Wow, that is not how you 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.240 expect a Monday night football game to go. I was 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.320 definitely honed in watching as I'm sure both of you were. 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:10.800 Christy, I know you were at Cowboys Hour. 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:11.240 Yeah. 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.759 It was literally on our way home. It just left 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.679 the Star District in Frisco and turned on the radio, 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.880 and the crowd's going wild because Rogers is running out 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.320 on the field for the first time. And then within 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.479 two minutes o'clock time, just four plays and he's out 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:30.840 for the year. And what's funny is just forty five 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.480 minutes earlier, Leyton Vandersh, who was the guest on The 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.280 Cowboy Hour last night, was talking about how excited he 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.440 was to go against Aaron Rodgers again and for the 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.000 first time with the Jets, but Layton had gone with him, 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.759 gone against him when Aaron was with the Packers, of course, 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.840 and Layton was saying, was this is how you really 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.000 can measure your defense, right, I mean, the different challenge 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.480 is week to week, but going against one of the 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.040 all time great quarterbacks in a future Hall of Famer, 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.880 he felt like it would be a good measure for 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.280 late and personally, but particularly for the unit overall. But 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.920 instead it's going to be Zach Wilson getting the start 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.600 for the Jets Sunday afternoon at and T Stadium. 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.640 Absolutely, and we always talk about here on the podcast 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.920 just how hard it is to see these injuries happen 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.600 to any player across the NFL. But Aaron Rodgers' story 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.799 in particular of closing the chapter with the Green Bay 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:24.840 Packers deciding to go to the New York Jets, the 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.160 Jets really building this team around him. He finally gets 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.680 this start. He's running off on the field at the 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.120 start of the game, holding the American flag in tribute 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.040 for the nine to eleven memorial that they did before 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:35.520 the game. 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:37.400 The crowd is electrified. 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.359 The tweets before the game were him running with that flag, 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.360 how excited everybody was. Four plays into the entire game, 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.720 and you just knew something was wrong. You could just 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.640 see it. The way he got up. He had this 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.480 really weird look on his face, and then he went down. 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.200 He didn't crash down, He just kind of sat down, 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.799 rolled back, got up, and sat, I should say. 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:02.760 And then that's when the medical staff went to go 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.040 to him. Are you shaw. 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.079 I'm sure you were watching the game, but for you, 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.919 it's just such a shocking moment. I feel like a 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.799 lot of us are still in shock, kind of taking 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.960 in what happened with Aaron Rodgers. What did you see 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.520 when all of that happened. I mean, it was just 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:23.040 so quick. 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:24.360 Why I'm gonna lie, y'all. 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.120 The older I get, the more I accidentally take naps, 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.400 and so I woke up from a nap and literally 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.880 as soon as I woke up was when it was happening. 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.200 So I woke up my TV's on because I had 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:38.920 already had a set on the game, and I was like, 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:40.480 ain't no way. 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.800 Bro, Like, it's devastating. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.160 And I think in my lifetime we experienced some of 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.680 the Tony Romo injuries and stuff, but Dak Prescott's the 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.960 first quarterback that I've studied from college into the league, 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.200 and to see him be out with that ankle injury 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.920 and just how much that shook the team up in 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.880 that moment, but then also to around him, but then 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.000 also to just the feeling the weight of knowing the 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.279 extent of his injury. And during that time, I empathize 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.440 for the Jets fans and stuff because there was just 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.960 a lot of optimism to what Aaron Rodgers could bring 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.159 to the team. So I feel for the fan base, 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.000 definitely feel for the team, even though I think they're 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.800 going to rally behind twoever's back there, but it was 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.040 it was tough, and to see the responses on social media, 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:30.200 it was not I mean, it ended well, but you 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.160 still could feel it you know what I'm saying, you 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.680 still could feel it. So someone that great, that important 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.200 to the game, to see him get injured like that 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:37.120 is tough any time. 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.960 Absolutely, the Jets would pull off the overtime win twenty 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.479 two to sixteen. What an ending And what was so 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.560 chilling about it was the excitement that everybody had right. 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.960 When when the game ended. Everyone was so happy, so excited. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.760 But then you just you watch it and you kind 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.919 of just look at the wind for what it is 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.000 in the moment, and as soon as the game ends, 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:05.600 you remember, whoa, Yeah, there's a really big injury. This 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.479 really could change the course of things. And it's Aaron Rodgers. 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.520 It's not just any quarterback you're talking about. Not to 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.560 say that, you know, he's more important than the next 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.680 guy that gets hurt, That's not the case. It's he 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.560 is a once in a lifetime quarterback, whether we like 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.280 to say it or not, whether we like to admit 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:27.000 it or not. Here in Dallas, he really is a 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:28.000 quarterback of the time. 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.719 Oh we know better than anybody Alas because it's been yeah, boogeyman, 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.640 dagger to the heart for the of the Cowboys, and man, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.000 I will admit he is my all time favorite NFL 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.640 player to watch non Dallas Cowboy. I love to watch 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:49.320 Aaron Rodgers. He's special. And it was crystallized that twenty 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.600 sixteen Divisional Round playoff Cowboys loss. That was the one 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.480 at at and T Stadium where it's third and twenty 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.400 and Rogers rolls to the left and throws the ball in. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.000 Jerry Cook, the tight end for the Packers, just comes 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.840 out of nowhere, going towards the sideline and goes down 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.000 to his knees and catches the ball. Byron Jones for 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.480 the Cowboys actually had good coverage there, but as Rogers 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.080 was rolling left that ball it was coming right to me. 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.120 I was like a third baseman ready to catch it 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.760 on one hot and then all of a sudden, Cook 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.000 just you know, from your peripheral vision you could see 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.599 him coming over. It's like, huh, this one's out of bounce, 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.200 and then suddenly he caught it, and then Mason Crosby 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.880 kicks the field goal to win and Cowboys another exit 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:36.560 from the playoffs. And he's just the guy is just 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.840 a shive to the heart every time, you know, for 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:44.280 Cowboys fans. But you know, that win was incredible though 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:48.320 And what was really cool from a local perspective is 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.640 the young rookie who had the punt return touchdown for 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.600 the Jets, Xavier Gibson, of course, became known. If you've 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.680 been watching Hard Knocks on Max, you know that you 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:01.680 know a little bit about his story. But he's a 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.560 local Dallas kid, Woodrow Wilson High School and then went 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.200 to Steven F. Austin. So what a what an ending 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.520 and what an introduction to the NFL for Gibson? 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:11.600 Absolutely yeah. 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.760 And that Jets defense, oh yeah, it gives us plenty 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:16.440 to talk about. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.840 Man, gives us plenty to talk about as we start 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.960 to kind of turn the page here on Girls Talk, 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.840 Boys Talk for the matchup against the Jets. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:26.800 One thing I did want to mention is Jerry Jones 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:28.840 went on one O five to three The Fan this morning. 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.200 Of course he was asked about his reaction to the injury, 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.080 and he was just very quick to say, you know, 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.320 it was sickening. It just made him feel sick, made 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:44.040 everybody feel sick that had to see it. He was 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.360 He said he was reminded at how fragile a season 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.880 can be for a player, and it's funny that you 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.920 bring up the Jared Cook catch because he said that 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.640 Aaron Rodgers has taken his toll on the Cowboys with 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.600 two specific games in mind, that was one of them, 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.280 the other one. Can anybody guess what the other game 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.040 was with the Packers that he needed to does the 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.640 does catch one? Because des did catch it, as we know, 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:12.560 And so. 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:13.880 He talked about those two moments. 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.160 But overall, Jerry Jones just very somber when he was talking. 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.920 About it's bad for the league, you know, to lose 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.080 one of the premier guys, and there are all sorts 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.120 of repercussions. The Green Bay Packers instead of getting a 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.600 first round draft pick and trade, they're going to get 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.600 a second round pick because Rogers is not going to 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.000 play two thirds of the snaps this year. Look at 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:38.680 all the money that is against the Jets cap for uh, 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.400 their starting quarterback and a franchise future Hall of Famer, 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.040 and then you know, and he signed seventy five million 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.800 dollars guaranteed, and even if he wants to come back 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.360 next year in rehabs, he will be older. So I mean, 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:55.440 these are these are serious consequences, not just for the Jets, 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.280 but there's a ripple effect that that touches the whole league, 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.520 And and what about what about the NFL schedule makers? 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.440 Why are the Jets on so many primetime games and 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:06.920 being featured and stuff? 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.720 That might change? It might it might. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.840 I mean later in the league when you have some flexing, 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.480 maybe they get flexed out. But hey, we saw that 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.679 defense last night for the Jets. This is still this 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.200 is still going to be a team to contend with. 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:26.240 And and you see their run game, and so you know, 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.520 Zach Wilson hadn't done anything in his first two years 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.440 in the in the NFL other than falling to third 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.559 stream quarterback. But now he has his chance and a 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.719 new coordinator and and so you know, we'll see now 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.400 he has a chance to prove himself. He was the 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.240 second overall pick in the NFL draft. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.440 Yeah, I think it'll look a lot like what the 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.560 Cowboys look like with Cooper Rush, especially since your defense 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.480 is so explosive. Can turn the ball over? 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.400 Can you know? Pressure at a high clip? 0:09:56.160 --> 0:10:00.679 You probably take a conservative, conservative game plan moving forward 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:04.440 with Zach Wilson. Just let him methodically use the run game. 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.600 But I will tell you, if they can't run the ball, 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:07.480 it's gonna be a problem. 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.760 Yeah, but they got Breis Hall and then's. 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:10.920 Cook and that's fine and dandy. 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.840 But I'm saying like there's if they come up against 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.000 the team that can stop the run, there's a lot 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.440 of issues in the passing department, especially from. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.640 Their offensive line standpoint better in the run gang.

I also just wanted to 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.600 make mention that Mike McCarthy just talked about facing Aaron. 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.000 Rodgers again yesterday during his press conference as well. 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.679 He said, let's see that he was excited to see 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.640 him again, and most of all, he was excited about this. 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.760 New chapter in Aaron Rodgers' life, and Aaron knew that. 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.200 So it's just so chilling when you think about the 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:43.120 timing of these things. 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:44.480 McCarthy had just said that. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.000 Right before we came on here on Girls Talk, Boys Talk, 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.640 we go home, we're settled in, we're taking in thep 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.920 we're doing Cowboys Hour, feeding the dogs.

Lady, 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.600 something that we didn't get to mention yesterday and as 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.120 soon as we left here, I think I even told 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:22.600 that Yosha. 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:23.959 Oh, we didn't mention this. 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.280 It's been sitting on my heart, so happy to talk 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.040 about it. That is Jalen Tolbert being this team starting 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:33.400 gunner and John Fossil talked about it yesterday as well, 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.480 which I just think is so awesome to see this. 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.360 Jalen Tolbert comes from a background that doesn't really have 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.640 him pegged as a special teams guy. However, for him 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:47.920 to come in his second year, after you know, a 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.080 year not full of opportunity for him, and then to 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:54.000 come in not only solidify a spot in the offense, 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.600 but also now in special teams in that gunner position, 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.600 I think is so incredibly cool for him. Really excited 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.840 to see that. John Fossil yesterday made mention saying that 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.559 he is committed to being a player on special teams 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.840 and he's becoming a No Brown type guy for that unit. 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.320 So just really excited to see that. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.200 Ayisha, this is something that I think you had mentioned 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.720 well before we saw it come to light. Something you've 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.600 seen from JT and you talked to him. You've talked 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.440 to him all year, he talked to him all last year. 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.120 Is his confidence boost? How is that going to help 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:28.120 him in that gunner position. 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.040 I mean, well, special teams is just the We've talked 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.480 about it the other day. It's just the physicality of 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.000 it and just getting involved in that also too. But 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:40.520 there's specialized you know, jobs and things within playing special 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.720 teams that you have to be on assignment. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:43.840 Your timing has to be. 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.040 Right, you have to be there, and I just think 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.920 I just think him having some responsibility outside of being 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.880 a receiver maybe not getting any He didn't get them 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:52.480 any opportunity. 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:53.920 I don't think he really got that. He did. 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.440 He got a couple snaps at the end of the 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.720 game last game. But it'll keep them warm too, keep 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.160 them active, keep them involved, And I think that matters 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.240 when you have a young player that's trying to continue 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.800 that confidence. Having a spot on special teams and him 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.000 earning that allows him to stay on the field in 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.840 some way and to continue to keep that confidence. Because 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.240 we're on the sidelines a lot, it's very easy for 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:14.880 that to dwindle. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.440 Sure, Absolutely, when you're the fourth, fifth, and or sixth 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.920 wide receiver on an NFL team, you have to play 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:21.920 special teams. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:22.440 If you're the. 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.320 Second, third, fourth running back, same thing, second third, fourth 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.280 tight end, Absolutely you're going to be a core guy, 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.280 and Tolbert had only gotten one rep at gunner in 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:37.840 preseason action and that was Game two. But yes, you're right, Jess, 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.680 he didn't have that background at University of South Alabama. 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.440 He was too valuable, you know, he was. 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.720 Offensive player of the Year for the conference, and they're 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.040 not going to risk their top wide receiver out there. 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:53.360 He said that he had only fielded two punts. We 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.760 had him for our first Cowboys Hour of the year 0:15:56.320 --> 0:16:01.600 and that was actually Labor Day that evening. Anyway, he 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.640 said that twice he had been on the field in 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.160 college and it was for safe punt return, you know, 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.720 just make sure you catch the punt and don't fumble 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.560 it or don't return it. And that was his vast 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.440 experience of special teams in college. But you know, I 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:21.840 think that people forget what a great duo the Cowboys 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:26.840 had at gunner with Kelvin Joseph and C. J. Goodwin. 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:31.560 And so when Kelvin Joseph was traded to Miami just 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.440 a couple of weeks before the season regular season started, 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.160 then that was the opening in Jalen Tolbert. He's embraced 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.920 the challenge and Jes you're right. He did draw praise 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.480 from coach Fossil yesterday, so I was glad to hear 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.640 Fossils always enthusiastic about everything, but it's certainly well placed 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:49.680 when it comes to Jalen. 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.560 You know, it's so funny you see John Fossil and 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.400 you just don't know what you're gonna get. Ayusha and 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.720 I were standing outside the locker room last week waiting 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.320 for the players to come in, and I don't know if 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.000 you're standing right there yet, but we see Bones walking 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.600 in and he has a scooter, like this random scooter 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.160 that he's writing in, and we're like, what is he doing? 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:10.720 And then didn't he have a ball or something too? 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:11.000 Really? 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.679 How you doing? Just living great coach. 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.600 I've talked to past players a lot about how much 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:22.240 he's impacted their life, and I don't think he gets 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.679 enough praise. I don't think he gets enough credit for 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.000 the kind of coach that he. 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:27.600 Is and the impact he has on these guys. 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.520 Sometimes, let's talk a little bit more special teams. Christy, 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.760 I know you wanted to make mention of this because 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.840 again we like to give all credit to all units 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.320 here on the podcast, But let's talk about a couple 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:44.159 interesting nuggets from special teams that you saw kind of 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.120 things that went wrong but could end up going right 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.000 for the Cowboys in the long run. Specifically with Brandon 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.000 Aubrey and his missed kick. Tell us a little bit 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:57.199 more about what happened and kind of how that can 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:58.720 help be a learning lesson for Brandy. 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.679 Yeah, a huge one. Coach Fossil was talking about this. 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.040 But if you recall the missed extra point, it was 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.240 early in the game, and so it was after the 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:12.560 first touchdown obviously, and that was the blocked field goal returned. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.520 And so that's called sudden change, all right. It's like 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.640 if there's a turnover and sudden you know, let's say 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.920 when Stefan Gilmore got the interception and then the offense 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.560 has to run out there's that sudden change when you 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.720 have a surprise touchdown, like on a blocked field goal 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:35.640 and now Cowboys now the extra point team, the field 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.560 goal team has to run out there to convert the 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.840 extra point. That sudden change. So what John was pointing 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:45.440 out with the mix with Aubrey, the learning the teaching 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:49.200 point and something that Aubrey learned very quickly. 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:49.919 And made the adjustment. 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.639 They go out, Brandon Aubrey goes up out there and 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:58.320 he gets set in his place, and the linemen aren't 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.280 even ready to go. Brian Angers not even down, So 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:05.119 Brandon Aubrey for like twelve seconds is in his spot 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:08.760 kind of waiting for everyone else to get set. Well, 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.360 that kind of waiting and just kind of the timing 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:14.760 and everything it was all off. So Aubrey needs to 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.240 pace himself in terms of going out there and going 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:21.280 through his process and getting set and everything and making 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:25.880 it synchronized with his teammates. So a sudden change score 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.560 Aubrey getting out there a little early, rushing it, and 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.600 just kind of the timing being off with everything else. 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:36.000 So I know that that sounds like a lot of minutia, 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:41.720 but in the NFL, where games are in tenths of seconds, 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.040 it can be very important. And then the other thing 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:49.760 that coach was talking about was the blocked field goal itself, 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:53.040 And remember how one we talked about it yesterday, Yanye Thomas, 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:56.560 the terrific play that he made going in and blocking 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:00.640 the field goal, and Bones was talking about how at 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.040 the walk through Sunday morning, you know that since it 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.840 was a night game eight twenty Eastern kickoff. When it's 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.800 a night game, the team will do its final walkthroughs 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.760 on offense, defense, and special teams at the team hotel 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:14.760 on Sunday morning or Monday morning if it's a Monday 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:18.400 night game. But they're going through just a few things, 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:25.399 so for kickblock, field goal units, and CJ. Goodwin had 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.240 pulled one ye aside and said, okay, on this, here's 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.879 a specific scenario and if you get this, then you 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.560 do this through this gap, all that kind of stuff, 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:38.120 and by golly, that's what happened on the I'm sorry, 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.800 I said, field goal block, yeah, yeah, field go block yep. 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:47.879 And so CJ his what he said to one ye 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:52.160 Thomas that morning is exactly what happened. And then one 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.439 year made the play and Noah took it in for 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:55.879 the score. 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.600 Noah Igbinoghny, every good job. 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:00.919 Yeah, I blew it last night on Cowboy. 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:03.000 We're still getting used to it. 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:04.520 Repetition it does. 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:05.880 I had to said that you should have a voice 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:07.080 note of how to say it. 0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:07.840 Just saved it. 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:09.879 Yeah, she saved my voice note. She said, can you 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:11.200 send me a voice out of how to say it? 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:13.200 So I said, no, what monogamy? And then I sounded 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:14.760 it at her and now we're good. 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.240 Something else I wanted to make sure to mention about 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.560 that is CJ. Goodwin was the special team's captain. He 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:24.159 was elevated from the practice squad special teams captain for 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:24.880 week one. 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:28.240 I should talk all things CJ. 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:30.919 Goodwin and what a good win this man is for 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:32.800 the Cowboys special teams please. 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.200 I mean, honestly, I'm sure Christy would know more than 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:35.960 me in that department. 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:37.880 I'm just not learning about. 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:41.399 All of the specifics of being a special teams player 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:45.240 and to be be I mean, Goodwin has made his 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:47.879 career being a special teams player. That's just speak to 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:51.560 you on how good he is at, you know, being 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.040 the general on that side of the ball. 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:54.679 Bones is. 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.400 I think I would, I would. I would consider him 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:01.520 Bones's voice on the field, and I think every coordinator 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:03.919 has a guy like that. He's that guy for this 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:07.200 team and that's why they keep that cornerback slot for him. 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:10.240 That's why when we talk about roster cuts, you're just like, well, 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:12.720 he's gonna be on the team because it's not just 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.280 because of the athleticism and what he does, because he's still. 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:16.679 He'll tell you he's lost a little bit. He'll tell 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:17.640 you he's a little slower. 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:19.399 Than what he used to be because he has gotten older. 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:23.360 But just also to just getting guys in the position. 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:25.480 Like he said, he's played a lot of football. He's 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:27.520 seen a lot of fronts, he's seen a lot of kickers, 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:29.640 He's seen a lot of stuff. So where we talk 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.720 about this team, how there's a veteran or multiple veterans 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:36.840 at every position on both sides of the ball, then CJ. 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:40.400 Goodwin is that for the special teams players. 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:43.679 Bones had mentioned in that press conference of CJ. Goodwin 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.119 never aging, he said, as it gets older, he just 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:49.200 does not age. He just and you know, I think 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:52.320 that comes with mentality because physically we all age, we 0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:56.040 all get older, and as a football player, your job 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:59.640 is to be very physical on your body. So obviously 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:01.480 that's good to take its toll, and it's time and 0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:04.360 as you get older and you're in the league long enough, 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:05.919 that's going to take its phase on you. 0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:09.080 However, I really like CJ. 0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:12.080 Goodwin's mentality and he's somebody that I would like to 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:14.240 get to talk to a little bit more as the 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:14.960 season goes on. 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:17.160 But Christy, as far as what CJ. 0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:22.000 Goodwin can bring to this special team's unit weeke in 0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:24.560 week out and just special teams in general. 0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:25.679 We know how important it is. 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:28.439 How much of an impact does he have for this 0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.439 unit as a whole, being that general, that leader for 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:32.600 everybody to follow. 0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:35.760 Suit with special teams. Kicking game, it's measured not in 0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:40.200 tenths of seconds, but hundreds of seconds. So the difference 0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:43.920 in getting a field goal off and one point two 0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:46.680 eight seconds that would be from the time the long 0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:50.199 snapper begins the snap, it goes to the holder, the 0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:53.280 holder puts the ball down, places it, and the kicker's 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:56.920 foot strikes it. One point two eight to one point 0:23:56.960 --> 0:24:01.160 three to zero seconds is the difference between successful kick 0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:06.439 and it being blocked. So yeah, you have to be 0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:12.280 exactly right, no missteps, no mistiming. Everything has to be perfect. 0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:15.200 And when you talk about the mentality to detail, and 0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:17.800 it takes for that. Do we have time? I think 0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:20.679 I told this story last year, but the muck raking 0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:22.280 story for CJ. 0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:23.119 Goodwin, shall I? 0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:27.200 Because I know I know that we have new viewers 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:30.679 and listeners. Tell me to the Girls Talk, Boys Talk podcasts. 0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:33.240 So for those of you who heard this early last year, 0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:35.800 it's worth you and again because it's such a great story. 0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:41.400 CJ is from West Virginia but near the Pittsburgh Market. 0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:44.440 One of the great steelers of all time, Mel Blunt, 0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:46.960 part of the Steel Curtain and the great defensive backs 0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:50.560 in NFL history, has a farm in West Virginia and 0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:53.560 it's one of these working farms and UH would host 0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:58.240 like youth camps and trouble you things like that. Well, 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:05.639 see J see played basketball with mel Blunt's son, and 0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:09.359 CJ had relatives that worked on mel Blunt's farm. So 0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:13.959 when CJ is a teenager, he takes a job working 0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:22.359 on mel Blunt's farm, literally mucking, mucking stalls, shoveling, bleep. Okay, 0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:26.399 that's what he does. He's playing basketball. He has no 0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:29.879 intentions of being an NFL player. He wants to play basketball. 0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:36.320 He ends up getting scholarship to small college. He's playing basketball. 0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:40.119 But mel Blunt has followed his career and been like 0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:42.320 a mentor to him, and by the time CJ even 0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:45.400 finishes high school, Mel's given him a promotion to where 0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:49.359 he's working like as a counselor. When the younger kids 0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:53.639 come to the farm for those kind of camps and retreats. 0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:56.960 So at one point, after a couple of years of 0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:02.719 playing college basketball, Mel encourages Cig to play football, and 0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:04.760 he does. He plays a couple of years as wide 0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:09.280 receiver for a couple more small colleges, and Mel, for 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:13.359 the first time ever as a great Steelers legend, calls 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:17.040 the Pittsburgh Steelers and asks for a favor. Ask the 0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:20.439 Steelers to give this young kid named CJ, a wide receiver, 0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:25.639 a tryout one of these offseason tryouts, and he's Mel Blunt. 0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:30.640 So the Steelers do CJ. Of course, he doesn't get drafted, 0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:33.760 but he does get a tryout and he makes it 0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:38.320 on the practice squad, and then he goes to Atlanta 0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:43.640 and now he's been in the NFL four man Yeah, 0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:47.280 so eight years. But yeah, he was an undrafted rookie 0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:50.199 free agent and on the practice squad for Pittsburgh in 0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:54.919 twenty fourteen. Gets signed to the Falcons practice squad in 0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:59.880 twenty fifteen, ends up playing fourteen games the following year. 0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:03.880 Then he goes to Arizona, plays twelve games, and then 0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:07.160 he doesn't. Then he's kind of wallowing around the league 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:10.040 a little bit. Cincinnati practice squad, the Cowboys sign him 0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:14.400 off the Cincinnati practice squad in October of twenty eighteen, 0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:16.960 and he's been one of the mainstays, not just a 0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:19.240 special team so one of the good guys, one of 0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:21.840 the glue guys, one of the leaders on the team 0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:27.040 since then. So because he muck stalls, Mel Blunt knew 0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:29.800 the character of this kid and knew what a hard 0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:33.600 worker he was, gave him a chance several years later 0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:36.120 a phone call to the Steelers for a tryout. They 0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:39.159 see his athleticism. It's when he went to Atlanta that 0:27:39.200 --> 0:27:42.440 they converted him to a defensive back. But obviously his 0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:45.560 destiny was to be a special teams Maven and he. 0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:47.679 Is absolutely love Christy. 0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:51.000 Your stories so good, so impactful, and just shows a 0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:52.879 lot about who's CJ. 0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:54.080 Goodwin. Really well. 0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:56.960 You know, people think that these NFL players that they've 0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:59.480 been coddled their whole lives and they've been the stars 0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:02.720 of their foot to case since they were six years old. Oh, 0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:05.040 there's there's so many different stories. 0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:05.480 Yeah. 0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:08.320 Absolutely, Well, we're going to take our next break.

All right, ladies, let's continue this talk. 0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:26.440 We didn't really get into much offense, so I wanted 0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:31.600 to make mention of that because what you saw is 0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:34.360 obviously a very dominant defense. We know that we talked 0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:36.720 about that. That's really what the talk of the game 0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:39.160 was but I wanted to make no of the offense. 0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:40.160 I wanted to really. 0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:42.840 Dive deep into that this last segment as well. Take 0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:45.480 a quick look at the Cowboys schedule. Keep in mind, 0:30:45.520 --> 0:30:49.360 the Cowboys will play your Jets this Sunday, Week two 0:30:49.640 --> 0:30:52.800 at home. Then they're away in Arizona the following Sunday. 0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:55.400 The following Sunday after that, they're back home. 0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:56.280 For the Patriots. 0:30:56.320 --> 0:30:59.520 So that's just a little glimpse ahead. Let's talk about 0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:02.360 the Cowboys offense. So a good starting point for them, 0:31:02.360 --> 0:31:04.160 I'll call it. Are you sure when you went back 0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:06.920 and you watched them at the tape, what are some 0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:11.400 of the things that you really noticed from this Cowboys 0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:14.840 offense as being effective, not just for the offense as 0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:16.920 a whole, but Dak Prescott specifically. 0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:19.800 Well, I mean, when you go back and look at it, 0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:22.440 I understood why it was difficult for them to get 0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:24.600 into a rhythm because they weren't on the field that 0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:27.760 much and then they were on and off, and obviously. 0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:28.640 The rain and things like that. 0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:33.040 But I really was looking at I really was looking 0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:35.480 at how he delivered the ball, some of the play schemes, 0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:39.360 any pressure that came really came from the interior with 0:31:39.480 --> 0:31:43.400 the Doga and be Odish being on the other side 0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:46.040 of things like they had their hands full there. But 0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:50.600 the drive after the half is probably the best drive 0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:51.240 to refer to. 0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:54.160 Which was which was? 0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:56.400 I think it was the slant to gallop, the really 0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:59.840 quick slant to gallop, and then Dak threaded the needle 0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:02.720 to ceedee lamb and. 0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:05.200 Beyotdish was actually almost in his lap with that throw. 0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:07.520 That was interesting. And then you. 0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:10.720 Had the twenty five yard run with Tony Pollard where 0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:15.200 the tight ends we mentioned it yesterday they blocked their 0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:19.960 tails off, so you had eighty six schoonmaker Henny and 0:32:20.200 --> 0:32:24.560 a ferg with Terrence Steele lead blocking and ceiling off 0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:27.440 so Tony Poller could get that could get that twenty 0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:31.640 five yard run. And then Rico Daddo came through right 0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:34.360 behind Big seventy. As we've seen before show some of 0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:38.440 his power had the drop td by Henny at that point. 0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:40.360 But you could see again, like I said, you could 0:32:40.400 --> 0:32:42.680 see the rhythm, some of the schemes, some of the 0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:45.680 tempo that they wanted to change within the game. Then 0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:49.160 you had the TP screen, the really nice screen that 0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:53.120 was real pretty and he fumbled the ball, but I 0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:56.760 believe that Shady mentioned that the fact that Tyler Biottish 0:32:56.880 --> 0:32:59.600 was where he was supposed to be was really the 0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:02.280 reason he was able to recover that that fumble, which 0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:04.840 was important. And then you had Lipkey, you know, shades 0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:08.120 of the had lifty lead blocking for the TP touchdown. 0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:11.080 So I really that was the drive that I really 0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:11.560 wanted to. 0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:13.600 Refer to, because I felt like you could look at 0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:15.600 the rest of the game and see little pieces of 0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:16.560 things that you liked. 0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:19.080 The rub routes, the double rub routs. 0:33:19.120 --> 0:33:23.400 Man, listen, you you saw some of the intent to 0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:27.200 create separation, and we talked about that so much last year. 0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:28.800 It was the lack of separation. 0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:32.040 You could see schematically that there are things that Mike 0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:35.360 McCarthy put in place to create separation, get some easy 0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:38.240 throws for these wide receivers, and those were some of 0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:40.400 those are just some of the few things I noticed 0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:43.200 in this in this game to start, not a lot 0:33:43.240 --> 0:33:45.240 to go off of, but just enough to kind of 0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:46.920 get a vision for what the offense could be. 0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:50.440 Yeah, be Hoddish recovering that Pollard fumble and it was 0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:53.240 so crucial, And then there was a play earlier in 0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:55.360 the game where it looked like the Giants had that 0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:59.440 possible interception there in the end zone that Uh throw 0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:03.040 to the Tide end, but the cornerback came off of 0:34:03.080 --> 0:34:05.920 Cooks and nearly intercepted the ball. But I think the 0:34:05.960 --> 0:34:10.200 main thing about the offense is because the otdish got 0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:13.600 on the ball because the Giant defender didn't make the interception, 0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:16.320 they were not self inflicted wounds. And that was the 0:34:16.400 --> 0:34:21.200 number one thing. What is statistically the number one determining 0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:25.880 factor in NFL games who wins the turnover battle. And 0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:30.319 the Cowboys obviously dominated that on Sunday, and I thought 0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:33.000 that the offense was just efficient enough. 0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:34.719 They didn't they didn't. 0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:38.920 You know, turn the ball over, and there were not 0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:41.440 a lot of penalties in the game, so it was 0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:46.080 overall a clean, efficient game. But I love what you said. 0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:50.239 You mentioned lip Key, and we talked yesterday about how 0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:52.960 they were using turpin and lined up in the backfield 0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:56.600 and so we didn't McCarthy didn't play all of his hand. 0:34:56.680 --> 0:34:59.600 He didn't have to at forty to nothing. But it 0:34:59.640 --> 0:35:02.600 was to see the way that they deployed the personnel. 0:35:02.719 --> 0:35:06.680 Yeah, one more thing, the offensive line, Sorry, no, go ahead. Yeah, 0:35:06.680 --> 0:35:09.600 but the offensive line is what I was also paying 0:35:09.600 --> 0:35:13.080 attention to. Somehow they were pinning and pulling ceiling off. 0:35:13.600 --> 0:35:17.239 There's a and I believe that Tyron Smith talked about 0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:18.799 it on one of five point three the Fan when 0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:20.040 they interviewed him at training camp. 0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:21.960 He said, we're taking it to guys. Now. 0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:25.240 There's an aggression that you see from this offensive line 0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:29.560 that is far less reactive and more proactive about being 0:35:29.600 --> 0:35:32.040 the aggressors in the play. And I think that's gonna 0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:35.960 pay dividends moving forward, especially when you start playing teams 0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:38.279 like the Jets and stuff like that. I do think 0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:41.680 this was a good test interior wise for this defense. 0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:43.719 Who is gonna be this offensive line? 0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:46.400 Rather that's going to be challenged next week with the 0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:49.200 Jets coming in, because yeah, they pose a lot of 0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:54.120 issues with their front four getting home without having to bring. 0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:55.879 An extra blitzer or anything like that too. 0:35:55.920 --> 0:35:59.600 So tiring out Lead and Turpin on that, Oh man, 0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:01.120 that was beautiful. 0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:02.960 Funn to see moving in space. 0:36:02.760 --> 0:36:05.520 Outside zone run And how'd you like to be the 0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:07.640 dB with big Tyrant coming right at you? 0:36:08.520 --> 0:36:10.800 He looks so big compared to everyone else out there. 0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:15.520 Real quick, something I wanted to mention was Mike McCarthy 0:36:15.600 --> 0:36:18.920 talked about penalties in this game in his press conference. 0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:21.040 He said, to him, there's three kinds of penalties. There's 0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:23.840 a pre snap, the post snap, and competitive penalties. 0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:25.759 And with competitive penalties. 0:36:25.440 --> 0:36:27.040 What he means is that there's a bit of a 0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:29.920 gray area, and that gray area means, look, you were 0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:32.000 fighting for something, it didn't work out in your favor. 0:36:32.680 --> 0:36:33.560 It is what it is. 0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:36.960 But then there's also, you know, just inexcusable penalties, which 0:36:36.960 --> 0:36:39.399 to him are the pre snap penalties that get them 0:36:39.400 --> 0:36:39.920 in trouble. 0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:41.560 He specifically mentioned. 0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:45.640 Jaron Curse's unnecessary roughness penalty that costs let's say it 0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.680 was fifteen yards enforced at the New York thirty eight, 0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:51.719 which that play was a little weird. Went back to 0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:53.959 watch that that was a little weird, a little weird 0:36:54.000 --> 0:36:57.680 penalty there. He talked about that being an example of 0:36:57.719 --> 0:37:01.480 players excelling in the gray areasing to really learn from 0:37:01.760 --> 0:37:04.560 not necessarily something to penalize. 0:37:04.640 --> 0:37:06.640 No pun intended JK. 0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:09.000 For with that as well, So I wanted to make 0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:10.640 sure to mention that I think it was Christy it 0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:11.600 said it was a clean game. 0:37:11.920 --> 0:37:14.080 So I just wanted to throw that out there as well. 0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:14.640 It was good. 0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:17.960 That's I mean immediately when I saw JK do that, 0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:19.440 And if you know anything about JK. 0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:21.160 Now, granted, Daniel. 0:37:20.960 --> 0:37:24.320 Jones does not slide often, and I think that played 0:37:24.320 --> 0:37:26.560 a role too. And how late he how late it 0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:28.480 was because on tape if you watch him, he's not 0:37:28.520 --> 0:37:30.920 sliding that much, so I think may have surprised him 0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:31.320 to slide. 0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:34.200 But it's it's kind of a tone setting thing too. 0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:36.960 That's I'm gonna be here all night, homie, We're gonna 0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:37.719 be here all night. 0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:39.640 That that that's what that was about. 0:37:39.680 --> 0:37:41.719 So I get with mich McCarthy. I'm glad that he 0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:43.239 clarified that too, because for a. 0:37:43.160 --> 0:37:44.799 Lot of people, they were like, what is he doing? 0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:46.680 It was such a boneheaplate, No baby, he's trying to 0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:49.200 let him know, keep doing that if you want to, 0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:50.719 it's gonna be a long night for you. 0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:51.480 And it was. 0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:52.000 Yeah. 0:37:52.080 --> 0:37:54.120 I think I think he's very focused on those pre 0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:57.000 snap penalties of course, being you know, more of an 0:37:57.040 --> 0:38:00.319 issue there as well. Something I wanted to mention about 0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:03.640 playing with this aggressive play style is you mentioned Tyler 0:38:03.680 --> 0:38:05.680 Beyotdish and he's somebody that I talked to you in 0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:08.000 the locker room. When I have any kind of offensive 0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:10.560 line question, I just go straight to Tyler. I'm like, hey, 0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:12.440 I need your help with this. 0:38:12.680 --> 0:38:15.719 This what am I seeing? Can you dissect it for me? 0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:18.680 And he has such a brilliant football mind, the way 0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:21.200 he works and the way he operates, and so talking 0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:23.520 to him has just giving me a deeper appreciation for 0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:26.560 that center position just in general and how much he does. 0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:29.600 But I was asking him because it was a topic 0:38:29.640 --> 0:38:33.440 of conversation of Oh, my goodness, is Tyler Beotdish so 0:38:33.560 --> 0:38:35.520 chippy all of a sudden? Where did this come from? 0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:38.640 This is so new and it's not new. His chippy 0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:40.480 play style is not new. So I wanted to talk 0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:42.520 to him about it and kind of just see where 0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:45.000 his mindset was. And I loved his answer when we 0:38:45.360 --> 0:38:48.760 had this conversation. He said, you know, that conversation obviously 0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:51.000 came from what happened in training camp with the scuffles, 0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:51.840 and it kind. 0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:52.520 Of carried forward. 0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:55.720 He said, there's a difference between being chippy in practice 0:38:55.719 --> 0:38:58.840 and being part of an NFL practice competition, and then 0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:03.319 being smart and taking that competition into a game. He said, obviously, 0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:04.880 there's some stuff you're going to do in practice that 0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:06.719 you're not going to do in a game time scenario 0:39:06.920 --> 0:39:09.360 because that wouldn't be playing smart football. He said, So 0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:11.400 you have to be aggressive, you have to be chippy, 0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:14.040 you have to have your teammates' backs, but most importantly, 0:39:14.080 --> 0:39:16.400 you have to be smart about when you're doing that, 0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:18.160 and you have to be disciplined. That comes with the 0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:21.200 discipline aspect of his game. So I just loved that 0:39:21.239 --> 0:39:25.360 he mentioned that because Tyler Briottish to me, he's like 0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:27.799 a bear, right, Like you go talk to him in 0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:30.920 the locker room, he's very nice, he's very polite, a 0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:33.840 little soft spoken, and then you see him on the 0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:37.200 field and he is like a grizzly bear, right. So 0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:42.240 I absolutely I commend Tyler. Well, I just I support 0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:45.439 how Tyler Piottish operates with his game so so much, 0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:48.399 such an important player, and I'm glad he got more 0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:49.719 attention season. 0:39:49.840 --> 0:39:53.480 Usually the offensive lineman, the biggest guys, but the softest 0:39:53.480 --> 0:39:56.760 hearts sometimes, Oh yeah, sweetest. And you know Terrence Steele, 0:39:56.920 --> 0:39:59.439 very soft spoken and he tells them. 0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:01.359 He tells the that line going back and looking at 0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:04.080 film on him, Oh he's the one yeah. 0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:04.439 He's the one. 0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:07.879 He's the one that if Tyler wants advice on how 0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:10.840 to be chippy and not get caught up in game. 0:40:11.080 --> 0:40:12.759 Man, Terrence is the best at it. 0:40:12.840 --> 0:40:17.160 Because even when I think Tpad is first TD, they 0:40:17.200 --> 0:40:20.080 were kind of holding on him too long, and Terrence 0:40:20.160 --> 0:40:24.160 was like he ran up, like all right, man, let it, 0:40:24.320 --> 0:40:27.520 let him go. Like he's very he's very vocal, and 0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:29.040 he he'll get in there. 0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:30.160 You'll see him on the film. 0:40:30.200 --> 0:40:32.040 There's the art to it. You know who the best 0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:36.720 trash talker on the Cowboys was, let's say, through the 0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:40.160 previous decade, the twenty tens. Well, actually he played so 0:40:40.280 --> 0:40:44.719 long the aughts as well, Jason witten By far but 0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:47.920 you never saw it and you never heard it. He 0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:50.280 would like make a play or something. He'd be walking 0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:53.000 past one of the defenders and not under his breath 0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:55.279 because it was loud enough for the defender to hear it. 0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:57.560 But he oh my gosh. Yeah. 0:40:57.600 --> 0:40:59.200 You ask any of the guys in the locker room 0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:02.040 who's one of the best trash talkers, and oh, dazz 0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:04.879 or this is, They're like, Witting's the one that'll get 0:41:04.920 --> 0:41:07.960 the burns in. It's just that he's very subtle about. 0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:11.520 It, absolutely real quick. For times sake, I want to 0:41:11.520 --> 0:41:13.560 go around. We're going to get into all of the 0:41:13.640 --> 0:41:17.600 Jets matchups and everything like that starting tomorrow and girls talk, 0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:19.680 boys talking. We'll do that for the rest of the week. 0:41:19.880 --> 0:41:22.400 I want to ask you, guys, after all of the 0:41:22.440 --> 0:41:26.800 scrutiny and just coverage that this team got in the 0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:30.040 off season for losing in the playoffs, obviously you know 0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:33.640 what the downfalls were. You know what areas of improvement 0:41:33.680 --> 0:41:36.920 were needed after this first game. What gives you the 0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:39.759 most hope of the area of improvement that they put 0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:41.800 work in the most during the off season? 0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:44.640 Defense picking up where it left off last year in 0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:47.719 terms of the takeaways and the great pass rush and 0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:50.920 the aggression and then seeing the young guys stepping in 0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:54.840 and making big contributions right away. And by that I 0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:57.719 mean like the Marquise Bells and the one ye thomass 0:41:57.760 --> 0:42:01.640 Man of the world. So I would say that because 0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:04.960 you know, the offense it was, it was fine, it 0:42:05.000 --> 0:42:07.880 was efficient, but you know the best is yet to 0:42:07.880 --> 0:42:10.239 come with that. But the defense picking off up where 0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:10.839 it left off. 0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:13.560 Yeah, I mean you mentioned and I know I heard. 0:42:13.640 --> 0:42:15.520 I think Mike McCarthy mentioned a couple of weeks ago, 0:42:15.640 --> 0:42:17.680 like they're aware that teams are going to If I'm 0:42:17.719 --> 0:42:20.719 a team and I watched what the Cowboys just did 0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:23.279 from a past rushing standpoint, we are going to try 0:42:23.280 --> 0:42:24.840 to run the ball the best that we can. I 0:42:24.840 --> 0:42:27.719 don't care, and I think you can expect teams to 0:42:27.760 --> 0:42:29.760 do that moving forward. 0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:32.040 But when you look at. 0:42:31.480 --> 0:42:35.719 This revamped linebacker corps, let me tell you, what dan 0:42:35.800 --> 0:42:39.000 Quinn is doing is so inventive, It is so beautiful. 0:42:39.040 --> 0:42:39.759 I think it's going. 0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:43.440 To change how people look at the linebacker position, be 0:42:43.560 --> 0:42:45.440 with the use of the safeties. I don't know if 0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:47.040 I've ever seen anything like this. I don't know if 0:42:47.080 --> 0:42:50.840 you've seen anything like this. Christy Marquise Bell coming in 0:42:51.719 --> 0:42:54.000 going back to watch the film on him and Wan 0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:57.520 Ye also was really I was so excited, Like I 0:42:57.520 --> 0:42:59.359 I was calling people before I got here. 0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:01.319 I was like, y'all, well, did y'all see this bro? 0:43:02.120 --> 0:43:05.160 Just the lateral quickness, how well he tackles, how physical 0:43:05.200 --> 0:43:08.040 he is in the box, and he's okay with doing that, 0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:10.920 with making tackles. The Cowboys run defense is the thing 0:43:10.960 --> 0:43:13.640 that people really were nervous about. And when I look 0:43:13.680 --> 0:43:16.239 at some of the things that they're doing with the 0:43:16.239 --> 0:43:19.680 different fronts, but also the usage usage of the safeties 0:43:19.719 --> 0:43:22.919 to come in there slash and be able to They're 0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:26.080 physical enough to make the tackles and to be punishing, 0:43:26.440 --> 0:43:29.600 but they're also fast enough to wear offensive line you 0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:32.000 can't get their hands on. Oh yeah, the speed, The 0:43:32.080 --> 0:43:33.800 speed is the lateral quickness. 0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:34.760 Everything was great. 0:43:34.800 --> 0:43:37.640 So to me, that's what I have to look forward 0:43:37.680 --> 0:43:40.680 to is that I understand that on that first drive 0:43:40.760 --> 0:43:42.640 you kind of seen you saw some leakage, you saw 0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:45.839 some stuff. But as soon as dan Quinn figured out 0:43:45.960 --> 0:43:48.799 this lineup's not working, it was fixed. He put those 0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:51.480 guys in there and they started really clamping down in 0:43:51.520 --> 0:43:53.400 the run, sidelined the sideline, all of that. 0:43:54.040 --> 0:43:56.280 And just to follow up on that point, Layton vander 0:43:56.400 --> 0:43:59.520 esh and the Cowboy Hour last night was talking about 0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:02.200 the unscripted the looks. 0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:03.880 Yea, and they were different. 0:44:03.560 --> 0:44:06.680 Than the un scouted looks. Yes, they were different, he said, 0:44:06.760 --> 0:44:09.400 because Mike McCarthy said, usually it's about thirty five percent 0:44:09.440 --> 0:44:11.600 unscouted looks, he said, he said, we were getting about 0:44:11.640 --> 0:44:12.400 seventy five percent. 0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:14.560 Say that it's a great point. 0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:17.279 Yes, and you could tell looking at the beginning of 0:44:17.320 --> 0:44:18.880 that game because I just watched. It's fresh on me 0:44:18.920 --> 0:44:21.279 because I just watched it before I got here, and 0:44:22.200 --> 0:44:25.120 you saw the over communicating. And that's one thing about 0:44:25.160 --> 0:44:27.320 the Cowboys. Most of the time, they're quick to the line. 0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:29.439 There's not a lot of over communicating, but you could 0:44:29.440 --> 0:44:31.640 tell that they were trying to sort through things. 0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:33.840 Also, dan Quinn went small. He went with a small 0:44:33.880 --> 0:44:36.560 lineup to start. If I'm not mistaken, it was. 0:44:38.080 --> 0:44:38.480 Started. 0:44:38.760 --> 0:44:41.200 Yeah, it was a it was a smaller lineup with 0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:43.960 I think Chauncey Golston was in there at some point 0:44:44.000 --> 0:44:47.359 in time. Uh. And then and again, like I think 0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:49.520 that they thought they were going to see things differently 0:44:49.560 --> 0:44:52.520 than what they saw. They adjusted and then you saw 0:44:52.560 --> 0:44:55.200 that run defense shore up like it was against the 0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:57.480 forty nine ers. I think they found good things to 0:44:57.480 --> 0:45:00.640 build upon to keep this this run defen Bay and 0:45:01.120 --> 0:45:03.120 that's important moving forward because I think that's how teams 0:45:03.120 --> 0:45:03.840 are going to attack you. 0:45:04.040 --> 0:45:07.040 I want to talk about more defense, but I want 0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:09.400 to talk about the secondary. 0:45:09.440 --> 0:45:10.640 Can we talk about how. 0:45:10.440 --> 0:45:14.080 Short up that secondary is with Stefan Gilmour, Because what 0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:16.840 I really liked about this when dan Quinn was asked 0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:19.920 about Trayvon Diggs, and you know, he's not necessarily the 0:45:19.960 --> 0:45:22.080 one being the ballhawk in the moment he said, he's 0:45:22.120 --> 0:45:25.440 a mindfulness of getting the football no matter where it is. 0:45:25.600 --> 0:45:28.240 So whether that's making the pass breakup, making a strong 0:45:28.320 --> 0:45:29.839 tackle that ends up. 0:45:29.719 --> 0:45:32.200 In a ball fumble, and then you know, the. 0:45:32.160 --> 0:45:34.960 Rest is history from there, he's a mindfulness to now 0:45:35.000 --> 0:45:36.800 be able to do that. And I think, to me, 0:45:36.880 --> 0:45:40.000 it's Trayvon Diggs just playing finally, kind of a sigh 0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:41.719 of relief that you have a guy on the other 0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:43.000 side that's there to help. 0:45:42.840 --> 0:45:45.640 You and balance you out, and now all you have 0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:46.720 to do is play football. 0:45:46.960 --> 0:45:49.320 You don't have to do anything other than just play football, 0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:51.960 find the ball and go for it. That seems simple enough, right, 0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:56.920 But also when you have two just solid guys on 0:45:57.040 --> 0:46:00.359 both sides of that secondary, it's so dangerous. And then 0:46:00.400 --> 0:46:03.800 you go back and you watch Sefan Gilmour. The way 0:46:03.960 --> 0:46:08.319 this man plays football is insane. His ability to just 0:46:09.000 --> 0:46:11.600 pretty much read a route before the receiver reads the 0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:14.600 route fair off the charts. I mean you can just 0:46:14.600 --> 0:46:17.359 see him eyeballing and he's shifting before the receiver even 0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:18.040 knows to shit. 0:46:17.960 --> 0:46:19.520 There were times he were looking and he was looking 0:46:19.520 --> 0:46:20.440 at the court. 0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:21.399 They'll tell you how. 0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:23.120 Much he cared about the quarterback throwing the ball. There 0:46:23.120 --> 0:46:25.600 were some times he was looking at the quarterback and 0:46:26.600 --> 0:46:28.919 he's just like, Okay, well I know what you're doing, 0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:29.439 my guy. 0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:32.319 You know so, but I don't. I think dan Quinn 0:46:32.400 --> 0:46:32.719 said it. 0:46:32.760 --> 0:46:34.239 I don't know who said it, but they were talking 0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:37.640 about how the pass rush is married to the secondary, 0:46:37.640 --> 0:46:40.560 the corners are married to the edges, and that's also 0:46:40.640 --> 0:46:42.799 too gonna help him run defense with those I think 0:46:42.880 --> 0:46:45.120 durn Blane you mentioned how much he moved around. 0:46:45.239 --> 0:46:46.040 I think you mentioned that. 0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:49.000 Yesterday he came up and tackled so well. Also too, 0:46:49.520 --> 0:46:53.480 that they made they made the Giants have to take 0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:56.640 short short yardist situation. They took away those DB's, took 0:46:56.680 --> 0:46:59.719 away any type of depassing that they had in mind. 0:46:59.760 --> 0:47:01.480 It was an impressive It was impressive. 0:47:01.520 --> 0:47:05.320 And then the most exciting thing about the secondary, Donovan 0:47:05.360 --> 0:47:08.400 Wilson and Jordan weren't available and they're going to be 0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:12.200 back soon, so don't know that it'll be this weekend, 0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:16.000 but that really good secondary was without two key guys. 0:47:16.239 --> 0:47:19.200 Good point, Christy, Well, that gives you a little glimpse 0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:22.160 of what we have to talk about.
