Player's Lounge: No Credit, Just Kool-Aid

right way today. Trust and believe. I am going to pick the brain of one Barry Church sitting across from me. But you are now rocking with the bestness is the Players Lounge sponsored by Tostito's, the official Chip and Dip of the Dallas Cowboys. And man, this is so good. I got him all to myself. I got a corner because I know what he's gonna do. Well. My man at the desk today, per normal as always. My man Bury Church, former safety for the Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars,

is in the building. Knew he had school today, well, knew he had school today. And Danny mccraig is helping somebody get hitched. So he has. He got his own work. He got it own work cut out for him today. But Barry, as we always start our show man, we check in with each other as brothers, as men, just to see, hey man, what's going on with us? So Barry him started with you. You only one here? So how are you? Man? Man? As always man, smile on my face, extremely blessed. Right now. Life is good. Life

is good. I got to come in with my boys, talk cowboys all day. Family doing good families, healthy soul, the mentals. The mentals are in a strong spot right now. The mentals are really good right now. So no complaint from me. Man, how you doing? Man, I'm good Man, I'm the same thing. I'm the same thing. Man, just abundantly blasts. I got a lot of good things going on in my life. You know, obviously, if I can get these kids to act right all together at one time,

I would be doing even better. But I always seem to have one that goes astraight. You know, that falls asleeping class, that's not turning in assignments. You know, you know, and think you're a superstar and all that you know, and then the reality have to sit in and I have to be the bad guy. But anyway, hey, enough about me, Let's talk about where where were? That's why we're here, that is why we hear. But other than that, man, life is fantastic. I'll tell you what I've been thinking

all day. I was telling myself, Man, I'm a walk I said, you know, I've been trying all week to turn Barry. And you know he went and played golf on him one day. Yea, every boy had to have it, take his mental break. Yes, you ain't go play, I said, maybe that was the day that I could have swayed him over to make his decision. Let me say this to you, batter, I recognized, dog, that you have forgotten

more football than the average fan knows. Because of your you're having to study playing the game as longer you don't. You don't go from an undrafted guy to a long NFL career without studying football. So obviously, obviously you have been watching the film on the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco forty nine ers. And we don't know your pick,

we don't know where we're gonna we're just guessing right now. Okay, but there's something that you have seen in your preparation that gives a leg up to the San Francisco forty nine. What has that been to me? What's giving them the ability, in my opinion, just to have a slight legop. I'm not saying they, you know, leaps and bounds better than the Cowboys, but to have a slight leg up. It's the consistency. And that's just basically it, because if you look at it talent for talent, I feel like the

Cowboys are right there with the forty nine ers. I mean they got as much talent defensively as the forty nine ers have and offensively we all know, yeah they're loaded with Debo and mac and all that good stuff, But we got the same thing over here. You got Cde Lamb, you got Tony Pollard, you got guys that are explosive in their own right. So it's not a talent thing to me, it's the consistency in having an identity.

When you look at the forty nine ers, these guys have been consistent on what they want to do for the past. What about eleven and oh or an eleven six and oh since since Purdy took over, but eleven straight And that's because they stick to their identity. They know what they are. They are a physical, downhill running football team that doesn't ask the quarterback to do much. Now, Purdy, he's come along great. Don't get me wrong. He's played great.

He's put the ball in the playmaker's hands and they've been able to do what they gotta do. He's making great decisions with the rock. He's only had I think four interceptions in the six games, but he has thirteen touchdowns. So the guy is doing great as far as decision making isn term. But when you talk about the forty nine ers, they know who they are. They live and

die by that formula and they're consistent with it. When we look at the Dallas Cowboys, we had a great formula going early on lean on the ground game, lean on that solid defense. Then somewhere along the way we kind of deviated from that track. We went to, you know, throwing the ball forty sometimes a game out there, relying solely on Dak's arm. And he hasn't been the most consistent quarterback this season now the past. This past game,

he was unbelievable, remarkable against Tampa Bay. The guy had put the ball anywhere he wanted to he wasn't phased at all by Todd Bowls. But when you talk about consistency over time, this Cowboys team this season, it's been an up and down roller coaster. Maybe not as far as wins or losses are concerned, but as far as identity, and one week the offense plays great, the next week they struggle defensively. Same thing. I just love the consistency that the forty nine ers have had. Cowboys up and

down roller coaster. It's hard for me to give them the leg up with that thing going on there, you know, absolutely, And I think that's the way that the way that you put that. I think that because of Kyle Shanahan as their as their head coach, that gives them that identity because he doesn't change his stripes. He's gonna run that stretch run play. That's his play, no matter what I think his defensive consistency. They're gonna play a prototypical

style of defense. Doesn't matter who they have SLA, it doesn't matter who it is. They're gonna play a certain brand of football. They haven't deviated from that. The one thing that has been really shocking to me in watching the San Francisco forty nine is are gearing up for this matchup. Is the people that give you said, look, I don't give them that much of a leg up.

It's by a titch, not very much. But but then when you when you listen around and you listen to other people that have obviously the same experience as you. The former NFL players, gims, everybody else that talks about this matchup, they talk about the forty nine ers roster as though it is leaps and bounds better than the Dallas Cowboys. Now, I will tell you this, when I look at the playmakers on both sides, I can't lie

to you. I have to give. I look on the other side and I say, if I go playmaker for playmaker, and I started Bosa Michael, you know, I go cdd BO you know, McCaffrey, Zeke and Pollard, you know, and I go through that. I side with San Francisco on half of those just by the play style of those guys. The numbers don't sway me, because the numbers are way too close in some instances. But when I get away from that, and I start saying, Okay, Tray Von Diggs,

Curse Wilson, Tank Lawrence, you know when I started. When I look at our offensive line and I say Tyrant Smith, Sack Martin and and I mean even Dak Josh Burton, I'm like, wait a minute, now, either you're not giving us credit for these other guys. You're not giving us credit for the team that we have. Are You're being willing willingly being blind about the talent that's on the Dallas Cowboys versus what's on the San Francisco forty nine US. Right,

it's right there, it's right there. When you say that they've been consistent, I agree with you. When you win eleven straight that hell, it don't get the more consistent than now. But that's eleven straight versus teams that haven't had the five hundred record. This is true as well. These are This is the criticism that the Cowboys get all the time when we go through all you shouldn't have lost that team, Oh you should have eate that team. Oh you should have eat them by a hundred. You know,

the San Francisco forty nine is have done that. And I think d MAC will argue, you beat the teams you're supposed to beat. But what do you play down or do you play up to guys that that that you that you go up against. That's the biggest thing for me when I look at that, But also when I compare the playmakers, then I start going to the keys to victory and the matchups that I'm looking for. That's what it comes down to, the matchups. You you know that that's where I'm going. That's where I'm going.

And for you, when you look at this on film and you look at everything that we just summarized about both of these teams, what do you say the biggest matchups are going to be. Obviously we know the big names, we don't but what are you seeing on tape that you're saying, Okay, I'm looking for this on Sunday. To me, you know forty nine ers wives offensively, I want to see how this defense run by Dan Quinn can handle twenty one personnel. And we talked about it, I believe yesterday,

but that's what they major in. They don't really major in eleven personnel. Now they got the ability to with Jennings, they can bring him in there as well and get that eleven personnel going, but they major in that twenty one. One of the only teams in the league that has that fullback in Kyle use check that uses their tight end, splits them out, splits the full back outs, blitz McCaffrey out.

So they end up with five wide receiver options out there going against a Dallas Cowboys defense that doesn't major in base. You know, they're their base covers. Their main stay is either a nickel or a big nickel, big nickel. They have mcquamo at that at the nickel spot, regular nickel, They're gonna have Bland at the nickel, and they're gonna have another corner maybe Xavier Roads out there to go along with treyvon Digg. So, to me, it's gonna be

real interesting. How are they compromised? Because when you look at it, you haven't basically a three safety situation right there in that with that twenty one personnel, all those offensive linemens, tight end, fullback, can that big nickel or nickel personnel handle that run? Because that's what's gonna happen.

They're gonna come out there. They're gonna be like, ah, y'all can stay in that big nickel if you want to, You might be able to cover us when it comes to five wilde option if you deside to pass it. But can Israel mcquamo, can that third or that next

safety coming down? Can they live in the run game situation the entire game, because that's the thing that's gonna because when you talk about you know, mquamo and these other safeties coming down in the that's one thing if you do it once every you know, a couple of plays here and there. But if you got to live in that series after series and going against those big offensive lineman Williams getting to the second level having to fight him off, can you do that for four quarters?

Because if you look at it, Tampa Bay, they weren't really interested in running the football. They tried to Dallas shut them out because they were eleven personnel. So it's wide receivers on dbs here. You're getting tight ends and fullbacks against dbs out there. Now you got Vanderesh you might have or you have Vanderesh will have ball or Damon Clark and there as well. But when it comes down to it, you know, Calhan, he's gonna look, all right, where's that walk down safety at Oh he's on his

left side. Hey all right, check. Hey, We're going over here to him to see if he can handle that consistently. That's the only thing that really has me nervous because if it gets into a passing game where the forty nine ers I gotta drop back multiple times with that young quarterback party, then I believe that falls into dan Quinn's hands because he can at least that pass rus

showing you. But if they're not able to get it into a passing game and it's just forty nine ers downhill punching us in the throat like they did last year, then that concerns me slightly because we know it when's the last time dan quinn has put out there a three lineback, a four three or a three lineback or something else. He has his safeties and he has a lot of respect for his safeties, and rightly so, because

those guys have been balling out this year. But can they handle that physical torture, that physical punishments that's gonna come to him each and every down, not only with McCaffrey, but Elijah Mitchell back there as well, Deebo Samuel. They got a lot of playmakers that can run the rock. That kind of concerns me a little bit. And that's another reason why I slightly give the advantage to the forty nine ers, And you know what, I love that.

I think that that is the one thing that's their identity. Their identity, the physicality of their offensive line and the way that they run. My answer to that is, Curse has shown you all year that he plays with a physical play style. Healthy. No, absolutely, that's the everybody at this point. I believe it's slightly banged up and if he can go, you'd almost have to cut his head head off to not have He's gonna go, and he understands the physicality of this game and him being the

heartbeat of this defense. Having him out there, I think is another thing. Tank Lawrence is of our defensive lineman, the guy that sets the tone against the running game, I would agree. I believe that having Layton vander esh back that's another That's another thing. His ability to scrape and get to the runner. I think that also sets us up against that power game. They do a lot of counters, they do a lot of stretch plays, all of those things. You're gonna need guys like Donovan Wilson

to be exactly who they are. Downhill thumpers think had to have him in there. That's the guy. That's the guy that I think it can also make the difference. The other difference I think is what we're talking about the line of scrimmage is the changes that they've made going and I don't I don't know what the forty eight is gonna be, but I know that they left some guys off and they're coming with a bigger brand

that they're Chauncey Gholston really made a difference. He's bigger, he could play that four eye technique, he can move

out to the five. There's a lot of different things that you could do with a guy like that that basically you're going to have to test them at the line of scrimmage if you're dan Quinn, if you can't get that part of it done, I think they eat off of everything else that they recognize that you can't do that Deebo Samuels, And it's it's so hard to take away all of the things that they have because they got they got so many weapons, you know. So for dan Quinn's it's like, you know, this man, we

want to make you one dimensional. How in the hell do you make the forty nine is one dimensional? When every one of their players can do multiple things. Chris mccafrecking run the ball, but he also can catch Deboken run the ball, but he also is a receiver. He's better at being a receiver than actually run the ball, but he does both of them. Well. The sayings you know, Brandon, Brandon, I you wants to catch those short passes and he wants to take a five yard pass to the house.

All right. So for me, the Dallas Cowboys defense has to specialize in you're down where you catch the ball, that's it. Oh yac if you catch the five yard out, you sit right there. It can't because if you see, like when I look at Devo when I see him up against Seattle, that's exactly what he did. Like he catch a five yard pass, a ten yard pass, he take it thirty more yards. And that's what's backbreaking about

San Francisco. When you don't tackle well, they take advantage of you and then it just looks like they're physical brand of football just takes over. And that's the part to me about the Cowboys that in this matchup, dan Quinn has to be tuned in into that. On the other side, for me, my key when I'm looking at is on the offensive side okay for the Cowboys. And look, I kind of half jokingly half serious yesterday were talking about Demko Ryans and his defense and what toddo Bowls

tried to do with us last week. And honestly, Demko is not gonna go with a seven man front. He's not gonna do any of that because he believes supremely in his front seven. When she should, he has every reason to leave it in front seven. And I've always thought, as evaluating football that when you play zone on the back end majority of the game, it's because you believe that your front seven can maintain the line of scrimmage. That's the only reason why you can get home with

four people. That's that's always been my thought, right, And so when I look at San Francisco, they believe that they can get home with Bolsa, Armstead and company. But to me, on the flip side of this, I'm saying, from seventy three to seventy seven, do you gotta be ironclad? You gotta be Look when they were You go back two weeks to Washington and they went against a vaunted front seven that defensive line pain Chase Island. Them boys.

They struggled immensely. Now I'm gonna you know, Tampa Bay, they didn't have that that front seventh that maybe Washington and the forty nine Ers has, so the Cowboys were able to dominate them. Once they got going in them trenches, it was over it. It was a done deal that was not touched the entire gain, cool, calm, and collected.

And that's the one you want to see. Forty nine Ers is gonna be another Hess because they got a similar as far as talent wise along that front seven like Washington had, and Washington always gives the Cowboys fits as far as the running game and all that stuff. And we understand, in my opinion, at least Dad does

his best work when he has play action available. And you know, we saw it last week when he was when Zeke and Polot were able to get it gone, he was able to use that play action to a key, hitting Shoultz up the scenes, hitting you know, Polot in the flight. All these things were happening for this team. If they can't control the trenches, because that's what it's gonna come down to. If they can't control the trenches, this game it could get out of hand. But we've

seen it last week this office. When they play mistake free football, they're extremely tough to beat. So we'll see what happens this week. And this is and my point about from seventy three to seventy seven being ironclad. And this is something that I know even before it comes out of my mouth, Cowboy Nation is gonna say, hell no, I'm cussing and I say this, You're gonna have to run the ball. You're gonna have to run the ball.

How do you run the ball versus team that hasn't give up more than seventy five average and seventy five yards a game. You gotta find a way. And the thing is, they beat you into submission because they make you one dimensional and you give up on the run. The Cowboys cannot give up on the run. If it's sixty five players in this game, Cowboy Nation, we gotta run thirty of them. You gotta because you gotta keep

the forty nine ers off balance. That's that's one. If they understand, you know, all right, all them boys gonna pin their ears back, are stead both of them? I mean, they're gone. But people don't want to hear that, right, People don't want to hear that people don't want to hear Calamara. You're running on first down. You may not run on first down no more. You have to stay balanced in this game because, like you said, if you

become one dimensional, they come after you. But the second thing is, and this is probably the most important, time of possession in this game is going to be important, not just having the ball, but scoring when you have the ball. But time of possession is going to be important because the time of possession, what it does is it eliminates, well, it keeps eighty five nineteen twenty three and eleven on the sideline for San Francisco drinking kool aid.

That's all right, yeah, and that's healthy. Yes, that's healthy. They when they're sitting down and you don't have to worry about them, and your offense is out there in command. That gives you the greatest opportunity to win. And that's the balance that I'm looking for, and that's the key matchup. But hey, we have talked our heads off for the first twenty minutes, as promised, You're gonna take some phone calls. And the second segment and third segment just to here,

cowboy Nation, where y'all coming from? How y'all feeling We already letting you know how we feel, so we want to hear from you, So stay with us here on the Players Lounge. We'll be right back.

Hit us up, Me and Barry here. We're gonna be

here for another twenty Ain't what twenty minutes? Another twenty minutes talking on the players louds, but bear, I want to get my thoughts from me. I'm trying to turn y'all to the dark side. Brother, working your boy, Keith got me a little height too, man Like, Man, I can't saying you with your head, your hand in my heart felt that. I felt that right there. Man, you know what I felt that was? That's love. Now, you were talking earlier about the the San Francisco offense going

versus going against the Cowboys defense. Now what you pointed out, I really I'm sitting here kind of laughing to myself. I'm like, hell, are you talking about safety play and playing the big nickel versus you know, small nickel as safeties? I'm sorry, tell us how you do it then, I'm sorry, box safety extraordinary. I'll let you, boy. I mean, what do you do in a situation where you know they're going to overload left or overload right and that play is coming your way or they're gonna try and cut

you on the back side? What's the study group looking like for week? See if you were safety in my time when I was down there thumping when I was coming out and the cats, so you could do something called you can cut the offensive linemen. Back then you had big Trent William, You had one of these three hundred pounds coming at you and you had to keep the edge on them. You can go ahead and take them knee caps out. You can take them knee caps out and forstap runner in nowadays that that's against the

that's against the rule. They're gonna throw a flag on you, even though they outweigh you by two hundred pounds. Like it's it's hard for safety, especially a guy that's involved in the running game, to go down there and shed and lock out three hundred pounds with your arms and shut them. It's just not gonna happen. Physics don't work that way. That man three hundred pounds, he could probably bench press six of the six of the safeties coming in there. They and they expect you to go head

to head with something like that. In my time when we was playing man, you got Trent coming around that corner. I'm cutting each and every time. So when he comes around that edge, he's gonna slow up because he's gonna want to protect them knees. That's the one thing I know about offensive laymen. You mess with their knees, they they're slowing up the down putting their hands out. Now

you get them with them and get around right. Nowadays, it's extremely tough to do that because they want you up top, they want you battling with these big boys, and that's a hard thing to do down in and down out. That's why I'm sad. It's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough to have a safety in there, because you know what the forty nine is going through.

They're gonna run downhill at you. They're going to I mean, you got Purdy and he's playing great, but they're gonna take you know, as much onus away from Purdy as possible.

So he just not messed his game up, so to me, you know, the forty nine ers because if they if they turn the ball over, if they do what Tampa Bay did, they've fallen right into Dallas's hands because Dallas is gonna be able to take advantage of those takeaways and it's gonna force them to drop back and pass with Purdie's arm and then things can get ugly for the forty nine ers. But that down in and down out punishment that they can they can put out their

own cast. It's tough, especially for down safety coming down in, man, it's tough. That's a great, that's a great point. I got Bill from Pa, from your back wood backyard, Bill from the its on the phone. Give me an answer for what for what bad? Just said? Bill? I need he put me back in my stage of doubt again with that Bill. What you got for me? Baby? I don't know. Barry's just kind of confused. Um. You know he needs to come over here and get on get on the get on the right side sooner than later.

Don't try to jump on the wagon at the super Bowl and trying to you know, trying to jump on here. I know you're scared. I know you're scared, but you know, come come, come right with us, Come right with us. I just want to say, I think I think we're gonna terrorize Purty. Nobody else has officially welcomed him to the NFL, and I would like Michael Parsons to do that a couple of times this weekend. And you know,

mentors and dentals, my mentors. I can't wait till Sunday go cowboys, Love y'all, man, all right, man appreciation Jess. Who would you say we had on next? I'm sorry, didn't hear you. We got Mark from Jacksonville, Illinois. Mark from Jacksonville, Illinois is on the line. Mark, talk to me, Hey, boys, we are all about the Cowboys, yes sir, okay, okay, And we gotta put San Francisco on the leash. It's like a bad dog. You just pulled the chain and choke them out. Oh I love it. I don't care

what they tried. We just nod. Gotta keep them on the leash. Gotta keep get in Bertie's face and make him feel pressure. And I think we can run the ball. It may not be big chunks, but you gotta keep hitting them. You gotta keep hitting the body, Davy, make him feel the pain. Awesome, man. Well, hey, we appreciate your call. Thank you for calling in h and shout out to all dog lovers out there, and uh, we're gonna make sure we take care of our dogs and our leashes. But in the case of this dog, I

felt you. I understand exactly where you were going with that. That's you know, I get it, man. Everybody has the same theme. It's like, uh, I love it. Man. When people talk about football, it's like this this war you know, yeah, take yeah, it hit him to the body. You know. We gotta hey, all this stuff we gotta do because they know, Man, it's going to be a battle next up on the on the line. We got Mike in Los Angeles. Mike, what's going on, baby? Hey, not too

much talk about yourself. Man, I'm blessed. Man, I'm good. How about you? Pretty good? Pretty good? Look. I've been listening to you guys, and it's like, you guys are making the San Francisco forty nine Ers a powerhouse. But you know what I did. I watched the game from last year and we had Dallas. We had fourteen penalties in an interception and we still could have won the game.

So that's what people aren't looking at. See. And as far as powerhouse goes, I think the forty nine Ers had had three people out of the game because Dallas came in and played hard. So I think this game, Dallas is gonna blow them out, blowout, at least blowout by fourteen. Whoa, Mike, because I fourteen penalties. You can't win a game have a fourteen penalties in an interception, and that's what we had last year. We're straight that out. We're going to the championship. I love it, Mike, Mike,

thank you so much for your call gold Cowboys. I'm with you, baby, and I'll tell you what. Mike been drinking the same thing. I'mn't drinking. I see what's it? I haven't dranking. Hold on, Mike, Mike said, by double digits, we go with about fourteen. I love it, Mike, Mike. What's Mike talking about? Man? We're talking about the fourteen penalties? I understand that's that's tough to overcoming the playoff game. But leading up to that game, what was the what

was going on with the Cowboys that whole season? Penalties handed? We paid for it, you paid for it. What's been happening in this whole season? Inconsistency? Would you go automatically just throw them out of the game like it? But we have been coming back on those penalties. I think last game hasn't been a problem. So maybe just maybe we have cured that problem. But I believe we have lead from Harrisburg, PA on the fall. Dave's going on fell us? How you doing, man, good man? How are you?

I'm doing great? Man. I've been a lifelong Cowboy fan. I remember you two church getting down with us. What I'm calling in and say you guys talk about you know, yeah, we gotta do that. We gotta run, run, run, you know, be a balanced team. But we can't be predictable though. We can't just go up there and just say, you know, first down. We gotta run sometimes. We gotta get that screen going. And if and if that played anything like he played last week, we're super Bowl brown Baby, I

love you know, big, big lifelong Cowboy fan. I'm excited, man, but I like life Churchman. I have my heart broken a whole bunch of times. My house is gonna be split up.

I have given you all of the evidence to show you why you should pick the Dallas Cowboys. I've shown you on the offensive side, have shown you on the

defensive side. I've shown you even the skilled position. You have everything to make an educated decision. The floor is yours, Barry Church. I'm gonna tell you what. I'm gonna tell you what heck um you did? You You've put into into this argument a lot, and I understand, I understand you had you know you talked about the skilled position.

You talked about that offensive line continuity. Dak Press got coming off of one of his best games defensively having LB in there, Haskins and Hankins to stop the run.

I'm telling you I've been saying, just be smart, just just be smart. Don't try and don't try and sell him too much. Just give him little bits at a time, and he gonna do it. And

you finally did. I gotta say this, Cowboy Nation, all the kool aid has been drunk, it's all gone out of all the benches on the bandwagon are taking up all right. Look, you've been listening all week. All they've been telling you is you can't win, you don't belong. Last week was a fluke. They didn't say anything about you putting Tom Brady to bed, sending him on his way. They didn't want to tell you that, hey man, your offense may have played one of the best performances of

the year. They don't want to tell you that. They don't even want to tell you that your defense showed there be high last week. They talk about then uh Dan Quinn and how great he is in all the places that he's gonna go, and everybody interviewing him. They talk about your offensive coordinator to no end, but they never say that he's number one in all these statistical categories. They just don't give you credit. But guess what, they don't need no damn no credit. Cash, stay cash home.

And this is our time. And I'm telling you, Cowboy Nation, I don't know what your routine is on game day, but cook your pull up your drink, cook your food. Go into this game with confidence because look at five we ride all right, and we are playing to be able to go to an NFC championship. And you can't ask for no more than that. You can't ask for no more than that. So, like we always do on Friday BC, you might want to take your headphones. I

don't get aback, hey. And if you got your your phone on or wherever you had, if you got it turned up loud, you may want to turn it down because Cowboys your team. What. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club
