No, no, don't. 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:47.840 I don't know. 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.760 I don't know about their time. But anyway, Church, I'm 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:53.120 glad you maated g I merely Louis Scruggs Show brought 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:58.160 to you by toast to Dak Prescott getting praise from 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.160 Aaron Rodgers on who do did his Pat McAfee hit. 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.200 He said, Dak's playing the position good. Says he takes 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.720 a lot of because he's a Dallas Cowboys quarterback, but 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.600 he says he's really impressive. Likes the way he's using 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.760 the cadence with the here we go and say he's 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.799 playing playing really good football. 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:18.079 And I thought that was you know on ESPN. 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:19.960 I mean, how rare is that to hear somebody get 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.839 up there and actually have good things to say about 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:23.880 Dak Prescott And of course he didn't come from anybody 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.360 works for the company, comes to somebody who's employee in. 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:30.040 National Football League courtesy of the New York Jets. Thoughts 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:30.880 on that I don't know. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:35.040 Listen, shout out to Aaron Rodgers for realizing that Mike 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.960 McCarthy has put his fingerprints all over this Dallas Cowboys 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.120 offense and it's starting to look the way that it 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.640 did in Green Bay when they I'm not gonna say that, 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.880 I'm not gonna say the word, but ceedee lamb. And 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.520 the connection that they have is similar to what Aaron 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.440 Rodgers has had with his receivers when they've been in 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.600 Green Bay. And Aaron Rodgers sees that, So shout out 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:53.960 to him, give him some credit. Also, want to get 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.919 some shout out to grind Clark because he he give 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.200 Dak Prescott some prise to you. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:58.639 He's unless you gout. You know what I'm saying. He 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:00.360 know how how to when he. 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:06.200 Gets despite that club, not the club? 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:07.400 What club is that? 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:14.040 I don't know that club? Okay, yeah, well they don't 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:18.760 have the same founders day. Okay, is that what it is? Okay? Look, man, 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.919 the compliments and the hate you know, few and far 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.080 for Dak, and you know it's about time that he 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.800 got some compliments from his peers based off of the 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.200 kind of season that he's having. I think one it 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.680 was the turnovers. You know, people always know that Dak 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.520 cauld throw the ball, He's gonna the yards are gonna 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.880 be there. But once he started to turn the ball off, 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:40.280 that was his stick, that was. 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.120 Who he was, had turnover machine. 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.800 They didn't even go back to even thinking about what 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.600 he did previous in his career. But coming from a 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.320 guy like Aaron, I think that's high praise, and I 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.840 think even taking it a step further, was talking about 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.320 that here we go and how unique that is in 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.640 the league, how they've been working on that in the cadence, 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.680 and just you guys know, I mean just that the 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.680 nuances of the game, just playing the game, and Dak 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.520 is playing it at a high level. He talked about 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.280 more than just that, bringing the tight end back in 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.080 on zero covers, things like that, and just understanding it. 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.000 Being just a student of the game the way that 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.520 he is. Everybody that does that, they know that Dak 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.279 is playing at a high level. Nah, I'm with all 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:17.960 y'all on this one, and I gotta go with you 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:18.159 on this. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:18.520 Danny. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.279 When you talk about, you know, McCarthy's fingerprints on what 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:22.880 Dak has been able to do this year. I mean, 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.800 if you look at it to turnovers a way down 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.640 these past four or five games. I mean, he's telling what, 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.960 twenty touchdowns only maybe three or four interceptions. Twenty three 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.000 touchdowns or four or three interceptions out there, So he's 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.520 taking care of the football. You don't see him compounding 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.720 issues like we did last year, like trying to force 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.600 things in there to double on triple coverage. 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.159 If it's not open down there, he's. 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.960 Chucking the ball down to Tony Pollard or one of 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:44.800 these tight ends out there, and they're able to get it, 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.599 get it going that way. You see him using his 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.240 legs a lot more often with this offense. So look, 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.680 they're offensively right now. They're hitting on all cylinders. But 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.800 you gotta be careful about this praise, man, because they 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.479 will build you up just to tear you down. 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.440 So I'm I'm not trying to hear any of that 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.760 noise about. You know, he's having a hell of a year. 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.400 He's gonna lead this team, that, this, that, and the third. 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:07.919 Just keep doing what you've been doing, keep that circle 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.800 tight with McCarthy and these teammates, and you know, let 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.520 the place speak for itself, because they will build you 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.359 a quick and then as soon as something bad happening, 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.040 like let's just go out there in Philadelphia. Let's say 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:17.880 he doesn't have a great game, man, they will chop 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.680 you down like a tree quickness, with a quickness. 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.960 I got two things, Okay, First thing is I think 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:27.000 Dak not feeling comfortable using his legs over the last 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.400 couple of years played a huge part into while he 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.599 was throwing some turnovers, not not being able to extend 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.240 players like he used to, having to make different reads 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.600 without being able to extend those plays. I think that's 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.560 been a big thing. And I think that yes, that 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.400 does get a lot of hate. He get a lot 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.920 of hate. But that got a lot of hate when 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.080 he threw out those interceptions because that is something that 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.120 you don't usually see from a guy like Dak. And 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.159 then it starts to make you wonder, like what's going 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.760 on because that is something that you just you don't see. 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.719 Dak has been a guy who takes care of the football, 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.159 right then they talk about Josh. Josh Allen is a 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.800 guy who always turns the ball over So it is 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.599 not surprising. It's no shock at all when John's Allen 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:06.880 goes out there and has two interceptions in the game, 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:08.839 because everybody's like, we knew he was gonna give it 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.600 to us, all right, when it's Dak Prescott, Right, when 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.360 it is Dak Prescott going out there, and you're like, wait, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.240 something's off. He's not having a good day because we 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.560 know this is not what we usually expect from Dak Prescott. 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.360 So it's more of a shock of like, man, it 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.039 must be must be something going on over there, because 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.080 this ain't what we usually see from Dak Prescott. You're 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.720 being very fair about that, you know, you're being very 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.760 fair about that assessment between and I think people want 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.080 to call the Josh Allen out on his interceptions, the 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.960 way he played versus the way that the media criticizes Dak. 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.240 I think on the other side, for Josh Allen, it's 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.560 just that he meets all the schematics on what you 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.719 think a quarterback here, a big strong arm, and yeah 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:47.200 he kind. 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:48.919 Of mobile too. He could do it all. 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.200 But then I think those tendencies Latin games call it 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.520 a brain forward. Whatever it is, he's gonna give the 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.960 ball up, But he doesn't get racked over the coles 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.840 the same way that Dak does. And you just made 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.280 the one about him early in his career taking care 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.200 of the ball, and josh Ain't never done that, And 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.839 he doesn't face the same criticism if people don't talk 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.520 about him in the same breath even as some of 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:11.239 these other. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.320 Quote unquote elite quarterbacks. 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.960 So look, it's gonna be interesting coming down to the 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.560 end of this season how he how he compares to 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.120 those guys, because right now he's playing the best football 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:22.800 I've seen him playing. 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.760 In your opinion, does he need to do it against 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.760 a better competition like throwing that out? 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.520 Absolutely, This is what Dak said yesterday. Quote what I 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.760 say to myself is as I haven't done you know 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.160 what I mean. It's regular season numbers and are great. 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.680 We're getting wins, that's what's most important. But at the 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.640 end of the day, we're trying to stack and keep 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.600 growing this team. So he's not what you talked about 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.960 there he said yesterday. You know, he's basically he's not 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.400 buying into what's being said. He knows what the mission 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.320 is and Clarence Hills set it on the media match 0:07:59.320 --> 0:07:59.920 several times. 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.720 We know these guys are going to get judged playoff time. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.760 Where else should you be judged? Then that's it. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.360 I mean, because we've seen Dak Prescott in the Dallas 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:13.400 Cowboys here stack up big time of regular season's twelve 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.320 wins here, twelve wins that we've seen it happen, and 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.760 we know that the mission here and the goal is 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.360 to get to the NFC Championship possibly super Bowl. Right, 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.320 So if you don't, you're looking at that. As a player, 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.080 you're saying, Okay, our season was, we had some success, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:27.280 but it's not where we want to be. 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.440 But I do think you get judged in both places. 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.160 I mean, you know, first off, if you don't have 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:35.040 a good regular season, that's thank you. So I do 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.760 think that's that's a fair judgment to look at what 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.200 you're doing in the regular season to make sure you 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:40.319 put your team in that position. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:41.920 For years that was. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.080 I mean, people act like we forgot the first seven 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.040 years of Peyton man. I mean, dude, the struggle bus 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.160 in the playoffs. But you roll out these thirteen and 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.880 three seasons going the first round getting bounced on the rag. 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.960 So and you look at Peyton's. 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.920 Overall playoff record ain't good. 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.360 I mean, you think about Peyton's last football game, two 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:00.280 Bowl fifty. 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:01.679 The defense won that game. 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:06.200 Yeah, it don't make me go get old footage every 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.960 time that we lose in the playoffs. Your conversations that 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.600 you be having now he over talking about it now 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.560 the regular season. He's like, what, we know they're gonna 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.280 win twelve games. You know they're gonna make the playoffs. 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.760 That is a thing that has been that that's consistent. Okay, 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.920 that's consistently they've been talking about firing guys who make 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.200 the playoffs. We had all these conversations over the last 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.160 couple of years, and I knew we were talking about Yeah. 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.400 Come on, man, you ain't. 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:27.840 I know. 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.120 I'm not letting you have that because because we were 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:31.120 all on this show together. 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.000 No, I'm just saying it, Matt to you discounted it. 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:35.199 What Heckman and I are saying. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.800 He discounted it. He said it's regular season. You read it. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.160 He said regular season. 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.040 But I'm but I'm also saying that the regular season 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.400 does have some merit and matter. Now we know cowboys, 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.880 the Cowboys, you know, the win fan in the playoffs. 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.240 But you have to play well in the regular season 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.959 to get yourself there, and then you look at last 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.960 year's regular season threw all those interceptions. Okay, so he's 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.160 improved this year. He's done his part. It's a totality. 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.400 Maybe that's why I'm not saying it's a whole. We 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:05.880 all look at the whole totality, but I know where 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.760 the ultimately It's like in the NBA playoffs for years, 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:10.480 le Brian, you can't win it. You know, That's what 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:11.959 it looked at For Michael Jordan, it was like, you 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:13.640 know what mean doing all his scoring, you can't win. 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.280 So I get that part of it. But what he's done. 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.959 We asked him all of us who you got to 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.520 cut down on the picks? And right now he's twenty 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.040 three touchdowns six interceptions. That I look at Josh Allen, 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.960 who is leading the league in terms of touchdown pass 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:31.640 He's got twenty four touchdown twelve thirteen thirteen picks including bumble. 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:33.880 Two years in the road though, like he's right behind 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:34.600 that last year. 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.920 Maybe tired. I'm like that, that's who he is though, 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.400 So like I don't just rick him over the cols 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.080 every week. Every time you see him throw too, And 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.760 I'm tired of talking about Josh Allen Thorn. And you know, 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.840 as a defensive player, when you go out there and 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.200 you play the Buffalo. 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.200 Bills, that it is time to eat right. I'm going 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:51.959 to try to pass it. 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.520 As good as he is, you know that there's going 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.080 to be an opportunity for you to go out there 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:57.800 and get a turnover off for me. That is not 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.040 the case with Dak Prescott usually year was that he was. 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:01.840 That was the case. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.920 If you think about that. 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.640 There's a lot of guys over there, like, hey, put 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:08.920 me on whoever he throwing the balls? 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.920 I ain't old y'ardough. Would you rather go against? 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.199 If you're a defender, you're a defense would you rather 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.280 try to defend Dak or Josh Allen? 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.000 Dak? You rather try to defend that? 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.720 Yet, Dak or Josh as a defender? 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.760 Like, who's rather as a defender? As a defensive coordinator? 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.800 I brother brother Josh Allen as a defender. If I'm 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.080 a guy out there on the field, Josh Allen is 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:32.800 a dude, I'm. 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:34.800 Like man looking at it, like man, hold up, I 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:35.440 got run. 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.360 I gotta bring my shoulder pass with That's what I'm 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.360 saying he brings a whole nother dimension. And look, I'm 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.520 not I'm not into this bashion of Josh Allen. I 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.360 know what kind of arm talent that he has. Just 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.640 the fact that he's what you say, he's a turnover. 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:51.839 She is. That's the thing, that's the that's the gift 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.679 in the curse with him. But come on, let's just 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.640 let's let's be real about this man. When we talk 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.800 about the Dallas Cowboys right now, we're not even getting 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.560 credit for being eight and three because to the teams 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.280 that we beat, we're beating nobody's so allegedly, and so 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.560 until we get to go against those teams with winning records, 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.160 and it's Seattle one of those teams. Okay, one of 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.280 those teams. So when you pull out a victory versus Seattle, 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.079 that's one for you, you know, for your belt. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:16.040 You can notch that up. 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.760 And then we know coming on coming after that, that's 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.439 the big showdown that everybody's looking for. So I think 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.720 that just already knows that he knows what you guys 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.000 have already talked talked about. 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:25.640 You were at a star. 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.679 You're not gonna get into credit and you're gonna get 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.560 all the blame. So for him and even this MVP 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.960 talk man put that to a big win MVP of 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.240 the Super Bowl, Dak, then. 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:36.400 Look at you. Let's do that, you know what I 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:37.280 So let's do that. 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.400 It sounds like he forgot about the San Francisco game, 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.520 which he should not. All right, there, you have motivation 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.199 to continue to get better because you have not arrived yet. 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.080 And Dak Prescott has always been a leader like that. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.360 I'm like, man, I know we ended issues, Okay, we 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.840 know when when it comes time, like the game that 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.800 really matters, that's what we have to show up at. 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:56.880 We've been showing up against these teams and doing exactly 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.680 what we're supposed to do. But when we get in 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.800 that competition with the Eagles, forty nine Ers, the Lions 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.040 later in the season of Seattle, Seattle Miami, those are 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.560 the opportunities. When you go into that game and you 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.920 come out with those type of stats. That's where everybody's 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.120 sitting there saying, you know what. 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.440 Yeah, because you weren't not playing with the league like 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.640 in those games you might have and then in Miami 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:17.400 it might be a shootout. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:18.560 Like you look, that's a lot. 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.280 Of speed on that side when you talk about Miami 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.599 and then even in this game, this to me is 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.120 gonna be the best defense they've played all year except 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:26.000 for San Francisco. 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.719 When you look at Siatle on all three levels. I'm 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:29.520 talking about the d Lion. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.640 Leonard Williams coming in there from the Giants helps that 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.240 interior to second level get a Hall of Famer, and 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.920 Wagner Brooks is a beast. And in the secondary, which 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.000 I think is a strength, you got three willand you 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:40.880 got all these This is gonna be a heck of 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.079 a challenge for Dallas Cowboys, you know, offensively, because I 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.240 feel like three Willing matches up with Ceedee Lamb like this, 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.920 I mean, long you run. This is gonna be a 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:51.480 tough matchup, and I think it's the second best they've 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:52.960 played since San Francisco. 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.200 Then, the thing that scares me really about Seattle's they 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.679 are a team that mimics their head coach. I mean 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.400 old school guy. That mean they got an old school 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.680 flair abottom. They play tough, you know what they're gonna bring, 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.439 and they're not ever out completely out of a game. 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.120 They're just gonna continue to battle. But man, this is 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.040 a This is a good test. You know, this is 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.959 a good test. And I think that's why Philadelphia is 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.040 so intriguing because the last what four weeks, they've been 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.840 playing halftime, they've been behind and they've had to pull 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.280 out victories. And that's what you want to see from 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.040 the Cowboys. That's what you want to see from Dak. 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.120 Can't he lead them from behind to get the win? 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:29.680 See, Ile's got three good receivers to absolutely they loaded. 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:31.800 It's good. Look they're. 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.040 It's not easy. I'll say it again, a second week 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.720 in a row. While I didn't think Washington would be easy, 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.200 it was easy. But Seattle is here comes at six 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.480 and five, team, here comes a team winning record. So 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.440 let's see. Let's see what the Cowboys do at home. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:46.480 They're very good at all. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:52.000 It's a twelve straight, thirteen straight. It's very good at 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:53.160 at and T Stadium. 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.120 And Mike McCarthy went out of his way after the 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.640 Thanksgiving their game and praise the fans and the energy 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:58.320 they brought here. 0:14:58.680 --> 0:14:59.560 So this is. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.320 Gonna be diff because you know, it's not a holiday, 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.640 it's Thursday. Folks going to get off work and get 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.880 on down there and and and fill up phill up 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:07.280 the stadium. So I don't know if it will be 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.040 an l a type crowd where people coming in a 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:09.720 little late, but. 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.120 They taking off Friday. If you go to the games, 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.080 you're taking off taking off. I've never heard it like this, 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:16.680 Like you you've been to a game this year. 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:18.040 I have not been. 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.960 It's never been as loud as it's been this year 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.480 in that stadium. And we played here for years and 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.000 every time we came in here it was kind of 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:26.520 you know, it was it was cool, but it wasn't 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.320 like you know, people was walking around in stilettos and 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.560 like it was the club and everybody was, yeah it. 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.880 Was That's how it was with you. That's how it was. 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.560 Now you got you know, fansving that white flag. 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.120 I mean it's it's a loud stadium now compared to 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.000 what it was when when I was playing. 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.520 You know it was when when it was it was 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:45.320 a place to be seen. 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.560 So when the lights so when American Airlines Center first 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.200 came out, that was a place to be seen. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:51.720 That was like that was it, like you want to 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:52.960 be seeing them Sunday. 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.680 So that playoff year wasn't loud like that, not like 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:58.640 years when you was here. 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.520 It wasn't even in that home. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.560 Game for the playoffs, and fourteen we played Detroit, it 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.520 was nowhere near as loud as it is. Man, wait 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.920 a minute now, twenty sixteen, when y'all came back, When 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.720 y'all came back, man that I hadn't heard a T 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:12.880 and T stadium that loud when y'all, I mean the 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.160 first half, y'all to give us no reason screens. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.520 When that second half once it got tied up, I mean, 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:23.400 everybody woke up. 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.600 But you're right, man, it's they're getting a home field advantage. 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.720 And I think just the Dallas Cowboys fans know that 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.000 we need a home field advantage for so long. Man, 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.160 at and T is like a tourist spot. You know, 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.840 if it's somebody we're not even interested in seeing other 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.880 teams get the tickets and you show up, it's like 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.240 dance more than here than it is us. Now, teams, 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.320 now we're starting to understand. Look, we have to give 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.880 our team that home field advantage, and it would be 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:48.800 horrible if we didn't get. 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.160 A home About the playoff game versus the Niners two 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.280 years ago, here, I mean, I was it was a 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:53.880 sea a red. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.360 And then when Pittsburgh came to town, you've seen terrible 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:57.320 towels all over the place. 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.960 Different Now it's no law under the tourist spot because 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:02.480 it's changed. 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:03.680 The tourist spot's changed. 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.120 It's Vegas that's the tourist spot. That's the tourist spot. 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.040 Now where you look on the schedule. Hey, let's go 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.520 get that game. Because I remember when at and T first, 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.320 when the back when the Cowboys say we first came out. 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.359 I have friends like if we come in, we coming 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.320 and that was a win.

I'll be going that whole week passport. 0:20:59.400 --> 0:20:59.600 Yeah. 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:18.119 Christmas roll, okay, I won't Sunday Christmas Plays Lounge runting 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:19.600 by Tostito's Danny mcraye. 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.360 Heck Maharrison Berry Church, I am merely knew he Scruggs. 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:27.480 So Shaq Leonard was in the building today. The former 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:32.920 Indianapolis colt, now free agent, is a meeting with the Cowboys, 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:38.000 has a meeting schedule with Philadelphia. Mike McCarthy went asked 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:39.800 during the noon hour of his press conference that there 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.960 was nothing to report. Jerry Jones said he was going 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:45.840 to have lunch with Leonard today, and that's always a 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.199 good sign when when Jerry sits down chats with you. 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:51.640 So you got that going on there. But he's come, 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.520 he's gone. Dan Quayn apparently wants to have him on 0:21:54.600 --> 0:22:00.719 the defense. And if you shack Leonard, look at Cowboys 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:06.800 linebacker spot, you can see yourself getting some playing town. 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:08.480 A lot, a lot of play. 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:10.600 And it ain't it ain't like he's gonna have to 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.240 be in my opinion, least, he adn't gonna have to 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:13.399 be a three down linebacker. 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:14.240 He can be that. 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:16.000 He can be that, but I don't think he has 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:18.119 to be especially with the player of Marque's bell. You 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:21.040 throw him in there on third downs passing situations, he 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.320 can guard those tight ends running back, So I think 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.080 you know you're saving his body as far as Marky's 0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:26.840 belt in the box. 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:27.480 But then you got a. 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.840 Guy like Shaq Leonard that can come in there. He 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:31.720 can play the run. He's all pro for a reason. 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:33.280 He could play the run. He can play all that 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:35.480 good stuff. So to me, I don't see why not. 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.080 You know, if he's healthy and everything's you know. I 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:40.120 don't know is that he had a contract with him 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.760 or he once you clear waivers, you can, man, why 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:44.760 not bring him on in? 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:48.080 Yeah? Deal? Ja, Yeah, I feel the same. I think. 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:50.840 I think when we were talking about the trade deadline, 0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:53.920 I was talking about defensive line and Church mentioned linebackers, 0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:56.000 and you didn't have an opportunity to go get one. 0:22:56.280 --> 0:22:58.520 You got an opportunity right now to get a guy 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.480 seems like pretty and then he will also have the 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:05.200 opportunity to step in because LV is not coming back, 0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:08.960 Marquis Bell is playing well. But you still know that 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.639 when you get into these games with these physical teams, 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:13.760 they are going to try to run the ball on you, 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:15.800 and it would not hurt you to have a guy 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:19.720 who is a proven player, run stopper to be in there. 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:20.399 On your defense. 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:22.800 And if dan Quinn is vouching for him and says 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:24.760 he wants them, then you know, I'm all in on him. 0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:27.000 It is, you know, my only take on this. And 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.640 you guys talked about his physical abilities and what he's done. 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:32.080 He's twenty eight years old, he's a guy that's known 0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:34.600 to stop the run. But I'm gonna say this, guys, 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:36.280 I don't want him to use us as a bargaining 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:38.439 chip on down the road. You know, if you go, 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.359 if you're gonna, you came here, you visit, stay, you 0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:43.240 know where you want to go. And it's a business. 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:46.439 It's a business, and I respect the business aspect of it. 0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:49.840 But on the flip side, I know that he's gonna bargain. 0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:53.399 He's gonna highest bidder, you know, And don't use us 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:55.680 against somebody else, like look, man, you know you want 0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:55.959 to be here. 0:23:56.040 --> 0:24:05.360 Come on, it's a business. But forget the Jerry took 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:08.240 me to lunch. What you gonta do? Is that what 0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:09.000 to sound like? 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:14.200 I'm sorry, forget the business man. 0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:16.399 Take that man now stands to the Cowboy club. 0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:23.000 Get it right, man, don't do this like Odell even 0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:23.360 out here. 0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:25.960 So don't even that didn't happen, like did you go 0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:32.879 to a Mavericks game the night they will be remember 0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:34.080 he did that mass man. 0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:35.800 They had a whole bunch of need following like I 0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:42.160 didn't go in the old situation like Calva Walkers Clarens 0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:45.760 and then the old dude running around there. 0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:48.479 With the video what do you think? How is it? 0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:51.760 And your boy was, you know, drinking it all up, 0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:54.560 like you don't want this, you don't want this year. 0:24:57.040 --> 0:25:01.159 Man's celebrity. You want to celebrity game Brown, take it up. 0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:03.639 You're covering the own one and hold on talking about it. 0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:07.520 He wasn't worth the circus, okay he was. No, I've 0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:09.560 been through it with the player. Okay, he wasn't even 0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.360 the player. The player, the player actually. 0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:15.680 Produced the guy. Yeah you know the guy. I Knowdell. 0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:17.720 He ain't worth eighteen million right now. But the boy 0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:19.560 looked good. It looks like he's on his way back. 0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:28.520 So I gart Jared right, he should know. He was 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:33.280 tripling now. Garrett was tripping on if you read social 0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:37.600 a lot, ye don't get him started, bro, Yeah. 0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:41.119 You got. 0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:49.840 Come on, can agitated to take He's a trigger man. 0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:54.000 They followed Odell around with you're still all right right now, I. 0:25:53.960 --> 0:26:06.120 Ain't blowing nothing up yet, so. 0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:06.040 You know what up? Yes, y'all, So shack Leonard Man. 0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:07.520 It's just one of those It's one of those guys 0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:09.840 that we talked about before the season that that was 0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:12.280 the question mark over the lineback and coreps. But I 0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:15.919 think Damon Clark and now with Rashaan Evans, you're seeing 0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.199 the linebacker group start to play so much better. And 0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.840 also with Marquis Bell. But y'all keep on it out. 0:26:20.880 --> 0:26:23.240 I mean, y'all keep recycling the same thing like Heyo, 0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:26.240 they picking on fourteen because you say they finding them, 0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:30.280 And I think with that dimension of bringing in Leonard, 0:26:30.600 --> 0:26:33.680 he changes all of that because then that rotation includes 0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.280 a guy that can step up, especially versus the forty 0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:38.159 nine ers in the way that they run scheme. 0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:40.919 Was until you were bringing them for boom, you got. 0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:44.560 To Yeah, the ten, twelve and twenty one person there, 0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:47.360 like Markus Bell, is not gonna go to the bench 0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:48.840 or anything like that. He still gonna get a lot 0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:51.119 of playing time. It's just there are certain instances in 0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:53.560 the game where you need some heavy hitters to come 0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:55.960 in there with a little weight on them because them 0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:58.640 offensive tackles. They seem to be getting off a little bit. 0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:03.879 So you need a guy who can get in there. Shocking, shocking, shocking. 0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:08.480 Extend shout out to Mistical thirty two. 0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:10.840 Hey, I know y'all see this dude on social media, 0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:12.640 the mistical thirty dude who he fund? 0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:18.480 Did?

Brought to you by Tostitos, Danny Kray, 0:30:44.520 --> 0:30:47.239 Heck Maharrison, Burry Church. I knew he Scruggs. All right, 0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:50.880 cow Eagles face the Niners. Niners can do the Cowboys 0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:54.000 a favor by winning. Vegas has the forty nine Ers 0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:57.120 as a three point favorite at the Link this. 0:30:57.120 --> 0:31:00.600 Week, and that's surprising. Usually the home team and get 0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:02.960 the three points. It's a ten to one team. 0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:06.400 I mean, forty nine ers they good, they real good. 0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:09.480 But eight and three, man, they came back, they came 0:31:09.520 --> 0:31:10.000 back healthy. 0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:11.840 I think it's a little difficult just because how the 0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:15.280 Eagles have been playing in the first half. Eventually they 0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:17.800 gonna get yeah, yeah, So eventually they gonna get got. 0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:19.880 I think it's gonna be a hell of a game. 0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:21.080 I'm sure that was. 0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:24.440 A hard one to pick because it probably was man 0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:27.520 and just having to watch study up on Seattle and 0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:30.680 watching them versus forty nineer system, it's the nightmare relive, 0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:34.120 bro It's just reliving the trauma all over again. 0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:38.920 It's that run system like all this stuff. 0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:45.200 It confuses, the confuses Debo Deebo's back running and then 0:31:46.080 --> 0:31:47.680 and then all of a sudden, brock Purty can have 0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:50.760 a four touchdown game, not like Sam Howard where it 0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:53.000 could just the bottom fall out, but all of a sudden, 0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:54.480 brock Perty can get in there look. 0:31:54.360 --> 0:31:54.760 Like a guy. 0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:57.160 So is he not an MVP conversation because yeah, he 0:31:57.200 --> 0:31:59.200 had a couple of weeks where you was like you 0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:01.720 got found out throwing them big routes. He's still he 0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:03.440 still can, he still can make a push for it, 0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:07.000 and I think it's not over with. And especially versus Philadelphia, 0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:08.560 that secondary is worn out. 0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:10.520 Bro you can talking about it. Yeah, it's you know, 0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:14.520 see Dustyle he was handling. 0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:16.920 Yeah, he was standing on it right, And it's one 0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:18.640 of those This is gonna be one of those games, 0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:22.760 especially for like a guy like Debo that's like kind 0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:25.120 of taking a step back because of the injuries and 0:32:25.160 --> 0:32:28.680 all like, he's definitely wanting to be a big factor 0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:29.240 in this game. 0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:31.840 And so I mean, and for both of these. 0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:35.800 Squads, I'm sure for uh Philadelphia, this is the man. 0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:37.800 We're gonna prove it that we'll do it to you again, 0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:40.640 even with your quarterback, because that was the main thing 0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:43.320 that the forty nine Ers was throwing into it. Our quarterback, 0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:45.640 I heard, So we couldn't we couldn't do anything. So 0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:50.120 you know, here's the rematch credited. Let's let's go. 0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:54.280 He's got two games coming up down this stretch here 0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:57.600 where I think he can make this this MVP push 0:32:57.640 --> 0:33:00.480 for himself. Obviously, he got the Eagles game coming up, 0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:05.440 and then after they face the Seahawks and Cardinals, they 0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:10.960 get the Ravens Christmas Night national game on on on 0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:14.520 ABC Monday Night Football. So if you go up against 0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:18.280 these two teams who have good defenses, and you're able 0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:20.800 to go out here and you know, show out, I 0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:23.560 think that's going to be what you need. And I 0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:27.160 do believe playing these games on national TV help you out, 0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:29.960 and you know, playing for the forty nine ers, you 0:33:30.000 --> 0:33:33.200 don't always get that. So he's about to be able 0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:34.640 to get to put himself with the spotlight. 0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:38.360 Scary thing about Philadelphia is do we think we've seen 0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:39.920 them play their best football yet? 0:33:41.640 --> 0:33:43.920 Because I don't. I don't think. I don't think we have. 0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:46.080 I'll continue to say this, I think this is what 0:33:46.160 --> 0:33:46.640 they are. 0:33:46.760 --> 0:33:49.200 And that was the next percent. But what if this 0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:52.200 is who they are? Maybe it's and we're thinking and 0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:56.240 judging them off last year's team and they're not last 0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:56.920 year's team. 0:33:57.320 --> 0:33:59.480 I mean, the only place that they're different is obviously 0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:02.760 they lost running backs. They still their offensive line is 0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:06.800 still in check, you know, not healthy, not healthy albeit, 0:34:07.000 --> 0:34:09.759 but I think they still represent the same components. To me, 0:34:10.080 --> 0:34:12.879 when I look at Jalen Hurts, he's just playing in 0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:15.439 his system that Taylor made for him. That first half 0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:17.439 was abysmal. It looked like, man, he was a shell 0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:19.160 of himself. And then he comes out in the second 0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:22.040 half and he balls out because the offense gives him 0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:23.560 an opportunity to be a playmaker. 0:34:23.600 --> 0:34:24.680 And no matter how. 0:34:24.480 --> 0:34:28.880 Good San Francisco's defense is, once Philadelphia gets inside of 0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.359 the forty, it becomes the Jalen Hurts Show because then 0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:34.640 you have so much else to worry about. You can 0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:37.120 you can spy him with Fred Warner all you want to, 0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:39.920 and he'll still figure out a way to beat Fred 0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:41.839 Warner to the edge. It's just one of those things 0:34:41.840 --> 0:34:44.320 that you see them playing. He's playing in the system 0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:47.000 that Taylor made for him. 0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:49.279 Jalen Hurts doing this thing. I do worry. 0:34:49.360 --> 0:34:54.279 Don't you lean over here and me don't do that. 0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:56.520 Just give him You know what I'm saying. I guess 0:34:56.880 --> 0:34:58.920 did then knocked. 0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:02.120 The battle a little bit system because it's a system 0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:03.720 tailor made for the guys. 0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:05.680 Guy playing the system, tailor made for. 0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:09.000 The guys playing good football, throwing and running, running the ball. 0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:11.640 And even when he starts the game off as a 0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:14.400 shell of himself, three of Alanda thirty three yards when 0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:16.080 it's when it's time to turn, and how the end 0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:17.160 that game a winner? 0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:20.359 How many touchdowns? Like so, you tell me did that? 0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:20.919 Five? 0:35:20.960 --> 0:35:24.040 He did that and a half and over time? 0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:37.280 I mean, goodness, Grace, you're talking about. 0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:35.879 The worry I have for shock Leaders if he gets 0:35:35.920 --> 0:35:39.520 up there to Philadelphia. Is that the conversation with Jalen 0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:42.200 Jalen Hurts and just his ability to recruit as well. 0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:45.400 They didn't go to Super Bowl last year because you know, 0:35:45.440 --> 0:35:47.440 you're looking for a contender and right now you've got 0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:50.040 two contenders that you're visiting. 0:35:50.400 --> 0:35:53.400 So yeah, I mean, I hope he comes over here. 0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:55.399 But you know, we see Jalen Hurts in the Mega 0:35:55.480 --> 0:35:57.680 Man shot Litter Maga Man had that kind of talk 0:35:57.800 --> 0:36:00.440 like that, and. 0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:01.839 That's how y'all do it? Huh could could go that way. 0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:04.080 Let's Jerry right now, you know does his thing? 0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:05.880 Well, you need to go have a conversation, you and 0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:08.440 Derek and uh who else. 0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:13.160 We weren't invited to lunch was Brady James at lunch? 0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:19.600 Al y'all need a Q counsel hopefully Harold Nash back. 0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:25.160 Yeah, get the good brus together, Jerry. Look, Jerry can 0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:27.720 close now you know how to close, and so hopefully 0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:29.520 he does. But I would, I would highly if you 0:36:29.640 --> 0:36:31.120 like him, I highly recommend you don't. 0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:33.560 Let him get on that plane. Ahead, don't let him, 0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:34.720 don't let him, can't. 0:36:34.640 --> 0:36:37.000 Go, don't let jail Hurst talk to him, because okay, 0:36:37.320 --> 0:36:38.920 be strong that the force is strong. 0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:42.440 What do you say he never lost a player that 0:36:42.520 --> 0:36:44.040 he wanted or something, Jerry, And he's like, I ain't 0:36:44.040 --> 0:36:45.240 never lost a player I wanted. 0:36:45.280 --> 0:36:49.160 So I mean, look this that I would be tempted. 0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:54.400 I would be tempted to man, I would be tempted 0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:57.279 to make make that offer for him, especially knowing that 0:36:57.480 --> 0:36:59.879 l V you don't know what the future is. Would 0:37:01.000 --> 0:37:02.960 you've been being able to get a guy like this man, 0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:03.839 that would be pretty good? 0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:09.680 It would it would compete with that state y'all leave 0:37:09.760 --> 0:37:16.840 Randy alone, you know doing this thing.

But no, look, Grandy Gregor, shouldn't the 0:37:43.680 --> 0:37:45.280 credit also be given to Sean Payton? 0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:48.000 Yes, your coach, But we were talking about him too. 0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:50.400 We were sitting y'all thought was gonna fix it.

Now 0:37:54.600 --> 0:37:55.600 you he's done. 0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:59.959 He's done a fantastic job of Michael Lombardi talks about 0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:03.279 Apollo thirteen. I know you guys ain't watched the movie. 0:38:03.280 --> 0:38:05.640 I have no idea the spaceship movie. Yeah, I saw 0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:08.160 that way back when though. Okay, well, I. 0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:09.799 Mean they coming in, they dropped the parts and they say, 0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:13.160 we gotta make We got to take this and make 0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:17.160 it into this with this and put all the parts 0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:18.279 up there and they have to figure outw to get 0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:19.839 him back home. And that's what Sean Payton has done. 0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:22.680 It's like, okay, I got to take this, let's right 0:38:22.920 --> 0:38:25.200 and put it in with that.

They figure out, Okay, 0:38:30.040 --> 0:38:32.160 what are the strengths. Because Russ still has his issues. 0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:34.360 He's covered up the warts. That's what he's done. A 0:38:34.360 --> 0:38:36.720 great job. He's covering up the warts in Denver and 0:38:36.960 --> 0:38:39.880 they're playing good football right now. They are they unlike 0:38:39.880 --> 0:38:43.920 your boy Brandon Staley, they have actually found themselves competing. 0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:44.439 In the AFC West. 0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:44.719 Yeah. 0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:47.640 I ain't gonna give no credit to Russ. I gona give 0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:50.200 a lot of turn around nor I think Russe has 0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:52.920 been playing. He'saying with it. He's been playing within himself. 0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:55.000 He ain't let Russ beat in. He ain't let Russ. 0:38:57.200 --> 0:39:00.320 They've gotten better over I'm saying cooking though, all of 0:39:00.360 --> 0:39:01.560 a sudden, thank you. 0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:02.200 That's why. 0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:04.120 That's exactly the point that I was gonna make. I 0:39:04.120 --> 0:39:06.359 think Russ has kind of figured out. Man, I got 0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:09.520 some weapons for real in Courtland Sutton, and he's using them. 0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:12.000 I think, man, before it just looked like those first 0:39:12.040 --> 0:39:14.160 couple of games, Russ was just now he was late 0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:14.640 with the ball. 0:39:15.160 --> 0:39:17.200 Uh, And now you see all of that changing. 0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:19.880 They're also getting the running game involved, which is a 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:24.040 pivotal part of your passing game. So look, Sean Payton, 0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:26.400 as much as we talked about him in the year's 0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:30.399 past on Mike's neck, know he is showing that he's 0:39:30.440 --> 0:39:36.640 that dude. Take guess how many passes Russ completed thirteen 0:39:36.880 --> 0:39:40.040 thirteen twenty two for one hundred and thirty four yards. 0:39:40.640 --> 0:39:42.399 He ain't letting him come, just saying he ain't letting 0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:45.120 Russ cook. They ain't doing this because of Russ. He's 0:39:45.120 --> 0:39:47.160 a numbing team Russ. And he's like, you're not gonna 0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:49.960 beat me Russ. This ain't Drew Brees said, are you 0:39:50.080 --> 0:39:51.799 not going to give him any Russ has made some 0:39:51.840 --> 0:39:53.640 big time plays, It's a big time moment. 0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:55.799 Russ has played well, but I'm telling you, I just 0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:59.040 believe that Sean Payton is making him play within his system. 0:39:59.320 --> 0:39:59.600 That's what. 0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:10.399 No credit, like rusting it like Bobby Fla. He said, 0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:15.759 credit us get some credit. He gets some credit. I 0:40:15.800 --> 0:40:18.040 watched I watched the Broncos games. Now, how about that 0:40:18.800 --> 0:40:19.760 your quarterback takes. 0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:24.200 I can't trust you on that. Man, like Herber's trash, 0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:29.239 they're going miss the playoff. Everybody gonna get he on 0:40:29.280 --> 0:40:32.520 the priority list. He probably like fifth. I'm just saying 0:40:32.520 --> 0:40:35.799 abouty get fired. Oh yeah, all yeah, you couldn't say 0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:39.440 killing one and done. Boy, wonder it's looking like it. 0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:41.200 It's looking like it. Come on, you can't. 0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:45.200 Staley is now worse than Anthony Lynn when they got 0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:47.680 rid of Anthony Lynn. Oh you can't win close games. 0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:50.480 You're charging you're charging up, and they're doing this. 0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:54.919 They're worse. He's still there, worse. How are you still there? 0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:56.440 All that talent? 0:40:56.600 --> 0:40:59.480 They got the highest, the highest defensive rids of defense 0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:03.319 trash to be a defensive coach defense trad he's that man. 0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:07.879 Everybody thought because they defense played well last the last 0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:08.440 two games. 0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:11.480 They scored three points at the first We said in 0:41:11.600 --> 0:41:13.560 Washington game, like where is did. 0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:16.960 You did you look at the previous eleven games. Defense 0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:21.439 was horrible, terrible. That's why I started, Lamar said. I said, 0:41:21.440 --> 0:41:22.680 I wasn't starting them all season. 0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:27.200 They played the charges I figured out I got. 0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:29.800 I still won that game though, and other league. 0:41:30.160 --> 0:41:32.839 Yeah, he's just made know Mike McCarthy real good. Look 0:41:32.920 --> 0:41:35.520 like Mike exactly what he was doing, man, exactly what 0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:35.960 he's doing. 0:41:36.040 --> 0:41:38.759 I compare that to how Russe and Denver and them 0:41:38.760 --> 0:41:41.640 looked and at the beginning of the season to where uh, 0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:43.920 Dak and McCarthy and Dack said he had to figure 0:41:43.920 --> 0:41:46.040 out the offense. Now he feels comfortable in the offense. 0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:48.400 I think, not as good as Dak has been playing. 0:41:48.440 --> 0:41:50.799 But I think you see that same thing happening with Denver. 0:41:50.920 --> 0:41:53.040 But I think the sky is the limit for us 0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:56.080 if we continue to get everybody involved to Super Bowl wedding. 0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:58.319 Head coaches know what to call plays you're talking about 0:41:58.440 --> 0:42:01.799 versus you guy, the guy who yo, y'all cool with 0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:04.520 the people that they put the Cowboys played against. It's 0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:08.919 just like no click, no no, no, no, no no no, because. 0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:11.719 Man, I'm just saying I want to see what happens 0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:13.960 the next five But that's come on, there's certain there's 0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:17.480 certain aspects about it that it does boil down to execution, right, 0:42:17.600 --> 0:42:20.160 I mean, and you have seen them clean up a 0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:22.160 lot of those things that they were doing and starting slow. 0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:23.080 They're not starting slow. 0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:24.920 The penalties aren't, you know, adding up against them. So 0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:27.359 that's that's kudos to the team and Mike McCarthy. But 0:42:27.400 --> 0:42:29.200 you still got to take a look at who they've 0:42:29.200 --> 0:42:29.760 played against. 0:42:29.760 --> 0:42:32.680 Are the top three top three? And what record with 0:42:32.760 --> 0:42:39.120 NFC teams? Yes, yes, I don't know. I don't know. 0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:42.600 Whose Detroit three and four? With Detroit three or four, 0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:46.520 it's like even after you wow, so you got I'm 0:42:46.560 --> 0:42:51.120 just throwing Detroit. You got Philly, friend, Yeah, those are legit. 0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:53.799 They beat them, and y'all just this is no question 0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:54.960 that the better than Detroit. 0:42:55.040 --> 0:42:59.719 I'm not. I'm not, y'all know. 0:43:01.400 --> 0:43:03.160 Let me say it for the record. Hell yeah, we 0:43:03.280 --> 0:43:04.840 better than you want to hell yeh yeah. 0:43:04.760 --> 0:43:08.960 Yes, better than Troit. Okay, yeah, we'll see. I'm like, 0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:13.160 it's like, we'll see. Come on, Detroit has played some things. 0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:17.480 They got blown out by, they got beaten back, they. 0:43:16.360 --> 0:43:18.200 Got drilled it home by Green Bay on thanks. 0:43:18.360 --> 0:43:24.600 They loved about seven Man that they came out Jason 0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:28.160 Garret Spec Dream Band came out there with swap inside 0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:30.719 their head. They came back again and then unlike the 0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:32.680 week before where they came and escape, they wasn't no 0:43:32.760 --> 0:43:33.080 escape this. 0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:40.080 I'm blamed that on the Jack Hallow performance, Heads and 0:43:40.160 --> 0:43:41.200 Tails above Detroit. 0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:43.719 I feel like there's a lot of pride talking. 0:43:45.400 --> 0:43:49.520 Like I'm not I'm not going. I'm telling you our 0:43:49.520 --> 0:43:51.520 defense has been better than detroits for years.
