out at the stadium. You said that you're on the pre and post game show. Y'all got an opportunity to go out and do a live show, man. How was that just to be in at the stadium see all the Cowboy nation, Man, I know that had to being excited. I love that when we do those, man, because you know, you get around all the fans, the atmosphere is electric. You know, the Cowboys fans they love that. They love

the star. They love the star, So I don't care who they're going against, They're gonna root for the for the squad out there and it was amazing. It was amazing. Everybody was going ham. Some people had some beverages over there and they was going on a little extra ham. But it was a great time. The energy was amazing. Like you know, Kyle, he always does a great job driving the bus for me, Nate Newton and Isaiah standing back. So it was a great pre and post game show. Man. Now,

I love I love that, man. That's that's one of those new wrinkles. Man that Derek Eagleton is responsible for taking it out to the stadium. Loved that and the cowboy fans getting opportunity to get that just umbiance from you guys because you're typically here in the studio, not at the stadium. So that's a whole other they bring it hopefully and years to come, you guys can just be out and love it. You know what I mean?

You say that? Now, then Sep. Two and you got the three pieces side and they're gonna have to have a win machine on here. Let's show. But hey, but but here's the thing, man, I believe that I was the only one that predicted. I think I predicted the forty burger for the game, and then the Cowboys put extra pickles on that thing. It got it to fifty four to nineteen. And man, that was a game that really for me for going through three quarters it was

too close for confidence. Especially halftime. I was like, look, and it's going on right now. But then the Cowboys pulled away. Only three teams in the NFL and the NFL history of scored more points in the fourth quarter than the Cowboys did yesterday. And man, I will start with you, de Matt, give us something on the victory yesterday and what you saw from the team. Man, you know what, I just enjoyed watching the Cowboys be able to stick with the game plan no matter what was

going on. We down ten seven, don't matter, twenty one night, don't matter. We're just gonna stick with it. You come out in the second half, you got Tony Poulard out there running, and for a minute that I was like, man, Zeke, they lost his job. But I heard they had a little shake up. You know, he might have got a little discipline going on. Okay, I said the same, Yeah

that's going on. But but to be able to watch them, because but I love I was like, hey, man, if we stick to running the ball and playing defense and no matter what the situation is, sticking to that game plan. I think we have a success for I mean, a recipe for success here and showing up. Last night I watched that recipe come full circle. Run the ball, played defense, all of a sudden defense second half. He put up twenty six points. And what was I wrong about Jordan

Lewis and the run bland? I will admit that. Goodness, gration, My man is out there ball. I feel like Jordan Lewis. But when you out there, when you gotta go out there making plays like that, he's hard to get Rookie, It's hard to get him off the field. Man, it's hard to get him out the field. So shout out to the defense. Was still rolling in that running game because can't stop us. Yeah, without a doubt. They've stuck

to the formula since you've been gone. They've been leaning on the strengths which we talked about a lot on this show, the running game and the defense, and Dak has become what I think he's always been great at, which is the play action pass. I mean, that guy has been cool, calm and collected through the stretch of victories for the Dallas Cowboys. He does a great job when we're able to run the ball as well as

we have been. Tony Pollitt, I mean he I know, this guy has been a BAC's past couple of years, but this year especially, Man, he's really kind of jumped out the box for me, at least the way he's able to go in between the tackles. Outside of the tackle. He's a receiving threat out there as well. He's really become a complete back. And then you tanned them that up with Ezekiela, who still can have that tender rising

ability to beat down defenses. I mean, they got a great thing going on, and it looks like Kellen Moore he's gonna continue to stick with that run game and can stick with that play action pass. We saw the receivers out there ceede Lamb. I know I've been hard on I know I've been extremely hard on him. No way, you man, not you. But he's really coming into his own. He's growing into that number one receiver role out there.

You've seen it. When he gets that that swag about him, that confidence that snotty knows first down, When you see that coming, you can tell he's gonna have a great day him. Michael Gallup kind of came out there as well. So the receiving corps is going great. But we look over on that defensive side of the football man and

it's scary. It's got to be scary for opposing offenses out there when you can throw wave after wave of pass rush at these guys from Armstrong and Parsons and d Law, all those guys can come over there and make plays. We saw guys on a second level and the secondary making plays as well. That safety crew, Curse Hooker and Wilson. I mean that that might be the deepest unit since you know, the Wood, the Wood was out here winning Super Bowls. I mean that that unit

is extremely good. But have slight concerns. I have slight concerns because of the injury to our boy Anthony Brown. I know, you know, he just flack on this show for me especially and Cowboys Nation. But he has been a solid corner out there, a solid corner to go along with Trayvon Diggs, and it looks like he may be out for the remainder of the season. So guys are gonna have to step up, you know. Boss Man fat aka Calvin Joseph and the Ron Bland. Those guys

are gonna have to step up. But I can see I can see offenses kind of picking on them, on them young cats man, Kentucky's own huh yeah, Kentucky's own. Yeah. So Kendron Blade play outside. That's that's that's where I'm going. No, no, no, no, no, that's legit where I'm going. Because look, you've been away on assignment. All right, we'll talk about later about your assignment. So before you left, this defense was bawling. The defense was the reason why we were piling up those wins.

I believe it was a Cincinnati what game? Did you It wasn't out the Philly, No, it was right. So what happened in between Philly and yesterday was as Cowboy Nations started to have doubts about the running game. The running game started to fail, like there were breakdowns and we were giving up hundred No, we were giving us defense, and so the question started anything and bear with us. I'm just catching my boil that people started to ask

the questions about our defense. In our defense stopped the run. Our defense stop the run. When it came to the Packers game, we can't stop the run. That's what's beating us. This isn't a this isn't the top tier defense. They're not legit all of that. Over the last three games you started to see this defense not only be able to rush the passer but also stop the run. But with that, we've started to see teams take advantage of

the other corner, which is Anthony Brown. They hadn't had anything in the in the nickel, done anything in the nickel, but they had been able to just isolate and go specifically and gone through the bibblehead. You know, you get well soon my man about to be possibly, I see y'all out here. No, that's that's that's him, But that's him. But now that we have, now that he's gone, and you bring up legitimate concerns because the running game was one, but we've been trying to figure out how can we

solidify the other corner now that he's gone. Now, like you're in a state of limbo for real. So you're a Kelvin Joseph and the run Bland. If you had a choice between those two, you know, Danny, who are you going with? Man? Look, um, I haven't seen the Ryn Bland play outside. But playmakers are playmakers. Okay, So if you end up in a situation where you are in basic defense and you only got two corners out there,

I'm giving the run Bland a shot. Okay. I'm he's he's gonna have some a learning curve of figuring out how to play outside, just like Orlando Scandri did when he got out there. But he's you gotta learn some time, all right. But I'm gonna give him those rips and then when you get the nickel and done, yeah, I'm gonna put him back at a nickel because he's making some outstanding blaze at the nickel position, so you don't want to lose that by then putting Kevin Joseph in

at the nickel position. But I'm gonna give the Ron Bland a shot out there at outside corner and listen to something that they know that we don't were they've seen him at the outside position and they don't have that much trust in him. I would like to see him on the outside. I think he you know, he has that kind of kind of swagger about him, kind of that vet presence even though he's a rookie out there. Yeah,

I would love to see him out there. It just just makes me a little bit nervous because it's the same thing with Anthony Brown. We were talking about that size factor. I've been saying it since, you know, last year. It's a fifty fifty ball With Anthony Brown, he always has great coverage out there, great technique, but at the point of attack, right when you go up for the past, he seems to not be able to win those fifty

fifty balls. And the Ron Bland as good as he's been playing, Like you said, I haven't seen him on the outside yet. I haven't seen him on the outside, so I worry about his overall size out there and his speed. I don't know if he has that long, long speed because we always see him in the slot going back and forth. I don't know if he has that long speed to be able to hang with educating me on the difference between playing the inside and playing outside.

So inside, basically it's a lot of quickness, it's a lot of lateral. You gotta have great eyes understand what you're playing against. You're gonna going against the shifty guys, not necessarily guys that can just straight straight line burn. You're going against the cold Beasley's of the world. Guys that are extremely quick, not necessarily fast, but extremely quick. So you gotta have good side to side movement in the nickel. On the outside, you're dealing with a lot

of straight speed. You'll either straight speeder or coming back. The routes you're gonna see on the outside go ball, digs and comebacks for you know, nine out of ten. You know, you might see a double move here and there, but those are the routes you're gonna see out there, and the guys are gonna get tested. So I want to see if he's able to hang on the outside, like you said, in a base situation, I would love that because you know it's it's basically you just get

two wide receivers out there. Not too many shots going out there in your base package. But when you get to nickel and they spread that thing out, that's when your shots start coming. But like I said, they go to nickel, he's probably gonna move back on the inside, But I love to see what he can do on the outside as well. And nickel. You also have to be very smart player because you got to be able to understand zones and route concepts as well. So it's

not easy. I think it's easier for a Got to go from nickel to playing outside than it is for a Got to go from outside to coming in and playing nipple because it's a lot of different stuff. You got to be able to see, and you also involved in the run game as well. You might be feeling B gaps or A gaps depending on what pressure or what alignment that you got as well. So you got to be really smart to play in there at nickel.

And I think the point that you bring up about Anthony Brown, he has been matched up for some giants, That's what I'm saying on the outside, and so maybe that point, but high pointing the ball, it had been a specialty, especially when you're getting boxed out by six five receiver. So he's had to deal with a lot of that. I guess, you know, really he hadn't gotten the benefit of the doubt because tray Von Diggs is still having a hell of a year. Although yesterday, boy

who hit him out, he got hit with a double movie. Yes, I'm not gonna lie to y'all. Like I came back and I saw that, and I didn't even feel I felt in no way about it because I was like, if you have a team that russes the passer like like we do, then you gotta be prepared to jump those type of short rounds because you gotta know a man, Michael Parsons and them are probably getting there, so they may not even have time to run a double movie something. I watched it. I was just like, I take that

he played that guy. He just can't run it out of the way, Like, nah, it ain't me when you tripp going down the hallway to help, don't nobody to see it. But do we have to go get a guy though? Nah? I don't think so. I mean, because right now you're sending that trademun digs. You're worried about what you got at you at your at your other corner spot. Boss man, you got how many games left?

I mean, what you don't want to do is be limping into a situation to where all of a sudden you don't have another guy ready to go at that cornerback spot, right, So like, you don't have to go get a starting guy, but you might want to go get some some depth that you can trust. So goop and went down. So I don't know what you know oh there's a reason why, you know what I'm saying. So you brought up the word trust. You brought that

word time consistentlycy improof. Yeah, yeah, yeah, You've only saying so many times. I get it. You know how long when to do it? Yeah? You know, so I forget it. So, but when it comes down to Kelvin Joseph and I ask you this before the show, but I gotta know, like when just throughout the week, what is a play because he's not he hadn't been starting what has been

his reps? Like, but also when you see him on the field, what does it look like to you as as former players, Like what does it saying like, Okay, this guy isn't do you feel like he's it's a lack of putting the time in or is it a lack of getting the opportunity during the week to get those reps. I think it's more of a lack of

putting it, putting the time in, you know. And I could be completely wrong with this, I could be way off base with this, but to me, it seems like he's a guy that's kind of living off of his talents, going out there and just being I'm a pure athlete. I'm gonna go out here. What's wrong with that athlete? This guy? You can't do that because eventually coaches are gonna realize, Okay, this guy doesn't look at tape all like that. We're gonna go ahead and take advantage of

this guy because he's just going up to me. And like I said earlier, I could be completely wrong, but to me, it just looks like he's a guy that's gonna be like, Okay, I'm an out athlete. This guy, I'm gonna just lock him up, just on pure technique. And you can get away with it for so long, but eventually catch are gonna start scheming you. We know how smart these coaches are in the National Football League. And if you're not watching tape and seeing how you know,

all right, they come out in this formation. This is their favorite route concept. All right. If that come out in this formation, they're gonna try to attack me this way, You're gonna be out there playing blind. And I've done it before. I've been that guy. I just you know, ay clocked then clocked out. I'm coming back into the stadium. Hey,

whatever happens, happens. You can't go out that way. If you want to be prepared and be that guy that's gonna take this team to the next level or take yourself to that next level, you gotta put that extra time in. But like I said, I could be completely wrong with that, but that's just what I see from watching these games. When when you look at Kelvin Joseph from where he was year one to right now, have you seen him at least make any strides or look any better or is he still the same player from

his rookie season. Man, if he has gotten better, it's not visible to me yet, all right, because what happens is when you usually see him get in the game, people are worried. People people on our staff, our side of the side of their word, they're like, oh, man, we're gonna be able to hold on while the guys in the game. Opposite of what you may think, because you could be wrong, but you could be right. But if you ain't, then some people just don't have it

all right. Some people just don't have it. Maybe he needs another year to figure out if if that's something that he can do be one of those type of corners. But it just lets you know as people are making fun of Anthony Brown how hard it is to play cornerback in the NFL. So if you're laughing at a guy like that, saying that he may not be good enough, well your backup guy got some issues and you need

to get that figured out. Does he have it? We still don't know if Kelvin Joseph is a starting cornerback in the NFL, and I don't think we're gonna find out this year. I hope we don't. I hope we don't. I hope we figure out a way one to mask it a little bit, figure out a way to get them some help in those big time situations, because him one on one is gonna be a problem, and there are going to be quarterbacks who are going to find them about Jalen Hurts because they got some guys on

the other side where you can't hide. Yeah, you can't hide. I'm just saying you can't when you ain't been back, when you when you when you line up like I'm just I watched the guys yesterday, I watched I watched us play a hell of a game yesterday in the fourth quarter, and I watched the Eagles play a hell of a game yesterday. We are two good football teams. So I think it's fair to say, hey, man, they got Devonte. I mean, uh, they got and they got a j Come on, man, you need some guys who

can cover. I got time to ask you something real quick. Both go ahead, man, go ahead. With the injury to a B, can you see this Dallas secondary making dig shadow people because that's something we haven't seen all year because they have faith in Anthony Brown and rightfully so, he's a solid corner out there. But with him being out, can you see Dick start to shadow that team's number

one passing three. I would I would think that you would off the top because of what we saw with with Jefferson when we went to Minnesota and we saw the job that he did. And I think it's just something that dan Quinn is just hadding his arsenal that he's holding back maybe for the for the playoff run and just not wanting to expose it. But right now our young group, I feel better about Durn Bland. To be honest with you, to me, Duran Bland is a

guy that's taking advantage of his opportunities. And I love guys like that. You know, guys that the moment is not too big for him, and I don't feel nervous for him when he's in the game. But the other guy, just my confidence level just seems like he's in. It's always him, even whether if this special team or something. It's like, dude, come on, man, you like, don't do that,

don't do this. And when that play, when that play happened and they got the touchdown that you know yesterday, I'm saying to myself, I'm like, why isn't they be in the game. And I think that's when we were made aware about the ankle injury. Now that's turned into the Achilles ta. Yeah, I think you do depending on who you're playing, ok, you know, and I'm not trying to harp on this. When you play in a game, like when you play a team like Feeling, I don't

know if you can shadow one guy. But then when you when you go to other teams who have just a star guy like like Adams or Jefferson, guys like that, Yeah, you go shadow those guys, but you don't want to get in a situation to where they know exactly where treyvon Digs is gonna be. It. When you have multiple wide receiver thoughts out there and you just you're just letting one sit out there in the entire day getting

picked on. That's like, that's worst case scenario for your defense. Well, we got a guy in the building today that is used to making star cornerbacks. Life's miserable and uh, y'all know who I'll talk about. We're gonna go back. You're gonna go into that, y'all. Stay with us, State Rocket with us here for more of the Players Lounge.

gonna be nice. Hey man, man BC back in the building. Guys, Odell Beckham Junior. Odell Beckham Junior is here. Man, I'll tell you what he is a motivator as long as he is hovering around these Ceedee Lamb boy here. I watched Cede Damn dropping bucket on somebody trying to you know, Ceedee Lamb has been rejuvenating with all of this, and I just want to know, Barry, you have not been on board with this lane on it big down. He's in the building. After last night you saw your wide

receivers go five for seventy one a tub. You saw Michael Gallant four for twenty three and two two two tubs, Danny also Dalton shows two for thirty three, no tubs. But still this tight end group of solid and doing that thing. We talked a lot about what these young tight end has been balling by the way, I've seen as Yeah dropping over playing wacamole and we're doing I think he's here, man, he's in the building. Do you believe they let him out? Do you believe if it

was up to me. It's not up to you. I think I don't think. I don't think they signed. I don't think they signed them. I think they really want them, you know. I think they really want them in the building for whatever reason. And I just don't think they come together on numbers. I don't think the numbers add of and I think he leaves without one. But to me, it's like, I don't I don't see why. I don't see why you just name goll cd lamb out there balling,

Michael gallup two tubs. We've seen what these tight ends can do. They supplement that third wide receiver. Noel Brown will still do this thing a little bit. As tp Zeke, we just talked about the formula for success with this offense, run the football and use play action. I just don't see why the need to bring in Odell as great as he wants was. We're not even sure if he's still at that caliber. But let's just say he's up there a little bit. Let's just say he's still got

that juice to him a little bit. Do we need to add that to this offense? You know, the one and two catches a game, the one and two plays. He may make a game. Do we need to add that to this offense. I'm not so sure we do, because I feel like if we do bring him in here, we might just just Mike could be completely wrong, but we just might go back to that maddened playbook that we just that we just now got rid of keller

More that B Madden playbook. People, he threw it on fire. Yea, we are in the midst of a great run right now, where this offense is leaning on his tracks. We got back to the twenty and sixteen resume. You talk about it all the time. What did we do in twenty sixteen? We ran the rock play action pass and it was deadly. We back to that same formula winning games. Why go ahead and do that? Why go ahead and stir the pot a little bit? I just don't see it necessary, Danny.

I'm gonna appeal to your optimism, all right. If with a fresh set of eyes, a fresh side of eyes, all right, you pull up on this steak and you see CD doing what he's doing, but you realize that there are there's there's still more to be desired, you know, if you give those let's just say Odelle first half, Odell Beckham in the in the Super Bowl. You give him four catches here, that's that's four four hundred, that's that's two tough, right, Listen, I'm a who won Triple

Crown last year Cooper Cup. What happened when O'Dell got there? Did he take anything away from Cooper Cup? No, not a thing. But he was about to win the Super Bowl MVP. They were about to be the best receiving corps in the NFL. This is this is the Odell that is coming here. This was months ago, all right, So he ain't changed that much what we know about Odell's He's been able to come back from these injuries and still be a top notch player. All right, Why

would you bring him in? Why wouldn't you, especially if it's cost friendly, if you could get him in here for a nice deal to where it's like one he had a one year deal in um in La. Yes, he didn't break the bank on that one. So I'm not going to even assume that he's coming in here to break the bank coming off at acl injury. If you can get a guy like that and say all right, for whatever happens in the next two or three years, we have O'Dell Beckham here. No matter what, I don't

see a reason for you not. He ain't coming to get ten fifteen catches. He was okay in LA, we're getting three or four catches of being a guy where you had to double them in the slot or you had to double them outside, and that help your running game, and that helps your quarterback be able to decide who he's gonna throw the ball to and make quicker decisions.

I don't see a negative with it, especially if Jerry number telling him the truth while he's here, this is what your position is going to be, the same way LA told him, Hey man, you might be a number three. You might not even play the first few games. And he got out there, didn't play but two or three snaps in the first few games that they ended up needing it because somebody got hurt. Yeah, my man was about to go Super Bowl MVP on him. He was.

He was about to go, this is the guy who two years from now, you be like, I don't know what happened with gallapar cd CD, we might not want to pay you a hundred and whatever. Why we got a guy in here already that we may be paying eight nine million dollars and CD make the decisions, see what you want to do. I think that's the business thing that they're thinking about. But hell yeah, I'm getting the oldell in here on this because I'm not letting him go nowhere else and watch him beat me in

the super Bowl. But is he Is he still that guy? Though? I mean for what you're paying for it, it don't do it really matter. So I'm saying, if you if you pay him a minimum deal, which is what he took in LA. Last time you paying a minimum dealing and it don't work, what are you losing? I get it, if it was a minimum, I'm all with you. I don't know if he's gonna brother dude coming off a cl he took minimum in LA. I don't see him coming in here trying to break the bank. So I

wouldn't break the bank for him. But if you're gonna get him, keep it from another team. And then, just because the Cowboys are known for this though, Jaylor Smith, Bruce Carter, Sean Lee, you pick up guys and you say, hey man, we're not gonna spend that much money. I'm not gonna go to high in the draft pick. But if it pans out, we're great. If it doesn't, then it don't. How do you feel about all of this?

I don't want to call it a media frenzy, but it really has been a lot of the media talking about him and him taking this tour of all these different teams, but him not actually being able to be an impact player for you this year. He may not, I mean, it may be something he may pay out for you in the in the playoffs. And are you

okay with that? I'm not. You'll understanding about the same people over here they talk about Tyrn Smith practicing this week and everybody over here getting excited, and this was and this is the end of the season. They talk about Tyrant gonna be back for the playoffs. Everybody excited. Now you're talking about Odell might be coming to him. He might be able to make an impact for you

the playoff. Can't get excited. I'm more excited about O'Dell being here than I am about Tyre Smith possibly starting the left tackle for us in the in the coming weeks. What women scolding me for saying? So, what's your thought on the left tackle position? Look like Tyler Smith been doing pretty damn good to me. You draft you drafted him in the first round. Keep speaking, my brother, I don't know why you draft for guy in the first round to be the replacement for Tyrns Smith, who was

an aging guy. He steps in and does exactly what you expected him to do and what you're gonna do with him now put him at left guard. Yeah, when you see that, when you I mean I saw that too in the game where they were putting they were transition to those guys back and forth. I saw Peters was going out to left tackle and then Smith was going back out, and I'm like, man, why are they doing that in a game? You know, but you know

exactly why they're doing it. I think at the beginning of the season, everybody was thinking that no way after the OTAs and the two days that he was having, that he would be able to transition as well as he has out to left tackle. But you're seeing that, especially on that Tony polit long run when you see seventy three out of here, I mean, he looked like young Leell Collins when you see Tyre Smith do that. But the last time you see he tried to he tried to rip his hamstring off the bone. I'm I'm

look once again. I liked Tying as a person, But did you see the clip my man was going out on the screen passed Tyler Smith running all the way to the ends on yesterday. You gotta be able to do that when you were a running team. You gotta be able to have guys who are going to lead the way like a l O Collins, Trent Williams when he's doing it. When is the last time you've seen it happen from Tyren Smith? You ain't seen it. You

talking about Tyren Smith being a great left tackle. One he is when he's healthy, but that's specifically a lot of times specifically and pass blocking, well, you know what don't matter. If you could be big maca Skinnon, Mac, you still Danny. You're still Danny. Listen. I like the guy. Saw what they did the Terran still last season? Yeah, okay, he wasn't right until the next year. Yeah he's right. Now. You got this rookie out here who was doing his

thing at left tackle. All the commentators looking look at Tyres Smith doing all No you are, but he did it so great that he's gonna play left guard. Let me let me ask you this the macas we are talking about this a couple of weeks back. But everybody, we all talked about everybody getting after you know, oh damn,

we need O'Dell here, We need O'Dell here. Would you do you think it's slightly disrespectful to the other wide receivers that don't have the bag Noah Brown to be exact, that all these other teammates of his are saying, we need on social we need old Dad, We need to see what he brings to the table. We need old we need to do you think that's disrespect for the Noah Brown Yeah brings and my teammates doing that, then

we're not friends. Thank you. I'm saying disrespect. Were hanging out, we're playing tunk at the crib, we're going out to eat, doing receiver then as all that stuff, everybody dabbing me up and I'll get a touchdown, good catch, only to know that you like you really ain't that good. We want somebody else to be better than you. Yeah, we ain't cool. Don't me live being for nobody else to come out if we're friends. But if we're not friends, you just gotta do what you gotta do it's Odell

better than No? Yeah? Ok, yes, I was about well, instance, this is a comparison business, so when you're looking at an organization coming into the season, it was about can't we find somebody better? I think they put too much credit up too much on Jayalen Tilbord. He didn't pan out as a young receipt. He didn't pan out as a young see with some of the other guy Dennis Houston. We started the season with Dennis Houston. That didn't go well. We waived him and gone on. Let me tell you something.

If Barry Church is starting at Safety, I ain't lib being for nobody to go get a read. I don't give a damn who he ain't better than Bury because we're friends. I'm not going on social media talking about we need to go get somebody else that maybe better than than my guy. I'm just not doing it. That's Jerry and uh that's day. Even if he is better, I'm like, nah, I don't nothing not better what I what we're doing. I got to go hang out with

the guy after. But we're talking about a starting Barry Church, who is your one, He is your guy at the versus a guy that is your considered your fourth best receiver. Man, Hey, I'm just telling you, if you're my friend, I don't give it. I don't care. Make it private. You can talk about it the card you ain't got. You ain't got to put it all out that question. Yeah, but y'all take it, y'all taking it personally. He's open to These guys have been openly recruiting Odell Beckham and then

openly recruiting him for future purpose. They ain't looking at him just right now this year. They're looking at years to come with with Olddell, Mike Gallup and Ceedee Lamb. I'm patty though, because I'll be on Twitter to lobby for people. They position. Who was it? What was the older that I'm going to libby for Tom Brady next season? The bill. I ain't gonna mess with Parson trying to lie somewhere. You can't. You can't libby against the guy that's the best of the league. You can't do it

for everybody else. Yeah, free game. They still ain't ask No Brown his thoughts on the whole situation. No Brown, I want to talk to nobody. Man, what y'all but we're gonna take our final breakhead and left this That cool Danny that came back with all the five he put chases on everybody. We'll be back with more players, louts.

Got us caught us right back up, got us right back up. To speed Barry Churches in the building, and for the last segment, I got to talk about the big briefcase, because man, he really didn't have a bazooka

call of day yesterday. He wasn't. But Zuoka is I believe a pressure, a hit and two tackles yesterday when you see something like that, and I have my assumption about it, but I want to I want to ask you guys specifically, when your playmaker on defense doesn't have a day but everybody else does, what do you think about that? Man? Man, that's when you gotta go back and you gotta watch the film and see why he didn't have a day. How much attention was he getting?

How much How many times did he give somebody else open? Right if he did an et stunting both guys picked him up and the other guy came free. How many times did that happen? Because that is impact. That's impact on the game. Maybe not in this that sheet, but in the game, that is an impact. And I used to say the same thing about the Marcus Lawrence when people are like he only had two three sets, I'm like,

did you see him in the ring game? Did you see how many other guys were open because he was getting double teamed on the edge, or he went in he played the three technique and then forced the double team and let let the other guys come. That's when you gotta go watch the game and say, what was the true impact of this player in this game? And I can guarantee you that it was a lot of attention being paid to a guy named Michael Parsons, and he gave a lot of other guys opportunities. The reason

they throw a quick game, it's because Michael Parsons. The game plan is affected because of Michael parsonsfore they even get on the field. That's what out of doubt. And then you're completely right, de Mac. I mean it to me, it comes down to just the attention that he's been able to get because this guy has been consistently great for two straight years. And if you don't give him the attention Live Minnesota when they were just letting him go one on one, Hey man, you gotta go watch

the highlights. You know, you just gottah man, just watched the first half. But you see when they were doing they was letting they've got what was an ego, I don't know what it was, but they was giving them one on ones and that man wrecked their whole game plan. So to me, it just attests to how great of a player he is, because I'm sure if we really broke it down, there's a double team here, triple team here, Like all the attention is going towards Michael Parsons, and

you see everybody else eat off of that. Donaldan Wilson winning them there and got a sack, the defense flying around, creating all these turnovers, And to me, it's specifically because of that one man out there that so much attention has been being focused on him. Make sure we take care of Parsons. Make sure you take care of number eleven out there, and if you don't, he gonna wreck

your game plan. So to me, I understand he didn't have a great day then as far as stats are concerned, but I think his impact on the game was still huge because he was able to get everybody else one on ones and they were able to take advantage of it. Absolutely, And that's the thing. That's the thing that you see in the media and people talking about him, and it's

just race for the defensive Player of the Year. As we were talking about on Friday to me, Jeff Saturday, as a form of offensive Lineman said, We're not going to allow number eleven to wreck our games. We're just not gonna allow this to happen. So we're gonna slide protect, we're gonna chip, we're gonna do everything that we possibly can to make sure the number eleven does not disrupt our game plan. And consequently, what he did was let everybody else do it, just allowed Doniver Wilson to come,

you know, free and wrecked in Sackers quarterback. But before we get out of here, man, I got to because this guy's been under so much scrutiny and I want to end with him. Dak Prescott and the game that he had yesterday. We talked about the recipe for success that you have been clamoring for this whole time, and that's running the ball and the balance that this offense has. You see the running games starting to play dividends, but also the play action passes you were talking about, Barry,

these things that are just completely fooling. Uh. They excuse me, defenses, but Dak isn't putting up the numbers that let's say, critics people want to see from the elite quarterbacks. However, three let's go, okay, twenty times connecting thirty twenty for thirty excuse me, one hundred and seventy three touchdowns, one interception. Not for you? You do you tell these numbers all

day every day? Or are you saying this to yourself after watching Dak's performance yesterday because he was a little off, I would say that that there was more to be desired from Dak. Or you're saying, look, I'll take that every time. From that to me, I'll take that every time, especially if it comes with a W. I mean to me, I don't see. You know last year that first game against Tampa Bay where you threw the ball forty five times,

almost five hundred yards, all that good stuff. I think that was the worst thing that could happen because then we looked at it and said, Okay, we need to rely on Dak's arm in order to get this offense where it needs to be, when when that's not really the case. You know, this year, I think they've come to that balanced approach where look, we don't need to for all the weight of this whole offensive production to rely on Dak's shoulders. We got a great running game.

We got two beasts at the running back position. Let them eat as well, and let Dak pick and choose when he wants to take shots and when he wants to pick apart defenses, because I feel like he does have that ability to pick apart defenses. So to me, as long as these ws keep piling up, I don't care if he went out there and threw for a one hundred and five yards. But if you continue to

with this formula successful, come Tampa Cooper rush stats. I'll take the all day one because those three touchdowns one hundred seven yards means that when he got when he got in position, he closed the deal. Yeah, all right. And what I also seen from Dack last night was my man is extending plays. He's getting out of the pocket. I still down the field. Let me find Michael Gallip, and Michael Gallop finishes into the end zone. And this

is what we saw in twenty sixteen. We saw this extending plays, play action, third and short defense playing well. And what happens many thirteen and thirteen and you're moving and you got a possibility for you to go deep into the playoffs and possibly contend for the Super Bowl. And if you continue to do that this season one seventy two hundred, then you're great. Don't forget that. The reason why Dak was leading the league and all those yards is because we were playing from behind and we

weren't running the football. So yeah, he needs to have five thousand yards because that's the type of game we were playing. But it wasn't successful for us. This right here, this is success. I take one seventy three touchs. When you get into the red zone, you get three of them. Oh yeah, I'm taking them. Man. You know what this man like? Yeah? Man, we got d mac back. Man. Well, he made so much sense when he talked about the cowboy. When you get to talk about the Eagles, that's that way.

Ain't go off the rams when he started talking about the Eagles. Mann, but no good Church got on the Eagles colors. Okay, I didn't need whet green today. I ain't need whet green today. My man got on the Eagles colors. Okay, I left. I came back them dudes, only we lost one game. That's what I know. You want to run the tasty cake back. You're gonna gonna run the tasty cake back back. Yeah, forty you said forty twenty. It was twenty twenty. Hell yeah, we were.

Now we're gonna get we're gonna get some different points different wrong for that orange taste. Yeah, you should have gave me something better than that. What game do we said, it was the one you chose. Stop just stop right there. We want to thank you all for the players loud new he struggle, you get better, get better thing. We'll see you tomorrow here on the players loud. Oh yeah,

oh yeah, thank you for that. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
