I'm Hayley Sutton, joined by Aisha 18 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: Morrison and Jess Navarrez. Ladies, what a fun start to 19 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: the morning, right, It's always a good morning when you 20 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: wake up and say you're not an underdog. Obviously, that 21 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: was Mike McCarthy at his press conference. The final question 22 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: he was they asked him about the spread, if the 23 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: spread was ever a motivating factor and short answer, no, 24 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: it's not sure. Sure. I like his answer more. Yeah, 25 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: but I just wanted to I'm glad we're starting with 26 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: that first, and I wanted to open up to you guys. 27 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: When you have a coach like Mike McCarthy who is 28 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: pretty open about keeping the distractions and then you hear 29 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: them like that, get a little sassy to end the 30 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: press conference? What do you think about Mike acual No, 31 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: I tweeted it. I was excited about it because we've 32 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: been looking for that, you know, like we've been looking 33 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: for him too. I will say this season, I feel 34 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: like he's gotten more comfortable with the media. He's joking 35 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: back and forth with them. Whatever him and Clarence will 36 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: have going on, how hilarious. And I just say it 37 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: really quick. It's always so fun because when we start 38 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: those press conferences, there's an unwritten order, right. It's always 39 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: one guy who's from the Dallas Morning News or I'm 40 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: not sure where he's from. The thing is David, Yeah, yeah, 41 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: and then it always goes to Clarence. And it's so 42 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: funny because David Moore kind of sets the tone and 43 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: then the tone is just immediately erased by Clarence because 44 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: he's he's so such a clown, you know, and Mike 45 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: is it's good that you point that out, because Mike 46 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: just has picked up on that, and so it's I'm 47 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: glad you put it that out, but I'm glad that 48 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: like it sets the tone right, Like I mean, I 49 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: think that the Cowboys are we like we talked about, 50 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: they're playing far better than what people expected. But this team, 51 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: if you listen to all of the interviews, all of 52 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: these players and these coaches have been confident about Cooper Rush, 53 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: they've been confident about Tyler Smith, they've been confident about 54 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: these defensive players coming in and making an impact like 55 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: they've they've been saying these things. So I think that 56 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: it's just humorous to them, like oh still, and you know, 57 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: you know, Tank has been tweeting out like underdogs after 58 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: every game, so you know, it's resignating with them. Yeah. 59 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: And what I really like about it too, is it 60 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: shows how comfortable Mike McCarthy really is within himself as 61 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: a coach and within this team, because I mean, really, 62 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: you looking at the other side of things has really 63 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: given me an appreciation for Mike McCarthy and how much 64 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: he's settled in here because you listen to other press 65 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: conferences with other coaches, other head coaches that come on there, 66 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: and it's not the same kind of vibe. It's not 67 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: the same kind of feeling, and I think it's just 68 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: so so healthy, and I just feel like it's a 69 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: very healthy environment that Mike McCarthy is exuding here in 70 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: the building, and I think everybody feeds off of that, 71 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: and I think now this we're seeing it more than 72 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: ever because you sell sparks of it. And I talked 73 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: about this a few weeks ago. You sell sparks of 74 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: it even in hard knocks with the Mojo moment. I 75 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: was like, Oh, that's kind of out of character for 76 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, But really what it was, it was him 77 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: getting comfortable because now this is who he is, and 78 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: I just I love it. It's fun to hear the banner, 79 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: But when Mike McCarthy said that, I wish there was 80 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: a live camera. In my reaction, I was in my apartment. 81 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, that was good, and I like, 82 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: how to rewind it? I was like, good for Mike McCarthy. Yeah, 83 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: And it's so interesting you bring up the comfortability of 84 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. One thing that I've kind of realized pretty 85 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: quickly in this business is that you know, like, well, 86 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: not really quickly. It's something I've kind of always recognized 87 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: as a reporter, but like, these guys are people first, 88 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: and I preached that all the time. I've always preached 89 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: out my entire journalism career is that these guys are 90 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: people first. And so just like the players have to 91 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: warm up to you, they have to get comfortable. They're 92 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: not going to tell you their life story the first 93 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: time you meet them, right They're not gonna, you know, 94 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: maybe show who they are actually like right up front, 95 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: because they got to earn that trust. And so I 96 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: think now that we're going into year three with Mike McCarthy, 97 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: he kind of knows the Clarence Hills, and he knows 98 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: the John Machodas, and he knows the Todd Archers in 99 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: the room. So it's a little bit easier for him 100 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: to have those jokes and to make those comments and 101 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: not and know that like it's not going to get 102 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: taken out of context or that kind of thing. So 103 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: we love to see that. Something else that just came 104 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: out today that we want to talk about that I'm 105 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: going to pull up right now. The injury report. Yesterday, 106 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: we had some question marks, namely Jake Ferguson was a surprise. 107 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: He did not practice, so we start with him. He 108 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: did practice today, he was limited. He did some individual drills. 109 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: One thing I will point out he had a sleeve 110 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: on his I believe it was his left knee, so 111 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: obviously he's working through some stuff there. I'm not exactly 112 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: sure what it is, but he's just listed as limited. 113 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: So he did do some stuff today off to the side. 114 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: Also limited that we talked about before the show. Donovan 115 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: Wilson was limited yesterday, limited today with an ankle injury. 116 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: Let's see who else is on this list. Obviously, Dak 117 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: still did not practice. He's been off to the side, 118 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: but today something interesting about Dak while he was going 119 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: through his strengthening progressions, he did everything with a football 120 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: in his hand. So not sure how far he is progressing, 121 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: but it's good to see that. Yeah, they're just going 122 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: through the motions as they're supposed to be exactly. Yeah. Yeah, 123 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: So let's see any other people on this. Jordan Lewis, Lewis, yep, 124 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm working on the list. Oran Lewis was back up 125 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: too limited, which was nice. We did see him yesterday 126 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: doing some band work off to the side, so good 127 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: to see him getting back into the works. And so 128 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: those are kind of the guys that we paid attention 129 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: to today. Anyone surprised you guys on that, Yeah, it's 130 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: not so surprising. But something that I really think we 131 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: should keep an eye on is Jake Ferguson. I think 132 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: he's really becoming a key part of the offense overall, 133 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: even when it just comes to the pass pro I 134 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: think Jake Ferguson is working his way up to establish 135 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: his name within this offense. And so anytime you see 136 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: an offense really vibing and and gelling like the offense 137 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: has been, you don't want to see it a player 138 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: taken out of that, right. So the good thing though 139 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: is you know, if they've preached about this, there's depth 140 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: um with with really this team. Um. So I'm keeping 141 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: a very close eye on Jake Ferguson. Personally, are you sure? 142 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: What about you? Honestly, I got something to say about 143 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: a lot of them. So I think Quinn Bohanna being 144 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: limited like that, don't like that. But I feel glad 145 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: to see that he's he's practicing because I think that 146 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: he has y'all. He's vicious, yeah, and as just like 147 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: you know a lot of teams, like even last week, 148 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: you know with Payne and Alan, like you're looking at 149 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: the game plan and you're like, you don't want to 150 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: run into those guys. Teams are doing the same thing 151 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys Dts right now. That's why they're attacking 152 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: the edges. So I think that Quinn Bohanna is important 153 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: to what's going on with Jake Ferguson. Obviously you want 154 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: them out there, but in this game, um, the Rams, 155 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: like the middle of the field. Is one thing that 156 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: um matt Owen, my my teacher, the professor professor was 157 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: pointing out to me, is that he the tight ends 158 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: might get some burn in this game because the linebackers 159 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: for the Rams are having trouble in covers. Now, they're 160 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: fantastic against the run. We saw that they they run. 161 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: Defense is good, but I want to see um Dont 162 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: Schultz and Jay Ferguson and those guys get involved this game. 163 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: So that's important to me. Also to Connor McGovern coming back, 164 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: I think it's a big deal and being fully fully 165 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: worked out in practice and going through everything this week, 166 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: because we saw last week that he kind of struggled. 167 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: I mean quite honestly, everybody struggled. I mean literally literally 168 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: like Payne and Allan, literally everyone got a piece on 169 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: that offensive line. So I think it's good for him 170 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: to get some for work, get some you know, get 171 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: comfortable into this offensive line, the communication, all that stuff, 172 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: and then we'll see what happens with this rotation with 173 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: Jason Peters and him in this game and if they 174 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: ramp him up more, and I think it'll give us 175 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: a better idea of what Jason Peters role is going 176 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: to be on this offensive line moving forward. Yeah. I 177 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: want to get to Jason Peters in a minute, because 178 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: we talked about before. But someone else on here that 179 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: we didn't mention that completely went over my head. Ceedee 180 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: Lamb took a just today with I literally was like, yeah, yeah, 181 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: he did not practice today with growing issue. The good 182 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: thing is is we spoke to him today today was 183 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: Cede Day. We did speak to Matthewards. He was in 184 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: good spirits. He said he's fine, he doesn't want there's 185 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: nothing for anybody to worry about. But obviously was enough 186 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: to keep himself out of practice today. So obviously when 187 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: they take the field tomorrow, that'll be something just to 188 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: pay attention to. When that injury report constantly pentative. They're 189 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: doing a lot of preventative stuff, like you can tell 190 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: with holding guys out in certain practices and low management 191 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And I can appreciate that completely 192 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: because even I believe it is yesterday Mike McCarthy talked 193 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: about Donovan Wilson and doing a lot of things for 194 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: preventative measures, managing his work low honestly terminology yet exactly. 195 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: And I think that's so respectable because we're still very 196 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: early in the season, and I think that's we forget 197 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: about how much of a season that there really is 198 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: left to this game only being this early in do 199 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: what you got to do to save these guys. They 200 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: have a lot more to do and I think a 201 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: lot more to prove as the schedule continues on. Yeah, 202 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: it's interesting too that you bring up how early it 203 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: is in the season, because Mike did speak about that. 204 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: I believe it was yesterday when we were on the 205 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: subject just of how important it is for injury management 206 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: and making sure that these guys are doing what they 207 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: need to do to take care of themselves. One of 208 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: the things that he pointed out was just making sure 209 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: that the team is understanding that there's seventeen games this 210 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: year now, and I think that that one extra game, 211 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: the shortened preseason, our guests, the difference in preseason, all 212 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: of that is making a difference. It's kind of changing 213 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: the way that they approached that. So it's good that 214 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: he's recognizing that injury management or the load management, so 215 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: to speak. So that's important. And I also want to 216 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: note that Noah Brown was a full participant. So in 217 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: the event that, you know, for whatever reason, feels banged up, 218 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: you got to feel confident, yeah, that you've got Noah Brown, 219 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: especially with the neck injury. You know, those can go 220 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 1: either way, so it's good that he is will go. 221 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: Also important too, I mean, even you're talking about the 222 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: seventeen week season. You know, Mike McCarthy's not going to 223 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: sit up here and just be talking about the playoffs. 224 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: But this is preparation for that as well. You have 225 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: these guys to be you know, healthy, longevity wise. So 226 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the low management and stuff 227 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: we're seeing is also because this team is looking to 228 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: hopefully make a deep push in the playoffs and we 229 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: were all hoping for it. Yeah, it's not crazy that 230 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: that's the conversation. Was not the conversation. The season is over? 231 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: What was me? No deck? And that's funny. That was 232 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: not the conversation after week one right at all. But 233 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: it's it's a good problem to have everybody. It's all good, 234 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: but some uh, something else too, that Hayley, we didn't 235 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: get to talk about on yesterday's show was the long 236 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: snapper position. And I know you had plenty of stuff 237 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: you wanted to throw in there about that because losing 238 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: Jake McQuaid is huge, and I think it kind of 239 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: gets lost in the mix because long snapper it's a 240 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: very important position, but it's not a flashy position. Right 241 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: when it comes to really knowing the game of football, 242 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: you know how vital that position is. So Haley, what 243 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: have you seen? You were boots on the ground with 244 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: the two news signings on practice squad. Of course, for 245 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: that long snapper position. Yea. So it was something I 246 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: believe that came up on Monday into Tuesday where they 247 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: added or they worked out for on Monday signed to 248 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: Tucker added Tucker Addington and Matt Overton. Like it's like 249 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: a tongue twister. Yeah, but both of those guys have 250 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: been getting work in. They're so far on the other side, 251 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: and y'all have bad vision, so it's hard to see 252 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: all the way down. But what I can say is 253 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: I did get a chance to speak to the special 254 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: team's room, namely Brian Anger and Brett Maher yesterday, because 255 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: I feel like long snapper is one of those positions 256 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: where like you don't necessarily think about it because it's 257 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's a minis school part 258 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: of the game and diminish it because it's an important role, 259 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: but it's it's, you know, we're so worried about the 260 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: defense or what the callbacks doing or what the O 261 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: lines doing, that we just don't a lot of times 262 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: I think to talk about the long snappers. So I 263 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: think this is a good problem to have. I think, 264 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: like we give some love to those long snappers, but 265 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: I'm going on a tangent here. Speaking to Brian and 266 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: Brett yesterday, one of the things that they are both 267 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: looking forward to doing is building chemistry, because if anybody 268 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: on the field needs chemistry with their long snappers, it's 269 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: your kicker and your punter, and so both of them, 270 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: I think are just really excited to have these two 271 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: guys new to the team and really kind of welcome 272 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: them in. And I think if anyone's going to help 273 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: them build that chemistry and become a part of the team, 274 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: it's going to be those guys. So that's kind of 275 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: the vibe that I'm getting right now, like, yeah, they're 276 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: doing good, but it's their first day out, Like what's 277 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: that little oozy picture that always been always like this 278 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: is my third day. So I'm sure that's kind of 279 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 1: how they're feeling. I didn't get a chance to speak 280 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: to them today, but I imagine they're just trying to 281 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: get worked in. So yeah, definitely something will keep an 282 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: eye out on for tomorrow as they go into practice. Yeah, definitely. 283 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: And you know, we didn't get to talk about this 284 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: really during the week. There was it was a lot 285 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: going on this week, but I'm glad we're going to 286 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: talk about it now. So Matt Overton actually a former 287 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: pro bowler with the Indianapolis Colts um and then Tucker 288 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: Addington is the Houston Gamblers six round pick of the 289 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two USFL draft. So that gives you a 290 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: little insight is to what we're working with here. I 291 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: think either option could be could be great. We didn't 292 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: get to see him at practice today, but uh, I'm 293 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: sure either way they will be workable into mass Cowboys 294 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: Overton gum skin in the same. So yeah, I mean, 295 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: these guys they have some experience, they know what they're doing. 296 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: But when we talk about the chemistry and stuff, I 297 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: think that's going to be important this week because you know, 298 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: Bones is going up against them, we don't. We know 299 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: he can get a little you know, you know, he 300 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: can get a little wild out there, So we'll see 301 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: what he's He's been chilled this year, but I'm telling you, 302 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: like be looking for him to be trying to do 303 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: some stuff. I think that there are some areas also 304 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: too on special teams where they're susceptible and inco So 305 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: we'll see what that got going on on special teams 306 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: this week. Like when you start talking about the complimentary 307 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: football special teams has been a big reason why the 308 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys have been you know, kept the float here. So 309 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna the chemistry that you're talking about is important 310 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: moving forward, and we won't know until we know, right, 311 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: Like we don't know what it's going to look like 312 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: until the game day, so fingers crawl. It's one of 313 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: those things you gotta put your faith in, right. And 314 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: it's interesting too that you bring up Bones and his 315 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: former team. I did ask the guys about that yesterday 316 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: as well, and just you know, like, what's the what's 317 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: the benefit of that? And it seems like such a 318 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: cliche or an easy question, but Brett Maher's face, you know, 319 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: just immediately lit up. He's like he's like, I mean, like, 320 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: what could you have better than to have a guy 321 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: who not only has the skill that Bones has, but 322 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: to have the insight to Matt like of the team 323 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: that you're matching up again. So I think it's gonna 324 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: be a fun sort of matchup and a fun homecoming 325 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: so to speak for bones Um. Sometimes we didn't talk 326 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: about yesterday that I want to. I gotta give him. 327 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: As Flowers own Clark thirty three coming back, there's a 328 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: lot of talk about what his role is going to be, 329 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: and I just wanted to say, like, I mean, he's 330 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: if he's doing predominantly special teams, Okay, that's what everyone 331 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: does to move up the chain. I don't understand what 332 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: the big deal is about. Yeah, absolutely, you know this. 333 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: That's the best way to kind of integrate him back 334 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: into this world, this field, and for him to get 335 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: his football you know, his football body back and be 336 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: taking contact on And it sounds like he looked good 337 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: on the you know, on the sled a couple of 338 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: times this week. I just wanted to talk about him 339 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: and also this training staff and what they have done 340 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: to get him ready and to get him healthy. They 341 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: are taking on projects that a lot of people wouldn't 342 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: have done. And this is a player, y'all, like the moan. 343 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: Clark's no joke. He's instinctive, he can tackle, he can cover, 344 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: he can do a lot he can do, he can 345 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: do a lot of Michael Parson's esque stuff, and he's 346 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: aggressive like that. And to be adding him at some 347 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: point in time, at any point time to this linebacker 348 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: room is going to be helpful. So I wanted to 349 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: give him his flowers and Britt Brown and all those folks, 350 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: because I mean we I think we'll all appreciate it 351 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: in the long run for this linebacker room. You sound 352 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: like Mike McCarthy this morning. That's pretty Oh yeah, I 353 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: heard about it. Yeah yeah, And I like that we're 354 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: seeing again. We talked about it yesterday, Mike McCarthy. Don't 355 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: play this train and staff. They don't play about guys 356 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: coming back earlier. And I think that's a big reason 357 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: why we may see dak out longer than what it's 358 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: being talked about exactly because this it doesn't matter what 359 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: you say. He literally is just now, you know, getting 360 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: on the field and gripping a ball like this. There's 361 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: a process that goes to it. But I just wanted 362 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: to again highlight the way that this team is handling 363 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: injury issues and the way that they are able to, 364 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, overcome some with taking guys. I mean even 365 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith, people were like, oh what are you what 366 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: are you doing right now? But you got a Pro 367 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: Bowl or out of that player, like he had a 368 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl year, you know. So I just wanted to 369 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: talk about that, highlight that a little bit. Shout out 370 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: to you to Mount Clark. Yeah, and how cool is 371 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: it for the Cowboys as well, like you said, just 372 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: being able to recognize that they can take chances on 373 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: guys and you know, turn pro bowlers like you mentioned. 374 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: So we're excited about Damon Clark.

He talked about the matchup between 430 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald and Zach Martin potentially being a matchup to 431 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: watch just kind of depends on where Aaron's gonna line up. 432 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a minute. But but you know, 433 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: just to have a guy like Zach Martin on your team, 434 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: on your squad in the locker room next to you. 435 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: How cool for these guys. Well, and it's it's so 436 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: important too, because ye again, I feel like Zach Martin 437 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: is such a staple player that he becomes kind of 438 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: a shadow into how much he does, and he becomes 439 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: kind of unappreciated for how much he has held down 440 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: this O line through thick through thin, through up and down, 441 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: through everything that this OH line has been through these 442 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: last four weeks. Right. So it was interesting because y'all know, 443 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: I like to go back and listen to what our 444 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: opponents are saying for the week. I like to scout 445 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: him out a little bit, what are you saying? But 446 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: it is important to get a good view of it. So, um, 447 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: it was funny because he was mentioned by Sean McBay. 448 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: Sean McBay talked about Zach Martin specifically. Sean McBay talked 449 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: about a lot of stuff. Yea, so we'll get into it, 450 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: but uh, and I enjoy listening to Sean Sean McVay talk, 451 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: so um it was it was good insight. But he 452 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 1: talked about Zach Martin. Um. He also talked about a 453 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: lot of other guys being potential threats. Um, just overall 454 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: to this team and Terence. If we want to roll 455 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: that clip now would be perfect. And it's it's tough, 456 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: I would say physically, the short week has become more 457 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: challenging the more years you play. UM and uh, you 458 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: know that's a little bit tougher. UM, and the mental 459 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: aspect probably gets a little bit easier just because you've 460 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 1: seen a lot of football and gone against players and 461 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: teams and coordinators and all that kind of stuff. You 462 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: have some rolodecks of of what it might look like 463 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: before you turn the tape on. UM. Uh, sleep's definitely 464 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: a portion of it as well. Okay, So that was 465 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 1: actually Matt Stafford and I loved this clip because something 466 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: that I kind of jumped ship there. I thought we 467 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: had a Sean McVay clip. Sorry, brain fog everybody, it's 468 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: a Thursday. I did not have coffee today. But you 469 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: know what Matt, Matt Stafford was talking about was in 470 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: terms of everybody saying the Rams are coming off of 471 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: a disadvantage and having a short week. That was his 472 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: response to that. So I thought that was interesting in 473 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: his take of that, because he said, the older you get, 474 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: the harder harder gets. And you would think it would 475 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: be opposite, right from a football perspective. Now I don't 476 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: think so I'm going to disagree, and this is something 477 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: that I will get on my soapbox and talk about. 478 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: Get on it go. We just talked about how important 479 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: it was for Mike McCarthy to, you know, like take 480 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: these injuries seriously, for these players and feel for the 481 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: NFL to consistently allow these players to play on Sunday 482 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: and then turn around and to play again three days later. 483 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: And it's not just playing, it's preparing, preparing your body. 484 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: I think I read somewhere where for a football player 485 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: after a game, it takes your body forty eight full 486 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: hours just to get back to normal. So when you 487 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: take when you take that science right, Patrick Walker would 488 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: be so happy. I said that you take that science 489 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: and then you shrink that down because now everything you're 490 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: doing in a short week is condensed. So you're trying 491 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: to get these practice reps in. You, you're staying up 492 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: extra late because now you have to watch the film 493 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: on your own time, or you're having to stay late 494 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: to watch the film. You're having to get in the 495 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: weight room and work a little bit harder. And then 496 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: luckily for them it's a home game. But like for 497 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: some of these guys that are having to hop on 498 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: a plane and travel to their games. I mean, I've 499 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: been an athlete before, and like I said this the 500 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: other day, I've never been a professional athlete. But the 501 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: grind is hard, and it's hard on your body. So 502 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: I can't imagine, you know, as a twenty eight year 503 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: old woman right now, that that kind of stuff gets 504 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: easier as you get older, because your body changes as 505 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: you get older, your tolerance for things changes as you 506 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: get older, your workload and your ability to do things. 507 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: I mean, that's why people retire because it's hard, and 508 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: so I will always dislike the NFL for putting these 509 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: players at such a disadvantage. I mean, look at Tuah, 510 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: you know, I know we've spoken about that a little bit, 511 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 1: but it's just like it just puts the players at 512 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: such a disadvantage. Yeah, can we can we get a 513 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: little applause by the back like that because it drives 514 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: me insane. And it's like what drives me the most 515 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: insane too, is like, you know, and this is not 516 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: all fans. I don't like putting everybody into one back 517 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: in basket, but you know, like it's just infuriating thinking 518 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: about the things that these players are putting themselves through 519 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: for the love of the game and to not have 520 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: the league taking care of them the way that they're giving. Yes, 521 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: it's it's bonkers to me. And when you think about 522 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: the science that we have and the access to things 523 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: that we have, I cannot wait for somebody to step 524 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: up and say we are no longer doing this slate. 525 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's I won't say too much, but it's 526 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: it's maddening. I also thought it was interesting too that 527 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: he mentioned sleep, because that's really not something you sleep. 528 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: You're watching film and it says something you think about 529 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: as a professional athlete, and you know, just watching a 530 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: football game on Sundays, you don't think about, hey did 531 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: they sleep this week? Like how much sleep did they 532 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: actually get in? But then you think about it in 533 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: terms of your normal day to day life, and I know, 534 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: for me, if I'm not sleeping, I'm not productive, and 535 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: so I can't imagine how they go and put their 536 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: bodies through what they do and do everything that they do, 537 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: whether it be tape practice, rehab for some of these 538 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: guys going into to make sure that they're getting healthy 539 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: on top of trying to get enough sleep. That's yeah, 540 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: it put a new perspective for me today. So I 541 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: just wanted to share that little tit. I mean, and 542 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: then you also have to talk about when you're specifically 543 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: talking about Matthew Stafford, this guy's been sixteen he's been 544 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: sacked sixteen times. You yeah, and hurts, and you have 545 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: to look at the fact that also, you know, like 546 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: the San fran defense is very, very very physical. They're 547 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: tackling hard. I mean, you look at Cooper Cup and 548 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: the guy had nineteen targets fourteen receptions. Those tackles he 549 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: was taking are going to have him sore. And so 550 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: I just I realistically think that anyone that thinks that 551 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: them off of a short week with how brutally physically 552 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: m physical, that game was last week. It's just crazy 553 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: to think that anybody on that side of the of 554 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: the field isn't going to be a little fatigued a 555 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: little bit like and they may you know, dig deep 556 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: and really you know, make a statement. I'm not saying 557 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: that they don't have it in especially offensively. I look 558 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: to see Sean McVay, you know, maybe try to switch 559 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: it up or whatever coming in, you know, against such 560 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: a juggernaut of a match up with their offensive line 561 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: issues and then the Cowboys defensive line. Um. But I 562 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: do think that that is going to play a factor 563 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: in this game. And we would be crazy to not 564 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: think that it's not going to. And it was interesting 565 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: too because obviously they both were at Sean McVay and 566 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford were asked about that number of sacks. It's 567 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: very unusual and just how quickly it all happened for him, 568 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: and so they asked him and he was like, well, 569 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: I have to do a better job, sir, I mean, 570 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: like I mean, but honestly, and he does, but he not. 571 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: What I really appreciate about Matt Stafford is the leadership there. 572 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: And he said, responsibility when it's like, yeah, I get 573 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: the ball out quicker. That's that's fairer to say, right, 574 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: but also to get sack that many times, it's not 575 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: just you, it's at fault for all of that. So 576 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: that was interesting, and Sean mcvagh was like, our number 577 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: one priority is to take care of matut Stafford, because yeah, 578 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: you obviously cannot have your starting quarterback getting sacked that 579 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: many times start game. And it's kind of like, I 580 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: look at football as as a machine, right And when 581 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: you look at the Rams, to me, I think they 582 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: look a lot like what people expect at the Cowboys 583 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: to look like. And I'm just being honest because when 584 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: you look at what they lost a receiver cores Wise, 585 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: Van Jefferson, very important, guy Odell Beckham, and now you 586 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: see Tyler Higbee and Cooper cup who's gonna get He's 587 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,479 Speaker 1: gonna get his touches. They scheme him, They scheme him 588 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: open too well for him not to you know, be 589 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: able to get some receptions. But when you look on 590 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: the other side, I mean, Alan Robinson is like where 591 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: he at where he at right now? And part of 592 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: that is because a lot of the looks that the 593 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: Cowboys got last year when they couldn't run the ball 594 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: when they could not pass the ball. Are the same 595 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: looks that the Rams are getting right now, keying in 596 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: on everything, biting on everything, like we know that you have, 597 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: you know, deficiencies here offensively, and then also too when 598 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: you look at what they do in the run game, 599 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: they're not I'm not gonna say they're completely inept as 600 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: a run offense. There are some things they can do. 601 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: They use a lot of misdirection. I call it decoration. 602 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm just sprinkling some motion right here. You know what 603 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know, and that is essentially to help 604 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: their guys out. It's to help get their guys open looks. 605 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: It's to help this struggling offensive line. This is not 606 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: a power offensive line. They they they they're not trying 607 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: to run the ball down your throat the A and 608 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: B gap. They're trying to do some fancy stuff, some 609 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: exchanges get your linebackers not trust in their eyes, which 610 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do we'll talk about later. But 611 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: this offense is ran through Matthew Stafford, and there are 612 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: numerous instances on tape where he has is there and 613 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: he's getting I mean, you're coming up like they're coming 614 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: up against a defense that already is making you get 615 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: the ball out. It's kind of not even a it's 616 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: like a mood point that they have that he has 617 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: to get the ball out because he already does. It's 618 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: it's to a point also to where he's like he's tight. 619 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: He's thrown into some tight boxes, tight windows. He's trusting 620 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: his guys, but he's not trusting it. There ain't no 621 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: second third read, y'all. It's it's this is where I 622 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: want to go with the ball right now. And this 623 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: is and a lot of that does have to do 624 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: with the offensive line. But then at the same time, 625 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: you say to yourself, this is a veteran quarterback. What 626 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: is going on in his mind with some of his 627 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: progressions and some of his decision making. And if the 628 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense, you know, can take advantage of the turnovers 629 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: and you know, get turnovers, get this team better field position, 630 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a key part of this game. 631 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: He also puts the ball on the ground, So yes, 632 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: I feel you on the offensive line part. It's a 633 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: machine absolutely, like he can't just be you know, like 634 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: it's not just on him, but also to like they 635 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: lost some key guys in this offseason, and to me, 636 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: it is similar to what you think you would have 637 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: thought the Cowboys offense would have looked like without a 638 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: Noah Brown stepping up, without Tyler Smith actually coming in 639 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: and being suitable as a left tackle, like, I think 640 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: we would have saw some of these same things, don't 641 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: I mean, And then also too, you know, just with 642 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: Cooper like him coming in and be in the quarterback 643 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,479 Speaker 1: that he is, Like, we didn't expect these things. But 644 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: I do think that if that didn't happen, the Cowboys 645 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: would look very similar to how the Rams look right now. Offensively, 646 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: I want to put point out two since we're talking 647 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: about similarities. The Rams have had struggles in the red zone. 648 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, this is going to be a game of 649 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: you need touchdowns and that goes for both sides of 650 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: the ball. Here, field goals are I mean, it's even 651 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: playing field at this point. Because we have Brett ma Herb, 652 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: Brett Money mahr. We appreciate you so much, give you 653 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: all your flowers. We appreciate him. But they need The 654 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys offense, first of all, needs to capitalize when they're 655 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: in the red zone. They need to score touchdowns to 656 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: win this game. Because they also need to take advantage 657 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: of the fact that the Rams are struggling with the 658 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: same thing. And so, really, if you wanted to become 659 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: more of a power play for you now I'm using 660 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: hockey terms, there you go. You know, if you wanted 661 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: to become more of a powerplay, you're the ones that 662 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: have to step up and capitalize in the red zone. 663 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: So the Cowboys, I, oh my goodness, it's going to 664 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: be so frustrating if we don't see a touchdown scored 665 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: within that first quarter, because that is something that I 666 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: think is very overlooked when these games are won, and 667 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: they've been great games. Everybody's played great, but we have 668 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: not seen the Cowboys scoring touchdowns, and that is so important. 669 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: That's going to be a key to this game. Is Yeah, 670 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: you can score points, that's great. We love you, Brent Moher, 671 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: but I don't want to see a lot of you 672 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: this week because ultimately, ultimately that's not what's going to 673 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: win this game. And it's you know, I think keeping 674 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: the Rams behind the sticks, making sure they don't even 675 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: get the opportunity to be in the red zone is 676 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: going to be also key. So yeah, something I'll look 677 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: out for. Yeah, I like to. I know we spoke 678 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: about this earlier in the week, but Mike McCarley said 679 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: earlier about how you know, you don't know what your 680 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: looks like until after four weeks, and I think that 681 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: this is really going to be a game where they 682 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: can kind of exploit that a little bit. Now we 683 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: know what Cooper Rush looks like, we know where he 684 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: looks comfortable, we know what he can do from an 685 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: arsenal standpoint, we know the weapons he has. He has 686 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: a new toy in Michael Gallop, so that adds the 687 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: vertical threat, the deep threat down the field. And then 688 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: you've ad you factor in the fact that people are 689 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: going to mark Michael. You know, we've seen the way 690 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: he was covered on Sunday, the penalties that he drew, 691 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: So that adds another layer to the defense. So I 692 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: think what's really cool about this matchup is you're playing 693 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: a team that's tired, that's coming off of a short week, 694 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: as Matthew Stafford spoke about, maybe still trying to find themselves, 695 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: like are they that you know, are we the reigning 696 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: defending Super Bowl champions, like, so they're still maybe searching 697 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: for their identity. A depleted offensive line that's struggling to 698 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: keep the quarterback safe. So you have all of those factors, 699 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: and now you have a Cowboys team that's really hitting 700 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: their momentum. They've had the momentum the thermostat, so to speak, 701 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, and so I 702 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: really think that Sunday is a great opportunity to maybe 703 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: be a little bit more flashy. We talked about not 704 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: taking those risks on fourth and one late in the game. 705 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: Maybe this is a week where you can try and 706 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: take those risks. Because Michael Gallup feels better going into 707 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: the game, CD has got his swagger back, Zeke and 708 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: Tony are finding ways to get yards in a struggling 709 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: run game. So I really think this is going to 710 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: be a fun matchup just from that perspective, because we 711 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: spend so much time talking about how well the defense is, 712 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: how much the defense has held it down in the house, 713 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: so to speak, and I think, now this is like 714 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: the offense is like coming out party where they I 715 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: really think this is a good opportunity. Yeah, And on 716 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, when you look at 717 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: the Rams defensive line, like they aren't getting a ton 718 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 1: of pressure right now, that's not their game. Right now, 719 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: you're looking at you when you look at losses, the 720 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: loss of von Miller is showing true to be a 721 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: big deal because when you have another guy on that 722 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: defensive line with an Aaron Donald, it's too much to 723 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: account for. So you're seeing now like absolutely they're more 724 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: stout against the run, but I think you can do 725 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: some things to them at the second level. And then 726 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: also too, there are going to be passing opportunities there 727 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: as well, depending on what you see with Jalen Ramsey 728 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: and seeing if he's going to shadow at all with 729 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb. But I think that the matchup that I 730 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: want to see is Michael Gallop against Jalen Ramsey because 731 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: it's something of it, Like it's something about that matchup, 732 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: and I think you talked about it's something about that 733 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 1: matchup that's interesting to me because one thing that Jalen 734 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: Ramsey has in this last couple of years really put 735 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: into his arsenal is tackling, like he's not afraid to 736 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: come up and tackle and things like that. But this 737 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks he struggled in the open field 738 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: making tackles themselves in space, are having trouble tackling, and 739 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: so I'm really hoping that Kellen Moore draws up some 740 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: yak opportunities for these guys to get yards after catch 741 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,479 Speaker 1: and really, you know, get after that defense. Something else. 742 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: Another flashy name that was flashed around a little bit 743 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: this week because of a viral post due to him 744 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,439 Speaker 1: taking care of some business to a wild fan. Don't 745 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: don't be that fan, please, Bobby Wagner. He also talked 746 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: in a press conference and something that he mentioned was 747 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys rushing attack. He said that it's a very 748 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: good balance Zeke falls forward pas more on Oh my goodness, 749 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: my pen is flying more on the edges, and that 750 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: you have to be conscious of the styles of run 751 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: plays that each guys have and that the Cowboys do 752 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: a good job of mixing it up well. He also 753 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: mentioned that the offense starts these guys going with their 754 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: run attack and that opens up the game for everybody else. 755 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: He also mentioned that Cooper Rush is making great throws 756 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: and he is a guy that they need to respect. 757 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 1: So I think that says a lot for Bobby Wagner 758 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: to be talking about Cooper Rush. I mean, give Cooper 759 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: Rush all his flowers. We already know that, but I 760 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 1: thought that was interesting because he said, obviously the press 761 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 1: conference started of hey, what are you going to do 762 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 1: if you see DAK this week? And he SAIDs my understanding, 763 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: We're not seeing Dak this week, worry about it. And 764 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: he said, either way, though, Cooper Rush is somebody we 765 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 1: need to respect. So I thought that was a very 766 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: interesting way for him to answer that question. He also said, um, 767 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: that Cooper Rush has been very great at putting our 768 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: you know, handling blitz pressure so far, and that just 769 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: because he's good at it so far doesn't mean he 770 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 1: will be good at it on Sunday, that the Rams 771 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: do their blitz differently. I wish that I'm just the messenger, 772 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: you guys. I'm just saying what Bobby Wagner said. He's 773 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: talking his talk. Um, I don't know at Cooper Rush. 774 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,399 Speaker 1: If you're listening to this, there you go, there's your 775 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: there's your fuel free of fire this week. I mean, 776 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: ask him why they have the blues, Ask him why 777 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: they have to blue. He also mentioned he mentioned something 778 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 1: that we Pressia with fool that we've echoed hear um 779 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: a lot on this podcast is how much Cooper Rush 780 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: is while respected because he's been around so long, you know, 781 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 1: he knows the ins and out of the scheme of 782 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: the offense. He said that he should be able to 783 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: recognize the blitz because he has experience and h being 784 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: around the Cowboys. So I thought that was that was 785 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: interesting for him to mention. So, yeah, there's my tales 786 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 1: from the other side listening to Bobby Wagner, Sean McVeigh, 787 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: and Matt Stafford.

Hello, we know jazz Labs are pumpkin ladies. 835 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: Something we always talk about is the defense for this 836 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys team and just how effective they've been. Mike 837 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: McCarthy calling them the thermostat of this team because they 838 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: regulate what happens with everybody else. So it kind of 839 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,240 Speaker 1: feels like there's not much they can't do. But Aisha, 840 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,479 Speaker 1: as you pointed out during the break, there is something 841 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: maybe that they could work on. So I'm gonna send 842 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 1: things right over to you. Yeah. Absolutely So. Like I 843 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,320 Speaker 1: said earlier, I'm trying to figure out if Sean McVeigh 844 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: is going to surprise us all and be like, you 845 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: know what, let's actually let's actually try to run the 846 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: ball in these guys, because you know, to me, the 847 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: film says that in certain instances. I think that last 848 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: week the Cowboys did a far better job in the 849 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: second half cleaning up the run defense. But they are 850 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: going at the left side, well, opposite side, whatever, whatever side. 851 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence ain't know they're running away from him because 852 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 1: he's fantastic, and I think that they the Cowboys are 853 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to contain better. They're gonna have to really 854 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: trust their eyes. They're gonna have to shed and tackle. 855 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: This offensive line isn't a power offensive line, but they 856 00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: do have the ability to pull, reach, block, get eyes 857 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: off their mark, and really get to the second level 858 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: so this defense is going to I want them to. 859 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: I love the adjustments that are being made in the 860 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: second half DQ, I love it. However, I would love 861 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: for these gentlemen to come out and be that dominant 862 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: against the run to start the game. I do think 863 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 1: you get some help there with jay Ron Kurse coming 864 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: in filling in a lot of that linebacker spot. This 865 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 1: also too, I don't think offensively what they do. It 866 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: makes you have to get out of your base defense, 867 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: which is the big nickel, and they do that a lot. 868 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 1: So the safeties are gonna have to the cornerbacks if 869 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: they're in a situation where they have to come up 870 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: and tackle. They're gonna have to come up and tackle. 871 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: And a tray Von is shown that he is more 872 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: willing to do that because we saw that people were 873 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,840 Speaker 1: coming at him on us. So cornerbacks are gonna have 874 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: to come up and tackle. Linebackers are gonna have to 875 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,280 Speaker 1: trust their eyes be extensive and extinctive. And I also 876 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: want the d ends on the opposite side of Taint 877 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 1: to really come to play and contain better this game. 878 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: So I'm just looking at this little amazing packet that 879 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys PR puts together Haley was just gave me 880 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,280 Speaker 1: the idea of look. It is amazing, full of great information. 881 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: So on that note, I'm reading a little bullet here 882 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 1: that y'alla may or may not have heard this week. 883 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 1: But the Cowboys have not allowed their opponents to reach 884 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 1: twenty the twenty point mark this season, the first time 885 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have held their first three opponents to 886 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:21,919 Speaker 1: nineteen points or less since nineteen seventy three. Yes, kind 887 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: of crazy, making history. This team is making history. This 888 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 1: this Cowboys defense is making history. So that I'm just 889 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: reading that and that's not the compliant to look defense. 890 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 1: But I mean, what more do you want from may 891 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: like ladies, I want to ask you, so if you 892 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,399 Speaker 1: have a choice to any player, whether it be offensively, defensively, 893 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,399 Speaker 1: special teams, who do you think is going to have 894 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 1: a very good game just based on what we're seeing, 895 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: based on what we're talking about. If you had to 896 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: pick one player, who do you think is going to 897 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:58,320 Speaker 1: have a good game? Board? Sorry, my second family's walking 898 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 1: by my heart, not your second family. Yeah, it's my 899 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: best friend's family that are walking by. We love whenever 900 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: the tours go by. It's so much fun. I also 901 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: want to point out that my aunt right here, she's 902 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:16,320 Speaker 1: pregnant and she's gonna have baby Mica. So baby Mica 903 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 1: is coming into the world. So the baby's name is 904 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:23,919 Speaker 1: my baby. Her baby's name will be Mica. So incredible. Sorry, y'all, 905 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 1: I we're not supposed to get distracted by that, but 906 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: as my second family. But anyways, back to your players. No, 907 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: I joked and said Brett mar right, because we joked 908 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 1: about that not happening earlier. Because you put me on 909 00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: the spot, So are usha who's your who's your pick? 910 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 1: I've been talking really heavily on the dts um. I 911 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,800 Speaker 1: think they have an opportunity to have a good game 912 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: of the whole let's hater tots? Uh come back to me? 913 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: Can you go around? I don't know yet. Okay, Well, 914 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,919 Speaker 1: somebody I really want to see have a great game. 915 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: It's no shock to anybody. It's Noah Brown. Because I 916 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: think if you're gonna say Cavante Turpin, I'm gonna call 917 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 1: that would have been about there you go. You can 918 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: take that one. No, I'm I'm gonna say Noah Brown, 919 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 1: and only because I think, like you said, Haley, if 920 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: you're going to establish your identity this is the week 921 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 1: for him to do it. He's getting his respect. I 922 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 1: feel like the wheels are turning, but this is the 923 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: week to establish that and really solidify it. I think, yeah, 924 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: I like that. I like Noah Brown a lot. I 925 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 1: think that he's been such a steady presence for Cooper Rush. 926 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 1: And I know we've spoken about that in weeks past, 927 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: but just being able, you know, like stepping in to 928 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,719 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback role is not easy for anybody, whether 929 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 1: it's a rookie making their first start, a backup, or 930 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,839 Speaker 1: whatever it is. That's a really hard thing to do, 931 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 1: and so I think it's obviously easier when you have 932 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: somebody who you're comfortable with. So I love that Cooper 933 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 1: has his Noah and vice versa, because I think that 934 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: Noah has really benefited to having Cooper Rush out there. 935 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,879 Speaker 1: I think, for me, if I'm going to have anybody 936 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: have a good game, I'm really pushing for Michael Gallup. 937 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: I had a chance to speak to him one on 938 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,640 Speaker 1: one today in the locker room. I don't want to 939 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: give away too much of a spoiler. We have a 940 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,719 Speaker 1: feature piece running on him in our pregame live show, 941 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: so be sure to join us. On Sunday. I'm really 942 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 1: excited about that piece decoration. Watching your thing, Haley. We're 943 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:17,920 Speaker 1: so proud of you, by the way, thank You're killing it. No, 944 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 1: but in all seriousness, it's just like it's not hard 945 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 1: to be it is hard to be a starting quarterback. 946 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 1: It's really hard to come back from injury, especially an 947 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: ACL injury. We talked about Michael having the wherewithal to 948 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: say hey, I'm not ready yet, and then as a 949 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 1: result it benefited last week. He had a really big 950 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,160 Speaker 1: game last week, scored a touchdown um and speaking with 951 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 1: him today, I asked him, I said, you know, like, 952 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,839 Speaker 1: what's the what's the what's the change in mentality? Now 953 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: you have a game under your belt, you have a 954 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: week's more work of preparation. Does the mentality change at 955 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: all when you step onto the field this week? And 956 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: he said, oh absolutely, He said last week like I 957 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 1: was still nervous. I was still you know, afraid because 958 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 1: you never know what's going to happen, especially with a 959 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 1: knee injury. So I just think like it was cool 960 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,240 Speaker 1: to see him last week check that box of getting 961 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: back on the field. I think it'll be cool on 962 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,360 Speaker 1: Sunday to see him get back to that Michael Gallup, 963 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: that quintessential Michael Gallup that we know and love. So 964 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,880 Speaker 1: if that is my player on pay attention beautiful, I 965 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,959 Speaker 1: think you said my player, and I'm just gonna stick 966 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: to it because it actually makes a lot of sense 967 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 1: because I do think that the Rams are susceptible in coverage. 968 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 1: I think that Covanta Turpin is going to have a 969 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,759 Speaker 1: few opportunities there. I hope he takes him and he's 970 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 1: smart with the ball. But last week we talked about it. 971 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: The field position game is was huge, and I'm hoping 972 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 1: that they looked at the tape this game and they're 973 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 1: hopefully going to improve there. You obviously not going against 974 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: that Trey West that is insane. Trust trust Way rather 975 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: trust Way. That's insane as a punter. But field position 976 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: is going to be important in this game. Is always 977 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 1: going to be important when you have a backup quarterback 978 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,360 Speaker 1: as you're you know, running your offense right now. So 979 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 1: Kvanta Turpin, I ain't talking, I ain't said your name 980 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,359 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. Come on, come on with it, 981 00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 1: Turbo Turp. We're ready for you. Quick quick story Avante 982 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 1: before we wrap things up. Here. So my brother actually 983 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: played college football at the Air Force Academy. I'm just 984 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: name dropping all these things. I love it. But my 985 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,399 Speaker 1: dad actually sent me a video last week. I think 986 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 1: we were on our way to dinner and he's like, oh, 987 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 1: by the way, Like, I found this video on my 988 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 1: Facebook and I'll be sure to post it after this. 989 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: But it's a video of my brother marking Cavante Turpin 990 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,799 Speaker 1: at a Nike I D camp like five six years ago. 991 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: And again I'm gonna flex. My brother did get the 992 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,439 Speaker 1: win on that one. He was able to back down. 993 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 1: So I showed Cavante that at the locker room the 994 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: other day and he's like, man, I remember that day 995 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 1: and I got him back later on blah blah blah. 996 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,839 Speaker 1: So I think it'll be interesting to see if I'm 997 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 1: not taking any credit for that, but maybe it gives 998 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 1: him a little bit of boose.
