Player's Lounge: Shots Fired

whole week. I've been resisting, resisting the whole week. You're not gonna get me to go Pooki Poki's Pookie's not doing sour pets kids. Barry Church form Cowboys saying, heck Ma Harrison in the house. We got Danny McCray, former Dallas Cowboys safety here, and I thought it was just this show and Hitler. I guess Michael Parsons and downloaded the players lounge. He down on Jalen Hurts too. Man, What do you call him? Man? What do you call him? Man? What do you what do you call him? Call him?

Tim Tebow say that he called he called him a system guy, call he ain't doing it on his own system. Guy man, y'all offended? Y'all offended? Man, what's y'all y'all hot about that? Man? He thought? Shots at your man? Imagine that. I know football too well. I know when something ain't right. He know when something right. Just being out here leading his team. Well, it was one game one leading a division beat. The Cowboys put up twenty seven on us. Got you eat tasty cake? You eat

tasty cakes? Up all this whole stuff. I mean, I mean he started listening off players that they got. You know, they was in the conversation talking about the Fante now a j Brown, Miles Sanders, our quarterback, got them type of people too. So now you're gonna throw them stone. You gotta be I'm just I'm just saying be fair to the guy. Yeah, I like that Dak Prescott more like Jameon Hurst. But I'm gonna give him the respect of saying that the season that he's having it's outstanding.

I'm gonna pull a new on you guys right now. Yeah, you guys played in the league. You guys play, you know. The thinking about it is fock man, it's gotta be a slow news day. You know when it's like my wife, man, she watches the news every night, and when I passed by and see the TV, there's a guy in Roy City grew a hundred pound pumpkin. Like, there's a slow news cycle day. I mean, what's the big what's the deal?

When he says, like seriously, to anybody else knows football, when he makes a statement like that, you should just say, duh. Of course, every quarterback is a system quarterback, name one that comes to the huddling, goes, you go here, you go here. It's a system. That's not what he meant. That's what he would have said. Everybody's a system quarterback. So is it the team or is it the system?

We're diving into this. He wasn't more please enlighten me if he's basically saying that he's nothing without this team, because the team is built up perfect for him as a quarterback. He's having success. I'll give Jalen Hurts that he is having man monster success in Philadelphia's offense, that running game, that offensive line, that defense is Taylor made for him. Dude, he's gonna he's gonna run away with

the MVP award because for him. No. I mean because if you're you're running game, it compliments that defense that you have. He accounted for how many touchdowns for his team thirty five? Something like the thirty five touchdowns three thirty five in something something that's also that that's great, that's more than just system. I think my issue with it is when you say, I know football, something ain't right?

When something's off? All right? If the dude is playing within the system, protecting the ball, his team has only

lost one game, then the divisionally, what is off about that? Okay, if you're saying that the system is helping him out and he's playing, playing perfectly in the system that they got it, it's twenty eight other guys who cannot play in a system with a good defense and a good running game and he's having success and protecting the ball when our quarterback just through eight interceptions over the last six games and basically playing the same teams again again,

he gave the man props by saying he's having a great year. What's off? Though? What's what's off about it? When you looking at the guy who's playing who's about to win the I mean, it is something a little off about it, and I'm sure Mike is picking up on and then let's let's just say this. If anybody can talk noise in this league, it's gotta be Mike Up.

Come on, man, y'all, y'all be given a dude like he like ten years in the league, bro, I mean, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, wait, we gotta wait wait here he listen here a great player, but he can't he It would be a different thing if Jayleen Smith said it. Nah, come on, man, I'll listen. The man, the man, the man. Man can say it he wants to. But when y'all putting it on his name like he'd been in the league ten years, like that type of something, it's it's

I'm not saying this damage. I'm just saying I don't understand where he's what he means when he says that when something he knows football, he knows that throw y'a throwing the first before that before watch jayla Hurst got to the league already explained to you how I had the utmost respect for the guy for how he handled the Alabama and the Oklahoma's him with the Eagles, ersey On or not, I still got respectful to the the god just don't understand what's off. Do you see something that's all?

I don't see anything, that's all. But to me with the statement was said, was is it basically maybe I'm reading this wrong, but basically was he saying without that Philadelphia Eagles system or team in general, like, he can't go somewhere else and have that same success. Is that what? That's what he was saying. Y'all believe that he can't. I mean, yeah, he gonna start talking about Lamar Jackson.

So no, man, what are we talking about. The Ravens wain't got your tight ends and running games, so they so they can make sure that they can run quarterback power and have the middle of the field open for Lamar Jackson. So you're saying that Jalen Hurts is a forced multiplier that can go anywhere in the National Football League and have the numbers that he's having right now, that's what you're saying about. I'm saying that teams can put teams can put one of those one of the

quarterbacks that can do that. I believe. So I believe if you put this guy on, just throw a team out San Francisco, Sanci, he gonna have success. If you throw him in Baltimore, he gonna have success. Like now, he might not put up these god he numbers that he's doing. Now he's gonna have You said, San Francisco is having success with mister irrelevant. So I have no arguments with San Francisco. If you throw the Rams in there. I think if you Rams healthy, you put them on

that Rams team, he gonna have six. I think get better than Gino Smith. They seven to six, they about they fight for a playoffs spot. There's a lot of places you can plug and play jay Len Smith, I mean Jalen Hurts and you also, just like they did with la Mark Jackson, you can still draft and put people around them. Didn't they do that in Philly? Ain't that what they did for the guy we ever calling them back? Isn't that what John Elway did for Peyton

Manny when he came to the Broncos. Hey, what's Walker? Come on? I mean, this is what you do. Are we not doing that for that? Did we get them? Did we trade for Mary Cooper in the season when we said we need that needed more weapons? Did we did we have Tony Paul and they just got to come out the gap? You got. I'm saying that players loud. Okay, we talked about people's and their performance is negative, and then we also give people their props when they're playing well.

And that's not just Jalen Hurts, that's people from around the league. I just don't think it makes sense for a guy who's leading the MVP race in a lot of people's mind, all of a sudden, it's just not not that guy one. We always talk about knocking down the black quarterbacks. I mean, goodness, graces, come on now, come on, Danny, come on man. It wasn't no knock hither.

I'm just bro. The dude got the least amount of Inter seven League thirty five tous down and we were talking about he ain't he Ain't that guy right now when the MVP Lebar Jackson won the MVP, they want to knock him down only running quarterback. Sayalen Hursts can run, he can throw. We WoT to all types of highlights with the dude being accurate in the game. I'm gonna give him the respect that he deserves for this season of playing well. I still believe I still take that

Prescott over him. I think he's slipping right now for the has two games, but I still like him more. But I'm still gonna give Jalen Hurts his dude. But you make that's a great point. I mean, and you can say that for every quarterback in the league, especially Jalen Hurts. When you think about what A. J. Brown has done for him in this system that he's running, he makes him look good because his ability to separate. You can say the same thing for Josh Allen in Buffalo.

He wasn't the quarterback that he was until he got Stefan dis That's just true. Hello, you know what I'm saying. And you go to Minnesota, you could go all around the league. There are a quarterback wide receiver combos that make that work together. Well, what Jalen Hurts has with A J. Brown and Smith makes this makes it run better. I think the comment that Michael Parsons is making people are trying to make more of it really than what

it is. And he's just basically saying, in that system that they're running, they feature Jalen Hurts and he looks good in it. He's gonna win MVP because of it. But come out the gas man, it's off. I'm still trying to figure out what's off. Well, I'm just plus office. Beat the breaks off on Christmas, Seve get him another taste of take this time chocolate and na man, whatever it was, I'm coming back with it again. And listen, Michael Parsons and everybody. You know, I'm tied to the

own opinion. I just I just think the guy's having a good season. And fairness, when Michael Parsons get all his props and all the stuff they've been giving him for the last two years, Jalen Hurst, this year, it's performing well enough for people to give some damn props. I don't care how good you are the league. I don't care if you the damn reigning defensive Player of the Year. Those guys are still giving Jalen Hurst props.

And you can hear Vrom Miller on their laughing, like, come on, bro, come on, he laughing with you because he knew that. He knew that just blew up his rate. Everybody's going to go to his podcast to hear Michael make that comment. So you see that he Louis, do you see that as a slight? It was like on Twitter early when it too Jaylo was gonna sing Whitney Houston song like what she owed it to? What we're doing? No, no, no, this is this this ain't it ain't got that same Whitney.

Whitney is turning on. I'm told you know, somebody, somebody right, somebody, somebody shows you to take you can sue this. You this bowl, somebody listen to this. Um, And even varm was kind of come on, man, like Jalen Hurts has played sensational football, should be the MVP at this point in time. And to sit around here and try and make it sound like this dude is is y'all? Do No? Patrick Mahomes still in the league, right, Um? I think Patrick Mahomes is a fantastic player. But did you see

what Patrick Homes just passed? I'm just saying, y'all, do realize Patrick Mahomes still in the league. How many interceptions this season? I'm just saying, though, y'all, who Jen Hurts don't like single day in the game? Number ten and one, number ten one bro No One fantasy quarterback in the game. I know what I'm saying. I got me ride high eight two down to stretch. I have to start, oh, because it get me done. But but you know, I mean, look, I get it, I get it. Um, what you get

what's off? I'm not gonna I don't even know what off about the guy that's that lyon Pride. I don't want to say you better than me. It was like Jay Will one day on Yes, he said, I would never say that that another guy was the best player in the world. I would never say that. I could never say that. I'm just like, bro, I'm sorry. Um, at some point in time we all look in to our fields and say that's the best guy in the field. That don't mean I stink, but that's the best man?

Or what right you give creeple crad like that's that's the bar. At least admit that. But to sit around he act like this guy is just you know, straight pirate booty at quarterbacks, man smoking mirrors. I mean, come on today, you know what I'm saying. I'm just watching. I'm just watching just people. Just respect people. This week, man must be snow at was it slow new cycle? That's what it is, bro. They just trying to find

some dudes out there tripping. They got now you got They're gonna all be ready to go on Christmas Eve. Told out our quarterback like, not even him. It's the team, John John Clark. I mean they're killing Philadelphia with all this stuff. Did y'all Philadelphia needs anything for Dallas? Do you really believe that they gonna that is something that's gonna motivate them even more? They coming here on ski they tell them what we need a motivation to get

the Texas? All right, Maybe that's how they think about them. Their team. Mama, that's gonna be on the board. They never gonna have that thing. Just what you think about. Come on, man, this is it right, here's what they think about about. Bring out some bassline and put it right. They gonna take they gonna take. You gonna took that that boombox and they're gonna take that bassline. And right out there about Jalen Hurst, just Rulingsoline. Tell him, man,

you don't need it, bro, you don't need it. We were just talking about them, you know, barely beat the Texas last week. You got Jacksonville this week. Who ain't anytime Shrevor Lloyds and up etn them dudes can go off, Kirk. We got bo man fat out there, right. You better focus on what you need to focus on like jackal Hurst said, we focus on the Bears. Focus on the task at hand, that's the Jacksonville Jaguars, please please, and

then move on to Christmas Eve. Yeah, I just went on, Mike can come out there and tell about day we we're gonna be up twenty when we walk into the stand. Come on better, I know, I say something, better, say something. I got this dude out here, come here saying crazy sting, you know, because a lot of Cowboy fans would be scared, Oh my god, we're tending three to success, so we're too good this year. Who somebody said, No, that's what

I'm saying. That's what that's what you know. New and the rest of the pundits want Cowboy fans to be like, we're up by twenty for they get out the plane. That's man, I'm enjoyed. That's what it is. The knife, that's what we're going to knife. Yeah, you can't wait. It ain't over. It ain't over. It ain't older. It ain't like that. Put your name, put some respect on the man name. I just don't. I just don't understand

anybody else running around here doing that. Dak Prescott sitting out there with the stats man with something to test the start for me, man, because y'all right now, man, all this love for this, for this dude. Man, y'all killing me right now? Man, just y'all killing me man for the guy. That's all I'm just saying. I don't understand how y'all if we comments, I don't understand what's all about the guy. I'm watching and watching highlights too.

I've seen him. I seen him as running Man a couple of weeks two weeks up, man, But yes, I mean that's gonna make it even better though. Man, it's gonna it's gonna be a highly watched, highly anticipated, highly everything game. Yea. And what you think happening on New I don't know. I gotta see how we come out of Jacksonville and I not sick though. On dude ball, That's what I'm going down. I'm going down to. We're

gonna you know you can do that. Nobody can't hate on you if you pick them, dog, because then your other boys for real, they hoped me up for real, listen, tern still out, yeah, amen to that, still out. We got Kevin Joseph, who who would like they ain't going at random? Cats because I did see the round Blaine go out uh in base to play. Yeah, he was out the cornerback. But you got you got some questions you need to figure out. We need to figure out

what our offensive line gonna look like. We need to figure out that what's going on with him. We need him to get on the road before we get to play in Philly. So yeah, I'm not I'm gonna wait until I see if we can get out of this slump. How we're playing on. We're gonna we're gonna turn it up again. Teams that we should be like in Jacksonville. Hey, I'm not saying you just ran down a whole bunch of I can do both. I can look at some of the stuff on this team and say we need

to get it fixed. And I can still say I still think we'll win, but we still need to be a realist. That's just it's being a realist. I love it that you're not dalist. You're not idealist life the way I ain't. No, I ain't none of that. I ain't none of that. I know I got a good team, and I'm not letting you throw Jacksonville in the mix to make me think that they you know, we've been to go to Jacksonville and shoot an egg. They ain't gonna happen. Who's your you're picking right now? Jalen hurts

your back Prescott right now? Like this season? Right, Okay? I mean that's it, y'all. I don't know Trevor Lawrence. Man, listen, he's second on the second year of the league. Got the best, He's had his best game last week. They loaded, can run, they loaded a weapon, they can have a good defense. They got good. You cannot come in there slipping twelve o'clock, gonna hear some chance you cannot come They you know, up for a team and don't sell

out that will be sold out. You're gonna pick Jacksonville. It's East Coast. They played one. Talking to car to day, man, I got questions from Mike. Now, I'll say this, I don't trust them. Don't trust them. I don't trust them. No, No, I mean the one ten football games, but to just blindly took up jackson going out of problem. The AFC South invitation gonna ended on the big I'm not ready to go say that yet because I have questions. At the last week. You can't say that, No, no trust

requires three things, maybe time, proof and consistency. The AFC invitation, where we see last week, you come on, nobody was sweating last week? Come on, nobody had game? Yeah game, come on? Now we picks. I did not fall for that. I had Houston confany spread last week. I did not fall for it. Man, I picked twenty. I talked all that mess like like I'm doing not mess, but I was like, hey man, we sleep walking there. We could be in trouble. I still pick the win about twenty one.

I still did both, but but I know you then if you sleepwalking there, that seventeen points spread gonna be a four point when I'm just telling you like you do, you gotta you gotta com prepared to play. And if we can't prepared to play, I think we could have been about twenty one. You also have a coach who understands his team as well. Duck Peterson his coach many

games against the Cowboys. He does have an understanding of what Dak Prescott likes to do and seek eli So um just to sit around here and think, oh, write it down like it's not gonna be no gating, Like no sixty minutes. Let's go sixty football game four points. They always y'all was like, I ain't really worried we got and I was the only one on here, like, hey, there's some some concerns out here.

He don't know. He's the guy that gives the card before the bill. That's him. Talk about Yeah, wow, that's crazy. Okay, cowboys win this week and there in the playoffsk about that eleven wins. Oh man, we go added pressure. I don't tell you that done added pressure because Philly got a Chicago. Yeah,

I think we should both get these wins. Man, we should we should have a good Christmas. Yeah, we got a good game to watching Christmas Eve. I think we would be Okay, man, we gotta come in here, we gotta stop the run. We still we're still leaky in the run. We just leaky, leaky. We've been leaky in the run for years. Yes. And Jacksonville, you know they got some good running backs now down there at the backfielders. But like I said, on the outside, they got some weapons.

Like we're going against Houston who was out there two top you know receivers and still let old buddy go for what one hundred and twenty four out there. We're not going against that man who was the guy for you on their wide receiving corps. Obviously the guy on of got Christian Kirt from Arizona. But after Kurt, who's the guy for yous? And Marvin Jones or is it

is it Za? Both of those guys to me or or legit receivers and they're not you know, household names and ain't gonna be out there and burning, but they're legit receivers. And if you go out there sleepwalking, they can rounch you up and Jones been here for a while, of course, and that's the guy that you worry about versus number one. Yeah, either A Jones or Marvin Jones. I think I think we are like worried about everybody get something. I could even name the text receivers last week,

and everybody's like, y'all don't know. He's Carolina, baby, he's Carolina pirate. Pirate and look and look, I know Curse has been doing, you know, a good job on these tight ends. You know he's got but he got a beast down there, evan and hell of a game. He had a hell of a game. Pick him up one hundred and sixty two yards too tough. The man's a receiver playing tight end. Yeah, that's what he is. So that's gonna be a that's gonna be a sneaky good

match to watch that man, another mobile quarterback. No, I just I just picked him up Fantasy anybody have them type of league. You don't know what's going on over there, but hey, it's free, it's free. I got picked him up. Brock Purty trying to finish it, were trying to finish strong and these fancy football players, baby, I don't know, man, but I know we've better stop the run. I know, mobile quarterback, et n. They got good receivers on the outside.

There's gonna be a challenge for our defense, which I welcome because I think that the defense is going to be the unit that carries us deep tastic so so yo. We need these types, We need these type of challenges. We have ball. Run the ball. This team is seven to know when they run it more than they pass it. And another thing we're seeing here because last week no sacks against Houston. They need to get to the quarterback. When they're able to run the ball and get to

the other team's quarterback, that's your winning formula. This is what they've got to do, and that's where they're going to have the most success because I think Trevor Lawrence through the ball forty summer time. Yeah, so he's not gonna be quick draw. He's not. They're gonna to play a two quarterback system to throw off your safeties. He's gonna stand back there. He is mobile. I think that's the one thing about this year's Dallas Cowboys defense that

you worry about. Uh, they open up those big lanes for a quarterback to run. They've had trouble in that area. But I do believe that this is this this week. This defense can play discipline, but then you can unleash your pass rush. Um. I think the turnover game is going to be important as well. When you talk about Dak and the turnovers that he's had. That's the only thing that could keep Jacksonville in this game is if you have you know, two or more turnovers, So you

have to get that fixed. Well. Also, you can't be playing from behind because talking about pass rushing, and that's when you get in trouble with the Texas when you're down ten seven, you know what I'm saying, And they got the opportunity to ground the pound on you and try to play keep away for a while. Yeah, you like you make trimpor Launce throwing forty times. We got a chance to get back there and get some sex.

But you're playing from behind or it's a very close game and you get them the opportunity to stay in there by running the ball. Yeah, you're in trouble. Um turnovers, Key, you go back to Houston, you get turpi it. Okay, here's you go out here opening drive offensively score, defense goes out, does his job and then you got t dropped the punt. Next thing you know, they score. And when when I was up there in green Bay, next

thing you know, you turn the football over. This is out of Patrick scoring fourteen points off you turn overs. You got to play smart football. You cannot give another team, especially a bad team. You have to give him bad teams life. And those those two teams, green Bay in Houston took the life, made a football game. Cowboys asting over time to green Bay snuck it out against Houston. They're not good enough to just turn the football over

and play careless like that. They've got to be on their point against Jacksonville and anybody else on the schedule the rest of this year, anybody. And also believe you know, they gotta get back to that that third down dominance. When we look at this team throughout the beginning of this year, and you know through the latter part of these games, they've been great on third down defense, one of the best in the league. Last week against Houston,

Houston was at eight for fifteen. Yeah, that's a little bit over fifty percent. You're not gonna win games. You're gonna tire out your defense if you're letting these teams stick around and have long drives, and that means you gotta be better on third down. So not only you know, running the ball and starting to run and getting on getting after the quarterback, but you gotta be better on third down as well. Out offensively, we've seen we saw the Vic vange Vic Vangil blueprint rear his head again,

Lovey Smith, he called it. I mean, he had a good game plan coming in here. Uh do you believe that That's why they bought in t Y Hilton because for some reason this wide receiver group struggles with that. And I just don't understand. Mean, we talk about coverage quite a bit, you know, and you know when you have that cover two system, a guy comes, he's got to be anticipating that he's gonna get hit. And we could talk about dogs number one all that, but the

fighter flight gotta kick in. Somebody gotta be willing to get hit in the mouth when you come across that. Because we even saw it from jameson Hello, you saw washing, you saw from Michael Gallup shows, you saw it from Dalton shows. Absolutely, and so that's the thing like for me when I look back on last year, what happened to us versus San Francisco that came in and now physical to us because what they was hitting guys in

the mouth. Guys can't be worried about that. And we've been we've been talking, you've been on cde Lamb about you know, being the number one receiver. But those are the kind of things that he's gonna have to be willing to run into because they're not gonna just that for him until he actually shows that he can get it done. Yeah. I was about to say, because the reason you're getting smacked like this because the teams playing zone with their eyes on the quarterback, they eyes back

on the receivers. How can you get them out of these zone coverages? Why are they able to play zone on us so much? We ain't able to force them to get into cover one and have to cover these dudes man to man like that, And that's why you're getting smacked coming across the man. Please explain it to the people. I mean, because I'm think it's it's easier to say when you say that, I don't think people

can visualize what you're saying. I mean, we talk a lot about zone coverage and why it's so difficult to get those balls into tight windows. You don't see everybody playing Aaron Rodgers with no week zone. You don't see the other Why is he falling victim to that man? I don't know what I know what that that interception they do on that dough slat was in cover three. I know that linebacker came in like he was on

the first one that he dropped in. The Nickels drop right back under, and that it's hard for you to throw against those those coverages, especially when you get a

team that knows how to play his own coverage. Those windows are super tight, and I think us not being able to get these teams out of zone coverage, getting some concepts like if you running Cover three to Seattle over, figuring out where where the ball should go in those specific coverages, that's what's kind of making it harder on that man asked this question, you guys, just help me figure it out. So he signed t Y Hilton. He's

going to play. T Y is playing, and you know, just coming out the street, don't anticipate him playing special teams. Who's sitting down from the receiving court. We already know that is the man who's constantly disrespected on this team when it comes from players recruiting other people to whoever it is. You know, No, Brown's gonna say that he ain't gonna saw on the whole game. He'll get some

I'm saying he's gonna play though. James Washington is inactive, right, Yeah, he's gonna he gonna eat into um, what's it called his playing time Brown, which is unfortunately which and that's that's not like it's just okay, So you're you're you're all saying you think James James Washington is down this week. Yeah, he should have called he's the least proven out of as far as being on this team now and is run blocking his shady and he doesn't play teams Like

to me, that's crazy. How do you you know how many only one of your receivers that dress played special teams. I thought he did a little bit when I went back and watch the tablet. Okay, if James Washington catches that ball in the last game, do you think our outlook, well, somebody's outlook on him is a little different than it is now. Are you just you still just don't think

you think he doesn't have it? I just you know, I think the same question that you just used, just ask about zone and they're trying, and they're looking at this on film and saying, why are we not able to take the top off of these defenses? Why are you not able to execute this route well enough for Dac to be able to throw into that window. Because it's the same adage when you say, look, teams are not fooling Dak, they're not showing prancing in going into

the zone that they're actually in the defense. He knows exactly what he's looking at. But then when the linebacker makes the play that you just talked about, there's a there's a causing effect there that's causing him not to be able to recognize or at least try and stretch and go up the field. Either James washington't have a speed to do it, Michael Gallup can't do it, or

Ceedee Lamb is not even willing to do it. I'm still I'm still this little montage that I watched yesterday of Dak and go back to what we were talking about last year when Buddha Baker made the confidence, I mean a comment about how they can trick Dak in our offense into getting into certain plays so then they know what's coming. I've seen some players with a dude continues to try to throw certain balls uh into a zone coverage and then based off the look that is shown,

it's a little different through the same ball getting intercepted. Um, and I think that's it's going. That has continued to be a problem from last year to this year. I sent it to y'all when um, when we get out of here, let's get break break. We were cruising thirty five minutes half of the hour, so we're cruising today.

I like that about you. Barry Church, Danny cram new We scrugs. Jacksonville, Saxonville. At one point time when my man played for them,

Jackson five Cowboys. Who's the one player coming into this game that you're looking at and saying, I need you to be better. Go on the spot. God, you know what, Yeah, listen that that you want me to start? I know, I know. I I need boss Man Fat Jackson better, and not because he was bad, not because he was bad. Anthony Brown's out for the entire season, so that means they're gonna be leaning on this young man for the rest of the year, including the playoffs. Like they're depending

on him. He knows the defense better than new guys that they brought in. He's obviously their best next choice. So I need him to show that he's getting better each week. From what he did last week was five catchers like sixty nine yards. He blake tight coverage. I think now he has uh this challenge is gonna be a little bit harder for him, and I need him to show that he's getting better. He does that, then we got confidence in him. If not, then you know,

we know that we might be in some trouble. I'm going with the Zuka. I need a Zuka. I need to shut this thing down. You know, I think for the last two weeks is you know, teams have been scheming for him. You should get getting the ball out of their hands really quick. I think you got a Jacksonville squad that is going to I think Trevor Lawrence gonna hang in the pocket and that's gonna give this

defense an opportunity to eat. I need Michael Parsons to go ahead and you know, exact his dominance read exacts the bazuka. I'm gonna slide with my boy Neville Gallimore. Right, I'm gonna need him to step up a little bit. You know, early on I thought he this this guy's gonna be the next thing. But slowly but shortly hasn't really gotten into that defensive tackle rotation like I thought he should. To me, I need him to step up

because we see what old Diggy Zoo can bring. We see if we can get another guy next to him to do what old Diggy Zoo is doing out there. I think it'll be a formidal duo. So to me, never Gallimore step up a little bit more, wait before you go, because I know you're gonna switch it up. I like to see everybody's defense over here. Man, I was dead Quinn to believe. I believe he's gonna mess it up. It's Okay, yes, I am who was my

MVP last game? Jason Peters, Um the person I need to play, Josh Ball, Jerry, Jerry Unray and some much Josh Ball gonna play, oh McCarthy, and it's gonna be the interesting about the press conference today, McCarthy was talking about, yeah, we haven't really been sitting. We haven't set what we're

gonna do here at the right tackle spot. But he mentioned Josh Ball playing and he's like, you know what, there were a couple of plays that Josh Ball had didn't look good, but he said felt overall he liked what Josh Baul did. So if Josh was gonna be out here playing, he's got to be better. I need to see more from from from from seventy five because

those two plays he had Darne lost in the game. Yeah, So if he's gonna be out here on the football field in duval A, man has he cannot have any slipping. People can't walk you back. I mean they got good defense over here, by the way, guy, they are not. This is not It's been a better challenge in Houston. So um, Joe Philbin, whatever all they gotta do. I don't know if they want Peters to go to hold

sixty minutes. You know, that's an interesting thing too, because they they kind of asked that, like Competers go, he's fine. I didn't hear like, yeah, man, he ready to go even tiring. Ain't even saying hey may tire about ready to go sixty. They didn't say that. So this means we could see Josh Ball out here at right tackle and he's got to be better. M Men's so unconventional to see an NFL team interchanged their offensive line the way that we've been doing over the last couple of weeks.

I know they've been getting before the Terrence Steell Andrey just to see sometimes with Peter would come in and left tackle and they bumped Smith down to guard. I was like, that's weird. You know, you just don't see a lot of teams operate that way. So but effective and that's absolutely they have been effective. And you know, watching your guy Herbert the other day, guys out here playing with the backups and the backups out here and and it is it is across this league. It is

an epidemic with offensive lineman. But so so what they've done here and the Cowboys and no different having to get out here and go and you know, rarely do you have a team like the Eagles where they've been lucky. You know, they they pretty much held up on their offensive line and that's that's a big part of having

success in this league. And Mike McCarthy talks about all the time, if you can run out there, you're you're you're five guys and you can keep them healthy, says, you start to look at the record, how it will correlate. And from from the time the season started, Joe Philbin has done a great job interchanging so many football players on that Cowboys offensive line. So Josh Ball's got to

be better this way. Yeah, I agree. U. Yeah, I thought you're gonna say that, But yeah, that's got I mean, that's that's to be right, that's that's to be I mean, he knows it. Has he has he I mean, because of those tunnels, has put any doubt in your mind about him without even looking at the numbers of saying how they've been on third down, how they're the red zone efficiency, all the things that we had complained about

this offense before that they've kind of shored up. Now that Dak has been back in the fold over Cooper Rush. I don't think he's a top ten quarterback for the show. Yeah, I don't. I don't have a doubt on him. Um. I think my expectation for if we played the game this way, running the ball independent on our defense, that Dak, if we get the Dak who was reading coverages and making those tight throws and stretching the field, that we would pretty much be unbeatable. So I'm still waiting. I'm

waiting for that Dak to show up. The one where you know, we're talking about trash yards all we want to, but he was still making plays and making throws. I'm waiting for that guy. Uh. If you put that guy with this defense in the way that we're we're protecting the ball and and and wining the talent possession, I think that we I'm with you, okay, e Eaguals, we might be up about twenty Hello, wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. Clip that clip that at

the end of the clip that Chris he said it. See, you don't talk about till I ain't putting nothing in the South Patch either. That's cool, that's cool, But I know pizza, but we know it. We see, we ain't seeing that back over the last few weeks. Now, we ain't seen it, so we don't want Once I sound good, I might, I might come up to your side. All right.
