Player's Lounge: A Healthy Tyron?

the year. I knew we Scrugs, joined by two former Dallas Cowboys safeties, the Toledo Rocket himself Buried Church and the Survivor so Survivor season forty one. He is Danny mccrai. If you have not seen him, please go over to CBS dot com. They've got all the episodes there and watch my man do his thing. Guy. It is one

more show. Here we will make our predictions as the Cowboys take on the Arizona Cardinals in their final regular season home game at Jerry World, and Tyrant Smith is expected to play big the pro bowler back in here. Uh he practiced today. Mike McCarthy says he looks good, so it looks like Tyrant Smith is gonna be up in there, barring any type of setback. Well, what type of practice is they here today? I saw some helmets out there. Yeah pass no, no, no, no no pads. I

don't see no pass, but they might. Oh that might have just been the walk through that we was we were seeing. Yeah, yeah, okay, listen. What I'm saying is I'm glad my man's tiring is back. A healthy tyrant is better than most of the left tackles in the league. A healthy tyrant. So I just want a healthy tyrant to carry us into the playoffs. Not this in the in the lineup, out of line up, in the lineup, out of line up, tear still playing left? Is this shit like he'll be playing left? Do we need to

like that? That's what That's what's gonna hurt us right going into the into the player So a healthy tyrant that can get us through the playoffs and this deep playoffs run, possibly to the super Bowl, that is what

I'm excited to see. Yeah, I hope that happens because right now that they say he's healthy, but you know, they say a lot of things out there, So I'm hoping my guys healthy, he can go out there and get back to his dominating ways, because we're gonna definitely need this guy, especially once the playoffs come around and we play against some top tier talent. We're definitely gonna

need him on that side protecting Dak Prescott. But when we talked to Looney a couple of weeks ago, when he was on a player's lounge, he talked about how, you know, moving those pieces around, having Terrence still go from right to left and bring it in Connor Williams and then uh, Connor's the other yeah, Connor McGovern, you know, in and out like in and out of the lineup

like that. He talked about how that can affect you, as you know, affects your confidence out there, affects your play style because you always want to want to feel like that's your position, like this is this is my position. I can hold it down out there. But when they move you around like that, it shows some you know, some vulnerabilities out there, and you're thinking, as a player that coaches, man, did they really believe in me? I don't know, And now I think that's what affected Terren

still moving that from right tackle to left tackle. But all that aside. Hopefully t Smith can come in here and hold it down stay healthy for this long run, because that, to me is the most important key health. No, no, we're not putting that aside. So y'all needed Joe Looney to come in here and tell y'all that I told y'all this every week. I just I literally told y'all this every week, stated said. And then a former NFL officsive lineman, he comes, he exact same thing. He verified it. Goodness,

thank you, thank you Joe Looney. All right, thank you for validating what I said and how I felt about it and how Terrn still possibly feels about it. But what makes you think these like why would I mean, I'm sure these coaches know the same. They know you know, all right, man, it's gonna be hard to kind of get traction moving these pieces here and there. What made you think, you know, for them to decide, let's move these guys in left guard around, let's move this guy

from right tackle to left tackle. What made you to get know that thought process? Because at that point you had time, You had time. You gotta lead in the division. You need to have your strongest five going forward. If you really plan on making a deep running to the playoffs. So if you're gonna, if you're gonna do it, that's the top musical chairs on my guy. He knows, you know. Back in high school, they was around Lady mc guard sent up tackle running back. He was pulling, pulling around

athletic Collins. Yeah, Collins before Collins out here, I'll see you. I'm just happy to know that the fat Bury Church and I placed in Tyrann Smith has pretty much come to pass because he did make the Pro Bowler. He did. He did do that. We called it. We could come back. You probably the only player who miss five. Get him and Lamar Jackson. They're gonna break a record for the people who played the less amount of games and made the Pro Bowl. That's what That's what they gonna do.

It just shows the doctors show the town that is they were able to do when they're out on the football field. Who ain't PF graded them more to the highest Almost you, PFW, I'm just saying no, are you personally okay already? But but they graded him as one of the highest. I'm not saying he wasn't graded high.

He played well when he was in the game. When he was in the game, he played well, I'm just saying he missed five, even five, twenty eleven times right now, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, layout gonna be all today. He missed five too, So you know it's five you miss You missed five or less, and you can make the Pro Bowl. You gotta be a different breath all Notice, you gotta be a different breathe. You know you gotta be established is that player already?

You got to be established as that player already. All you know, fight, I didn't have you want to, but my man is a pro bow, so fighting about that. Congratulates now. I do want to also make you feel a little bit good, Danny. Okay, make you feel good though, Burying, I you know, Burying, I were correct about the Cowboys

going defense and taking Michael Parson. We were correct because I don't know if you if you checked out that if you check out that list I sent you from ESPNS, Will Barnwell when he came out with It's all protein, Oh, I wasn't able to check it out because you couldn't check it out. So so break it down to us the Newes. Okay, so since I paid for it. I'll keep it the inside information. Um. Michael Parsons was first

team All Pro at the linebacker spot. In fact, the Cowboys had Zack Martin at guard on the first on his All Protein first team, Parsons linebacker, first team All Pro, Digs at cornerback first team All Pro, and Brian Anger the puncher made second team. Now, where I do want to go ahead and give Danny some some some credit here the guy he called for, a Rashaw Slater on this list was second team All Pro left tackle behind

Trick Williams of the forty nineties. So Rasha Slater's uh had a really good rookie year and and and uh so all this particular was like we're both we're both correct tackle, second team. All it sounds like it's a wash. You know, we just right on Parsons. You know Slater, There's there's no wash because we talked about how this defense needed needed some playmakers, needed a blue chip player,

and they got one. Michael Parsons also today named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month for December, so second straight month he's won the award. So Michael Parsons is Michael Parsons beyond this. I expect this is this is this is it. You need some help, But he's beyond So this is what I'm talking about. This is what I'm talking about. See, this is how he goes opposite of how you guys think and how I think. Okay, Nui was on the same train as me that said

Mike Nolan was the problem. All right, he was the issue you not so much. You said it was on the players. My belief was that if you bring a new defensive coordinator in here, those blue those blue chip players that we that you thought we didn't have, all of a sudden, we will have them because we would have better coaching. Do we not have those blue blue chip players on the score. So my belief is, hey, bring Dan Quinny. We don't have to do nothing extravagant.

We don't have to do anything extravagant that in my mind, we did not have to go spend at that time a first round pick on the defensive player because I really put all the onus on Nolan. So now you come back this year, take out Michael Parsons. He's he's a great I'm not I'm not saying that he's not He's a great draft pick for us, all right, hindsight, d law back blue chip right, nevill got him more,

playing better, not blue chip, but he's playing better. Trayvon Diggs, curse, what would you say about what would you say about him on our team right now? He's playing well, playing well like we had the players then quick could bring those players in. He did a great job of getting Michael Parsons and turn him into the player that he was. But that was my thought process at the time. The players were playing bad because of the defensive coordinator. I can't put it all on I mean, but you can

look at the proof of it now. Yeah, but you know, No. One didn't have a whole off season. He didn't have many camp OTAs. He had an abbreviated training camp, no preseasons. I can't put it all. They couldn't play Cover three. They couldn't do that. I mean, they could play I couldn't play Cover one either could. But look at the pieces they had. He was getting burnt and Cover three yesterday just said we had the same guys. He got

me on that. But I'm just saying I can't really put it all on Nolan because he didn't have that that off season to really, you know, put his program to work like that. Now, was he the best defensive coordinator? I don't think he was the best, but I think it was a little bit of share both ways with the players and Nolan. Last he tried to turn the four three team into the three four. That's his first mistake.

I don't care what type of program you got. When you realize that you have a shortened training camp, short the preseason, you have to find a way to adapt. Dan Quinn said, I'm going to create my defense when I get there based off the players that I see in their abilities. If Mike Nolan would have came in what they saying believe, he wouldn't been running though three four. But you can't tell me because he's in the lab. De Law can't get to the quarterback standing up. No,

we saw the last year. He can't make to the quarterback standing up. They look like totally different players standing up coming off the edge. D Law did not look like the same players standing up coming up. I don't know, man, how many how do you play? Last year? He didn't blame one standing up, hit me all of it. Go ahead to it, Church and I Church and I were right. Okay, byline, Church and I were right. They needed to go defense in the first round. They went defense in the first round.

We see the tremendous IMPACTAE there. We said, go another year with tires, Schmid. The guys made the Pro Bowl. We were right. That's all you can do. The final show here, you just say. You can say, Danny that we were The only thing you was righty to do was bring that chicken in here. Twice depends. That's the only thing you was right to do was to bring that Palmer chicken in here. So you can get a reaction out of me for twenty twenty and beyond. That's

the only thing you would correct about. So take that. How about that? How about that? Shout out to shout out to Slater being a great player, and shout out to Michael Parsons being a great player equally they both woun't know as okay, as in they both did what they were supposed to do. His first round picks. And if Slater was on our team, I think we're still have a great squad. Michael Parkson on our team, we have a great defense. Yeah, I can I can't tell

on that one. Michael Parson is a generational though. Man, that dude. He only behind Trent Williams, who was a generational talism. What can what can an offer? I mean, you know, I just feel like market Parsons can make more of an impact. And then that's just a position they play. You know, that's a position they play. But yeah, tell your quarterback get hit the back of the head again. I'm just saying, no, no, listen, don't don't don't don't

take don't take anything away from left tackles down. That is that's the reason why they get paid so much is because they do black. Their effect on the game is huge as tiring. He knows because, like I said, that Atlanta game keeps two years ago reminds us all. So let me ask this question about Parsi's for you guys. In training camp, we started hearing some positive things, okay, a lot of positive notes and if people were talking about sky high expectations. I mean, he came into the season.

I think Vegas had him as as the odds unfavored to win the Rookie of the Year on the defensive side of the football here. So based on what he's done so far and what you thought he could be the high ceiling. Did he meet it? Surpass it? Where did Parsons fall? Uh? For me, he exceeded it. Um listen, and I'll honestly if any one of you say that he did not even seen your expectations, I won't believe you.

He ain't seen it expectations. He came in, he got sacks, he's he's reading, reading defenses, being able to play in coverage and stop the run. The dude has exceeded all of my expectations. So he deserves every accolade that he's getting. He deserved his first round drafting. He should have been drafted earlier, and we redo it. Yeah, and they redo it. He's gonna be a top three he should have been

drafted earlier. But I would say this, I am absolutely happy that Dan Quinn got his hands on Michael Parsons because I've seen some coaches be able to ruin some of these players by putting them in wrong in the wrong situation show. I think it's a match made in heaven, and he deserves every accolade that he's getting. Yeah, Yeah,

he definitely deserves every single one. I mean, just just look at the impact that this guy has been able to have as a rookie, and not only a rookie, a guy that didn't even play the previous year at Penn State. He took the year off because of COVID. This guy's impact, Like I said before, I don't know if it was as great as Das Bryant's his ar rookie year, but now that I really I mean, he succeeded that beyond. I mean the way he's been able

to transform this defense. I give half to Dad Quinn and half to Michael Parsons, just the way that he's been able to turn and juice get this whole defense. Juice. I mean, like you said last year, Delon Randy Gregory, they weren't playing this way. They get injured, they see this guy, the young Lion, pretty much take over the defense. He's pretty much the main guy the defense. So when they come back, they're sitting there like, we gotta step our game up. We gotta be that guy. I want

people to think this is my defense. So he's forcing these guys, he's veteran players, to step up their game. He's attacking offenses and forcing them to put their whole game playing around. How are we gonna stop eleven. It's not how are we gonna stop you know, this guy over here, the Marcus Lawrence over there, Randy Gregor, it's how do we stop Michael Parsons and stop him from

affecting the game. And they haven't been able to figure it out because the guy has still been able to get back there, get sacks, make splash plays each in every Sunday out there. So to me, his impact, it's by far the best I've seen out of any rookie. Now, this would not be a great last show even if I don't push back on Church with this, with this

fifty fifty. Okay, listens, not fifty fifty. And I'm gonna tell you why it's not fifty fifty because if you don't give Trayvon Dick, if you don't listen before before Michael Parsons got in there and started and started showing what he could do, Trayvon dis came in here and said he was going to catch fourteen interceptions this year. He man, So it's not because Michael Parsons is out there. I said, it's not. He's not playing better because he's

trying to chase Michael Parsons. He had to He knew this when he came in last year, had a rookie year at a sucky coach, and he knew that if he got his hands on those balls with in a better position, with better coaching, he was gonna be able

to play better. He has. He has eleven and eleven interceptions, all right, So he he also has something to do with this defense being able to be what they are, right, because if you can't take the ball away and all you're doing is getting sexed, and you're you're you're a different level than what we are now is and leading the team, leading the league in scoring defense. Yeah, I mean he's balling. I'll give it to Diggs. This ball

out of control. But I think a lot of that has to deal with how a Levin is able to get to these quarterbacks. I mean, we can't make we all though this Russian cover work together sometimes because the coverage will be locked down back there to give the D line an extra tick to get there and fights first, and sometimes d line will get there quick when a

dB is burned. But I think a lot of what's going on in this secondary, how they're able to play so well together, it is because this pass rush is amazing, and I think it's led by Parsons and what he's able to do to do put up? Who put this pass? Man? They lucked up and it got parts. And they don't even want Parsons that they picked. They went that no party. Dan Quinn is a d line coach. Yeah, he was smart enough to put Parsons up as a Russia, as

a Russian got hurt. Yea, when the injuries came, he would have been We'd have never knew about Parsons being being being the best pass rusher out there. If the law ain't get hurt. I can't. I can't give that Quinn all that. I can't. I can't give him all. He's the beast. They were playing good before Parsons was playing Russia in Yeah, so let's not they were playing

eight points man. They got both US tournaments. This is what I'm going to compare the conversation about Digs and Parsons playing together in the twenty eleven NBA Finals, watching the defense between d Wade and Lebron James when they were facing the Mavericks. There were times out there, man, now, just I felt like I was watching two Doberman pinchers it were just feeding off each other, and they were just a pack working together, and they were doing some

pretty cool things out there on the court. And that kind of even goes back to what we saw Jordan pipping at times when they were out there together. Mean, they were just together doing this and a lot of what Barry's talking about. I'm gonna give you credit because Warren sapp Well also said that the backdoor work without the front. They've worked together, and they've been tremendous. When I go back and think of Michael Parsons, I go back to our conversations with Will McClay that I had

with him. I said, is could he be Pat Swilling? And you guys are too young to remember Pat Swilling, but he was a great linebacker in New Orleans when they had the Dome Patrol, They had Ricky Jackson, they had Sam Mills. Pat Swilling was coming off the edge. There was Lawrence Taylor at the time. Laurence Taylor was the standard, and I mean it was Lawrence and then everybody else was down below. Pat Swilling was kind of

that next guy down below. And what I mentioned Pat Swilling that Will McClay his eyes lit up and he said yes, he could be that, and let me tell you, he's blown past any of the numbers that Swilling put up as in his first or second year combined in sacks. So he's been tremendous and the Cowboys have been blessed to have him. They've been blessed that Dan Quinn has put treyvon Digs in the right position and also allowed treyvon Digs to go out here and travel with people.

You just really had a coach who took two really good talents and put him in a fantastic position to excel. So props to both of those guys. This is just one all pro list. We'll see exactly what other ones come out here, but both of us should be first team on all of it, and hopefully one of the two guys is the defensive player of the year. I love it if one of those guys was defensive player

of the year. And I know people are talking about t J. Watt and Miles Garrett, but can you give t J. Watt the defensive player of the Year on a losing football team. I can't do it. I don't know if I can. I mean, he has the sack numbers, but it's not like Parsons is like five or six sacks behind them, you know, I think Parsons is only you know, maybe two right there, like two or three sacks behind them. And then Parsons also eclipses him in tackles by like thirty forced fumbles as well. I think

they're right there abound the same number. So would you rather go with the guy on the team that's, you know, behind a little bit in sacks, but his team is going to the playoffs, his team is going in the right direction, or a guy that you know has one category over somebody, but their team they're not gonna make it to the playoffs. Yeah, I listen. I think it's tough for all three of them. I'm not I'm still

putting Trayvon Diggs in there. This eleven interception season is something that you just do not see that all eleven interceptance of the season and still have two games up. It's something that we might not see again for another twenty years. So I think he's in the running. I think you have to figure out a way to compare the T. J. Watt and Parsons, like put them on the same level, because they do play a different position.

He doesn't wrest as much the t J Watt does, so I think they also see different type of schemes, they're seeing different type of blocking whatever. But I do want to I do want to say this. They should it should be one of the Cowboys players. We have a better team. Uh, we're likely going to the playoffs. I think we've we've been in a better position throughout

the entire season than the Pittsburgh Steelers. And t J watch is great, but I think this is the year for one of the Cowboys players to be a defensive Player of the Year.

Help Dak earned a twenty five thousand dollar donation to his Faith Fight Finish Foundation by voting on Twitter tweet hashtag wp moy challenge, followed by

Louis Scrugs, joined by four Dallas Cowboys Safeties, Buried Church and Danny mccrab Danny, you mentioned something and talking about Michael Parsons and Trevon Diggs where these guys both have great cases for the NFL Player of the Year. Now, could this be a situation where they cancel each other out because they both have outstanding resumes and that neither Cowboy wins

the award. I don't think now, I don't think so. I think I think the people that are going to be picking the player to win the Defensive Player of the Year award can't see right through that, all right? You you you? And then they also have to see these guys because they played for the Cowboys literally every day. Every day you're talking about trade und days were living,

you talking about how good can Michael Parsons be? And I think that is going to continue to ring in their ears as they as they consider who they're going to vote for. So I don't think they canceled each other out. Eleven picks and having a rookie All Pro linebacker, but those things are going to stay and tall when people decide who they're gonna vote for. Yeah, I don't think it'll cancel it out either. But my reason is because I think, you know, Michael Parsons, I think he's

gonna run away with this award. Um, you know, Dave's definitely deserves to be in the conversation. But I think when the voters get to going at it, they're gonna look at those eleven picks and be like, all right, that's amazing. But he's also giving up the most yards in a corner out of any corner in the National

Football League right now. So I think they're gonna take that into at a consideration and sit there and be like, I don't know if we can give them the Defensive Player of the Year award, because if you think about it, when they gave it to Stefan Gilmour a couple of years ago, he was a number one corner out there. He didn't have the pick numbers that Trayvon Diggs had, but he was shutting down any type of receiver. I think he gave up you know, one of the lowest

you know yards ratings, whatever it is. I don't know the exact number, but he was one of the best corners that shutting someone down. So I think if if Diggs had those eleven picks and had these you know, lockdown numbers to back it up, I think he would have an even more solid case. But right now, I just think Michael Parsons is gonna run away with this thing. But but what we know is you usually only get one.

You're not gonna be a lockdown corner throughout the entire season, and then also get eleven exception right now because because people ain't gonna try, the quarterbacks ain't gonna try. You what, what would you rather have on your team right now? Though?

A guy who who who you can depend on literally almost getting an interception per games, Well, it depends who I got, because like, if I have our front, if I got what you know, Parsons and Dlon and Gregor and him, I'm like, hey, give me that corner like a like a stephone get more a couple of years ago. That's just so you want to Byron Jones over a trayvon dis If I got guy that can get aft of the quarterback, create those fumbles that way, I'm going

with that. But you know, in another situation, I can see your defenses, you know, make that they might not have that great pass rush, but they need to get the ball back somehow, some way. Digs that you gotta do. So I'll see it both ways. I'm always going for turnovers, turnovers, get picks in zone. He's reading backside zone with a seattle of over. I just get interceptions. We've been begging for guys who can take the ball away. Byron Jones. We didn't want him here because he could take the

ball away. I'm going with the guy who any time could be like, hey this is we got a shot. You know, knew his favorite coach. He's saying like, we need ball gassacast, that's new his favorite coach. He goes by it. So we'll see Bill Partall say that. No, no, that's saying that. Jimmy jump Jimmy. Jimmy Johnson said difference makers by the way, Um, Jason Garrison, Okay, all right, outstanding, Jason Garrett, you're gonna get it on a two CB man, oh man, we're y'all all right, so so all right,

So I this conversation had me. I was like, man, let me just go ahead and hit up two people I know who are going to vote on the award. And one person who's voting on the defensive Player of the Year told me probably Aaron Donald. It's down to Aaron Donald or Parsons for me. A D's the best defensive player in football and he's finishing with a flurry. So that's what one voter said. Another voter said Diggs and Parsons could split the vote, costing both letting T. J.

Watt potentially slip in. Parsons is the better player. But if Diggs gets to twelve or thirteen interceptions, folks will vote off the stat sheet. So that's two different people who have a vote about the defensive Layer of the Year, Like they don't have no idea whatever he brought a hold on what he has been in the you know, he's getting a couple of sacks from the defensive tackle position.

So that's pretty hard. And would you say, without looking at stats, would you just say who's the most dominant defensive player in the NFL right now, if you would without looking at stats, you're just looking at play, just the eye test. Michael Parsons, Michael Parsons over and over, and Aaron Donald absolutely, I think. I think his versatility gives him that that that opportunity to be the most

dominant he can. He could dominated pass coverage the man is switching off man and man pick routs, and then then he's going to stop the run on the second level, and then he's rushing on the first level. I mean, when you talk about dominance, that is what dominance is. And it takes nothing away from Aaron Donald because he's not playing linebacker and he's not covering guys. But that

ain't Michael Parson's fault. So what So in European what would be the more dominating trait being able to be more versatile out there against pass and run or just being a guy that's just you can don't matter, double team, triple, that don't matter. He's going bulldoze ye and he's gonna create havoc in the backfield. Versutile, Aaron Donald couldn't go

back then play a stack linebacker. He would if he could go back there and cover the running back coming out of the backfield and switch it off because he because he has that type of instinct, he would. But that is something that is specifically for guys that are as talented as Michael Parsons. He's he's just that versatile. It's nothing against the rest of the guys. But if you can't do it, can't do you think? Now, I'm I'm biased because I saw how bad this defense was

last year. It was just really bad. And to see the kind of impact that he's made on this team and they're sitting here at the number two seeds. None of us expected this. Dear Hope was, hey, man, maybe they could just be average, and Danny talked about he was the one who and you would you would? And it was it was you and dan Quinn, two people, You and dan Quinn sitting over there together believing in it. The rest of us were just like, man, can these

dudes just be average? They're not average, they are elite and this defense is carrying the offense. Man. So I'm sorry when I look at what Michael Parsons has done, I will not use the words LT. Okay, I'm just not When people want to talk comparisons, I think that's sacrilegious. I watched I watched LT play and you guys were younger, you didn't see it. No one is in that category when we talk about the best of all time, Lawrence is that check him out. On the Madden Special is

Aaron On Peacock, but it's called All Madden. They did a whole segment with Lawrence Taylor, and you just see just a glimpse of how dangerous this man was. And while Michael Parsons has some fantastic talent, he's not there yet. Lawrence Taylor is at a whole other thing. We ain't never seen an like this before. So but what he's done, man, what he's done for this defense. Brother, we haven't seen anything defensively like this from the Cowboys since the nineties.

We haven't seen a defense play like this since the nineties. And even then, in the nineties, they didn't have a linebacker making these kind of plays. Ken Norton was a good player, Robert Jose is a good player. But they weren't Michael Parsons. They weren't. They weren't this. I mean, this guy's gonna be All Pro as a rookie, and he didn't even play football last year. This man will do next season, Yes, I mean next season. I feel bad for folks. Man, it's gonna be nasty with this.

You can do now that he knows what to do, how to train, how the game we're gonna be played. It's it's it's ridiculous right now. And I want to ask both of y'all this going forward. You know, this year, we know he's been playing both back and forth, linebacker,

defensive lineman, whatever the case may be. He's a hybrid, whatever the case going forward, could you see next year him being more of that prominent on the edge of the line of scrimmage pass rusher or do you think they're going to continue with this depending on the matchup, having him that linebacker, having him on the defensive line. I think that depends on who you still have on

the roster at that point. We know, Randy Gregory is if you find a way to keep keep the same core guys that you have up front and you also keep dan Quinn, I think that it will stay the same. Uh. Like I continue to say that unfortunately dan Quinn is so great that he no listen that I still that I do believe that if there, if Mike Nolan was here and we had Michael Parsons, I do not believe

that he would be the same player. I do not believe that he would have been putting the same positions to make the same plays that he's making right now. So I think that's why I said mats made to him. Hopefully DQ is still here and we can keep Randy Gregory and that way we still have that mean front four that nobody can block, and then Trey Vun Biggs and those guys guys can still go back there and do work. So No, hopefully DQ was here, so I

hope he still plays the same position, same balance. All right, let's get let's get one more break in here and we'll run at the time, so and make sure we get our We got our last show, so we got to get our predictions for the game coming up.
