14
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: Whington football teams hosting the Dallas Cowboys Sunday and landover Maryland. Barry,

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: I want to go back to the first time you

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: ever went to FedEx Field. What were you thinking it

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: was gonna be? Versus when you showed up and you

18
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: drove through there and you're like, it's here, man, I'm

19
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: not gonna lie to my first That was my very

20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: first regular season game in twenty ten and we went

21
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: to Washington. We lost that game. I think that was

22
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: when the Agelo Hall scoop and scored the fumble. They

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: won like thirteen to three or something crazy like that.

24
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: But that was my first time going to an NFL game, period.

25
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: So then Washington was it was up there, and like

26
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: you said, man, we're driving up. I'm thinking, you know,

27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: all stadiums in the NFL are glamorous, like so I

28
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: went you know, small high school and Toledo. Of course

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: that's a mid major, so the stadium is not gonna

30
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: be crazy. So my man, I'm thinking, I've never been

31
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: to an NFL game and I'm only driven past, you know,

32
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers stadium, and that stadium was pretty dope. So

33
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: to me, I'm like, all right, man, this this is

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: gonna be amazing. I can't wait to see you go

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: through this tunnel and get to the locker room. It's

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna be so high tech. Man. We pulled up in

37
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: their I was like what, And then we walked pack.

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: We walked through the tunnel of the tunnel, crocks all

39
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: over the tunnel. The locker rooms small and looked like

40
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: it was built back in nineteen sixty five and they

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: haven't done any reservations to it, so I was extremely disappointed.

42
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: But the atmosphere was pretty cool. Man atmosphere was definitely

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: pretty cool. That tradition, that rivalry is definitely alive in there.

44
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: And for the most part, like we talked about the

45
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: other day, it's all Cowboys fans. It's like it's like

46
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: a home game away from you know, Dallas. So I

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: loved going up to Washington. I got a great record

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: against that team. So hopefully it continues on our Sunday.

49
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: The thing that's weird is as you're driving through this

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: town in Maryland and you pass RFK on the left

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: where they used to play, where the place used to jump.

52
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: So you pass the old stadium. Then you drive it

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: through this neighborhood. You pass apartments and liquor stores and

54
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: in these this is kind of shopping, this kind of

55
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: shopping areas, and the next thing you know, you're here.

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's a whole bunch of landing. The stadium

57
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: is there, and you're like, okay, yeah, so so what

58
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: you were used to is all right, here's at and

59
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: T Stadium. You know, this palatial place next to you know,

60
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: another baseball diamond, and then you're passing the Steelers in

61
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: your Hinsfield, which is right next to where the Pirates play.

62
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: Those stadiums are right there together. And then you come

63
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: to this and you're like, oh, okay, and then you

64
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: realize how old it is when you go down. This

65
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: is an old place, man. Man, it's it's old. It's

66
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: real old, and it's real small. Like it's just like

67
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: the locker rooms you know at at and T Stadium.

68
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, you got a whole bedroom as

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: your locker, but in there, it's like, man, it's literally

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: like a cubby and everybody's so tighten. Like there's offenses

71
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: on one side, then there's a wall, then there's a

72
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: defense on the other. And the training room is right there,

73
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: so I mean, it's just it's real compact. You're right

74
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: next to the opening of the stadium, so if you're

75
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: playing in there in this cold, they leave the doors

76
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: open in the locker room, it's freezing. So I mean

77
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: it's just all around. Man. They need to get up

78
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: out of there, and newly they need to get up

79
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: out of that stadium. But okay, I don't see it

80
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: coming anytime soon. Well, ideally from from the things you

81
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: keep reading in the Washington Post is Dan Snyder wants

82
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: to go to RFK. He'd like to get something built there,

83
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: but that apparently is not happening. And then of course

84
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: they've talked about going in Virginia someplace. So I'll say this,

85
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to find public money and votes

86
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: for that stadium. Who's gonna want to vote for Daniel Sardy.

87
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: He's an unpopular man. He's taken the team, which which

88
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: had a long list of season ticket holders over ten

89
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: thousand plus, and he's whittled that damn to Now you

90
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: roll up in there, you know it's a home game

91
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: for the other team. Cheeseheads came up in there, took

92
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: over last year. Colts fans were up in there. So

93
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: so he's he's really done a lot of damage. And

94
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: these votes are hard. I remember when Denver was trying

95
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: to get the votes for their stadium. They've won the

96
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and it barely passed. I remember when they

97
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: were trying to get Cowboys stadium build here. Jerry had

98
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: to work real hard and had bill parcels out there.

99
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they were out here trying to convince people

100
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: they give us your vote, so you'll give us public

101
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: money for this stadium. So I don't know where Daniel

102
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: Snyder is going to be able to go get it.

103
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: And then you look at all the messages that are

104
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: going on at his organization, inside the organization, and they're

105
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: not winning, so I should say they're not winning championships

106
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: anymore like they used to. So so we'll see. But

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: they have won four straight football games. They are two

108
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: games behind the Cowboys, so this game is going to

109
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: be important. Montest Sweat, one of their pass rushers is

110
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: not going to be playing in this contest. We already

111
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: know Chase Young, who they took in the draft last year,

112
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: number two overall. He's out for the season, and they're

113
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: tied in Logan Thomas, who has had some pretty nice

114
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: games against the Cowboys past a couple of years. He

115
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: will not play in this football game. So the Boys

116
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: is they're getting some guys back Washington, losing some guys here. Yeah, yeah,

117
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: you're right about that. They lost some important pieces, definitely

118
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas. You know, he's missed the majority of this

119
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: season and then he comes back these last couple of games.

120
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: He plays well against the Raiders and then boom, he

121
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: takes that injury right there the last victor or the

122
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: last time they played. So to me, that's a huge

123
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: loss because that was kind of like their security blaming.

124
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: That was Heinekes like security blaming. When everything breaks down,

125
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: he's looking for Logan Thomas. So without him being there,

126
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: I think they still have Ricky Sills Junior. I think

127
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: he's still there as they're tight end. He's another one

128
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: of those wide receivers slash tight end type guys, so

129
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: we should be able to contain him. But even with

130
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: all those injuries, we know on the defensive side of

131
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: the ball, Sweat, who's been out for the majority of

132
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: the year as well, will miss again because of COVID.

133
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: But with all those injuries, they still on the offensive

134
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: side of the ball, they still have those cowboy killers.

135
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about Gibson and I'm talking about Scary

136
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin. I mean those two guys alone they do

137
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: some damage to the Dallas Cowboys last time they met up,

138
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: I believe in Washington, Gibson went off running the football

139
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: and we know what Scary Terry could do on the outside.

140
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: And it's like we go through this every single time

141
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: we play a guy in the division that just does

142
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: well gets Dallas. Look at with the Raiders, the Shan Jackson,

143
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: he came back. He was a cowboy killer. Nobody knew

144
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: anything about this guy this season. He wasn't doing anything,

145
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: and then boom, he plays against us and goes off.

146
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: So those two guys have the capabilities to be in

147
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: game records. So it makes me a little bit nervous.

148
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, knew I think the Boys got

149
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: this handle. I look at Neville Gallamore coming back. I

150
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: just cannot emphasize that enough of how much I'm expecting

151
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: him to be the player I saw a training camp

152
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 1: who was an improved football player, who was the best

153
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: interior defensive lineman they had. And when I go back

154
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: to camp and guys that I saw improvements from, Terrence

155
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: Steele was one of the guys that we saw improvement from,

156
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: improvements from. We saw Cdelad making incredible plays. We saw

157
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: Sean mckewen the tight end playing out of football. We

158
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: saw a lot of guys in that second year with

159
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: a full camp that we're getting better. So I'm expecting

160
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: Nevill Gallimore to get out there to help fortify the

161
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: defensive line to help stop the run. Tristan Hill is

162
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: coming back off the suspension to go along with, Hey, yeah,

163
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: don't punch nobody. How about that, you know, at least

164
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: not not after the game, but but hope hopefully losing

165
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: that paycheck will get him in the right frame of month.

166
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: And and then also Osagi Zua. So if you get

167
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: some more beef up front going on with Carlos Watkins,

168
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: get some more beef up front, stop that run. Then

169
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: you get your defensive ends back to Tank Lawrence and

170
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: Rady Gregory. We know Tank Lawrence is very good at

171
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: helping to stop the run as well. I like what

172
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys from a defensive standpoint they're gonna be able

173
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: to bring. And then now you've got Michael Parsons with

174
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: the ability to line him up in different pressure points.

175
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: So I'm expecting the Cowboys and Dan Quinn to go

176
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: out and fit, you know, figure out how do you

177
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: stop the run? First, stop Gibson and then it's chart

178
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: as far as Terry McLaurin goes, okay, hey Treyvon, go

179
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: get it, go, get you know, do what you did

180
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: to Justin Jefferson and other football players out there, and

181
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: if Taylor Heneke wants to go ahead and throw digs

182
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: his way to try and put some pressure out there

183
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: for him, if I the Cowboys that welcome it. Yeah,

184
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: And I'm with you on that. And you gotta be thinking, man,

185
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: with these names you were throwing out along the defensive line,

186
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, when's the last time they were this deep

187
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: along that that that unit. I mean you didn't even

188
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: talk about Basham or Daurance Armstrong. I mean you got

189
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: Carlo's Watkin's returning, you know, interceptions for touchdowns we get

190
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, he'll returning like all those guys you just mentioned.

191
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking to myself, like, man, I don't even

192
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: know when the last time we had a defensive line

193
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: that was this deep to where you could literally rotate

194
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: maybe three separate units and still have high productivity like that.

195
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: To me, it just blew my mind. Like I'm just

196
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: sat there and thing like, Man, this team this defensively,

197
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: and if they all get healthy and remain healthy, I mean,

198
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: this defense can be scary in the long run. I

199
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: don't want to sound like a Homer. I don't want

200
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: to do that. I try to make sure when I

201
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: come here on the players lounge about to you by

202
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: hotels dot Com that I tell it like it is.

203
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at the Cowboys having played three games

204
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: in twelve days, battling some injuries, battling some COVID and

205
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: they did not look their best as they lost two

206
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: of the three in that stretch. And know the New

207
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints win wasn't some great win like they went

208
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: out there and beat Atlanta. They had to struggle, they

209
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: had to earn the win. But I don't think I'm

210
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: being a homer when I tell you the Cowboys are

211
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: now getting ready to get some reinforcements back that can

212
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: improve this football team for a stretch run into the playoffs,

213
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: and they can improve themselves. You can do this, I mean,

214
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: and I say this looking back at Tampa Bay last

215
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: year seven and five at one point, and people look

216
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: at the Buccaneers saying, hey man, we don't know if

217
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: this thing is really working out with Bruce Arians and

218
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. We don't know. And we saw them get

219
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: it together. You saw a guy like Vita Vea come back.

220
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: You can get better. And in fact, we saw Tampa

221
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: struggling with that secondary Barry. Remember the week one Dak

222
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: Prescott was torturing that secondary up there. They're getting guys,

223
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: They're getting guys back, and you're starting to see them

224
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: play a better brand of football. So, if we are

225
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: being fair and we talk about what the Cowboys are

226
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: getting back and the ability to put out a lineup,

227
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: they yet to have the lineup that they penciled down,

228
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: the lineup that they thought they had in training camp.

229
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: They haven't had an opportunity to roll those guys out.

230
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: This could be in on Sunday and at the most

231
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: important time against the team that is behind you. You

232
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: go ahead and win this game. Man, You got three

233
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: up on him and you got four to play. Could

234
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: be pretty good. You're right about that, And I'm sure

235
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: after we take this break, I got a question to

236
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: ask you when we get back with all that, with

237
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: all that along and defensive line, do you keep Parsons

238
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: at the linebacker or do you still do what he

239
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: does best? And that's after the quarter. This we will

240
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: discuss after we take this break. Barry Church, Knwi Scruggs,

288
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: Toledo Rocket himself. He is Barry Church. I don't know

289
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: if he's gonna head down to the Bahamas Bowl and

290
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: not to support the Rockets, but if you're going to

291
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: go to a bowl game, that would be a very

292
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: good one to go to, my man, a very good one.

293
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: So I would love to join the Toledo Rockets down there.

294
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Coach Candle a shout see if he

295
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: can hook something up for your boy to get me

296
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: down in the Bahamas and lot Nui. I didn't know,

297
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: but the Rockets were seven and five this year. You know,

298
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: I thought we barely made it Bowl eligible wise, but hey,

299
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: if we were a game above it seven to five. Man,

300
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: here's one thing that I will say for the Mac teams.

301
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: They're lucky because most of the bowl games they get

302
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: to go to are are outside the Midwest most of

303
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, man, yeah, I feel sorry for some

304
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: of these Texas teams. Man, you sit up here, you

305
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: get to go to bowl game, and they go roll

306
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: you right down the road, like what waiting We're going

307
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: to San Antonio. We're going to prison real quick. Yeah yeah,

308
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean I would be hot like he man, all

309
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: year long, you're waiting on this nice bowl game and

310
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: they gonna send you and you're staying in the state

311
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: of Texas, you know, not even get to go to

312
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: New Orleans, you know, I mean you do not want

313
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: you that. That would frustrate outside of the Cotton Bowl,

314
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: because the Cotton Bowl is a great game, and that's

315
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: that's one of the big that's one of the big bowls.

316
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, if you're just a Texas team like

317
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: UT San Antonio, Man, you want to go to California,

318
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: you want to go somewhere, and then you look up

319
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: and see, man, Toledo gets to go to the Bahamas Bowl,

320
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: I'd be swoven, you a lying, I'd be solid exact

321
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: Like if I'm not in the College Football Playoff, Like

322
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: if I'm not one of the four teams in there,

323
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: and I gotta do one of these other bowls. Take

324
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: me to the Mohamma's Bowl. They'd be somewhere where I can,

325
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, enjoy the week out there. You know. Football, Yeah,

326
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna practice a little bit, but outside of football,

327
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: we need to lay on the beach somewhere and hang out.

328
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: Not much rather do that than, like you said, go

329
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: ahead and go right down the street, you know, to

330
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: the Alamo Bowl or somewhere like that. Man. I it's

331
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: just it's just a bad straw right there, man, bad draw. Yeah. Yeah,

332
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: then I feel sorry for um, for SMU. Man, they

333
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: got to go to Boston. They're going to the Fenway Bowl,

334
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: so they're playing in Fenway Park. It's gonna be cold, cold,

335
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: so hey, you get the leave Texas, but you're going

336
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: up to Boston. Man, it's gonna be cold up in here.

337
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: So yes, yes, your your Toledo Rockets have it really good.

338
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you're not in the Sugar Bowl,

339
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl, Bahama's Bowl, is

340
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: a heck of a consolation. Man. Now that you can

341
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: go recruit with you're out there, man, you can recruit

342
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: with that without a doubt. And also you can you

343
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: bring your clubs do a little golfing down there. So, hey, Toledo,

344
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: if you're listening, man, hook your boy up, hooky boy up. Man,

345
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: I'll be on the sound. I'll do whatever whatever you need,

346
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: quality control, whatever you need. I'm there a man. Just

347
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 1: you know, send a ticket for your boy. Meanwhile, Danny's

348
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: LSU Tigers are gonna go take on k State in

349
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: Houston at the Texas Bowl. I don't think I don't

350
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: think that's what the LSU kids thought was gonna happen.

351
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: It's the start of the year. They're gonna go just

352
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: right down the road to go a couple of hours

353
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: out of Houston for a bowl game. But yeah, that's

354
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a family, family and friends bowl right there

355
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: where all you see in the stands is just you know, family,

356
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: the immediate family, and some friends. Man. That's that's all

357
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna be right there. Now, all right, let's dive

358
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: back into some cowboy defensive questions as they get ready

359
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: to face Washington in their key game on Sunday. And look,

360
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of Michael Parsons. I think you

361
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: and I were both there at first just wondering Okay,

362
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: hey man, you drive have to had the corner, but

363
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: you took the next best defensive player that was one

364
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: of the top three guys we kind of focused on

365
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: were Sir Patrick Surtan of Alabama, jac Horne, South Carolina,

366
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: and then it was Michael Parsons. But we were all

367
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 1: about a defensive player. Our guy, Danny McCrae was all

368
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: about offensive tackle. So Mica has turned out to be

369
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: a sensational pick at twelve. He is going to win

370
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Now with Tank

371
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence coming back at one defensive end spot Randy Gregory

372
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: at the other, I say you put him back at linebacker.

373
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: But the beauty of what dan Quinn is going to

374
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: be able to do is he'll be able to dial

375
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: up pressure any kind of way he wants. So he

376
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: can have him play some bass, he can have him

377
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: line up over the center. I mean, he can bring

378
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: him so many different places, man, that I just think,

379
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: I think we're about to see Michael Parsons go next

380
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: level if we see and think we can get Randy

381
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: Gregory playing like he had before he got injured, Tank

382
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: Lawrence doing what he's been able to do when healthy

383
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: in his career, and Neville Gallimor taking another step in

384
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: his second year. I think this can free up Michael

385
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: Parsons and do some damage. Yeah, you're right about that, man.

386
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm agreeing with which because this will be the first

387
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: time really that dan Quinn will be able to use

388
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: him as like a defensive weapon, you know, a physician list,

389
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: just defensive weapon out there, because you got the guys

390
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: on the outside. Let's just say tank. You know he's

391
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: coming back strong. He came back in that Saints game

392
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: and played pretty well at nine PM. Let's say that

393
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: Gregory does the same thing when he comes back. You

394
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: have your two bookends on the outside. So you could,

395
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: like you said, you can play with Michael Parsons alignment.

396
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: You can blitz him up the center, you can have

397
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: him attack the wink link of the offensive line. But

398
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: you could have him everywhere and pretty much use him

399
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: as a defensive weapon. I mean, when we first started

400
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: talking about this guy, I thought, all right, you know

401
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: he's a beast, but I think he needs to stay

402
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: at linebacker. You know, he can he can affect the

403
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: game more that way. You know, he doesn't have to

404
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: come off the field. Because at the defensive lineman you're

405
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: gonna have to rotate. But he proved me wrong. Man,

406
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: when he got down to that defensive line, he was

407
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: still able to give you fifty to sixty snaps and

408
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: he was causing havoc for every offensive line that was

409
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: out there, whether it was a tackle or there was

410
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: he moved them inside playing guard. So now that we're

411
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: so deep at the defensive line, I think you can

412
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: truly use him as a weapon no matter what the situation.

413
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: You can put them back in the past coverage if

414
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: you want to attack it, you can have push d

415
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: Law on the inside and have Parsons on the outside

416
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: as an end. You have so many capabilities of using

417
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: this guy and his talent and his abilities. I mean,

418
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: it could be a scary sight. It could be a

419
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: scary sight if it all works out. But to me,

420
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: Gregory has to come back like he was before he

421
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: was injured, because he was on a roll, he was

422
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: on a tear. If he can do that, then man,

423
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 1: the sky's limit for this defense and what they can

424
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: do with parsons. And then the question you have to

425
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: ask is, Okay, who do you double team? I mean literally,

426
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: who do you double team, where do you go? And

427
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: so I think dan Quinn is going to be able

428
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: to just get in getting you talk about getting in

429
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: your bag, He'll be able to get in his bag

430
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: and do some different things. If everyone is as we

431
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: talked about, is able to play at the level that

432
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: we believe they can on this defense, and now you're

433
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: talking about trying to get this unit to gel for

434
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: their last five games. Here, we could be talking about

435
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: a different type of Cowboys team. I was chatting with

436
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: Rick Goslin and he was talking about New England. He says, Hey,

437
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: that's not the same team that the Cowboys faced. He said,

438
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: that's a different team now, which means you know what

439
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: they were able to grow and you coach them up.

440
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: I look at that same standpoint for what I think

441
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can do and be. This defensive unit can

442
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: get better, they can grow, and you could go into

443
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs talking about a different type of football team.

444
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: Offensive side, we got some other questions, but right now, defensively,

445
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: I like what they could possibly do, and not only

446
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: a different team, but a healthy team, Like if they're

447
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: able to get back all these reinforcements and they're able

448
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: to stay healthy for this playoff run. I mean, you're

449
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: looking at a dangerous squad. I mean the last time

450
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: they were all together as one, like as a defense,

451
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: everybody was healthy, was Week one, you know, against Tampa Bay,

452
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: and we said all that game went out, I mean,

453
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: you know it. It was a high scoring affair, but

454
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: the defense was able to get four takeaways as well.

455
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: So to me, this is just this team to start

456
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: to come together. They're starting to gel as a unit.

457
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: Everybody's kind of knowing the strengths and weaknesses of what

458
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: they're asked and we're being asked to do out there,

459
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: and they're playing at a high level. I mean it's

460
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: not only the defensive line. You look at the second level.

461
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: Vander esh you know, he might not stand out as much,

462
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: but he's not he's not giving up players or busting

463
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: coverages like he has in the pasts. And then you

464
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: look in the secondary. I think Anthony Brown. You know,

465
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: we get on him a lot on the show earlier

466
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: in the season, but this guy has had an extremely

467
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: solid season. Outside of two games, you know, the one

468
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: game against the Raiders and then the Tampa Bay game,

469
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: He's played extremely good, a solid corner on the outside

470
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: opposite of trait or digs on the other side. We

471
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: know all know how he's playing. So to me, this

472
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: defense is gelling. It's getting healthier and it could be

473
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: scary going come playoff time. If these guys can all gel,

474
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: now that's an optimal word. If they can all gel. Folks,

475
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: If it doesn't happen this Sunday, do not panic. Okay,

476
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: it may take some time to get everything, all the

477
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 1: pieces together and Barry, this is where you can talk

478
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: to to people. Being a former safety in the league,

479
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: sometimes you've got a thought of what you think it

480
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 1: could be and it may take you a little bit

481
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: to get there. I present to you the New England

482
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: Patriots took them a little bit to get to that

483
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: vision of what Bill Belichick's wanted on both sides of

484
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: the football, but they got there with five games to go.

485
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: I believe the Cowboys can be able to get there.

486
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: This is a key game that you like to go

487
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: ahead and get in the bag because to beat Washington

488
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: at their place, knowing that you get them the day

489
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: after Christmas at your place, this can be a big

490
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: help in terms of being able to wrap up this

491
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: division and try to tinker with a couple of things

492
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: if you want to, and don't forget you've got Arizona

493
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: after you face walk the Washington football team at Jerry World.

494
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: So I like what I'm seeing on the defensive side

495
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: of things. Offensively, we got issues, but right now the

496
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: defense maybe the side of the football that can kind

497
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: of help carry the Cowboys right now. Yeah, well i'd

498
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: have done. I think, you know, they can help carry

499
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: it or do their job to get just team to

500
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: where it needs to be. Um, like you said, we

501
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: got them because we got Washington to a two out

502
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: of the next three games. And to me, if we

503
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: wrap this up in Washington this weekend, I think it's

504
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: done for the division. I think that you know, that

505
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: puts a three game lead between the Cowboys and the

506
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: next closest you know, guy, or next closest team in

507
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: the NFC East. So I think it pretty much gives

508
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: us the leeway to pretty much solidify that playoff position

509
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: and get that division lead or that division crown. So

510
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: this is definitely a huge game. And like you mentioned this,

511
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: this defense, they're gonna they have to take some time

512
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: to jail. It's not just gonna happen overnight. I mean,

513
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: you got pieces in here that are ultra talented but

514
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: had yet to really play together as a whole all season.

515
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: I mean, de Barcus Lawrence came back last week. He

516
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: showed that he can he's been He's back to where

517
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: he used to be, and he can affect the quarterback

518
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: and affect the run game. But it's still gonna take

519
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: a little bit of time for all these pieces to

520
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: jail and see where they fit perfectly. So I'm interested

521
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: to see what they do on third downs. That's gonna

522
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: be a huge key for me to see how they're

523
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: gonna play this package or they're gonna make it kind

524
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: of like just a fast Nascar type package where you

525
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: kick the loll in and you put Parcels on the

526
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: edge with Gregory and then maybe a Neville Gallimore or

527
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: Thorn's Armstrong at the other tackle position. So I'm interested

528
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: to see what they do on third down. But this

529
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: is definitely a huge game and these guys definitely need

530
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: to bring an a game and hopefully this defense can continue.

531
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: It's a high level of play. So Barry, what is

532
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: the mindset for a football team sitting here with this

533
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: kind of league? Knowing if you go to Washington, you

534
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: may be able to go ahead and soak up this

535
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: division right now. But on the flip side, if you

536
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: don't handle your business, you've now given them life. So

537
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: you gotta be you gotta be extremely locked in. You

538
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: gotta be extremely locked in, and I think this team is.

539
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they know the opportunity they have right now

540
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: to pretty much take a commanding lead in this division

541
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: and pretty much lock it up. So I think Dak

542
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: and the leaders on this team they won't let this.

543
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: They won't let the guys wander. They won't they won't

544
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: let a Denver Broncos type situation happen again. And I

545
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: think that good for us that it already is out

546
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: of our system. We saw what happened in Denver. I

547
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: don't think this team will let that happen again. So

548
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be extremely locked in now, is it? You

549
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: know Washington gonna come or come with their A game

550
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: and they might you know, beat this team. Yes, that

551
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: is a that is a possibility, but overall, I don't

552
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: think it'll be because the team's not focused or not

553
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: ready to play. I think they know what's on the

554
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: on task right here now that they know what the

555
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: goal is, so hopefully they come to Washington ready to play.

556
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: He's buried church, I knew, he scrugs. Danny McRae with

557

563
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: up before Christmas. So that's how these shows kind of

564
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: how they do it. So they wrap it up the

565
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: week before Christmas. So so it's this week next week

648
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: brought to you by Hotels dot Com, new He Scrugs

649
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: and Barry Church. Danny McCrae with the day off here

650
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: all right, so so Church. Jerry Jones does a show

651
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: every Tuesday on one to five, three of the Fan.

652
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: I used to do that show, so I understand those questions.

653
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: You want to get into Jerry and seeing where he's at.

654
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: So Sean and r J, who are the hosts. They

655
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: asked Jerry about Dak, you know, is he healthy? And

656
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 1: you know, because because they don't think that Dak has

657
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: been the same since coming back of the calf injury.

658
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: And that's a fair that's a fair assessment. That's a

659
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: fair from from you know, not being involved, you know,

660
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: with the team, you can look from and say, hey,

661
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: look it's been different. And so Jerry proceeded to say that,

662
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: all right, the receivers if kind of let them down, yeah,

663
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: not kind of where they needed to be at some

664
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: times here and some people thought it was a shot.

665
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: But one thing Jerry didn't say, which I definitely believe

666
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: he was. He would have been a legitimately fined to

667
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: save us. Hey man, we have way too many drops, Okay,

668
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: way too many drops. And Noah Browns, Cedric Wilson, especially

669
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: in Kansas City just didn't have the kind of football

670
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: game that they needed to have. Okay, there was their

671
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: time to go ahead and and and be there. They weren't.

672
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: They just simply weren't. So it was a problem because

673
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: you had cooper out with COVID and then you had

674
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: um Um, you had cdlam who left the game with

675
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: the concussion. Those guys didn't not pick up slack. Yeah,

676
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: and get you right about that. Man, I don't know

677
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: how it would take this. You know, if I was

678
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: a you know, if I was a receiver, but I

679
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: was in that receiving room, I don't know how it

680
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: would take this because he's kind of he's kind of

681
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: putting it on them. He's kind of putting the saying, hey,

682
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of girls throws they you know,

683
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: they weren't in it. They weren't overthrows or under throws.

684
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: You know, the receivers got to help them out. They

685
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: got to be able to catch the balls. And you know,

686
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't know how I would feel

687
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 1: about that because the room, like you said, there's been

688
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: a lot of drops. You know, I understand that the

689
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: A team really wasn't in there. It wasn't you know,

690
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: like the whole the whole time. It wasn't you know,

691
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: a CD gallop and cooped together. You know, we had

692
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: some said will since we had some Noah Browns in there,

693
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: and occasionally a Malik Turner as well, and so it

694
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: wasn't the A team that was in there. But there

695
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: was a lot of drops. There was a lot of

696
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: drops out there, and for him to kind of say, hey,

697
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: you know what, the receiver's gotta help out. They gotta

698
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: do something better is it's kind of a shot. It's

699
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: definitely kind of a shot. And if I'm a receiver,

700
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm taking it that way. But there's not much you

701
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: can really do. You just gotta go out there and

702
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: step up, step your game up, and when a ball

703
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: strow on your way, you gotta catch it. Make plays. Hey, look,

704
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: you're talking about several guys who are going to be

705
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: free agents. So if Jerry said it and you're trying

706
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: to get your bag, I'd be listening to it because

707
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: you know who's going to decide your fate here with

708
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Jerry Jones. Okay, so Jerry to me, and

709
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: I look at Jerry that told you how he feels.

710
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: A man, I don't think you're helping my forty million

711
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: dollars quarterback out. Even if the forty million dollars quarterback

712
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: has been off target. Bottom line is perception, perceptions reality,

713
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: So the man who writes the checks has a perception

714
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: of what's going on right now. So you've got Amari Cooper.

715
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: Think of it this way. The only safe person is

716
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: cde E Lamb. He's still under his rookie contract. But

717
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: the MARII Cooper, all of the guarantees are coming, so

718
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: if they want to move on from him, they can

719
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: with no issue. And E. Centric Wilson's FREEC Michael Gallants

720
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: a free agent, and and Noah Brown should be. I

721
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: think he may be a free agent as well. So

722
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: there's guys who are to be thinking about, hey, I

723
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: need to be there. They definitely should think because you know,

724
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: if Jerry's if Jerry's saying I'm thinking that, you know,

725
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: somebody told him, man, so they had to be somewhere

726
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: in the scouting department or the coaches. Somebody told him like, man, yeah,

727
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: these receivers need to step it up. You know, they

728
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: ain't helping press scout up out a lot out there,

729
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: and they need to step it up. So you know,

730
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: it's not only Jerry feeling that way. So if I'm

731
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: a receiver. Like you said, man, you gotta think man.

732
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 1: So not only is Jerry thinking, and probably the money

733
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: man is thinking that scouting department and maybe even these coaches.

734
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: So if I'm trying to get paid, I'm trying to

735
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: get that bag. If I'm trying to be with these

736
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: cowboys long term, gotta step the game up, man, especially

737
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: in these primetime games coming up, got these division games

738
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: coming up. Ain't a better way to make money. You

739
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: gotta step it up and make these plays. So I'm

740
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: a receiver definitely listening, got with a keen ear saying,

741
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: all right, this is what Jerry's saying. All Right, I

742
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta get back ground on. I gotta get

743
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: back to work. So but I'm sure to listen. They

744
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: got enough playmakers over there. So you're you've been a

745
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: player in the league, and you know how players are

746
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: sensitive to what they hear. If Jerry is going to

747
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: go ahead and put this out on his radio show,

748
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 1: imagine what he's saying behind the scenes. Most times people

749
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: guard what they say if it's not in a positive

750
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: light about their football team. Jerry's the ultimate optimist, but

751
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: he's out here saying, hey, man, these guys runs wrong.

752
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: I think kind of. They basically say they let that down.

753
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: That's what he's saying, Mikey here, let that down. So

754
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: maybe that's the Maybe that's the Jedi mind trick. They

755
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: go ahead and get it lit up here and FedEx

756
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: field on. I don't know, but I think you think

757
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: these receivers. You think these receivers are over there, like, man,

758
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: they're trying to get us up out of here. Man,

759
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do? Man? Hey, look man, if I'm

760
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup, I'm worried. I'm worried about it. Um it's okay.

761
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: You want to get your wife on the show here

762
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: a church? Does that? That me? That's not me? That's you, man, Yeah,

763
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: that's you. That's you in the background. Oh we're good now.

764
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: I believe I thought that was you? Was you over there?

765
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's going on? I'm a I'm all alone, man,

766
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: you don't won't got the whole family, but I'm all alone.

767
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: See me all right? I was like, hold up, man,

768
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 1: I know they're me over here tripping CD mmmm blameing

769
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 1: Dallas cowboyd dot com boy you go, okay, I thought

770
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: it was you knew it for sure. I'm like, oh,

771
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: over throwing his other story. He's the stuff Chris, you

772
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: out here like these cowboy receivers like Jerry saying, how

773
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: are you dropping? Just dropping the ball man. So so

774
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: here's here's something that that I do wonder about, is

775
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: how healthy is Dak Prescott because he came off the

776
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: calf injury and we have not seen him play like

777
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: he did before the calf injury. Could he be compensating

778
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: at all? Is it still hurting? You ask him and

779
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: he says he's all good. But still at the end

780
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: of the day, I do wonder because he's not the

781
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: guy he was before he got hurt. You do you

782
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: think it has more to do with his calf injury

783
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: or do you think it's this offense being more predictable,

784
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: or like this offense not being as balanced of attack

785
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: as it has been earlier in the season. Either way,

786
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm interested to know that because, like you said,

787
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 1: he's ever since that calf injury, ever since he's went

788
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: out with that calf, he's come back, he's just been

789
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: a little shaky. I don't know if it's been off

790
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: with the throws, just that connection, that timing with these receivers.

791
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: We hadn't seen like it, like it was at the

792
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 1: beginning or before he got his calf injury. So I'm

793
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: not sure. I don't know if it's the injury that

794
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: kind of threw his game off, or it's just kind

795
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: of defenses picking up on what they're doing out there

796
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: and his offense maybe more predictable. But I'm not quite

797
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 1: sure newly on that one. Okay, here's just just wild theory. Okay,

798
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,959
Speaker 1: just just my wild theory. Um, could the calf also

799
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: be connected to last year's century? You know? Could it

800
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: all be kind of a cumulative thing that's that's going

801
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: on there. Obviously the offense hasn't been hitting. We're watching

802
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: Dak with some throws and making some throws that we

803
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: just don't normally see. He's off. So yeah, I mean

804
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: that's why I just look at the interception he threw,

805
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: Look at the interception he threw against the Saints. I

806
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: mean that wasn't double coverage. It was underthrowing. Yeah, that's

807
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: so that's why, that's why we have the questions that

808
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: we have, because things are off. Dak is not one

809
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: hundred percent right, just like we can look at Ezekiel Elliott.

810
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: We know he's not healthy. Mike McCarthy spoke today and

811
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: he's like, well, you know what, um, guys have different injuries.

812
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: Everything's different. Like you can't compare what Dad was going

813
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: through with Zeke when they when Dad was hurt with

814
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: the calf and they decide to rest him versus Zeke

815
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 1: and why they're not resting himself. Things are not on point.

816
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: And Church, I come back to you, you played this game.

817
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: How much do they make sure they never tell us

818
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: the media and the fans because guys don't want to

819
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: have their business out there. They want to protect themselves.

820
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: Oh oh, they want to protect themselves always. I mean

821
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: it's hard enough for a player, at least. I know

822
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: for me it was to tell the training staff I

823
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: was hurt. Now you know I wasn't in a I

824
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: wasn't it at the level of you know, the Zeke

825
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: or a dad to where you know I was the

826
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, had to I had to be on the field,

827
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to give you know, I didn't

828
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: want to tell anybody I was injured lest I had to.

829
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 1: That's it was visible on the field that I was injured.

830
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: So definitely, these guys and these teams are definitely gonna

831
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: you know, protect against you know, letting everything out there.

832
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: But I could for sure see a scenario where the

833
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: cash giving him a little just a little pain back there.

834
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why these passes have been the offer. He

835
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: hasn't had that connection. But wherever the case may be,

836
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: they gotta get it through. They gotta get something worked

837
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: out because we gotta get back on this role. We

838
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: gotta get these playoffs. So to me, you know, if

839
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: it's injured, if it's figuring out the offense of what

840
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: they're going on, they definitely got to switch something up

841
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: because we need to get this offense back to where

842
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: it was at the beginning of the season. Cowboys are

843
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: favorite in this one, so Vegas thinks that they could

844
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: win this football game. The Cowboys have played well on

845
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: the road. To Mary Cooper, who had a social game

846
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: coming back from COVID against the Saints. I expect him

847
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: to be on point and doing his doing out there.

848
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: So and that is what what's that seven seven to

849
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: one against the football team. I mean, it ain't no way.

850
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 1: I'll say it's a blowout. And I don't think there's

851
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: a way that the football team gets this done, but

852
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: we'll see all right, you know what. We can talk

853
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: about that tomorrow. So make sure you're watching tonight. Only
