Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is the
Speaker 1: players Land broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at
Speaker 1: the Star. Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny McCray, and
Speaker 1: NEWI scrugs. Here it is Players Laughs on a victory Monday.
Speaker 1: Hello everyone there scrubs joined by two former Dallas Cowboys players,
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent safeties, talking about Danny McCray and Barry Church. Gentlemen,
Speaker 1: there should be no complaining for the fan base today, right,
Speaker 1: no complaints after a fifty six to fourteen win on
Speaker 1: Sunday night football. Right, there shouldn't be any. There shouldn't
Speaker 1: be any, But you know that somebody's gonna find the reason.
Speaker 1: To me, I'm happy offense back on tracks, special teams
Speaker 1: playing well, and defense continuing to roll. So I'm awesomiles
Speaker 1: on my side. Oh I lost out for a hot second? Man?
Speaker 1: What was that again? Newly, I said there should be
Speaker 1: no complaining amongst the fan base today after Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right about that. Man. You ain't gonna here no
Speaker 1: type of complaining. I know I was a little bit
Speaker 1: of a wrenched last time. We talked because I wasn't
Speaker 1: sure about whether this can be the formula for success
Speaker 1: or not. But man, these boys, man, I mean, words
Speaker 1: can't even explain it, really, how dominating of a performance
Speaker 1: they had out there on Sunday. I mean I figured
Speaker 1: they would win the game, but not like that. Man,
Speaker 1: you got a special team's touchdown, a defensive touchdown. Dak
Speaker 1: looked back to us always and I know we're gonna
Speaker 1: break it all down in this in this version of
Speaker 1: the players nouns. But man, I'm at a loss for
Speaker 1: words right now. Well, to me, I look at it
Speaker 1: simply as is the defense finally got some help, right,
Speaker 1: That's all I needed. There's a little bit of help
Speaker 1: because the defense came out there and continued to ball
Speaker 1: out like crazy. I mean, why Taylor Heidege decided to
Speaker 1: go after tray Vall Dick. I don't know. I'm not
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I don't know what he was thinking. But
Speaker 1: there you got, there's one you go. I see, like,
Speaker 1: going into this game, they had it in their mind.
Speaker 1: Look as soon as the game jump off, we're going deep.
Speaker 1: We are taking a shot deep this first possession. That's
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. I understand that you want to
Speaker 1: take your shot, But why I take it to that guy?
Speaker 1: Like you got Anthony Brown? Don't over here, you got
Speaker 1: all these other guys. You want to take a shot
Speaker 1: at a man who has probably the best ball skills
Speaker 1: out of any defensive back in the National Football League
Speaker 1: right now, converted wide receiver, You want to take a
Speaker 1: deep shot on that guy. It just goes to show
Speaker 1: you Washington, Man, they didn't losing team. They didn't just
Speaker 1: know what they just know how to lose games. And
Speaker 1: they started it off just right. He was he was
Speaker 1: setting the tone, man, He was setting the tone for
Speaker 1: how the day was gonna go. Man, let me go
Speaker 1: out here and go ahead and rick this game. And
Speaker 1: you see right after that will fall off the Washington
Speaker 1: football team. Right they started points put up on them
Speaker 1: like crazy dudes on the sideline fight and get hit
Speaker 1: with right right hooks because they get fingers put on
Speaker 1: side of their face like the wheels literally fell off
Speaker 1: after their second offensive play, which was which is absolutely
Speaker 1: crazy because the game was more competitive a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, so you figured maybe they would put up,
Speaker 1: you know, a better fight, but they just had no
Speaker 1: shot last night, and and that's what we're supposed to do.
Speaker 1: When when you go out there, you play a team
Speaker 1: who's missing some of their key players, you supposed to
Speaker 1: go out there and you're pupposed to stump them out
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game and ended before it
Speaker 1: even gets started. Well, my initial thought process was maybe
Speaker 1: heine kids trying to get Terry McLaurin off because Dick
Speaker 1: erased him in the last football game and then mclauren
Speaker 1: left to feel hurt. So maybe they thought, you know,
Speaker 1: when we're gonna go after this dude right away, we're
Speaker 1: gonna show him we're boss. Bad idea, and Terry mclauren
Speaker 1: once again basically shut down. He had three catches for
Speaker 1: forty yards, and the three catches came to the competitive
Speaker 1: football phase that the game was over. So Digs in
Speaker 1: my opinion, guys, this we're not talking, you know, because
Speaker 1: he's made the Pro Bowl. I'm talking All Pro now.
Speaker 1: He's got to be all the first team All Pro
Speaker 1: list with eleven interceptions here that I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know who'll be the second corner, but Trey ba Dix
Speaker 1: has got to be on the All Pro team. He's
Speaker 1: got to be. You're you're one hundred percent right about that.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I know, the guy's giving up the
Speaker 1: most yards out of any corner in the National Football
Speaker 1: League right now. But when you're talking about a guy
Speaker 1: who's making game changing plays, game momentum, swinging, whatever you
Speaker 1: want to call it, this dude is making splash plays
Speaker 1: each in every week. Like this guy has his hands
Speaker 1: on football's like he's a wide receiver out there, so
Speaker 1: I can I mean, it's gonna be hard for me
Speaker 1: to see two other corners ahead of him, especially when
Speaker 1: you talk about the All Pro team. They might want
Speaker 1: to throw in Jalen Ramsey because he's having a heck
Speaker 1: of a season out there as well. But when you
Speaker 1: talk about the main job of a defensive back, especially
Speaker 1: a cornerback, this dude is doing it. He's getting the ball,
Speaker 1: he's intercepting each and every chats that's thrown his way,
Speaker 1: and if it's not intercepted, it's contested and what he's
Speaker 1: doing a better job of that. Earlier in the season
Speaker 1: we were kind of like, I don't know, is he
Speaker 1: a leader not He's shadowing the best receiver and not
Speaker 1: only is he shadowing, he's shutting them down. So this guy.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just taking his game to the next
Speaker 1: level after next level after next level. And you know,
Speaker 1: I know all pros already in Pro Bowl, All Pro
Speaker 1: that's already in. We need to be talking about Defensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Year as well. I mean, I know
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is getting a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: you know, adulation and celebration for him being in a
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year running. But this guy, Digs
Speaker 1: he needs some of that as well. Man, Yeah, listen
Speaker 1: and Digs's ball. And I thought it was crazy when
Speaker 1: he was going through training camp and he was like, man,
Speaker 1: I had I got my hand on fourteen balls last season.
Speaker 1: I got to convert all those and it says that
Speaker 1: I was like, but you didn't getting fourteen nothing ain't
Speaker 1: no way. And he literally is all his way to
Speaker 1: doing that. He's on pace, especially with some of the
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that you that you figured that you're gonna play
Speaker 1: Colin Murray hadn't been planned as well, then you got
Speaker 1: wasn't Jamalen Hurst coming up? So you have a chance
Speaker 1: to get to fourteen realistically, especially if they're going to
Speaker 1: continue to come at you. My only question for Heineke
Speaker 1: if we go back on the last subject, just why
Speaker 1: don't they run the nobble like they literally just come
Speaker 1: out and McLaurin just runs straight down the field. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're not showing any respect for this dude. And he's
Speaker 1: been intercepting passes from the beginning of the season at
Speaker 1: an alarming rate. And that's the guy you decide to
Speaker 1: go ahead. Treymund Diggs should be in the conversation for
Speaker 1: all of the accolades, for Defensive Player of the Year,
Speaker 1: for All Pro Team, for everything. He should be in
Speaker 1: that conversation because when you get less like church you
Speaker 1: play defensive back, when you get eleven interceptions in the season,
Speaker 1: that should be like, that's the end of the season.
Speaker 1: You might do that by week sixteen seventeen. This dude
Speaker 1: still got games to play. Man, You talk about eleven
Speaker 1: getting getting five interceptions is tucking in the league, Man,
Speaker 1: this dude is out here snagging them out only just
Speaker 1: getting picks, but getting picks sixes. Man Like this, this
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. And you know, I'm gonna go back to
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke one more time here. This dude needs to
Speaker 1: be an all time backup, whether it's second string, third string,
Speaker 1: whatever the case may need to be. He needs to
Speaker 1: be an all time backup. I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: nothing more about Taylor Heineke and his magical approach to
Speaker 1: winning games and all this other stuff. First of all,
Speaker 1: the guy he was, he was playing like he was
Speaker 1: in a press position. I'm talking about digs and at
Speaker 1: the snap of the ball he turned his back so
Speaker 1: and he's looking at the quarterback the whole time. So
Speaker 1: you know he's playing some type of cover three, some
Speaker 1: type of zone where he's all he's necessarily all he's
Speaker 1: concerned about is the deep pass. And you still throw
Speaker 1: the ball, and not only you throw the ball, you
Speaker 1: don't give your receiver a chance. He threw that ball
Speaker 1: all the way inside by the numbers. The safety almost
Speaker 1: got to the ball. So I mean it's Taylor Heineke
Speaker 1: man man worst Fitz magic gap. He didn't out the
Speaker 1: game better? What the Tabor behind? Yeah, I mean that
Speaker 1: was down like terrible. Double G looked better just showing
Speaker 1: up on Thursday. Then he's been there all season. He goes, hen,
Speaker 1: we only heard about Double G and they shout out
Speaker 1: to trade mounds. Is he is bawling? And what I
Speaker 1: thought was unrealistic at the beginning of the season with
Speaker 1: him saying he's gonna get fourteen interceptions. He's on his way,
Speaker 1: so shout out to him. I'm happy to be wrong.
Speaker 1: His son is his own point and he's only pretty
Speaker 1: much every quarterback that he's playing against. And I'm just
Speaker 1: confused with why they keep going at all. Like the
Speaker 1: remember they said Brett Farr gave a straight hand that
Speaker 1: last sat that like that. That's what I feel like
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks is doing that, Like you know what, let
Speaker 1: me try to get this man the record, Like, I
Speaker 1: don't understand what's going on. Hey mccraig, what team were
Speaker 1: you a part of? Like who had the most interceptions
Speaker 1: on the squad that you were a part of ever,
Speaker 1: like in your whole career. Man, the entire time I
Speaker 1: was there, you were there to church and we did
Speaker 1: not have any defensive backs that we're getting interceptions like that,
Speaker 1: So I would probably say like two or three even
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Weren't nobody getting no picks in Chicago like that.
Speaker 1: Even nobody nobody's getting like bro, nobody gets picked not
Speaker 1: like this. But yeah, we were we were a team
Speaker 1: that were turning the ball over like we are now,
Speaker 1: you know, and shout out to the other guys who
Speaker 1: are also getting picks and pick sixes. It's literally something
Speaker 1: that you just won't see again for a long time,
Speaker 1: na and now your career. The most picks I've ever
Speaker 1: seen was I think a j Boyer has six in
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and that was unprecedented. I'm like, man, this dude's
Speaker 1: ball behind of control. This guy almost doubled it with
Speaker 1: three games leapt in the season. I mean, this is nuts, man,
Speaker 1: this is crazy. Cowboys haven't seen it forty years. Everson
Speaker 1: Walls ended up with with having picks back in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty one. Something that's very interesting, and I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: and look into this later on Danny about Dick's being
Speaker 1: possible Defensive Player of the Year Stefan Dick, I mean
Speaker 1: step on guild War ended up winning it a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago with England. I need to go back
Speaker 1: and see exactly what kind of year he had in
Speaker 1: which he was able to capture that award and maybe
Speaker 1: something along the lines maybe a Cowboys pr and needs
Speaker 1: to probably get involved in is starting to look at
Speaker 1: what has Digs done against some of these elite wide receivers.
Speaker 1: I mean, Justin Jefferson is elite as a receiver in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. I think he held him the
Speaker 1: two catches on the Halloween night, so you know, building
Speaker 1: up that resume. Just okay, not only look at what
Speaker 1: he's done, who's who has he done it against? Because
Speaker 1: that also matters, and we just say, all right, hey,
Speaker 1: look you go over there, you go take that guy.
Speaker 1: That's when you're a different on a different level. And
Speaker 1: that to me is when you're talking about, you know,
Speaker 1: a defensive back being NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 1: That's the kind of resume. Those are the kind of
Speaker 1: things you look at me and in the swag that
Speaker 1: he's playing when you can see it, you can see
Speaker 1: it driven off of them. When he's out there playing
Speaker 1: the game, like I don't care. Every time he play
Speaker 1: he's looking back to either the posting team sideline like
Speaker 1: I don't understand why y'all trying this, or you're looking
Speaker 1: to our side line like these dudes is crazy. Like
Speaker 1: he's out there playing with nowhere. He has an ultimate
Speaker 1: confidence and he continues to say it, and he continues
Speaker 1: to play that way, and you can see it. Man,
Speaker 1: this is This is one of those years where I
Speaker 1: wish that this is his contract year, because knew this
Speaker 1: was it, he would be making a hundred million dollars, right.
Speaker 1: These are the type of years that you wish you'd
Speaker 1: have in a contract year. Yeah, he's gonna break the
Speaker 1: bank eventually. And you could tell he's out there with
Speaker 1: so much saw, so much swash, so much drip, just
Speaker 1: about his alignment, I mean the back. You understand this
Speaker 1: when when when corners are out there, they're not even
Speaker 1: like in the position. They're just out there walking around,
Speaker 1: standing straight up, you know, just looking around, seeing what's
Speaker 1: going on. You don't even know if they're ready to
Speaker 1: play if the snap. The snap can happen at any second,
Speaker 1: and you don't even know if they're ready to play.
Speaker 1: And he goes out there and make plays like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, the confidence right now for this dude is
Speaker 1: on another level. I mean, he can God, he can.
Speaker 1: He can probably cover God right now if he stepped
Speaker 1: on the field. I mean, this dude, whoa I don't
Speaker 1: know about that. I was about to get Kelvin Joseph's
Speaker 1: in love and church over and taking the church church over.
Speaker 1: Skills are unmatched right now. Man Man birthday twenty field
Speaker 1: just fast you I can't talking about it. I ain't
Speaker 1: talking about going on football. Y'all know that I got
Speaker 1: a chill out with so dude bringing up a good point.
Speaker 1: Boss Man fat ends up getting to start, almost had
Speaker 1: his hands on the ball that he had intercepted. Here,
Speaker 1: you guys have played in the league. How much is
Speaker 1: a guy like Kelvin Joseph a rookie to this team?
Speaker 1: Seeing everything that's happening start, he starts to feed into
Speaker 1: and buying into. This is the program, this is how
Speaker 1: it works, and this is the level of play I
Speaker 1: need to be at if I'm gonna be out here
Speaker 1: contributing on the football field. Yeah, listen, like like we
Speaker 1: said last week, when you watch these guys and how
Speaker 1: hustle on how they play, especially the starters. When you
Speaker 1: see Tank making a hundred million, but he's out there
Speaker 1: hustling like he's a rookie. When you see Randy Gregory
Speaker 1: out there doing the same thing, Michael Parsons being the
Speaker 1: man getting all the pub and he's still out there
Speaker 1: busting his ass every time he's running through. You know
Speaker 1: that they're showing the young guys that you have to
Speaker 1: come in and play this way if you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of our defense. And you can see
Speaker 1: that on defense, and you can see that on special
Speaker 1: teams when you see guys coming in here and they're
Speaker 1: given everything they got to block these punts right because
Speaker 1: they know that is the standard. And we know the
Speaker 1: same standards set like that in office because the Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott is the leader of that group and they're gonna
Speaker 1: follow him, so they're always gonna play hard. But defensively,
Speaker 1: last year what you saw was guys not hustling, guys loafing,
Speaker 1: and then that kind of trickling down to other guys
Speaker 1: on the squad. And this year it is literally a
Speaker 1: one eight, like if you step on the field, you
Speaker 1: have to play up to this level or get off
Speaker 1: of it right. And you can see that that that's
Speaker 1: what's going on on our defense without a doubt. And
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna have to I'm gonna, you know, two
Speaker 1: two people credit on this one. You know, I gotta
Speaker 1: give two people credit. One is Dan Quinn. I mean,
Speaker 1: he he made his defense flip a complete one eighty,
Speaker 1: not only on the field, but just the culture around
Speaker 1: the organization. Defensively, just knowing that. You know, yet they
Speaker 1: can be the strength of this team because for so
Speaker 1: many years it was, you know, all the defenses holding
Speaker 1: his back and all the offense got to do so
Speaker 1: much for this defense to even be successful. But now
Speaker 1: they're able to switch that whole time around, and he
Speaker 1: has these guys flying around. So I gotta give credit
Speaker 1: to Dan Quinn for that big turnaround defensively, and also
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. I mean, this guy, this rookie, his energy
Speaker 1: out there, it's contagious, and you can tell by going
Speaker 1: out there. You've seen the law talking about, Man, I
Speaker 1: gotta get back out there. I gotta get back on
Speaker 1: this field. This young guy, he's doing too much damage.
Speaker 1: I gotta get piece of that. He's making everybody else
Speaker 1: step their game up, whether it's on the defensive line,
Speaker 1: whether it's the linebackers, the secondary. He has that just
Speaker 1: contagious juice about him that gets everybody flowing. Just that
Speaker 1: youthful experience out there that gets everybody just wanting to
Speaker 1: play football and having fun. And these guys are doing that.
Speaker 1: They're having fun out theaters. They're not letting the pressure
Speaker 1: get to them, at least, you know, on on the
Speaker 1: surface of things. They're not letting the pressure get to them.
Speaker 1: They're flying around there. They're playing for each other and
Speaker 1: I'm just glad these guys are having fun with it.
Speaker 1: And defensively, man, they're flying around. They are flying around. Man,
Speaker 1: he is he earning that twenty man t Tank is
Speaker 1: setting the tone like crazy when you think about it.
Speaker 1: Diggs gets the first offensive possession. Cowboys don't get anything done.
Speaker 1: So first play, Washington goes to Diggs, he makes the pick.
Speaker 1: Then they go out and convert a touchdown. It's seven
Speaker 1: to nothing. You got a fourteen nothing league. Tank with
Speaker 1: the interception returns at forty yards. Unbelievable play. The kind
Speaker 1: of play you see at a high school leveling. It's
Speaker 1: not the kind of play to see in the National
Speaker 1: Football League, made by by a big man like that.
Speaker 1: So Tank Lawrence is in my opinion, I thought that
Speaker 1: was the backbreaking play. To me, when I saw that,
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, now this is this is done the deep.
Speaker 1: The defense is continuing to set the tone. The offense
Speaker 1: has come to do their part here. This is not
Speaker 1: going to be the Washington football team's day. And Tak
Speaker 1: Lawrence is the undisputed leader in my opinion of this defense,
Speaker 1: he's he is that alpha dog here. And while he
Speaker 1: won't make the make a Pro Bowl because of the
Speaker 1: time he missed, he's back to being a blue chip player.
Speaker 1: He wasn't a blue chip player in the last two years.
Speaker 1: He's a blue chip player. Micah Parson is a blue
Speaker 1: chip player. Trayvond Diggs is a blue chip player. You
Speaker 1: get three players on all three levels of the blue
Speaker 1: chips like this man, you could do something like they
Speaker 1: did in a fifty six to fourteen win. And then
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory is playing an outstanding football here, so I
Speaker 1: curse out standing. Yes, he has outstanding football Sacking the quarterback,
Speaker 1: getting that secondary lined up. I mean, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: a tough out, man, They're gonna be a tough about
Speaker 1: especially if this offense is rolling or getting back to
Speaker 1: what it was doing at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough out for anybody in these playoffs. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, what Tank Lawrence did yesterday, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: he basically broke Washington. I thought that play right there
Speaker 1: just said so much and you saw the way the
Speaker 1: stadium was rocking sidelines. I mean that just that just
Speaker 1: took everything to the next level. And obviously we'll take
Speaker 1: a break here, we'll come back and we'll talk about
Speaker 1: the slump that Dak Prescott was in. Okay, he says
Speaker 1: he wasn't, but he was. But we're talking about it's

Speaker 1: safeties Buried Church and Danny mccraids in victory Monday. No
Speaker 1: complaining allowed on this show today because the Cowboys dominated
Speaker 1: the Washington football team fifty six to fourteen. Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: put a whole lot of work in and basically a
Speaker 1: half put in the whole game in a half, three
Speaker 1: twenty one yards, four touchdowns, threw an offensive touchdown to
Speaker 1: an offensive threw a touchdown pants to offensive blinding tight end,
Speaker 1: thlunding back receiver. The man was balling out of control
Speaker 1: and afterwards he was asked if he felt like the
Speaker 1: slump was over, and Dak was like, oh what slump?
Speaker 1: I was never in a slump, Like okay, all right, whatever,
Speaker 1: say whatever, you want, But what we saw the last
Speaker 1: three four weeks was not you what we saw on
Speaker 1: Sunday that football against Washington football team. That's the Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott that got paid forty five million dollars. That's the
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott that can take the Cowboys deep in the playoffs. Fellas.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on what Dak was saying that, Hey, ain't
Speaker 1: no slump sum you're talking about. Look, look, man, I
Speaker 1: don't know what Dak over there talking about. You know,
Speaker 1: I guess he was a little hyped up after the game.
Speaker 1: But my man was definitely in a slump. I mean
Speaker 1: there was six weeks there where I think his quarterback
Speaker 1: rating was down in the forties or the fifties, So
Speaker 1: I mean, he definitely had a little slump there. But
Speaker 1: to me, I thought this game right here, there's fifty
Speaker 1: six to fourteen game. I thought this was gonna happen
Speaker 1: last Like I thought them going to New York, that
Speaker 1: was gonna be to get right game and they were
Speaker 1: gonna blow the doors off of them, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: get out of this slump. But I just took another
Speaker 1: week to get that thing going. And they went out
Speaker 1: there and they punished I mean straight punished the Washington
Speaker 1: football team. And then you look at Kellen Moore and
Speaker 1: what he was able to do. Play calling wise, they
Speaker 1: did an emphasis on I know my boy d Mac
Speaker 1: was happy about this, an emphasis on getting the ball
Speaker 1: to nineteen early and often. So you saw they were
Speaker 1: drawing up plays for him, making him the primary target,
Speaker 1: not just saying okay, if he wins, you know, look
Speaker 1: his way, he might be open. He was the primary
Speaker 1: target on a lot of those plays out there. He
Speaker 1: voiced his concerns earlier in the week, Kellen Moore said,
Speaker 1: I I'm a feed of the football, big dog, and
Speaker 1: he was able to do that. They had a couple
Speaker 1: of good plays in there where they were drawing up
Speaker 1: some things to where you got creativity that we saw
Speaker 1: earlier in the season from their play calling. It kind
Speaker 1: of shone a little bit. There was one play I
Speaker 1: think on third and sixteen early in the game where
Speaker 1: I was like, man, thinking catch lateral pass. I don't
Speaker 1: even know how to explain it, but that was just
Speaker 1: out of pocket, like don't ever do that stuff again.
Speaker 1: But you can see the man did. The emphasis on
Speaker 1: getting the ball to Amari Cooper showed a little bit
Speaker 1: more creativity out there, and Dak Prescott was a lot
Speaker 1: more efficient, a lot more accurate than he's been in
Speaker 1: the past. The offensive line block well for him, So
Speaker 1: it was a good day all around offensively. And shout
Speaker 1: out to a Terre Steel for getting that big fix
Speaker 1: six as they call it, big man in the end zone.
Speaker 1: That was awesome. Yeah, we get on him in a minute. No, listen,
Speaker 1: I didn't believe that Dak Prescott was in the slump
Speaker 1: and knew he. I know you said no complaining, So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it this way. Dak Prescott went out
Speaker 1: there and did what he was supposed to do. And
Speaker 1: I give him credit for that because you've seen teams
Speaker 1: and players not go in and and handled their business
Speaker 1: like they're supposed to when you play against the team
Speaker 1: who were missing those type of weapons. Uh, the La
Speaker 1: Chargers versus the Houston Texas this week went out there
Speaker 1: and they weren't focused, and they didn't do it they're
Speaker 1: supposed to. They went out there and lass, So shout
Speaker 1: out to that and and the Cowboys for going out
Speaker 1: here and do what they're supposed to do. I think
Speaker 1: this is a good get right game for that for
Speaker 1: him to get that confidence back and be able to
Speaker 1: see if I do things and serve the way and
Speaker 1: get back to the basics, then I'm able to play
Speaker 1: at the at my best. And he went out there
Speaker 1: and he did that, and shout out to Amari Cooper
Speaker 1: if you see if you, if you watch it, the
Speaker 1: guy was open. Every time he's going to run the
Speaker 1: route and to get him open. And he and he
Speaker 1: literally can do this at any point in the game,
Speaker 1: especially if you if you if the defense is playing
Speaker 1: man the man courage, So shout out to him for
Speaker 1: getting that. If you see it. When the offense goes
Speaker 1: four to twenty one to nineteen, right, Dak Prescott focused
Speaker 1: on Ezekiel Ellett and then focus on Amari Cooper. Everything
Speaker 1: opens up, the bootleg opens up, the play actually opens
Speaker 1: up deep just opened up. The middle of the field
Speaker 1: opens up like that is the recipe for you to win.
Speaker 1: Give the ball to the guys who make the money
Speaker 1: and you will be okay. And we did that and
Speaker 1: it looked amazing, Like he said, Church, shout out to
Speaker 1: Terren steel Man he got on the touchdown. When Terry
Speaker 1: Sniff come back, he'd be back on the bench. But
Speaker 1: big Man Street didn't like the score. Big Man liked
Speaker 1: the score man because Lelle actually is out there and
Speaker 1: he's his specialty. It seems like it's being when he
Speaker 1: pulls in the running game and he's leading the charge.
Speaker 1: It's nobody like that when you see him running down
Speaker 1: the field. So shout out to him for playing well too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Laoe Collins to me, man, he seems like a and
Speaker 1: you know this d mac playing against Washington back in
Speaker 1: the day, but he kind of reminds me of who
Speaker 1: was there. Was it Trick Williams was there big tackle
Speaker 1: for a while. He's on San Francisco right now. He
Speaker 1: seems like that guy when he's pulled around the corner.
Speaker 1: And I know for a fact because Terence Wip or
Speaker 1: whatever his name is. Williams put me on my back
Speaker 1: a couple of times out there at Washington. But Layelle,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's looking good pulling. He seems like he's
Speaker 1: he us his best work when it's evolved in the
Speaker 1: run game. And d Mac man, you think they was
Speaker 1: just throwing a couple of bread crumbs to steal over there,
Speaker 1: knowing he's about to get right back on the bench. Now. Listen,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think it was intentional, you know,
Speaker 1: just to give him something. But but the truth of
Speaker 1: the matter is if Tyra Smith comes back healthy and
Speaker 1: the way that Lao is playing now, especially if we're
Speaker 1: gonna focus on running the football, tarn still won't seem
Speaker 1: to feel forward for the Super Bowl run, which which
Speaker 1: is unfortunate. But you gave a Layoll a chance to
Speaker 1: continue to prove that he can play better. So now
Speaker 1: that spot is he is for sure, and Tyring is
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, Jerry loves him. He's gonna play well
Speaker 1: if he's out there and he's healthy. So you know, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: Tarry Steele might be taking that fullback position from who
Speaker 1: is a mcgovernor, but governor a t still at the
Speaker 1: little athletic out there, man got the little release off
Speaker 1: the line, so no shot shot out to Tarry Steel.
Speaker 1: I'm a Tarry Steal fan man, But but I gotta
Speaker 1: give Layo his problems. When when when we run the
Speaker 1: ball and you've seen us put him, we're gonna pull
Speaker 1: it all my guards tap, we pulled everybody, and that
Speaker 1: is when we were at our best. Name. When you
Speaker 1: when you get that convoy in front of Zeke and
Speaker 1: then he gets to punish them at the end like
Speaker 1: he did on that touchdown run. That's something that defenders
Speaker 1: do not want to see coming at them, especially with
Speaker 1: the new rule that the defensive backs and linebackers whatever,
Speaker 1: you cannot cut the offensive linement when they're pluming them
Speaker 1: like that. So that is just something you don't want
Speaker 1: to see coming insine. That's that's that's a crazy rule
Speaker 1: to me, Like I don't know how to expect defensive
Speaker 1: backs to get in on the plane like about to
Speaker 1: hit these big offensive linement up top. That's that's endangering
Speaker 1: our health. Like you know, I don't get it, but
Speaker 1: you know, that's the conversation for another day. No, no,
Speaker 1: hold on, because I got I do have a conversations.
Speaker 1: I'm watching I'm watching the broadcast yesterday and people are
Speaker 1: loving this. Like when the running backs get stopped right
Speaker 1: before the goal line, Now the offensive linement can hop
Speaker 1: behind them and they can go push them into the
Speaker 1: end zone. But then the defense and on the defense
Speaker 1: four partners to stop. But we didn't push the running
Speaker 1: back ten yards back, but they still get the ball
Speaker 1: wherever four progress will stop. That I think that is
Speaker 1: absolute gardens make it fair both ways. All right, I'm
Speaker 1: on my ram No, I'm gonna add on a little
Speaker 1: bit to that. They gotta make it fair both ways. Man,
Speaker 1: you're gonna open up the can now. I'm jumping all
Speaker 1: into it. Now. This ain't rugby. Like you can't. Like
Speaker 1: you just said, McCray, you can't have a scrum push
Speaker 1: the ball forward. But when the defenders do it, it's
Speaker 1: for a progress stock Because I'm gonna tell you what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen next. You're gonna see these little defenders, the DBS,
Speaker 1: all these players, they see the scrub going forward, they're
Speaker 1: gonna start knifing into that pile at knees and they're
Speaker 1: gonna start hitting these linemen at the knees to stop
Speaker 1: them for pushing it forward. And then we're gonna have
Speaker 1: a whole discussion on how that's not fair to the linement.
Speaker 1: You're gonna hurt the lineman. We're talking about health and
Speaker 1: protocols for the game. No, man, they just want the
Speaker 1: offense to be successful each in every season. I mean,
Speaker 1: they just make it. They might as well be seven
Speaker 1: on seven now. They might as well just let the
Speaker 1: quarterback go out there and pass it around and we'll
Speaker 1: play two hand touch. I mean, because it's it's getting
Speaker 1: ridiculous for defenders in the league nowadays. All Right, I'm done,
Speaker 1: I'm my soapbox. Get the ultimate fan experience for the

Speaker 1: Amari Cooper raised his voice and he was hit with
Speaker 1: eleven targets. He made seven catches for eighty five yards
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Going forward, should Amari Cooper have sent
Speaker 1: the message and Kelly Moore gets it now or does
Speaker 1: he have to reiterate this one more time? Because this
Speaker 1: is the Amari Cooper You're paying twenty million dollars for
Speaker 1: Danny Oh well, And but look, I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: have to reiterate it. I mean, I know this is
Speaker 1: you know the options, like all right, you know he
Speaker 1: told Kellen, he told everybody like, look, I need to
Speaker 1: get the ball. So I feel like they fed him
Speaker 1: in that game. But when we go into this next game,
Speaker 1: if the run game is popping or somebody else on
Speaker 1: the receive mc cors popping, then they're gonna feed those guys.
Speaker 1: And then eventually it's gonna cycle back over again to
Speaker 1: where Mark Kuper's gonna like, I'm not, you know, happy
Speaker 1: not getting the rock and all this other stuff. I
Speaker 1: fly I could do more damage that way, So I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have to keep going and making sure
Speaker 1: these guys know he's out there and he can go
Speaker 1: ahead and he can contribute to the team because he's
Speaker 1: he's a mild manner dude. He's not gonna go out
Speaker 1: there and again and cuss anybody out because they didn't
Speaker 1: give him a football. He's a team player and he
Speaker 1: does what's best for the team. But at that moment,
Speaker 1: he felt like him getting the football more would be
Speaker 1: best for the team. So I hope they keep that
Speaker 1: in mind, and I hope they keep feeding this guy. Y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all ought to stop playing with Coop. Yeah, team player
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff, The same stuff he's saying
Speaker 1: on the players, Linds Cooper was here and that savings
Speaker 1: next stuff and from everybody else in his ear as well,
Speaker 1: and it started to wear wear on him a little bit.
Speaker 1: And the thing is he was right though, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So so everybody should walk in and
Speaker 1: look at this and say, look, if we frustrated this guy,
Speaker 1: I would even kill the most team player of focus
Speaker 1: type guy enough for him to actually have to say something.
Speaker 1: And then when he did say it, we look like
Speaker 1: a totally different team. We should actually listen because what
Speaker 1: he said was corrected. He came out there and he
Speaker 1: made the plays when he had to, and it was
Speaker 1: a totally different type of Mark Cooper that we've seen,
Speaker 1: and that's the one that I want to see moving forward.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get another break in here when we
Speaker 1: come back. Let's dive into the special teams and the
Speaker 1: whole fact that the Cowboys are sitting here at the
Speaker 1: number two seed right now. How realistic is it they

Speaker 1: have you ever been on a football team where you
Speaker 1: saw the kind of fight happened that we saw between
Speaker 1: the Washington football team yesterday when Jonathan Allen and John
Speaker 1: Payne went at it, and Chris Collinsworth for some reason
Speaker 1: didn't look at the video correctly because he was trying
Speaker 1: to blame Alan for what happened for swinging. And when
Speaker 1: you put your hand on the dude's head like that,
Speaker 1: you're asking to get swung on. In my opin, yeah,
Speaker 1: you definitely ask him to get swung on, because that's
Speaker 1: a grown man right there. They ain't both grown men,
Speaker 1: and you don't treat other grown men like that like
Speaker 1: he didn't understandable deal the tensions were boiling. They're getting
Speaker 1: their bus kicked on national TV. But for my man
Speaker 1: to get up and just he just mustered with a
Speaker 1: finger right in the eyeball, it almost looked like the
Speaker 1: other guy island. He had no choice but to retaliate
Speaker 1: because if you let that slap on national team, you
Speaker 1: will never hear the end of it, whether it's in
Speaker 1: their locker room, other people's locker rooms, family members, boys
Speaker 1: gonna be hitting up because if that happened to youth Matt,
Speaker 1: you know, damn fail out to be calling your phone. Hey,
Speaker 1: I know you ain't let that dude just do that
Speaker 1: to you. So he had no choice but to swing
Speaker 1: at my man out there, and he's good he didn't
Speaker 1: connect because if he would have connect solid that, you know,
Speaker 1: there would have been some blood leaking out of somewhere
Speaker 1: because that was that's a big man throwing a heavy
Speaker 1: fist out there. But he wasn't rightful to do so.
Speaker 1: Pay should not have put his hands on him. And
Speaker 1: that's what happens because nobody on that NFL sidelines. I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody's afraid of anybody else, Like he don't
Speaker 1: care how big you. I've seen running backs fight lineman.
Speaker 1: I've seen wide receivers fight lineman as well. So it
Speaker 1: don't matter who you is. If you disrespect another man
Speaker 1: on the field like that or anywhere, you don't get
Speaker 1: the hands put to you. And that's exactly what happened. Yeah, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna to the church. Just take me back
Speaker 1: to Its not the same situation. But we that that
Speaker 1: guy great party on the squad. He came over and
Speaker 1: slapped the clipboard out of rich hand, and Richard's ready
Speaker 1: to get it in now, like like literally, nobody is
Speaker 1: scared of anyone, right because you gotta treat grown men
Speaker 1: with with with that type of respect, because we all
Speaker 1: we all go through the same type of stuff in
Speaker 1: the locker room. We we do the same training, we
Speaker 1: go through the same pains, the same age, the same wins,
Speaker 1: the same losses. You treat me with respect. I think
Speaker 1: he got exactly what he deserved. I'm glad he just
Speaker 1: grazed them, because that could have looked like one of
Speaker 1: that that Jake Paul versus a Whidley fighter. I just,
Speaker 1: I just I'm glad he did not get knocked out
Speaker 1: over there on that Washington bench because that would have
Speaker 1: been something that that we would have talked about for
Speaker 1: the next fifty years. So you don't do that. You
Speaker 1: got to show these dudes respect. I don't care if
Speaker 1: you are captain or not. These dudes are grown and
Speaker 1: and I hear that they didn't known each other way
Speaker 1: back since college, so so they got some type of relationships.
Speaker 1: So he knew, he knew what he was doing when
Speaker 1: he put it, put his hand in that dude face.
Speaker 1: He shouldn't expect to get swann. Yeah, as they had
Speaker 1: those important benches that they brought in there out definitely
Speaker 1: just just more embarrassment for that organization. And when the
Speaker 1: season started, so many people had picked Washington to repeat
Speaker 1: as division champions, and I said, no, I mean they
Speaker 1: won the division on seven with seven wins. This is
Speaker 1: just a bad organization. And I just didn't think it
Speaker 1: starts with the leadership at the top, with the owner.
Speaker 1: And to see what we saw yesterday just just kind
Speaker 1: of continues this is a bad, bad organization. Faded down
Speaker 1: the stretch here they got they got lucky with a
Speaker 1: couple of wins this year things went their way. Amy
Speaker 1: go back to that Giants game when Washington lined up
Speaker 1: for a field goal and they missed, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, here comes a fanom flag and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: the Giant's offensive linement was offside, defensive line was out,
Speaker 1: and they went ahead, kicked the field goal again. I mean,
Speaker 1: stuff like that had happened. And then they had that
Speaker 1: game where they beat Tampa Bay. You know, Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: went up there, slept walk and got beaten, and people
Speaker 1: were thinking, oh, this team is good. No, no, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna win with those quarterbacks out there. You're just
Speaker 1: not gonna win with them. Special teams unit. How about
Speaker 1: a block punt and Goldston recovers in the end zone.
Speaker 1: Clement gets it there. John Fossil with another outstanding special
Speaker 1: team's performance from his team. You guys are special teams.
Speaker 1: That's how you cut your cut your teeth and made
Speaker 1: the Cowboys just free agent here. What were your thoughts? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I listen. I thought it was amazing one one, because
Speaker 1: you give the special teams something to play for, right,
Speaker 1: these guys who are going to block punts and they
Speaker 1: know that they can actually get it done. Now, even
Speaker 1: though the technique was actually really really bad, he still
Speaker 1: got up there and he blocked the punt. So these
Speaker 1: guys feel like they're part of the game because most
Speaker 1: of the time when you watching, when you're watching it back,
Speaker 1: are you listening to commentators talk, They say, offense played well,
Speaker 1: deepons played this way, and they usually lead the Special
Speaker 1: teams out unless they go out there and they do
Speaker 1: something that is that is bad that cost him a game.
Speaker 1: Like we saw table on Austin made a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago. But now you see the Special Teams of
Speaker 1: the cow was being talked about in a positive light
Speaker 1: weekend and week out, Like, we love that. As a
Speaker 1: special teams unit, right, we want to feel like we're
Speaker 1: a part of the winds and if we lose, we
Speaker 1: want to feel like we're part of the losses. So
Speaker 1: John Fossils coach Fossil has them playing amazing, just like
Speaker 1: my man DQ. And I'm telling you it's just going
Speaker 1: through the building. DQ has brought a whole new attitude
Speaker 1: to all to all units. But yeah, shout out to
Speaker 1: the Special teams man. They are playing outstanding and that's
Speaker 1: what we're gonna leave it. We want to make a
Speaker 1: d run into the playoffs. Yeah, the Special Teams are
Speaker 1: playing awesome, and like you said, D mac dan quinn.
Speaker 1: He might be the best free agent pickup we had
Speaker 1: all season long. But to me, when you looked at
Speaker 1: that block punt, his technique, like you said, was down
Speaker 1: like terry. I mean, my man jumped straight into the air.
Speaker 1: I mean, nine times out of ten, you ain't gonna
Speaker 1: block a punt that way. But I don't know how
Speaker 1: he volleyball spiked that thing back into the counter. I mean,
Speaker 1: that was an amazing play. And for all wings out there,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about all the wings on the punt team,
Speaker 1: the guys on the edges, the very last dudes on
Speaker 1: the edge before you get to the personal protector. I
Speaker 1: played that position. Do not let the man get inside
Speaker 1: you and cross your piece like that's just the simple
Speaker 1: role for it. Like kickstep, kickstep, dude, that nad crosses
Speaker 1: your face, tackling because you know, nine times out of
Speaker 1: ten he gonna block the punt. Protect your inside, Make
Speaker 1: that dude go around the way to get to the punter.
Speaker 1: That was terrible, terrible technique by the wing, but a
Speaker 1: hell of a play by Clement. Out there. The cowboys,
Speaker 1: like you said, special teams are rolling right now. Fossil
Speaker 1: is doing this thing, and my boy gregged the leg.
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, he didn't miss one extra point
Speaker 1: out there yesterday, if I'm not mistaken. So hopefully he
Speaker 1: gets it going as well. But kudos to the special
Speaker 1: teams man. They're playing awesome as well. So Danny, how
Speaker 1: much should the Cowboys be thinking about trying to get
Speaker 1: the number one seed at this point in time? They've
Speaker 1: got games against Arizona Philadelphia laughed. That's the only thing
Speaker 1: they should be thinking about. That's the only thing they
Speaker 1: should look. First of all, Milt McCarthy coming from Green Bay,
Speaker 1: he knows that he doesn't want to go. He should know,
Speaker 1: like we don't need to go up there. If we
Speaker 1: have to get to the Super Bowl and have to
Speaker 1: go through lambeau Field order to get there, our history
Speaker 1: with Green Bay and being up in Green Brand, we
Speaker 1: should have PTSD from that. We should do everything we
Speaker 1: possibly can to not have to go anywhere. Right, we
Speaker 1: should be able to play all our games here at
Speaker 1: the Statedum because, like you said, Newie last night, when
Speaker 1: when the law makes that that incredible play, the crowd
Speaker 1: is going crazy. I remember when I played here, we
Speaker 1: had a game where we were like asking the fans
Speaker 1: to show up and be a super round. You don't
Speaker 1: have to do that anymore. This is what This is
Speaker 1: one of those environments now where you say we have
Speaker 1: a whole field advantage, right, So I think we should
Speaker 1: do everything we can to keep our games here in Dallas,
Speaker 1: Texas well. We want to be technical. I think they
Speaker 1: should get that number one seed. The only thing with me,
Speaker 1: a looking that concerns me is that Mott break you
Speaker 1: get once the season's done. It's like another bye weekend.
Speaker 1: We had it in twenty sixteen to where we were
Speaker 1: rolling in thirteen and three going into the final game
Speaker 1: of the regular season up in Philly. I think we
Speaker 1: beat them, and then we had that break. We had
Speaker 1: that week off before the divisional round playoff, and when
Speaker 1: we showed up, we showed up sluggish and didn't start fast,
Speaker 1: and as y'all know the rest of the story, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers tore us up and we ended up losing that game.
Speaker 1: So I saw my only concern. But once again, that
Speaker 1: team was in twenty sixteen and it was led by
Speaker 1: Dak and Zeke and all that. But they were rookies
Speaker 1: at the time. So now they're established veterans, so maybe
Speaker 1: they can further understand how to how to handle that
Speaker 1: bye week situation. But if it's up to me, I
Speaker 1: like to do it the wild card through I just
Speaker 1: had the most success Rogers went straight from playing regular
Speaker 1: season to playoffs. I kind of like that approach to it.
Speaker 1: All Right, Church, here's where I'll fight you back, and
Speaker 1: I'll just simply say this, this is a different coaching staff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true too. Mike McCarthy has gone to a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: He also had a fifteen and one team in which
Speaker 1: they had a bye week and then the next week
Speaker 1: they got put out of the playoffs. So I think
Speaker 1: Mike's got that experience now that he'll know exactly how
Speaker 1: to handle this. I gotta give him credit on that.
Speaker 1: And then you got Dan Quinn who's also been to
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl as a head coach. So I think
Speaker 1: they've got a coaching staff and will know how to
Speaker 1: handle this thing correctly. I hope, So, I hope. So
Speaker 1: go ahead, you know, And like you said, Church, I
Speaker 1: think I think they have they have the right players.
Speaker 1: I think you got the d Laws, you got the
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, you got you got the secondary, when you
Speaker 1: got Curse, you got Deak you got Zeke, you got Coop.
Speaker 1: You have leaders all over all over the team who
Speaker 1: are gonna make sure that they come out and they
Speaker 1: play the right way, because this is like a once
Speaker 1: in a lifetime chance, especially if you're a Dallas Cowboys fan,
Speaker 1: right Like, you don't get the opportunity to watch this
Speaker 1: type of team be able to go into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: possibly getting them bye week in order to get them
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. So I'm sure they're gonna keep
Speaker 1: nail that in their head, like we got to maximize
Speaker 1: this opportunity, don't let this slip away. Yeah, I give
Speaker 1: what y'all saying. I mean, I definitely feel the different
Speaker 1: coaching staff, a different approach to it, and with that
Speaker 1: extra bye week, we could get you know, some guys
Speaker 1: that are banged up, maybe Tyn Smith gets another week
Speaker 1: to rest, or whatever the case may be. I just
Speaker 1: hope that that momentum doesn't dissipate because we've seen when
Speaker 1: when you know it wasn't it was because of injury.
Speaker 1: But when Dak was off for that game, I think
Speaker 1: game or two, one or two. I think he missed
Speaker 1: me in the one game or two games. But whatever
Speaker 1: the case may be, they came back, that offense was
Speaker 1: staggnant for the next six weeks. So to me, I
Speaker 1: just want to keep that momentum going. But I understand
Speaker 1: where y'all coming from getting extra rest different coaches that
Speaker 1: it could be beneficial for this team. Hey, look, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm just gonna say this right now and write
Speaker 1: it down here. I think the Cowboys will end up
Speaker 1: with the number two seed. But I also would not
Speaker 1: be surprised if the Cowboys are hosting the NFC Championship.
Speaker 1: We talked so much about Green Bay and Green Base
Speaker 1: had an excellent run the last two years. It's hard
Speaker 1: to make it to the championship game three years in
Speaker 1: a row. It's a hard thing to do. We've seen
Speaker 1: Kansas City do it, but the odds tell you it's
Speaker 1: just not gonna happen. I mean, it's just very, very
Speaker 1: hard to keep doing that. So Cowboys could end up
Speaker 1: hosting championship game if they just do their part as
Speaker 1: a number two Sea just do your part, and didn't
Speaker 1: you see where you go? We're running out of time here.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that Danny has your ability
Speaker 1: time to talk about Joe Burrow. Oh where the same
Speaker 1: time next big old Ella, gi me the same time
Speaker 1: next week. Listen, listen, let me tell you something. Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow felt the disrespect of being snub from the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's over here being listen starter, like, what are
Speaker 1: we talking about? Joe Burrow goes out, he says, hold
Speaker 1: my bed. All right, y'all think this dude is better
Speaker 1: than me. I'm going out of five hundred listen to
Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty five yards of passing on these
Speaker 1: dudes with four touchdowns. I don't want to hear nothing
Speaker 1: about it, right because Justin Herbert had a chance to
Speaker 1: go out maybe the same thing, and just the Texas
Speaker 1: who are the same position as a Washington football team,
Speaker 1: and they go out there and lose, they might even
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs. Meanwhile, Joe Burrow has this is
Speaker 1: what seed Newey the number one seed in his division?
Speaker 1: What are we talking about? I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: anything else about Justin Herbert. It's the Joe Burrow Show,
Speaker 1: and they are rolling, They're gonna be in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert gonna be sitting at home waiting to
Speaker 1: go to the Pro Bowl. But we alway had the
Speaker 1: man had he had a stellar week. I get you
Speaker 1: that he had a stellar performance against a team that's
Speaker 1: probably more depleted than the Washington Redskins. Look I'm doing
Speaker 1: or Washington football team. I'm sorry, I'm done with this man.
Speaker 1: I can't believe y'all to the whole end of the
Speaker 1: statement on Joe Burrow Man and then you expect Herbert
Speaker 1: by telling the text the starter on the Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: roster detects like that the Texans are missing just as
Speaker 1: many players as the Washington football team and the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 1: They didn't have anybody. Yeah, he had eight before? Well
Speaker 1: one week, who's been better? The whole time? You see
Speaker 1: one week? Who had a place? Search? Wow, I just
Speaker 1: want to know who's been better? First place? Can better? Church? Church?
Speaker 1: Take that? Just take the l for the week. Ain't
Speaker 1: nobody listening to you. You over there on the fence
Speaker 1: so where we're Sweden, I ain't try to hear that
Speaker 1: about what you got to say? Who who's better? Statistically?
Speaker 1: So far this season, Joe Burrow is in first place
Speaker 1: in his division on the way. I know I said
Speaker 1: I said that, Joe Burrow. I've been telling you all
Speaker 1: the season that Joe Burrow is better than Justin Herbert,
Speaker 1: I believe. And he should also still be in the
Speaker 1: running for a comeback Play of the Year. And Joe
Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert can gonna take that promo, fan vote
Speaker 1: and all the other stuff with him. While Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: is getting ready to go to the playoffs, we're trying
Speaker 1: to make a deep run. We're gonna see We're gonna
Speaker 1: see you man. That is that is our time here
Speaker 1: for the players. I can't believe you do york In
Speaker 1: cow I can't believe you'll do it again Tomorrow, twelve
