former saints coach great coach great listen 15 minutes from now, Colin Wright, Colin Wrong, in about two minutes. Jay Mack is joining us. He's got two donuts that were downstairs here at the Fox Studios. What a new donuts? You got to sell me out like that. Geez. It is a cheap day. I don't want to admit I'm eating donuts on national television. Well, go ahead. You had a couple of them. Big plateful.

Hey, you know, it's funny, I haven't talked about the Dallas Cowboys in the first hour.

I got some stuff. I'll talk to Sean Payton later. Everybody thinks you have to talk

cowboys. To me, the Bill's Packers was the big game. San Francisco, L.A., the Seattle story. You know, Miami, everybody's freaking out.

But I will say this for Dallas. Yesterday is how they should play, which is lead with your

defense, lead with your run game, and then DAC becomes a great complimentary piece. They got

their tied end back. I still don't trust Mike McCarthy in a big spot. I don't. And C.D. Lamb, they're very reliant on C.D. Lam on the outside to make a great play. If he got hurt, it's not the same team. But there are moments when you watch teams you have doubts about, and we're about the halfway point of the season. I'm like, that's about as well as Dallas can play, and it's the kind of perfect Dallas game where Tony Pollard's now their go-to back, clearly. Zeke is not going to come back next year. I think his contract, isn't his contract up at the end of the year? Jerry Jones loves him so much. I wouldn't bring him back. Tony Pollard's your guy. I'd let him go. And it was like run game

defense. Then when Dak throws on play action, second and four, third and two,

Dak's highly effective. That's Kirk Cousins. If you're asking Kirk to throw in the teeth of a

pass rush at third and 11, it's over. If you're asking Dak to play from behind with no running game, it's over. He can't do that. Mahomes can. But yesterday, that formula for Dallas, when they play with a lead against the kind of, you know, pop gun offense and they lean on defense and Tony Pollard, that's a real football team. Dallas, to me, looks like the third best team in the NFC. Who would you take neutral-site playoff game, Dallas or Minnesota? Minnesota. Really? Kirk Cousins over Dak, huh? Well, I think Kirk Cousins is a less cool version of Dak. I think both guys... Dad Crescott's a better quarterback than Kirk Cousins. What do the numbers say?

Okay, who's got the better defense?

Oh, Dallas. Okay. Well, again, who's got the better coach? I'll take the offensive guy from Minnesota. Do you trust... Seven games into his team? Well, I mean, I'm just saying, we know what Dallas is and we know what they're not. You know what Mike McCarthy is. Unfortunately, I do.

We know what DAC is.
