Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our Nabbar one hour one of
our radio program, and we start out looking back at
the Monday night football game and how much of the
struggles that the Giants had with Daniel Jones are on
the offensive line, and how much are on Daniel Jones?
(00:21):
And who is playing quarterback for the Giants in twenty
twenty three based on what we've seen so far, has
Cooper Rush created a quarterback controversy on the other side
with the Cowboys. We'll talk about all of those storylines
and more right now in our number one. Having a
(00:42):
started quarterback is overrated. Just asked the Cowboys. They had
their started for the first game, they got smoked, they
lost them, and now the good times we're rolling in
well come. In the beginning of another edition the Ben
Mallers Show, we are in the air Everyway United as
(01:07):
we monitor Roberto's Doppler radar Stormwatch twenty twenty two coast stuck, coast,
border to border and beyond all the bast and irresistibly
powerful microphones of fs are emanating live from the pot
the Jackpot of audio Hogwash, as we are broadcasting live
(01:30):
from the ti iraq dot Com studios ti iraq dot com.
We'll help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Ti iraq dot com the way tire buying should be
in our lead to begin the night comes from the
swamp lands of Jersey. And there was a time when
(01:54):
NFC East Powers got together. It was must see TV.
It was amazing. Even vegans watched. It was that big
a deal. It was a really, really big deal. But
unfortunately those times are long gone, like a house by
the side of the road, but they still play Monday Night.
There they were the old Fox guys that took that
(02:15):
big payout to go to ESPN, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman,
the Giants putting their perfect two and old record on
the line, the Cowboys trying to go above five coming
in one on one. Did you watch now? You did not?
Perhaps you missed it. So Ceedee Lamb, who had a
I want to get away drop on what would have
been a massive play relatively early in the game. He
(02:36):
made up for it late in the game. He snatched
a one handed touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, and
that turned out to be the cap on a go
ahead drive, the Cowboys rallied back. They beat the Giants
twenty three to sixteen and Monday Night football. So if
you bet the Cowboys, you won the bet and a
(02:58):
lot of field goals. If you enjoyed the field goal,
this was a game for you. Brett Maher kicking not one,
not two, but three field goals in Dallas. They have
dominated the Giants who have not even really tried for
almost a decade now. The Giants have been a joke,
and they have lost to the Cowboys ten out of
the last eleven. Or if you're a Cowboy fan, the
(03:20):
Cowboys have won ten of the last eleven. So Cooper Rush.
He had a modest stat line two hundred and ten
yards passing touchdown in the win, second straight start filling
in for Dak Prescott, who's got all kinds of things
wrong with him so well, the thumb mainly so Daniel Jones,
though again substandard the usual quarterback apologists around. It is
(03:45):
not his fall, guys been the guys sucked ever since
he got to the NFL. And there's always these dumb
asses that said all's done his full okay stop, never
his fault. I know, no accountability but he was. He
was not so good yet again under center, not particularly good.
(04:05):
The better story in the losing locker room. So why
don't we start with that, and let us discuss the
question is how much of these struggles are on the
shoulders of Daniel Jones and how much of them are
on the offensive line for the Giants. So I've got
looney tunes, politicians, and genetics, and we will combine all
(04:28):
of these things together and those will be the building
blocks of this Mallord monologue. So, hey, Daniel Jones, he
was absolutely under siege. He was. But they say those
who know that life comes at you fast in the NFL.
And with that being said, the scales of blame, the
(04:49):
matherer scales of blame are leaning on the side of
the quarterback. A lot of people love to blame the
offensive line. They like to blame the fat guys. That's
shaming the offensive line. But you're never going to be
able to lay in a hammock in the pocket and
surf the internet on your smartphone as a quarterback. And
(05:11):
that's just not how life operates. And was the Giants
offensive line great in this game? No, Cowboys have a
pretty good pass Russ is it true that Daniel Jones
continues to get squallowed up by pressure? One hundred percent
under right? And when it comes to decision making, and
this is the thing that people aren't talking about with
Daniel Jones that you're not going to hear a lot
(05:33):
of places, but you will hear here. The decision making
of Daniel Jones is so horrific. That's the bug a boo, Right,
that's it. And you can't figure that out That giants
have been trying for years. They brought in every coach,
they all had great resumes, and they're like, okay, we
can fix the decision making, meaning the timing, and Daniel
(05:54):
Jones continues to be like a Looney Tunes character, slow
Poke Rodriguez, the cousin of Speedy Zalas. Right, he sits
back there, he's slow la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la. And I
often locks in on one receiver and then eventually we'll
try to go to somewhere else. But it turns out
(06:14):
to be a very stagnant situation. That has been the
kryptonite for Daniel Jones, and the coaches continue to try
to codify that part of his game. There and they
have failed. Every one of them has come in and
talked a good game, and every one of them has
walked out with their tail between their leg. All right, now,
(06:34):
page two, who's playing quarterback for the Giants in twenty
twenty three? Because it ain't gonna be this guy, right,
it ain't gonna be this guy, So who's it gonna
be that? Looking into the crystal ball, Reading the body
language on the sidelines, it's fair to say that Brian
Dable was having a coronary now. He was spitting mad
(06:56):
at the officials. There were some shaky whistles for both
sides in this game, the human element, bad officiating. But
as far as the quarterback position is concerned, this is
something he inherited. He didn't want this. It came with
the property. Brian Davil wanted to be a head coach
and this is the booby prize that he had to
take was Daniel Jones. And while it is still early on,
(07:20):
and you say it's only been three games, and he
did look okay, Daniel Jones in the first game of
the year, for example, I'm not I'm not there and
I don't know the Giants aren't there. They're like, okay,
we just wanted to make sure. Now it's kind of
you want to make sure this this thing you bought
sucks before you get rid of it. You gotta get
every chance in the world. And there he was, Daniel Jones.
(07:44):
He got the ball back in this game with a
chance to have a signature moment in the football game,
down by a touchdown, minute forty five left, down by
a score, and how did the Giants do? Did they
matriculate the ball down the field, the long drive, come
close to scoring a touchdown and get burned by the
referees No three three snaps and then a game ceiling
(08:07):
interception thrown to Trevon Dish, good evening, A good afternoon,
good night. You know the deal there, And that's how
it went. And so we're three games into a seventeen
games screen test for Danny Dimes. This is literally and
figuratively a dummy run and Daniel Jones being the dumb
(08:28):
dumb dumb dum dumb dumb yet again, he's acting more
like a politician, those pesky politicians. Daniel Jones is the mayor,
and he's kind of a mayor that you don't want
to be because he's the mayor of Barf City. That's
Daniel Jones, and all the moles and awards popped up
looked like a vintage performance from any of the last
(08:50):
couple of years for Daniel Jones. In this game, he
did run for a lot of yarts, He ran for
a lot of yards, nine quarterback runs, but the throws
were pixelated in a fog. And the Giants are giving
Daniel Jones this one last supper right out of the Bible,
the last supper. They didn't pick up the extension him
(09:12):
an extension, didn't even think about giving him an extension.
There's like, all right, we'll bring it back for one
more year, and it's a casting call. Unfortunately, there is
a supply shortage of many products that we use daily
in a finite number of quarterbacks. And you have a
handful of good quarterbacks, you got a handful of second
tier quarterbacks which you can win a Super Bowl with,
(09:32):
and then you've got hot dog filler that pink slime
all over the NFL. Shout out Geno Smith, Mattie Ice,
Marcus Mariota, Jabos Winston. We can go on and on.
Jared Goff, a lot of that pink slime playing quarterback
around the NFL. All right, last word here, So let's
go over to the Cowboys. Has Cooper Rush created a
(09:56):
quarterback controversy in Dallas? I pumped the brakes on that one.
Let's pump the brakes now. Now. Rush's overall performance, if
you just look at the overall body of work generic,
he was pretty mediocre to bad in the first half
of the game. He saw the game, you know what
I'm talking about. Second half he was good. But this
is not the reincarnation of Roger Staubach. Jerry Jones was
(10:21):
talking to talk last week, but he's not going to
walk the walk. They haven't changed the gate code to
get into Jerry's world just yet. Dak Prescott is going
to get that big chair back. He's going to get
his card to get into the facility. And the thing
that Rush has succeeded no one can disagree with this
is that Cooper Rush what he has been able to
(10:43):
do here is succeed at planting a seed that being
a pest. The thing that Cooper Rush appears to do
well is the weak spot for Dak Prescott. Dak's a
great stat bandito and puts up good fantasy stats and
the people that play fantasy football. I think he's better
than he is. But those end of game situations, right,
(11:06):
that's a problem and so far small sample size. But
Cooper Rush is shown the genetics, right, the genetics are
there their fourth quarter. Cooper Rush in this game completed
eighty percent of his passes, had a touchdown, had a
quarterback rating of over one hundred and twenty, unencumbered by
the pressure of the moment. Now part of that is
(11:29):
because there's no expectations. Nobody expects anything from Cooper Rush,
and he's been extremely good at end of game drives,
fourth quarter under pressure, cool under pressure, does not show
flop sweat like Dak Prescott. Remember Dak in the playoffs
against the forty nine ers the Cowboys driving down wildcard weekend,
(11:49):
trying to get in and how that workout. I ran
out of time. The clock ran out as Dak was
trying to navigate the two minute offense. And so this
does present something the next time Dak is going to
come back, and assuming he plays all right, it's the
end of game situation against the Eagles or next time
they play the Giants. If he screws that up, then Allbviously,
(12:12):
we'll wait a minute. We got a guy that doesn't
usually screw that up, and he's already on the payroll,
So what are we doing here? What's that all? All right,
let's hear from some of the participans who go back
to the Giants the losing locker room. Better story there
in the losing locker room. Brian Dable, the rotund coach
of the Giants, and of course he's a waxing poetic
(12:34):
and ripping the fat guys up front. Yeah, you never
want to have your quarterback yet, but I'd say he
takes care of himself. Again, the more you can keep
him off the quarterback, the better for the quarterback. And
then you know, he's athletic enough to make some loose plays,
and you know there might be some hits in there
when he's scrambling. But yeah, there's no question we got
to do a better job of protecting him. Yeah, of
(12:56):
course we shall should point out the Cincinnati Bengals, who
had a historically terrible offensive line last year, won the
American Football Conference and got to the Super Bowl. So
this is what's known as excuse making by the people
protecting the quarterback. The cool kids, the quarterbacks. All right,
here's more. Let's hear from Danny Dimes himself, and he
wants to throw out rose pedals to the Dallas Cowboy defense.
(13:20):
Played hard? Oh, it played hard? Yeah. I think there's
things we can all do better with that, and that
starts with me and you know, finding space to step up,
finding space to move around the pocket and make some plays.
So I'll study that and we all will. But credit
to them. They're good front, they're good defense. Could they
played hard? I was worried they weren't going to play hard.
(13:40):
The millions of dollars they're making, I was concerned they
might decide this is the night we're not going to
play hard. I would like to see the players rock
hard coaches come out and say, by the way, we
really didn't play hard this week. We decided not to
play r this is the game we're not going to
play hard in. That would be good. The fact that
you have to say that you played hard tells me
that you don't play hard. There are games you don't
(14:00):
play hard. Otherwise you wouldn't have to say it. It
would be a given that you play hard and you
don't play hard all the time. Because you said we
played hard. If you didn't play hard all the time,
then that's why you would say we played hard to
let people know we played hard under attack. Is there
a palace coup going on in the NFL's it already underway?
(14:21):
We'll get to that eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.
We will get to that, and we will do it next.

Garc see your humble sidekick, the Voice of Reason. You're
announcer Guy, I'm at Eddie on Fox. A Hall of
(15:05):
Fame second Baseman, Blue Jays Orioles. He was best known
for spitting in the face of an umpire more wonderful
answers just like that on Mallor's Mountain Muddy coming up
an hour or three of this very program at outlive
from the Tirack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's
Bett Maller, just Josh and Cincinnati says, keeping up with
(15:27):
the Joneses, Eric and Boston a monologue. Daniel Jones is
on borrowed time. Taylor will replace him sooner than later.
It's a miracle. The Giants are two and one. They're
winning in spite of Jones. Well, the same argument that
was made about the Raiders that there are three plays
away from being three and oh, the Giants are two
plays away from being oh and three. So the Tennessee
(15:51):
Titans took a dump on the field there in Game
one and the second half, and the Carolina Panthers incompetence
unable to make a game winning play. There a field
goal win for the Giants over a poor Carolina team.
Alf the alien Opina rights and says a plus plus
on the Malar monologue, you're shout out of a shout
(16:14):
out of a cannon or shot out of a cannon
right out of the gate. When you hit us with
slow polk Rodriguez. I did not see that one coming
when I woke up today. Well, really the underrated When
you think of the Looney Tunes, everyone knows Speedy Gonzalez,
but the cousin slow Polk Rodrigue. How many people, you know,
(16:38):
even people who are of a certain age to remember
the Looney Tunes in there. Hey, they don't know slow
Polk Rodriguez. But that was the cousin of Speedy Gonzalez.
Steve Meatballs right since says, no, man, you've got it
all wrong. Meatballs rights in from Florida. Saying that they
played hard wasn't a confirmation of the effort they exerted.
It was an excuse, you know, like they played with
(16:59):
heavy hearts, or they played with various injuries. They played
hard ouch, So he said, who else? Benito the Cowboy
fan says a plus plus on the Malar monologue. Bro
Cooper Rush ain't nothing but a game manager. He's keeping
the seat warm for Dak when he comes back, which
(17:21):
is going to be win like Nick's next week, two
weeks away or something like that. Yeah, all right, let's
go to the phones. And the Cowboys played, and so
that means a bunch of guys calling up with cowboy monikers.
Let's say hello to Cowboy Dan, who's here to take
a victory lap. Hello, Cowboy Dan, how about those cowboys? Yeah?
(17:42):
How about him? Cowboy? Yeah? I didn't hear from you
the start of the year. I was worried about I said,
what happened to cowboy Day? Yeah? I would have called
him last week. We won last week too, but I
just spaced it out. It's been so long, man, it's
good to hear your voice and shout out to Eddie Garcia.
You know, well, you don't need to shout You don't
need to shout him out. There's don't need to shout
him out. That's not necessary here. But Cowboy Dan, you
(18:04):
are the person we often reference when we talk about
the cowboy hostile takeover the radio show. That is you,
Cowboy Dan, who very rarely, almost never calls up when
the cowboys taking on the chain, but when they win,
you are the first one here, first one here. You
know what they did tonight, the first of all they
(18:25):
won on the road. You got to do that to
be eligible. Wow, it's very tough to beat the giants
on the road. That is such a great home field
advantage they have in New Jersey. It's they almost never
lose the Giants in that stadium, and they play in
their division. The Cowboys won in their division. It's an
amazing night, one of the great nights in the history
of the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboy Dan, DeMarcus Lawrence, how about that?
(18:48):
You want to random shoutouts to different defensive players? Is
that what we're gonna do now? You like that three
sacks or DeMarcus and shout out to Trayvon Diggs for
that game ending interception? Yeah, well the paul was thrown
right at him. You know, the receiver fell down. So
so I have a question for you, and I'll sign
off with this. Ben You know, Dak Prescott or Cooper Rush. Well,
(19:12):
it's going to be Dak Prescott because he's got the contract.
But what do you, Cowboy Dan? Though you're the cowboy apologist,
you're the cowboy homer. Who does Cowboy Dan? Let's give
Cooper a shot, he's earned it. Are you calling for
the benching of Dak Prescott right now? He's already on
the bench. No, But when he comes back, are you
calling for him to be benched? Is he coming back? Yes,
(19:33):
he's coming back next week. Next week. I know I
know that. Jerry. Jerry Jones. I'm looking at my phone.
J Jerry just text me, Jerry. We're good friends, me
and Jerry Jones. He just text me. All right, tell
you I gotta thank you. All right, Go ahead, Cowboy Dan,
Let's say hello to America's favorite drag queen caller in Buffalo,
(19:57):
devastated that the Bills will not go seven teen and
old Flexus. Hello, Flexus, It's great getting porn. I'm telling you.
I'm telling you, it's good for porn. Hello Ben, Hello, everybody.
Let me tell you about those Cowboys. They win one
game and they think they're going to Stiva Bowl. Those
(20:18):
Cowboys stink and their division stinks. They're not going nowhere, baby,
and they give it up to the coats in the
Apples coat that has been They were fantastic yesterday. My
Buffalo Bills, Hey, don't beat them up. I don't care
(20:39):
how many games you could beat, nine to seven or
sixteen old Yeah, they're going to the playoffs and the
happening playoffs and the Apples beat New England when New
England was sixteen. A Babe Manning and you ain't Baby Manning,
but they won that Super Bowl. You're on a roll there, Felexis.
(21:00):
Let me tell you something. I'm going beard, Who are
you most upset at right now? Flexus? Who do you
want to punch? If you could punch anybody, who would
you want to punch? You? Got you? I want well
Danny Gez, the man that produces the podcast. I'm sure
(21:22):
Danny will put you on that podcast and we'll do it.
Yeah right, all right? How about this? Flexs email me?
I don't can anyone put up with Flexus' amazing voice
for thirty minutes in a podcast? I don't know what happy? Happy?
That Jewish? That's the new year? Thank you very you're
(21:43):
a good jew unless you're not? Yes, all right, thank you?
All right, I gotta go, all right, go go away.
All right, We're off to a flying start, unless we're not.
Justin and Cincinnati right since says shout out to cowboy Dan.
(22:04):
He's a douche with a negative IQ, says Justin, who
may or may not know all about that? Valls fan
Jimmy says, do not rush to judgment. That will be back.
Dak will be back. He said that, but I think
he meant Dak will be back against the Rams and
they will win and everything will be okay, unless it
(22:25):
is not. I like that Dak's name is so odd
that when you type it in on your phone, it
replaces it with that Dak become. Apparently that's what happened
with my guy Valls fan Jimmy. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekday, said two
am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hey, what's up everybody? It's
me three time pro bowler Le Warrington, and I couldn't
(22:46):
be more excited to announce a new podcast called up
on Game? What is up on Game? You asked, along
with my fellow pro bowler t J. Hushman, Zada and
Super Bowl champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Birds. You can
only name a show with that type of talent on it.
Up on Game We're going to be sharing our real
life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen to Up on
(23:11):
Game with Me, LeVar Arrington, t J. Hutchman's Out of
and Plexico Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or
wherever you get your podcast from. Can we get a
moment of silence for the Pro Bowl that's right. The
(23:32):
Pro Bowl is uh, well, it's probably been dead for
a long time before. Being honest, but were you at
the Pro Bowls? I was at the last last I
was at one in Hawaii years ago. I wish they
gave me a shovel to put some dirt on it,
because that was one of the worst sporting events I've
ever been at. I had no idea because I stopped
watching it like five years ago. Yeah, and then I
didn't realize that they they went from like a little
(23:54):
bit of tackling to like no tackling a flag football
for Yeah, so they're going to replace it, they flag
football game. My favorite memory of the Pro Bowl though,
when I covered it for a syndicated an outfit years
ago and they flew me into Hawaii and I'm so
I did. I did like local Pro Bowl show in Honolulu,
and the local guys who did sports radio were so
(24:15):
excited to have the Pro Bowl players on, and many
of them were complaining about how far the flight was
from the East coast of the United States to Hawaii.
It was hilarious. I Mean, one importation was Hugh Douglas,
remember him from the Yeah, and he just he complained
the entire time about how terrible the travel was to
(24:35):
get to Hawaii. It was hilarious. I still remember, all
these years later. I'm still laughing my ass off. Did
you see who they put in charge of running the
Pro Bowl? I did see. The guys got a big forehead, Eddie. Yeah,
Peyton Manning and his Omaha production company. I didn't know
he had an Omaha production company. It sounds like inside
of trading to me, Eddie, I don't know how those
politicians hire a friend. I don't know any charge of
(24:58):
this thing. I don't know those Yeah. Yeah, that's why
politicians get elected campaign donations, and then when they get
into the office, they scratched the back of the people
that helped them out a little bit, you know. I see, Yeah,
that's interesting. I've read about that online. Yeah, all right,
thank you for that. Eddiet. Is the Bennet Maller Show.
As we continue on as the Monday night football game
(25:21):
in the book, we've talked about that a lot this
hour at the beginning, as the New York Giants go down, Now,
is there a palace coup going? You're on dateline Pittsburgh, PA.
Outrage Outrage in the Steel City, as there are reports
(25:42):
into Kitty a Kurf fluffle in the Steeler locker room.
Are they upset with Mike Tomlin, No, no, they are not,
but very upset with the offensive coordinator, Matt oh Kind,
and the reporting outside there in Pittsburgh people saying that
(26:03):
the players are not happy with the play calling and
they're not happy with the play caller. And so there
are reports in the echo chamber claiming that while no
one has publicly come out and announced that they would
like a change, behind the scenes, like snakes in the grass,
(26:25):
they are lurking and they are feeding information to Pittsburgh
Steeler media that they're not happy. Now this, Eddie, I
know this from when I was a radio stringer. This
is the easiest story to write. The easiest story to
write is this story. I'll tell you why. Okay, First
(26:48):
of all, you take a team that is not playing well.
So when things aren't going well at the office, there
are people that are upset on the team. So that's easy.
And at any given moment, you can find a group
of players that do not like a coach. You can't,
it's easy. You can. Also, it depends on what your
(27:09):
your agenda is, Like you could also find people on
the Steelers offense if you wanted that think that Matt
Canada is a great coach and that it's not his problem.
He's calling a great game. It just depends on what
the narrative you want to throw out is. But it's
an easy story, right now. Do I think this guy's
(27:31):
knows what he's doing and doing a good job. No,
I don't. I think the Steeler offense is archaic. But
I saw those those stories bouncing around a tension in
the steel City, and Mike Tomlin has to mine. Now.
I has never gotten rid of an offensive coordinator during
a season. He is loyal to a fault there in Pittsburgh.
(27:52):
All right, Ben Mallers Show on Fox, and let's say
hello to moving Man Matt with the mobile Mallard bill
board coming to a city near you, and a long
time New York Giant lapdog. Hello moving Man Matt, Hello
Big Ben. You know, congratulations the Cowboys, it's their closest thing.
(28:12):
They're gonna get to a super Bowl. I guess yes,
being the Giants is like a super Bowl, and else
it's not, well, you know, I mean, if you judge
by social media, I mean, oh, they're back. They're back.
You know, it's been his ninety six, but come on,
their joke the biggest choking dog franchise there ever was like, congratulations,
you got a week three win. The Giants offensive line
(28:36):
is hot garbage, and h are you gonna offer now?
Right now? Will you be offering your services to the
Giants offensive lineman if they'd like to relocate out of
the tri state area there in New New Jersey, New York?
Can you can you offer their services your services so
they can move somewhere else. I mean, it's been twenty
some one years since I put the gear on, but
I'm pretty sure I can block better than some of
(28:58):
them still. Well, not only that to play, and then
you can put all their stuff in your truck and
move them to another city, is what I'm saying. Oh yeah,
that's a big money right there. Big money different We
have different pricing for that kind of stuff. Oh is
that right? Huh? You you have a certain rate that
when you when you see professional athlete, your eyeballs get
(29:19):
like saucers. Is that what you're saying? It's uh, because
the franchise is the one paying for it. So yeah,
there's a certain pricing regime that takes Remember, I got
I got an insight track with someone that's on an
NFL equipment staff that um that helps me out with
some of those did okay, all right, well that's good. No,
(29:40):
it is true. The company does pay for It's like
I remember we worked. Pat O'Brien used to work here,
big TV guy, Pat O'Brien, and when Pat would travel
for CBS or wherever he was working for, he would
stay at the presidential suite at the hotel. And he
told me, he said, yeah, it's just a tax ride
off for the company. They're not I'm not paying for it.
They're not really paying for it either, So you always stayed.
(30:03):
Al Michaels does that too. Al Michael's is legendary for
running up the expenses. So I got asked to put
a bid in for Joe Judge, and I was very
happy to offer my services to get him out of town. Yeah,
but then you'd have to you'd have to listen to
him a talk if he came with you. Man, that
guy doesn't shut up, that Joe Judge. I think I
went a little a little too much for the throat
(30:23):
with that price in this summer when I gave him
the quote. But yeah, that guy's got a lot of stuff.
Joe Judge has a lot of things. He's not that
old guy. How does he have a lot of stuff?
It would not fit in my trailer, would would into
a second trailer. Oh man, he's a hoarder. That sounds
like a hoarder. Get help, Joe Judge. You can't take
that stuff with you man when you check out. All right,
(30:45):
all right, thank you, Matt. There you go. The great
movie Man. Matt Mobile billboard coming to a city near you.

many rushing attempts to do it again. Cordarrell Patterson of
the Falcons. He averaged eight point three yards per cry

the bits over. We've gone. We've moved on now. No,
it's done.
Hello and welcome. It's our Nabbar one hour one of
our radio program, and we start out looking back at
the Monday night football game and how much of the
struggles that the Giants had with Daniel Jones are on
the offensive line, and how much are on Daniel Jones?
(00:21):
And who is playing quarterback for the Giants in twenty
twenty three based on what we've seen so far, has
Cooper Rush created a quarterback controversy on the other side
with the Cowboys. We'll talk about all of those storylines
and more right now in our number one. Having a
(00:42):
started quarterback is overrated. Just asked the Cowboys. They had
their started for the first game, they got smoked, they
lost them, and now the good times we're rolling in
well come. In the beginning of another edition the Ben
Mallers Show, we are in the air Everyway United as
(01:07):
we monitor Roberto's Doppler radar Stormwatch twenty twenty two coast stuck, coast,
border to border and beyond all the bast and irresistibly

Ti iraq dot com the way tire buying should be
in our lead to begin the night comes from the
swamp lands of Jersey. And there was a time when
(01:54):
NFC East Powers got together. It was must see TV.
It was amazing. Even vegans watched. It was that big
a deal. It was a really, really big deal. But
unfortunately those times are long gone, like a house by
the side of the road, but they still play Monday Night.
There they were the old Fox guys that took that
(02:15):
big payout to go to ESPN, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman,
the Giants putting their perfect two and old record on
the line, the Cowboys trying to go above five coming
in one on one. Did you watch now? You did not?
Perhaps you missed it. So Ceedee Lamb, who had a
I want to get away drop on what would have
been a massive play relatively early in the game. He
(02:36):
made up for it late in the game. He snatched
a one handed touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, and
that turned out to be the cap on a go
ahead drive, the Cowboys rallied back. They beat the Giants
twenty three to sixteen and Monday Night football. So if
you bet the Cowboys, you won the bet and a
(02:58):
lot of field goals. If you enjoyed the field goal,
this was a game for you. Brett Maher kicking not one,
not two, but three field goals in Dallas. They have
dominated the Giants who have not even really tried for
almost a decade now. The Giants have been a joke,
and they have lost to the Cowboys ten out of
the last eleven. Or if you're a Cowboy fan, the
(03:20):
Cowboys have won ten of the last eleven. So Cooper Rush.
He had a modest stat line two hundred and ten
yards passing touchdown in the win, second straight start filling
in for Dak Prescott, who's got all kinds of things
wrong with him so well, the thumb mainly so Daniel Jones,
though again substandard the usual quarterback apologists around. It is
(03:45):
not his fall, guys been the guys sucked ever since
he got to the NFL. And there's always these dumb
asses that said all's done his full okay stop, never
his fault. I know, no accountability but he was. He
was not so good yet again under center, not particularly good.
(04:05):
The better story in the losing locker room. So why
don't we start with that, and let us discuss the
question is how much of these struggles are on the
shoulders of Daniel Jones and how much of them are
on the offensive line for the Giants. So I've got
looney tunes, politicians, and genetics, and we will combine all
(04:28):
of these things together and those will be the building
blocks of this Mallord monologue. So, hey, Daniel Jones, he
was absolutely under siege. He was. But they say those
who know that life comes at you fast in the NFL.
And with that being said, the scales of blame, the
(04:49):
matherer scales of blame are leaning on the side of
the quarterback. A lot of people love to blame the
offensive line. They like to blame the fat guys. That's
shaming the offensive line. But you're never going to be
able to lay in a hammock in the pocket and
surf the internet on your smartphone as a quarterback. And
(05:11):
that's just not how life operates. And was the Giants
offensive line great in this game? No, Cowboys have a
pretty good pass Russ is it true that Daniel Jones
continues to get squallowed up by pressure? One hundred percent
under right? And when it comes to decision making, and
this is the thing that people aren't talking about with
Daniel Jones that you're not going to hear a lot
(05:33):
of places, but you will hear here. The decision making
of Daniel Jones is so horrific. That's the bug a boo, Right,
that's it. And you can't figure that out That giants
have been trying for years. They brought in every coach,
they all had great resumes, and they're like, okay, we
can fix the decision making, meaning the timing, and Daniel
(05:54):
Jones continues to be like a Looney Tunes character, slow
Poke Rodriguez, the cousin of Speedy Zalas. Right, he sits
back there, he's slow la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la. And I
often locks in on one receiver and then eventually we'll
try to go to somewhere else. But it turns out
(06:14):
to be a very stagnant situation. That has been the
kryptonite for Daniel Jones, and the coaches continue to try
to codify that part of his game. There and they
have failed. Every one of them has come in and
talked a good game, and every one of them has
walked out with their tail between their leg. All right, now,
(06:34):
page two, who's playing quarterback for the Giants in twenty
twenty three? Because it ain't gonna be this guy, right,
it ain't gonna be this guy, So who's it gonna
be that? Looking into the crystal ball, Reading the body
language on the sidelines, it's fair to say that Brian
Dable was having a coronary now. He was spitting mad
(06:56):
at the officials. There were some shaky whistles for both
sides in this game, the human element, bad officiating. But
as far as the quarterback position is concerned, this is
something he inherited. He didn't want this. It came with
the property. Brian Davil wanted to be a head coach
and this is the booby prize that he had to
take was Daniel Jones. And while it is still early on,
(07:20):
and you say it's only been three games, and he
did look okay, Daniel Jones in the first game of
the year, for example, I'm not I'm not there and
I don't know the Giants aren't there. They're like, okay,
we just wanted to make sure. Now it's kind of
you want to make sure this this thing you bought
sucks before you get rid of it. You gotta get
every chance in the world. And there he was, Daniel Jones.
(07:44):
He got the ball back in this game with a
chance to have a signature moment in the football game,
down by a touchdown, minute forty five left, down by
a score, and how did the Giants do? Did they
matriculate the ball down the field, the long drive, come
close to scoring a touchdown and get burned by the
referees No three three snaps and then a game ceiling
(08:07):
interception thrown to Trevon Dish, good evening, A good afternoon,
good night. You know the deal there, And that's how
it went. And so we're three games into a seventeen
games screen test for Danny Dimes. This is literally and
figuratively a dummy run and Daniel Jones being the dumb
(08:28):
dumb dumb dum dumb dumb yet again, he's acting more
like a politician, those pesky politicians. Daniel Jones is the mayor,
and he's kind of a mayor that you don't want
to be because he's the mayor of Barf City. That's
Daniel Jones, and all the moles and awards popped up
looked like a vintage performance from any of the last
(08:50):
couple of years for Daniel Jones. In this game, he
did run for a lot of yarts, He ran for
a lot of yards, nine quarterback runs, but the throws
were pixelated in a fog. And the Giants are giving
Daniel Jones this one last supper right out of the Bible,
the last supper. They didn't pick up the extension him
(09:12):
an extension, didn't even think about giving him an extension.
There's like, all right, we'll bring it back for one
more year, and it's a casting call. Unfortunately, there is
a supply shortage of many products that we use daily
in a finite number of quarterbacks. And you have a
handful of good quarterbacks, you got a handful of second
tier quarterbacks which you can win a Super Bowl with,
(09:32):
and then you've got hot dog filler that pink slime
all over the NFL. Shout out Geno Smith, Mattie Ice,
Marcus Mariota, Jabos Winston. We can go on and on.
Jared Goff, a lot of that pink slime playing quarterback
around the NFL. All right, last word here, So let's
go over to the Cowboys. Has Cooper Rush created a
(09:56):
quarterback controversy in Dallas? I pumped the brakes on that one.
Let's pump the brakes now. Now. Rush's overall performance, if
you just look at the overall body of work generic,
he was pretty mediocre to bad in the first half
of the game. He saw the game, you know what
I'm talking about. Second half he was good. But this
is not the reincarnation of Roger Staubach. Jerry Jones was
(10:21):
talking to talk last week, but he's not going to
walk the walk. They haven't changed the gate code to
get into Jerry's world just yet. Dak Prescott is going
to get that big chair back. He's going to get
his card to get into the facility. And the thing
that Rush has succeeded no one can disagree with this
is that Cooper Rush what he has been able to
(10:43):
do here is succeed at planting a seed that being
a pest. The thing that Cooper Rush appears to do
well is the weak spot for Dak Prescott. Dak's a
great stat bandito and puts up good fantasy stats and
the people that play fantasy football. I think he's better
than he is. But those end of game situations, right,
(11:06):
that's a problem and so far small sample size. But
Cooper Rush is shown the genetics, right, the genetics are
there their fourth quarter. Cooper Rush in this game completed
eighty percent of his passes, had a touchdown, had a
quarterback rating of over one hundred and twenty, unencumbered by
the pressure of the moment. Now part of that is
(11:29):
because there's no expectations. Nobody expects anything from Cooper Rush,
and he's been extremely good at end of game drives,
fourth quarter under pressure, cool under pressure, does not show
flop sweat like Dak Prescott. Remember Dak in the playoffs
against the forty nine ers the Cowboys driving down wildcard weekend,
(11:49):
trying to get in and how that workout. I ran
out of time. The clock ran out as Dak was
trying to navigate the two minute offense. And so this
does present something the next time Dak is going to
come back, and assuming he plays all right, it's the
end of game situation against the Eagles or next time
they play the Giants. If he screws that up, then Allbviously,
(12:12):
we'll wait a minute. We got a guy that doesn't
usually screw that up, and he's already on the payroll,
So what are we doing here? What's that all? All right,
let's hear from some of the participans who go back
to the Giants the losing locker room. Better story there
in the losing locker room. Brian Dable, the rotund coach
of the Giants, and of course he's a waxing poetic
(12:34):
and ripping the fat guys up front. Yeah, you never
want to have your quarterback yet, but I'd say he
takes care of himself. Again, the more you can keep
him off the quarterback, the better for the quarterback. And
then you know, he's athletic enough to make some loose plays,
and you know there might be some hits in there
when he's scrambling. But yeah, there's no question we got
to do a better job of protecting him. Yeah, of
(12:56):
course we shall should point out the Cincinnati Bengals, who
had a historically terrible offensive line last year, won the
American Football Conference and got to the Super Bowl. So
this is what's known as excuse making by the people
protecting the quarterback. The cool kids, the quarterbacks. All right,
here's more. Let's hear from Danny Dimes himself, and he
wants to throw out rose pedals to the Dallas Cowboy defense.
(13:20):
Played hard? Oh, it played hard? Yeah. I think there's
things we can all do better with that, and that
starts with me and you know, finding space to step up,
finding space to move around the pocket and make some plays.
So I'll study that and we all will. But credit
to them. They're good front, they're good defense. Could they
played hard? I was worried they weren't going to play hard.
(13:40):
The millions of dollars they're making, I was concerned they
might decide this is the night we're not going to
play hard. I would like to see the players rock
hard coaches come out and say, by the way, we
really didn't play hard this week. We decided not to
play r this is the game we're not going to
play hard in. That would be good. The fact that
you have to say that you played hard tells me
that you don't play hard. There are games you don't
(14:00):
play hard. Otherwise you wouldn't have to say it. It
would be a given that you play hard and you
don't play hard all the time. Because you said we
played hard. If you didn't play hard all the time,
then that's why you would say we played hard to
let people know we played hard under attack. Is there
a palace coup going on in the NFL's it already underway?
(14:21):
We'll get to that eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.
We will get to that, and we will do it next.

Fame second Baseman, Blue Jays Orioles. He was best known
for spitting in the face of an umpire more wonderful
answers just like that on Mallor's Mountain Muddy coming up
an hour or three of this very program at outlive
from the Tirack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's
Bett Maller, just Josh and Cincinnati says, keeping up with
(15:27):
the Joneses, Eric and Boston a monologue. Daniel Jones is
on borrowed time. Taylor will replace him sooner than later.
It's a miracle. The Giants are two and one. They're
winning in spite of Jones. Well, the same argument that
was made about the Raiders that there are three plays
away from being three and oh, the Giants are two
plays away from being oh and three. So the Tennessee
(15:51):
Titans took a dump on the field there in Game
one and the second half, and the Carolina Panthers incompetence
unable to make a game winning play. There a field
goal win for the Giants over a poor Carolina team.
Alf the alien Opina rights and says a plus plus
on the Malar monologue, you're shout out of a shout
(16:14):
out of a cannon or shot out of a cannon
right out of the gate. When you hit us with
slow polk Rodriguez. I did not see that one coming
when I woke up today. Well, really the underrated When
you think of the Looney Tunes, everyone knows Speedy Gonzalez,
but the cousin slow Polk Rodrigue. How many people, you know,
(16:38):
even people who are of a certain age to remember
the Looney Tunes in there. Hey, they don't know slow
Polk Rodriguez. But that was the cousin of Speedy Gonzalez.
Steve Meatballs right since says, no, man, you've got it
all wrong. Meatballs rights in from Florida. Saying that they
played hard wasn't a confirmation of the effort they exerted.
It was an excuse, you know, like they played with
(16:59):
heavy hearts, or they played with various injuries. They played
hard ouch, So he said, who else? Benito the Cowboy
fan says a plus plus on the Malar monologue. Bro
Cooper Rush ain't nothing but a game manager. He's keeping
the seat warm for Dak when he comes back, which
(17:21):
is going to be win like Nick's next week, two
weeks away or something like that. Yeah, all right, let's
go to the phones. And the Cowboys played, and so
that means a bunch of guys calling up with cowboy monikers.
Let's say hello to Cowboy Dan, who's here to take
a victory lap. Hello, Cowboy Dan, how about those cowboys? Yeah?
(17:42):
How about him? Cowboy? Yeah? I didn't hear from you
the start of the year. I was worried about I said,
what happened to cowboy Day? Yeah? I would have called
him last week. We won last week too, but I
just spaced it out. It's been so long, man, it's
good to hear your voice and shout out to Eddie Garcia.
You know, well, you don't need to shout You don't
need to shout him out. There's don't need to shout
him out. That's not necessary here. But Cowboy Dan, you
(18:04):
are the person we often reference when we talk about
the cowboy hostile takeover the radio show. That is you,
Cowboy Dan, who very rarely, almost never calls up when
the cowboys taking on the chain, but when they win,
you are the first one here, first one here. You
know what they did tonight, the first of all they
(18:25):
won on the road. You got to do that to
be eligible. Wow, it's very tough to beat the giants
on the road. That is such a great home field
advantage they have in New Jersey. It's they almost never
lose the Giants in that stadium, and they play in
their division. The Cowboys won in their division. It's an
amazing night, one of the great nights in the history
of the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboy Dan, DeMarcus Lawrence, how about that?
(18:48):
You want to random shoutouts to different defensive players? Is
that what we're gonna do now? You like that three
sacks or DeMarcus and shout out to Trayvon Diggs for
that game ending interception? Yeah, well the paul was thrown
right at him. You know, the receiver fell down. So
so I have a question for you, and I'll sign
off with this. Ben You know, Dak Prescott or Cooper Rush. Well,
(19:12):
it's going to be Dak Prescott because he's got the contract.
But what do you, Cowboy Dan? Though you're the cowboy apologist,
you're the cowboy homer. Who does Cowboy Dan? Let's give
Cooper a shot, he's earned it. Are you calling for
the benching of Dak Prescott right now? He's already on
the bench. No, But when he comes back, are you
calling for him to be benched? Is he coming back? Yes,
(19:33):
he's coming back next week. Next week. I know I
know that. Jerry. Jerry Jones. I'm looking at my phone.
J Jerry just text me, Jerry. We're good friends, me
and Jerry Jones. He just text me. All right, tell
you I gotta thank you. All right, Go ahead, Cowboy Dan,
Let's say hello to America's favorite drag queen caller in Buffalo,
(19:57):
devastated that the Bills will not go seven teen and
old Flexus. Hello, Flexus, It's great getting porn. I'm telling you.
I'm telling you, it's good for porn. Hello Ben, Hello, everybody.
Let me tell you about those Cowboys. They win one
game and they think they're going to Stiva Bowl. Those
(20:18):
Cowboys stink and their division stinks. They're not going nowhere, baby,
and they give it up to the coats in the
Apples coat that has been They were fantastic yesterday. My
Buffalo Bills, Hey, don't beat them up. I don't care
(20:39):
how many games you could beat, nine to seven or
sixteen old Yeah, they're going to the playoffs and the
happening playoffs and the Apples beat New England when New
England was sixteen. A Babe Manning and you ain't Baby Manning,
but they won that Super Bowl. You're on a roll there, Felexis.
(21:00):
Let me tell you something. I'm going beard, Who are
you most upset at right now? Flexus? Who do you
want to punch? If you could punch anybody, who would
you want to punch? You? Got you? I want well
Danny Gez, the man that produces the podcast. I'm sure
(21:22):
Danny will put you on that podcast and we'll do it.
Yeah right, all right? How about this? Flexs email me?
I don't can anyone put up with Flexus' amazing voice
for thirty minutes in a podcast? I don't know what happy? Happy?
That Jewish? That's the new year? Thank you very you're
(21:43):
a good jew unless you're not? Yes, all right, thank you?
All right, I gotta go, all right, go go away.
All right, We're off to a flying start, unless we're not.
Justin and Cincinnati right since says shout out to cowboy Dan.
(22:04):
He's a douche with a negative IQ, says Justin, who
may or may not know all about that? Valls fan
Jimmy says, do not rush to judgment. That will be back.
Dak will be back. He said that, but I think
he meant Dak will be back against the Rams and
they will win and everything will be okay, unless it
(22:25):
is not. I like that Dak's name is so odd
that when you type it in on your phone, it
replaces it with that Dak become. Apparently that's what happened
with my guy Valls fan Jimmy. Be sure to catch

a long time before. Being honest, but were you at
the Pro Bowls? I was at the last last I
was at one in Hawaii years ago. I wish they
gave me a shovel to put some dirt on it,
because that was one of the worst sporting events I've
ever been at. I had no idea because I stopped
watching it like five years ago. Yeah, and then I
didn't realize that they they went from like a little
(23:54):
bit of tackling to like no tackling a flag football
for Yeah, so they're going to replace it, they flag
football game. My favorite memory of the Pro Bowl though,
when I covered it for a syndicated an outfit years
ago and they flew me into Hawaii and I'm so
I did. I did like local Pro Bowl show in Honolulu,
and the local guys who did sports radio were so
(24:15):
excited to have the Pro Bowl players on, and many
of them were complaining about how far the flight was
from the East coast of the United States to Hawaii.
It was hilarious. I Mean, one importation was Hugh Douglas,
remember him from the Yeah, and he just he complained
the entire time about how terrible the travel was to
(24:35):
get to Hawaii. It was hilarious. I still remember, all
these years later. I'm still laughing my ass off. Did
you see who they put in charge of running the
Pro Bowl? I did see. The guys got a big forehead, Eddie. Yeah,
Peyton Manning and his Omaha production company. I didn't know
he had an Omaha production company. It sounds like inside
of trading to me, Eddie, I don't know how those
politicians hire a friend. I don't know any charge of
(24:58):
this thing. I don't know those Yeah. Yeah, that's why
politicians get elected campaign donations, and then when they get
into the office, they scratched the back of the people
that helped them out a little bit, you know. I see, Yeah,
that's interesting. I've read about that online. Yeah, all right,
thank you for that. Eddiet. Is the Bennet Maller Show.
As we continue on as the Monday night football game
(25:21):
in the book, we've talked about that a lot this
hour at the beginning, as the New York Giants go down, Now,
is there a palace coup going? You're on dateline Pittsburgh, PA.
Outrage Outrage in the Steel City, as there are reports
(25:42):
into Kitty a Kurf fluffle in the Steeler locker room.
Are they upset with Mike Tomlin, No, no, they are not,
but very upset with the offensive coordinator, Matt oh Kind,
and the reporting outside there in Pittsburgh people saying that
(26:03):
the players are not happy with the play calling and
they're not happy with the play caller. And so there
are reports in the echo chamber claiming that while no
one has publicly come out and announced that they would
like a change, behind the scenes, like snakes in the grass,
(26:25):
they are lurking and they are feeding information to Pittsburgh
Steeler media that they're not happy. Now this, Eddie, I
know this from when I was a radio stringer. This
is the easiest story to write. The easiest story to
write is this story. I'll tell you why. Okay, First
(26:48):
of all, you take a team that is not playing well.
So when things aren't going well at the office, there
are people that are upset on the team. So that's easy.
And at any given moment, you can find a group
of players that do not like a coach. You can't,
it's easy. You can. Also, it depends on what your
(27:09):
your agenda is, Like you could also find people on
the Steelers offense if you wanted that think that Matt
Canada is a great coach and that it's not his problem.
He's calling a great game. It just depends on what
the narrative you want to throw out is. But it's
an easy story, right now. Do I think this guy's
(27:31):
knows what he's doing and doing a good job. No,
I don't. I think the Steeler offense is archaic. But
I saw those those stories bouncing around a tension in
the steel City, and Mike Tomlin has to mine. Now.
I has never gotten rid of an offensive coordinator during
a season. He is loyal to a fault there in Pittsburgh.
(27:52):
All right, Ben Mallers Show on Fox, and let's say
hello to moving Man Matt with the mobile Mallard bill
board coming to a city near you, and a long
time New York Giant lapdog. Hello moving Man Matt, Hello
Big Ben. You know, congratulations the Cowboys, it's their closest thing.
(28:12):
They're gonna get to a super Bowl. I guess yes,
being the Giants is like a super Bowl, and else
it's not, well, you know, I mean, if you judge
by social media, I mean, oh, they're back. They're back.
You know, it's been his ninety six, but come on,
their joke the biggest choking dog franchise there ever was like, congratulations,
you got a week three win. The Giants offensive line
(28:36):
is hot garbage, and h are you gonna offer now?
Right now? Will you be offering your services to the
Giants offensive lineman if they'd like to relocate out of
the tri state area there in New New Jersey, New York?
Can you can you offer their services your services so
they can move somewhere else. I mean, it's been twenty
some one years since I put the gear on, but
I'm pretty sure I can block better than some of
(28:58):
them still. Well, not only that to play, and then
you can put all their stuff in your truck and
move them to another city, is what I'm saying. Oh yeah,
that's a big money right there. Big money different We
have different pricing for that kind of stuff. Oh is
that right? Huh? You you have a certain rate that
when you when you see professional athlete, your eyeballs get
(29:19):
like saucers. Is that what you're saying? It's uh, because
the franchise is the one paying for it. So yeah,
there's a certain pricing regime that takes Remember, I got
I got an insight track with someone that's on an
NFL equipment staff that um that helps me out with
some of those did okay, all right, well that's good. No,
(29:40):
it is true. The company does pay for It's like
I remember we worked. Pat O'Brien used to work here,
big TV guy, Pat O'Brien, and when Pat would travel
for CBS or wherever he was working for, he would
stay at the presidential suite at the hotel. And he
told me, he said, yeah, it's just a tax ride
off for the company. They're not I'm not paying for it.
They're not really paying for it either, So you always stayed.
(30:03):
Al Michaels does that too. Al Michael's is legendary for
running up the expenses. So I got asked to put
a bid in for Joe Judge, and I was very
happy to offer my services to get him out of town. Yeah,
but then you'd have to you'd have to listen to
him a talk if he came with you. Man, that
guy doesn't shut up, that Joe Judge. I think I
went a little a little too much for the throat
(30:23):
with that price in this summer when I gave him
the quote. But yeah, that guy's got a lot of stuff.
Joe Judge has a lot of things. He's not that
old guy. How does he have a lot of stuff?
It would not fit in my trailer, would would into
a second trailer. Oh man, he's a hoarder. That sounds
like a hoarder. Get help, Joe Judge. You can't take
