The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is the Players Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts Barry Church, Danny mccrai, Rit Johnson, and Newi scrugs. Alrighty, here we go. Here we go is Tuesday, players Day off, but the Players Lounge is in effect. I am Newis Scruggs, longtime Cowboys reporter, joined by Britt Johnson, news member of the team, and the survivor man himself.
He is Danny mcraig, former Dallas Cowboys safety. He is on this episode. I should say the season's Survivors Show, episode number one, coming up the twenty second correct correct forty one on CBS eleven locally, So make sure you check out d mac doing his thing. He's on the or he's having a watch party. So I'm wondering, is the watch party because you know you're going to be gone right away, or a celebration of you doing some good stock. You know it's possible. Yeah, but I don't know.
These lips are sealed. I cannot say, y'all hear that survivor I did not give away anything. Look at some information over the course of the weeks. Y'all, y'all get it on Wednesday, Okay, looking forward to me? I am, I am looking forward to it. Here Burry Church on assignment right now. But we'll catch up with Church here in a moment. But you want to start out with an apology, Uh, go ahead, it's ahead. Do you want to start list It's both, it's both. Oh yeah, listen,
open the door. Open the door, because because he needs to be a part of his apology too. All right, so I'm I'm gonna go first, and I'm gonna say listen. D Q came out, Dan Quinn, he came out yesterday. He said that Anthony Brown was supposed to have help over the top on that touchdown to Antonio Brown, we said false. After going to review the film, we found
out that was true. Okay. They were in two man, which means all of the dbs and the linebackers are playing trail technique, which is behind the receiver that they're covering, trying to stop them from running any comeback routes curl routes or inside routes, and the two safeties are over the top. Help so anything that goes over their head, the safety is supposed to be able to make the play on it. We had a safety. I believe it was Kazy who was supposed to be able to top
of that plane. He did not help Anthony Brown. Albeit Anthony Brown shouldn't have been that far behind, but he was supposed to have some help. So Anthony Brown, I Danny mccraie apologized to you for saying that you got beat in man to man one on one coverage because you did not. Man, I thought I was gonna miss this section hoping, but yeah, man mcraid basically just put it all right right there for us. I mean we
after the show, we kind of thought about it. Now, let me let me take the look at the all twenty two, which means we're seeing from the sky view of the whole play. And as you've seen, they were in twenty two man or two man and Anthony Brown should have had help over the top. You gotta know your personnel. O Casey's gonna gamble, but he did supposed to have help over top, and so I Barry Church was completely wrong for dog and my boy Anthony Brown
out like that. He should have had help over the top, and uh yeah, I was completely wrong about that one. So I understand dan Quinn when he says there would be no personnel changes, because that was one of the main reasons when I would say the man might might be in trouble this season. But he played the coverage I was supposed to be played. He just didn't get the help that he that he needed and hopefully this
this game he gets that help. In that situation though there, how would you react if he was to Ques He was ab right there and you knew you was supposed to have safety help over top. You've seen what happened. You know he got He looked like he got burnt crazy on national television. How would you feel in the as a corner in that situation. Listen, listen, let's go here. I would be upset. I would probably be pointing making sure I see that it wasn't That's what I would
be doing. But I would say that you're supposed to be over the top. You see it all the time around. But but no for listening. But listen, I'll respect to Anthony Brown because he did not come out and say a word, didn't about that blown that blown assignment by the safety, So shout out to him. I love to be his teammate. Couldn't have been me, Well, i've been we don't we don't have locker Do you think should have said something though we don't have you know, we
don't have lockerom access. The bottom line is just if they don't come to me right now, they only they limit very much who you get to talk to. So it's not it's not like you used to go in the locker room. You just open that bad boy up and you go. But so you see you going to Orlando scander ground. You know that's funny that you brought him up because he actually will possibly be on show this week. A little little guess distaperiance, little distaperance man.
You know, he called me saying, hey, man, listen, when when y'all gonna have me on? Whenever you're ready, man, whenever they said he's ready this week, never threw me on the So so when we're all here, we'll make sure we have him up on the live view and put away and chop it up a little bit. I think that would be a very fun and entertaining episode, to say the least. To say the least, he's still got that chip on the shoulder. Yeah. Man, he got
that tattoo chip on his shoulder. He got a chip, a tattoo of a ruffles chip on his shoulder, saying yeah, well listen, let me tell you something. If that's what got you paid through the lead for what ten? Was it ten? Orlando? He played eleven years in the league with the chip on the shoulder, shout out to him, Man, I got six, I got ninety, so I might give
me a chip I ain't getting. I got some. Actually, those spicy lased deal pickle chips are really really good, just so you know where you find those that get that at Kroger. Don't say I never did. Don't say I never did enough, but I like pickles, so maybe I don't know. I would tell if you're going to go Kroger should have it. But also Albertson's the Cowboys,
you know, official grocery store. I got a I got to That's where I go because you know on Sundays you with your cowboy jersey, you can temper off, so U you want to get. The brand is called Golden Flake and they're out of Birmingham, Alabama. They make a pickle, they make a deal pickle. Pretty pretty good. Now I still, you know, get my lays on, but you know, make sure his man trying to get says no, I met Tom Thumb, I put my jersey on. Let me get If you listen to Shannon grossing up? If you know
where to go with these things? Does anybody promote the branding products more than Shannon? Yeah, except she gonna have it like, you know, twenty bags in his car. So it's sponsored out here hotel dot com. Right, So so, Barry, Barry, where you want to go with this? You want to NASCAR? It's okay, you know, players don't just brought to you by hotels dot Com. Also want to thank freedom lamb. You want to go down too, So you want to add you know, you just want to be like a
NASCAR then you just want to keep adding. I think Nick and Sam's yes, yes, all right, so great. Glad you guys came out us, share with the confessions and apologize. Um, that's well done, well done. Jerry Jones spoke today on one oh five three of the Fan. I'm not apologizing for what I'm about to do, but go ahead. The Hall of Fame own has come out and said that the plan right now is to have one Terrence Steele start at right tackle for Lel Collins, who is starting
his suspension here. And anybody who thought that he was gonna have this uh you know, last second appeal. Something happened. Jerry basically bat out as you guys said yesterday, but
even gonna get them five. So um, Terrence Steele, who I'm just gonna go back to camp and what I saw what you see inuis I saw an improved player off approved from player as I saw as I looked at two as I looked at several second year players on the team, Sean mccun um, CD Lamb rookies who with the benefit of training camp OTAs um improved upon what we saw from all of them last year. Can he handle his own seed in the See Lamb was good last year, he looked better. He got one percent
better as my boy delatoral m Nielson. So they all got better. So based on what you saw from Terence Steele last year and at camp in the second I thought he got better there. That's almost want Do you want to go into what happened? Oh go brut Oh you can. I didn't see I wasn't at camp unfortunately, so I didn't get to see much. And then I,
you know, I did see him play. Obviously last season he started in what fourteen games, and obviously we were all in agreeance yesterday that it should be Zach Martin. But I was listening to, Uh, no, we weren't all in agreement. Oh you you yes, you did say that. You did say it wasn't gonna be him, correct, correct, um. But I was listening to you know, one of the greatest um guys on an offensive line of all time,
Nate Newton, yesterday, and he also said Zach. But he said if not Zach, then he did want to go with Still, because he said that he was a dog, he was hungry, and he was a young guy that was going to be willing to do what he needs to do to be in that position. And you know, we have to give him a little grace from last year. He was kind of thrown into a situation that he didn't even know he was going to be thrown into.
I think he at least handled himself decently like an come to the point, yes, start with Still tomorrow or not tomorrow. Sunday start was still on Sunday, and then if you have to, like they did in a couple of games last year, switch it up mid game, throw Zack in that position, because that's something that can happen. But I do kind of feel like, in just how Jerry might have sounded on One five the Fan this morning,
I feel like maybe he's kind of Overcollins. He just seemed like, nope, he suspended, he knows, blah blah blah, And so the NFL to me is a what have you done for me lately? League? So I think that maybe he put a young guy in there. If this is something that could possibly be a permanent situation for the Cowboys this season, we need to maybe just get him in, getting some reps, in getting that confidence up, in figuring out So, yes, I wanted Zach. If not Zach,
like Nate said, Terrence was the best guy out. Well, let me tell you this, Jerry Jones ain't done with LC. All right, they paid him and and somebo he's able to get on the field, because what we've seen is when he's available, he's a really good right tackle. All right, But listen, let me because I want to get on still. Okay, I'm gonna get on steal because I'm gonna read this.
The short paragraph for that sums up still season last year, all right, So he did he was he got picked up as an undrafted free agent here, signed here in April, all right, so he had some some expectation that he may be playing. All right. So season opening against the Los Angeles Rams, he's able to hold his own until he gave up a sack, uh you know, in that contest. The third game against the Seahawks, he was replacing the
third quarter by Zach Martin. In the fourth game against the Browns, he gave up a sack that caused the fumble or proves it proved to be the game change to play in that loss. He was benched in the ten game against men Consota, with Martin taking over at right tackle, and the eleven game against Washington, both Martin and Irvin went down and that made him get back in the game. All right. They do finish by saying he improved a little bit from there. That's a rough,
rough go at it. Are you worried? Are you worried as all as you are you worried? What do you think Joey Bose is doing right now? He's looking at chops right now. But I'm telling there's two things that can happen in this game. Two things. Either the worst situation where we haven't evolved as an offense and as a team, and we're just gonna feel like Terren still can go out there on an island and hold his own out there, like we saw a couple of years
ago with who I forget who was that? Who was that tackle we had here a couple of years Yeah, that Clayborne went off. We left him Chad out there on the island. So we haven't evolved since then, then we're in trouble. But I tend to think, you know, Kellen Moore maybe evolved as a coordinator and maybe got a little bit smarter and realize this, Look, I got Tern still out there. I need to help this do. Look Tyrence or Terrence Tyron Smith makes a lot of
money as that left left tackle. He's a premier left tackle in this league. I say, you know what, this is your chance to just you know, you gotta hold your own. You gotta be by yourself out there at the left tackle situation. Hold it down for us. We pay you a lot of money. You're supposed to be a Hall of Fame tackle hold that down. We gotta slide everything towards Terrence too. It may be predictable and the charges may be able to key up on it
and trying to send blitzers on the backside. Whatever the case may be. But we need to help that guy out, whether it's chipping with a tight end, running back slide the protection. We gotta go out that way. We gotta leave time by yourself on the back side. He's a grown man. He should be able to handle that. Because your boy Zeke blocking again. Absolutely he will be so. So going back to what Jerry said, I don't want to fire three the fan. He reiterated, he'll get plenty
of help there. It is so so Jerry said it right there. He you know, I mean, I guess Mike mccarthy'll tell us something too, But Jerry can't about to say, what is the owner of the team breaking news? Look, man, this is this. I remember poor Way Phillips. You know, Way would try to act like he was holding something back and be like Jerry already told us that. Okay,
whatever Jerry said. So so, Jerry says, there's going plenty of help and which we know that's that's what has to be the case because we've seen it fail so many times when they haven't given I mean, look my problem going back to that Atlanta game, but Chaz Green was getting beat, they decided to just bench him and put in Byron Bell, and Byron Bell got beat two. There was no help. And exactly there's no help. I mean, Byron Bell was a backup for a reason. But you
donna think we hold the backup is gonna go do bet? No, No, at the end of the day, stop trying to send four people in a route. If you send three in a route and you send some help here, then Dak's gonna at least have an opportunity at least give your quarterback a chance. And if it's a route where it's just Ceedee Lamb and Amari Cooper, you know what, Hey, beat somebody, you know, go out here and make a play,
You're gonna have to. You're just gonna have to ask your guys to be a little bit better to at least protect Dak Prescott so he's got an opportunity to run the ball. Is this a game? Is this a game for Zeke thea to go ahead? And to eat this game. I mean there are they aren't susceptible to the run. They run a three three five, three down linebacker, three down, the three linebacker and five dB, so they're
open against They're open against the run game. So the I feel like ze can eat this game of work. I mean I said that yesterday. I thought it was going to be a little bit more even yesterday, even just with Gallup being out. I won't speak on it because Zeke is no longer on my fantasy team, so I'm not concerned. But do you think you can eat though against this against this could have ate against Tampa. We watched those runs yesterday. We went upstairs and we
watched his first five runs. I believe they were all positive. They were all positive. So I think I think he can eat against them. Against Tampa. I think he could eat against the Charger. But I think that's up to Kelly Moore And would that be the smarter gameplay run instead of, you know, launching up fifty. Smarter gameplay to me is always to establish the run because you need it at the end of the game, and you establish
it at the beginning. You wear down those defense alignment by letting our office alignment leaning on them, especially when you have a guy like Steele who can get more comfortable by leaning on the boss versus sitting back into trying to block this guy. And we already know he's a serious threat. So Washington had one hundred and twenty seven yards of rushing as a team against the Chargers
last week. That game was in Maryland. Gibson twenty carries ninety yards had long of twenty seven, so they were pretty consistent with trying to make sure they got the football. Patterson had two carres, Jadie mckissic had to carry um not really counting the ones from Heineke and Fitzpatrick who could buy it for four. But they decided to try and run the football, so they had twenty three rushes
in the football game. They tried to make an effort there. Um, I agree with you that you do at some point in time. I mean, this is this is a week to try and run the football. But you know you're not gonna drop back here against the Chargers with with your tackle situation and m and trying and you know, just chunking down the field. But man, I just I'm sitting here just throwing up my hands because this man has got you know, everything he told us, everything he said.
Now obviously all of his fears are sitting here. Comes to it. Week two no less, I mean this week too early. It's still but you know, yeah, but but it's one of those things where okay, now you did you see the tweet I put out there earlier? I sent you how his guy good? Yeah he looks later
the charge. Yeah, this guy looked good. By the way. Oh, by the way, you know the guy that there's many people like Kyle Yeoman's here down Scott was Kyle wanted them to take the offensive attack obs later from Northwestern. So apparently he's looking good so far off the charge so the cowboys we can see him on Sunday, which is you know, you know this the smug the smugness. Listen, look, we get right, I got a nice little listen. This is this is off topic a little bit, all right.
I just want to Magic Johnson was drinking when he tweeted this time we're gonna see Jaleno versus Jalen Smith. No shot at Jalen Smith. But why not say, like Tank Lawrence or something, you know, like, what are we talking about if you if that's the matchup that you're looking for. Don't turn the game off. Man, it's very casual. He's a very casual fan. Don't turn over the game. Were you there when he spoke to the team. Yeah, yeah, I was there? Was that that wasn't there. I didn't
see no magic nothing he was. That was in fourteen, I think, yeah, no, no, it was before fourteen. Are you sure? Yeah? It was about Oh no, it was. I got here, sure, yeah, I got hand ten. He was there. He might have came a couple of times. It was okay, it was ten, then it was ten. Because one of the things he spoke about was taking advantage of your window, your window of opportunity to win.
And then he took a swipe at the Mavericks and talked about how they had their window and they closed because they lost in those six then they ended up winning. It's like, okay, magic King the mask, and that's what happened when you win. Right after they one. You know who was sitting in our defensive room every practice, Carlisle
Bryan had him. He was sitting at the top of the valley rans he was in the defensive meeting room, and he was just sitting in the back as Rob Ryan was coaching and doing and doing whatever you're supposed to be doing. Like they want some championship pedigree in here. That's what they wanted. Didn't work for us. What is Rob Ryan doing these days? I don't know those brothers on TV A lot, yeah, a lot, But I don't know what Rob's doing these days. I haven't seen lately.
Was like even I heard this, I heard his voice. Uh, Sunday, I believe I don't know what what short was on, but he was still doing the TV. Okay, let's hit a break in here.

Every day, weekday, twelve thirty pm Central Time. Barry Church the Toledo Rockets number number forty two and the original forty two the original. Okay, just let y'all know rich shots. I wouldn't have got Bulldog Fresno States, just saying California Ia in the house. Yes, and our favorite LSU Tiger the Survivor himself, number forty, Danny McCrae. I ain't no, he did it. Cb Win got the shots fired, thinking I don't know where it came from. I don't know where.
It's just like hate. It's just like I don't know where it came from. Like sometimes I said something incorrect. Will Griers, I apologize to you, but I tried to it was it was two point eight Will Griers. Uh qbr it's very low. I was just saying, I don't just elc. I love you. Actually didn't fail. You just didn't show up, right, I'm won't. It's this, it's this. It's disappointing, man, because like you said, I really like Leahill, like me and him know each other, you know, we
see you know whatever. I just fortunate, it's unfortunate that that that happened, man, because it looked like he was poised to have have one of those comeback seasons and now you gotta miss five games. It's just it's just hard. I don't know, I don't found like it. You got to be more careful. But we would have drafted that tackle. I ain't gonna been problem. That's true. Then you wouldn't have Michael Parsons. Yeah, that's true too, because we would
have been a moment taking all our tackles on defense. Yeah, I'm all right. Uh, we would have drafted somebody. We got a linebacker, but I think I think this would have been Jabrill Cox and uh yeah, enjoy still enjoy Still this week's gonna be Jerry City. Yeah. Yeah, he would need five weeks of help. Don't you forget that five weeks CEB. We need the shots fired thing back. My boy is playing slugs on cast. He's gonna be
playing for five weeks, five weeks. I am interested to see if Jeremy sprinkled a tight end ends up getting called up, because if you're talking about helping, um, I'm not sure I want Blake Jarring out here blocking anybody shoals. You don't think shots get on shoulder and there. You may mean, if you're gonna try and run the ball, you may need some twelve personnel out there, right, Yeah, So if I'm gonna with twelve personnel though, I want
Jarring and Shouldzer. What I would you rather have somebody like Sprinkle who got I need somebody to lay down the block Strinkle that when it comes to block out. Lord knows what we saw from you missed that you missed a dB. I mean he did come out yesterday though, on a Cowboys hour and say that that was one hundred percent on him and he is going to be
working on that. He's been doing the hundred catches before and after game or after practice and stuff, and he said blocking is definitely something that he needs to catches. So maybe it'll be one hundred blocks too and after game. And this is why I'm gonna have jar Ones back. I'm gonna have jar Ones back because it sounds like I'd be beating up, beating up on plays. Listen, no matter what happens with any tighten end of the league, you get out there, you're trying to block a dB
in space. It's not an easy block to make. Once again, that's Safety made an amazing play, but he need that was that was terrible? No, it was you know something, But you've made some good guys look like that you've shot you shoulder, you know that. On mean, then they were hardware blocking. He the dude made up like I'm watching the safety and everybody's like, well if this guy we don't even know his name is, don't matter here a football player. He went out there, he shot it
and he made the play. It just it just happened anyway. Just thought, just thought, that's all since Jerry said, then give it out here, I'm just wondering who's all the helper game, That's all. I'm just trying to see who who's all on the hill. We got some kicker hilp. We got some kicker hip I'll see. And they picked up they picked up a guy. They picked up a guy. That's what I know. Now you're trying to get me mad. And I guess supposedly he had a quad injury too.
Who gregg. Yes, So you listen to Jerry, so all these all everything that they're telling you says, hey, my guy, why don't you just take this week off. We'll go somewhere else. I mean, that's everything that they're sitting here telling you. Here was you know, because Jerry's you know, kickers are like like tiger woods and golfers. You know, some times it takes him a minute to get going
and get this. So if he needed some time to get going, if he wasn't one hundred percent, then why didn't you sit this dude down for a week and say, hey, we all know why. Okay, well let me tell you what. And you all know this. In this league, man, you're these games come down to three points or less. You can't sit around here in a four to hope some hope is not a damn strategy. And they went out there and hope and then it didn't work and it cost And what do we looked at about this football
team the last three four years here? It's come down to a game. Ye, at the end, it has come to it has come down to a game. And so here you are with the world champions on the ropes and you can look at the fact that he left four points on the field and yeah, I'm sorry, I just it's been a frustrating thing for me because I've seen way too much of it since covering this football team, way too much of these kickers and these punters and Jerry's kindness towards them to want to work with their issues.
I missed Bill Parcels and Jimmy Johnson, who ran these dudes out of here real quick. They had no time for you to figure it out as a kicker because there's too many people available. It's not how ain't gonna kill your salary cap, my guy. If you were not able to go, then you know it. Get right, and when you're ready to get right, will activate you. But those four points where we saw what it was in the football game. You can't have your kickers and punters
out here shanking then you need them. You keep losing the special team's phase in this game. Because I listen, I watched the game last night. I know who have a hell of a kicker. That's the Laws Vegas Rightness coach Richard besides you, who is no longer here, found a way to get him a kicker to make his kicks and help them win games. Now they mess it up at the end when they know that wasn't him. I'm just saying that thing when they're trying to get
everybody out there to relay it on time. Maybe first I jell grew and I'm talking about the kicker, about the whole, about the whole operation, the whole operation. It's like, Okay, John, what are you guys doing? John, John, what are you doing? Um? Yeah, I'm the game tire. Hey, look, you know, damn. I'm happy for my guy Rich Riches. It's just good people.
But I'm sorry. We've seen this too much with Jerry's been at the Helm as a general manager here with these kicking issues and woes, and to set up here and look, God bless him for the honesty, but I'm sorry. You heard him. Hey, he had a quarter brother. If he's not one hundred percent, what's he rolling out here for kicking sixty yards? He's like I said, we all know why my boy was out there. We all know why he was out there. You know who is Man's You know who is Man's got a bad back, my neck,
game back, bad quarters. Hey man, we need we need you to kick a sixty I don't like you are short. Make sense, seriously, make it make it makes sense. You know that's that's that's the man. You know it is it is And and when you're there, you know that's your thing. Good there at the game and you're seeing Dak do his things, getting it done, and then the crowding Tampa breaks out with the lat School cowboy. I'm like, how about this the home of the world. Champa champs
are breaking out, they're calling Coop's name. I mean, they're in the game, They're in the game, and then you see this guy can't do his part. It's all you got to do your part, man, And and they're believing in the wrong. How do you keep believing that? These two? Let Bret ma her Bret, what are we doing? What do we do? I know, I'm done talk about a soapbox, talk about a soapbox. We did do a little Money Night football, a little talk. Did you guys watch the
Manning thing yesterday? I loved it. I'm sorry, Like that was one piece of content I never knew I needed, but I loved. I will for They're doing pay and Man, Peyton and Eli on Monday Night Football. They're just talking the whole game. It's like just sitting there and you're watching them, and they bring guests in. They had Travis Kelsey, Russell Wilson, Okay, and they do the whole broadcast and they're just chilling on the couch, like talking through the game.
And it was the best thing I've ever seen. I'm watching it yeah, I know, supposed to be supposed to let us talk about the game the way I want to talk about raising Charles Barkley and Eli says that Charles got a better golf game than than his brother. I mean, if you wanted sid, if you want to side kind of entertainer, that's that's what you watch. I tried to watch a little bit of it. My wife's a writer fan, and that thing went click click right on back to the fans. I don't have time for that.
I'm here for the football. And I think it's very smart by these networks to now give people options options. Yeah, that's true. It's like when that Wednesday thing, the Championship like that, when they had Yeah, they're bringing it back on Winnsday every Wednesdays now, the NFL Nickelodeon. They scored a little. It was pretty cool. It's it's the option that the smart thing by the infect is just give
people options. And I thought college football kind of did it first when they had the whole National championship game, got the coaches in it, you know, just giving people different there's different ways to watch, and then how they bring out you know, the home team announced. I mean I enjoyed that. I think that's a good thing to do. Um it just what my deal? Now, plenty of people are right there with they loved it, they wanted it. I kind of wanted more. Lewis Riddick and Brian Greasy
give me that. But I just love the fact that there's options. Yeah, because there's different, so many different ways to consume it. And personally, I don't know about you guys, I hate going to bars. I don't want to watch a game to bar because I want to hear what everybody else has to say. So so there's just different ways to consume football. And I thought that they did a good job and just hey, certain fans are gonna
want that aspect. Here comes Charles Barkley dropping into the game giving you his take, and they're having some fun with it. The first quarter was the worst one with the Charles Barkley because he didn't really know a lot of what he was especially fourth quarter in over time when Russell Wilson was in there and then just hearing like Peyton and Russell and Eli sliding in there a little bit. You know, a little brother can't really you know, match up to the older brother. But like having Eli
slide in there a little bit. It was it was really entertaining. I might take it out. I thought it was gonna put on plus. You gotta pay charge you for everything now part of the Disney package. I'm sure you got that. Only got Disney Plus. I don't have the package. Speaking of the game, Gilbrand Okay, Hall of Famer Gil Brand, Our guy, our guy, gil Brand. Gil Brand came out with a tweet last night. He replied to Trey Wino Tray Wingo tweeted two Lamar Jackson fumbles
changed everything. Then gil Brandt says, maybe the league has caught up gil Brad been hay and since to jump though, I feel like that the same. That's Bill Polly, Bill Pollian. But I just I'm trying to I'm looking at that and I love Gil Gil Gil's my guy. I mean, Gill's definitely been one of those guys I've gone through, you know, many years to just Gil what do you think is get his thoughts? But I'm sorry, did you not see the lack of talent around Lamar Jackson last night?
Undrafted running back back? There? No, no, did you see the offensive line they were getting bullied by by Las Vegas. It was personal night. That was not he could offensive union around him. And I mean, I'm saying, so you're out here with a cape on doing all you can. Nearly won the game and gils like the league's caught up. The league didn't catch up. How about Eric the Costa get a guy some help, the general manager. They should have won the game. This is the same thing we
talked about with that. He set them up to go win the game and then Las Vegas. Yeah, he did his job, but I just I just find tweets like that frustrating because it's a sideswipe at a great player and the great player has no help. When when do we not admit when a guy doesn't have any help? I mean, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan works in basketball, he don't work on a football field like that. I mean, the guy did all he could. Still not even don't make sense even if you say you don't have help.
He changed the game and they left the field with the league winning. Then they don't have any players on defense because they all injured. Like this dude did more than you could have asked of them. They missing Peters, they missing they got three a right Humphreys out there by self. He's out there by self, but you know, he get picked off at the zero covera different levels.
I hate differently hate when coaches call zero coverage at that point at you they got so much space if you like, on the tin and then that ball goes through the back and end zone because he got to throw off his back foot. That's good. Explain zero coverage. Zero coverage. That means you have nobody in the middle of the field to help anybody, right, So that means you're just covering man to man and you're sending more
rushers than the offensive line can block. So the quarterback has to get it out of his hands really fast. But when you have fifty yards of space, the quarterback can just throw it as far as he can and let the receiver go underneath it and catch it and you have no help. So that's just it. And that's when we saw last night, and Humphreys was on the same level as a teammates and they got picked off, so he got rubbed a little bit. So that's how
he got behind us so much. Yeah, all right, we did not get to the COVID story, and it continues for the Dallas Cowboys.

making the team returns for another exciting season. Don't miss Season sixteen premiere this Friday, September seventeenth, at eight Central only on c MT Right Players Lounge, brought to you by Hotels dot Com, Verry church, Brick, Johnson Scrugs, and Danny McCray. All Right, Randy Gregory starting defensive in on the COVID list, so he could possibly play on Sunday. He's got to get some negative tests asymptomatic. Yes, so he only needs two negative tests than twenty four hours.
So I'm not I'm personal to me, this is a bigger loss than Gallup. I thought you're about to say this is the bigger loss of meeting Gallup. I mean, because this was a guy and Gregory who was he was coming along, I mean, and he was forcing teams to play it honest, Like you couldn't just slide the protection the d law, leave him one on one backside and think everything was gonna be all right. He posed problems for posing offenses because it was kind of like
pick your poison. What you're gonna do. You're gonna slide my way. De law is gonna eat, slide d Law's way. I'm gonna eat. So he posted a lot of problems and hopefully he can get back from that COVID because if not, because not only is the past the man can play the runway. I was about to say, the charges will be trying to run the ball out out, they will be trying to run the ball. So let me ask this question here in this COVID eraror Okay,
he's got this. He's not here with the team, So what is your concerned level about him being being able to stay active and be ready to go, you know, if he's if he's able to get that call, you know, Saturday and and get on that play with the team. I have none. I mean it's the beginning of the season, you know, that's when they start calling you fresh legs.
I think the position that he plays doesn't call for him to like be in the meetings and have to be through being all the walkthroughs to pick up on certain stuff. I think that he knows enough to be able to get out there and play if he's available. So I don't I don't really see that being a concern because it's not like he's dropping back and coverage a lot like you know how we saw Doran's strong last you're kind of dropping back and coverage. He's not
really doing too much of that. I think the only thing that can really affect him not being here and uh, I don't have to do it on his own, is how how their run scheme is. He's gonna have to know, you know what, do they like powers or the like counters? Are they a draw team? So he can know how to attack the run. I think that's the only thing that will pretty much affect him. Because he knows how to get after the quarterback. That's just like waking up out of bed. He's able to get out of the
get after the quarterback. But how they style up their runs, he's gonna have to um be very good on his own film study to do that. Justin Herbert's really good, He's really He's true. They his guys let him down with some drops against Washington. Probably should have had at least two more touchdowns in that football game. So this is a young man in his second year who h it's good. The Chargers made a good pick. The Charger
should always thank Miami for passing on. They need to thank the doctor to stab my man up, and that's what they need to think. That's how he got up in there. I'm gonna be real. The hell of a games. Taylor play the hell of a game, which makes me wonder how come the Cow's never call him? Yeah, you know, I don't know. Maybe he figured he can started getting this league. You know, maybe he felt like someone always makes the correct decision on what team he ends up on.
He's always in a position to play. Texans DeShawn Watsons getting into some issues. I think was it the bills, you know, like he's he's not signing on teams to where he's going to like legitimately be the backup. He's signed the team, He's like, hey man, I got a shot. I don't know what y'all talking about. I'm playing. And he's been in a position and he's proved himself through training camp every time to be the starter when the
season starts. He's like a more athletic like Bridgewater. Like he takes the he takes care of the ball, he rarely turns it over. He's productive as far as you can move your offense. And I mean, he's a solid quarterback and he's not gonna blow anybody away. But he's not gonna turn the ball. He's a game manage because the definition of a game manage. And he can run, he's mobile. I mean, the dude, the dude can do it. But I will ask you all this because I had to,
because the show's about to be over. I had this conversation, thirty minute conversation yesterday. Yes, Herbert is good. Is he better than Joe Burrow? Yes? Yeah? Come on, you said that too fast. He didn't even think about it. Yes, Britt, I don't know yet. Okay, that's a bad I take that. This is why I look, are we kidding right now? When when you when you asked me about Burrow and Herbert? To me, that's like saying, do you want to BMW? Do you want to you want to Mercedes? They're both
luxury cars. You're gonna drive down the street looking good and be happy, just your birfriends. Yeah, just what he said the way Church said it was like absolutely, you know, I'm saying but if you and Mercedes, I'm saying Mercedes. But but if you look at but if you look at them play and what they're able to do and how they've carried their teams. You can't say that that this is this who played better last year? Barry he towards a c he was out of the game. At
what week he was having a good year. He was out of year. I don't know what. I don't know what week it was, but he was having a good year. Did you see what Herbert did last year? Do you know he plays with the Bengals. But you got no shot. Chargers got them. The Chargers had, They got Eckler, they got they have a defense that wasn't Hunter Hunter Henry keenan Allen h Keen Allen, Mike Williams, who Allen, Mike Williams. Who the Bengals have t Higgins aj Green last year?
Tyler boy Green got hurt. He got hurt. Tyler boy who was hurt when your frog got there? Great? If he's that great, he could be able to overpower that. If he did, he did, he won. He won on Sunday. He won on Sunday. Y'all acting like he's two are like bright head? Like that right head? He acting like the Chargers won last year? He oh oh, y'all forgot. I forgot Gary Gilbert, Gary Gilbert, he was great. Ten games games he Gary Gilbert. You know Gary Gilbert. Y'all crazy,
y'all you didn't want her. So is Joe Burrow leaps and bounds about. No, he's just above No, we literally just no. Listen. I think it's very very close, and I think this season will play out to see who it was who was better? It was better last year? I think her was he but he had more time to get some stuff done. Yes, that was no. No, no, I said it's better. He's better, He's better. Who is better? I think all those years and all that time he spent with Blake boardles his years, he just he also
had to do another fancy team last year. That's why, that's why, that's why he feels that way. But I saw what Joe Burrow did on Sunday, so I mean they both got dubbs. Joe Burrow Carty's team. They won the game against Minnesota, So I think I think they both are on the up and up. But we'll see as the season goes on. Britain has work to do, so we need to let her today. Brit Johnson Barry Church,
