All right, fellas, that's start over. It was

there were so much bad things that happened. Our man James Johnson says, Chris and William need a night on the town because I got a fool with us all

the time. You have no idea, all right. So what I was trying to say earlier before I even screwed this point up and then the roomba broke out into at is about ten weeks ago, I mentioned that Michael Parsons might be which I admit I jumped the gun on that and said, Michael Parsons might be in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation as well is defensive Rookie of the Year. It doesn't seem that far fetch. Now, do you guys think he's got a shot at getting both? Jesse,

You've got a shot. He'll be in the conversation for sure. I mean it's gonna be in the talks. And he you know, if he has a couple of strong games, he's last two. I mean he's definitely got to be considering. Yeah, I definitely think he's in consideration. My only concern is it's like the regular MVP voting, Will he and Dig steal vote from one another because they're on the same team and they're in they're both in the conversation that

defensive Player of the year. You know, some some people may lean towards the cornerback, right they talk about a record of eleven interception that hasn't been done in what thirty years, forty years, four decades, And then you know some people might be like, hey, I'm really into the linebacker position, and so that may be something that they look at and say, you know, he's doing stuff that we haven't seen been done since LT So I don't

there He's definitely in consideration. I mean Vegas says that all of the numbers say that he belongs in that consideration. My only concern is there's two concerns. One, will him and Dick still votes from one another or Dig still votes from him? Two A lot of times these voters kind of vote on seniority. Maybe a guy who should

have got it and didn't get it. You know, Aaron Donald has been the one of the last couple of years, and Miles and Garrett and guys like t. J. Watt, who had been perennial guys in that conversation, have been close, and I think maybe they say, well, this Micah Kidd maybe or could be a one hit wonder. Right. We've seen longevity from Miles Garrett with being year in a year out one of the top defensive players, and he couldn't quite get the award, so they may give it

to him because of that. I don't know. But to answer the your question, yes, you will correct then to have that foreshadowing, and you're correct now because I do believe that Michael is in the consideration of become a Defensive Player of the Year. It ain't but him, him and about two other guys. I mean, if the kid come out and dominate either one of these last two games, he's in the top two easily, top three easily. So all that other stuff it sounds good, but that's why

I've never believed in the voters. What you see is what you get. This is the year we're voting on, and he's he's he's a top three player in the league defensively at all positions. So You've never seen nothing since Lawrence Taylor did this, and Lawrence Taylor was the last one to do it. Give the kid, is jest, do if he if he come up with a couple of more sacks that he's the man and he's on

a winning team, He's not on a losing team. That takes the kid from Pittsburgh out of the story, that keeps Aaron Donald in, the story that keeps this kid in, this Cardinal kid. And ain't ain't gonna be no splitting of votes now by the same token, if if if Diggs want this thing back and playing in his favorite and let him get two or three more interceptions, and we may see an upset. So one of these two guys are in the top two, a top three. Man, we have it this year. Don't take it away from

this kid talking about some future stuff. Let's show it again. This dude has dominated the game on all three levels. Give him his jets, due, agreed, Well said Nate Well said, speaking of Parsons, he came out and said, we need to make a statement versus the Cardinals. Do you think I mean we talked about that a little bit earlier this week. Do you think this needs to be a

statement game for the Cowboys. They need to go out and and play show, you know, really show up and prove that they can they can beat a team that's in the playoff hunt and in the super Bowl conversation. For me, go ahead, Kurt, Well, I think in some ways. I mean because obviously last week was total domination, and they've looked really good over these last few weeks. But in reality, they've played some pretty bad teams over that stretch.

So you know, I think, are they are they one of the best in the in the NFL for sure? Do they have that confidence rolling right now? Yes, it

definitely seems like way. But I think to win a game over ten and five team who is a playoff team, who who can uh you know, match you in some ways on both sides of the ball, I think that would make a true statement that yes, this is indeed a team you're gonna have to be a team that could be the number one seed in the in the NFAC for me, and I guess this this is where podcast and sports talk shows have their kind of you know, hypocrisy.

Because I didn't look for a dominating game against the Washington football team because I expected you should have dominated the Washington football team. But when you play tougher competition, this is in essence playoff football, and for me, the win, however it comes about, to me, is more important than games like this. Now, if you go out and you dominate a team, I'm not what you did against Washington that that that's not an every week occurrence like that.

This ain't college football. That doesn't happen every week. But if you can, if you win in a dominating fashion, I think that's cherry on top. But going out and playing good and winning a football game, to me, in these type of games is just as impressive um as going out and beating the team by three touchdowns. Because this is a good this is a good football team. I know they're in a slump, the Cowboys, the football team,

even though they were in a slump. Uh, And you're gonna face You're gonna face this team or teams like this in a couple of weeks in the playoffs. So dominating If are you talking you know Atlanta or Washington? No, I don't, I don't, I don't. I'm not looking for that. If that happens, that's just more of the get you all giddy. But I think going out playing the solid football game and beating this team and winning the game, to me, is definitely one of uh that would that

would be that would bring joy to my heart. I just believe, jesse Ben, you're on the same pay. Win the game. Win the game so you are stay in position to get the number one seed. Just just win the game. I don't care if it's about one point and a half point. Win the game. Stay in position to get that number one seed. Win because you are good, when because you have won eleven games up until this point, win the game. Yeah, I think for me from a

fans perspective, I'm with you, guys. I think you know, we've played some bad teams and you can only do what you can do, right. You play the games that are on the schedule. You've taken care of business the last four weeks. I think what this game does to me, it lets you know how ready you are for the playoffs, because slump or no slump, the Cardinals are a playoff team. They were fighting up until last week for the number

one last two weeks up for the number one seed. Right, So it's a barometer of you know, I think with the bad teams you played. From a fans perspective, you don't know what this Cowboys team is. Are they better than the bad teams? Absolutely, because they beat the bad teams that have been in front of them. Are they ready to tear through the playoffs? I think this is going to give you a barometer of Hey, this team is no joke, this team means business. But this is

a good Arizona team. I'm with you, guys. I think it's gonna be a tough game. I don't think it's gonna be one of these blowouts. I think it's gonna come down to the last series or two and and like you said, Nate, win the game and then let's go. You know what, what's crazy the playoffs ended to it started today you would be playing the Eagles. How insane is that? Like we wrote them off the season. Can you imagine if you play them the first that would

be their super Bowl? Like they would be So I don't want to play them just because if there wasn't the most minute chance that they win that game, Cowboys fans would not be able to get over that, Like that would be like the worst thing that I don't even think. I don't even think that this is this is the deal. You know, New England for so many years ran the afcast. But if you go back and check the record, even go back and check my record

when we play. When I played with the Cowboys, you beat teams you were supposed to be and everybody told us we hadn't played anybody. The difference I think is, Jesse, check me if I'm wrong here. The difference in this team here is we have the talent defensively, offensively and special teams. The difference in all the teams prior is we have the talent and that's what's gonna put us over the top. I don't care about if we play every team with a losing record, winning record are tied.

You have, for the first time in many years, a playoff defense, a playoff offense, an ability to not hurt yourself on special teams. That is the difference than any other years that we have been doing these broadcasts together. We can say in our hearts, man to man, we have a defense and we have an offense. That is the key difference. That's why I believe records. Whether we play the worst teams in America, we won and we have the teams to go up another level. The thing

we should be acting ourselves. Can these guys step up to the next level and let their talents shine? That is where the coaches have to be at their best so the players can be at their best. That is

what we're talking to the next level. You know what, that's a great point because do you know how long it's been as a Cowboy fan that you've gone into the playoffs going it's always like there's some part of the either the offense or the defense, or the play calling or the coaching or something that's always like, yeah, we can win if we overcome this, Yes we can win.

If this falls exactly right, you can beat any team in the NFL two day if you just go execute and play your game on offense, defense, special teams, and coaching, like you have all the pieces in place. For the first time since I can remember, and I've been here eighteen years, since I've been here, that like, you have the pieces in front of you. You just need to go play your game and nobody can beat you. If you do that, you're not having to overcome other parts

of the team. And I think that's a really great feeling from a fans perspective for once, Jesse, I don't want to hear what you got to say. Hand I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Kurt, I want to I'm sorry. Sorry, shots go ahead, old Kurt, I'm sorry. I talked a bunch of pastor. That's hey. All that noise in the first segment was that room but trying to get up his liad. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to go now it it was it was cleaning up all the crumbs that

Nate left. He was over eating cookies all last night. Sunce right off that belly onto the floor work for the room book. Oh my gosh, he's just so sorry. I apologize, I apologize. Wow, let's get back on track. Can we start over again? Yeah? I take a break and then we'll come back. Get Jesse. In the final segment of the People Show, what it is that I forgot the question?

Kurt, one of the kids must have come back in the house. Yeah, I think Jesse Ham must have fouled your crew by Did you have that over the travel question? Did you have a question when I ruly interrupted you, I don't do you want to? I

don't know? Yeah? Sure, you were talking about how you know, if if the Cowboys can handle up on Arizona, if they beat them by double digits or whatever, would you consider them a better team now than green Bay? Green Bay's number one and a lot of power rankings to the top sea the NFC East or excuse me, NFC overall? Would you consider Dallas a better team now than green Bay? You know? And I got told y'all, fair man, I forget the power rankings. I want the reality. And I

believe this right here. It is easy because I remember playing against Joe Montana and how I was so hyped for our team to play Joe Montana. But when I spoke to some of the devas a player, they were like shaking the head, like, man, we don't want this, So I would like to know how this team feel

because we didn't. We didn't fear no team. The Dallas Cowboys Green Bay would eat up Brett far But it always came down when we got ready to play them forty nine as we're like, wow, let's make sure we have home phil advantage because we won't them at the crib. And just how did y'all feel with y'all played bro? That's not we felt. Um. I mean when I when I was there, I think, who do we play? We played Philly in the playoffs? I believe, so it was

you know it was Philly. We I never saw. I didn't see the likes of a of an Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs or whoever the quarterback was. That was you know hot at that particular time when when I was with you know, the Cowboys and our and our I think are alone. We had one playoff uh maybe one two, maybe one or two. I forget, I forget who it was. But I mean again, back in those times,

it was all right the NFC. You did it kind of went through a little bit of Green Bay, a little bit of New Orleans, and you know, you didn't want to see Sean Payton and and you know a young good Drew Brees, not the old Drew Brees, the young Drew Brees when they were putting up you know, thirty and forty points a game. Uh so every every team has that. The one thing that I do appreciate about this Cowboys defense, it's almost that youthful ignorance. Yes, Sir,

Michael Parson has never played Aaron Rodgers never in his life. Now, that's a good thing, and that's a bad thing. It's a good thing because he's just like, hey, I'm just gonna go out here and do you know, do the whole whatever the hungry lion does. Bad thing is he don't know how bad of a man that dude really is and how he can put you in some very uncomfortable situations. So I mean so that that's the type of thing that you kind of gonna look for the

same thing with. Uh, you know a guy like Traymon Diggs who's he's never seen you know, Aaron Rodgers. And so there there's some youthful ignorance on this football team in a gun I say youthful ignorance, people, I mean that in a good way. That just they just haven't had a chance to know what it feels like to be in the playoffs against a quarterback like that. So you take that for what it is worth, and you hope that they just go out there and play free,

play loose, and to circle all the way back. The Curtains question is, you know, if the Cowboys handle Arizona and beat them by ten twenty points, well what if Green Bay beats Minnesota by ten or twenty points? That put them right back on you know, back in that in that same same plane. I think more so it'll give a lot of people more confidence. It'll get it will it'll give us the fact that we feel, especially

if we see it offensively. Man, this offense is back to where we needed to be, right because we we we saw it last week. Now what we don't want to come out and see is them look bad again. Now. I'll take the win, but I don't want you know, I'll kind of be scratching my head if it's a win and that got two interceptions and we can't really you know, find our way offensively, I'd be like, yes, we won, you still keep our you know, our checks the first place. But man, that offense took a step

back again, the defense build them out again. Um. So that that's the that's the biggest thing. And this is from a defensive perspective, this is going to be one of their biggest tests this year because of the problems that Colin Murray creates. I mean, this is a guy who's welly, who's very familiar with this football field. He's ain't no on his football field. It's a fast surface and they're getting ready to see a level of speed.

You know. It's it's it's one thing when you know you fast and you think about a quarterback and that quarterback's faster than you. You know, those those those defensive alignment uh, you know, Tank and all those guys. They can't take bad angles. They can't they can't duck inside. They You have to really be in your lanes this weekend and keep Colin Murray kind of in the pocket and uh and and and and and contain because he'll hurt you bad. He'll hurt you real bad with his

legs and uh and converting. I tell you what. But that's that's well said, man, Because we're gonna have to hit this cat. We're gonna have to hit this cat with everything. We got man it don't miss hit him and don't miss kid. Isn't that the way he scoots around? Watched high school? He Yeah, and he's one of one right in the NFC. You could say Lamar Jackson is the equivalent in the in the AFC, but he's one of one over there. So like he's literally the only guy that can do what he does in the NFC.

Like there's no like in the Lamar like this kid. This kid is accurate. Gun. He is one of one. He is one of one in the whole league. You know when I watched this kid, man, uh, you know. And I'm a realist. I'm glad and DeAndre Hopkins not playing. I'm glad, you know. I ain't want the people that game. No, I'm serious to see a lot of people running around talking about I want to play the best, to be the best. I want to win the Super Bowl. I don't care who if I got to walk over all

the I won the Super Bowl. As the Milwaukee Bucks, how they feel it down when they won the NBA Championship, they don't care that everybody was beat up when they played. It was covid it out. They won an NBA championship, and that's what you want to win the super Bowl. I want to win the super Bowl. Yep, you're you know, you know, you're completely right, Nate. Everybody something. There are some people that are like, I want to be the best of the best. Nobody cares. Next year we're talking

about don't won the super Bowl. They don't, They don't go, They don't go. Well, the team that they played was injured. They don't care. You got the ring, you got the trophy. It don't matter if the whole team was on COVID or not. You wasn't the super Bowl and that sign it's gonna be bro. We gotta get this thing. We gotta win this game. We gotta win this game to give ourselves a chance, you know, just in case something do happen with the other team. You know, don't don't

wait and see what the other team gonna do. All what, This game don't matter. This game matter because you just need to win because you want to be good. All right, real quick, let's get before we get into our predict let's get off the air as soon as possible. But I want to do one thing before we before we

do it, Let's go around the Horn. Out of these three teams, if the season ended today, the Eagles would have the seventh seed, the forty nine Ers would have the sixth seed, and the Cardinals would have the fifth seed. The Cowboys would have the second seed, Green Bay would have the first seed, Rams would be third, and Tampa Bay would be four. I just said that completely out of order. But anyway, out of Philadelphia, Sam France in Arizona, which one of those teams would you guys prefer to

face in the first round? Kurt Philly? I wouldn't take Philly. I think they're the weakest opponent of that group, and which were more talented? For sure? About you, Jess Philly, give me the back quarterback. I'll take it. I'll take it, Nate. That's what it's all about, Jess, and Kurt said it. It's all about your quarterback. You don't want to face the top dollars until you have to, you've faced you a better quarterback. DA's a better quarterback in their quarterback

all right. That brings me to my second question. Speaking of the good quarterbacks, you got Rogers in Green Bay, Stafford in la and Brady in Tampa Bay. Which one of those three teams would you want to face the least on the road to the Super Bowl? We at home on the road between the Rams, who Buccaneers and who who Rams? Buccaneers and green Bay in Green Bay? Um, yeah, that's the key. Are you going to be home on the road, Shannon. Let's well, you'd be at home against

any of them except Green Bay. So so it's on the between the Rams and and we want to ram, we want to ram. Yeah, I'd probably take the Rams too. I take the Ramford because all I got is Aaron Donald to deal with on the defense, and uh, because he makes that thing. So I got all I got all I got to the three time defensive Player of the Year. Yeah, but other guys that the braining Super

Bowl champ, the other guys the raided super Bowl. Yeah all I got it to the three time defensive Player of the Year, a future Hall of Famer, and Von Miller and a future Hall of Famer and Jalen Ramsey on defensive. Like I'm just I'm joking with y'all because I'm gonna choose the Rams as well. Like I'd rather play the Rams over any of those teams. But when you just say all I gotta deal with is is Aaron Donald. It's a little bit more than defensive, it is. But we can match up there. We we can match

up there. Vaughn has been been haggered and slow, uh everything to if not if number nine to nine get off is over anyway. So I'm ing you know, I'm being a real and that's one of the matchups. That's one of the cornerback matchups. If you had to come to me and say, oh, a cornerback match up, Jalen Ramsey, he can take out your number one, Yes he can. He can take out your number one with no extra help like so he could. He can man up with the Marii Cooper And I'm not saying shut him down

to he could be okay, but he could Yeah. Yeah, he can go man and man with a Maori Cooper all day long and hold his own. A Mario gets some, he'll get some. But that he don't need no safety help. He don't need no line dock and help. And you know, maybe you can you can shave that safety over to the Coop side and make life a little bit more

difficult because of that type of corner. He's that type of corner you say, all right, you and a Mari all day long, follow each other and we're gonna do some other stuff over there, and that match up defensively. Can now have them use like I said, now now you take out Ceede Lamb because you double him and it becomes you know, all right. Can we went up the line of scrimmage with Aaron Donald and Von Miller. Is it the show's type of day? Can Michael got

go off? You know, stuff like that. But when you gotta, when you got a healthy Jayla Remsey, that that gives you the opportunity to go man to man across you know, on that with your number one and so give us So give us the Tom Brady the route. Now I don't want that route. I still I still take the rents. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Out of all the nightmares you just gave these fans, you still don't talk you gave. I'm giving you the least of the light bares. I'm

giving you the least of the nightmares. You don't want to original give me anybody but Aaron Rodgers. I don't care if it's home or on the road. I have seen that movie. I read I've seen it I've seen it a home, I've seen it on the road. I don't want no part of that, man, I don't want it, So give me anybody else. Fans. I know fans are gonna be like, oh, you guys are just scared. Yes, yeah, I don't. I like, yeah, what you say? I don't want Aaron Rodgers. And fans don't tweet. Don't text me,

tweet me anything I'm talking about something. Oh you know, give you know, give me Aaron Rodgers. You know you've never stood on the field and had the face and look down that gun barrel. So don't tell me you want Aaron Rodgers when you're sitting at home with your couch.

I've been on the field and watched him discess and assassin assassinate football teams that I was on, and then I covered trust and believe you me, don't tell me you ain't scared of Aaron Rodgers when I've watched him do it to my football teams and the team that I covered. And the thing the thing about it is you're talking. You're talking about the Rams, and you're talking about the defensive guys, Aaron Donald and Jayla Ramsey and Von Miller and you're talking about. You know, Tampa Bay's

got a defense. Aaron Rodgers don't need no defense. He does not care like he can he can go out there and say, you know what, let's line up ten on defense. I still got this relaxed. Yeah, I've seen it. I don't want no part of it. All right, fellas that time of the show, we're gonna close out twenty twenty one. Thank god, we made it through the show almost. We still have about a minute to have to screw this up. So let's try to make it through. What
