Player's Lounge: Two Man Show

right now. He's on a Simon right now. So it's your boy b Church, as well as the Ultimate Survivor Danny McCray. We got hosting duties today, so we're gonna take over our own show. I don't is that possible? Take over your own show? Yeah, I'm not gonna lie to you, man. I'm like, it's Halloween. You might be dressed up? You are, I knew it right now, and there we go, there we go, man. So man, it's it's it's wild that we took over our own show. This is our first hosting duties, so I mean, look,

it's gotta be you gotta be patient with us. You gotta be patient with us out there. So it was our first serving duties. But I gotta dive into this first. I mean, we're gonna talk about cowboys, ball and everything going on in that situation, because there's a lot to dive into with that. But I gotta dive in and survive her. You know, we weren't able you you were gone, you were on a signment, so we didn't get to

talk about it on that Thursday show. I know it's been a little bit, but I gotta dive into it. Why are people and I'm gonna bring this up before because I brought it up before, but why are people so enthralled with trusting Shan out there? Like I just it just blows my mind that And I know you're just gonna say, like, oh, well, you're watching the show. You see what's going on in the editing, so you

see what's going on. But the way she's approaching people, just like, oh, you got this idol, you got that idol? She she outed the one girl who who didn't want nobody know she had an idol, but she outed her. So I'm just like her characteristics, her flaws out there, they're showing there's red flags, as they say out there. So I don't know what's your thoughts on that. Most use that. Listen, people, people make mistakes, all right, it's

not a flawless not a flawless game. And then they think the show is edited in a certain way, right, they made sure they edited it so you would see that she made that mistake because probably for the first few episodes it was so positive. It's like she can't do anything. They got they gotta show you that she's human. And uh, honestly, me watching it back, I didn't know

any of this. But now, like me watching the show, she's playing a really really good game one because you as a viewer or are really like in tune with

how she's playing. You either like her or you don't like her, but you are paying attention to her as a character without and then the people who are on the show are trusting her with all of this stuff, so she's doing something right to us, Like, all right, well, Shan's gonna be the person that I want to tell the Shan's gonna be the person that I want to

rock with. Because if you look at it, even after she outs the lee, she still ain't mad at her, and still they're still gonnahead a conversation about whatever whatever they want to do. If and it's like my top three right now, I'm thinking, is he. If it ain't you, it's gonna be sham or rainbow shorts. I keep forgetting Eavy. They're both playing a similar game, you know, manipulating people around there. So I definitely think those are my top three right now. I definitely gotta ride with my dog.

I'm not sure if you win or not, but I gotta ride with my dog on that one. I'm gonna tell you this, I hate Okay, I'm a competitor. No, I'm gonna say this now because I've been upseting for a long time. Ain't no such thing as going back in time, okayya Oh I was about to break that up. I'm just telling you. If I go to if I go to Vegas and I sit down at the crap table when the dealer tells me if I hit twenty one, I win, and then I hit it any snatch it.

Oh we're throwing hands. You saw that about that? Yeah, we're throwing hands. Who wants to play a real game? Nobody does. I wouldn't say that we think I'm gonna waste my time to do that. I got other stuff to be doing. That's just true. So you so you're talking about the whole situation where once you guys got done with the winning the first challenge, y'all won that first challenge, you had to send somebody to the to the island to be a bout in the isolated island

by themselves. Another person got to come and enjoy a good meal. So you guys, you know, voted to send Erica right to that to that he did. I was, I was like, I was, let me say this. Listen. Where I'm from, people say paper rock ciszens. I can't hold with them, and somebody's rock papers, paper rocks and and c me just say that was slick paper ross. You was quick on your feet on that one. I was put on the spot. You was quick on your feet.

But I'm well, you can't have too much into it, I know, but I got a feeling people were gonna be salty about whatever Deciplacy makes. It doesn't matter to me. It's just the fact that she has the option to be able to do that. When if you look back at it, that was as hard as hell, it was ya. You can tell you guys are out there. I mean I had a breath. You see Xander out there dying to get people up on the shoulders. I mean, those

boys look mild nor it was. It was tough, man, and you know, you know, people earned they lost and they earned their win, and I think that's the way it should stay. But that's the game. That's the game. They try to switch to Boxton, do the other team any favors to not do the other team favors? I mean, I mean most of them got they acted their team that they came in with. That's kind of strange how that happened. I mean, only the only person that that

maybe it was messed ubble was Heather. Um, I feel like, how there's gonna be on our way out. But I'm saying but other than that, you know, Xander was the only male on his team anyway, so he still had all three of his original team and then the other ones had too, so just say they split. Wonder how to work out what the going up that thing? By yourself? Bro Oh yeah, I was surprised. I know, I was surprised. Why this is what you Two weeks last, no food

no nothing. My man's climbed out wall like Miles Rally. You got you gotta be able to operate and burst. That was a first that took. My friends did thing. The boy got to the top, was like, that's all I got. Somebody I like how you did that? Thought, don't give me a tuai. So so we could we

dive a little bit. Well before we dive into this this Cowboys situation and what they got going on before they go up up to Minnesota and play on that Sunday night, let's talk about the game yesterday a little bit. And it looked we knew going into this game before the COVID situations, grabbed DeVante Adams and grabbed Lazard and all that, we knew that this was gonna be a good contest. But after that, after they took away Rogers main two receiving options out there, now he still had Tonyon,

he still had Aaron Jones in the backfield. But when you take so much of his offense, I thought, for sure, load, this is gonna be a blowout. You know, Arizona was rolling on all cylinders. Defensively, offensively, nobody could stop them. They played against good competition too, so It wasn't like their undefeated record was just just have them just you know, just happening like like the Panthers, like the Panthers exactly. It wasn't a Panther situation. So going into the game,

I thought it was gonna be a good one. But when he lost those options, I'm like, I even benched Rodgers on my fantasy I was like, oh, man, here we go, this game is about to be a blowout. But it was nothing but that. I mean it was I mean, Rogers showed to me how he elite he is. I mean he took basically guys from the practice squad and out then we're out there and scored twenty seven year Okay, okay, as you do that, make sure you give Aaron Jones, who had where he had one hundred

and fifty last night was total total. Make sure you get that. Man. It's dude, this is true. Without him and that running game being able to play the way that they did, Aaron Rodgers isn't total trouble. That same play that Aaron Rodgers been running for years where they have number number two run to the flat number one blocks and he throws it quick like fifteen times. Yes, that's like all they had and it was getting tackled for loss. That was it was getting it, getting playing it.

But then you but you can lean on the running game and Aaron Jones and when Dylan Ms looking like the bus out there punishing guy man. And that's why I say, cowboys, make sure that you can always lean on the run when you get into situations where you have guys injured like a Marii Cooper Hamper or you have a Michael Gallop this out, you can always lean

on your ring game. So you want to make sure you always keep your running backs in the game, warmed up, ready to go, and let them know that they're involved. That way, you could put off something like you did, uh, like the Packers did against the Cardinals. So we gotta get to the main thing in this game. What happened to aj Green in the end zone? Right there? Was his controller just connected or something like it just out

of nowhere. You know, they running zero blitz And for those who don't know who zero blitz is is everybody across the board is man on man. So you gotta win. You're out quick because they're sending too many people to block. So the quarterback gotta get his hands out of their corper got the ball out of there quick. What happened then? Man, look, I ain't go a lot to you. It looked like the dude thought it was a running players it did

he went up there blocking. Yeah, he need to get in the playbook because other than that, it's no excuse, right because everybody else that was on the other side of the field, every receiver and all that, they all running the same play right. And then with DeAndre Hopkins being hampered like you was you are the guy, right, you become that man you're running a fade right like this is this is Taylor to you? Bro, You got size advantage, height advantage over the guy, like, yes, he's looking,

you're away, he dud didn't even look back. And this is a guy that's not it's not like he's going against JayR Alexander or King or you know, even Stokes. The this is a guy that they just brought up. And he didn't want to take advantage of that. Listen, because I'm sure if he would have known it was a favor rout coming to him, that would have been a whole whole different story. But there was some type of miscommunication. There would probably just him or he didn't

get the play call right or something. But it was ugly. It was it didn't look bad, it was ugly and that and that and that cost them the game. They did everything that they needed to do to drive down there, to get themselves in position to at least kick a field goal, could have got least in the back pocket. You all ways thinking, I I gotta I gotta overtime. You know, if all else fails, I got overtime. But man,

that was ugly, ugly last part. And credit to the cardinals defense because no matter, I mean to green Bay's defense, because what we knew about Arizona going to the coming into this game was they were high power. Now they did. They didn't lose DeAndre kinda then he came backing the third quarter for a place of the coach was mad about that, and uh, but but this offense that they have has been unstoppable throughout the throughout the season so far. And green Bay came out there and they did some

good work against Kline. They did, a matter of fact, Kyler was limping off the field at the end. I was surprised how well they were able to contain them because you know Kyler usually with those quick feet and at Birst he's able to have He's able to escape out of things and extend the plays, kind of like a Russell Wilson esk out there as far as extending to play. But Green Bay did an amazing job of keeping him in the pocket and making him just you know,

force a couple throws up there. Man, I cannot remember the linebacker's name, but he was doing a acent jobs. Spy Rashaan get Gary and if you see it, if you watch some of those plays, you know, you got the forty line in Russian and he's just sitting there in whatever open gap it is. And as soon as Colin Murray tries to take off, he's going in there and making a play. Now, yeah, he gets beat a couple of times, but when he came down to it and he needed to make a play on collar, he

was doing a job. And that changed the game for them, because when you make somebody who's able to be a dual threat and you turn them into a one trick pony,

then the game is all in. Your favorite is at of doubt and even saying even when all that Colin ur still drives down, drawing us the opportunity where but man, you know, and and big ups to the cornerback who they just moved up, who was able to make that place because a lot of guys get that opportunity, dropped the ball and it's still allowed them a chance to kick the field goal. He went out there and did what need to do, close it out. And then I

see him walking on the sideline, walk right past. But man, Jamon Smith was those sights man who was not dressed. He even dressed, is right? He didn't even dress this week, dressed this week. It ain't like he's dealing with injuries. I mean, he ain't play much. Man. You know, you hate to see you, You hate to see it, man, But that, like the NFL is a business, that's the game, right um. And he hopefully he gets another shop shot and continues to get chances to go out there and

show what he can do. But that's just a bad sign. When when when when you're not dressed, when you're a healthy scratch, you never want to be a healthy scratch, never want to be a healthy stratech. And that just what that goes to show you what the NFL stands for. It's not very long. I mean they're not very I'm sorry, not for long, very long I met at all that NBL, all right, NVL to NFL. Not for long I met

that whole thing up. But we're bringing in the Cowboys of this now, which one of these teams because you know these these three teams, Cowboys, Green Bay, you know, got the Rams in there as well, and of course you got Tampa Bay in Arizona. They're all fighting for that that number one spot because there's only one team that can get that first round by this year. And when you get to the playoffs, how do you think

the Cowboys would match up against that Arizona team? Seeing as though Green they was was was able to move the ball and do good things against them without their two main targets. I'll tell you this, Um, Thankfully we play Arizona like later when we when we plan on being healthy, when we have a tank Lawrence back, when you have another Galla bar back, and hopefully they have a few games under their belt, so they're they're back in the game to play, UM, and I think I

think we're handled them. We saw that Arizona's run defense is not good. What we knew about our run offense. It's very much alive. Yes, if you if you have a Zeke, Tony Pauler healthy and Mark Cooper, Michael Galla back, if you have you know, if you have a seedy lamb on the outside, there's nothing they can do with us offensively. Now, defensively, that's a matchup problem for us because they do have a j. Green, they have Edmonds, they have zach Ertz zach Ertz, zach erst there and

of course they have de Andre Hoppy. So I think I think that's where we have like a little mismatch issue. But what our defense going being fully healthy one hundred percent, I think we can get some pression on column. I think we have the talent to be able to make some of those plays in the spy game. And I think that by that time our secondary, who was elevating their game weekend and we can better, We'll be playing a lot better than dan Quinna has some doubt of them.

So I think the Arizona for me, yeah, that's a dub. You think we can win a shootout versus if it got if it came down to it, I think I think we can win a shotout against anybody. Shouldn't be tampering that shootout. We missed the field goal. I think our offense I will put them up against any other offense in the NFL. Right now, let's pivot over to green Bay. Green Bay, who they shown they can win without having their best two guys out there. They transformed

their whole offense. You know, usually it's a dick and dunk. Let's take a shot, or let's just spread everybody out. Let's take a shot here and shot here, and let and let Aaron Rodgers dissect the defense. But we saw a totally different offense from Green Bay yesterday. They pounded the ball well with Dylan I did not know he had that in them. I mean, he's a bigger dude, so I know he had some thump to him. But he was punishing guys out there. He was falling forward

each and every time. And then of course you got the explosive Aaron Jones out there, who's a threat in receiving running the ball. Whatever it may be. That guy, he's he's a five tool running back out there. So saying that, do you think this Cowboys team matches up well against Green Bay? Or would you rather see a school against Arizona. You know what I really see us against Green Bay because as dynamic against their offense can be, what we know about our offense is they're going to

score all right. And when you when you look at Green Bay, they're not putting up tons of points. They don't have they don't have that type of offense the Arizona has, or the Rams have or Tampa Bay has. They have their offense to where they're gonna aboutically moving down the field. They're gonna lean on the run game a little bit, and their defense is going to get you some get them some stops, so they're not having to score every drive. But against us, you're gonna have

to score every drive you got. So like Arizona, is that shoot all type of game green Bay, I would see green Bay now. Nobody wants to see Aaron Rodders come back here and took us out too many times. But I think this is a different team. I think, you know, we got different coaches, staff, We got some guys who would have more experience. Now Arthy was with Rogers for so long, So I think I'd rather see Green Bay at this point than Arizona. But we can

beat them both the one that scares me all the Rams. Yeah, that's a little scary. That's a little I mean, because that defense they got two of the you know, possibly Hall of Fame players. Possibly I'm not, you know, shooting the gun too early. But Aaron Donald, I think he's for Shore in there. And he got Ramsey on the outside as well, who they moved inside at Nichols so he can affect the game more. And he bleedses. He does a lot of things for that Rams team. So

I'm with you on that. I really don't want to see the Rams. Hopefully somebody knocks him out before we got to play against him. But I really don't want to see him. But let's go ahead and take our first break sixteen minutes into the players line. Just take our first break here, and we're in our SWBC studios, brought to you by Hotels dot Com.

it might have been the best. I ain't know, I ain't gonna too much, but that was a great read. You can have that back when you come. But I'm just letting you know that the bar has been set. It's been set high. It's been set pretty high. Newing.

You get them calf raises in Man, listen, and then you know, leaving out of that, I gotta go to this because the most important thing for us is having our one hundred and sixty million dollars quarterbacks, saying again for the people in the back hunting in sixty having him available to play all right, because what we saw last year, even when we were still we were bad team last year, each with him being healthy, but when

he went down, all hope was lost. You know. I hit the fan after that, Yes, and I don't want to see that this year. I don't want to see Cooper Us. I don't want to see Grey. I don't want to see none of that. I don't want to see how long we could last with all of them, how if Zeke can carry the team. I don't want

to see a none of that. So I have the utmost confidence, upmost confidence that my man, Dak Prescott will be healthy and will be available to play one hundred percent to the maximum potential that he has this Sunday on Halloween. I believe. I believe he's gonna be in there. I think I think it's gonna be okay. And if

I'm wrong, then I probably could the game. See you one hundred percent all in, he gonna play, no matter what play you ain't trying to I ain't trying to see Cooper Rush either, know disrespect, but Dak Prescott is you know tenfold. You know Cooper oceans down here. So I don't want to see Cooper Rush I'm not so one hundred percent about him playing, though I'm not quite sure. I know we got the best training staff in the

National Football League. Britt Brown, Jim miering them boys, they're gonna do whatever to get this man on the field. But they're also not gonna let this man be a hero out there. They're not gonna let him be a warrior because you know how players getting you know how you get that competition that I gotta get on the field. I gotta be with my teammates. I gotta lead these boys. I'm the leader. You know how that gets in. He's gonna even if he's hurting just a little bit, he's

gonna be like, no, I don't feel nothing. I don't feel nothing. So I'm interested to see how Britt Brown, Jim Myering them boys handle that situation as far as letting him warrior it out or just saying, you know what, da, we love you, and you know, we know you. We know that you're gonna curse us out for this, but for your own good and for the team's long longevity success, we're gonna have to sit you down a little bit.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. You know, we got such a big lead in this division, and this division's trash, I mean, Washington, Philly, New York. There's no way they're catching up to us. So as long as we got that, as long as we got that, you're right, so to me, I think I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised if Britt Brown, Jim Mayer saddim this week. Let Cooper Rush go ahead and do what you gotta do,

hopefully get the dub. But you know, I don't think we're gonna get a dub in Minnesota if Cooper Rush is the quarterback. But I can see them doing that. You know, I would like to see Dak out there, but I don't want to force nothing. You know, it's early in this season. We got eleven games left, fourteen if you count playoffs. I just don't want to see this guy being hurt in our whole season ruined just

because we wanted the rushing back. Let me. Let me paint this pision for you, paint it for This is what I want you to. I want you to go back in your mind, Okay, back to August when Hard Knocks was coming off. I remember how I remember that show how angry Dak was when they was trying to hold him out of practice. Ye cursed sad, right, and he had to let them know hisself that his shoulder

was hurt. And he wouldn't have said nothing. He would he was because they were trying to build that relationship with him. Let him like, hey man, this dude's been out for a while. He's itching to get back in and we got to hold him back. But he wasn't letting this sem geting held back. That was preseason practice, not even the game. This is a six in one team right now, you know what I'm saying. So like,

at this point, they're coming off about a week. He's gonna feel healthy, he's gonna feel like the best of that he has, and it's a Sunday night game. It's gonna be very hard for anybody to convince him that it is best for him to sit out this game for the future, because right now he can't even see that. What he sees is the team is playing great. My team needs me to be out there, and this is our chance to really increase the lead in this division and solidify our spot in the playoffs and make this

deep run. So I don't see it. I don't see so you don't see that as being like a warrior trying to get out there. Like I know he wants to play bad as ever, I understand he probably can do it. But what if he just went out there and just tweeked it just a little bit, then he's out for like three some weeks. That's but that's the game Church, Yeah, like like like he could he could wait next week and it's still still be the same.

And I'll tell you what's not gonna happen. He ain't listen to man, ain't gonna ain't going back to back, ain't going back to back. I mean, there was a quote, you know earlier, I don't know if it was yesterday or today where he said, you know what that him and Britt got that type of relationship to where if Britt,

you know, tells him like, look, you can't play. This is not the game this week, you can't play, Dak said, you know what, I you know, I may, you know, give him a couple of F bombs and mother f this and everything, But at the end of the day, he had listened to Britt. So to me, I'm thinking you know Britt has it. We all know Britt. He has his best he has the best interest for this team and Dak Prescott at his heart, so he's gonna make the best decision for this team. I just don't

want to see him rush back. But if he feels one hundred percent and the training staff is down for it, then I'm all for it. Get up on the field and get us another dub. But if they're fifty fifty on it, I say let him sit for a little. I think, I think you know, and I love Britt. I love the training staff. Me and Britain did a lot of work together. I was all yeah and there on high ankle sprains and strings and all that stuff.

I just think when you have something like a calf, it's a little harder for for Britt to be able to tell you when you can and can't go, because it's really based off how you feel like. You have to be be able to be honest with enough with him to say, hey, I actually do feel it this way, and the warrior mode comes in, Hey man, I feel it.

But anything really bad bad competitors are? You know'm saying I stretcher, put some ice and I think I'll be okay, So maybe I maybe I'll say something, maybe I don't. Maybe I kind of say it's a little a little better than it really is. And then you end up out there on the field and they have really no control over that. No, once he's on the field, he's on the Once he between them lines, he's in the line.

So just based off what I've seen from training camp and what I saw on the hard knocks, I mean to do was upset. It was visible now he was upset. He was set to the point of where people were saying, like him and McCarthy had a bad relationship. It was so mad he can't reach them. Yeah. Yeah, It's like, I think it's gonna be really really hard to keep Dak Prescott out of the game, especially they play Sunday night, so it gets a little bit more time to rest.

I think everything has been in our favor when it comes to Dak dealing with this calf injury, going to the bad week. Now he got a Sunday night game, so I think it's looking on the up and up for him to be playing. So he's think it'll be like a game time decision. It's gonna come down to the why it's been decided, it's been already already. Whatever Jarry got saying, that's what's gonna happen, you know, so

we gotta hear all what Jerry saying. Jerry say, everybody playing before we let'll be pivot over here before we take a next break. What do you think about the lill Collins situation? I mean, you know he's taking reps that right tackle, he's taking reps at left guard, which he played back in twenty sixteen. Where do you see

him going in this game? You see him starting? Do you see him being in that backup role until he gets his conditioning right if he needs the condition or do he feels though they're just saying, look, you get you you missed five weeks. Steele was in there. We feel strong with Williams, you'll be our backup player. Where

do you see this happening? Yeah? You know what I since you know, since I since I was out yesterday on the sign, I had I had some time to think about stepped back and think about it, and you know, shout out to Mike McCarthy and in the coaching staff now because it feels like they're trying to create a different culture around I would agree with that. It feels like they're saying, hey, like this is this is a

mistake of your own doing. Like the reason if this is happening is because you did X y Z to put you in this position to miss these five games. And the guy that came in, you know, to to replace you is actually playing really, really well. So you're gonna have to earn your spot back and if he doesn't give it back to you, then you're not getting it. But we're going to be able to find somewhere else for you to be at because as you look at the offensive line, that left guard right over the center

has been leaking a little bit. So once again things fallen in place for the Cowboys, which when you're trying to make a Super Bowl run, sometimes stuff has to fall in your favor. So now you get Still, who was unexpected to be your starting right tackle, this especially after last year right and then you got a guy who you actually paid fifty mile who misses five games. Gives you a chance to see Terrence Still in action

to show them to prove that he can play. So now you don't even have to go look on that left side in free agency for somebody to play in the guard position, because guess what, you signed him. He's already played the position before. He's coming back off with suspension, he's healthy, he missed all the last year. This is like, this is things falling in place for us. All the chips seem to be falling in the correct direction for him, healthy at the right time. So uh, I see him

possibly playing that guard position before. I see him getting in at the at the right tackle. If we see any leakage over there on the left side, I believe that they won't hesitate to put in l You know, he's gonna be sitting there by the coach, dressed in his past ready like, hey, coach, put me in. I'm chumping at the to get in. I think now that he knows he's going to be back up and either one of them, he just wants to play football players wants to play, especially when you see him winning the

way that they winning. He wants to be a part of his team. So I think he'll swallow his pride and didn't play that left guard spot. If if, if that's what comes open this game real quickly. Do you think this is more about the elevated play of Terrence Steele. Or do you think this is more about the cowboys of as an organization slapping lyle Cons on the wrist saying, look, this is self inflicted. You gotta earn our trust back

to be able to get on the field. Or do you think this is more about just Terrence still balling out and he took the job rightfully, So you know, I think I think it just worked out because I think if Terrence still's not playing, playing will there is no but the fact that he is is like, oh yeah, now we got a chance to actually show people we're changing the culture. All right. We got a guy, he

stepped in, He earned his spot. You ain't getting the back, all right, You gotta you gotta suffer the consequences of your actions. But we do gott a spot for you or the left guard spot. All right, we gotta spot. But I can tell you this, if Terrence Steele was not playing, will Leo would be starting in the nothing that the discipline was set. Yeah, if they're still not playing with less our right tackle and he was playing, well there he was. I have no doubt that whenever

he gets in and wherever position, he's playing. He's gonna play well, all right. I agree with you on that one. So let's go ahead this one o'clock. Let's go ahead and take our second break.

About this, oh CB, we got something going on in the in the in

I think his name was like uh b B from Ohio or something like that. Can we play that for CEB? Can we play that? It is straight up when or lose pick the Cowboys picked the vikings and we're gonna let it happen and say with your chest. You're on talking cowboys. B We'll start

with you who you got on Sunday? Well before I answer that real quick, I'm I'm gonna go ahead and say it with my chest man Isaiah standing back, Yes, stand back. You about to get burnt in the forty yard dash from your boy be church. I can't wait and light it up. I can't wait. Yes, he burn, we all go burn yall the question. I'm gonna go ahead and go with the cowboys. They gonna take this stuff. It's over. Kirk Cousins, ain't got no for us. All the muscles over there there you got, I'm burning you

It's buried on because nobody in there, nobody, Hey listen here, nobody, nobody in their right mind, nobody in their right mind whatever being that we got draft kings, draft kings. You would y'all would have to pay out so much money for anybody that picked burried Church. I can't wait until we line it up. That's all this is actually buried this church. Yes, they be from Ohio. This is church, dear. I don't want to let y'all know what's going out about.

We're gonna talk about this as well, thirty are you? Are you in a car or something? Because I don't worry about what I'm doing. Okay, why just know I hijacked this podcast, would take it the victim, that's all. Yeah. You know, b from Ohio had to come represent for the playing Halloween is full of fact, full of fact. I thought for sure that it was gonna recognize the voice, but I did a little southern in there, had a little southern charming there, and so they kind of threw

them off. Joy. We got a little some sad new I think we just got a text from uh from from from from a man Nui but that announced on Instagram that his grandma passed away today. So prayers up to that and his family. Man uh hits continue to come. But they're they're they're very strong, very resilient and you and you can see it throughout his entire family. So so prayers up for him. Um Man. That is that

is tough. That is tough, and and and I can only go back to I remember Brett fare playing the game. I think his dad is and it is like believe it or not, whatever whatever you believe. Sometimes that type of stuff happens. I don't care what Brent fare believes that it was something from his father. They allowed him to go out there and play that way. I just think back to that. So my prayers for that if he plays or if he doesn't play, those type of

things are hard to get off your mind. And this brings you back to just know that NFL players are people. That's superheroes and not none of that. They have families outside of this. People like we go through things all right, So lifting up back with with with everything we got, man, we will be praying for you. Yeah, definitely, thoughts and prayers go out to the you know, the Prescott family. I know they've been dealing with a lot. Um you know,

the brother, the brother passing. I believe his mom passed as well, and and now his grandma passed, so and you know, definitely thoughts and prayers goes out to the Prescott family and um, you know, whatever he's dealing with. You know, the Dallas Cowboys, they got your back, you know, me and me and McCray over here and knew he as well with the players lines, we got his back as well. So thoughts and prayers goes out to him. I mean, I know, he's just a tough time right now,

extremely tough time. So definitely thoughts and prayers goes out to Prescott and his family. Yep, and we uh, you know, so, I guess we'll we'll move on to our to our matchups. Let's do it, Let's do it. And it's it's so many so this is this is a hell of a matchup right now, Like everywhere across the board, offensively, defensively, you gotta you get to pick and choose, so you wanna be I go first? You want what do you

want to do? I'm you know, I'm gonna go first because just because you know, I'm still riding on my on my top ten defensive wave, it's gonna be a tough one for the top ten so so, and it's hard for me to choose between their receivers justin Jefferson Adam Feeling versus Anthony Brown and Treymon Diggs, or we got like a Michael Parsons Ken O'Neil versus um. So I'm picking both of those because it's gonna be interesting to see how we handle it, because I think one

one is based off the other. If we're able to handle the receivers without putting getting help from linebackers in the say, then I think that we will focus a little that extra attention on Dalvin Cook. Now we're not able to handle those receivers with just Anthony Brown and trey Vun Diggs, then we're gonna have to lean safeties that way. Maybe get a linebacker underneath, buzzing under the under the flatter playing in the hook, and that's gonna give Dalvin Cook a little bit more room to operate.

So that that those two matchups, if we're able to win one of them and allow us us defensively to help on the other, then I think it'll be good for us. But if we're not able to stop to stop those receivers, we're in trouble. Yeah, we're gonna be in big because, like you said, if those receivers start going off feeling in Jefferson, it opens up so much more because the linebackers are gonna be so concerned about getting under getting under routes and making sure they're giving

the corners help out there. All all Minnesota gonna have to do is do a little delayed handoff, and Dalvin Cook's gonna have so many so much space out there to work with, and we don't want to let this guy get going. We want to He's one of those guys like a Derrick Henry, those type of guys where you gotta stop in the backfield. You can't let this guy get motoring down the field because it gets harder and harder to tackle him. So that's gonna be a

tough matchup. And since you decided to go defensively, I'm gonna go on the offensive side of the ball. I'm gonna go offensive, and I'm gonna focus on one matchup that we talked about earlier as far as this person,

and that's gonna be Terrence Steele, the right tackle. He's going against another Pro Bowl caliber player, all Pro caliber type player, and that's the Neil Hunter, number ninety nine for the For the Minnesota Vikings, I'm sure they're gonna line their best pass rusher up on the weakest of the two tackles. I don't think they want any problems with Tyren Smith out there, so they're gonna try to

affect Terrence Steel in his passing game. And he got his hands full because the Neil Hunter, he reminds me a lot of a little bit bigger Randy Gregory. He got the speed. Sure I thought it was Louisiana State ahead. We're gonna let me let you look up that, but I'm not looking at the Hunter got that got that speed off of the edge, that bending ability that offensive tackles hate dealing with. Because he got the speed and

the power, he can combine both of them. He kind of minds me of a DeMarcus Lawrence a little bit. So that's definitely a tough matchup for Terrence Steal out there, and it's gonna be tough for this offense as a whole, because I mean, if we ain't able to drop back and pass the ball and kind of make and then they forced us to be one dimensional, like we mentioned earlier about the Minnesota Vikings, then it goes to their favor. So this is gonna be a heck of a matchup

out there. I don't expect the Cowboys to do a lot of help towards Steal out there, because he's been able to prove that, you know, he can handle some things on his own one on one. But if he starts getting beat like a drum, he cain't getting no help. He ain't getting yeah, hes gonna get replacement. I'm gonna be over there now. He don't need that. Hell, I don't know. I don't need that. Hain't geting no help

tell me. And it's kind of unfortunate for Terrence Steel because in the back of his mind he knows if I'll make too many mistakes that I'm probably getting snatched out of here the pressure. But I mean, that's the help you need. It might be to help you need. Hey, man, I know I got somebody right behind me that's ready to take my spot if I don't play well, So I got to make sure that I have I'll show up and play my a game every week. So we wait excited to see Terrence Steel. Man. I hope you

ball out, y'all. I hope you actually get a shot, man, because you my LSU brethren and uh, the hunter taking it easy on my LSU guys. Okay, take it easy, man, take it easy, and it's gonna be a tough master for this defense because, like you said, they got pick your poison. The passing game is on point, and let's not sleep on their slot receiver as well. I forget his name right now, but they got a nice little slot receiver, nice tight end over there. The running game

is coming alive. So it's gonna come down to, in my opinion, which team can make the other team one dimensional. And that's where it's gonna come down to. And speaking of that, let's go ahead and getting to these predictions. D Man, Let's go ahead. I know knew he said his prediction on Thursday. I believe he had a Cowboys winning thirty six to thirty three, so a three he had, he had a shootout, he had a shootout going on up there, and I'm not sure what the spread is, CB,

do you know what the spread is? By any chance? Wait for him to get back up on us on that one. But I'm gonna go ahead and start with you if you don't mind, d Mac. Where do you see this game going? What is your prediction? Yeah, man, you know I got I got the Cowboys winning. It's gonna be it's gonna be a nice Halloween. Us we're rolling right now. I think we're gonna have a We're gonna have a healthy deck. We're ending this game. We're

gonna have a zeke, a hungry zeke, ready to roll. Receivers, ready to get in there, and we're gonna put up some points on these guys and and there will be another turnover this game. You're counting on that there will be another turnover this game. And I say that we're gonna win thirty four twenty seven, all right, dinner at a before. No, not that one, because in that case you owe me then already because didn't last. But we didn't bet anything on that. We just a friendly bet. No, no,

it wasn't friendly. We didn't have anything on. It's gonna decide it later. And we said it was gonna be like an appetizer towards you know, because you already. Okay, I already owe you, so so I owe you that I might owe you. This is for the fool dinner. No, no, I'm not bet. You ain't gonna you're gonna bet every week. Yeah, you can pile it up the week after they don't

get one, that's on, I'll make the bet. I never thought the day old old d mac not getting the back after week after they do not get a turnover, then it restarts. Then right now, after this week, you're just reaching every week. It gotta be this week. You got right, all right, Well, says you did your prediction. I'm gonna go ahead and throw mine out there. I'm with you with the Cowboys getting this victory. I do think the Cowboys will be too much if Dak Prescott starts.

If he doesn't, then I get all rights to change, to change my whole prediction. No, you don't, because you know he's you know he's hampered. You said you're not really serve he's good point right now, so you need to make your I believe Dak Prescott will play, So I'm gonna go ahead and go with the Dallas Cowboys in this one. I say it's gonna be close in the first half. I think both teams will be filling

each other out. And then I think, you know, in the second half, which we've done a lot in games, we'll start to separate ourselves. As long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot with penalties like we did in New England or turn the ball over like we did in New England, I think will be just fine. I got to score thirty one to twenty one Dallas Cowboys victory on Sunday night prime time should be a great game. It should be a great game to watch,

and um, yeah, I got the Cowboys. They So you know, I'm opposite to you because I've seen the Vikings play a couple of times and they usually start slow. So I'm seeing us getting the lead in the first half and then like we did against the Eagles, Uh, you know, we get our lead and then we take our foot off the gas a little bit, and then and they start to get a little bit of the trash yards. They come back and they make it a little tighter than it actually was in the in the in the room,

true parts of the game. So man, it sounds about right. Let's hope hopefully we all right and the Cowboys win and we all right. So look, man, minutes went fast. That's how you do it on time, right that knew he take notes. And if you watch it right now, knew he take notes. Me and d mac held it down in your absence. It was a great should to day. I thought it flowed extremely well. We'll see you feel like energy. So I think it's a old Trusty jersey over there. And the vest you know, the vest he

got that at Russell vest Man. Oh Man, Well, thanks for everybody for joining us from for Burry Church over here. The ultimate survivor Danny McCrae. We're over here in the s WBC studios.
