Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the players
Speaker 1: label broadcasting line from Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 1: Now your hosts, Barry Church, Danny McCray, and Newe Scrugs
Speaker 1: Football Friday here all the Players Lounge, brought to you
Speaker 1: by Hotels dot Com. Hell me right here, But do it.
Speaker 1: I didn't do it. I didn't do it. You know
Speaker 1: it is what it is, all right. I'm Newis Scrugs,
Speaker 1: longtime Cowboys reporter, joined by two four Dallas Cowboys players,
Speaker 1: Barry Church and Danny McCray. Fellas, I have the all
Speaker 1: statistic that we need for this Cowboys Sporting nine Ers
Speaker 1: game at at and T Stadium on Sunday's the only
Speaker 1: one we need. I got it. I got it. I thought.
Speaker 1: I thought you was about to say the only one
Speaker 1: you need from from yesterday, because I think you to
Speaker 1: all of them who paid Rome for the Thursday night game,
Speaker 1: I thought, that's the stat that you them to show it.
Speaker 1: You want to start there, Ok, we start there. I
Speaker 1: would love it to start there. I would let's start there.
Speaker 1: Let's start there. So the Thursday Night football game Church
Speaker 1: went Chargers twenty seven twenty one because of his fantasy team.
Speaker 1: So the only reason why it was all about about
Speaker 1: his fast team, which which justin Herbert performed well. So
Speaker 1: good for you. Good for you with self interest is good. Uh.
Speaker 1: D Mac was very close. D Mac picked it thirty
Speaker 1: one twenty eight Chargers. He was correct, and I was
Speaker 1: the only one who had some faith in Rod Marinelli
Speaker 1: a thirty to ninety four and unfortunately, unfortunately for me,
Speaker 1: after after we finished with the podcast, I turned on
Speaker 1: NFL Network and then I looked at all the dudes
Speaker 1: who weren't playing for the Raiders, like, oh, okay, I missed.
Speaker 1: I messed up on this one, and yeah, that defense
Speaker 1: was Look I give Rod credit. I mean, they didn't
Speaker 1: give up forty five. They ain't forty five weeks before,
Speaker 1: so at least he got it down a little bit.
Speaker 1: But the Raiders were outmatched. And the good thing, okay,
Speaker 1: here's the positive thing. Besides you guys winning Thursday night football,
Speaker 1: the most positive aspect was that the Chargers one, which
Speaker 1: means the Cowboys now had the fourth overall pick in
Speaker 1: the draft right now, So yay Chargers. Good for the
Speaker 1: good for the balls. All right, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: They might be in the playoffs. Oh boy, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. Listen, okay, listen, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Last night was a clear, shining example of how they
Speaker 1: take no prisoners in the NFL. If you got to
Speaker 1: watch the game last night and you watched number twenty
Speaker 1: seven for the Oakland Raiders, I mean, for the Las
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, they found him. They found him early, They
Speaker 1: found him in the middle of the game, and they
Speaker 1: found him late. If he was playing, man, if he
Speaker 1: was playing a zone, if he was blitzing, they found
Speaker 1: him and they took advantage of that matchup the entire game,
Speaker 1: to the points where I was like, man, I feel
Speaker 1: bad for him, But that's the league. Man. If they
Speaker 1: found a weakness out there, they are going to attack you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was a big weakness. And I was talking to
Speaker 1: a couple of my offensive buddies and they call it
Speaker 1: a big fish. Now, when you get a fish on
Speaker 1: a defense, you don't let go of that hookie. You
Speaker 1: don't let go of that fish. You keep rilling them in.
Speaker 1: And that's what they did to my boy twenty seven
Speaker 1: out there. I felt bad. I mean every time Herbert
Speaker 1: dropped back. He was looking at twenty seven direction. No
Speaker 1: matter if he had good coverage or not, he was
Speaker 1: launching it his way. And I just felt bad for
Speaker 1: the guy because it's like he just you could tell
Speaker 1: in his body language that he was like, man, no
Speaker 1: matter what I do out here, they're either gonna throw
Speaker 1: the flag on me or they're gonna get a completion.
Speaker 1: Even when he made a great play on it and
Speaker 1: kind of almost got the interception in the back of
Speaker 1: the end zone, they said he was out of bounds.
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing could go right for this man yesterday,
Speaker 1: and they just kept picking on him. I just don't
Speaker 1: understand why they didn't send help his way. That's like
Speaker 1: when in Tampa Bay went when Tyreek Hill was launching
Speaker 1: those deep bass from one hundred and ninety six yards
Speaker 1: in the first half, and they didn't give Carlton Davis
Speaker 1: any help. This is the same situation. You see it.
Speaker 1: Guys out there struggling rod Man, go help him out,
Speaker 1: put a safe hill over top of him. Mercy but Church,
Speaker 1: but Church, but Church. When they when they put him
Speaker 1: in his zone, like the drive that Herbert went down
Speaker 1: there right before halftime, My man was running Cover two,
Speaker 1: leaving the safety out to drive. You know, when you
Speaker 1: playing a cover two, it's a cornerback. You're supposed to
Speaker 1: play deep to short. My man was playing short to
Speaker 1: deep and Herbert was just hitting him on the seven route,
Speaker 1: that corner route, right right in between the safety in
Speaker 1: the corner. And I'm looking at the dude like, I'll
Speaker 1: be so mad at you, bro, how many times are
Speaker 1: you gonna let this happened to me? And they and
Speaker 1: he hit him a touchdown on the same play back
Speaker 1: to back. I'm like, bro, well, I don't know what
Speaker 1: he's doing out there, because for all reviews that don't
Speaker 1: know when you're playing, when you're playing cover for two
Speaker 1: as a safety, you got that whole deep path. Now,
Speaker 1: if that Wade receiver runs a seven route, which is
Speaker 1: kind of a corner route, you gotta have that corner
Speaker 1: underneath because you can't jump them too quick because he's
Speaker 1: able to run a banana seven, which is a fake
Speaker 1: post corner, and you snap it back to the post
Speaker 1: and if you cross the safety's face, it's a dun dotta,
Speaker 1: it's a touchdown. So I can understand now why those
Speaker 1: safeties kind of left him out the drag because he
Speaker 1: was doing the same thing to them in that cover
Speaker 1: two looks. So it is what it is. I was
Speaker 1: at the Mavericks game, so I did not get to
Speaker 1: watch Herbert go to work yesterday, but I definitely want
Speaker 1: to say this, I was wrong about justin Herbert as
Speaker 1: a quarterback. That this kid has a very bright future.
Speaker 1: And whatever GM, Tom Telesco and the Spanos ownership decides
Speaker 1: to do with Anthony Lynn and I don't think they're
Speaker 1: gonna bring him back as the head coach. They need
Speaker 1: to make sure that they can secure the services of
Speaker 1: Pep Hamilton, because what Pep Hamilton the quarterback coach, or
Speaker 1: the charges he's done with this young man has been
Speaker 1: nothing short of fantastic this year. Um, he's been a
Speaker 1: metch a much better rookie than to a tung of yoloa. Um.
Speaker 1: And this kid just has a bright feature really like
Speaker 1: with what he's done. Quick question, Now, I had a
Speaker 1: cool question for you since you bring up to AH,
Speaker 1: do you feel as though there's any resentment down in
Speaker 1: Miami thinking they should have picked Herbert over to U? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, hey understand without a question. Uh, look, this
Speaker 1: is the natural thing amongst any fan base, Okay, I
Speaker 1: mean you just think about in Miami, they're like, man,
Speaker 1: we should have took Justin Herbert Um Here it's man,
Speaker 1: she took t J. Watt, but you got Taco Charleston.
Speaker 1: Every every franchise, every fan base has got some player
Speaker 1: that man. You know, in Chicago, it's like, man could
Speaker 1: have had Patrick Mahomes, could have had Deshan Watson. So
Speaker 1: every fan base is looking at a key player's team. Man,
Speaker 1: we got him and we could have had him. Hello,
Speaker 1: that's true. I mean look at Minnesota. Look look at Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Minnesota took jeff Jefferson. They're happy. And Philadelphia that man
Speaker 1: because they didn't take Jefferson because they took Rager and Stins.
Speaker 1: But every fan base got there. I mean in Oakland,
Speaker 1: in Oakland, they're like, man, John Grew and you took
Speaker 1: Henry Rudds. We could have had Jefferson, could have had
Speaker 1: you could have had CD Lamp. I mean that's just
Speaker 1: how it goes. Yeah, this is this is another clear
Speaker 1: example of how the NFL works. Church brings up the
Speaker 1: word resentment. The person who really should be resentful is
Speaker 1: my guy, Tyrod Taylor. Because if it wasn't for the
Speaker 1: medical staff charges, we would have never known about just
Speaker 1: the Herbert this year. And it just so happened that
Speaker 1: next man up thing, that the next man up in
Speaker 1: the NFL. That's what got Justin Herbert, and now he's
Speaker 1: a starting on Churches fantasy football team got him leaning
Speaker 1: right now in the semifinals. So I mean, I feel
Speaker 1: bad for Tyrod Taylor. I'll be resentful. I'll be looking
Speaker 1: for a way to try to do somebody up there, man,
Speaker 1: because that that might have been his last shot to
Speaker 1: be a starter in the NFL. You are correct, You
Speaker 1: are correct. If anything Tyrod agents said, hey man, look
Speaker 1: all these and sent is that my man could have gotten.
Speaker 1: You need to just go ahead and pay it right
Speaker 1: a check for them all, you know. And I would
Speaker 1: hope the Chargers do the right thing there with Tyrod Taylor,
Speaker 1: considering that they're their medical saff punctured the guys lung
Speaker 1: and he couldn't play and he lost his job. But
Speaker 1: most of all, going back to the point, you guys
Speaker 1: were right, the Chargers won the game. I was wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm happy because the Chargers now means the Cowboys have
Speaker 1: the fourth overall pick in the draft the Cowboy. That's
Speaker 1: about that's really going to be as good as the
Speaker 1: Cowboys can do. They're not gonna get top three pick.
Speaker 1: Jets are over Barry's Jacksonville Jaguars have one win, the
Speaker 1: Builders have two wins. The Cowboys beat the Bengals, So
Speaker 1: so four is gonna be the best the Cowboys can
Speaker 1: do at this point. Cowboys facing the forty nine Ers
Speaker 1: on Sunday, twelve o'clock at and T Stadium. Gentlemen, I
Speaker 1: bringing out this number right here to me, this is
Speaker 1: the whole ball game, and I'm looking at San Francisco
Speaker 1: twelve turnovers in their last five games. Okay, twelve turnovers.
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins, the quarterback of the Niners, is a turnover machine,
Speaker 1: all right. Against Washington, he had a pick. It was
Speaker 1: a was a pick six. They had three turnovers against
Speaker 1: Washington last week before that, two turnovers as an offense
Speaker 1: against Buffalo, Mullins had two picks in that game against
Speaker 1: the Rams. Three forty nine are turnovers. Mullins had an
Speaker 1: interception against the Saints. Four forty nine are turnovers. Two
Speaker 1: picks by Mullins, and then before that two turnovers against
Speaker 1: Green Bay and an interception by Mullins. This is their
Speaker 1: last five games. They give the ball away. Mike Nolan,
Speaker 1: your defense has to come up with turnovers, Okay, they
Speaker 1: have to. You have got Nick Mullins is trying to
Speaker 1: give them away. Now you gotta go get you some.
Speaker 1: I mean this is the getting. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: the get right game. Man. Yes, the statman Church, we
Speaker 1: got the stat man here. NUIs that see? Those type
Speaker 1: of things right there are so misleading? All right, because
Speaker 1: let me tell you the common thing that all those
Speaker 1: teams that you just named could do stop the run.
Speaker 1: That's why Nick Mullers is out there throwing interceptions, because
Speaker 1: they were able to stop the run and play some
Speaker 1: real tight defense, get these guys behind and force them
Speaker 1: to have to throw the ball. What can't we do
Speaker 1: stop the run? So I don't I don't expect to
Speaker 1: see Nick Mullers out there throwing that many balls and
Speaker 1: having given us that many opportunities to in the symptoms.
Speaker 1: So you know that's those stats. They can they can
Speaker 1: do you that way because you just named some pretty
Speaker 1: top flight defenses that in those in those five games,
Speaker 1: every everybody probably besides Green Bay. Um, Yeah, and everybody's
Speaker 1: making the playoffs pretty much that Washington only if. But
Speaker 1: but everybody Buffalo's in the Rams will be in sort
Speaker 1: saying tern and Green Bay those are their last five
Speaker 1: games to get bet against playoff teams. But still, if
Speaker 1: I'm Mike Nolan, that's what I'm preaching this week is, look,
Speaker 1: we got to find a way to get our hands
Speaker 1: on some footballs. They did that against Cincinnati. I know
Speaker 1: it's Cincinnati, but you know they did. You try to
Speaker 1: make a fit, you know, you know, you never know
Speaker 1: never No, I mean the forty nine ers have had
Speaker 1: to practice and play in Arizona, UM, so they've been
Speaker 1: out there because they can't play in Santa Clara. So
Speaker 1: I mean this is I would say, there's the opportunity
Speaker 1: for a victory. Is there capitalizing that it's a whole
Speaker 1: different thing, But there's an opportunity for a victory here.
Speaker 1: There's definitely an opportunity, especially you know, if they got
Speaker 1: Mulls out there, Who's who's a turnover machine? Like you said,
Speaker 1: But for me to focus with this defense, they've they've
Speaker 1: got to do something they haven't done all season, and
Speaker 1: that's pretty much play okay, run devise. They're gonna have
Speaker 1: to find a way to stop the running. The reason
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be extremely hard. As you got
Speaker 1: arguably one of the best creative coaches is in the
Speaker 1: game and Kyle Shanahan who specializes in running the ball,
Speaker 1: and it's just creative ways and what we've seen that
Speaker 1: hurts the Dallas Cowboys and confuses our linebackers and confuses
Speaker 1: our defense. It's guys who can run run with creativity,
Speaker 1: pulling guards, ghosts, motions, counter sweeps, all that good stuff
Speaker 1: is what the forty nine ers do and it's something
Speaker 1: that we don't do very well and which is stopping
Speaker 1: that stuff. So for me, they're gonna have to figure
Speaker 1: out a way. And I think the way is they're
Speaker 1: just gonna have to stop playing try to play hero
Speaker 1: ball out there. I mean, we've seen it so many
Speaker 1: times within our front seven, especially our linebackers, they feel
Speaker 1: like they have to make every play out there instead
Speaker 1: of just doing their responsibilities and staying in their gaps.
Speaker 1: And I feel if they do that, if they if
Speaker 1: they trust their teammates out there to get their job
Speaker 1: done and have the responsibilities that they're supposed to take,
Speaker 1: I feel like we can play to run a little
Speaker 1: bit better. Not to be confused with great run defense,
Speaker 1: but I think we can play it a little bit
Speaker 1: better and we might be able to walk out of
Speaker 1: here with the back to back dubs, something we haven't
Speaker 1: done all seasons. So we'll see what happens. You mean,
Speaker 1: Mike McArthur ain't done of years, true quick, twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: I mean, these these are We're not killing him. These
Speaker 1: these are simple facts. Mike Nolan is not, if any
Speaker 1: head coach of a football team that's won back to
Speaker 1: back game since twenty seventeen. Those two games they beat
Speaker 1: Cleveland and overtime. Cleveland went on to finish oh in sixteen,
Speaker 1: and then the next week they beat Tampa Bay in overtime.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay went on to finish five to eleven. The
Speaker 1: head coach Tampa Bay Dirt Cutter. He's no longer there.
Speaker 1: That head coach for Cleveland Browns was Hugh Jackson. He's
Speaker 1: no longer there. So so that is that. But look,
Speaker 1: do we have no faith in the Mike Nolan revenge
Speaker 1: game that Mike Nolan is facing the former team, the
Speaker 1: last team he was a head coach. Other that Mike
Speaker 1: Nolan may not want to bring the pain, make a
Speaker 1: pay for firing him. Why do you get fired? It
Speaker 1: wasn't justified because you're talking about getting revenge. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was justified. Ain't no revenge. You can't get no
Speaker 1: revenge for justice any high work. I mean, I'm just saying.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, man, I'm just saying. Man. You know
Speaker 1: it could be you know, I mean, I'm just asking,
Speaker 1: just asking, just asking. Okay, Okay, alright, let's see. Let's
Speaker 1: take our first break. Um, there will be some Cowboys
Speaker 1: returning on Sunday. Um, what about Ezekiel Elliot, Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: saying that he's behind where he was last week and
Speaker 1: getting ready for this football game. Let's dive into the

Speaker 1: virtual home studios here for the players lines up new
Speaker 1: he scrugs a long time Cowboys report to join by
Speaker 1: former Dallas Cowboys players Danny McCray and Barry Church. All right, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: let's go over a couple of Cowboys player issues coming
Speaker 1: up for Sunday one. Zeke Elliott, he's dealing with a
Speaker 1: cap injury. Jerry Jones said on his radio show today
Speaker 1: he expects Zeke to play. Mike McCarthy said to the
Speaker 1: media he expects him to play as well. Said that
Speaker 1: McCarthy said, Zeke's a little bit behind in terms of
Speaker 1: playing because last week he was injured and played, so
Speaker 1: he's saying hey, because he played, He's not where he
Speaker 1: needs to be, but they expect him to play. Xavier Woods,
Speaker 1: safety has a growing injury. M Mike McCarthy said he
Speaker 1: expects him to play. And then three cornerbacks that day.
Speaker 1: Mark McCarthy said he is optimistic about them being back.
Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs the rookie with a foot, Donovan Wilson the
Speaker 1: safety with a growing and Anthony Brown with a rib
Speaker 1: injury the corner there. All right, McCray, I'll start with you,
Speaker 1: which one of these guys concerns you for Sunday not
Speaker 1: being say it would be Zeke. It will be Zeke
Speaker 1: because well, I think so we really only have Zeke
Speaker 1: and Tony Poler, and I still think Zeke is the
Speaker 1: tone setter as far as being able to punish the
Speaker 1: defenders and helping the old line tire those guys out
Speaker 1: on defense. So I think that would be the biggest one.
Speaker 1: I hope that Mike McCarthy comes up with a different,
Speaker 1: different phrase, you know, besides using these guys are behind,
Speaker 1: because I remember he said that about Layo Collins and
Speaker 1: then he missed the whole season, and he said that
Speaker 1: about Tyrn Smith. He missed the whole season. So I
Speaker 1: want him to say something different about Zeke. Just say that,
Speaker 1: you know, he's feeling a little worse than he felt
Speaker 1: last week, but he's gonna be okay because he's making
Speaker 1: me nervous with this. Tony Poler is ready, but I
Speaker 1: don't think he's ready carried out the entire load for
Speaker 1: our team on Sunday. Yeah, for me, what the player
Speaker 1: that you know, I would I'm kind of worried about her.
Speaker 1: I want to see go out there and play good
Speaker 1: and that you know kind of mess things up. Is
Speaker 1: its Trayvon Digs. I mean I saw him, you know,
Speaker 1: throughout this season. Yes, he had a lot of ups
Speaker 1: and downs. He gave up a lot of balls, but
Speaker 1: he also you know, made a lot of plays out
Speaker 1: there and he still leads the team and pass deflections
Speaker 1: and interceptions, and I just don't want him to go
Speaker 1: out there and reaggravate something or mess something up, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to cause it, you know, offseason surgery.
Speaker 1: Then he's late for the off season training and all
Speaker 1: that stuff, and he gets a set back that way.
Speaker 1: I don't want him to go out there and reaggravate something.
Speaker 1: So if he does go out there, I just hope
Speaker 1: that he's one hundred percent fully ready to go and
Speaker 1: he protects himself out there. Now, these all these injuries
Speaker 1: coming up on a report, it kind of brings me
Speaker 1: back to something mccraie said a couple of weeks back,
Speaker 1: when the playoffs, you know, kind of get out of rap.
Speaker 1: We kind of see a lot of guys, kind of
Speaker 1: a lot of veteran start to pop up on that
Speaker 1: on that injury resort or that injured list, saying, Oh,
Speaker 1: I got a calf here, or I got a strain here.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll be able to play this game.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's your thoughts about that. Mccraig, Yeah, listen,
Speaker 1: you know, I think we probably get into it later
Speaker 1: in the show about our playoff chances, but I think
Speaker 1: they're just set it up a little bit, right. So
Speaker 1: once you get to the and you know, if you're
Speaker 1: really not in the playoffs, then all of a sud
Speaker 1: you say, remember that calf injury I had. You know,
Speaker 1: if you let me, you know what, let me, let
Speaker 1: me start, let me stop, let me. I'm just using
Speaker 1: Zeken example. I'm not saying that it's not really hurt,
Speaker 1: but the injury that I had a few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, oh yeah, yeah, now it's a
Speaker 1: little bit more serious and I don't think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be able to finish finish the season out. I see
Speaker 1: y'all next year, though, So you know sometimes that sometimes
Speaker 1: it is that way, you know, and I hate the
Speaker 1: questions and motives with some of these players, but listen,
Speaker 1: me and Church have been there. You know, we've been
Speaker 1: in those sub voices to where you're really playing for
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. A lot of times, your your spot is
Speaker 1: solidified on the team for next year, so nothing's gonna
Speaker 1: happen to you, and you're just like, look, I just
Speaker 1: want to go out here and be healthy going into
Speaker 1: the all season so I can get ready and you know,
Speaker 1: and have a better impact next year. So you know,
Speaker 1: it's in some of these guys minds. We'll see how
Speaker 1: it plays out over the next three weeks. Though you
Speaker 1: ain't lying about that, it's one hundred percent true. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say no names, but as being McCray
Speaker 1: went through our seasons here with the Cowboys and other teams.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen guys with du've had a sprained finger,
Speaker 1: like I don't even know how you spraying finger. They
Speaker 1: had like a sprained finger and a little and they
Speaker 1: had a little splint on the end of that. I
Speaker 1: can't go this week, man, I just can't do it.
Speaker 1: But as soon as the season is over, I see
Speaker 1: him in Miami out there passing the ball around like
Speaker 1: it's hilarious. Man. But it does happen. It does happen. Listen,
Speaker 1: listen in Church, Church, Church, you should be trade. You
Speaker 1: should be his agent. Bro, you sound like his agent. Listen, Bro, Like,
Speaker 1: take your foot off the gas. You ended off good.
Speaker 1: I want you to make sure you keep stacking up
Speaker 1: this stuff so we can get paid in a few years. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, starting negotiating with New he scrub New. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be negotiating and Church is gonna be the agent
Speaker 1: and Trade budd is gonna be getting paid in two
Speaker 1: years before its time is even up. I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to help the young brother out. So so let me
Speaker 1: ask this, and and I'm looking at Ezekielic with the
Speaker 1: cap right now, he's eighth in the NFL rushing. He's
Speaker 1: got eight hundred and thirty two yards. He's averaging sixty
Speaker 1: four yards the game right now. So looking for three
Speaker 1: more games, um my bad Bath says one hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety two yards. If that's where the average is the
Speaker 1: next three games, that puts him over a thousand yards.
Speaker 1: How important is that to someone like Ezekiel Elliot as
Speaker 1: a running back, to have a thousand york season. I
Speaker 1: think I think it's important. I mean because look, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have thought he had that much. I mean, until
Speaker 1: you said he had, you know what he has now,
Speaker 1: I would have thought he was around five hundred and
Speaker 1: six hundred or something around there. He's had a quiet year.
Speaker 1: But if he's able to go over a thousand yards
Speaker 1: with the with the offsive line impacted, how how it's
Speaker 1: been so far this season and all these injuries, if
Speaker 1: he's still able to go over a thousand yards, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty impressive. I mean because because we've
Speaker 1: been dogging him, and rightfully so. He's had a lot
Speaker 1: of fumbles, and he's been a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: four yards in a cloud of dust, and he hasn't
Speaker 1: really made a lot of splash plays out there. But
Speaker 1: if he's able to go over a thousand with all
Speaker 1: these decimated injuries on the offensive line, I would say
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive. Oh how many? How many? He said
Speaker 1: he needs one hundred and ninety two yards, So even
Speaker 1: at the average, no, no, no, no no, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying I'm looking at eight thirty two and his average
Speaker 1: is sixty four yards. So if he just hits his
Speaker 1: average for the next three games, that will give him
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety two yards. Listen, man, listen, and
Speaker 1: if you get the average, that'll put him over a thousand.
Speaker 1: I listen. I love you Church, I love you Church.
Speaker 1: But I think that it's almost a little bit too
Speaker 1: easy to get a thousand yards in sixteen games. All right, listen,
Speaker 1: sixty something yards a game in ninety million bucks. Listen.
Speaker 1: He should not be happy with a thousand. He should
Speaker 1: be getting twelve, thirteen hundred. I think that's somewhere around
Speaker 1: the area. When you say Listen, even though we had
Speaker 1: a bad season, you know, I got thirteen hundred yards,
Speaker 1: but a thousand it just seems like you said, we
Speaker 1: talked about having three one thousand yard receivers. It just
Speaker 1: doesn't see that like a lot. With all the injuries,
Speaker 1: even with all the injuries on the on the whole line,
Speaker 1: it's still the sixty yards a game. Bro. It just
Speaker 1: it doesn't even sound Man, how many how many how
Speaker 1: many yards you average per game last year? Man, sixty?
Speaker 1: You'll be like, man on what it doesn't It doesn't
Speaker 1: sound good. That's that's not what the agent was selling.
Speaker 1: That's not what he was selling when he was asking.
Speaker 1: But I believe this week would either be the second
Speaker 1: or just the third time all year long they've been
Speaker 1: able to run out the same offensive line combination on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So it's been a challenging year. You talk about playing
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks, it's been hard. It has definitely been hard
Speaker 1: for him. I'm looking over at Laurie Cooper right now.
Speaker 1: Coops has got nine hundred forty two yards in thirteen
Speaker 1: games here, and he has nine hundred twenty nine hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty four nine hundred forty two nine hundred forty
Speaker 1: two for for for Cooper, and see, to me, that's
Speaker 1: more impressive than a Zeke going for a thousand because
Speaker 1: they just look at the quarterbacks he's had to play
Speaker 1: with out there. I mean, for one game he went
Speaker 1: out there with with the Nucci, with the Nucci out there.
Speaker 1: So I think that for him going over a thousand
Speaker 1: a receiver, I think that'd be more impressive just to
Speaker 1: see just how many quarterback seas have already went through.
Speaker 1: So I think that'd be a little bit more impressive. Yeah. Right,
Speaker 1: and right now, there are only ten guys in the league.
Speaker 1: They have got a thousand yards above receiving right now.
Speaker 1: So it's just ten guys with um Robbie Anderson at eleven,
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen at twelve, Darren Waller thirteen. Cooper's sitting here
Speaker 1: at fourteen right now. In terms of get you know,
Speaker 1: trying to get the thousand yards, Cooper's gonna end up
Speaker 1: having a statistically mestatistical standpoint, He's gonna have one of
Speaker 1: his best seasons that he's had his career this year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's just what they able to get him the ball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I see that. That's how those stats fool you. Man,
Speaker 1: you gotta watch the game because because the stats look great,
Speaker 1: you go back and look at it without watching the
Speaker 1: games and you're like, oh man, this dude was balling.
Speaker 1: And then you watch the game, You're like, they ain't
Speaker 1: even throw them the ball the second half of this game.
Speaker 1: They didn't throw the ball the first half of this game.
Speaker 1: We evenly had two targets like what are we doing?
Speaker 1: You know, like, stats can fool you and and I
Speaker 1: hate I hate it because us they'll be able to
Speaker 1: pull all these stats up next year and say, all right, listen,
Speaker 1: we did get Coop involved, and these are the numbers
Speaker 1: to prove it. But the people just watching the game
Speaker 1: and really dissecting it, they know that's not the case.
Speaker 1: So you're saying, at the end of the year, when
Speaker 1: we look at the numbers for Jalen Smith and he
Speaker 1: will probably lead the Cowboys and tackle one of the
Speaker 1: leading tackle leaders football league, Um, what will you say
Speaker 1: about that? Look that one go ahead. D MAC not
Speaker 1: gonna saying listen that that's just like saying, look, you know,
Speaker 1: a corner on the team and you lead the team
Speaker 1: in tackles, that ain't good. But everybody can be like,
Speaker 1: you got a lot of tackles, and you got if
Speaker 1: you lead the team in tackles in the cornerback, they
Speaker 1: mean they're thrown at you all day. If you like
Speaker 1: you're like like sometimes the status they just don't line up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jayla Smith might make some tackles. Then you got to
Speaker 1: put it in the statu how many yards down the
Speaker 1: field did you make the tackle? What they chased down tackles?
Speaker 1: What it is? What a instead of just going yeah,
Speaker 1: he had one hundred and sixty tackles, because we know
Speaker 1: our defense is bad, so you gotta look deeper into
Speaker 1: the stats in that he's second in the Football League.
Speaker 1: He's second in the National Football League and tackles by
Speaker 1: the way, gentleman, at a one hundred and twenty three,
Speaker 1: only Zach Cuttingham of Houston is ahead of him. M
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I think I think Jalen gets
Speaker 1: a little bad rap man. I think you know a
Speaker 1: lot of people take it just this person. This personal
Speaker 1: feeling about him is, you know, and I don't like
Speaker 1: how he handles himself, or I don't like how he
Speaker 1: does his postgame interviews, or how he's always out there
Speaker 1: swiping or endorsing his clear av us, but I think
Speaker 1: he gets a bad rap man. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: for the most part, I don't think he's played as
Speaker 1: bad as a lot of people would would go out
Speaker 1: there and say, has he been the best linebacker in
Speaker 1: the league? No, And has he regretted a little bit? Yes,
Speaker 1: I would say that, But I don't think he's played
Speaker 1: as bad as those people go out there and say
Speaker 1: me neither. I just I just don't. I'm just going
Speaker 1: against the stats, and I just I'm just encouraging people
Speaker 1: to look deeper into it because he said he's second
Speaker 1: in the league, and then all of a sudden you'd
Speaker 1: be like, oh, he was balling. He not. He ain't
Speaker 1: playing better than Deafen and White and Kuwan Alexander playing
Speaker 1: better than a lot of these linebacker duos that are
Speaker 1: out there who have less the less amount of tackles
Speaker 1: that he has, just because you look at the stats.
Speaker 1: So I'm just I'm just like going against the stats. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he hadn't been horrible, but our defense as a whole
Speaker 1: has been bad. So when you look at those stats,
Speaker 1: you have to look at it in his entirety and
Speaker 1: watch the game and see how those tackles came about.
Speaker 1: Same thing with pass reflection, the same thing with saxon
Speaker 1: quarterback persons. You got to look at the whole picture,
Speaker 1: you know what saying before you say, all right, just
Speaker 1: dude was baller because he had this money, just like
Speaker 1: you say, Zeke had a thousand yards. Well yeah, ever
Speaker 1: sixty years a game. It's not baller, boy, You're a
Speaker 1: tough critic. Boy, Danny mccraigtic tough critic. Okay, so your
Speaker 1: your bar for ninety million dollars or sixty years a game.
Speaker 1: Hey man, I'm just I'm just saying, you know, you're
Speaker 1: you're tough critic. I didn't say you were wrong. I
Speaker 1: say I just said you're tough. That's all. You know,
Speaker 1: you could be a tough critic. I didn't say, actually, actually,
Speaker 1: let me go a little let me go a little
Speaker 1: deeper than that. I'm gonna take you the map class,
Speaker 1: because the law they see this is averages, all right.
Speaker 1: So that means in some cases he could have had
Speaker 1: a honey yards in the game, and the next case
Speaker 1: he could have had twelve yards in the game. That
Speaker 1: is what stats do to you. Man. You have to
Speaker 1: go in there and you have to watch the entire
Speaker 1: game and see what that season played out to be,
Speaker 1: because something, like I said, the numbers a lot to
Speaker 1: you sometimes. So what is he a ninety million dollars back?
Speaker 1: He is a nine million dollars back. But but they're
Speaker 1: not They're not using him that way. I have no
Speaker 1: problem with the way Zeke is playing. Even if he
Speaker 1: lost a slight step, he's still headed. Heels over ninety
Speaker 1: per center. The backs this in the league. They're not
Speaker 1: using him the right way, the same thing. I feel
Speaker 1: the same way I feel about Cooper, and I've been
Speaker 1: preaching this the whole year. I'm not changing on it
Speaker 1: and I haven't switched. I'm watching the games and I
Speaker 1: still feel the same way. All right, let's take a break. Playoffs.

Speaker 1: who've been upset if he's not top sixty. I'm telling

Speaker 1: where they had it. But but but yes, okay, yes,
Speaker 1: Rogers number one. I mean to me, that's you know,
Speaker 1: you just right down twelve and then you just move on.
Speaker 1: So that's that's yeah. That that that That's how I
Speaker 1: feel feel about that. Okay. Um. The playoffs for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm doing restructs the longtime Cowboys reporter,
Speaker 1: joined by Barry Church and Danny mccraige, former Dallas Cowboys players.
Speaker 1: This players, not Cowboys, have two chances the playoffs, Slim
Speaker 1: and Nut. Slim is still alive. They have to the
Speaker 1: rest of their games. They got to win the rest
Speaker 1: of the games and then hope everybody else basically loses
Speaker 1: some games here. So but Church apparently not Church, you
Speaker 1: would offer it. But now you're trying to, you know,
Speaker 1: walk to the back door of the building to see
Speaker 1: if you can jump on the wagon. I mean, how
Speaker 1: are we working with you now? Hey, I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to go back to the back and see if my
Speaker 1: key cards still work. Man, that's it. I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to slide into the facility to see if my key
Speaker 1: card worked. I doubt it does though. I get that
Speaker 1: red blinking light when I try to put my key
Speaker 1: card against the thing again. Man, So I think it's
Speaker 1: over with, But they still got a shot. They still
Speaker 1: do you need a reminder, let me remind you, let
Speaker 1: me let me remind her, remind you before you get
Speaker 1: too deep until your until your point, all right, So
Speaker 1: the Cowboys need to do these things, all right. They
Speaker 1: need to win out versus San Francisco, the Eagles, and
Speaker 1: the Giants, and then they need the Giants to lose
Speaker 1: two which which is which is which is possible because
Speaker 1: the Giants have the Browns, the Ravens and then the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: And then they need Washington to lose all the rest
Speaker 1: of their games, which is against the Seahawks, the Panthers,
Speaker 1: and the Eagles. They need all that to happen for
Speaker 1: them to make the playoffs one starting with the fact
Speaker 1: that they have to win every single game for the
Speaker 1: rest of the season. So so what do you think. Oh, look, man,
Speaker 1: I give him, I give him a chance. I give him,
Speaker 1: I give him a thirty thirty five percent. Hear me out,
Speaker 1: hear me out, hear me out. So the first game
Speaker 1: you talk about San Francisco, you got a guy who
Speaker 1: newly just talked about Nick Mullins, who's a walking turnover machine. Yes,
Speaker 1: they're they're great. They're great at, you know, creative runways
Speaker 1: and making ability for their running backs to running ball
Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. But if we're able somehow
Speaker 1: some way to go ahead and kind of bottle that up,
Speaker 1: I can see us walking away in San Francisco. Would
Speaker 1: it does? And that brings me to New York. Now
Speaker 1: we already we already scraped New York once. We already
Speaker 1: scraped them up once, so we can do that again.
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing, there's nothing in my mind that says
Speaker 1: we can't beat New York. They're unstoppable. We can't beat them.
Speaker 1: And now that brings me the Philly. Philly scares me, man,
Speaker 1: because they got hurts out there, and we struggle against
Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks and the way he's doing this read option
Speaker 1: with Miles Sanders, it scares me. So that game, to me,
Speaker 1: is gonna be the deciding point, and I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. Man, forget it. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. They gonna win out. Now, well, Washington lose out,
Speaker 1: that's another story. But I think the Cowboys got a
Speaker 1: chance to win out. Hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 1: So you're saying I think you're saying the Cowboys go
Speaker 1: seven to nine and win the division? Chance? Will you
Speaker 1: back on that? No? No, I ain't saying they. I
Speaker 1: said they have a thirty five percent chance of winning
Speaker 1: the division. But thirty five what did we do to do? Say?
Speaker 1: The last seven. When's the last time your man, Big
Speaker 1: Mike won back to back games first half for everything,
Speaker 1: man seven, twenty seventeen. Okay, so the last time we
Speaker 1: did twenty seventeen. So they haven't won back to back
Speaker 1: games yet. So now you're saying they're about to go
Speaker 1: on a four game win, Street. They got a chance, man,
Speaker 1: They got a maybe he pulls out the watermelons again,
Speaker 1: maybe something happens, I know, but they got a chance.
Speaker 1: And that's all. Okay, So I just pulled it up here.
Speaker 1: I just pulled it up. The last time Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: as a head coach won three consecutive games was twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: They beat the Bengals in overtime, they beat the Bears,
Speaker 1: and they and they beat the Cowboys. They beat the
Speaker 1: Cowboys thirty five thirty one. That's the last time this
Speaker 1: dude won three straight games. Okay, Okay, Man, I just
Speaker 1: I just said it many man. Yeah. The thing that
Speaker 1: scares me is Washington, man, because I really don't think
Speaker 1: Washington's gonna lose out even with you know, Alex Smith
Speaker 1: being out there being hurt. You know, their front seven,
Speaker 1: especially their defensive line, they're playing lights out right now,
Speaker 1: Chase Young and those boys, they're getting after the quarterback
Speaker 1: like nobody else in the National Football League. So I
Speaker 1: think that's what's gonna hurt the cowboy was at the
Speaker 1: end of the day is I don't think Washington's gonna
Speaker 1: lose out, but Tabol's got to got a chance to
Speaker 1: win out. They do have a chance to win out
Speaker 1: and make things interesting. All Right, I'm gonna ask you guys,
Speaker 1: do you guys, do you guys ever bet the ponies,
Speaker 1: bet the hoop the pon? You guys ever go to
Speaker 1: the race track? Have you ever bet? You've never done it? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, it's it's It is an addictive It is
Speaker 1: an addictive thing. It's really cool. So if you've never
Speaker 1: done it, man, definitely get out there and do it.
Speaker 1: It's really cool. Um. But the thing about you know,
Speaker 1: place and bets on horses. You look at the history
Speaker 1: of the horse. You look at what's this horse done,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, is a horse did at one time was
Speaker 1: winning a lot, even one a triple Crown race. And
Speaker 1: then you start looking at it as a horse. As
Speaker 1: the horse gets going down in this career, you're like,
Speaker 1: you know, what This horse ain't winning like they used today,
Speaker 1: just dropping and dropped out. That's where Mike McCarthy is
Speaker 1: right now, man, Mike McCarthy at the horse that used
Speaker 1: to be and you right now, church and investing, and
Speaker 1: you're laying down cash. You're betting on the guy to
Speaker 1: do things he doesn't do anymore. It the horse doesn't
Speaker 1: win races anymore. Why would you keep saying, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead. This horse about to win three in a
Speaker 1: row by went poor? No, no, he had went two
Speaker 1: in a row. You know what? You know what? That's
Speaker 1: the man. You know what else is addicted you right?
Speaker 1: It's that cool aid. Man. I don't know what they're
Speaker 1: putting in it. They put in some type of sugar.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. But they got me
Speaker 1: back on the cool aid. But I'm the church man, Church.
Speaker 1: But Church yesterday, yesterday at twelve o three pm, yes
Speaker 1: said hell no, can't get me again. And one day
Speaker 1: later the cool laid is back in your cups. Flow.
Speaker 1: I looked at this, looking at this, these final three games, man,
Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, we gotta shot, man,
Speaker 1: We gotta shot to win out. We got a slim
Speaker 1: chance to make the playoffs because I don't think Washington's
Speaker 1: gonna lose out, but we gotta shot the win out
Speaker 1: and you take that. I'll take that. Duayne Haskins is starting,
Speaker 1: by the way, so yeah he started, Listen. That means
Speaker 1: that means they will exceed all of our expectations that
Speaker 1: we made halfway through the season. Because I believe I
Speaker 1: was at four and twelve NEWI was at three and
Speaker 1: uh three and thirteen and Churches at six and ten,
Speaker 1: and you saying that they're gonna be better, they have
Speaker 1: a shot. They do have a shot, of course, but
Speaker 1: you gotta go out there and play the game. But
Speaker 1: the likelihood of that happening is very low. But then
Speaker 1: y'all see this as impossible though, these three the three teams,
Speaker 1: I just need saying, forget the playoffs, let's forget the playoffs,
Speaker 1: let's forget all that. Yeah, y'all think it's impossible that
Speaker 1: they win these last three? Sam Brand New York in Philly. Yes,
Speaker 1: I ain't talking about the playoffs. I ain't saying making
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'm saying, y'all think it's impossible that they
Speaker 1: win these last three? Correct? I don't think it's impossible.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think it's impossible. I give you that.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see it because we're talking about
Speaker 1: doing something I haven't done all either, and I don't
Speaker 1: see that. So why it's eleven app All, let's go,
Speaker 1: I'll go ahead, go ahead, let's get Okay. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, let's go ahead and say what scares you about?
Speaker 1: Get predicted? A? Yeah's it's all right because here here's
Speaker 1: what I'm going twenty four twenty San Francisco. Because of
Speaker 1: what you guys even said here. They can't stop the run.
Speaker 1: You can't stop the run. You're not gonna win. And
Speaker 1: what are they going to see the rest of the
Speaker 1: way from these next three teams, They're gonna run the
Speaker 1: ball at them. Okay, that's what everybody's gonna do. Forty
Speaker 1: Niners are gonna run it, The Eagles are gonna run it.
Speaker 1: The Eagles are gonna run with Miles Sanders and Jayalen Hurts.
Speaker 1: So we saw what they did against ball. Okay, so
Speaker 1: so you got that. And with the Giants, they're gonn
Speaker 1: try and run the football. Jason Garrett's gonna try and
Speaker 1: get his dub. So no, I don't see them winning
Speaker 1: and by the time they get to the Giants game,
Speaker 1: and Barry you know this better than me because you
Speaker 1: play mccrai too. Um, if this is the end of
Speaker 1: the year, the playoffs are gone, how many dudes are
Speaker 1: gonna want to roll on out there, go all the
Speaker 1: way up there to New Jersey and play the noon
Speaker 1: game in New Jersey. You're funding nobody for nothing. How
Speaker 1: motivated is that? How motivated the group is that gonna
Speaker 1: be in the cold and in New York. York might
Speaker 1: be playing for the playoffs. New York might be playing
Speaker 1: for the playoffs by at that time. True, you're right,
Speaker 1: You're right, so yeah, so so yeah. If New York's
Speaker 1: playing for one at that time, the Cowboys might be
Speaker 1: playing for one as well. I mean, I just think
Speaker 1: we got a shot man. The only team that scares
Speaker 1: me on these last three teams, that's the only that's
Speaker 1: the only team that scares me. Why now you prediction
Speaker 1: for this game, for this game? Since I already don't
Speaker 1: win on this spiel about the kool aid and got
Speaker 1: me back, I gotta go Cowboys. I gotta go Cowboys
Speaker 1: twenty one, Philly seven or San Francisco seventeen yep, okay,
Speaker 1: I got San friand twenty eight and I got hook
Speaker 1: him love kicking a lot of field goals this game,
Speaker 1: getting us, get getting getting us to nineteen points. So
Speaker 1: I got twenty eight nineteen San franc mm hmmm mm hmmm.

Speaker 1: other thing here is you're talking about Xavier Woods with
Speaker 1: a growing, Donovan Wilson with a growing and Brandon Ayuk
Speaker 1: out there. You know, if they're gonna try line him
Speaker 1: up on cheeto, um, and if they're running the ball,
Speaker 1: they're throwing the board. Hey, hey, hey all, if they're
Speaker 1: running the ball successfully, you go up top. He just
Speaker 1: got to connect once. And if you look at Brandon
Speaker 1: Ayuk stats, and I have because I had him on
Speaker 1: my fantasy team, this guy's producing numbers so almost like
Speaker 1: what we see from Mori Cooper. You going through a
Speaker 1: bunch of quarterbacks but been able to get the ball.
Speaker 1: So um, Brandon Aiyu can somebody you should be worried about. Okay,
Speaker 1: be worried about Brandon Aiyu. And it won't take many
Speaker 1: because with this, you know, if they're running the ball,
Speaker 1: it's gonna take this one or two bam, and and
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be sitting in the end zone. So, um,
Speaker 1: who's Washington? Who's Washington got this week? Seattle? And I
Speaker 1: believe without Alex Smith, without Alex, yes, they got Dwayne
Speaker 1: Haskins here. But you know, you can't worry about Washington.
Speaker 1: You gotta worry about winning this game, that's true. But
Speaker 1: that's that's l right. There'll number one for Washington right there.
Speaker 1: I'm here for the team they need three here, I'm
Speaker 1: here for the team Tank. Here for team Tank. They
Speaker 1: need here for the team tap what we'll see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's back on the wagon. He back on the wagon again. Y'all.
Speaker 1: Everybody listening to the players loud Church, Barry Church is
Speaker 1: back on the wagon. Hopped off the wagon weekly. He
Speaker 1: hopped back on the wagon weekly. And now he said
Speaker 1: that we're gonna go seven to nine to outdo and
Speaker 1: outpace anything that any three of us have said this
Speaker 1: season for the Cowboys record. So seven to nine, cows Church,
Speaker 1: seven and nine. You heard it here first from mccraig.
Speaker 1: Seven and nine from mccraig Church Church. Okay, I got
Speaker 1: it all right real quick before before we before we
Speaker 1: let seeb go real quick, NEWI But what scared like?
Speaker 1: Is there something that scares you out of those last
Speaker 1: three teams? And the Cowboys got a face to make
Speaker 1: you think there's no way it's impossible that we get dubbs. Um,
Speaker 1: we haven't seen this team do it all year. So
Speaker 1: if you haven't done it. How many times you're gonna
Speaker 1: do it at the end of the year. Um, I
Speaker 1: just don't see it happening. And this team is Frankly,
Speaker 1: when I look at Mike Nolan and the defense, they
Speaker 1: still have issues. They the Bengals still put up points
Speaker 1: against them. The Bengals still had a fantastic third down
Speaker 1: conversion rate last week, and that's a pan team. Kyle
Speaker 1: Shannahan's a better play call. Robert Sale, the defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, is going to come up with
Speaker 1: a scheme that's going to be tough for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just don't see it happening. In with
Speaker 1: Zeke not being one hundred percent, and then you got
Speaker 1: Cowboy dbs. Guys aren't coming back, and you've got two
Speaker 1: Sages with growing issues. I just think the matchups are
Speaker 1: gonna favor the forty nine is. And then when you
Speaker 1: go face the Philadelphia Eagles, you're gonna have Jalen Hurt,
Speaker 1: you got Miles then they're gonna run it on you. Man,
Speaker 1: They're gonna run it on you. I just don't have
Speaker 1: faith in this defense, in Mike Nolan, and I don't
Speaker 1: know why you're gonna all of a sudden, you have
Speaker 1: this faith? What have they shown you? Defensively, they says, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: they're gonna go ahead and win these games. I got
Speaker 1: faith in them, man, I got faith in them based
Speaker 1: on based on games based faith. Man. I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna come back. I think I think their secondary is
Speaker 1: gonna come back healthier than than a lot of people assume.
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna slow down this path and the run,
Speaker 1: the run. That's the only thing that scares me about
Speaker 1: all of it. I think you'll match up well, man.
Speaker 1: I think I see now y'are talking. Man, let's in
Speaker 1: the show, y'all talking to me. Out of it now.
Speaker 1: I'm still on the cool. Let's go. We'll see my day.
Speaker 1: We'll see you Monday. We'll see you today. Don't worry,
Speaker 1: all right, exactly, we will see you Monday. So it's
Speaker 1: three against one on this to change my mind. I
Speaker 1: will be there Sunday. You know what you want to
Speaker 1: do it? You want to do it. You want to
Speaker 1: do it church, you want to change, you want to flip? Na,
