News of the day, 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.400 Dak Prescott. Here's how it all went down. Last night. 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.240 Thought I jammed it. I mean I've hit my hand 0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:01.800 on helmets or bodies a lot my career and never 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:03.800 really had anything maybe a jam finger here, and actually 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.200 thought that's what it was. Just the next play he 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.640 realized I couldn't grip the ball, let the sideline know. 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:11.160 And then when I got off, Yeah, I told the 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:12.840 trainers the same thing. I was just like, I can't grip. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.280 I feel like if you ain't it I'll be okay 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:20.400 and no came in got X rays and things are different. Yeah, 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.119 it was tough. I mean it was tough. Veteran defense 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.760 there made it tough on us. We didn't help ourselves 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:30.679 with penalties, just bad timing, just didn't play clean all together. 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.640 And when you put all those things together, you get 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:38.120 a three point game, as we just put out. Yeah, 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:39.720 I'll be there to support him. I'll be there to 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.840 support this whole team and coaching staff and everybody every 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.319 step through it. And for Coop, just continue to prepare, 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.640 continue to approach the way that he's done. I mean 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.440 for five what six years now, so I mean going 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.440 back to his rookie year. I mean, Coop's always been 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.640 a guy that I've turned to, whether it be the 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.840 scheme or whether it just be for help. And now 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.120 I'll be able to help him in these next several 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.160 weeks and just hopefully get the best out of him 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:05.000 and the best out of the scene. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.519 All right, So let's break it down. It was so ugly. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.600 It was even uglier if you were there for the postgame, ladies. 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.000 Jerry Jones typically waits in the owner's box before he 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.760 comes down into the locker room. And he walked towards us, 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:27.080 and you know, I've seen him disappointed rams lost playoffs 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.959 on the road forty nine ers playoff loss last year. 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.280 I don't think that any of us realized though, that 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.560 the thing that was upsetting him obviously was a severity 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:39.440 of Dak Prescott. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.320 So he most of the players typically come through. 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.880 We see Ezekie Elliott, Cee Ceede Lamb, and we're asking questions, 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:45.600 where are the rest of the players. They're not walking 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.240 through the you know, the tunnel to the locker room 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.400 the way they normally do. Sounds like they went in 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:50.040 through the back. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:52.840 I've been meaning to ask people about that. I thought 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:53.520 that was interesting. 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.160 So Jerry then comes out and Chris Beam, who works here, 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.280 tells Cowys informing me that my face said it all 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.000 when Jerry said that we're going to be without Dak 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.840 for a few weeks. I was absolutely shocked, because I 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.200 think we all saw it happen, right. He sort of 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.680 gets his his hands slapped away, and it felt very 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.600 much like I covered the Saints too. It felt very 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.920 much like the UCL injury to Drew Brees which had 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:17.919 him out for five weeks. 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:19.840 Of course, there they had Teddy Bridgewater. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.320 I think they went five and oh as a result 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.200 of that, not the situation here in Dallas. They're saying 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.120 it's gonna be about six to eight weeks. We just 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.000 had Mike McCarthy doing the presser. He said he didn't 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.960 have an update, but that surgery happened this afternoon. Talked 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.440 to Dak in the locker room after Dak could have 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.520 gone and gotten surgery last night. As he described it, 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:41.240 that's how he's wired. But they're putting a it's going 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.680 to be a pen and a plate and that right 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:48.320 thumb to stabilize it not jammed. Pretty significant injury and 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:49.520 a clean break. 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:50.480 All right. 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.040 So that's the news and notes of the day as 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:56.520 it relates to Dak Prescott. Let's get right into it. Aisha, 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.120 your immediate reaction, because again I know. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:00.280 You weren't in the locker room. 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.560 Where were you when you got the news update about 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.200 the severity of Dak, Because as I said, as I'm 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.200 standing there with Jerry even I'm shocked by it. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:08.920 I think I believe I was. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.760 I went to the game, yeah, and I was walking 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:18.400 down I was walking down the stairs and I saw, 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.640 you know, something flashed on Twitter about it. And I 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.960 was just like, yeah, Trivi, you know wraw him. You know, 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:24.560 like I figured he just hit his hand and it 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.520 wasn't anything serious. And then you know, the flood of 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.719 information of Jerry, you know, speaking on it started coming 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.359 out and I heard Bucks fans going by like Jerry 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.000 just came out and said that is like and I 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.600 was like, oh my goodness, this is really happening. He's 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.000 really injured again. What does this mean for this team 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.679 right now? And as we look at like the backup 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.280 quarterback situation, I know we're going to get into that later. 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.760 This is it just was very disheartening. I could tell. 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.800 It was very deflating. Uh And it's also deflating. I 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.480 feel like it's also deflating because just for Dak as 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.320 the player, you have to empathize for the fact that 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.480 he has, you know, come back from the injury he 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:04.880 had before and now he's here again. 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:06.200 So I was. 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.960 Immediately taken aback like you guys were, and my mind 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.760 started processing where do we go from here? 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.160 And I know we're going to talk about that later. 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.680 Yeah. I was also at the game, and you know, 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.440 my parents actually flew in for this game, and they 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.400 were not happy very I know they were not happy, 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.359 to say the very least. They flew in with some 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:29.039 of their friends who also was their first Cowboys game. 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:30.640 Wow. Yeah. 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.800 So we were all walking out and my phone kind 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.040 of started going off for the blog and the Boys 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:40.240 channel that we have, and I saw Dak surgery. I 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.520 just saw two words log on Twitter. I'm going through 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.120 I'm walking out, bumping into people, just kind of central 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.040 focused on my phone there and yeah, I saw it, 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.120 and everyone around me heard me telling my dad. So 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.240 all the fans are asking just as we're walking out, 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:57.800 you know, what's going on? What happened? 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:58.360 Is it bad? 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.200 And it's like, I don't know. We don't really have 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.000 a lot of information right now. I'm just trying to 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.680 get back to the car to figure out what's going 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.120 on so I can walk and not be holding up 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.480 traffic or anything, right, But you know, it was disheartening 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.320 and I the last game that my family and I 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.159 went to was the playoff game as well, So I 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.799 will say that walk of shame. 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:20.279 Allowed in the building anymore. 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:21.360 I think I'm bad. 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.680 I think I'm bad luck too, because I hadn't come 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.599 to any games in the last couple of years because 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:27.320 I've been deployed. 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.000 Yeah, I went to candidate. 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:35.440 Yeah, so we're not getting your credentials, your family, I'm 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:36.200 allowed in the building. 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.480 Here's the thing that walk of shame. After the forty 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.160 nine Ers game felt very long to the car. This 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.120 this one felt ten times longer. And the Bucks fans 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.400 were actually being very nice. Yes, as we were walking 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:46.760 to the car. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.279 That had a great game. Either you'll get into that 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.720 and a bit. Kelsey, what was what was your thoughts? Uh? 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.520 As this is all sort of unraveling. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.040 Yeah, I mean actually my parents too. You can hear 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.440 my voice between the YouTube game this game, I was 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.680 not having a good time, so I lost my voice 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.960 because I'm just disheartening, is the best way to describe 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:12.840 this weekend. And I actually took a little bit of 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.480 an issue with the way Jerry described it. We'll talk 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:16.880 about that later, I'm sure. And he called it a 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:23.440 surprising and I have to honestly disagree. But it was shocking, 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.640 and I do think it was shocking to see how 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.120 bad it actually went down. And I don't know what 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.520 my deal is with having a kinship with the Dallas 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.480 Tabots quarterbacks, but I actually have had this same exact 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.400 surgery the dak has got today. I didn't get I 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.080 didn't get the plate, but I did get a pin 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.240 in my right thumbs. And what's crazy is that I 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.400 was that kid in middle school who was high school. 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.880 Actually I did it during dodgeball, so like we couldn't 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.280 play dodgeball the rest of the year. It was my fault. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.560 But it was like this small little injury that you 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.040 just thought you kind of you know, stubbed your finger, 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.040 and it turns out that it's actually way bigger than 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.200 what you thought, and you have to get the surgery, 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.000 and you have to get a cast, and it becomes 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:07.200 like this whole issue, and I mean, now it's about 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.800 a survival mode, like how do you keep this boat 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.640 afloat for the coming week so that the second half 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.840 of the season this team can actually be some similar 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.080 to a contender. I mean, if there's one, I mean, 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.320 we'll talk silver linings. But at least this is happening 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.080 in the NFC East and not another division. 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.680 Tell how long did your recovery take with the similar surgery. 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.760 It was about the six to eight weeks mark. And 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:35.280 I honestly like it's the worst because you literally have 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.920 to get a cast that goes to like the base 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.199 of your forefingers, like at the top of like it 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.840 encompasses your hand. Your thumb is like all the way 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.760 up and then your cast almost goes down to your elbow, 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:48.959 so it looks like you like broke your forearm or 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:50.840 something like that. And it's just like this big, booky, 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.920 annoying cast and it Grant granted, this was fifteen years ago, 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.199 but still like it was, it was one of the 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.719 most painful and obnoxious injuries I've ever had. And you're 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.160 talking to a girl that has broken her back, So 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.679 it is just it's so annoying and it really does 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.880 interfere with your life. And again, we talked about this 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.160 last week when we were talking about our concerns about 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.560 Dak behind this line and you know, expressing the the 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.720 you know, the whole shoe issue. It's turned out to 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:24.640 potentially maybe be a little bit more and going there, right, Like, 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.640 this quarterback, this quarterback has some serious issues that he 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:32.319 has dealt with injury wise, and I am genuinely concerned 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.240 not only just for this team to recover from those injuries, 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.840 but also his personal mentality and how he recruperates. 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:39.360 Moving boards. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.960 Yeah, you know, I'm glad you brought up the you know, 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.080 we discussed cleetegate at length. That's what I've called it, 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.880 cleet gate last week at length because it felt more 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:52.199 severe than what they were telling I just having covered. 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.880 The lid well. 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.640 And it's not so much that I want to say, look, 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.760 I'm raising my hands to see I was right because 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.480 the ankle didn't feel limited at all yesterday. Right, So 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.199 that the ankle wasn't the issue is just they weren't 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.679 as forthcoming with the information as I think a lot 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.720 of us might have liked them too. It was more 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.719 than just two tight of a claque, and I wish 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.640 they had just stuck with the story. And Jay Glazer 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.960 is very close with Stephen and Jerry and Mike McCarthy, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.440 and so when Jay Glazer puts it out there, he's 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.760 getting it right from the source. And so when he 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.360 said he felt like there was like a pop of 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.400 some sort, and they're like, oh, it's just a pop 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.040 of a scar tissue and that typically happens. Well, why 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:34.120 didn't that happen last year? You did get X rays, 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.120 is what it sounds like. But what was more concerning 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.559 to me is Melissa Stark, who does the broadcast. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.160 We work in NFL Network together. She had a conversation 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:41.520 with him. 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:42.960 He said, well, I don't know where Jay got it, 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.600 but I felt like it kind of felt dead and 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.679 then it came alive again. Oh, And I got to 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.839 be honest, I said, no, he didn't say that. 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:51.240 Really. 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:52.800 She's like, yeah, I mean that's kind of how he 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.760 described it. I'm like, I hope to God that's not 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.520 some nerve that's interesting to me. And so even Melissa 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.400 was confused by it and ultimately didn't go with it 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.080 on TV because I think we both just sat there 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.400 and said, I don't know what to make of that. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.280 So I, honestly, heading into the game, was was nervous 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:10.360 about the offensive line. 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.720 Saw Connor McGovern go down. You know, Fartiac went in 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:15.000 there and. 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.679 Did as good a job as I guess as you're 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.280 gonna do, but you could only you could only be 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.760 serviceable for so long. And so I was literally keeping 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.960 an eye on the ankle the whole game. But when 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.360 this hands situation happened, we watched it when Shaq Barrett 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.960 came across at him, and I honestly I thought I 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:35.280 thought the same thing that Dak did. 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:36.880 I thought, Okay, he's just jammed it. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.440 And so when we went in the locker room and 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.480 we're interviewing Ceede Lamb and I revealed a CD no 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.720 he's out for a few weeks, he goes, oh, well, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.160 it's the first I'm hearing it. And Cooper Rush, so 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.199 a lot of these guys didn't have the full. 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:54.760 Compliment of information. 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.600 And then one of the the things that will stand 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.160 out to me as I look over at Dak and 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.520 you know, kind of whispered to him like sorry, like 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:06.360 mouthing to him. He's kind of gripping the wrapped hand 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.920 the whole time, and he just looks like he's just 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.400 in a daze, just like sort of staring out in 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.520 the space. Because I'm just thinking, you guys are talking 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.120 about mentality. If he felt some sort of weird pop 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.360 last week with the ankle, you've got to be nervous 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.800 about that. If you had surgery twice, now you've got 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:23.800 this hand situation. 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:25.040 It's like you go into. 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:29.400 Season last year it was shoulder, calf, ankle, all of 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.439 that stuff, and then now you're dealing with this. It 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.480 does start to get in your head when the injury 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.960 starts stacking up. Yeah, and so that's what I kept 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.959 thinking of it, and Kelsey, I know you're kind of 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.360 alluding to it. I think the frustrating part for all 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.679 of us is in camp we had questions about the 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.240 wide receivers, which we'll get into. We had questions about 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.480 this offensive line, and we had questions about the depth 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.280 of your quarterback room, and all of it is coming 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:53.160 to bite you right now. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.320 It's very reminiscent of, like I'm just being honest, going 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.800 to that forty nine Ers game, all of the Cowboys 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.000 efficiencies were on full display. 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:02.400 Yep. 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.679 There was no way to avoid it. You couldn't hide it. 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.560 You saw the penalties, you saw the offensive line struggle, 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.439 you saw literally the run defense struggle. 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.320 You saw every single thing. 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.640 And then you come to this game and you see 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:21.600 the exact same situation and there's no like, what are 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.160 we doing? And I understand, like you said, the DAC 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.600 was just sitting in the daze. What does he have 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.600 to feel like right now? I mean, there has to 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.319 be something they can do that's better on this offensive 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:37.160 line for him because that I don't know. I just 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.559 feel like we talk about it all the time. This 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.040 quarterback is not He's a top ten quarterback. And we 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.320 understand that offensive line is not something that comes, you know, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.760 just regularly. It's not an easy thing to come across. 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.800 But you just would think that there would just be 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.400 more of an urgency to take care of this gentleman, 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.920 given his story, given where what he's done to get 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.240 to this point, he's done for this organization. 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:02.600 So I'm I'm just. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.040 Extremely frustrated for him and just this whole situation as 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:06.360 at all. 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.720 And I think, and real quick, guys, I think the 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.880 issue is now, given where we're at in the season tracking, 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.400 I mean, already you're seeing Tampa's they're gonna obviously have 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.080 issues now with their They've they've got their offensive line 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.960 woes that they're dealing with. I mean, injuries are popping up, 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.840 fining these guys out in the street. It's tough to find. 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.440 You're not gonna find a wide receiver right now. You're 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.080 not going to find a quarterback right now. Although Mike 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:30.880 McCarthy and the presser said they had a list of 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:32.600 available quarterback. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.200 List of all the quarterbacks in the NFL in front 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:34.440 of them. 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.000 Right but you're not gonna go out the Eagles aren't 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.280 gonna give you Gardner Minshew. I don't think the forty 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.720 nine ers are going to just be interested in necessarily 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:48.840 training Jimmy Garoppolo within the division is Josh McCallen around. Seriously, 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:53.800 I'm dead serious on that, Ryan Fitzpatrick, I honestly like 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:54.760 your Amazon job. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.240 Honestly, if they're talking about keeping it in house, which. 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.400 Is typically yeah, that's why they're gonna to do it. 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.800 I understand the conversation of Cooper Rush and all that 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:09.280 good stuff, But if you want to not Micha McCarthy said, 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.800 they're not changing the playbook at all. But if you 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.320 wanted to insert a gentleman that can maybe do some 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:15.680 of the things that Dak does. 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.000 Wouldn't that be a Will Greer? Wouldn't that wouldn't he 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:18.200 give you? 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:18.440 Well? 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.520 What was interesting is, guys, we were having a conversation 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.560 in training camp that Will Greer until he got insured, 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:25.000 and so a lot of fans didn'tet to see him. 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.040 In the preseason. Will Greer was pushing Cooper Rush. 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:28.000 I Can'tyeah, he was. 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.080 So It's so odd to me and I and I get, 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.840 you know, him being a veteran, you know, Cooper Rush 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.280 being a veteran having snaps. But then you you just 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.600 say to yourself, like, that's what I'm looking at if 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.000 you want to compete. I think if they're trying to 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.560 continue to compete, he gives them the best chance. And 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.600 that's just how I feel, especially with the offensive line 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.080 possibly like not being you. 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.400 Know, super well put together. You want a guy that's 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:53.320 a little bit more mobile. 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.720 Note I just I think having covered this team, the 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.040 last couple of your guys, I think that they're because 0:15:58.080 --> 0:15:58.720 I know Dak is. 0:15:58.680 --> 0:15:59.720 A huge fan of Cooper Rush. 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.440 Try you and I understand, and so I think because 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:07.320 of their time together his knowledge of the playbook, Cooper 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.600 makes the most sense at this point, given the urgency 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:11.480 of the situation. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:12.600 If this had happened in. 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.560 Training camp, I think there would have been a competition, 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.080 uh for that starting job. But I think at this 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:21.720 point it's Cooper's job unless there's somebody that there. I mean, 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:23.720 look the Jason Peters thing, I'd thrown out a couple 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.040 of names before Jason got here. Uh, they got lucky 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:28.760 because he's from these text That's what I'm saying. Look, 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:32.000 Josh and the McCowan brothers are right there in Jacksonville, Texas. 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:36.000 Still I believe. I mean, I don't know. 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:38.840 I just honestly, you guys, like I feel like the 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.800 thing Isa that you just said, and I actually want 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:43.680 to kind of dive into this for a quick second, 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.400 is we've heard this team tell us, you know, as 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:50.080 people in the media, as as people that are fans, 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.800 several narratives. But I think it's important for us to 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.240 kind of have our eyes wide open as you know, 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.280 people that are ingesting this information. You heard last week 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.080 about the quote non injury or whatever it was with 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:02.920 Dak and then maybe you're hearing that something else is 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.119 actually the truth, like McCarthy saying they're not changing the playbook, 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:10.479 Like that's I honestly, spare me with that, with that 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:15.440 conversation whatsoever, because there's absolutely no way that you don't 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.400 have to make adjustment when you go from your franchise 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.960 starting quarterback to a guy who you know, honestly he's 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.720 had minimal starting opportunities in the league. You cannot tell 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.600 me that any smart person who is looking at the 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:35.720 lay of the land knows that that's impossible and impossible, and. 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:36.360 You won on the road. 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:37.800 They keep bringing up the fact he had the one 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.240 win in Minneapolis, and granted it was a huge win, 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.240 but you had Amari Cooper, who. 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.120 Remember was telling us give me the ball when CD 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:45.639 wanted it. 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.679 It was like, give me the ball, and we're going 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.000 to get in to the wide receiver conversation after this break. 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.720 I don't I've been already like telling you guys, I 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.640 don't know how I feel about that wide receiver room 0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:00.439 and Celam being the eighty eight, but the stats up 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.040 the other day. Guys, Let's go ahead, just jump into 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:04.800 a break real quick, because I know we want to 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.879 deep dive into this offense and how. 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:08.800 Rough it was. So we'll go ahead and we'll get 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:09.640 in the break. We come back. 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.080 Let's talk about our confidence in this wide receiver room 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.280 after having a lack of confidence in it heading into 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.680 the season.

It's a non 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:19.880 fungible to something that isn't about. 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.800 Welcome back to Girls Talk, Boys Talk here at the 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.320 Star in Frisco. I am your host of the NFL Network, 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:38.240 Jane Slater, joined by Aisham Worrison, Jessina Varas, and I 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:39.920 have got Kelsey Charles joining. 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:41.199 Us remotely, all right. 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.200 One of the questions that came up today of Stephen 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:45.240 Jones on one of five through the Fan was the 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.320 lack of playing your starters in the preseason. 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:49.600 Was that an issue? 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:50.199 Uh? 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:51.879 It was Stephen Jones. 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.639 Who said that everything's going to be up for scrutiny. 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:58.680 I asked Mike McCarthy that specifically, and he said he 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:01.840 didn't necessarily think so, because they opened up the game 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.080 with a fourteen play drive. It was fourteen plays for 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.360 fifty four yards five point fifty eight there, and yes 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:09.119 they got three points on the board. And that was 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:13.000 the last time because a Cowboys saw the scoreboard. There 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.280 was a commitment to their run. So I liked that. 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:17.960 But then let's talk about the second drive for the Cowboys. 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:19.880 Ellie gets you seven yards. Then what do we say 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.920 on Friday death taxes and penalties for the Cowboys. 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:26.560 That was their first penalty. They had a five yard 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:27.119 false start. 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:29.400 For the penalty, you had two It completes to Lamb 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.360 and Schultz three plays for two yards. All right, Then 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:35.560 let's get into your third Cowboys drive to knock out 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:39.600 your first quarter, Turpin brings out twenty yards. Rico'donald gets 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:41.440 the penalty for holding that gives you ten yards. You 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.960 get pollered for one, Schultz for five yards, go three 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:47.960 and out. That's eighteen plays, three drives, three point seven 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.240 yards to play, forty eight yards passing, nineteen rushing. 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:51.640 They were two for four and third. 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:56.160 Down efficiency time of possession eight sixteen. The biggest thing 0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:59.000 that stood out to them today when Mike McCarthy was 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.760 asked about their deficion Was there their issues on third downs? 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.919 I think they were what three for fifteen? Yep, Yeah, 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:09.280 they had this problem last year. 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:11.480 And so I'll start with the ii issha because I 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:15.840 love the fact that you're such a film junkie. We 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:18.000 joked about this last week that I needed to bring 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.320 up the article and I wish that I had. There 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:22.440 was an article by Peter King talking about the vic 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:26.520 Fangio blueprint and what Key did to the Cowboys. You 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:28.479 can expect to see more teams do to them this year. 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:31.800 It was a fascinating article. Did you see that when 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:32.520 you looked at the film? 0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:38.320 And yeah, I mean Tampa Bay really honestly, they ran 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:41.119 their base and they rushed for and then they dropped, 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.720 you know, six seven guys in the coverage, and it 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:47.600 kind of it was frustrating for me because last year, 0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:49.600 I like, I just was telling you guys, I felt 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:52.800 like that defenses were doing that to the Cowboys and 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:54.080 they were daring you to run the ball. 0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:55.639 They were daring the Cowboys to run. 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:57.560 The ball because they knew that the Cowboys gonna run 0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:00.680 the ball, and well they're dan and pass the ball 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:02.040 and they couldn't run the ball, so it was a 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.840 mixture of both. So now this year you saw success 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:08.120 in the run. I believe that Zeke average like five 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:09.119 yards of carry like it was. 0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:09.679 It was success. 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:14.000 They were successful. Some of the schemes were successful early 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:17.520 in that game running the ball, but then there was 0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:21.359 no separation from the receivers. There was no there's you know, 0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:23.119 Dak was to deliver in the ball late he was 0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:25.680 double clutching because he wasn't sure because those windows were 0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:26.240 so tight. 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:31.399 There's the lack of a vertical. 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:35.240 Threat on this team just completely demoralized them last year. 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:39.320 It allowed it allowed Tampa's DB's to play down on everything. 0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:40.640 They were key and on everything. 0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:44.199 Even Mike McCarthy talked about today that they were biding 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:46.879 on every route like they knew, like they were jumping 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:50.280 every route like and when that happens, like the forty 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.879 nine ers game, somebody been studying, somebody know what you 0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:55.320 do well and what you don't do well? 0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:57.680 What did they say in yours past with Jason Garrett, 0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:00.320 how predictable the offense was that they would literally all 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.600 out to play across the line of scrimmage. 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:05.800 And the even more frustrating thing is that there were 0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:08.320 in the beginning of that game when the run was working. 0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:12.240 Then you saw Kelen come in there and start doing 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:14.359 some like I don't know. 0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:18.040 That put you behind the chains. 0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:21.400 And when you start talking about the penalties, they did 0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:23.840 throw on first down a couple of times, but they 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:26.879 were pretty successful when they were in those first few plays. 0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:32.640 After that, after that penalty, they couldnot overcome the penalties. 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:34.760 They cannot overcome getting behind the chains. 0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.080 And when you don't have a vertical threat or when 0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.760 you have guys that can stretch the field, that's what 0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:42.439 happens because who cares. 0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:43.960 I can play over the top of I can play 0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:44.560 over the top. 0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:46.280 Of everyone that you have right now. I don't have 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:49.280 to respect what you're doing. And you could see on tape. 0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:51.879 I watched that game this morning. They had no respect 0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.520 for what our receivers brought to the table, to include 0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:55.639 CD Land and. 0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:56.480 Real quick guys. 0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:58.720 I think the biggest The other thing that really stands 0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.119 out to me about this team is there ability to 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:04.040 make halftime adjustments. Yes, when they came out the first 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:06.199 drive out of the half, they went to Elliott twice. 0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:08.280 They get a penalty Elliott again. 0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:10.359 Then you go to Pollard for a third and six, 0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:12.560 and then that's when Devin White sacks Stack and your 0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:15.320 pat and you're literally punning it away. And then when 0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:17.000 you look at the Bucks, they come out for net 0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:20.240 eleven yards, nine yards, seventeen yards. They just keep going 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:23.000 at them. And so you had all of these power 0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:27.359 runs from the Bucks and you got the sense that, 0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:29.040 you know, while the defense I thought did a great 0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:32.440 job for Dallas, and we'll get into that, the Cowboys 0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:34.720 just didn't have answers at the half. And I said, 0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:37.240 having covered quite a few Tom Brady games, there was 0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:39.399 a Falcons game that stood out to me about two 0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:42.120 years ago. He put up more points in the third 0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:44.040 quarter that he did in the entire first half. He 0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:47.080 is so good at halftime adjustments. Yeah, and I just 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.199 thought that was something that the Cowboys absolutely struggled with. 0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:52.600 Well, and here's the thing too, is we Yeah, sorry, Kelse, 0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:55.800 I need to get this off my chest because last week, Jane, 0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:58.159 we left because I said, I'm the most confident that 0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:01.040 we're going to see penalties. Remember that, and what did 0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:04.679 we do? But what ended up killing us like it 0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:06.879 did the last time we played Tampa Bay, but even 0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:10.520 worse this time, because all we've heard all of this 0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:14.040 off season was how the discipline issue is fixed and 0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:16.680 it's corrected, and that's not going to be an issue 0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:19.680 going forward. I'm sorry, but of course the Bucks aren't 0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:22.160 going to respect a team that's doing the exact same 0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:26.240 thing that they ruined their playoff game with last season 0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:29.600 in penalty penalty penalty, one hundred and twenty seven penalties 0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:33.480 last season. And I'm sorry, but the amount of penalties 0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:36.439 during this game I expected from the rookie players, the 0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:39.800 younger players. They were not all coming from them, and 0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:43.919 to me, it just showed the extreme lack of chemistry 0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:46.800 within the offense. And that's the scary part is they 0:26:46.840 --> 0:26:49.639 couldn't establish a run. They ditched the run early. We 0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:53.080 see these fancy trick plays from Kellen Moore early on. Okay, 0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:54.800 if you're going to do that, do that, but. 0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:55.760 Keep doing it. 0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:59.000 You're going back to the same thing that does not work. 0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:03.920 You're trying to force these passes. And I asked Jane earlier, 0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:07.320 does this fall on Dak calling off the run or 0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:09.560 does this fall on Kellen Moore, Because at the end 0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:11.800 of the day, if you established that run, Zeke was 0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:14.640 trying to bust for some holes if you kept establishing him. 0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:17.320 Let's see, he had ten carries for fifty two yards. 0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:20.919 There is no reason Ezekiel Elliott should only touch that 0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:24.000 ball ten times within that game. Absolutely no reason. 0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:28.080 Oh Gonestly, you talked about respect, and I think that's 0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:30.679 a really great point. But here's the thing about respect 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.679 is it has earned and I do not know what 0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:36.600 this Dallas Cowboys team, and quite frankly, while we're talking 0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:39.960 about the team, this front offense has done to earn 0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:42.760 the respect of other teams in the league, I actually, 0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:45.360 you know again, took issue with Vick Kanzi was saying 0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:48.200 that they had the blueprint. But you know what, maybe 0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:51.480 they do and it really is a definition of insanity 0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:54.560 to keep doing the same thing over and over again 0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:57.879 and expecting results. Fact, I think David Hellman, one of 0:27:57.920 --> 0:28:00.000 my dear dear friends, I know you guys are all familiar, 0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:02.240 had a really great point on his show the other 0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:04.800 day and he talked about the fact that you go 0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:07.480 out and you pay your franchise quarterback right, and then 0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:09.560 what are you doing to equip him with the weapon? 0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:14.400 It's not fair and nor is it logical for being 0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:17.560 frank to expect a guy to go out there, you 0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:19.360 pay him, and you're like, oh, I paid him so much. 0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:21.400 We could go all all day and talk about how 0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:23.680 it's the markets work a certain way. Yeah, you're gonna 0:28:23.680 --> 0:28:25.240 pay him a lot of money. But you've got to 0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:27.320 give them the tools, you guys. You've got to give 0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:30.040 them the tools. The chiefs they went out and got 0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:32.959 Patrick Mahomes what he needed. What is your front office 0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:40.080 doing besides not paying guys that could literally be starters 0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:44.360 on this offense, key impact players on the line as 0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:47.640 offensive weapons for this team, and they go, no, you 0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:49.840 know what, I'm going to go down down the street 0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:53.120 to the dollar store and expect me mean Marcus results. 0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:56.840 It's it's absolute insanity and it makes no sense. 0:28:56.920 --> 0:28:58.520 I actually really loved the analogy. 0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:03.120 I think the issue that I have, though, is Dak 0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:06.080 felt off in that game too, and I think, look, 0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:07.720 I'm a huge fan of Dak, and this is not 0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:10.080 this is not trashing Dak. 0:29:10.840 --> 0:29:12.640 I can't play one. But there were questions. 0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:15.160 Even when I was looking at the eleven targets intended 0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:17.400 for Ceedee Lamb and he only hauled in two of those. 0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:21.440 I think some of those were absolutely Ceedee Lamb. I 0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:23.080 watched the game. I did not watch back the All 0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:26.560 twenty two this morning, but I just wanted a I 0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:29.840 when I even asked CD and Dak, you know how 0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:31.880 much extra work you oh every time we get a chance, 0:29:32.080 --> 0:29:35.240 But when you're not playing and you're putting more emphasis 0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:37.360 on the joint practices versus live game. 0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:39.840 I just thought they needed preseason chemistry. That was my 0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:40.520 opinion on it. 0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:43.200 And then I would also submit there are a lot 0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:45.920 of other quarterbacks in the league, Aaron Rodgers who have 0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:49.560 done more with less, right, and so I'm not sitting 0:29:49.600 --> 0:29:52.800 here knocking Dak necessarily, and I think you will. I mean, 0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:55.360 let's talk about the fact that Jalen Tolbert, who you 0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:58.160 picked up in the draft this year, wasn't even dressed out. Instead, 0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:03.680 you had Houston out of San Antonio, untraft target who was. 0:30:03.680 --> 0:30:07.160 Out there, who got prime targets, He got important targets 0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:07.360 at it. 0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:10.280 I remember I was asked on ESPN Radio when I 0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:12.160 was doing a hit last week Dennis Houston, and I 0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.320 said who, And then here's a guy that's stressing out 0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:15.520 over Jalen Tolbert and so. 0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:18.440 Well, and you can I think Dak was trying to 0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:20.920 force the chemistry with him, and it just was not 0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:24.360 clicking after and again, I don't ever. 0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:26.040 And again I don't know if that was because the 0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:28.920 pressure that he was getting in his face, if it 0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:30.959 was the if the guy, if if their receivers were 0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:31.560 not in the right place. 0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:33.640 I know they started playing a lot of man coverage. 0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:35.719 It was a mixture of a lot of things. But 0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:39.920 I will I will say that I do think I 0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:43.600 used to be very about preseason, but with the being 0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:47.960 so short, you need at least one you see the Bills. 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.440 Even like, even though the Bucks didn't look super special 0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:53.480 yesterday with some of the things they did, tom it 0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:55.920 was in a preseason He did play in a preseason game. 0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:59.280 I watched the preseason game, and let me tell you, 0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:01.760 it's so funny because we talk about the preseason. 0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:02.200 We shayn't. 0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:03.800 We say they're not gonna show you anything. 0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:07.160 They're not gonna I watched the preseason game of the books, 0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:09.040 and a lot of what they did to us yesterday 0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:10.800 offensively was pretty much the same. 0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:13.200 It's just quickouts, quickouts. 0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:15.480 They I mean, obviously they got some play down the field, 0:31:15.520 --> 0:31:17.680 you know, before Chris Godwin got hurt, they got a 0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:19.280 couple of plays down the field, but prior to that, 0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:23.040 it's quickouts, quick release, quick and not a lot of 0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:26.240 quarterbacks can do what Tom does, so it's difficult to replicate. 0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:29.080 But I do agree, like I'm at at that point 0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:31.720 where I do think that preseason is starting, at least 0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:33.560 the game, at least the drive something. 0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:35.200 But let's talk about that. 0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:39.080 Tom didn't have a great, great game yesterday either. Okay, 0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:42.800 he found the end zone once you lost Chris Godwin, 0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:44.920 your wide receiver in that game. 0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:48.640 I mean, with the exception of that absurd. 0:31:48.240 --> 0:31:52.720 Julio Jones catch Julio Jones had today, they were trying 0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:55.240 to give you the game. Mike McCarthy even conceded that 0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:57.160 it's like, as much as you even tried to San 0:31:57.240 --> 0:31:59.840 Francisco tried to give you the game and the playoffs. 0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:03.760 I think my concern sometimes with this team is I'm 0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:07.760 told the work ethics great, they're motivated, remember last week, 0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:09.719 ause they've turned it up a notch. They're locked in. 0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:12.760 They don't feel it's like you punch them in the face. 0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:15.560 There's no counter, and sometimes I worry that they don't 0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:18.640 get back up. It was the minute Tom scored in 0:32:18.680 --> 0:32:21.240 the end zone I felt is when that's when it 0:32:21.280 --> 0:32:24.120 felt like again, we're in the fourth quarter seven oh 0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:26.240 eight now, right after as we're watching it here in 0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:29.600 the studio, right here, it started to feel like they 0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:32.120 felt like this game had just gotten away from them. 0:32:32.360 --> 0:32:35.040 Yeah, they weren't playing. Remember you played through the whistle. 0:32:35.600 --> 0:32:38.560 I worry about this team sometimes. 0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:41.160 Well, go ahead, something that I was gonna say that 0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:43.840 how much of that falls on the discipline aspect that 0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:47.160 we have been mocking over and over and over, Because 0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:51.200 here's my thing, Terrence Steele. You have three penalties in 0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:55.040 a row. Not one, which is bad enough, not two, 0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:58.760 which is even worse. You have three, and given I get, 0:32:58.760 --> 0:33:01.360 we don't really have a options. The Cowboys don't really 0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:04.760 have other options to put in there. I'm sorry as 0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:07.040 as a fan, I don't want to see any more 0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:09.400 of him. Sit him for at least one series, make 0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:11.320 a statement, or take him out of the game. That 0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:14.720 is unacceptable for me to see a player have three 0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:18.720 penalties in a row, and especially going into a game 0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:21.280 where the penalties were already hurting us the entire game. 0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:24.440 You look back and those penalties ended up being vital 0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:28.520 points in something that could have given the Cowboys momentum 0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:31.080 and they killed it every single time. 0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:33.360 Penalties for seventy three yards. 0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:37.120 And it is frustrating with Tang still because like he 0:33:37.160 --> 0:33:39.720 has worked his tail off, but we he has worked 0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:43.880 his tail yet. But they're just the accountability that has 0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:45.480 to be taken on this team. 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.720 And it's not just for fans or anything. It's for 0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:49.240 each other. 0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:52.960 Because we're sitting here talking about this offense and this 0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:55.280 defense held them to nineteen points. 0:33:55.280 --> 0:33:57.360 It felt I was It felt like the. 0:33:57.400 --> 0:34:01.160 Chiefs game again, where you're my does all they can, 0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:04.560 The defense comes out, the offense is inept where I 0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:07.239 remember I think Coop and CD had to covid if 0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:08.360 I'm not mistaken, they were. 0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:10.880 Out and I remember the struggle. 0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:13.400 But seeing this defense just battle back, battle back, and 0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:15.560 so we I look at the other side of the 0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:19.320 ball and your defense was on the field so much 0:34:19.640 --> 0:34:21.640 that towards the end of the game you start seeing 0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:24.239 them getting gassed out. There's some injuries that came up 0:34:24.280 --> 0:34:27.640 as well, and there's when you talk about camaraderie in 0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:29.920 the locker room and stuff like that, like they talk 0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:31.160 about playing for each other. 0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:36.720 I'm like, where is that? Where is that right now? Y'all, 0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:40.680 because I didn't feel that at all yesterday. Go ahead, Kelsey, Sorry, No. 0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:43.080 Accountability is a great way to describe it, though, Asha like, 0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:45.200 I love that you guys are saying that, and Jess 0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:48.000 like I feel that mentality you talk about you want 0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:51.000 to sit a player. My whole concern though, is that 0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:55.520 I really do feel like accountability needs to spread to 0:34:55.560 --> 0:34:58.000 the front office as well, And because when you talk 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:01.880 about wanting to rotate someone out because they are not 0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:06.279 being disciplined enough, and like a Terrence feels, you may 0:35:06.400 --> 0:35:08.719 love that guy as a coach, you may think he's 0:35:08.880 --> 0:35:11.440 quote the right type of guy, but if he's not 0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:14.920 performing on the field and you need to make a switch, 0:35:15.200 --> 0:35:18.560 what puzzle pieces do you have to plug in besides noting? 0:35:19.080 --> 0:35:20.040 And who's faults that? 0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:20.440 Right? 0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:21.000 Right? 0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:24.080 I mean genuinely, whose fault is that? Because I just 0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:27.560 I think it really does go back to again, I 0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.600 don't feel like this team has done a good job 0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:34.840 of setting up these players or these coaches for success 0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:38.440 because you really do have limited resources, and I just 0:35:38.560 --> 0:35:42.440 think we have to again be accountable to that. And 0:35:42.440 --> 0:35:44.520 when I say we, not me because I wasn't the 0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:46.240 one making a call, but like I think the front 0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:50.319 office has to wear that mantle and understand it like 0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:53.200 you are the reason. Look at the mirror like this 0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:55.040 is largely your doing. 0:35:55.239 --> 0:35:57.600 And you know what's interesting too, is we heard from 0:35:57.680 --> 0:36:01.360 Terrence Steele in the locker room and we have that 0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:03.080 sound jazz. If you want to play that sound real 0:36:03.120 --> 0:36:04.760 quick so we can listen to it, that'd be good. 0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:09.480 Especially you know with me three, I think priestnot pilonies. 0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:11.879 It's unexcusable. That's something we can't have. You know, Coach 0:36:11.880 --> 0:36:15.000 puts a big infasis on that. So there's definitely something 0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:17.080 I'm not the work on in the future for sure, 0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:18.080 but you can't have that. 0:36:18.680 --> 0:36:21.080 Here's the thing. Why do we have to work on 0:36:21.120 --> 0:36:23.920 it now? You should have been working on it. Every 0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:27.840 single person on this team should have been working on penalties. 0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:30.200 After the one hundred and twenty seven penalties, I'm going 0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:32.360 to keep that number going all year and you're going 0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:34.440 to get so sick of hearing me say it that 0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:37.799 the penalties are going to be what kills us, and 0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:40.600 they kill the momentum, which I mean you see what 0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:42.920 you see, what happens exactly what you were talking about, Jane, 0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:48.320 that fourth quarter absolutely, no momentum, no motivation, no accountability, 0:36:48.440 --> 0:36:50.759 nothing from the Cowboys that said, hey, we're even going 0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:53.439 to try to push to just get in the end zone. 0:36:53.680 --> 0:36:57.400 Being the only team in the NFL on Sunday the played, 0:36:57.400 --> 0:36:59.480 given we haven't seen any Monday night games, to not 0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:01.320 make a touch down unacceptable. 0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:03.200 I think what stands out to me too, though, is 0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:06.839 when you talk about Mike puts such an emphasis on it. 0:37:09.560 --> 0:37:11.200 If I screw up in my job right. 0:37:13.000 --> 0:37:15.239 On Sundays, so like we do game days and it's 0:37:15.320 --> 0:37:18.480 forty second hits, if I go forty three forty five, 0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:21.000 they truck it. It sounds dumb, but it's that's three. 0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:23.200 That's three seconds, then five seconds, then ten seconds that 0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:24.920 I've taken away from our studio analysts. 0:37:25.239 --> 0:37:26.000 They'll bench us. 0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:28.640 In other words, you don't get to do game day 0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:30.759 the following week. And I've seen them do it to reporters. 0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:32.160 There are. 0:37:34.040 --> 0:37:38.400 There are consequences when you don't meet expectations. 0:37:37.480 --> 0:37:38.800 That we have for our show. 0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:45.480 What are the consequences when these guys aren't living up 0:37:45.480 --> 0:37:48.360 to the standard. That is, we have to miniate because 0:37:48.719 --> 0:37:50.480 the field possessions, the field. 0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:51.120 Position is important. 0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:52.080 I was going to talk about that. 0:37:52.360 --> 0:37:54.359 When you have these penalties that are costing you field 0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:57.680 positions and you're you're going three and out or it's 0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:00.960 a second and sixteen or a second and twenty. That's 0:38:01.239 --> 0:38:04.200 that's why the penalties are a big deal. And again, 0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:07.719 coming off of last year and Mike is I'll never 0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:10.200 forget it was before the Broncos game, Mike said it 0:38:10.200 --> 0:38:12.160 was a point of emphasis, something we worked on. I 0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:13.920 think that was one of one of their most heavily 0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:15.960 penalized games, was it not the Broncos last year? 0:38:16.040 --> 0:38:17.520 So it was a rough one, and. 0:38:17.600 --> 0:38:19.920 So the Raiders game, let's not forget one. 0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:21.719 I feel like Mike has done a sort of a 0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:24.520 good job of endearing himself to this team. He's almost 0:38:24.560 --> 0:38:29.200 become like, uh, the players coach, right, you know, he's 0:38:29.200 --> 0:38:30.439 given them some of the off days. 0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:33.360 We're gonna cut practice earlier. We're focusing on the bodies. 0:38:33.640 --> 0:38:35.640 We're not going to play your body and preseason players 0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:37.960 love that, right because it allows their bodies that you're 0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:39.560 not putting so much tread on their tires. 0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:42.120 Is that a good thing though. 0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:44.960 I think it is if they're being productive. Yeah, if 0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:46.960 you're working on the things that need to be worked on. 0:38:47.040 --> 0:38:50.239 You're not giving me seven penalties in a game. You're 0:38:50.320 --> 0:38:53.600 not giving me how many yardage and penalties? Jane, when 0:38:53.640 --> 0:38:56.439 you're doing those things, sure take your off day until then, 0:38:56.719 --> 0:38:59.040 Absolutely not. There's too much work that needs to be done. 0:38:59.320 --> 0:39:02.560 There is way way too many mistakes that were made. 0:39:03.040 --> 0:39:06.240 I mean, man, going through those locker room sound bites, 0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:09.840 you had Zeke saying, hey, we need to clean up penalties, 0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:13.040 clean up protection. You had Tyler Smith saying, hey, we 0:39:13.120 --> 0:39:16.880 had flags and missed opportunities. You had Dalton Schultz talking 0:39:16.880 --> 0:39:21.120 about too many penalties. You had every almost every single 0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:24.680 player in those post game interviews in the locker room 0:39:24.719 --> 0:39:29.000 saying penalties, penalties, penalties. Why are we still talking about penalties? 0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:32.239 I'm so sick of hearing the word penalties and Dallas 0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:33.480 Cowboys in the same sentence. 0:39:34.080 --> 0:39:36.839 Honestly, though, like I feel like this, I keep saying this, 0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:39.960 I will get a guy like a Terence Steel, and 0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:42.120 I know this coaching staff loved him. 0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:45.160 But it was not that long ago, you guys, and 0:39:45.200 --> 0:39:46.120 buy not that long I. 0:39:46.040 --> 0:39:50.480 Mean last season, we're sitting here saying this man has 0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:51.280 not been set. 0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:51.720 Up for success. 0:39:51.760 --> 0:39:54.600 He's an undrafted free agent. I had a Texas text. 0:39:55.040 --> 0:39:59.640 He literally the commentary about the Terrence Steel experiment needs 0:39:59.640 --> 0:39:59.920 to be op. 0:40:00.280 --> 0:40:02.120 They like him though, they love it. 0:40:02.239 --> 0:40:05.960 When I was at Combine, listening to Mike McCarthy and 0:40:06.000 --> 0:40:08.640 this staff talk about their love of Terrence Steele was 0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:13.760 the most fascinating conversation his agent. His agent is Eric Burkhardt, 0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:15.600 who also represents Kyler Murray. 0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:18.520 Eric kept telling me they love him. 0:40:18.600 --> 0:40:21.880 He's I'm like I, there's a lot of people that 0:40:21.960 --> 0:40:24.239 I like that aren't great at their jobs. Kelsey, I 0:40:24.280 --> 0:40:26.000 work with a lot of people in this business that 0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:29.160 are very likable, but I don't think they're particularly good 0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:32.480 at their jobs. Yeah, both can be the same, both 0:40:32.600 --> 0:40:34.600 can be right, right, So, I don't know. 0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:38.520 We've harped enough on the deficiencies of this team. How 0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:40.120 do we give them some silver linings. We've got five 0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:42.120 minutes left in the show. Let's quickly go to a break. 0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:44.640 That's how much time we need to go over the 0:40:44.719 --> 0:40:46.719 silver linings. Not a lot of time. 0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:51.120 The Girls Talk, Boys Talk podcast brought to you by 0:40:51.200 --> 0:40:54.080 Jigsaw Dating, the official dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys, 0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:55.880 will be right back, Sweet. 0:40:56.560 --> 0:40:58.080 Did you get to work on time? 0:40:58.239 --> 0:40:59.880 Yeah, but I just realized it's Sunday. 0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:01.560 Little sweets his head on home. 0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:06.560 Doctor Pepper's on its way, so sweet you need Maybe 0:41:06.600 --> 0:41:10.400 there's nothing better.

Okay, silver linings, let's do the silver 0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:49.759 lining playbook here, guys. The silver lining for me was 0:43:49.800 --> 0:43:53.520 Brett Maher. Oh, kicking was not an issue in. 0:43:53.360 --> 0:43:54.400 This year's opener. 0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:59.440 Brett Maher putting three points on the board. 0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:00.920 Can you image? And if he did it and they 0:44:00.920 --> 0:44:02.440 were shut out of this one? 0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:05.880 All right, are Yisha, I'm sorry you're silver lining my 0:44:06.000 --> 0:44:06.760 silver lining? 0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:11.680 Uh, tater tots with. 0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:14.200 Yeah, there you go. 0:44:14.360 --> 0:44:18.960 With McGovern going down, you do got some insurance and 0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:20.520 Jason Peters there you go. 0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:22.799 Who by the way, we were asked, We asked Mike 0:44:22.880 --> 0:44:25.359 McCarthy about that, and he said that he is still 0:44:25.440 --> 0:44:26.760 up in their ramp up face. 0:44:26.960 --> 0:44:27.719 Yes, I heard that. 0:44:28.040 --> 0:44:31.160 Can you accelerate coming down that this week? 0:44:31.200 --> 0:44:31.440 Can I? 0:44:32.680 --> 0:44:33.279 Okay? Go ahead? 0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:36.640 Silver lining for me, I'm gonna go with the obvious. Michaeh. Parsons. 0:44:37.120 --> 0:44:37.960 He showed up. 0:44:38.239 --> 0:44:41.200 He was ready to give Tom Brady the point of 0:44:41.239 --> 0:44:44.279 view of a lion attack, if you will, And he 0:44:44.440 --> 0:44:47.640 really I think his first the first half the game 0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:50.760 was better for him. And you know, to be quite honest, 0:44:50.800 --> 0:44:53.640 I don't blame him for the second half of not 0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:56.680 getting another sack at that point. Really, who was doing 0:44:56.760 --> 0:45:00.719 much But Micah Parsons. You have to that guy. You 0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:03.720 have to root for him, and he really he showed 0:45:03.760 --> 0:45:06.880 Tom Brady. What was that SpongeBob meme or the Quarry's like, 0:45:07.600 --> 0:45:09.480 we want more of this old man, like he was 0:45:09.520 --> 0:45:11.600 ready to go and he was disrespecting his elders. You 0:45:11.719 --> 0:45:12.480 just love to see it. 0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:15.920 Kelsey, I love the Micah Parsons one. That was one 0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:19.080 of my lists too. His two sacks actually marked his 0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:21.200 fourth three or multi sack game, which I think is great. 0:45:21.480 --> 0:45:24.319 He's actually the only player in Cowboys history with four 0:45:24.400 --> 0:45:27.560 multi sacks games in his first few seasons, beating to 0:45:27.600 --> 0:45:29.520 Marcus Ware, so we'll take it as a silver lining. 0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:32.640 I like that Dultan Schultz. That would be a key 0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:36.440 to the game for me, and he did nothing less 0:45:36.680 --> 0:45:40.359 than follow through with his promises and continue to step 0:45:40.440 --> 0:45:43.200 up for this team. So he was a big silver 0:45:43.239 --> 0:45:45.520 lining for me, a little victory if you will. Sure 0:45:45.560 --> 0:45:49.520 we'll talk to more this week. But yeah, Kelsey, why honestly, 0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:54.279 I just for me. I really respect hal Dalton has 0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:57.480 been able to He's kind of like what he's just 0:45:57.560 --> 0:46:00.320 kind of been like the safety net. And that's saying 0:46:00.320 --> 0:46:03.080 the lot for a guy that has had had minimal 0:46:03.120 --> 0:46:06.319 expectations coming onto this team. You didn't expect him to 0:46:06.360 --> 0:46:09.000 be a key part of this offense. Blake Jarwin goes down, 0:46:09.080 --> 0:46:11.439 he becomes one of your lead receivers. He's learning more 0:46:11.480 --> 0:46:14.560 so about being a better like in past particularly. I 0:46:14.719 --> 0:46:17.480 appreciate what he's been able to do for us and 0:46:17.560 --> 0:46:21.239 again yesterday too. Let's face it, guys are wide receivers. 0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:25.400 What wide receivers. It's a little it's a little evisital 0:46:25.480 --> 0:46:29.360 right now. And Dalton Schultz has consistently been the woob 0:46:29.360 --> 0:46:32.200 bee and I respect that. And he's going to continue 0:46:32.200 --> 0:46:34.759 to be the woobe because Cooper Rush is going to 0:46:34.800 --> 0:46:37.200 need a big target to help him get through these 0:46:37.239 --> 0:46:37.800 couple of games. 0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:40.200 You need a guy needed to be a bigger woo 0:46:40.200 --> 0:46:40.879 Be last night. 0:46:40.880 --> 0:46:43.120 Will Be, I still had my woodby. I kept it. 0:46:45.360 --> 0:46:45.520 Am. 0:46:45.520 --> 0:46:46.759 I the only one that doesn't know what. 0:46:48.360 --> 0:46:50.720 I just disgusted talking about this team today. 0:46:50.760 --> 0:46:52.680 All I've like, literally, I'm just like, can we get 0:46:52.719 --> 0:46:53.480 can we get done with. 0:46:53.440 --> 0:46:55.279 The show, because that's how I feel about. Sorry, I 0:46:55.320 --> 0:46:58.040 know you guys are fine. People like, where's the optimism? 0:46:58.160 --> 0:46:58.440 James? 0:46:58.480 --> 0:47:01.440 Sorry, Uh, it's just it's rough. 0:47:01.840 --> 0:47:04.000 I've covered this, this will be now my tenth season. 0:47:04.040 --> 0:47:07.799 It's just it's all the same, Okay. Cowboys safety jay 0:47:07.880 --> 0:47:11.040 Ron Curse. I know people are curious about jury updates. 0:47:12.200 --> 0:47:13.840 That knee is going to give him problem. Looks like 0:47:13.880 --> 0:47:16.080 he's out. We'll see how long that is left. Guard 0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:18.919 Connor McGovern the ankle, he told me in the locker 0:47:19.000 --> 0:47:20.279 room he was in a boot. He said they were 0:47:20.600 --> 0:47:23.200 looking for more X rays to confirm how long it's 0:47:23.239 --> 0:47:24.719 going to be. It seems like it was the same 0:47:24.760 --> 0:47:27.359 one that gave him problems last time. And Stephen Jones 0:47:27.400 --> 0:47:29.759 said today about a month, month and a half and 0:47:29.800 --> 0:47:32.319 we're still waiting on Toreal BASHAM News Mike McCarthy didn't 0:47:32.360 --> 0:47:34.080 have an update on him that looked painfully. 0:47:34.080 --> 0:47:36.440 It looks as he was coming off the field. 0:47:37.760 --> 0:47:40.839 So as we wrap up this show, Mike McCarthy said 0:47:40.840 --> 0:47:44.439 that the mantra this year is resilience, told the fans 0:47:44.440 --> 0:47:47.480 stick to the journey, keep believing in us. We need 0:47:47.520 --> 0:47:50.719 to perform better. I need to perform better. I will 0:47:50.760 --> 0:47:53.279 perform better on a Wednesday after I've had a night 0:47:53.360 --> 0:47:56.319 of sleep, and we can look forward to the Bengals game, 0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:59.479 which saw an epic collapse of their own last weekend 0:47:59.480 --> 0:48:01.839 against the Dealers. But guys, for all of you who 0:48:01.840 --> 0:48:04.920 have tuned in and listened, we look forward to chatting. 0:48:04.680 --> 0:48:07.560 With you tomorrow.
