The following He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys flowing out of the backfield. Next, floating down the sidelines, He's hanging with the Boys, presented by Windstuff Where Flavor Gets its Wings. Now your hosts, Jesse Holly, Kurt Daniels, and Nate Newton, It's hump du hump Day, Wendesday to Live. Look at the Totedo Championship Plaza outside in front of the Ford Center.
On this frosty It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas hump Day as we embark on what was at one point in time, maybe over the last six for seven weeks dubed to be one of the games of the year, Cowboys taking on the Philadelphia Eagles this Saturday at at and T Stadium. This segment brought to you by Wingstop Where Flavor Gets its Wings. Gentlemen, he is Kurt Daniels, that is Nate Newton. I am Jesse Hie. You can join us today together we are hanging with
the boys. The sports talk equivalent of Braille. People feel us when we speak. I too, am grateful that I can join today. I misjudged the holiday traffic. You know, I thought, like everybody's out of school is gonna be But then you get because I'm coming from the south, so then you get caught up in that mall traffic. It's two malls between where I'm at and where the Star is, and I got caught twice in mall traffic. And so I was here, I think there's three three
The one up here isn't there? Coming up the thousand, I'm come up tollway right, So it's like, what's that the Galerria? Yeah, there's the Galeria. Then there's what's up not willow Ben, a little been something creek, I don't know. Yeah, the one in plane now yeah yeah that one, and then there's another one. Yeah, I want up here right here. Oh yeah, but that's that's but that's kind of like that's like you gotta kind of go over. Yah. Yeah,
I know, I'm talking about how much. Yeah, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, got you. But I was I was a good white minute five five minute late. You know, you said five minutes, and you're definitely five minutes. It was white. It was a white five minutes. I am I am, there's we've been through this before. There's a white five minutes, and there's a black five minutes, A white five minutes. It's four fifty nine on the clock, a black five minutes. I
mean I just left the house. So at anytime a black person tells you, hey, man, I'm five minutes away. Ay man, I'm ten minutes away, put thirty on that. I'm telling you, put put at least twenty five on that that five minutes. If a white printing tells you, hey, I'm five minutes away, just know that they're walking through that door in five minutes. My friends used to say, I wasn't late till I was ten minutes later than
I was supposed to be. So what happens? All right, Nate, Nate's you get over there, busy over there studying that. You know what's funny? And we love we love Nate for Nate like that is the that is the the gift of being able to say that you are friends with and work with Nate because you get to know him as him and we love him for that. Yes, And the thing that we love about Nate is we got a forty five minutes show and it goes by quick, I mean it. I mean, oh, we look at you
like dang, we've already done. We thought someone. And then there's what is that twenty four hours and fifteen minutes, twenty three fifteen to the rest of the day. Our good buddy, Nate decide to watch film forty five minutes into this show. So, Nate, what you got for us, brother? Cowboys offense defense, Philadelphia offense defense. We're covering all today. Cowboys are on the field practicing right now. You got the laptop up. What you got for us, brother, is
there is our offense versus their defense. That's yeah, the offense first, Yeah, yeah, I do it. On the football field. Eleven and eleven. Brandon Graham has eight point five sacks. Javonne Hargrave has ten sacks. Josh Weaz has nine point five sacks. Hassan Reddick has twelve sacks. I'm just sending an alert out there right now. I'm sending anotherer that is forty sacks screaming to the practice. That is forty sacks out of fifty five. They're tied with the Cowboys.
Please do meal, favorite coach Filman, Please let's not rotate offensive lineman. This week. That's don't play that. I've been watching film. They cannot only beat you man on man, but they're good at running games. Let's not play that game this week. And that's why I was looking at the film and I was trying to go back even to the one, the one loss, versus watching. That's why I was acting like I was sold into a computer. Wal act right, but just glad to have you here.
How us your dentals and mentals? Because how is your brother? This? This thing ain't gonna be nice this week? So what scares you more? The Philly defensive line? We know who you just named off all those guys, or maybe the probably the best offensive line in the league, two of the best tackles. Maybe you're talking about their offensive line. There are beast and beast Man and Pro Football Focus.
Now you take that whatever however you want to take it right, right, You want to take it right because some people that's bible, some people that's yeah, that's a lie, right, But Pro Football Focus has the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line as the number one offensive line in all of football. And the best kept secret that's not a secret to all football players is that center of theirs. Yeah, he's a beast. He's reinvented himself. Six years ago he was
the number one center. Then he kind of he's ranked pro football hasn't ranked number one. I tell people this is the easiest game to break down because they old school and every form except the pure passing quarterback, but everywhere else they're old school. Their corners can cover the safetiest play how they were up and back. Their defensive line get out to you and that team that we saw in the first four or five games. You can just run. Now you're not just gonna run anywhere. You
won't any time. You won't. And they know how to get off the field if they need a play, and that's what defense is about. Now let's give up three and not seven, specially in critical situations. They know how to get off the field. Jets, they know how to get off the field. And like I said, what you can, you can paint it however you want. They've had more games of where like coach McCarthy said, I need to see a strain, they don't had more strained any games.
They don't man had more games that they just beat folks up. They don't have games where they've been physical They've had games where they've outscored people and they, unlike us, they have won the majority of them. Yeah, what do you where do you broch? Which side of that line? To me, it's the offensive line because when you're looking at it, their offensive line being the number one offensive
line in the league. And and you go back and you look at the game when we played them, they were kind of handling this up front until what's their right tackle them. I'm drawing a blank in this right here, Lane Johnson. Lane Johnson had went out with the concussion, and then you kind of saw Mica and companies start getting um, you know, start getting in and getting in
the back filling creating some pressure. But where they're strong at right now, and that's a lot of areas for this football team, Like when you look at Philly and it's not us like kissing Philly's butter, bowing down the Philly But when you look at Philly on offense and in defense and the special teams, they are solid. Yeah, they're They're a solid bunch. And I talked about this for the last couple of weeks about in December, you want to see your team in two places. You want
to see two things happening to your football team. You want to see them peaking and you want to see your team off the injury report. Now, outside of the quarterback, which is by far the most important position on the field, this team is either healthy or getting guys back. They just got back there tight they're tight end. Dallas got it from injury, so they're getting healthy. They're they're getting guys back of significance that are coming back to their
football team. And for the Cowboys, their defense is ailing. Michael Parson will miss his second day of practice today due to an illness. Now, I don't know if that's flu or COVID or whatever it is, but you know, I even said on Twitter, that's a gift and a curse because from Micah, you know, the curses that his body now has to fight this whatever this bug is, whatever this his amuse system is battling this thing. The gift is he's getting the rest that he actually probably needs.
He needs some rest. But I don't you know, I'm no doctors. I don't know how that all. You know, it's because it's a muse system's fighting this bug off. It's taking away from the recovery portion of it. And vice versa. But him not practicing and maybe giving some other guys some opportunity to get some reps in this week. Uh could be key, but I know getting him the rest that he needs because he's wore down. He's he said it verbally and you see it physically on the
football field. So for me, it's the it's the offensive line for the Philadelphia even because they're solid, tips dips, some busting on them hills. Explain when you when your offensive tackle and I just leave a piece and you chip him. Yeah, Oh, I am the tight end and the tackle and we're gonna deal on him, and you know what, and then we run up here and thank you free. We're gonna be gonna trap your red in
that hill. And before and when you have to play on average thirty two minutes a game as a defense, it will wear on you. So well, now you see the results we are well, we won't be averaging thirty two minutes a game because we'll get into our first break of the show. Get a lot of hells. I like hips. I like them hips. I like yeah, I like me some hips. Now, ain't nothing roll a little I'm saying little hips around Christmas Mary, Mary Christians. There
you go, Kurt, Mary Christmas on hips. All right, we're gonna take our first break of the show. When we come back, we're gonna keep breaking this thing down. Offense defense, Cowboys Eagles. We're gonna look at this thing to both sides. What are some things that Cowboys can do to give themselves a realistic chance to win this football game? Nate, Kurt, We're gonna talk about that on the other side of this break. This is hanging with the boys. We'll be
right back. Oh, I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Blockchain dot com is one of the most trusted ways to buy, sell, and trade crypto.

Welcome back to hanging with the boys. On this merry
Christmas week. As we're heading into the Saturday showdown Philadelphia Eagles your Dallas Cowboys at and T Stadium, it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. And on Christmas, we like to receive gifts. And the best gifts in football are the gifts of winning. Yes, that is the best gift. That is actually the only gift that you want to open each and every week during the National Football League season.
And the Cowboys, whether Jalen hurts because it's talk with the shoulder spray that he has that he may not play in this football game, and you know there's talks about, well, the Cowboys, you've kind of already sewn up the fifth seed. A lot has to happen for you to fall out of that position. Like the Eagles have to lose out, you have to win out. Another team have to lose a game for you to kind of move up and
down that situation. A lot of what you are, a lot of what your future is is kind of really already set. Right. It's almost you're the fifth seed. You'll be headed South at some point in time in the playoffs, whether that's Atlanta, whether that's Tampa Bay, whether that's New Orleans, or whether that's Carolina. However the NFC South plays out. But when you look at this football game, Kurt, is this one of those games despite your being in the fifth feed, whether or not Jalen Hurst plays or not,
is this game? Does this game still hold the significant it's that it did prior to the Jacksonville injury. Prior to the Jalen Hurst injury. Does it still hold that same hum and they told her there this hand on his forehead, He's just I'm waiting on you man. Yes, it still holds that importance. I think the way that the Cowboys have played these last three games, the loss this past Sunday. They need to come out and show that they are still contenders in this even without Jalen
hurtss is a tough team. They can't got plenty of Michael Parses has already told y'all, ain't Jalen. It's the rest of the team. It's the system. It's the rest of the team. So he's just a piece to the puzzle. It may not carry the same weight anymore with the Eagles, like they may want to rest Hurts for this game. They may, you know, just to not show what he can do. Who knows. But for the Cowboys it's still it still means a lot. And this segment is brought

Now, do you know Michael came out and said the other this is a system, right,
He's not jailing is a system. And if jailing doesn't go, you have now Gardner Minshew will be the backup quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. And to your point, Kurt, you know, winning is always what you want to do. You always want to have that feeling of winning. And who knows, you may have to see this Philadelphia team for the third time in the playoffs if things shake out to
be that way. So if you come into this game and you lose to a guy like Gardner Minshew, because that other the other pieces of this team is still significantly good, does that have a negative effect on your football team? Can you see the thing spiraling out of control a little bit? Because then now even on a even more short week, you got Thursday night football at Tennessee,
who are fighting for their lives, their playoff lives. Yeah, it could definitely have that snowball effect because guys are banged up, they're sore, they're tired, they're They've got a big statement here they want to make and if they can't make it, I mean, the Eagles aren't to me, are you know? Are they really worried about Dallas? Now? They're looking they've got Super Bowl aspirations, they're looking ahead where cowboys. They're here now is Philly. They need to
prove something this week. I think Nate wanting to win a game and actually winning a football game are two very, very very different things. I want a six pack, really do. I want a six pack back, But me actually getting a six pack at this point in time in my trash life probably not gonna happen, unless unless Derekot pay me my money, that gonna get the surgery. But wanting to win and actually winning they are two completely different things.
The Cowboys as a whole offensive coordinator defensive coordinatory they had to have a come to Jesus meeting this week after the performance in Jacksonville against the Jaguars last week, giving up a seventeen point lead, giving up five hundred total yards of offense, and then allowing uh, you know those last couple of players offensively the drop on third down, the sorry the hail Mary kind of play on third down, and then the the you know the other drop on
the other third down four that led to the interception for the game winning interception. What does let me say this, who does who has to come out and show self to be worthy of the coordinator position this week? More? No, no, no, no, no, no no no no no no all right, no no, shut up. Every every able body, from the head coach to the coordinators, to the players, to the position coach. Everybody has to come out and finally and hopefully do their job. We have not, and I'm gonna keep preaching it.
Don't I don't care. I know I'm right. We have not for the last four weeks played a solid, strong football game. The errors we have made has been silly and un called for. The things we've done don't make no sense. We have to come out know who our offensive line is, know who our receivers are. The only thing that is one hundred percent sure, and it's two of those. We know Dak is the quarterback, and when we know Tony and zekis the running backs. Everything else
has just been spinning around. Everything else has been maybe so okay, all right, you look at Philly. I know who didn't know Umber one receiver is. I know who they number two receiver is. I know who they running back is. We know what and who the offensive line is. When you preach that we're a team that what you give us we will aggressively take, we have not been very good at that. We we refuse to believe that Tony Pollard is our best player whoa. We refuse to
believe that Tony Pollard is our best player. This is one thing I am jess. I can joke, I can job, I can take a joke, I can take a job. But when it comes to only one thing, I've been taught this over my years. Winning is the only the ordering that covers all And as long as they were winning, as long as you was throwing the interceptions, as long as we was having all sides, but we were winning,
I could come in and find a way. But when you're when you lose because of all these bad habits and bad things, and then you're gonna player to play a team that tends to don't show those bad habits. We have to start showing people who we are if we are that all those people. And so I'm sitting here, I'm listening, I'm trying to gather it all up. What has told you that the Cowboys are ready? And we had this discussion six weeks ago. You're like, I'm waiting
on the playoffs. I'm like, I'm waiting on us to beat a team of equal talent. Are better? This team has equal talent to us, that's with or without their quarterback. They are equal. This is a chance to go out and beat a team that has equal talent, and I know their coaching staff is equal to ours. So let's see some great coaching moves. Let's see some great players do some things. That's what I'm waiting on. What do
you what do you think? Did you? I don't know if you saw Jarron Curses quote, but he sets up quote, loved it. He kind of called out some teammates, saying not coming into the game with that edge is a defensive you know, not having that complete hunger that was shown earlier this year. Um. He also said, you know, if you've been giving it everything, you know if you're not. It sounds like at least he believes in that locker rooms,
some of those guys aren't fully committed. Man. The one thing I'll say about j Ron Curse is this has been a guy who's he's been consistent. I remember having him on the show last year. You said, I love this dude, he said, you know, and they said, I love a dude who can talk in an interview, calm, cool and collective and then be a crazy man on the football field. And that's that's who j Ron Curse says, calm, cool and collective, but a dog on the football field.
But you know, you can tell that he has a voice in that locker room. Um and and and guys like j Ron Curse are There's two ways that you're you're allowed allowed to have a voice like that in
the locker room. You're either one a damn good player like and I mean elite player, or two you have shown improven that you are one of the people who practice what you preach, showing up to film, being prepared, doing all of the little things throughout the week to get yourself ready for Sunday, and then that showing proved to be right on Sunday. And I think while Jay Rod's not at the elite level, I think he's the second part of that. I think he's the dude who's
there on time at every meeting. What is notebook, you know, not late, not missing you know, treatments, you know, not missing workouts, not taking days off at practice, not loafing that practice and that type of stuff. Right there he talks about there's guys that know who's giving it there everything when you sit in those meeting rooms and you're watching film. The old famous quote is the eyeing the sky. Don't lie. You gotta sit in the room now with men who are depending on you to do what you
said that you would do. And when you when you're looking at that, when you add that to the fact that we lost to a team that we probably shouldn't have lost to, guys start looking around and start saying you start getting that side out, like all right now, because what's not gonna happen is because I'm hurt. My body hurt, everything hurts. I'm out here giving everything, I'm missing my family, I'm committing everything to this and uh, you're cutting out of here a little bit too early
for me. Bro, you know what You're like, Hey, you hurt, but I don't see you in that training room getting getting treatment, you know, So don't tell me you hurt and you ain't getting treatment. Don't don't tell me that you really sold in and bought into what we're doing. In when we stayed to watch a little bit of extra film, all we see from you with the smoke leaving off your butt from running out the door so fast.
So you start getting that and look from players in the locker room when things going a little bit bad, Well, guys, actually confront Yes, some guys will, some guys won't. I mean, it's just about your nature, you know. And I think jay Ron has that nature. I think jay Ron has a nature of and bro like nah man like cut cut the ball, cut the ball, And some guys will just be like, you know, it's not I'm not into
the altercation. I'm not into the confrontation type thing. And I was like, you know, I'll just continue to do my job and you know whatever whatever and hope and hope and hope that he does or hope right, or hope that that micro or someone the other guy that stepped up and say something like that. But you know that that is that is a realistic thing. And when you hear comments like that from jay Ron Curse, soft
spoken kind of guy. So when he speaks, pay attention to when guys like around Kurse speak because they're not just talking like me, just to put a words out together. They're talking with the purpose and and it's it's directed to someone or or somebody's specifically. Let't they say this man, this this is a game where the big dogs hunt. This is a game where the players play. If it's
something about you that's special, especially this time of the year. Yeah, if it's something about you that's special, it'll come out in this game. It'll come out in this game and that and that's what I'm depending on that, that's what I'm hoping and praying that I see something Yet. So I see something, Kurt, that's special. Okay, we you know, we we done got through the grind and everybody got the book on everybody. Now, if you're special, it'll come out.
If you're not, if you're just another guy, that will come out to well, Nate, we think that you're special. So this is about that too. You in that one classroom, I know, I know about I know you're smiling everybody else. That's why we don't have a lot of y'all in here. Well, how come my bus is not as big as everyone else? Busy smaller bus? Let me let me stop. Stop. They'll call a charls like they're seeing native Maybe. Yeah, all right,
let's go to our last break of the show. When we come back, does the side of the football Is it time for a certain side of the football to step up and take the lead like the other side did for them earlier in the football season. We'll talk about that on the other side of this break is hanging with the boys. Will be right back.

It ended good because
did you call Scott? Scott first Sale called me as we were leaving this show with that beautiful cake you gave me Jess, And I said, man, and I wanted to tell him that, man, it was gonna be cold. I didn't state. I didn't know how to break it to him. So he listened to my message and a message. I said, yeah, man, and man, it's gonna be cold at the State. He said, we ain't going happy. I was so happy. He said, nobody told you. I said, this is the best surprise birthday party. Who just enjoyed
out brom j I was so scared. I was, oh, you told about I was like, I was gonna call church and standbacks. Said, hey, man, won't y'all just say it's too cold? And then I'll back y'all with everything I got. Oh, but go ahead, do y'all love it? Getting nervous for your phone ranging And it's like Scott or is dirk na No, no, no, I don't get nervous. Maybe I'll get as trouble Derek. You one Sometimes I wonder what the calls for. Yeah, I't had a bad one. Yeah,
I'm still your wonder. Yeah. No. When he was one of those guys, Derek called me better be the do some extra show. No what Scott called? Man, I don't know what's coming out of Scott. I told Scott to call your phone. Just listen to the message. That's why I called him. I hope he doesn't pick up. Is you need to listen to his voicemail message because I'm going to change it again. Hey Jess, but sorry to cut you off. Go ahead on no, no, no, you're
you're you know you're you're absolutely fine with that. Man. I just talked about, you know, the cowboys that they're getting ready to head into this game. The defense. The defense is ailing right now. You know it's ailing. Call it what you want the defense, it's alby, you ain't. They need some tussing. They need some castro. They need they need they need a little bit of soft of black drop. They need something. They need your mom's homemade soup.
They need something Daddy needs to do. If yeah, the old hard raw bone hounds and they used to hit the woods man. He'll come out there on the poort, he'll look around, get it, get it something, and they's just run off in him. But went on ran off into your Waltz nest. All the walls hid him, about
a hundred of you king a dog hot. So when he finally came back over an hour later, swollen from running out un the walls, my daddy guy, my granddaddy guy, he warmed up some old grease from chicken from fish shit, I mean, I mean just lard. I mean because black folks, when we get we do chicken a fish, we take that grease and we poured into a can old grease bottom. We sit up right now, right next to these up and he took it, and man, he poured down that.
I said, Grandaddy's gonna kill it out. He said, no, he's gonna take the swelling in the stains. Poured the right down the store. The first Yeah, first dog didn't want it, but he tasted it. It tasted good, and I guess all the baking it all. And man, he put the gulfing it down. Man, But I mean just probably half a gallon. About three days later, my daddy came out, but he didn't didn't run to the walls. Well, look tell you tell your great game, daddy. We got
we got some. We need some of that because because this defense it's down, it's down bad. With the injuries you talk about, you know, big Hankins in the middle. He was kind of getting itself going. Yes, of course, you know about what's happening on the outside with the injury of Anthony Brown and trying to find you know, his replacement. Layton vander Esh will not play in this
game this week due to next shoulder spring. Singer. Let me ask you direct quick like Jess, and I'm for real, Should it be I understand the greatness of players and who players are in his first second team, but should it be this much of a drop off at one corner position? You know, I mean, I mean, yeah, I'm being honest, no question. Yesterday you still got yes, four or five guys back there. Pretty solid most teams. So here's the thing about the National Football League. This is
what I love. You cannot hide, right right, you can't hide. But it's one guy you can't hide. Understand that. So now, these these offensive coordinators are so brilliant, These quarterbacks are so good, these players are so skilled that if I see a weakness, especially when you're talking about that and with the Cowboys, you have to understand what they do defensively. Now, okay, a lot of what they do defensively is cover three. So a lot of what they do single hide safety.
You see j Ron Curson and Donovan Wilson playing a little bit more down towards the box. You know. You know Treyvon Digs, you see him. A lot of this has to come up. He's off the ball, looking inside, looking through the receiver into the quarterback. So now what you have is when you're getting exposed on one side,
it breaks down the core of what you do. So now if I gotta if I have to now give help consistently to that side, that means I may not have that run support that I've had in the past with Donovan Wilson or jay Ron Curse because one safety will be exclusively helping over the top to that side.
My man Malik was always hanging out over that always. Yeah, And so teams will begin to set up and run things and say, okay, well, I'll take this guy over here, and I'll sacrifice at times my number one on this side and then do something else in the slot because I know I'll have this portion of the field open because that safety is hanging out somewhere else. Talk about
Dallas Gallar coming back into this football game this weekend. Now, if my safety, who's my lafe line of defense is hedging over over top of whether that's Nashan right or or Kelvin Joseph or Deron Bland or whatever you want to put out there, Chef few Old or Mullins. Now I got Dallas Godda working on that linebacker of safety with a bunch of the middle of the feel wide open. He missed the can't it can't be bar. It cannot be bar. So no, not again. Here's how you get
broken down because who does it have to be? It has to be Curse. It's Curse all right now, I'm not now. Curse has done a fantastic job all year long with covering these guys. But again, you're asking him to be perfect. Now you're asking him to be perfect against a guy like Dallas Goddar, who is a is above average tight end. Would you risk bringing in Jabril Cox? He's just kind of a better coverage linebacker is he's
just too young? The problem and here's the problem, because people would ask me all about this Candy the eye candy and Jabril Cox when he got when he was drafted out of NSU, his his achilles heel was the running game. He's big, he's fast, he's long, he can cover anybody. But what is he gonna do when they because they ain't gonna pas the ball fifty times? What are you gonna do when either Minshew or her some
and they do that right there? And that my all saying is coming at you and all those guys are coming. Can Jabril Cox get off the blocks? And now you have to take Jabril Cox and Daman Clark, two young players who kind of sometimes struggle in their their vision, locking in on their keys when guards are pulling, when tackles are pulling. One am I seeing? Am I getting caught up in the wash. All those things now taken
to account. And that's what I mean by this defense by question to both of you, No, sir, you did not answer my question. And until you answer, you you camouflaged and I candid us to death. Why is it one guy that, as you agree her, that is a corner back messing up our whole defense because of the scheme that they run. When you run a cover three scheme, you're depending upon your corners to be solid in what
they do. That allows you to create that allows you to leave more guys at the line of scrimmage to one stop the different what helps you gotta go to cover two? And what is that mainly is cover two? Cover two means now you lose your run support because you're gonna have two safeties deep, two corners playing the flats too over top of them, splitting the field. So now what does that mean? You cannot commit that extra guy to the box. Light boxes gets a team who
if jailer hurts plays, I needed that support. I need the support, and it's hard to get that support. It's hard to get that support when he's coming from fifteen yards deep. Hankins out. So that that is how a guy, one guy is breaking down what you do. I understand, I understand. I'm gonna charge out ninety now to come to the school. I understand big time players make big time plays. I understand average guys make average get but we can't have that. And what I'm saying, we can't
have that much of a draw. But the thing is, Nate is is that And this is why it hurts so bad, because at that quarterback spot, you're not giving up four or five yards, six seven yards, ain't nine yards. You're giving up the booty. Yeah, you giving up the booty. Well, we started with chips dips, and you ended with giving up the booty. I just don't under they're geting up. They're giving up touchdowns and big plays and passing affairs just for twenty thirty forty yards. You're giving up the booty.
And that's what makes it so difficult when that player goes out and see this is this is and that's why that afth Brown from town for Florida. You know, like I said, I'll tell people, I would tell him, hey, yeah, he ain't the best, but I promise you what's behind him maybe a little bit worse. And I was saying it not knowing Joseph, Now I know and what I'm
saying not a little bit. And Brodes said, you know, you know, I give him his credit, bro to say, he has to he's better when he's up on the guy when you asked him to play that cover three and he's got to think a little bit more. You can see it in his decision making. But here's the thing, when you when you asked a guy like Anthony Brown, who who at times technically his technique gets a little
bit off. When you're in that press against an A Da Brown, a Devonte Devantage Smith against Kuez Watkins, if you miss that bump, if you miss that redirect, if it ain't physical enough, pull them throngs on down, Christmas very fast, man, where you at, man, God something, we gotta get up out of here and Nate, but pull them things on down, brother, Okay, all right, you gotta and this is the price that you have to pay. Wow. So now they're having tryouts and all that kind of
good stuff. But the question I was going to ask, you have a tried? How you ain't hitting nobody in five weeks? How you have a tried you ain't coming somebody? How do you have a tried? Come on, man, The things we can tell our media and they and they
run with is crazy to me. The question I was trying to get to, maybe we'll pick up with this tomorrow, is does the cow does the Cowboys offense now need to come back and pay the favor back to the Cowboys defense who held them down the five weeks that Dak Prescott was out and they won some football games for them with the defense ailing. Is this a place now we're Dak and Zeke and Tony and CD and company have to go? Ain't big dogs? We know, y'all,
We know we got y'all. We got y'all. Yeah, we we we we we're gonna get been stung up about the Watson. We know we're gonna be We're gonna be that at large. We're gonna pull down y'all throat till y'all get right. So we'll see. We'll talk more about that tomorrow. Hey, listen, it's a great hump day. Don't give up. Maybe just stay imn call from Derry you ain't you always worried it won't be a merry Christmas over Jesse? All right, man, Nate was Christen the back
Audi Jazz bro him to everybody back home. We thank you so much, man, Marry Christmas. Bardy sacks By for Diva's line. We got one more show tomorrow before the big dads. I am Jesse, hain't Molly. Maybe I may, Maybe he'll be here here I am. I see how they man. This is hanging with the boys we got. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
