00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: football to start the season. All right, let's bring in

Speaker 1: the stars of the show, Danny McCray and Barry Church.

9
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: To quote Jason Garrett, how are we doing, guys? Is Friday,

10
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: Baby Friday? You know, we know we still got people

11
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: trying to figure out this this technology that we're working

12
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: with overhead the Cowboys. But other than that, you know,

13
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: we were flying high. We're good. We're ready for Sunday. Okay,

14
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: we were good over here. We're good over here, man

15
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: and the wise words of Jason Garrett. Man one day

16
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: at a time, one play at the time. Let's go.

17
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys are three point favorites against the Rams. And I'm

18
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: gonna start off with this because this is fresh, Okay,

19
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: because Cede Lamb is just spoke to the media, and

20
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: Cedee Lamb says he expects Jalen Ramsey to travel with

21
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper throughout the football game. Here, so let's revisit

22
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: what we spoke about yesterday here that I'm gonna start

23
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: with two Berry Church. Okay, Dak Prescott avoid throwing Tomari

24
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: Cooper since Jayla Ramsey, who you you say is one

25
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: of the top two corners in italygue on Sunday. Oh,

26
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I say it. A lot of

27
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: people said he's definitely one of the top two corners

28
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: in the country, and he's not number two. But back

29
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: to the point here. If I'm Dak Prescott and we've

30
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: talked about this yesterday. If I'm Dak Prescott and I'm

31
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: looking out there and I'm seeing what I got. It's

32
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: eleven personnel for those who don't know. Eleven personnel. That's

33
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: three wide receivers, one tight end. And I'm looking over

34
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: there and I see twenty traveling with nineteen. Everywhere he goes,

35
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: even when I'm sending him in motion across the field,

36
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: anywhere he goes feel boundary. If he's sitting over there

37
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: with him, I'm licking my chops on the other direction,

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: because like you said, you got Troy Hill over there,

39
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: who has five total starts. Yes, he has experience at Nickel,

40
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: but if they have him on the outside, that's a

41
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: totally different world than a Nickel. So I'm looking my

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: chops at that. You got Blake Jarwin matched up against

43
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: a linebacking core. That's kind of hurt right now. So

44
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: we got to see who they play at the linebacking corps.

45
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: And then they do have good safeties back there and

46
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: rub and Johnson, but I don't know if they can

47
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: hang with the skill set of Blake Jarwin. We'll see

48
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: what he can do out there. But if I'm Dak Prescott,

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm licking my chops at all these other mismatches that

50
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: they have out there. And yeah, you know, I'm Amark Cooper.

51
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: He might get thrown to him, maybe once or twice,

52
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: but I'm forced nothing his way with twenty on him.

53
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: So agree with your church. So you're so, you're not,

54
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: So you are avoiding him or you're not. I'm just

55
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: want to make sure I'm clear on which I'm avoiding.

56
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm avoiding him, I'm avoiding clue. I mean I might

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: give him just so he you know, I might give

58
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: him one or two shots just you know, so I

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: don't have to hear him complaining about it. But I'm

60
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: avoiding twenty at all at all. I think I think

61
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: this is absolutely crazy. I'm never gonna change my mind

62
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: on this because one I'm gonna go back to this.

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: You paid the man a hundred million dollars. That's top down,

64
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: all right. So the ownership paid him and they expect

65
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: him to produce results too. You got this guy lining

66
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: up out there, and you will tell me that he

67
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: believes that his quarterback has such little confidence in him

68
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: when he's going to get a top of quarterbacks that

69
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: he will not get a ball thrown to him for

70
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: the entire game because Jaylon res is gonna be following him.

71
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: I think that is total. That is horrible. That's a

72
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: horrible way to go into the game. And if they

73
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: do that, then they should think about raiding the Mark

74
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: Cooper to somebody else. If you paying it but eight

75
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: dollars and you're just not gonna throw the ball to

76
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: him because because you don't believe it he can beat

77
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: the goddess across from him. That is horrible. Undere million dollars,

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: you should be anybody that's across from you. To me,

79
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: if you had a confidence for you to do that,

80
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: I understand where you're coming from to this. But to me,

81
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: it's more about not you know, in fear of Jalen

82
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Ramsey or the matchup with Amari Cooper. It's just what

83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: you have on the other side. It's just to me,

84
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: it's more bountiful. I mean, you got Gallop, you got

85
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: Cede Lamb, who who who get to see play a

86
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: game in the NFL. But I mean the guys college

87
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: and come back to the side. I think he I

88
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: think he'll be able to transfer well to the NFL.

89
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: But you got Gallop over there, you got Cede Lamb,

90
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: you got Jarring all in mismatches. So if I'm if

91
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm Dak Prescott, I'm not forcing anything over to Cooper.

92
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: I just see over here, I got so many mismatches.

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: Why don't I let them feast for this first game?

94
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: That's all. But I'm not. I'm not. I'm not saying

95
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: force it. That's what when we asked avoid enforce. That's

96
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: two different things. Right If you if you if it's open, right,

97
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: he's the number one read or something, look at him

98
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: first and then go on to your second read. If

99
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: he's not open. I knew he's asking should you avoid him?

100
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: Like if he's the one number one read on that

101
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: and then you see Ramsey following him, don't even go

102
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: to your number one read, just go to two, three

103
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: or four. And I think that's I think that's horrible.

104
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: I think that's horrible. I think that's horrible going into

105
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: the season, and that's a horrible outlook for Mark Cooper

106
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: to believe his quarterback and coaching staff would want the

107
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: quarterback to do that. I think that is just a

108
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: bad way to start the season. You go ahead, No,

109
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: you go ahead. No. I just think I just think

110
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: I think Danny's wrong because I am of the belief.

111
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: And Barry you know it because you've seen it with

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 1: your own two eyes because you played with Jayla Ramps.

113
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: You know what, Hey, fine, you can run out here,

114
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: be a decourt. I'm gonna say, hey, you guys have

115
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: fun trying to beat Michael gall Let me throw Blake

116
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: Jarman down to see. Let's see how you beat that.

117
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: Throw Zeke out of some coverage to seem some live

118
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: backers could pick up with. I ain't got enough weapons

119
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: here that I'm gonna sit up here and play chess.

120
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: You want to move here, fine, I'm going over here.

121
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm making moves over there because I like the matchups

122
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can have with the other players. That I

123
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: could just sit up here and tell, hey, Coop, guess

124
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: what give him next week? They give him next week? Yeah,

125
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: see and and and that sound good from us sitting

126
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: on the side in the locker room. Let me tell

127
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: you something. If that's the way that you are perceived

128
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: as a player, that is not good for you, and

129
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: that is not good for the team, no matter what

130
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: y'all say. If if that happens, and the look is, man,

131
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: look he got Jayla Ramsey on them, we're not throwing

132
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: the ball to him. And this is our top guy,

133
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: all right, We're just not throwing it to him because

134
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: we don't believe he's gonna be able to get over Ever,

135
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: that's a that's a horrible way to look. Nobody saying

136
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: you shouldn't throw it to Gallop, and you shouldn't try

137
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, and you shouldn't try Jarwin. But when Marie

138
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: Cooper's number is called, you should throw it to him

139
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: and give him an opportunity to make him play. That's

140
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: why you pay him no matter who's guarding up. Let's

141
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's let's take this a step further. Since

142
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: we've got we've got three We've got three people here

143
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: with different issues on this. At least two of us

144
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: have the same issue. So give me an expected stat

145
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: line for a Mari Cooper against the Rams right here

146
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: on the players line the hotels dot Com, Danny mccraig,

147
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: give me a stat line for a Mari Cooper that

148
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: you would say what I expect. So, so listen, I

149
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't go as far to say, because my argument is

150
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: you should still give him a chance. He should get

151
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: eight to nine targets. You know he shouldn't. He should

152
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: not leave the game. He should not leave targets. He

153
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: should not leave the game with only being thrown to

154
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: two times in the season opener. That would be horrible.

155
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm basing it off how many times Dak Prescott, based

156
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: on this conversation, how many times Dak Prescott looked into

157
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: number nineteen's way, how many times Keller Moore called up

158
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: a play for number nineteen to get going in the

159
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: football game. So if it's eight to nine targets, I'm

160
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: all right with that. If he just doesn't produce, he

161
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: doesn't produce. But you went to your number one guy

162
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: and you gave him an opportunity to make plays and

163
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: he just didn't come up with it, and then you

164
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: moved on to the next guy. But if you, if you,

165
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: if you come out of you say Mannaly threw the

166
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 1: battle to Mark Cooper twice, I think that is horrible.

167
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: That's a horrible outlook for the for the season. All right,

168
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: So he's got eight to nine targets for Cooper? How many?

169
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: What do you have in terms of targets? What do

170
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: you what are you rolling for me? Targets at the

171
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: very maximum, I'm thinking five to six targets. But I

172
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: think he'll get I think he'll get I think he'll

173
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: get about four catches for forty to fifty yards in there,

174
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: and I think that would be a successful night of

175
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: going going against going against Ramsey. I think that would

176
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: be successful. For four catches, he's gonna catch four out

177
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: of five. He said he's gonna catch four out of

178
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: five passes and that's all that gonna throw to him.

179
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: Good if he gets that, what you said he should

180
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: get max targets, he should get a five max targets.

181
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: He's going to end up catching four him for sixty

182
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: yards and then look, I'm with him all the way.

183
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm with him all the way on this. I'm telling

184
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: you right now, Church, you're right. Don't let him move

185
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: you off this now, stay strong with me in here, Church,

186
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: stay strong with me. Okay, right, he caught you. We

187
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: should just say, may I no more than six, No

188
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: more than six targets? O. Kay? Now that's and that's

189
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot. So the church, we church were

190
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: right here because it's gonna be a bit first. Okay,

191
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: so this is crazy, you said, and then all you

192
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: gotta do and say the word. That's all you gotta do.

193
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: Mann is gonna catch. He's gonna catch eighty percent of

194
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: the balls throwing his way, and then that's gonna go

195
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: the other way and not throw to him anymore. I

196
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: think that's stats out raises. But if it happens, it happens.

197
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. I see eighth the nine targets.

198
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's gonna catch eight to nine. I

199
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: say he's gonna get the ball thrown to him eight

200
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: to nine times. And we're saying he's gonna get the

201
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: ball five to six times. That's all. That's all. Okay, listen, listen,

202
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. And when we get there on Monday,

203
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: we'll discussed this. Okay, that's why I wrote it down.

204
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: I wrote it down. Oh listen, I'll say I'm wrong.

205
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: I'll say I'm wrong. The only way he doesn't get

206
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: that many target but he don't play, or if he

207
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: get hurt after the first snap, he's getting eight to

208
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: nine targets. Okay, this is good, This is this is

209
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: why we do. The players out here. We have disagreements

210
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: for this game, right and so already right out the game,

211
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: I've got an ability to hit up and look at

212
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: this now. Now, Church, let's also make sure we let

213
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: all of the Cowboy fans know that this bias and

214
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: what is coming from Danny McCree on this because Danny

215
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: McCray has Amari Cooper on his fantasy football team. This

216
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: is this is very true, all right, Cowboys Nation, Cowboys Nations,

217
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: let me true. Danny McCray has Amari Cooper on his

218
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: fantasy and he is vying, he's vuying game from a

219
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: Mary Cooper. I just don't see it. And this is

220
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: getting into this argument. It's now we know this. Let

221
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: me tell you this. Let me tell you this. I

222
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: am not banging on the Mark Cooper having a touchdown

223
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: or a honey yards in this game. I'm specifically talking

224
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: about targets for me. I believe in fantasy football this

225
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be a rough week for me because Amari

226
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: Cooper is going against Jalen Ramsey and Leona Fournett just

227
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: got on a new team, so I already expect it

228
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: to be rough. But as far as targets and them

229
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: throwing confidence that they hunting million dollar man, I believe

230
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: they are gonna stick to that and give him the

231
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: opportunity to make plays no matter who's guarding him. That

232
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: they were sure to be a scared football player if

233
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: they just automatically went into the game decide that Jalen

234
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Ramsey is going to eliminate him from the game. Plant

235
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: that is that it's not good, Okay. I want everybody

236
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: to have our Twitter handles and at social media handles

237

238
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,080

249
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: debate right here, um Church and I believe that because

250
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's expected to travel with a Mari Cooper, CD

251
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: Lamb said this to the media on Friday afternoon that

252
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: we believe they're probably not going to throw the ball

253
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: very much to Cooper Price say stay away from So

254
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: we're saying five to six targets for Maria Cooper. We

255
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: got Danny who's got a Mario. No, no, no, I'm

256
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: saying that they're going to get him eight to nine targets. Okay,

257
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: So this is our debate right here. Okay, this is

258
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: our debate, and that's what we're going what why are

259
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: you trying to change it? Now? I'm not trying to

260
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: change it. Let me tell you something. You changing it?

261
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: Church said a max of five. So why did we

262
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: get five to six? I just I just wanted to

263
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: make sure that we're on the same page here with this,

264
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: with the I did said. I said, I said five,

265
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: I said five at the most six. I did say that. Yeah,

266
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: this is true. So he followed, I followed what you said.

267
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: I said, first of all, no, no, no, no, no,

268
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: no no, I said that at least. So he's going

269
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: over eight to nine. All right, he's going over that.

270
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: He got it, going over about the targets, the least

271
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: amount of targets he gonna get this game. So tell

272
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: the fans how many catches and how many yards this

273
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: man's gonna get this? No, no, I can't. I can't

274
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: say that because football is zero. Some game. He's gonna

275
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: win something, he's gonna lose something. I can't predict that.

276
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: I can only predict the game plan that they're going

277
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: in with. And Amari Cooper is going to go to

278
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: his number one guy. That's how you build confidence in

279
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: your receivers, and that's how that's how you make that connection.

280
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: They're going to do that in week one and five

281
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: and five targets is not gonna get it done. Let

282
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: me read do realize it's an away game though, right, Okay,

283
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: Danny says Cooper will have eight to nine targets. We minimum,

284
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: we Church and I are saying he will have five

285
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: to six targets. That's where we're saying that. Okay, all right,

286
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: you're good. So we're saying six or less. Okay, is

Speaker 1: I mean obviously tears and tears and tears, but I

338
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: mean I sat there and tried to gather what had happened,

339
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: um and wanted to ask why for so many reasons.

340
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: It was like the sense of all these emotions coming

341
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: off of my back and wiped up my tears. Probably

342
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: after crying for thirty minutes with my dad and my

343
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: h and my best friends who were all came to,

344
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, to console me and to be there. That

345
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: is Dak Prescott. Dak was on The Graham Benzinger Show,

346
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 1: and that's that whole full show will air Sunday UM

347
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: in Dallas foot Worth on NBC five, right after I

348
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: do my Sunday show. So that's uh, Graham Benzinger with

349
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Also Tad Prescott brother is also on this show.

350
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: I've already seen the entire episode and I'm gonna tell

351
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: you right now that first segment is it's deep, it's emotional.

352
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: When I finished watching it, I texted Graham, who's a

353
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: friend of mine. I said, Wow, Wow, these two kids,

354
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: and I'm going to call them kids because I'm a

355
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: lot older than Tad and and Dak, and I just

356
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: my heart went out to them. And Dak Prescott told

357
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: the media the day after because those clips came out

358
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: and the day after Dak had said that that he

359
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: wanted to be vulnerable and that, you know, he felt

360
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: that was part of being a leader to say yes,

361
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: um during the COVID nineteen when his brother passed away,

362
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: that he went and he was depressed, and he went

363
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: and he talked to someone about it. And I just

364
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: felt there was so much courage from Dak Prescott to

365
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 1: come out and say that. Skip Bayliss, who does one

366
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: of those talk shows where they debate and say crazy stuff,

367
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: criticized Dak Prescott forward and he got lit up, and

368
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: his own company, Fox Sports, came out and said to

369
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: day disagree with his opinion. So I wanted to give

370
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: Danny McCrae and by and Bury Church right here on

371
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: their show The Players Lines the ability to go ahead

372
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: and say what you had your feelings are about what

373
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: Bayla said. And also Dak Prescott's message, Danny, go ahead

374
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: and start. So the start, I think Skip Bayless's lessons

375
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: was total garbage. And I was really surprised that Shannon

376
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: didn't step in and you know and kind of go

377
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: ballistic on him and saying what he said, Um, I

378
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: don't want to focus too much on them. I want

379
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: to say that I think it was real brave for

380
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: him to come out and you know, let everybody know

381
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: and use his platform to let everybody know that it's

382
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: okay to feel down and then it's okay to seek help.

383
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: And I speak, I speak from experience with that one

384
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of my wife is a therapist, right,

385
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: so if you ever, if you ever, if you know

386
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: her or you see her Instagram or Twitter or anything,

387
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: she posts about mental health maybe ten or fifteen times

388
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: a day and she gets a lot of feedback from

389
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: a lot of dms. So people are really going through

390
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: this and they're starting to feel okay with reaching out

391
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: and getting help. And that is helping these people by

392
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: expressing his story and letting them know that everybody uh

393
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: is going through this or can go through this, and

394
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: nobody is exempt. So get help if you need it,

395
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: reach out and don't don't don't feel bad about feeling

396
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, that's one hundred percent right. And um,

397
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: as far as Skipp and Shannon show, I mean, I'm

398
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: a fan of their show, Undisputed, but the comments he

399
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: made on there, I think were extremely insensitive and just

400
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: weren't right at all. So just you know, I had

401
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: to say that about Skip, but for Dak Prescott, I mean,

402
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: I felt like he was extremely extremely brave and showed

403
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: remarkable leadership and putting himself out there for everybody to

404
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: know that you know he had He's battling through these

405
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: things just like everybody else. And the most important thing

406
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: I think he did through putting itself out there was

407
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: like that was that he gave strength to you know,

408
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: little kids or you know boys and girls and grown

409
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: women and men as well who are dealing with, you know,

410
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: some type of depression or have gone through similar things

411
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: that he's gone through, that you don't have to do

412
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: it by yourself. There's people that you can talk to

413
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: to help get your emotions out there. If you feel

414
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: like you're more if you feel like you don't really

415
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: you know, I want to express yourself to everybody. You

416
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: can see a therapist. You don't have to keep this

417
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: all bottled in within yourself and dealing with it by yourself.

418
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: And I think that was remarkable for what he did

419
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: with that, and I hope he opened the light for

420
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people that they don't have to do

421
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: this or go through this by themselves. I can't emphasize

422
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: enough the amount of respect that I have for Dak

423
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: Prescott and what he's overcoming his life. He grew up

424
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: in a trailer his mother, single mom. She was white,

425
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: three black boys, and in the episode, they talked about

426
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: how there was strife within their family because there were

427
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: members on his mother's side who did not want to

428
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: accept those kids because they were black. And then in

429
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: that relationship and just how that ended up in some

430
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: ways working out and in some ways not working out.

431
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: But she dies while he's in college, and he talked

432
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: about how Jace, the young brother who took his life,

433
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: he was there to watch his mom. The other two

434
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 1: were gone, so a lot of it came on him.

435
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: He was a quiet man, he didn't say very much.

436
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: So Dak loses his mother, he loses his brother. Now

437
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: you think about this unit, it's four people growing up together,

438
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: the mom and the three boys. Two of those are gone,

439
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: half of them are gone now it is now just

440
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: Dak and his brother Tad, And he spoke about how

441
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: he wants to get up to Dallas Footworth with him.

442
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how anybody can go through those situations

443
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: and not need to talk to someone and I find

444
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: it brave. I have chills as I say this, because

445
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: I have experienced firsthand what happens when someone takes their life,

446
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: when the police come and knock on your door, it

447
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: is it's serious and to me, and we're three black men.

448
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: Many times in our community we try to tell people

449
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: to be tough and and and we want people to

450
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: think that, Joe, you just got to work through it.

451
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: You know, it's nothing wrong with raising your hand and

452
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: Danny talk about your wife is a therapist out there,

453
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: A lot of black men don't want to come and

454
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: raise their hand and say I need help. Also, when

455
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: it comes to resources, there are a lot of people

456
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: out there who are black, especially who don't have them

457
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: Black and brown, who don't have the money to go

458
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: get therapy. I'm lucky enough that I work at a

459
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: job at NBC five in Dallas Fort Worth where they

460
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: give us access to counseling. We have that as a

461
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: free resource. There are a lot of folks who don't.

462
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: And anybody like Skip Bayliss thinking that COVID nineteen didn't

463
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: hit people, you don't understand people. Man. This thing this

464
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: was isolation for a lot of people, and some folks

465
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: didn't handle it very well, and that and I should

466
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: say handle very well. It was an adjustment that some

467
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: people had a hard time making. And I know this

468
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: that Dallas Cowboys as an organization, as a locker room,

469
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,719
Speaker 1: they're taking care of Dak Prescott the same way they

470
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: took care of Michael Gallim when his brother took us

471
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: like two years ago. And I felt like we're giving

472
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: Skip Bayliss a little too much credit and we're maybe

473
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: not focusing enough on the Cowboys and the family unit

474
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: that they have. I think Dak Prescott is going to

475
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: be able to come out of this a better man.

476
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: And I think Dak Prescott knows and feels the respect

477
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: and love he gets. Charlotte Jones when on social media

478
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: today and spoke about how brave she thought Dak Prescott was.

479
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: So there, I've set my piece on that. This bothered me, man.

480
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: That bothered me because we should be better people than this,

481
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: We should be a better country. And as a person

482
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: in the media, I'm telling you right now, there's a

483
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: way we have to do our job. You have a platform,

484
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: use the platform properly. This is not a proper use

485
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: of the platform. And I'm ashamed that that is what

486
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: was put out there by someone about another human being.

487
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: We are lucky enough, Okay, we're lucky enough to cover

488
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: these athletes. This has been a dream of mine and

489
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: you along the way, Barry. Then you have to make

490
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: a decision about how you want to go about doing

491
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: this job. I have decided that I don't want to

492
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: go about doing my job in a fashion where you

493
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: cut down people like that. The man was being vulnerable.

494
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: We need to be behind him and say, look, thank

495
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: you very much and thankful Lee. There's enough people out

496
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: there in the media and on social media and with

497
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys family who got Dak Prescott's back, because we've

498
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: got to be better than that, and we have to

499
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: shut down the people like Skip Bayless and Fox Sports

500
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: should be ashamed that they didn't spend that man or

501
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: even yet tell him that he needed to no longer

502
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: work there. Troy Eightman years ago when ESPN employeed Skip

503
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: Bayliss told ESPN, I will no longer do any interviews

504
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: with you as long as that man works here, and

505
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: they got rid of him, and I really believe the

506
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: Cowboy players should all stand up for Dak Prescott and

507
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: tell Fox Sports we're not coming on, We're not gonna

508
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: do any interviews with you. When you want to do

509
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: your Sunday show and send your reporters here, or Aaron

510
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: Andrews wants to talk to somebody, Joe Buck and Troy

511
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: want to talk some No, we're not doing it because

512
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: you can't treat people like that. What what Skip Bayless did.

513
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: In my opinion, that was damaging. Man, that's wrong. That's

514
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: not how you treat people. And you're supposed to be

515
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: NFL partner or NFL TV partner. How do you go

516
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: after one of the biggest names in the sport in

517
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: that kind of fashion because you want to make some

518
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: TV ratings. I'm done. I sat my peace, fellas, I'm done.

519
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: I'm done then I'm yeah, go ahead. It gives no

520
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: time for me. Man. That was garbage. That's it. I

521
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: don't even want to mention the guy. So yeah, yeah,

522
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: y'all can have it. You know, if we keep talking

523
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: about him, he you know, I'm done with it. Knew it.

524
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: That was that was real powerful man. I'm glad you

525
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: said what you said, and speaking from experience, I think

526
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: that was big and uh yeah off of that guy. Yeah,

527
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: that that got nothing to do with this, and like

528
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: Danny said, KNEWI I was extremely well said, and you

529
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: could tell it came from the heart and it came

530
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: from passion man. And and you're right. I mean, there's

531
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: no there's no place in the media for people who

532
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: cut down people like that, especially in the type of

533
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: circumstances and situations that he was going through. It's just

534
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: not called for at all, and it is garbage. So

535
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad you called it out the way you did.

536
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: It was much needed. You guys working and have been

537
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: in the locker rooms, it was your workplace, and you

538
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: guys can speak to this firsthand. There are a lot

539
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: of guys in there who when we just look at

540
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 1: them at the surface, they're they're great athletes, but when

541
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: you get to know them, you realize they have everyday

542
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: problems like everyone else, and that what we think is

543
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: perfect is not. And here's Dak Prescott and his brother

544
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: Tad saying they thought everything was cool with Jays, their brother,

545
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: and it wasn't. And I urge everyone please make sure

546
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: you tune in on Sunday night if you're in Dallas

547
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: foot Worth on Channel five and watch this interview that

548
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 1: Graham Benzinger does because the pain, the tea. I mean,

549
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: you see tears from these boys. Man, they lost their brother.

550
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: It's gonna hit home. It's going to hit home for you.

551
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: And I just came out of this with a whole

552
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: lot of respect for Dak Prescott that he sit up

553
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: there and let everyone know, Hey, man, I wasn't good.

554
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't good, but I went to see someone and

555
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: he plans on having a good season. He's out there working.

556
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: I think he's going to make a difference. You guys know,

557
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: I always I always joke about Jason Garrett, but I'm

558
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: gonna tell you a conversation that I had with Jason

559
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: Wants last year, and he spoke so highly about Dak

560
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: Prescott in terms of him saying, if Dak didn't play football,

561
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: if he was at IBM, I would telling to hire him.

562
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean, his respect level for Dak Prescott as a

563
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: human being as a man is off the charts. And

564
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: you and I, you guys, you and I've been around

565
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: in that lockero. We've seen a lot of people. This

566
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: is one of the most impressive guys as I've ever

567
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: been around. And I'm just talking about football, is talking

568
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: about as a human being and as a man, and

569
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: I just felt what happened went out of ounds and

570
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: it didn't need to happen. There's a way we can

571
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: all do this job properly, and there's a way we

572
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: can do this job. And all, you know, try to

573
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: call things out, But on that instance, man, that's not

574
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: what that's not what it needed to be about. This

575
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: is a good guy. This is a good guy who

576
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: uses his platforms in the right way. And I just

577
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: hope that as we get ready for Sunday, I hope

578
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: that they have a good game. Let's take a break

579
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: right here. When we come back, let's dive into this contest.

580
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: Some of the matchups that we're looking for. There's one

581
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: matchup in particular that I think for the Cowboys defense,

582
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: they better look out for this young man because if not,

583
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: it could be a long day. Let's do that. Next

628
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 1: top matchups. What are you looking at seeing, Church, I'm

629
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna start with you first. Heve well for me? My

630
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: top matchup, it's a it's not it's not your regular matchup.

631
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't it's not player versus player. But what I'm

632
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: interested to see. What matchup I'm looking forward to seeing

633
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: is Mike Nolan the new DC for the Dallas Cowboys

634
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: versus this Rams offense and Jared Golf and all they

635
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: got out there. Now, I know they lost a couple

636
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: of pieces in you know, Gurley, and they lost Cooks,

637
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: who can pretty much take off the roof of your secondary.

638
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: But dude, they do still have some good pieces in

639
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: cup and they do have Robert Woods out there and

640
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: back they drafted his his name is escaping me right now.

641
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: But they drafted a running back high who they're pretty

642
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: high on. A yeah from Florida State, camp Akers from

643
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: Florida State, who who can be a nightmare matchup for

644
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: all linebackers. But that's for another subject. But Mike Nolan,

645
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what type of multiple schemes like

646
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: defenses he's gonna bring into this fold. Now I know

647
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: the camp has been abbreviated, and so I'm not sure

648
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: if he can put all his defense in there at

649
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: once or all the moving pieces and moving parts that

650
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: he wants to put it in there at once. But

651
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: I want to see how he'll attack Jared Golf and

652
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: this offensive line. We know they struggled last season protecting

653
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: Jared Golf, so I think they're gonna this Dollars defense

654
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: is going to try to attack them by bringing nickels,

655
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: bringing corners, bringing their linebackers, and I feel like they're

656
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: gonna have a multiple look kind of just moving parts

657
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: all over the place. So I'm interested to see how

658
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: they attack this this Rams offense. But that'll be my

659
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: matchup to look forward to this Sunday coming up. Oh yeah, honestly,

660
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: I have two so quickly. Uh you know, I think

661
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: our d line versus the Rams offensive line. I think

662
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: that's going to be the huge matchup if we can

663
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: take advantage of them and create the pressure that we

664
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: all expect that we can create. I think it'll be

665
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: a you know, a smooth game for us. My other matchup,

666
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: and not because I picked them to have eight or

667
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: nine targets, is Jalen Ramsey versus Mark Cooper. And I

668
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: say that specifically because as a defensive coordinator, if you

669
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: are able to eliminate one half of the field with

670
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: one player, you can do so many other things. On

671
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: the other side. You can double the slide double, you

672
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: can double two or three people you know in one play. Right,

673
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: So if a Mark Cooper allows them to eliminate him

674
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: with just Jalen Ramsey and they can just focus the

675
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 1: rest of the defense on the other side of the field,

676
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: it'll be a long bay for our offense. So I'm

677
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: really interested in seeing that matchup and seeing if Mark

678
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: Cooper can keep the defensive coordinator honors. All right, I'm

679
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: looking at Tyler Hickbee, the tight end for the Los

680
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. Had a big game against the Cowboys last year,

681
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: ended the season five weeks on a run. They finally

682
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: figured out how to use this tight end and Jared

683
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: Goff who's going to him very much? So how do

684
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys cover Tyler Hickbee. I want to see that.

685
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: I think that's a matchup piece that Sean McVay is

686
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: going to be able to utilize. So I want to

687
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: see how the Cowboys deal with that. And on the

688
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: flip side, we've gone this whole show talking about his offense,

689
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: stuff about Matt Ups, and nobody's mentioned Ezekiel Elliott. Mike

690
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: McCarthy has never had a running back this good? Okay,

691
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: McCarthy's you never had a running back this good. I

692
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: want to know what's the past run ratio going to be? Yes,

693
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: you can run aft your three receivers and then also

694
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: have Blake Jarwin there. But to me, Ezekiel Elliott can

695
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: be as good as Marshall Falk was in his prime

696
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: in terms of catching the football and running it. I

697
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: don't think that the Cowboys through the football enough to

698
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliot. When I look at what Alvin Kamara can

699
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 1: do with the football, when I look at what Saquon

700
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: Barkley can do with the football, Ezekiel Elliot can do

701
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: those same things. Please go back and watch the tape

702
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: of Ohio's tate. I was there Jerry for that National

703
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: Championship game when they took on Oregon and that kid,

704
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he was so powerful ended up when the

705
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: MVP in Ohio State won the first ever college football

706
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: playoff matchup. I want to see if Kellen Moore and

707
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy really unleashed Zeke went it's through passing, through running.

708
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: I just think he could be the guy. Let's let

709
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: Zeke eat in this football game. That to me is

710
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: what I would say if I were talking to Mike

711
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: McCarthy and Kellen Moore, and I think that if they

712
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: do that, everything else they want to do can really

713
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: manifest itself from making sure that that is the guy.

714
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: The other flip thing and I kind of want to

715
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: go back on what you said here Church a little bit.

716
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: Is the run game. When the Rams were powerful, we

717
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: talk about the offense in the passing, but it was

718
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: all about Todd Gurling and then being able to run

719
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: the football. If they can run the football against the Cowboys,

720
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: then the Rams are going to be able to throw

721
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Jared Golf is best in

722
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 1: play action passing, but if you can't run, he can't

723
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: do it. And that's what happened when they came to

724
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: Jerry World last year. Todd Gurling on the twenty yards.

725
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: They couldn't run the so Rams can't run, the Cowboys

726
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: have an opportunity within the game. Let's give a prediction

727
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: for this contest right here, mccraig, what you got? I

728
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: got thirty four to twenty one Cowboys. I think. I

729
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: think we come out, we start off early, and we

730
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: forced the Rams to have to throw the ball to

731
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: try to come back, and we get a lot of pressure,

732
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: get a couple turn numbers off golf because we know

733
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: he'd throw them to you in some sacks from d Law. Oh, okay, okay,

734
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: all right for me, I'm gonna go twenty eight seven

735
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. I feel like I knew he hit it

736
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: right on the head. I feel like the Cowboys will

737
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: get that run game going often and early and often,

738
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: and I feel like that Rams defensive line just won't

739
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: be able to hold up against it. I think they'll

740
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: have their way in the run game, and that'll lead

741
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: to Gallop, CD Lamb and Jarwin having their way in

742
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: the past game. I'm Mark Cooper might get, you know,

743
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: a couple of sprinkles here and there, but I think

744
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: that run game will lead to the opening up of

745
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 1: the pass game, and I think eventually the squirrel just

746
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: get greater and greater. Cowboys will end up taking this

747
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: away from the Rams twenty I hear that, right. I'll

748
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: tell you that Rams offensive line it's not good. I'm

749
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: telling you it's not good. All right. Vegas has the

750
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: Cowboys as a three point favorite on the road. I've

751
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: got a lot closer. In fact, the way I'm calling

752
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: this game right now is I think the fact that

753
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: you got a new defense that you're installing here. Um,

754
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Rams start the game and better

755
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: than the Cowboys to have a lead, and that the

756
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys end up winning it as Dak Prescott leads a

757
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: comeback and Dallas wins twenty eight twenty three. So that

758
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: is my prediction Sunday Night football. Okay, you think you

759
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: think Golf and the we're gonna be able to put

760
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: up a couple of numbers, Yes, I do. I do. Um, Okay,

761
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: all right, I think they'll be able to. Well. I

762
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: mean also I kind of come back to they know

763
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: the system they're running, and I think that's going to

764
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: be an advantage. I looked last night and how Deshaun

765
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: Watson was trying to you know, deal with his targets

766
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, and he didn't have de Hoop. It

767
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: was not the same offense that he'd been accustomed to,

768
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: and I thought there were times where they struggle a

769
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: little bit versus looking at Kansas City, who was just

770
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: I mean, who we I mean, these guys were just

771
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: pumping it in there from from jumping. If it's not

772
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: for a couple of drop touchdown passes, the score might

773
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: have been more than it was. Thirty four twenty was

774
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: the final there. So I'm just thinking it just may

775
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: take a little bit. And as you talked about before,

776
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: Nolan didn't have the whole offseason, so I expect there'd

777
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: be a little bit of confusion here and the Cowboys

778
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: just getting used to Mike McCarthy. I said, expected just

779
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: to be a little bit and I think that on

780
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: the second half the Cowboys will find themselves and get

781
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: their footing. But I think it may be a little

782
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: bit tough. And also it's a new stadium and you

783
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: guys have played in Statius before me what is it

784
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: like to go into a place you have never been

785
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: before and to try and get yourself acclimated. It's difficult.

786
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,959
Speaker 1: There's one place that I've never got acclimated to playing

787
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: and I played there about ten times and I was Philadelphia.

788
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean, no matter how many times you go into

789
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: that place, I mean, you'll never get acclimented to those fans.

790
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: So I mean, maybe LA will bring that same type

791
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: of hype and me all, they don't have fans. That

792
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: is true, that is true. Never mind that blew my

793
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: whole point. Yeah, it's a it's a. It's an empty stadium.

794
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: I think there'll be all right. Yeah, it'll be good.

795
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: They'll be good. It's turf and screens. I think I

796
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: think they'll be just fine. Let's touch on that. That

797
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: that game last night, the Thursday night game between the

798
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Houston Texans and Patrick Mahomes with three

799
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. Uh boy, the kid from LSU was everything

800
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: that we spoke about here yesterday. He looked good. Uh.

801
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards a layer, twenty five carries, one hundred and

802
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: thirty eight yards. Uh, one touchdown. David Johnson. We talked

803
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: about David Johnson playing for Houston. He I thought he

804
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: performed well. Eleven carries, seventy seven yards and a touchdown

805
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: and he had three receptions for thirty two yards. Because

806
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: they were behind, they couldn't establish the run very much.

807
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: But I saw some positives there for for for for

808
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City, that this team could be even more dangerous

809
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: and they can run the football. Like your thoughts on

810
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: last night's game, Church, For me, it was, you know,

811
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: definitely David Johnson performed better than I thought he would.

812
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: Um the trade was still was still just crazy to me.

813
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: I mean because as you can tell Deshaun Watson, he

814
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: needs that kind of security blanket when it comes to

815
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: passing the football. But the main thing I've seen from

816
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: last night's game was the Houston Texans offensive line is

817
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: downright garbage. I mean, I feel like every play Deshaun

818
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: Watson was back there, he was running for his life.

819
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 1: And I mean, for them to put that much money

820
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: invested into him, I know they're scratching her head, like, man,

821
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 1: how are we going to keep this kid healthy throughout

822
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 1: the season, Because I mean Kansas City sometimes they weren't

823
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: even blitzing and they were getting after him. So they

824
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: got to find some type of way to show up

825
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: that offensive line because that kid was running for his

826
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 1: life all game last night. Yeah, I think that game

827
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: winner is expected. We knew that the Texas didn't have

828
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: many weapons. Church, I'm glad you didn't pick up Randall Cob.

829
00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: We know, we know fuller usually in some big yards,

830
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: but the Texans always find a way to drop the

831
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: ball man and uh, and you've seen that a few

832
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: times last night, even from David Johnson. He was the

833
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: shining light. But they're gonna have a long season because

834
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson cannot do it with the receivers that they

835
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: have out there. Reminds me of the Patriots from the

836
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: previous year, where you're like looking around you like, who's

837
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: this guy throwing the ball too? Though? Huh when I

838
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: kept seeing I'm surprised you ain't saying that by Lsuan.

839
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: I just want tonew It to pass it back to

840
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: me so we can talk about these these idiots and

841
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: there doing. Uh they're in the unit. No oh, oh

842
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: my goodness. All right, go ahead, go ahead right there.

843
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: But before before the game was played, Houston stayed in

844
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: for the national anthem. Kansas City stayed out on the field.

845
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: All the Kansas City Chiefs players stood for the anthem

846
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: except for one player. And then and before they had kickoff,

847
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: that all the players from Houston and Kansas City walked

848
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: to the middle of the field. They locked arms in unity,

849
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: and the Kansas City fans boot for Craig takeover. I think,

850
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: I think it's nuts, but you know, I'm not surprised,

851
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: and it doesn't hurt my feelings because as I watched

852
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: all this stuff go on through the pandemic and I saw,

853
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, people in the streets and the protesting. The

854
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: reason that I was so you know, I was so

855
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: happy at thet what could possibly happen in the futures

856
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: because I said, man, my generation and the generation after

857
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: me and the generation after them will be will be

858
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: the ones to make the change. When I look at

859
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: them stands, and the way I see it, that's the

860
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: old generation. No, you know, you know nothing against you

861
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: and your generation KNEWI. But it's some people that are

862
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: still living in the old times. And the new generation

863
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: is going to be the one to come and change.

864
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: And those people are out there protesting and starting companies

865
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: and doing all this other stuff. So let those people

866
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: sit in the stands, that old generation do what they

867
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: want to. They will be the minority soon and the

868
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: majority will be against racism. So that old. I'm not that.

869
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm not that on. I'm not that on. That's that's

870
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 1: not the democrat. I'm not that demographic. Okay, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever,

871
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: whatever generation is before us, before millennial. Are you a millennial?

872
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: Well if you're not, I'm counting everybody, but I'm I'm

873
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 1: counting everybody before us to be you know, getting phased.

874
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: You know, they stuck in those ways, and then you see,

875
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: you know, the millennials and the gen Z's and all

876
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: that stuff. Now we're moving on, we're moving on, and

877
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: we're kind of is getting eliminated piece by piece, and

878
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 1: those old people they'll be stuck behind those seventeen thousand.

879
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: They'll be in the minority soon and they'll be boring

880
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: and looking like idiots. Why everybody else is you know,

881
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: trying to trying to correct social injustice and fight racism.

882
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: Jj Wat said he wasn't He said he wasn't sure

883
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: what the booing was about. Jj Let me tell you.

884
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: It was booing them saying we don't care about unity. Okay,

885
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: that's what the booing was about. We don't care about it,

886
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: we don't want to see it. And it was very

887
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: clear from the fans about how they felt when they booed,

888
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: and you're I think sometimes when people think they're doing,

889
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, the right thing, and they think that other

890
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: people are going to see it that way, they don't.

891
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: There's some folks out there who are not going to

892
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: be convinced. Somebody once told me a man convinced against

893
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: his willings of the same opinion. Still, there are a

894
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: whole lot of people out there who think that there's

895
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: nothing wrong at all. And this is where the players

896
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: have to keep hammering the message home. Yes, there are

897
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: things wrong. There are things that need to change. So

898
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: J J. Watt, you got you gotta, you gotta, you

899
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: gotta gotta open your eyes a little bit there, Bay,

900
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: gotta open your eyes a little bit more, because there's

901
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people that don't want unity. Even

902
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: though the players came out there and said, you know,

903
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 1: let's all stick together, let's let's be a better American

904
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: and listen, let me say that it stop trying to

905
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: make these people happy. I listen to them. We wanted

906
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: to do something, we want to say here, we want

907
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: to do something to not offend nobody. And I'm like,

908
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: what the people that you are offending are the people

909
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: that they're not gonna change their mind. That's the people

910
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: that we're fighting against. Stop trying to make them people happy.

911
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: We don't care about that. Let them boo. Let let

912
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: them boo at the unity or whatever you're trying to show.

913
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: This is gonna any racism will make everybody equal. Let

914
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: them boo, let them be mad, let them people not

915
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: like y'all, let them not watch the game. Nobody care

916
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: about that. They will be in the minority. Let's let's

917
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: cater to the people that want change, all right. So,

918
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: so based on what we saw there, and we'll see

919
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: different UM teams come out UM on Sunday with different,

920
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, obviously different ways that they want to express themselves.

921
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins already put a video out saying that they're

922
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: not going to be involved. So what do you expect

923
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys to do it? So fight stating where

924
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 1: there will be no fans. By the way, there will

925
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: be no fans for this football game. So the national

926
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: anthem is played Bury Church, what are you expecting from

927
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: these cowboys? From these cowboys, I mean, we've we've heard

928
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: a lot of talk the whole offseason about you know,

929
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 1: they want you know what change to be made, and

930
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: we need to speak to Jerry about having changed and

931
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: being able to protest. So I expect going into so

932
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: Far Stadium, especially without without there being no fans, I

933
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: expect there to be some sort of protest from the

934
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys um, whether it be taking a knee, or

935
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: whether it be not coming out for the anthem or

936
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, showing us unity as like as the Chiefs

937
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: and the Texans did. I expect something to happen. There's

938
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: been too much talk in the offseason for nothing to happen.

939
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 1: So we shall see. But I expect the protest to happen.

940
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what I expect. I hope

941
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: we don't go out here and do nothing's super crazy

942
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: for marketing or something just to you know, to be

943
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: seen as the people who are doing the doing the most,

944
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: doing the biggest. Then you know, do the thing that's

945
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: gonna make change. Like Colin Kaepernick took a knee for

946
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: a reason, and then now we're trying to like, you know,

947
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: change at all, to change the message and make all

948
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: these other people happy and do this, do what's gonna

949
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: go gonna make the most difference and whatever that is doing.

950
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: If that's taking a knee to show that that's that's

951
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: when you stand that didn't do that. Like, so, I'm

952
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: not sure what they gonna do. I don't think we'll

953
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: see that many needs taken though, because you know, this

954
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: is the Cowboys and previously, you know people would threatened

955
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,959
Speaker 1: to get you know, not put on the field because

956
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: of this. Don Terry Poe has had already come out

957
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: and said so during training camp he planned to take

958
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: a knee during the national anthem. Ezekiel Hellet on record

959
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: saying that he expects some Cowboy players to lead demonstrations,

960
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott said that whatever guys did, they would

961
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: do individually. Tyrone Crawford came out and said that the

962
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to come out and do something powerful.

963
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: So I don't know what will happen here, but I'll

964
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: be ready for it and we'll obviously have a discussion

965
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: on Monday to talk about it, and obviously that night

966
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: on my Sunday show, I'll dive into it and we

967
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,959
Speaker 1: can touch on that aspect. Now, what about the fact

968
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: that you're also having two national anthems played, Lift every

969
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 1: voice and sing. Otherwise there was a black national anthem

970
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: has been played first, followed by the national anthem, So

971
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: that's going to be very interesting. Are is there any

972
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: protest during the black national anthem and versus the the

973
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: Star Spangled banner? You know what happens there. The Miami

974
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: Dolphins already said, look, we're not gonna come out because

975
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: we're not going to put ourselves in a position to

976
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: have to make any choices at all, and they did

977
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: not want to be a part of what they felt

978
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: was the NFL's marketing of how they were trying to

979
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: put this out there. So, Church, what do you think

980
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: about that? I think, you know what, I think, you know,

981
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: the more I think about the Miami way of doing things,

982
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like it could work. I mean

983
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: it's basically them just saying, hey, look, we don't want

984
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,399
Speaker 1: to do anything with this, you know, NFL marketing, having

985
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: this black national anthem in front of the you know,

986
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: the the national anthem that everybody goes by. But I

987
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: think it could work. I mean, they came up with

988
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: their idea, they're they're unified in it, and it's showing that,

989
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, they're protesting this as a unified group. So

990
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: I believe it could work. Well, yeah, listen, I'm at

991
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: what people saying in the locker room. I tell you

992
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: this in full transparency. I want people to show who

993
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: they are. So if that's how you feel, come out

994
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: in protest the black National anthem. I would love to

995
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: see it. If that's the If that's the way you

996
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: really feel about it. You know, people are protesting the

997
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, the other national anthems. So if you feel it,

998
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: that's strongly about it, and that's how you feel about

999
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: black people and in the national anthem, come out and

1000
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: protests the shorts. All right, let's uh, let's let's hit

1001
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: on a couple of topics before we get out of here.

1002
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: Number one, Alden Smith expectations Game one. Mccraig go, I

1003
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: give him a sack, you know, because they're so secretive.

1004
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: I have no idea where he's gonna play, how he's

1005
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: gonna play, so you know, that's kind of up in

1006
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: the air. So I see him getting a couple of

1007
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: quarterback persons. It maybe a sack, just just because I

1008
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: believe that we'll be up in the game and Jared

1009
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: Golf will be trying to complete a lot of passes

1010
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: to come back. If the if the depth charges is correct,

1011
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: and he's playing sam linebacker out there. Um, in the

1012
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: base coverages, I can expect him to look kind of

1013
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 1: lost out there. But um, if he you know, if

1014
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: he's off that edge like he usually is, man, I

1015
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: can I can see him. Um, I can see him

1016
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: having a sack or two out there, maybe just just

1017
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: because of the Rams offensive line being so terrible. So

1018
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: I can see him walking out of the game with

1019
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: a sack or two. And let's end it the way

1020
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: we began talking about the wide receiver position. So who

1021
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: has the bigger night? Mark, Michael Gallip or C. D

1022
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: Lamb Church y'all start with you? Well, y'all know how

1023
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: you know I already feel what's gonna happen with Cooper. No, no,

1024
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: nothing against him. It's just, you know, I feel like Ramsey,

1025
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, just gonna you know, end up getting it,

1026
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: getting after him a little bit. Sou the bigger night.

1027
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go with the rookie. I think, um,

1028
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: out of all the receivers, I think McVeigh is gonna

1029
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: make the rookie, you know, prove itself out there and

1030
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: say you gotta beat this one along coverage before we

1031
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: put any attention on you, and I think that I'll

1032
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: give him a boost up because I think he's an

1033
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: extremely gifted wide receiver. So I think he'll have the

1034
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: best night out of all three of them. Listen, and

1035
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: just despite both of y'all, I'm going with nineteen, and

1036
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why. All right, I'm going I'm

1037
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 1: going with nineteen because the kool aid that New Year's drinking,

1038
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start sipping a little bit. And i'm gonna

1039
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: say that McCarthy talked to killing. He said, we have

1040
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: to find a way to get Amari Cooper open and

1041
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: with the ball, just like the Saints do with Michael Thomas.

1042
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: They put them all over the field, and so when

1043
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: teams run his own, you'll see Michael Thomas in the

1044
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: slot and he'll get away from Jayale Ramsey if he

1045
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: getting locked down like that. So I see to him

1046
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 1: getting a lot of opportunities, you know, to get open

1047
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: and beat the number one read. So I see him

1048
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: having a big night, albeit probably not against man coverage

1049
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: on Jalen Ramsey. I think they find a way to

1050
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 1: get them the ball and get them involved. Okay, I'm

1051
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: going Michael gallup as usual. There is disrespect here for

1052
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 1: number thirteen. Number thirteen will have the best night of

1053
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 1: the Cowboys wide receivers. Okay, and that just right there,

1054
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: and that that's it. And by the way, I expected

1055
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: Sequel Ellie to have be best offensive night period. I'm

1056
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: expecting two rushing touchdowns from exeque Ellie and I think

1057
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna get about three or four receiving balls in

1058
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: the air, receiving and do his thing. And you know,

1059
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: pick up Gallup on your fantasy No, he's not, Okay,

1060
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: not this year. Okay, I'm just checking. I had an

1061
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to take him and I didn't do it, and

1062
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 1: I regret that because I should have. I should have

1063
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: done it because Gallant was a part of my fantasy

1064
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 1: football championship team last year along with Dak Prescott. I

1065
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: was unfortunately did not get the band back together. Let

1066
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: him walking free agency. Ain't that song? Man? I know

1067
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: I was trying not to be too much of a homer,

1068
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: but I did. I did mess that up. I went

1069
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: another way, and I regretted it. I regret like I

1070
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have done I should

1071
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: have just gone ahead and taking a guy that I

1072
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: believe will have a very good third season and have

1073
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: a breakout year. All right, look, everybody, enjoy the game

1074
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: on NBC Sunday Night. Football Week one is finally here.

1075
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: We're drinking the kool ai. We all say the Cowboys

1076
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: will win this football game, and make sure you check

1077
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: out our bet because McCray says Cooper will have eight

1078
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 1: to nine targets at least in this football game. Church

1079
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: and I disagree because Ramsey's expected to travel against Cooper,

1080
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: so we're saying he'll have no more than five or

1081
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: six targets. So tweet us during the game about it.
