But right now feeling great. Got to pick up the in laws and a couple of days to bring them in. You know, kids gonna love that and everything's gonna be sweet. So feeling blessed, man, How about yourself, big dog? Man? You know what I'm gonna tell you, Like this be it's been a it's been a trying day today. Man.

Woke up this morning to the news of Franco Harris's passing, and um, you know it's um for me being that you know my uncle is Joe green h. Franco Harris is like, uh, it's like a friend of the family, somebody that's always there, you know. And I grew up seeing this man, you know and uh, man, one of the one of the one of the one of the just nicest people you ever want to meet. Just a great person, always always uh with something encouraging to say, you know, um, and not only that man, you know,

it's it's amazing. Man. This game is given me so much because you know, it's it's helped me. But I've been around some of the greatest athletes to ever play the game. And when I look back on this relationship, man, I've never looked at him like that. I always looked at him as you know, Uncle Franco, the man that's

just around you know. Um. You know, my my son had an opportunity when my uncle got a statue outside we got a statue placed outside of the University of North Texas UM to sit in the press box with Franco. And you know, I didn't tell my son right then on the spot man, you know who that is, that's Franco. You know, I didn't do that. I just he sat down and he talked to my son and he talked her to him about you know what he wanted to do with his football career? Where did he want to go?

What do you want to major in? About life stuff? And that's just man, that was just the kind of man that he was. And you know, I think that you know, from from my uncle, from my family. Man, I'm praying for him. Um, but that's that's a tough loss, man, because he's losing he's losing his friends, his brothers, you know, guys that he played with. And I just, man, it's at that point. And so man, for me, it's been tough. Uh. You know, it's a holiday season. So you know, that

was not something that I wanted to to hear. But you know, at the same time, Bro, you know, I'm in the building. You in the building. Man, I'm in the building. You know what I'm saying that, And uh, I'm here to talk about my cowboys for for sure. And uh, the only way to transition to this is, you know, offer this a god bless FRANKL. Harrison and his wife Dana is his son, uh and the whole you know, Stiller's nation family, Uh to everybody. Man. You know,

Condoles is an R and p um. But I want to talk about something man, that's that's been on me too. I was wearing on you was wearing on this sky man. This guy, this guy Shady McCay. Oh, hang it up, gotta I gotta bring this up. He said what he's saying on television, man, Man, people weren't listening, like people, come on, man, let's talk about it. Man. So yesterday on FS one speak um great David Hellman used to be be here. David Hellman is now Holly HollyHood the Helman.

It's on this show with Joy Taylor uh and Emmanuel Acho. They have a show and speak and on this show, Lashaw McCoy goes into a rendition about Dak pres Scott and says that Dak is asked, I asked. That's that's what he said. And so to me, like when when I heard it, one of the things that I know, you know, hates a't hateresn't hate it, and I expect for him to do that. And that's what it's letting people know that the robbery is real. You've been a part of it, it's real rights, it's bad blood and

you're not gonna get anything. Anybody to say anything positive about the other. But to me, it just kind of it just stood out to me that this man would have the platform to say this about another professional and it's no different from me, ESPN or the other ones that you have players on and personalities that hate on the Cowboys. But for him to say that Dak Is asked to me was just there's a lot of words I can't use. Yes, I feel it, I can see it. There's a lot of words that I can't use what

I'm doing. It's a lot of words that I can't use. But the one word that I will say is that that was insulted very much. That was insulting. And so BC, I mean, hey, I want to know from you man, when you got there, when you heard that quote? Man, what did you feel about that? So I was watching it, you know, I was getting to work out in at

the crib. I'm watching it on the TV, and I hear him just just blurt that out of his mouth, just you know, as soon as he got on there talking about Dak's ass, and I was and I'm sitting there thinking to myself, like he's been waiting to come out and say something because he was off the show for counor. What happened, you know, vacation, whatever it is, but he was couldn't wait to get that off his chest.

And for him to say that, I mean, it's extremely disrespectful and it's out of pocket, like you don't, dude, like you know, you're a professional on National TV. Man, this ain't It ain't like we were sitting in you know, amongst friends, or you in the locker room chilling. You know what your teammates, because I've done that in the past when I'm with my teammates and were chilling. We're gonna really tell you how we feel about a certain player, but we would never go out there and say it

in public or say it on National TV. And the fact that that man had to add as to go out there and say that this man was poop poo trash but the other word for it, it's just out of pocket to me. And the fact that he just blurts this stuff out with no factual evidence to back it up, like you just saying click bait stuff just to say it. At least hellman gets on there and he backs it up with stats. My man's just going out there saying this dude is poop poo trash. Why

is he poopoo trash? Shady? Oh, I could just see it with my eyes. I can see that the eye test. No, man, that's that's that's not I need more to it because the man is far from trash for you to go out there national television and state that in front of everybody like he's just gone, man, that that's out of pocket, and it's it's disrespectful, in my opinion, disrespectful. Neuis welcome to the show. Yes, thank you, Babe lager So, Babe Laufenberger ud given us. He his hat to remember and

it's about his beautiful boy. Um And by the way I listened to the show, I was driving. I was over at TC was signing day and had to get some stuff done with coach Stikes as they get ready to go to the the Fiesta Bowl. I'm gonna go cover the cover this series out there, um Man. What you said about Franco and when I hit you today, Man, it touched me when I saw that he passed away in the first person I thought of was his uncle Joe Breen, who I've been blessed enough. He likes and

knows me. Man. It's it's crazy, man, and but he's losing so many of his guys. Man, and heck and I are at that age. You know the football we love is is because of those guys. Man. You know, Super Bowl thirteen. I always remember Franco Harris running in for that touchdown because the referee got in the way of Cliff Harris. Franco running for you. But but a

class individual. Man, that's the thing about if you've ever been had the opportunity, which heck you've had to be around those seventies Steelers and seventies Cowboys of just how the class overall of those gentlemen. Man, you know, these are guys you know when you when you're mad him and you walked away, You're like wow. And for as great as they were, you would never know it the

way they act. Bro, You're go in this locker room. Now, some of these guys, you make one Pro Bowl and you know this man got four rings on its own. It wouldn't wouldn't even know it, ma'am. So, so you know when you see your uncle man, give him my love and and that that I am thinking of him,

and it is. And you're from Pittsburgh, so so you know the legend the picture of him, the statue of Franco Airport, you know, yeah, and for us the cowboys, for for for folks who grew up on those cowboys like heck and I, um, this is a sad day because you're losing your losing some of your childhood. Obviously you're losing it an uncle, a family member. Um man, just just tough. But back to what shady. First of I never watched the show. I love Dave Hellman, our

friend love Himnuel. I chose my friend. But I never watched those shows. That's not my So what I do see or clips and when when you got we sent the tech chain and I looked at the clip and I saw it, and I just my first world came. Okay, decorum and the whole lack of it as a player to about another player. That's one thing when it's the Skips of the World saying something exactly exactly, you know, but when guys who've played this game, who understand how tough it is to play this game, for guys who

are black, who understand what black quarterbacks go through. When I saw that, heck Man, I just said, it's a lack of decorum. And another reason, just confirst why I

never turned those shows on. I never watch them, you know, And I'm the complete opposite, you know, because this is the business that I love and I man, you know, I want to and that's why I opened a Monday would apologize in the Cowboy nation because there's no place to go when it comes down to hearing a rational voice unless you come on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and hear us break down what's going on with the team, because everybody has an agenda when it comes down to

the Dallas Cowboys. You know, I don't care if it's Many Comes, if it's Dan Olowski, I don't care who it is. Those guys have And my man, Marcus spears, he by himself. Let me just not let me take him out of it, because Marcus spears, he will see he will would be rational and talk about the Cowboys.

I look at we were talking yesterday about, you know, me as a color analyst, how much feel my breakdown and what it means to go into a booth and be on ESPN and talk about talk about this football, football teams and know the inner workings of how teams go. I watch film on this team all day. That's why I feel so confident in them. I look at other teams and I can say, oh, they don't have that. You know, they don't have one of those. You know, we look at our running game. Cee Lamb is capable

of doing this. But when you could just throw all the numbers out, when you could throw everything out and just say nah, he trash And I'm just basically off of what I see. Look, come on, Dog, oh you ain't giving me nothing to fight with you And Dave, Dave, you know Dave, my boy man. I loved Dave to death. Man and he does a wonderful job of decorum and keeping his you know cool because you know me, dog and man, I would have words for that man, because

that's not cool. Man Hack. Going back to what you said, you know when you watch one reason why I don't watch as I know how the sausage is made. Being in TV, I know what they're trying to do. And Mike Hill, who's now Fox Sports, used to be the ESPN, and before that, Mike hit worked. We worked together the NBC five and one day it was a whole cowboy topic.

Anybody might have been Thursday. They were going at this thing with this heavy segment and it's Mike, you know, this is days old, and it's not what you guys are playing it up to be. And he said, I know, but they want to talk about the cowboys. The cowboys are are are their cat nip, and but it's days old, and and you know it's been you know, it's been spot they didn't care, and so manufacturing things about the cowboys is a big deal. So over there now it's

been manufactured former Eagles. Shady hates cowboys. We see what it does for stephen A over here. We're gonna bring it over here and then bam and resulting in Shady, you know, doing what he did with with Helman that little bit of clip that I saw. And apparently from what I've been hearing and seeing, this is a constant thing, Shady versus going after, going after helmet, and the Helmet is now put in a position of defender of Dak

all the time. There's a political show used to be an old political show on Fox News called Hannity and Columbs. Sean Hannity has got his own show now. But it started off as Sean Hannity, the the heavy conservative guy, and and and then Alan Combs he was, yeah, he was kind of a liberal, but he kind of. He just was totally opposite and that was it. And then it became after a while it was Sean beating up on Combs and then officially he got blowed out right right.

But but you knew, you knew what the show was going to be, and so that once again, I don't watch it because I already know. I know how the sausage is made here. How much has been put toward on air or segments about the Chiefs needing to go to over time against Houston, to the level of Dallas beating Houston at the end, it's two different things, in't so,

so that's what it is. Cowboys drive ratings, man. Honestly, I don't know about you, but when I went to the stadium and I saw that this was the Fox game of the weekend, really Jackson do but it's the Cowboys, man, When in doubt, that's who television executive you used to say back in the day, winning doubt, give them the Cowboys. So you're doing these shows, you're looking for topics. Your producers you know what they do, Oh we got a Cowboys.

They throw it in there, and but I'm just like, shady, How how do people actually listen to that like it. I'll be I was one of those I gotta take my hand falls off time. I'm like, what is this because guess what we're sitting here talking about it. It's getting clicks. Low being you know, the low common denominator of the stuff now works. That's it's it's it's we in our society getting turned on that kind of stuff. Oh no, really, even though we know the decorum of it.

Player you know, player towards other player, you know, those of us look at it, like come on, but even look at look at our look at our political system now. Man. The things that people used to say is candidates or you wouldn't even think, or stuff that would not you would not get elected for We're electing these people now. We're electing people who are dumb. We're electing people who come out and say the craziest things of the world.

And our television now and our sports is players who used to have there used to be the line of respect. It's gone out the door. Man. Now I can just sit up here and call you, call you ass and with with no facts, nothing and just just because because I want to. And oh I'm gonna be the former player, So I get the bully you dave hellman because you you know so. So that's the formula. And guess what, man,

people watch it. It's crazy. It's like it's turned into TMZ. Now, like what happened is you know, I mean sports talk shows where man, now they just emz I seen it, He's asked, because I've seen it. What look, man, Well, let's helpless Shan McCoy out. No, let's help him. No, they don't. He wouldn't help Now, let me tell you. Let me let me tell you this. You know what

I mean saying no? He said no, no, let's let's helpless Sean, because what he did was he missed a whole bunch of ass on his way to that because we got receipts, we got seated in address that he could have found him some other ass to talk about, because it's a it's thirty one other one that he could have circled underline and highlighted and said that this guy isn't getting it done for his team. But to go to dak after his winning streak in the numbers that you could go to and say, on third down,

what is Dallas in the league? On third down? What is Dallas in the league a scoring since Dak's return with all of that Cooper Rush talk and everybody game, But they want to move the goalposts every time? Knew it when they want to make an argument about that with Dakers led the league of the interception since she's been back, But they don't look at Josh Allen's numbers. They don't look at them. Well, you can't argue chat Challen, But how can he contemporary? He's he plays, he plays

a position. Who else are we going to judge him against? To hear people talk, you would think that Dak Prescott is still the highest paid quarterback exactly. Not you would think that. But okay, are you gonna go on these shows and talk about Kyler Murray's numbers and what he's been doing Arizona? No, they don't do that. You're gonna talk about all the cash of Russell Wilson got and what's producing the trash he's been No. Are we're gonna talk about Kirk Cousins and and his bag of bag

of money and the lack of what he's produced for it. No, they don't. Dat moves the needle. It's the Cowboys and that's that's a part of it, and this is this is what we do. Hey, let's get our first break in here, um Layton vanderesh, Let's dive into that and I'll raise my hand. I probably haven't appreciated his play as much as I should have. And tell you what showed us on Sunday when he was out the game,

Yes, Yeah, They're all the Yeah, I figured they'd all be a Jerry world. They're out here protecting, uh, protecting story. Michael Parson's not

gonna be practice today. He's dealing with an illness and miss practice yesterday with an illness. So um our linebacker has got some healing up to do there. Layton Vanderesh basically says, hey, it's the next singer. I've just got to work through it. I've never had a stinger. Don't know if you guys had it when you played it all it hurt. Yeah, it sounds like but it ain't gonna always see your fingertips. Yeah, yeah, No, it's not a good. How do you so? How sleeping when you

have something like that? For you see, I've never had one that was like lingering. I had one that lasted maybe a mine like you hit your funny bump or something like that. I had one. I never had the lingering one though, where it kind of just stuck on that and I can I can only kind of still to be lingering like that, your whole arm goes dead. You know. It's feel like you talked about your hand. It's like your hand is literally covered in ants. That's

on five. So immediately just get off the field. And when that happen, yeah you get yeah, you get out of the way. You know. Again, it's there's I think there's degrees of stingers. Obviously the one that he had was obviously on the severe end. If he thought initially that it was his neck. Yeah, you know, so that's that's a whole whole other part um to that. But I think what Tyrn Smith a couple of years ago ended up having to have surgery, yeah, you know, because

of stingers. So, man, I appreciate what you just said about l V because I don't think a lot of people have been appreciating him in his linebacker play for a number of years. And you gotta think, man, he was a part of that Mike Nolan defense. He was a culprit there, usual suspect, and he saw a lot of bad plays being made. I defended him on that though,

did you? And and and On this show? Our whole thing was and we defended We're like, why would you take a guy who's made the Pro Bowl on the outside, who's been dealing with nex you shoes and throw him in the middle linebacker spot. And then in the same with Jailer like you took two guys who seemingly were on a trajectory upward and you messed him up. And now you look at him. Heck in the second year with this dan Quinn defense, and he's playing good football.

He's playing really good, go far good. He's been helping his run defense out a lot, and you see him shutting blocks. He's sideline the sideline out there. So he's having one of his more productive seasons. And we all said going into a contract yet, you either going to succeed or you're gonna fail. And he haven't been on that succeeding side so far this year. So hopefully he can come back because we know this defense is gonna need him, especially with that lackings you know, secondary, they

got a lot of injuries up there. Upfront, Hankins is gonna be out, so this defense needed an lv in there. So not this week, but hopefully next week he can return. And I love this. What I love more than anything about dan Quinn is the scheme that he arrived with. Um I love it. I mean people don't. Ray Lewis is one of the best linebackers in the business ever, but no winding he ever gives him credit for playing with Tony Sarah Goose and Sam Adams. You know what

I mean. He has some beef upfront. And when you have guys that big, that gobbler space eaters that allow ray Lewis to run sideline the sideline, he can be who he is. We are seeing the best version of Layton vander esh because of a Jonathan Hankins. We see. People don't understand when Carlos Watkins gets a holding penalty and you ask himself, how to hell there's a defensive lineman get a holding penalty. He's keeping that guy from

shedding and getting downhill on your linebacker. And when you got a guy that's willing to sacrifice his production in this way, that's what our guys up front it. Look you look at those Diggi Zoor, You look at Neville Gallimore. Those are upfield guys. Those they shooting the gall They get penetrators. That's what they do. Ankins, Quentin Bohannah, those guys, Carlos Walkers, they sacrifice their game so that our linebackers can shed and run. That's that's just the name of

the game. I go back to your town. Two dudes in the Hall of fame Jack him, Jack Lambert and stealing Bro How easy was it? Look it up front? My goodness, gracious, I mean Bro White White else you're scraping all day long, free, free, free downhill just fun boy. I mean your daddy's Christmas cardle should be full from linebackers. Thank you, your nephew, I really your nephew, I mean

your uncle's I mean just really. That's the thing where you talk about putting Harry Goosa and those guys there, Ray could run and get there, which you know smart by by their organizations to realize, heymy this is what you need to get. But man, you get a great tackle Derek Brooks fantastic. You can't warrant sapping and if the booker mcfarre so you you get it right like that, man, I mean with Hollywood and Henderson and man, when you got Randy White up, it's easy to make some blade.

You're able to make plays. And when you don't have that, cats get up on you. And that's what happened. And that's what we saw saw happening to Jaylen Smith. Jaylen Smith, he overcame that dropped foot. We saw the best part of him when he came back from the drop foot, but he was limited dog when guys where he couldn't fight off those blocks and gods was coming down on him because of that drop foot. He couldn't change direction right.

So when that misdirection it was going that way and had to cut back that way, and that guard was already on him. It was like, good night, we'll see you see this play man. You got us, you got us. So many people are talking about the Cowboys e to draft a corner, draft a corner because you know what's happened with Lewis and Brown. And I'm like, guys, if there's there's some beef up front, you may want to think about getting some beef up front because it just helps.

I mean Robert Smith number fifty five on the Cowboys, Uh uh, jim coming, Jimmy Johnson's early bad man. Man. When you have Russell Maryland, you have Tony Toilbert, you have uh Tony Casillus, you have chatted, You've got these guys up front. Man, allows your guys to make Ken Norton Jr. You know, allows your guys to go and make plays. And so in the first round, you know, if there's a big up, if there's a big en

up there. They don't want to think about doing it because Warren sappas the greatest one, one of the greatest lines I've ever heard, the backdoor work without the front of just how much a great defensive line makes everyone's life easier. You think about the Doomsday defense, as you think about the Steel Kurt, and you think about the No Name defense. It was all about up front, Ye, Saxonville, we were all the front. Lais Campbell. That's all you

gotta say, Lais Campbell, good Lord and ye. And then so you take someone like a Jalen Ramsey, you know, already a supreme corner and you got that up front. Now we are right, you're racing dudes. But you know, that's the thing about PF and I think some of the genius that they kind of add to the game. When you talk about how Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey working concert to one another, what is the percentage that Aaron Donald affects the play that gives Jalen rams To

his opportunity for success. It's high out of you, you know. And so that's what the Dallas Cowboys are going up against right now. I think teams right now really have just gone back to the tape and they found those things that really the Cowboys are limited. They found that chink in the armor, They found those weak spots in

that defense, and they are attacking it. At the beginning, I think when we saw the Green Bay game, you were talking about guys on the outside making business decisions, you know, when they were going with that outside zone run, when that counter trait was coming out there, and the age I was trying, you know, and those and when you start seeing guys not well, yeah, they want to pin their ears back and come after the you know, get the sacks, but they don't want to take on that.

They don't want to take on that run. One thing I would say about you, Barry when you played, which was a trip to me, and when I first met you, I swear to God, when I saw you, I was like, damn, you know, because I thought you were much bigger than you work, you know, because you played bigger one of the first one I've seen other old school guys do this. But a safety that would come up and take on a tackle off the gap, a bullet tackle, you know, and blow it, blow a man back out. What I'm

saying they just don't make them like that no more. Dog, you don't see that kind of physicality in the game anymore. And so I think for the Dallas Cowboys, especially in this game, Philadelphia understands that there may be a tense, a twine of these guys just don't want it. They don't want to get ran that and have us come downhill on them. You look at the numbers for the Philadelphia Eagles. They're one of the best running teams in

the game because of how physical they are. And if you go back to the game that we lost against them in their first half, then when they were up twenty to zero at halftime, thought they beat us up?

Vote Dak, all right, that is heck my Harrison right here on the player's lounge got burried church

in here. He is a former Toledo Rocket. I knew his struts and then his Toledo Rockets ended up winning the book or a Tobals twenty one to nineteen over Liberty. That's the game I picked because I do the picks in the morning news. I picked Toledo. And the reason I picked Toledo Liberty's coach left. Yeah, you got the ball smack regardless, man. You know, but you know when a ball game happened in him. Other coaches all out of tag, you know, it's like out of that and

they get the job to the defensive coordinator. He over there like, what am this hold on? Guys? Hold value? Yeah? Yeah? So I was like, man, this this whole thing is, this thing has changed. And then you got some guys like, well, coach, can I come with you to Auburn? You know what he sold? Minds or elsewhere? You know? He said no, ye, can't you go from Liberty? Hey y'all, hey guy, we appreciate. Yeah. I gotta get down here and see what I got. Yeah.

That's why I don't feel sorry for these coaches when when when players have to transfer, portalduces on them because oh it's a new day. It's a new day. You'll trust me. I'm hey man, I was a two school kid and I had to sit out for a whole year after after transferring. So I love the way this transfer portal is working, you know. And I love the fact that these kids are getting paid. To the quarterback

paid the kid from North Carolina. I can't think it's Drake May May five five millions house on the table. I'm not even gonna got a play off four years, Like even when you read up every year, or is it five over four? He didn't take it. What the coach at Pittsburgh patent our Ducey went on the record head he knows there were two schools who offered Drake May five million dollars and and made didn't leave it. Now here's the thing you gotta understand about that. The

Carolina quarterback, his brother played basketball there. His brothers Luke May hit a shot to beat Kentucky one year to make it to the final four and they ended up win the national championship. And his dad played played ball there. Dad was his dad was a football player. So it's in him one more time and they have a leugen I love right. And the next thing it tells you when you can walk away from five million, you got money out already. Yeah, your people's is doing good. Thank you,

thank you. And this is what talk about Mac Brown. Okay, Mac Brown did coach in Oklahoma. He found they found some fun. It wasn't five million, but that way walking around he walking around you walking around from Brown for Texas, right, Mac Brown for Texas? Mac Brown form who yes, but he former Oklahoma offensive courtney for Barry Switters. Okay, we'll just program, Okay. It was always making he found the money, he found the bag. Of course he went to sleep

at night. You know bag, You know right right, he didn't get five million, but he's going to get something. Drake names go to get something. I mean these schools now understanding. No, it's supposedly freshman quarterback. Like that lights it up. We we we know we need to take it. Max Duggan had had somebody told me that he got a raise. He's leaving TCU, but you know they know

they all understand me. Even like when you play. I played, guys were getting paid, but you hated the quarterbacks anyway, because the quarterbacks always got preferential treatment if it got hit. The never got hidden practice. They never have through the same amount of work. You mean to tell me you double down on that with give I'm sitting there, I'm going to school. My mom was backing on my phone cut off, you know, and you getting paid five million

dollars here hitting over. I'm out here like, oh who backs you touch the ground? You ain't gonna I used to hate them boys in college, but hell you mean it was a rough practice. You ain't even get touched. Had just throw a slants. Man play baseball. Guys should play base line, Matthew Angler, I should have picked up a bat. Yeah, played baseball, shait golf didn't do that. But those two man oh heady, yeah, Grandada told me

a million times. So they called me a Keyshan show this morning to go on and talk about the Cowboys and Eagles. And one of the things that I had brought up and spoke about wash Billy. No matter who the quarterback is, and I'm expecting garden Minstershire, they gonna run the ball. So this is the test of the Cowboys. Yeah, you've got you know, And and they now realize every week this is what's going to happen. You got the Eagles, they gonna running football next week and then the end

of season watching they're gonna run the football. So they're going to have to buckle up, strap on in here and figure out how to stop the run. And and this is going into the playoffs whoever they face. Let's say they have to go place Tampa Bay. Right now, they're gonna run football. So so buckle this thing up here, figure it out. But you know, that's what I'm expecting

to see Saturday night with Philadelphia there. Can you expect them to bring me a safety down or do run some big nickel or something like that, because I just if you go out there in the same type of skein y'all had against Jackson, but they they gonna run it up on you. They're gonna run the yards up on you in the box. So can y'all see maybe curse walking down there a little bit more, maybe running a big nickel where you got Bland on the outside

mcquombo on the inside. You're running like a three safety scene because they're gonna run it up if they got that same skin going in the Philly You know, I think you have to mix all of that up, and I think all of those things that you just talked about is on the table. And also Dallas Goddard is back in healthy as well, So that's another part of this that makes that an interesting dynamic to the way that Philly's gonna attack you. And look, I'm gonna tell

you like this, I anticipate Jalen Hurst to play. I think he's gonna play. And the reason I think he's gonna play is also the way that he finished the Chicago game. It wasn't like he went out, he stayed in. He made multiple throws after that. I think Philly understands that this moment Philly has to have home field advantage. This is a win that they need. It doesn't matter.

They came a food and the way that people are starting to well, you know you're resting players on man, that is that that's a loser mentality if you're talking about that at this point, Dog, and then you want that buy. You want to be able to get healthy. That's why teams that came up with the seventeen game season was like, look, we need two buys in this thing so you can get guys healthy. That's why it's when they took it away. They added another team into

the playoffs and only one team gets to buy. That makes the man. That makes the stakes even greater. So I love what you're saying about the box safety. I think the number one thing has to be stopped to run eliminate the big play. Philadelphia has won games on the big play. They live, breathe, and die on the big play. And when it comes down to the playoffs, that's the one thing that you know BC is that teams are going to eliminate the big play. The look,

the air is thinner, the windows are smaller. So even with Jayalen hurts right now, with this hurt shoulder. That's what makes all of this, all of his limitations even more blaring, because dog, you're not gonna be able to live like that. You think, I don't think. I get they're patient enough to you know, do checktowns and take what the defense they nine. They don't think they'll pay, they not. And that's why when you come up against when it gets to the playoffs and you have those

teams that are gonna be keying in on that. If when you come to the forty nine, it's all it's gonna go through the other defenses in the NFC, teams are gonna be keying in on that and limiting the big play. I'm telling you, if you if you look at how Philly's been living, they have been living on the big play. And you know that the limited the big play is not a given in the playoffs. But do we have the back end to be able to limit that big play? You just you just answered the

question earlier. You set the front end. It's gotta you gotta, you gotta get that pass rush there, gotta come up, you gotta you got to read invigorate, it's gotta be there. There's no way that you give Jayalen Hurst time, and there's no where in hell you put Kelvin Joseph on A J. Brown. You don't want to see it. Matchups that match up. Now see eleven trot out there, come one'll check my fantasy lineup. Since you think Jayalen hurts, I think he's playing Henna play. I think it's gonna play.

I do not. I do not see because I think Philly wants to embarrass Dallas. I think they want to, man, they want to put them down. Because this team right now, confidence wise, they shook up this. This is the second time that I've seen them since the Green Bay game. The Green Bay game was one time I was like, man, look at their faces right now. This is the last time. I mean, the confidence is shot right now. And that's why that's what I want to see this team rebound.

You said yesterday, they haven't lost two games back to back. They have to respond right now. Mike McCarthy did say in the press conference, um, right after the game, they expected to respond appropriately in so many words, Okay, we know this was this was not what we wanted. We're gonna we're gonna come back here and get this thing right. Which the response after Green Bay was spectacular. That was a minutes olda right when they yeah, that was pretty good.

So um and to me, the response will just be winning the game, you know all they who cares about if it's by a point or nine or whatever field goal, hell man, whatever, Just just winning for the football game. Win a football game against your team. And they still have some combination things to kind of figure out from their their secondary and just as they get ready in the offensive line. So there's there's things they gotta work of,

I mean, biggest point. But at least he's not just in, hey, we don't throw we don't throw Kelvin out there and hope cross fingers. They're at least saying, hey man, that's not good enough and it's got to be addressed. You can't lie to your room. You can't lie to you guys, know so, so at least they're doing what they're supposed to do. You say, it's about competition, let's go. I did see some coming. I thought about this what you brought up yesterday, and I think this is the only

that's the only thing they can do. Diggs has to travel. There's there's I don't see them playing it any other way said today, I said that today on the ESPN radio. It's based off our conversation. Yeah, on the players, so I said today, like I'm going to travel digs. The rest of them are too little digs in AJ brand, they're too little. There's there's no other way. No, there's no because as you line up, especially if you're in man and guy's traveling with a guy, then yeah, we

know where what we know what you're in. But when you're mixing this thing up all across the board and they find that, oh oh yahs, o oh y oh is it mquama will you buy? Oh? I mean that's all that they're gonna be looking for is to match up Nightmare and again Dallas god A being back. You have to understand that's gonna be something that our linebackers haven't been the best. Anytime you find forty two by himself on the line, I mean obviously it's a matchup.

You know min you you know he had gunslingers, he'll put that there. Meant you look for me. We saw Trevor Lawrence and what what what they were doing with that in Ingram So there's no reason why you know, if you're if you're mint you or hurts you don't look okay, where's God or that? Let's just let's try to find a miss. You know, it's all about trying to find miss Matt where so um the expens to come up big. But despite all that, you know, we sit up here and we talk about we talk about

it and it looks like gloom and doom. And that's when the Cowboys went. You know, we think Jacksonville and it'll be all right. Houston gona be AFC South O, the Classic, the cut, Classic class you went, you know you were two or three? Two out of three ain't bad? You know, meet low song three man we go, what will will McClay out here? You must be side. Rice picked up a quarterback in the transfer a portal, So yeah, Rice are has a quarterback. Daniels. He's still balancing around.

This is fourteen. Yeah, he's been in he's been in Cowboy US for USC, then went to Georgia. Started three games on the team that won the national championship, but Stetson Bennet took it over. So then he left went to West Virginia. They were they were good this year. So now he's going to Rice. Man you better watch. I'm telling you better watch that Rice program. They have a kid. They have a kid from right here in Frisco.

That's pretty good too. So I I just really would love to know where's the degree from you start, you know, you starting? I mean anybody who's who's transferred, you know what's transferred, University of University of Phoenix over there, just you know, university. Larry Fitzgerald's doing some endorsements for them back in the day. So so yeah, Barry Church, yes today,

heck Ma Harrison, good stuff today. And once again, um our you know, our our our thoughts and prayers out to your your family and especially your your your your uncle uncle Joe Green as Franco Harris has passed away.

Uh teams of the seventies and those two teams man. Um So, another part of of our childhood is leaving
