Player's Lounge: Where Do They Rank Now?

a show. What Church shut? Man? I don't know. I would have called you and told you I'm on my way to Austin, hellers. I ain't got a lot of y'all. Man, I some people last night I had I made plans for every single dollar lottery. I just knew it. I just knew it was coming, you know. I felt like I was getting close, and uh, you know, I my jet picked out. You know. I also also had a yacht, had a yacht. You know, my mama had a new crib. You know all that. You know, baby had baby. Listen,

it's college fun. They all that six And I woke up this morning realized, Man, I had to go to work. Yeah. The estimated cash value for the powerball yesterday was four hundred eighty five point five million dollars. How he's body won that in California after taxes. You still walking away with at least three hundred in cash cash Monday, So it's money fas. Let's get ready to forty five. They got my two dollars, They got us two is all I did? Did you do more than two to every drawing? Okay, Monday,

Wednesday and Saturn. I gotta start playing it more. I wait till it gets crazy. I gotta pay now. But I'll take the ten, I'll take five, I'll take a hundred. It ain't cost you two dollars. It's true. Some people sit up there and they go in, Hey, I'm gonna buy fifty dollars worth a lot of time. I just do a little two bucks. I'm not trying to just ain't trying. You ain't trying to win. And then he's coming there. But I'm just trying to get lucky man. So no, I'm not trying to put ten in. And

that's just me. That's just me. Okay, we all have our thing. Ten dollars for four and eighty five. Bro, you know I probably dropped that ten Okay, that's a come up. That's a real come up. Talk about a part later. So you dropped ten no no, no, I said a week, I do two to two dollars on Monday, two dollars on Wednesday two dollars. Gonna say, that's six dollars.

The question is that six dollars. Which one of y'all gonna help me out if y'all, if y'all ended up having it, if y'all ended up winning, which one of y'all was gonna have the richest person on the podcast over? I ain't nobody asked that part. Church. We had the first thing I'm gonna do, right that forty two dollars University, you're gonna look out for the lead up for you in the name of Barry Church. Hey, I'm pretty appreciate. No no, no, no no, it's more than forty two, bro,

because he got back paid this. He went to Toledo eleven years ago. So yes, a part of my just writing him because you win something like that, you need some tax on these going to be some contributions on buried churches part. That's how y'all appreciate the athletics enough. He's buried Church number forty two. David McCray, the Ultimate Survivor. You can catch him tomorrow on Survivor on CBS. And I'm new, he scrugs. This is the player's launch boy by Hotels dot com. Cowboys in first place get a

matchup against the Giants coming up. Come on. Kean O'Neill is expected to play in this game. And I just hit up one of our media buddies and said, is he vaccinated? Said no, like, okay, So it took so long. That's a because then if you if your backs, you only got to do what the five day no symptoms or something like that, get the multiple negative tests within twenty four hours. Because I was like, white, why did he play last weekend? So two games he was out.

So I just looked at and I just said to myself, Okay, what did that do? It allowed Laton Vanderes to get on the football field, and Layton played played good football. I'm not saying that played better than kiout on nil, but that's saying Neils gonna go a bit. But I always go back to what Bill Parcels used to say, you never want to leave the huddle because you don't know who's going in, which leads me to someone else,

a couple other people. Okay, Collins is suspended for five games stead of getting the two, ended up trying to bribe bribe somebody coward to ESPN, and so he now gets the four, I mean gets the five instead of the two. So that's three more games that Terrance still gets to go start. And what have we seen from three football games from Terrence still playing right tackle? He's graded out high. He's graded I was about the highest

offensive linemen. Yeah, yeah, he's playing well. He's not playing better than Layo Collins, but he's he's he's playing well enough for them to have to decide at the end of the season, is it worth paying this much when the performances only the gap is only this one. It's a minimal it's definitely minimal in getting You've opened this door for a conversation that they'll have upstairs. As you start to look at Okay, who is who's coming up?

Who do we want to keep? We know that Michael Gallup's coming up, Dalton Schultz is coming up, Randy Gregory is coming up. Your safety is all back there. So you've got a lot of guys that you're gonna have to make some decisions on here. And so Terrence Steel being able to get into the huddle and play well, its means they're going to have a conversation now. I'm not saying that they're going to trade Collins or or

cut him, but he's now put himself. Terrence Steele has putting himself in the mix where you're like, hey, we can count on this guy if we need dollars, what are we going to do? Blake Jarward's another guy They're gonna have to look at what he's doing now is they look at Dalta Schultzon's these are these are interesting conversations the Cowboys will have after this season. I would like to say this, okay about Dalton Schultz, which we

said last week. If you watch the game in it was a lot of scheme routes that the man was running, all right, It was not It wasn't one on one, beat you, beat on a seven route, beat you on the stick, nod. It wasn't any of that. It was boots to the left, break out to the right. Even the one that decked threw to him late. He just happened to be know And but what if he caught the ball and he got the yards. But it was, like I said, it wasn't the Travis Kelsey, it wasn't

the George Kittle. It wasn't that type of place. So as much as you know, we say he's playing will, I think they still believe that Blake Blake Jarwin is the guy who can be like Kelsey or that can be like he can win one along. You don't have to up stuff and I have to go ahead and get him open. I just bring us up from the standpoint of the Cowboys have great depth and they're gonna have some decisions after the season. And this obviously were

long way away from where things are being done. But you can see guys right now are impressing the coaches. I think they're impressing us like what they're able to do. And and some of these backups are pushing themselves else to get started roles or at least because said you're having the conversations, because you have a salary cap, everyone

can't be paid. They've talked about how they have to figure out ways to get a lot of production from from younger players and Mike McCarthy's his m O and Green Bay with Ted Thompsons, they played a lot of younger players, and you start looking at guys the development of these second year players, and you're saying yourself, wow, it's development some of these rookies. And you're saying, Okay, they're doing some stuff here, it's still still he is he up after this year? No, he's not up at all.

I mean, he's on a rookie deal, but is undrafted. You get three years, right, so he's on his second, so he got one more, you after the next. Okay, so they're gonna have to make a decision. They're gonna have to make a decision after this year and so and I even come back into this with a guy like Collins, Okay, this is a good right tackle National Football League. Okay, you know this. He's a top fifteen

right tackle in this league easily easily. Okay. So that and you start looking at how teams are that is potential trade made after the year if they wanted to do that. Not saying that's what they're going to do, but when you see a guy like teary and still pay ain't well and grading out, well, these are the kind of decisions that there they get to think about after the season, Collins is guarantees are going to be up. According to what are the websites I looked at deadcap

hit would be fourteen million dollars. Now, you raised the question about putting Collins at guard and keeping Terrence Still at tackle when he comes back, and I just wouldn't do that. I think he's a better player than Still. And I'm gonna put my better player out there. If what about our guard player? If outside of Martin, because we all know he's Hall of Famer, the other one on the left side was at McGovern I believe Williams.

I'm sorry, but Carlin Williams, has he impressed you enough to feel like, okay, if we put in Lyle Collins and keep that other guy Williams at guard, those are our best five no matter what those those would be our best five offensive line. That's what they think. That's what they think. That's that's what they think. Williams, by the way, as another player who's up after the season, we had a lot of decisions to make, a lot

of decisions to make it. Still also has a lot of games to play to prove that he is going to be able to sustain this for an entire season, all right. It's one thing to do it for a few games. He has to continue to do this and rack up this production as much as he can in order for this conversation to really catch fire. Right, you're talking about still right, because you all of a sudden have you know, a loal here one game and then a loyal A game after that, Then that conversation is

going to die off or out real quick. And then also layout will be back. You got you got the Giants game. You know you got the Giants game, got the Patriots game. So these are these are football games that still can keep continuing to build his resume. As they said, I just think Collins is going to get back in there and after the season there'll be conversations to have in a seventeen game season where they're gonna

have eleven straight games. Here, Uh, Terrence still is. Terrence still has solved the problem they have been trying to solve for the last three to four years, even going back to when they drafted Chads Green and third round out of Florida. Hey, we want to have ourselves as a swing tackle, and Terrence still is proven right now he could be a swing tackle, definitely at the right tackle position, and you can't have enough of that in this league. Can't have enough death. We've seen what is

going on. So for defensive leave, we got guys going down and I'm not gonna say, you know they're playing as well as Parsons or anything like that, but Wolf Hunter and Jalen Smith coming back. The depth is key. Like you mentioned, I mean, a lot of guys included myself, was trying to say, man, we don't need Jaylen smn, we don't need him out here, but alluded to your point earlier in the season. Look, man, we got it's a lot of games, seventeen games. We're gonna need depth

out there. And Wolf I mean not Bounder, but Jalen Smith. It ain't saying he's been playing, you know, immaculate or he's been playing like the greatest linebacker ever, but he's provided a great depth for us and the defenses hasn't missed a hasn't missed a step since a counting new has been out. That's crazy how the NFL works. Even hear what new he just said, right, Terence still solved the problem that we've been trying to solve for the

last four years. Right, he was part of the problem right last year, Right, and then all of a sudden things changed. Right, You can you can go out there, you can practice, you can put it into work, and you can come back out and show that you have gotten better because you went in the lab and did what you was supposed to do. You got bigger, you got stronger, you got faster, you worked on your technique, and all of a sudden, it's totally un eighty from

how were talking about Tenier steal last year. Yes, but I also go back into the defense for him. One, you're coming out of a passing offensive Texas Tech Big twelve, you know, I mean you play in the SEC. You know, the Big twelve that is not going to be m You know, there's not a lot of guys you pulled out to Big twelve and just you know, especially his undrafted dudes, and then all of a sudden put him out here and they're able to handle the last football league.

There's an adjustment. So you had that didn't have an off season, kind of got thrown out there a little bit too quick, and he got eight up as as many people were out there. But man, what credit you give the player? For recognizing what was going on getting better. Joe Philbin clearly one of the better offensive love coaches out there. He got right strength conditioning staff. They helped get this kid right, and they used job. They used

a draft pick on Josh Ball out of Marshall. We're thinking, okay, here's that swift tackle guy. And who knows what Josh Ball can be. In a perfect world, he becomes like Doug Free they took in the fourth round out of Northern Illinois, ended up become and starting football player on that Cowboy offensive line. So maybe they can develop one more guy. But man, what they've done with Steel is great.

And so after the year, the Cowboys keep doing what we think they're doing and the players that are going to be up and the decisions have to be made. College is a valuable piece. This is not something where hey, man, we're gonna cut this guy. Gonna be fullish. I mean, here's a guy who would have trade value in the national football There are plenty of people in Cincinnati should be called it's a good problem to have Steell's gonna

have some trade value. It's gonna be well, that's what happens when you have teams that play well, right, make the playoffs, go to the super Bowl. Whatever You've been a part of it to where all of a sudden other teams want these guys. Bruce Carter, right, Bruce Carter is playing special teams like crazy for us. He's playing linebacker makers, the players get some interceptions, y'all have a good season. All of a sudden, he's going to Tampa making you know what, saying five or six million dollars

a year and they just coming. They just picked the players off those teams that should have been successful. Sure, no no doubt about it. And Carl Williams is just going to get a good contract and it's likely to play for someone else. I see Xavier, see a Filo. He's a guy, was a backup player. He's out here starting, starting Cincinnati and Joe Burrow getting killed after So that's why I say, you know, after the season, you know

you've got you've got some riches here. They have done a great job developing, um there these guys, and so I could see Williams leaving and McGovern being able to fill his spot because he's still on a rookie deal. So they're options or Collins and keep still at the tackle after the season. I mean, you just never know. There's a lot of different options you can go with. Okay, Church, I'm gonna stop you right there, all right, what's going on? What's wrong with him going in the guard? Dude? Guys

at guard don't make what they do at tackle. Yeah, mean, he's already under contract, he's under contract, but I just don't know if that's what he wants to do. And you're talking about now going to left guard, which he's played before, but I just I don't know. I just I don't I don't see it because Okay, so let's say you, I'm saying you gotta played the best fat

right now. I think t Still Colins Smith, be honest, and Zach Martin that'd be your best flat right, so you can go I was sliding this, So okay, how about this right here on the players line, do you tell me you got your players? How does Mike McCarthy and Joe philbin Sell, Toll Collins go to guard? They ain't selling that, go to Gord or you getting trained or you bout it. You can try to rob him? Wow? Wow, due that when we when we come back here on

the players lounge. Yeah, he was. When we come back on the players Lounge, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You shouldn't have done it. Be your own count. He shouldn't have done it. Man, Listen, when he got caught, he knew, all right, he went to the LSU. Al right, so one thing he knew about this locker room to LSU locker room. You're gonna get made fun of it, don't matter what. But hey, man, not to make fun of that. You made a bad decision, but the joke, it was

just sitting there. You don't take it. Don't take it. Two personal please.

Giants Coming to Town. Giants won their first football game UH last week, and to me, it was impressive because they won it down in New Orleans and the Saints had been away having dealt with the issues of the hurricane nice crowd, and the Giants go down there and win a game. So in some ways it's kind of good because, you know, maybe the Giants can rest a little bit, feel good about themselves, maybe drink maybe maybe drink the kool aid, the cheese, who knows, who knows,

but bottom as we speak, the defensive sweating. Alright, man, what are we gonna do? Oh yeah, Zeke say Quon Barkley looked like sae Quon Barkley last week. And Danny dimes Daniel Jones or quarterback is he makes mistakes. But if you look at their last three football games, they were in those football games they lost at the buzzer against Atlanta. They won against Washington, miss kicked with my man first round pick jumping outside, so they go do

it again and Watchington kicked and they lost. Losing teams due You're right, that is what losing teams do. But also at the same time, just looking at what they're doing says to me, Okay, if you're the Cowboys US, it's Mike Mike mccarth like saying a comment. Opponent be ready to play. And you had mentioned should you be worried about Danny Dimes. We saw Sam Donald rush for two touchdowns and put up rushing yards against this Cowboys defense.

And when you sent to the topic question, I said, yes, you do have to worry about his use of legs. You definitely, I mean I wouldn't be overly worried about it. But you can't sleep on a guy like that. I mean, he looks goofy coming out of there running the ball and all that stuff. But the guy has legit speed out there. We've seen him take sixty yards, We've seen him take eighty yards to the house, so he gets

legit speed out there. But from the Dallas Cowboys. But I'm not overly concerned I think we're gonna smack this team pretty bad. I'm coming in here. We're coming in here. Oh no, we're going We're going up there, we come here's here. Yeah, they're coming down here on Sunday. I think we're gonna smack this team pretty bad. I just don't think they have nothing to hang with us defensively. Offensively. I think we can confuse Danny Dads because, like like we said, he can run the ball a little bit,

but he's a turnover waiting to happen. And we can confuse this guy and get this guy to throw us picks. I mean, we've seen it last week with Sam Darnold how DQ had. These guys are rolling all over the place taking his mane. You think it's zone, got to have back and then they think it's man. But we've we've seen them confused better quarterbacks out there. So we

can bring that same approach to Danny Dames. I think we can take away take the ball away from him a couple of times, and we can limit his we can limit his ability out there. We got guys that can spy him. Parsons, Gregory Bashing, we got overall team speed and that's what we were missing these past couple of years with Dallas Cowboys. We didn't have enough defensive speed,

and I think we got that now. So I think we can can kind of corral him as far as running the ball, and we could talk him in and throwing us picks. Yeah, I worried about him. I think I think you should worry about it enough to say, hey man, we're gonna force this guy to throw. All right, I will put all my eggs in one basket. Stop this guy from being able to scramble. All right, Stay in your Russian lanes, make sure everybody is ready to

keep him in the pocket. And then when he tries to move up in the pocket, make sure you have people in those lanes to make those tackles. Right because we know, like you said, if we force Danny Dimes Danny Domes to throw the ball against us and have to make those third and longs and have to throw in order to get those first downs and keep those drives alive, we're going to make it. We're going to turn them over. All this will be another game, what a bunch of turnovers if we are able to do that.

If not, it'll look like the first half of us playing against Carolina where we got Sam Darnold running for touchdowns on its So I think if it's me, I'm focusing strictly on stopping the run between with him and say Quan, and then they gonna have to beat us throwing the ball. Your thoughts on the offensive coordinator the Giants, Jay He ain't. He knows us better than anybody. I ain't. So I'm not gonna sleep on JG. Now. I mean, everybody calls his offense vanilla and all the other stuff.

But you know, you know the Cowboys, Oh, they're gonna throw the how he's doing Guys out there, I'm telling him right now, I wouldn't sleep on j G. But this will be a blow I mean, we just it's just the team, just talent overall, man versus the Giants. It's just it's too much to overcome. This is just don't think they got enough. This is the one game that you know, in the last few weeks that I

don't think it's going to be a blowout. This is at all the games I mean, because I mean, if you if you watch watch last year when j G came to town, and you know, we may some people may fund say, man, you gotta be careful because when he's coming here to play the Dallas Cowboys, it's something about the bag that he's coming out of that he's like, I'm gonna make sure that I run some stuff that I hadn't shown, right, whatever, it's the vanilla offense that

he has. When he came here last year, we were like, oh, man, j G called the hell of a game, right, So you can guarantee he's bringing that same thing. And you can say you got sa Quan who's coming back and look like he's playing better. We really did not stop to run that will last. So it's not like there isn't like weaknesses on our defense. So and it's a

division game. This this team is coming in riding high, thinking that they can get back into the season just if they can make a statement against the Dallas Cowboys. So I think it's gonna be a harder fought game than the last two that we were gonna sleep on these boys. I think that like if we go in there just knowing we can dominate these guys, like, I think it's gonna happen. Just that the talent gap is just too big on this quid. I mean What are they gonna do with Zeke? What are they gonna do

with Poltte out there? And look, even though we have Gallop out and Amari Cooper and Cede Lamb only caught a combined eight passes together. You know, last week, we still put up thirty six points. I mean, we got that many options out there is offensively, and I just don't think New York can hang with that. Don't don't do what we did for the last two games at the end, Oh we are, We're eventually gonna lose one

of those. Yeah, when you're looking to the context of the numbers, I'm trying to figure how the Saints lost this game twenty seven twenty one in overtime. On third downs, the Saints were eight of thirteen. Meanwhile, the Giants were four of eleven on third downs. Total plays were basically even, sixty five for the Saints, sixty for the Giants. Total yards Giants had had eighty more four eighty five to four or five passing. The Giants really won that one there,

but they threw more. They twenty eight to forty for four one hundred and two yards of passing. Meanwhile, the Saints on the other side of nineteen to twenty six, two thirty four. When it comes to rushing, the Giants land eighty three yards of rushing in the football game. Meanwhile, the Saints had a buck seventy. I can tell you how they lost. Just so I listening to that, I didn't see the game. Big place that. If you watch, if you want sae Quon's deep ball, you saw it

was a man and man covers Lattimore to corner. Was he was sleeping on a running back. I ain't gotta worry about his running back out there. He was trying to jumping out. Sae Quon went deep on he touchdown and safety wasn't there his big plays. If you not convert third downs or you're putting up points, they mean you ain't getting the third down. Scoring on you passing the third now, man, we can't convert them anyways. So

let's go ahead and score on first and second. And you're talking about their The Giants defense was on the field for thirty seven minutes, big players, big players killing the stays did so looking right here, what you said, big play? Um? The Giants get on the board on a John Ross fifty two yard touchdown pass. I'm still in the I ain't even know he was still in the league. I mean, but he got some speed away.

But I'm like man. And then Um in the third quarter of fifty two yard pass to se Quon Barkley, and then they got the two point conversion to make it to twenty one eighteen. Then Graham Gano tied it up Um with thirty one seconds left in the game at twenty one twenty one. And then they go in overtime. Giants get the football, they go score nine place seventy five yard driving five minutes and six seconds. And they're coming here without their their best receiver, right, I think

Stirling Sheppard is still out. So does they come in They're coming in here injured. I mean, I don't think it's gonna be These are the ones, man, These are the games. These are the Jacksonville games. Speaking of Justin Herbert did look good last night? He played well? Did he played well? Uh? You know, but but our friend Jerry Madelin he sent he sent the stats, right, oh did he? It says entering week five? Because you know, Church be acting like this huge gap between does not

act like there's a big gap. Four top six graded quarterbacks this season, were drafted in twenty nineteen or earlier. Colin Murray with an eighty six point seven, I mean eighty seven point six. Justin Herbert eighty seven point five. Joe Burrow eighty six point one. So he's right behind, right behind, right behind. What did I say? You said this? Did I say which? No? You said it afterwards, after after then you started throwing Burrow het who's ranked higher? Huh?

Who's ranked high? Right now? Yeah? Justin Herbert? Who was the question? It was better? No? No, I mean what now we put a stipulation, stipulation who's better? Herberts better on the ring. Gave me to look like this, Herbert, you said it is not good. Literally the way you looked, you made it sound like he said. Carlon, what did I say? Absolutely? I said one and then and then

we said something about Cincinnati. He's the first person to beat the Steelers at home, and he's like over Carson, I mean, already don't ever want to playoff because he want flowers, as Farmer did want to playoff. But in Arizona, yeah, they want flowers followers. I'm going here. They got they got the same record, Okay, they got the same record. They both care and their teams they both in the top five. So I mean I played against the better

team last week. So you're the Raiders defense is horrible. They played horrible last Rsonville huh, Jacksonville's defense, it's better. They played bad too, oh Man, basically played well at the beginning. But you look at the amount of three and one teams over in the AFC, it's it's it's a big while. So in the East you got the Buffalo Buffalos three and one. Everybody else in that division

is one and three. But go over to the North, Cincinnati three and one, Baltimore three and one, Cleveland three and one. Then over in the West you've got the Chargers three and one, Raiders three and one, Broncos three and one, but Kansas City in last place two and two. Broncos they stand up. Broncos got some problems, easy stch, easy schedule. But but what are you supposed to do when you got when you got some advantages going your way? Cussion now, so you know, yeah, I ain't look it's

too good at Broncos. All right. So that was our look over the AFC. Let's take a break. Want to get into the NFC and just some standings. Where do we where? Rankings? Where do we feel the Cowboys all right now? Just in the conference? Okay, in the NFC, just in the NFC. No, the whole NFC conference. Let's dive into that next.

That's a good that's a solid four and oh two. It ain't like it's you know, and it ain't like it's the Broncos undefeated or anything like that day they've been playing. Some cats may look good. Green.

Here are your three and one football teams. The Cowboys first place in the East, the Packers three and one, first place in the North, Tampa Bay Carolina three and one tied in the NFC South. Then you got the La Rams at three and one in second place behind the Cardinals in the West. If you are ranking top five in the NFC right now, I'm only worried about number two. That's us. Yeah, I think the Cardinals are

They've just they've earned it. Their offense looks outstanding. Kyler Murray, I think that literally the arraid system has come come to the league now and Kyler Murray is the perfect guy to run it. And they're playing really, really well. Defense is playing well. We saw my man get five sacks in Week one challenge. Johnson got Buddha Baker out there that they causing turnovers there, playing great as a team, full clump, complimentary football, special teams, defensive, offense, and then

there's us. All right, we saw what happened to the rams they got taken apart. I think they have some weaknesses. I still think they're they're still top five, but I think the way that we've played, we're one play away from being undefeated, right on plays, miss field goal away, miss extra point away from being undefeated. All Right, we've looked. I think we've been getting better on offense, we've been more balanced, we're starting to get better on defense. We

can take it, we can takeaways. We're blowing teams out, so they're getting these trash yards. But if you watch when we play, uh like we have something to prove we're playing really, really well, and special teams has not been you know, the cause of anything. You know, So I haven't set number two. I think the Packers will be number three. I will get Stafford and the Rams number four, and you know, number five, I gotta put time, Braden in the time. And I wasn't really impressed with

what they did up there in New England. You got Gronk out uh, he still had his weapons, and they they can't they can't really run the ball, They're not really playing well on defense. So I'm gonna have them a number five, just out of respect the fact that they were the Super Bowl champions last year. I'm gonna go. You know, I agree a lot with you on a lot of what your rankings are. Definitely the top two.

I mean Arizona to me, undefeated. They've gone against some solid competition out there and they've been able to shut down the competition. So and they would against the Rams last week, who you know, everybody thought after that Tampa Bay game, this is the team to be, this is it, this is it. And they went out there and they embarrassed the Rams and they prove that they belong here.

Kyla Murray. He got weapons on the outside. You got d Hot, you got aj Green, Christian Kirk who didn't really even do much that game, but he's a weapon out there as well. And they're able to run. So to me, they're playing great, complimentary football, just like you said, offensively defensively, so they got to be my number one in the NFC right now, and number two falls on the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, we were playing as balanced as we've been playing in these past two weeks. Dak

Prescott has been extremely efficient. He only threw the ball twenty two times last week and we put up one hundred eighty yards and four touchdowns. And our two main receivers, Lamb and CD, like I said earlier, only combined for eight catches and we still put up thirty six points. So to me, it's just pick your poison. Are you gonna is that gonna throw the ball on you or is Zeke and Pollard I'm gonna run it down your throat. So offensively, we're extremely hard to prepare for, and defensively,

we got the game plan right now. It's ben but don't break and take the ball away. And we're leading the NFL right now, takeaways, treyvon Daz five interceptions out there. We've got a lot of sacks as well. We're generating pressure with a lot of backups right now. The depth we have on the defensive side of the ball, I mean, we haven't had that in a very long time. We don't even have d Lawl out there, we don't have Neville Gallimore, and we're still rolling defensively. So I think

we got the formula right now. We got to be at number two because, like you said, Arizona, they're balling right now. Number three, I'm gonna have to all I'll put the rams on there, you know. I think they got what it takes to at least make a push deep into the into the playoffs. Out there, Matt Stafford has looked good other than this past week. So I get them number three. Packers, I gotta go time number four.

I gotta go time on number four. I mean, just out of the respect to him, and I put Packers at five because I don't think their defense will do anything out there. I think when it comes to the playoffs and when they play against better teams, their defense will get exposed and it's gonna have to be Aaron Rodgers in the shootout, and I don't think that's sustainable. So I'll put them at number five, but top two extremely solid man Arizona and Dallas Cowboys. Let's check it

out the Washington Post and their NFL overall rankings. They've got Buffalo number one, Green Bay number two, Tampa three, Cleveland four, Arizona five, and they've got the Cowboys checking in at age. I'll say this for Green Bay, this is to means what is pretty impressive about what they've done now going on three years. They are twenty six and nine in the regular season the last three seasons, which is a that's a lot of winning. That's a lot.

That's a lot of winning. And of course we know is Aaron Rodgers being Aaron Rodgers, the Hall of Famer that he is. But that's that's I don't think people understand how hard that is to do over three years, because that means you also have to be healthy and guys, we've got to be playing at a high level. And right now what we're seeing with Tampa Bay is they're

losing guys. They are losing guys, and I just know while they got away with New England, I think it's going to be tough for them over the next month or so to trying to get some wins here because it's tough and Gronk's got the broken ribs. I mean, Cameron Brake is a nice player, but he's not grownk. And Oj Howard, who's in number one pick on, I don't know why he still doesn't why yeah, why he

still doesn't get run. So I think Tampa's gonna come back to the pack a little bit here, So it's gonna be very interesting to see what happens with them. But the Cowboys definitely are making they're making a statement. They've got another opportunity to make him against the Giants and then go up to New England. You know, Bill Belichick's gonna have something for the Cowboys to see exactly

what they can do there. Um Dix right now, Trayvon Dix was asked by Jerry Jones one or five through the fan if he reminded him of Dion Sanders at all, and Jerry rightfully, So it's just kind of tapped the brakes on it, but just said, hey, look, I love what he's doing here and and I think that's um high praise from from the owners. He really likes what

he's doing. And I think the biggest thing that you can say for Trayvon Diggs right now, and I'm gonna go back to to to what I'm gonna sound like Jason Garrett, but I'm gona go back to way used to talk about, you know, the right kind of football player, the kind of guy you want, you know, on your team, and the way he approaches the game. Trayvon Diggs does that?

So you like that? Yes, okay, all right, just let me tell you something something because now because before he was like, well, I'm gonna go back to Jason, like, you know, like give was something bad. He's Jason Garrett had the team, you know, he had the team listening to him. We followed him and he and stuff like I just wanted to make sure that you you know, you give me. Yeah, somebody here h hit him, says, do you mean health is going to play a big part?

And what happens the rest of the year every I mean ask ask anybody who's a Kansas City Chiefs thing. This time last year, you could legitimately say, hey, what are the plans? What are the plans for the parade route? You mean, you could lovely do that and Kansas City got to the Super Bowl, but you lost three offensive linemen, three starters, and you got got Meanwhile, Tampa bayed seven and five at one point last year. People are having questions about whether or not Bruce arians and Tom Brady

can get along. And I just think people don't understand enough at how long the football season is and how it changes, and oh, by the way, teams can get better, teams can get healthy. I think this Cowboys we talked about yesterday, the ability to get healthy here and have depth is something that can really help them out, especially

after the byeway. They've got leven straight football. Tell me this because I think when you think about the Packers, and if you discount that first week, because think about everything that was going on with Aaron Rodgers, right, all the time that he missed, figuring out if he's gonna come back to the team, trying to get acclimated to just playing for headball again. Right, And they came and they looked horrible. Aaron Rodgers did not look like Aaron Rodgers, right,

But he got that week under this belt. Ever since then, he's looked like Aaron Rodgers, right, And they looked like that old unbeatable Packers team or who's going to be able to contend every year to go to the NFC Championship win their division. They looked like that team again. So I think that's that's why I have them a little higher than yours, just because I've seen Aaron Rodgers come back. Because that first week I was like, oh good, he looked like when Tampa baby the last year, Bro,

did you do any throwing the college? So they got me thirty eight to three by New Orleans down there in Jacksonville. Then they came home and throttled Detroit thirty five to seventeen. Then they went to San Francisco and came back the end and one thirty to twenty eight. Then they just took took down the Steelers lambeau Field twenty seven to seventeen. This week they have Cincinnati, and you kind of look here at this list their next three games or games that you think that they're going

to win. They go to Cincinnati this week. That's see, that's Cincinat is the three and one team who's been playing better. All right, I don't think you can just go in They're not going to Jacksonville. So after that they host the Bears, then they will host I should say, you know, they go to Chicago, So they go to Chicago. Then they will host the Washington football team. Then a very good Thursday night contest as they will travel to

Arizona to face Kyler. Right, so that's going to be a good football game, followed by in my opinion, three really good interesting games. So Thursday night against Arizona, ten days to get ready to go on the road to face the Kansas City Chiefs. Then they come home to host Russell Wilson and the Seahawks, and then they get the Minnesota Vikings and they're gonna go to Minnesota for that one, and that's always an interesting contest when they go to Minnesota, that's a that's that's always a tough

battle right there. So um, you know, next three games and they should get those. But after that, man, you start looking in at the end of October, a Thursday night game schedule is gonna get really interesting. If we're talking about a battle for the first place in the whole one seas that's the only place that gets the Cowboys gotta be they gotta have a high percentage on that one. I mean, I don't see users in a game until what Kansas City come in to town. That's

after the battle. We might be seven and one going against Kansas City. I only see us maybe taken, maybe having three l's on this whole schedule. But that game against Arizona is going to be a huge game. That's the end of the sea. That's gonna be hiding who's going problems in that first round. Buying who's not schedule is very interesting for the Cowboys here for sure. I don't see this is why the NFL is better than

the NBA. Right We're going into this season. Every every every year you're go into the NFL season, you literally you can say this team's gonna be good, this team's gonna be bad. But you literally have no idea right when you go to the NBA, you know gonna stay used to be what it was or whoever Lebron's playing for This year to me, from what I've watched over the first few weeks of the season, has been some of the most competitive, entertaining games that I've seen, like

across the league. The Cincinnatis of the world, the Cleveland Browns of the world, these are they used to be like, I ain't turning that on the twelve o'clock anybody watching that. Now you're watching these teams because you're like, all right, they got some players and they're making some noise. These these games are more competitive than they've ever been. So the Cowboys schedule right now. This weekend, it's the Giants coming to town. Then it's going on the road to

New England. Then you've got a road game Halloween Night on NBC at Minnesota, followed by a home game against Denver. This is gonna be a really interesting game. Atlanta comes here to face Dallas and what dan Quinn does that's a rat Well, I say interesting, but at the same time too, I mean, look, you know, I think it's always something means something when you go against your old team. And I think, and you guys have been in the rooms. If they like dan Quinn, it's clear. I gotta believe

that's a game they want to get for him. Oh yeah, all you mean interesting is that we're gonna try to blow your keyan O'Neil and you're you're Demante. Yeah, you know you're letting guys, you're being this playbook. They can't get done. So yeah, interesting, isn't interesting for how hard we're gonna play? Maybe see how many turnops we're gonna get. But as far as us losing the yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't think we're in that much of trouble. I'm saying that now. I don't think

we're in that trouble. The Minnesota game is one to pay attention to as well. It's Halloween Night is going to be on NBC. And I bring this up because I'm looking at Minnesota and the Vikings are one in three football team where they're type though, where does this thing start to go for them? Um? The more they play some games. From the standpoint, all right, you got Detroit this week, then you got Carolina and then before you get Dallas. So you know what kind of football

team are you looking at? You're looking at a two or you know they got three losses? You've got you got three, four or five of me. They're getting to that point in time where they keep up adding up these losses. You you're about to get put out at a playoff chase. Get right for that next year and

in the way green bass playing. Okay, now you're trying to get a wild card, which is you know, and that's that's the worst teams to play though, man, especially when you rolling a Minnesota team with all that talent. Who on the record it says they're two and six or two and whatever. But you know, right you they played again. They theyrely loss against Arizona, who's undefeated. I those a missfield goal away from winning that game. Cincinnati.

You look at they play Cleveland Real tips fourteen seven in Cleveland. So I mean, this team, they're not scrubs. Record just doesn't indicate how good really that they really are. Also, they're like the giant they have been in the football games, the games that they've lost. You look at them, me, okay, look you've been in these games. I mean the Giants at first win. You know, they just weren't good against Denver at all at all. They weren't there in dinner

Stefensi subpoc Any. But the next three games after that, you lose by a point. Then you lose by a point to Washington in a game that you want lost. Then you lose on a field goal fourteen fourteen game, you lose on a field goal at the end to Atlanta, and then you ended up getting a win. This was against New Orleans this week. So this league, while the records say one day we will talk about contact here, you start looking at the contact for a team like Minnesota.

It's not a bad one in three team. It's a team that's one in three that has not found the right ways to win and hasn't gotten the proper breaks. The Cowboys were able to get the proper breaks and capitalize and beat Carolina on Sunday, and Minnesota is not doing it. And I'll also say this, I'm worried from my guy Zimmer, Mike Zimmer, the head coach, because if this thing doesn't go, they're not a playoff football team this year. They're gonna start looking for somebody. It's Kirk

Cousins up this year. He's like, Cousins got Dalts. It was all guaranteed. But how many years was it? It was like three or four? Yeah, this this should be Yeah, he read up again because they signed him for three year sixty six or something like that. So he Kirk Cousins is that guy when it comes to getting the bag unless he be up out of him. All right, let's roll on here right now, kirk Cousins has nine touchdowns and one interception with a quarterback reading on one

h five right now, he's playing ball. So so, kirk Cousins is not the reason they're one. The boy context all late, down them dudes be down, and then he come back at the end, you know, getting the old old And I will also spit it this way. He's not the reason they're losing, but he's a part of the last and you have to make sure you account for them because you talk about his record, especially against

good teams. There's a guy that doesn't beat a lot of good teams, all right, Barry Church, Danny mcraib, new rescructs appreciate you checking out the players right here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
