Speaker 1: The following.
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 3: Cowboys.
Speaker 2: This is Girls Talk, Boys Talk, presented by Jigsaw Dating,
Speaker 2: preferred dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys, and broadcasting live
Speaker 2: from Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at the Star.
Speaker 3: Well. Good morning, everybody, Happy September. We are officially in
Speaker 3: football season. September feels like football. Welcome to Girls Talk,
Speaker 3: Boys Talk, presented by Jig South, the preferred dating partner
Speaker 3: of the Dallas Cowboys. I'm Jessnavars, joined alongside Aisham Morrison
Speaker 3: and Christie Scales Ladies Virgo season.
Speaker 4: We talked about this earlier.
Speaker 3: But something about September feels like ball and it is
Speaker 3: right around the corner of the regular season.
Speaker 4: Next week officially we go back to.
Speaker 3: Our regular time slot. So exciting things are starting to
Speaker 3: feel real. So let's kick things off. Let's start with
Speaker 3: our text line. If you have any questions throughout the show,
Speaker 3: you can text us is at eight one seven, two
Speaker 3: nine zero three two nine eight. We're inte calls in
Speaker 3: the second line today. We want to hear from you
Speaker 3: ahead of the season as well, so that will be
Speaker 3: exciting practices this week. We talked earlier in the week
Speaker 3: about what we saw at practice. It's not a little
Speaker 3: bit of practice yesterday as well, but I think more importantly,
Speaker 3: we talked to a lot of the guys and we
Speaker 3: got a lot of good insight ahead of next week.
Speaker 4: So let's talk about it. Christy, I'm gonna refer to
Speaker 4: you first.
Speaker 3: What was one of the main takeaways from this week's
Speaker 3: worth of practices for you?
Speaker 5: Well, besides it being switched to the morning just to
Speaker 5: get out of the heat, No, it was funny actually
Speaker 5: like real scout team stuff, real actual preparations for the
Speaker 5: New York Giants, And of course they've been the past
Speaker 5: few weeks. The first team has been working on stuff
Speaker 5: that you're going to see in the game plan against
Speaker 5: New York. But we've gone from a player evaluation through
Speaker 5: that final preseason game, especially at the young guys, and
Speaker 5: now preparation for the Giants.
Speaker 6: And I'm excited. I can't wait.
Speaker 5: And one of the reasons that we're going back is
Speaker 5: just mentioned to the regularly scheduled time for Girls Talk,
Speaker 5: Boys Talk, is because the Cowboys are going back to
Speaker 5: their more normal practice schedule, having their practice start late
Speaker 5: morning rather than first thing at eight am just to
Speaker 5: try to beat the heat.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, just that it's starting to get real, starting
Speaker 7: to feel.
Speaker 4: That football coming.
Speaker 7: But when I was watching practice the other day, it's
Speaker 7: not even it's even anything, just outh the ordinary, but
Speaker 7: you can tell that it's sped up, that things they're
Speaker 7: picking up. And that's why the install period with the
Speaker 7: OTA's Mini Camp training camp is so important for these
Speaker 7: young guys because, Babe, when it started going, we ain't
Speaker 7: got time to wait around for you. You're going to
Speaker 7: have to excel. So I'm starting to get excited in myself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 7: Literally, like I literally was thinking about it last night.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, it's about to happen, Like.
Speaker 7: Football's come and like football's about to be here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of those things you wake up in
Speaker 3: the morning, August slipped away and you are officially in September.
Speaker 3: It just feels like football season. It really does. Mike
Speaker 3: McCarthy said in his press conference yesterday that this week
Speaker 3: they were working on third down normal and distance, and
Speaker 3: then next week they're going to start working in the
Speaker 3: red zone come Monday. But they are in game prep
Speaker 3: and that's something that McCarthy's been saying even well before
Speaker 3: this week was he started to look at the Giants
Speaker 3: ahead of the last preseason game against the Raiders.
Speaker 4: Even so exciting stuff there.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about other things Mike McCarthy said this week,
Speaker 3: because Trey Lance, we officially got to see him geared
Speaker 3: up in that number fifteen Jersey. We talked about that
Speaker 3: in our last episode.
Speaker 4: But Christy a little nugget.
Speaker 3: And it's funny because when we're in those press conferences,
Speaker 3: you can tell when Mike McCarthy says something interesting because
Speaker 3: it's like all of our ears kind of perk.
Speaker 4: Up a little bit.
Speaker 3: And I specifically saw you when he said this. He
Speaker 3: talked about Trey Lance in the quarterback meeting room, and
Speaker 3: so I would love for you to talk about this
Speaker 3: because I think it's so interesting and it says a
Speaker 3: lot about Trump.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the reference that Mike McCarthy used was that Trey
Speaker 5: Lance in the quarterback meeting room.
Speaker 6: It was like a beautiful mind.
Speaker 5: And that's the Russell Crowe movie, the real life mathematician
Speaker 5: there and just it's a great visual in the movie
Speaker 5: where he's writing things down, but even just looking at
Speaker 5: out the window and all the formulas and all the
Speaker 5: mathematical calculations are popping up like on the window and
Speaker 5: things like that.
Speaker 6: So so yeah, you're right, Jess, I kind.
Speaker 5: Of parked up and because I was visualizing Trey Lance there.
Speaker 5: He's obviously a young, bright, bright, young mind, and I
Speaker 5: could just see all of these little you know, the
Speaker 5: route combinations and things just like floating over his head,
Speaker 5: like the numbers with Russell Crow in the movie A
Speaker 5: Beautiful Mind.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and something else that he mentioned. Nisha, We're going
Speaker 3: to talk about this because we have talked since last
Speaker 3: season about Terrence Steele and the injury that occurred for him,
Speaker 3: and how we've talked about it on the show before,
Speaker 3: how amazing it is for him to be as far
Speaker 3: as he is ahead of his schedule less than a
Speaker 3: year after the injury, to already be suiting up and
Speaker 3: getting ready to take the field come week one of
Speaker 3: the regular season. During Mike McCarthy's press conference, he said
Speaker 3: that he's never seen a recovery like that. He talked
Speaker 3: about Terrence not ever missing a day, and he said,
Speaker 3: it's just Terrence. He's the same every time, every day
Speaker 3: doing the rehab, feels like he never left and then
Speaker 3: what I really liked is that he said he's a
Speaker 3: no nonsense glue guy. That's a very big statement from
Speaker 3: a head coach Aisha during this time. And you know,
Speaker 3: we'll even go back to OTA's mini camp through training
Speaker 3: camp to now, what is the progression you've seen from
Speaker 3: Terrence and how does that make you to see what
Speaker 3: he's capable of building off of from where he left
Speaker 3: off the last time he was on the field.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, absolutely, he really did just pick up where
Speaker 7: he left off, which brought me to like, anytime I've
Speaker 7: gotten a chance to talk to Terrence, I'm asking about
Speaker 7: his diet, I'm asking about his regiment. I'm asking about
Speaker 7: like because I'm trying to rationalize it myself as someone
Speaker 7: that like watch watch watches football as much as we do,
Speaker 7: and it has to watch it in depth, like an
Speaker 7: ACL injury is typically it takes time, and we even
Speaker 7: saw Michael Gallup it takes time. But this guy has
Speaker 7: come out. He's getting to the second level. He's lead blocking,
Speaker 7: like you worried about maybe.
Speaker 6: When you see a guy with the brace on.
Speaker 7: I think I tweeted this, it's like you normally see
Speaker 7: a guy with the braceon and you think that's going
Speaker 7: to change how mobile they're gonna be or just how
Speaker 7: fast they can get off the ball in angles and stuff.
Speaker 6: But I asked him, I was like, has the brace
Speaker 6: helped you?
Speaker 7: And he was like, obviously, it gives you a little
Speaker 7: bit more peace of mind, But he's talked about it
Speaker 7: doesn't it's not something that changes. It just gives him
Speaker 7: a little bit more. But he was telling me that
Speaker 7: it not being on the leg he kicks with, gives
Speaker 7: him almost like extra stability on his lead leg, you know.
Speaker 6: And he was like, I think.
Speaker 7: He feels stronger on his get off, you know, getting
Speaker 7: off the line because he has that brace. And so
Speaker 7: just to even see that he's looked at the positives
Speaker 7: in it and figured out a way to well, I
Speaker 7: thought it was just interesting. I've never heard a player
Speaker 7: say that, because he told me like, Tyron wears one
Speaker 7: on the other leg and but Tyron doesn't feel that
Speaker 7: way and it's because it's on.
Speaker 6: The leg he kicks with right.
Speaker 7: And so I was like, that's just interesting that he
Speaker 7: can turn something like that into a positive and then
Speaker 7: also use it to his advantage. I'm just so I'm
Speaker 7: so impressed with him and his progression and I think he,
Speaker 7: like you said, the glue, he is a foundation of
Speaker 7: this offensive line.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. I know it was a lot, but I.
Speaker 4: Just I'm I apologize.
Speaker 7: I just to see him. I just I've never seen
Speaker 7: anything like this. I was like, did you contact the wakandans?
Speaker 7: Did y'all have some conversations.
Speaker 4: The funny thing is she tells him that, like.
Speaker 7: I say that, he left.
Speaker 5: So what we need to do is ask Terrence to
Speaker 5: bring into it and maybe it's in his locker in
Speaker 5: the little cabinet and locker. He probably has it at home.
Speaker 5: But Terrence was one of two players to receive the
Speaker 5: Golden Whistle Award in the off season, and so this
Speaker 5: year and talking with Harold, who's the strength and conditioning
Speaker 5: coordinator this year, Harold thought it would be fun in
Speaker 5: addition to the gold whistle which has the names on it,
Speaker 5: jay Ron Curse, by the way, was the other player
Speaker 5: to win the Golden Whistle Award this year, that they
Speaker 5: included a little trophy as well. So let's let's ask
Speaker 5: Terrence if he has it at home, to bring his
Speaker 5: golden whistle and golden and his trophy. But I do
Speaker 5: want to mention one thing about the braces, knee braces,
Speaker 5: And it's interesting to see the approaches that the different
Speaker 5: coaches have brought over the year. So for example, Bill
Speaker 5: Parcells when he was here, he it was mandated that
Speaker 5: the offensive linemen and defensive linemen wore knee braces on
Speaker 5: both knees, and it was thought that it would help
Speaker 5: avoid injury. So not just the extra stability, you know,
Speaker 5: like Tyren and Terrence say, or Terrence says that it
Speaker 5: helps helps him with it pushing off on that leg.
Speaker 6: But they didn't have a choice back then when it
Speaker 6: was when it was Bill Parcells was the head coach.
Speaker 5: But of course most of the players don't wear them
Speaker 5: unless they've had some kind of injury situation.
Speaker 6: But I remember those years where they had to wear them.
Speaker 3: Very good nuggets here, ladies. The text line is open
Speaker 3: for questions. And with the Dallas Cowboys coming off of
Speaker 3: two consecutive seasons of twelve and five, you know, it's
Speaker 3: about that time we start talking about potential records and
Speaker 3: expectations for the season. It is that time officially, But
Speaker 3: we had a question come in from the text line
Speaker 3: that I thought would be a little interesting bit of
Speaker 3: conversation because we know a bit of a drought in
Speaker 3: Dallas that these guys more than anybody, they're ready to
Speaker 3: break it.
Speaker 4: They're ready to break that drought.
Speaker 3: The question is this an NFC championship or bust season
Speaker 3: for Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott overall expectations for the team.
Speaker 3: I wish this person would have said their name because
Speaker 3: they said love the show, ladies, and we appreciate that,
Speaker 3: so thank you whoever sent that in.
Speaker 4: But expectations based on what you're hearing.
Speaker 3: We'll get into locker room talks and some of the
Speaker 3: conversations we've had with the guys this week in our
Speaker 3: next segment when we're taking some calls.
Speaker 4: But expectations for this team going into.
Speaker 3: Official regular season mode next week, I shall go to
Speaker 3: you and then Wilterford to Christy.
Speaker 7: Expectations. I will say from the time that we had
Speaker 7: the opportunity to come into the locker room and just
Speaker 7: start feeling.
Speaker 6: The players or see feel in their presence.
Speaker 7: Last like I want to say, OTA's mini camp death stuff.
Speaker 7: Since I started, I don't know. There's just an energy
Speaker 7: you can feel about this team right now, and it's
Speaker 7: hard to describe. It's hard to put into words, but
Speaker 7: Micah talked about it is they've they've almost gotten there,
Speaker 7: They've gotten a taste, and they're just gonna keep trying.
Speaker 7: They're just gonna keep I think they're gonna keep making
Speaker 7: strides towards it. I expect this team to have a
Speaker 7: deep playoff from this year, and I'm not worried about
Speaker 7: injuries in the same way unless it's just something catastrophic,
Speaker 7: because I feel like Mike McCarthy for the last two
Speaker 7: years has handled injuries going into the playoffs extremely well,
Speaker 7: and so to me, that is one of the only
Speaker 7: things that could do real things. But then I'm saying
Speaker 7: to myself, this head coach got through not having their
Speaker 7: quarterback for five weeks, not having I mean it was
Speaker 7: I mean, you lost Donovan Wilson at certain points. It
Speaker 7: has been a it's just been it's been an uphill situation.
Speaker 7: But I think they're making They've made so much progress.
Speaker 7: There should be some there should be some good things
Speaker 7: that come out of this year.
Speaker 5: To me, it's like the old Houston Oilers and bum Phillips,
Speaker 5: you know, been knocking on the door and this year
Speaker 5: take it down.
Speaker 6: That's old old reference.
Speaker 5: But yeah, certainly media and fans, no question that two
Speaker 5: consecutive twelve win seasons it's not enough. It's it's getting
Speaker 5: to the NFC Championship game and hopefully beyond. But Ayusu,
Speaker 5: I think you make a great point about the energy
Speaker 5: and the expectations within the room, and that's what's really important,
Speaker 5: and so I agree. You know, you look at what
Speaker 5: they've added on both sides of the ball with Gilmore
Speaker 5: and Cooks and you I think that overall the wide
Speaker 5: receiver corps is better than last year. And yeah, don't
Speaker 5: really see any excuses unless there were some kind of
Speaker 5: injury situation. But you're right the way that they handle
Speaker 5: the injuries entering the playoffs the past two years, they
Speaker 5: were I would say poised among the best in the
Speaker 5: NFL in terms of injury situations entering the playoffs.
Speaker 6: So just what are you thinking? Are you an NFC
Speaker 6: championship game and or beyond.
Speaker 3: Look, I would love nothing more than to tell my
Speaker 3: parents how weird the first year I get to cover
Speaker 3: the Cowboys and this is what happens last time they
Speaker 3: went to the Super Bowl, and one I was born.
Speaker 3: So I don't know, guys, I would love nothing more
Speaker 3: than to rub that in my parents' faces, especially my dad.
Speaker 4: He would love that.
Speaker 3: But no, I think what I really appreciate about this
Speaker 3: team is, you know, there's a lot of emphasis on the.
Speaker 4: Physical strength and what you're able to do on the field.
Speaker 3: But what I really appreciate and I wish more people
Speaker 3: got to see, is how much Mike McCarthy really cares
Speaker 3: about these guys. How much the entire coaching staff really
Speaker 3: goes out of their way for these guys, and they
Speaker 3: take care of them mentally as well. So not only
Speaker 3: are they mentally or they're physically fit to be on
Speaker 3: the field, they're mentally fit and they're in good places.
Speaker 3: They're in solid mindsets going into the season, and it
Speaker 3: doesn't feel like there's any panic or worry, even for
Speaker 3: the younger guys that are in the room. They have
Speaker 3: these core or these coarse stone men that are there
Speaker 3: with them that have been where they are. They have,
Speaker 3: you know, guys like Michael Gallup to understand what it's
Speaker 3: like to come back from an injury that can mentor them.
Speaker 3: They have guys like Brandon Cooks who gives them advice.
Speaker 4: On their body.
Speaker 3: They have you know, the young tight end room that's
Speaker 3: now ready to amplify, and then on the defensive side
Speaker 3: you have a Micah Parsons and a tank.
Speaker 4: You just have so many.
Speaker 3: Different layers of this team covered really all around, whether
Speaker 3: it comes to good advice and how to take care
Speaker 3: of yourself mentally physically. They all just seem really prepared
Speaker 3: and ready. I don't feel any kind of weird sense
Speaker 3: of hesitation with this team. So look, I just I
Speaker 3: really am excited for.
Speaker 4: What this team is capable of doing.
Speaker 3: And I think they do have a tough schedule, so
Speaker 3: you got you you have to factor that in a
Speaker 3: little bit and be realistic with things. However, this team
Speaker 3: is faced adversity before, and any any adversity that's faced
Speaker 3: throughout the season, I think that they have the strong
Speaker 3: enough glues within them right to make sure they.
Speaker 4: Overcome that real quick.
Speaker 3: We do want to give some injury updates before we
Speaker 3: head to our next segment where we are taking calls,
Speaker 3: So make sure to get your phones ready to start
Speaker 3: dialing those numbers so you can chat with us about
Speaker 3: all things Dallas Cowboys football. Sam Williams he did not
Speaker 3: practice this week, and he exited practice on Wednesday with
Speaker 3: turf toe. As per reports, it's not considered significant. We
Speaker 3: were talking about turf toe before we started recording. Christy,
Speaker 3: what have you seen in terms of turf toe and
Speaker 3: what it can really do?
Speaker 4: Can it be lingering?
Speaker 5: I mean, for sure talk about it, not just through
Speaker 5: the season, but turf toe. And Chris being our producer,
Speaker 5: we were talking about it before.
Speaker 6: Signing on and yeah, Chris Dion.
Speaker 5: Sanders played for years with turf toe, and basically what
Speaker 5: it is, it's when you're bending it the wrong way.
Speaker 5: There are ligaments and tendons and soft tissue in your toe.
Speaker 5: There's also a joint in your toe. It's the MTP joint,
Speaker 5: and so sometimes it can involve that joint. But it's
Speaker 5: very painful. And Chris, you I know, you remember very
Speaker 5: clearly and of all of the positions, not that any
Speaker 5: position is good to have turf toe, but to be
Speaker 5: a cornerback and rely on your.
Speaker 6: Speed and things like that.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, there are different grades. They sometimes say grade one,
Speaker 5: grade two, grade three, And the good news is it
Speaker 5: sounds like Sam's is the lesser of it. But the
Speaker 5: problem is these soft tissue injuries, you know, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: what do you do for turf toe.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, yes, stay off it.
Speaker 5: But guess what, you're a professional football player and that's
Speaker 5: not really an option.
Speaker 6: So gonna be tough.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And Donovan Wilson another guy that we saw I
Speaker 3: practice not participating.
Speaker 4: He was on the side there as well.
Speaker 3: So any updates that we have on donno anything, kind
Speaker 3: of just don't know yet.
Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing with the calf injury, that's the deal.
Speaker 5: We're talking about, soft tissue injury. And that was actually
Speaker 5: the first day of practice, so that was back the.
Speaker 6: Final week of July.
Speaker 5: And so he is such an important catalytic player for
Speaker 5: this defense, you know, even if it's even if he's
Speaker 5: not credited with the force fumble or the fumble recovery
Speaker 5: or the intershiption, usually he's involved somehow, you know, and
Speaker 5: such a great player and in my opinion, one of
Speaker 5: the most underappreciated and underrated players on the entire Dallas
Speaker 5: Cowboys squad. So but again, just something the soft tissue injury,
Speaker 5: something they're just going to have to unfortunately.
Speaker 6: Work there to deal with. Yeah, really all season.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, well, let's go ahead and take our first break
Speaker 3: when we come back. We're getting questions about who we
Speaker 3: think is going to flip the switch and have a breakout.
Speaker 3: You're so something for you guys to think about. In
Speaker 3: the meantime, get your phones ready. We are taking calls
Speaker 3: in the next segment. Can call us at eight eight, eight, eight, five,

Speaker 3: we got a question that had you guys kind of
Speaker 3: steering on. We're talking about it over the break, about
Speaker 3: a breakout season, flipping the switch. Keith from Kentucky wants
Speaker 3: to know who do you think is going to be
Speaker 3: the biggest surprise this year, whether it be Deuce Vaughan, Hunter,
Speaker 3: Lipky Cavante, Turpin, Jake Ferguson, or Damon Clark who's having
Speaker 3: that breakout year. Aisha, you were the first one that
Speaker 3: you were like, I have an idea.
Speaker 4: All right, here's your spotlight.
Speaker 1: My breakout year.
Speaker 7: He's not on that list, but man Tyler Smith at
Speaker 7: guard sounds real good to me, Like, I think that
Speaker 7: Tyler is going to have the opportunity to really display
Speaker 7: his power and just how strong his anchor is. I
Speaker 7: obviously he does it at left tackle, but left tackle
Speaker 7: involves a lot more footwork, and I feel like him
Speaker 7: being able to get in a phone booth and really
Speaker 7: just get into guys. I feel like he's gonna have
Speaker 7: a fantastic year at left guard. If there are no
Speaker 7: moving parts. So he is one of my breakout players.
Speaker 7: And yeah, I think it's going to be all full
Speaker 7: display in this division. You need your interior to be strong.
Speaker 7: I think your interior just got a lot better.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well he was. I thought he was outstanding last year.
Speaker 5: So but breakout in terms of receiving the recognition, yes,
Speaker 5: for sure, because it's hard for linemen to you know,
Speaker 5: get the spotlight, especially when you have so many superstar
Speaker 5: skill players on the Cowboys. But for Keith's as for
Speaker 5: the list provided by Keith, I would say Demoon Clark
Speaker 5: because oh my gosh, what a camp and he was
Speaker 5: so important to this defense towards the end of last year.
Speaker 5: But he is going to be taking names this year
Speaker 5: if he stays healthy. You know, he was coming off
Speaker 5: the neck and it was really something that he was
Speaker 5: even to able to participate last year and his rookie
Speaker 5: year coming off the next surgery and everything. But I
Speaker 5: will say one player that is not on the list,
Speaker 5: but in terms of flipping the switch, and he will
Speaker 5: be our guest on the Cowboy Hour Monday night, six
Speaker 5: o'clock Central, Brad Sham and I have as the first person.
Speaker 6: Jaylen Tolbert come on.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, he just had such an outstanding camp, such
Speaker 5: an outstanding offseason. We talked about him a lot earlier
Speaker 5: in the week, but now I'm not predicting that he's
Speaker 5: going to have fifty or sixty past receptions this year
Speaker 5: because when you have Brandon Cook's and Ceedee Lamb and
Speaker 5: Jake Ferguson, I think it's going to have a great
Speaker 5: year at tight end. Tony Pollard's and ducevonn are going
Speaker 5: to be catching footballs out of the backfield. But Tolbert,
Speaker 5: I think is really going to I don't want to
Speaker 5: miss on Michael Gallup, of course, Michael Gallup, but I
Speaker 5: think Jaalen Tolbert is really going to have a chance
Speaker 5: to contribute this year, and compared to the disappointing season
Speaker 5: that he had last year as a rookie, I think
Speaker 5: he's the guy that flips the switch.
Speaker 6: Oh I love all right, Well who do you have?
Speaker 4: I have Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 3: Oh you know how much that tight end room just
Speaker 3: sings to my soul when it comes to what they
Speaker 3: are capable of doing. I've I've gotten to talk to
Speaker 3: Jake this week. He's somebody that I went to go
Speaker 3: catch up with pretty much every time every time I
Speaker 3: see hi lockerroom, I go talk to Jake.
Speaker 4: He has such a brilliant football mind.
Speaker 3: And he has a way of talking about it that's
Speaker 3: so casual, Like he casually talks about how smart he
Speaker 3: is with football, and I'm like, Jake, what, like, what
Speaker 3: are you talking about? What I love about what I
Speaker 3: love about this room is you talk about a room
Speaker 3: that just brings the energy, brings the fun. And Jake
Speaker 3: is so ready to take on that fearless leader role
Speaker 3: for that room, and he's been.
Speaker 4: He has been.
Speaker 3: I think the glimmers that you saw of him in
Speaker 3: preseason that's nothing compared.
Speaker 4: To what he's ready to do.
Speaker 6: He totally agrees the.
Speaker 4: Yack abilities that this man has.
Speaker 3: He will plow through anybody, or hurdle or hurdle, I mean,
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: Jake Ferguson. When he wants those yards, He's getting those yards.
Speaker 4: And that is that.
Speaker 3: I'm really excited to see what Jake can do, and
Speaker 3: I'm excited for that entire room as a whole. Peyton
Speaker 3: seems ready, you know, Scoon, from what I've talked to him,
Speaker 3: I haven't seen him this week. But from when I've
Speaker 3: talked to him, he's just so ready to go. He's
Speaker 3: so eager, and they all just mesh so well together.
Speaker 3: And of course they credit Lunda Welles so much for
Speaker 3: their growth and development. And you talk about coaches prioritizing guys,
Speaker 3: Lunda absolutely cherishes his job in the terms of he's
Speaker 3: going to take care of his guys. They have his back,
Speaker 3: he has their backs. Jake Ferguson, I'm so excited for
Speaker 3: what Fergie's going to do this year. These guys in
Speaker 3: the locker room, we have all these talks about, you know,
Speaker 3: football life, all the things, and one thing I will
Speaker 3: say is they're just so ready to take on that
Speaker 3: four horseman identity.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I'm glad you mentioned Hendershot too because talking with Linda,
Speaker 5: you know, I was I'm interested to see how they're
Speaker 5: going to utilize hinder shot this year because it may
Speaker 5: be different with what McCarthy is doing Schottenheimer doing with
Speaker 5: the offense. But talking with Linda last year, he thought
Speaker 5: that hindershot, you know, more the way that Blake Jarwin
Speaker 5: was to be used. So I'm wondering if they can
Speaker 5: do that. And as for schoon Maker, don't don't don't
Speaker 5: don't measure his uh what he brings to the offense
Speaker 5: by the number of catches. It's going to be the
Speaker 5: run game. He is going to be so big and blocking,
Speaker 5: uh in the run game.
Speaker 6: So but you're right, yeah, I know about the offensive line.
Speaker 7: This is the first time we're going to get to
Speaker 7: see this offensive line all together. And I'm that's you
Speaker 7: just cause Schoon is really going to be an extension
Speaker 7: of them. I don't think people understands understand how natural
Speaker 7: of a blocker he is. His vision is so good.
Speaker 7: But he's strong. He has a big body. You know,
Speaker 7: we I know, we both all have him impressed with
Speaker 7: just how so how much size he has. But y'all
Speaker 7: just get me excited over here. I mean, it's I mean.
Speaker 4: It's it's yeah football.
Speaker 6: We kicked off this Sunday. Now we got to wait
Speaker 6: nine days.
Speaker 4: Nine days.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Yeah, I'm very excited. I think it's
Speaker 3: going to be something that is absolutely special to watch
Speaker 3: this team come together because you have September football, which
Speaker 3: is everyone's kind of getting their feet on the ground
Speaker 3: getting used to things, and then you have December football
Speaker 3: and that comes that comes quicker than we think, and
Speaker 3: that December football, at this pace that this team has
Speaker 3: been going at, is going to be something special. Don't
Speaker 3: forget you guys can call us with any questions you
Speaker 3: might have.
Speaker 4: At eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
Speaker 3: We're still taking questions from the text line as well,
Speaker 3: if you want to text questions in ladies. We've gotten
Speaker 3: the chance, and we're so fortunate and lucky to do
Speaker 3: what we.
Speaker 4: Do every day.
Speaker 3: And part of that is we get to go in
Speaker 3: the locker room. We get to talk to these guys.
Speaker 3: A couple of guys we got to hear from this week,
Speaker 3: and I was really excited to hear from was the
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys' newest addition to the corner back room, Noah Aggbinoghany.
Speaker 3: And I have practiced that so much to say that.
Speaker 3: Say it again, Noahogany. We got to hear from Noah,
Speaker 3: and it's just.
Speaker 4: The way he talks. He fits right into this defense.
Speaker 3: When I don't know about you, Christy, when we were
Speaker 3: standing there talking and listening to him, he has the
Speaker 3: same mentality as the rest of the defense does. And
Speaker 3: that's not to say Calvin Joseph didn't right, I'm not
Speaker 3: comparing anything. He just seems so excited to be here.
Speaker 3: And what I loved about what he was saying was,
Speaker 3: I didn't even know two days ago I would be here,
Speaker 3: and I was praying for some kind of change in
Speaker 3: my life. I was praying for something, an opportunity, and
Speaker 3: I didn't know I was praying for this and to
Speaker 3: be here two days later. So I really really loved
Speaker 3: Noah's mindset. Christy, we were talking in the locker room
Speaker 3: after he had spoken, or I think it was right before,
Speaker 3: and you told me, I.
Speaker 4: Just learned a little fun fact.
Speaker 3: And when Christy comes at you with a little fun facts,
Speaker 3: you know it's gonna be good. You just know she's
Speaker 3: going to come with something just so great. And so
Speaker 3: what did you learn about his family ties with track?
Speaker 5: Well, Noah's from Alabama, but his parents are from Nigeria
Speaker 5: and they both competed in the Olympics for the Nigerian
Speaker 5: track team.
Speaker 6: So his dad was in the Olympics.
Speaker 5: He was a triple jumper, and he was in the
Speaker 5: nineteen ninety six Olympics in Atlanta representing Nigeria. His father's
Speaker 5: name is Festus and Noah's mother's name is Faith and
Speaker 5: she was a sprinter the four by one hundred relay
Speaker 5: team from Nigeria. I mean, how awesome is that? And
Speaker 5: so she actually competed in the Barcelona Olympics that's nineteen
Speaker 5: ninety two and then so medaled there and then won
Speaker 5: a gold medal in the Commonwealth Games.
Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 5: Noah actually was a track star, but then decided later on,
Speaker 5: you know, to focus on football, and so he actually
Speaker 5: went to Auburn and his freshman year he was a
Speaker 5: wide receiver and after his freshman year is when he
Speaker 5: converted to cornerback and ended up being the first round
Speaker 5: draft pick for the Dolphins in twenty twenty. So this
Speaker 5: is his fourth NFL season, and of course when he
Speaker 5: entered Miami, he's only started five games and played in
Speaker 5: thirty two in his career, so not living up to
Speaker 5: the expectations of a first round draft pick for the Dolphins.
Speaker 5: But you got to remember that what Xavier Byron Jones,
Speaker 5: the former Dallas Cowboy.
Speaker 6: Was a starter there.
Speaker 5: So it's kind of like Trey Lance in terms of
Speaker 5: a first round pick who didn't meet expectations for the
Speaker 5: team by whom he's draft by which he's drafted but
Speaker 5: now has a fresh start with the Cowboys.
Speaker 6: And now Noah he's playing.
Speaker 5: You know, Stepan Gilmour and tray Von Diggs are your starters. Bland,
Speaker 5: it's going to be starting in the nicol Jordan Lewis
Speaker 5: will be backing up in the nicol Let Luise for now.
Speaker 5: So the thing is Noah plays outside, not inside, so
Speaker 5: I don't know how much playing time he's going to get,
Speaker 5: but you're right, Jesse, he was just happy to have
Speaker 5: a fresh start.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: What have you seen from Noah And is there anything
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know how much tape you've watched,
Speaker 3: but is there anything just initial reactions that have stood
Speaker 3: out to you from what you have seen of him?
Speaker 7: Yeah, she already mentioned it.
Speaker 6: Just the speed. The speed is just it's.
Speaker 7: Off the charge. It's very hard not to notice that
Speaker 7: he's stride for stride with guys very often. I like
Speaker 7: some of the things I saw from him.
Speaker 6: Impressed.
Speaker 7: I think what you what you talked about, is that
Speaker 7: he's he's coming in, he's getting a fresh start, similard
Speaker 7: to Trey Lance, and I think for a guy like
Speaker 7: him that stride for stride and maybe what you're looking
Speaker 7: for with him is for him to make plays on
Speaker 7: the ball, you know, and be looking for the ball more.
Speaker 7: He's always dead.
Speaker 5: So he's not doesn't always have his head around, Yeah,
Speaker 5: find the ball.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's it's also too like it makes you
Speaker 7: sometimes when I learned this in the draft, when I
Speaker 7: was watching cornerbacks, it made me appreciate how good Trayvon
Speaker 7: Diggs is because it's not It's a lot more difficult
Speaker 7: than what people think for guys to maintain speed, flip
Speaker 7: their hips and also have the wherewithal like the concentration
Speaker 7: to find the ball in the air or to look
Speaker 7: for the ball or make a play on the ball.
Speaker 7: And we're so used to seeing it here because that's
Speaker 7: what our secondary is being coached. They are well coached,
Speaker 7: and so they also coach turnovers. It is something that
Speaker 7: they emphasize. It's not a mistake, it's not a fluke
Speaker 7: that they've let the.
Speaker 6: NFL and turnovers. So for a guy like him that.
Speaker 7: Has the speed, has the natural instincts, this is an
Speaker 7: opportunity for him to get coaching from some of some
Speaker 7: of the best clearly at.
Speaker 6: Teaching that at teaching that.
Speaker 7: So I'm really looking at him to come in also
Speaker 7: to I would be remiss to not talk about it.
Speaker 6: Special teams play.
Speaker 7: He's very active on special teams. It's played a lot
Speaker 7: of snaps there. So you're also getting another guy get
Speaker 7: that can come meant a filled.
Speaker 6: A void when because kits Calvin Joseph was so cold and.
Speaker 7: The shots gone as well. Yeah, well he's on IR
Speaker 7: as well, right.
Speaker 4: And something something too that.
Speaker 3: So, speaking of ears perking up Christy when we were
Speaker 3: in the scrim with him, you asked him, you know
Speaker 3: you had kick and punt returner abilities in college, you
Speaker 3: were really good at it, and he was really good
Speaker 3: at it at Auburn from twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen,
Speaker 3: he had forty four kick returns for one thousand, one
Speaker 3: hundred and nineteen yards, two kick return touchdowns, and then
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen his highest kick return average was thirty
Speaker 3: five point two yards.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but then, but then what did he say when
Speaker 6: I asked him about.
Speaker 3: You asked him that, and he said, you have a
Speaker 3: great guy in Cavante Turpin instantly, and it was you know,
Speaker 3: it's one of those things that is a reporter you
Speaker 3: ask because it's a great ability to ask about. But
Speaker 3: What I like about it is now you have that
Speaker 3: depth at that position, at the kick returner and punt
Speaker 3: returner position that maybe you were lacking because you know,
Speaker 3: I've been high on uh since since Noah left.
Speaker 4: Since Noah left.
Speaker 3: To the Texans, you don't have that backup guy to
Speaker 3: come on toe Turpin and then Deuspawn comes in. You
Speaker 3: do have Malik Davis on the practice squads. You have options,
Speaker 3: and then now you have another option. You have depth
Speaker 3: there if if you want to get pretty with it
Speaker 3: or if you need to have depth. Something that he
Speaker 3: did mention which I really liked is I wanted to
Speaker 3: ask him about dan Quinn because obviously you know what
Speaker 3: dan Quinn's been doing for this defense no matter what
Speaker 3: team you're on. And he said he felt like dan
Speaker 3: Quinn will let up his game more. And he explained
Speaker 3: that he played a lot of press corner in man
Speaker 3: coverage in college and that he said, that's.
Speaker 4: My feel comfortable doing. Not that I wasn't doing that
Speaker 4: before in Miami, but.
Speaker 3: That's what dan Quinn does and that's how this defense runs.
Speaker 3: So I feel like I can really come up when
Speaker 3: my number is called and do my best here. He
Speaker 3: also thinks that the aggressive, aggressive aggression on the play
Speaker 3: style is something that he is able to mold well
Speaker 3: into I'm really excited.
Speaker 6: I love that because that kind of stock.
Speaker 5: That's like you were talking about Trayvon Diggs making the
Speaker 5: plays on the ball. Well, here's the thing, Noah has
Speaker 5: the same background as Trayvon. Remember Trayvon is a converted
Speaker 5: wide receiver to dB and that's Noah has a similar
Speaker 5: career trick.
Speaker 4: Well, there you go.
Speaker 3: We're going to get into more locker room talks and
Speaker 3: we're also talking about jersey numbers. We'll keep those phone
Speaker 3: lines up in for the third segment. If anybody's wanting
Speaker 3: to call in and ask them ask some questions, you
Speaker 3: can call us at eighty eight eighty five five to
Speaker 3: two nine seven, or if you're a little shy, you
Speaker 3: can send us a text to eight one seven two
Speaker 3: nine zero three two nine eight with all of your
Speaker 3: Cowboys questions, talking jersey numbers changes, and uh.
Speaker 4: Is anyone an agent zero?
Speaker 3: This season we'll find out the Scirls Talk Voice Talk
Speaker 3: presented by Jig South, the preferred dating partner of the
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: At Jigsaw Dating. We obviously want the Cowboys to bring
Speaker 1: that sixth ring home. But to be honest, we're more
Speaker 1: focused on finding the person who'll put a ring on
Speaker 1: your finger.
Speaker 6: That's why we.
Speaker 1: Created a dating app that reveals your face through meaningful
Speaker 1: conversation so you can date deeper, because it's personality that
Speaker 1: matters the most, not looks. Joy and Jigsaw Dating Today,
Speaker 1: dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 6: You know that sound anywhere.
Speaker 8: It's the crisp crunch, the first nacho chip with its
Speaker 8: perfect cheese to sour cream ratio, sitting atop a layer
Speaker 8: of delicious beans. It's a sip away from perfection.
Speaker 4: That's what we're looking for.
Speaker 8: Add a delicious, refreshing pepsi, and we've achieved absolute nacho nirvana.
Speaker 8: Because while you can pile those nachos high with every spicy, cheesy,
Speaker 8: savory topping, there's no topping of cool PEPSI. Finish nachos
Speaker 8: better with pepsi.
Speaker 4: That's what I like.

Speaker 3: you have not checked them out already, go check them out. Okay, ladies,
Speaker 3: we still have some questions rolling in here, and we'll
Speaker 3: get to them in a second. But something I did
Speaker 3: want to make sure to mention.
Speaker 4: One.
Speaker 3: We didn't get into jersey number changes just yet, so
Speaker 3: I wanted to make sure to mention that. And then
Speaker 3: we have some questions to answer. So let's start with
Speaker 3: the jersey number changes. All right, Let's take a little
Speaker 3: time machine back to right before OTAs and the rules
Speaker 3: were changed in the NFL that the number zero could
Speaker 3: be worn by defensive players. And at that point, Micah
Speaker 3: Parsons had tweeted that looks so cool.
Speaker 4: That looks great.
Speaker 3: And anytime Michah tweets something one thing about it, it's
Speaker 3: gonna go viral. And it did so then jay Ron
Speaker 3: Curse tweets back too late, and that started the whole
Speaker 3: conversation of jersey number changes, to which everybody kind of assumed.
Speaker 3: You know, at that point Jaron Curse would change his
Speaker 3: number from twenty seven to zero. OTA's coming around. He's
Speaker 3: still in twenty seven, he said. Logistically, it just didn't
Speaker 3: work out. However, we get our little roster sheets yesterday
Speaker 3: from Dallas Cowboys prs were out in practice, and right
Speaker 3: at the very top of that paper says Jayron Cursed
Speaker 3: jersey number one. My eyes went what And it was
Speaker 3: funny because at the time, Brandon Abrey still learned the jersey.
Speaker 3: They haven't officially switched them yet, they still have to
Speaker 3: get them to the guys. But Brandon Aubrey was wearing
Speaker 3: one at practice and I was like, that's not Jayron
Speaker 3: Curse over their kicking those field goals.
Speaker 4: But let's talk about it.
Speaker 3: So he didn't change to Agent zero de spite the conversation.
Speaker 3: He's going from twenty seven to number one. Brandon Aubrey,
Speaker 3: who was previously wearing that one, is going to seventeen.
Speaker 3: Marquise Bell forty one to fourteen, Hunter Lipke forty three
Speaker 3: to forty. Noah Igbinoghany. He wore nine at Miami. He's
Speaker 3: now gonna wear nineteen with the Cowboys. Sean Harlowe, he
Speaker 3: wore sixty five with the Giants. He has a history
Speaker 3: of sixty four with the Falcons and Cardinals. He'll wear
Speaker 3: sixty five for the Dallas Cowboys. And then let's see, my.
Speaker 4: Notes are spazzing out a little bit.
Speaker 3: Okay, Willington, Pat do you say his last name?
Speaker 4: Christy?
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, hev Leon Prevlon Revlon. It sounds like
Speaker 6: the Duke of s sixty. Yeah, doesn't it. Isn't that
Speaker 6: a character from Dalton Abbey or something?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Willington, that sounds great, a very fancy name.
Speaker 4: Well, he wore ninety three of the Bucks. He's gonna
Speaker 4: be ninety four at the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: So just some jersey changes, jersey number changes to be
Speaker 3: weary of throughout the rest of the season.
Speaker 4: If you see guys and you're like.
Speaker 9: Who is that?
Speaker 6: But I was supprised to, you know. Jay Ron was asked, well,
Speaker 6: what happened with zero?
Speaker 5: Since you said you were going to do it and
Speaker 5: you changed one, and he said Jerry Jones asked that
Speaker 5: nobody takes zero for a couple of seasons. So that's
Speaker 5: what Jayron said. So that's your explanation of why he
Speaker 5: didn't have neither jay Ron nor Miicah nor any cowboy
Speaker 5: it has zero. So yeah, but I like it. I
Speaker 5: think that I think it's gonna look it's going to
Speaker 5: look great. But and the other thing, Kelvin Joseph leaving too,
Speaker 5: because remember we had two number ones with Kelvin Joseph
Speaker 5: and Brandon Aubrey.
Speaker 3: So well, ladies, I love this Jersey number talk. However,
Speaker 3: we have a call from Danny in Camp Pendleton. Danny,
Speaker 3: how are you thinks so much for calling in.
Speaker 9: Hell? Hey, I'm doing good. Real quick question follow up
Speaker 9: to breakout season? Okay, Pro Bowl predictions over under? And
Speaker 9: who do you think will start but won't attend because
Speaker 9: we're going to go to the Super Bowl and win
Speaker 9: it in Vegas. Love love your show, and.
Speaker 3: Ladies, Danny, thank you so much. I love that that's
Speaker 3: a positive. Thank you very sweet. All Right, you heard
Speaker 3: the man. Pro Bowl predictions. Who's having a Pro Bowl
Speaker 3: worthy season?
Speaker 4: Let's start there.
Speaker 5: If Danny's right and no one's playing in it because
Speaker 5: the Cowboys are in the Super Bowl. It means they're
Speaker 5: having an awesome regular season going into December with the
Speaker 5: final vote, so that I would say we'd probably have
Speaker 5: what at least nine or.
Speaker 6: Ten Pro Bowl players. Anyway, let's see, that's what I'm
Speaker 6: looking at for han On. I got it here, so.
Speaker 3: Zach Martin, Ceedee Lamb, Tony Pollard, Marcus Lawrence, Treyvon Diggs,
Speaker 3: Michael Parsons, and Kavanti Turpin.
Speaker 5: Then but then they added Tyler be Audition ended up
Speaker 5: being an injury replacement, so you end up you end
Speaker 5: up with more. So it's going to be great if
Speaker 5: the Cowboys uh the Super Bowl and they can't play
Speaker 5: in the Pro Bowl, because then you know, players Union
Speaker 5: will love that because there'll be a bunch more guys
Speaker 5: getting money to play in the Pro Bowl and replace
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Look, these guys keep talking about, Hey, we're going to
Speaker 3: be in Vegas, so just.
Speaker 4: Get ready for us.
Speaker 3: That during that twenty twenty three season kickoff event, Michael
Speaker 3: Parson said, we're gonna be in Vegas.
Speaker 4: So that's it's pretty funny there.
Speaker 5: I had an event with Dak Prescott on Wednesday evening
Speaker 5: and it was for sleep Number and they were recognizing
Speaker 5: a terrific community volunteer named doctor Rodriguez, and she does
Speaker 5: a lot with cancer screenings in Terren County and the like,
Speaker 5: and so one of the things that she was awarded
Speaker 5: a couple of sleep number beds, which is awesome. But
Speaker 5: then Dak handed her to tickets to the Super Bowl said,
Speaker 5: of course it's in Las Vegas, and I planned to
Speaker 5: be playing there, so you see again in Las Vegas.
Speaker 5: So it was really it was really very cute and
Speaker 5: very sweet.
Speaker 4: Oh I love that.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's continue on. We had another question that I
Speaker 3: know we wanted to address.
Speaker 4: Let's see where is it?
Speaker 3: Okay, I cannot find it now? Oh, here it is, Okay,
Speaker 3: we have from Gerald, he said, great cheer. Ladies know
Speaker 3: that the Dallas Cowboys are short linebacker. Do you think
Speaker 3: they will plan to add any depth to that position?
Speaker 3: And I know we wanted to address this before I
Speaker 3: so two things real quick.
Speaker 7: I one thing I did see had practiced the other day. Granted,
Speaker 7: like we're not sitting. I think that was the longest
Speaker 7: time that I think it was the first day is
Speaker 7: the longest time I think we've gotten to watch Marquis
Speaker 7: Bell like this the thing that they're doing with like
Speaker 7: a linebacker and a safety is a real thing, y'all.
Speaker 6: Like it's a real.
Speaker 7: Thing that dan Quinn does schematically and it works. But
Speaker 7: also I personally wouldn't mind bringing in another well, I
Speaker 7: wouldn't mind if they brought it in another veteran. However,
Speaker 7: if they don't, I think they really speaks to what
Speaker 7: they think about Devin Harper and how well he's played
Speaker 7: and just what comfort level they have in him get
Speaker 7: in these reps. So that's just where I'm at with it.
Speaker 7: But I do think if they don't, it really so
Speaker 7: a lot about what they think about David Harper and
Speaker 7: their safety room that's super deep at this point.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 5: Because Marquise Bell is not listed under linebacker, Michael Parsons
Speaker 5: is not listed under linebacker, you only have four people
Speaker 5: listed at linebacker. But you know, like Ayisha says, Bell
Speaker 5: is really going to be used that way. And the
Speaker 5: one thing I would mention is Malik Jefferson was re
Speaker 5: signed to the practice squad. The Cowboys did lose Jabril Cox.
Speaker 5: We had talked earlier in the week about guys that
Speaker 5: you know they're going to be released but they're going
Speaker 5: to be brought back. We talked about Sean mckun at
Speaker 5: tied end, things like that happened, So Sean mccun is back.
Speaker 5: But Jabril Cox is actually a Washington commander right now.
Speaker 5: So right now there's only one linebacker, Jefferson, on the
Speaker 5: practice squad. But I want to mention one thing about
Speaker 5: bringing in depth, and this isn't.
Speaker 6: Exclusive to the Cowboys. This is across the league.
Speaker 5: The way it works in terms of paying players, if
Speaker 5: you are a vested veteran and meaning four years plus,
Speaker 5: if you are on a roster for the opening game,
Speaker 5: your base salary is guaranteed for the entire season. That's
Speaker 5: if you're on the roster fifty three man for the
Speaker 5: first game. And the reason why you see a lot
Speaker 5: of these veterans get signed after that first game going
Speaker 5: into the second week is teams don't have to guarantee
Speaker 5: their base salary for the entire year. So I just
Speaker 5: want you to know that there's going to be movement,
Speaker 5: and I'm not predicting it with the Cowboys, but you're
Speaker 5: going to see a flood of transactions that take place
Speaker 5: after Game one. These free agents that are sitting out
Speaker 5: there that haven't been signed to a practice squad or
Speaker 5: to a fifty three man They're going to get signed
Speaker 5: to fifty three man after the first week because then
Speaker 5: the teams don't have to guarantee their salary for the
Speaker 5: entire season.
Speaker 3: Okay, point christ O man, we love Christy so so much,
Speaker 3: real quick before we go.
Speaker 4: We are pressed for time.
Speaker 3: However, I couldn't help but ask you before we head
Speaker 3: into Week one of the Dallas Cowboys regular season as
Speaker 3: they take on the New York Giants for Sunday Night football.
Speaker 4: That felt so good.
Speaker 3: To say, who are you most excited to see you
Speaker 3: take the field? And aside from the guys we talked about,
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be a young guy, doesn't no no
Speaker 3: bounds here, I'm leaving this up to you.
Speaker 4: Who are you excited? Just first player that's coming to mind?
Speaker 6: Asia also digazoo.
Speaker 4: How did I know you were going to say? Osa?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I had a feeling that's a man.
Speaker 6: This is what?
Speaker 7: What year is this for him?
Speaker 3: Three?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Three?
Speaker 6: Or four?
Speaker 4: Is it four? I'm destroyed Taylor Swifts on the TV.
Speaker 7: But it's it's it's about that time for Osa and
Speaker 7: you just three three three? This is when it normally
Speaker 7: for a lot of dts man in it. He's got.
Speaker 7: He's also too, gonna get so many, so many more
Speaker 7: one on one opportunities. But yeah, he's that's my that's
Speaker 7: my gay.
Speaker 3: And I was gonna tell you too, because you've mentioned
Speaker 3: kind of this scheme and how how difficult it is
Speaker 3: for guys to pick up.
Speaker 4: I don't know. From what I've seen from Osa in
Speaker 4: the locker room, it looks like his shoulders are down. Oh,
Speaker 4: he's more common. He's walking in the confidence now.
Speaker 7: You can see that a lot more, lots stronger, and
Speaker 7: just his control, his body control looks like it's next
Speaker 7: level right now.
Speaker 5: So we'll see how tickets a lout, all right, Christy
Speaker 5: Brandon cooks. On offense, I mean we haven't seen him
Speaker 5: in a game. He's so fast but so smooth. Gosh,
Speaker 5: his routes are awesome. And on defense, I mean, Michael Parsons,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry that it's so obvious, but he blew up
Speaker 5: every single play of training. Can Yeah, it's almost like
Speaker 5: he is just going to be Oh my gosh, he
Speaker 5: stays healthy this year.
Speaker 6: It's it's going to be off the chain, it really is.
Speaker 3: I am going with Michael Gallup. I'm so excited for MG.
Speaker 3: I finally got to talk to him yesterday and I
Speaker 3: wanted to mention this before we ended the show. He
Speaker 3: told me, he said, I just can't stop smiling, and
Speaker 3: people keep asking me why I'm smiling, and it's because
Speaker 3: it's almost go time and I can come in here
Speaker 3: and I can just do what I love and play football.
Speaker 4: And that's a.
Speaker 3: Reoccurring theme that you've heard from a lot of guys,
Speaker 3: is they're not worried about anything other than playing now.
Speaker 3: And Michael, you know MG, he admittedly struggled with his
Speaker 3: confidence last season and after that after his return in
Speaker 3: Week four against the Commanders last year, he had he
Speaker 3: had that touchdown and then he said it just wasn't
Speaker 3: clicking for him, and he contributes that to Dak Prescott
Speaker 3: not being in, not being able to form that chemistry
Speaker 3: right away.
Speaker 4: Cooper Rush was in.
Speaker 3: At that point, but he said this year, all he
Speaker 3: wants to do is just come in the game, do
Speaker 3: what he loves best. And he's a thousand leaps forward
Speaker 3: from where he was this time last year. Wasn't cleared
Speaker 3: to play this time last year. It's a great choice
Speaker 3: and so he said my favorite quote, and then I'll
Speaker 3: end with this. He said, one of the biggest themes
Speaker 3: that he wants to do this year, he will define
Speaker 3: success by his leadership with the young guys. And he
Speaker 3: said that, you know, obviously I want to play full season,
Speaker 3: but for me this year, it's focusing on the younger
Speaker 3: guys and being there for them and being that leader.
Speaker 6: I'm not great.
Speaker 5: He is a selfless guy. That's that's really good. But
Speaker 5: you know what, none of us said, Deuce Vaughan. There
Speaker 5: are a third of our audience right now going Deuce
Speaker 5: that we didn't say, Deuce.
Speaker 4: That was obvious. Though.
Speaker 7: The good thing is is that we gotta think that,
Speaker 7: we gotta think of so many different guys.
Speaker 4: That's how good problem.
Speaker 3: Absolutely all right, ladies, Well, we are pressed for time,
Speaker 3: but like I said, we'll be back next week starting
Speaker 3: at four o'clock on Tuesday.
