00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: brought to you by Jigsaw Dating. Today the first day

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys players are finding themselves back on the field

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: following Monday nights unprecedented event and the injury to Bill

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: safety to mar Hamlin, and as we all continue to

10
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: wait for news and pray for Hamlin's recovery. We were

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: able to catch up with both head coach Mike McCarthy

12
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: today as well as the players. Hayley, you were in

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: the press conference Mike McCarthy today. Maybe just give us

14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: a couple of highlights from that and how he's making

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: sure that players check in not only with themselves but

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah. I loved how I think, regardless, that

17
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: was the first question he was asked, but I think, regardless,

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: it was on his list of things to start with immediately,

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: So I loved that he really just expressed his concern

20
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: for Damar and his family. Sending condolences. But I really

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: thought was interesting though, is obviously all these teams across

22
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: the NFL are you talking about damar talking about how

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: it's impacted those players. And one of the things that

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Mike said that really stood out to me is that

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: they opened the spiritual playbook today. They spent time with

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: the team chaplain and really opened up, leaning into the emotions,

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: what everyone was feeling, what everyone was not feeling, and

28
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: really making sure that those guys are are nourished from

29
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: that way. And we've talked so often about how Mike

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: McCarthy is a pros pro when it comes to taking

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: care of these guys. But as you mentioned, this is unprecedented.

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: We've never really seen an injury like this before. So

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: he continues to impress me with his ability to be

34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: a players coach, maybe in a little bit of a

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: different way than we think of that word players coach.

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: So that was the number one thing that stood out

37
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: to me. Talked about making sure the guys had spiritual guidance.

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: That's what they needed, he said. I wrote down, Let's

39
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: be honest, no one is fine, no matter what we're saying.

40
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: We know what's in front of us. But right now, spiritually,

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: our playbook needed to be open. So I just thought

42
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: it was really important that he was keeping those guys

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 1: at the forefront, making sure that they're all looking out

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: for one another. He also said that he did not

45
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: see the play live. He said he heard about it.

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: It was obviously jarring. He talked about experiences that he's

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: had in the past with some players, so it really

48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: resonates with a lot of us. It hits a little

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: bit personal to some of the players in the locker

50
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: room as well, which we'll get into. But I really

51
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: just thought, you know, it's just so challenging to put

52
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: into words what everybody watched and what everybody saw and

53
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: how we feel. And I really just loved that term

54
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: spiritual playbook because you don't hear that a lot, and

55
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: so I thought that it was really good that they

56
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: were able to lean into that. Yeah, you know, watching

57
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: it and this is this is not a great comparison

58
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: at all. It's actually maybe I should be careful in

59
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: even making this comparison. But when we think about things

60
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: that we've never seen live on television before, I kind

61
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: of go back a little bit to September eleventh. We

62
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: had never seen planes crashing into a building. We'd never

63
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: seen a football game stopped down for as long as

64
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: they did, typically with an injury. I mean, I think

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: back to even Dak Prescott's injury, how brutal that was,

66
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: and seeing the emotions in his eyes, or I covered

67
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: a Final Four game with them, the player from Louisville.

68
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys remember how horrific that

69
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: injury was. It was sort of like shock and all

70
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: because you haven't seen it before. I think what really

71
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: stood out watching that game because some weeks I have

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football on, and even I don't know if

73
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: you guys know this, but would talk to some of

74
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: the players in the locker room. I'm not sure every

75
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: one of those guys had Monday Night Football on either,

76
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: because a lot of players sort of take a break

77
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: during the week. We've heard them say they're not watching,

78
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: so they were sort of watching it as the highlights

79
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: are coming through or whatever. But if you were watching

80
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: it in real time the way that I was, and

81
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: some of the guys that were, like Micah Parson said

82
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: you thought it was a concussion and not saying that

83
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: that's good either. But at least we were used to

84
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: seeing some of that, particularly this year with Twatunga Bayolola,

85
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: but he never gave the thumbs up. And when you

86
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: see football players that you're so used to being superheroesque

87
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: remove their helmets and you're seeing the shock on their faces,

88
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: the concern, the prayers, the tears, you knew it was severe.

89
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: And then when you've got broadcasters that have covered so

90
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: many of these games and they have very little to

91
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: say and you don't want to speculate. That's just again

92
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: when I make that comparison, and again I understand that

93
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: it's a little bogus in it's like apples to oranges,

94
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: But it was the shock and the raw emotion and

95
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: the concern for people you didn't know is what it

96
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: felt like. And then having people sort of marinate and

97
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: digest this information a few days later, and I think

98
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: it's good. The update that we've been getting is that

99
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: he's beginning to breathe a little bit more on his own.

100
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: His family members have been talking to some of the networks,

101
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: and so it sounds like it's trending in the right direction.

102
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: But as we talk about hitting a little closer to home,

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: there are two players that intimately know Damar Hamlin, and

104
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: one of those is Quadre Allison, the running back that

105
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: we had acquired. He is from the Buffalo area. He

106
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: told me went to Pittsburgh with Hamlin. He said they

107
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: were really good friends for four years. They were texting

108
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: just a few weeks ago. He commented on one of

109
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: Quadre's fits that he was wearing ahead of the game,

110
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: and he said he even flew up there for his

111
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: draft party, and he was so excited when he got

112
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: drafted to Buffalo because he was from there. And so

113
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: he said, he and his teammates, he said, he act

114
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: he didn't even knowingly put on his pit shirt today,

115
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: but he you know, he put it on. And he's

116
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: been in constant contact with a lot of his friends

117
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: and family. And I said, what's the one thing you

118
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: want people to know about Damar Hamlin that they may

119
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: not And they're like, his nickname is the neighborhood hero,

120
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: because that's who he was. He was a blue collar guy.

121
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: And I said, what is it that you know about

122
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: him that makes you confident he's going to get through this?

123
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: And he goes, it's because he is that blue collar guy,

124
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: he's that hard worker. He's going to figure this out.

125
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: And so. But that's a guy that's in this Dallas

126
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys locker room that has a personal connection to him.

127
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: Linebacker jibro Cox also was a pre draft workout partner

128
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: with him, and so you don't have to necessarily know

129
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: these guys personally. I think it hits close to home

130
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: because all of these was mark Ingram recently said on

131
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: k Adams Show he had a sister reach out to him, said,

132
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad if you quit playing football. You know,

133
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: like we've heard Tom Brady's wife talk about she didn't

134
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: care that he was continuing to play, but every time

135
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: she saw him in the game, she was worried about him.

136
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: I think that goes for all family members, and you know,

137
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: I just wonder you don't. You know, you're aware of concussions,

138
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: You're aware of injuries to your legs, your ankles, your knees,

139
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: but when it's something as severe as that, I just

140
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: wonder if there's some players that really take that to heart,

141
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: because we have seen guys walk away from the game

142
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: prematurely because they are concerned about their health. And so

143
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: I think all of this is resonating. I think there's

144
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: a lot of conversations being held both with players, coaches, teammates,

145
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: but also I think internally with their families. Yeah. Absolutely,

146
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: and something I really I'm glad you bring up family

147
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: because Mike McCarthy always says family first and then football,

148
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: and he echoed that in his press conference this morning,

149
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: of this is the time to show family first. In

150
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: this case, it's putting everybody on that team with each other,

151
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: having each other's backs, making sure everybody's okay. And again

152
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: we always praise Mike McCarthy on here for the mental

153
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: health awareness, but just giving the praise really across the

154
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: NFL to make sure that everybody is okay from what

155
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: they saw because again the guys on the field, the

156
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff, giving kudos to even just the medical staff

157
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: that that acted so quickly. So just prioritizing all of

158
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: those things. But absolutely, I think even I follow one

159
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: of the recently signing of the Raiders players. His wife

160
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: is viral and TikTok Alice and Kush. I don't know

161
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: if you if you follow her, but she talked about

162
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: it on TikTok and she just said, you know, this

163
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: hits very close to home considering I go watch my

164
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: husband play every day and you know, you don't think

165
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: that this is going to happen to your loved one

166
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: on the field, and so even when it happened, knowing

167
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: that his mom was there in the stands having to

168
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: see that, I can't I can't even imagine the emotions

169
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: that she felt. Um just seeing that and the shock.

170
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: And now that it's been a few days, I think

171
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: that shock factor from everybody starting to come down and

172
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: you see the reality of okay, what do we do next?

173
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: We make sure you know, everything's okay with everybody that

174
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: was impacted, because it was just such a traumatic and

175
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: shocking moment for everybody that, like you said, Jane, nobody's

176
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: nobody's seen before. Well, you know, Clarence Hill on media

177
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: Mash made a great point. You know Marcus Paul, the

178
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: team strength and conditioning coach, when he went down last year,

179
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: I remember how just shook a lot of these guys

180
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: were because it happened in the weight room. They tried

181
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: to revive him and they didn't, and those guys saw

182
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: that and they ended up having to play after that.

183
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: That was that was tough. I My heart goes out

184
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: to a lot of these Bills players and the Bengals

185
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: players for that matter. You know, how can you focus

186
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: on a football game when you when you see something

187
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: like that, because there are things that feel, you know,

188
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: bigger than the game itself. And so again, there's there's

189
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: only so much you can say. I hate pontificating on

190
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: this too much because it wasn't my family member. I

191
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: don't have a spouse or a loved one that's playing

192
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: in this league. All I know is I covered this game,

193
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: but my heart goes out to them as this feels

194
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: like it's really hit close to home for a lot

195
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: of people. It's a lot to consider, it's a lot

196
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: to reevaluate on. And one of the things that Mike

197
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: McCarthy said that stuck out to me and I'm sure

198
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: we'll go for it, but was that he just was

199
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: talking about each guy checking on the other guy and

200
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: just the fact that there's guys in this locker room

201
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: that are connected to Hamlin. It just reminds me of

202
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: so much of my military time. Like in just a

203
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: military in general, it's so big, but it's so small,

204
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: and the NFL's like that, like a lot of these

205
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: guys do know each other, a lot of these guys

206
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: did go to college together. Were roommates together across the

207
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: league and just see to see how it's affecting everyone.

208
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: Is something that I think I've I've seen, but just

209
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: on a different level. So it's it's just I don't know,

210
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: it's an emotional thing. That is, you do bring something

211
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: interesting when I think about that, You know, because you

212
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: were in such a group of people that you kind

213
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: of know what you're getting yourself into, right, And then

214
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: there are these unexpected situations when it does hit close

215
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: to home. What is that like for? It's different, It

216
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: takes a It takes a quite a bit of time.

217
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: It took me quite a bit of time to snap

218
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: back into being a warrior because when I was in uniform,

219
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: I took it very seriously and I felt like I

220
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: snapped into a place to where my survival was it.

221
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: And it was hard for me to rationalize a lot

222
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: of emotions because you don't have the time to feel

223
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: that sometimes. And with them taking this time off right

224
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: now and the team kind of taking some time away,

225
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: it probably is setting in for a lot of guys.

226
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: I had it plenty of times in my military career

227
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: where I was like, what am I doing right now?

228
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: And not in a bad way because you do that's

229
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do. But I know for me

230
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: and people that I've seen and plenty of other veterans,

231
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: and it takes quite a bit of time to snap

232
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: back into it. And you have to have people around you.

233
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: You have to have support. So hearing the outpouring of

234
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: support and people around everyone is the first start to

235
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: me is that everyone's in communication, because that I think

236
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: that's what hurts a lot of veterans, and I'm sure

237
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: is what hurts a lot of athletes as well. I

238
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: just wanted to add really quick because I was trying

239
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: to get this in earlier, but I wanted to listen

240
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: you guys talk. The update that the bill is the

241
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: latest that they posted about Tamar. They said Damar remains

242
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: in the ICU and critical condition, with signs of improvement

243
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: noted yesterday and overnight. He's expected to remain under intensive

244
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: care as his healthcare team continues to monitor and treat him.

245
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: That was at twelve thirty today. I believe that's the

246
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: most recent update. But to your point of you know

247
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: the military background, I obviously have never experienced that before,

248
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: and I always give you so much praise for doing

249
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: what you've done for you know, this country and free

250
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: family and everything. I spent a little bit of time

251
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: in college in athletic training for a couple of years,

252
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: and the one of the last projects or last projects,

253
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: one of the last checkpoints you have to make as

254
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: an athletic trainer is spine boarding. You've spineboarding, and then

255
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: you also have any type of like heart condition, how

256
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: you would handle that on the field. And I remember

257
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: that being like the scariest thing to have to pass

258
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: because when you think about spine boarding and how every

259
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: single person within that group has to do everything exactly

260
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: perfect otherwise that person is going to lose their life.

261
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: It's terrifying. That being said, I can't imagine what it's

262
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: like having to be a medical professional, you know, in

263
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: that scenario and you've trained for this kind of stuff.

264
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: I believe the term that's floating around, and I don't

265
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: want to say that this is for sure because I'm

266
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: obviously not a doctor, but commocial cortis is what's been

267
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: floating around where you get an impact at the exact

268
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: wrong time that your heart is beating and it just

269
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: shuts everything down or you go into cardiac rest. So

270
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. You know, you do this every day,

271
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: right like you're an athletic trainer or you're a doctor

272
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: or a medical professional, and you are ready for this

273
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: moment until it happens, and then all of the sudden

274
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: for them to be able to you know, keep their

275
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: cool and to keep this kid alive, and to keep

276
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: everybody around them cool, calm and collected, and to do

277
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: what they do. I can't speak enough on how much

278
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: medical professionals are so underrated a lot of time and

279
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: so incredibly necessary. And you know, so as we say,

280
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, our prayers for Jamar Hamlin, I'm like prayers

281
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: to those athletic trainers, prayers to those doctors for being

282
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: able to keep them alive. And I also think the

283
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: one of the most important parts of Monday night's game

284
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: is when both teams came to the field and they

285
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: surrounded Damar so that we couldn't see. And I thought

286
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: that that was such Initially when it happened, you were like,

287
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: what are you doing, Like why are you guys on

288
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: the field to give them some space, But obviously retrospect,

289
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: I just thought that that was so incredible that they

290
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: wanted him to even in that moment to say, to

291
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: have some dignity. Yeah, I just I keep when I

292
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: think about what's having. That's like literally the picture that's

293
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: up on my Twitter right now, it's just like that

294
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: powerful moment. So we're obviously all rooting for him. We're

295
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: for him, and we're hoping for the best. It sounds

296
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: like he's improving, so that's really good. And speaking of

297
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: the medical staff to something that popped up on my timeline,

298
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: because you know, a lot of things were coming up.

299
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: But Chris Progner, he was in the NHL and back

300
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight, it was in a playoff game.

301
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: Something very similar had happened to him, and so he

302
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: tweeted out giving kudos to the medical staff that saved

303
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: his life that day when it happened on the ice

304
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: again it was a blow to the chess that he suffered.

305
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: He posted the video and he just gave absolute kudos

306
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: to say, if the medical staff hadn't acted so quickly,

307
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would be here. Chris went

308
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: on to play I think the next week after all

309
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: of that, so he said, if it wasn't for that

310
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: medical staff, I would not have ever stepped foot on

311
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: the ice again and so again that was that was

312
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: back in the nineties. That was what twenty five years

313
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: ago that that happened. So this is not something that

314
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: you see often and it's not something that you ever

315
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: want to see in any sport. And so yeah, just

316
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: so many kudos to the medical staff that acted quickly

317
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: to save his life. And with that, we will take

318

00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: have got some injury updates this Wednesday. Yeah, the Cowboys

357
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: one makes me very happy. Tyler Beatdish out with an

358
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: ankle injury. Did not practice, but as we've talked about,

359
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: he's looking to be pretty good for the playoffs, so

360
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: that's positive. Kelvin Joseph missed today with a tooth injury,

361
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: and then the same thing would Tank. He's got that

362
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: foot injury he's been limited with. Tony Pollard was a

363
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: full participant and Layton vander esh was limited, So positive

364
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: signs there. I was joking with Patrick earlier on Twitter

365
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: because when we got the Washington Commander's injury report, both

366
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: of us had the same idea. I was going to

367
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: tweet he beat me to it. But like, is everybody

368
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: using like their unused PTO today because everyone's not practicing

369
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: their entire list of guys did not practice. You've got

370
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen, Say, Charles cam Carl Mean, Davis, Antonio Gibson,

371
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: Cornelius Lucas, Andrew Norwell, Brian Robinson Junior, James Smith, Williams,

372
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: Benjamin Saint just and Montes Sweat. All did not practice

373
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: for various reasons. There's a couple concussions on there, Montes

374
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: Sweat not on there. And Jonathan Allen what's his status?

375
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen has a knee injury. Montes Sweat is an illness.

376
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: I imagine he'll be fine, But it was a do

377
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: not participate or did not practice for Jonathan Allen. Every

378
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: single player I just listed did not practice and that

379
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: is the Washington Commander's practice report. So, like I said,

380
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: a little bit of a PTO lingering over from the

381
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two years. They wanted to get out of

382
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: the way. So Ron Rivera didn't seem like he had

383
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: a didn't seem like he necessarily had a plan to

384
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: sit or play his starters just yet, and he talked

385
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: about the importance of having them available next year. This

386
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: is a seven and eight one seven eight and one team.

387
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 1: They've gone through. How many different quarterbacks Hayley. We had

388
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: this fun little stat earlier. They have been through three

389
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: quarterbacks this season. Let me find it, eight different starters

390
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: though under Ron Rivera in three seasons, and Sam Howell

391
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: will now be the thirty third quarterback to start since

392
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: Washington's nineteen ninety one Super Bowl victory. So now let's

393
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: talk about Sam Howe. Sam Howe has never had an

394
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: NFL start. They're going to play him against the Cowboys because,

395
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: as Ron Rivera incredulously learned in the post game last weekend,

396
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: they're eliminated. There were, to be fair, there were a

397
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: couple of scenarios that needed to happen for them to

398
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: be eliminated. But this press conference announcing Sam Howe as

399
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: a starter, after this morning it was leaked that Taylor

400
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: Heineke was going to get the start after Carson Wentz

401
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: was an absolute disaster inactive Yeah if yeah, Carson Wentz mate, Yeah,

402
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: he may not even dress out for this one. He

403
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: was sixteen of twenty eight for one hundred and forty

404
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: three yards, three picks in a rushing touchdown. So we're

405
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: hearing this morning early and I'm prepping for the week

406
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: that Taylor Heineke's getting the start, which makes sense, right,

407
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: because I think Taylor has not I thought he's been

408
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: decent and some of his starts. A lot of people

409
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: are shocked that he wasn't your starter last weekend. Here's

410
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera confusing us all and if i'm Sam Howe,

411
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, the bar has been set pretty low.

412
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: Here here's the sound jask he plays for us. Well,

413
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: I think at first initially is obviously it's it would

414
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: be his first start, and it would become a little

415
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: bit of a circus, you know, having to deal with

416
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: all the things that come with being a starter. But

417
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: also you know, you look at the opponent and who

418
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: you're playing and what they're playing for. You know, going

419
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: with Taylor would have given us an opportunity to see

420
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: what they're doing, how they're doing it, and would have

421
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: given Sam a chance to take a look at it,

422
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, if we had gone with Taylor. But you know,

423
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know, at some point,

424
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: if Sam ever gets an opportuny to be a starter,

425
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: this would be the chance. Why not get it over

426
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: with now and go from there. But the most important

427
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: thing is that we're really intrigued in terms of watching

428
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: and seeing what Sam can do as a as a

429
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: quarterback in this lake. I just want to get it

430
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: out of the way a track. This a triout, right,

431
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: I just I just want to see what he going.

432
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: Of course it's a trial. This is a tryout right now,

433
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: like they was. But you don't sing though, because he is.

434
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: I was reading earlier too that he is the only

435
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: quarterback that is guaranteed to come back next year. So

436
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: I get the track. Yeah, he wanted to. I want

437
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: to know what you've got. But it does, it does

438
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: present an interesting challenge for the Cowboys. And I asked

439
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: to Marcus Lawrence about this, and Mica Parsons, you know,

440
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: if we think about it, in the last couple of weeks,

441
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: they've seen a lot of quarterbacks they haven't had a

442
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: lot of looks on, but they've got nothing on this guy. Now.

443
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: Mica did talk about a little bit of familiarity given

444
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: the fact they were both in the same draft class

445
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: and you're sort of familiar with some of these guys,

446
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: and he talked about this as a guy you know,

447
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: going to have to respect here, but you don't. Someone

448
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: brought up this interesting point, Uh, you knew what you

449
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: were getting with Carson Wentz like who his guy was? Right, Uh,

450
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: you knew that when you've got Taylor Heineke, who his

451
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: guys like Cooper Rush, we knew his guy was like

452
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: sort of Noah Brown, Who's Sam Howls guy. I think

453
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: I caught some preseason looks at him, and he likes

454
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 1: John Dotson like even and I creeped and found some

455
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: trying to camp stuff from them, And yeah, I think

456
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: the thing about Sam Man is like he's just the

457
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: oh no, he just seems like a gamer, like he's

458
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: ready to go, but he's shifty, he has some dual

459
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: threat ability, and he also is not afraid to throw

460
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: the ball downfield. He was not afraid to throw the ball. Sorry.

461
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: He was forty three sixty nine for twenty three yards. No.

462
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: Forty three of sixty nine. He was sixty two percent

463
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: completion five hundred forty seven passing yards. I mean, I

464
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: just feel like Ron Rivera at this point is sort

465
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: of putting his hands up in the air and saying, So,

466
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: what's interesting too is Ron Rivera talked about how this

467
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: kind of all came to be, and so when Carson

468
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: win Scott injured, he was taking a lot of the

469
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: backup quarterback reps. But he was told, you need to

470
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: work on your footwork and your decision making, and so

471
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: now you know, Ron Rivera went on to say, oh, yeah,

472
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: we had conversations with players and coaches and all of

473
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: the stuff we didn't I can tell you they didn't

474
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: to say that he fixed those things. And so it's

475
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: just very interesting that the decision was made so sporadically. Um.

476
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I mean, there's more to do. You

477
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: can trust me on this. There are layers to a story.

478
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: Oh we do. I just also feel like, though, like,

479
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: what do they have to lose in this? You know

480
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's just like, look, Washington has been

481
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: a spoiler before. That's why I'm saying you're here, and

482
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: this is why I bring all this stuff and we'll

483
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: get a little bit more into it tomorrow. Offense has

484
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: been a little spotty. As you talk about John Dotson,

485
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: though he leads the team and receiving touchdowns with seven,

486
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: he's got what thirty two catches four or fifty one yards,

487
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: But it's their pass rush that's top ten in the league.

488
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: And in fact, when I'm looking at their defense here

489
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: hold on a black, it's insane. Their front seven. I mean,

490
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: they heavily invested in this side of the ball. And

491
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: even as who was it I was talking to you today,

492
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: I was talking to a bunch of offensive linemen and

493
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: they said, their front seven guys or studs, This is

494
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern. They always win their one on ones. And

495
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting that they do have a very

496
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: very good defense now. And I'm also looking at this

497
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: offensive line for the Cowboys. I have never seen so

498
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: many different combination shifts. And I asked Zack Martin and

499
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: all your time you played at Notre Dame, you played

500
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: in Dallas, fever seen anything like this? He said no.

501
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: And I said, at one point, did you guys ever

502
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: get a little frustrated that you were playing so many

503
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: different guys out of position? He said, yeah, he said,

504
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: but look how much how well it's working at this

505
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: point this year. In fact, it was Connor McGovern Tyler

506
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: Biadas who told me that during the week, going through

507
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: my copious notes, listeners, there's that mr stuff. Ten to

508
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: twelve breths a week is how much? Yeah, ten to

509
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: twelve reps a week. They practice these guys out of position,

510
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: and so they've just they've been doing this just in case.

511
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: Not obviously, not to this degree. Did they expect they

512
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: were going to need to do this. But it is

513
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: wild to me that you can go in game and

514
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: just say, hey, Connor, we're gonna kick you in to center.

515
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna move Jason Peters over to left tackle, and hey, Tyler,

516
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: who's a rookie, We've already put a lot on your

517
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: plate this year, Bud, you're gonna move over to left guard.

518
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: That cool, And they seem to be doing okay, that's

519
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: not normal at all. And then I think what was

520
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: really fascinating to me is I did listen to this

521
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: comment from Stephen Jones on one to Fight through the Fan.

522
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: We talked about the high ankle sprain for Connor McGovern er.

523
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: Tyler bodish and he's gotta keep it together and he said,

524
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: Tyler Bodish, when you've it's the same high ankle sprain

525
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: on the same ankle, it tends to heal quicker. And

526
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: I said, what is that like? Explain that to me.

527
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: Are you like a starfish? And Tyler said, look, I'm

528
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: no doctor. He said, but it's kind of almost like

529
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: a muscle memory, like it knows what to do so

530
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: he feels good at you've talked about this before. He

531
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: feels like he's going to be ready to go by playoffs.

532
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: But to have this sort of flexibility on the offensive

533
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: line is something we've not seen in Dallas, and they

534
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: they've had themselves in a tough position and we've knocked

535
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Joe Philbin. I don't know if it's been on this show,

536
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: but it's been on at least media mash before when

537
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: we looked at this offensive line. But say what you

538
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: will about Joe. And I even said this to Joe

539
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: Philbin as he walked out of the locker room the

540
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: other day. I go, huh, they're really making you earn

541
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: that paycheck this year, aren't they. And he just kind

542
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: of gave this, like I mean, it's been a lot

543
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: for coach, and like I said, credit to him, and

544
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: credit to these guys who have stepped up the way

545
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: that they have this year and even in the draft

546
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: process in recent years. Remember they keep talking, but they

547
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: want position flex at certain positions, and you know it's

548
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: worked out for him. Yeah. I was just going to

549
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: say earlier, as someone who has literally one ligament left

550
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: in both of my ankles, after twenty plus years of

551
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: competitive soccer. It's a weird phenomenon with I don't know

552
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: if this is like with knees or with any other

553
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: body part. I can only speak on ankles because mine

554
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: are terrible. But it is this thing like now, and

555
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: it's so funny. I'll be walking and I'll just like

556
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: roll my ankle and I'm like, oh, and then it

557
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: hurts for like five minutes or depending on the severity

558
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: of it hurts for a little bit, and then like

559
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: the next day it's fine. So I would love to know.

560
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: I'd love to sit down and chat with the science

561
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 1: as far as like why that is what it is.

562
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: But I can confirm as a source that I don't

563
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: know what it is about ankles, but they do that

564
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: thing so well. Connora Govern did say something interesting to

565
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: me too today. So I said, when you're in practice,

566
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's a different look moving from a guard

567
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: position to a center. And he says he catches himself

568
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: at times because there is a different level of spotting

569
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: and you're setting the offense and the offensive line as

570
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: a center, and so as a guard you're looking at

571
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: certain things. But he says, I'm catching myself in practice

572
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: and even film study. Oh wait a minute, that's not

573
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: my job this week. And so I do think that

574
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: that's interesting. And you know, luckily offensive line is typically

575
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: your smartest guys on the team, that they're able to

576
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: sort of figure the stuff out. But I mean, it

577
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: just felt like this guy was falling at the beginning

578
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: of the season, just losing Tyrant Smith. Yeah, I think

579
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: you've lost every guy on this line except for Zach

580
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: Martin this season. Am I wrong on that? I think

581
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: Tyler's zen and Tyler and Tyler's been Yeah, and Tyler

582
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: then he did with an ankle or something for a

583
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: little bit, but he was still playing. Yeah's missed a game.

584
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: I didn't miss a game. But there you go, Barnacles. No,

585
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: you brought up now you brought up the offensive line

586
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: and going into this game because of how good this

587
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: it could get physical because that Tennessee game was physical. Yeah,

588
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: say what you will about Tennessee. They brought Mike Brabel

589
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: always brings those guys, and that was that was a

590
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: that was a tough game. Yeah. And if this if

591
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: this defensive line, like, if you don't know how good

592
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: they are, well, number one, you brought up how beefy

593
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: they are. I'm like, they drafted those guys to stop

594
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys run game. Layer. Of course it's gonna be

595
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: like that, but I was gonna say I like what

596
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: they do defensively with their front seven and with the Cowboys.

597
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 1: They the last time they played the Commanders, they had

598
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: put up like one hundred and seventy eight yards on

599
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: the ground against the Giants the week before and came

600
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: out against the Commanders and could barely run the ball.

601
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: I think they only average like two point nine yards

602
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: of carry, was very minimal. So if that doesn't tell

603
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: you how well this front seven can defend, obviously, you've

604
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: got some guys coming in this offensive line in this

605
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: offense that's kind of been weird with running the ball

606
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: this last couple of weeks. You're trying to find some

607
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: good traction going into the playoffs. I would like to

608
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: see how well they schematically figure out ways to run

609
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: the ball, get the tight ends involved, stuff like that

610
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: in this game. I love that you brought that up,

611
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: because Zach Martin and I did have that discussion. I said,

612
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: how much has it helped that you've had tighten help

613
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: this year? And he mentioned the fact I mean, look

614
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: how many times we've gone to four tight end sets.

615
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: And I said, specifically, what does that do to an

616
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: opposing defense? He said, when you've got big buddy guys

617
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: that have speed on you, you've really got to adjust

618
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: as a defense with the personnel that you're putting out

619
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: in the field. And so it has been a distinct advantage.

620
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: And he says he also can't remember when you've had

621
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: a running back duo that has been as effective, And

622
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: in fact, I think it was brought up today the

623
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys have never had a running back duo. We're both

624
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: have gone for nine hundred over and you've got Zeke

625
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: that I think is like what one hundred and forty

626
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: shy of getting a thousand yards this season, and you've

627
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: got Tony Pollard who only needs twelve. So kudos to

628
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: them for you know, again, we've we were talking about

629
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: this in media mash. This is the most heavily scrutinized

630
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: twelve win team besides the Vikings this season. But the

631
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: things that we've seen in Dallas are different than seeing

632
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: things that we've seen in Dallas in years past. They've

633
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: they've talked about wanting a commitment to the run game.

634
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: We've seen it. We've talked about the importance of it's

635
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: not always the guys on the roster that should be playing,

636
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: it's the most talented guys, and we're seeing that. I mean,

637
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: think about the amount of looks at Peyton Hender Shot

638
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: and Jake Ferguson have gotten over your franchise tag guy,

639
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz at times, Tony Pollard over Ezekiel, and it's

640
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: not necessarily over. It's sort of saving the legs of

641
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: some of these guys, so you have a fresher look

642
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: sometimes something too I wanted to throw in while we're

643
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: on the topic of tight ends and on the other

644
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: side of the ball, Washington I think is going to

645
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: use a lot of their younger tight ends to try

646
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: to mimic that same model that the Cowboys had put

647
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: out with this tight end group, because well, you have

648
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: a brand new quarterback who was making his NFL start.

649
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: You need all the protection you can get. So these

650
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: young tight ends, specifically John Bates and Coal Turner, I think,

651
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: are going to get their reps in for this game.

652
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas Clutch for Washington, but John Bates specifically last

653
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: couple of years not impressive. I mean, in twenty twenty

654
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: one he averaged for nearly fifteen yards per game and

655
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: then this year nearly eight. But coal Turner had his

656
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: best game in Thursday night against the Bears. He had

657
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: two targets for twenty three yards, but one of which

658
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: was eighteen yards. Not impressive with the passing, but I

659
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: think when it comes to blocking and making sure that

660
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: Sam Howell is protected, I think the tight ends for

661
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: Washington are going to play a big part in that.

662
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said something interesting today too, whenever he was asked,

663
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, how do you prepare for you know, different

664
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: quarterbacks or what you're looking for when you have these

665
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: types of matchups, and he says he looks at three

666
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: different things from a statistic and an analytical standpoint. He

667
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: looks at time of possession, rushes and completions for your offense,

668
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: and rushes and completions allowed. So I went back and

669
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: looked at Washington and how well they do that. We

670
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: know that they have the best third down defense in

671
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: the league, which I think will be very interesting matching. Yes,

672
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: and the rest of the Cowboys offense factoring in the

673
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: tight ends, because when you looked at the last matchup,

674
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: you didn't really have the established tight ends the way

675
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: they have established and developed. Now you mentioned being limited

676
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: on the ground. I think Zeke had like fourteen carries

677
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: for forty nine yards and Tony was like six carries

678
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: for eight yards, So it wasn't it wasn't very good

679
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: from that perspective. But again, the one two punches developed.

680
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: So when when you look at those things that Mike

681
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: McCarthy was talking about time of possession, Washington leads the

682
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: league in time of possession. They've had the ball for

683
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: five five hundred thirty one minutes and thirty five seconds,

684
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: but they've only scored thirty three touchdowns in that time

685
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: and they've only scored two hundred and ninety five points,

686
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: so eighteen point four points per game. That's what you're

687
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: looking at with that Washington team. As far as the

688
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: rushes and the completions from a passing standpoint, they've had

689
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 1: three hundred twenty three first downs. That's not important though,

690
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: because I'm at the wrong part of my notes. They've

691
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: had nineteen one, nine hundred ninety two rushing yards on

692
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: four hundred ninety seven attempts. That's good for fourteenth and

693
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: eighth in the NFL this season, they're averaging about four

694
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: yards per carry. From a passing standpoint, They've thrown for

695
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: three thousand, six hundred and fourteen yards on five hundred

696
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: and thirty four attempts, good for twenty first and nineteenth

697
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: in the league. They're getting about six point eight yards

698
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: per pass from whichever quarterback lines up behind center. And

699
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: I think that that is important because you talk about

700
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: the defense being so effective. Defense wins championships, yes, but

701
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: if your offense isn't complimenting that. We've seen that with

702
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 1: this Cowboys team, you're not going to get very far right. So,

703
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: sure that the defense kit can hold you great, but

704
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: if your offense isn't producing that, that number is right

705
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: there tells you that they're going to have to work

706
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: a little bit harder. Now you're factoring in a quarterback

707
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: who's never gotten true game reps. I think this boat

708
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: really well for the Cowboys. I also went back and

709
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: looked at those same numbers for the Cowboys just for reference,

710
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: so I could understand Dauts ranks sixteenth in time of

711
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: possession four hundred and seventy nine minutes and fifty seven seconds,

712
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: but they've scored fifty four touchdowns four hundred and sixty

713
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: one points. They are second in the NFL with twenty

714
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: eight point eight points per game. They have passed for

715
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: three thousand, seven hundred and eighty three yards on five

716
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: hundred eighteenth passes. That's good for sixteenth and twentieth in

717
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: the league. As for rushing, they have rushed for two thousand,

718
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty four yards on five hundred and

719
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: four carries. That is good for seventh and fifth in

720
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: the NFL. So we've talked about it time and time

721
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: again on this podcast. How do you get your offense

722
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: to go, You'll lean on the run game. I think

723
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: this is a really good opportunity to get Zekentoni to

724
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: that thousand yard mark and to really show like we're

725
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs on a high note. I think

726
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: the good news when you look at this game is

727
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: offensively their bottom of the barrel this year, so you're

728
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: not going to find yourself necessarily in a shootout. But

729
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: this defense is tough. I mean, to your point, they

730
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: are the fourth ranked total defense fourteenth and scoring defense fourteenth,

731
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: and rushing D fifth in scoring D and then as

732
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: you said, first and third down, and they're also tenth

733
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: and sack. So this is gonna be a tough team defensively.

734
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: That's why you need your offense on. But I don't

735
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys can get themselves in a shootout that

736
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: we've seen in some of these other games this year.

737
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: But I was there in Nashville, y'all. That was a

738
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: nasty game finding out umbrella. I looked pathetic. I had

739
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people reaching out to me, going, Jane,

740
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: it's only like fifty something to grease and you look

741
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: like I'm like when you were standing out in the

742
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: cold rain from I was there from eleven o'clock and

743
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: tell what eleven pm that night. Yeah, I'm dressed for

744
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: the elements, folks, and I'll be dressed for the elements

745
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: again this weekend. But hearing Josh Dobbs right before I

746
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: went on NFL Now was going to start, I often

747
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: wonder if Ron Rivera should have just held off on

748
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: this one and released this one a little bit, because

749
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: I feel like they were caught off guard. And when

750
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: I asked them of the players about that, they even

751
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: said they were caught off guard for a little it.

752
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: Then they sort of adjusted not to somewhere from what

753
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: we saw with the Houston Texans game. So there you

754
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: have it. We love Mica Parsons around here. I don't

755
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: know if I'm speaking for the group, but I think

756
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: I can speak for the group. He's always some one

757
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: of my favorite SoundBite. I don't know if you guys

758
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: watched the game, he was playing with a clubbed hand.

759
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: Is that going to be the case against Washington? Will

760
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: update and what exactly happened to MICA's hand? It's clubgate.

761
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: We've got that on the other side of the break,

762
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: Girls Talk, Boys Talk, brought to you by Jigsaw Dating,

763
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: the official dating app of the Dallas Cowboys. At Jigsaw Dating,

764
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: we obviously want the Cowboys to bring that sixth ring home,

765
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: but to be honest, we're more focused on finding the

766
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,719

793
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: But first, Jess, it's only right that the best fans

794
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 1: in the whole world get out of this world's gear.

798
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: All right, in the break, you guys want to talk

799
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 1: about it. I have not been the most respectful to

800
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: James Washington. When I talked about James Washington, I always

801
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: said I didn't want to talk about him because he

802
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: didn't do anything in Pittsburgh and I didn't see him

803
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: do anything here, And sadly he was entered and we

804
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: didn't get to see it. Jess, I know you love

805
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: talking about him in the talking to him in the

806
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 1: locker room in Develt. A great relationship. I'll pour out

807
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: my water for him, thoughts and prayers. Mike McCarthy said

808
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: that he hoped to see him again, and I do

809
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: hope he gets another opportunity. But the riding was on

810
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: the wall when he saw t Y and he had

811
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity, and unfortunately it didn't come through, So I

812
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: don't wanted to be disrespectful to him. I respect everyone

813
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: in their jobs, but James Washington no longer here. All right,

814
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: let's move on. Mica Parsons. He was playing with a

815
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: club to hand in this game. He went. I asked

816
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: somebody last week, I said, what happened to MICA's hand?

817
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: And they said, he cut it? I said, what do

818
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: you mean? And no one would explain it to me,

819
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: And so it's this big, mysterious thing. And then it

820
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: was funny. Clarence Hill reminded me that Dez Bryant also

821
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: similarly had to cut hand a few years ago, and

822
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: when we asked Doz about it, he said he was

823
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: cutting carrots for soup, which was not the case. It

824
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: wasn't even a big deal. What actually happened to it.

825
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: Clarence and I knew, but we never reported, and again

826
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: not a big deal. But because Dez never put it

827
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: out there, we didn't feel like it was important to

828
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 1: put it out. So Mica is having a similar approach

829
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: to this club had, and we will never know what

830
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: happened to the club hand. But I think what's most

831
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: important is he played through it. He will not have

832
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: a club as well. I think that's also equally as

833
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,479
Speaker 1: important is that I did think it was interesting too, though,

834
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: because I was actually paying attention to that during his

835
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: press conference, and the whole time he just kept it

836
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: tucked away in his little pocket. And there was at

837
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: one point where he lifted the opposite hand and I

838
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: was like, is that the one? Is that the hand?

839
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: And he kept it you could tell, like in his

840
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: hoodie pocket, like he was moving it as he was

841
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,959
Speaker 1: talking about it, but he was very adamant about keeping

842
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: it in that pocket. Is to me, I don't know

843
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: an avenger with it, you know, as Clarence said, it

844
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 1: was probably he was doing some clown stuff. So whatever

845
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,959
Speaker 1: he did, he doesn't want to talk about, and that's fine.

846
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: There are some things that are meant to stay in

847
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: the locker room, and so if he don't want to

848
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: talk about it, I'm not gonna dig too much. And

849
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: like I said, as long as he was able to

850
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: play through it, yep. It's kind of like when someone

851
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: shows it to work and they're a little hungover. As

852
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: long as they do their job, I can't really tell.

853
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm like, as long as you play her whatever,

854
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: I doot it. Not to say I haven't done that

855
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: several times in my professional career got harder as I

856
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: got older. Ladies, It's New Year's and as we get

857
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: into that, one of my New Year's resolutions is I'm

858
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: doing what everyone's doing. I'm on the Keto diet. But

859
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: part of that, to accelerate my keyto nous was to

860
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: give up alcohol for the month, which is honestly not

861
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: that hard for me. So that was Yes, that's one

862
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: of my New Year's resolutions. But I also thought we'd

863
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: have a little fun with this when it comes to

864
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys in the new year. Moving forward, Here's

865
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: what you will do and what you won't do. So

866
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: I'll go first, Ladies, in the new year, I won't

867
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: doubt the rookie class. Ever again, so many robust playmakers,

868
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: namely dron Bland, and I honestly didn't expect him to

869
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: have the season he did. Here's what I will continue

870
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: to do. I will continue to pound the table for more.

871
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: T Y Hilton. He's not just a third down guy.

872
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: He's a take it to the house guy of it

873
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: who wants to go next with there what I will

874
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: and won't ya think y'all, it's a so good. Okay,

875
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go next. What I will do right? What

876
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: I will do or did you do? What you? What

877
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: she will do in the new year, and what she

878
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: won't do in the new year as it relates to

879
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, I'm gonna do my won't First.

880
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: What I won't do in the new year is talk

881
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: any mess about Ceedee Lamb because he that has had

882
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: a phenomenal season. I think he is peaking at the

883
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: right time. That cliche of it's not how you start,

884
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: it's how you finish. I was comparing some of his

885
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: numbers to some of the best guys in the league

886
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: right now, guys like Justin Jefferson, AJ Brown, and he's

887
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: right on pace with those guys. He's a top ten receiver.

888
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: So I will not ever not consider a Ceedee Lamb

889
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: an elite wide receiver ever again, put some respect on

890
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: his name. For some respect. I need to raise my

891
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: hand there too, because I was quite vocal at the

892
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. I'm like, yeah, he has not

893
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: embraced this number one wide receiver role. And things that

894
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: I will do more of in the new year is

895
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: advocate for a big check for Bret Moher. He has

896
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: been lights out. I was joking with some of the

897
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: other day because Lionel Messi, the soccer player for Argentina

898
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: and PhD. I've always said Lionels, So it's Leon Lionel. Yeah,

899
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: Leo Leo. I'm not a soccer girl, so I don't know. Yeah,

900
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: but I was reading an article. He has the most

901
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: expensive insured body part I think in all of soccer,

902
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: and I think he's up there in the top three

903
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: in all of sports. His left foot, his famous left foot,

904
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: is insured for nine hundred million dollars. So so I'm

905
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,479
Speaker 1: just saying, Brett Maher and get in touch with Leo,

906
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: get that foot insured and keep it coming. At Stephen Jones,

907
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: at Jerry Jones, get this man a contract because he

908
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: is that guy this season magic, he will continue to

909
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: be that guy. Well, I'm very sad you took my

910
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: What I will do. What I won't do is I

911
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: won't ever doubt Bret Maha. Again, that was very vocal

912
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: on blogging the boys when all this first happened, of

913
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: how everyone was. But if somebody says they weren't, they lie. Yeah,

914
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: they sit on a throne of lie, Yeah they do.

915
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: But what I will do is I'm gonna change it

916
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: to say I won't ever discredit Tyler Smith and all

917
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: of the work he's put in because during the offseason

918
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: there was a lot of talk about Tyler Smith not

919
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: being able to hack it. And you know, I won't

920
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: ever doubt that he has his money where his mouth is.

921
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: So Tyler Smith, you get my kudos. Now. What I

922
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: won't do, ladies, what I won't do talk about penalty.

923
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: I can't wait for this. That's what I will do, right,

924
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: It's what I will do. Okay, what I will do

925
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: is I will continue to talk about penalties. But I

926
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: am firm on the new year. Knew me. That's not

927
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: a real thing. So it is new year, save me.

928
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: I will continue to talk about penalties, and I will

929
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: be proud of that because as soon as we started

930
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: talking about it, guess what happened? They started mentally focusing her.

931
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 1: It got better played. They played this podcast and that film.

932
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: Really why shut her up about the penalties already? Oh

933
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: my god? And everyone watching is like, we're tired of

934
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: taking shots during the show, like, please shut up about it.

935
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: It's my self awareness. I will I will continue to

936
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: talk about penalties, but I will give credit to where

937
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 1: credit is due in that they have put that mental

938
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: focus in gear and it is a fixed problem for

939
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 1: now of it we'll see. I see a right varnacle, y'all?

940
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: All right? So what I won't do is it ha

941
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: go yes. So what I won't do is question whether

942
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: Dak trust his body. Now he has ran the ball

943
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: thirty nine times for one hundred and sixty six yards,

944
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: averaging four point three yards on those carries fifteen it's

945
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 1: about fifteen yards a game, and it just matters. It's

946
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: it's mattered. It's mattered, open up the run game. But

947
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: even last year there were plenty of times where you

948
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: were just like even in the sand frame game, like

949
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: run the ball, run the ball, run the ball. But

950
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: post the calf injury, post the leg injury, we knew

951
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 1: this was going to be like a slow burn for him.

952
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: So what I won't do is not trust the fact

953
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: that he is going to run the ball when it's necessary.

954
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: And that's a huge part of what's made him him

955
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: and this offense good. And what I will do, Lord

956
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: dan Quinn, I'm trusting you here. I'm going to trust

957
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: dan Quinn I don't like how serious matter. It's a

958
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: serious matter. I'm going to trust him with this young

959
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: defense on the back end and these horses on the

960
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: front end, to get this defense back to the level

961
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: that it was, or at least close to the level

962
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: that I was playing on. What am I doing? Oh yeah,

963
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: to get this level, get this defense back at the

964
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: level is playing on at the midpoint of the season.

965
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: I like it. I got some guys coming back, hopefully

966
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: to restore some order. You were worried that your good.

967
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: I know that. Great. Well, the deck one was a

968
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: little I didn't think y'all was going to agree. Y'all

969
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: know he's trusting his blad man. When you see when

970
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: he's out there running and using his legs more uh

971
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: in recent weeks. Yeah, I gree with you. I don't

972
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 1: think it's even a thought in his head. Just twenty

973
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: five yard QB sneak against whoever it was at home

974
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: and everyone's like st And you talk about on third downs,

975
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys being so good at their downs, A

976
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: lot of it is him being able to pass the

977
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: bauble when they get into short yardage situations. Having that

978
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: option is helping out this deep this offense a lot.

979
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: It's gonna about this run game, all right. Well, what

980
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: I will do is continue being a part of this

981
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: girl's talk, Boys Talk. It has been a lot of

982
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: fun in twenty twenty two. Let's have a lot more

983
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: fun in twenty twenty three. And what we won't do

984
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: is ignore you, the fans. So if you've got any feedback,

985
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: let us know. We will be back here same time

986

00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: into Cowboys versus Washington to finish up the season and

988
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,960
