Player's Lounge: Right Side Issues

real quick? Go ahead? It was good. I tried. I tried to tell y'all what was going to We ain't pull it off, but we should have. Man, y'all see the Rockets came to play. We got some wen Hey, we in the mac man were ready. Yeah, I'm back on booth. Sound like a true cowboy was fan. We almost had it. We almost had it. I told you we're gonna get close end day. I'm telling you know. Okay, congratulations on that lost man, y'all, y'all we win. We ain't embarrassed, but we're gonna win it. We're gonna win.

It was. It was. It was a heck of a performance. I was rooting for him, man, I was rooting for him some moral victory or moral loss right or something. Cover. Man. I'll say this, Brian Kelly's going to his ad say take them off that schedule. Don't don't bring him back like Apolo Creed. They're gonna be no rematch. Then put a Fresno State on that next also all the players loud number forty. The member the newest member of Survivor the television show. He is Danny McCray. Next week. Next

week is when I think pops twenty second, twenty second. Man, y'all you know I'm checking out, So that's all I can say. Nui. It's like no, no, no, no, no, no. They got they got commercials and stuff. Okay, and Britt Johnson is here in the house. What what's up? What's up guy? Ohio State? Okay? I was waiting. Ohio State lost. Yeah. And the crazy thing is is week one, Uh Fresno State played Oregon. It was a close game. That's the game I thought, you know they were going to do

something with they don't. They barely lose and then Oregon comes twelfth, twelfth overall and they come in and beat the Ohio State. They bullied Ohio State like you see La bullied us. It's just, you know, this college football season is gonna be something. I'm excited. I'm sick of seeing the whole the undefeated. All the teams are undefeated by the end of the season, and you get all these blowouts. You even saw that one game another upisode.

It was like forty to twenty something. What you're seeing was that because I know you still gonna see Alabama blowing everybody. Somebody, somebody need to beat Alabama. Nick saban All, I'm tired of seeing. I'm hating you keep asking for it and you don't need it. I feel the same. But uh, the boy Marcus thought to go up in there and do something. Oh man, they put them Paulls on texts. They did. They did shout out to the

Eagle tip. They put them Pauls on tax See he's starting these how did it was a UNC Pemburg dot beat beat over time. Okay, because anybody, like everybody, my brains got beating overtime. It was a conference game. Had some team up in uh West Virginia. Yeah they got took that, hell took that hel But it Okay, man, it is us. I merely knew, he scrugs. Here a long time Cowboys reporter. Um. This show was brought to you by hotels dot com. Course I was out Friday,

Churches out Friday. You guys got to handle things. So Nick joined us as great one of great Nick. One of the issues that I and you guys just players, help help breakin I understanding what is your body like the day after the first game because you're in training camp, you're hitting, but the same time there's limited numbers of padded practices. This is the first time you're out there. What are guys across the league feeling after that first game? Am I allowed to say this? Tell the truth? So

I was. I was at every game toward all guy. So I would I would take my toward all pill that I'm not sure. I'm not sure, but I would take my toward all pill before the game and then that slows down the feeling a little bit. So I wouldn't start feeling my pain until like Wednesday. So we would play Sunday night, and then that Wednesday practice I would be sore as hell. That's the padded practice. So you come in and all those apes and pains that you kind of pushed it aside a little bit on Sunday.

You start feeling those on Wednesday, and then your week starts and Thursday you feel a little better. Friday is fast. Friday, Saturday you rest and there's something you ready to play again. And that's that's sixteen weeks. Yeah, because it get better or worse as the season goes on. Is that week one the worst one or does it get worse? I

think it just depends on the game. Because some games you have where where you're and there you're playing against Adrian Peterson and Marshall Unlynch and you're banging the whole game. And then some games is like the Tampa Bay game that we just played, where it's it's a lot of passing right, And then then maybe the safety isn't isn't banging like they usually do it, maybe the cornerbacks aren't aren't having a feel on crack replace. So it just

depends on how the game is going. Yeah, you know that toward all Man that I try it one time, one time and you're right that way, You feel great after the game, you can call Man the club and that winsday comes and you put your foot on that ground after you got a bed. Oh where is this pain coming from? What is this? I mean, it's that's Howard All is wild. But to me, it gets worse.

It gets worse as as a season goals Like that first game got a lot of a general and pumping, so you don't really feel the shots here and there. And then you know that that Monday, that's whose day comes around. You get a little sword and like you said, Wednesday, start working it out. Thursday you don't have pads on. So that's the best practice to me, besides Friday because it's fast Friday. But overall it means sixteen weeks and they added another one. It gets hard around week eight,

especially if you had to buy early. Around week eight or nine and you start to sluggish. I mean, especially if you're losing. Because we went through in twenty fifteen we were at four four and twelve. That was the longest season of my life because it was like we could do nothing wrong on the field and we were just getting beat up game in and game out. So it definitely gets worse as the season progresses, but hey,

it's a hell of the experience. That was just what I immediately thought about just you know, coming home Friday from the game, but then just thinking about all these teams that were playing yesterday is just okay. A lot of guys haven't played a lot of football, and game one, you're putting it all out there and just what is it like to just simply get out of bed. And I've just heard stories from guys, never lived it myself, you know, but just that that with what it is

to play. Parsons is sore as hell right now because he ain't played in a year before that. I think of that right now. This his first football in a year, and he was flying all over the place. So I know he's feeling like a little easier when you're younger. Though. The sores person on the football field is Ezekiel Elliott. The man was playing left tackle in there. You were playing left tackle, right guard, taking on Devin while he listened.

He took on blocks the entire game. Also got to eleven runs, you know, a couple of catches, but yes, he was, Yeah, he was blocking the whole game. So he saw because because some of those shots are like those if you you gotta watch it, man, those linebackers are running full speed. And he has to scan and then at the last minute take on those blocks. And he was doing a great job better, but I know

of some soreness in there. The coordinators speaking at the top of the hour, Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinator of the Cowboys, he's already spoken, and he said that the Cowboys called twenty eight runs against the Buccaneers and the DAK checked out of twelve of them. Based on the lucky guy. Danny, you are Ezekiel Elliott, please run the ball resident, I'm with you, But did you have an issue with the run game against Tampa? Absolutely? I had an issue with the run game. I thought we should

have ran more. And after watching the game and listening to what everybody is saying about how the box was stacked and they have the previous year they had a really good run defense, so they kind of shot away from a little bit. My mindset is, Okay, you still got Zeke back there. You say, the guys quicker, he lost weight. He should be better in running doing some screens.

If you're not going to run him, and you go into that week knowing that you're not going to run him, find another way to utilize the guy instead of saying we're gonna utilize you blocking, right, So, like I said, if you're going to use him that way, then Tony Pouler shouldn't get those rips. He shouldn't be getting an entire series. Zeke should be in there running some of those screen routes or running some of those draw plays. So I think it's the usage versus just you know,

banging your head and there on the run. But I do think, you know, for us to have a successful season, we're going to have to find a running game. Gat what you thinking. I mean, we talked about this on Friday, and I am a fan of Tony Pollard, so I kind of liked what happened on Thursday. I liked what I saw. I thought we did what we were supposed to do in that moment. I mean, I said it, I'll say it again. Vita was putting people in matrix poses and they could not get out of that. So

I thought we did what we had to do. And I think there's going to be could We'll probably talk about it later on the show, but I think there's going to be opportunities we'll see real soon where Zeke will be getting the ball a lot more. Yeah, like I thought, you know, W wanted to that game. They you know, they had a stag box da Van them boys.

They was real. So I felt like Kellen did. I think they did a good job out there by attacking that secondary because their secondary is vulnerable as we've seen. I mean, Ceedee Lamb was going off, Coop was going off. So I liked the game plan and it was very creative too. It was very creative calls out there getting their guys the ball in space, which we need to we needed to be done by Kellen Moore, So I feel like he did a good job there. But I

don't think it's sustainable. I don't think we can go out there for seventeen weeks and ask Dak to throw the ball fifty to sixty times a game and be successful. I think that'll be There'll be teams we go against where their secondary is legit and we keep getting these If we keep getting these three and outstrow on the ball like that, it's gonna wear and tear on our defense.

So I think overall, just for that Bucks game, that was a good game plan, but that past heavy offense, I don't think it's sustainable through seventeen weeks and we needed more of a balanced approach with Zeke, with polot in those guys, and I'm sure we'll get into that as a season goes on, and we don't go against such a stacked box like Tampa Bay had. I did not have an issue with it because they were already missing the starting safety. Then you had another dB go

out with a broken arm. The matchups for both teams were against the dbs throw the ball, and when I think about the results of what happened, that offense left the field with the lead, which I did not expect. You know, I picked Cowboys to lose, and I thought it'd be a double lost. They were there, the offense did what it needed to do, defense couldn't hold on to it. Obviously, you're correct, this is not sustainable, but I just don't think you're gonna be able to face it.

You know, how many defense are you gonna face where you've got those kinds of matchups, And I thought the Cowboys had that matchup, which in my opinion, i'd go ahead and go for um the way they did. I'm looking here and let me punch this thing up. I'm almost positive they won the time of possession, so boom, so yeah, thirty four, thirty four, twenty seven to twenty five, thirty three. So that's why Danny Week one. I'm good. I'm good if this keeps going, no, no, no, if

you don't work your quarterback to pass the ball. Maybe if we were talking about this for years, We talked about this all last year, even if we had our second to thirty three quarterback, and we talked about the same stuff. Zeke's gonna run it. We talked about this when when JG was here, we tried to figure out how we're gonna get this thing going same stuff. Are you are you doubting Mike McCarthy when he says he wants balance and he's going to work to achieve back Listen, yes, yes, absolutely,

I'm doubt them. What do you mean? And listen, let's not gloss over this. Okay? Me and Brit talked about this on Friday as well. All of y'all were wrong, were right? Knew you said they weren't gona cover the spread. You said the same thing, so did Britt. Okay. I knew that the game was gonna come down to the end, and I knew that we were going to cover the spread and we were gonna lose that. It was again perfect scenario, like they needed that sloppy play, they needed

that sloppy environment. It was weather, it was soaky. Four turnovers, they needed all that, And I just can't believe we still took an air with that. You still you still top ten? I didn't get Listen, I listen, Yes, absolutely. I told you that this game, a lot of teams are gonna go into week one and give up those type of numbers. And we saw your step. No, no, no, I said, a lot of teams, A lot of teams are gonna yeah, because he had Aaron Rodders and DeVante.

I don't even want to talk about that. I don't even want to talk about that. So yeah, listen, we got four turnovers. Like I said, listen, we've been complaining about not getting turnovers. Rob Ryan came here, Robi and Nearly came here. We've been looking for somebody who can get a turnovers. We got four, all right, So yes, I think that we're trending upward. On defense, I think it will be just fine. I mean the defense five of eleven on third down against Tom Brady and the

Bucks of me, that's they did. They did so many things that you looked at were positives and to to walk out of the stadium with a loss, and I'm I'm there under you know, they're watching Tampa Bay come up with these guys. Knew they they snuck out the bear trap. Well, they snuck out of the bear The defense did enough to win the game in my opinion. Obviously that last drive they I didn't do enough. But I mean when I look when you look at these numbers, okay,

once again, I'm thinking I thought the Cowboys would get handled. Yeah, you were there in this football game. I didn't expect you to be there in the football game. And to me, when I look at how you lost, it's that same thing. We keep talking about special teams. They just lost a special team's fans. And you can't keep coming, you know, you can't go into a game like this against the world champions and just lose a phase of the game like that. You had Zeroline who was terrible, then you

had some coverage issues there. That's the kind of stuff that those little things like there, that hidden yardage, those hitting points and Bill parcels he's talking about that, that's what gets you beat and Jerry's on the fan Friday talking about the whole kicking situation that, yeah, and he's basically paraphrasing him. Were probably fooled ourselves thinking that, you know, he was gonna be okay without a whole lot of

practice here. And that goes back to bones Fossil sitting up here selling us his his his mojo about things. And the kicker wasn't there. You've got to make these kicks in Tampa Bay to win. It wasn't only the kicker. That team was terrible. That hidden yardage. So so let's this this whole phase of the game. So when I look at the offense and defense they gave they did enough in my opinion, this offensively, for sure, I'll say the offensive enough. They did enough to get you the

four you know, the four turns. This was I wasn't expecting that. So I'm sitting here looking at it. Man, you did enough, and you started to just kind of look at where where is it? Where you totally lost that phase the game? You lost it. Tampa's defense wasn't good either. Offensively, we wished them all down the field easily. Both defense both defense were getting handled. Yeah, I would say that, I would definitely. Would you say that both

defense were getting handled? Yes, would you say both defense was getting handled? Yeah? Absolutely. Okay, so it's kind of like a draw. Right. Well, wait, listen, we we we made more plays than their defense did. We made our defense made more plays than Tampa base defense did. We got more turnovers than Tampa base defense did. We got some three and outs, and we just somehow couldn't get get couldn't stop, but we couldn't get We couldn't get the kicker to make his kick. Listen, in the field,

how much should we lose? Yeah, he makes, he makes, The kicker makes thing, makes that play. Now we have to get Tom Brady scoring a touchdown on us versus just driving down there to get that by that logic, if if, if that didn't just volleyball one in the air, CD lambs to the CD lamb don't just drop his then and now you still even we were talking about it on Friday, and you know, obviously we can give them, okay, the sixty yard but like a thirty one yard field

the goal he got you got. Listen, let me tell you something. If you was on that defense and y'all made those plays. You would have been like, we should have won that game. You not one time, just knifing us down like that. You know what I mean. I can see if we were stopping him just a little bit, holding up a little baby wets like Dak did his thing too. So yeah, you should have won. We got some three and outs, some three and I was like, you said they didn't. They didn't. They didn't complete every

third down. We were five good Bowl, you know. But I also told y'all, listen, the worst thing that can happen for us in the next few weeks is we found out that Tampa Bay's secondary is garbage and we were we weren't that good. Joseph's coming back. We need somebody else. I heard you, Let me tell you, let me say what I heard. You know just what I heard. I haven't seen it that A. B. May is the best that we have right now at corner. Yes, yes,

not over Trey Vaughn Jordan. I believe Calvin if he comes back or when he comes back, he's gonna get that starting spot. I believe. I really like him. I don't know why I feel like him. I just like him. I don't know I having feelings about staff, and I have a feeling that he's gonna I mean, and I mean really, I almost feel like sometimes I could be out there instead of how the player we're not gonna stats online and they weren't good. The corner players like

we didn't even see. I guess they don't think Right's ready. No, Sean, I don't think they don't think he's ready. I mean, it's just that was a bad performance. It was like that was bad. But we also said that. Let me tell you something, Anthony Brown is not gonna see Antonio Brown every week, all right, Antonio Antonio Brown that showed up on Thursday looked like the Antonio Brown of old. He looked like he looked like that guy. Right, he didn't.

Nine nine times out of ten if you put I don't want to say nothing crazy, nine times out of ten, Antonio Brown's gonna win a match up against eighty of the cornerbacks this in this league. And he did that on Thursday. He looked like he looked real good. He looked like the ab of three years ago. And nobody could and nobody can stop him, no matter who you put on him at that point, nobody can stop him.

And he showed us that he's back. I started on my fantasy jas this is this is a matchup that is favorable for Tom Brady um with Antonio Brown, And yeah, you're right, he gonna cook a lot of dudes this year. You're gonna cook him cook a lot, certainly, certainly. But things didn't look good though. I like the way the fault. I like the way it was like one for Nike. Evans didn't do anything. He didn't do anything. He shot at him too, which I thought he was gonna be.

I think on that offensive, on that offensive pass interference that should have been yeah said that. Who let's call that O. Listen, listen what what it could have been? Could have went either way, could have go either way. But my point is if you look at that play and you watch Mike Evans on that play getting locked down by Tram, Tram came out there, you know he second road time. You didn't call it earlier? Nobody say, nobody, no, roll nothing. I hate hating on Jamar Chase. I see

what he did. Go t go Tigers. Yeah they against UCLA. Couldn't it all right? Let's go ahead, take a break. Right now. We have been ducking and dodging it. But let's dive into it next. Lell College is gonna miss five games with the suspension. What is the worry level? What should they do it? Right? Tackle? Danny McCrae, Britt Johnson, Barry Church knew, we scrugs.

Your tailgate just got jealous. Back here in the SWBC Mortgage studios at the Star in Frisco, Berry Church, Dam Craig Johnson, I am NEWI Scruggs.

This is the player's lounge. Okay, before we dive into Lal Collins coordinators are speaking right now. Uh here in the twelve o'clock hour, Kellen Moore already spoke more, saying that the Cowboys called twenty eight runs Thursday night, that Dak Prescott checked out twelve of them. We were just speaking about Anthony Brown the corner before the break end. Dan Quinn According to a tweet from Dave Hellman, uh says that Anthony Brown was supposed to have safety help

on the long bomb touchdown by Antonio Brown. He says, a defender in the middle of the field tripped and the safety went over to cover that instead of helping the gold ball. All right, man MCRAI, you got that, you got that. I just I just believe that I'm right. And as I say this, I cannot see the play again. But there's a difference between safety help, right, There's a

difference between safe the help and the safety over the top. Okay, all right, Safety help is if if the safety is in the middle and if he can numbers to numbers and the quarterback throws throws the deep ball, he can get there and help you maybe make a hit to dislodge the ball or something. You have help. Safety over the top means that if the ball goes over your head,

the safety should be there to make their interception. So if you look at that play, a b is beat, looks like looks like look looks like like he's playing for a comeback, and Antonio Brown never stops and that's the end of that play. So yeah, maybe there was a safety in the middle who was supposed to be there to probably dislodge it. But the fact of the matter is he got beat on the play. It happens. It happens. He's not the only person to get beat, all right here, the only person to get beat. But

that happened. But and I wish I had coaches if I got beat like that. Yeah, he was supposed to have help. But that's crazy, liddle want to feel safety like That's why Earl Thomas made so much money. He was considered one of the best because even though he was in the middle of the field, he had an opportunity to help out on the deep ball on this side or help out on the deep on the other side. We call red line the red line safety he can

make it. And to realize, basically, six yards from the sideline, that's where if you're a good safety and you have range at the middle of the fil you're supposed to be able to get to those balls. But that's not, like you said, that's not guaranteed help. That's just if I happen to be there to help you, I do. But you still got to cover your button, you know, make sure you you you handle your business and that's why what AB did. He got beat by a better AB.

I will also tell you this ain't no way Earl Thomas is leaning anywhere besides Antonio Brown based off the way that game started, all right, he's looking right at AB. The matchup of AB and AB. He said, I'm I'm staying on this side until I see that he hasn't covered, then I go help somewhere else. That's and you gotta look at the safety who's in the middle, like Kazy. You know, he's a gambler. You know he's gonna want to go get something like He's not always gonna be

where his designs responsibility is. So as a corner, you gotta notice. You gotta know that. Look, Okay, he gonna jump something, he might not be there, So let me go ahead and play on top. N My boy got in a foot race with the wrong one. You know, it happens. We see Tyre, we see Tyreek. H'll do it too many people, so yeah, it has people get beat bros. It happens. You know he'll he'll be better next week. We'll talk about that. And look, and I'm gonna go back to what we said before Antonio Browns

go cook a whole lot of folks this year. I really believe that with what the offense they have out there with Tampa Bay and the chemistry that he has with Tom Brady, and clearly Brown is in the right frame of mind to play football, and obviously I think his edition helped them win the World Championship last year. So Lell Collins, starting right tackle of the Dallas Cowboys, who missed all of last season, comes back for one game and then we find out five games Spaghettios won't

be back until after the new England contest. Rick Johnson, you have some information for us, lay it to him. Yes, Well, as you guys know, according to the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the players actually don't get tested at all between April twentieth and the August nine, and they are don't get tested for THC. So obviously we know according to his agent that he's been tested roughly ten times a month for the last eighteen months last year. This whole last

year he's come zero zero positive tests. But we also know according to the new CBA that any positive tests that you get for THC you do not get suspended for anymore. You only get suspended if you fell to appear for a testing. So he has seven according this is according to his agents. If he has seven missed tests, and his agent is saying that they were on days that the Dallas Cowboys actually had a COVID reason to let the players not be in the facility at that time.

So his agent is basically saying that he wasn't here and we don't know if they were scheduled tests or if they were just like kind of a pop up test, you know, just to show up thing. But he, according to them, has missed seven tests. So he has not suspended because he tested positive for anything. He suspended because he failed to get tested. Basically, it's a lot of money.

But if it's COVID, I mean, if it was a COVID related situation, it's like, Okay, did the NFL and the Cowboys not communicate with each other on that saying like, hey, well the players weren't here today because of a COVID situation, That's why he was not able to get tested today. So there's like still a lot of questioning about why he wasn't here and was there not a communication between the NFL and obviously the Cowboys at that point, and

obviously with Collins himself. So I think that's like the biggest issue right now, and that's why that's what they're going to go out. When they're trying to appeal, it is like talking about, well, we were not here because of COVID related issues, because the Cowboys sent the players home or whatever the case flash missing five in the program. The NFL says, you miss it, you're not getting tested or ten times a month. If you're not in the program. Yeah,

you're in. This is the state, and they come to your house exactly if you're not. If they if they suspect you to be here and you're not here, you can call them and you can meet me at the house. Meeting me over here at seven left. You can meet them somewhere. I'm on my boat at late. Great body, come on through, Come on right, come on through. After after your first a second minutes, they called him the team. They say, man, what's up with what's up with with

your guy? You know, we like, this is our semon time trying to get in contact with them, and it still hasn't worked. The next time, we're gonna have to suspend them. Somebody told him this so so guy. And this is where I'm coming back to you because you played in the league. You guys understand this. How much do you simply put this on college? One percent? Five hundred and fifty thousand percent? Are we kidding? You're like this, dude, I just don't understand. All right, you're in the program.

You're in the program, and the program means basically they're gonna test you, like like Brin said, twice a week for the whole basically the whole year, or as long as you're in the program. Why if you know, if you know for a fact that test is coming, why risk anything? Why even like even if he has a little bit, you know, a thirty yeurine sample. Just I mean, why even put yourself in that situation. Yeah, and they

even increased it from last year. So it used to be a thirty five nanogram's permilla leader and now that's up to one fifty. So you can actually do a little something and be okay, because I mean countrywise, like regular jobs like is fifty, so it the NFL is giving a little bit of leeway. And usually if you do a little some you have like if it's one hundred and fifty nanogram's PERMILLI leader, Like you got like ten hours You could have done it ten hours before

and you probably would clear that. So like, I don't know, And yes, if you get if you test positive, you get a fine now, but you don't get suspended. So it's like, did you just not want to pay the money You're you're willing to take a chance and getting suspended and hurting your whole team and set of pain out of your pocket, Like I just don't that's the part O, It's joint worth it. Let's let's okay, but

millions of dollars' listing at all? Listen to because this is this is my fellow LSU talking and I actually like ELC. I'm very confused. We all like but but I'm also gonna say this. How many games did he miss last year? See? What do you how many is he missing this year? Five? Now? Did we not talk about something like this happening? Came into can't injuries? Neck? Is? I mean what we talked about. Listen, we talked about this,

all right. I'll tell you what. Hopefully in the near future we find a way to get us a for sure swing tackle somebody who's going to have to step in, Yes, they got they gotta step in and they have to be ready to play either behind my man Tyring, which played great shout out to him week one congratulations or seventy one seventy one. I just don't. I don't. I don't understand, man, because we watch it year in the year out, every time we have a tackle missing from

the game. It is an ugly showing for us. What do you think do you? What do you think that mind? You know the process is like you think, oh, you know, I'm invincible, or like I won't get caught, or if I do a little bit here, I can still pass the test. Like I just don't understand, Like it's millions of dollars. Why would you even risk that. We're talking about that after because I know, I know, I know some stuff that some people were able to do that,

you know whatever. So maybe maybe you just didn't think you were gonna gonna get hit that time. I mean, and you did. But it's the whole point is this isn't even about testing positive. It's about the fact that he just didn't didn't get the test. Like that's the crazy part. It's not testing positive. He just didn't show up. Well, that's what the agent yes to make sure it's going to say it is. So this is it is just

from you know, his positive spin. The agent's gonna come out here and dump fire on the on the clients. So that's there their spin on things. But ultimately it comes back into this, you have to be responsible for yourself. Yeah, he wasn't responsible as much as we all like him, but the end of the day, wasn't responsible. So now it's not available, You're not available for five games. And then let's just put it in where that has to be.

What the heck do they do against the Chargers? Now, Bosa um, you know where he's lining up a right over top of whoever still night to Secki, whoever's in there, that's where he's lining up, and he's gonna beat him like a drum. That's gonna be running for his life out there. I mean, let's because we all know they're not gonna do no chipping or we know they hate doing that for some reason. They don't want to help out the guys that are gonna be on the edge

against one of the superstars. This Seci can't handle Bosa buy us up. I'm saying it right now. We need to get some chips, some tight ends. But we know that's not gonna see Chandler Jones this week three sacks and yeah five bosa yeah five both and and a fumble force fumble against against Washington UM and then I think, uh, yeah, they they held Washington to three of eleven on third down defensively. So so this Chargers defense, which is we

already knew they were good. They had a nice performance. So and let's go around the table here, what do you want to see? Do you want to see Tying Secky Terrence Steele right tackle? Or do you want Zack Martin who missed the first game, should be back for week two to go to right tackle? Start with you score around the room. Zack Martin. We saw, we saw what he was able to do last year when they put him at tackle, and I think that's our best

bet for having a successful game plan. I think that if you if you have a weakness at the tackle position, it's going to wreck everything that we're trying to do, especially if we're trying to throw a fifty times in a game. All Right, you're already saying that we can't run it because we might be short on the old line. So now if your if your formula is to do what we did last week against a good defense, and you're a week at the right tackle positions, be along's

who many a long game for you. I agree, Um, I like I said before, I liked but McGovern did this last week. Zach Martin has played the tackle position before. He's our strongest offensive line guy. You that's who you got to put there. Yeah, I'm gonna go with sharl on that one. I liked what McGovern did um on Thursday. He was able to hold it down the running hole. The lanes weren't that wide, but the passing that that often blind did a great job of love giving Dak

Prescott time to throw the ball. So I like putting him in there and putting Zach Martin out there at the right tackle. But I would still I would still chip. I would still help him out out there because Lott, Joey Bosh, he's a dog now, he's a dog now, and Zach Martin that's not his natural position. So I would still help him out out there. But I think our best bet is to go One thing you know is Zake is gonna be chipping or blocking. All right, you, let's take our final break and I'll tell you why

all three of you are gonna be wrong. Here we go position. We'll do that right after break, right here. Players Lounge on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

Leal Coms is missing five games. He's trying to appeal. None of us think it's going to happen. So did the Cowboys at right tackle go with Ty Insecki, who's been signed as their swing tackle, or Terrence Steele, who started games as a rookie last year he struggled. Or do they put Zach Martin at right tackle where

we've seen them have success. I just have this feeling from watching training camp how they did not put Martinet tackle at all. They put all these different combinations that that's what they're going to do. And I just feel that based on what they're doing and what they tried to do, they're going to go give that its first chance. What do you think the easier position is to fill that guard or that tackle? If you're here comes the thing,

you're gonna put your best five out there. Because if you're putting your best five lineman, then yeah, you want to put McGovern and Martin on the field. And so you put Martin right tackle. Now, I want to ask you guys this his players, because this is something that and it becomes a ego type thing. Zack Martin was named All Decade. He's building a Hall of Fame resume as a right guard. He's already missed one game. Put

him out here at right tackle for five games. At six games where you're not at right guard, maybe you don't get an opportunity to make the Pro Bowl at that at your you know, at right guard. What goes into guys thought processes when they're asked to be moved from not only their position, but at a position where

they excel in this game. That's tough. Man. I haven't been in that position, and I don't I don't really know Zach like that, but I would assume, just based off what he was able to do last year and his willingness to go out to right tackle, that he's more of a team player. And I also think that the respect from the players around the league and the people who are watching, they will be able to see and be able to tell that this dude, no matter where he's playing it, he's going to be one of

the top offensive linemen. He'd be it at guard or being at tackle. He's still the upper echelon of players on the offensive line. So I don't think that that will knock him, especially if you go out there and he's successful. Yeah, I mean, and he's going to get a dog out there, like there's really a couple of things could have happened. I don't think this will happen, but I mean he could be like, hey, look, I don't you know, keep me here at guard. Like a tackle,

that's a whole different world out there. You gotta have quick feet. But he was able to do a good job last year, and the guy that he is and the guy that we know of him that he is, I think he would accept the challenge and then go out there head first and just do what he can to help this team win. I don't see him as a me first type of guy, but it's gonna be

a tough challenge for him out there. It's gonna be a real tough But if I was about to be a Hall of Fame safety and you try to move me line back from five games, I might be upset. But isn't the goal not Pro Bowl? It's super Bowl? So I think he would want a super Bowl ring before getting another Pro Bowl this year. Yeah, I like being a team player. I believe that's that's his thought. But you know, like I said, I think old lineman and then like DV and linebacker and all that stuff

is a little bit different. But but he's he's already we never winning a super Bowl, potentially never winning. But you get a Super Bowl ring, you get the accolade. Like when you're thinking Hall of Fame too, you think of like, oh, this guy has had three super Bowl wins. Like that to me is even above approach when the last time if he was a six time Pro Bowler or if he was a part of a Super Bowl team. Look, we talk about super Bowls. Yeah, I'm gonna y'all talk

about to say, y'all talk about super Bowls. What guarantee is if you play well, you're probably going to the Pro Bowl. If you play with it's no guarantee that you're going through the Super Bowl. So but for him, like you said, he's already he made the All Decade Team. He's already known around the league and amongst his peers as one of the best, one of the best. Fans vote anyway too on that, and fans are just gonna they probably won't even realize that he played right tackle

the first five games. They're still gonna vote him in. It's Zach Martin, Michael Gallup, m three to five games miss talking about the Caps strain for the wide receiver. What is your concern level as they get ready to go face the Chargers as an O and one football team at a three point underdog. Um, Look, I'm you know you hate to see it. You hate to see the guy go down with an injury, promising young receiver. But to be honest, I don't think we're gonna miss

him that much. Um, I really don't. I think we got Coop out there, and I think he's just he's gonna take his level up and up and up. Well he's a hope so for fantasy wise, but he's gonna take his level up and up. We already seen CD like. Those are the two I think Dak has his eyes on when he's in trouble. That's who I'm going to now. Michael Gallup, if you know, if you need be, he might throw him a sprinkle here there. But I don't think we'll miss him that much for these next three

to five games. That's tough because I think we're gonna miss him a little bit. I don't think it'll just be one of those things that we just move on the next man up. Because you know, when you think of Michael Gallup, you think of him making those those deep catches, those job plays. But and you think about him at the end of the games making those plays. How do you get a fourty yard game? You though that thing to Michael Gallup on a go route. He

was actually having a really good game before he went out. Um, So I think they're gonna miss him. But I think we have enough weapons if you include Zeke uh to um to win win these games while he's out. But I mean we'll we'll see how it works kill the more drawn up all type of pass plays, so I'm

sure we'll we'll get it done. Yeah. Well, I thought this was this would be the perfect time to get your even Steven, you know, pass and run game together, because now if Gallup is out, Okay, let's let's give the ball to Zeke more. Let's give him more opportunities even I mean, I liked Cedric even in this last game. You know, I thought he had a couple of goods or catches or whatever as well. So I think we obviously have options. But I think let's try it. Let's

let's do what you want to do. You want to get feed Zeke, Let's feed him more than Yeah, let's use that opportunity to get some more runs in there. Run up pass. I just want to see him get get the ball. The ball, Well, here you go, it's a rat, he's not Zeke. I don't think we'll be featured. Listen, listen, because I know we've been around out of the time, but this was this for next This is for our next show. Who is better Jarwin? Our shots about that

for this offense, for this offense show? You know I feel about that shows all day every day Jarwin. I mean, great, if we're gonna spread it out like that, and you know he's a vertical threat. He can he can hit the hashes and all that stuff, but consistently winning your one on ones. Shoultz is doing it. I mean, whether it's linebacker safeties. It might not be the flashet for the yard bomb, but he's gonna get you two or three receptions at ten yards of pop. He's gonna he's

a move the chancel win two point. Yeah, with a little bit of a little bit more sauce than Win. I'll get him a little bit more sauce and he's better than this. True. I really wish I could be in the film session when Blake Jarwin whiffed on that block and it's up there on what do you call the just circling that thing? Just see how that four points because if his missed block, that's more points. You're looking at the end of the football Zeke though, like

are you looking at my man? Like what are you doing? Ye, because because people were hating on Zeke and I'm like that safety made a great play. He did that nowhere to go that he had, no he had nowhere to go? What do you want Zeke to do? Like who you think he is? He ain't Mary, He's not buried. Zeke has never been at everybody like two years ago he would have did this. Zeke never been that guy to be able to make you know what I'm saying, want to apologize went. I think he was just like, hey,

makeing miss o. Man. That's it's rough, all right. That's players Lounge for Monday, September thirteenth. Barry Church, Britt Johnson, Danny mL Crawd, new He Scrubs.
