1: sixteen where he was one of the top punters. I
Speaker 1: mean he always kind of was able to get the
Speaker 1: long ball, flip the field, He's able to down guys deep.
Speaker 1: He's kind of that coffin corner type punter. And we
Speaker 1: kind of saw that lag off in a couple of
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen eighteen, kind of lagged off a little bit.
Speaker 1: Now he's dealing with the injury and like you said,
Speaker 1: he was trying to take pain pills to get through
Speaker 1: to get through the games. But Um, it just it
Speaker 1: just came too much for him to bear, and you know,
Speaker 1: he had to get the core surgery. So now we're
Speaker 1: bringing up another another punter. And like Danny said, I
Speaker 1: mean for a while there he was a He was
Speaker 1: a real weapon for us. I mean, especially on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. He was able to pin
Speaker 1: opponents deep, and back then that was huge for us
Speaker 1: because we had a great running game going and we
Speaker 1: opponents deep and were able to get the ball right
Speaker 1: back for our offense. So he was a huge weapon
Speaker 1: for us back then. Like I said, it tailed off
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I don't know how much we're
Speaker 1: gonna miss him going forward now, seeing as though his
Speaker 1: punts weren't that good this year, but overall, you just
Speaker 1: hate to see this happening. Hopefully he's able to give
Speaker 1: a speedy recovery. All right. Look, here's the bottom line
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys and particularly the punner Chris Jones. He's
Speaker 1: not been good now for two seasons. Stalls was last
Speaker 1: in punting in twenty nineteen and so far twenty twenty
Speaker 1: to thirty. So it's been an issue. It's been a problem,
Speaker 1: and maybe the surgery now we'll get Chris Jones, right,
Speaker 1: But depending on how Hunter does, we may not see
Speaker 1: Chris Jones in the Cowboys uniform again. When they decided
Speaker 1: to retool this team, they may decide to go with
Speaker 1: the cheaper option. I never thought I'd see Dan Bailey
Speaker 1: get cut the way he did. So if Dan Bailey
Speaker 1: can go, Chris Jones can go. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: we have to just be be honest about that. And
Speaker 1: that was one of the you know that boy, that's
Speaker 1: your back Friday, that Brett Mahur was nowhere anywhere close
Speaker 1: to what Dan Bailey was. That was a big mistake
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys part. But they made the move here.
Speaker 1: So if this is Chris Jones, this was his last
Speaker 1: contest with the Cowboys. For a kid coming out of
Speaker 1: Carson Newman, he had had a nice little career with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I'll definitely say that, definitely. And look, man,
Speaker 1: you're right it like I was there when you know
Speaker 1: the weere got released. So this is once it comes down.
Speaker 1: This is a business at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: And like you said, you hate to see a guy
Speaker 1: loses his job because of an injury, but I mean
Speaker 1: it happens. It happens every time in this league. I mean,
Speaker 1: look how Dak got his job off of Romo. Romo
Speaker 1: went down, Dak played amazing, and you know the rest
Speaker 1: is history. So you hate to see this happened. But um,
Speaker 1: like you said, his play wasn't up to part these
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Hopefully this this surgio get him
Speaker 1: right and give him a chance to get back on
Speaker 1: the field. But we'll see if he's here next year
Speaker 1: or not. All right, Okay, look I'm looking right here,
Speaker 1: just just trying to look down here. By gosh, you
Speaker 1: look at all these guys on injured cat reserve here, Um,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to see a number for Chris Jones.
Speaker 1: Chris Jones, Chris Jones, Chris Jones. He had signed a
Speaker 1: nice little deal I thought a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: all right, at one point nine mill Yeah, one point
Speaker 1: nine mills. What it's saying right here, that's what he's
Speaker 1: getting this year. Give me a second here, let this
Speaker 1: pop up here, and I'll tell you exactly, all right,
Speaker 1: Chris with a contract base salary this year of one
Speaker 1: point nine million cap hit two point four So Chris
Speaker 1: has a salary in twenty twenty one of two million
Speaker 1: dollars and a cap hit of two point five million
Speaker 1: and a dead cap hit of a half million dollars.
Speaker 1: So looking at the number for twenty twenty one, I
Speaker 1: think it may be safe to say he won't be
Speaker 1: back under that number. Maybe they cut some type of
Speaker 1: deal with him, but I don't think that you're gonna
Speaker 1: see Chris Jones back on the Cowboys next year with
Speaker 1: that kind of with that kind of hit, And especially
Speaker 1: if you're trying to sign Dak Prescott to a long
Speaker 1: term deal and you're looking to add more defensive help,
Speaker 1: you're gonna try and look for every dollar you can.
Speaker 1: And the salary cap going down next year, I don't
Speaker 1: see how from a business standpoint, someone who's had two
Speaker 1: bad seasons you're gonna go ahead and bring it back
Speaker 1: on that deal. Yeah, you're right. I mean, look, Chris Jones,
Speaker 1: that's my dog. You know, we've we've we've been teammates
Speaker 1: for a long time. But like you said, I don't
Speaker 1: think with that type of cap hit they bring him back.
Speaker 1: But I don't think he'll be the only one. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people on this, you know, defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball, offensive side of the ball, with
Speaker 1: steep cap hits that aren't being you know, aren't playing
Speaker 1: to that you know that cap hit potential. So for me,
Speaker 1: he won't be the only one revamped. But I think
Speaker 1: his time and doubts might be a short lived. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I actually I think I honestly need to
Speaker 1: go back and watch watch some more film on Christian
Speaker 1: Jones because I don't think I've seen the same thing
Speaker 1: that you guys seen as far as him in his
Speaker 1: location on the punts. I mean, you know, as far
Speaker 1: as punt teams go. In my opinion, it's it's a
Speaker 1: it's a two prong thing, right, So you can either
Speaker 1: ask the guy to punt out of bounds and keep
Speaker 1: it out of return of hands, depending on who you're playing,
Speaker 1: or you can ask them to keeping the bounds and
Speaker 1: get those fifty sixty yard punts and I'll kick your coverage.
Speaker 1: And you have guys that you may not be able
Speaker 1: to rely on to make those those tackles. So I
Speaker 1: think it goes two fold to see, you know, how
Speaker 1: how that actually went versus the stats. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: look at it to see I just didn't see the
Speaker 1: same thing. But I think you are writing his cap
Speaker 1: hit may be a little bit too big for him
Speaker 1: to be back on the squad, you know, considering all
Speaker 1: the all the changes that we might have to make
Speaker 1: next season. Well, I think the problem was and you know,
Speaker 1: you know, you know Danny from what Joe Dcanmilliss used
Speaker 1: to say, when you pump the ball in the middle
Speaker 1: of the field. I forget what he used to call it,
Speaker 1: what he called used to call it high treason. I
Speaker 1: think we called it high treason when you pump the
Speaker 1: ball in the middle of the field. And it wasn't
Speaker 1: that he wasn't getting you know, those bombs down the
Speaker 1: field like we're accustomed to sin, but he was just
Speaker 1: putting them right in the middle of the field. And
Speaker 1: like Joe DC Millis used to say, that's high treason
Speaker 1: because then you got the whole returner, He has the
Speaker 1: whole field to work with, instead of just placing him
Speaker 1: in a corner and kind of cutting off that wide
Speaker 1: side of the field. So I think his problem wasn't
Speaker 1: the distance. I just think his problem was the location
Speaker 1: of his punts and how he was kind of out
Speaker 1: kicking his coverage or not really giving his coverage a chance.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm gonna follow up on that one. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna follow up on that one. Okay, go ahead, No, No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch the film and then I'll all love
Speaker 1: with you because, like I said, I didn't see the
Speaker 1: same thing, and I know that Coach Rich and Keith
Speaker 1: Quinn's scheme was a little different than Joe's. Joe D's
Speaker 1: whole whole scheme was based on, you know, cutting off
Speaker 1: on one side of the field, and Coach Rich was
Speaker 1: kind of kind of different. It was it was rally
Speaker 1: and correl not not really not really as much as
Speaker 1: penning them in the corner. It's hard enough to play
Speaker 1: in the National Football League healthy, and it's definitely harder
Speaker 1: when you're hurt and you're talking about it core surgery
Speaker 1: for Chris Jones. So here's a guy who was who
Speaker 1: was kicking in pain this year if he was not
Speaker 1: healthy last year, and and it also contributed to him
Speaker 1: not having a good season, so we at least have
Speaker 1: a better understanding of what's going on with him. You
Speaker 1: are checking out the Players Lounge brought to you by
Speaker 1: Hotels dot Com or in our SWBC Mortgage Virtual Home Studios.
Speaker 1: Uh Danny and Barry had to get their obligatory obligatory
Speaker 1: you know, sid shot right out the gate, you know.
Speaker 1: And I told myself today so I was I was
Speaker 1: doing I was doing my tennis workout that I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, man, how soon am iael get get
Speaker 1: smacked over the head with yesterday from these guys? How soon?
Speaker 1: And sure enough, man right out the gate, man you
Speaker 1: got you got and you can tell you what, man,
Speaker 1: you guys are right on it. Man. You know he
Speaker 1: didn't meet check it in a slide just right out
Speaker 1: the gate man. Well safe. Yeah, you are the king
Speaker 1: of trying to move past stuff, right like answering questions,
Speaker 1: trying to move past you talked about session on you
Speaker 1: trying to move straight through stuff. So we gotta make
Speaker 1: sure that we slow it down a little bit and
Speaker 1: make sure we get our jabs in where we can,
Speaker 1: because you are you were in the show quickly with
Speaker 1: without us having the opportunity to get on you. O.
Speaker 1: He's like Floyd Mayweather out here. I mean, anytime you
Speaker 1: try to kind of pin him in a corner or
Speaker 1: you try to try to get something on him, he's
Speaker 1: always just playing defense, just bobbing and weaving out there.
Speaker 1: And I mean it's about time we were able to
Speaker 1: kind of corral you and kind of get you down
Speaker 1: right where you need to be. But I mean it's
Speaker 1: hard getting you, man, it's hard. I thought about today, Church,
Speaker 1: I was on that tennis course. So one of these days,
Speaker 1: when you're not playing, I want you to come on
Speaker 1: down to the gym, my gym, and I want you
Speaker 1: to come come see see get some of this tennis
Speaker 1: work out in. Man. Once you get some of this, man,
Speaker 1: you see us a lot. I'll do that. I'll do
Speaker 1: that as long as you come out to the golf
Speaker 1: course and give me a round of golf. And then
Speaker 1: I want you then, I want you to then I
Speaker 1: want you to ask I'm gonna ask you that same
Speaker 1: question if golf is a sported So get that round.
Speaker 1: YouTube McCrae, YouTube McCrae. You can bring bring them on up,
Speaker 1: bring them on up north, and uh, we'll see what
Speaker 1: y'all got on the course. And then I want y'all
Speaker 1: to say if golf is a real sport or not,
Speaker 1: I can't blame. Let me tell you some church. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you some church. I went to the Cowboys
Speaker 1: golf outing with you, right. Let me tell me another
Speaker 1: sport where you can where you can do that type
Speaker 1: of something we was doing out there on that golf
Speaker 1: course and still and still function. Please please tell me
Speaker 1: what I tell y'all, game a basketball game, a soccer game,
Speaker 1: a tennis match where you went to and they had
Speaker 1: drinks at every every stop and you was able to
Speaker 1: go sit there for an hour, drink a little bit
Speaker 1: and still performed. Please tell me where where you see
Speaker 1: that wasn't That wasn't a That wasn't a real outing. Okay,
Speaker 1: that was you know? That was you know, an event
Speaker 1: to where you know you gotta gotta please the guys
Speaker 1: and people coming in. That wasn't a real I'm talking
Speaker 1: about a real outing. Or we got the sticks out there,
Speaker 1: we're keeping score. You know, there's there's no beverages coming around.
Speaker 1: We're focused on golf. Then I want y'all to tell
Speaker 1: me if it's a real sport or not. So church
Speaker 1: you whoys event you have your old personal card. No
Speaker 1: I'm not. You know, I'm not that good yet to
Speaker 1: where I have you know, the own personal card. You know,
Speaker 1: I wait, I'm waiting until I get consistent to where
Speaker 1: I can put on those Jordans. You know those Jordan
Speaker 1: golf cleats they have nowadays. I'm waiting for us, for
Speaker 1: myself to get consistent to able to put those on
Speaker 1: and maybe get a customized golf court golf cart. I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm just out there. That's twenty five. Here we come,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I'm just just because that's my whole theory.
Speaker 1: If if you walk the horse, then you could definitely
Speaker 1: get some good exercise out of it. But you ride
Speaker 1: in a cart. When you're riding around the car, it's
Speaker 1: a lot easier. It's a lot easier. It's an easier game,
Speaker 1: an easy game. Oh my, the disrespect that's just fewing
Speaker 1: out of your mouth right now is it's it's it's
Speaker 1: legendary right now. I can't believe one you called it
Speaker 1: it's not a real sport. Then you go to talking
Speaker 1: about it's an easy it's an easy game. This is
Speaker 1: to me when you even when you use the cart,
Speaker 1: you're saying it's an easy oh horses, walking the course.
Speaker 1: Walking the course means you're exercise and you're actually putting
Speaker 1: out some energy walking up and down. If you just
Speaker 1: riding in the card, I mean, I mean, Danny, do
Speaker 1: you need to play. To play golf, you need to
Speaker 1: be relatively good shape. Yes, Yes, you need to be
Speaker 1: in relatively good shape. Yes. Oh everyway, So every time
Speaker 1: you play golf you've been in relatively good shape. Yes,
Speaker 1: because you gotta have that same swing for eighteen holes.
Speaker 1: You know what, it's hard. It's mentally it's hard. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you Church, you know, Church. I drive around the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: I drive around the neighborhood over here, and I see
Speaker 1: some dudes out there playing golf that I know that
Speaker 1: are not in relatively good shape after playing golf. It's
Speaker 1: nothing you can tell me from me looking and what
Speaker 1: I'm seeing out there playing golf. Relatively good you can have.
Speaker 1: You can have a couple of guys out there with
Speaker 1: the bellies, you know, they kind of how many guys
Speaker 1: have we seen on the football field with the bellies?
Speaker 1: And now I ain't talking about offensive linement. I stopped.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, they cut it, dude, they cut it your release.
Speaker 1: Like I said, line, I ain't talking about O and
Speaker 1: D line. And we've seen some guys out there, you know,
Speaker 1: look a little out of shape, but still playing. They
Speaker 1: were still in relatively the relatives. Wow, y'all spew in
Speaker 1: this blast for me today. I don't know what's going on,
Speaker 1: but golf is a real sport man, that's all I KI.
Speaker 1: Back to football, Okay, back to the real sports. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys have a quarterback question for Sunday on who will

Speaker 1: You shouldn't risk anything with a new boys, I understand
Speaker 1: one of you. Not. You're not rolling rolling out there,
Speaker 1: all right players line of NUIs Scrubs Cowboys reporter for
Speaker 1: too long that I want to remember, Umm winning the
Speaker 1: Emmy winning reporter. Don't forget that winning reporter. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: we do, okay, we do, all right, we do all
Speaker 1: right there. Um. Then you've got Danny mccraneberry Church. These
Speaker 1: guys played the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: and the two and six Cowboys faced the undefeated Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: Steelers on Sunday at at and T Stadium, and the
Speaker 1: quarterback will be either Garrett Gilbert or it will be
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. Garrett Gilbert has actually been with the team
Speaker 1: a little longer. Cooper Rush met with the media today
Speaker 1: and Cooper did say that ninety percent of the playbook
Speaker 1: is the same from last year, so he understands. And
Speaker 1: he said, quote timing is better than I thought it
Speaker 1: would be in quote talking about his poor with the
Speaker 1: wide receivers, I thought Mickey's back. Nolan Bill Jones brought
Speaker 1: up a great point on Mick shots when they said
Speaker 1: how every time a Karthur refers to either guy, he
Speaker 1: says Garrett Gilbert's name before he says Cooper Rushi's name.
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliot yesterday did confirm that both guys were splitting
Speaker 1: first team reps. So, mccraig, what do you make of
Speaker 1: the latest development? To nobody the way McCarthy says, They're
Speaker 1: gonna take the full week, so we won't know anything
Speaker 1: until Saturday about who is going to be the guy
Speaker 1: against Seas. I'm still I'm still on Gilbert man. He's
Speaker 1: already on the roster. Cooper Rush wasn't, so you know,
Speaker 1: let's see what the guy has. I think I saw Staton.
Speaker 1: You said, you know, neither one of them it started
Speaker 1: the game in the NFL yet, So give him a shot. Short.
Speaker 1: I don't know how short the leash has to be,
Speaker 1: but give him a leash. And then if it's you know,
Speaker 1: if it gets really ugly, they throw Cooper Rush out there. Well,
Speaker 1: my thought is, whoever you thought out there is gonna
Speaker 1: look rough anyways, but I think it'd be Gilbert, and
Speaker 1: look for me, I'm glad. I'm glad. I don't can
Speaker 1: either pick Garrett Gilbert or pick Cooper Rush. As long
Speaker 1: as you don't throw the Nucci back out there, I'm
Speaker 1: okay with it, and I'm glad one it shows me
Speaker 1: that they're not trying to tank, that they're not giving
Speaker 1: up on this season, that they still have hope, because
Speaker 1: if if they were trying to tank, if they were
Speaker 1: trying to just mail it in and say, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's just reach for the draft next year, they would
Speaker 1: keep throwing the Nucci out there, and we see the
Speaker 1: Nucci the rest of the season, but showing showing that
Speaker 1: they're not even there. You know, Janucci, you can go
Speaker 1: back to the practice squad, Garrett Gilbert and Cooper Rush.
Speaker 1: Now they're not you know, they might not make a difference.
Speaker 1: They might not make a difference, but at least they're trying.
Speaker 1: They're trying to put their best effort out there, and
Speaker 1: they're trying to put their best opportunity to win the
Speaker 1: game out there. And either of these two guys, as
Speaker 1: long as it ain't the Nucci out there, it shows
Speaker 1: me that they're not taking and that they're at least
Speaker 1: trying to get this NFC East time. I'm gonna call
Speaker 1: you about you. I'm gonna call you about your first
Speaker 1: night barrier. So they have to call these Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the left. So they're not trying to
Speaker 1: tank because Cooper Rush or Gilbert maybe me starting that
Speaker 1: if they would throw the Nucci out there, then that
Speaker 1: would that would go to me to just say, oh,
Speaker 1: they automatically just thrown in the town. They're saying, hey,
Speaker 1: let's get this draft tape ready, let's go for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one. Just seeing how he looked out there against
Speaker 1: against the um whoever the Philadelphia played last week. So
Speaker 1: Cooper Cooper Rush was the best available quarterback. All right,
Speaker 1: I got you that. So that that's the reason that's
Speaker 1: Listen once again, once again, they're not tanking, bro, They're
Speaker 1: not taking They still throwing young guys out there, literally,
Speaker 1: guys who haven't started one game in the league. Been
Speaker 1: the Lucie started one, he had the most starts, so
Speaker 1: you know, out of those three, so they still throwing
Speaker 1: guys out there who haven't started the game against a really,
Speaker 1: really froocious defense. So you know, it's not like they're
Speaker 1: really really trying to win, but you know, they just
Speaker 1: don't want to look horrible because you know, the Nuci
Speaker 1: did didn't look that way. But I mean he had
Speaker 1: reason to. If they wanted to tank, man, they would
Speaker 1: have just they would have kept with the Nuci. We
Speaker 1: would have just they would they would have cut Cloud
Speaker 1: the candy coated it somehow, saying, oh, we just want
Speaker 1: to see his development, we want to see how how
Speaker 1: he can how he can go out there and finish
Speaker 1: the season. That's how they would have candy coated it
Speaker 1: if they were tanking. But look, you know, Garrett Gilbert
Speaker 1: and they're not the greatest, they're not the greatest options.
Speaker 1: They're not the greatest options, but I think they give
Speaker 1: you a better chance than the Nucci out there. No,
Speaker 1: it's been three days at church, still over here trying
Speaker 1: to say that we said it's Tank. That is that
Speaker 1: the only tank on the tapecifically said thank specifically said tanking.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you you might not have said it,
Speaker 1: but newly specifically said tank it. And I also said this, okay,
Speaker 1: because let's let's go ahead and and take what I said.
Speaker 1: I said tanking, And I also said, now you don't
Speaker 1: have to quote unquote tank. You just have to play
Speaker 1: the guys you have, and you're going to be bad.
Speaker 1: You'll be a bad team and go where you want
Speaker 1: to go anyway. You know, by putting out Garrett Gilbert
Speaker 1: or Cooper Rush, this is going to help you secure
Speaker 1: a loss on Sunday. Okay, that's what they can't can't
Speaker 1: help as much as the Nucci. Putting the Nucci out there,
Speaker 1: it can't help as much as putting the Nuccie out there.
Speaker 1: You see, any one of these gotta start. Nucci has
Speaker 1: thirty seven more passes in the National Football League because
Speaker 1: he's been He's actually got that one start. We ain't
Speaker 1: talking about Coop us his preseason games, none of us yourself.
Speaker 1: Who gives us a better Who gives us a better
Speaker 1: who gives us a better option that winning? Cooper Rush?
Speaker 1: Gil b No, well, no, they hadn't started a game.
Speaker 1: Why are you talking about winning against the Steelers, because
Speaker 1: so y'are telling so y'all would have after what y'all
Speaker 1: saw on Sunday. Y'all trying to tell me the Nuccie
Speaker 1: gives us a better opportunity. We don't know. I'm saying,
Speaker 1: we have no idea the game. You played the game
Speaker 1: for years. You know what you saw on Sunday? Was
Speaker 1: that in Listen? But also, I haven't seen Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: and I haven't seen Gilbert. I'm just telling you, Listen, Church,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, no matter who's out there, the likelihood
Speaker 1: of us winning is very low. All Right, the Nuccie
Speaker 1: didn't have a rough Go in and listen to Church.
Speaker 1: It was his first start Sunday night football makeshift offensive
Speaker 1: line offensive coordinator who really who really didn't help him
Speaker 1: much besides on the first drive by not even letting
Speaker 1: him do anything but throwing behind a line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: It's not like he had a whole bunch of help.
Speaker 1: And if the playbook is the same, you're going to
Speaker 1: see the same stuff with Cooper Rush. You're gonna see
Speaker 1: the same stuff for then Gilbert and you, I mean
Speaker 1: for Gilbert, and it's going to you'd be like, you
Speaker 1: may as well beat the Nucie. You still you got
Speaker 1: Terrence still out. I mean, look, it's it's a problem.
Speaker 1: It's Cam Flemings might be out. I mean, car, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not disagreeing. I'm not disagreeing that you know, Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush or Gilbert is gonna bring they're gonna bring us
Speaker 1: a home of w or anything like that. I'm not
Speaker 1: agreeing with that part or disagreeing with that part. All
Speaker 1: I'm saying is they had they are better options than
Speaker 1: what we've seen. And Ben the Nuccie. That's all I go.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's they give us the best option. Okay.
Speaker 1: And I never see you take you Listen, you're taking
Speaker 1: your pick really bad, bro, you know because because like
Speaker 1: I said, you've been wish you watch you for this
Speaker 1: whole season. You was off the kool ai. Now you're
Speaker 1: on the kool Ai. I remember sitting outside in front
Speaker 1: of the fun Town RV and you sitting up there
Speaker 1: talking about the Nuccie swag. Yeah, I'm ready to see
Speaker 1: the nucle I did what I said. I know, I
Speaker 1: know I wouldn't say the game, and it's crazy. It's
Speaker 1: crazy that, you know, I expected him to go out
Speaker 1: there and not look so well. But I was a
Speaker 1: sudden he went out there and he looked like a
Speaker 1: rookie who was in his first start, playing in front
Speaker 1: of the bright lights, with the questionable stuff that we
Speaker 1: had already seen in my opinion, on play calling and coaching.
Speaker 1: And that's what turns you off from the Nuccie. It
Speaker 1: was expected. They didn't. They did exactly what we thought
Speaker 1: there was gonna do well except you. Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: didn't look But if you looked at that game, like
Speaker 1: the man looked scared out there, Like the man literally
Speaker 1: looked like man like he was looking over the sidelines like, Mack,
Speaker 1: can y'all bring somebody in to help me out here?
Speaker 1: Can y'all y'all it's about here. I mean, it just
Speaker 1: didn't look right. Now, that's what Andy don't looked like
Speaker 1: too when he was getting carved. Y'all give me some help, y'all. Way, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna disrespect. Don't like that. I ain't gonna don't. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. Man. Ain't no no he no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't. Even from the standpoint of trying to get
Speaker 1: some help. He looked better than the He looked better
Speaker 1: than the nuts yea out there. I will give you
Speaker 1: that he did, but you know they could both. The
Speaker 1: man's initials are literally bad bad man. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: it's initial phone. What's coming through my bad bows? Headphones
Speaker 1: from churches? Literally I'm literally wow, that's what I said. Wow, Man,
Speaker 1: you who somebody that no dumbs? You saw it? Something else?
Speaker 1: Man for not knowing but not seeing, not being able
Speaker 1: to play so well, I saw it. And that's why
Speaker 1: he ain't going back out there. So when we switch
Speaker 1: up shows next week, who are you who you're rolling with? Barry?
Speaker 1: What you mean who I'm rolling with? I'm rolling with? Uh.
Speaker 1: I think I'm Cowboys Break. I think I'm the breaking

Speaker 1: if you picked them in they win, then you can

Speaker 1: ahead and jump on that if I go to the
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, as the Cowboys take on the Pittsburgh Steelers,
Speaker 1: who have not lost a game this year. The Steelers
Speaker 1: are a double digit favorite at AT and T Stadium,
Speaker 1: and I expect to see a whole lot of terrible
Speaker 1: towels at this football game here. Steeler fans don't play
Speaker 1: see their team get to play here very often, so
Speaker 1: when they come, they like to buy up tickets. So
Speaker 1: I do think that if this thing gets away for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys early, it's gonna be a Steeler home crowd,
Speaker 1: because they travel, gentlemen, they travel, they do travel, and
Speaker 1: I think I mean growing up in Pittsburgh, I mean
Speaker 1: that's all I've seen was those terrible towels waving all
Speaker 1: over the place. I mean anywhere you go. They're on cars,
Speaker 1: they're on you know, side of buildings. I mean you
Speaker 1: see terrible towels everywhere. And when they played here, I
Speaker 1: think that was in I want to say it was
Speaker 1: in twenty or twenty four, twenty sixteen, last time we
Speaker 1: played them down here in Dallas. I mean that's all
Speaker 1: you saw was those yellow terrible towels taken over Jerry's world.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be it's gonna be a pretty crazy
Speaker 1: experience out there. Steller a Stealer fan, Nah, because my
Speaker 1: my pops he my pops was a Raiders fan, so
Speaker 1: I kind of me and my pops were the only
Speaker 1: we were kind of the scapegoat of the family because
Speaker 1: everybody was a Stealer fan. Everybody loved the Stealers throughout
Speaker 1: my whole family. And if you said anything bad at
Speaker 1: bottom of me, that was you, that was your that
Speaker 1: was you. You was done from there, but me and
Speaker 1: my pops. He was a Raiders fan, so I kind
Speaker 1: of followed my pops and then I kind of floated
Speaker 1: down here to Dallas. But yeah, I was never really
Speaker 1: a Steller fan growing up. Gosh, So so you're picked.
Speaker 1: So so when you picked the Cowboys this week, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be based off you really think they're gonna win,
Speaker 1: and you won't pick the steal If you picked the Stealers,
Speaker 1: it's not because you're a fan, it's because you think
Speaker 1: they got It's it's I think they're gonna win, and
Speaker 1: you know, the only one of the only chance I
Speaker 1: think we got, the only chance I we got, so Dallas.
Speaker 1: So you're saying there's a chance, there's always a chance.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. There's always a chance. Anything can
Speaker 1: happen on any given Sunday, you know, the best football
Speaker 1: movie there is. But what I'm what I was saying,
Speaker 1: is the only chance I think we have is if somehow,
Speaker 1: some way, the Steelers, you know, they're still high on this,
Speaker 1: you know, beating Baltimore Division opponent, the big rivalry. They
Speaker 1: just went up there and beat them, and then they've
Speaker 1: come to look at us, at the Dallas Cowboys saying, oh,
Speaker 1: they're down to their fourth string quarterback. You know, the
Speaker 1: offensive line is decimated. Let's just go ahead and mop
Speaker 1: the floor with these guys and kind of overlook us.
Speaker 1: I think that's really the only chance we kind of have.
Speaker 1: But even that, I mean, it's a long shot. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a long okay, Okay, all right, I got you.
Speaker 1: I'll see where we're going with this, Okay. I say,
Speaker 1: the only way that we have a chance is if
Speaker 1: the same thing that's happened at tonight on Thursday Night
Speaker 1: football for the San Francisco forty nine US happens to
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Were almost nine consent of your roster
Speaker 1: is not able to come down here, and you've got
Speaker 1: three guys that usually start going out there. It is
Speaker 1: kind of an even match. The same way that we
Speaker 1: have no offensive line. While offensive line is make shift,
Speaker 1: is Pittsburgh has to go through the same stuff. I
Speaker 1: think the defense is missing a lot of players. I
Speaker 1: think an offense will be able to put up some points.
Speaker 1: So there is a chance. COVID has given us a
Speaker 1: chance to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. And you know that
Speaker 1: you're gonna be there. Cooper rush Man, you know he's
Speaker 1: gonna be in there in attendance. So we always got
Speaker 1: a chance with Big Rush. I hope he not the
Speaker 1: only Cooper. I hope he's not the only Cooper. I
Speaker 1: hope he's not the only Cooper at the game, right,
Speaker 1: That's what I hope. I hope he's not the only
Speaker 1: Cooper that shows up to the game. And it's involved
Speaker 1: in the in the in the in the play call.
Speaker 1: So is your boy? Is your boy gonna show up
Speaker 1: this week? Is Cooper gonna show up and validate that
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars that the colle Cowboys have been given them?
Speaker 1: If killing Moore allows them to, I mean goodness, get
Speaker 1: the ball in the man's hands at any call, at
Speaker 1: any means necessary. Just find a way to get it
Speaker 1: to him. I don't care what it is. If it's
Speaker 1: a screen, if it's a if it's a jet suite,
Speaker 1: if you gotta put them back there in Wildcat, I
Speaker 1: don't care how you do it. The guy is a
Speaker 1: dynamic playmaker. He has the ability to do so he
Speaker 1: should be arrested, he should be healed because they haven't
Speaker 1: had him, had him involved in the game playing, and
Speaker 1: he hadn't been playing ninety percent of the snaps. So
Speaker 1: get him out there and let him see what he
Speaker 1: can do. If he can't do it, you're not You're
Speaker 1: not losing nothing, right, I mean you're gaining something no
Speaker 1: matter what happens. You get to see what Coo can do,
Speaker 1: see if he can make some guys miss and make
Speaker 1: some big plays. Final segment here the players launched by
Speaker 1: to you by Hotels dot Com. Knwy Scrugs, longtime Cowboys reporter,
Speaker 1: joined by former Cowboys players Danny McCray and Barry Church.
Speaker 1: Tough task for the Cowboys as the Pittsburgh Steelers come
Speaker 1: to town. Then after that it's a bye week and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys could definitely use some time to try and
Speaker 1: heal this roster of guys that are banged up. We
Speaker 1: do have Thursday Night football, and I got the worst
Speaker 1: thing you can get right now when you're playing fantasy football,
Speaker 1: as you get a Wednesday note that says, oh, your
Speaker 1: players out with COVID. So Brandon because the other nineers
Speaker 1: their first round draft pick who had twenty points last week.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, okay, with Nick Mullins in here, this guy's
Speaker 1: about they load up and and there's no deepo Samuel
Speaker 1: and bam he's out, So I can't play him tonight. Uh.
Speaker 1: San Francisco hosting green Bay? Green Bay favorite by seven gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Who do we like in this game? Church? Y'all start
Speaker 1: with you since you're you're mister Pickams. Okay, you know
Speaker 1: I like that jabb you throw in there. It's all good,
Speaker 1: it's all good. But I'm going I'm going with Green Bay.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like you guys said, um, you know,
Speaker 1: San Francisco they've been they've been riddled with injuries. Um,
Speaker 1: some guys on the COVID, some guys out with ankle sprains,
Speaker 1: and there their main offensive thread is he is out
Speaker 1: with a broken foot. So for me, I gotta go
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers and those boys. I got DeVante Adams
Speaker 1: on my fantasy. I need a big day out of him.
Speaker 1: Hopefully he can rush circles around these boys out there.
Speaker 1: But overall, I got this as an easy game for
Speaker 1: the Packers. I'm gonna go thirty five seventeen pack Oh okay,
Speaker 1: all right, listen, listen. More than more than picking the
Speaker 1: game and who's gonna win, I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: interesting for me to see how the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: are able to perform, knowing that they have all these
Speaker 1: injuries and people on the COVID list, versus how the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are able to perform in a very similar situation.
Speaker 1: All right, I think for me to tell me a
Speaker 1: lot about Shanahan versus what we have over here with
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore and Mike McCarthy. If the forty nine is
Speaker 1: able to go out here and be competitive against a
Speaker 1: good Aaron Rodgers led team and possibly put up a win,
Speaker 1: I think that says a lot when you start looking
Speaker 1: back and saying, hey, man, we didn't have enough to
Speaker 1: win you know, X amount of games and beat certain people.
Speaker 1: With that being said, I do pick the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1: Hopefully Davante Adams doesn't have a big game, because I
Speaker 1: played Church this week in fantasy football. Um, but I
Speaker 1: think the game is going to get a little out
Speaker 1: of hand just because that is a lot of injuries
Speaker 1: to overcome. So I see him winn about fourteen at
Speaker 1: a thirty five to twenty one. I still do think
Speaker 1: that San Francisco will be able to run the ball
Speaker 1: a little bit. On Green Bay, I went thirty three
Speaker 1: seventeen Packers win this football game. Look, if you're the Packers,
Speaker 1: you look at this game and you say, all right,
Speaker 1: this you've been given. You've been given a gift. Because
Speaker 1: when this game first came out and started the season
Speaker 1: and your account wins and losses, you're thinking, okay, you
Speaker 1: know what, San Francisco barely losing Super Bowl, that's probably
Speaker 1: all having to go out to California. But now with
Speaker 1: things changing around here, if you're a Green Bay, you've
Speaker 1: got to go handle your business and put one of
Speaker 1: these ws in the win column. And if they keep
Speaker 1: the playoff format the same, you're trying to get that
Speaker 1: number one seed, so you get a week off. And
Speaker 1: if people forget about that with the extra playoff team,
Speaker 1: that means the number one seed now gets the week off.
Speaker 1: So if I'm the Packers, and I'm Aaron Rodgers. I'm
Speaker 1: telling guys, hey, look, take this thing serious. Let's go
Speaker 1: out here to the Bay, knock these guys out the box.
Speaker 1: Take away they will, and and get on the plane
Speaker 1: and get all back here to Wisconsin healthy and with
Speaker 1: a win. So that, that, to me, should be the mentality. Um,
Speaker 1: you don't want to sit around here and play around
Speaker 1: and keep these guys in the game, especially with the
Speaker 1: game being in California. That's true. Rogersons from out there.
Speaker 1: Rogers is from out there too. Before you know, he
Speaker 1: got a bunch of people coming in there. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he definitely got a bunch of cats coming in and
Speaker 1: he got to avenge that. That what they did last
Speaker 1: year when they went up in there. I mean he,
Speaker 1: I mean San Francisco blew those guys the thors off
Speaker 1: of the pack. So maybe he wants to avenge that
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I know, we only got a
Speaker 1: quick little I think we got like three minutes left
Speaker 1: in the show. I wanted to I wanted to ask
Speaker 1: y'all this and see your thoughts on this. What do
Speaker 1: y'all think about Antonio Brown linking back up with Tom
Speaker 1: Brady down south and being part of the Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: Buccaneers hold on to wait to finish the other one.
Speaker 1: He has to avenge what the Vikers did to them
Speaker 1: last week on defense because they ran through it up
Speaker 1: like I don't know what happened, and what the bug
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers a couple of weeks ago, which was
Speaker 1: really ugly. So I mean, they gotta they have a
Speaker 1: possibility to go out there and lay an egg, so
Speaker 1: that's not out of the question. And uh and Tonio Brown,
Speaker 1: I honestly didn't think that he would get another job
Speaker 1: in the league, but you know there's a lot of
Speaker 1: guys around here that that get the second, second, and
Speaker 1: third and fourth chance. If it was my team, wouldn't
Speaker 1: have happened. I remember Bruce Arias saying that he's not
Speaker 1: a guy that we were were wanting a locker room,
Speaker 1: and then Tom brag changed it. So I'm not sure
Speaker 1: who the responsibility is gonna be on and who's who's
Speaker 1: who's the guy who's watching him. But I don't have
Speaker 1: much faith in him being able to stay on the squad.
Speaker 1: But people change, so you know, I just go based
Speaker 1: off what you've shown me. And he went through a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff in one season, so it's hard
Speaker 1: for me to say that he'll be able to stay
Speaker 1: out there this time, but you know, I wish the
Speaker 1: best for him. Jazz is back in the league and
Speaker 1: Tonio Brown is back in the league, not to say
Speaker 1: Capriny is gonna get back in the league. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know who, Who's that, Who's next, Who's next, Who's
Speaker 1: who's getting back in the league next. I picked up
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown for my fantasy team and I'm starting this
Speaker 1: so I'm counting on Antonio Brown come on through Tom
Speaker 1: Brady to go to a guy he trusts. So I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the Antonio Brown Gronk show. This is Tim
Speaker 1: running the team. He gonna tell Bruce arians what's up? Hey,
Speaker 1: Bruce were running these plays here that Gronk and Antonio No,
Speaker 1: So this was this was going on, and Bruce's just
Speaker 1: gonna sit up there saying okay, Tom, because Tom is
Speaker 1: running that thing. So I expect to see a whole
Speaker 1: lot of ab, a little dance, salsa, dancing the end zone.
Speaker 1: I'm all good with it, but I'm counting on it
Speaker 1: because I need him this week because I'm favored to
Speaker 1: lose by twenty. So I need Antonio Brown to put
Speaker 1: the thing on. But it's not good this week. Do
Speaker 1: you expect it to make it through the through the
Speaker 1: season on the squad without without having any issues? Yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: oh no no no no no. I don't mean because
Speaker 1: your fantasy team. I mean when you talk to when
Speaker 1: you speaking speaking, I believe this man has changed his world.
Speaker 1: Change this is This is just like when Adam Jones
Speaker 1: came to the Cowboy turned it or all around. Um, look,
Speaker 1: there's not too many more stops in the desert, That's
Speaker 1: what you'd have to think. You think somebody would tell
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown you know, there's too many stops in the desert.
Speaker 1: I mean unless you want to count Cincinnati. But Cincinnati
Speaker 1: that need him because they got receivers. M But but
Speaker 1: you really do need to make this one work. And
Speaker 1: this is a guy you like and the guy you know.
Speaker 1: So the opportunity for Antonio Brown is there. This is
Speaker 1: a team that I expect to be in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And if you're Antonio Brown, you come here, you help
Speaker 1: this team go to another level. You have a good
Speaker 1: playoff run, and you might be able to find yourself
Speaker 1: with maybe a two or three year contract next year.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot. There's a lot going on for him.
Speaker 1: And this is something else that that I don't think
Speaker 1: people talk about it. What are his legal bills been
Speaker 1: looking like the past couple of years because folks have
Speaker 1: been going after him. So so you need to make
Speaker 1: this count and you need to get every check you
Speaker 1: can because who know, and you got the child support. Mean,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff he's got going on in
Speaker 1: this he's been dealing with who do you mean? No,
Speaker 1: who do you mean? When you who are you talking about?
Speaker 1: When you says you know they know this guy? Who
Speaker 1: you talking about? Bruce Arians because he was that he
Speaker 1: was in Pittsburgh with Brady. You're talking about the week
Speaker 1: that he was up there, in the week he stayed
Speaker 1: up at Tom's house to sell those That's all that,
Speaker 1: all that matters is that Tom oh okay, okay, Hey,
Speaker 1: that's all they take. It is a week to know hi, man, huh,
Speaker 1: that's a week to know hi man. I got you,
Speaker 1: I got But I know a lot of it. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people. It's Tom's world. As we've
Speaker 1: already seen harryans and talk about we don't want him
Speaker 1: he's a deeva. Tom said, I wanted Tom said, I
Speaker 1: wanted grunk. So this is how how it goes, man,
