Thanksgiving Week 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.440 is upon us and the Thanksgiving Battle is less than 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:47.840 I guess what it would it be thirty hours away 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:51.000 at this point whenever we're recording this as the Cowboys 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.440 and the Washington football team are on the docket, and 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.000 it is a say it with your Chest Wednesday this 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:02.320 week because guess what, we don't have a Friday podcast, 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:03.840 so we've got to do it on Wednesday. But we're 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.680 gonna do the same thing we would normally do on 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.000 the Friday. We're gonna say it with our chest, much 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.560 like we do every single week here on Talking Cowboys. 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.399 Kyle Yeoman's here with you, Isaiah stand Back, the great 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.920 Rob Phillips and Heck Harrison also along for the ride, 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.680 and guys, I'm starting to kind of get a little 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.920 bit excited about this matchup and we are definitely going 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.000 to break it down, but first we did want to 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.240 pass along our thoughts and our prayers as always for 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.679 the situation that is at hand with the Dallas Cowboys 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.080 and strengthen conditioning coach Marcus Paul, and the fact that 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:41.200 we are praying for him. We want his safety and 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.360 we want his family to know that we are praying 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.600 for him as well. And guys, it's a tough situation overall, 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.640 but there is a football game at hand this week, 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.120 and I wanted to pass that along initially and know 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:57.280 our thoughts and prayers are with him. Isaiah. Yeah, absolutely, man, 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.400 we definitely want to hold him up in prayer. I'm 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.920 not sure all days since of the situation, but I 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:04.760 hate never want him to know him and a family 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.360 to know that that he got a whole whole crew 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:12.559 writing with him. So here it is. Rob. Yeah, absolutely 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.160 totally agree. Um. You know, the Cowboys were going to 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.399 get back to practice today. They did not practice yesterday 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:24.040 after UM coach Paul had that medical emergency and UM, 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.400 so you know that was that was scheduled to be 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.800 their their main work of the week yesterday. They're going 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.919 to have that today and I'm sure Coach Paul is 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.160 going to be on their mind. Uh and and he's 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.519 on our mind too. Best thoughts and prayers to to 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.720 coach and his family. Yeah, it was. It was devastating 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:44.560 news yesterday to learn what had happened at the Star. 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.480 Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. This 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.160 is a trying time, especially, you know, obviously during this 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.440 season for him and his family. I can only imagine 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:57.519 what they're going through. But we had definitely as a 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.919 Cowboys family praying for him and his family. Just wanted 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.880 to throw all that out there for sure, go for it, Rob, Yeah, 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.400 and Kyle, just based off of what the Cowboys announced yesterday, 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.239 that's that's what we know that he was. He's in 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.160 the process of undergoing further tests, and the Cowboys will 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.639 keep us up to date on any any updates on 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.959 how he's doing, and hopefully that is those are good 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.720 updates coming along the way for Coach Paul. But yeah, 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.320 I wanted to make sure our thoughts and prayers are 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.600 with him and with his family during a trying time. 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.440 But Rob, like you said, the Cowboys taking practice off yesterday, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.720 do you expect practice today to be either longer or 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:38.840 more intense, just based off of the fact that it 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.560 is a short week that you have to deal with. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.720 It's not like you could push it back a couple 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.360 of days. You've got the game coming up tomorrow. This 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:50.440 is ultimately a lose situation from a players standpoint, just 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:51.880 in the fact that they don't have a whole lot 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.560 of time to get on the field. Yeah, I'm not. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.200 I'm not sure exactly. I don't know that we're going 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.119 to have any media access again today. We didn't yesterday, 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.560 and so you know, they've got to get some work 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.960 in in terms of some situational work that you would 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.760 get in terms of preparation for an opponent. But at 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.840 the same time, to your point, you got to get 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.920 off your feet because the game's coming up on you 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.240 in close to twenty four hours here. So I don't 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.440 expect it to be a physical practice. It's probably going 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.800 to be m you know, a lot. I wouldn't I 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.160 don't know if I would call it a walkthrough, but 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.160 they're gonna have to a lot of it's just in 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.680 terms of mental and and and getting some of the 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.120 game plan down on the field. That's probably more than anything. 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.040 But it's Isaiah knows this having gone through it. It's 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.760 just about trying to get your body right on four 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.480 days rest to get ready to play this game, because 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:45.560 it's not easy on seven days rest. What is that like, Isaiah? Yeah, 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.760 I would expect this. I would expect this to be 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.960 kind of what we used to call fast Friday. Obviously 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.840 fast Fridays being the last real practice before before a 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.600 Saturday game. Then obviously we're a day before the Thursday game. 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.040 But fast Friday is there's no pads and you're you're 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.880 running your routes about three quarter speed, You're doing all 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.119 your drills about three quarter speed, but you're still getting 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.480 those mental reps. The positive side of this, obviously without 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.440 having yesterday's practice. Um, the positive side is that you 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.960 face this team already, so you're familiar. You'll be a 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.320 totally different situation if this is your first time facing 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.320 the team, but you know, you face these guys not 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.000 too long ago. You're familiar with the personnel, You're familiar 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.760 with what they do on office, defensive, special teams, so 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.400 you have some kind of concept in terms of you 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.960 know and being and being prepared for what they're going 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:33.799 to bring to you. It's just a matter of breashing 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.440 up on some film study and then making sure that 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.080 your calls and communication are on point. Um. These guys 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.960 professionals at this point, they're leaning on their offseason conditioning 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.760 to make sure that they're prepared for this game. Yeah, 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.159 the preparation, the preparation for this game is obviously they've 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.040 they've had this in for a while, knowing that this 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.200 was going to be a short week. And you want 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.400 to rely on the fact that these guys are professionals 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.479 and they can acclimate and pick up pick these things 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.480 up easily, just with the bye week and everything and 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.120 coming off victory, just hoping that that continuity sticks and 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.880 these guys can continue to build off of the communication 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.360 that they've had and if things are getting a lot better, 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.480 especially on the defensive side. So I wouldn't think that 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.520 when you say intense, I definitely don't see them doing 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.960 any hitting or anything like that. But the mental prep 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.680 for it is very important today and so that they 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.000 will be obviously ready to morrow now, Isaiah, whatever it 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.560 comes to a week to week sort of preparation. Of course, 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.320 there's a ton that goes into each game plan. But 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.159 if it were a kind of a cram study sort 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.560 of deal wherever you're trying to get as much information 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.159 and as much raps as possible kind of pushed into 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.560 such a short amount of time. How of that is 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.080 going to get lost? How much is they're differing from 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.080 maybe the game plan that we saw against Minnesota and 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.599 the game plan that we're going to see this week 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:57.440 against Washington. I mean, nothing drastically different, right, I Mean, 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.680 that's why I'm saying pretty much the guys that are 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.280 out there on the field this week, or same guys 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.160 plus a couple of changes. You know, the team that 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.240 you play when you played Washington last time earlier in 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.640 the season. So there's not a huge difference there. And 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:14.480 that's where having played these guys recently plays a year benefit. 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:16.800 But I mean there's not It's not a big cramp 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.600 session that the players that you that the coach hasn't 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.720 still that's the plays that you guys have in your playbook. 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:23.600 They're not going to make any huge changes. There might 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.720 be some more emotions, there might be some personnel changes 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.840 in terms of things that in terms of alignment and 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.000 things of that nature to create some mismatches, but nothing drafting, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.000 it's just a matter of just going into your playbook 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:35.960 making some tweaks so that it looks a little bit different, 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.000 But by the end of the first quarter, everybody's settling 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.880 into what you do every single week anyways. And on 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.680 top of just having played Washington a month ago, you know, 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.960 they also are a division opponent, so from a personnel standpoint, 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.560 you've already got familiarity with a lot of their players 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:55.160 year to year. If you're a Cowboys player that's been 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.400 on this team for a couple of years, so you know, 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.760 I think that compared to maybe last year where you're 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.880 playing and a Buffalo team that you see once every 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.360 four years, I think it's not as much of a factor. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:14.400 I wouldn't think in terms of preparation for this particular opponent. Heckma, Yeah, 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.320 my concentration has been on, you know, making sure that 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.440 these guys are healthy. I know that we're injured in 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.880 a lot of areas as far as the secondary Anthony 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.600 Brown to be one in particular, that we're definitely gonna 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.720 need coming into this matchup. So maybe the preparation or 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.480 that the day off, you know, get getting these guys 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.480 some extra treatment, things like that, But getting this team 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.439 healthy for a division foe that we know Thursday's this 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.959 is going to be a hard hitting contest. You talk 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.439 about hard hitting, heck Man. You you came at you 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.560 came at Washington yesterday with a little bit of fire. Yeah, 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.079 a little bit of fires, just kind of saying the 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.160 least I could tell a little bit. You don't like 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.240 the football team. You don't. I can tell. I can 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.679 feel it in your bones, especially after the twenty five 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.719 three loss. Do you want me to run through this 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.560 just to make you to just make your blood boil 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.480 a little bit? Some of the numbers from that loss. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.320 How about Gibson twenty carries one hundred and twenty eight 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.480 yards in a touchdown. Oh, that one, that one hits you, 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.400 That one hits you. There seven receptions for Terry McLaurin 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.160 a touchdown. You got Thomas with four receptions, sixty yards 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.160 in a touchdown. Kyle Allen shushed you on the sideline 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.079 and went one hundred and ninety four yards through the 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.439 air with a couple of touchdowns. You went three of 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.760 twelve on third down and had just twelve first downs 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.720 and one hundred and forty two yards total. You mentioned 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.439 it yesterday, Heckman, this is a revenge game on Thanksgiving 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.440 in I want to hear about the heck Ma Harrison 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.320 Revenge Tour and how that should be the Dallas Cowboys 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:52.319 revenge tour well. And also don't forget about Cole Hokum 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.800 and what he did to Ezekiel Elliot on the Blitz. 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.520 You know. So it was a lot of that going on. 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.560 And look, man, we have our conversations before the show, 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.320 and I'm sure Isaiah has been in a few fights 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.520 where he's lost, uh, and he's had to learn from 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.960 getting his butt kick. Uh. He's probably the only one 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:12.800 on the panel that's had that happened to him. But 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.599 he learned something from a from a butt whipping, you know. 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.360 And I think we got one and I have to 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.040 And that's one of one of those things where you 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.320 have to come back bigger, better and stronger, because when 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:28.160 they turned on the film from the Washington game, they've 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.719 got to say to themselves many they put it on us, right, 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:36.280 And you start at the Bostick hit on Um on 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:41.199 a quarterback, you know, Dalton on Andy Dalton, and you know, 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:42.880 I think there were a lot of excuses made for 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.240 the offensive line at the time for why they didn't 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.200 go after Bostick, and I'm sure that as a team 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.560 they sat around and they talked about that, like, look, 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.760 the next time, guys, I don't care if you're trying 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.959 to remember your plays or not. If a guy does 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.000 your guy like that, you go after him. I mean 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.720 any that's just the rule period, right, And so they did. 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.520 I mean the Washington football team, they came out and 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.000 they put it on us, and the Cowboys have got 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:07.880 to have that in the back of their minds because 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.559 that left the lasting sting and had everyone in the 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.200 media talking about this team being gutless, heartless. I mean, 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.400 we even had what Isaiah was talking about the fact 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.760 that these guys probably don't hang out with each other afterwards, 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.559 so they're not friends if they're allowing stuff like this 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.679 to happen. So look, I just want to see this 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.320 team come out and play hard, and I don't care 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.319 what the score is. Somebody's all. Everybody needs to have 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.839 an ice bath after this one because they're gonna be 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:37.920 sore from all the hard hidden Isaiah, yeah, I mean yeah, 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.320 I mean to heck of his point, I mean, yeah, 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.240 if you take an l you want to beat that team, 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.760 that's pretty simple. I don't care on what you are 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.640 if you're a competitor, if you consider yourself a competitor. 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.439 Number One, you hate to lose. Number two, you want 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.400 to have an opportunity to redeem yourself. And that's exactly 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.280 what this is. And it's gonna be on the big 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.679 one of the biggest showcases of the year in the 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.400 NFL our thanksgiven days. So what better, what better day, 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.199 what better opportunity to go out there and bust he's 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.880 casting their mouth and Isaiah, let me ask you this. Now. 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.319 It's it's it's one thing taking the l but it's 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.840 the way they took that in right. Yeah. I mean 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.679 that's got to be the thing that is lasting with 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.400 this team because they can't and you can tell, like 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.679 every game after that, they didn't allow for teams to 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.719 push them around anymore. And you saw that with the 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.520 Laden Vanderish and the Steelers game when they got tried 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.199 to push him and he's pushing them away. I could 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.439 tell that this team has gotten some fight in them. 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.360 After that Washington game, Yeah, I mean, they got disrespected. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.240 I mean, you know, I quit it to sit in 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.760 the chair, you know, at the DMV and somebody's coming 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.200 outside and smacking you upside the back of your head, right, 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.000 and you just and they just walk away like they 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.079 didn't do nothing. You know, they didn't fight back. You know, 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.040 they just so now they had they have an opportunity 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.040 to come and fight back, and we're gonna see what 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.280 they do with them hands. Do you get smacked in 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.120 the head at the DMV often? Is that something that's 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.480 a problem. No, No, I probably wouldn't be out here 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:58.360 because I probably have a record that just that can't 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:02.599 happen now, do you? Yeah? I mean I think I 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.959 think the Cowboys feel like they're in a better place, Kyle. 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.679 You know, in terms of guys. You guys mentioned it. 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.840 Two hundred and eight rushing yards allowed to Washington, who 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.960 had struggled to run the ball pre mightily for most 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.599 of the season to that point, and they've gotten some 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.880 of that tightened up, we think, And you know, Zeke 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.679 couldn't really run the ball in that game either. The 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:27.640 offensive line just I mean the most tenured guy they 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.400 had starting was Connor Williams. That's how young they were 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.160 in that game. You get Zack Martin back, you hope 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.000 they're not going to allow six sacks to Andy Dalton. 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.360 They allowed six to Dalton and Danucci when he came 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.760 in relief. So I just think they're in a better place. 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.600 And to you guys point, I think they're just more 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.679 confident team right now. But maybe Washington is too. You know, 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.079 they've got the same record, and Washington's coming off a 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:54.200 couple solid performances lately. Yeah, so which team can carry 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.160 over the momentum that's gonna be It's gonna be interesting. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.839 They averaged two and a half yards per play or 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.840 per game, I guess whenever it came to that game. 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:05.960 And I say one of the things that you always 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.839 say is a huge key to each football game is 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.040 what it's the battle of the time of possession. Well, 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.120 that time of possession was not in favor of them 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.599 that day. Thirty seven minutes to twenty three for the 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.320 Washington football team, and they controlled that game. They really did. 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.040 They had the they had that game in the bag 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.800 really pretty much early on. Whenever they had the even 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.720 the safety, it felt like whenever Dalton Schultz had to 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.720 recover the fumble in the end zone, it seemed like 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.680 from that point forward, things we're gonna go their way. 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.880 But it's a new week. It's a new chance and 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.440 the Cowboys have an opportunity to turn around and have 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.920 some revenge, like Heckma said on one of the bigger 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:46.320 showcases in the entire NFL on Thanksgiving Day. When we 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.560 come back here, I'm talking Cowboys. We're gonna preview the 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:54.680 Washington defense versus this Cowboys offense.

No, 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:06.680 I did not get the standings updated. I forgot to look. 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:13.760 I know, Kyle, Well, hey how about this. I can 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.119 pick I'll pick a topic, I'll throw it to you, 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:18.840 and I'll try and get it done as quickly as 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.080 I can on my phone. Whenever we start talking about 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.280 the preview of this Washington defense and the offense from 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.520 the Cowboys, because it's only one week, I gotta catch up. 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.200 I think I might be able to do it. Anyways, 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.320 with that being said, this is a defense that we 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.639 already went through the numbers from the last game, just 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.680 completely dominated the Cowboys and held them to the lowest 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.800 amount of points in an NFC East battle since two 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.840 thousand and two. It had been that long since the 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.840 Cowboys were held to three points in an NFC East battle. 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.480 But with that being said, like we talked about a 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.480 minute ago, and Rob you mentioned it first, so we'll 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.840 start with you here. This Cowboys team has a little 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:57.000 bit of swagger, has a little bit more confidence going 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.480 into this matchup. You think that can translate to the 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:05.320 offensive side of the football. Yeah, I think so. I mean, 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.359 you mentioned five first round picks on Washington that's not 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.320 changing on Thursday. They've still got a lot of talent 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.320 up there. But I think if there's one point that 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.200 maybe they've struggled at, they've still got pass rushers, but 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:22.120 they haven't been great against the run lately. Last couple 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.040 of games. I think they're giving up like five yards 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:26.320 a carrier close to it. And when you think about 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.119 what the Cowboys have been able to do. I mentioned 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:30.560 it the other day, one hundred and fifty plus yards 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:33.760 last three games average man. That would be right at 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:35.400 the top of the league right now, what they're able 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.320 to do. And it's been kind of that thunder and 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:41.280 lightning deal with Zeke and with Tony Pollard. And you know, 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.400 I can't stress how important it is to have Zack 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.600 Martin back in the lineup this time compared to when 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.280 he was out against Washington October twenty fifth with a concussion. 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.040 I think that makes all the difference in the world. 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:56.760 And you know, Connor McGovern got that start as well, 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.280 so you think he'll be more prepared for this matchup 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.080 than maybe he was first time around. But I look towards, 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:05.119 you know, trying to get that running game established. You know, 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.040 I think they've done a good job of that. Lately, 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:11.159 Washington has not been happy with some of their run defense. 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.119 They've kind of changed up their linebacker rotation because of it, 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.919 and so you know, maybe that's an area you can 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:23.159 try to exploit tomorrow. Now we're definitely, guys, we're trending 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.040 in the right direction for our running game. And you're right, 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:28.760 Zach Martin has made a big difference with that move 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.800 out to right tackle. And so last time we played them, 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:35.200 I mean, they pretty much bludgeoned us internally and rightfully so, 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.920 our covers were bad. We had nothing for our offensive line, 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.919 and they showed up and as far as the Washington 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.920
