Player's Lounge: Who More To Gain?

we miss your church. Just we're just gonna say we miss you, you know, last podcast of the regular season, and we're gonna miss you for this on. Okay, but now we don't have to deal with your outrageous outtakes about Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow and all this other stuff. So it'll be okay for me. I get the hype up Joe Burrow all day today. I need you to text him because we need his prediction for the game Philadelphia tomorrow night, and we need his prediction for the

Charger Raider. Game winner goes to the playoffs, so we need we need to go ahead. His prediction is already there. He said that the charges are going and they're going further than uh than uh Cincinnati. Okay, that wouldn't be a stretch if he did that, if the Chargers made it would not shock beat all if if that happened, because poor Cincinnati's history, they have to play um New England. That's what I see. I'm comfortable with that. I'm comfortable

what they were talking about. Depending on who wins and who loses, their their prediction is that Joe Burrow will be going against my man, Bill Belisi. And I'm okay with that. Okay. You see we did. We already got saving, he got saving, okay, and savings. We're okay with that, Okay. I just for me, it's not the quarterback as much as the coaching. That's my fav I'm sorry. I just believe Zach Taylor is a okay head coach. Would you believe about okay, head coach? What did Joe Burrow do

for him? And it's okay, right? And I just think if you're if you're asking him against Belichick, I just think that that's a tall order. That's a tall order. You know. I love Joe, but that's just a tall order, especially if the other guy on the other side can't help you. UM. I don't know if you ever watched the Belichick Sabing HBO special Fantastic Television and had a great line in there. Bill said, you can't overcome back

coaching because you simply can't cannot do it. No matter how good your players are, you cannot overcome back coaching. But they have Nui. Andy Reid is a good coach and the enemy is a good They are good coaches over there. You know what just happened to them? Joe Burrow overcame whatever you just said, it's bad coaching, overcame it, all right, And I'm only gonna say this two playoffs. You have to listen and you play, and you've been

in the playoffs. I have not. Unfortunately, oh you did not made But thank you though, that was that Barry. It's not me. Eight eight eight eight eight Nate, thank you. That was that was me. I was eight eight eight eight Nate, and then I was six and ten before that, and then I was four and twelve, I mean five and eleven with the Bears, and I was four and twelve when I got back. So my my record as

a football NFL football player, not so good. And I reiterate what I just said, you not, You can't coach. They went to the playoffs both times that I left that coach both times that I loved. They went to the playoffs with that coach that you're talking about. Shout out to j g Man, Shout out to your playoff runs, coach of the year and all that. You know, Hold up, Yeah, yeah, good for him. Maybe he'll maybe he'll be a coordinator next year for someone we'll see. Glad there's not in

New York because Joe Judgin. But that's thinking it up, trying to blame it on somebody else, just like, just like, just like Cleveland blamed the offensive problems on Odell Beckham and O'Dell went out there and then what he doing and Cleveland still sucking. Jason Garrett is gone. How many points per game has New York but up? Maybe twelve. I'm just hoping Joe Judge wins. I mean, Joe Judge stays. Okay, I see Joe Judge to stay up there as the

head coach. Um, it's a travel day for the Cowboys Friday. They played them all night. They played Sunday night. How much of a disadvantage from a body clock for a player is that, Danny, I would say this, This is not as short of a week as playing on the

Sunday and then having to play on the Thursday. So I think you're you're more okay under this circumstance than you are when you have to play those three games and twelve days, which is rough on your body, especially if it's physical teams that you are having to play. I think they're okay for this one, especially since it's

gonna be a lot of backups in the game. You already got your playoffs bat locked in, so if anything does go crazy, you can still pull your starters out and put those backups in and let them get some extra playing time. So I think I think it's okay for this one. Those Sunday to Thursday games, though, that

those are tough. That's why you see those type of injuries. Yes, usually when you play in those games are usually it's like a really a really big defensive game, or you scoring a whole bunch of points because somebody's not showing up how they usually do. I look at this and the Cowboys are favorite in the football game put his war and more guys face issues here. I'm losing the confidence from the standpoint of who's gonna be out here. You got digs who's hasn't tested pods and not in

COVID protocol. But they're like, he's got an illness, we gotta watch it, so you're monitoring that, And unfortunately, I think people don't take seriously. Okay, he's got ill we don't know what that could be. Okay, I mean, we don't know, and that could affect him trying to play on Saturday night in Philadelphia. Donovan Wilson, same thing, an illness that hadn't really told us what it is. But they're monitoring it so he could play, and if he plays,

maybe nine hundred percent. So the Cowboys are gonna I'm gonna be very interested to see how this game goes. And then of course with Philadelphia and what they decided to do with their own players. So um, right now we will have more to Philadelphia, so we should if you look at it on paper, we should still be

okay to beat Philadelphia. I believe that we will have more firepower, more of our starters, more of our impact players playing in the game than Philadelphia will and we also have more to play for than Philadelphia, So I believe that we will do we should do better. I think we stack up better against what they should have well be putting out there on the fields. Looking at this this list of playoffs, he possibilities Philly could end up moving to the six position. Here. It's slim, but

definitely a possibility here, so um at two. Listen, it's slim, but it's a possible. You need La, you need the Rams and lose the Bucks to lose, and who else is that? It? Um? Yeah, that Rams? Okay, Listen's all right, Yeah, it's slim, but it's possible. What you don't want to do, like I said, is you don't want to go out here, miss off this game and then have those two teams lose on something. There's two scenarios, and let me give the two scenaris and what you need to happen. The

first one is Cowboys obviously have to win. Carolina needs to beat Tampa, Niners need to beat the Rams, Seattle needs to be Arizona, and New Orleans needs to beat Atlanta. The other scenario, Cowboys win, Carolina beats Tampa, San Francisco Tops, the Rams. Seattle will beat Arizona and Atlanta Beach New Orlands. This is like, but think about what you just said though,

and how doable that is? All right? You're talking about conference games, well, divisional games between Russell Wilson and whoever's gonna be playing against the quarterback for the forty nineers, right, the forty nine Ers and the Seahawks, So that that is that is a possibility. Right. Then you got the Rams versus Arizona, Arizona Rams and Niners. Rams and Rams

and Niners. So the Niners can definitely beat the Rams, and then got then you got Settle Seattle can definitely be a These are things that can happen, Okay, right, and then then this New Orleans and Atlanta game, like this isn't even one of those ones where you're like, all right, it will have to take a miracle for that to happen. It can happen. You got Taysom Hill plan and you got Matt Ryan plan. I mean, we're okay, this is not as far as stretch as I think

some people think it is. So we need to go out and handle business on Saturday, all right, So Danny, that's the two scenarios to get up to the number two seats. There are two scenarios to get the number three seats, and in that case, obviously, the Cowboys have to win. Tampa Bay beats Carolina, the Niners beat the Rams,

Seattle beats Arizona, New Orleans beats Atlanta. The second scenario to get the number three seaton, the Cowboys beat Philadelphia, Tampa beats Carolina, Rams lose to the forty nine Ers, Seahawks beat Arizona, Atlanta beats New Orleans. So basically, tell me if I'm tripping about about about the two seeds of the possibility based on the n NFC West and

what how competitive is it is? And you know the quarterbacks that will be playing in that game and the coaches that will be coaching those games, it is very possible for it to fall in our favor, especially in the NFC West matchups. Okay, Tampa, it's iffy, but that was the Jets that they almost lost to last week. Would you like to know the scenarios in which it could be the Cowboys or Rams? What? Wait? What see? Would that be for US four? That would be us

with the four five? So um and uh, there's what one, two, three, four, five or six. So they're six scenarios and m Dallas in up winning, Tampa beats Carolina, San Francisco beats the Rams, Arizona beats Seattle, New Orleans beats Atlanta. The other one Dallas beats Philly, Tampa beats Carolina, Niners beat the Rams, Arizona beats Seattle, Atlanta beats New Orleans. The other Dallas versus the Rams scenario. In the first round, Dallas beats Philly,

Carolina beats Tampa. San Francisco beats the Rams, Arizona beats Seattle, New Orleans beats Atlanta. The other scenario, Dallas beats Philly, Carolina tops Tampa. San Francisco beats the Rams, Arizona tops Seattle, Atlanta beats New Orleans. Then another one right, Philly beats Dallas, Tampa beats Carolina, San Francisco beats the Rams, Arizona beats Seattle, New Orleans beats Atlanta. The other scenario here Philly, No, man, hey, listen. So there's a lot. Bottom line, it can happen. It

can happen. Now, the most likely scenario the odds and I can't remember, what's the thing you studying in the business class about standard deviation or whatever. So um, the standard deviation is basically telling you one is gonna be Dallas in Arizona. Two still gonna be Dallas in Arizona. A third deviation will most likely be a Dallas Rams. I'm going number two C all right, I think that this thing can happen, and I'm and I'm going I'm

going by this from experience. I don't remember exactly what it took for us in two thousand and seven to get to the national championship for LSU, but we were a two lost national championship team, right and when we beat I want to say it was Tennessee in the SEC Championship. We're on the plane. We needed like the top three teams to lose. I want to say it was like West Virginia, forget it was Wrent Virginia, like two other teams, and they're announcing this and it's like, okay,

well Virginia loss. Oh the next team lost, the next team lost, and we just go crazy. But nobody had us pick to go to the national championship that year because we were a two lost team. I think Ohio State was also below as well. And they needed some other teams to win and it worked out for us and we wouldn't won the national championship. So it's possible. Yeah, they got this at that one where Ohio State got beat up and they had Urban Mark eating pizza on

the card after the game. It's like someone whoever they played it beat up. That mean they beat up on Hiles and Music in Wisconsin. But somebody beating up because No, I forgot No, No, No. Two thousand and seven the head coach for Ohio State that was right after Trump, trustle who was right after him? Whoever, whoever it was, I don't know. Beanie Wills was the running back. That's that's That's what I know. Beanie Wells was the running back.

But it happened for us, so it's possible. This is why I have the I have some type of faith that it can happen because it's happened for me before. So number two seed we can get it. But the first thing we gotta do it win on Saturday night, because it's all irrelevant if we go out there and lose on Saturday. Okay, look, it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting. And the Cowboys, especially offensively have to come

out in this football game and set the tone. This is where Kellen Moore, in my opinion, has got to do what you've been asking for and what Mike McCarthy's been asking for. Play some complimentary football, run it, run the dark thing and if Amari Cooper is good to go, so far it looks like he's good to go. Can you give nineteen to football? Last game you won, you give gave a steady die to number nineteen? Do it? You know? Can we do it until we see it

doesn't work? I mean that That's what I'd be thinking right now. Hey kind of work. Let me feed this guy. Force feed this guy until it doesn't That's the crazy thing. I have not seen it. I haven't seen it not work. It's about the fact when you do it, it's like starting from when we made the trade to get him. When you do it, you look like a totally different team. When you don't say, hey man, I'm gonna spread the

ball around everybody that ain't high work. How it works is you get the talented guys the ball, especially the guy that you paying twenty million, who you say is the best route runner possibly in the league, who is knocking on your door saying, Hey, if y'all want to win, let Booby spend give me the ball. So let me just simply ask this question here, because this is this, This comes to you being a player. You're on this team. You clearly see what's going on. Do you ever have

a conversation with Dad? Hey? Man, I'm on the defense, but I'm just gonna ask you a question. Should you be feeding nineteen more? I see twelve feet and seventeen Green Bay been working like Craig? I mean, can you have that conversation or is that out of pocket? I'm gonna tell you, like this me, when I was playing in the level of a player that I was at, my the salary that I was making, I wasn't going to Tony Romo telling them to throw it to Miles

Austin or Dad's Brian. Okay, it has to be somebody who has that type of relationship with at first person comes to mind Zee. But guess what, he ain't get in the ball either, So so you think he would have gon vounce for Mark Cooper to get the ball. He didn't get it, So now I don't I don't

think that conversation has happened. That's something that needs to happen from the head coach down to killing and then be passed on down back to say, hey, like, this is what we need to do because we saw it happen, Like we know that somebody had to get in this ear the game that Mark Cooper got forcepid to say, hey man, give this guy the ball. So Tyrant Smith respected player, Zach Martin respected player. Can they say something

them offensive lineman? They can say something as far as probably running the ball, possibly like hey man, hey, we want to get down here, want we want them all these guys, We want to set the tone. We want to show them how physical we are. Let let us spend. They can say something like that down they're I don't think they're gonna want into the dock and be like,

hey bro throw the bottom nineteen. You're old lineman, Like I said this, whoever said it to him last time needs to say it to him again and it needs to be reiterated. I don't know if he's a cowboy fan, but you know who could talk to day Draymond Green that like Draymond Green, but actually Draymond can you call it that? Draymond's wants some championships. Draymonds lost the championship. I mean, somebody who could just sit up here and keep it real, just get into Dak's ear and just

said feed nineteen. And they say that Draymond may be the reason that Kevin Durant got up out of Golden State. Okay, so no, Draymond, don't call here, all right, you stay up, done and you stay up? Then is it? Michael Arton, Michael Irvan had said enough. I'm saying they see him every Friday. On first day, he said enough, throw them in the ball. We just haven't been able to figure out how to do it. Maybe maybe because we know this is how Mike McCarthy and this team has worked

since since he's been here. Playing it close to the chests. We're playing it closer to So this is this is gonna happen when we get into the playoffs. Everything that we're saying, they like we've been we've been holding this, we've been holding We're gonna We're gonna flip the script on whoever, on whatever defense we're playing, and it's gonna be a totally different game plan. And that's how we're gonna win the win the Super bowl. I feel like

you just said Michael Irvin's voice has been tuned out. Hey, listen, when you're in the locker room and don't matter it don't matter who is speaking, you try to block out the outside noise, including the players lounge. Right, So we just here talking amongst ourselves. They don't care about what we're talking about. That and that's obvious solely. I think they probably as far as when you're trying to tell somebody to throw the ball here or run the ball

if it's Michael Irving, they still tuning it out. They're focusing on the task in hand and the people that's in the locker room, as they should. All Right, Tom, an excuse was offered for a player who's had a mediocre season. Should we buy the excuse? So let's dive into that next. He is Danny McCray.

Um, we got excuses coming up. You you know, my my, um my disappointment in the kicker, right, you know that Greg's aline to me has not had a good year. I feel like Greg's rline is um an issue. I think the Tampa game he lost just four points out there.

The Vegas Thanksgiving Day game, he lost four points left out there. And this pass game you lose by three. Guy left three points out there. Forty three yard kick indoors in your place. You got to make that true. You gotta make that. So John Fossil spoke to the media yesterday and this is what he had to say about his kicker. It's probably gonna be like the Tampa you know, had a couple of misses and then he

comes back and he hits some game winners. Part of this, too, is a product of he had the surgery in May, so he missed a lot of spring and summer when he when he usually kind of finds that sweet spot training camp was getting was getting his leg back to be able to swing, and so in a little bit of fairness to him, he spent quite a bit of time during the season doing what he normally do during the summer, still trying to find that thing. He's going to find it. He's going to find it, mark my word.

If not put it on me, it's up the summer. The summer is what June, it's June, all of June, right, because you ain't doing nothing in July and then August. All right, so even if you add that September. I told her you were still missing kicks in November. At the end, Tom, I'm confused. I don't I don't understand. It's a horrible excuse, man, listen, Just just say, man, he's just not kicking. Well, you don't have to give

us a reason for no excuse. Hey, man, listen, he's having one of those seasons where it's been up and down. But I believe that he's going to catch you on and he's gonna get hot. Like just say that, not like you know you you the coach, you brought him in. Yeah, were gonna put it on you? Duh, duh. He who else We're gonna put it on? We asked, and he gave us his answer. He rationalized it by trying to say he's been hurt. And to that, I say, Okay, put his butt on ir and go find someone else.

If he can't do the job, if he's not one percent, don't send him out there. I'm sorry. You can try and tell me. You may think he's eighty percent of him is better than a hunt other people's a hundred percent. But clearly it hasn't been and it's cost you football games. And if this dude wasn't right, especially the first game, man, you shouldn't. You did your team a disservice by sending him out there. Okay, if you knew this dude, what legit? And he was not good in that first Tampa Bay game.

That's damning to me because if he can't go, he can't go. Man, don't put him out there. Listen. I'm he's not getting any more of an excuse or mulligan then Dak did when he went through his slump. All right, This is why I appreciate that I ain't hurt. I don't know what slump y'all talking about. Man, We're gonna get it right, all right. Stuff stuff just ain't happening how we how we expect it to happen. But we're gonna, we're gonna figure out a way to get on track,

all right, just go that route whatever. Dak has more reason to blame something on injury than our kicker. Greggs are lie all right. He at the season ended surgery last year. He comes back, he got tender nightis whatever you got in the muscle during training camp. He has a calf injury. Dak has not mentioned that, you know, wils ain't mentioned that Jerry H. McCarthy killing. They ain't

mention that. Hey man, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna worry about what we're doing to here, and y'all worried about putting out whatever y'all want to put out, not not not not my man bones fossil, Hey man, And I understand that you gotta take up for your guy, all right, you gotta take up on him. But let's just just ease off with this excuse. Is my brother a he man, Hey, he gonna get hot. I got

faith in him. He gonna kick us. If you say this, hey, if the game is on the line, this was If the game is on the line and he's he's the guy who's kicking for us to go to the Super Bowl. I have the ultimate faith that when that time comes, he is going to make the kick, and I'll and I'll stand on that and live by it and die by That's how you take up for your player. Not ay Man. He's been hurt. He probably hurt. He probably hurt. That's that's probably what's wrong with him. If I'm guessing,

And if he ain't hurt, then just put it on me. Nah, bro, it's May's when he had the surgery. May so January second. Your boy's not right and you're still running him out there. He right, Bro, he just missing people missing. But we like what happens to that. You can't just miss a kid. You can't just miss a throw. You can't just you can't just miss the cut. There's something gotta be wrong with you. I'll give Fossil this believable. I will believe

him from this standpoint. And you can speak to this because you play Okay, Maybe he's not one hundred percent. Hey had the surgery. May try to get back here and play was never one hundred percent all year loan. Maybe that's the case that can happen, But don't send him out there. Don't say this isn't Tank Lawrence, this isn't Amari Cooper. This is a kicker, dude. If he can't kick it right, get him, get him out. And the earlier he did this, you could have found someone.

And so you're not sitting around here in January watching this dude still hook kicks to the left. Has he attempted a sixty yarder this year? Yeah, it's no way that you can tell me that. You believe that he is still recovering from a surgery in May and you have the confidence to put him out there to kick a sixty yarder, Like if you know you got to hurt Chris, look that up for you know, if you got a hurt kicker, what you're gonna do is you're gonna say, hey, man, this might be out of his range.

Right now, I'm looking out for my guy. I'm not gonna put him out there in a position to kick a sixty yard or let's punt it. Let's figure out something else we could do. But if you roll him out there to kick his deepest kicks, then you believe he's healthy enough to make them kicks. Okay, that's that's your mindset, because if you're not then you you're not doing that. You're going for two when you when you got extra points. You're figuring out a way to take

some stuff off the kicker. We ain't done that. I don't remember us doing that at all. Greaduly, Yeah, I know he kicked the fifty nine yards. I know that for sure. So what my point is, he's healthy enough for the coaches to believe that he can make a kick that far. He's healthy enough to be out there kicking. All right. Sometimes you just miss kickers. Go through that, man, Dan Bailey go through that. Even Justin Tucker missed a couple I want to say last year where we was like, oh,

Justin Tucker never miss kicks. People are miss kicks. Yeah, I don't know. I don't I don't know anybody that's one hundred percent the dude having one of them years. All right, he might be a little rusty, but hey man, we are going to depend on you. We're gonna stick by you to kick us to the super Bowl. That's it. So we're talking about a whole lot of people will need to show him prow something on Sunday or to say,

Saturday night as the Cowboys face Philadelphia. I think he's right there as much as you're looking at Dak Prescott to say, you know, hey man, you need to get this thing turned around. Show us, you know, show us you're on the uptick here. Greg's earline to me is right there. You need kicks and field goals. Man, there's needs to be some because right now, when the Cowboys score touchdown, I don't go anywhere. You're gonna get up to get a drink. You don't turn around and talk

to anybody. No, your question again about sixty yards? How many's he kicked this year? I don't know how many he's kicked this year. His longest this year was fifty six. Fifty six, his longest make. Yes, I'll look into how many kicks. That's uh sixty, that's a long attempt. That's a long make. And when he hit when he hit that kick, the assumption is he was healthy. He was good to go. Is that not right? He played a

good game. Will you come when you come out some weeks and we were like, hey man, great to let he he asked him. He had a good game. He showed up. This is what we expected when we sign. He's come out and had those games, So the same the same way we said hey bro, you did good, it's the same way we're gonna say, hey man, come on. I don't want to hear them about no surgery. Okay, last week you was fine, all right. This week you just ended up missing miss missing a couple and it

costs us in the game. But that's the league, that is the that is the This is a competition. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Sometimes you make up, sometimes you don't. But the excuse part of it is like, bro, come on, and he didn't make the excuse. So I'm

not I'm not getting on great to leave. I'm just saying the coach is trying to take up for him and then going back in history and saying, this is what he usually is able to do it this time, but he hasn't been able to because of the surgery. I just don't have confidence. I don't right now, and come playoff time, how can you? How can you have

confidence him right now? The playoffs? Listen, if if we're at home, this is this is that Homer, this is that that bias type thing, because I've seen him make fifty six and I've seen him be able to do it and he's literally all we have. I have confidence that when it when it comes down to it, he's going to be able to make the kick if it comes down to it. But what I do know is that they're gonna try everything they can to make sure that they get that ball in the end zone versus

having to settle for a kick. So when you have that that time at the end of the game where it's like, hey, should we try we try to get this thing in the end zone or should we should we run the clock out so we can so we can kick this thing to do like h Cincinnati did against Kansas City Chokes last week. I want to put it to you, you were here for Dan Bailey, Craig. I was in for Dan bag okay, and you were

a special teams guy. The juice and the confidence you had when when he walked out there, I called him Golden total. Me and Dan we had our little thing go, hey, we know you good. I turn I'll be walking into in the locker room before Dan Bailey before they even snapped the ball. Because Dan Bailey was that automatic type of guy, which at one point Zerline was that type of guy. And I think that's what bones is looking for and hopefully he's that type of guy in the player.

We're gonna call him playoff Greg the league like they gave play off Landy. He's gonna be playoff grade playoff Pete. No No, that's no playoff grade playoff z no no plus this year, Newy fifty plus this year. That's all I have, right, i'n't looked into sixty plus. Listen, I know he attempted sixty two or five this year. Listen. The fact that he attempted five from fifty plus lets me know that they believe he's healthy enough to make them kicks. Okay, all right, um prediction time. Cowboys played

tomorrow against the Philippi Eagles. Cowboys a favorite. We'll do that next. I'm mean rescriss, he's Danny mccrais. Players. Not about you by Hotels dot com. I'm on Dallas Cowboys dot com radio.

Time here, let's make sure we get into that Philadelphia. Yeah, man, let me write so so I'm gonna read it just how he typed it too. All right, So Barry, if you watching, you know, text me let me know if I did this right.

You're ready. Thirty one twenty one Dallas. A whole bunch of exclamation points. So thirty one twenty one Dallas. Okay, back in the offense feast on a bunch of backups, defense gets how many takeaways? Dose? Two takeaways by the defense? Okay, what you got? I am going to only allow Philadelphia

to seventeen, but our offense we'll score thirty five. I think that we find a way to punish these guys and we do get two takeaways, and I think we score one on defense just based off how our defense feel like they feels like they played last week, because I know they feel like they let us down. So I know they're gonna try to Horus to go out there and score on defense. And this is gonna be one of those games, kind of like Washington, where we try to get back on track and try to prove

that we're ready to go into the playoffs. So I'm saying thirty five seventeen, I don't feel good at all about this movie. I don't feel good at all right now. I want to pick Philly. That's what I want to do. I want to pick Philly. So wait, out of all weeks for you to pick the other team. You had Kansas City week, you had Arizona week. You want to pick Philly. This week is Zay when Hurst playing? Yeah, you think he gonna play the whole game. Um, I'm

going to go Cowboys twenty four twenty one. Offense don't get back on track all right, defense plays well enough, only gives up with three scores. I don't I don't feel I don't feel how you feel. I'll just say that I just you know what, I listened to a whole lot of what you said. Hey, man just can't turn his running game on all of a sudden either. You got it, and you've used it all year long. You're not. Um, I don't think Philly is one of the teams that you need to have a running game.

I think we've seen that earlier this season where I think we could toss the ball away road game. Yeff No, they still don't like you. Their fans are gonna come out there ready for you. I don't have a good feeling about this game, and said I would. I I want to pick Philly, but I'm just gonna go twenty four seventeen twenty one, cowboy, Go with your gut. Go with your gut, nah, because when you get back up in Hire on Monday, I don't want to hear you say,

man I knew it. Don't we trying to head your bet? Bro, pick the one that you want to go with, because you got to stick with it on Monday. We can't come in here and say, man, I should have went. I knew I should have win, and I said it. I said it, but I didn't do it. So are you sticking with that one? Because we don't want to hear it on Monday? Your pick is your pick. I wrote it down. Get off the fence, bro, because I wrote it down. I wrote it down. Are you sticking

with your pick? That's what I wrote, all right, so if minus the rest of that stuff I want to pick, you gotta take that out. You you picked that US twenty four twenty one, all right, you know who I picked, dan Quinn because what we didn't mention was he said he's having fun here. That's why he's not doing that any of you with Jacksonville. So you know what mention is, Jacksonville's a really bad job, and if you're going to take another job, that ain't the one to go take.

What I'm saying was outside of saying that, what he said was how much fun he's having? Shoot where he shot. You know, he didn't have to say that. He didn't have to say he ain't the right Usually what they say it ain't the right time. I'm focused on what I have to do moving forward for this season, he said. I mean, I'm having a blast head Dallas, and you know, why would I want to think about doing anything else. And I also taken into this, it's gonna take for him.

I need a good opportunity to leave here because when I have here is good. Jacksonville is not good, and you and I both know it. Okay, that's just a bad situation here that needs a whole lot. And I think you know, you go out of the draft and

get your receiver or something. You got. You got, you got a guy who you think is a generational, generational talent, and Trevor Lawrence, you got James Robinson and etno who you will have at that point because James Robinson to be I believe his last year of his undrafted free agent deal, ETN first round pick that you got last year coming off of foot surgery. You have weapons. Go out there and get you a receiver to be your

staple and figure out what you're gonna do. Dad Quinn has been able to rejuvenate this defense, so I'm sure he can figure out a way to make something work in Jacksonville. Actually, let me stop saying this. Damn, you're not listening to this, are you? You didn't listen to this? Okay, stay stay up, Stay up in detail. But we love you out here in Frisco. We love you in Frisco. Texas are all into Texas. Love you, Dallas, Texas, love you. Stay here. Now. Just looking at I think we'll see

a total at least four jobs open. Jacksonville is open already, Vegas is open. We're hoping our boy rich Beside gets it. Minnesota's gonna open up, Chicago shot open up four jobs of those four openings, which is the worst one. We know that, But we know that. But when you think about Vegas quarterback, who's your que The first thing you want to have when you get to a squad is, hey, man,

do I have a guy? Right? And if you believe that Trevor Lawrence is a generational talent like the people that picked them in with the first pick, then you got you gotta start piece. You also have a running back? Two of them? Well you got thunder lightning here. Now you got two up in Jacksonville. Okay. And I guess I'll say this in a league where if you get

a shot another one, it's probably the last one. And if I'm gonna go ahead and take a shot, use my last bullet, I won't use it coaching the Jacksonville Jaguars. If I'm den Quinn, I won't. I'd rather take it with the Bears or the Vikings. I mean, there's just there's just better places. He probably. I mean, think about it, who's the guy on defense for the Bears? Got Robert Quinn? You got Clill Mac, I mean something two young linebackers, but overall too with the Bears, there is a very

They've been very patient with some really sorry coaches. I mean, well you've been there, but you also unsure about your quarterback in Chicago as well. When you're looking at it from here and you're saying, hey, man, the destinations I'm going to I'm looking at what what can justice like for what they what these coaches have put them through, and what you've seen on film, you're not one that

this is your guy. You could potentially, honestly, if you think about it, he could end up being the second best quarterback in the division going in the next year. Could be, could be because or could not be. Comedy, Look the fans in Minnesota, what Kirk Cousin's gone. But I'll guarantee you that. Yeah, but he's guaranteed like forty meals and I don't see him. But but A Roder's probably gone. You know, he's got the option to go. He all over the place. Right now. We have no

idea what an Rodgers is gonna do. But I said potentially, potentially, so you can end up with with Justin Field because they got Jared goffin Detroit. Justin Bields could say he could he could in the next year the second best quarter, the second best. You could be the second best or the third best in your in your in your division. So no, there's not no, no, no second. I say he could be, he could be. He could also be

the third best in the division as well. Sure, I'm just saying, listen, listen, Let's let's just say Chicago is an option. Okay, let's let's let's do this. Okay, so we got Okay, we still out four minutes. Okay, well, this is what I believe. So we did our picks for the Cowboys. And this is a game where no matter what happens, Uh, we're going to the playoffs, all right,

we're gonna play blah blah blah. There's a team who has to win to make the playoffs, and that is the Los Angeles Chargers, all right, and they're playing our boy Rich Besachia up there in Las Vegas. Now, if Vegas beats La there is no playoffs for Justin Herbert. We're having this discussion all year with Barry there. There are no playoffs for that guy, all right. And the Las Vegas Raiders will be going to the playoffs. Correct. I don't want to hear any other I don't want

no more talk, no more talk from anybody. If Justin Herbert does not take his team to the playoffs, nothing, Barry nothing. I don't want to hear anything. And I know you picked the La Chargers to win this week and you're not here, So I'm telling you right now, I'm picking them to lose, all right. I'm picking Derek car to go out there, carver up Justin her and carve his way into the playoffs and help our guy Rich build a case for being the next head coach

at the Fort. The Las Vegas Raiders home game for the Raiders so should be packed. Derek Carton needs this, okay, Derek Carton needs He wants to stay in Vegas, wants to remain a Raider, for like, this is how you do it. These are the kind of games you have to win. And obviously we know Rich needs to solidify himself not just for this job, but for other openings as well. I mean, if you're Minnesota, in Chicago and

even Jacksonville, you'd be a fool not to interview Rich. Besiachi, there's so much substance there with him and what he's been able to do with this organization at all the hits they've taken here from the head coach to receive a killing a player and you know you have issues. Man just had another guy involved with du why so so I think rich has handled a very very tough situation here and I think they win the game. And I think the Raider players, with everything that's happened, you

got an opportunity. Can't blow this one. You simply can't. This is this is the kind of opportunity that guys you're at home, you'll have your fan base. This is the first one you can get for the city of Vegas. There's no way in the world you blow this opportunity. And I think Justin Herbet's a fantastic quarterback. He's not been in Drew Burrow, absolutely not, but he's a good quarterback. And they're both really, really good. But I just think the Raiders get this done all right. Last thing, who

do you want to play? First round? Who is your Who is who is the best option for us to make it to the second round of the playoffs, Not based on scenarios, just looking at the squads who are in the playoffs. Who is the best option for us to make it to the second round. Here's a I think it's Arizona. I think it's the Los Angeles Rams. I think the quarterback play from Arizona versus the quarterback play from what they're getting in from the Rams right now.

I'd rather have Matthew Stafford coming here to play against us. All right, we can go to so far. I would rather have Stafford then Kylin Murray. Kylin Murray super versatile as a different dimension to the ring game, which makes it a little bit more difficult to play. I understand your position all day long. Matthew Stafford in the playoffs, what does he do? Okay, that's legitimate versus Kyler Murray never lost eighteen to I see your point there as well.

Defense versus defense, I can. I'm not gonna argue with your points. And you crazy, You're not crazy, You're not, You're not. I would just like to think that, having faced Arizona and lost a winnable game, a game you should have won, that they would go out and never rematch and get it done. Yeah, Stafford, but come on, baby, come on, it's gonna be a defensive game, their defense versus our defense, because if our offense doesn't show up, we what we know is Matthew Stafford might not show

up either. So there are si scenarios and which that could happen. By the way, okay, there are six scenarios in which that were happening, and all of those scenario eos, the number one thing has to happen. San Francisco's gotta win, which I think they will, and Arizona's gotta win over Seattle. So no, we need Seattle to We need Seattle to be Arizona. We need the forty nine ers to beat the Rams, and we need Tampa to lose, and we

need a lot of other stuff. So I don't want to I only want the scenarios that put us in the number two seats. Okay, all right, so you're still holding on that absolutely, I'm holding on two until Sunday night. Okay, there's only two. No, I'm I'm hold Sunday night. I'm holding on to the day. You need a lot, that's okay. You gotta Tampa gotta lose, the Rams, gotta lose, Arizona gotta lose. That's fine, that's cool. I'm all right with that. Okay,

Happy Friday, y'all, Happy Friday, Happy Friday. Make shots come to the bottom of the the hour. He's Danny kram New, We scrugg We appreciate you. We will talk to you on Monday as the Cowboys get ready for the playoffs, and we'll know who the ell things talk to you then.
