Welcome into Girls Talk, Boys Talk 6 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: presented by Jigsaw Dating. This is our last show of 7 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: the week, as Jess just tweeted out, but we've got 8 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: big news and we end this one on a high note. 9 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: A little frustrating because those of us at NFL Network 10 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: and I know Haley, you were out there at practice 11 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: all waiting to see what Dak Prescott looked like yesterday. 12 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: As we described to everyone, it was a walkthrough. But 13 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: as Mike McCarthy told us this morning, he had about 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: forty throws in that seventy play mock game. He looked 15 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: good and he was going to get time in with 16 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: the one as they went through practice and again to 17 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: peel the curtain back a little bit. The media only 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: has access to thirty minutes of practice, and so we 19 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: are there very strolled. Yeah, here there the full thirty 20 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: minutes and outcomes Dak Prescott onto the field and what 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: initially stood out to me and I don't know, and 22 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: I'm referencing to Haley because Haley's at practice with me. 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: You poor girls drive in from Fort Worth and all 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: over to get here to do the show. But what 25 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: stood out to me was that he didn't have a 26 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: brace on the thumb and he was high fiving his 27 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, his teammates, which I thought was a big deal. 28 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: You know, you're high fiving. He's gripping Ezekiel Elid as 29 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: they do like their little bro shake. And then we 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: were finally able to catch up with Dak Prescott and 31 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: I love that. It certainly seemed like it was tracking 32 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: that way. But Todd Archer just point blank said, sorry, 33 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: a plan on Sunday, which is my next question, and 34 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: he emphatically said I am, and they goes. I think, yeah, 35 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: I am. And I even joked them a little bit. 36 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: I said, are you trying to play coy with us? 37 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: He's like, nah, that's just you know what the coaches want. 38 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: But I think we all got a sense of Dak 39 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: was back on track when we saw them throwing on 40 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: the road against the Eagles listed as questionable. And so 41 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: I'll start with you, Ahaz we typically do. How does 42 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: the offense change when you have Dak under center. I mean, 43 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: I think that some of the plays, well, honestly, if 44 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 1: you look at a lot of the play designs, there 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: were opportunities for these guys to make big plays down 46 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: the field. We talked about moving meticulously down the field 47 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: with the run game stuff like that. I think things 48 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: are just going to open up a little bit more. 49 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: I think that you can confidently go into games and say, hey, 50 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: if we need something here, we can go for it here. 51 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: Also too, you look at those third and shorts, those 52 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: type of stuff like that, Like he I think he 53 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: is the person to make the better decision there or 54 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: also use his legs in these and maybe in these opportunities. 55 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: So I think that all around, maybe you open up 56 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: your offense more moving forward. Yeah, I just think too. 57 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: One thing that I really enjoyed I caught the tail 58 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: end of Dak speaking, and but one thing I really 59 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: enjoyed him talking about today was how much he learned 60 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: in this time, you know, from not being on the field. 61 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: And he didn't go into specifics because I don't think 62 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: he ever does, But I just love that he that 63 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: self scalp, that we've been emphasizing so much with Mike McCarthy, 64 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: he really took that to heart. And I think while 65 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: it may not be a difference from you know, a 66 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: like skill set per se with Dak, maybe he hasn't 67 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: improved skill wise, but just that taking that next step 68 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: as a leader, taking that next step as a starting quarterback, 69 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: I think that's going to be exciting to see on Sunday. 70 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: I think the most exciting thing was solidified for me 71 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: today seeing both Mica and CD talking about Dak, because 72 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: they lit up like a Christmas tree. I mean, it 73 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: was such a different energy and such a different form 74 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: of excitement I think coming from these guys than we've 75 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: seen these past few weeks, and so being around CD 76 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: when he was talking about him was something. But then 77 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: Mike and Dak were standing next to each other for 78 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: a portion of their locker room interview and just the 79 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: banter back and forth with them, and you can just 80 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: see it. You can tell how excited these guys are 81 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: to have their leader back, and it's just so exciting 82 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: for everybody really in the building. I felt like there 83 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: was just a little energy lift with Dak talking after 84 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: the media felt like kind of a sigh or leaf 85 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: from everybody be like, Okay, it's finally over. We can 86 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: move the page, we can turn the page, and Dak's back. 87 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: It's exciting. I think some of the things that really 88 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: stood out to meet you were, you know, when Dak 89 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: went through his injury with the ankle, he when you 90 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: go on IR, you aren't as present as you can be. 91 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: And as much as people knocked Jerry Jones and staff 92 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: for keeping him around, you know, the window for IR 93 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: injured Reserve is four weeks for those that aren't in 94 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: the know watching the show, because I want you guys 95 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: to be as educated as some of us about football. 96 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: And these are things that I learned along the way too. 97 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: But that would have essentially meant he couldn't be on 98 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: the sidelines for some of this stuff, and he was 99 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: able to be fully engaged and everything from I loved 100 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup saying, you know, when we need water bottles 101 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: at practice, that's what he died. And Zeke said, he's 102 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: not a diva. You know, he's gritty. He talks that 103 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: s and he said, you know, it's his relatability, and 104 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: that is why as we talked about this quarterback controversy, 105 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: I had to laugh because you know, there's a lot 106 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: of people that talk about these teams but aren't in 107 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: the locker room. They aren't at practice, they aren't at 108 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: the games. They don't have relationships with the players in 109 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: the sense that you know what's going on in there. 110 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: But if you know this team, the reason why Dak 111 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: won that starting job was Tony Roma was not around 112 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: here rehabbing when he got injured. Dak was. That's when 113 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: they started introducing it was locker room basketball where they 114 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: had the basketballs in the trash cans. But even when 115 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: he became the starter, bringing those guys to San Diego, 116 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: bringing those guys to Miami, the relationship that he has 117 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: with the players, even Tyler Smith, the young rookie tackle, 118 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, he texted him and invited him to a 119 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: charity event, you know, not long after he was here 120 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: with the team. Those are the little things that add 121 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: up and the little things that matter. A couple of 122 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: other sound bites that stood out to me today when 123 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: asked about about Dak, Seedy said he looked like Dak. Yeah, 124 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: big time throws during the team period. It was even 125 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: Ezekie Elliott who said, because I asked him when did 126 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: you guys start seeing how good he was looking. I 127 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: think it was Seed, he said, you know, he started 128 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: with the nerf ball and then it was the football. 129 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: But then it was Ezekiel Elliott who said he was 130 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: tearing up the Scout defense last week. And I just 131 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: love that, Mica to your point and welcome to the Scrums. 132 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: I love you. Walked in the building today and I said, wait, 133 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: are you credentialed now? So exciting to see you asking 134 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: questions and being in the locker room because I know, 135 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, for a lot of people out here watching 136 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: the show, they would love to have that access. They 137 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: would love to sort of getting locked. So I love 138 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: seeing your development and getting to do that. But Micah 139 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: Parsons saying that when they were out there on the 140 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: field and he showed up, he said welcome to the 141 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: s show in other words like I'm not going out 142 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: easy on you that you're just back. But I just 143 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: to your point, I love the energy, the enthusiasm, and 144 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: they're coming off a tough division loss, but you get 145 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: the sense these guys truly feel. And it was even 146 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: Zeke who said this, We've got a lot of momentum 147 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,119 Speaker 1: right now. We know it's a bit of an uphill battle. 148 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: We've got to win the division, but they feel good 149 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: about where they're at right now. And the banter with 150 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: that too is Michael was talking about how they were 151 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: practicing again and he told Dak, yeah, welcome to the 152 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: S Show. And when Dak went up to interview, Dock's like, yeah, 153 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: well we scored a touchdown on that drive. So I 154 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: just want to throw that up flip and I wanted 155 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: to add I'm like even the pictures of him, just 156 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: seeing him run out to practice, like he looks like 157 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: he's floating, like you can see he's he's happy, and 158 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: he brings that to the game. But I think that's 159 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: an important element that we don't talk about, is like, 160 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: like you were talking about, these guys know what they 161 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: have in him, and so like, I like those opportunities 162 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: that they have for turnovers and stuff like that, Like 163 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: they know this guy can go down there and score 164 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: with them. So I think it's important that they get 165 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: their leader back. I know they can feel that in 166 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: the locker room. I wish I was there today well. 167 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: And also, you know, we talked about this quarterback controversy. 168 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: I love that CD was sort of asked this by 169 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: one of the Channel eight reports or maybe as a 170 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: Fox reporter, and he says, you ain't that slick, yeah, like, 171 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: but a lot of these guys know. And even Zeke pointed, 172 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, to the star on the backboard behind him 173 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: as he was getting interviewed, like why was this even 174 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: a topic? And nobody's disrespecting Cooper around here. It's just 175 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: Dak can take the top off this offense. And he 176 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: was also asked about the difference between week one and 177 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: week seven. There was no continuity on that offensive line. 178 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: You were having a rookie, you know, that was starting 179 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: there at left tackle. It seems like that offensive line 180 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: is really settled in as of late. The communication is strong, 181 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: and we go back to having those two tight ends there. 182 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: They're not only blocking guys, but they're guys that you 183 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: can use and you're receiving game Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard, 184 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: who quick tease, We'll be talking a little bit about 185 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: the run game, where I think it's going to be 186 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: important this week on the other side of this break. 187 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: But I just think that he has weapons. I mean, 188 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: he didn't have Michael Gallop. They wanted to bring that 189 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: up and then we'll see if Dalton Schultz, I mean, 190 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz has been a bit of a security blanket 191 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: for DAK. I don't know what's going on with Dalton now. 192 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: I think he was a full participant. Yeah, I think 193 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: I think it's just one of those things where like 194 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: some players really need their quarterback, you know, And I 195 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: think Dalton is one of those guys where like, for 196 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: whatever reason that he just never developed that rapport with Cooper. 197 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: And then you tack on a PCL, which I said 198 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: from the very beginning, with a PCL injury in particular, 199 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: those are almost, I don't want to say, worse than 200 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: ACL injuries, but from a management standpoint, they're harder because 201 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: there's no tear, so you don't require surgery. But like 202 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: you said, it's nagging and it doesn't go away unless 203 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: you properly let it heal. And that was z class 204 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: your member and said tough. He said that it really 205 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: slowed down his burst. It happened week before against Carolina. Yeah, 206 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: so I just think like you've mixed that he's missing 207 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: the quarterback, he's playing on the tag and you know, 208 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: maybe isn't happy about that getting in his head that 209 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: these rookies are stepping exactly. So I just think there's 210 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: a lot of layers. What my hope with Dalton is 211 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: Dad comes back. He's starting to feel a little bit better. 212 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: It's good. We'll talk about the injury reporting a little bit, 213 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: but it's good that he's been a full participant again 214 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: at practice. And you just hope that they get that 215 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: rhythm back because just like Mike McCarthy is saying Dak 216 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: needs to find his timing, he's also said that with 217 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: Dalton as well, with Dalton just needs to find that timing, 218 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: and I think that timing comes with playing with Dak. 219 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: And something else too is Mike McCarthy talked this morning 220 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: about the I asked him, well, how is the mental 221 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: aspect of all of this? How important is that? And 222 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: he said that's the last hurdle, And so I think 223 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: a lot of it too could be a mental aspect 224 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: too with Dalton Schultz, which if he can sit there 225 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: and he can admit, hey, I'm just mentally I'm not 226 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: ready kind of like Michael Gallup did, Hey, more respect 227 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: to him for that, but I don't know what's going on. 228 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: So add to your point though, like about you know, 229 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: some players needing their quarterback. I mean if you look 230 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: at if you look at just how the offense was 231 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: or even run with Cooper rush like he attacked the 232 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: middle of the field when it was one hundred percent necessary, 233 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: But you didn't get like, besides this game, you weren't 234 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: really getting a lot from your tight ends in passing. 235 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: And that's actually something I was looking forward to to 236 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: this week. I think we could see the tight ends 237 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: get more involved. You could see Dalton Schultz actually have 238 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: some you know, good passing plays in this game as well. 239 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's the offense also too, was less tightened 240 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: receiver available, I guess you want to say as well. 241 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: So I think that may be a different you see too, 242 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: is that these tidings get more involved. It just feels 243 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: like this is like the last step almost that this 244 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: team needs. You know, like first game was not a 245 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: reflection of what you know this team was capable of. 246 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: They have built over the last couple of weeks. They've 247 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: done it with a backup quarterback. The defense has really 248 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: found it stride, and I think with Dad coming back now, 249 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: it's kind of like watch out and also the defense 250 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: finding its stride. You have a very hungry Lion, who 251 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: not only mentioned he was ready for lunch during that interview, 252 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: but he also he also mentioned that, you know, coming 253 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: off of a loss, how that made him feel, and 254 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 1: how he did a lot of self scouting, a lot 255 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: of self reflecting. So I think Mike is the kind 256 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: of guy that when when he loses, he's not going 257 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: to stay in defeat. He's going to sit there and 258 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: he's going to do everything he can to come back. 259 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: He also talked about that competition he had going with 260 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: Tank and he's like, yeah, I'm not winning right now. 261 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: So he's so competitive in that competitive nature. I think 262 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: really is going to be brought out, brought out in 263 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: amplified even though they're not on the same side of 264 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: the ball, asking him like, Hey, how is it going 265 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: to be different not seeing Dak on the sideline anymore. 266 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: It's like, Oh, I'm kind of gonna miss it, but 267 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: you know, I won't get to go up to him 268 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: afterwards and see all that. But I think really you're 269 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: going to see an amplified Micah Parsons coming off of 270 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: a loss, especially in primetime to the Eagles. I think 271 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: this is going to be a very good week for 272 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: Micah and unsung hero Mike McCarthy. I mean, twelve and 273 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: five last season with all the injuries, four and one 274 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: without your starting quarterback this season. I just I love 275 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing from this locker room and how it's built. 276 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: You know, wear They wear the word resilience on their sweatshirt, 277 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: and I truly feel like they've embraced it and they 278 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: believe it. All Right, pass or run? I think that's 279 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: a big question. What can we expect to see from 280 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott in his return against the Lions at AT 281 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: and T Stadium on Sunday.

I actually saw on 336 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: Twitter today from Danny Rogers, who will be joining us 337 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: in a little bit. She said he was in a 338 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: walking boot today. She said it looked worse. He said 339 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: that it looked worse and what it actually was it 340 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: was more primitive. But anytime you see a walking boots, 341 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: I've been in a boot, so I know that. Let's 342 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: see who else is on this list. Charles Harris did 343 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: not practice, Matt Nelson, Bobby Price, Frank Ragnol. So just 344 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: a lot of guys on and off the board who 345 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: are limited. The one thing that stands out to me though, 346 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: Aman Ross Saint Brown. He was kind of banged up 347 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: last week with an angle injury. He has been full 348 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: for the last two days. So did you say the 349 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: center Frank Ragno, Yes, he said he was limited. Frank 350 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: Ragnol foot limited. It's important back to back days when 351 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: you talk about what they do well. The lines run 352 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: the ball. They run the ball well, and that's the center, 353 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: Like Frank is a big part of what they do 354 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: in the power run and a lot of their pools. 355 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: He's the lead. He's a lead blocker often, so that's 356 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: something to take a look at and keep an eye 357 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: on as well. They've got a couple of guys on 358 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: here on the line. So Taylor Decker did not practice yesterday, 359 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: but he was a full participant today. Let's see who else. 360 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: Matt Nelson a tackle he did not practice today. I 361 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: know we talked a lot about the offensive line of 362 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: both Lions yesterday, So yeah, you're right, definitely some important 363 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: things to pay attention. And also when you're talking about 364 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: a team that's trying their goal is to stay out 365 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: of like third and seven plus territory, that is huge, 366 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to third downs to not having 367 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: your center. Big yikes for the Lions, well, particularly because 368 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: that's been an area of strength for them offensively. Like 369 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: we're not giving this Lions team a lot of credit 370 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: heading into Sunday because they do have a one in 371 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: four record, but if you look at the points that 372 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: they can put up on the board, I mean in 373 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: their losses. They put up thirty five points Week one, 374 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: they put up twenty seven or thirty six points week two, 375 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: twenty four points week three, forty five points week four. 376 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: This is a team that can score and then when 377 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: you zero point the next week. They've got the number 378 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: two high scoring offense in the league, which is crazy, 379 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: third highest scoring offense in the league, eight rushing scoring 380 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: offense in the league, and that could hurt the Cowboys. 381 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: I mean they're rushing. D got exposed last week against 382 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: the Eagles. Now you're dealing with a different quarterback in 383 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, but it's definitely an area that can exploit. 384 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: Here's where they're getting killed defense. Yes, they are last 385 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: in the league in total scoring on defense, last in scoring, 386 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: last in the rushing game. And so that brings me 387 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: to our segment run or pass with Dak back under center. 388 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: We keep talking about the reason why I think Mike 389 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: was reluctant to give us the all systems go is 390 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: because he kept talking about rhythm and timing are important. 391 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: It's one thing to clear the medical hurdle, it's another 392 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: to get the rhythm and rhythm and timing back. And 393 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: I would submit that it's a little bit easier for 394 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: him this time around, just because, as he's talked about today, 395 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: he's gone through the mental reps, he's been on the sidelines. 396 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: It's a little bit different than like Tyrant Smith hasn't 397 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: been around here. I think that's going to be a 398 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: little bit harder, you know, for him and guys that 399 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: have been away from the building. Right. But Zeke was 400 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: very bullish about the importance of this team doing what 401 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: they've said they wanted to do the last two years. 402 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: They want to be your run first offense. They want 403 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: to establish and impose their will, and you do that 404 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: by sustaining drives by running the ball. And even as 405 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: he said, I love that Zeke keeps saying this because 406 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: this speaks to the team camaraderie. It's not just Zeke 407 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: that he believes is a guy that should run the ball, 408 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: but also Tony Pollard. And so when we talk about 409 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: simplifying the offense Aisha, when we talk about what Dak 410 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: has seen from the sidelines, and we talk about helping 411 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: establish that rhythm wearing down opposing defenses, do you see 412 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: them leaning on the run, particularly when we look at 413 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: how bad this Lion's defense is against the run. Yeah, 414 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: I expect for them to lean on the out. I 415 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: hope they lean on the run. That's the smart thing 416 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: to do. But I think with Dak, in any passing situations, 417 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: I would just do boots, waggles, a little short stuff, 418 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: getting him rolling out the pocket if he wants to. 419 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: That's why I think he's one of the most comfortable. 420 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: I think he's comfortable in the pocket. But early in 421 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: his career, when they did have a steady run game, 422 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: you saw a lot of little quick gouts to the 423 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: tight ends, little short stuff just to get him back 424 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: in the groove, get the ball, you know, out of 425 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: his hands or whatever. And then from there, if they 426 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: are steady with the run game, it's going to open 427 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: up the pass and I think that's gonna make it 428 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: easier for some of this receiver chord that we've talked 429 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: about is still finding an identity. I think that the 430 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: run game is going to help that and continue to 431 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: help that because you've seen the big plays that come 432 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: from play action. I think that's a big part of 433 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: what Dak said that he saw on the sideline is like, hey, 434 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: this begets this like this makes this open up, this 435 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: makes this open up so I expect for them to 436 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: They may take shots though, Like I honestly, I'm gonna 437 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: be honest with you, Like the Lions, they can get wonky, 438 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: they can they can do some stuff on special teams, 439 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: they can trick you, they can do different stuff. And 440 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: I think that this game may have more explosive and 441 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: weird stuff going on than what we expect. Like it 442 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: may not just be let's just run the ball, Yeah, 443 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,719 Speaker 1: just gonna go down the field. It might be like 444 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: why they do that right there? I love that you 445 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: just jogged my memory because there's so much sound as 446 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: you're covering this team, right You've got Jerry Jones that 447 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: talks to Ice a week, You've got Steven Jones, you've 448 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: got Mike McCarthy, and you've got all the players. But 449 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: what Mike McCarthy said earlier in the week is this 450 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: may be the toughest special teams that they face all season, 451 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: as much credit as we've given the ranked number two 452 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: in the league special teams. So I just I think 453 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: this is an area that, to your point, I think 454 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: could be one of those I don't want to say 455 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: it's a trap game. I know it's an uncommon opponent 456 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: but I do think it's interesting that Mike McCarthy conceded 457 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: that the reason why they didn't do a full practice 458 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: yesterday and brought in the guys is a little bit 459 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: late is they wanted to get a jump on some 460 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: of that. And so I imagine Bones Fossil was in 461 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: there as a special teams coach, giving them a little 462 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: insight into how you defend against this. Yeah, and then 463 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: last week, you know, with special teams, and Bones talked 464 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: about it in his interview like they had a big return, 465 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, pull back because of penalties. I think they 466 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: want to be better there. But field position was super 467 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: important last week. It has been important all week. And 468 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: when you're talking about winning time of possession and being 469 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: able to move methodically down the field, like special teams 470 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: is going to be important, Like where they're starting is 471 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: going to help this offense regardless. So that's another element 472 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: of this offense running the ball and being successful and 473 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: Dad getting in a rhythm. I is that not pinning 474 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: him deep? That's not a good way for him to 475 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: start off coming back to this team. Yeah, I think 476 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 1: for sure you go with what's been working, and I 477 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: think right now what's been working is the run game, 478 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: especially coming off of a game like Zeke had last 479 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: week where he's kind of finally getting back to that 480 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: iconic Zeke that we remember when he came out of college. 481 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: So I think obviously you lean on that, you lean 482 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: on Tony to your point, you know, like those chunk 483 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: plays have been really big. Tony's touchdown still, to me, 484 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: is the most impressive thing this offense have done, has 485 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: done all season, other than that Jake Ferguson two steps, 486 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: because that was so clean. Yeah yeah, But for me, 487 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, I came here from Miami, so I was 488 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: covering the Dolphins, and this reminds me of the conversation 489 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: surrounding Too in the off season was he didn't have 490 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: any arm strength, he couldn't get the ball down the field. 491 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: They signed you know, Tyreek Hill, and they had Jalen Waddle, 492 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: and there was pointless because Too I wasn't going to 493 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: be able to get them the ball. So what do 494 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: they do the first game of the season, drops back 495 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: and unloads a killer pass down the field to Tyreek 496 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: Hill for like fifty plus yards. That's kind of the 497 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: vibe that I'm getting, you know, from what Dak might 498 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: do on Sunday, like why not? You know, like, we 499 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: haven't had those big plays from Cooper yet, so shoot, 500 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: why not try it? Now? That's me being optimistic, that's 501 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: maybe the fan in me talking a little bit, But 502 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: I could see something like that to where like again, like, 503 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: that's kind of the stuff that this offense has been missing, 504 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: the pizzazz, the razzle dazzle, those big plays. And so 505 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't da if you're listening, I don't want them 506 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: to razzle dazzle too much right lately. I'm with you though, 507 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,959 Speaker 1: in the sense that I think you want to establish 508 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: your identity and set the tone of the game, because 509 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: that's what we've seen success. Yeah, when they score on 510 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: the opening drive, well, that's huge, And I think setting 511 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: up for success goes in so many different variations that 512 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: we've seen. Could have been the Cowboys downfall if they 513 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: hadn't won that game, and essentially was their downfall for 514 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: the loss to the Eagles. You look at field position, 515 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: you look at time of possession, you look at penalties, 516 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: and you know things that they kind of brought upon 517 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: themselves in those ways. So I think setting up for 518 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: success starts in many ways, but also establishing the run 519 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: also establishes the play action, which we know will lead 520 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: to the passing game. So I think to your point 521 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,959 Speaker 1: about wanting some razzle dazzle, I'm Jane said, yeah, just 522 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: but also play a conservative To come out of the 523 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: gates and set the tone that Dak is back, I 524 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: think is so important for the confidence of that entire 525 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: team and and the offense because I mean, hey, they're 526 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: coming off of a tough loss, and I'm not saying 527 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: they're down. That is not the vibe that you're feeling 528 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: in the locker practice on Wednesday. They are, They're They're not. 529 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: They're not down anyway. But to set the tone to 530 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: say this is who we are, this is our identity, 531 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: and we're back, I think that's huge for I think 532 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: that's I think that's another thing that's important is, like 533 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: we talked about it at the beginning of the season, 534 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: is like that they're putting good type out there, and 535 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: this game, to me, with Dak under center is going 536 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: to be important for for future teams. So like, because 537 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 1: they haven't seen deck since Week one, right like, and 538 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: there are new toys right like, so it's like, let's 539 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: see what they look like here. So I do agree 540 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: that it's important for them to establish like, this is 541 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: our identity, this is what we do, and forgot like 542 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: because I mean it is. It's it is very like 543 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: people very quickly forget that this offense is explosive. And 544 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: granted you have lost in Amari Cooper or whatever the 545 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,959 Speaker 1: case may be, but it's like they still have guys. 546 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: They still got guys, and I think it's important that 547 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: they come out here and show that because the offense 548 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: for the majority of this time has been very you know, 549 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: it's been very normal. Normal is the word I'm gonna use. 550 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: Have been very normal. So yes, I love it. You know, 551 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: Jamone Clark is your pet cat.

I've never heard them. 556 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: I think we all have a pet cat.

Let's get 614 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: right back into it. We've been talking a little bit 615 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: about offensively one of the best in the league, defensively 616 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: one of the worst. What were they able to glean 617 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: from the bye week That lends itself to maybe this 618 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: team could be improved, particularly given the fact that they've 619 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: got such a host of injuries. Yeah, this is all 620 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: great questions. It all centers around that defense. And we 621 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: heard from defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn today. That was the 622 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: first day of hearing him from him since the bye week, 623 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: and I can tell you that's the first time this 624 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: season season he's looked tired. Makes didn't really take a 625 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: bye week, and that's what most of the coaches said 626 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: that Yeah, we didn't play last week, but it didn't 627 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: feel like a bye week because they were back to 628 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: the drawing boards trying to figure out what dismantled against 629 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: New England where they shut out the Lions and then 630 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: put up twenty nine points on the scoreboards. The defense, 631 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: so defensive wise, right now they are dealing with with 632 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: one key injury there Charles Harris defensive end. He's a 633 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: really good book end with the rookie Aidan Hutchinson. So 634 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: we're not sure if we're going to see Charles Harris. 635 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: He didn't play at New England. He hasn't practiced yet 636 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: so far this week. But the defense, it's kind of 637 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: kicking themselves in the foot. There's a lot of things 638 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: that need to happen up front. First, and it starts 639 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: to getting pressure on a posting quarterbacks. I love what 640 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: coach Glenn said today. Everyone harps on the sacks and 641 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: when I look at the Dallas defense of like, yeah, 642 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: stacks are all over the place, leading that leading the 643 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: NFL with sacks. Coach Glenn now, he's a secondary guy. 644 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: He played in the secondary for about fifteen years in 645 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: the NFL. He's looking for quarterback pressure that result in takeaway. So, 646 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: no matter how you look at it, stuff has to 647 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: go on up front. Things have not been clicking. There 648 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: have been injuries, and the defense was really what was 649 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: lagging behind coming into this season for the Detroit Lions. 650 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: They haven't had they haven't made the stized they needed to. 651 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: A couple of players were benched against New England. Amani Owarier, 652 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: who is considered a veteran in this league now in 653 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: its fourth year, he was in he was a healthy scratch. 654 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: So this this staff sent a very clear message to 655 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: this team that you have got to make this team 656 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: better and contribute and compete at a very high level 657 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: or you just won't play. So Sunday, we're still not 658 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: sure what kind of Detroit lines defense were going to see. 659 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: They've been mixed matching pieces, trying to figure out which 660 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: team works best with which personnel. So we're all kind 661 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: of going to see together Sunday who's starting and who's not, 662 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: and who's healthy and who's not healthy enough to get 663 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: back in this in this ball game. Yeah, Danny, it's 664 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: a USU. So I that's interesting that you say that, 665 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: because when I listened to Mike McCarthy's a press conference yesterday, 666 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: he talked about, you know, kind of not you know, 667 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: not counting out what they're going which what the lines 668 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: are going to be doing defensively, because and I think 669 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: a big part of that is because, like you just said, 670 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: there's so many different rotations, there's so many different guys 671 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: in and out. Um, I would assume that it's difficult 672 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: to plan and scheme for those gentlemen because of that. 673 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,959 Speaker 1: I do want to ask you a question about Jamal 674 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: Williams and and my bad is just slip my mind 675 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: the other running back swift. Yes, Yes, I do want 676 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: to ask about those two gentlemen. Are how are they 677 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: looking and are you, you know, do you have a 678 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: feel for what their progress has been this week as 679 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: far as plenty Yeah, yeah, So Jamal Williams. He is 680 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: our workhorse. He's considered running back number two, but he 681 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: really is that one two punched with running back Beyandre Swift. 682 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: So Jamal's punty, He'll be ready to go. He took 683 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: a major um. He does most of the load while 684 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift has been that an ankle injuries, had a 685 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: couple of injuries. He's been battling, so the other sids 686 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: actually spring to his ankle Game one against the Philly 687 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: against Philly. Went on to play in a limited role 688 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: weeks two and three and set out weeks four and five. 689 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: So we has been practicing this week and we do 690 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: anticipate him to play. I anticipate him to play anyway, 691 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: so we'll have that one two punch. And I asked 692 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell yesterday, which is suck out to me? Was 693 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: the one two punch? I Dallas has Tony Pollard and 694 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: Zekiel Elliott and He's like, yeah, I do think of 695 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: them very similar to our one two punch in Jamal 696 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: and DeAndre. Thank you, Danny, it's Hayley obviously. Today dat 697 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: kind of breaking the internet by and officially announcing himself 698 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: as the starter for a Sunday's game. Obviously, we'll get 699 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: that confirmed tomorrow when we get to hear from McCarthy. 700 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: But when it comes to preparing for, you know, a matchup, 701 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: how has the how's the mentality been? How's the preparation 702 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: been preparing for a Dak as opposed to preparing for 703 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: a Cooper? Yeah? And I asked Coach Campbell this specifically 704 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: yesterday while we were breaking down some films of the Cowboys, 705 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 1: I was like, how different is it prepping for Dak, 706 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: who saw some action in Game one, hasn't seen any 707 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: yet so far this season, so you have very limited 708 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 1: tape on him in this season. Yet he's still he's 709 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: still a veteran in this league. And so Coach Campbell 710 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: broke down a couple of scenarios of when he was 711 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: in New Orleans and Miami of the quarterbacks that they 712 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: had been prepping for, and he about two out of 713 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 1: three times when quarterbacks came back, the starting quarterbacks came 714 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: back from injury, you got their best game. There was 715 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: one game one instance where it was a bad outing 716 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: for a QB one coming back from injury. He said, look, 717 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,919 Speaker 1: we are going to prepare for Dak Prescott best game 718 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: of his career coming into this one, you just you 719 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: can't not um prepare in that fashion. So um didn't 720 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: give a whole lot to uh Cooper Rush, although we 721 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,399 Speaker 1: uh we uh have a close connection with Cooper Rush. 722 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: One of our our very talented producers is his brother 723 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: in law, which is kind of crazy to think. So 724 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: we we're thank you for Rush fans in the UM. 725 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: But but yeah, so so CHRISTI. I'm on the team. 726 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: They are preparing for Dak pescats best game despite the 727 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: lack of time he's seen on the field this year. Hey, Danny, 728 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: it is Jess and we were just talking about the 729 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: Lions special teams and maybe how underappreciated they really are. 730 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: They ranked number two in the league. What do you 731 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,959 Speaker 1: think has been a key component to their success this season? Gosh, 732 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: when you say ranked number two in the league, it's 733 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: kind of surprising because right now when Lions are having 734 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: some WoDES in the kicker position. Umsh someone told us 735 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: that that today the Lions have gone through ten kickers 736 00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: since they released Matt pray Or and he went to 737 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: Arizona for the Cardinals the Pro Bowlers, So that's kind 738 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: of surprising. You say that there were no field goal 739 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: attempts even at all. Against New England, Detroit went over 740 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: six on sports down conversion, so there are woes with 741 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: the kicker position. However, Dave fit is one of the 742 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: best special teams coordinators and I think a lot of 743 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: NFL coaches would agree with me on this. He's one 744 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: of the best special teams coordinators in the league. He's 745 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: very methodical. He will stand there talking to you for 746 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 1: hours if you let him about the game and everything 747 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: surrounding it. So you have a really good returner in 748 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: Collis Raymond, you're going to get another chief special teams guy, 749 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: and Jerry Jacobs who's been out for the last year 750 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: rehabbing an apl he'll be able to come in and 751 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: make an immediate impact here soon. But they took a 752 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: lot of special they took a lot of pride in 753 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: special teams had it's had some plays where it's really 754 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: turned the momentum in games, which has been great to see, 755 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 1: and they're just yeah, now they're looking for a setting 756 00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: force at field goal as well as as a kick returner. Now, well, Danny, 757 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm good on questions. Do you have one more? So 758 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: you just gonna say Jack Fox, the punter also as 759 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: well as a weapon he can. Yeah, I don't let 760 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: me forget. I tell you don't forget about him because 761 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: he I categorize him a number two. That's how important. Yes, 762 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,760 Speaker 1: you're right nice, Thank you for that, very very good Danny. 763 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: Like I said, the one thing I'm so proud about 764 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: this show that we do here, Girls Talk Voice Talk 765 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,240 Speaker 1: is we have so many smart women talking football, and 766 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: I always hope that the listeners don't feel a drop 767 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: off when they're listening to men talk about the game 768 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: or the women. But when I talk to someone like 769 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: you and here you break down Detroit Lions, it's just 770 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 1: it's so exciting. So thank you for taking the time. 771 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 1: I know you've got a lot going on plus travel, 772 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: so we hope to have you on here again. Uh 773 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: probably won't be that soon though, since we last saw 774 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions back in twenty nineteen. But thank you 775 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 1: so much for taking the time today. Thanks Danny, you, 776 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,919 Speaker 1: thank you, guys. I appreciate it all right, ladies, As 777 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: we were talking to Danny Rogers Hayley, we saw some 778 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: breaking news as it relates to one of the offensive pointmen. Yeah, 779 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: Matt LESCo He was the only player listed as limited today. 780 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: He had a subluxation of his shoulder. It looks like 781 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,760 Speaker 1: it was suffered in training camp. According to Patrick Walker Upstairs, 782 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: surgery has always been an option. So it's looking like 783 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 1: he's going to have to have surgery on that shoulder, 784 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 1: and his twenty twenty two outlook is not looking promising. 785 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm glad to get over with. I'm gonna be honest, 786 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 1: like my niece. I mean, I have experience here with this, 787 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: and my niece had this exact injury for the majority 788 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: of her collegiate career playing playing basketball, and like she 789 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: put the surgery off. She put the surgery off, and 790 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: every time you do, it's just making it worse. So 791 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: it's just like you might as well just go ahead 792 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: and get it done. So I'm glad that he's just 793 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: going ahead and get and taken care of. So hopefully 794 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: he can give back next year because we've seen some 795 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: good things from him as that left tackle. I woke 796 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: up left tackle. It's tough that offensive lineman. They just 797 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: can't catch breaks this season, right, the best thing can't 798 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: catch a break? Battle tested, I think is an understatement, 799 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: no doubt. Well, like I said, at least I think 800 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: the bright spot is this group has really been able 801 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: to step up, you know. I think the one thing 802 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: that stood out today is is Dak talked about the 803 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: depth that they've been able to establish both offensively and 804 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: defensively from week one to week seven. So that's some 805 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: good news. Before we wrap up, I do want to 806 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: go around the table, as I typically do. Who do 807 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: you think is going to have a big performance with 808 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: Dak back under center? I shall start with you, and 809 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: then before a rap will get to pass interference pater tats, 810 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 1: it's always me. Um, you're right across from me. I 811 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: just stare at It's so much pressure. Diamonds are made 812 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,919 Speaker 1: under pressure. Okay, well I didn't want to. We'll be cliche. 813 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: Say it, do it. We're all waiting for a don't 814 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: do it if you don't say say it CD Oh no, no, no, 815 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: I think it's it. I think, like we talked about, 816 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: I think it's important this he the shows what he is, 817 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: what is number one? And I hope that starts this week. 818 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I think the obvious answer is Dak Prescott. 819 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,800 Speaker 1: So I mean I think we're expecting him too. Yeah. Yeah, 820 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 1: But if I'm digging a little deeper. I honestly, I 821 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 1: want to say, Michael Gallup, I think this is a 822 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: really good opportunity for him to kind of remind people 823 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: did um Yeah. But I'm just excited for him to 824 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: kind of get back into the stat sheet and get 825 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: back to people remembering like, oh, yeah, that's right, that 826 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: guy's kind of crazy. Yeah, I guess the ball in 827 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 1: his hands exactly. Yeah, I'm gonna go with my pet Cat. 828 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Cavante Turpin because I definitely think 829 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 1: now that you have that stability in at QB one, 830 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: you're going to start to see the chemistry really forming 831 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: with these younger wide receivers and Dak and I think 832 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: Vante and hopefully being integrated more into the offense. You're 833 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: going to see that a little bit this week and 834 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: then obviously through the progression of the season. But Cavante 835 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 1: Turpin might forever pet Cat and I'm very excited to 836 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: see what he does. And I'm I'm banking on one 837 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: of these days, I'm gonna say he's taking it home 838 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: and it's going to happen. So I'm guaranteed it us 839 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 1: on Sunday. So he was very kid close. See, I 840 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 1: actually thought of you, Jess. I was like, your your 841 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: little pet cat there, little kitty cat. I meant to 842 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 1: find him in the locker room today. I couldn't clind him. 843 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: I couldn't find in the locker room today. But I 844 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: was gonna say, like, how much more do you want this? 845 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: Because you were so close to it, So don't worry, y'all. 846 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: Don't worry. My pet cat is going to take it 847 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: home better than the black cat during the New York 848 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 1: game that we saw smaller than me when you stand 849 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: next to like he is a small man, but small 850 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: but mighty before we get to pass interference. I love 851 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: that Danny brought up, you know. I for me, a 852 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: storyline that I'm going to be talking about on Sunday 853 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 1: is what team are we getting as it relates to 854 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: the Lions. I mean, they're benching players in terms of 855 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: healthy scratch, trying to send a message. I was bullish 856 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,359 Speaker 1: on the Lions when I watched Hard Knocks. I mean 857 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell had me wanting to run through a freaking wall. Yeah, 858 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: and they go from averaging thirty five points per game 859 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: in Week five to a complete shutout, something that we 860 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: haven't seen from an NFL team since week eleven and 861 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, they get that break. But again, I just 862 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys can put points up on you 863 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: and you've got this defense. Especially if the defense scores, 864 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 1: this could get really ugly, really fast for Detroit. But 865 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 1: we'll sort of see how that shakes out. Jess, how 866 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: about little past interference before we wrap this up? All right? 867 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: But you also didn't answer who your player is? I said, 868 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: Michael Galla, Oh your pet cat. Okay, that's my pet cat. 869 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna sharing a cat. We're sharing a 870 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: cat this week. We love a good cat. Lady. Well, 871 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: your past interference for today is the Cowboys have a 872 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: fifteen eleven record against the Lions all time, and in 873 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: that they average around three touchdowns per game. The largest 874 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: lead that the Cowboys have ever won against the Lions 875 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: was back on September fifteenth, nineteen sixty eight, where the 876 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 1: score was fifty nine to thirteen. How I would love 877 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 1: for that to be the score and come victory Monday, 878 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,400 Speaker 1: we're talking about that kind of shut out. Could you 879 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: imagine though, we're talking about a one in four team 880 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 1: dat comes back and we're dealing with's like one of 881 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: those weird trap games. Jane, I'm just saying, no, I'm 882 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: not even the stoics. I don't know if you guys 883 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 1: ever study like Marcus really, I always speak like what 884 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: the worst possible outcome is, so that you stay prepared. 885 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 1: The worst thing is them not being able to stop 886 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: them running the ball. Yeah, so the Cowboys linebackers are 887 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: definitely gonna have to come play because again, this offensive 888 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,840 Speaker 1: line is very capable of moving people. They also have 889 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,560 Speaker 1: only allowed seven sex, So this may be a game 890 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: to where you don't see a lot of sex, but 891 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: you do see pressures, or you're just playing your assignment, 892 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: playing your gap, and guys aren't getting passion and the 893 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: remember she did say your boy Charles Harris. The defensive end, 894 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: I think is it's just why I love having the 895 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm writing notes. I'm like, oh, that's good. I'll hone 896 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 1: in on that. Not having Charles Harris there to sort 897 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 1: of book in with Aidan hunchings because Aiden is doing 898 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 1: a lot by himself, was a young player, and on 899 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 1: the optimistic side of that, everybody this year is also done, 900 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 1: will be optimistic all day. It could be a game 901 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 1: that breaks the Lions, and the Lions offense, because you 902 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: have a very hungry lion that is ready to eat, 903 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: especially after what the Cowboys we have them, Mic Drop, 904 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: You're right, they got their opportunity to show. That's the 905 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,839 Speaker 1: worry of a lot of people. Can they stop to run. 906 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 1: This is a team that can run the ball, regardless 907 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 1: of what you think, and they can show they can 908 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 1: stop it. I think the only thing that gives me 909 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: a confidence is they weren't exactly out of it with Philly, 910 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: and I think that's going to be the toughest run 911 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: team that they face all season. I just hope everyone 912 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,879 Speaker 1: has fun. Yep, it's they're gonna be fun. Are you going? Oh? 913 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 1: You gotta go? You work, ladies. Thank you for another 914 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: fun one. I will be rejoining the show back on 915 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday. You guys will have Christie Scales in 916 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 1: here on Monday, hopefully talking a victory Monday. For those 917 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 1: who have two dined and for the followers that have 918 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,919 Speaker 1: stayed loyal, we appreciate you.
