The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is the Player's Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts, Barry Church, Danny mccraig. Heck Ma Harrison and knew He scrugs. That's right on a Thursday, right here, November to ten on the Players Lounge. Heck my Harrison standing up the way people on Barry Church. Now we're gonna sit down. I sweat some I can't

be standing up. Man, Yeah, looking body too. Can't you do something by manet this man? Come in and look at this man? I told him, I said, mcmondway, at least take the jack it out man. He looked like, make it look like church? Deacon man, what's talking about? I'm telling you has to play around for Mike McCarthy because it's his birthdays birthday, birthday. We just he's gonna knock on your door and give you some literature. Very Church, Oh,

Johovah's witness. I'm gonna let y'all ride. I'm gonna stop right now. I'm trying to get in. I'm trying to get in. You're gonna get in. I'm trying to get in, get in, man, you just put in a good word for me. Man, I'll tell you I know some people that's already that. I'm just trying to get what it in you and me both man. So cde Lamb spoke, I just came from the locker room session and he was asked about Old Dell Beckham and he said, man, that's t to me. He said, that's my guy. He

wants Oldell Beckham junior here. Then somebody said okay, well wait a minute. You know it might have been Claims Hill or or or cowbir Watchers who said, well he's considered the number one and you're considering number one having issues with that? He said, love it, I love it. And he said you know what, m G's a number one. I feel like when I got here my rookie year, we had three number ones. Why do you not want to have as many good football players as you can?

So if you were looking for cd Land to fight back to say no, no, no, he's not Tara Lows. He's actually about the team. He's about the team, man. But like that was a was a political answer man, because if the drop start. I mean, if if the targets stopped coming, you don't think he's gonna be frustrated. You had to see and this is something I believe in body language. How do you see it? The way he said it, you're knocking? The way he said it was in that sense. No, the way he said it

was in that sense of you know, I looked. I looked up to Odell like he watched Odell going. So here's saying, here's another cowboy, a low Michael Parsons leading the train. That's all I'm saying, Man, that's who you need. That's what you say, man, you need the real healed the truth talking about again we need this guy. Yeah, we need that guy. So you know, you know what they say, It rolls downhill, all right, So he becomes here, that dude becomes here and then the special teams again.

Full disclosure, I was just in locker room. I wasn't even looking for him. See that well. I went talk to Anthony Brown, talk to Nevill Gallimore, went up to Cooper Rush. I said, hey, man, I ain't forgot about you man. Other Cooper Rush, other people Man tired Art. The only two that came up and then I had a good conversation with Will Grier. Hold On, you went, Cooper Rush, Will Grew you ain't talking to Noah. Okay, Man, Nor was right there. No Nor was right there, and

you passed right by Nor. Here's the thing, all right. So with Will Grier, somebody had told me Tuesday, and I want because I want Will Grier to goes. It's a lot of times, man, if you talk to a dude like Will Green who played in West Virginia Juice, they can find out information for it. So Tuesday I had somebody telling me that, hey, man, Jimbo Fisher may want to get the West Virginia because he tired of dealing with everything at ain't l the heat because you

know he's from West Virginia. I was like, so I'm like, hey, well this is just what I'm here. Would you want him? He's an old man. Oh yeah, I said, well, do me a favor. Push out some calls because you got juice to I don't have, you know people. So that was why because Will was walking by plus in wheel from North Carolina even show North Carolina, so you know we're gonna talk to me Carolina people. But anyway, so then I looked up and I had to go, and I saw Jeff Chidia from from uh from NFL and

NFL dot com, so was chattering. Yeah. So then I was looked at me. I had to get idea else, so I didn't have time to talk to no saw Jayla Tibert walked by. It's like I ain't gonna even ask him. Uh. Seemed like everybody ain't got time for Noah Brown. You know what I'm talking about, everybody and get you see the man. Start of the season, it was bawling. Yeah, let's be let's let's just say. Okay, brother,

you could have went down there. You was already in be you walked down down thirty man, you bet the vetter end. You know what, They're gonna look at me. What is this dude doing? Big dog? You got the juice? But three time, Emmy winner, tell them about three, four or five? Oh, my man, tens end time anywhere. I said, three you got clip that? You gotta clip that, my dad, that's three sprugs that name holds waiting here. I didn't

have time to look for Noah Brown. It seems like a lot of people ain't got time for Noah Brown. We talked about Noah Brown on the media match and they all just missed the feeling. That's what everybody's doing right now. They justn't missing Noah Brown. But but Sunday three twenty five in Green Bay, I bet Noah Brown, if he gets some targets gonna put on the show he does, he does too, I would be done. So

I hope this tight end group does. I mean, I think that's the missing linked to this whole conversation, that people are really not giving no credence a credit to this. This tight end group is bawling. I mean, and I know, like that's that's how we do. Like the free agent deadline, it was like who are gonna get? Who we gonna get? We didn't get nobody. We need to get somebody. We need to get this first. We need look man for all intensive purposes. Why hadn't nobody said a B name?

We hadn't heard ab Oh? What did he too? Crazy? Right? He took crazy? You don't want you don't want? No pause of that? You said, ain't b I think Anthony Brown? No, no, don't think about who I just talked to you. I talked to a locker. No. No, since we since we need a wide receiver so bad, why hadn't we uncovered every stone we talked about it. We're talking about a wide receiver that's coming off of ACL injury. We don't

even know to ACL injuries. We don't know what he's gonna be like when he's gonna be ready, Sir, this is an Arby's serving Antonio Brown. Okay, I don't want what Brown can do for you, that's for sure. Come. The players want Odell Beckham Junior. I understand clearly Odell Beckham Junior wants the Cowboys. He's just trying to get the deal he wants. But the players are spoken. But we'll see. What I'm saying is the players they're talking about Odell, we know what type of player he is.

Do you really know what type of player he is? I mean, he's coming off his second ACL injury, but that's a different thing. You don't know his health. But they're talking about the kind of player, and obviously they want that player that he was and everybody, everybody thinks he can he still beat that guy. I don't know.

And this this is where, okay, the players can have what they well, this is where Jerry Steven will McClay, Britt Brown, Jim Matt This is where they all get involved, and Odell's got to come on in there and show, hey, here's up here, go check the knee out. So that's another conversation. But the players, and that was my thing. We were talking about the players. Let's they want Odell beck Let me just say this all right, Odell Beckham last year was the reason, part of the reason why

the Rams got to the Super Bowl. Period got the end part of it. Yeah, that first half he would look like he was on his way to a Super Bowl MVP. The way that he was playing. He was bawling out all right, a cl injury. I'm telling you, like I have admired him from Afar, but even when he played for the Giants. He is a baller. He is that dude. He all these young kids, every of the millennials, they love OBJ. He's a part of that

necessary what you see from CD. He's like, hey, man, I could play with my idol because he idolizes his dude in a lot of ways. We're talking about a team right now that has everything culturally going good in the on the right track train. You know, the path is great, Your defense is leading. You have high character guys. You hear Zeke's talk about how man who couldn't get into this locker room and mix in and be a part of this nucleus that we have. We don't need

any shakeups. And I think this in a way, it's just one of those things where you don't it's conjecture because no one knows he has thirteen different teams that he has to choose from. And oh yeah, on top of that, we got a lot of guys that's gonna be lining up BC looking for the BIZAC got a lot of them, got a lot of them. So, pastor, why are you resisted? You hear what the players are saying. You were a players because, like my man just said, why shake it up? Why fix it when it's not broken?

Because C. D. Lamb said, why not bring in more people? Why not bringing more good? That's what they're saying. Man. I'm just and you're asking me why not? And I'm telling you why why if it why try to fix it if it's not broken. You're leaning on the strengths your defensive ball because you're running backs ball because because they already made phone calls for Brandon Cooks. They made a call boy Jerry Judy, so clearly they management has

said we need something else. Those are two healthy players. True, true, but this is where okay, and you didn't get them. So now you're here, you know there's a last the last the last shot we got. Hey, is he the missing piece to get this team to the next level. That's a good question, asked the question. Look, they feel they need a piece. This is probably the best piece right now out here. And you've got the players all saying we want what Dak say? What Dak say? Dad?

What Dak say? Great question? He's coming up last, so so so Dak. There they brought out um Ceedee Lamb, Tony Pollard. Then it was going into the locker room and then Dak will come out last. So well we should hear maybe towards the end of the show we'll get a couple of stuff like that. So that's it. But um Church, I just feel a whole lot of resistance, Like you feel like that's just not result Just to me, it's like it's not hostile. I'm just spitting the facts.

The man's coming off of a second acl he's older in age, like are we really expecting this guy to come in and make these plays to get this team over the hump. And if not, what's the purpose a sign on him? And he's already said he wants to make he wants to a place where he can call home. So we're gonna give him a multi year You who, what does the owner always talk about? The owner always talks about being optimistic? What's one? Three? Where's the GM? Where did I will talk to the GM? Then? Not

the owner? We talk it to the GM right now? What's the GM? GM? The GM always overruled by the owner right as we will. I'm just I'm just laying out what I've been told. Okay, I understand what I feel like. You resistant, But I'm just this is the owner. The owner loves him. The coach out there endorsed him. Now you got the players, so knew he the GM what this new it did because because you break it, always break it down. But he says, the knew it.

The GM says, no, you're right, there's a lot. But but knew he knows the owner is gonna over ruler. And when the owner wants something around here, a lot of times he's gonna get it. Let's still and I think we talked about it yesterday. The reality is that this this team scored forty nine points and it's a bearrass team that nobody respects, but still forty nine points.

None the less, you go out hypothetically this Sunday and you put up another forty burger on Green Bay and your wide receiver group, in your tight end group, ball out, running back group, ball out. Do you still feel like you're missing that piece, because I think the thing that you're starting to see is Dak Prescott is starting to get in rhythm with his guys and this we don't have a situation where he's trying to force it into anybody.

It's all in rhythm, it's all in balance. And Will that piece adding old Dell where you feel like you have to force feed him. Will Keller Moore of the guy that we are learning to trust, he's starting to show us, he's starting to show us does he have to do. I mean we're still begging for Cavante Turpin to get some some looks and some specialty plays for him. So I mean everything is starting to come together for

this team. And I think I think where I am man is that we're finally you finally see a talented roster put together. These guys that finally put the defense together. Man, this the culture around here has much improved from where it had been. There are no leaks coming out of the locker room on anything. Guys want to talk about what number Odell potentially could wear here? Um number zero six, he could wear zero? Um number six is available right now?

Um six isn't available? Six available? That's right, six is not available, So seven is not available. They ain't gonna get me eight, can't get nine? Ten gallup is thirteen? Yeah? Uh, we got a fourteen here anywhere in fourteen or fourt okay? Cox for real Cox, real Cox is the fourteen we got fifteen fifteen even at eighty something like seventeen eighty two. Seventeen is one come out from liberty. I can't take it. I'm done. I just realize what was happening here in

this whole first, I'm done. Available man, y'all trying to start, sol, y'all trying to start. I say, I just say it was available. I believe eighties available to eighty eighty two. Nah, I knew it. Stop. Have men come up from behind one the walls getting that's not happening. Let's take a break. Come out of here.

Ob J Man, It's a lot of country verses going on during the break, y'all America. That's all I got to say about that blastemy going on and what stay when happens when the microphones off stays off? The Mike Man, heck m Harrison Barry Church of knew we scrugsday phrase on assignment. This

is the players lets brought to you by Toes. It is Mike McCarthy's birthday today, birthday, Mike, Big Mike always just disrespecting my man. Yeah, you can now right what you mean. Okay, you can now with the disrespect, but you can now everything that happens. You're good now, of course. Okay, Yeah, go ahead, you think go to Green Bay, go check

out on his Airbnb out there. I had a conversation with Jimmy John's yesterday and I forgot to ask him about Mike McCarthy, and just you know, is McCarthy good because so many people are like, hey, look if he goes the NFC Championship game, you know, Jerry's I get rid of him. I get ridm And I've always said, you know, he got rid of a dude who won two Super Bowls, So anything can happen. And granted those

two were getting along in chapter twelve. By the way, that's the book you want that in the book Jerry and Me, But Jimmy, that's the one you want to read. But um, look, the guy's done an outstanding job and this I can say, without without a doubt, Mike McCarthy wire coaching somewhere next year because what he has done here will get him a job. And there's too many dysfunctional organizations right now who could use the leadership that

he's had here. But he's done an outstanding job. It's his birthday today and I tipped my cap and I said it during the bye week. Everything he's had to overcome as a coach to keep this thing going afloat has been very impressive. Well. Jimmy Johnson was on one on five three to fan this morning and they asked the question was about Sean Payton and how he would mix in a situation with Jerry Jones as coach and owner, and he said, man, Mike got you got a good coach.

Mike McCarthy is your coach, and he's doing a great job for those reasons that you just pointed out about the job that he did after Dak Prescott went out. So I think the people that know how hard it is to coach around here, and hearing it from the horse's mouth, especially with someone who won Super Bowls with Jerry is pointing out how good of a coach Mike McCarthy is, so, I just think, man, for a guy that's continuously building this roster, getting better each and every season,

the Mike McCarthy, Hey man, it's just crazy to me. Yeah, I think. I think he's an extremely solid coach man. And he's a guy that kind of put this whole coaching staff together from from what I hear. I mean, he was a guy I brought Nolan and he understood he made a mistake. Fix that by bringing Quinn in and overall with this team. I mean, if you look at it, what were the negatives about this team before he came in. They couldn't start fast, you know, they're

always thought a slower, never ready to play. I think he's kind of slowly dismissed that. You know, last year it was huge with the penalties. I mean everything. Penalties was killing this squad left and right. Ended up kicking him in the butt through that playoff game against San Francisco. Fast forward to this year, they started out bad, but slowly but surely he's made this team a much more disciplined team and a team that has to be reckoned with so as much as you know a lot of

people poo poo on him. It's concluding myself. I have had an opportunities and taking shots on him. But I gotta say, I mean, I think he's done a miraculous job out here, putting the people pieces around him to make this team kind of a well oiled machine. And right now he's doing a damn good job of it. Yes, you know what I mean, man's not out here doing that wasteless clap him fight on that. I mean, the man's out here. Yeah, that was positive, positive from Mike McCarthy. Man,

I got taped. I got taped right now. By the way, I can pull it up what he's saying. Mike McCarthy was the right guy for the Job's you up. It's down. It's down from day one. But we did trick the juice man, you dragged the juice. We did that. We were as we got who that first year we was. But but the man has turned it around. And when I think about players like a Doran's Armstrong, Hey, Doran's

Armstrong is playing his best ball. Remember how dooming gloom it was when Randy Gregory was gone, People like oh no, I mean he was talking like Randy White was leaving it to um, anybody missing Randy Gregory. Yeah, n Randy Gregory doing kind of what I said he was gonna doin't even on the field, Thank you, thank you. Just saw Sam Williams and I'm telling he a big old boys, big man right round him. I was like when I say, I'm like, I'm saying william Yeah, like, man, I d

it is huge man. Yeah, we got some dogs and yeah, especially when you see Parsons, you know, because because Parsons is no small guy, but next to him, I was like, man, some big cash out here. Which okay, that's what Mike McCarthy up. But we need to get bigger guys because you know your man. Mary Nelly wanted fast, one of the little ants, all them the penetrators. Yeah, you know, Paul, but I mean, you know what, let's go what bothered

me about Mary Nelly? Yeah you can if you've got Warren Sap, fine, you can have a small fast guy. It's Warren Sap. You can't give me Tristan Hills about. No, it doesn't work like that. Who's the other dude? Ants? One's wold that's all would all legend in his ownline, ants like man, come on, man, this is this is not it's not cutting, especially the twalking back in the day. That's that's that stuff was that stuff doesn't win in the playoffs because it was getting blowed out the playoffs

a run game here. So Mike McCarthy was also about trying to get bigger people here. So um, I do. And I'm gonna go to green Back. So I'm going to Bay And I did ask McCarthy this this week. You know, if they had a tribute video for you, the fans, if they clapped you, would you welcome that, you know, would you be okay with? And I hope he said he he was like first lapping for me, you kind of you know, you know, he's self deprecating there, but I think it would be appreciated and it's deserved.

How many people win a world championship for your organization. Not many. And despite however he went out, when he comes back, there should be an appreciation, especially you lost five straight games, there should be an appreciation. I remember when Ron Washington the Rangers came back two summers ago with Michael Young have retied. Maybe it's three. He was really worried about the reception because of the way things ended. Man I gave him. He gave such an elevation. He was,

he was, he was just moved by it. And I just said, man, people don't forget when you take them places they haven't been, or you allow them to win a championship they've never been. The World Series went to cook him there twice. Mike McCarthy won the last super Bowl that they have here. That deserves innovation. No matter how you felt about how it ended and all the different things people complained about that man. Put up a ring, put up a banner. He's got a street named after him.

That deserves a round them applause when it come kick off. Fine, but beforehand, then give him that. So let me ask you, just on McCarthy side, let's just say the Cowboys go up by, you know, fourteen point seventeen points. Can you see McCarthy letting the foot off the gas pedal or he's gonna be just gonna rack it up. You're young, you're young, but heck, man, I remember you're gonna cry of kids and fight fire with fire, no mercy, So there ain't gonna be no mercy. Yea sweep the leg

Coo you put Cooper russiish him him. Do you have a problem with that? The lord? No, nothing, No, look look man, you can't first saw okay, uh we thought it was Okay gets the Bears. Next year he got the Bears, you know so? So no, no, you don't. You you know anybody do not not in this league? Mana not in this league? I mean, and you got twelve. How many times have we seen how it ended for the Cowboys from twelve? Okay, everybody died. Everybody's die. If he dies, he dies, So you make sure you kill

him for a steak in this land? Come back, put a couple more. No, don't sit around here there. Oh we're good, And I mean somebody around there can talk to you about how twenty eight three league can go away. So you just gotta keep on pushing it, baby, keep pushing. No, I don't, I don't see. I don't anticipate him back backing off, and I don't anticipate Green Bay trying to

reverse their karma by doing a tribute video. Show that that ain't gonna happen, and especially the fashion in which he went out and the way that he was treated. So come on, can't we move on? By the way Russeul Douglas Uh courtesy of Chris Beam had had a pretty interesting line what he had to say in the locker room quote we suck because we suck. Wow. All right, when it gets to that point, that's the kind of

comment you're giving the media as a player. That's the type of man I hate coming to work every day. That's the type of quote that is like he's getting up like, man, you know what is this really worth it? Like, that's that type of quote, right, he won that you haul up soon trying to get he trying to get down the Florida. Man, he'd have time for that. Yeah,

he ain't trying to do all that. Yeah, man, I mean dude, that's one of those where man, don't let me pull his hamstrain because you won't see me again. You won't hurts about a week away. Now, Well, well this is this is a state Well would you say this is a statement game for the Cowboys? Then can this be a statement game? Maybe in at the beginning of the season you can huh, it can't be. Can't be? Which then? Which one? The game? Afterwards we were talking Minnesota.

Minnesota is a statement game? I believe it is okay, because we're talking about two teams that you're okay, if you be a team that's lost five straight, than what if you know, people are just gonna say, you know, okay, you beat a team to be the Lions. I mean, the Lions beat so but if you and I'm anticipating Buffalo winning this game, he wud Josh Allen with the elbow, So that'll make Minnesota seven and two. I anticipate the

Cowboys winning game. That'll make them seven and two. This is going to be a game to be number two in the division record wise, because Philadelphia at worst will be even thinking, yes, yeah, you gotta be Please forgive me because I maybe I just don't understand this Green Bay. They still have Aaron Rodgers and they're still to me, they're still a dangerous team. I'm not underestimating this this game.

I think this is you have an opportunity as a franchise not only to get this win for your head coach, but let it be known that this is one of the franchises that has when you go back over when we get these these uh these booklets, yeah, that that show like franchise record. This is one of the few teams that has a winning record versue as a franchise. So I mean that's still the nostalgia around the matchup itself, and Aaron Rodgers is still Aaron Rodgers, and I think

that's what makes it so so dangerous. But yes, I feel like for this defense, for sure, you want to go in then beat them up. You don't want to just you don't want to just win. You don't want to pull out a three point victory against a team like Green Bay. You want to go out there and you want to dismount, tole them in defensively. And even for Dak, this is a big game for Dak Prescott don't care what nobody says. Even for these receivers. They could be talking to all this O. B. J. Tal

this is let that be a distraction. If you want to these guys gotta go out and put it on the line because they're under the microscope as well. When you say big game, I go back to my conversation John Man, they're all big. But when you said statement game, statement game with Minnesota also plays into potential home field advantage. So that's why I talked about that being a statement game that you know, if they're both seven and two

and they go out to Minneapolis. This is gonna be a game that's gonna have a meaning along the way for you. So that's when I when you say statement game to me, that's what I mean. But as far as big game goals, they're all big. August first, you had us was in this game, correct, nod? I told you I had Green Baby miss in the playoffs. I had Yeah. So No, I'd always thought this was gonna be a problem here for them. They didn't replace Adams.

Um defensively, they think they were as good, and I personally am not that big on the coach and your special team. Special teams have been an issue for they just having character struggle. And even though you got Rich Bescci there, they're still bad. I talked to Rick goslin Um the other day. I mean, nobody does special team's rankings and goes into it more than he's like, knew either're still bad. It was like they're still bad. So um, the Cowboys are the better team. That was something that

I was talking about too. Uh. I came out of the media match, I said, you know, I'm gonna talk about an area I think the Cowboys are better at and then Claire said, uh, the whole team pretty much like they're a better team. They're better everywhere, and I I just anticipate this team coming off a buy to handle their business and I'm looking forward to Minnesota and what it could be. Turbin gets a touchdown. Um talk to C J. Goodwin and Louke Gifford this week about that,

and they feel like, yeah, it's been close. Screen Bay's bad. I mean, you know, somebody miss a lane, right, somebody not good and you and you know from playing injuries are gonna happen in the game. All of a sudden, you get somebody who's got got to fill in for somebody else's special teams and they missed this gap go over here too much in the BAMS. So I think you're right, I got to speed to do it. I think you're gonna be eating your toastinos the next thing,

you know, Bam, all the way, let's go. The dog has been walked. Yes, yes, walk They walked into Appleton, So yes, UM, I would not be surprised against the special teams unit if they get down here. They talking to the guys in the locker room. This is a confident team, and not in an arrogant type of way. They go out and they handle their business, and I think the head coach reserves credit for developing a culture

where which you know their substance. Too many times we've seen cowboy teams with style and you've wondered how much substance. This is a team that feels we see so much substance with them. You see it by the guys who stepped up as other people have been. Tyler Smith, a Cooper Rush. We keep seeing it. Jake Ferguson, We keep seeing it time and time again. The moment's not too big for anybody. Everybody has faith and other other players coming in doing the job, they're there to support them.

You get a guy like Tank Lawrence who's now playing back to the way he was with a Michael Parsons on the other side. There's a lot of positives that you look forward to with this football team, and I think they go ahead and handle their business this week and then we talk a statement game next week. Man Jimmy Johnson, also in his interview on one five three, said that Michael Parsons the best player you ever seen.

That's high regards because he coached a lot of cats. Man. Yeah, Jimmy talking about five characteristics that he wants in a player, and one of them that Michael Parsons fit.

You know, we need we need doing the twenty three and me things somewhere on we already needed something. Believe that is your family base from Texas. Yes, okay, we're probably not related in North Carolina. No, they're all from Alabama. It was two brothers. One was one went stayed up in Alabama the Birmingham area and the other one ended up

going to Tennessee. So so a lot of times if it's that like a Xavier scrugs for a baseball player, like I think there may be some lineage right there with him. But yeah, but no, we're from right here. Okay, look now we were from here. Man, from here, Texas born and bread. Let's go there, you go, there, you go, all right, Cowboys Packers three twenty five. At some point in time, the Packers go win a game again, Okay,

not this Sunday. As a player, when you see a team is on a five game losing streak, we just showed you. Rusul Douglas his quote to the media, as we sucked, because we suck, we suck. How do you not allow this to be a track game? How you know, what's the mentality that you did you go with as a football team? Give the Cowboys as you go up to greenback man quote this remarkable, Yes, sucker, but no, man, you know, I think you know this team, the Dallas Cowboys.

I think they got a group of leaders on this squad, including you know, Dagging all them boys and Mark McCarthy. He's got them in the right state of man where they don't you know, they don't overlook anybody. You know, last year came to that Denver game. There was a couple of games where they kind of overlooked them, thinking you know, we got this, we got this, but this year it just hasn't been that way. It hasn't been

that way. And they've gotten up and they've gotten prepared for each and every game that they've played in so far this year. So I don't think they're gonna overlook green Bay, especially going to Green Bay and you got a guy named Aaron Rodgers over there who's having a down year, but he can always come through and bite you in the ankle. So to me, I don't think they're gonna overlook it. But when you look at Green Bay as a whole man, they they don't have a

deep they don't have a pass rush anymore. You know, they lost their man. Guy was named Gary Rashard Garry. They had seventeen sacks on the season, he had six of them. He's gone. He's gone. He led this team in pass rush, TFLs all that. So when you look at an overall man, I just think the Cowboys. I think they handle this game and they get it done by halftime, if I'm being honest, even though I know they got Aaron Rodgers over there, and I know he's

a bad man. He is he's a bad man. But when you ain't got the receiving car to do damage. You ain't got a pass rush. Defensively, I think it's gonna be a long one for Green Bay out there. Man. Yeah, I mean, y'all know how I feel about it. Man, I think you got you gotta put him out of their misery. This is a team it's already reeling all

this Aaron Rodgers stuff. You know, as much as I love him, as much as he's had a great career, I think some of the stuff that he's doing in the media, man, it's just putting a bad light on him as a player. And I hate to see guys

mess that legacy up. And I'm not I don't know if he has I don't know if they'll be forgiving of him, of all the stuff that he's done to his teammates until the franchise with all of this stuff, man, But you know, I think you want to go out there and you want to hit them in their mouth immediately. You don't want to waste no time. You don't want to play around with him, you don't want to let them language hang around. Put them out of it, and if it's over by halftime, man, I'm happy with that.

It can't be like Detroit. It can't be like y De Troy. We let him kind of hang around a little bit, a little bit too long, then we separated. If you let Aaron Rodgers hanging around that long, he's gonna find a way. He's gonna find a way to make it a game. So, like you said, you gotta stomp on the next and stomp on the next early. And this is just one where and I yes, the players have to play, but this also comes to the

coach had him ready to go. McCarthy after that San Francisco playoff loss talked about me and I thought the guys were a little jittery, ore a little bit nervous to me. So these guys have to be ready for this game and to understand that there is something that this is a part of the process. But if they keep, if they keep going down this road, you're gonna find yourself in a position to play some pretty meaningful football games. But got to handle it this week and they've they've

got to be looking at it that way. And whether in the bigger question, I think heading into tomorrow and Sunday, is Zeke going to be available if he doesn't play what's going to be the game playing without him? Do they approach it the same way that they did with in the Chicago game and they've had some success there. I do believe that Tony Pollard is, you know, a great back. He can get that maybe get to that eighteen carry threshold. Maybe this is the game. Malik Davis

has to be there as well. But I think you have to see another facet of your passing game open up as well, because look that we're not counting Green Bay out, but I think that they may be more of a challenge than we're giving them credit for. And if Dak Prescott can get stretched and filled with CD, they can get some underneath stuff with Tony Pollard in the passing game as well. Man, I look, this put

them to put him to bed early. Something we haven't spoken about it very much, which is also a testiment of the player. I talked about Dak pretty much all week long. No, he came back from the first game and there was rust, came back second game, look good. This is the third game and he's had a bye week.

We're trying to rest the thumb and get healthy. Let expecting Dak Prescott to go ahead and put on a show, because this is the week to put on another This is the week to put on a show and get yourself once again ready for a potential statement game with implications of home field. You think about it. They got Minnesota, they got Philadelphia left on their schedule. Handle your business correctly. You could be sitting in the top spot. Good with

a bye. With a bye, remember they've changed it around out with the schedule, get yourself a by This is a pretty valuable chip to have if you can take a week off for your football team, considering that you know it's the playoffs and you played and you said, hey man, nobody's healthy at the end. So this is this is a potential So anyway, it's it's it's a whole lot to get to. This is the fun time of the year. It's November. It's three games in twelve days.

Make sure we say that enough right here on the players Hounds. You've got this game, you got Minnesota, then you got Thanksgiving against the Giants. Here, it's a good time for the Cowboys to you. You know, you put three, put three in the bag here this out you know, going to see the show. Both the question and you talk about you know, this is Dak maybe ready to you know, kind of open things up and have a

party out there. Do you think they get away from the formula that has gotten them success and gotten them to the point here, which has been you know, leaning on the strengths and all this. Do you think they go back to reverting to that? You know you could do throwing the ball all over the field. I think you can do both. I think if you run, if you run the football properly and you make Green Bay

have to respect the run. Now you talk about the play action passing about potentially being able to eat out here, and you know, because I mean that too tight end set. You know, if you're running the ball, fine, next thing, you know, two tight end set. You release somebody like Ferguson out there. Man, he didn't want to get rolling. By the way, Ferguson says, he's not a Cowboy fan. He's Raider fan. Says, I mean, I mean a Packers fan. He's not a Packers fan because he went to Wisconsin,

so yeah, maybe he was a Packer. He's like, no, okay, okay, pro shop just sicked up. As soon as you're okay, we put him back up. Now spoke, but spoke, but yes, he's not a because that's where we you know, we kind of had these ideas for story, like oh, hey, berguson going back to Green Bay and I gotta get a bunch of sticks. He's like, no, I don't. Yeah, like, no, I don't. Said so my dad was a Raider fan, grew up Raider fan. He's like, and they're like, yeah,

you wanna play Labo. He's like, he said, we said, it means sometimes going back to Camp Randall where Wisconsin played Madison and Madison and Green Bear, and you know they're not close to each other. So he's like, yeah, it's just it's just a game for me, yea, which was interesting for Church. I just want to say, man, I think that when you go back and look at the Green Bay excuse me, go back and look at

the Bears game. I think what was really effective was that play action, like you just said, effective running, you know, making making it count on first down. I think Kellamore did a really good job of staying balance and not getting away from his playsheet. Um, it's going to be important for them to do that, but it's also gonna be also going to be important to get the ball until your playmaker's hands. For some reason, Uh, they haven't talked about the head to head matchup between Aaron Rodgers

and Dak. That hadn't been the ard I going into this game, but I think at some point, you know, that'll start to be it. And I'm sure Dak is looking for his revenge. He's he's had success, but that playoff loss has to linger. You know, he made he went, he made one a throw from Ain't nobody made a throw like Aaron Rodgers made here in the playoffs. But if I'm Dak, I'm I'm looking forward to the opportunity. And no professional player will start talking about looking ahead.

But they gotta be looking forward to the Vikings. They gotta be a right wait to see him. Hey, Thursday football Falcons Panthers, it's gonna be a barn burning somewhere. A tallet. Just flush Jeff's sick right now, then all the Thursday get They don't even have to pick this one. Look, I'm taking the dirty birds. Then it is man, No, you know what, Man, you dj more the Panthers. You

gotta go get this. Remember how they lost that game, right, That was a game where didn't They just played like a week ago, yeah, like two week almost like two weeks ago. So so this was the plan. Again, that's crazy, right, They tried to do Carolina favor, like hey man, they go and get back in this thing. So, yes, they were gonna it was a crazy throw from the PJ Walker from Yes, from PJ was a crazy throw from

PJ Walker. Uh. DJ Moore catches it. He's excited, He gets up, takes off his helmet flag fifteen yards and then smart move by Arthur Smith and the File because they're like, nah, we're not gonna tack it onto the kickoff, go ahead, back this dude up. So we became a forty eight yard pat which he missed. They're going overtime and then they end up the Panthers loose. So yes, that was two games ago. So they lost that game

thirty thirty seven, thirty four and overtime. Then they got the Brakes beat off the Bengals and I was bad. Now the Panthers get the Falcons at home. I never understood to take the helmet off celebration. I just never understood that one. Then he understand it. Now ain't done. You understand it well, we got. Hey, we gotta rule in this in my house, boy, take your helmet off. Do so make sense of celebrating. If you want to craziness, well you won't. You won't see the light of day.

It's all about me, Me, me say. Do you need to really slow down? Bro? You need to spray something going on that was supposed to be the positive. Something you've been all week, just all weeks. Just sounds like sounds like child to be, sounds like childer beest. Well we had with this man, but we had. Man. You want to pick the game of what the game? Come on? You said? Falcons founders man, Caroltta. Man, why I can't pick wrong? Man? Might as well just go ahead off

the top rope with it. Then, just let's wrap this. I'll see you guys Tuesday. Man, you're a trip Friday. If you people show up at my dog steps, I'm gonna know something. I'm gonna know.
