Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This is the Players Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 3: World headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts Barry Church,
Speaker 3: Hecma Harrison and New he Scrugs.
Speaker 4: Hey, Hey, let's go players, Players Lounge.
Speaker 5: Baby here man we hear man have Monday Monday, a
Speaker 5: non victory Monday here and a rainy, rainy day here
Speaker 5: in Frisco, Texas.
Speaker 4: Star s WBC podcast Studio is the Player's Lodge, brought
Speaker 4: to you by Aristocratic Gaming. He is Heck Harrison, he
Speaker 4: is Barry Church, I have New he Scruggs. The Cowboys
Speaker 4: have lost again.
Speaker 6: Okay was that three? Is that three straight?
Speaker 4: Yes? Yes? No, Now you know the unfortunate part coming
Speaker 4: from NFL media.
Speaker 6: No, don't say dok.
Speaker 4: Prescott has a hamstring injury and we'll miss multiple weeks.
Speaker 4: We do not know. Head coach Miya McCarthy will have
Speaker 4: a press conference at the top of the hour. We
Speaker 4: will get more specifics about the quarterback of America team.
Speaker 4: So Cooper rush time. We don't know for how long.
Speaker 4: Here's one for you guys. When do you decide to
Speaker 4: play Tree Lance, if this season is going away?
Speaker 7: Is going.
Speaker 4: If the quarterback who's all caught on camera saying we
Speaker 4: fing up, he did say that. He did say that
Speaker 4: to Trey Lance. We know what Cooper Rush can do? Yes?
Speaker 6: Was it four to one two years ago for one?
Speaker 4: So so if he can't keep the ship from sinking,
Speaker 4: when do you go to see if there's anything?
Speaker 2: Which just ask I give them if I'm if I'm
Speaker 2: the Boys and I'm in charge of making these type
Speaker 2: of decisions, I give Cooper Rush about two games.
Speaker 6: What's the next two games? Philadelphia and in Houston?
Speaker 2: Right, you know, good competition, two of the better teams
Speaker 2: in their division. You got Philly that's the second place,
Speaker 2: right now, you got Houston. I believe's in the first
Speaker 2: place in the AFC South. So if he's able to
Speaker 2: go out there and get to victories against those teams,
Speaker 2: then I let them ride. Go ahead, see what we
Speaker 2: can do with this. But if he struggles in both
Speaker 2: of those contests, then I think you've got to see
Speaker 2: what Trey Lance got. I think you got to see
Speaker 2: what he can do out there. I mean, preseason, we
Speaker 2: got a glimpse of what he can do. He wasn't
Speaker 2: playing with the starters, and you know it was a
Speaker 2: little rocky at first. You know he was using his
Speaker 2: legs a lot, but he did, you know, use his
Speaker 2: arm in occasions. He saw a little bit of it
Speaker 2: here and there, sprinkles of it. But I think you
Speaker 2: gotta see what he can do if you lose these
Speaker 2: next two games, because if you lose these next two games,
Speaker 2: you wet three and seven, three and seven, that that's
Speaker 2: a nail in the coffin. It's over, it's a rap,
Speaker 2: kiss the baby, whatever you want to call it. The
Speaker 2: season is done at that point. So once that happens,
Speaker 2: I think you've got to go to Trey Lance to
Speaker 2: see what he got, what he can provide. Maybe he
Speaker 2: can provide a little spark and maybe you see what
Speaker 2: he can go into next season. But I think that's
Speaker 2: in time when you got to you gotta bring Tray
Speaker 2: Lance along at that point.
Speaker 8: Man, you can ride with Cooper Rush because you know
Speaker 8: what he does. You's he's a proven backup. He's given
Speaker 8: you quality minutes, uh in quality games when Dak has
Speaker 8: gone down with an injury. And right now you may
Speaker 8: get a second chance of providing some value for your
Speaker 8: third quarterback if Cooper Rush, like you said, doesn't play well,
Speaker 8: or you have an opportunity now to insert him into
Speaker 8: a game in some packages period, you know, and so
Speaker 8: uh to me, I think this is a this is
Speaker 8: the situation that you absolutely did not need at this
Speaker 8: point in the season. With the and I went back.
Speaker 8: I kept, I keep looking at the tape to find
Speaker 8: out how you know that the hamstring injury happened. You know,
Speaker 8: I'm not a quarterback savant by any means, but it
Speaker 8: just seemed like me, you know, sneezing in the shower,
Speaker 8: blowing him up back out, you know, like one of
Speaker 8: those things. Just how did that happen? It's off balance,
Speaker 8: he throws the ball and then it's you know, something
Speaker 8: happens in his hamstring. Man, I just think this, this,
Speaker 8: this just just heightens how weird this season has been.
Speaker 8: When Dak you know, it strains his hamstring throwing the ball,
Speaker 8: it's uh, it's just one of those It's one of
Speaker 8: those things. Offensively, we have to get some fire, some
Speaker 8: something ignited from somewhere. Seventy five was my number in
Speaker 8: the running game. I talked about it. Man, you gotta
Speaker 8: get seventy five. Ric o'dalla went out and got you
Speaker 8: seventy five, and still the passing game didn't give you anything,
Speaker 8: not nothing else. And so you know, Cooper Rush came in,
Speaker 8: he did complete some long passes, and if Dak is
Speaker 8: heard or even on the fringe at this point, I
Speaker 8: still say put Cooper Rush in there because I don't
Speaker 8: want to.
Speaker 4: I don't want him to tear it.
Speaker 2: And in this situation, let me throw something that y'all
Speaker 2: real quick, Let's just say after those two games, you
Speaker 2: throw lands in the game.
Speaker 6: You know, for the remainder of the season, he plays well.
Speaker 2: Let's just say he plays you know good enough, you
Speaker 2: lot on tape that he's playing well. Could you then
Speaker 2: in turn throw a tag on him and open it
Speaker 2: up for trades that way you can get some picks?
Speaker 6: Could you? Could you then do that if it was
Speaker 6: that situation, because you know, he ain't gonna first that
Speaker 6: comes back, he ain't gonna play here here.
Speaker 4: First off, you're talking about a tag, Yeah, can you?
Speaker 4: But isn't there there's.
Speaker 6: Another tags besides this franchise.
Speaker 8: Isn't there well, I don't know anyone that is just
Speaker 8: not the quarterback tag. You're gonna have to take the
Speaker 8: median of all the highest paid quarterbacks.
Speaker 4: Here's you throw a tag on that, dude run inside it.
Speaker 4: Well yeah, yeah, that's but like thirty something, I mean,
Speaker 4: you can't, you can't.
Speaker 2: Afford don't move that fast. He's done after this year. Yes, contract,
Speaker 2: he's a free agent. Cooper Rush is a free agent.
Speaker 4: And I say this in the lens of Dak's gonna
Speaker 4: miss multiple weeks. We see where this thing is going.
Speaker 4: God bless Cooper Rush. He's not a magician, and all
Speaker 4: of a sudden, this blocking is gonna get better. And
Speaker 4: this is what this is. So if you're seeing what
Speaker 4: Trey Lance has, and if Trey Lance shows you something
Speaker 4: with Dak Prescott being injured again, you're going to have
Speaker 4: to start to think about who's our backup quarterback? Who
Speaker 4: is because both guys are going to be free agents,
Speaker 4: and if Trey Lance has anything and you want to build,
Speaker 4: I mean, I just asked the question because right now
Speaker 4: you are getting to the point where you better figure
Speaker 4: out what what do we have for twenty five?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's gonna be interesting in twenty five because
Speaker 2: there's a lot of cancer that's gonna want some bread
Speaker 2: other than you know, these backup quarterbacks.
Speaker 4: I'm free agents a lot.
Speaker 8: That's that's where That's where I point to is the
Speaker 8: fact that you have so many free agents, a lot
Speaker 8: of one year guys, a lot of expiring contracts, and
Speaker 8: as tomorrow gets draws nearer, I think you start to
Speaker 8: see I would hope that you start to see movement
Speaker 8: with those first and foremost the guys that have those
Speaker 8: expiring contracts. Like it's a it's a pickle. And when
Speaker 8: it comes down to the quarterback position, I just look
Speaker 8: at Cooper Rush as the guy that is proven, that
Speaker 8: has shown you that was the Chase Daniels the quarterback.
Speaker 8: There's a backup forever in the n fourteen years. He's
Speaker 8: just like a journeyman backup quarterbacks South Carol. Cooper Rush
Speaker 8: is that dude to me here, Cooper Rush is the dude, Hey,
Speaker 8: stand over here and make your millions.
Speaker 4: Hold a clipboard.
Speaker 8: If we need you, you could come in here and
Speaker 8: give this guy so give us some quality games. He's
Speaker 8: done that for you before four and one. In situations
Speaker 8: and instances, you can't trust the latter to say that
Speaker 8: you know, he could be that guy that could come
Speaker 8: in and fill in games for us. I mean, who
Speaker 8: else do you have at the quarterback? Because it's Brian Anger?
Speaker 8: How do you talk about it?
Speaker 4: And I'm not I'm not here. I could judge Cooper
Speaker 4: Rush on his bill. We know what he could do, yes, yes,
Speaker 4: we know it. But he's not going to be able
Speaker 4: to fix this thing, you know. So, So for the
Speaker 4: for the fans out there, oh I got rid of
Speaker 4: Dacres stop. Cooper Rush is not gonna be the elixir here.
Speaker 4: It's this thing is too big for Cooper Rush or
Speaker 4: anybody fix too many holes.
Speaker 2: It's bigger than me. By ain't no way. There is
Speaker 2: very much Nino Brown understands. This thing is bigger than me.
Speaker 4: If I'm going down taking a whole lot of people,
Speaker 4: and now a whole lot of people right now the
Speaker 4: ship be sinking. But as I look at the sinking ship,
Speaker 4: you must think of what about twenty twenty five as
Speaker 4: you decide who do we want to start to bring
Speaker 4: back the hack? When you bring up a very good point,
Speaker 4: the trade deadline is tomorrow. Who would you like to
Speaker 4: possibly move on? Because Jerry said after the game we
Speaker 4: could have some stuff in mind. No, no, who do
Speaker 4: you move on who do people want? That's the biggest
Speaker 4: thing on a one year deal, Who do they want?
Speaker 4: What are you really getting?
Speaker 2: You really don't got one person in mind that could
Speaker 2: you know, garner some attention, and that's to me is
Speaker 2: George Lewis. I mean, he's playing phenomenally at that slot cornerback.
Speaker 2: Then you can help out a lot of teams in the.
Speaker 6: National Football League.
Speaker 2: So that's the one guy that comes to mind that
Speaker 2: you may be able to get that has value that
Speaker 2: you might.
Speaker 6: Be able to get something back for. And maybe Old Diggi.
Speaker 8: Zoo, maybe Old Diggie Zoo, maybe Flashy, maybe Cooks. You
Speaker 8: have some guys in the wide receiver room as well.
Speaker 8: I mean, you're getting nothing at this point. And I've
Speaker 8: been on the fence when it comes down to all right,
Speaker 8: one guy ain't gonna fix it. You know that you're
Speaker 8: gonna have to get rid of some contracts. You got
Speaker 8: to bring some guys in that can help. To me,
Speaker 8: it's just I'm still in a position when I look
Speaker 8: at the NFC East and I look at Philadelphia, I'm sorry,
Speaker 8: I don't I look at that Teamak and Barkley did
Speaker 8: something out standing yesterday, but overall, I'm looking at that
Speaker 8: team saying, come on, now, they can be got this.
Speaker 8: This is not that they're not world beaters. And even
Speaker 8: when I look at the Commanders that the games that
Speaker 8: they won, I'm like, look, these guys are not world beaters.
Speaker 8: You may have a chance, but you're so bad right now.
Speaker 8: You're so bad right now. No, no, but you're so
Speaker 8: bad right now that you you can't even fool yourself
Speaker 8: to say, all right, we can get into a particular
Speaker 8: situation with these guys and we may be able to
Speaker 8: squeak out a win based off of what I mean.
Speaker 8: This game to me is we talked about it all
Speaker 8: last week came down to how many times they were
Speaker 8: going to rush the ball? Was Atlanta gonna fool themselves
Speaker 8: into throwing the ball a lot? And I think we
Speaker 8: both were right because they ran the ball thirty times
Speaker 8: that they threw the ball, completed nineteen passes for twenty four,
Speaker 8: so pretty balanced attack. They didn't rush, they didn't have
Speaker 8: four hundred yards a four hundred yard day on.
Speaker 4: Into one hundred on the nose. Come on that and
Speaker 4: it's just wow to.
Speaker 2: Me that once again, stuff that we talked about last
Speaker 2: week in San Francisco reared its ugly head in Atlanta.
Speaker 4: What is going on with the communication in the back end?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 4: What these these are? These are better than guys.
Speaker 2: These are guys that can get the job done. Zero cover,
Speaker 2: throw zero out out the just throw the coverage out
Speaker 2: the door.
Speaker 4: Take that zero and toss it in the flames. What
Speaker 4: are we doing you?
Speaker 2: You know what's coming when you're in a zero coverage
Speaker 2: when the receiver splits her that tight. Why are we
Speaker 2: all on the same level. It's a pick route waiting
Speaker 2: to happen. Broke all this down last week and the
Speaker 2: same thing happened once again, not once, but twice happened
Speaker 2: to a veteran player, all pro player.
Speaker 8: Here in the secondary. We had it, Corres, we had
Speaker 8: correct How do you not say this? You pressed the
Speaker 8: point and the two guys.
Speaker 4: What are we doing in the secondary?
Speaker 10: Man?
Speaker 11: That's a problem, guys. Man, man, Look, this is how
Speaker 11: you get here. It's this is this is.
Speaker 4: How you get here, and it's it's it's sad to watch.
Speaker 4: There's nine more weeks of this. Oh yeah, the quarterback
Speaker 4: is out for multiple weeks, according to reports. We'll see
Speaker 4: exactly what the wide receiver is doing that that pick
Speaker 4: play with Diggs is out there, and I mean it was,
Speaker 4: it was, it was. It was sad to watch the
Speaker 4: presept penalties. What seven of it? Yeah, seven of them
Speaker 4: the fourth and one and they try to hand it
Speaker 4: off to see that you can't get one yard one
Speaker 4: yard tile? Guy? Who that's what my man anger in
Speaker 4: that situation. There's gotta be a guy that say, you
Speaker 4: know what this this look we're getting right here. Kill kill.
Speaker 4: It's not it, let's kill kill put this kill.
Speaker 6: You know, hey, my boy, see that I got this.
Speaker 2: I got you know you throw it up, baby, I
Speaker 2: got this. Man, Come on, man, you see that.
Speaker 4: That was so bad.
Speaker 8: That was I think that was the one player in
Speaker 8: the game that just, you know, you want to kick
Speaker 8: something or push something over. When it happens, it's like, man,
Speaker 8: we we didn't just do that. We did It's no
Speaker 8: way we just did that fourth. And it's gonna go
Speaker 8: for put your office back, handing off the lifty or something,
Speaker 8: doing do something else. And and I guess my thing
Speaker 8: is and I'm waiting for to hear from Mike McCarthy
Speaker 8: because I know that they're gonna ask the question, you know,
Speaker 8: do you because he has veto power No, we're not
Speaker 8: gonna do that. I mean, they have to signal him
Speaker 8: in his head said to say that this is what hey,
Speaker 8: we got our look, this is what we're about to do.
Speaker 8: He knows that this doesn't work at this point in
Speaker 8: the game. What this looks like, how bad this is
Speaker 8: gonna be? The field position that you're about to give up.
Speaker 8: You know exactly what this is. And it's like, if
Speaker 8: you're just playing the percentages, you could talk about coaches
Speaker 8: coaching each and every week, how the coaching is an
Speaker 8: art form. But then there are other things that happen
Speaker 8: in the course of a game that make you say,
Speaker 8: there's no way, there's no way that y'all prepared all
Speaker 8: week zero coverage and then this happens to you that
Speaker 8: you have ten men on the field, then this is
Speaker 8: another one they got ten men, or or that we're
Speaker 8: gonna go away from one running back insert another running
Speaker 8: back and then we have twelve men in the huddle.
Speaker 8: It's like, it's things like that that happen through the
Speaker 8: course of a football game that even if you don't
Speaker 8: know anything about it, you have to put that on
Speaker 8: the head of the coach and say, come on, now,
Speaker 8: you that's in preparation. That's in how you get your
Speaker 8: team ready to play this game. Look the first play,
Speaker 8: the absolute first play from scrimmage, Atlanta runs that zone,
Speaker 8: read that zone run right man de Marvin Overshawan.
Speaker 2: Takes off after it. I'm like, oh, yeah, defense ready.
Speaker 2: Robinson just goes back the other way.
Speaker 4: I was crazy.
Speaker 8: I'm like, how how even when we are everybody's in position,
Speaker 8: they're still able to rattle off a seven eight yard
Speaker 8: run like that?
Speaker 7: To me?
Speaker 8: That to me, and this guy's like, Eric Hendricks is
Speaker 8: the you know, the linebacking cord that I sit back
Speaker 8: and I go, man, I know these guys are each
Speaker 8: and every week with ice packs on their neck, going,
Speaker 8: how the heck did we get here?
Speaker 4: How did we get here? How did it get from this?
Speaker 8: Because you can't you couldn't have projected that this production
Speaker 8: on defense would have had this steep of a decline.
Speaker 4: It's a steep man. It hurts. It hurts the watch,
Speaker 4: It hurts to watch, It hurts to say.
Speaker 8: It hurts to say that a team that was number
Speaker 8: one on offense last season now that the office looks
Speaker 8: completely disjointed and out of balance.
Speaker 6: I still still I can't believe throw back shoulder face.
Speaker 4: Yes, let me get that back shoulder face going, let's
Speaker 4: get that first down? Baby? What are we doing? Ladies
Speaker 4: and gentlemen, what that's that's that's the fourth down. That's it.
Speaker 2: That's the fourth fourth and one and you do a
Speaker 2: back man? Is that the play where Big Mike through
Speaker 2: the through the set down? N he do it on
Speaker 2: the fourth and one to CD that that's what he
Speaker 2: threw it down then digging block right and then they
Speaker 2: ran to play again later on and it worked. But
Speaker 2: but it's like, that's that's when you know, it's like
Speaker 2: fourth and one. You're gonna go on a jet suite
Speaker 2: with CD on a fourth and one. I gotta get it,
Speaker 2: like even I got. And it's official with this, with
Speaker 2: this this, it's official with this old line. It's it's
Speaker 2: you had the worst rush or the roast worst pass
Speaker 2: rush defense in the National Football League as far as
Speaker 2: pressures and sacks, sacks in the first quarter and you
Speaker 2: running for his life the whole game. How many they
Speaker 2: finished with three? They finished with three And this is
Speaker 2: the worst pass rush in the National Football thirty second
Speaker 2: look like, here's some force I'm up there.
Speaker 4: What looking at they chops? I I was, I was,
Speaker 4: It's a rap for me. It's bad. It's bad. Office
Speaker 4: of Office Jackson went in. They put on the seventy five,
Speaker 4: Joe Green, Jersey White fifty four. I mean, like, what
Speaker 4: do we what are we doing? What is this?
Speaker 7: What is this?

Speaker 4: Thank you heck Maherrison Player's Lounge. On a Monday, Cowboys
Speaker 4: lose again. Barry Church is here with us. I'm new.
Speaker 4: We struggled, so we'll get to Ezekiel Elliott here in
Speaker 4: a minute in the segment. But what is the confidence
Speaker 4: level now in the head coach Mike McCarthy. His contract
Speaker 4: is up after the season. Dennis Allen of the Saints
Speaker 4: was fired today. They lost to Carolina, they beat Arlington,
Speaker 4: when here's everything here and win another game. I mean
Speaker 4: you lost to the pants who put Bryce Young back
Speaker 4: in the start lineup by winning games. But like he
Speaker 4: was in Alabama one more time, so he was fired.
Speaker 4: So so that's the second fireing got Robert solid with
Speaker 4: the Jets. Gun Dennis Allen, gun Jerry say he's not
Speaker 4: firing Mike McCray, but just right now, after what you
Speaker 4: saw on Sunday thought, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, my confidence level it's extremely low, extremely low right
Speaker 2: now because what he's in charge of has not, you know,
Speaker 2: panned out offensively. I understand last year was last year
Speaker 2: great offense. This year you're head of the offense. You
Speaker 2: got one of the worst offices in the National Football League,
Speaker 2: not only red zone but just overall one of the
Speaker 2: worst offenses International Football League.
Speaker 6: You're head of game.
Speaker 4: Management as well, and at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: you may say, you know, hey, that.
Speaker 6: Wasn't my call to go special stays, whatever do you're.
Speaker 2: The head coach, that's that's your decision making, all right,
Speaker 2: that not only the decision to throw the fake punt
Speaker 2: or do the East West reverse on fourth and one,
Speaker 2: but you're setting your defense up who's already struggling.
Speaker 4: With short fields.
Speaker 2: I mean that these are the decisions that come down
Speaker 2: on the head coach, and he hasn't been doing a
Speaker 2: great job all season long when it comes to that. Now,
Speaker 2: with that being said, you know, after the game was over,
Speaker 2: Jerry came down and something that happened was he you know,
Speaker 2: went in there and it gave a speech to the team.
Speaker 2: That's something that you don't want that to happen if
Speaker 2: you're a head coach or a player. I was twenty ten,
Speaker 2: mister Jones did the same thing. Came into the speech
Speaker 2: to us because we were playing God awful and as
Speaker 2: soon as that speech was done, somebody had to go,
Speaker 2: and we all know it was it was coach Wade.
Speaker 2: He had went and gone, all right, So those that's
Speaker 2: what you don't want to happen. You don't want your
Speaker 2: owner to have to come down and address the team.
Speaker 2: It's okay if he addresses the media out there after
Speaker 2: the game. But when he comes in and addresses the team, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's something that you don't want to have happened. So
Speaker 2: to me, my confidence overall is just extremely low. And
Speaker 2: you could tell the frustrations around this whole building that
Speaker 2: it ain't ain't good.
Speaker 6: Brother, it ain't good.
Speaker 4: It ain't good. I'm glad.
Speaker 8: I'm glad you addressed it because I thought that was
Speaker 8: one of those like, you know, moments.
Speaker 4: Want yeah, you don't want to see that.
Speaker 8: But Barry Well, I mean I look at what just
Speaker 8: what has happened around the league this year, and we've
Speaker 8: seen coaches get fired already. For less, just started in
Speaker 8: New York with Robert Sala, who is the defensive coordinator
Speaker 8: and the head coach. But his defense was performing well.
Speaker 8: But the other side of the ball was it with
Speaker 8: guys that he appointed because of the quarterbacks and he
Speaker 8: ends up getting canned for that. Dennis Allen in the
Speaker 8: situation with the Saints, he's you know, look, things are
Speaker 8: not panning out and organizations are just moving on. I
Speaker 8: look at I look at Mike McCarthy, and as much
Speaker 8: as as I have admired his his career, I looked
Speaker 8: at a guy that was doomed from the beginning, walking
Speaker 8: into the season without a contract. Everybody knew that. Look
Speaker 8: at things didn't get off to a great start. What
Speaker 8: the rumblings were going to be. And we're already there
Speaker 8: laying Doug hot see whatever else you want to put
Speaker 8: on top of it. Guys already talking about interviewing for
Speaker 8: his job through the medium. We got a lot of
Speaker 8: that going on. And if you're if you're Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 8: you've got to be sitting there. You know I'm not,
Speaker 8: you know, his pillow talking at Night's got to be baby,
Speaker 8: I've been set.
Speaker 6: Up to fail.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 8: This is a tough one to have to overcome, especially
Speaker 8: when you can go back and look at the tape
Speaker 8: and see your players not playing one hundred percent up
Speaker 8: to their potential. How do you rate that as a
Speaker 8: coach when you're like, dude, I've seen you do this
Speaker 8: one hundred times and you're gonna do it like that now?
Speaker 8: Like it's look, you're not setting your defense up for
Speaker 8: any success with the play calling. I mean it looks
Speaker 8: rather similar to some play calling that we've had in
Speaker 8: the past. Herky Jerker, you know, rhythm to it. None
Speaker 8: of those things, and you want to call it personnel changes.
Speaker 8: We said last week you're gonna have to change something
Speaker 8: within your scheme coming into this game, because the way
Speaker 8: that you played the week before, that ain't it. Playing
Speaker 8: against Detroit, that ain't it. That's not gonna have you
Speaker 8: get you any success. What do you turn around to
Speaker 8: do you throw the ball fifty times? You throw the
Speaker 8: ball fifty times, And that to me is just basically saying, look,
Speaker 8: we have no continuity as an offense. Your offensive line
Speaker 8: isn't giving you anything. Your receiving corps is very in us,
Speaker 8: it's inconsistent, and teams have already told you have already
Speaker 8: said we have one philosophy when we come in to
Speaker 8: play the Dallas Cowboys is take away ceedee lamb and
Speaker 8: let everybody else do they thing. And why they haven't
Speaker 8: been able to scheme around that, I don't know. But
Speaker 8: it's a tough position to be in as a coach.
Speaker 8: He can't make any changes, and at this point, I
Speaker 8: dare say that probably the players that's on the roster
Speaker 8: right now don't believe him.
Speaker 6: Can anything save him right now?
Speaker 2: I mean, I know a ton of injuries, but all
Speaker 2: your stars have been gone you know, now you're losing
Speaker 2: your quarterback.
Speaker 6: Is that something that you know.
Speaker 2: If theason comes around and can say no, it's over
Speaker 2: with the playoff.
Speaker 4: The playoff loss damaged it. Remember now we were all
Speaker 4: we were doing podcasts, were wondering was he going to
Speaker 4: be the coach for a while. So that was that
Speaker 4: was talked about. So he decided to keep him. But hey,
Speaker 4: no contract for you, no contract for anybody else on
Speaker 4: the staff. So right there, it was a fire. It
Speaker 4: was a small fire because you're like, hey, you know,
Speaker 4: one year deal. What's going on with a little fire there,
Speaker 4: But you can't throw logs on it each week with
Speaker 4: the pre snap penalties, guys don't know where to go.
Speaker 4: But you're just throwing logs on the fire, making it bigger.
Speaker 4: So that part of Mike Heckmer, that's where you got
Speaker 4: to look at it. You're not doing yourself any favors
Speaker 4: with what's been going on and how you've been coaching
Speaker 4: the team.
Speaker 2: We got to go back to fundamentals. I mean, man,
Speaker 2: this is bad when you go back.
Speaker 8: Guys, when you think about this team two years ago,
Speaker 8: all right, coming off the first twelve and five season,
Speaker 8: you felt as though you were on the brink of
Speaker 8: a breakout season that we were building the teams. Everybody
Speaker 8: was doing to look at this roster deal, you know,
Speaker 8: see where the talent is. And the Cowboys roster always
Speaker 8: came out. You said, this is one of the more
Speaker 8: talented rosters in the NFL. The coaching was there doing
Speaker 8: those seasons. How much of the responsibility falls on the players?
Speaker 8: Because if you talk, if I just go back to
Speaker 8: green Bay last year, that green Bay game where you're
Speaker 8: on a role in winning games at home, and you
Speaker 8: come out and you play like that, your defense.
Speaker 4: Plays like that.
Speaker 8: I mean, no matter how you would have executed that day,
Speaker 8: green Bay would have beat you with your best and
Speaker 8: their best because you couldn't stop them.
Speaker 4: How much of it do you put on the players too?
Speaker 8: I know Mike McCarthy's going to be the scapegoat no
Speaker 8: matter what, right, but how much of it do you put.
Speaker 4: On the players?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 6: You gotta put a lot on the players.
Speaker 2: And we talked about it because these guys have underperformed
Speaker 2: across the board.
Speaker 6: When you look at a defensive.
Speaker 2: Line wise underperformed, second level linebackers, wide receivers, even the
Speaker 2: quarterback has underperformed from.
Speaker 6: What we were used to seeing from these guys.
Speaker 2: But I think what hurts Mike McCarthy once again in
Speaker 2: this light is you have to take a look at
Speaker 2: these ls and these l's that are at home and
Speaker 2: on primetime games.
Speaker 4: He's getting embarrassed. Todd Archer, and I would when I
Speaker 4: would defend McCarthy the past few years, Todd Archer of
Speaker 4: ESPN what always headed me. He was brought in here
Speaker 4: to take this team further than Jason Garrett. Hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 4: He's like, why was he Why was he brought here?
Speaker 4: He wasn't brought here to go lose in the first
Speaker 4: round to the Packers. He's like, Jason Garrett could do
Speaker 4: that for you. That was always Todd's thing to me.
Speaker 4: This guy was brought in as a Super Bowl championship
Speaker 4: coach and he was supposed to take you next level.
Speaker 4: And yes, only Andy Reid until this year had won
Speaker 4: more regular season games in him, but he didn't get
Speaker 4: it done. When you don't go through that window it's
Speaker 4: open for you, it's a problem. I look simply back
Speaker 4: over here at the Texas Rangers. They went through that
Speaker 4: little window. Had the window won a World Series last year.
Speaker 4: This year things went haywire byke most she's fired. Please cut.
Speaker 4: They're begging him to come. He mayn't retire on us, now,
Speaker 4: come on back. Mike didn't go through that window, so
Speaker 4: he left himself here as as big a fan as
Speaker 4: I have been waving the flag from Mike McCarthy. Man, brother,
Speaker 4: you're throwing logs on the fire. Can't defended. And we
Speaker 4: all know this. You've got friends, You've got friends, I've
Speaker 4: got friends. Fan base is not happy. You can't keep
Speaker 4: selling this because now folks getting off the hopium, people
Speaker 4: getting rehab, they getting people bucking up, them all going
Speaker 4: down right, you guys know, let let that Let that
Speaker 4: place be filled with a bunch of Eagle fans and
Speaker 4: Texans faith. You know, that's what happened down the stress
Speaker 4: because the tickets, These tickets are not cheap. Anybody had
Speaker 4: season tickets, man, that's what I started getting. Hey man,
Speaker 4: it's too much to eat them.
Speaker 6: So you know what you do, start selling them.
Speaker 4: And come December it could be a whole bunch of others.
Speaker 6: That's it. That'll be hungling man.
Speaker 4: Jerry won't have that. Jerry won't have that. Man, Look
Speaker 4: at that skip Okay, let's just think about it, because you
Speaker 4: know folks like to come down here anyway. The Bengals
Speaker 4: in December, Tampa Bay and December and then oh boy,
Speaker 4: don't let Washington be their last game. And out here,
Speaker 4: you know Dan staying quick, gonna want to put it
Speaker 4: on the boys.
Speaker 8: You notice, you know, like Dan Campbell, but you know
Speaker 8: he's going to he's not letting off you guys. You
Speaker 8: don't even have to look any further than this Sunday,
Speaker 8: next two sundays, this Sunday, tell me what's kell what
Speaker 8: say the game with the people at the bat Kellum
Speaker 8: gotta vendetta? He gonna pair ound they're gonna do he
Speaker 8: gotta They might get sixty carries?
Speaker 4: Ben got what next two weeks because you know Texans
Speaker 4: man's coming up in here for they taste.
Speaker 6: Ain't gonna try to get a man that's embarrassing.
Speaker 8: I mean that's and you all know it's coming to
Speaker 8: so and and what based off of what you've seen
Speaker 8: we talked about last week about Atlanta and I was
Speaker 8: sitting make to looking at Kurt.
Speaker 4: I'm like, ain't nobody even touching Kurt?
Speaker 2: Kurt even touching And it was so crazy because you
Speaker 2: had individual spots.
Speaker 6: So he's playing on like Carl Lawson went on the
Speaker 6: game Saturday.
Speaker 2: But it all gets overshadowed because of you know, the
Speaker 2: final product.
Speaker 4: Mistakes, the mistakes again, mistakes again as a safety, do
Speaker 4: you look at some of this as a safety and
Speaker 4: you're looking at the play of Wilson and those other
Speaker 4: guys and he was like, man, do they not understand
Speaker 4: like the responsibility?
Speaker 2: Do you one thousand percent? Okay, you look at that
Speaker 2: And it started from me last week.
Speaker 4: You zero what you're doing outside.
Speaker 2: You look at you look at this week the over
Speaker 2: to McLeod, the third touchdown for Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 6: Everybody was dropping coverages.
Speaker 2: They even pointed out during the broadcast rumbing in his
Speaker 2: own you gotta pick him up, and you know, my man,
Speaker 2: I hate the power on him, but he just looks
Speaker 2: lost out there. He looks lost out there, and they
Speaker 2: tried to move him around a little bit. All right,
Speaker 2: we're gonna take you out of the box responsibility to
Speaker 2: put you in the back deep or deep end of
Speaker 2: the field.
Speaker 6: And it just hasn't worked out.
Speaker 2: And that was my main concern when we talked about
Speaker 2: this way back before to see and started the two
Speaker 2: deep safeties.
Speaker 4: How can they provide?
Speaker 2: How can they perform in the deep half of the
Speaker 2: field because all they were used to doing in that
Speaker 2: Quinn system was being in the box.
Speaker 4: That was my band concern.
Speaker 8: But they told you last They told you last week
Speaker 8: when they say get get back and tackle, we saw
Speaker 8: I missed that.
Speaker 4: How far back you get? Let's get our last break
Speaker 4: in here. Ezekiel Elliott was told to stay home. Mutually. Yeah,
Speaker 4: heck Maharrison, Burry Church strugs. We will dive into Ezekiel Elliott.
Speaker 4: And how much longer do we expect Ezekiel Elliott to
Speaker 4: remain with the Cowboys? Just do that. Next on the

Speaker 4: be man.
Speaker 8: You hate just man, You've done something in your life
Speaker 8: to have enough money to where you don't get booked
Speaker 8: like that. Jake is gone as soon as you run
Speaker 8: out of oxygen. Soon as he run out of oxygen.
Speaker 8: What's the fifty eight year old lungs take over? It's
Speaker 8: all It will be on the thing going the time. Man,
Speaker 8: get get him up out of there. You better being.
Speaker 8: But if he knocking out, if Mike Tyson not Jakes
Speaker 8: fall out, man, I will be happy. Man, if that happened, Yeah,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna be a party. Would be so happy if
Speaker 8: Mike Tyson knocked this man out.
Speaker 4: But even with the RAS put on him though.
Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying, That's what I don't If he
Speaker 8: like like in the interview after the game, Mike Tyson
Speaker 8: got them bugs bunny hoots on his.
Speaker 4: Head like Martin lawds up, I would be like.
Speaker 8: I don't want to see Mike look like that, not
Speaker 8: like not like we were transferred to Mike to the
Speaker 8: Baylor's guy to white and I don't want none of that. No,
Speaker 8: that's not out bront to you. I don't want none
Speaker 8: of that. Mike Tyson telling you dog, Mike used to
Speaker 8: be the guy that don't wait the Baylor's.
Speaker 4: Jake when it comes to Baylor, I don't want to
Speaker 4: see that. He can't. I can't telling you man, it's
Speaker 4: like it's just not need to come this. Say.
Speaker 2: I were walking with no socks on, no socks, but
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson, no socks. He was scared of life out
Speaker 2: of this guy. No rob just had on the white
Speaker 2: white tie would have cut a hole cut in it.
Speaker 4: Man, nobody wanted to fight. Mike Tyson's baddest man.
Speaker 8: On the planet is fighting Jake Paul and then they
Speaker 8: push it back because he had health issues or something.
Speaker 4: So now, you man, his gout flared up.
Speaker 9: Problem.
Speaker 4: Probably the black community is we're sitting around here still
Speaker 4: thinking that ll Cool j song bad when he said
Speaker 4: on like Tyson icing on a soldier WAF making sure
Speaker 4: you don't want to battle. That's not that guy. That's
Speaker 4: the guy that I saw in my dorm room get
Speaker 4: knocked out by Buster Douglas in Japan.
Speaker 2: Not he's gone. The myth is gone. I was there
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas when he bit Evander. Holy nobody box
Speaker 2: about I watched. I was like, that's how I do.
Speaker 4: And I remember, man, because I was sitting up in
Speaker 4: the free media seats way high, so you couldn't really
Speaker 4: see something. Nah, that didn't happen because he was like
Speaker 4: it was too right. It was two reactions to him
Speaker 4: like oh they saw, like, oh you didn't. Then his
Speaker 4: fools like nah, right, he didn't. He didn't do what
Speaker 4: I think he did. And so then they stopped and
Speaker 4: he was jumping around and then they had a fight again,
Speaker 4: and then he bit his ear one more time. Oh okay,
Speaker 4: and then they stopped the fight. People letting mad e
Speaker 4: Vanda hold was head buttoned the hell out of it.
Speaker 8: Lennox Lewis was tagging Lex Lewis fight well no, no
Speaker 8: CLINICX no, no no.
Speaker 4: Lenox was the icing on the cake.
Speaker 10: That was was.
Speaker 4: That was the fight that was like, oh oh that
Speaker 4: bad don't work.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 2: I was like to watch this, you gotta watch it.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be gonna be back, and I'm like, let
Speaker 2: me see what Mike got. I'm out of that contract
Speaker 2: his children.
Speaker 4: Lennox was tagging that there. I was like, SI was there?
Speaker 4: So so when I see that, man, I hear I
Speaker 4: just you know, man, what did they say about football?
Speaker 4: Football is a young man's game, for boxing is even
Speaker 4: more so more so. And we've seen too many guys
Speaker 4: out here, man. You know saw Roy Jones, Juli and on. Man,
Speaker 4: it was sad to watch Roy out there, like brother
Speaker 4: put into the house. Oscar day Lay was out there,
Speaker 4: old no no to. Somebody had that conversation with us.
Speaker 4: We saw Trevor Burbick You too young, but we saw
Speaker 4: Trevor BURBICKI and then he got Tupac out there. I mean,
Speaker 4: Larry Holmes looked so bad, Tupac making the songs like
Speaker 4: Larry holds flap. So then you see these thirst videos
Speaker 4: from Mike and You fighting air looking all good like,
Speaker 4: oh you don't want to but.
Speaker 2: You hear that it's not it's not designed for you
Speaker 2: to the videos the video. Nobody's hitting you back on
Speaker 2: the video, like those Trey Lance videos. We saw the
Speaker 2: summer and.
Speaker 8: We outs on air and we saw plenty of those.
Speaker 8: I mean, if God wants to promote Cannon out not
Speaker 8: remember the dead videos you used to see when he
Speaker 8: was out there. Man, look at that, look at that.
Speaker 6: We decided them Zeke trash can videos.
Speaker 2: Where he going through the So he going through the
Speaker 2: Oh he looked every year. It was the same man,
Speaker 2: same every year. Though, what do we do social mediaker's
Speaker 2: fall for it?
Speaker 6: Oh? Oh he looked quick at it.
Speaker 4: Oh he oh, Jerry a look. He wasn't that bad
Speaker 4: in New England. New England was a bad yeah, dynamic.
Speaker 6: He's that man.
Speaker 4: Fooled again, fooled again, and Ezekiel Elliott sent home mutually
Speaker 4: mutually agreed upon the Zeke would stay at home and
Speaker 4: healthy scratch for the game. Before the season, we had
Speaker 4: a we had a little total how many yards Zeke
Speaker 4: would get? Dude it buck forty nine? Who had a
Speaker 4: buck forty nine? That was what he got?
Speaker 8: Right now. I thought somebody predicted the buck forty nine, Like,
Speaker 8: oh man.
Speaker 4: I should play the numbers. I went for sixty five.
Speaker 4: You know, I thought he would get them eight tubs,
Speaker 4: but he had him at five twenty five. He you
Speaker 4: have seven hundred and me. I don't know if he
Speaker 4: gonna meet none of them knows this woman is he
Speaker 4: going to be on the teams? Really? The question, that's
Speaker 4: that's where we're at now. Forget meeting a number. Yeah,
Speaker 4: do you keep him on the team for missing multiple
Speaker 4: meetings and ultimately it comes down professionalism.
Speaker 6: That's what it comes down to. Are you gonna be
Speaker 6: the team player?
Speaker 2: Like, are you like we all understand, you're gonna go
Speaker 2: down with one of the best running backs to ever
Speaker 2: play for the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 6: You know, look at the looking at his numbers.
Speaker 2: But if you're not providing anything for this team as
Speaker 2: far as offensively special teams, and you're gonna also have
Speaker 2: an attitude in the locker room, be a distraction in
Speaker 2: that locker room?
Speaker 6: What warrants the jersey at that point, you know, that's
Speaker 6: where it comes to me, like what warrants you having
Speaker 6: a jersey.
Speaker 2: And still having a spot on the roster if you're
Speaker 2: not gonna go out there and be that scout team
Speaker 2: running back or go out there and give these guys
Speaker 2: a look to what they're playing up against next.
Speaker 6: I understand it.
Speaker 2: It's embarrassing. It's a shot to the pride, it's a
Speaker 2: shot to the ego. I've been there, not my last
Speaker 2: year Jacksonville. I went from starting to just playing on
Speaker 2: third downs, and it hurts. It hurts because you're like, man,
Speaker 2: I can still But then when you look at the tape.
Speaker 2: You gotta look at yourself in the mirror and you
Speaker 2: look at the tape and you sit there and say, man,
Speaker 2: I'm not that player that I once was. One percent
Speaker 2: of the guys that played this game for a long
Speaker 2: stretch of period of time, this happens.
Speaker 4: I mean, look look at Romo his last game for
Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 6: He was on the bench.
Speaker 4: I mean, you look at Jerry Rice. He bounced all
Speaker 4: over the.
Speaker 2: Place, Seattle, Seattle, Jerry right, bounced all over the place.
Speaker 2: Even Danz Bryant, you know, he was cut from here.
Speaker 2: Went to the sense of trying to go back. It
Speaker 2: wasn't able to do it because of injuries. That you
Speaker 2: never leave the game, how you want to leave. The
Speaker 2: only person I was able to do that was Tom Brady.
Speaker 2: He was able to play as long as he wanted
Speaker 2: to play, got to the playoffs, got bounced, and he
Speaker 2: called it today. He rode on his high horse up
Speaker 2: out of here.
Speaker 4: Cowboys. They did left. He did on Super Bowl when
Speaker 4: Michael Strahan left. But you're right out like that. Not
Speaker 4: a fairy tale ending, though, but but but he comes
Speaker 4: to question should this be the end? Look?
Speaker 8: I was one of those people that felt like all
Speaker 8: the success he was laughing having last season, I'm like, damn,
Speaker 8: he could be doing that here for us, you know,
Speaker 8: was missing it. It comes down to it. It's all
Speaker 8: kinds of stories around the building. Who wanted them, who didn't,
Speaker 8: who whatever, who bought him back. We'll never know. I mean,
Speaker 8: it'll never be come out and watch. But whatever the
Speaker 8: expectation was of Zeke hasn't come to fruition. To me,
Speaker 8: I still look at this running room, running back room
Speaker 8: and say, it ain't good. Somebody has to You could
Speaker 8: give it to Rico Dowdle twelve carries seventy five yards,
Speaker 8: probably had one of his best games, fifteen yard run
Speaker 8: that probably let you say, hey, number twenty three has
Speaker 8: some juice to him. But outside of that, you hadn't
Speaker 8: gotten anything. We've been begging for Dak to run the ball.
Speaker 8: Finally got that, and then he blows his hamstring. So
Speaker 8: it's like, damn, you know, we can't win for losing
Speaker 8: in these situations, and we absolutely do not know what
Speaker 8: Deuce has.
Speaker 4: We don't know.
Speaker 6: It's time they got it.
Speaker 4: You gotta show we don't know, and we've asked what
Speaker 4: Dalvin Cook has. Two Carris for eight yards.
Speaker 8: I mean, if it's running back by committee or giving
Speaker 8: guy's opportunity to tote the rock. We're not getting enough
Speaker 8: out of that room, and it's not changing enough of
Speaker 8: the dynamic on the ground game for it to even
Speaker 8: be sufficient.
Speaker 4: Heck, may you said so thing right there, and I
Speaker 4: really really think it goes back to the start of

Speaker 4: wanted it, you tried it, it's not worked out, Say goodbye,

Speaker 4: new coach. At least let that new coach in the
Speaker 4: staff have some real tape of what these guys look like,
Speaker 4: do they fit? Is this something you can work with?

Speaker 4: to look at next year. You've got to start to
