Speaker 4: We are sponsored by Tostito's break Out the Tostitos, Ladies
Speaker 4: and gentlemen, because Sunday you had an opportunity to watch
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, who a thirteen point favorite at the Commanders
Speaker 4: with the ability to win an NFCC and the Commanders
Speaker 4: have to win. The Commanders have no incented to win
Speaker 4: because right now they to the number two pick in
Speaker 4: the NFL Draft. I know Ron Rivera is about to
Speaker 4: get fired and maybe he wanted to go ahead and
Speaker 4: do the love you you know, so I did check.
Speaker 4: I checked with my Washington contact on it. He's like, dude,
Speaker 4: these dudes.
Speaker 5: These dudes don't care, you know, flight book like they
Speaker 5: trust to healthy.
Speaker 4: Get up this thing live you get ready. But anyway, heck,
Speaker 4: I want to start with you, my man, because the
Speaker 4: Cowboys are about to win the n f C East.
Speaker 2: Was coming.
Speaker 6: We've been talking about all this five we've been talking
Speaker 6: about you know, five dollars, but we've been on the
Speaker 6: same page when we talk about the fact that the
Speaker 6: Cowboys need a home game. That's that's so this this
Speaker 6: team from the beginning of the season. This team from
Speaker 6: the beginning of the season.
Speaker 2: That's this team, this.
Speaker 6: Team from the beginning of the season. You go all
Speaker 6: the way back to last season. They have not lost
Speaker 6: at home since Tom Brady beat them at home first
Speaker 6: game of the season last year. And look, this is
Speaker 6: this is one of those things where we talked about
Speaker 6: doctor Jacko, mister Hyde on this team home and away.
Speaker 6: This is why the winning the NFC East is so important.
Speaker 6: And I guess that's statistic about the NFC East not
Speaker 6: having a back to back champion, since I don't know
Speaker 6: what a number number is, something crazy like this is
Speaker 6: this this division is so lopsided when it comes down
Speaker 6: to who will dominate the next season. But Hey, it
Speaker 6: played out, Play it out newly and Arizona and Colin
Speaker 6: Murray gave us the biggest Christmas gift New Year's gift. Hey,
Speaker 6: we're with and I'm saying, I'm putting IF on this
Speaker 6: because I'm not counting chickens before they had police.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 6: But man, we got to send them a hat in
Speaker 6: a in a T shirt when we man, we got
Speaker 6: to send him one of the FedEx Man, we got
Speaker 6: to send shout out the column man, Colin Man, he's
Speaker 6: gonna put some pressure on you. Man and him and
Speaker 6: James Connor, they went out there and did they think.
Speaker 3: Whe to Matt Patricia two?
Speaker 7: Now, oh, absolutely, we seen him too.
Speaker 8: You gotta go, you gotta keep him, keep it.
Speaker 4: I told you when they went to him with the
Speaker 4: panic movement, Why gosh, he's if Conna didn't throw the
Speaker 4: dog on pick you know. I mean he gave him
Speaker 4: seven right there.
Speaker 3: Forty six million dollars. Boy, man came through for it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, they beat Philly, they beat Dallas.
Speaker 4: I mean they might want a little taste of that
Speaker 4: chick that nf c's championship.
Speaker 8: Ye, go ahead and get him, right.
Speaker 6: They shout up the congratulations man, congratulations did you keep
Speaker 6: You kept the NFC East winners after the reshuffle.
Speaker 7: All these problems.
Speaker 2: To it's been a lot going.
Speaker 7: You want to be honest with you. You don't want
Speaker 7: to get caught slipping. I know you're.
Speaker 2: Got You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: We're not going to get slipping with learned it from you,
Speaker 6: Baseball Dusty by.
Speaker 2: Watching me, see me, see me? Can you keep it?
Speaker 7: Can you get us back up to day on?
Speaker 6: You know how we thought that the season would play
Speaker 6: out after the bye week came and just just to
Speaker 6: see what we're because, congratulations because you did keep it
Speaker 6: and you picked it from the beginning, and we was
Speaker 6: laughing at you.
Speaker 7: Hey, it's me.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 6: You should have made that bet though I should have
Speaker 6: made to you, I should have made twenty off the
Speaker 6: plane and the NFC. That's how he begged you to
Speaker 6: make the NF. But if they scared money, don't make money,
Speaker 6: that's what they now. Can we be fair and say
Speaker 6: that we still need to go ahead and win this game. Yeah,
Speaker 6: we we have been. We have opportunities before, Like before
Speaker 6: the game started, you go in there, you say we
Speaker 6: got to beat Washington to make sure that we if
Speaker 6: everything else falls in place, that we get what we
Speaker 6: want and then go out there and fumble the bag.
Speaker 3: So we still And that was why I captured tried
Speaker 3: to capture.
Speaker 4: The incentive of Washington. This number two pick is so valuable.
Speaker 4: Chicago locked up the number one pick, so that's where
Speaker 4: they're at. So you've got Washington, New England. I can't
Speaker 4: remember who's right behind them. They've all got the same record.
Speaker 4: But Washington can go ahead lock this thing up. And
Speaker 4: the value in being number two this year is massive
Speaker 4: if you want to keep it or if you want
Speaker 4: to trade it.
Speaker 3: So if I'm Josh Harris and.
Speaker 4: Ownership, I'm going to Ron rivera, Hey man, we need
Speaker 4: some young guys.
Speaker 5: But what's the what's the if they do miraculously win?
Speaker 5: How far down today drop?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 8: Is it from two to all? The way you get
Speaker 8: to the sixth pick?
Speaker 3: You could be two to four?
Speaker 8: You don't get it.
Speaker 2: I got you guys in there, you know, man, because
Speaker 2: watching the game last night.
Speaker 6: But it's nice. I left, He's nice. You got Jane
Speaker 6: Danis Cable. You got some guys in there. If you
Speaker 6: looking for a quarterback, who you say? Because you already
Speaker 6: know it's gonna go one, two, three and then three two.
Speaker 6: After the combine and all that, there's gonna be another
Speaker 6: guy to pop up who nobody ever heard of, Daniel
Speaker 6: Jones and those guys, and then you're gonna end up
Speaker 6: just like that if you keep fooling around.
Speaker 4: And so my my point of being number two, Danny
Speaker 4: is you want to have the flexing reality. You look
Speaker 4: at what Chicago got last year and making that trade
Speaker 4: with Carolina, who moved up to number one, so you
Speaker 4: got their picking. You don't even have to be well
Speaker 4: this year because Carolina was so bad, so you got
Speaker 4: their picking you. But if you're sitting at number two,
Speaker 4: you're gonna have a whole lot of power. Which is
Speaker 4: why when I think about the Cowboy game being a
Speaker 4: thirteen point favorite, Washington's got no incentive the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: At every incidive. You know, everybody need to go out
Speaker 3: hey man, you know you know we need you.
Speaker 7: We know what you need.
Speaker 3: It's going out there and do this thing.
Speaker 8: See, as a player, you gonna go out there and
Speaker 8: try toss that thing.
Speaker 4: But he couldn't play last week. This is what ownership
Speaker 4: like he'd been. He'd been not be out there, but
Speaker 4: not be out there. This this is what ownership has
Speaker 4: to get involved. Owners All the ownership got to do
Speaker 4: is look at Houston when Lovey did him. It worked
Speaker 4: out for Houston. Sure they had to make trades and
Speaker 4: what not because Lovey didn't help him out. But if
Speaker 4: you're a Washington's ownership, this is your ability to not
Speaker 4: only get the number two pick, give you some options,
Speaker 4: but you're gonna fire a gym and fire the head.
Speaker 3: You can do a true reset.
Speaker 2: Here because this is what Flores was beeping about in Miami.
Speaker 8: That's gonna be hard to do. Cowboys should they should win,
Speaker 8: you know, just because because just on football a loan.
Speaker 5: But it's gonna be hard to have those guys go
Speaker 5: out there and not want to give it.
Speaker 8: They all not want to go out there and get
Speaker 8: the job.
Speaker 6: Some of those dudes are playing for like we know,
Speaker 6: we all getting released, okay, so I need to make sure. Okay,
Speaker 6: So if you're in active, active or you just don't
Speaker 6: get to.
Speaker 3: Play that day, there are there. Management has ways to
Speaker 3: go out and get it done done.
Speaker 4: But heckman, there's no incentive by Washington to win, and
Speaker 4: there's every incentive by the Cowboys to win this.
Speaker 6: No, y'all don't trust it. I don't trust it. I
Speaker 6: think I'm on the same train with y'all. And that's
Speaker 6: why we can only control what we can control. We
Speaker 6: control our guys. And that's where where I know this
Speaker 6: thing is layered going into the last week, depending on
Speaker 6: what Washington does. And it would be great if they
Speaker 6: played the twelve o'clock and instead of playing at the
Speaker 6: same time, because the decision would be made for us.
Speaker 6: But you gotta go out there and take care of business.
Speaker 6: You know, you got to win this game. Like every
Speaker 6: week is just a muscle. Is this a must win?
Speaker 6: This is the must win. So for the Cowboys, like,
Speaker 6: how do you, as as Mike McCarthy being the leader
Speaker 6: of this team, how do you layer with your team
Speaker 6: and say, all right, we're gonna rest this guy, we're
Speaker 6: gonna start this guy.
Speaker 4: But he'restedodybody everybody abdy okay.
Speaker 6: So that's what that's how it may hurt was playing.
Speaker 6: That's all. I'm a hands on dack once again.
Speaker 4: So when I said Washington has no no reason to
Speaker 4: Dallas has every reason. Everybody playing, everybody playing, you know
Speaker 4: better get up twenty off the plane twenty five off
Speaker 4: the plane on this one. I mean you have to
Speaker 4: come at these dudes from the jump, beat them in
Speaker 4: the submission and make them want to quit.
Speaker 3: Make sure you go.
Speaker 4: I mean you're you're the cowboy I mean, and this
Speaker 4: is you guys, are Danny Bear? You the former players?
Speaker 4: I mean, this should be one in the locker room
Speaker 4: real quick. Hey, hey, beat them down from the kickoff.
Speaker 5: All they gotta do is show was that last year
Speaker 5: when they went to Washington and Washington and Sam how
Speaker 5: I got to throw that tape on.
Speaker 8: If you McCarthy, you can bring them on all the
Speaker 8: team meeting room.
Speaker 5: Now, you throw on that last year's tape where we
Speaker 5: had or the Cowboys hadn't sent us to win that game.
Speaker 5: All the starters were playing Dak, everybody was out there
Speaker 5: playing and they ended up getting getting stumped by the Commanders.
Speaker 5: You don't want that same situation coming back into this game,
Speaker 5: especially with the ramifications of being either the number two
Speaker 5: seed or possibly the number two seed or you can
Speaker 5: go all the way down to what five.
Speaker 8: And you don't want no problems with that.
Speaker 5: So if I'm McCarthy, I'm showing them, boy, this is
Speaker 5: exactly what happens when you overlook an opponent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had no.
Speaker 5: Incentive to go out there and win this game because
Speaker 5: you want the earlier pick.
Speaker 8: But you gotta show up that you got to.
Speaker 4: By the way, God blessed Chris Bean forgiving us the
Speaker 4: sheet each week.
Speaker 3: Washington is not won since week nine.
Speaker 6: Wow, this is the definition of what you've been speaking
Speaker 6: about the entire season when you talk about trap and
Speaker 6: not trapped.
Speaker 2: Because you don't think the guys are good.
Speaker 6: It's so much on the line coming out of Washington saying, hey, man,
Speaker 6: the dude, we don't know number two because we hear it.
Speaker 6: But then also other people know what they got on
Speaker 6: the team.
Speaker 7: Friend might be like, man.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we I'm trying to get to Vegas. And thenfore,
Speaker 6: you know what, you walk out there on on a
Speaker 6: field where you thought, because of the how you played
Speaker 6: before and what they don't have to play for that
Speaker 6: it's going to be easy.
Speaker 7: And you get a.
Speaker 6: Couple of guys out there who was like, hey, I'm
Speaker 6: not standing down on nothing, and.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, You're in a fight, all right,
Speaker 2: because like it happens. It's the league.
Speaker 6: We've seen teams go out there against teams that we
Speaker 6: knew they should have lost, and then you look up
Speaker 6: on Monday morning you're like, hold on, the score was what?
Speaker 3: And this is where your head coach has to step up,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 4: So Mike McCarthy, Dan Quinn, Brian Schottenheim, Loondall was, everybody
Speaker 4: involved on the coaching staff has to let everybody know
Speaker 4: the importance of this. Now, there been rumblings about Mike
Speaker 4: McCarthy and an extension. Yeah, what's a good way to
Speaker 4: go ahead, lock up an extension for yourself right now?
Speaker 4: Win the division three straight, twelve and five seasons.
Speaker 3: So, I mean, there's so much incentive around here for
Speaker 3: the football team. And we talked before about your hopes
Speaker 3: and dreams.
Speaker 4: You guys are absolutely right in terms of them playing
Speaker 4: at home with eight no at home this year, potential
Speaker 4: for two games.
Speaker 3: Everything you want is here.
Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, what if somebody just beats
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers for you?
Speaker 3: It could happen. It could happen. So if you're the.
Speaker 4: Cowboys, everything you want is sitting right here now.
Speaker 6: I was under the impression that the forty nineers had
Speaker 6: already locked up one they did.
Speaker 7: They said, somebody knocked them out.
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, yeah, no, I got you, I got you.
Speaker 4: No, That's what I'm saying. They still have to play
Speaker 4: a game, a divisional game.
Speaker 6: And you know now they Commander's game. Commander's in the
Speaker 6: forty nine has just played that correct? If anybody watch
Speaker 6: that game, it was in that game it was ten
Speaker 6: to ten then and then as you got on deeper
Speaker 6: into it, they started rolling. It was a competitive game,
Speaker 6: so you know, like and Trent Williams played, I know,
Speaker 6: we was all they were healthy and they went out there.
Speaker 6: At the beginning of the game. I was like, look
Speaker 6: at Washington, might miss around and help us out over
Speaker 6: here too.
Speaker 10: Man.
Speaker 6: That's what I sit the tweet, I mean it text
Speaker 6: about Arizona, like look at Colin. Before you know what,
Speaker 6: everything will fall in the place. But we'll we'll take
Speaker 6: the one out of two and we'll take the two seats.
Speaker 6: We'll take that handle. You've been two home game.
Speaker 4: Hopes and dreams are right here. If I were a player,
Speaker 4: I would be very excited this week. You did your part.
Speaker 3: Everything is cool. By the way, even.
Speaker 4: As I walked in here, I keep hearing people like
Speaker 4: all week by that referee took care of the cowboy,
Speaker 4: didn't it. Referee took care of the Cowboys, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 4: you're that referee, Brad Allen with the college.
Speaker 6: Together another one of your guys with a hun with
Speaker 6: a hugging right before the game.
Speaker 2: Hey, just because I like, I just want to get
Speaker 2: this in.
Speaker 6: I want to get I want to get this in,
Speaker 6: you know, because it's already rolling. Okay, this is a
Speaker 6: chance for the Cowboys to shut up all and they says.
Speaker 2: Let them know. We got the East two leting. They say,
Speaker 2: is no man by.
Speaker 3: The way, Bill O'Brien looking at last play like I told.
Speaker 4: You last, But what is Alabama doing?

Speaker 4: Day, Happy New Year, Players lounges right here on Dallas
Speaker 4: Cowboys dot Com or radio here at the Star, where
Speaker 4: the Cowboys headquarters are located, and everything the Cowboys want
Speaker 4: is in front of them right now, gentlemen, to the
Speaker 4: forty nine Ers have locked up the number one seed
Speaker 4: with a win on Sunday. The Cowboys whin the NFC East.
Speaker 4: They lock up the number two seed, which means they
Speaker 4: will have a home playoff game.
Speaker 3: Win that game, got another.
Speaker 4: Home playoff game is if somebody happens to beat the
Speaker 4: forty nine ers, could have the NFC championship game in
Speaker 4: Jerry World.
Speaker 3: So all your hopes of dreams right there.
Speaker 5: They're right, they're right there. And this team, I think
Speaker 5: they can't. They had opportunity to see it up. We
Speaker 5: all understand that coming up with this Washington thing. But
Speaker 5: for me going forward, you know, Washington, hopefully we get
Speaker 5: that thing knocked out whatever it is. Going forward, defensively,
Speaker 5: we got to get better in the situation.
Speaker 8: You got to I understand taking.
Speaker 2: The football away.
Speaker 5: Taking the football away is great, and I understand if
Speaker 5: you win to turn over battle nine times out of
Speaker 5: ten times, you're gonna win that game.
Speaker 8: We all understand that.
Speaker 5: But this is two weeks in a row now where situationally,
Speaker 5: this defense has gotten got Basically, you go back to Miami.
Speaker 5: We all sat apparent and said, hey, you know, Miami
Speaker 5: that all they needed was a field goal.
Speaker 8: You know, offensively, you should say, all right, man, we
Speaker 8: might be able to concede that. You know, we might
Speaker 8: be able to concede that so you look at that
Speaker 8: the last draft. They need to stop.
Speaker 5: They weren't able to get to stop whatever the case
Speaker 5: may be, face mass penalty, whatever the case may be,
Speaker 5: they weren't able to get that. Stock Fast forward to
Speaker 5: last week, once again, situationally, there was an opportunity for
Speaker 5: this defense to go out there make a stop game.
Speaker 5: Oh call it a rap golf, had the whole field
Speaker 5: to drive. We should be able to make that stop.
Speaker 5: What happened we said, field goal. Yeah, that was a
Speaker 5: little push. They needed a touchdown. Not only that, you know,
Speaker 5: if I was a fit two point conversion, they had
Speaker 5: it right there as well. So to me going forward defensively,
Speaker 5: because there's going to be those games in the postseason
Speaker 5: where yeah, they'll get three or four takeaways, but it
Speaker 5: might still come down to this one drive. And defensively,
Speaker 5: we saw the past two weeks for whatever reason, they
Speaker 5: aren't able to get these stops, and to me, going forward,
Speaker 5: that's got to be something where you're like, hey, defense,
Speaker 5: we two minute drill, whatever the case may be, you
Speaker 5: got to be able to short that up because you're
Speaker 5: not going against bums a quarterback going from now on.
Speaker 6: You know, after this Washington game, you have to yes, yeah,
Speaker 6: because I was field goal all that stuff last week ahead,
Speaker 6: you're right now ahead, and I'm watching it. I'm like
Speaker 6: I'm waiting for because I'm like, okay, now they need
Speaker 6: a touchdown.
Speaker 7: This is your opportunity. This your opportunity.
Speaker 6: You got your golf back there, defense has been playing
Speaker 6: fairly well for the game. You got an opportunity now
Speaker 6: to go out here make sure they don't score touch
Speaker 6: down and you don't get it done. And I think
Speaker 6: that is a mark like that last week was that'st
Speaker 6: two weeks in a row, like it's starting now. I'm
Speaker 6: a mark of like, hey man, I'm gonna be nervous
Speaker 6: at every two minute drill before the half at the
Speaker 6: end of the game, if we not up by nine,
Speaker 6: then I don't know what type of confidence I have
Speaker 6: in us being able to stop an offense in that
Speaker 6: type of situation, Knowing the offenses that you may be
Speaker 6: facing in the playoffs, that is something that you do
Speaker 6: need to get fixed. I don't know how, because I
Speaker 6: don't know what was called and all that stuff, but
Speaker 6: those mojo moments when you at practice and you're going
Speaker 6: through two minute drill, those are times when you have
Speaker 6: to figure out a way not to let them into
Speaker 6: the end zone because it is so much harder to
Speaker 6: score a touchdown in that situation than it is to
Speaker 6: score a field goal, and you got the players on
Speaker 6: defense to do it. I just don't know what's happened
Speaker 6: over the last two weeks when you play two of
Speaker 6: the better offenses International Football League, but you cannot give
Speaker 6: up a touchdown in that situation.
Speaker 2: But thankfully shout out to that offense, the offense. Man.
Speaker 6: That's why I said were not historically and all that stuff.
Speaker 6: Now offense has to be playing well. Both of them
Speaker 6: have to be playing well in order for us to
Speaker 6: go where we want to go.
Speaker 3: Heckman, your thoughts when you actually sent.
Speaker 4: To us the TWEETLEL Collins working out for the Cowboys today.
Speaker 6: I just think about guys like Josh Vall, how bad
Speaker 6: that whole thing must be. Will let's go the guys
Speaker 6: like that Chulee Doga, and what the offensive line coaches
Speaker 6: and just staff are dealing with right now.
Speaker 2: You're in a situation, especially with Tyler.
Speaker 6: Smith being hurt, where you're worried about the left guard position,
Speaker 6: and I think that's where it is. When you said
Speaker 6: I see him as left guard. I do too. I
Speaker 6: don't see him as a tackle. I see him as
Speaker 6: a guard, and strangely oddly enough, that's where I thought
Speaker 6: he was better suited when he came out of college
Speaker 6: when they had him at guard, but they made him
Speaker 6: a right tackle. Look, my thing is this, no matter
Speaker 6: what you do, this last game is utmost important to me.
Speaker 6: He is a guy that I know that can get
Speaker 6: give you some depth there. But I'm firmly believing in TJ.
Speaker 6: Bass at this point. The guy that said left guard, Now,
Speaker 6: I don't know about a plantar fast shitest. I know
Speaker 6: you guys have been broken up over your career, so
Speaker 6: I don't know if you've had this. Okay, okay, So
Speaker 6: but I know it's painful, you know, I know it's painful,
Speaker 6: but I know it's something that they're saying that he
Speaker 6: can deal with. My thought process on him is sit him. Okay,
Speaker 6: sit him, because I don't want to either make it worse,
Speaker 6: irritated wherever it can go. We absolutely need our all
Speaker 6: everything left guard to show up.
Speaker 2: We need that.
Speaker 6: But I was thinking about you during the game, Dog,
Speaker 6: and I said, my man, d Max, he's hanging by
Speaker 6: a thread. He's hanging by a thread with Dad Quid
Speaker 6: and that defense because because you're right situationally, you know
Speaker 6: what's going on. But it's like, come on, DQ, now,
Speaker 6: don't call that again. You know they're gonna pick up
Speaker 6: on that. Don't go man right here, you know. And
Speaker 6: it's those situations that I think I'm not I know
Speaker 6: still in DQ.
Speaker 7: We trust.
Speaker 2: You're still there.
Speaker 6: I just feel like our defense at some point the
Speaker 6: warts that they can't cover up. They have to compensate
Speaker 6: another areas taking the ball away, you gotta compensate. You
Speaker 6: gotta compensate in other areas. Because teams are understanding. Man,
Speaker 6: you light, you light up front, you light, and they're
Speaker 6: gonna and when they can take advantage of what you have,
Speaker 6: they do and you and like you just said, you're
Speaker 6: not gonna come up against any cupcake offensive lines that
Speaker 6: are gonna be able. That's gonna let you get away
Speaker 6: with that unless you're playing with the league. And I'm
Speaker 6: just saying forty points at the crib, I want to
Speaker 6: be home. Yeah, listen, I'm gonna continue to say this. Okay,
Speaker 6: you hold a team.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no listen.
Speaker 6: No. With all that being said, you're right, and you
Speaker 6: gotta be able to stop You gotta be able to
Speaker 6: stop them in.
Speaker 2: That situation in the NFL.
Speaker 6: Okay, if you are holding the team at nineteen twenty
Speaker 6: two points and you got all these weapons on offense
Speaker 6: and you you need to be able to score more
Speaker 6: than that. Okay, because because I'm still saying that, you're
Speaker 6: not a historically great defense, all right, so I'm not
Speaker 6: expecting you to be able to shut the team out.
Speaker 7: But it's up.
Speaker 6: Hey man, we got that, we got CD, we got
Speaker 6: we got we got Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 2: You got to be putting up more than what somebody.
Speaker 7: And they did. And they did.
Speaker 6: One morning, you know that one shout out to that
Speaker 6: tripping call. We're all talking about, shout to the tripping call.
Speaker 6: How many points they got? Come on, now they're falling
Speaker 6: out there. You know they had to say to what.
Speaker 2: Let it play out, lay out.
Speaker 8: Let them play play out.
Speaker 3: That's all we gotta do, man, Let them play out
Speaker 3: one hundred twenty five yard.
Speaker 4: Damien Wilson, former linebacker with the Cowboys, also is in
Speaker 4: for a tryout. Well, Damien, you know your former player
Speaker 4: thoughts on that when I was playing with him, he
Speaker 4: was a good player.
Speaker 5: I mean, he was one of them special teams cast
Speaker 5: that you know, run through a brick wall. And then
Speaker 5: he got some time to play on the defensive side
Speaker 5: of the football, and he really took advantage of it.
Speaker 5: So I didn't really get to see him much last year.
Speaker 5: I believe Chris Being told us he played for Carolina.
Speaker 5: I want to say I didn't really see much on
Speaker 5: him last year, but when he was here and when
Speaker 5: he was with Kansas City and they won that Super Bowl,
Speaker 5: I think he was a stud linebacker.
Speaker 6: He was a young guy, very young when I was here,
Speaker 6: so yeah, he was. He was my special team's gout.
Speaker 6: He was one of those dudes, So don't I don't
Speaker 6: know much about him on defense, but then if you
Speaker 6: put him in there on special teams and he's gonna
Speaker 6: be have a role there as well, then I think
Speaker 6: I think he helps you out, especially with some depth
Speaker 6: in linebacker. I think you need that. And the same
Speaker 6: things we talked about Tyler Smith earlier. I think I
Speaker 6: think the Layo Collins thing, it shures you up in
Speaker 6: a few spots because you know, Tyrn Smith is great, okay,
Speaker 6: but you never know when something may happen. Then you
Speaker 6: had an opportunity, you had that situation where you were
Speaker 6: Zach Martin right, and then now you lose Tyler Smith.
Speaker 6: You like, we need more depth at that position. It
Speaker 6: was late in the season. They gonna throw him out there.
Speaker 6: You better than Peters.
Speaker 3: That's all he.
Speaker 7: Needs to be.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I'm saying if something else were to
Speaker 6: we have had issues. We have had issues. You need
Speaker 6: you need at least a body to put it in there,
Speaker 6: because it's some guys we just don't trust.
Speaker 2: To go in the game.
Speaker 8: It's a few real quick. What's the name went off Hutchinson.
Speaker 6: He went off. Everybody plays, make no mistake. That is
Speaker 6: the real deal. And the secondary and the secondary they
Speaker 6: gave up two twenty whatever, they gave up the CD.
Speaker 6: But other than that, man they were having they were
Speaker 6: playing some outstanding ball on defense. They had some broken
Speaker 6: plays obviously that we were I don't know, fifty five
Speaker 6: months be with the game being no crime.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know what's I don't miss that one?
Speaker 2: How do you miss that? Man? Do you miss how
Speaker 2: you getting small?
Speaker 7: It small?
Speaker 6: You can't get what I'm watching that on film as
Speaker 6: a coach, and I'm upset and you know that that's
Speaker 6: the player when you.
Speaker 2: Don't get a vision like, oh god, I guess.
Speaker 7: Zero.
Speaker 2: It was nobody back there. I didn't miss that. How
Speaker 2: do you? I mean? And I'm looking at it.
Speaker 6: I'm like, man, that's that is That's one of those
Speaker 6: crazy things that happened in football. That's that's unexplainable. Will
Speaker 6: take it. But no, that defensive line, that line there,
Speaker 6: that team in general that I was really impressed with
Speaker 6: the line with the Lions. That's a tough squad. You know,
Speaker 6: I didn't understand. I'm telling you. Dan Campbell confused me.
Speaker 6: I'm serious.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 6: I'm like, man, if somebody have a spell on this dude,
Speaker 6: why don't ownership call down to the sideline and say
Speaker 6: to him.
Speaker 2: Kick the field goal? Kick the field goal?
Speaker 6: And I know we that took away from what you
Speaker 6: would have been talking about Mike McCarthy there at the
Speaker 6: end of the game and him throwing those passes instead
Speaker 6: of running the ball to run the clock out, the
Speaker 6: tripping penalty and all of that. But you're at a
Speaker 6: at a point where coaches are just blowing games with
Speaker 6: bad decisions.
Speaker 8: Let me ask you this, Let me ask all y'all
Speaker 8: real quick.
Speaker 5: In that situation, I'm about the last play, the two
Speaker 5: minute things all right, understandable. You don't get it the
Speaker 5: first time, for whatever reason, you get another opportunity. You
Speaker 5: end up going forward again. It's our sides or whatever
Speaker 5: it was for the second two point conversion. At that point,
Speaker 5: God is telling me something. You gotta kick right, and
Speaker 5: I gotta kick it on that one.
Speaker 2: You should.
Speaker 6: I feel like the man had this, like he already
Speaker 6: knew this was how it was gonna play out if
Speaker 6: he got in that situation up during the week. We're
Speaker 6: going up to Das, were playing on the road. We
Speaker 6: got a chance to win it. I don't care, and
Speaker 6: I'm not I'm not getting off that bus. I'm not
Speaker 6: getting off that bus. And he stuck with it, and
Speaker 6: he stuck with it and that one works. So in
Speaker 6: his mind he's like, I got another one that to work,
Speaker 6: and you know, he helped us out.
Speaker 2: So shout out, shout out to kick that was. That was.
Speaker 6: That was probably one of the weirdest moments in football
Speaker 6: that I've ever had. When I'm watching the guy, you
Speaker 6: get the penalty, you move back, you're at the seven
Speaker 6: yard line, and you still elect to go. I mean,
Speaker 6: like then you get saved again either, Like sums up.
Speaker 6: That was a weird situation.
Speaker 4: I went to his press conference after the game because
Speaker 4: I just wanted to hear the explanation.
Speaker 3: So you know, they're asking him and he's trying.
Speaker 4: To be all mad every time, you know, frustrated, and
Speaker 4: he was like, Bro, you messed up. Just come on
Speaker 4: out and just say you said whatever you want about
Speaker 4: the rest. But June as a decision maker messed up
Speaker 4: because after the two it's time to go ahead, kick
Speaker 4: the point, went after take it overtime, but his old
Speaker 4: bravado and all that kind of his ego would let
Speaker 4: him do it.
Speaker 3: So I'm just like sitting there just listening to this
Speaker 3: whole thing.
Speaker 4: And then they kept it short and the PR guy
Speaker 4: was trying to protect him and he left.
Speaker 3: But he didn't want to really be.
Speaker 4: Accountable for his decision as a head coach to just
Speaker 4: simply say, Okay, we tried it, let's abort, make an adjustment.
Speaker 3: We not to make an adjustment now and move on
Speaker 3: out of this.
Speaker 4: But hey, he'll be okay because everybody in Detroit is
Speaker 4: fine from the standpoint that they are NFC North champs.
Speaker 3: They're spending the whole week saying how they got.
Speaker 4: Ribbed, and he's he's basically going to be let off
Speaker 4: the hook for pulling the Brandon Staley here and not
Speaker 4: using why judgment.
Speaker 2: No, he did the expectation and in destroyed is a
Speaker 2: lot lower.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 6: The fact fact they won the North and the first
Speaker 6: time I don't know how long, and they're hosting a
Speaker 6: whole playoff game. I think at that point it like
Speaker 6: we're playing with house money.
Speaker 2: I think it's a.
Speaker 6: Horrible But Danny, you right, I mean you, Danny, You're
Speaker 6: absolutely right. Because that was the thing that really shocked
Speaker 6: me when he came in and said, I went to
Speaker 6: the referee, I showed them exactly what we were going
Speaker 6: to do. I told them how many guys were going
Speaker 6: to walk up to it and report, and we did
Speaker 6: exactly that. So they already had that play circle, they
Speaker 6: knew how they were going to try and execute it.
Speaker 6: And when it didn't work according to plan, after he
Speaker 6: had already explained it, I think that's what he was
Speaker 6: livid about.
Speaker 2: That man, I already.
Speaker 6: Told y'all was about to try some triggeration and you
Speaker 6: ain't let the play.
Speaker 7: Go that chasing it and let me get my money
Speaker 7: back and then.
Speaker 2: You know that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Wall. If it don't work the first time, then go
Speaker 6: ahead and kick the field, Go take the two point,
Speaker 6: I mean take the pat and then go into overtime.
Speaker 6: But I just thought that was crazy.
Speaker 4: Let's get a break in here. There's a running back
Speaker 4: who's about to become a free agent. Jerry Jones said
Speaker 4: on his radio show today he has a concerned about
Speaker 4: the running game. Let's dive into that next with Mary Churcheckmharrison,

Speaker 8: Back to the players lounge.
Speaker 3: All right, this comes from Tom.
Speaker 2: You're muted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It wouldn't be the new year.
Speaker 8: How's that.
Speaker 3: Talk about that? He turned out because Shannon's in here
Speaker 3: before me. I don't know Shan has a hearing problem, but.
Speaker 7: It's blasted.
Speaker 2: Walking in the street.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 3: It's like, so I'm like this, so I hit the
Speaker 3: new button. My bad, bad.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 4: Tom Pelasero of NFL dot Com has put out on
Speaker 4: social media four time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook
Speaker 4: and the Jets have mutually agreed to part ways, allowing
Speaker 4: Cook the opportunity to play for a playoff team per
Speaker 4: his agency LA Sports Entertainment. So based on what is
Speaker 4: being reported, he could potentially become free. I bring this
Speaker 4: up because Jerry Jones on his radio show today said
Speaker 4: he does have a concern for the Cowboys running game,
Speaker 4: which we can't remember the last time they had one
Speaker 4: hundred yards in a game. And I can't tell you, man,
Speaker 4: last time I think Tony Pollitt's had one hundred yard,
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 8: Really remember it.
Speaker 4: So Dalvincook, would you entertain him if you are the Cowboys?
Speaker 4: Based on this tweet from NFL dot coms Tom pela sera, no, I.
Speaker 6: Mean, listen, there's a reason why he couldn't crack the
Speaker 6: lineup up there with the Jets. They were trying to
Speaker 6: get that figured out, like he was frustrated, never really
Speaker 6: got a chance to get going. And I don't think
Speaker 6: he's better than Tony Poller when I'm looking at a
Speaker 6: guy like Tony Poller. I don't want to then take
Speaker 6: touches away from him because you want to see, now
Speaker 6: what Brent, what Dalvin Cook to do? Like, I don't
Speaker 6: want to see that. If we're going to figure out
Speaker 6: a way to fix our running game, the guy that
Speaker 6: we're paying ten million dollars to, that's the guy that
Speaker 6: we need to try to figure out how to get going. Like,
Speaker 6: I don't even want those questions to be like, oh,
Speaker 6: well give Seith Mo Carris and this dude man only
Speaker 6: getting sixteen.
Speaker 2: Look, I'm going to say it like this.
Speaker 6: You know, Dalvin Cook made a mistake by going to
Speaker 6: the Jets anyway, he thought that Breece Hall was hurt.
Speaker 2: Brist Hall came back better than that.
Speaker 6: Was.
Speaker 2: Is that what brist Hall got burning? They was like
Speaker 2: they looked over Davin, like what are you here for?
Speaker 6: They let him make that money all the way through
Speaker 6: the season and cut him at the end of the
Speaker 6: season because he wasn't gonna get no burn anyway for
Speaker 6: whatever incentive was there if he was on the roster
Speaker 6: or whatever. But look at this point, y'all, we've got
Speaker 6: to be genuinely concerned about our running game. Last week
Speaker 6: you were talking about touches where Tony Poler was gonna
Speaker 6: be I was saying, Hey, we just need him to
Speaker 6: mimic some other guys on other teams that never got
Speaker 6: that production.
Speaker 2: Either. Go ahead, you don't forget nothing.
Speaker 6: No, but it's one of those We're in a situation
Speaker 6: right now as you as you have mentioned, when you're
Speaker 6: going deep into the playoffs, especially I'm just talking about
Speaker 6: at this point San Francisco, you have to have a
Speaker 6: guy that can control the ground. You have to you
Speaker 6: and we're at the point right now, especially with all
Speaker 6: the conversations that we've had about CD thirteen for two
Speaker 6: twenty seven and two touchdowns. He only had one, but
Speaker 6: the one that went through the end zone a touchback.
Speaker 6: That's the kind of game you need from CD in
Speaker 6: Candlestick or in Levy Stadium. He's somebody's gonna have to
Speaker 6: go off if we don't have a running game. And
Speaker 6: right now, you can't trust your running game. And that's
Speaker 6: why I think at that just to milk the clock
Speaker 6: the end of the game, Mike McCarthy could not depend
Speaker 6: on a running game to at least make them burn
Speaker 6: time out, to at least put them into a situation
Speaker 6: where look, they're scrambling to try and at least get
Speaker 6: a few seconds. That's what a good running game would
Speaker 6: do for you, you know. And I'm saying no also
Speaker 6: because again it's an unknown.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if he had if
Speaker 2: Dalvin has it.
Speaker 6: But at the same time, we've got to figure out
Speaker 6: a way over the next five weeks because that's what
Speaker 6: we're playing for the next five weeks to get to Vegas.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be with at least twenty five percent better
Speaker 6: than what we're getting in the running game right now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm gonna make it three at three.
Speaker 5: You know, I'm saying no when it comes to Dalvin Cook,
Speaker 5: and it's just simply believed because I don't believe, you know,
Speaker 5: not only is he not better than Pollard, I don't
Speaker 5: think he's better than Rico. If we look at it,
Speaker 5: you know, from out this sea throughout the season and
Speaker 5: what we've seen from both players.
Speaker 8: You know, I think Rico is a better option right
Speaker 8: now then then Cook is.
Speaker 5: And that's what it really comes down to, because you know,
Speaker 5: I can't defend my guy anymore, you know, Tony Pollard,
Speaker 5: you know, trying to stand on the table saying we
Speaker 5: need to give them more cares. They gave him the
Speaker 5: opportunities and you just, you know, nothing came to fluition
Speaker 5: when you talk about that Detroit game and what they
Speaker 5: were able to do on the ground. So to me,
Speaker 5: you know, if it was a if there was a
Speaker 5: guy out there that you know, maybe could be better
Speaker 5: than Rico, then for sure, I say, you know, kick
Speaker 5: the tires on them. But to me, I don't think
Speaker 5: Cook gives you a better option than Rico Dala at
Speaker 5: this point. So I stick with those two guys.
Speaker 4: So I'm going to disagree with all three of you
Speaker 4: from the five yard mark. In been a problem, That's true.
Speaker 4: Pollard hasn't been able to fix it. Rico Daddle hasn't
Speaker 4: been able to fix it. Could Dalvin Cook be that person?
Speaker 4: And if Dalvin Cook is a guy with his bigger
Speaker 4: body can find a way to get you in on
Speaker 4: first and goal from the five or three or the
Speaker 4: two or one versus Hunter Lifkey, then let me see
Speaker 4: what Dalvin Cook can do. Because the red zone has
Speaker 4: been an issue. Maybe they win that game in Miami.
Speaker 4: If Dalvin Cook is getting football, absolutely, that's where I
Speaker 4: look at it as and I'm not trying to replace Pollard.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to necessarily replace frecodable, but I am
Speaker 4: going back to what Skip Peete talked about why Pollard
Speaker 4: was effective and just having that thunder lightning thing. There's
Speaker 4: no thunder for the Cowboys right now. They don't have
Speaker 4: a hammer. It got so bad that the hammer. Are
Speaker 4: you sitting up here asking hunterd Limkey to go do it?
Speaker 6: Yes, duce Vaughn comes in last game two Carris two yards,
Speaker 6: you're not.
Speaker 7: I mean that's not that's not enough.
Speaker 2: No, that's not.
Speaker 6: But if he did have one kiss for ten, yes,
Speaker 6: you want to find somebody to getting the pass the game.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 3: For me at this point in time. That's where I'm
Speaker 3: looking at me. Do we we all agree that got
Speaker 3: an issue from the.
Speaker 2: Five yards on it?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 2: They do?
Speaker 5: But then then you're taking a spot from a guy
Speaker 5: that could possibly play teams because Dalvin's not gonna go
Speaker 5: out there and play team.
Speaker 3: Let's just say they get Collins and coach.
Speaker 5: You got two guys, veteran guys that won't play teams
Speaker 5: that are taking up, you know, roster spots for other
Speaker 5: guys out there. Is having a you know, goal line
Speaker 5: back more important than yes, than having somebody that yes.
Speaker 6: I also don't consider Dalvon cooking goal line back. But
Speaker 6: he may run harder than Tony Paouler. But I mean
Speaker 6: there work of weeks where we were like, look at
Speaker 6: Tony Powler right when you was like, oh man, look
Speaker 6: look at look how hard Tony Pouler's running all that stuff.
Speaker 6: I just don't know about Dalvin Cook, maybe because I
Speaker 6: got a little fantasy trauma fantasy football.
Speaker 2: Tu No, no, no, it was worse.
Speaker 6: It was. He wasn't doing nothing on the goal line either.
Speaker 6: They started putting Madison in there on the goal Dalvin Cook.
Speaker 6: But no, I guess I guess we'll see what type
Speaker 6: of moves they make. But for me, were passing team.
Speaker 8: Though for me that's my issue.
Speaker 7: We're fast team. They are like, yeah, can we run
Speaker 7: the ball and when we need to?
Speaker 8: You've got a problem right now, put the quarterback.
Speaker 6: And run a situation. Get you some read options. Get
Speaker 6: that figured out. No, I'm not I'm not saying have
Speaker 6: the threats running.
Speaker 7: No listening to the owner.
Speaker 6: Today on this show, we ran quarterback listen, we ran
Speaker 6: quarterback lead Okay, we ran read options so far this season,
Speaker 6: you need to figure out a way to just push.
Speaker 4: With Dalvin Cooking there, it could be better, That's all
Speaker 4: I'm saying. I would, I would be looking at it,
Speaker 4: and they'll be interested. You would kick the tires, oh,
Speaker 4: without a doubt, because I've got an issue. Michael Gelkin
Speaker 4: had raised the question of Mike McCarthy a couple of
Speaker 4: weeks ago about got issues from the five, and he
Speaker 4: tried to duck and dodge around, you know, try to
Speaker 4: protect some players.
Speaker 3: But even after this season, that's something that's.
Speaker 8: Got to be addressed.
Speaker 4: Will be so if you have the ability right now
Speaker 4: and you're talking about trying to to go deep in
Speaker 4: the playoffs, I don't see how you can ignore this
Speaker 4: issue right now with a player like this, according to
Speaker 4: his agent, about to be released.
Speaker 3: You have to pick up the got to pick up
Speaker 3: the phone.
Speaker 4: If you're gonna call, tell tell Ell Collins to come through,
Speaker 4: and Damien Wilson to come through. Why wouldn't you tell
Speaker 4: Dalvin cook hey man, come on through. And so I
Speaker 4: know what you're saying about special team spot, but I
Speaker 4: go back to that Miami game. If you get a
Speaker 4: ball Dalvin Cooking, the scores so yeah, that's a whole
Speaker 4: different deal. And it's a small thing, but small things
Speaker 4: are big things in the playoffs.
Speaker 6: No, this is and this is also finishing off runs,
Speaker 6: finding the right hole, having vision. And when we start
Speaker 6: talking about those two players, I think I would trust
Speaker 6: doubt Cook over his career has been one of those
Speaker 6: players that's had better vision. Sometimes when I'm watching Tony Pollard,
Speaker 6: I'm like, man, where you're going it's and I'm sure
Speaker 6: the coaches are seeing the same thing. And so that's
Speaker 6: why you've had this steady rotation in between him and
Speaker 6: Rico Dallin. It's not that Rico Dadle is that much
Speaker 6: more of running back than he is. I don't I
Speaker 6: don't see the drop off, you know, I don't see. Okay,
Speaker 6: we go down to a hand and this is what is?
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 8: I just think that right now, man, our running game
Speaker 8: is something.
Speaker 4: All right, guys, uh, fun stuff.
Speaker 3: Let's get into it on Wednesday, as we get closer
Speaker 3: and closer to the.
Speaker 8: The NFC East is ours, though it's.
Speaker 3: Not hoping dream dream Barry church.
Speaker 8: Strutch brought to you by.
Speaker 3: We'll see it tomorrow.
