Speaker 3: Carolina coming up this week, the Cowboys just checking here.
Speaker 3: Five and three all time in Charlotte, North Carolina against them,
Speaker 3: they hold the advantage ten Winnsday five losses.
Speaker 4: The last meeting in Carolina the Cowboys lost. It was
Speaker 4: to start the season.
Speaker 3: It was a sixteen to eight loss September ninth, twenty eighteen,
Speaker 3: otherwise known as a.
Speaker 4: Jason Garrett Special.
Speaker 3: But they end up going to the playoffs, So, hey,
Speaker 3: we did they did do that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I say they lost the game, but they went
Speaker 6: to the playoff like convisional two, you went to the
Speaker 6: player should have lost a game. Like we're back at
Speaker 6: twenty eighteen. Hey, shout out to the Carolina Panthers of
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three, and uh, we should look we should
Speaker 6: look down good against this squad.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, I mean they are twenty ninth and scoring,
Speaker 3: so they're seventeen, they have seventeen a game. They are
Speaker 3: thirtieth in opponents scoring. They are total offense. There thirtieth defense.
Speaker 2: They're bad.
Speaker 3: They're too so, I mean, you know, well seventh overall,
Speaker 3: but you know they're playing that division. They're negative forward
Speaker 3: turnover margin, their penalties a right there with the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Cowboys are sixty nine a sixty two. So we're gonna
Speaker 3: se a whole lot of flags.
Speaker 4: Gona be gonna be a three.
Speaker 6: And a half hour game those No, man, it's a
Speaker 6: bad it's a bad football team. It's another bad football team,
Speaker 6: you know, and uh, heck, how you feel about this
Speaker 6: bad football team?
Speaker 2: No, I feel like twenty off the plane. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: you like that? You like that? Off playing back man.
Speaker 6: Last week, said dog, I just wasn't in the mood
Speaker 6: to beat cocky last week off of the Philadelphia loss.
Speaker 2: Man, I didn't feel my say last week, this man
Speaker 2: a box of.
Speaker 6: Man. I mean, it's a bad team. It's a bad
Speaker 6: team that you know. Not a good talk about my
Speaker 6: guy last week. He wasn't very good. Brice Young is
Speaker 6: having a struggle too. He's having a struggle and running
Speaker 6: game troubehover three hundred and fifty one yards, I believe
Speaker 6: so far so the running game isn't as effective offensive line, man,
Speaker 6: they had a Musical chairs kind of situation going on
Speaker 6: in their head. Coach, you you talked so highly about.
Speaker 2: Right right, right, my man, right right? You got love
Speaker 2: for Frank, don't you? You don't have no love of Frank?
Speaker 2: Okay you don't? All right? Well aitherway, Adam Thieling.
Speaker 6: Adam Thieling probably wishes he was back in Minnesota right now.
Speaker 2: That's a bad move.
Speaker 6: But man, look another one of those teams that again,
Speaker 6: we talked about the schedule and how the Cowboys right
Speaker 6: now need to get into a five and Nate said
Speaker 6: six game winning streak. We just hey, man, we need
Speaker 6: to get some wins under our belt. Come up, we
Speaker 6: need the status. Is the time to do it before
Speaker 6: we get to the toughest part of our season, which
Speaker 6: y'all can tell is December. And the Cowboys have that
Speaker 6: December stigma. It's been there since Romo and it's gonna
Speaker 6: come back, and we need to respond.
Speaker 2: We definitely need these NFC wins for sure. No, I'm
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 5: Heck when you talk about you gotta stack these wins up,
Speaker 5: especially against NFC opponents.
Speaker 2: And I see this as another dug for Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: I don't think it'll be as easy as it was
Speaker 5: against the Giants as far as marching up and down
Speaker 5: the field. I don't see it as being as high
Speaker 5: scoring because, like you said, you know the Panthers defense,
Speaker 5: they're not trash.
Speaker 2: Would you say seventh overall? Yeah, seventh overall only they're
Speaker 2: not trash.
Speaker 5: They got some players over there, Brian Burns off the edge,
Speaker 5: you can present a problem as well.
Speaker 2: Corners over there. I believe it's j. C. Horn and
Speaker 2: he was questionable over there as well. So defense they
Speaker 2: have some pieces.
Speaker 5: It won't be like you know, the New York dumpster
Speaker 5: fire that came over here last week. So to me,
Speaker 5: I feel like there'll be a little bit more of
Speaker 5: a challenge. But the Cowboys is still rolling by at
Speaker 5: least two tubs, at least two toups.
Speaker 6: Listen, this is how I look at this game is
Speaker 6: this is as you're getting ready for the toughest part
Speaker 6: of your schedule, how you can continue to train and
Speaker 6: get better at those situations that haunted you before you
Speaker 6: went on this little streak where the offense is transitioned
Speaker 6: into Okay, Dak is the guy, and we're gonna run
Speaker 6: our offense through that. Can we continue to build on
Speaker 6: that and if we can, then decemble looks good for us.
Speaker 2: If we can't, Right.
Speaker 6: If you go out here against the Carolina Panthers, and
Speaker 6: although they're not trashed on defense, if you look at
Speaker 6: our offense and how they have performed over the last.
Speaker 2: Few weeks, we should tear these dudes up.
Speaker 6: We should go out here and Ceedee Lambs should have
Speaker 6: another game with ten catches and one point fifty branded
Speaker 6: Cooks should go out here and he should make some
Speaker 6: noise and that chemistry with the receiver group in Dak
Speaker 6: Prescott should grow even more. So then when you get
Speaker 6: a to December, you'll be all right. If you come
Speaker 6: out here and you struggle because they defensive seventh, then listen,
Speaker 6: Lord help you when you get when you get to
Speaker 6: some real when you get to some real defenses, all right,
Speaker 6: Because that's what is that.
Speaker 3: I'm holding in my hand the press release for the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This is the media notes.
Speaker 2: Let us know what it says. I know you got
Speaker 2: some highlighted.
Speaker 3: Here is the roundup and the team spotlight. The team
Speaker 3: spotlight this week is see what you did, show them,
Speaker 3: see what you did. That's all the promotion man, I'll
Speaker 3: tell you they need to hire you. He has nothing
Speaker 3: to do with that.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you that he don't care because he's not
Speaker 6: playing fantasy football. But there is no reason that my
Speaker 6: man should not get at least seven to eight targets.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to do you.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to make sure you shut up.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 3: You know you asked for it. You got it, baby.
Speaker 3: Brandon Cooks man here doing this thing. Third highest receiving
Speaker 3: total this year in the NFL. Tyreek was number one
Speaker 3: with two fifteen for coach soul down there, and then
Speaker 3: Noah Brown of the Cowboys is actually tied. He had
Speaker 3: one self the texts of the Texas, the Texas formerly
Speaker 3: the Cowboys. Then they got Brandon Cooks. So there you go.
Speaker 4: This is SEC week for the Cowboys.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 3: You know, every every year, this is that time you
Speaker 3: just look at the SEC schedule and you just see
Speaker 3: how they're not playing anybody. Alabama's taking on Chattanooga at home.
Speaker 3: A and M is hosting Abilene. Christian Old miss has
Speaker 3: uh u elm Monroe, Mississippi State got Southern miss Auburns
Speaker 3: got New Mexico State, Arkansas got FIU. South Carolina's actually
Speaker 3: playing context and then you know your boys are playing Georgia.
Speaker 2: State, so give them the contest.
Speaker 6: Why is it like that because we usually start off
Speaker 6: the season playing a big time team. Put in your
Speaker 6: record on the line and your placement in the in
Speaker 6: the college football Top twenty five. But it's okay, it's
Speaker 6: all right, you're right, this is it's not SEC week.
Speaker 6: This is a regular college Let.
Speaker 5: Me ask you real quick, if if if they go
Speaker 5: back out there, the Cowboys go back into this game
Speaker 5: and they go back to the ways they've been before
Speaker 5: last week. So I'm talking about centering solely on CD
Speaker 5: lamb infird with that, where were you going forward? I
Speaker 5: mean they're gonna get the dub regardless. But if they
Speaker 5: go back to that offense where it's CD fur or
Speaker 5: bust with that, where y'all going forward?
Speaker 2: I'll be upset.
Speaker 6: I'll be extremely upset because you put it, you land
Speaker 6: the ground work finally to make sure that you are
Speaker 6: not one dimensional offense. All right, If you line up,
Speaker 6: if you line up Ceate and Ferg on the same side,
Speaker 6: like the defense can just lean on that side of
Speaker 6: the field and not worry about who you got lined
Speaker 6: up an X or who you got lined up like
Speaker 6: you don't have to worry about that type of stuff.
Speaker 6: And then also you're getting guys who you are going
Speaker 6: to need to lean on when you get deeper into
Speaker 6: the season, involved in the game, so they can build
Speaker 6: that connection.
Speaker 2: If you just all of a sudden go away from that.
Speaker 6: After one game, then I don't have any confidence that
Speaker 6: when you get into one of those tough dog fights
Speaker 6: that you're gonna be able to revert back to hey man,
Speaker 6: we're gonna get everybody involved now. For me, man, I
Speaker 6: just feel as though that the New York Giants game
Speaker 6: showed you that Brandon Cooks has it. He still has
Speaker 6: something in the tank. He's not to be overlooked. Look
Speaker 6: at sixtion three. We want to we want to get
Speaker 6: hot at the right time. As we look at this seat,
Speaker 6: we look at the season as a schedule. But I'm
Speaker 6: enjoying the fact that we're saying that you're our lead
Speaker 6: dog and we're gonna go We're talking about CD lamb
Speaker 6: and you're gonna get this this this offense going. I mean,
Speaker 6: we're not getting anything from the running game. That's that's
Speaker 6: the problem is that's the problem. And as long as
Speaker 6: we continue to ignore that, then we're gonna keep coming
Speaker 6: back to Okay, we're gonna ride the arm of DAC
Speaker 6: because that's all we have. If on first down we're
Speaker 6: not as effective as we were at the beginning of
Speaker 6: the season because team teams are willing to line up
Speaker 6: or just crowd the line of scrimmage and not show
Speaker 6: any respect to DAK in the passing game, if you're
Speaker 6: gonna play CD lamb one on one, I'm gonna take
Speaker 6: that every time. And I'm and again from a defensive standpoint,
Speaker 6: even office, what do you do. You take what the
Speaker 6: defense gives you. And if you're gonna continue to die
Speaker 6: like that, then I'm gonna continue to ride eighty eight.
Speaker 6: And that's not a knock on anything else. But I'm
Speaker 6: just saying, if CD continues to give me one hundred
Speaker 6: and fifty two hunder yards two tubs and I can
Speaker 6: have him involved like that and we can still win games.
Speaker 6: I don't have a problem with that, with it in
Speaker 6: the back of my mind saying hey man, we still
Speaker 6: need to fix these other things. It's a problem when
Speaker 6: we come against Philly. It's gonna be a problem when
Speaker 6: we come against San Francisco. Because what are they gonna do.
Speaker 6: They're gonna take away our best player, last part and
Speaker 6: you can still win games. Because CD had one feet
Speaker 6: against Philly and we was all looking around like, hey,
Speaker 6: whoa that was what.
Speaker 2: That last was? The was the thirty yards shung it
Speaker 2: shorter in listen? I know it is what it is.
Speaker 6: Fine, that's fair, But I'm saying, yes, if you can
Speaker 6: continue win, but you can't. You can't do that against
Speaker 6: against good teams that you were going to see possibly
Speaker 6: in the playoffs. You can't win that way. And we've
Speaker 6: seen it. We haven't. We haven't beaten a good team
Speaker 6: playing that way. But the way we played last week,
Speaker 6: which I'm not you know, I'm not saying that that's
Speaker 6: that's the thing because it was the Giants. But if
Speaker 6: you could continue to make sure you get those those
Speaker 6: other pieces involved, I think you have an identity, do
Speaker 6: you also like in those good In those games where
Speaker 6: we've played against those upper echelon teams, our defensit hasn't
Speaker 6: responded as well.
Speaker 2: So I mean that's they played well enough to be
Speaker 2: well enough.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they played well enough to keep you in the
Speaker 6: game if you was if he was moving the ball
Speaker 6: a little bit. We're going three and out, three and out,
Speaker 6: three and out. What you expect them to do against
Speaker 6: the squad like that? Like they played well enough and
Speaker 6: made enough place to where if it was a close
Speaker 6: enough game in the office is moving the ball, we
Speaker 6: would be sitting here probably saying, man, that was a
Speaker 6: good old game. But office, this show up, just like
Speaker 6: they haven't shown up the last few times we played,
Speaker 6: said fran.
Speaker 3: Ceedee Lamb, the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Hit

Speaker 6: by the mallentime's day. You're pushing it, point said he is.
Speaker 4: Keep going to the downtimes. We can see we still.
Speaker 6: I'll just say I want to make sure I wouldn't
Speaker 6: you know, it rose too early. I don't want to
Speaker 6: do it, but I did anywhere with pouting, and I'm
Speaker 6: smiled when I get hold I'm glad you had me
Speaker 6: do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go, there you go. You have moved
Speaker 4: on up.
Speaker 2: Hecker.
Speaker 3: Harrison raised a point just talking about Michael Parsons, who
Speaker 3: left quickly from the locker room on Sunday on a
Speaker 3: day when the Cowboys went upside the Giants head. They've
Speaker 3: they've neutralized the lion. Lion not happy looking at the
Speaker 3: NFL sack leaders right now, Micah is tied for tenth
Speaker 3: at seven and a half with Hassan Riddick of Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: Your sack leaders right.
Speaker 3: Now, Arlington's ome Miles Garrett the Browns eleven and a half.
Speaker 3: He's tied with Danelle Hunter the Vikings, who has eleven.
Speaker 4: TJ.
Speaker 3: Watt eleven, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Killer.
Speaker 6: TJ Watt and half for you killing the quarterback turned
Speaker 6: on the film and is Daniel Hunt. I got nothing,
Speaker 6: I got nothing, So I'm doing alone. Man in black.
Speaker 6: Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 3: Tied for ten time for ten and so you know,
Speaker 3: we started talking about defensive Player of the Year right
Speaker 3: now to me, Miles, Garrett's got to be in the lead.
Speaker 3: That defense is carrying this team. See DeShawn Watson's gonna
Speaker 3: be out for the rest of the year. Even just
Speaker 3: what they did against Baltimore on Sunday. Man, that defense
Speaker 3: is good. So you got Garrett obviously TJ Watt this
Speaker 3: they got no offense in Pittsburgh. He's there with Dinah
Speaker 3: half doing his deal there, you know, So heck, where
Speaker 3: do you where do you think?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 6: I don't not so much that the ship has sailed,
Speaker 6: but I think coming into and dan Quinn we trust.
Speaker 6: Let me say that first and foremost is how was
Speaker 6: he going to use Michael? And I think that the
Speaker 6: plan was to move Micael around both edges and stand
Speaker 6: you know, off ball linebacker as well. Man, As I
Speaker 6: start to evaluate this thing, and maybe Micah is a
Speaker 6: victim of his own success in a way because teams
Speaker 6: are double triple team in him. But I think also
Speaker 6: Michael Parsons impact on the defensive line. You have a
Speaker 6: lot of these other guys like Osa Adorns. A lot
Speaker 6: of these guys play out of position because of the
Speaker 6: way that dan Quinn is using him. And as you say,
Speaker 6: Osah Diggie Zua is typically a three tech. You know
Speaker 6: that when Micah's down inside, they'll bump him out, and
Speaker 6: these guys are essentially playing out of position. So like
Speaker 6: Mazie Hankins and just having to play with a guy
Speaker 6: like that, I liken it to play in with a
Speaker 6: Michael Jordan some a big time player, and so I
Speaker 6: think the attention on him has changed the way that
Speaker 6: this defense functions in a lot of ways, because if
Speaker 6: you look around the NFL, a lot of defenses don't
Speaker 6: function the way that ours do with the way that
Speaker 6: we use Micah, and Man, I don't know going forward
Speaker 6: if they'll start thinking about him more in terms of
Speaker 6: a three to four. That's how I've been bouncing this
Speaker 6: off of you for about a year now, Dog, But
Speaker 6: I'm just saying think of him as a three to
Speaker 6: four because t J. Watt plays is that way, Miles
Speaker 6: Garrett plays that way. But essentially what everybody thinks is
Speaker 6: a curse is oh, you're just gonna put him on
Speaker 6: one side and everybody's gonna know where he is. Well,
Speaker 6: the guys that you just mentioned, they play on one side,
Speaker 6: So that's not as bad as other people are saying. It,
Speaker 6: But those individual accolades right now, you're starting to see
Speaker 6: it start to affect him, especially in a winning effort.
Speaker 6: If Michael's leaving the stadium ticked off because he had
Speaker 6: had a sack, he hadn't had a tackle, you know.
Speaker 6: But I'm really brought that question up because I think
Speaker 6: overall the defense has to play different because of the
Speaker 6: way that they use Micah. And maybe if dan Quinn
Speaker 6: just says, look, man, we're just gonna put you out
Speaker 6: here on this left side. We're gonna let you rush,
Speaker 6: maybe that would give him the impact that he's looking for.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: To me, well, it has the ship sailed. I don't
Speaker 5: believe it has saled yet because it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be tough to get back in there because Miles,
Speaker 5: Garrett and TJ. Watt, their numbers are house standing right now.
Speaker 5: But he's gonna have an opportunity with these upcoming games
Speaker 5: coming up, especially these they do walk by, especially these
Speaker 5: prime time games. He's gonna have an opportunity to go
Speaker 5: out there and show what he got. But as far
Speaker 5: as just you know, lining them up, what you here go,
Speaker 5: as far as just lining him up on one side, the.
Speaker 4: Best sixty one of all time.
Speaker 2: Yeah did he make it? Yeah he should have.
Speaker 5: Don't get him started, please, But I like how Daddy
Speaker 5: Quinn uses him all over the place, as far as
Speaker 5: the chests BEEAs. I like how using him over the
Speaker 5: center guards tackle trying to get that best mismatch he
Speaker 5: can and as far as you know, Micah maybe being
Speaker 5: frustrated to be how he's being used. I've seen him
Speaker 5: a little bit more in that second level linebacker position,
Speaker 5: not always just coming after the quarterback. So maybe he
Speaker 5: wants to beat one of those guys like a Miles
Speaker 5: Garrett or t. J. Watt that's consistently just hunting the
Speaker 5: quarterback like that's their main focus. Maybe they'll drop one
Speaker 5: or two times a game, but ninety nine percent of
Speaker 5: the time rush after the quarterback. So maybe he wants
Speaker 5: to be used in that regard. But I still like
Speaker 5: how they got him moving around and at least on
Speaker 5: that defensive line, over center's guards and just getting that
Speaker 5: biggest mismatch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I think you have to.
Speaker 6: I mean, based off the lady vandersh being out and
Speaker 6: you're trying to figure out a way to make sure
Speaker 6: that your second level is okay, you gotta play it
Speaker 6: like Michael Parson's being that great and you know that
Speaker 6: he can play both positions. I think they were forced
Speaker 6: into a point to where that, like, sometimes you gotta
Speaker 6: play him as an off the ball linebacker. And then
Speaker 6: you also get into these situations where the game kind
Speaker 6: of dictates how we're able to play. And you get
Speaker 6: into a game like San Francisco where ain't that much
Speaker 6: pass rush, you don't have, you don't have that many opportunities,
Speaker 6: or you get into a blowout and then you see
Speaker 6: other guys making plays so quick that Micah can't even
Speaker 6: get in there because or he may be playing off
Speaker 6: the line linebacker and he's watching these other guys make
Speaker 6: these plays in positions where he used to line up at.
Speaker 6: That can be a frustrating thing for a guy as
Speaker 6: good as him, who has the aspirations to be defensive
Speaker 6: Player of the Year. I still like the way that
Speaker 6: they're they're using him because you have to, like you
Speaker 6: have to your linebacker. You don't have depth at the
Speaker 6: linebacker position to where you can afford to not have
Speaker 6: anybody with that can make any real impact at the
Speaker 6: second level of your defense.
Speaker 2: So you have to.
Speaker 6: And that's when you have to be a team player
Speaker 6: and trust that your squad ownership organization they still know
Speaker 6: that you are still that great of a player, but
Speaker 6: that defensive of that ship itself, because we can be
Speaker 6: talking about double team tripty and they're trying to figure
Speaker 6: out they do the same thing and all the other dudes. Okay,
Speaker 6: you see Miles Geartt going left side and right side
Speaker 6: and left side with his crossover heat, wrestling over the tackle,
Speaker 6: rusting over the guard. They move all these guys around,
Speaker 6: and all these guys are still figuring out ways to
Speaker 6: be impactful in the game, not just how they help
Speaker 6: the other players around them get one on ones, but
Speaker 6: then also them still getting their sacks and they tackle
Speaker 6: for losses.
Speaker 3: So so you start to look at the schedule a
Speaker 3: little bit where you can gain some ground. This is
Speaker 3: a game, Rice Young, where you can gain some ground
Speaker 3: in terms of getting the sack numbers up. Washington comes
Speaker 3: to town on Thanksgiving Day, Sam Howe, they've been giving
Speaker 3: up some sacks, so that you got a couple. And
Speaker 3: then of course when the national game comes against Philidelphi
Speaker 3: on NBC, there's another opportunity. So there's some there's some
Speaker 3: ways to some opportunities. And when we all know the
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving Day game is you know that's a national game,
Speaker 3: right there, no only one playing through gonna have some
Speaker 3: opportunities to get up there and show people he's Michael Parsons.
Speaker 4: He's gonna need that.
Speaker 3: And you know you need some a signature type game play.
Speaker 4: Against Philly and a win.
Speaker 3: You know, that's when you talk about that kind of
Speaker 3: player where you want to get back in this thing.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to do something people. Hey, you know,
Speaker 3: well like Laurences Taylor, Lloyd Taylor out there when you
Speaker 3: carrying a load and you're doing something special like that.
Speaker 2: To me, that's what I think he's got to do it.
Speaker 6: Don't you think that's where the frustration comes from. And
Speaker 6: when you're coming out of the New York Giants and
Speaker 6: you say, okay, I got some ground. There's some teams
Speaker 6: where I can build some ground. And then your first
Speaker 6: shot at being able to really do that, you hope
Speaker 6: you don't really get anything done. You know, I'm just
Speaker 6: not some other guys make another guys play some other
Speaker 6: guy's basic players on defense. Alright, So now, but I
Speaker 6: think that's that's the frustration when you say he's like,
Speaker 6: he's sitting at home saying I got four or five
Speaker 6: games where I can get my numbers up and you
Speaker 6: don't do it. What's wrong with Tommy d was not good.
Speaker 6: That's one person who might be able to shake us
Speaker 6: a little bit. He was like, at least got that part.
Speaker 6: He ain't getting me killing everybody else. It's gonna be
Speaker 6: a lot of line Sam Williams somebody, And that's what happened.
Speaker 6: When we coming here. You'll be like, why Mike ain't
Speaker 6: made no players? And they'd be look double t on it.
Speaker 6: They said they're not gonna let Michael make no plays.
Speaker 6: Everybody else could kill us, but Mike, Mike, that's not true.
Speaker 2: That's not.
Speaker 6: Kill everybody else. Got killing himself. They're gonna take a break.
Speaker 6: I'm not any of that breaking nudes.

Speaker 3: said he's resuming the team's play calling duties starting Sunday
Speaker 3: with the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: So the offensive coordinator who gave a play call to
Speaker 4: that brothers now shoved in the back.
Speaker 3: Here comes Frank and my goodness, graces, you should be
Speaker 3: very happy you're a Cowboys here because Frank Wright's not good.
Speaker 3: Same old Frank Wright who got fired mid season by
Speaker 3: the Colts and Jeff Saturday took over, won a game,
Speaker 3: and now he's calling the plays. Boy, if I'm Michael Parsons,
Speaker 3: I'm having a party now.
Speaker 2: Frank Frank's back.
Speaker 4: Frank is back calling place terrible.
Speaker 2: I feel good.
Speaker 4: They thirty off the plane.
Speaker 2: Thirty might be thirty. Why would he picked this game?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's exactly what I was gonna Why do it
Speaker 6: now on Wednesday?
Speaker 2: You're gonna do that. You gonna announce this today against
Speaker 2: this team. He must see something, He must sa something
Speaker 2: more tap and say you know what's that?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah about that that the owner man walked past
Speaker 4: him and looked that way.
Speaker 5: You know that, you know, to make sure he got
Speaker 5: I'm going out there going I'm going down swinging.
Speaker 4: So if you are David Temper, you go back to
Speaker 4: listen to some of the prescotts. This whole thing about
Speaker 4: Frank Right. He's believing that Frank.
Speaker 3: Right was the you know, the guy in Philadelphia that
Speaker 3: you know like he you know, they won the Super
Speaker 3: Bowl and Frank is that guy and it's proven not
Speaker 3: to be that guy.
Speaker 4: But the owners bought in.
Speaker 3: Man, he got the owner of snow snow jobbing and fool.
Speaker 3: So if I bring you in and we're gonna take
Speaker 3: Bryce young, you're supposed to bring all your guru magic
Speaker 3: to help fill up with the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: And you stopped calling the planes and then the team
Speaker 4: is still in the rut.
Speaker 3: You go snatch it back and you know, trying to
Speaker 3: make I mean, I I'm know what I'm looking at you, sideway,
Speaker 3: what's he for?
Speaker 2: My question is what did they expect that?
Speaker 6: What were what were their reasonable expectations this year with
Speaker 6: a rookie quarterback? And I don't has there been a
Speaker 6: quarterback that is coming to the league I guess in
Speaker 6: a very long time. That is that they were expecting
Speaker 6: him to have that success with this roster, and even.
Speaker 4: They've had a guy in Carolina.
Speaker 6: Let's be reasonable, though, even with Stroud in the year
Speaker 6: that he's having, they're not taking the league by storm.
Speaker 2: It's not like they're undefeated. They have losses. It's I mean, let's.
Speaker 6: Happen five and four, five and four, And I'm not
Speaker 6: I'm not trying to say that they're They're not juggernauts,
Speaker 6: is what I'm saying. And if you're going to struggle
Speaker 6: and teams are going to have some some if you
Speaker 6: didn't have the line that Dak came into the league
Speaker 6: with at twenty sixteen, it's really hard to have an
Speaker 6: expectation that you're going to exceed or be these these
Speaker 6: these killers out here that they're expecting for Carolina to be.
Speaker 6: Frank Wright right now taking over as the offensive play
Speaker 6: caller is is an insult to.
Speaker 2: The guy that he hired to do the job. I mean,
Speaker 2: they are struggling because they are literally a bad team.
Speaker 4: But he had it and then he gave it away
Speaker 4: when they were struggling, and so now he's taking it back.
Speaker 2: But that's dumb.
Speaker 6: Of course, let me ask you, let me ask you
Speaker 6: a question. Then so if well, everyone sorry, not just you.
Speaker 6: If I draft first or that early and the year
Speaker 6: prior to draft, I don't expect to be drafted like
Speaker 6: I expected to struggle, but I don't expect to be
Speaker 6: drafting there again at least be competitive, you know what
Speaker 6: I'm saying, Like I think the context of like they're struggling,
Speaker 6: and then like they bad, like they're bad, like they
Speaker 6: you got a guy who wins the Heisman, comes in
Speaker 6: there and he looks bad, and then you got to
Speaker 6: look at the other guy doing really well with.
Speaker 2: A roster with Robert Woods, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Robert God. You know.
Speaker 3: So I'll go back to this. When I worked in
Speaker 3: l A. I became friends with Joby Brandy, long time mate.
Speaker 3: Joby's guy was Achille Smith, and and they also had
Speaker 3: Brian Leaf, you know, so I watched him over the
Speaker 3: you know these two years deal with these helped with
Speaker 3: Lee Soberg, deal with these quarterbacks, and so at that
Speaker 3: time it was Peyton Manning Ryan Leaf. Well, you know,
Speaker 3: Bill Polling and company never looked back. We got the
Speaker 3: right guy, you know, and the Chargers sitting around there
Speaker 3: when they had a Chilly Smith, it was kind of like, okay, well,
Speaker 3: here's it was supposed to be Killy versus Tim Couch.
Speaker 3: And then the Eagles had taken taken Dona McNatt number two,
Speaker 3: and it just didn't work out for a Killy Smith
Speaker 3: and they're like, you know, so the Bengals was like, well,
Speaker 3: you know, we didn't get the shot in the other two.
Speaker 4: You're the Panthers.
Speaker 3: You trade up assets, Bears, have your number one pick
Speaker 3: next year because you've identified that Bryce Young is your guy.
Speaker 4: And the owners hired quarterback.
Speaker 3: Guru dude who who who helped won a Super Bowl
Speaker 3: with Nick Foles and Carson Wentzon. They're like that guy,
Speaker 3: and now they're the fans there my Carolina Panther friends.
Speaker 4: Are like, yeah, man, we messed up. We messed up,
Speaker 4: and it's not all Bryce's fault.
Speaker 3: There's no help around, but I'm sorry, Frank right looks like, man,
Speaker 3: you got no guru with the rude, where's the route
Speaker 3: with the guru?
Speaker 4: It doesn't look good. And so now you're snatching it back.
Speaker 2: You know, now you're supposed to be pixie dust.
Speaker 4: Whatever you're gonna do.
Speaker 2: So some years this is this is some years of
Speaker 2: like this is firero.
Speaker 4: This is this is because you don't have a first
Speaker 4: round of next year, right, this is.
Speaker 2: You so bad? The team they took it from you
Speaker 2: get beat you.
Speaker 3: Last week he beat you, and they still gonna get
Speaker 3: your number one pick and they're helping himself and beat you.
Speaker 4: But go back to you know, who's the most popular
Speaker 4: player in Carolina pants history. He was the number one guy.
Speaker 4: Came in there setting records out the box man.
Speaker 3: Not that they were expecting him, but you know, hey,
Speaker 3: we're gonna go back to the SEC get.
Speaker 4: Another dude for the state of Alabama.
Speaker 2: And he ain't good.
Speaker 6: I mean, I just back to what you were saying,
Speaker 6: and the expectation is set on this franchise with the
Speaker 6: number one pick. I look at guys like Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 6: when he came into the league. I mean, they didn't
Speaker 6: finish at the top of that. I mean, Dewfall is
Speaker 6: still I think even after they made the when they
Speaker 6: made the coaching change, that's where they felt like, Okay,
Speaker 6: we have the coaching place that can lead these guys
Speaker 6: to where they want to be their playoff that what
Speaker 6: they did last year I think was where they envisioned
Speaker 6: Trevor Lawrence to be. But he struggled coming to the
Speaker 6: league because he didn't have the pieces around him.
Speaker 2: You're right.
Speaker 6: His head coach was who in Ohio, y'all go back
Speaker 6: to Florida, y'all go back. He didn't make it through
Speaker 6: the year, but that's why he started about. Frank rank
Speaker 6: Is like, hey man, you erban didn't make it. Oh
Speaker 6: Urban got caught up and he was he taking the
Speaker 6: team playing back. How can't he How can he make
Speaker 6: some Trevor Lawrence is okay, he can't can't do it.
Speaker 4: He don't worried about his bar. Why checking out?
Speaker 2: He wasn't thinking about.
Speaker 6: Y'all go ahead back. I see y'all on Tuesday. That man,
Speaker 6: that man was trying to get fired. Urban was wild man.
Speaker 3: Urban didn't care laughing people like, hey, you might get
Speaker 3: an A and M drop like didn't he show you
Speaker 3: enoughing Jackson?
Speaker 4: This man not in this no more that. This man
Speaker 4: not trying to put in that kind of work.
Speaker 2: It's just gone.
Speaker 4: It's gone. So hey, man said, I'm dan Quinn. I'm
Speaker 4: feeling real good right now seeing frank Old Frankie back here.
Speaker 2: I'll come another blowout.
Speaker 4: I mean bad is.
Speaker 6: That in these games like this, guys do you do
Speaker 6: you worry about the false confidence that comes from beating
Speaker 6: up on teams that and I don't want to count
Speaker 6: these before before we actually get there and actually get
Speaker 6: the win. But wins like this, you know how it's
Speaker 6: perceived around the league and then the media and everywhere.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you're supposed to get that. You're supposed to
Speaker 6: do that. And then you come into Thursday against the Commanders.
Speaker 6: If you pull that, that game as well, that's the
Speaker 6: one you're supposed to get you And then you run
Speaker 6: into a Seattle which everybody perceives as a very good team,
Speaker 6: has a good defense and a great office as well
Speaker 6: in receivers, and okay, you can't overlook them, even though
Speaker 6: you have Philly.
Speaker 2: Sitting right behind them.
Speaker 6: Those are these are the kinds of games you're supposed
Speaker 6: to get, you're supposed to win. But is it giving
Speaker 6: you false hope going into that stretch where you know
Speaker 6: you're gonna be facing opposition that's gonna be much tougher.
Speaker 5: I would any other team, I might say, yeah, I
Speaker 5: could give you a little bit of false hope. But
Speaker 5: with McCarthy, you know, you gotta give credit where credit
Speaker 5: is due, no matter what the situation is going on
Speaker 5: with him.
Speaker 2: He usually has his squad ready to go and ready
Speaker 2: to you know, ready to play.
Speaker 5: We rarely see this team and that's the one thing
Speaker 5: I'll say is, you know, I got to give more
Speaker 5: credit to McCarthy on.
Speaker 2: That than Jason Garrett. Is we rarely see this team
Speaker 2: start slow.
Speaker 4: Rarely.
Speaker 5: I mean, if they're supposed to be the team, you
Speaker 5: rarely see them outside of Arizona play down to the
Speaker 5: level of competition. I mean all the squads that they've
Speaker 5: gotten a dub over this year. You're talking about the
Speaker 5: Giants twice, Patriots, Jets, who else, the Chargers, you know,
Speaker 5: those guys, they pretty much stomped them, you know, outside
Speaker 5: of two games. So they don't play down to the
Speaker 5: level of or the level of their opponents. So to me,
Speaker 5: you know, I wouldn't expect them to come out here
Speaker 5: with any false confidence. I believe they know who they
Speaker 5: are and I think they got that identity off the
Speaker 5: shoulders of Dak Prescott. So going forward, I think they
Speaker 5: know who they are and I wouldn't expect anything less
Speaker 5: from them.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I don't see any false confidence because luckily
Speaker 6: they played the two best teams we believe to be
Speaker 6: in the NFC at that time.
Speaker 2: They played them early and they saw what happened. So
Speaker 2: there is to me, there's.
Speaker 6: Nowhere in their mind where they could be like, nah,
Speaker 6: oh yeah, we're better than them. Now, nah, you are
Speaker 6: working to get on that level because there wasn't say
Speaker 6: it was a measuristick. Okay, we play San fran Were
Speaker 6: we good as them?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 6: We played Philly really close game. I think we're getting better,
Speaker 6: but we still got some stuff to work on. So
Speaker 6: now you've got New York, you got Carolina, you get
Speaker 6: the Washington and then you'll see, all right, by the
Speaker 6: time we place Seattle, that's where your confidence starts to
Speaker 6: really get built.
Speaker 2: All right, did we really.
Speaker 6: Get better over those over those last three weeks or
Speaker 6: are we still the same team when.
Speaker 2: We come up against some good competition.
Speaker 4: Guys, y'all, man, congrats again on the four.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, man, you know I appreciate that.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, he's seventy. He's seventy years old. He's not
