Speaker 1 (00:02):
The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is the Players Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys
World headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts Barry Church,
heckma Harrison, and new he Scrugs.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Victory Monday, coming at you from the Star. It is
the SWC Podcast Studios. It is the Players Lounge, brought
to you by Aristocrat Gaming former Cowboys safety Barry Church.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yes, Sir, Heck Maharrison is.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Here, I am new he Scrugs and the Cowboys pull
off a thirty four to twenty six victory in the
Nation's capital at Bedexfield. The Cowboys with an incredible fourth quarter.
Brad Sham once said that the great Eric Nadel, who's
a Hall of Famer for the Texas Rangers, said, you
always want to come to the ballpark because you may
(01:03):
never know when you see something you've never seen before. Gentlemen,
had you ever seen a fourth quarter or a Cowboy
game like that?
Speaker 5 (01:10):
He No, No, I've never been a part of anything
like that. I've never seen a game so back and
forth like that. And I'm telling you, from the first quarter,
I was were texting back and forth like this is bad, sloppy.
It was sloppy on both sides.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And I think we came in.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
We had the Commanders up on a pedestal, you know, defensively,
offensively Jaydon Daniels, you know, Rookie of the Year before
you caven given the trophy. But either way, he just
all the different things that you were seeing from them.
You anticipated this game being a get right game for
the Commanders and they will come out motivated to show
that weapons, show the defense.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You know, we were kind of scared for Cooper Rush. Yeah,
I was.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
You know, the offensive line, who who you got, Who's
gonna protect them? And then all of setting the game changed.
It got to the point where you needed to make plays,
and guys like Ceedee Lamb, no matter how we felt
about him, we talked about him, Ceedee Lamb made some
plays when it counted that they needed and Cooper Rush
(02:16):
may have threw him, threw him into a couple of headaches,
but he still came down with the ball. And man,
I got a word for my man for Kittle Kelsey,
you better hurry up and get back. You better hurry
up and get back because scoolmaker had himself one hell
of a game. But I had never knew I had
never seen anything like that, man. And and that fourth
(02:38):
quarter was probably as wild the fourth quarter as I've
ever seen.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Go ahead, I was gonna say the and I'm sure
you all had to say the text on my phone
from Turpin with the touchdown to McLaurin touchdown to the
mixed the extra point to one year Thomas Society.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I don't care. I'm going to go school that man.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
He gonna call it, He's gonna call himself.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Man, is an opportunity for thirty to get the rock?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Give it to me, right.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's just so very clear, like you know this, this
is not the best thing to do. Scoring is good
for you, he's not really good for anyone else.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Call your sock.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Remember what we said last I'll do it again. Yeah,
you better believe I'm but do it again.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I'll do it again. But but that was it was
just interesting to see. And I'm sure you're phones the same.
If you go back and look at the time stamps
of when it all happened from it was it was,
it was, it was.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
It was wild. It was very wild.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
No, I was a nut.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
It was it was a crazy, crazy game overall, sloppy, gritty,
whatever you want to call it. I mean, that was
the type of a game that usually the Cowboys will
find a way, at least this season, will find a
way to lose, lose somehow, some way, they will find
a way to lose that game.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
But they didn't in this situation. The fourth quarter was bananas.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I think, going in a halftime, what was it like
nine to three or three to three or something.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Crazy like that, and to have a point explosion like that,
it's nuts.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's nuts.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
But to me, you know, I want to give some
flowers of some praise to my guy Zimmer over there,
all right, because you know, as much as I beat
up on him on this show and the defense, Oh
why would you do this?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Why would you do that? I got a call like
I see it.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
The man had a phenomenal game plan for that offense
that on Friday, Me, you and Jesse talked about it.
I was like, man, how they gonna handle Eckler, How
they gonna handle scary Terry mccormth Robinson. You got Daniels
being able to scramble all over the place. He's man,
They're gonna go crazy on the Cowboys. And what he
did was he switched up that defense. He crowded the
(04:38):
line of scrimmage pretty much each in every down, not
just like bringing a guy into the box. He made
it look like they were blitzing all out each and
every down. And what they would do was they would
force Ekler to come up there and take a block
so you couldn't just leak out in the backfield.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And get those late catches and get those yards.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Then they would play man the man and shout out
to Bland being back out there.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
You know what he brings to the table.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
But a guy that's stepped up and had a wonderful
game was Butler. I mean, the undrafted kid, number thirty one.
He went out there and did this thing. Man, you're
talking about ten tackles, three pass breakups, thrown into the
lineup because you know, Diggs wasn't able to travel, so
he was like, man, throw me in it. I'm gonna
step up. He had his opportunities at at McLaurin. Did
his job out there. Like I said earlier, three pass
(05:20):
breakups and a lot of guys.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Just stepping up and playing well. I mean it was gritty.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Offensive line was able to keep you know, Cooper Rush
pretty much protected throughout the game, which was a surprise
to me. It was a surprise to me, but they
were able to do that. Cooper Rush didn't turn the
football over and finally finally said our guy, big mic man,
look like I called side. Hey, I call like I
see it earlier in the season. I'm like, you know,
(05:46):
play call has been terrible. But this game, man, he
did his thing. He came with a balanced attack, he
had balanced attack and looked how much better this offense
looked throughout this game? They had a fighting chance throughout
the entire game. Of course Turpin showed up and did
his thing. But you know, how to get some flowers
to a couple people because you know, I talk a
lot of got a lot of noise when when they
don't go the right way.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So no, I mean, I.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Want to make sure that I give flowers to Josh Butler,
Josh Butler from West Mosquite High School.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Man, his story is so inspiring.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
If you don't know about Josh Butler, it goes beyond football.
What this young man has had to overcome. He lost,
he lost, he lost two of his parents while he
was in college. I mean, and that's that's one of
those things that obviously as a young man he could
have tanked it. He could have tanked his whole career.
He has so much character as a young man and
during those COVID years and the way that he took
(06:38):
care of his business. If you follow him, if you
follow him on social media, it's all about his two
pit bulls. He has two pit bulls that are like
his kids basically. But he's an inspiration. He's a guy
that never quit on himself, never quit on his career
and making the Cowboys roster and being called up from
the practice squad and being able to do this.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
This is a testament to guy's.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Maximiz saying opportunities when it finally meets it, and that's
the thing about, you know, being prepared for opportunity. And
that's a guy that when his number was called, he
came in and he did that. I know a lot
of people was making fun of him on that run
last week where he missed the tackle and it was like, yea,
he didn't, didn't any waver never blinked and came right back,
man and had one hell of a game when you
(07:21):
needed it. But we got to say something about Drun
Bland at some point, you know.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Go ahead, I mean, go ahead the day to just
just keep keeping here.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Here's the thing, this is a guy, even with a
foot injury, his reputation is still intact.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You see that. You can see that. Hey, I'm telling
you what Jaydeon Daniels wasn't doing.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
If Drun Blad was over here, he was like, Hey.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I'm not You're not about to go to the store
on me.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
So stay stay with that point right there. Jane Daniels
is a rookie.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
It's not like Jade Daniels to able look at any
film this year Dron Bland. That means Dan Quinn and
Joe Whitt and Cliff Kings. Yeah, yeah, don't do that,
don't We got advice for young and don't don't do that.
Give credit to Bland for taking the time he needed
to make sure he was right to get back. I mean, Barry,
(08:18):
you understand that as a former player, sometimes guys will
push it a little bit just trying to get back.
But we thought Blam was going to come back to
the Detroit game because that's what Stephen Jones had said.
One of the Jones' is sitting the radio there. But
he came back at the right time and he performed
at the level that made me say yeah, yeah, that guy.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
And that's that's what it all comes down to, making
sure you understand your body and making sure you go
out there at the right time because a lot of
cats will go out there not ready and go out
there and put out bad tape. And then when you
come back around for that contract or whatever the case
may be, off season, talk about how you played during
the season. There's no oh, I fought through injury and
I did everything for this team. I came back, there's
(08:57):
none of that's okay, Well, here's your numbers and here's
your staff. You can go over there and say, man,
I was dealing with a pooled hamstring.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I was dealing with.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
A threw it for you guys, I fuck threw it. Man,
I ain't gonna hear none of that's a production.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I'm like that for the city.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
These are the stats right here. Your productions right here
is not where you need to be. So kudos to
him for for making sure he was right before getting
back in its good.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
He was, he was good.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Heck, I mean, it was just bottom line, you just
looked at that game, and you just said, man, this
Sky is a player, and and and the other portion
of it to me, hit is yeah, you gotta pay.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
You know, you have to name like a Parsons. You
got to pay the.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Tool that's a that's a lot of ducats on that
in the corners for this. You gotta figure it out.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
But I gotta figure But I'll say this, and you
tell me if you disagree. I'll pay for corners in
this league.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
That's fact.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I'll pay for corners in this league knowing that what
you got in Philadelphia between the receivers and their quarterback
and now that running back, because with the running back
you gotta go ahead and stop to run first.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
So that needs you go let some guys on some islands.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
If you can get a healthy Digs and a healthy
bland together, I'll pay those two guys. I've got to
believe at some point the Giants may figure something out,
because they do have one receiver there who can be
a problem. We know what Washington's got here. I'll pay
for blanding Digs back there. I'll have to figure out.
I'll need Mazie to do something more.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Hey, look, it's a lot of man that no, I
agree cutting the corner of his eyes. And I'm just
(10:46):
saying at some point time.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
But but literally, from the standpoint of this is where
you're gonna have to hit on those draft picks in
order for you to pay those guys, means you need
other players to start to develop you feeling that I'm
not a look at some point in time, you want
Mozzi has to be a part of a rotation, a
rotation of something and some other folks. I mean you
(11:08):
need some You got you got four years on You
could decline the fifth year if you want you but so.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
You have to You got years three and four coming up. Okay,
got years three.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
And and and you're correct at this point in time.
But I would pay those two guys. You saw what
happened yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
With black right, he did his ding man, he did
his day.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
But that won't so if I'm paying people from paying people, we.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Ain't talking about like you know, one guy's getting you know,
third highest in the corner and the other guys.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Maybe getting fifteen.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Blain gonna want them ducats Man.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
He.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Deserved so deservedly so, but also I think defensively, guys
like Chauncey Golston. Guys like Chauncey Golston, who are those
rotational pieces that you're talking about. They're not there. They're
not starters by ay. They're a guy that's gonna be
a piece that and maybe another. I don't want to
just call him just another guy, but you need him
as a rotational piece. You need him as a guy
(12:06):
that could come in and spell some of your you know,
a tank when Tank is playing Sam Williams, when Sam
Williams is playing, he fits in nicely. Even guys like
Joseph I mean, come on, you needed the plays to
be made.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Watkins, Colos, Watkins upfront.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Guys are making plays when they need to upfront, and
they did that. This was a running game that you
thought obviously. I believe that Cliff Kingsburg had enough sense
to come into this game and say, look, I'm not
going to abandon the run by any means. I'm going
to continue to try and drive the because I know
what they can't stop. And he came out with it
(12:42):
with a game plan in the run. Look, guys, you
know I call high school football, I call college football,
and I see the Reid option Friday and Saturday, but
when I see it in the pros, I'm like, what
what are you doing? You know, I don't know what
Jayson Dangils whatever, he's gonna come in this league, but
if you're trying to use him like you see these guys,
(13:04):
and I mean nine times out of ten, a five
technique in the NFL is gonna blow your quarterback up,
and you're gonna have to have better design runs for
him than the read option. And I understand that somehow
the college game has infused itself into the pro game,
but I don't like seeing that, you know, and I
don't like seeing it, especially when I'm looking at Michah
(13:25):
and I'm saying, Micah's gonna figure this out. Michaeh has
to figure it out because teams are optioning off of him,
and you saw that yesterday. If they're making it, you
have to make a decision on either on that running
back to come down a line of scrimmage or you
have to go out on this quarterback. And you saw
in that one touchdown that Jaydon Daniels had where one
of your Tomas didn't get to the outside of it
all contained Like, those are just the little things that
(13:47):
if you have a cornerback that's smart enough to hold
that contained. Your quarterback's not going anywhere, and you're putting
him at risk when you continue to run the ball.
Like when you look at the ground game for the Commanders, Yeah,
they had one hundred and forty five yards rushing, but
a lot of that was towards the fourth quarter, thirdle
and Devil's Daniels all everything else is covering.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, let me break in tain, let me.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Like they did a phenomenal job on this, this Commander's
rushing attack.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
And then you look at.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Last Yeah, you right about that. You can scary Terry,
even scary Terry mccorn out there.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
He had over one.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Hundred but eighty six one place. How the heck does
that happen? Wait a second, watching, let's let's take a break.
Take a break because this is.
Speaker 3 (14:34):

That is heck Maherrison, Thank you for the reads. Players
line is brought to you by Aristocrat Gaming. Barry Church
is your former Dallas Cowboys safety of newest scrudgery capping
is thirty four to twenty six wins.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Been forty nine days since.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
The Cowboys last couple wins, but hey, who cares?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You got it done?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
It was it was, you know, it was just it
was nice to talk about a win for a change.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Here.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
The Cowboys did not make it easy.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
So with two forty nine to go in the game,
Cavante Turpin after zach Ertz makes a touchdown catch and
they get two point conversion to make it twenty to
seventeen with a ninety nine yard kickoff return, now ten
point game like it's good, it's good. But with one
and then with one forty to go they kicked the
Washington kicks the field goal. So now it's twenty seven
(18:14):
to twenty. Washington gets the ball again. It's twenty one
seconds left in the game. Twenty one seconds up the game.
Jay Daniels his Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
And walk the dog, that Swiss cheesey.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
What happened was so Barry Church, can you explain one
man's just.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Cutting past everybody for eighty six yard.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Tests And you know it was not McCarthy. It was
my old coach, Rob Mary Nelly.
Speaker 10 (18:42):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
He would have I mean he might.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Have stormed on the field thrown stuff if he would
have saw that.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Because what the difference was, and how McLaurin was able
to get all the way through up the sidelines for
the touchdown.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
It's a bunch of loafs.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
It was guys thinking, Oh, that guy's gonna make the play.
Oh he's gonna walk out of bounds. Now they got
the angle. I'm all right, Oh snap, did you see
him starting to gas it up? Oh he's a better
at time, It's too late, he's gone. If you see
it when he caught the ball. I wish we had
like a picture of video or something of everybody. There's
mad guys just jogging like somebody else get him out
or somebody somebody push him out of bounds, make the play.
Speaker 11 (19:15):
And then when he started turning on the gas up
the sidelines, it's a little bit too late.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
And that's what it is. That's an effort play right there. Yeah,
he's gonna get to catch, all right. You can concede
the catch, push him out of bounds, live to fight
another day. But when you think that next guy over
there is gonna make the play, or that guy has
the angle, so I'm all right, I don't need to
chase him down from the back. I'm gonna save my
strength for the next rep. That's when defenses get exposed.
And you saw right there and there it was just
a bunch of lows, bad angles. I forget the guy
(19:41):
who was at the top, he was battling with the block.
He should have went over top and forced McLaren to
cut back in.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Nobody was there.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
There was no contain on the second level for this defense.
And you saw exactly what the playmaker is able to
do when he has gas like McLaurin. I mean the sideline,
he's gone. That's why it's it's it's coach talk, and
I've been accused of it and I've done it myself.
I've loathed on plenty of plays out there. But that's
why I said, you got to give you a hundred
percent infort no matter what time it is on the
(20:07):
football field, because anything can happen. And that's exactly what happens.
There's a bunch of loafs. It all compounded in the
one and clombs up the sidelines for the touchdown.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, the skuy dontline.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
And it is going to be an indictment on a
lot of guys in that effort that they put in
right there, especially at the end of the game, and
especially what you know, what's at staked. All you got
to do is get a stop. And it's called situational
awareness some another. So get him down, get him down.
If anything, he's not gonna walk this thing because it's
eight of us back here, you know, and there's no
(20:38):
way that we're gonna allow a play of eighty six yards.
But that's the kind of season that the Cowboys have
been having. You know, if you get it I'll just wait,
let you hand you got it. You got got it,
you know, I'll take you know, and if guy's not
taking the accountability. And that's the one thing that has
just been maddening this entire season. It got to the
point where you're you can almost set a you know,
(20:59):
you by it's about time for us to get another penalty.
You know, when the flag goes down, it's like, no,
that's it was time for another one, you know, the
holding penalty.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We already know who is on lining up outside. We
already know that we got it, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
I mean even though it was probably one of those
games I didn't even look at this. I don't think
that the Cowboys were like historically penalized in this game.
But when the penalties came down, you k dow who
the usual suspect was gonna be when it came down
to those penalties, and it's it's that's what's maddening.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
That's the thing that's upsetting. But look, you pulled it out.
It was a gutsy performance.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
They didn't allow the bad players to overcome the plays
that they needed to make. I said it on Thursday
when we were sitting here, I was like look, if
the Cowboys win this game, it's going to be a
team win. This was a team win because it took
all three phases to pull this victory out.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Rush Cooper Rush.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Absolutely needs a pat on the back hand that man
of Beer, because because he in spite of all of
the doubt that's around the quarterback position at times, especially
on this losing streak, you needed him to have this
kind of performance. He made throws when he needed to write.
I don't know what the whole I know we whatever
(22:26):
the package is for him roller right, Rush is tulpur
turp is right now, Lamb. Like going on long drives,
you get to the gola, Lance does nothing. Let's bring
Cooper Rushing back in at the rhythms off. I don't
(22:49):
know who that's on. I don't know who, and I
won't say I'm just I'm just saying, there's certain things
that happened that you go come on now.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I know Mike didn't.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
There's no way that Mike looked at that whole entire
drive and said, you know what, this is a perfect time,
this is it, this is when I gotta do it.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And then it's just one player and you bring him out.
Speaker 10 (23:10):
To me.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's why.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
That's why I was like, what is Mike? What is
Mike thinking? That makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
So Trey Lance, the Trey Lance packages, which if Jerry
talked about on his radio show and Brian Schottenheimer spoke
about it as well. They unveiled the tray Lance package
inside the red zone.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
And didn't work.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
And so.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
That's when you're gonna get criticized when things don't work.
They tried if it works, good, but it didn't work.
So I mean, I'm kind of torn because we I know,
I talked about, all right, man, figure out what this
guy can do, and they did it. And maybe what
we're finding out is, hey, you made let's put that, put.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
That with that, put that away. You're fooling runlets like throwing.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
As a former safety, yes, you're sitting there. You've been
playing this entire game. You see the Cowboys get into
the red zone.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
You see.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Guiding go from his left tackle position all the way
to to overload. They're overloading the right size wrap. Even
if I'm playing in the middle of the field like
I'm supposed to be the last line of man, I'm up.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
I'm up in lying backer level because I know it
was about to have.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
You ain't throwing the football. You ain't get me a
balanced set. Everything is overloaded. I know exactly what's about
to happen. Hey, and come up there.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And and the tough part about that, And we saw
a lot of them yesterday with one yard runs. The
offensive line couldn't move them. And so uh, there's some
issues there about.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
The kind of team you have.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
So I won't I don't want to beat up the
thought process because I get the thought process.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
The execution just not there.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Part of it is.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Your old line is just not that good. And we've
talked about it before you've tried it. I mean, you'd
like to think, hey man, let's go over here. Oh
load that thing up, go get us a yard.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
I get it. You like to think you could do that.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You can't.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
But let's give some credit where credit is due to
this offensive line. Though you had to at the last
minute you realized how the Smith's not playing. You knew
that Zach Martin was going to be able to play,
but guys like TJ. Bass and brock Hoffman, they stepped
up sixty bully. It was a bully and he was
everything that you needed, even for the eighty nine yards
(25:30):
that Ricodado had. It was enough to create a balance
to your offense, and it was it was everything that
you needed to at least stonewall or freeze those linebackers
from just saying, oh, we're just gonna come out because
nobody's loading the box against the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Let's just be clear, right, And so.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Since they're not loading the box, play action has to
be significant. And when that play action was happening, they
were leaving things behind them wide open, or when they
were running you had guys LIKEJ.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
TJ.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Bass and brock of from getting to the second level
that made the job. I think for BB looked bad.
I mean, though he had some bad snaps in this game.
He has to correct that, but he didn't look as
bad as he looked in previous games. And you got
to get credit what credit is doing that situation.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
It showed doubt the guards. Not having two pro Bowl
guards there, they filled in admirably. They did their job,
but when we talk about some of the second ones
and third ones as a group as an offensive line group,
they didn't get them done. And that's something that it's
gonna be hard for you to try and end up
(26:36):
with a winning record. When you can't do things like that,
that's something that definitely has to be emphasized. But they
kept they kept at it, and the Cowboys were able
to run the ball enough to have an impact in
the game, and they those two guards definitely get a
lot of credit.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Give Awesome Richards credit because there are times.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
When they put twice they had to pull a Guytan
out of the game, and Richards came in there and
did well until he got hurt, and then they had
to put guy back out there in the game.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
And you you you're shaking your head a little bit.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I had somebody on social media try to defend guiding
to me and just, well, I think he's playing well.
I thought that if he's playing so well, why they
pull him out twice? I said, I'm not calling and this.
Somebody said, can you call him a bus I said, no,
you can't call him a bust. He's early in his career,
but he's had some games where he has been a
(27:25):
drive killer. And we saw it yesterday again, and I'm sorry,
lining up twice you get flagged from not lining up
twice some point in time. You're not getting it. You're
not getting it. Because they're gonna ward, They're gonna tell you.
And then of course you like check what good I mean?
You know, I could he's he's got he's got some
(27:48):
work to do. Not gonna call him a bus. Brad
Sham had mentioned on it in the in the radio broadcast,
and I was like, okay, hey, we're not crazy on
the players lounge when we talked about, hey, maybe he
ends up going back to right guard. Maybe maybe putting
him at left is too much right tackle I mean
right tackle, right tackle. Yes, I'm sorry, right time put
him at right tackle where he was in college. So uh,
(28:10):
there's gonna be some interesting conversations after the season about
where you go with him and reassessing what his rookie
year was and what you think he what you thought
he was gonna be right and and not not, hey
let's throw the guy. No, you're not gonna throw the
guy away. You draft him his first round pick. He's
gonna learn, probably have a different O line coach who
let's see exactly what kind of system you're running next
(28:30):
year as well. But yesterday was was was rough, and
that was one of the players that is you're watching
the game and other people I'm sure on your texting
what's he doing? And then when Richards went out, you
couldn't pull him out. I mean you couldn't put you know, you.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Had to put him back in.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
But down to the boats first round, awesome.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Richards is a is A is a guy.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Next she'll be very interested to see exactly what what
are they gonna allow him to do and where they
line him up because he's worthy of going to a
camp next year and.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Try to win a job.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I mean, think about the temperament of an Austin Richards
who's sitting there, He's sitting in film room watching this
go down, and he understands that this guy is playing
ahead of him only because of where he was picked
in the draft, and so that's got to be a
source of frustration for him, for me, for Tyler guy.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And it just comes down to strength. And this guy's
got to get in the gym. He just got to
get it.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
If you just look at him on the sideline, I'm
saying to myself like, Okay, Monday through Friday, you know
what is my man doing?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
And I know I'm not blaming the conditioning.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
I know they got him in there and he's working
out and I don't know, like Warsick the guy used
to be in the past, like those guys were Diesel,
you know. Sometimes it's looking the part being the part
and all of that. I'm just like, man, my man,
to your points. This is this is where you go
back and you and you talk about an off season.
(29:57):
The coaches said all the time, the greatest growth from
a players from year one to two. Yes, and who
talks with guyton about getting better? We've seen where we've
seen players who have gotten So that's that's the thing.
And a lot of it's gonna be upon him. He's
gonna have to want to do this work internally to
become a better player. But the bust factor that people
(30:20):
are talking about, I don't feel that way about him
that I think some other people do. I think some
some people are trying to call him like another Massi Smith,
And I was like, I wouldn't. I would not put
that on him.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I would not. I would not compare those players in
that in that fashion.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
So let's let's see that we're gonna take a break
right there, We'll stop, We'll stop.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Heck right there, stop right there. Louds rush you by Aristocrat.

They know your name?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
He got thirty The drivers need to put the gay
kid he already you good back of all all.
Speaker 13 (33:43):
Oh man, oh gods, loud Agencys, loud mistocrat gaming that
we can't tell you we talk about, but it is
what his Cowboys with that thirty four twenty six win.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
U looks coon Maker, Yes, Sir, caught a touchdown pass
a little bit And the last two weeks Luke Schoolmaker
has looked like a player. He's taking advantage of his
opportunities with Jake Ferguson being out and Brian Schottenheimer to
his credit. When I asked him a couple of weeks ago, said, man,
Schooner's just got He's got to get his confidence, He's
(34:21):
got to get his confidence going so the opportunity to
play and they had no other option that you had
to do this. I want to make sure I get
the managed credit because we're sitting around here saying, hey man,
you're a draft pick.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
You're not doing your job.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
And if he can continue to do that what you
saw against Washington and you can get Jake Ferguson back,
now you're giving yourself even more options.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
How many years Jake got left too? So I got
two level okay, and span forward. Give credit to spa
Ford because he's playing some ball. I mean those possession receptions,
they mean a lot. But Louke school Maker, to me,
he has been the biggest surprise guys that look he is.
I guess owned up to the disappointment of being benched
(35:04):
because that's the only thing that happened. He got benched
and he wasn't a part of the rotation. But that
touchdown a the way it was kind of overthrown. He's
still extended himself out made that catch. That's the kind
of production that we've been waiting for from this tight
end room. And when you finally see it show up
and show up in a big way in a game
like this, that you had to have man kudos and
(35:25):
my man Luke.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yes, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Yes, that was that there the special teams unit started bad,
ended good, but yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
It was. It was something to see him a man
calling his number and then of course, yeah he gonna times,
he's gonna call I see hey, I'm taking this to
the crib.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Call my number. I'm in the gang, coach.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
So, so explain the situation if folks okay, So.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Washington scores the Terry McLaurin touchdown, Austin Siebert lines up
to tie the game with the extra point. It is
a bad snap, so the snap is bad. The holder
catches a bad ball. He's trying to catch it and
set it up.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
He does.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
It's not a smooth operation, so the kicker has to
kind of hesitate and when he does kick it, it
goes wide left. Kicker gets the blame. But this happened
with the bats snap to the holder. So now Washington
kicks off and it's an onside kick and Janye Thomas.
Speaker 11 (36:26):
Catches it and you on the front line. So usually
the guy that's blocking you usually let the ball go
passion and block.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
He decides I'm tearing steel but this time, I'm gonna
I'm taking no, I'm t I'm Tyler guy, and I'm
gonna run, except I won't get stripped. So he goes
and scores a touchdown, and which means that, hey, there's
gonna come another kickoff and something that happened more.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Yes, yes, time was you wanted to run out the clock,
not do the score.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Anyway, but yes, Wanye celebrated and Mike McCarthy just kind
of had some some of the some folks on the
sidelights had to look.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Like you been on McCarthy.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
He was like this, Yeah, we can't if we could
just tap into what he was saying in his head.
It was a lot of four letter words. I can't
believe you just did. Would I'm telling you he did.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
He did not like that.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Ain't having a party again to dance?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 4 (37:26):
He turned.
Speaker 10 (37:29):
Wrong?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Time to be turned? My brother?
Speaker 12 (37:31):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (37:31):
Yes, So so that was one of those like you know,
you know when people always talk about those times where
I don't I don't remember who first started doing this,
but players falling down at the one and I would.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Have scored, I would you know, I would have scored.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
I would have But then you know, looking back onto
That's one less touchdown for that guy. That's one less
whatever it would have been, you know, for that guy.
But that's just it's again situational awareness, understanding where you
are in the game. You can run the clock out
and we can walk up out of here.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
They can't.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
They don't have any time outs. They can't stop it.
I catch this ball, I down it. I don't put
us in any harm's way. It's team over me. And
that's one of those things like when you see it happen,
you know it's selfish, and then there's another part of
you it's like, ah, man, how many times's one year
Thomas gonna get a chance to score? Then you start
trying to rationalize it with all of the other bs.
(38:22):
But the truth is that's a selfish act.
Speaker 10 (38:25):
Dog.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
You know what, Let's get out of here with this dove.
Let's get out of here with this dove. Hands.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Team is on the bells of poor on side kick
pops right up, checks right up to you, fall on it.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Not one year like that, you know, I wonder if
it Guy Brendan Brendan Clinton, who does the video.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Look at Peter's all you gotta do is catch the ball.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
No, it's in my hands. It's a big watermelon. I see,
I see the end zone.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
I'm gonna score. I go do my ass And.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Look at the coach man upset.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
He was He was he because he just seen his
He just seen his defense give up an eighty six
yard touchdown. But the last I don't want them to
go back an eighty six yard touchdown. And Zimmer is
probably Zim is the one that was really ticked off, like.
Speaker 13 (39:18):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Call another kind of got here and get out of
here with this stuff. Right, we're trying to go home.
All we gotta fall down Cooper deal. I mean, just boom,
We're done.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
We got a hero. That's the way I put a
cap on.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
He did that.
Speaker 11 (39:32):
Look at me yesterday he was yeah, man, oh yeah,
we did that out there. Gotta stay neutral, like man,
my god, you know it was.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
But just scared me though, even on that one with
a block.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
It was the block punt that we were backed up,
and I'm saying to myself, they better not call a fake.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
You better not, you.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Better not call I picked that man and said during
the week, yeah, what you see, Yeah, I don't care
what well, what you see no matter what you see.
Speaker 5 (40:04):
But you know what, at least he's consistent. He does
not switch up with nobody. You know, I'll do it again,
but I do it again, and I do it again.
He said that on Twitter. Yes he did do it again.
We know, we know, we know, but Michael, hey, can
we can we say anything about the bazooka? I mean,
(40:24):
what did you think about this?
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Talking to me?
Speaker 5 (40:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:27):
He was happy. He was happy.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Man was about to pay that twenty five.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
That wouldn't be I wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
I mean, if I was his mama will be telling him, boy,
you better not get a twenty five thousand dollars five two.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Sacks, two sacks. And he said he's not playing to tank.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
He's here for He's here to win. And somebody put
on Twitter to me about how you know he believes
Michael got him believing again and hope, and that's why
I said, hold on man. Somebody was like, what they
gonna win out? He said, Michael's leader and that we
(41:03):
need to hold on man. We go pull this business,
you pull it up.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
I mean, how do one of those guys are you
one of those guys about organic tanking?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
You know in the hole here it is.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
I changed my mind or because I've changed my mind,
And I'll preference this by saying, I do not believe
the Cowboys can make the playoffs, but I do believe
the best thing for this team is from Micah to
inspire a run. This is his moment to be the
true leader of this team. And my response was, I
(41:37):
see you took a hit of that, hope, and after
the win, then he responded, it's been a long season, Dowie.
I needed it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Lord, I'm with you, though he typed that with his soul, he.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Says, but I think it's Michaeh being at the front
of all that that makes it worth it to me.
Cowboy fans and media have been arguing for a while
if Mica is a leader, well here's his chance.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
Everyone's hurt. But I believe in the lion.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
I believe.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
Yeah, man, So that that came from hashtag life of
a Cowboys fan.
Speaker 5 (42:23):
My man, this he need at least he hits you
back with the thud thumbs now you hey, you know

I can't believe this.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
How did they just suck me back in that fast?
Speaker 4 (44:40):
Dude? I was getting prepared for the video.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Look at this going on. Look at Peters, this is
getting out. Let him.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
I peed down my leg and there for eighty six
yard touchdown that was out of We're trying to get
the coach fired.
Speaker 4 (44:56):
For hect my hands and Barry Church Chrispine right, we'll
talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is the Players Lounge, broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys
World headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts Barry Church,
heckma Harrison, and new he Scrugs.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Victory Monday, coming at you from the Star. It is
the SWC Podcast Studios. It is the Players Lounge, brought
to you by Aristocrat Gaming former Cowboys safety Barry Church.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yes, Sir, Heck Maharrison is.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Here, I am new he Scrugs and the Cowboys pull
off a thirty four to twenty six victory in the
Nation's capital at Bedexfield. The Cowboys with an incredible fourth quarter.
Brad Sham once said that the great Eric Nadel, who's
a Hall of Famer for the Texas Rangers, said, you
always want to come to the ballpark because you may
(01:03):
never know when you see something you've never seen before. Gentlemen,
had you ever seen a fourth quarter or a Cowboy
game like that?
Speaker 5 (01:10):
He No, No, I've never been a part of anything
like that. I've never seen a game so back and
forth like that. And I'm telling you, from the first quarter,
I was were texting back and forth like this is bad, sloppy.
It was sloppy on both sides.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And I think we came in.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
We had the Commanders up on a pedestal, you know, defensively,
offensively Jaydon Daniels, you know, Rookie of the Year before
you caven given the trophy. But either way, he just
all the different things that you were seeing from them.
You anticipated this game being a get right game for
the Commanders and they will come out motivated to show
that weapons, show the defense.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You know, we were kind of scared for Cooper Rush. Yeah,
I was.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
You know, the offensive line, who who you got, Who's
gonna protect them? And then all of setting the game changed.
It got to the point where you needed to make plays,
and guys like Ceedee Lamb, no matter how we felt
about him, we talked about him, Ceedee Lamb made some
plays when it counted that they needed and Cooper Rush
(02:16):
may have threw him, threw him into a couple of headaches,
but he still came down with the ball. And man,
I got a word for my man for Kittle Kelsey,
you better hurry up and get back. You better hurry
up and get back because scoolmaker had himself one hell
of a game. But I had never knew I had
never seen anything like that, man. And and that fourth
(02:38):
quarter was probably as wild the fourth quarter as I've
ever seen.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Go ahead, I was gonna say the and I'm sure
you all had to say the text on my phone
from Turpin with the touchdown to McLaurin touchdown to the
mixed the extra point to one year Thomas Society.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I don't care. I'm going to go school that man.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
He gonna call it, He's gonna call himself.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Man, is an opportunity for thirty to get the rock?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Give it to me, right.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's just so very clear, like you know this, this
is not the best thing to do. Scoring is good
for you, he's not really good for anyone else.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Call your sock.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Remember what we said last I'll do it again. Yeah,
you better believe I'm but do it again.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I'll do it again. But but that was it was
just interesting to see. And I'm sure you're phones the same.
If you go back and look at the time stamps
of when it all happened from it was it was,
it was, it was.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
It was wild. It was very wild.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
No, I was a nut.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
It was it was a crazy, crazy game overall, sloppy, gritty,
whatever you want to call it. I mean, that was
the type of a game that usually the Cowboys will
find a way, at least this season, will find a
way to lose, lose somehow, some way, they will find
a way to lose that game.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
But they didn't in this situation. The fourth quarter was bananas.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I think, going in a halftime, what was it like
nine to three or three to three or something.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Crazy like that, and to have a point explosion like that,
it's nuts.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's nuts.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
But to me, you know, I want to give some
flowers of some praise to my guy Zimmer over there,
all right, because you know, as much as I beat
up on him on this show and the defense, Oh
why would you do this?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Why would you do that? I got a call like
I see it.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
The man had a phenomenal game plan for that offense
that on Friday, Me, you and Jesse talked about it.
I was like, man, how they gonna handle Eckler, How
they gonna handle scary Terry mccormth Robinson. You got Daniels
being able to scramble all over the place. He's man,
They're gonna go crazy on the Cowboys. And what he
did was he switched up that defense. He crowded the
(04:38):
line of scrimmage pretty much each in every down, not
just like bringing a guy into the box. He made
it look like they were blitzing all out each and
every down. And what they would do was they would
force Ekler to come up there and take a block
so you couldn't just leak out in the backfield.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And get those late catches and get those yards.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Then they would play man the man and shout out
to Bland being back out there.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
You know what he brings to the table.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
But a guy that's stepped up and had a wonderful
game was Butler. I mean, the undrafted kid, number thirty one.
He went out there and did this thing. Man, you're
talking about ten tackles, three pass breakups, thrown into the
lineup because you know, Diggs wasn't able to travel, so
he was like, man, throw me in it. I'm gonna
step up. He had his opportunities at at McLaurin. Did
his job out there. Like I said earlier, three pass
(05:20):
breakups and a lot of guys.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Just stepping up and playing well. I mean it was gritty.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Offensive line was able to keep you know, Cooper Rush
pretty much protected throughout the game, which was a surprise
to me. It was a surprise to me, but they
were able to do that. Cooper Rush didn't turn the
football over and finally finally said our guy, big mic man,
look like I called side. Hey, I call like I
see it earlier in the season. I'm like, you know,
(05:46):
play call has been terrible. But this game, man, he
did his thing. He came with a balanced attack, he
had balanced attack and looked how much better this offense
looked throughout this game? They had a fighting chance throughout
the entire game. Of course Turpin showed up and did
his thing. But you know, how to get some flowers
to a couple people because you know, I talk a
lot of got a lot of noise when when they
don't go the right way.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So no, I mean, I.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Want to make sure that I give flowers to Josh Butler,
Josh Butler from West Mosquite High School.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Man, his story is so inspiring.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
If you don't know about Josh Butler, it goes beyond football.
What this young man has had to overcome. He lost,
he lost, he lost two of his parents while he
was in college. I mean, and that's that's one of
those things that obviously as a young man he could
have tanked it. He could have tanked his whole career.
He has so much character as a young man and
during those COVID years and the way that he took
(06:38):
care of his business. If you follow him, if you
follow him on social media, it's all about his two
pit bulls. He has two pit bulls that are like
his kids basically. But he's an inspiration. He's a guy
that never quit on himself, never quit on his career
and making the Cowboys roster and being called up from
the practice squad and being able to do this.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
This is a testament to guy's.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Maximiz saying opportunities when it finally meets it, and that's
the thing about, you know, being prepared for opportunity. And
that's a guy that when his number was called, he
came in and he did that. I know a lot
of people was making fun of him on that run
last week where he missed the tackle and it was like, yea,
he didn't, didn't any waver never blinked and came right back,
man and had one hell of a game when you
(07:21):
needed it. But we got to say something about Drun
Bland at some point, you know.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Go ahead, I mean, go ahead the day to just
just keep keeping here.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Here's the thing, this is a guy, even with a
foot injury, his reputation is still intact.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You see that. You can see that. Hey, I'm telling
you what Jaydeon Daniels wasn't doing.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
If Drun Blad was over here, he was like, Hey.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I'm not You're not about to go to the store
on me.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
So stay stay with that point right there. Jane Daniels
is a rookie.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
It's not like Jade Daniels to able look at any
film this year Dron Bland. That means Dan Quinn and
Joe Whitt and Cliff Kings. Yeah, yeah, don't do that,
don't We got advice for young and don't don't do that.
Give credit to Bland for taking the time he needed
to make sure he was right to get back. I mean, Barry,
(08:18):
you understand that as a former player, sometimes guys will
push it a little bit just trying to get back.
But we thought Blam was going to come back to
the Detroit game because that's what Stephen Jones had said.
One of the Jones' is sitting the radio there. But
he came back at the right time and he performed
at the level that made me say yeah, yeah, that guy.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
And that's that's what it all comes down to, making
sure you understand your body and making sure you go
out there at the right time because a lot of
cats will go out there not ready and go out
there and put out bad tape. And then when you
come back around for that contract or whatever the case
may be, off season, talk about how you played during
the season. There's no oh, I fought through injury and
I did everything for this team. I came back, there's
(08:57):
none of that's okay, Well, here's your numbers and here's
your staff. You can go over there and say, man,
I was dealing with a pooled hamstring.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I was dealing with.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
A threw it for you guys, I fuck threw it. Man,
I ain't gonna hear none of that's a production.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I'm like that for the city.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
These are the stats right here. Your productions right here
is not where you need to be. So kudos to
him for for making sure he was right before getting
back in its good.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
He was, he was good.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Heck, I mean, it was just bottom line, you just
looked at that game, and you just said, man, this
Sky is a player, and and and the other portion
of it to me, hit is yeah, you gotta pay.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
You know, you have to name like a Parsons. You
got to pay the.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Tool that's a that's a lot of ducats on that
in the corners for this. You gotta figure it out.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
But I gotta figure But I'll say this, and you
tell me if you disagree. I'll pay for corners in
this league.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
That's fact.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I'll pay for corners in this league knowing that what
you got in Philadelphia between the receivers and their quarterback
and now that running back, because with the running back
you gotta go ahead and stop to run first.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
So that needs you go let some guys on some islands.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
If you can get a healthy Digs and a healthy
bland together, I'll pay those two guys. I've got to
believe at some point the Giants may figure something out,
because they do have one receiver there who can be
a problem. We know what Washington's got here. I'll pay
for blanding Digs back there. I'll have to figure out.
I'll need Mazie to do something more.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Hey, look, it's a lot of man that no, I
agree cutting the corner of his eyes. And I'm just
(10:46):
saying at some point time.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
But but literally, from the standpoint of this is where
you're gonna have to hit on those draft picks in
order for you to pay those guys, means you need
other players to start to develop you feeling that I'm
not a look at some point in time, you want
Mozzi has to be a part of a rotation, a
rotation of something and some other folks. I mean you
(11:08):
need some You got you got four years on You
could decline the fifth year if you want you but so.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
You have to You got years three and four coming up. Okay,
got years three.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
And and and you're correct at this point in time.
But I would pay those two guys. You saw what
happened yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
With black right, he did his ding man, he did
his day.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
But that won't so if I'm paying people from paying people, we.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Ain't talking about like you know, one guy's getting you know,
third highest in the corner and the other guys.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Maybe getting fifteen.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Blain gonna want them ducats Man.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
He.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Deserved so deservedly so, but also I think defensively, guys
like Chauncey Golston. Guys like Chauncey Golston, who are those
rotational pieces that you're talking about. They're not there. They're
not starters by ay. They're a guy that's gonna be
a piece that and maybe another. I don't want to
just call him just another guy, but you need him
as a rotational piece. You need him as a guy
(12:06):
that could come in and spell some of your you know,
a tank when Tank is playing Sam Williams, when Sam
Williams is playing, he fits in nicely. Even guys like
Joseph I mean, come on, you needed the plays to
be made.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Watkins, Colos, Watkins upfront.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Guys are making plays when they need to upfront, and
they did that. This was a running game that you
thought obviously. I believe that Cliff Kingsburg had enough sense
to come into this game and say, look, I'm not
going to abandon the run by any means. I'm going
to continue to try and drive the because I know
what they can't stop. And he came out with it
(12:42):
with a game plan in the run. Look, guys, you
know I call high school football, I call college football,
and I see the Reid option Friday and Saturday, but
when I see it in the pros, I'm like, what
what are you doing? You know, I don't know what
Jayson Dangils whatever, he's gonna come in this league, but
if you're trying to use him like you see these guys,
(13:04):
and I mean nine times out of ten, a five
technique in the NFL is gonna blow your quarterback up,
and you're gonna have to have better design runs for
him than the read option. And I understand that somehow
the college game has infused itself into the pro game,
but I don't like seeing that, you know, and I
don't like seeing it, especially when I'm looking at Michah
(13:25):
and I'm saying, Micah's gonna figure this out. Michaeh has
to figure it out because teams are optioning off of him,
and you saw that yesterday. If they're making it, you
have to make a decision on either on that running
back to come down a line of scrimmage or you
have to go out on this quarterback. And you saw
in that one touchdown that Jaydon Daniels had where one
of your Tomas didn't get to the outside of it
all contained Like, those are just the little things that
(13:47):
if you have a cornerback that's smart enough to hold
that contained. Your quarterback's not going anywhere, and you're putting
him at risk when you continue to run the ball.
Like when you look at the ground game for the Commanders, Yeah,
they had one hundred and forty five yards rushing, but
a lot of that was towards the fourth quarter, thirdle
and Devil's Daniels all everything else is covering.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, let me break in tain, let me.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Like they did a phenomenal job on this, this Commander's
rushing attack.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
And then you look at.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Last Yeah, you right about that. You can scary Terry,
even scary Terry mccorn out there.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
He had over one.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Hundred but eighty six one place. How the heck does
that happen? Wait a second, watching, let's let's take a break.
Take a break because this is.
Speaker 3 (14:34):

That is heck Maherrison, Thank you for the reads. Players
line is brought to you by Aristocrat Gaming. Barry Church
is your former Dallas Cowboys safety of newest scrudgery capping
is thirty four to twenty six wins.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Been forty nine days since.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
The Cowboys last couple wins, but hey, who cares?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You got it done?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
It was it was, you know, it was just it
was nice to talk about a win for a change.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Here.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
The Cowboys did not make it easy.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
So with two forty nine to go in the game,
Cavante Turpin after zach Ertz makes a touchdown catch and
they get two point conversion to make it twenty to
seventeen with a ninety nine yard kickoff return, now ten
point game like it's good, it's good. But with one
and then with one forty to go they kicked the
Washington kicks the field goal. So now it's twenty seven
(18:14):
to twenty. Washington gets the ball again. It's twenty one
seconds left in the game. Twenty one seconds up the game.
Jay Daniels his Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
And walk the dog, that Swiss cheesey.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
What happened was so Barry Church, can you explain one
man's just.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Cutting past everybody for eighty six yard.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Tests And you know it was not McCarthy. It was
my old coach, Rob Mary Nelly.
Speaker 10 (18:42):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
He would have I mean he might.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Have stormed on the field thrown stuff if he would
have saw that.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Because what the difference was, and how McLaurin was able
to get all the way through up the sidelines for
the touchdown.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
It's a bunch of loafs.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
It was guys thinking, Oh, that guy's gonna make the play.
Oh he's gonna walk out of bounds. Now they got
the angle. I'm all right, Oh snap, did you see
him starting to gas it up? Oh he's a better
at time, It's too late, he's gone. If you see
it when he caught the ball. I wish we had
like a picture of video or something of everybody. There's
mad guys just jogging like somebody else get him out
or somebody somebody push him out of bounds, make the play.
Speaker 11 (19:15):
And then when he started turning on the gas up
the sidelines, it's a little bit too late.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
And that's what it is. That's an effort play right there. Yeah,
he's gonna get to catch, all right. You can concede
the catch, push him out of bounds, live to fight
another day. But when you think that next guy over
there is gonna make the play, or that guy has
the angle, so I'm all right, I don't need to
chase him down from the back. I'm gonna save my
strength for the next rep. That's when defenses get exposed.
And you saw right there and there it was just
a bunch of lows, bad angles. I forget the guy
(19:41):
who was at the top, he was battling with the block.
He should have went over top and forced McLaren to
cut back in.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Nobody was there.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
There was no contain on the second level for this defense.
And you saw exactly what the playmaker is able to
do when he has gas like McLaurin. I mean the sideline,
he's gone. That's why it's it's it's coach talk, and
I've been accused of it and I've done it myself.
I've loathed on plenty of plays out there. But that's
why I said, you got to give you a hundred
percent infort no matter what time it is on the
(20:07):
football field, because anything can happen. And that's exactly what happens.
There's a bunch of loafs. It all compounded in the
one and clombs up the sidelines for the touchdown.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, the skuy dontline.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
And it is going to be an indictment on a
lot of guys in that effort that they put in
right there, especially at the end of the game, and
especially what you know, what's at staked. All you got
to do is get a stop. And it's called situational
awareness some another. So get him down, get him down.
If anything, he's not gonna walk this thing because it's
eight of us back here, you know, and there's no
(20:38):
way that we're gonna allow a play of eighty six yards.
But that's the kind of season that the Cowboys have
been having. You know, if you get it I'll just wait,
let you hand you got it. You got got it,
you know, I'll take you know, and if guy's not
taking the accountability. And that's the one thing that has
just been maddening this entire season. It got to the
point where you're you can almost set a you know,
(20:59):
you by it's about time for us to get another penalty.
You know, when the flag goes down, it's like, no,
that's it was time for another one, you know, the
holding penalty.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We already know who is on lining up outside. We
already know that we got it, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
I mean even though it was probably one of those
games I didn't even look at this. I don't think
that the Cowboys were like historically penalized in this game.
But when the penalties came down, you k dow who
the usual suspect was gonna be when it came down
to those penalties, and it's it's that's what's maddening.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
That's the thing that's upsetting. But look, you pulled it out.
It was a gutsy performance.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
They didn't allow the bad players to overcome the plays
that they needed to make. I said it on Thursday
when we were sitting here, I was like look, if
the Cowboys win this game, it's going to be a
team win. This was a team win because it took
all three phases to pull this victory out.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Rush Cooper Rush.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Absolutely needs a pat on the back hand that man
of Beer, because because he in spite of all of
the doubt that's around the quarterback position at times, especially
on this losing streak, you needed him to have this
kind of performance. He made throws when he needed to write.
I don't know what the whole I know we whatever
(22:26):
the package is for him roller right, Rush is tulpur
turp is right now, Lamb. Like going on long drives,
you get to the gola, Lance does nothing. Let's bring
Cooper Rushing back in at the rhythms off. I don't
(22:49):
know who that's on. I don't know who, and I
won't say I'm just I'm just saying, there's certain things
that happened that you go come on now.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I know Mike didn't.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
There's no way that Mike looked at that whole entire
drive and said, you know what, this is a perfect time,
this is it, this is when I gotta do it.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And then it's just one player and you bring him out.
Speaker 10 (23:10):
To me.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's why.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
That's why I was like, what is Mike? What is
Mike thinking? That makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
So Trey Lance, the Trey Lance packages, which if Jerry
talked about on his radio show and Brian Schottenheimer spoke
about it as well. They unveiled the tray Lance package
inside the red zone.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
And didn't work.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
And so.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
That's when you're gonna get criticized when things don't work.
They tried if it works, good, but it didn't work.
So I mean, I'm kind of torn because we I know,
I talked about, all right, man, figure out what this
guy can do, and they did it. And maybe what
we're finding out is, hey, you made let's put that, put.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
That with that, put that away. You're fooling runlets like throwing.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
As a former safety, yes, you're sitting there. You've been
playing this entire game. You see the Cowboys get into
the red zone.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
You see.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Guiding go from his left tackle position all the way
to to overload. They're overloading the right size wrap. Even
if I'm playing in the middle of the field like
I'm supposed to be the last line of man, I'm up.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
I'm up in lying backer level because I know it
was about to have.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
You ain't throwing the football. You ain't get me a
balanced set. Everything is overloaded. I know exactly what's about
to happen. Hey, and come up there.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And and the tough part about that, And we saw
a lot of them yesterday with one yard runs. The
offensive line couldn't move them. And so uh, there's some
issues there about.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
The kind of team you have.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
So I won't I don't want to beat up the
thought process because I get the thought process.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
The execution just not there.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Part of it is.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Your old line is just not that good. And we've
talked about it before you've tried it. I mean, you'd
like to think, hey man, let's go over here. Oh
load that thing up, go get us a yard.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
I get it. You like to think you could do that.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You can't.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
But let's give some credit where credit is due to
this offensive line. Though you had to at the last
minute you realized how the Smith's not playing. You knew
that Zach Martin was going to be able to play,
but guys like TJ. Bass and brock Hoffman, they stepped
up sixty bully. It was a bully and he was
everything that you needed, even for the eighty nine yards
(25:30):
that Ricodado had. It was enough to create a balance
to your offense, and it was it was everything that
you needed to at least stonewall or freeze those linebackers
from just saying, oh, we're just gonna come out because
nobody's loading the box against the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Let's just be clear, right, And so.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Since they're not loading the box, play action has to
be significant. And when that play action was happening, they
were leaving things behind them wide open, or when they
were running you had guys LIKEJ.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
TJ.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Bass and brock of from getting to the second level
that made the job. I think for BB looked bad.
I mean, though he had some bad snaps in this game.
He has to correct that, but he didn't look as
bad as he looked in previous games. And you got
to get credit what credit is doing that situation.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
It showed doubt the guards. Not having two pro Bowl
guards there, they filled in admirably. They did their job,
but when we talk about some of the second ones
and third ones as a group as an offensive line group,
they didn't get them done. And that's something that it's
gonna be hard for you to try and end up
(26:36):
with a winning record. When you can't do things like that,
that's something that definitely has to be emphasized. But they
kept they kept at it, and the Cowboys were able
to run the ball enough to have an impact in
the game, and they those two guards definitely get a
lot of credit.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Give Awesome Richards credit because there are times.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
When they put twice they had to pull a Guytan
out of the game, and Richards came in there and
did well until he got hurt, and then they had
to put guy back out there in the game.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
And you you you're shaking your head a little bit.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I had somebody on social media try to defend guiding
to me and just, well, I think he's playing well.
I thought that if he's playing so well, why they
pull him out twice? I said, I'm not calling and this.
Somebody said, can you call him a bus I said, no,
you can't call him a bust. He's early in his career,
but he's had some games where he has been a
(27:25):
drive killer. And we saw it yesterday again, and I'm sorry,
lining up twice you get flagged from not lining up
twice some point in time. You're not getting it. You're
not getting it. Because they're gonna ward, They're gonna tell you.
And then of course you like check what good I mean?
You know, I could he's he's got he's got some
(27:48):
work to do. Not gonna call him a bus. Brad
Sham had mentioned on it in the in the radio broadcast,
and I was like, okay, hey, we're not crazy on
the players lounge when we talked about, hey, maybe he
ends up going back to right guard. Maybe maybe putting
him at left is too much right tackle I mean
right tackle, right tackle. Yes, I'm sorry, right time put
him at right tackle where he was in college. So uh,
(28:10):
there's gonna be some interesting conversations after the season about
where you go with him and reassessing what his rookie
year was and what you think he what you thought
he was gonna be right and and not not, hey
let's throw the guy. No, you're not gonna throw the
guy away. You draft him his first round pick. He's
gonna learn, probably have a different O line coach who
let's see exactly what kind of system you're running next
(28:30):
year as well. But yesterday was was was rough, and
that was one of the players that is you're watching
the game and other people I'm sure on your texting
what's he doing? And then when Richards went out, you
couldn't pull him out. I mean you couldn't put you know, you.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Had to put him back in.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
But down to the boats first round, awesome.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Richards is a is A is a guy.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Next she'll be very interested to see exactly what what
are they gonna allow him to do and where they
line him up because he's worthy of going to a
camp next year and.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Try to win a job.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I mean, think about the temperament of an Austin Richards
who's sitting there, He's sitting in film room watching this
go down, and he understands that this guy is playing
ahead of him only because of where he was picked
in the draft, and so that's got to be a
source of frustration for him, for me, for Tyler guy.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And it just comes down to strength. And this guy's
got to get in the gym. He just got to
get it.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
If you just look at him on the sideline, I'm
saying to myself like, Okay, Monday through Friday, you know
what is my man doing?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
And I know I'm not blaming the conditioning.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
I know they got him in there and he's working
out and I don't know, like Warsick the guy used
to be in the past, like those guys were Diesel,
you know. Sometimes it's looking the part being the part
and all of that. I'm just like, man, my man,
to your points. This is this is where you go
back and you and you talk about an off season.
(29:57):
The coaches said all the time, the greatest growth from
a players from year one to two. Yes, and who
talks with guyton about getting better? We've seen where we've
seen players who have gotten So that's that's the thing.
And a lot of it's gonna be upon him. He's
gonna have to want to do this work internally to
become a better player. But the bust factor that people
(30:20):
are talking about, I don't feel that way about him
that I think some other people do. I think some
some people are trying to call him like another Massi Smith,
And I was like, I wouldn't. I would not put
that on him.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I would not. I would not compare those players in
that in that fashion.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
So let's let's see that we're gonna take a break
right there, We'll stop, We'll stop.
Speaker 4 (30:38):

They know your name?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
He got thirty The drivers need to put the gay
kid he already you good back of all all.
Speaker 13 (33:43):
Oh man, oh gods, loud Agencys, loud mistocrat gaming that
we can't tell you we talk about, but it is
what his Cowboys with that thirty four twenty six win.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
U looks coon Maker, Yes, Sir, caught a touchdown pass
a little bit And the last two weeks Luke Schoolmaker
has looked like a player. He's taking advantage of his
opportunities with Jake Ferguson being out and Brian Schottenheimer to
his credit. When I asked him a couple of weeks ago, said, man,
Schooner's just got He's got to get his confidence, He's
(34:21):
got to get his confidence going so the opportunity to
play and they had no other option that you had
to do this. I want to make sure I get
the managed credit because we're sitting around here saying, hey man,
you're a draft pick.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
You're not doing your job.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
And if he can continue to do that what you
saw against Washington and you can get Jake Ferguson back,
now you're giving yourself even more options.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
How many years Jake got left too? So I got
two level okay, and span forward. Give credit to spa
Ford because he's playing some ball. I mean those possession receptions,
they mean a lot. But Louke school Maker, to me,
he has been the biggest surprise guys that look he is.
I guess owned up to the disappointment of being benched
(35:04):
because that's the only thing that happened. He got benched
and he wasn't a part of the rotation. But that
touchdown a the way it was kind of overthrown. He's
still extended himself out made that catch. That's the kind
of production that we've been waiting for from this tight
end room. And when you finally see it show up
and show up in a big way in a game
like this, that you had to have man kudos and
(35:25):
my man Luke.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yes, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Yes, that was that there the special teams unit started bad,
ended good, but yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
It was. It was something to see him a man
calling his number and then of course, yeah he gonna times,
he's gonna call I see hey, I'm taking this to
the crib.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Call my number. I'm in the gang, coach.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
So, so explain the situation if folks okay, So.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Washington scores the Terry McLaurin touchdown, Austin Siebert lines up
to tie the game with the extra point. It is
a bad snap, so the snap is bad. The holder
catches a bad ball. He's trying to catch it and
set it up.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
He does.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
It's not a smooth operation, so the kicker has to
kind of hesitate and when he does kick it, it
goes wide left. Kicker gets the blame. But this happened
with the bats snap to the holder. So now Washington
kicks off and it's an onside kick and Janye Thomas.
Speaker 11 (36:26):
Catches it and you on the front line. So usually
the guy that's blocking you usually let the ball go
passion and block.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
He decides I'm tearing steel but this time, I'm gonna
I'm taking no, I'm t I'm Tyler guy, and I'm
gonna run, except I won't get stripped. So he goes
and scores a touchdown, and which means that, hey, there's
gonna come another kickoff and something that happened more.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Yes, yes, time was you wanted to run out the clock,
not do the score.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Anyway, but yes, Wanye celebrated and Mike McCarthy just kind
of had some some of the some folks on the
sidelights had to look.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Like you been on McCarthy.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
He was like this, Yeah, we can't if we could
just tap into what he was saying in his head.
It was a lot of four letter words. I can't
believe you just did. Would I'm telling you he did.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
He did not like that.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Ain't having a party again to dance?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 4 (37:26):
He turned.
Speaker 10 (37:29):
Wrong?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Time to be turned? My brother?
Speaker 12 (37:31):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (37:31):
Yes, So so that was one of those like you know,
you know when people always talk about those times where
I don't I don't remember who first started doing this,
but players falling down at the one and I would.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Have scored, I would you know, I would have scored.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
I would have But then you know, looking back onto
That's one less touchdown for that guy. That's one less
whatever it would have been, you know, for that guy.
But that's just it's again situational awareness, understanding where you
are in the game. You can run the clock out
and we can walk up out of here.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
They can't.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
They don't have any time outs. They can't stop it.
I catch this ball, I down it. I don't put
us in any harm's way. It's team over me. And
that's one of those things like when you see it happen,
you know it's selfish, and then there's another part of
you it's like, ah, man, how many times's one year
Thomas gonna get a chance to score? Then you start
trying to rationalize it with all of the other bs.
(38:22):
But the truth is that's a selfish act.
Speaker 10 (38:25):
Dog.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
You know what, Let's get out of here with this dove.
Let's get out of here with this dove. Hands.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Team is on the bells of poor on side kick
pops right up, checks right up to you, fall on it.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Not one year like that, you know, I wonder if
it Guy Brendan Brendan Clinton, who does the video.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Look at Peter's all you gotta do is catch the ball.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
No, it's in my hands. It's a big watermelon. I see,
I see the end zone.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
I'm gonna score. I go do my ass And.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Look at the coach man upset.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
He was He was he because he just seen his
He just seen his defense give up an eighty six
yard touchdown. But the last I don't want them to
go back an eighty six yard touchdown. And Zimmer is
probably Zim is the one that was really ticked off, like.
Speaker 13 (39:18):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Call another kind of got here and get out of
here with this stuff. Right, we're trying to go home.
All we gotta fall down Cooper deal. I mean, just boom,
We're done.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
We got a hero. That's the way I put a
cap on.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
He did that.
Speaker 11 (39:32):
Look at me yesterday he was yeah, man, oh yeah,
we did that out there. Gotta stay neutral, like man,
my god, you know it was.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
But just scared me though, even on that one with
a block.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
It was the block punt that we were backed up,
and I'm saying to myself, they better not call a fake.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
You better not, you.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Better not call I picked that man and said during
the week, yeah, what you see, Yeah, I don't care
what well, what you see no matter what you see.
Speaker 5 (40:04):
But you know what, at least he's consistent. He does
not switch up with nobody. You know, I'll do it again,
but I do it again, and I do it again.
He said that on Twitter. Yes he did do it again.
We know, we know, we know, but Michael, hey, can
we can we say anything about the bazooka? I mean,
(40:24):
what did you think about this?
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Talking to me?
Speaker 5 (40:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:27):
He was happy. He was happy.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Man was about to pay that twenty five.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
That wouldn't be I wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
I mean, if I was his mama will be telling him, boy,
you better not get a twenty five thousand dollars five two.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Sacks, two sacks. And he said he's not playing to tank.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
He's here for He's here to win. And somebody put
on Twitter to me about how you know he believes
Michael got him believing again and hope, and that's why
I said, hold on man. Somebody was like, what they
gonna win out? He said, Michael's leader and that we
(41:03):
need to hold on man. We go pull this business,
you pull it up.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
I mean, how do one of those guys are you
one of those guys about organic tanking?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
You know in the hole here it is.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
I changed my mind or because I've changed my mind,
And I'll preference this by saying, I do not believe
the Cowboys can make the playoffs, but I do believe
the best thing for this team is from Micah to
inspire a run. This is his moment to be the
true leader of this team. And my response was, I
(41:37):
see you took a hit of that, hope, and after
the win, then he responded, it's been a long season, Dowie.
I needed it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Lord, I'm with you, though he typed that with his soul, he.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Says, but I think it's Michaeh being at the front
of all that that makes it worth it to me.
Cowboy fans and media have been arguing for a while
if Mica is a leader, well here's his chance.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
Everyone's hurt. But I believe in the lion.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
I believe.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
Yeah, man, So that that came from hashtag life of
a Cowboys fan.
Speaker 5 (42:23):
My man, this he need at least he hits you
back with the thud thumbs now you hey, you know
they hit the thud in the second Yeah.
