Player's Lounge: Do You Need More From Dak?

to you by Tostitos. My friends, it is time to get into the Jacksonville Jaguires against the Dallas Cowboys down in Duval and joining us today to do it heck Ma Harrison, Danny mccraive from Cowboys Safety perfect attendance mccraive, man, and uh Barry Church is uh by Churches join us. You know what, Man, I don't know how die hard he is. And he's from Pittsburgh, so maybe this stuff is effecting nothing. No, this is he hate the cold. That's why he said, ain't going back to Pittsburgh. Not

he's gonna gonna play golf in the cold. I don't know what's tolerance level, man. And you know his golf course today. It's easy to get out there, you know easy. You know, let's thousand dollars jacket. You know what they keep one little furness or something like that. You know, I don't got the fur line. I don't know about he got a golf cart that has doors at all? Yeah? Absolutely no, what's that thing? That's you have one of those? Don't you? Chris? What's it called? It's not a no

serious man? Was it? This is it a side by side? I do not have a side by side. I've been in one with you. That's not man, all right. It's a running off in the cowboys building. This why, this is why when you tell people you work for the cowboys, they automatically assume you got money, because they'd be seeing people riding here side by side, golf course where he he just seats all type of stuff. Brahma, bullshoes. You know what I'm saying? They come, ha, got on? First

of all? Is that what it is? Yes? Come on, come on, I don't play with me. I know TV many we would make our cowboys. We know you have money. We saw you win it. Remember this is very true. So a couple of dollars couple, this is this is very true. Maybe texting you, broybe texting you. Oh, believe me, I've been I've been getting half since twenty ten half half half? Do you have a talent agent? By the way, I do not have a talent agent. I have a social media manager, okay, which is his wife. No, I

have a realm. But like, and I asked that quite because because those are more dollars that people don't talk about. You know, these people are not doing this for free. Social media guys, it's twenty percent, twenty percent whatever you bring in. Yeah, that's that's what I was asking this, you know, just so you got a social media guy, which is good you don't have an agent because he would have been getting his you know, and football yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

ten to twenty depending on what it is. And so so okay, all right, no, that's that. That's a nah. Man they call me, I'll have to call them a point good for you and that that's that that is good for you. Um, what do you need to see from Dak Prescott to make you feel good? On Sunday, I'll start with you. What do you need to see? Man? I just need him to manage these drives. I don't need any of these drives to end uh with a

turn off. Just don't turn the ball over. Play smart football. Um, I think that's the one thing that's been plaguing him. And all the excuses in the world, tip balls, God's not running the right routes. None of that's gonna matter because it's all gonna be placed on him at the end of the day. Anyway. I just wanted him to play clean, and he has an opportunity to do that,

especially with this week. I think there's going to be more of an emphasis on getting this running game going, and I think the running game and play action is going to help him out tremendously. And by the way, I don't think Jacksonville is gonna do that too safety high look like the other guys that they go primarily with single safety high looks. So I think he could be sharp. He's just gonna that's what it is. He's just gonna have to play sharp this week. You're taking

it easy on that. Da needs to secure the ball. One ball security is number one. Number two. I need to see Dak be able to put the ball in the right place depending on what the coverage is. If he does just something happened to see cover three or cover two, I want to see it go to the right spot. He keeps saying stuff about this gun slinger and being aggressive and all this stuff. Be aggressive by

putting the ball in the right spot. The Cover two shot that he did, and on the last drive with Noah Browns dives down and catches the ball where he throws it over the cornerback but in front of the safety. Those are the type of throws that I want to see him continue to make. He read it than Cover two, that is the weak spot. I wanted to do the

same thing at Cover three. Don't throw the double slant in the cover of three, throw it to the seatt over with the tight end running across and out leverage in the linebacker. Like I want to see him make those reads because those are the plays that are gonna he's gonna have to make if he runs up against a Philly or San Francisco like we saw last night. Those defenses are real and if you make the wrong decision,

they're gonna make you pay for us. So I want to see him just continue to get better throughout the rest of the season so as we get into the playoff. He has that confidence in himself and we also have that confidence in him, and I think we talked about that earlier in the week about how Cover two was affecting him, but also how this receiving group isn't willing to run into that headache. So I think a lot of that has to do with it. But also, you know, look, man,

take what the defense is giving. You don't try, And for us, I think he's do you believe when you watch Dak, do you ask yourself is he pressing to make these throws? I don't think he's pressing. I think he's making the wrong decision when you The thing is so my defensive coordinators have always told me, hey man, we're gonna run this coverage. This coverage cannot stop everything. There's always a week a week point in a zone coverage, right because the guy's got eyes on the quarterback. There

are route concepts that can outleverage guys. So there's somewhere in the third of ball Keller Moore is giving him route concepts. Hopefully that is advantageous to going against the cover two of cover three. He just needs to be able to find those, uh those those right reads, and last game, I don't think he found enough of those right reads. And then we talked about some stuff off Ara where we had seen him throw a couple of

interceptions into the same look multiple times, which was covered three. Like, he has to be able to make those reads because he's gonna continue to see it until he makes teams pay for it. Gentlemen, you're you're you're both, I mean you're you're singing to the choir here. Man. I'm just like, yeah, yeah, back back, and you're both there. Um for me as I look as you know you've got You've got Jacksonville, Philadelphia, Tennessee, Washington.

He cannot have these turnovers going into the playoffs. And I'm sitting here looking at fourteen touchdowns to nine interceptions on the season that that's just that's not the Dak Prescott We've come know that, you know, there's there's there's an issue here and it has to change. And he spoke this week that he understands it. But guys, this is this is not going to take the Cowboys where they want to go. And in the quarterback starting this week needs to be better. I was looking at Trevor

Lawrences him. I didn't realize he had twenty. He's got twenty touchdowns to six picks. He's quietly at the end of the season. At the last four or five games, he's been playing some ball. November, he's taken off and and and this is I would have thought these would be flipped honestly, just just you know, just just going and you're like, oh, oh, what does so that? That to me is And I don't know how Dak finds it. Guys,

I don't know what he needs to do. But I guess when you're when your coaches talk to you, Now, did they do they come to you and say, hey, Danny, this isn't the best version of you. I mean, do they show do you show the guy cut up? I mean, what do you do to get him back to being the guy who takes care of the football? That used to be kind of be the m O with Dak. Say the guy was gonna take care the football. That's Dak. I mean, you're paying the guy forty This is this

is before this year. We have always labeled back as the ultimate leader, right, he leads the guys. When he got hurt, you saw how much people respected him from other teams around the league and in the locker room that you saw the impact that it had when he was not in there. Because he is the leader so people are gonna look at Dak to figure out a way to get this done on his own. Yeah, they're gonna show up some cut ups. They're gonna show him what he shouldn't do, where the right reads are. But

this is really on him. He says he wants to be aggressive, but he wants to protect the ball. He's gonna have to come out and then show people that he's putting in that work to make sure that he is getting back to the old DAC. I think this is literally on the player. The coaches can only do so much for showing you so much film. He's a quarterback.

He watches enough film. He just when it comes down to it, he just hasn't been making the right decisions or the decisions that we have been accustomed to watching him make. And I think he can get back to it. He he just got to get out of that slump. Man. It's like a shooter like Steph Curry sometimes. Man, he go five or six games and hit two threes total, and all of a sudden, that next game he throw he at ten. Yeah, and I think that's that's what

Dak Prescott is going through at this moment. I'm not gonna give him any excuses. Fourteen to nine is not good. It's not You can't win many games like that, and you're not gonna be very good in the playoffs turning the ball over that many times. If the win percentage in the NFL is but two three points, that's every week,

that's across the board. So at some point, when we saw him do in the final minutes of that game, to come back and get the victory is what you want from your quarterback, because nine times out of ten in the playoffs is gonna come down to who has the ball last. You want your defense to do everything get you get you know, if you get a league, secure league. But teams are just too good. Quarterbacks are

too good. You cannot turn the ball over. When you hear him, take the pot, take the podium, and take ownership of those turnovers. That's what you want to hear. You don't want to hear guy say, Man, I'm just gonna keep being aggressive. But I don't think that Dak is gonna turning the bus driver Dak by no means.

And I think that when you hear the front office talking about bringing into Odell, you bring in a team, why Hilton just for those things that we talked about this week about coverage, you need to get a guy that can take the top off. We don't have that. For some reason, CD is not willing to run into that headache CD. We saw in those a couple of those turnovers. CD is cutting behind, trying to cut behind, or him and Dak are just not on the same

page of communication. Just isn't there. This is this point in the season, especially going into Jacksonville, they have to clean that up. I expect for CD to have a big, big game in this game because he can. I mean, listen to CDs and Dallas Cowboys number one receiver. He needs to have multiple big time games. When you look at the guys who are at the top of the receiver list for stats, for numbers, for impact on the game,

I do believe that CD lamb one. If he's going to ask for and demand the type of money that he wants when it comes paydaytime, he's gonna need to be up there in the top top five, top six guys of like, hey, this is a guy who you need to focus on when we're playing against you. And I don't think right now he's there because he hasn't been as consistent and like, yeah, okay, Jacksonville, he should,

Texas he should. But when we played Philly and we played the good teams we played in San Francisco, that's what we should say. Hey man, we put it in your hand. CD, like, when we're not able to run the ball, we have to be able to find number eighty eight and they need to be able to have to respect that guy and get other people open if they're going to play it that hard, because ad eight is going to destroy you if he doesn't. That's what

That's what das Brian was. I hear you. But honestly, it's gonna get his money whether he's performing like you know, a number one Pro Bowl guy here or not. That's just how it works right here. I mean, let's just be honest. What's the market right now? Receive Christian Kirk last year was here at twenty one million dollars? You know,

I look atte Adams. That's what I mean. And this is basically and at the Lee Steinberg legendary basically told me, yeah, hey man, when it's time for you to go to Jerry with your guy, and if your guy's good, you're asking, you're asking to set the market, because that's what they have done here. Set the market with set the market with Q, tied them market with the Marii Cooper U, set the market with Zach Martin, set the market with Travis Frederick um Tank, set the marketing. This is what

they do. So when Cede Lamb comes up here. But what you just said, though, okay, they shifted the Marie Like, if you don't produce, then I don't think the market is gonna be setting Zeke when he set the market. Zeke was performing when the Marcus Lawrence they franchised them twice and he was still performing in both of those franchise tag years. If you come in here you have

a eight hundred yards season, you're nothing to go. Jerry will pay you, but he's nothing to give you one hundred and twenty million dollars off of eight hundred yards season, where previous seasons you also had eight hundred dollars, barely scratching a thousand. This is just me, no putting, no bet on it. When Ceedee Lambs gets his new contract with the Cowboys, it will be top three average four receivers.

Well yeah, so I mean you expect him to turn into that guy, and it won't be based on performance. It'll be just this is what they do. They're they're not gonna want to let him get away, and they're gonna pay that number because that's just what they've done. When Trayvon Dicks, Dicks is gonna get if he's not once again, age is gonna come ask for the most of the game, and they paid. But they just just I guess the ship. I've not seen them hold the line on people. Has Cedee Lamb had a year that

was comparable to Trayvon digs No. So when you go when your agent goes in there and says, hey, man, this is what this guy's potential is and you know it because we've seen it. Yeah, Trayvon dis Yeah, I got thirteen, I got I got yeah, I got this,

I got that. I could be a lockdown guy. If TD Lamb continues to put eight hundred yards seasons or barely scratching the thousand, and then he's not having an impact on the game where defensive coordinators are not saying, hey, this is a guy that we need to make sure that we shut down or we don't have a shot

like a Michael Parsons. Then I think you have a it's a hard sell, especially especially assuming that there are going to be other guys available at the time that Ceedee Lamb is up, and he and Justin Jefferson are both going to be up at the same time. And Justin Jefferson has fifteen hundred yards right now, So six tuddies fifteen hundred yards a big difference. I mean, Jamar look at a guy like Jamarks. You talk my first

round guys. So you talked about Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson back to back years of being first rounds guy. Have you talked about Ceedee Lamb at like you talked about Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase. You haven't. But at the same time, you know, that's what I say. I believe he's gonna get top five of you know, Jefferson, whatever it is, He's going to get top five average here if not set the market based on the history

of how they've gone about their business. Now I go back to Jamari Cooper thing, and this is for me, this is just me. I thought it was mishandled from the day they made the trade. If you make the trade and you're giving up a number one to the Raiders. He should have come in here with a contract set. Much like when Darius Slay goes from Detroit to Philadelphia, boom, there's a contract in place. When DeVante Adams goes from Green Bay to the Raiders, there's a contract in place.

And so once the contract wasn't there, and they were like, well, play out the season. He hits the market, Well, Washington came in with more money. He wanted to go to Washington, smart on him. But then now you pay them. You paid him a raid that tied the market. That was Remember that at that time, Maria was up, Zeke was up, Dat was up, and then the pie and Steve right, Stephen was sitting here and telling us to train again.

We're not setting the market, you know, we're trying to give everybody, you know, trying to get you a little bit, a little bit. Anyway, everybody got paid. Yeah he did, and so I don't why, why why do you expect that to stop? Because those guys performed in those years. When Amari Cooper was traded here, he changed the entire team. He balled, and it was visible for you to say, this is why we got to pay the guy. It's documented, it's document And here Zeke leaning rusher, him and him

and and they a rookie year. These guys are they're bawling. You can go turn the tape on and say this is what I know I can get out of the guy. What do you turn on when you see eighty eight from this year and last year and say, hey man, this is what I know I'm going to get our can we if we get the most out of them? Then you turn on the tape. Did you say do you get do you sign them to a Davante Adams type of deal? Justin Jefferson the type of deal because

I've seen it on tape. Have you seen it on tape? No, you haven't, And I mean you put it in it in context in a way for people to understand that. Look, from the beginning of this season, it was all about him taking that step to be a number one receiver. He hadn't done it, and that's why you're still having these conversations about guys coming in and having that production.

But in all fairness to CD, he is at nine sixty one, Okay, he's on the He's gonna have a thousand yard season this year and we're still that's the messory stick for success at his position. Is he gonna he set the market? No, he's not, because Justin Jefferson is gonna be up the same time he is. Justin Jefferson is gonna reset the market for wide receivers and deservingly set measuring stick is moved, by the way, just so y'all know, okay, because Cooper Cup, then reset that.

Justin Jefferson, I sent you in the reson it's been it's been half a thousand yards. How many people gonna do a Cooper Cup I'm saying. I'm saying, reaching a thousand yards in the season has been minimal for like the last five or six years, twelve to thirteen. Yeah, maybe you got a thousands, like yeah, right, yeah, the twelve thirteen. You know what I'm saying. And you gotta

add the touchdowns on that as well. And you both bring up facts, but when it comes to negotiating the facts and stats don't matter because you're gonna go to Jerry Heck when you my god, you wearing the eighty eight man, So you say they're gonna pay him regardless, thank you. That's how new it is he gonna get the bad regards, don't matter how this thing is, right, he gonna get the money. I think he don't get

some money. I just don't think he's gonna get top top five money when it when it, when it's that time, especially if there are other guys who are available on the market. You're signing the O'Dell hurt and the playoffs. You said the guy once a long, long term deal two years, three years. So you sitting up looking at having a guy like Odell out there if he's ball at the time, saying, yeah, we for pay this guy X amount of dollars as well, and the neuis believe

it's gonna happen. I don't. I don't see it, but I do believe that Ceedee Lamb could be that guy once again, like I also believe that Amari could. We just couldn't make it happen. Is what's missing with CD. I'm not sure we also we all know that is not playing as well as he should. But once they once that gets there, I need to see Ceede Lamb be able to put up thirteen hundred yards in the season,

seven eight touchdowns, something like that. NBA true impact player that defensive coordinators can't sleep at night because they think about how they're gonna stop eighty. And I continue to say this, I got drafted. I was here when D's Bryant was here. I just saw a photo of Dre's Brian being covered like a damn gunner. They had two guys out there trying to jam him up because he was on store. Defensive cordiners like, how are we gonna do this? We did that the Calvin Johnson. We did

that when I played against Calvin JOm. We're gonna put two guys out there on the goal line because we need the jamming up. I just need to see that type of stuff for you don't have to get a double team like that, but I just need to see him be an impact player like that to where defenses have to lean toward it. Got beasts. I'm just saying, I'm just but those guys no, no, no, I feel you. I feel you, And they may dance wait for a minute, Yes, yes, yes they did, they did. We got to hit a

break here. And this is this is an interesting question. What you guys think about this When it's time for CD to get paid, do you think they will franchise him since you're talking about just okay, are you meeting the numbers that for the contract you want? You know, we just saw Dalta Schultz get franchise. We've seen Dat get franchise. You've seen Take Lawrence get franchised. Um could CD Lamb get there? If he does not become the

number one? We think, let's take a break, think about it, come back to do that, Jerry Jones says, Odell Beckham Junior's coming here, said to down and uh, I want to get your take on that as well.

His church got back

to us with his pick yet you probably probably hidden. Okay, last segment, we will pick uh cowboys at the Jaguars. I'm gonna go down to the game. I gotta flight tomorrow to go down to Jacksonville. So, um, getting the flying Iguana is on the list, man, I ain't going is on the list, So yes I will I uh Now, I need to figure out how far it is from where rat But he says right next to the close to the state. I don't know where. I've never I've

never gone down to a game in Jacksonville. The last time I was in Jacksonville was in the nineties, driving through, So it's been a minute, you know, and the whole city change. They didn't have a team last time I rolled Tokay, they had payphones when you rolled through that thing. Yeah, yes, yes, I used the phone. This guy, this guy, so you triggered, you triggered the memory for me about payphones. So when when I was online and make it SAT five. You

would see Penbroke is near the South Carolina border. So what they would do, hey, can you saw your money? It basically was a trick that all the fraternities would really do. They drop you off as a place called South of the Border. If you ever drive down ninety five, you'll see all these crazy billboards from the place called South of the Border say drop you in South Carolina. They give you a quarter. It's a long distance call

from South Carolina North Carolina. But if you walk across South of the borders right there on the state line north, because you just walked right on over, it's a local call na get yourself phone. So they didn't tell you. They didn't tell you. You You had to be smart enough to either know right, thank you, But your your key was knowing that other fraternity is another different that Hey, this has been done before. Have you at least gotten your intel from other people? So, but that's the trick.

Well across t how many people walk going home? Uh, I don't know. I don't know. I just know that brother had across the street. Luckily I had smarter people around me. I ain't you know, we will be homing yeah, yeah, no, look no, yeah, no, you couldn't pay nobody to use a pay phone. Right now, man, you see something hanging out like hopefully your children will will your your child will not be like mine, which she'll say, was that back in the nineteens, Dad, Mine'm gonna say that she too,

back in the nineteens. Yeah, back in the nineteen Yeah, that was back in the nineteens. Yes, there was a there was a phone, and there was a chord on it, and oh yes, they'll they'll, they will ask you questions if you know what, man, I love those conversations. Me and my wife have those about call waiting and having to you know, somebody called waiting. Imagine that, you know, having a house, having a house phone and having to get off the phone because your mom Matthew used the phone.

Don't tip the phone, like pick it up to I need some things that just don't happen no more. Man, back in the day, you are you are correct? So yes, and nothing like telling my kids, no, I don't have a cell phone to trade yet phone of like no, there was no, there was not indicted. So so yeah, that's depressing for kids, man, You know that that's depressing can you say that there's no Google, there's no YouTube, there's no email, there's none of that. Tell him, my gang.

I remember when ESPN was invented nineteen seventy nine, heard story how y'all used to do fantasy football or whoever played back in the day. They have to get the paper and go add the scores of do it all the self. I was, I would have never played. Yeah, I was how I did in La man, let's wrote it out and think we had we had three we had overall defense, run defense, pass defense, so we got you know, so it was yeah, it was a whole bus.

So you just had to wait till my man Pat Decker came back and let you know, like I know, I scored a lot of points. Did I win? You come? They go? There was no there was no My first job, my not my first job. It was mine one two fourth job and TV was working in Los Angeles. I didn't have the internet. Yeah internet, man, oh man, Yeah, bro was like a fight. That was like a fight. I was alive on time was when it wasn't in

it like internet like that. But yeah, but y'all, I mean newly sorry, heck you, I mean I mean it's so good. I'm just I'm just heading out like my age. Hey newly those things like when you when you come up doing that time where it wasn't in the internet, It's like you just did what you had to do. Things are just so much easier now with const of it, so it's not a buss. You know how to get get around things, you know how to manipulate the system

to make it work. On nineteen ninety two, I intorn from from my boy Mark Curtis, ktv I and Saint Louis. They had a sports ticker where the little thing would come up there and bottom of the first Pirates three brave zero. Wow, look at this, And that was how we found out. That's how we were finding out about the scores come across ticker. No Internet, nothing like that. Boom,

Hey guys, yankee scoring. Now you could turn on the television if they had the cable package, so you don't or sure some television station didn't had a full cable package so you didn't have to wait on ESPN Highlight. But the sports ticker was immediately giving it to you right there. But no, this, no this, let me ask you this, when did you get rid of your AOL.

I never had a you know, okay never. It's a lot of people, the people that I find that still have AOL accounts, give me that is the real cynical stuff. We just keep an AOL account. I got one. I haven't. It was it was Yahoo was the first account I had. It was Yahoo, and then they tried because it was through the radio station. So the radio station had all these deals on Earthlink dot Com was one of them, and Yahoo was there. But I never got to AOL. Um. I was always I was usually late the tech game

on stuff. It's like, oh, well, what do we need to do? This is what you're like. I'm like Twitter and Facebook got my my guy like you know, no, I mean Dow we go do this? Did you give me your phone? Okay, go do this this. That's that's normally how I gotta. I have an Instagram. I don't know how to post on it. Well you still take tech savor. Now you got two phones? Yeah, you have your personal fay man, that's how that's how. That's how tech savy you are so so yeah man, this is

but this is this is too. They knew it. Please all right, um, Jerry wants Odel Backham Junior says, Odel Beckham Junior is coming here. Our guy, Nate Newton is like, no, no, I know you're down with Odell. You you're here for it. I'm not here for it. I'm not I'm not I'm not here for it. But you know it's what Jerry wants. So he says he's coming. I expect it to happen. Um, oh,

hold on, I'm confused though. So we just had this long conversation about CD and and trying to figure out about number one and being productive and all that stuff. You got a guy who we know to be productive when healthy, we know can make some real noise on any team that he goes to as long as the quarterback is somewhat serviceable. Right, So one half away from

I'm just why not? I don't understand you brought t Y Hilton in nobody complaining about it, so why would you bring Odell Beckha Man, you gonna be a circus. This is Dallas. You don't think that. You don't think that Odell and Jerry right now having so much fun with this back and forth media thing. O'Dell posting guy got a bigger plan. Jerry going there and talking about yea, Me and O'Dell both want to keep it alive. They

enjoying this. Jerry ain't worried about this. What you know is what we talked about with CD is that when this dude is healthy, impact player, there's a defensive coordinator on the other side of the field saying, man, how are we going to defending this guy without giving up something else on the other side. How can we load the box with eight and then still make sure that this dude is covered if we play cover one, that's what you know you're gonna get out of the dude.

We don't know we're gonna get that out t Y Hilton when you used to. But this just last year, actually this year, we just saw O'Dell garner that type of attention. So why not? Why not? You said your quarterbacks struggle a little bit through on the interception. Find you a guy right who's gonna who knows the concepts, knows where to sit them, sit down that in a zone and can give the quarterback an easy target. Who's that guy? Odell Beckham? And that was the question. That

was the thing that I was talking about about. CD was exactly what you just said. About t Y and about what Odell Beckham do those guys that know those little nuanced things in the game, and why does CD not have that? We forget sometimes that he's just a third year receiver. Why hadn't he learned that? Why didn't he pick that up from Amari? Because that was one of my Maari staples. He could do that easy than

a lot of receivers find those little soft areas. And if Odell can do that, if Ty can do that, I think he helps this team right now because that's where Dak is suffering. I mean Justin and Justin and uh In Jamar, they do different beasts. I'm saying that first round, first round is I think O'Dell got the talents to beat it. I watched him in college. I just haven't seen him do it. You mean CD, CD, and C said Odell. I'm sorry, I know, and I'm sorry I believe CD can't be somewhere in the in

the bark with those guys. He just I don't know. I don't know what it is. Yeah, I really, I really don't. But going back to what you're saying about Odell, to me, I think the biggest waste of time is he can't contribute right now. He can't. And that's that's the only thing that kind of throws me off, is that we can't get anything out of him tomorrow Sunday. And I understand, like you said, when healthy, that's what Jerry just said. I said, we not even think about

doing it. Hey, I get it. We came into this season saying, man, I think we need a little help at white receiver, and everybody was saying, well, Jalen Tolber can do it. That didn't materialize. Uh, that was it Austin whoever? The kid that we had number three, I can't think his name, amazing Houston, excuse me. Then this Houston I got him Aston and I was like, hey, no, Dennis Houston. He couldn't contribute. Something was going on at the wide receiver position where we felt like we needed

to get help and we never got that. So I just that's where the I guess the big question mark comes in where we ask ourselves, like these guys are evaluating We've bought in t Y Hilton, we haven't done anything with Cavante Turpin at wide receiver. We're anticipating Odell Beckham being signed, but he can't help us now. But but but this is what Jerry said, We're keeping it alive. We understand right now that Odell can't do do anything

for us. He even talked about next season. So I'm just saying, if you have a guy who in the future you know can help you before you let him go somewhere else and be healthy somewhere else and be an impact player somewhere else. Yeay, man, get him on your squad. He signed them today, letting him play this season?

Not sure. Jerry did mention the playoffs though, So if he's mentioning in the playoffs after he already said that we're worried about his injury, then somebody over there saying, you know what, give him a few weeks, give him a month, and then maybe he'll be ready and then you guys can revisit this. And if that's what they're waiting on, that means when they signed him, I believe that he's going to he gonna be out there. Yeah, that's the biggest That is the biggest question. How healthy

is that need? Has it had enough time? The rookie that came in from Alabama, Jameis Won't Williams, that can't place for Detroit, blew his ACL in the in the playoff game and just came back last week from Detroit first catch touchdown. This is a kid that asks, I mean you talk about explosiveness power. He is going to be a difference maker for Detroit if Vodell Beckham could come back from that ACL just like that, knowing what his history. I'm with you, I'm with you. But it's

rather be out there about the t Y Hilton. That's what you rather see. No, no offense to the god. When he was in Indianapolis, man was baller. Yeah he wasn't Odell. Now, I don't care what you about. I seen Odell this year, this calendar year, twenty twenty two, go out there and beat one half away from being a Super Bowl MVP. We're talking about Nah, I don't

get him. We ain't figuring it out the receiving. I mean, you rather just not pick nobody up ever and be like, hey man, we got to do we got to do who When he gets to what Dion said, I'm bringing my own luggage. It's Louis too. It's Louis too. Don't even worry about it. It's some Louis coming. I'm old. I'm old enough to remember when Dion did come here.

I'm old enough to rememberhen Dean was to San Francisco, first brought that swagger, helped them win a championship, then came over here and brought that same swagger help doing championship. I do not believe that this is going to happen based on just what I'm here. Hey, how's your need? He told Michael Parry four five weeks away, four or five weeks away from what just playing getting out here getting I'm not expecting to see the guy that I saw so Fi Stadium at the super Bowl. That's fine.

I'm not expecting to see that. Don't matter saying about next year, I'm saying it don't matter. I'm just based on what Jerry is saying that he's saying. We know the dude ain't healthy, but I'm still looking at having him here on this team for our twenty twenty three seasons. And people are acting as though this guy's about to drop down here and be like Dion was. That's not about to happen. He's not about to drop in here and have an impact the way Charles hayleyway, what about TiO?

What if he can have an impact like till I don't remember what TiO did? What remember? I don't, I don't, but but I mean your player. I know Bill Parcels like the player. But back to the the be Odell Beckham Junior. I just feel like this is Jerry selling a lot of sizzle. But we listen, we're not looking for him to have an impact. The Charles Hayley and Dan saying to said, we we we, we apparently have a number one receiver, the dude, we need a contributor.

Do we need a contribute or not? If the guy can come in here and contribute, why wouldn't you Why wouldn't you take him? We nobody looks If they expect him to come in here and take Cede Lamb number one spot, then there's an issue with Cede Lamb. I think him then at a number number three receiver and then if he's healthy, he's gonna easily move up from that. Anyways, But if you got Odell Beckham, a Ceedee Lamb and a Michael Gallop, if you're starting three receivers, ifs ifs,

there's a lot of ifs. If it's a lot of ifs, ifs, if we sign them in the in the off season, or in whenever it is. Whenever, if they put if they want to say, hey man, we're gonna wait to put him through our OTAs, our our rehab system. I would train the camp and see what see what he does come in twenty twenty three season. I don't see an issue with that. All right, guys, let's take a break.

Okay, the Jaguars are hosting the Cowboys and Jacksonville is a four point underdog. It is a noon game on Fox. So Church has a twenty four twenty one Dallas Cowboy victory. I thought he's gonna pick Jacksonville. For a minute, he was leaning. He was leaning to he real close to jackson cover. Yes,

so he feels, you know, I'm okay with that pick. Though, I'm okay with that. I am going twenty six twenty three Dallas. Brett Mahurt with a big day, big day, big big day, and your reason for the twenties? What do we do to get twenty six twenty three? Um, it's gonna be a tough football game. I think defensively they're gonna play well. I just think the Cowboys are gonna run football, and with that defense, I think you'll

need a couple of my her field goals here. And I just think they just play a solid football game and get a win on the road down there in Jacksonville. Twenty six twenty three. I think that Jacksonville is starting to play well. Um, so these games, you know, these games are not easy in the just sense of everyone thing. You go have an Indianapolis game and a Minnesota game. Those are aberrations. These are more along the lines of what it takes. Um. And and it's a it's a

road game. And I've never been to Jacksonville, but I've gone to enough Cowboy games that I expected to be sold out. I expect it to be, you know, a cowboy crowd for those folks and who live in Florida, they want to go see him in southern Georgia. And the fact that you know, hey, it's it's it's Mica, it's Dak, It's all all that. I mean, the Cowboys coming to town. Man folks who ain't showed up show up.

So and I think Jacksonville will feed off that as well. Um. If Houston fed off of it coming here and the Lions fed off the coming here, I think Jacksonville home is gonna be be ready to play. They played They played teams tough this year. Um. The game against the Eagles was a tough game. UM. Their first one against Washington they barely so so week UM at Tennessee, Tennessee at at Tennessee. So, UM, you know this is this is this is a team that's it's gonna be you know,

they beat Baltimore. Okay, they beat Baltimore, so, um, but yeah, they got blown out by Detroit, like you said, Um, they played Kansas City tough. I just destroyed, putting forty on almost everybody. So, I mean, I just expect this to be a typical NFL game. Most game, twenty three percent of games in NA Football League st about three points last. So that's why you want me to go. You wanna go, I go. Um. You know Twevor Lawrences is coming into his own. I mean he's a big

quarterback with a big arm. He's smart. I mean you saw that with him coming out of Clempson. He's the number one draft pick in the league for a reason, and he's getting hot at the right time of the season. And Jacksonville they are in the hunt themselves. They are trying to get into the playoffs. Pumping up Jacksonville. Yeah, man, I did that. I did that other day. Get me a second, Get me a second. I didn't I didn't say the butt. I didn't bring it. I didn't bring

the butt in the room. Right. I'm just telling you, go ahead, go on. Give Christian Christian kirk Zay Jones. I mean, they have some receivers. They are formidable. They have a running back and Travis etn that not only is a good running back, but he's also good out of the backfield. And oh, by the way, he doesn't get touched a lot. And so the Cowboys defense, what you expect for this pass rush to be on their

game Jacksonville Jackalls, don't let this guy get touched. The one thing that I fear about this game is third down, Uh, Trevor Lawrence. If if this is like some time of coverage sack, he doesn't get sacked, He'll find a way to scramble out and get the first down. He doesn't use his legs a whole lot, but he is capable of running. And I think I said it in the break man, I think this is a tune up like Tuna fight, tune up game for all the things that

you're gonna see on Christmas Eve. A quarterback that can run the rpo this Trevor Lawrence is gonna be a great warm up for that. Defensively, I think you're gonna have some opportunities. We talked about Dak. I think Dak is going to eat on this defense. I think him and Ceede Lamb the guy we just talked about. I think Ceede Lamb knows how big he has to be. This tight end group has an opportunity to eat against this Jacksonville team. And so for that, man, I'm saying,

I'm going thirty four. I think they put thirty points on this team. They made twenty one, thirty four, twenty one. That's my score. But for all those reasons, now I'm saying I'm giving them credit on that. Did I not give them credit? You shot me when I when I said something good about the team, something about you said it was great things. I thought he was about to pick them for a minute. Nay, you hicked them up. Yeah, I promise you you didn't think that. I'm even nice

and simple man to twenty Dallas Cowboys close game. Oh absolutely, Like I listened for all the things you said. I think that the Jacksonville Jaguars are one of those teams very similar to the Detroit Lions, that are getting hot at the right time. They figuring it out. You said, they're figuring out this Doug Peterson system. It usually takes a few a team a little bit. Trevior Lawrence number one draft pick, all of a sudden he's starting to look damn good. And I think that they're going to

give us a tougher test in Houston. I think we are going to rise to the occasion. But I think that right now Jacksonville Jaguars, the team that they were at the beginning of the season, they're a lot better than they were and they're gonna give us a fight. Twenty seven twenty, our defense makes a big stop and we win the game. And that's how it's been a lot of times this season. Yeah, um, running footballs could be interesting in a ten is past. A couple of

games have not been what they were earlier. Um, so be curious to see how they try to run the balls. Also is throwing the football? Um this past defense is uh, it's still they're retooling it as you've You've had losses here. So I'm gonna be interesting, men, But I expect a close football game. That that's that. That's where I'm going. But you guys got basically you got this. You know seven that's a touchdown, You get boy one, you got them.

You remember the Philly The game I'm trying to see is how we lost the Philly very close game and then all of a sudden, we pull up, we pull them with it, and I think it's gonna be that that type of game, which why I stole the score of twenty seven twenty I think I think it's gonna be that same fight. Okay, all right, gentlemen, Well you

know what time it is? Hey, man, If y'a don't know anything about Texas high school football this weekend at at and T Stadium, and there's a lot of teams from right here in North Texas that are playing for a state titled south Old Cliff High School. South Old Cliff, that's my hood. They are playing in the state titled Duncanville is playing De Soto is playing. Man. I'm telling you Texas high school football is on fire. If you

don't know anything about them, telling you missing it. But aside from that, on Sunday, Cowboys, nay, I hope your feet win. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
