Player’s Lounge: Take The Points

before you were born, they were good. They were Then you got born and they got rid of on a good I mean they got rid of Barry like they got rid of down talk about negative, and then you were though. Anguins got nice as I grew up, Not the penguins, but the penguins, the pang Yeah, I ain't know that the panguin. I ain't. Ain't got in there a little bit. Church is a Pittsburgh native. I'm newly

scrubs Players Lounge brought to you by Tostinos. The Dallas Cowboys come away with a twenty four to six victory. They yes they did, Yes, they did three at half to the Detroit Lines and guys, um, let's talk politics here. Politics. Yeah, let's we're talking politics, politics as usual. Because it was pointed out to me from from Sean Sharif one O five three to fan when I had him on last night. He says, Now, when you talk about Dak Prescott on

social media, it's like a political topic. People. It's like you've got this whole set of people who spent their first half madest. Heck, it's not worth rush can do this. What are you doing? I mean, it was the first throw, the first throw, and I don't know if you checked social the first throw, which it was a bad throw. It was over threw him, and and people I complaining, complaining, compl and they won. And my goodness, gracious, I turned

on the post game show. You have fans moaning and grown it and Dak Prescott um in the game nineteen a twenty five, two hundred and seven yards and a touchdown. So I'm going to go around the room as we talk about politics, and I just want to know it your take on quarterback Dak Prescott yesterday as the Cowboys and proved to five and two. He wins his first game of the Year twenty four to six over the n Well, let's get into it the new eas um. You know what, let me say this first of all,

Cooper Rush could have won this game. Cooper Rush would have won this game. Cooper Rush might have had more yards than Dak Prescott in this game because he would have hit He would have hit Noah Brown on the first player on the bootleg right there, because he has a conn makes you with Noah. He wouldn't have even thought to even think to be running at that point. He would have made sure that he got through all the eighty five. He would have did exactly that. But

you love it when the play comes together. What you've been saying, are we BC slow playing? Hey man, take your shots? Yea. Even Dak took the podium and said, you know what, I didn't want to be the reason that we lost this game. I wanted to be as conservative as I possibly could be. Stay in my lane. He did exactly that, he got behind the running game. He did not turn the ball over. That's what you needed.

Your defense is the story. Your defense is you know the reason why you were able to pull this game out. But I think that for a lot of people that want to throw dirt on Dak whatever. Man, Like I said, I want to say, first couple Rush could have won this game. But it was a good game plan going in. I think that Kelly Moore was making a lot of people mad because, like, you got it, but all of those things were presented to you. You took what was there and you pulled out of vic It took you

four quarters. It was a total game. It wasn't over by halftime like a lot of people wanted it to be. So it took a four quarters. Got that victory baby, without a doubt. Man. And we're we're gonna stick on the offensive side of the ball. Shore We'll dive into the defense right now. Was Dak the political topic? Dak? And you know what, I gotta clap my hand. Yeah, I love what I'm saying. Yeah yeah, from Dak and Kellen Moore. Man, because I talked about it all week.

They gotta slow play this thing. We don't want to go in there and just empty the clip and have everything going out there. Dak throwing the ball all over the place. He's gonna be slightly rusty. You know, this is a guy that had no preseason action, had one game against Tampa Bay and took five weeks off. That timing between him and his receivers, it's gonna be slightly off. So I loved the approach that Kelly Moore had here. I'm looking it up here. They had thirty two runs

between Pollard and Zeke. You're gonna live with that one hundred turf and got some action in there. You got one hundred and thirty nine yards rushing two touchdowns. They stayed with the same formula that they've had on that five game hiatus from Dak Prescott. They stuck to their strengths, which was the ground game and the defense. We all know the defense is a story they're playing outstanding, But offensively, they stuck to the game, playing with the run game.

Like Heckma said, they kept the ball out of Harm's way. There was sometimes a little bit here and there in the game where Dak wanted to push the ball a little bit down the field. He put it in Harm's way, but luckily it wasn't intercepted or anything like that, and they stuck with the game. Playing. Man, that's all you can have and all you can want from this offense right now, especially with the defense balling the way. It is the one thing I will say that I got

a slightly concerned about with this offense. And I'm sure you know, they'll fix it up as the games go on. But that offensive line, it looks shaky. It looks shaky to me. Out there. Adian Hutchinson, that defensive end for the for the Detroit Lions, he had himself a day on Tyler Smith. He got two sacks, a couple pressures out there, got a sack Steel, got a sack on Steel as well. So the pressure was there on Dak Prescott. But I think overall he did an outstanding job. Cool,

calm and collected and had control of this offense. Here's my thought on Hutchinson, this looks like a good football player. He is, he got a motor. Now this couldn't make what three years in a row that the NFL Defensive Rookie the Year comes out of the big ten. I think this just looks like a really good football player. So, um, that's one thing I chalked up too, and say, look, you know what, good football players are gonna make plays.

And you know they flipped him around and he was able to you know, he was able to beat both guys, which to me says this is a good football player. Um so I just wanted to that and a kid keep going Barry and we just look out here, Like I said, no turnovers anything like that, except for the Noah brown A situation where you know, he got flipped on his head. I mean, I don't know too many casts that. Thank god, and thank god that he was he's okay, because that was one of those plays that

could have ended up being worse. We don't could have would us and shoot us, but as I saw it in slow motion, I'm like, man, WHOA. And I also got to give kudos to Mike McCarthy because we talked about it. This game coming up it could be a trap game or with that coming back, is this tow Boys team gonna be too too confident going in Detroit? And I feel like they did a good job. And even though it was six three at halftime, I got I don't know what's going on in that locker room

who's speaking, but he is the head coach. I'm gonna give him the credit. I feel like he went in there, talk to these guys, gat him coming on the second half, and they made the correct adjustments. Okay, so let's start with you heck something else that I'm reading social media, okay, and in Bresse, and let me get bring us to the players lunch spot. Do you buy tostitos? There's a section that people are like, well, it's just the Lions. They can't they can't do that any given Sunday. The

Commanders just beat Green Bay exactly. I mean, I mean, these are the same people that you know if if Philly they would have been all ups in. You guys beat a backup quarterback in Cooper Rush, Like, I mean, you can't. You can't go about that, man, you can't go that way. I'm with you, because not only that, how about I raise you one more. Carolina fires their coach. They have a fire sale, get rid of their best running back. They threw out p J. Walker, and they

took Tom Brady and company behind the woodshot. He put up three points. I mean, and I'm sitting to myself saying, well, how can the schedule makers didn't have a Cowboys play for Tampa Bay right about now? Because that does not resemble anything like the team that we saw an opening night here at all. So to that point of you, it's hard to win in this league. You did it, you play. I don't know when fans got to this point in time where they want to start discounting wins

like it doesn't matter. And John, the late John Madden once told me heck, because we were talking about Tony Romo at the time and I was doing these one on ones for Sunday and Night Football for MBC, and I said, you know, John, the thing about Tony fans keep saying is he doesn't win big games. He's like, you know what, And I could tell he was agitated by it. Um And I said, he said, Newey, tell

me when there's a small one. You only got sixteen of these, Tell me the small games, okay, because because in my coaching nure, I never knew where the small game there's there's sixteen. They're all big, the same basketball. You don't get eighty two, right, Hey, we'll get in tomorrow. We had to back to back, right, right, They're all big. And that's the thing. I just I shake my head app reading social media. Heck, it's that fans. You win and then you want to discount it, no, because had

the line's beating you. Whatever you said, garbage, Your garbage. Dack is garmage, Your defense is your defense is overrated. Let's talk about how overrated the Cowboys are. But man, a lot of that new h I mean, we're since we're here on the players last, we got to talk about it. They want us to be is dysfunctional. You know they want that kind of because it's dysfunctional. It is. The more the TV ratings go up, the more the headlines go out. That's just what it is. I mean,

we have to live with that. And I'm sure you as a player, when I asked you a question about that, what you point to You pointed right to the star and say, hey, if you're gonna wear that, then it's gonna come with that. You know it's gonna And that's that's the thing. New it like I'm alive, I'm dead, I'm up down. I think more so than wanting the dysfunction, I feel like there's just they want a college football like results. You want to win by twenty if we

play in Detroit, all we should. That's not the you know, the National Football League is not the NFL. You do college games all the time. And there was a difference and people seeming to think that well, it's the Lions, folks. They got two weeks to get ready, exact off of a bye week. I thought one of the smartest moves that we haven't talked about, and I was Mike McCarthy on fourth and two was getting ready to go for it. Calls the time out and you know what, it's the

first quarter. Let's kick it. These dudes over here think they can win. So that's what was going on. Like they they've come out here ready to play two weeks. They're like, you know, this is the week we're going. They're ready to go. Let's kick this field goal, tie this thing up. We gotta good defense. Let's going back out here. But let's reset the game because the analytics

tell you and it'll get your fired every time. Now, that was a great decision, man, that was one of the thing I was like, Mike, that's what I'm talking about, man, get you put your field goal team back out there, let just get these points. Put your defense out there, this ball, and then I think the formula that they have right now, BC this will win them a lot of games if they play. If they play just like this. Now, you let's let's get some of those throws to happen,

and then you'll feel a lot better. Maybe you can come away with the three hundred. I would have loved this team. The Lions look like a forty burger waiting to happen. But I'll take it just like this, you know. And and look, man, people talk about the Lions. Oh it was just the Lions. I promise you. It's thirty one teams in the NFL that would love to win in spite of their quarterback. Okay, if I can, if I just don't lose because of you, I'm okay with

winning in spite of you. And I didn't think that we won in spite of that. I thought he did all the right things. But I didn't come away from the game saying, oh yeah, man, Cooper rut. He did not make one throw that I didn't think. Now he was. He was making some throws. Now, hello, let's talk about that thumb. We talk about the thumb and how he loves coming back. A lot of those throws have velocity

on them. I like he hit some throws in this game, and those throws they'll come even better as time forgress. Let's not forget this is his first game back from that hiatus and that thumb injury. So he'll get better and better and more rapport with his receivers out there. But I love that point you made about that fourth and two because if they let's say they go for it and somehow, some way Detroit stops him because they've been having success, that momentum right there would have been

outstanding for the Troit early in the game. That would have getten all the confidence to say, you know what, we're in this game. You know we were. The record might not show it, but we're in this game. And I think that was a hell of a move by McCarthy to say, you know what, hold a home on Kellen. I see what you put out there. I see the defense they got going out there. That ain't gonna work. You know, let's bones get you, get your crew out there,

let's get this back. Three. That's it. I don't know why it's now an epidemic in the National Football League to not get you three. I can't remember what game I was watching. Somebody had been a Chargers game. Yeah, it was not a Charger game. It wasn't. It wasn't and it wasn't the you know, it wasn't the Cleveland round, but just watching somebody else lining up to go forward and then the play call didn't make any sense, and they and it was just there's nothing wrong with three

points at all, and and and doing in the first half. Heck, that's what I'm just what do we know twenty three percent of the games the National Football League or three points or less? Yea, why not go get you three while you can get you three and move on? Um. I just think it's it's McCarthy who's gone for it

a lot this year and he's had success there. I just thought that was a very smart move right there, that fans didn't pick up on it at all, because that team they were ready in a boxing match, they came out in the first round ready to fight. Yeah they weren't. They're ready to fight. And you know, you have more talent. You know you're at home, you're the

better team. Okay, they're coming ready to go. Let's just get through this first round and then over time, we're going to wear you down, gonna outpoint you, and we're gonna walk out of here with you know, with with win. And I just thought there was a smart way that the head coach went about the job. And you mentioned Mike McCarthy and giving him credit there overall for the game. Heck, I just thought this was this was smart coaching all the way through. And Man, dan Quinn, he called it.

He dialed it up. So man, he had, he had my brother from the Detroit Lions. Man, he looked that quarterback. I'm telling you right now, he's seeing a lot of these numbers in his sleep right now, seeing ghosts. But because of the pressure that they were putting on him, he didn't have me five sack five times, you know, turn the ball over, get five turnovers as a defense doll. That is this monster numbers and second half and yes,

thirty minutes. In thirty minutes. You remember Dennis Thurman who played here day DT was was was a coordinator in the league. And the thing he kept saying about golf, He's like, he doesn't like pressure. So this is a guy who doesn't like pressure. When they would dial it up, you can see it, happy feet. He was ready to crouch down. They wouldn't even look at there. I better get down, let me get in my seat, let me get down to it. Showed me when I ain't going

out like I'm dead I'm alive. I'm dead, he ain't open. I'm out of here and live to see another day. That man, that man knew he was under the rest. And you know, Michael Parsons and dude, this this front, this front seven many you know I get started. Thank you when we come back. This whole segment has to be about this defense. And I want to know you're player of the game from the defensive end, from defends aside the ball and a tough loss for the defense

I'll tell me they don't call it the same in Fort Worth. They call it everywhere else. Man, Texas mean green hurt my heart, hurt my heart, hurt my right there, man, they had it. They were right there. But hey, see it at home. That's tough. Plus they beat him last year year we did the last minute

walk off touchdown. Man, that was a hell of a game. Man, Kyle called that when I ruined the call. I ruined the call. I did. I ruined the call And it's one of those moments as a broadcaster that I just I wish I could take back, but it was. It was a crucial moment in the game. It was like seconds to go and Austin and he throws up the ball, I mean complete hell Mary guy catches the ball, runs it in for a touchdown. Now I know as a broadcaster, I need to lay out, lick Kyle do his thing

and finish the call out. Maya. Oh my god right in the middle right, Oh my god. I couldn't believe I did that, bro, I could not embarrassing I'm sure Kyle didn't even bring to your attention. You know he didn't, Yeah right, yeah, all right, Oh man, that was It's one of those moments. I just wish I could just why so so when that happens, does he go like that to you or anything? Or nothing? At these Oh man, I'm gonna train color analysts. I know it's it's I know. I I let the I let the mic the field

Mike's takeover. You can hear the roar from the crowd. He makes his call. I come in, I draw my analysis as soon as the review comes up. No, what do I do? Oh my god, I don't believe I did that. Sometimes that's good too. The emotion of it is good too. Sometimes you want the emotional where you as emotional as the guy from Fox was his name, Gus, Gus John. That's the thing. See, that's the thing. When I call a game, I don't want to sound like every button up guard ever called. I don't want to

be that guy. I want to add something. But there are just certain rules that you can't break in announcing, and I just I just walked all over that one though. The eight Towns, Oh my god, Delmans doesn't put his hand up. He just hits you across the head. That's his buddy, does not do Yeah, just don't do that branch. That's what I'm gonna say. We've all been there. Yeah, no, that's it was bad. But anyway, I live past. It happens. I've called you know, other games. Got you got another week?

He still flush flush it. You got another week? Here, Barry church Um joining us, something new, he scruggs. So, guys, uh, twenty six to uh, it was twenty four. I should say the six a shutout the second half by the defense. So your defensive game MVP is church Man. I'm not gonna steal my boy. I know here he's going with us. I'm gonna let you break that one down. But I'm gonna go ahead and say the usual, you know, Michael Parsons, I'm gonna go ahead and say it the big briefcase.

But Zook or whatever you want to call him, the man is unstoppable. A man's unstoppable. I think he has seven sacks in the UH in the season so far, twenty twenty four career. I mean, and what he does is so essential to the defense because it makes everyone else's job so much easier. You're talking about a guy in the secondary. You only got a cover for a couple of seconds because you know eventually he's gonna get

back there. You talk about just the defensive line in general, just eating off of the one on one opportunities that he brings to the table. And what I love so much about what Parsons brings to the game. Not only is a hard worker, but his motor is unbelievable. One of the unsung plays that you'll see in this game. This guy comes off the edge. It was a great call by Detroit, by the way, great call. He's coming off the hedge, humming. They threw a screen right to

his side. Parsons then most guys I've been in the league, most guys start players. It just wasn't my play. Somebody else will make it. This dude literally you can see it. Puts his foot in the ground, retraces passes guys up. I mean he gave loads to everybody. Marinelli he was known for giving out loads if you got another guy passing you up, especially on the defensive line, you getting He gave at least six guys loaf as he ran right past them. The tight end on the one yard

line that forced him to go for another play. We all know what happened, Jamal Williams fumbles the ball. This guy brings so much to the Dallas Cowboys defense. I mean, he might be the most impactful defensive player I've seen in a Cowboys uniform. And I played with some great ones I played with the way a minute, see maybe

you said a mouthful doll that I played with. I though there's some great ones back in the day, But the guys that I played with, talking about jumping out the cake man, he might be the most impactful man. This is always been my feeling because I've had these conversations with where had where been turned loose the way Parsons is in this scheme because that was his big, big thing about it. They dropped them too much. That

was his big thing. Because remember Sean Merriman lights out when he came out right out the gate and he had all those sacks. Yeah and so um you know how Bill with mess with people. So he lights out had one of the early games, you know, ran up like you know, two three sacks and parcel and these Cowboys had let game. He's like, I knew I should have drafted him. Who so you know what he you know what he was doing. You know he was stewing, got in there, got a sack saying I got up.

I looked for him, say you know what I mean? He turned away, so you know he did. We got another sat looking for him. You're gonna turn away? Parcels knew how, he just knew how to turn that right key. But but I say that in terms of here's dan Quinn understanding and knowing, all right, this is what you need to go do go didn't do it. Um Bill wanted you know, he wanted him playing, you know, run and all. He wanted to do it all. He just

didn't want him to be a pass rusher. Wade Phillips comes in here, just go go get don't get the guys to hate when they dropped him back there. And that's that. So so when you say that about about Mike, I'm like, yeah, and this is why it matters about the coach. That's why I keeped him. You know, it matters who the coach is. The coach says, you know what, that's what he does. Bet, what does heck do? I'm gonna do it? Heck Verry Well that's what I'm that isn't.

What seems to be a simple thing of coaching is not. And we saw that with Mike Nolan preaching this scheme over over, you know, over the player, like what's the player do best? But where had that just just you know, coming out that it was this whole thing. It's like, you know, let me go because you remember who Marriman played for charge. Wait, so way is letting them go? Where I can do this if you let me? It was criminal what they did in with the where man,

why are you dropping this man in the flats? Like come on, man, And here's way he was way he got what was it twenty sacks? He got one? Yeah he was. It wasn't not simple. I show you the difference, man. But I love how you got Sometimes, you know, y'all, y'all have a conversation around me because I hadn't started with y'all, and then y'all say, heck, you know back in the day, you know you've been all on together

for a while. Well, listen, I was on another podcast talking about Michael and I've been calling the bazookasists the beginning dog. I mean, this is that's a lot that's a gift. Man. I don't even have to get you enough for Christmas, doll. Let you take that because you know every time I could go in ya with what Michael does. But because Micah is who he is, the other guys on the defense are winning their one on one matchups. And that's the thing that I love so much,

this shift that they have. The teams are coming in saying we are not going to let number eleven game wreck us. So we're gonna chip him, We're gonna put a tight end out in Hi, We're gonna do everything we possibly can not to allow it. And then when you see other guys like Darrence Armstrong, like de Marcus Lawrence playing their tails off and making the plays that they're making. But Sam Williams is my MVP. Sam Williams isn't getting half the reps and some of these guys

are getting. But yesterday he came in and not only had to tackle for a loss, but two sacks. It's been a long time, looks, I say a long time. It's been since Michael last year that we had had a rookie come in to get to two tackles two sack. Excuse me. In the game. And then the other company is Bosa. One of the Bosa brothers has done that before. We've also had Wilson do it before him looking at this this excuse me, Donovan Wilson, Man, he come on, dog,

just look at what. Come on what he's doing. But Victor Butler is one of the guys. DeMarcus ware who we just were talking about, has had two sack games. I mean, it's a lot of It's a lot of guys that you can go and look at it and say, man, this is this especial when you have a rookie that could come in and do exactly what Sam Williams did and ask his reps increase over this season, I think you're gonna see even more. The thing that I worry about it with him is maturity. That's the only thing.

Because that tackle for lost me pein the guy up and threw them down. Usually a flag comes out in a situation like that. We got lucky. We didn't get a flag in that situation. But come on, man, you get rough and you know something that comes with it with a tackle like that. Speaking of Donovan Wilson, most sacks amongst defensive backs in the NFL, since twenty twenty two. Jamal Adams first nine point five, followed by Brandon Jones of Miami, Antoine Winfield of Tampa Bay, and then here

comes Donovan Wilson. It's six and a half. We got six and a half in the season. No, no, no, no backpack. He ain't doing it like that. Hey, oh man, Elizabetham coming to Joan. No. Remember, we wanted Jamal Adams so bad. Remember, I mean not to say that Jamal Adams was the player. But we've been talking about safety. Donovan Wilson. Man, you cannot say enough about the job he's doing. We talked about Dan Quinn and him putting these guys in position. He's putting the safeties in position

to make plays. Man, they are doing it. I was never big on Adams because of the cost, and I kept telling people it's it's double cost. It's the draft capital and the contract, and we keep talking about, oh, by the way, you gotta pay people around here. There's you know, there's several I just didn't think as much as I like the player, that was where they needed to go. You both are correct about Michael Parsons everything he does. And another person who got to eat. It's

like Parsons is a line in the jungle. He catch the gazelle, nobody get to come eat off of it too. How about Dorris Armstrong. Another sack for Dorance Armstrong and that's now six sacks, a career high for him. Okay, six sacks seven games played this year. And you know how I felt about Randy Gregory last year you were here. When we did I was like, don't sign him. He's not worth seventy two million dollars. I just didn't feel that way about Randy as a player. Missed too many

games for my taste. And my whole thing was because when my guys in Denver call me, I said, dude, if you're covering the cow I said, if you're thinking about the Cowboys defense, you're thinking about Parsons, you're thinking about Lawrence, you're thinking about Digs, then maybe I'll get to Randy Gregory in terms of importance. I said. If that's the case, I'm not gonna pay that guy seventy

two million dollars. You dodge a bullet right there, though, No, you dodge a bullet because at the end of the season, the way that people saw him and his perception in this defense, he was a big part of the success. Everyone felt as though he was a big part of the success, and he was along those losses with the Mark Cooper. When you were talking about what the Cowboys didn't have coming into this season, I don't think that anybody could have imagined, man Darren's Armstrong is balling. He

playing well. Man. I'm not saying I expected this, but I was like, give me, you know, what you guys have done is okay because we know the importance of what Parsons is. Yeah, it's like, damn, you're playing with shot. Hey, can you hit the outside shot? Big fella over here, Kobe. Just you know, Steve Kerr made a killing of playing with with Jordan and Tim Duncan you know, hey, they're they're stars here. I just need to be in mind. I'm gonna eat Hey, Drance, can you beat one on one? Okay?

So here you're beating one on one. Here's Sam Williams beating one on one. I mean, hey, it's a complimentary guys around. Just just you know, if Eleven is on him and they've got they've got to take care of, you're gonna have an opportunity another guy and Um Spencer Anthony Spencer. Okay, you know Spencer's whole thing that your whole thing was, hey, look here's where over here you go and you will get your you know, go and

get yours. And while he did have a Pro Bowl season, here just kind of the thought process was, we're gonna put somebody on the other side of where who's gonna get one on one coverage. Let's get there. They just decided they wanted to have a collection of guys too. And I know people's first thoughts because hey, they wanted Randy. They offered him the money. He said yeah. Then he came back and he said no. So it's like, oh no, no, dan quinkin cook baby, So okay, you don't have a

ground beef you gave him from Turkey. He's still sent to take a great chili. Boy. He got obey, he got obeyed him right, he got got Parson right because he piled. So that's that's just how I see this. And and for Dorance Armstrong just I'm happy for him. I'm happy for for for Sam any other guys. But man, it just shows you how good he is. May ask you the guys this, We'll just say, Jordan Lewis, it's going for the season. That's a tough that's gonna be

a tough loss for the Cowboys defense, missing him, missing him. Uh. But you look for guys like durn Bland to step up. Uh, And I don't. I don't. I think that the next man up philosophy sometimes is disingenuous when it comes down to certain players. You know, I think you guys are drafted at certain levels, and yes, do they exceed that. I just think Jordan Lewis was one of your leaders. He was a guy that set the tone. He was part of the culture centers glue here. Uh. And so

his loss, man, that's that's big man. And wishing him a speedy recovery. I just gotta say that, because when you look at it, man, good nickel cornerbacks don't fall off of trees. Man. The reason Orlando Scandra was able to play what ten twelve years in the league, he was a hell of a nickel corner because you has to do so much. You're asked to cover in a lot of space, so you don't have that sideline to help you, like an outside corner has. You're asked to

be kind of a hybrid linebacker against the run. So you gotta tackle well, and you gotta be able to blitz well. And he was able to do all three of those things at an extremely high level. And the vet savviness he had, I mean the way he was able to undercut routes, you know, trying to bait the quarterback into doing some things. You can tell he's teaching Bland some of those things as well, because that's how he got his first interception, kind of baiting the quarterbacks.

So I think it's gonna be a tremendous loss for the Cowboys. But hopefully Bland and a couple other guys can step up and fill his shoes. But you know, speedy recovery to Jordan Lewis for sure.

They have benched quarterback Matt Ryan for the rest of the year. Sam Ellinger is going to be their starting quarterback. The Cowboys face the Colts December fourth, here at Jerry World for Sunday Night football. I mean, that's a dove, right.

We gotta, we gotta, we gotta get your voice BC with the I hate to see to see, yeah hate you know what, all that stuff that they was talking about Wentz not being he's not that, he's not the reason, he's the reason we suck so much last year, and they go ahead and bring We're gonna bring a better quarterback in to help us out. Man, what's going on? What's going on with that organization over there. I'll tell

you what's going on right now. Is, there's gonna be some firings, got to there's going to jimm Ersay is going to have to sit around here because the general managment. This is where, this is where I don't understand. The Chris Ballad is a nice guy. It's good tying to commedia, yea. But let's just tell the truth and keep it the way it is. Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan three years in a row, veteran quarterbacks. You said, these guys with the answer, they're not the answer. So how do

you keep your job? Frank Wright? Okay, so Frank Wright takes the job because remember Josh McDaniels accepted the job then pulled out at the end, and Matt Eberflu's former Cowboy coach was their defensive coordinator. But so, uh no, this this is not getting it done. You get you know, you get beat by Tennessee again, and they had Tannehill went out. They had to bring in the backup quarterback. But uh, they're they're coming to town. They're coming to town.

So if you're a cowboy fan of your University of Texas fan, hey say, Mallinger's gonna be long day. It's gonna say, this's gonna be a hard sell. There. You're upselling it right now. I know it gonna spend it, So I'm gonna end it this one. Jim, say go call damn quick and say what say? You come down? You do what I feel? Right? I fail. I can't believe you gotta doing well. I can't believe you. Just your wife you would be fully Hey, heck, I just wanted to be like many little dirty dirty you know

what's coming, big dog? You know you got he Paul's long enough like you. Okay, it got me. It was the pregnant Paul's doing. But you know what, they have enough talent over there on that defense you just started. Quitty paid the Forest Buckner Yannika dock Way, Oh my god, Leonard, they got set gil Moore, come on, man, you go to the offense. I mean, just look at Jonathan Taylor. Is that running back? Michael Pittman, Michael Michael Pittman Junior, out of you. Come on, man, you got some guys.

You got some guys over that. Just you would think that if that they have been believing the last three years that they are a quarterback away from getting to the next level. And they just they've they've chosen wrong. Now Sam, Sam elegant or Cooper Rush here but six foot so I just you're saying, you're am you're getting rid of Cooper Rush too. Qu Ay give it Sunday they're gonna break really being the long through the Saint

coch McCoy on that Monday. Now, come on, you're selling it right now, dude, I didn't know he was getting looking the like a room look right to you. Yeah, next see, I think you're gonna see a guy he's gotta go in. They'll do it, Dan, don't do it, Dad. He means to be I mean, and we every year, you know they talk about the hottest is Is there any assistant coach? Who should you know? When you starting about who do you? That has to be the call.

He has to be, I mean, he has to be on everyone the way he's able to turn this defensive. He has to. You have to be. If you're a generalman, a you're an owner, you don't pick up the phone at least say will you talk to me? He may not like Jacksonville Now I'm good, but you you you'd be irresponsible. Um, what's going on here is fantastic, man, it really is with Dan Quinn and I. Danny was

always about it. Barry and I were skeptical because we just had heard about, you know, what happened in Atlanta, And I think there's a whole lot of truth now that there were other factors involved in terms of Thomas de Mittrough and also Rich McKay later on. And how are teams talking themselves out of these quality hires? I mean because if you look over the NFL and some of these teams and you ask yourself, who look at the who's the guy over that that's the head coach?

I don't know. Yeah, everybody's no, no, no, but hey, hey you knew it, don't Hey? I love it on here on the playoffs. Now let's get down. Let's go ahead. You're a young, young white offensive guy who either knows Sean McBay or you look similar to them like Kellen Moore. Hey, let's give you a call. So look how they love how how to do in Miami? Got it? And now you look up he black? Like what and what they said?

What is daddy's black? The offense coach? It was like, tell nobody, amen, Thomas Jefferson, somebody but but this, heck, this is what its owners are going. How do you like Hacket? I like looking at I'm like no, that was their opportunity, for real, that was the opportunity. How the Denver Broncos. That's the curse Dad Quinn right now is the curse of the Denver Broncos because they did

not hire him. They hired the wrong guy. If they passed though the Q in the c CEO decided they remember this whole Hacker conspiracy was he's coming from green Bay. Aaron is frustrated with green Bay. He loved Hackett. Hack is gonna convince Aaron to tell them trade me to Denver. That was this. Did you talk about a fantasy? They came with a full fantasy, you know, and they got and they got it, I got it, and and it's

not paying off the way you wanted to. But right now, look, Dan Quinn, if he goes, if he goes anywhere, if you're talking about a team that has everything that you're looking for, I mean, come on now, and Indy, it is right now in a position and you see the move that they're making, I wouldn't say this is tanking for two of kind of situation, but they're trying to set it up for the future to see what what's

out there. I don't know about Stroud, Stroud or anybody else that's in college that they may end up drafting, but man, they it sucks to even think that they're in rebuild right now. And they got Nick nick foleses on the on the roster man, Yeah, what's going on? You know? Hey, hey, if Nick put me in one of pieces of that, uh, trying to get the check man, trying to hit the golf course. He got one of the biggest you can study like Kyler Murray, Chase Daniel Boyd.

He just spend your two hours on the iPad like Kyler Murray, be all good with it? Maybe all good, but man, hey, they got one of the best offensive linement and Quinn Nelson is some special. Yeah. So Indy's three and three right now, three three and one, um in a bad division. Mean, here's the Titans at four to two, and that's no great team, no team, but

they're they're in the division. So it's it's interesting. But but ultimately, and I think, and I would hope more teams would look at what the Cowboys are with Mike McCarthy. You brought in a guy who won a Super Bowl who has an understanding of how to coach winning football.

Mike's got a winning record in this league. And why you would not look at Dan Quinney, guy who's been to a Super Bowl, who's coaching MVP and Matt Ryan and not said, Okay, let me get this versus some dude like Hackett who's never called the play or Brandon Staley out there with the Chargers. Then here's a guy. Okay, he was Sean mcvay's defensive When we gonna start talking about them though, when are we gonna get into the Charges in their debacle? When are we gonna start talking

about that? No? No, no, why don't we win? Then we're gonna start talking about that quarterback us. He gets a lot of grace, He gets a lot of grace. What Joe Burrow. Joe Burrows the one to obey yesterday. Ye I'll defend I will defend Herbert in this one and go back to what Bill Belichick's, Hey, you cannot overcome bad coaching. He got a bad one. There's some bad coaching going on between Denver Hackett. Terrible coach. I mean ste Stefanski in Denver, there's far I mean in Cleveland,

there's too much talent Cleveland Brown for them looking like that. Man. I mean there's some guys man, just once again, these gurus and and Brandon Stanley defensive guy who stood next to Sean mcvah. And I'm like, what did they win when you were there? Nothing? What he Morris one? But dude, the way they Ryan de Miko Ryan San Francisco. He didn't even know they lost. Kill him. But I don't

know how they now. Cooper Russia, Jimmy G. Cooper Russia, and Jimmy G. I'll tell you what, Kyle Shannahan could do a lot more with Cooper. Come on, come all right? When I said that, everybody looked up. Okay, anyway, players players lous toasted by toast though Russia minimum over over. Jimmy G. You're paying Jimmy You're like twenty eight million. You see what Jimmy G did? Okay? I thought they restructed that thing got him down? Nah, he gotta play

talk about it got constructed. But still, I mean, come on, man, there's a reason why they spent all the draft picks on that other dude. Man, who Cooper is good. But you know what, if you're accurate, Kyle, Kyle Santa hand, the guy was up there thirsting for Kirk Cousins. Man, who would you rather have Kirk Cousins of Coop? Come on now, don't disrespect Kurt like that, Kirk Cooper rush over Kirk Cousins. Kirk cut for the money you're spending

for Kirk Cousins. Okay, with the month the money I'm spending. We're talking about this season right now, Dude, dude, I'm trying to His team is about six and one. Do you think it's because of Kirk? He has a big piece of it. It ain't. It ain't all. You know what I'm saying. It ain't all got me to the edge. See that you asked that question, you Pauls right there, put put him on Sunday Night football to Putney, what's

gonna get you? Went? You see what Cooper looked like on Sunday night like you taking the game of London the game and I'm talking about Cooper, I'm thinking Minnesota head up versus Cousins. That's what I was just saying. It already happened, thank you, It already happened three. Yeah, yeah, that's what man, VC. You know, run Cooper Rush over Kirk Cousins tomatoes to forty million dollars do making six hundred something and maybe you pay him ten and beat? Yeah,

Cooper Rush for a fool for a full sixteen? What is Kirk Cousins showing you as the guy? Can you put Cooper Rush on that Minnesota team without the defense he had and him beating and be him be as successful he has? He ain't gonna you're trying to take no, no, you ain't gonna get me on the red with that? What I do it for because I know where I'm going with Kurt. It's gonna be It's gonna be a playoff game and for everybody, and but its Coop even gonna make it there. He's gonna have to be the guy.

He ain't got a defense, were gonna run down and cooking that was in the they't gonna be doing no skull clapping out there. Look at what I'm sorry. I didn't they play for the NC Championship game with Kase Keenam they did? Have they ever gone as far with Kirk Cousins as they did with Kase keenam have it, but we're talking about Cooper Rush though, being the guy for sixteen Coper counts. I thought my jailer hurt takes was tough, but the defense he guy Hey held have

went four drinking nothing, nothing. I'll check it. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
