Speaker 3: the slide.
Speaker 2: There you go. That's you bring that with your signed
Speaker 2: and ready to go. He's expressed checkout. Man.
Speaker 3: All right, So did y'all have an opportunity to watch
Speaker 3: in in this NFL football over the weekend.
Speaker 2: It was for me, it was stress free.
Speaker 3: I got to look at everybody else's faults and I
Speaker 3: saw a bunch of them. Man.
Speaker 2: But I want to know about y'all, man, it was some.
Speaker 3: Surprises on the weekend, d mac. Who is your surprises
Speaker 3: of the weekend?
Speaker 2: Man? I was surprised Detroit got done like that. They
Speaker 2: got dirty.
Speaker 3: So like like you you already know, you already know
Speaker 3: you today they get dirty, they got go ahead, focus up, man, Baltimore,
Speaker 3: did Detroit dirty?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: They came out and I like, they just look like
Speaker 3: a totally different team. You have been waiting to see
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson with O'Dell and Flyt like all these all
Speaker 3: these weapons that he had, and you're like, okay, monk
Speaker 3: and said he was going to pass the ball a
Speaker 3: little bit more, spread it out.
Speaker 2: We hadn't seen it.
Speaker 3: And then they came out against Detroit and was like,
Speaker 3: we finish, show y'all how we play. And from the
Speaker 3: beginning of the game to the end of the game,
Speaker 3: they literally let Detroit have everything they wanted. And prior
Speaker 3: to that, I wasn't here and we all probably still
Speaker 3: so that Detroit was one of the top teams in
Speaker 3: the NFL, absolutely, and I still believe they are. But
Speaker 3: to see that Baltimore Ravens go out there and do
Speaker 3: them like that, that was that was super impressive.
Speaker 2: Come on, who saw who was definitely one of the
Speaker 2: bigger ones.
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna go with last night with Kirk Cousins
Speaker 4: out there dealing against San Francisco. I mean, this is
Speaker 4: a defense who we all saw it. You know, we
Speaker 4: all saw the game when they played the Cowboys a
Speaker 4: couple weeks ago, and it looked very formidable. I mean
Speaker 4: we thought and still rightfully so I still say they're
Speaker 4: a top defense. But man, Kirk Cousins was out there
Speaker 4: dealing without Justin Jefferson out there. I mean he he
Speaker 4: had two random backs, and not random, but Madison and
Speaker 4: Acres back there, who've been up and down, left and right. Addison,
Speaker 4: the young rookie, came out of nowhere playing ball. And
Speaker 4: usually when you look at Kirk Cousins, he's the one
Speaker 4: that's always kind of flopping on primetime games, whether it's
Speaker 4: Sunday night, Thursday night, Monday night, he's usually flopping out there.
Speaker 4: But I mean Kevin O'Connor and them boys had a
Speaker 4: great game plan and they I mean relatively so. I mean,
Speaker 4: if you look at the game, it was it wasn't
Speaker 4: close until towards the very end.
Speaker 2: Like that.
Speaker 4: I feel like, you know, Minnesota had that game the
Speaker 4: entire time. So that was a big time surprise for me.
Speaker 4: You know, those are those are the two games. And
Speaker 4: I'm glad you went with Detroit because that was what
Speaker 4: I was gonna go with. I was shocked to see
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson did them boys like it was
Speaker 4: like crap shot year.
Speaker 3: You know, It's like after the fact, they was dismantling
Speaker 3: and taking that team apart. And I got to say,
Speaker 3: I was shocked at the you know, the passing game
Speaker 3: from Lamar Jackson too. We know about his legs, but
Speaker 3: the arm came with it and this new offense that
Speaker 3: he's in. Man, if this is the if this is
Speaker 3: what we're peeking towards for Lamar Jackson, this is a
Speaker 3: dangerous Baltimore team. Now. I don't want to be a
Speaker 3: part of the overreact crowd. I don't want to do it,
Speaker 3: but but I think based off of what we were
Speaker 3: talking about earlier, Detroit defensively and offensively were that surprise
Speaker 3: team that you felt like Campbell had turned it around
Speaker 3: and power rankings.
Speaker 2: Even though we talk about this in the NFL, that was.
Speaker 3: One of your top five teams in the NFC, no
Speaker 3: matter how you looked at it, you still and maybe
Speaker 3: still look at Detroit that way.
Speaker 2: But I'm with you, dog, Wow.
Speaker 3: That's because that's because it makes you feel better as
Speaker 3: a Cowboys. Oh that's the guys, that's what y'all talking about.
Speaker 3: They went out there and lost too straight. Yeah, boys,
Speaker 3: Hype and Pard he came up in what do you
Speaker 3: do to us?
Speaker 2: He did like And.
Speaker 3: That's the NFL though, right, So it's like it's it's
Speaker 3: week by week. Every week we come here and do
Speaker 3: the same thing. How San Francisco ended up losing two
Speaker 3: games in a row last week, We kind of gave
Speaker 3: put an asterisk by because they lost c MC. You
Speaker 3: lose Debo Trent Williams. This week, it's just Debon and
Speaker 3: true Wings. But you gotta see him. See, you should
Speaker 3: be able to beat they're missing justin Jefferson. You should
Speaker 3: be able to beat them, all right, And they came
Speaker 3: out there and played the heck of a defensive game.
Speaker 2: Is it is it? Flores Florence is over there when
Speaker 2: I think he.
Speaker 3: Drew up some masterful for them dudes. CMC still went
Speaker 3: off now, he still did his thing. But yeah, like
Speaker 3: it was surprising. But I know why you feel better
Speaker 3: about it. I know why you feel better.
Speaker 4: Are you more surprised at the at the you know,
Speaker 4: the offense being you know what it was turning the
Speaker 4: football over or that defense that's I mean, they, you know,
Speaker 4: top defense in the league up to this point.
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of like diced up, you know.
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of both. You guys, know,
Speaker 3: when you get to this point in the season and
Speaker 3: injuries are starting to affect teams, you don't expect for
Speaker 3: them to look like they did when they when they're
Speaker 3: at full strength. I mean, what a difference of Trent
Speaker 3: Williams make on your offensive line, all right? What a
Speaker 3: difference of Deebo Samuel's making in your passing game? No
Speaker 3: matter where he is in his career right now, you
Speaker 3: still have to count for where Debo is. I think
Speaker 3: on the on the other side, for the defense, that
Speaker 3: linebackers are still the true But there were just some
Speaker 3: holes that I didn't think that Kirk Cousins could find
Speaker 3: and they had to look. There was some lucky breaks though,
Speaker 3: I mean some of those balls. Come on, yeah, he
Speaker 3: should have two picks, you know. I mean, it happens.
Speaker 2: It happens.
Speaker 3: But still when you look at the game, it was like,
Speaker 3: and you break it down, you're just saying to yourself, like,
Speaker 3: come on, man, this is this is one of those
Speaker 3: teams that after they beat us, everybody saying can anybody
Speaker 3: beat them? You know, it's it's pretty the number one
Speaker 3: quarterback in the league, and it doesn't make me feel
Speaker 3: good to see them lose, but it does say, dang,
Speaker 3: you know, where was all this with y'alla? You said,
Speaker 3: held on, we got stomped by them, and they went
Speaker 3: out there lost too straight to some teams that quarterback
Speaker 3: Cleveland and you lose to Minnesota and stumped us stomp
Speaker 3: stump us out. So it just depends on how you
Speaker 3: want to look at I would say this about Kirk
Speaker 3: Cousins because we do like primetime games every once in
Speaker 3: a while to do but no matter what year in
Speaker 3: the year, he got the stats, he's gonna put all right,
Speaker 3: So they're gonna be competitive in the game, especially offensively,
Speaker 3: so to me, it was no surprise that he still
Speaker 3: went out there and they put up numbers against him,
Speaker 3: which was what it was. It ain't like they went
Speaker 3: out there and put up thirty plus on them. But
Speaker 3: he was still doing this thing. So shout out to
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins. But we just want to remember that Kirk
Speaker 3: Cousins has always been able to put up big, top numbers.
Speaker 3: Prime Time Kurt, and we got Prime Time Kurt, and
Speaker 3: he showed us why he Prime Time Kurt. But now
Speaker 3: that you see you've seen the forty nine ers lose,
Speaker 3: you've seen the Philadelphia Eagles look vulnerable in their moments.
Speaker 3: Let's get them the same treatment you just gave San
Speaker 3: Francisco because they came out and did what to Miami.
Speaker 3: So they look off that they look off the week before. Okay,
Speaker 3: and they come back and this is the same Miami.
Speaker 3: They put up seventy on Denver with Tyreek Hill out
Speaker 3: there and Waddle and Tua.
Speaker 2: All right, the.
Speaker 3: Offensive line was a little shaky's and that's unfortunately when
Speaker 3: you go against a team like Philly. But get them
Speaker 3: to get them the same, Tam, here's my opportunity to
Speaker 3: allow you to walk the red carpet with your other boys. No, No,
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just coming to the microphone. Hey, we're
Speaker 3: gonna say, okay, weekend, week out whatever, because last week
Speaker 3: we were like, okay, Philly lost, and we all sat
Speaker 3: there and said, man, that's you know, every given something
Speaker 3: that you can get out there and lose it. And
Speaker 3: we came back here today it was like, did you
Speaker 3: see San Fran went out there look bad?
Speaker 2: We circled the game most people circle that game between
Speaker 2: Miami and Philadelphia and was like, Okay, this is gonna
Speaker 2: be one of them games where we're gonna find out
Speaker 2: who is who? And then you Washington and you found
Speaker 2: out who was who.
Speaker 3: And I found out from Miami that they obviously, just
Speaker 3: like we saw from San Francisco, were missing players. Got
Speaker 3: to get a lot, Yeah, they were missing players. But
Speaker 3: also Tarik Hill, I mean he dropped the wide open touchdown.
Speaker 3: I thought McDaniel like he coached against himself. That we've
Speaker 3: been looking at Miami and where was that running games?
Speaker 2: Non existent? You know a lot of the things that
Speaker 2: we see from that they completely gave up.
Speaker 3: But I'm talking about the NFC power rankers as we
Speaker 3: see it right now after what happened with the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers and what you're seeing with Philadelphia. Where do
Speaker 3: you look at the NFC and how do you rank
Speaker 3: these teams right now? The same I had Philly as
Speaker 3: number one, San Francisco number two, Detroit number three, of
Speaker 3: us number four stopped I'll just stopped right there. But
Speaker 3: that's what I still have it there with us being
Speaker 3: off last week, just because we saw what Philly did,
Speaker 3: they proved it. They are number one team until we
Speaker 3: are able to beat San Francisco or they are like
Speaker 3: out of the playoff race. They're going to be ahead
Speaker 3: of us because it's been three years and the last
Speaker 3: time we played them they embarrassed us, So they're gonna
Speaker 3: be ahead of us. And I think Detroit they still
Speaker 3: got the biggest win of the season against against Kansas City,
Speaker 3: and they went out there against the Lamar Jackson led team,
Speaker 3: where any given day, Lamar Jackson and that squad can't
Speaker 3: do that to just about any team in the league
Speaker 3: if they clicking of all cylinders like that.
Speaker 2: So I'm just leaving where it is. They got that
Speaker 2: same thirty eighty six treatment that beat the NFC.
Speaker 4: I kind of got a similar I got Philly up
Speaker 4: at the top. And then I'm saying there's a little gap.
Speaker 4: I'm not you know, I'm saying there's Philly, and then
Speaker 4: there's there's a little respectable gap between the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: Who's next?
Speaker 4: I got Detroit in there, and then I'm kind of
Speaker 4: Cowboys slash Seattle because I like what I'm seeing out
Speaker 4: there out of the West. I mean, you know, Geno Smith,
Speaker 4: he's more consistent. Last year, he showed he can do it.
Speaker 4: This year he's backing it up. So I feel like
Speaker 4: they got a little they got something cooking up there
Speaker 4: in the West. So I'm putting Cowboys in Seattle kind
Speaker 4: of that slash for But to me, when you look
Speaker 4: at it Eagles, even in that loss where he turned
Speaker 4: the ball over, I think three times, they still had
Speaker 4: opportunity to win the game.
Speaker 2: And we've seen it all year long. Philly just ain't
Speaker 2: really clicking.
Speaker 4: Everybody's kind of like, you know, don't I don't see
Speaker 4: the same Jalen Hurds, you know, the coordinators not being there.
Speaker 4: I think it's huge, but there's still six and one.
Speaker 4: Even all through all of that, we still, in my opinion,
Speaker 4: at least believe we haven't seen the best Philadelphia team,
Speaker 4: so I gotta put them up there. And then when
Speaker 4: you look at the forty nine ers, yes, they stopped
Speaker 4: the month hole in the Dallas Cowboys. You know a
Speaker 4: couple weeks back, but two back to back losses against Yes,
Speaker 4: Cleveland has a great defense, but that quarterback was p J.
Speaker 4: Walker out there and he was able to orchestrate drives
Speaker 4: and getting points on that forty nine ers defense. Then
Speaker 4: you fast forward to last or you know a couple
Speaker 4: of last night. Last night KRK Cousins with j J.
Speaker 4: Jeto was out there dealing. I mean, the man threw
Speaker 4: a forty sometimes and didn't get received, no sacks. There
Speaker 4: was no pressure on that man. And we talked about Bosa,
Speaker 4: you know all those guys.
Speaker 2: What happened to them? What happened? What happened to those boys?
Speaker 4: So granted there was a couple of breaks, but like
Speaker 4: we say, you know, things happened in the league. So
Speaker 4: to me, that's a big gap, not a big guy.
Speaker 2: Media, what about it? What about a.
Speaker 3: Healthy, healthy San Francisco forty nine deebo and you got debo,
Speaker 3: you got Trent Remember against Cleveland, they were missing the
Speaker 3: debo Trent in CMC for for a little part of
Speaker 3: that game. So healthy, uh forty nine ers to me,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I still got to see them, and
Speaker 3: I gotta see it. I gotta see them in Philly.
Speaker 3: I think the thing about Philly is about my other boys.
Speaker 3: This is what I said about Philly and why I
Speaker 3: had them number one when I was on the break
Speaker 3: with Derrk and Nick. Philly is a team that no
Speaker 3: matter what, they can find a way to win. And
Speaker 3: that's offensively, defensively, or on special teams, no matter what's
Speaker 3: not clicking. And that's the difference between US San friand Philly.
Speaker 3: Is Okay, Philly, go out there, Jalen Hurts, don't look right,
Speaker 3: don't worry, Carter and Slay and they're gonna figure out
Speaker 3: a way to get it done.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, the defense not showing up.
Speaker 3: Don't worry Jalen Hurts and Swift and aj they gonna
Speaker 3: find a way to get it. Wait, we need something
Speaker 3: from special like, no matter what is not going right
Speaker 3: for them, they still have an opportunity to win the game.
Speaker 3: But you look at a team like US where you say, okay,
Speaker 3: defense ain't they ain't stopping nobody. Right then, you like
Speaker 3: you could just close your eyes and if somebody tell
Speaker 3: you defense not stopping nobody, you can just alreadially assume
Speaker 3: you're probably gonna lose that game, right, And I think
Speaker 3: that's the difference between Philly and then most of the
Speaker 3: other teams in the left. You know, I'm with you.
Speaker 3: I think you know Philadelphia. I'm still gonna put them
Speaker 3: at number one. Win ugly, just win, that's all it matters.
Speaker 3: And the gap they've increased that when I've seen what
Speaker 3: you just said forty nine is the way that they
Speaker 3: lost the two teams that they lost too. Regardless of hell,
Speaker 3: no one's giving us any excuses for losing, Trayvon Diggs,
Speaker 3: do nobody care? You know they Hey, y'all lost two
Speaker 3: to the teams y'all lost to, and y'all gonna be
Speaker 3: ranked in and around that fourth fifth spot no matter what.
Speaker 3: Like what you said about Seattle, that's a sneaky good
Speaker 3: team that a lot of people are not talking about.
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, they got a pretty damn
Speaker 3: good defense. They're flying right now, they really do. They
Speaker 3: got a pretty good and we see them too. We're
Speaker 3: gonna see all them, see them too, which is crazy
Speaker 3: to me, man, which is crazy to me.
Speaker 2: And on top of that, when we talk.
Speaker 4: About when we talk about Philadelphia, and you know, it
Speaker 4: drives me crazy.
Speaker 2: Been talking about them more and more? Is it? List
Speaker 2: you started on right here I'm talking about you didn't
Speaker 2: even mentioned Philly. You said he was mad.
Speaker 3: It's not here like man, Go ahead, man, I'm gonna listen.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm gonna dost. The dude, Howie Roseman right
Speaker 3: now is dealing. And I don't care how you look
Speaker 3: at it. If you admire the NFL where you just
Speaker 3: like good football, you see what he did. Kevin Bayer,
Speaker 3: the guy was from Tennessee. I know y'all, y'all would
Speaker 3: know what safety if we break up for safety. Came
Speaker 3: in to the league of twenty sixteen. I believe he
Speaker 3: has something like twenty seven interceptions for his career. Two
Speaker 3: time All Pro, two time Pro Bowler. Dude is like that.
Speaker 3: And somehow the Philadelphia Eagles have found a way to
Speaker 3: add more pieces to a already really good roster. Now, guys,
Speaker 3: you're sitting here in the front office, put on your
Speaker 3: Will McLay hat for me.
Speaker 2: Please, are you looking at this?
Speaker 3: Come on, d Mac, you looking at this roster right
Speaker 3: now as the trade deadline approaches October thirty first, at
Speaker 3: three pm.
Speaker 2: Central Standard time, are you not making the move? Danny?
Speaker 2: Is your team? You tell me, give it to me
Speaker 2: one hundred man.
Speaker 3: Look, if there is a interior defensive lineman out there
Speaker 3: that is that is is one of those guys where
Speaker 3: you're like, he's gonna make a difference, yes, sir, call linebacker,
Speaker 3: yes sir. Other than that, nah, I'm okay, I'm okay, linebacker,
Speaker 3: defensive lineman. I think if you get one of those
Speaker 3: difference makers, bro playing the three technique on the one technique, Bro,
Speaker 3: it will change this defense as good as it already is.
Speaker 3: It will change this defense. You've seen it in Philly.
Speaker 3: You've seen it. It's hard to find those type of guys.
Speaker 3: But if you're able to, hey, when somebody calls and say, hey, man, listen,
Speaker 3: we rebuilding and we just sorry.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I don't even know who that guy is. We
Speaker 2: talked about another show.
Speaker 3: It's like, it's not that many of those those difference
Speaker 3: makers in the interior defensive lineman.
Speaker 2: So I don't know who that guy would be.
Speaker 3: But if there's an opportunity to get one of those
Speaker 3: linebacker or defensive lineman. Yes, other than that man, you
Speaker 3: got weapons all over the place, dron Blant stepping in
Speaker 3: nicely for Trayvon Diggs.
Speaker 2: You still got Gilmore out there.
Speaker 3: Jordan Lewis has been the starter in the league, still
Speaker 3: forcing turnos can cover in the slot. So I don't
Speaker 3: I don't see any other way where you like, we
Speaker 3: have to go make an upgrade here to get us
Speaker 3: to the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Put the cap on Macwell, First off, what's up with Tennessee?
Speaker 4: They just giving Philly dies AJ Brown here and AJ
Speaker 4: Brown you can go out here to wreck the league.
Speaker 2: Take our all pro safety as well. Somebody got something
Speaker 2: on to this. They just flipped. I mean, I just
Speaker 2: don't get golf buddies.
Speaker 4: A run we got here, you can go ahead get
Speaker 4: It's crazy to me, but we talked about a move
Speaker 4: to make I'm with you, d Mac. I'm talking about
Speaker 4: that second level as a as a linebacker court you know,
Speaker 4: I would definitely look into making a move up there
Speaker 4: because where you got right now, you got you know,
Speaker 4: the moon clark out there and the majority of the
Speaker 4: snaps and my and I believe I mean, I don't
Speaker 4: look at it in front of me or nothing like that.
Speaker 2: But the majority of snaps went to Marque's Bell, who
Speaker 2: had a great game.
Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong, he played unbelievable against the Chargers.
Speaker 4: But going forward, man, I just don't see if you
Speaker 4: can play him in that role. I know Lvy may
Speaker 4: come back, you know, in a couple weeks or whatever,
Speaker 4: but in the meantime, I don't know if you can
Speaker 4: continuously play him in that role because when you see it,
Speaker 4: not everybody's gonna be as finesse as the Charges were.
Speaker 4: Where it was kind of just you know, we read
Speaker 4: option here, you know, we'll dump it off to you there.
Speaker 4: A lot of those people are gonna do like the
Speaker 4: forty nine ers did when they see fourteen in the
Speaker 4: box like that, Man, we're gonna write down Hill at year.
Speaker 4: We're gonna go again some more physical opponents. So I
Speaker 4: wish they were able to make a move in that
Speaker 4: second level because lv was such a big loss. You
Speaker 4: got them on Clark. Other than that, you got a
Speaker 4: couple guy you know Evans that he's on the practice squad,
Speaker 4: But you know who you're gonna put in there, that's
Speaker 4: a real linebacker body that's gonna be able to battle
Speaker 4: on the trenches. So either, like you said, a three technique,
Speaker 4: one technique on the interior or that second level.
Speaker 2: I think it's a month.
Speaker 3: Well you got you got the Bazukah, Yeah you do,
Speaker 3: but you have to But you know you know where

Speaker 3: was y'all? What was the magic album for Dad, mccraye,
Speaker 3: Barry Church. What were the games that y'all loved the most?
Speaker 3: Was it twelve o'clock, three o'clock? What was the kickoff time?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 3: I love me at good twelve o'clock. Gah, ain't gonna
Speaker 3: lie to you. Go ahead and get it over it.
Speaker 3: You don't get started. Don't have to sit around and
Speaker 3: wait watching the other game seeing what happened.
Speaker 2: I love me a good twelve o'clock game.
Speaker 3: And the Monday night like a Monday night of Monday
Speaker 3: night game and get you too, But I prefer twelve
Speaker 3: o'clock man, Sunday, go ahead and get it on. U
Speaker 3: about the way so I can get the work done,
Speaker 3: go on home and eat some food. Dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. You love it? What about you? Oh?
Speaker 4: I see yeah, I love the twelves twelve And I
Speaker 4: didn't really get to have money twelve until I got
Speaker 4: to Jacksonville and we were playing almost every week on
Speaker 4: twelve o'clock games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were always.
Speaker 4: We only had even the year we went to THEFC Championship,
Speaker 4: I think we only had one prime time and it
Speaker 4: was a three twenty five game really, or fourth twenty.
Speaker 2: Five out there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I love the twelve o'clock because, like you said,
Speaker 4: you ain't sitting around, you know, thinking about what's going on.
Speaker 4: You just get up, shower, you at the stadium, and
Speaker 4: you're ready to roll those three o'clock in those in
Speaker 4: those later games, have you eat a little bit, it's
Speaker 4: sitting on your stomach and you're like, man, I gotta
Speaker 4: go out here. Man, it's just twelve o'clock. You get
Speaker 4: it in, you get it out, and you're out of there.
Speaker 4: So I'm with the twelve.
Speaker 3: So for this Dallas cowboard team, this is their first
Speaker 3: twelve o'clock game of the season.
Speaker 2: Do you worry about.
Speaker 4: Any let down from this young team? Is there any
Speaker 4: Do you love it?
Speaker 3: I hate it for them, especially it being their first
Speaker 3: twelve o'clock game. I'll tell you what, Okay, I'm not
Speaker 3: worried because we do have some we have some veteran
Speaker 3: leadership on this squad, okay, and I think Mike McCarthy's
Speaker 3: gonna be able to get him right, Dan Clinton get
Speaker 3: him right. Hopefully they don't come out sleepwalking, but we
Speaker 3: do know it can happen. But they playing a team
Speaker 3: that's coming from La ten o'clock for them, Okay. So
Speaker 3: so if it's anybody at a disadvantage at this point,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give it to the I'm gonna give it.
Speaker 2: To the other squad. So hopefully not. Hopefully they've been
Speaker 2: off a week, they.
Speaker 4: Rested, they like, hopefully just itching itching to get back
Speaker 4: out there. They watched football all week, they saw the
Speaker 4: same forty nine and seen go out there and lose.
Speaker 4: So now they feel a little bit more confident in
Speaker 4: what they can do as far as finishing the season
Speaker 4: hopefully getting the number one seed win in the division,
Speaker 4: whatever that.
Speaker 2: Is, so hopefully they're just ready to go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which I think, you know, the disadvantage goes with
Speaker 4: the Rams on this one, coming all away from you know,
Speaker 4: la ten o'clock start time for what they're used to,
Speaker 4: so that may bog them down a little bit out there,
Speaker 4: but overall, man, I just man, I just usually McCarthy
Speaker 4: has his team's rate to roll, like we can never say, man,
Speaker 4: this team is just you know, starting slow like we
Speaker 4: used to be able to stay with, you know, Garrett
Speaker 4: in his tenure over there, so he usually has him
Speaker 4: raided roll. So I'm gonna go ahead and go with
Speaker 4: McCarthy on this one and say he's gonna have him
Speaker 4: radar roll at twelve o'clock.
Speaker 3: But nothing about, nothing about it makes you guys nervous,
Speaker 3: and that does not sound right to me. I at
Speaker 3: least figured there would be some pushback on this, because
Speaker 3: y'all remember the Denver Broncos game. I believe twelve o'clock
Speaker 3: it was daylight saving, so you did have another hour.
Speaker 3: It still came out flat. Do you worry about that?
Speaker 3: At least them coming out flat?
Speaker 4: Not.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's possible for them to come out flash, especially
Speaker 3: coming off a boy week like you haven't played you
Speaker 3: out of that routine. That's possible, But I think I
Speaker 3: think they have enough leadership on this team to then get.
Speaker 2: It figured out.
Speaker 3: If it does happen, I'm going to bet that they
Speaker 3: come out ready to play because of where they are
Speaker 3: in the season. And believe me, they still have not
Speaker 3: forgot about getting stomped out by the San Francisco forty
Speaker 3: nine ers.
Speaker 2: They still got a lot to prove.
Speaker 3: To take a whooping like that, you see them come
Speaker 3: back the next week galvanize the team going against the Chargers.
Speaker 3: They want to pick up and keep that momentum going on.
Speaker 3: And I think they're hearing that in the locker room
Speaker 3: Wednesday when they gonna hear a man twelve o'clock game.
Speaker 3: Just so, y'all, you need a red bull, whatever you need,
Speaker 3: make sure you're ready to go all right, because if not,
Speaker 3: this is not the Arizona Cardinals that you plan. This
Speaker 3: is Sean mcvahannam boys, and Cooper Cup is back and
Speaker 3: healthy and they got they can make some stuff happen
Speaker 3: on you before you wake up.
Speaker 2: Mess around be down by twenty. Well, let's do that.
Speaker 2: Let's do that.
Speaker 3: I mean, because y'all, I've got an opportunity to watch
Speaker 3: some football, and you know, this team, I know we're
Speaker 3: gonna talk about them all week, but just your initial
Speaker 3: thoughts on the Los Angeles Rams, what's your thoughts.
Speaker 4: On When you talk about defensively, I think, you know,
Speaker 4: I think they're they're slacking a little bit on that
Speaker 4: end of it. When you when you look at the
Speaker 4: Rams team in the past, it was, you know, they
Speaker 4: got Aaron Donald, who's still a dog. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 4: He's still a beast, but he also had people beside
Speaker 4: him that can that can do work. They used to
Speaker 4: have a Sean Robbinson out there, Leonard Floyd that can
Speaker 4: help Aaron Donald get after the pass rusher. When I
Speaker 4: look at him now, it's kind of like it's Aaron
Speaker 4: Donald or bus Like. If he doesn't get back there
Speaker 4: and get pressure, the quarterback pretty much got all day
Speaker 4: back there. So to me, defensively, if the Cowboys played
Speaker 4: similar to what they did last week and Dak's able
Speaker 4: to those throws, I think offensively that we should have
Speaker 4: where the Cowboys should have a big time game. But
Speaker 4: when you talk about, you know, the Rams offense, that
Speaker 4: worries me a little bit because you got Cup out
Speaker 4: there and he ain't just stationary on the outside.
Speaker 2: They moved that man slide, you know, got them in motion.
Speaker 4: They do a lot of that eye candy stuff that
Speaker 4: in San Francisco forty nine ers did words. You know,
Speaker 4: you see a lot, you see a little type deal.
Speaker 4: So him and Nicol both out there. You got two
Speaker 4: dynamite weapons we didn't get.
Speaker 2: We don't. I don't believe we had that the match
Speaker 2: on the on the other side, I'm not so sure.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know Bland is playing well, but Gilmore,
Speaker 4: if we looked at what Gilmore has been doing this season,
Speaker 4: he's not the same in Gilmore for twenty nineteen. You know,
Speaker 4: he struggles with guys. And I was talking with and
Speaker 4: we were on what was that on Talking Cowboys earlier
Speaker 4: last week, and Brian Brodders was breaking it down to
Speaker 4: us where he believes Gilmore he he's lost a little
Speaker 4: bit of a step when when teams are starting to
Speaker 4: run him on over routes, it's hard for him to
Speaker 4: keep up over there. So I'm a little bit worried
Speaker 4: when it comes to the Rams offense. But if that
Speaker 4: pass rush comes to play, then that can negate everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I listen, the strength of our team is the
Speaker 3: wide receiver in the quarterback. Okay, Matthew Stafford's been doing
Speaker 3: it for a long time, even with Cooper Cup out.
Speaker 3: We see Nicoua get out there and Pookah. Look at
Speaker 3: his stats now, Okay, I think he's two yards short
Speaker 3: of Jamar Chase as far as having the most receiving
Speaker 3: yards in the first.
Speaker 2: Whatever seven eight games.
Speaker 3: Like, the dude is producing and he was in there
Speaker 3: by himself, and defensive coordinators knew that Matthew Stafford was
Speaker 3: thrown to him, and he still found a way to
Speaker 3: still get a honey yards at the Huney yards at
Speaker 3: the Honey Yards.
Speaker 2: So you know that he is he is the real deal.
Speaker 2: And then you got Cooper Cup triple Crown guy. So
Speaker 2: like when you're looking at what you need to stop,
Speaker 2: it's usually like, hey, you got to stop the run. Nah,
Speaker 2: that ain't it.
Speaker 3: You got to figure out a way to trick Matthew
Speaker 3: Stafford and seeing some stuff that he doesn't usually see. Uh,
Speaker 3: maybe seeing some ghosts get Michael par Parsons some time
Speaker 3: to get back there and get those sacks. But if
Speaker 3: you give him time with those two guys out there,
Speaker 3: then it's gonna be a long day for the Dallas Cowboys. Man,
Speaker 3: I got a good friend named because he's not from
Speaker 3: the Polynese knowlans shout out man, Pook and the Coop
Speaker 3: and what are the names that you hear a lot?
Speaker 3: And it's because he's producing it. That's that's the only
Speaker 3: reason him and Cooper Cup and what you just mentioned,
Speaker 3: those crossing routes, they gonna get the Los Angeles Ram
Speaker 3: gonna give you that all day long. And I saw
Speaker 3: what's t J Watt on his interception and he's playing
Speaker 3: in three four but he backs out, baits him and
Speaker 3: on the crossing route that he undercut, And to me,
Speaker 3: I was like, man, that's crazy to see t J.
Speaker 3: Watt undercut a route. He's a dick. How did this happen?
Speaker 3: And you rewinded and you see they baited him because
Speaker 3: they do a lot of those crossing routes.
Speaker 2: And that's how Poker has been eating.
Speaker 3: Now the Cooper Cup is back, that's how he I mean,
Speaker 3: you know what he does, right, They're gonna move him
Speaker 3: and put him in every position to win. But that's
Speaker 3: where I worry about Gilmore. That's where that's why I
Speaker 3: worry about him and his cause what if team has
Speaker 3: been doing racing him across the field and making him
Speaker 3: track those those ross and routes. But I think on
Speaker 3: the other end, offensively, we gotta eat this as a game.
Speaker 3: You gotta eat, you gotta eat. And and I don't know,
Speaker 3: Like when I when I came away from every when
Speaker 3: the last minute went off last last night, I.
Speaker 2: Was like, we got an opportunity.
Speaker 3: We got stumped out by the forty nine ers, but
Speaker 3: we gotta make up for it because this next two
Speaker 3: game stretch, no matter how you look at it, it's
Speaker 3: important because of the who's at the end of that
Speaker 3: two game stretch. You win this, you go into Philly,
Speaker 3: you get a victory in Philadelphia, Dog, that puts you
Speaker 3: right back up at the top.
Speaker 2: Just focus on this week. Hold hold on, no, man,
Speaker 2: I break it down. He came back. Yeah here talking
Speaker 2: about Philly already set up.
Speaker 3: Good, it's great, let me live, let me get you.
Speaker 3: But you know how important this is, man, We gotta
Speaker 3: get this one. We gotta get this And I'm and
Speaker 3: I'm gonna concentrate on the Rams. And that's why this
Speaker 3: game is so important because it just teased you up
Speaker 3: to a bigger matchup in.
Speaker 2: The next week. You know what it is, we know
Speaker 2: what's coming. You trying, you try, He.
Speaker 3: Tried to, and they still put it on all left.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something about the NFC West already
Speaker 3: in Arizona. Okay, for for all intensive purposes, Okay, when
Speaker 3: you say we got stumped out by by San Francisco,
Speaker 3: Arizona Gables, Arizona's.
Speaker 2: Games, everything we wanted out there.
Speaker 3: Okay, so Rams, Yes, the NFC West for us, it
Speaker 3: ain't been good.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 3: You know, it's the NFC West invitation and we owe
Speaker 3: it to well, we're on one right now, actually going
Speaker 3: two and two were owing.
Speaker 2: To This is a team. This is a team.
Speaker 3: You cannot overlook their Matthews effort again, even with the
Speaker 3: offensive line, and that was my biggest question, like what
Speaker 3: does this offensive line look like the pieces that they
Speaker 3: had in the.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl years, those are gone.
Speaker 3: But Matthew Stafford is getting the ball out quicker, He's
Speaker 3: not taking that punishment back there. They're getting behind the
Speaker 3: running game. And that's the biggest thing for me, Hey,
Speaker 3: we gotta make sure that we stopped the run. We
Speaker 3: cannot give the Rams any life. We can't just okay,
Speaker 3: roleur helmets out there. They're gonna let no no, no, no no,
Speaker 3: they are gonna come to play.
Speaker 2: And guys like pooping the core and Cooper Cup.
Speaker 3: This is this is Hey, this is a serious matchup
Speaker 3: man that I can't I cannot, man, I can't say.
Speaker 3: I don't want you. I just want you to focus
Speaker 3: on this week. You got coming here next month to
Speaker 3: d Matt.
Speaker 2: This is the same thing. You know we were talking
Speaker 2: about against Arizona. I'm just telling you what the same way,
Speaker 2: the same way. Man. I don't know. This guy won't
Speaker 2: let me live.
Speaker 3: But what we're gonna do, We're gonna take a break,
Speaker 3: we're gonna come back, and we're gonna talk about at

Speaker 2: Yeah Let's Go segment for the last segment of.
Speaker 3: The Players Lounge Becman Harrison's Barry Church.
Speaker 2: Now, y'all all right, so we have to buy week.
Speaker 3: We evaluated positions, We talked about potential, you know, trade
Speaker 3: deadline everything. Guys, there's a position group that you have
Speaker 3: in mind that you're like, look, they had to have
Speaker 3: gotten this corrected with the two weeks that they've had
Speaker 3: to look at this On Sunday. What's going to be
Speaker 3: that position group that you're going to say, Hey, I'm
Speaker 3: looking at these guys to see what the bye week
Speaker 3: did for them.
Speaker 2: What group is that?
Speaker 5: Then?
Speaker 3: Does it just have to be one or is it
Speaker 3: the quarterback receiver connection? Just your show, because I want
Speaker 3: to say the receiver group, but I just feel like
Speaker 3: the connection between the quarterback and the receiver is where
Speaker 3: we're there's a disconnect there, right because we know that
Speaker 3: we have the talent and the skill to be to
Speaker 3: be more efficient and more and more dynamic, more explosive
Speaker 3: than we have been so far this season. So hopefully
Speaker 3: they're not a position group, but Dak and his receivers
Speaker 3: are more on the same page about what they need
Speaker 3: to do in order to be more exposive than they've
Speaker 3: been so far to season. Man, that's that's a big
Speaker 3: one because I believe over the first six games that's
Speaker 3: been the biggest disconnect between this offense. They have not
Speaker 3: been on time, my man, Mike g hasn't been there.
Speaker 3: And that he's been, He's receiving a lot of heat
Speaker 3: and they gave him a lot of targets too. That's
Speaker 3: why I got three.
Speaker 2: Target, target and a catch.
Speaker 3: That's all right, it wasn't me, but either way, but
Speaker 3: either way, that's a that's a position group. That that
Speaker 3: I agree with you man, that that that connection between
Speaker 3: Dak and his wide receivers. I don't know if he
Speaker 3: took him to Cabo what they had to do over the.
Speaker 2: Publicly, ain't they went to Sam's up the street, man,
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you. It's fun, all right, But either
Speaker 2: way that connection has to happen. B C, what about you.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the running game on this one.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's the old line, you know,
Speaker 4: whatever it is going there, or if it's Tony Poler division,
Speaker 4: whatever the case may be. Like when you talked about
Speaker 4: the connection between DAK this running game, just it's just
Speaker 4: not what I thought it might be going into the season.
Speaker 4: And we looked at Tony Pollard, there's a lot of
Speaker 4: question marks going into the year. You know, after that injury.
Speaker 4: Can he bounce back? Can he be that Bell Kyle guy?
Speaker 4: Can he be the guy that you know Zeke was
Speaker 4: for so many years, And not saying he gotta be
Speaker 4: that type of back, but kind of the same level
Speaker 4: of production, and we just haven't seen it. If you
Speaker 4: look out here the last two games, twenty three carries
Speaker 4: fifty nine yards in the last two games. So I
Speaker 4: don't know if it's lack of him getting the attempts
Speaker 4: or getting whatever in the passing game, running game, whatever
Speaker 4: it is, but he's just not producing. And I just
Speaker 4: would love to see more from Tony Polter and this
Speaker 4: running game because feel like that's when you get the
Speaker 4: best Dallas Cowboys offense, when they're balanced out there and
Speaker 4: it's not just all on one individual.
Speaker 2: So to me, hey, this run game it speaks for himself.
Speaker 2: The last two games, very with it.
Speaker 3: I remember when Zeke's numbers looked like that, and I
Speaker 3: remember Barry, you did not take it easy on Zeke
Speaker 3: like that. Okay, oh man, but this man said, twenty three.
Speaker 2: Cardion over it? Wait up?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 4: But no?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: When when if Zeke was here his numbers look like that?
Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm talking about it. Would they would have
Speaker 3: been throwing a fit. I can't believe. Not just you,
Speaker 3: I'm talking about just people in general. Because what happens
Speaker 3: is when you think about Tony poland you think about
Speaker 3: how explosive he is, you're thinking about four or five
Speaker 3: yards of carry exactly.
Speaker 2: That ain't that too?
Speaker 3: So like yeah, so like it has it has to
Speaker 3: pick up because like the stylar ball you want to
Speaker 3: play is I'm going to lean on my defense by
Speaker 3: helping them and us keeping the ball, by running it
Speaker 3: in short and moving this fix twenty three cars fifty
Speaker 3: some of yards and that ain't even that should.
Speaker 4: Be one game, twenty three carries or near near with
Speaker 4: it when you talk about receiving and running, but twenty
Speaker 4: three over two games, that's that's bad.
Speaker 2: That's not gonna cut it.
Speaker 3: The thing is when you see somebody like CEMC have
Speaker 3: a game like that, the imprint that he has outside
Speaker 3: of just running, it's huge. Right, you got three touchdowns
Speaker 3: on three catches for you know whatever. So like, if
Speaker 3: you're not getting the yards that we are expecting five
Speaker 3: point your five point whatever yards are carry then yeah,
Speaker 3: you got to be catches a touchdown, being a difference
Speaker 3: maker in the passing game, whatever that is or else.
Speaker 2: You know, So we in trouble.
Speaker 4: If we look at the forty nine ers, he had
Speaker 4: to see eight rushes and you know, four receptions, so
Speaker 4: that's twelve.
Speaker 2: That's twelve touches total for a guy that is explosive
Speaker 2: as as a tony part of it is. I just
Speaker 2: you know, I would love to see more of it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: In the LA game was a little bit more. He
Speaker 4: had fifteen rushes and six receptions. The six receptions went
Speaker 4: for eighty but there was one play where it was
Speaker 4: kind of a scramble broke down one on that one
Speaker 4: from behind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna see that some of the fast guys
Speaker 2: in the league.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, but I'm gonna say I'm gonna say this,
Speaker 3: and that's where I was going uh b C. I
Speaker 3: was going with the running back position. I thought that
Speaker 3: Tony Poller was the one player that needed the bye week.
Speaker 3: He needed the bye week because Tony Poller man and
Speaker 3: a lot of points this done those six games. I
Speaker 3: was like, man, he's he running like he already in
Speaker 3: mid season for him, you know. And I agree that
Speaker 3: the touch is if they don't come in the form
Speaker 3: of running the ball, we need to at least expose
Speaker 3: him as a as a wide receiver. And and I
Speaker 3: think you saw that two weeks ago, but it was
Speaker 3: you got all the yardage on one play. But either way,
Speaker 3: that's the kind of imprint that you want for Tony
Speaker 3: Poller to have. But he has to have more of
Speaker 3: an imprint in the running game because what does that do.
Speaker 3: That keeps the clock running, that keeps keeps your defense fresh.
Speaker 3: And for all the things that Mike McCarthy has promised
Speaker 3: about this offense, we've seen it work to perfection when
Speaker 3: it has that balance like you just spoke of, and
Speaker 3: then the defense can just come in there and hunt
Speaker 3: and do.
Speaker 4: What they do.
Speaker 3: But man, I'm telling you this, there's there's some pressure
Speaker 3: on the defense too. There's some pressure on the defense.
Speaker 3: No matter what, there's some pressure on the defense, and
Speaker 3: there's some pressure on Michael Parsons. I believe that Michael
Speaker 3: Parsons and his production and what you thought would be
Speaker 3: by now you hadn't seen it. And maybe it's because
Speaker 3: of the double teams. Maybe it's because of the way
Speaker 3: the teams are playing him. Let's see if dan Quinn,
Speaker 3: Let's see if dan Quinn has reformulated anything with number
Speaker 3: eleven and found what found a way?
Speaker 2: Come on, man, I got I got two things real quick. Okay.
Speaker 3: You talked about Tony Pauler need a by week in
Speaker 3: week six they ain't playing no preseason and he got.
Speaker 2: How many more games left without a bye week? Man?
Speaker 3: Man, because that's the case that he in trouble. And
Speaker 3: how they blocking Michael Parsons.
Speaker 2: I just I just can't. I can't do it anymore.
Speaker 3: Okay, we said thing, watch Miles Gearedtt have two tight
Speaker 3: ends follow him from left to right. I mean, uh,
Speaker 3: they got to lay a game because they was way
Speaker 3: trying to figure out who it was gonna be at.
Speaker 3: When you talk about Michael Parsons and we say, okay,
Speaker 3: how about this, where is he now in in the
Speaker 3: uh in the Defensive Player of the Year vote, what
Speaker 3: do you think, like, how is he at the top
Speaker 3: or behind who? Miles geared t j yt right, So
Speaker 3: is it close right now? Is it close based off
Speaker 3: what you've seen from those from those two and then
Speaker 3: right now is running away with it and my estimation,
Speaker 3: but just with the way that he's playing. I mean,
Speaker 3: and these are two miles Miles just jumped over.
Speaker 2: Let me just say this.
Speaker 3: And when I look at those two guys and I
Speaker 3: just do the schematics on them much bigger and they
Speaker 3: played a different scheme than than he.
Speaker 2: Then we've had this conversation if Teaser playing.
Speaker 3: In the three four verse playing in the four to
Speaker 3: three And I don't know if Dan is gonna ever
Speaker 3: get around to that as long as he's coaching and michaeh,
Speaker 3: but maybe that's the best position for him in this
Speaker 3: defense versus moving him all around the way that.
Speaker 4: But he'd have to be bigger. I'm gonna say, you
Speaker 4: can't just line him up in one. Absolutely, he'd have
Speaker 4: to be bigger.
Speaker 3: And I think the guys that you're talking about are
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ this, I mean, what is this guy from
Speaker 3: from Cleveland May up. But when he's playing defensive line,
Speaker 3: that's not de fault. You know, he's a guy playing
Speaker 3: what I what I want to see. I want to
Speaker 3: see more usage of Michael Parsons. Guys, I'm telling you
Speaker 3: go back and watch the tape. Michael was lining up
Speaker 3: at the one technique like in a three point stance.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's the best way to use no
Speaker 3: but leve. I know he's good, but is he one technique?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 2: Look?
Speaker 3: Those are just some questions that I have going into
Speaker 3: after this bye week. I'm gonna be looking at all
Speaker 3: of that. Man. But this was a good show. Good
Speaker 3: show man. He knew he will be back tomorrow. He
Speaker 3: is making his way back from Houston, probably smelling like champagne.
Speaker 3: And that's all he at the breakfast club, wobbles and
Speaker 3: drinks and all type of stuff he.
Speaker 2: Ain't not do.
Speaker 3: That's the players last man. We'll be back to mind
Speaker 3: two o'clock. Thank you for rocking Winners.
