Speaker 1: Danny McCrae, you can catch you tomorrow on survivor. He's
Speaker 1: on the cast this year, a season forty one, So
Speaker 1: catch Danny McCray. Both of these guys are four Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys players, undrafted free agid safe because I'm new, he scrugs,
Speaker 1: a longtime Cowboys reporter. The beauty of the players line
Speaker 1: is we want to take you and give you an
Speaker 1: insight into how players feel about these shows. And in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas there was a bombshell dropped yesterday in the
Speaker 1: National Football League, and we must talk about it on
Speaker 1: this show because oh, by the way, the Cowboys do
Speaker 1: face the Raiders all Thanksgiving Day. And the person who's
Speaker 1: going to leave the Raiders now is Rich Besot. You
Speaker 1: your former coach, will dive into that. But let's first
Speaker 1: hit on John who on Sunday stepped to the podium
Speaker 1: told everybody ever racist bone in his body. He got
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee and Mike Treko ESPN putting on these capes
Speaker 1: for flying through the air. If he says he's not,
Speaker 1: we must believe him. So they sat there and everybody, Oh,
Speaker 1: give John a pass, Let's forgive him a smooth forward.
Speaker 1: Then bam, here comes of New York Times. So he
Speaker 1: not only is a racist, He hates women, he hates
Speaker 1: gay people, he hates the NFL SAFT protocol. He can't
Speaker 1: stand Roger Goodell calling him homophobic names. They went out
Speaker 1: Goodell had hard and I don't think that's the end
Speaker 1: of it. I think it's gonna some wars won't come
Speaker 1: out eventually, I believe. Let me tell you something, if
Speaker 1: you think the New York's Time did, they didn't timing
Speaker 1: that up. They was like, oh, oh, that's what he said.
Speaker 1: We're about to drop this one. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's here's how that kind of stuff happens in investigative journalism.
Speaker 1: So the Wall Street Journal comes out and they have it.
Speaker 1: So the Wall Street Journal has it, and then within
Speaker 1: that Grutin admits that he called Roger Goodell an inflammatory name.
Speaker 1: We never knew what it was. So I am just
Speaker 1: just how I've seen this happen. The Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: came out with theirs because they've got when the New
Speaker 1: York Times has that, because the New York Times had
Speaker 1: a whole lot more. It was a lot more in
Speaker 1: there talking about how they got pictures of other Washington
Speaker 1: the cheerleaders just bottoms on and six and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: emails is what I read. They were investigating. So they've
Speaker 1: got all this. So the Times has all this. Somehow,
Speaker 1: some way, somebody from the Wall Street Journal got a
Speaker 1: little taste like, let's get something out here quick. And
Speaker 1: then it follows up because gruten knew that there were
Speaker 1: other emails. He knew that, and he was just trying
Speaker 1: to set up here and protect itself a little bit,
Speaker 1: and then the Times it's okay, now now we've got
Speaker 1: everything we need. Boom, here it comes. He tried that
Speaker 1: eminem approach to it, you know. You know, I might
Speaker 1: have said a couple other things trying to get out
Speaker 1: in front of it, but he couldn't do it too far.
Speaker 1: I mean. And the thing that I kind of scratched
Speaker 1: my head with was with the racist comments. You would
Speaker 1: I think it would have been done at that, like
Speaker 1: he's got to go. But you know, it was all,
Speaker 1: let's just sweep that under the rug, you know. But
Speaker 1: as soon as he talked about you know, the LBGTQ
Speaker 1: community and you talk about women, all, that's it. That's
Speaker 1: the that's the straw that broke the camel's back. He
Speaker 1: got to go. Now, why wasn't it like that when
Speaker 1: he was saying the racist stuff that that's the thing
Speaker 1: that kind of had in my head spinning, like, wait
Speaker 1: a second, he's cool with saying that, but as soon
Speaker 1: as he says it's over here, it's a rap. It's
Speaker 1: a rap. Tony Dungee came out there and jumped in
Speaker 1: front of him and Terrico. Oh yeah, yeah, my bad times,
Speaker 1: Black Tim Brown, former player, Black Charles Woodson out here,
Speaker 1: black Tony Dungeon. Is it's a common thing, right with
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee stepping out and being the being, being the
Speaker 1: person who vout just for all these people who make
Speaker 1: these these silly bad decisions, because like I always I
Speaker 1: was told, is a big difference between mistakes and bad decisions,
Speaker 1: all right, and John Gruten has made plenty of bad decisions.
Speaker 1: And everybody's like, yeah, I don't think it's that big
Speaker 1: of a deal. You know, he was you know he
Speaker 1: talks this way, blah blah blah blah. This is what happens.
Speaker 1: Right when you're an NFL head coach, you are a
Speaker 1: leader of men. Without this is you're you're supposed to
Speaker 1: be leading these men. When you talk about youth football.
Speaker 1: The coach for your youth football team. You have a kid,
Speaker 1: you they're supposed to be sending an example for how
Speaker 1: your kid is supposed to be on the field and
Speaker 1: off the field. All right, not only the leader of men,
Speaker 1: but Carl, that's it on your team. It's openly game man,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's it's tough, it's it's it's how
Speaker 1: is it? You know what? Players like? How do you
Speaker 1: look at that man and me like, you know what?
Speaker 1: You can be my leader? It had already started when
Speaker 1: you had in and got way at the podium like
Speaker 1: no comment, So you already knew it. You guys know
Speaker 1: its players when you when you roll up there and
Speaker 1: they come at you and you give them no comment. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's something that's boiling. It's boiling and something. You know what, man,
Speaker 1: that's my coach, just like I got his back now
Speaker 1: it was none of that. Well he was like Dan,
Speaker 1: no comment. M I'm gonna just straight up saying like this.
Speaker 1: It was wrong. It was reckless, irresponsible, and people have
Speaker 1: to pay for the stuff that they say and do,
Speaker 1: no matter how old it is. You never paid for
Speaker 1: And he came out if it didn't offend you, it
Speaker 1: didn't offend you. But it offended a lot of people,
Speaker 1: all right, And that's the important part here. It was offensive,
Speaker 1: all right. So you know, whatever happens happens, you make it,
Speaker 1: you gotta sleep in it. If any of us make
Speaker 1: a mistake, we can't expect to have the answer for
Speaker 1: those mistakes and suffer the consequences. And that's that's kind
Speaker 1: of where they are right now. But shout out to
Speaker 1: my man, coach Rich finally getting his opportunity to be
Speaker 1: a head coach in the National Football League. And I
Speaker 1: think he's been very deserved of this shot because when
Speaker 1: I was here and him coaching me, he was a
Speaker 1: great guy. He was a great motivator of men. He
Speaker 1: was one of those guys to where if I had
Speaker 1: a son and he was the youth football coach for
Speaker 1: the league, I would be like, hey, man, coach Rich
Speaker 1: is going to get you right. He's gonna say the
Speaker 1: right things, tell you to do the right things. Oh
Speaker 1: and by the way, he lives his life the right way.
Speaker 1: Don't smoke. He always said, don't smoke, don't drink. I'm
Speaker 1: a dad and I'm a football coach. That's exactly who
Speaker 1: he is, I mean, And that's the type of guy
Speaker 1: he isn't and that's why everybody kind of He got
Speaker 1: the most out of his players. I mean, they would
Speaker 1: run through a wall for risk beside, just because he
Speaker 1: had you can tell, like you said, he was living
Speaker 1: the right way and he was practicing what he preached
Speaker 1: out there. You know, he didn't drink, didn't do any
Speaker 1: of that stuff, and he expected the same out of
Speaker 1: his players. So to me, I mean, I'm glad rich
Speaker 1: finally got that job. And look, I hope he makes
Speaker 1: the most of it, you know. I hope he goes
Speaker 1: out there and has a great run with these Raiders
Speaker 1: and he's able to you know, double play that again
Speaker 1: to get something going. So to me, shout out the
Speaker 1: rich Man. I hope I just wanted his players to
Speaker 1: give him a fair shot. Yeah, all right, because sometimes
Speaker 1: you you know, the association with whatever happens, and I
Speaker 1: know him and John being friends for a long time.
Speaker 1: I hope that all the players on that team see
Speaker 1: Rich for who he is and what they know him
Speaker 1: to be and give him a fair shot to lead
Speaker 1: them throughout the rest of the season. Because they have
Speaker 1: a good team. They do they can still make some noise.
Speaker 1: This is the right man for the job. I can't
Speaker 1: tell you how much respect I have for Rich. I
Speaker 1: still stay in contact with him to day. He and
Speaker 1: I were just, you know, texting each other back just
Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago, and I had sent him a
Speaker 1: text this morning and I said, you are the right
Speaker 1: person for this job, and good luck to you. Because
Speaker 1: there are some people who talk about substance and there's
Speaker 1: other people who live it. Rich Besacchia lives with substance,
Speaker 1: and you walk away at conversations with him. He makes
Speaker 1: you want to be a better person, like, hey man,
Speaker 1: am I getting am I? Am I being the best
Speaker 1: person I can be. So I think that they have Mark,
Speaker 1: I will say this. I'm gonna go out on them
Speaker 1: and say this. Mark Davis may have found himself in
Speaker 1: the same situation that Clemson Tigers found themselves a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago when they fired Tommy Bowden and then
Speaker 1: they gave Dabbo Sweeney the job. Now, it didn't start
Speaker 1: off where Dabbo had this team playing in some national
Speaker 1: champions It took Dabbo a while to get it too.
Speaker 1: But when you talk about a person who knew how
Speaker 1: to get people to go forward, and that kind of
Speaker 1: that kind of message because that was not an excell
Speaker 1: whole guy. He's a people person. Yeah, Rich beside you
Speaker 1: is a people person and right now, more than what
Speaker 1: you need in next and you need some people. You
Speaker 1: need somebody to get these guys to come up in
Speaker 1: here and and go forward and do this without the
Speaker 1: hate and animosity in their heart, which obviously, if you're
Speaker 1: a guy like Carl Nassy, you could damn sure has
Speaker 1: some hate in your heart right now for a guy
Speaker 1: like John you know, I would say this too, um,
Speaker 1: you know, aside from play calling and how they're gonna
Speaker 1: get you know, replaced John Gruden as far as his
Speaker 1: schemes and all that stuff, I think Derek Carr is
Speaker 1: gonna benefit from having a guy like Rich be leading
Speaker 1: him versus John's Gruden because I'm not I'm not there,
Speaker 1: and I don't know the relationship that they had, but
Speaker 1: you always hear that, Yeah, John Grun probably didn't want
Speaker 1: them that much, and you know that the respect factor
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, I'll give you. I'll give you
Speaker 1: that story, but I'll get you a story about that.
Speaker 1: Right Rich is going to be a leader for Derek
Speaker 1: Carr and the guy that you know Derek Cark and
Speaker 1: lean on and say, hey, man, well what do I
Speaker 1: need to do? What do you need for me? And
Speaker 1: I think the relationship that those two have throughout the
Speaker 1: rest of the season is going to prove dividends for
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. There is an ability for the Raiders to
Speaker 1: be a better team down that John Gruden is gone.
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I truly believe that. And
Speaker 1: if you're Mark Davis, boy, you just got a whole
Speaker 1: lot of money wiped off the books. You know, I
Speaker 1: worry about sixty mil left on that thing. If you
Speaker 1: if you're what does group tell us wife? What have
Speaker 1: they been out here spending and making some purchases? Oh?
Speaker 1: You know, we're good because we've we got a honeyman knight,
Speaker 1: we're gonna head get that there and get that there, like, oh,
Speaker 1: you might have extended yourself on a couple of things.
Speaker 1: He's still got some money, ain't he still up? But
Speaker 1: when you're thinking of you know, when you think that
Speaker 1: you've got this, it's it's it's it's a contract. And
Speaker 1: the bad we're good. Oh we're not good. I mean,
Speaker 1: happs all the time. Happens all the time. Man, happens
Speaker 1: all the time. So Cowboys face the Raiders on Thanksgiving Day.
Speaker 1: Former Cowboys Special teams assistant coach Rich Beside, you will
Speaker 1: be leading the Raiders at is a situation just as
Speaker 1: we always do. We look at all go to the game.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I might go to the game. No,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll be working, but but I'll be watching.
Speaker 1: So it's got something to look out for because they
Speaker 1: are on the on the Cowboy schedule. As I said,
Speaker 1: I think that there can be a end up being
Speaker 1: a better football team in the long run and maybe
Speaker 1: next time around. Um, the owner of the team will
Speaker 1: use some common sense because he had a good general
Speaker 1: manager and Reggie McKenzie and Jack del Rey, they were winning.
Speaker 1: You bring in John Grew. Where's the winning bit? I
Speaker 1: mean it's he's they have gone backwards. Yeah, he hasn't
Speaker 1: gotten his return on investment. I tell you that. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: we do not have access into the locker room because
Speaker 1: the person I would really love to have a conversation
Speaker 1: with his Zamari Cooper. What was that experience he was?
Speaker 1: How long was he under there? He was it was
Speaker 1: with Gruden right? Yeah? Yeah, he was you know, drifted
Speaker 1: by Reggie McKinsey with other coaches, but Gruden's when it
Speaker 1: rang him out, they got him out there. Quible ye
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. Yeah, you can almost guarantee that a Tonio
Speaker 1: Brown to be speaking up sometime, so you'll be hearing
Speaker 1: something from Auto them unloading because ke Keyshawn's buddy minded,
Speaker 1: he was here and he went he could stand that guy.
Speaker 1: I mean you you you want to get him going,
Speaker 1: just bring up group group titty. I would say this
Speaker 1: in these situations. I'm always it always confuses me of
Speaker 1: why some people are so they get so upset that
Speaker 1: somebody else is upset, Like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like if you get if you're mad about it, right,
Speaker 1: if you really take it to heart what John Grewden
Speaker 1: said or whoever said something racist or misogynistic or whatever,
Speaker 1: and you're upset, why would I be mad at you
Speaker 1: right now? That's how that made you feel. But I
Speaker 1: guarantee you as so many people like, oh, everybody's so
Speaker 1: happy that John grew did this, and I don't understand
Speaker 1: why he's abody's so mad? What do you mean because
Speaker 1: it don't affect that it's not even your business, like
Speaker 1: and then let them handle that. You know, so long ago.
Speaker 1: What do you mean we just heard about it. Ain't
Speaker 1: seen what that fargo. Man, If you let them people
Speaker 1: be mad and then you ain't mad, then that's your
Speaker 1: that's your prerogative not to be mad. But let everybody
Speaker 1: have their own emotions. Right now. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've paid attention to it at all, but it's been
Speaker 1: very interesting how ESPN has not said these emails came
Speaker 1: about while he was an employee of ours doing Monday
Speaker 1: night football. You know, the runaway have run away from that.
Speaker 1: He sitting out some you know him, he was sitting
Speaker 1: out some. He was your employee. He wasn't He wasn't
Speaker 1: waiting for the way to Yet you guys are partners
Speaker 1: with the league, and this is what your guys out
Speaker 1: here doing something Monday night football. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And ultimately, and I keep coming back to this as
Speaker 1: I've heard people try to rationalize John and then calling
Speaker 1: it cancel culture. This is what was in his heart
Speaker 1: and he's revealed it over years. This is who he is.
Speaker 1: Mad drunk or mad drunk or little kids don't tell
Speaker 1: you the truth, he will tell you the truth. So
Speaker 1: that's what you got there. This is who he is.
Speaker 1: And I am not going to tell you this guy
Speaker 1: will never be on television and he's done. No, this
Speaker 1: is this is a mara. We've seen plenty of people
Speaker 1: get other chances, an opportunity to a couple of years.
Speaker 1: Look at Marve Alert so here that whole yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that whole easy. Okay, So I'll be back on the
Speaker 1: thought Michael Vick would get a job in the NFL
Speaker 1: and then become a television commented. So don't sit around
Speaker 1: here for the people trying to write John Gruden off
Speaker 1: and say he's done forever. No, don't don't say let's
Speaker 1: let's make it clear here. Nobody's asking for the dude
Speaker 1: to have to go hide under the rock for the
Speaker 1: rest of his life and not be able to work.
Speaker 1: All right, what you're asking for is be accountable for
Speaker 1: what you said and what you did. Serve your time,
Speaker 1: whatever you have to do, like when you brought up
Speaker 1: Michael Vick, Serve your time, and then try to reintegrate
Speaker 1: yourself back into what you're trying to do, showing that
Speaker 1: you've changed and become a different and better person. Nobody
Speaker 1: trying to trying to get rid of the dude to
Speaker 1: try to go hide be accountable. You want everybody to
Speaker 1: be accountable. If the same people that are upset about
Speaker 1: this will ask other people to be accountable for what
Speaker 1: they're doing, all right, it's nothing different. So and he
Speaker 1: could not walk back into that locker room with all
Speaker 1: those things that are And the NFL also has an
Speaker 1: issue here because they want to run around with these slogans.
Speaker 1: It takes all of us on the back and the
Speaker 1: helmet's in and racism on the bag, and then you
Speaker 1: got this. You know, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: they people keep talking about, oh, so and so is
Speaker 1: a bad apple. Now at some point in time, he
Speaker 1: got a bad treat And the NFL has to do
Speaker 1: some soul searching about what's going on here, because they
Speaker 1: knew about these emails and they just still kind of
Speaker 1: just sat back. So it's almost as though they were
Speaker 1: waiting on the New York's Times and everybody else to
Speaker 1: do the work for them, because he got the emails
Speaker 1: on what Friday, and he still coached on that Sunday. Right,
Speaker 1: the league knew about how long do you think this
Speaker 1: man knew that this was coming out? Do you think
Speaker 1: he had like a heads up months ago. Okay, because
Speaker 1: because yeah, because you know the investigator. All right, I'm
Speaker 1: writing this story on Barry church Church. Do you have
Speaker 1: a comment. I have to come to you. I'm doing
Speaker 1: this investigation. This is what I found, Barry, this is
Speaker 1: what we found. Do you have a comment about this?
Speaker 1: Gruden gave a comment because when they call on him,
Speaker 1: they laid it all he knew it. Yeah, So at
Speaker 1: this point in time, you think they laid it all out,
Speaker 1: or they laid that first part out not aware that
Speaker 1: they had the rest of this stuff that was coming out.
Speaker 1: Because if I'm doing this investigation, I'm going to tell
Speaker 1: Barry this is all that I have here. I want
Speaker 1: to know your thoughts on this. Well, he did say,
Speaker 1: like I said, some other things as well, So they
Speaker 1: had it. They had to know. You say so much
Speaker 1: of you don't even remember when I said three Yeah,
Speaker 1: by the way, our boy William Boy Kids part of
Speaker 1: the show, he says. ESPN releases statement quote the comments
Speaker 1: are clearly repugnant under any circumstances. Okay, thanks, um, But
Speaker 1: he knew he had he had a knowledge because you're
Speaker 1: going to do that because ultimately you don't want when
Speaker 1: you're the the journalistic enterprise on the other suit side,
Speaker 1: you want to make sure, Hey, we went to Barry
Speaker 1: Church for comment. He gave us nothing. So that's something
Speaker 1: you do all the time. So so declined to be
Speaker 1: interviewed for this report. That's what you put in there
Speaker 1: because you're not doing the total job if you're not,
Speaker 1: because you don't know if Gruten Mighty said something in
Speaker 1: here he takes I was just I was in a
Speaker 1: bad frame of mind because of that that the down
Speaker 1: was on a mission, and you know, I was just frustrated.
Speaker 1: So that's what he gave them. So they got a
Speaker 1: comment from him. So yes, he knew, he knew about it,
Speaker 1: and then he just kind of sat back waiting see
Speaker 1: if he was gonna sweep it under the rug, to
Speaker 1: see can I. It's like a politician, can I get
Speaker 1: through this storm? That's how you act when you frustrated
Speaker 1: and so so so so what dru kid? So what
Speaker 1: happened on Sunday? He goes to the poet again. He
Speaker 1: does it. Then it's like, I'm not gonna keep talking
Speaker 1: about this. Gets away. You got Tim Brown and get
Speaker 1: you back. He got Charles Wooden getting du you got
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee. So this man answered questions, tried to put
Speaker 1: up as dukes. Then he let it go, had people
Speaker 1: run out of that for him, and he got it
Speaker 1: and he was good. All kind have made it through,
Speaker 1: ended up, and then then here comes a time and
Speaker 1: now now you're got you gotta go ahead and move
Speaker 1: all right. But most of all, congratulations to the opportunity
Speaker 1: for rich beside you. This is a guy who should
Speaker 1: have been a head coach in my opinion, a long
Speaker 1: time ago. But unfortunately this is a league that doesn't
Speaker 1: believe in hiring special teams coaches. But he's got his opportunity.
Speaker 1: Good luck to him. Let's take a break. Let's dive
Speaker 1: into the Dallas Cowboys and Dan Quinn's thoughts on tray

Speaker 1: Runyon steak pepper runnion. Next, a counterclockwise lap around the rule.

Speaker 1: the dance you know the one. This is the game
Speaker 1: day ritual no matter where you are, whether you're traveling
Speaker 1: to the game or watching from your favorite vacation spot.
Speaker 1: Boca plays to stay on Hotels dot com and keep
Speaker 1: the tradition alive and well. Hotels dot Com proud partner
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys to the Players Loud. This is
Speaker 1: the players Lounge right here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 1: Radio Nui Scrugs along with Barry Church and Danny McCrae.
Speaker 1: Cowboys taking on the two and three New England Patriot.
Speaker 1: It's on Sunday Matt Jones is a rookie quarterback. Trey
Speaker 1: bund Diggs. He's picked off everyone. So if you're picking
Speaker 1: off Justin Herbert, you're picking off Tom Brady maybe. And
Speaker 1: I don't know. I got to check if he played
Speaker 1: with Jones at Alabama. I think they did, yeah, because
Speaker 1: he has been there since he was before. They're their team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: their team. So in fairness to Danny Downs, he didn't
Speaker 1: get Danny Downs. He did not. Cox got Danny Man.
Speaker 1: We good for something, bare were good for something. North
Speaker 1: Dakota State man. Once he won championship was championship. He's
Speaker 1: definitely Did he go to lu Did he go to
Speaker 1: LSU bos in fact with the LSU? But you don't
Speaker 1: claim him? Who? No, no, no, he ended He ended
Speaker 1: at Kentucky Jabril Cox ended where okay, baton Rouge Louisiana
Speaker 1: the boot and no, no, I'm not I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not not claiming boss man. He ended up at Kentucky.
Speaker 1: He went to LSU. I think he's gonna be okay,
Speaker 1: but I didn't see him. Hey, I didn't Kentucky playing
Speaker 1: until the other day. They beat the socks off. Here's
Speaker 1: the true test. Here's the true test, ain't no tests
Speaker 1: when whenever he breaks the starting lineup and he goes
Speaker 1: on NBC for Sunday Night Football, he says, where the
Speaker 1: school jabrook Cox when he breaking the start line up?
Speaker 1: I just said when when I'm asking you when it
Speaker 1: may be two years too. Okay, that's going to be
Speaker 1: the test we're really forgot about. This is high school
Speaker 1: trust because my man because whatever we say, my man
Speaker 1: ab is out there ballingalling, So ain't no cracking, no
Speaker 1: star lineup. He might go the Russell Russell Wilson rob.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm Russell Wilson, whole pack of badges for
Speaker 1: the wolf Pack and and Wisconsin. So I guess I'll
Speaker 1: just be very interested to see exactly how that all works.
Speaker 1: But I'm imagining jabrelle Coxe will be in the North
Speaker 1: Dakota State Hall of Fame. Just yeah, kick him. That's fine,
Speaker 1: So we'll see me because he won't be in the
Speaker 1: LSU for Hall of Fame. That one, that one that's
Speaker 1: hard to get into, right, That's what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: so yeah, he may consider himself a bising So we'll
Speaker 1: go forward. Let's get back into Tray Dicks Dan Quinn
Speaker 1: had this comment about trade dis ahead to be Um,
Speaker 1: he's quiet by nature, but I would say, I don't
Speaker 1: confuse that quiet demeanor. Uh, this is a true wolf
Speaker 1: in sheep's clothing. I mean, this guy is a rare
Speaker 1: competitor and I love the way he goes after it
Speaker 1: in battles and um, he's got some excellent players to
Speaker 1: go against some practice. So if you were want to
Speaker 1: really test yourself, uh, look no further than our own
Speaker 1: practice field. And he's definitely, you know, usually up for
Speaker 1: that challenge as it goes through. I don't know about
Speaker 1: wolf and sheeps clothe because we saw in a hard
Speaker 1: nosm My boy was going at Cooper in a in
Speaker 1: that he was letting him note what time it was, Well,
Speaker 1: we don't know about well he was saying he's quiet,
Speaker 1: you know, probably a friendly guy. But then he got
Speaker 1: that Bez Bryant side on the field. What what he's meaning, right,
Speaker 1: because Ben Bryan is a wolf in wolf's Yeah, without doubt,
Speaker 1: one of the most competitive guys. It could we could
Speaker 1: be playing paper football. Who do you think you got dubbed?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he understand that part about it. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the dude's playing great. Is it? Six picks
Speaker 1: in five games? Yeah? Yeah. Like the fact that we
Speaker 1: are sitting here thinking about how long can this street go?
Speaker 1: I'm interceptions. I was off the train a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks back. But he ain't gonna get enough. Man, I
Speaker 1: know you owe me something that I hate to think
Speaker 1: that somebody doubted me for saying that man deserve a
Speaker 1: second contract. Last. Let me let me tell you something
Speaker 1: early on that Literally I give credit on that he
Speaker 1: called him when he was getting toasted. All right, but
Speaker 1: but we also chalked it up what I did because Church,
Speaker 1: don't he want to put it on the players. Nolan
Speaker 1: was horrible, all right, I don't get it. Offseason that
Speaker 1: held those everybody on that defense back. There was not
Speaker 1: a player who was better, who got better that year,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he's gone. And name
Speaker 1: a player who has not gotten better on defense. You
Speaker 1: can fifty last last, but find me a player who
Speaker 1: hadn't got better. But Church, it's gonna take me a while.
Speaker 1: Some recepch think about this. Church. So the vision I
Speaker 1: had it even through this bad I saw the man
Speaker 1: he's gonna get on the second I see what you
Speaker 1: got going on. I was doubted, doubted by somebody's It's
Speaker 1: just impressive because he's getting it all types of ways.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's playing zone coverage off. I mean he's
Speaker 1: getting these interceptions like what's the last time you saw
Speaker 1: a dB on that deep ball be able to track
Speaker 1: the ball better than the receiver was able to Peter.
Speaker 1: He's great um and to be listed up there with
Speaker 1: some of those guys, some of those Stefan Gilmore's, those
Speaker 1: Rich dis Sermons, those de Rell Reeverses, to where at
Speaker 1: some point in time, they're not going to be throwing
Speaker 1: his way. So maybe get ready. AB's gonna have to
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to get get get his clas ready time.
Speaker 1: Him and Jordan Lewis they have to get ready. But
Speaker 1: what we've seen is they've both been ready to stand
Speaker 1: up to that challenge. Rod time TI roa tie. What
Speaker 1: makes they just lost get out of here because wasn't out?
Speaker 1: What makes it happens such an impressive corner? I know
Speaker 1: you ain't talking about no that CC losses. First of all,
Speaker 1: he talked about Beau Diggs or nothing. Do you remember
Speaker 1: when Jamar Chase that was up and justin come on, bro,
Speaker 1: don't don't do that. Don't don't you do that? Now
Speaker 1: we're giving back the den. Alabama lost by a couple
Speaker 1: of points, and I think we're got by twenty got
Speaker 1: beat by twenty in Kentucky. Yeah, we're still riding that
Speaker 1: national championship way. It was cool. Okay, what do you
Speaker 1: talk about? Your boy gonna get you to see when
Speaker 1: Kentucky got kN tuck your roll up in unless you
Speaker 1: by twenty, you know you was drinking. He was out drinking, dancing,
Speaker 1: eating cheese. Why don't you so? I'm just why you
Speaker 1: we ain't never four feet in the game, Tucky took
Speaker 1: them to the wood. Shit, y'all. Alabama got into a
Speaker 1: shootout with A and M. Yeah, and and they lost.
Speaker 1: Y'all didn't even show up to the game. Fitted they like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I don't think we do it. They lost to a
Speaker 1: basketball basketball school. His team didn't get off the bus.
Speaker 1: You know, you know the most successful cup pimber one
Speaker 1: on that day. Congratulations. The most successful coaching in Kentucky
Speaker 1: history is Man Bryan. Like in the forties while back
Speaker 1: heeron all that money. Unless you went up there got
Speaker 1: destroyed im When we won a National Championship. We lost
Speaker 1: to Kentucky. So I'm okay with that. So I bring
Speaker 1: up trade days, roll tie. You want to sit the
Speaker 1: pre giant? Oh okay, it got beat by Jimbo Fisher. Okay,
Speaker 1: it had They wasn't even ranked like Jimbo Fisher had
Speaker 1: the number one team even rights day, Alabama's most likely
Speaker 1: gonna be in the college football playoff. Had a bad day.
Speaker 1: The man had one bad day and what ten years? Okay,
Speaker 1: had a bad day. Man had a bad day. But yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go back to Nick the last game he lost
Speaker 1: to the last ten. You ain't Nick Saban coached player
Speaker 1: in Trey Bon Digs, who's leading in FLA, who I
Speaker 1: said deserved a second contract. He was getting cooked because
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan was serving to get cooked. He got he
Speaker 1: got swiped out here in the wrong places. He got
Speaker 1: way off the track. You got people saying trade me.
Speaker 1: I can't take it. You're all the switzerl Yes, everything
Speaker 1: was he got better. Everything was bad, But even through
Speaker 1: the bad, I saw the good in the man. I
Speaker 1: saw the good in the man started good in trade Switzerland.
Speaker 1: This man don't want to answer no question. Who batter
Speaker 1: who he is? Switzerland. I think they both got him
Speaker 1: go ahead. So back to the question, let's get back
Speaker 1: on track. He was ex gaming over a little bit.
Speaker 1: We was all in the dirt, but we were all overhead.
Speaker 1: Let's get back what makes Digs an elite corner right now? Like,
Speaker 1: what make what separates him from everybody? Exactly? Thank you
Speaker 1: ball skills. A lot of guys can can Byron Jones,
Speaker 1: A lot of guys can cover. You make sure that
Speaker 1: you don't catch the ball, get a PBu. But when
Speaker 1: you can turn that that regular PBu play into way
Speaker 1: big play opportunity for your offense who was rolling right now,
Speaker 1: to get the ball and go down the field and
Speaker 1: take a lead or close the game out, that's when
Speaker 1: you become that special cornerback. And he is. I think
Speaker 1: he's not just because he had six picks. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen a guy with those type of ball skills playing
Speaker 1: cornerback since I've seen Patrick Peterson in and hey, they're
Speaker 1: making those type of one handed grabs on favor routes,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. Like you said, he's playing the
Speaker 1: ball in the air better than the receivers. I mean,
Speaker 1: you see it nine times out of ten these corners
Speaker 1: if they're getting beat because he was beat by a
Speaker 1: couple of yards. I mean that was a bad throw.
Speaker 1: It looks faster to he did. He looks and the
Speaker 1: way he was able to come back on that dude
Speaker 1: was was unreal. But you see a lot of dvs
Speaker 1: out there. They started panning, you know, when the balls
Speaker 1: in the air, all snap, I'm getting beat. I got
Speaker 1: to hurry up and catch up to this guy. They
Speaker 1: start throwing their arms up tackling the dude. Pass interference.
Speaker 1: We've seen it in two occasions right now, the Philly
Speaker 1: when he was going against Smith, when I sat, he
Speaker 1: was able to go around Smith to pick, to pick
Speaker 1: the ball off. And then we see him in that
Speaker 1: deep post, you know, filing the guy getting running him
Speaker 1: over because he caught up to him. He tracked the ball, well,
Speaker 1: went up there? What is it? What was MAXI always
Speaker 1: said highest point, went up there to the highest point,
Speaker 1: got the pick. And I think that's what separates him,
Speaker 1: just his his ball skills, like you said, and ability
Speaker 1: to not panic if he's beat out a little. If
Speaker 1: I don't be nitpicky, though, all right, tell me this,
Speaker 1: If that is Aaron Rodgerson Devant Adams. Do you want
Speaker 1: to see your cornerback trailing like that trying to Okay,
Speaker 1: So I will, I will chalk it up to this.
Speaker 1: He knows who he's playing, all right, He's he's baiting guys.
Speaker 1: I think he's like escalating his plate to that level
Speaker 1: to where he knows what he can do and who
Speaker 1: he can catch, and he can tell the speed of
Speaker 1: the player that he's playing against. Um. But like we
Speaker 1: talked about earlier, they're going to start scheming him on
Speaker 1: some of these plays. Right when you jump in short routes,
Speaker 1: get ready for some double moves. Nobody tried him yet
Speaker 1: with that slating goal hitching go, but they did. But
Speaker 1: then ab Anthony Brown ended up on him on the double.
Speaker 1: Remember something got the pick and then Anthony Brown had
Speaker 1: to eat the double move. So so yeah, it's coming,
Speaker 1: it's coming. But I think he's gonna be ready because
Speaker 1: he has DQ as a defensive coordinator. He got out here,
Speaker 1: he got some really really good coaches. This might be
Speaker 1: the first game that they don't get a takeaway and
Speaker 1: we're gonna see if they can win without Are you
Speaker 1: Are you gonna say this every week? I always said
Speaker 1: at once and this is the second time this, Bill Belichick, Now,
Speaker 1: are you gonna you're gonna chime in on this? This
Speaker 1: is Matt mac Jones and Josh McDaniel's main just come
Speaker 1: up and say, look, we're not gonna throw this way.
Speaker 1: We're not even gonna chance it. I can see that
Speaker 1: happy right go over here. And like for other questions,
Speaker 1: who does he travel with this week? They don't really
Speaker 1: have it, you know. That's what I said. That's what
Speaker 1: the matchup is gonna be. These tight ends versus are
Speaker 1: our linebackers in that core, you know, Jonald Smith and
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry. They've been coming along lately these past couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. So I think that's gonna be the matchup
Speaker 1: because I don't really see like you said, I don't
Speaker 1: really see them. You know, they got kill to kill
Speaker 1: Harry on one side. They're leading receiver is Jacobe Myers,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, it's they. I don't really see them
Speaker 1: trial testing these corners a lot. So I think the
Speaker 1: matchup is definitely gonna be on the inside with these
Speaker 1: tight ends versus are Weather's gonna be bad, supposed to
Speaker 1: be bad. I think it's gonna be one of those
Speaker 1: one of those missy games. Right, what you're running, I
Speaker 1: think it's going to be and that's why I think
Speaker 1: it's we are going to get turned on. Was being
Speaker 1: interceptions or cost fumbles. I think it's going to be
Speaker 1: another game. It's gonna be a slopp again. We might
Speaker 1: give one up, but I think we're gonna get more
Speaker 1: than they do. That's true, that's true. What you what
Speaker 1: you're looking up? I'm I'm trying to actually get something
Speaker 1: done here and Chris Beam and I are having a
Speaker 1: little off air conversation here, So trying to get to
Speaker 1: get something done here. I'm kind of a little off. Well,
Speaker 1: I never heard somebody go to not go to Alabama?
Speaker 1: Who rolled tide Alabama? And we didn't made anything back
Speaker 1: since since we had time for that, we gotta take
Speaker 1: another break. Then we don't we break for the last segment.
Speaker 1: If I was evil, I brought up here with a
Speaker 1: Kentucky shirt on. I didn't say anything yesterday none at all. Man,

Speaker 1: this before, as you want to sit around here poop poop,
Speaker 1: But this is this is all a deflection. It's a deflection.
Speaker 1: Who deflected? Who else you a fan of? We gotta
Speaker 1: take another deflecting. We weigh over. Maybe Mark Stoops's coach

Speaker 1: Rocketberry Churches in the building, the Ultimate surpyber Danny mccraig.
Speaker 1: He is here. They're both undrafted free agent Cowboys safeties
Speaker 1: former players. I'm knew he scrugs just a reporter for
Speaker 1: the for you know, you say Emmy Awards when he
Speaker 1: did in the award winning how they think we made
Speaker 1: the squad back then? I was thinking about that the
Speaker 1: other day, like how did we make that squad? Man? Well,
Speaker 1: because we had that, We had a lot of sages
Speaker 1: and you all looked at you all looked up to
Speaker 1: Orlando scan Dricks. He said, I'll tell you. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why we made the squad because sometimes you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta get lucky. Okay, I remember. So we came in.
Speaker 1: It was me, you a quasi, and then they had
Speaker 1: Pat Watkins. They had Mike Hamlin, and then then Ken
Speaker 1: Mike Hamling. They had Mike Ken Hamiley wasn't he was gone,
Speaker 1: but they had Alan Ball didn't had drill sense. The
Speaker 1: ball Quasi was hurt so he could not participate in
Speaker 1: any other rookie stuff. Um. Pat Watkins ended up hurting
Speaker 1: this growing or having like a knee issue or something,
Speaker 1: so he was out. Mike Hamlin ended up getting a
Speaker 1: concussion during preseason after so me and Barry went through
Speaker 1: rookie mini camp and training camp as the only two
Speaker 1: rookie say Halloween, So we got all the reps and
Speaker 1: then those injuries started happening during training camp, and it
Speaker 1: was like we were getting more reps in the games
Speaker 1: as well, so we got to be seen more. Of
Speaker 1: course we were cheaper because we were undrafted free agents
Speaker 1: that we were playing on Ricky dials. So really all
Speaker 1: the chips just fell in in the correct place. Goes
Speaker 1: back to that saying Parcels had when he was here,
Speaker 1: you don't want to leave the huddle because you don't
Speaker 1: know who's coming. I'm just glad I didn't wear twenty seven. Man,
Speaker 1: that's an unlucky number. Man, Quasi Days got up out
Speaker 1: of there, and look what happened at six picks. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm telling get about that twenty seven. See if you
Speaker 1: can land Will McClay for us this week. Okay, I'll
Speaker 1: get him a ring, because I really want to go
Speaker 1: into starting to look at what the Cowboys have done
Speaker 1: these past two drafts combined, and you start to look
Speaker 1: at the starting players and the contributors. Uh, this is
Speaker 1: I mean, this is pretty impressive when you start. Past
Speaker 1: two have been good. I mean I will say that
Speaker 1: watching Osa Diggy Wooza upfront, I mean, what he's done,
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, what he's been able to do, you're watching
Speaker 1: jibro Cox come in and make some plays. You're seeing
Speaker 1: um Ceedee Lamb continue to improve. Treyvon Diggs is playing
Speaker 1: next level. Neville Gallimore was the guy that they were
Speaker 1: expecting big things from. You start to look at just
Speaker 1: what they've done the past two seasons to plug in
Speaker 1: some holes here and to make it work. A lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of teams are drafted. How many of
Speaker 1: them are making it work and making it stick with
Speaker 1: their program? So if you can get Will in here,
Speaker 1: I'd love to try to go over some of that.
Speaker 1: How how crazy is it right to be in the
Speaker 1: NFL locker room and have what I see as a
Speaker 1: rookie be the leader in your defensive locker room? Yeah,
Speaker 1: without a doubt. Like I think Michael Parsons has shown
Speaker 1: by his play that he can be followed by the
Speaker 1: rest like play like me, and that's the type of
Speaker 1: guy you want. D Where was that type of guy?
Speaker 1: He would he wasn't gonna get you a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of ride, ride and all this. But you look at
Speaker 1: him and he said, hey, man, play like me. Follow
Speaker 1: me out there, and if you play like me, then
Speaker 1: our defense is gonna be great. And Michael Parsons is
Speaker 1: that guy. I was like all on uh Kean O'Neill
Speaker 1: and then maybe Tank and Michael Parsons has emerged as
Speaker 1: the leader of the defense from from what we can
Speaker 1: see outside looking in it. Just the energy he's bringing
Speaker 1: to it right now. I mean, every every time you
Speaker 1: go out there on a practice or again, you see
Speaker 1: this guy just hype. He just loves to play football.
Speaker 1: And like I said, he reminded me at the brand backers.
Speaker 1: They're just his competitiveness just to go out there and
Speaker 1: he doesn't matter if he's that linebacker, defensive and wherever
Speaker 1: you want to put him, the guy's gonna scrap and
Speaker 1: call to try to be the best he can be.
Speaker 1: And that's what you Once you got those type of
Speaker 1: guys in the building, the rest can be history. Man,
Speaker 1: you can follow me. They said they got a dog,
Speaker 1: said yeah, right, kind of guy that said they got
Speaker 1: a dog and he's he's performing it. Let's go. Let's
Speaker 1: remember now draft like they're a whole lot of cowboy
Speaker 1: fans on social media, not happy luding me and trade
Speaker 1: it down. All you trade in the division, you trade
Speaker 1: it down. And then they took this receiver. Now we
Speaker 1: gotta worry about this receive. So there was a whole
Speaker 1: lot going on there and also another reasone to bring
Speaker 1: him up. Because I was listening to the um My
Speaker 1: Boys in NBC Washington. They do a podcast JP, Finley
Speaker 1: and Mitch and if Pete. They do this podcast every
Speaker 1: every week on Washington Football. Man. They you talk about
Speaker 1: people mad. They are mad at the team. Apparently it
Speaker 1: was a hail Mary that James connected one and the
Speaker 1: in the dB actually said to get Yeah, we weren't
Speaker 1: prepared for that. See, that's the type of thing you
Speaker 1: can't make those statements we were That's like a dance
Speaker 1: one Wood talking about and he was a nants on
Speaker 1: Wood speaking of that was the safety percent all the
Speaker 1: time that you come on and you can't do that.
Speaker 1: So they're asking William Jackson, one of the corners. I said, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what's the probably, man, I'm just doing these
Speaker 1: coaches asked me to do. And so apparently they're telling
Speaker 1: him play with your feet. He's like, I play with
Speaker 1: my hands, but I'm gonna do what they want me
Speaker 1: to do. So there is some dissension on the defense.
Speaker 1: People are upset. John Allen is sitting around here getting
Speaker 1: on guys and getting on coaches, and so it's a
Speaker 1: thing of just we're hearing our cowboy bubble. But when
Speaker 1: you start just trying to check out what's going on
Speaker 1: other people and just seeing the unhappiness in Washington and
Speaker 1: then Taylor Heineke, they've done him. He was inaccurate. They
Speaker 1: were just done. And their whole thing was, Hey, look
Speaker 1: at what the Saints did. This was a winnable football game.
Speaker 1: We just didn't play well up there, that's what they're saying.
Speaker 1: And so that once again, it makes me appreciate what
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy is doing here. You don't see any of
Speaker 1: these issues with his football team that as I kind
Speaker 1: of look around in the league and you're seeing with
Speaker 1: other folks this year that was us. Last year was
Speaker 1: like everything you just explained was us days ago. And
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones today on one to five three the fan
Speaker 1: of his radio show, Jerry spoke about, Hey, last year,
Speaker 1: a lot of the advantages you're supposed to get as
Speaker 1: a head coach, Mike didn't have. So he has defended
Speaker 1: him throughout the process that hey, I'm gonna give him
Speaker 1: a mulligan. Last year were just so many things that
Speaker 1: just worked against us. And you know, I got to
Speaker 1: give Jerry credit because he's so far Jerry has been
Speaker 1: right about Hey, he's a good football coach. Last year
Speaker 1: was bad. We made our corrections. We're moving forward. Let's
Speaker 1: judge him on now and right now, judging Mike on
Speaker 1: what he's doing right now. Yes, And you guys know,
Speaker 1: because you guys were with the Cowboys, there's a whole
Speaker 1: lot of hype around him every year when you think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are gonna be good, well in DC, people
Speaker 1: were around in their media were pumping him up. He
Speaker 1: may well, the division is gonna be good, gonna have
Speaker 1: the best defense out. They got Ryan Fitzpatrick. And there
Speaker 1: were two things that stood out to me. One is,
Speaker 1: how long have we seen Ryan? But fifteen years of
Speaker 1: seeing Ryan Fitzpatrick. But now you think he's gonna be
Speaker 1: that is I think it was more of like what
Speaker 1: they need, like we don't need much. The guy who
Speaker 1: never gets it done, the guy who always wrecks the
Speaker 1: car turned forward. Now you say he's gonna win. I
Speaker 1: didn't get by. And then the other thing was you
Speaker 1: check Ron Rivera's history. They've had a lot of years
Speaker 1: where the Carolina pants were good. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: it wasn't like this, right They've had issues and so
Speaker 1: right now there's a lot going on over there in
Speaker 1: Washington that's a problem. And you already know where New
Speaker 1: York and Philly are. Okay, these these are not contenders
Speaker 1: for the East at all. And the way the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are playing, what you're seeing here, they're gonna have the opportunity,
Speaker 1: I think, to possibly win this division by two to
Speaker 1: three football games. They're gonna run away with it. Say,
Speaker 1: I'm just glad Nolan is out there, okay, because you
Speaker 1: can see there's something that affected this team negatively throughout
Speaker 1: the last season. No matter what happened with the injury
Speaker 1: and all that, something something was ruining the team. And
Speaker 1: you saw all the noise coming off the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the football, which obviously was affecting the team as
Speaker 1: a whole. Because the only change this year is the
Speaker 1: defense and the coaches. A lot of positivity going on
Speaker 1: right now, the Cowboys, a lot of positivity. And also
Speaker 1: just the Baker Mayfield wife tweet, the right thing I
Speaker 1: think about when things get bad, how family members jump
Speaker 1: in here. The Brown's loss, Baker Mayfield wife sends this
Speaker 1: out on social media for all you quote unquote fans
Speaker 1: who are blaming yesterday's lost solely on Baker. Wake up.
Speaker 1: It was one hell of a game. That game could
Speaker 1: have gone either way. He left it all on the field.
Speaker 1: You truly don't know what you have. I have watched
Speaker 1: him give his all and change the entire culture in Cleveland,
Speaker 1: yet he gets so little credit for it. He never
Speaker 1: asks for recognition and continues to carry the weight day
Speaker 1: in day out despite the hate. If you're a true fan,
Speaker 1: support our guys Baker and everyone else. The hate does
Speaker 1: nothing for them. Sincerely, Mama Mayfield, that's what he's at.
Speaker 1: Leave my son alone. That's wife bent Gron's wife back
Speaker 1: in the day, killing Tannahill and all that. Yeah yeah, yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: hate to see ye hate to see it. Well she's
Speaker 1: not killing, she's just killing the fan. Yeah yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: But you know, just stay out of it. It makes
Speaker 1: it worse because now we're talking about it. Bankam, he
Speaker 1: go home. He's a professional player, he'd been playing football
Speaker 1: for a long time. This ain't the first time I hurt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So what are you doing? Ye?
Speaker 1: And that? So once again, you see these things like this.
Speaker 1: None of this is going on in the Cowboys, and
Speaker 1: we have seen it go on before in the Cowboys
Speaker 1: locker room where Wise gotten the fall social media and
Speaker 1: told told fans to go eat this and that. And
Speaker 1: you know we're seeing some negative things here. So when
Speaker 1: you covers up that sht of thing, well, you know what,
Speaker 1: right now, let's just hope they continue to keep on
Speaker 1: covering up things they get ready to face a two
Speaker 1: and three New England squad, which the Cowboys are favored by.
Speaker 1: You talked about inclement weather. That always concerns me because
Speaker 1: that plays in the Bill Belichick because he knows how
Speaker 1: to he knows how to use it. Up there in Foxborough,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buckets whites at this
Speaker 1: year Barry Church real quick though, before we get it
Speaker 1: back at him. I know you saw what Herbert did, right.
Speaker 1: I know y'all saw what Herbert and y'all was out
Speaker 1: here talking about Burrow better. First of all, Burrow, y'all
Speaker 1: see what happened on Burrow had his team in position
Speaker 1: to beat the Green Bay Packers. They missed the field goal.
Speaker 1: Did the man win the game? Asked my guy asked
Speaker 1: my guy respect him, and I said better quarterback Again,
Speaker 1: I asked it better this weekend's game. Better quarterback Burrow
Speaker 1: or Herbert? He says Herbert. Believe I told you that
Speaker 1: that last week. He has a better cast around him.
Speaker 1: He does Mike Williams and Crazy and we've talked about that.
Speaker 1: I don't think he has a good coach. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: The offensive line is horrendous. It was on the hospital
Speaker 1: he got knocked out the game. They had to go
Speaker 1: to the house. Life already got you got your nique
Speaker 1: killed last year and they still hadn't improved this thing.
Speaker 1: They out here trying to start cowboy cast offs. They
Speaker 1: seeing Philo. That sounds like a personal problem. Why what
Speaker 1: do they do? Just what the charger do? Hey man,
Speaker 1: just here's the left hat. But this is the same
Speaker 1: thing we said about that he left the field with
Speaker 1: who went to win? Right there? He did, and it's
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He going against Baker Mayfield saying Herbert's that guy.
Speaker 1: He's all right, it's all right, got her wet, we
Speaker 1: gotta we got we gotta go, we gotta go. Danny,
