This is Girls Talk, 3 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: Boys Talk, presented by Jigsaw Dating, Preferred Dating partner of 4 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys and broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World 5 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: Headquarters at the Star. Hey everyone, it's Jane Slater back 6 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: in the hosting seat. I don't know if we've set 7 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: the table for you guys a little bit, but we 8 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: are sort of doing a rotating chair as I alluded 9 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: to some of the family stuff that I'm dealing with. 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: So thank you girls for stepping up. I love that 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: we've got so many awesome women that are part of 12 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: this show now that can step in here, and that 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: we've got such a loyal following already, so we appreciate 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: you for that. Loyal fans and Dak Prescott, I think 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: we've all been excited to see him make his return. 16 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: Not as optimistic as the four weekdo that Jerry would 17 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: have had us to have believed. Initially, it was six 18 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: weeks and it seems like everything is trending in the 19 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: right direction. I was so bullish about it that on 20 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: NFL Network I said I'd be surprised if he's not 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: dressing out in an under center on Sunday today. The 22 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: news from Mike McCarthy, though, that gives us that confidence 23 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: is the fact that he has been medically cleared for 24 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: that fracture in his right thumb. That is good news. 25 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: And I got to tell you, Hayley, you're in the 26 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: locker room listening to rookie Jake Ferguson, and I even 27 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: pulled Simmi Fioko and Noah Brown off to the side 28 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: and asked them about the zip on the ball. They 29 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: said it's there. And I loved the SoundBite from Jake Ferguson. 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: He said, I had a thumb injury and I couldn't 31 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: even grip a cup. So that's what's so remarkable about Yeah, 32 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: that's what's so remarkable about what Dak Prescott's been able 33 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: to do just six weeks now removed after jamming that 34 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: hand at a shack Barrett's helmet not once but twice 35 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: in week one. What are you most excited to see 36 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: from him? Although we didn't get to see a lot 37 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: of this today, ladies, because they had a walk through, 38 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: but it was my mccarthur. You told us that they 39 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: went through a mock practice about a seventy play mock game, 40 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: not mock practice, mock game, and then you would throw 41 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: about forty to fifty balls just perimeter players and then 42 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: expect to be a full participant on Thursday. What's the 43 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: one thing that you need to see in practice on 44 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: Thursday from him? Uh? Wait, Oh sorry, I'm sorry. I 45 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: was trying to have bad from him. I mean, I 46 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: just I guess I just want to see him get 47 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: in the flow of things. Um, see how comfortable he 48 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: looks back there. It looked like he looked fine under center, 49 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: you know, doing some of the things before the game. 50 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: So I don't know if he's comfortable. I'm comfortable. I 51 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: just want to see how he flows back into the 52 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: offense at this point. Yeah, I'm definitely just interested to 53 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: see how he impacts the other players around him. I know, 54 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: with Cooper Rush, the narrative has been you know how 55 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: consistent Cooper was. But I think consistency can get a 56 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: little dull at times. And the thing that stood out 57 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: about this offense last year was their ability to put 58 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: points on the board, their ability to be creative in 59 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: that way. So less about you know what I'm excited 60 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: about Dak to do more so what he's going to 61 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: allow for the players around him to do. Yeah, and 62 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: we talked about this yesterday. I'm excited to see that 63 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: foundation finally built for what this Cowboy's offense is going 64 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: to be their starting point with their starting quarterback coming 65 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: in and then from their growing to see what they 66 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: can be. I'm also excited to see where he is 67 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: mentally after being on the sidelines and talking about seeing 68 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: this game from a different perspective again, I'm excited to 69 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: see how he hones that in how he channels that 70 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: when he's playing, and expect all good things from QP one. Well, Listen, 71 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone in that locker room wanted Cooper 72 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: Rush to have the game that he did against the Eagles, 73 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: and to his credit, to come back in the second 74 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: half the way that he did. I thought was a 75 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: strong performance not only from him, but you know, from 76 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: this offense as a whole. But it certainly helps Dak 77 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: coming back, right because if Cooper Rush had gone on 78 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: the road against that Eagles team, who we have now 79 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: seen as a bona fide threat in the NFC East, 80 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: I think it would have made this thing a little 81 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: bit more delicate as he came back. In other words, 82 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: a very small margin of era afforded to him. I 83 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: respect that Mike McCarthy too. You know, last week there 84 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: was a little bit of playing coy, a little bit 85 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: of gamesmanship. We only saw him throwing with the left hand, 86 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: and the parts of practice that he was through. We 87 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: didn't get a game, and he shows up as questionable 88 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: on their practice report. I get that. But that's why 89 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: I think Thursday is going to be so meaningful for 90 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: all of us, because again listening to these guys, these 91 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: guys told me if he wanted to play last week, 92 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: and a lot of them thought that he could, that 93 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: he would have been out their own Sunday. So I 94 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: think this was an abundance of caution. But you're also 95 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: doing it against a team who's only win this season 96 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: comes the Washington Commanders. In week two. We're talking about 97 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: a one in four Detroit Lions team, which we'll get 98 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: into after our first break. And it's a game at 99 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: home and Dak plays really really well at home offensively, though, 100 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: how different do you think this offense is from week one? 101 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: Starting with me, I'll just say they didn't have two 102 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: tight ends that they could rely on. I mean, Jake 103 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: Ferguson and Peyton hender Shot are doing some special stuff 104 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: out there, and Mike McCarthy has always wanted to employ 105 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: the two tight ends set, and I feel like you 106 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: now have the guys do that now. We were talking 107 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: about this before the show What's up with Dalton Schultz? 108 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: We didn't get an update today, so that's my fault 109 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: and the beat for not asking. I sent out a 110 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: tech so hopefully I'll have some sort of update for you. 111 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: But just seeing the running game get going, you know, 112 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: we talked about this a couple weeks ago. Dak went 113 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: on record and say the game has slowed down for 114 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: him a little bit. They need to simplify things, which 115 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: is interesting because you're hearing Aaron Rodgers say that now 116 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: also in Green Bay. But I think sometimes a play 117 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: calling was a little too cute, and I think Dak 118 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: was trying to do too much. But when he has 119 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: those gaudy numbers, they don't translate into wins. So how 120 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: do you anticipate this offense rolling with Dak back under center? Aisha? So, 121 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean, we heard from Kellen Moore the other day 122 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: and also from Mike McCarthy talking about you know, they 123 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: don't expect any changes to what they do offensively, and honestly, 124 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: if you look at if you I mean if you 125 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: look at the games and look at them in detail, 126 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: there are so many opportunities there for these receivers. They're 127 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: they're scheming these guys open. So I guess I'll piggyback 128 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: off of what Hailey said earlier is that I think 129 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: there's going to be more opportunity for these players to 130 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: make plays that maybe we're there, you know, this first 131 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but haven't been there. And then also too, 132 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: I mentioned it yesterday. I think it's important that he's 133 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: coming back to an offensive line that is starting to 134 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: communicate better, starting to jail better. Guys have been in 135 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: their spots for a while. We're still trying to see 136 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: what's going to happen at you know, Left Guard or 137 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: whatever with Jason Peters, but for now a governor has 138 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: come back in and he's settled in well, So that 139 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: was brought up, like, I think they communicated really well 140 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: last week despite all the craziness, and I just think 141 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: that's going to be important for him to come and 142 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: settle in and for this run game to be going. Yeah, 143 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: I think that something that I've kind of attached myself 144 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: to is this idea of mojo that everybody talks about. 145 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: Jerry talked about the mojo with Cooper and keeping him 146 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: in versus playing Dak too early. To me, I think 147 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: the mojo is more of, you know, what's going to 148 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: help this offense play better and look better. And I 149 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: think statistically it's Dak Prescott, you know. And it's no 150 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: shade to Cooper Rush. I think he did what he 151 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: did and that's fine. I'd helped the Cowboys be in 152 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: a better position. But when you talk about Dak and 153 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: the things that he's able to do, just some reading 154 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: I did earlier. The last time they played the Lions, 155 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: he had a single game high of four hundred and 156 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: forty four yards back in twenty nineteen. He's never lost 157 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: to Detroit as a starter, So it kind of to 158 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: me this sets the tone for a game for him 159 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: that's really gonna you know, Number one, put everybody back 160 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: on notice. Like I heard what y'all were saying about 161 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: me here, I am. But also I think when you 162 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: put up those kind of numbers, when you have that 163 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: in your future, I thought that was someone's phone. But 164 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,559 Speaker 1: you know, when you have that again, it just makes 165 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: everyone around you play better. You're more comfortable with this 166 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: guy who did most of the reps during training camp 167 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: with you. It's what you're comfortable with. I think that 168 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: Dak that while the offense maybe doesn't change, the play 169 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: calling maybe doesn't change, but maybe the energy around and 170 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: the players around kind of get that spark back. And 171 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: you heard it with guys today, Layton vander esh talked 172 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: about what an asset it is to have Dak Prescott 173 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: on your sideline, let alone behind center. So I just 174 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: think it's going to bring a lot of energy, a 175 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: lot of excitement, especially given the work that Cooper Rush 176 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: has done over the last couple of weeks. And you 177 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: know what that reminds me of a Dak's first game 178 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: back after the ankle injury, the Bucks game last season. 179 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: The commoderie was just huge. I mean it wasn't even 180 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: a home game, and it was I remember I was 181 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: at the watch party at eighteen T Stadium. There were 182 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: people crying when Dak came out on the field on 183 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: the screen. I mean, but it's I can't even imagine 184 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: his return at a home game, so again, it's not 185 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: a series of an injury, as his ankle was, but 186 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: the fact that he's been out, the fan base has 187 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: had time to gain their appreciation back for Dak Prescott 188 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: is going to lead to a very good home field advantage, 189 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: I think for Dak. And not only that, but to 190 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: Ayisha's point earlier, you look at the wide receiver group 191 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: and how different it is from the last time Dak played. 192 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: During the Bucks game. The receivers he had Noah Brown, 193 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz, Ceede Lamb, Dennis Houston, Tony Pollard, Semi Fioko, 194 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: and of course Zeke acted as a receiver there for 195 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: a little bit during that game. Last week, you have 196 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: a much different receiver corps here. You have Ceedee Lamb, 197 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson, Payton Hendershot, Michael Gallup, Noah Brown, Sean McEwen, 198 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, Zeke Elliott, and Kavante Turpin. So I think 199 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: again it goes back to you get to see an 200 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: established offense and you get to see an O line 201 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: that has had weeks to gel and get those rookie 202 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: mistakes out. If you will to give Dak that protection 203 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: to get that play action, going to give him the 204 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: time to make the decisions and to get that ball 205 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: zipped out and of course give him the protections so 206 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: that way no more injuries happened. While it looks like 207 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: James Washington is getting closer and closer, but I gotta 208 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: tell y'all, I don't know what to expect from him. 209 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: It's not like he had a big year with the 210 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: Steelers and we didn't see much in training camp. Yeah. 211 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: So while I think it gives you options on offense, 212 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm sitting here going he's going 213 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: to be a difference maker. I keep wanting to see 214 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: Kavante Turpin utilized a little bit more in the middle 215 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: of the field. Why are we not seeing that? I 216 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: have no idea why that's not happening. Uh, he's got 217 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: speed from us, from us, Like I mean, I think 218 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: the rest of the community feels that way, because I mean, 219 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: teams wish they had a guy to take the top 220 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: off like he can. Um. I wonder, like I said, 221 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: this is something we maybe we don't consider. He is, 222 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, new to the NFL. He is technically a 223 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: rookie in the NFL, So maybe this gentleman is still learning, 224 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: you know, the wide receiver position because he is a 225 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: special He said it multiple times, like you know, I'm 226 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: a specialist, you know, So I'm wondering if maybe that 227 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: has anything to do with it. But he's also said 228 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: multiple time to be a receiver, I mean, talk to 229 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,599 Speaker 1: folks at TCU. He's very capable. Yeah, and there's instances, 230 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: there's instances where he had he's on film on like 231 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: as a receiver option. It's and maybe you see that, 232 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: like we just talked about, maybe maybe we see him 233 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: get those opportunities now that Dak is under Sinner and 234 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: then maybe they try to go down the field more. 235 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, go ahead. So I thought you were done. 236 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry there it is. Sorry my mic was off. 237 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: I didn't mean to cut you off. I thought you 238 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: were done. I was just gonna say, uh, going off 239 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: of those same lines. A couple weeks ago, I think 240 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: Mike was asked about that, why why are we not 241 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: utilizing Kavante Turbine because you see the difference maker he 242 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: is on special teams. Maybe you integrat grate that into 243 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: the offense and that changes, you know, your offensive outlook. 244 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: And Mike just kind of said, look like we're doing 245 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: the best we can with what we've got right now, 246 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: what we've got is Cooper rush. And he even talked 247 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: about the plays were designed to keep Cooper protected. I 248 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: think that's why he went so long without throwing an interception, 249 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: without being sacked as often maybe as he was as 250 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: the stretch went on. So again, I think bringing Dak 251 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: back allows you to maybe play with something a little 252 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: bit more creatively like that, because Dak's a guy that 253 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: can hit those balls. So if Cavane is going to 254 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: make those quick routes and get down the field, Dak's 255 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: going to be a guy who can see that laser 256 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: in on that and make the pass. I also love 257 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: that you make my segways so easy because you're talking 258 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: about creativity here, and I know it's two different situations, 259 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: but you had Jason Peters and Tyler Smith, so you 260 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: had that veteran guy and the rookie guy, right. So 261 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: when you look at bringing James Washington in, I wonder 262 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: if when you can get creative when James Washington is healthy, 263 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: is you utilize him to kind of rotate and throw 264 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: more defenses off because James Washington does bring that veteran 265 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: leadership And I really learned this last week when I 266 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: was in the locker room talking to him, because i 267 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: Usha and I were sitting there talking to him and 268 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: Jaylen Tilbert and we were like, hey, are you ready 269 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: for the Eagles game? To Jayalen, He's like yeah because 270 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: of this guy, which was James Washington right next to him, 271 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: who wasn't even playing. So I think that's very special 272 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: and very overlooked for James Washington is he brings that 273 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: veteran leadership to the younger guys that a lot of 274 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: them are still rookies. So I think James Washington can 275 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: be utilized in this offense. I'm just not sure to 276 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: what extent. Yeah, just to give some context really quick 277 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: in regards to James James Washington, he told reporters today 278 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: it's all in trainer Britt Brown's hands ahead of Wednesday's practice. 279 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: He's the expert. So it sounds like a DAK situation 280 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: where like he's ready to play, but maybe he hasn't 281 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: been given that green lights as yet. Last thing, they're 282 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: trying to rush him back yet, right because they've got 283 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: You've got only so many guys that you can carry 284 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: on your roster on game day, and I don't think 285 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: he's I just don't think he's special enough to them 286 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: because of what we saw at camp for them to 287 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: rush him necessarily back. Yeah. And I'm not going to 288 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: sit up and app like yeah. I mean in camp 289 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: he definitely looked like he was he was, I think 290 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: more so out of shaping camp. So and I didn't 291 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: understand what they were going to do with him there. 292 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: But at this point also too, I think something that 293 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: is underrated is like we didn't expect for Noah Brown 294 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: to just come out law them like he did. So yeah, 295 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not sure. I'm also not exactly. I'm 296 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: also not sure if we expect it for Michael Gallup 297 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: to be back. I mean, I think people did expect 298 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: for him to be back, but I don't know. Three 299 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: games into it and then he's coming along and Dak's 300 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: going to be here. So they've got as much as 301 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: Cooper and Noah I had that chemistry. The Michael Dad 302 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: chemistry is outstanding so good. I should have said that earlier. 303 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: That's the thing I'm looking for. Ye. So, and when 304 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: you talk about James Wash, that's really to me what 305 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: he's He's a lot like Michael Gallup, big body, physical Um, 306 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: he has some verticality to him, but at the same time, 307 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: like they're a lot of the same guy and what 308 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: they do. So I do think that there may be 309 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: a conflict of interest there when you're talking about who's 310 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: going to be on the field as opposed to who's 311 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: going to be you know. I also don't think before 312 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: he got injured that there was enough to see from 313 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: him to see how he could gel with this offense 314 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: because the Steelers well, because really back then you look 315 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: at the offense as a whole, and the conversation was 316 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: so much different. During training camp it was Amari's gone, 317 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: sky is falling. Oh no, nobody had faith within the 318 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: w Wide Receiver Corps. The conversations were so much different 319 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: to where when when James Washington got brought in, it 320 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: was like, oh my goodness, everything is going to be okay. 321 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: There's a veteran here. But really what you've seen is 322 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: obviously you've seen the younger guys step up, but I 323 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: really don't know, um, you know, how much of his 324 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: veteran presence has helped these younger guys as well. And 325 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: those are conversations you know, we're not part of. We 326 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: don't get to see, but I do know hearing how 327 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: he was talking to Jalen and the things that Jalen 328 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: was saying. Oh yeah, this guy right here, he's preparing 329 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: me right now. I mean that was that was kind 330 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: of cool to see because I feel like that was 331 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: it was a real brotherhood moment.

For more information, please visit 383 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco dot com. Thank you, Jess. All right, Well, 384 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: the big news of the day, of course, Dak Prescott 385 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: medically cleared to be a full participant in practice today, 386 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: just a walkthrough, so we didn't get our eyeballs on him. 387 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: That will happen on Thursday. We'll also talk to him 388 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: outside the locker room as well to see how he felt. 389 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: But he was anticipated to go through a seventy seventy 390 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: play mock game with the team and then throw about 391 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: forty to fifty balls to his perimeter players after practice, 392 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: So I think the big thing is going to be 393 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: how does he fill after the practice? Was he sore 394 00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: last week? We talked. He was a little bit sore 395 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: after that initial practice, as was to be expected, but 396 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: I think once we saw him on the road going 397 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: through that warm up listed as questionable, felt like all 398 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: systems were go. When Dek Prescott is your starting quarterback 399 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: going back to twenty twenty one, he ranks top five 400 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: and completion percentage, passing, touchdowns to interception ratio, and a 401 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: passer rating since twenty twenty one. Pretty impressive stuff from 402 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: that prescotting on the field. That's why the fake quarterback 403 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: controversy was always quite interesting to me. The Dallas offense 404 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: averages almost ten more points per game with Prescott than 405 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: rush since twenty twenty one. Before we took our first break, 406 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: I did have a question for you ladies, how much 407 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: confidence do you have in this wide receiver's room now? 408 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: Week one, I think it was tough to get a 409 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: read on this offense, and I think where I'm going 410 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: with this argument is it's TBD. I still don't know 411 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: what to expect from this offense. I mean, for the 412 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: most part, this Dallas defense has really kept these guys 413 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: in the game, which has a lot to do with 414 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: their foreign two record. I think what you really had 415 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: was a good bus driver and Cooper Rush, but we 416 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: weren't seeing Gatti's stats. We weren't seeing circus catches. But 417 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: you also didn't have a full compliment of receivers. When 418 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: Dack started in week one, he was throwing into a 419 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: lot of tight windows, particularly because you had Ceedee Lamb 420 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: getting double and sometimes triple coverage. You didn't have a 421 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: guy like Michael Gallup on the field, and we certainly 422 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: didn't see these two tight ends and the rookies who 423 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: I've just been so impressed by, with Peyton Henter shot 424 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: and of course Jake Ferguson. So I shall start with 425 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: you. You You watch a lot of the tape, do you 426 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: think teams are respecting these wide receivers and is this 427 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: a wide receiver room right now as you see it 428 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: that demands the respect of opposing defenses? Can I go next? 429 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm gathering though, Yeah, all right, honest, sorry, Yeah, I 430 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: think a lot of what we've been talking about. I 431 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: just think it's so challenging when your general is not 432 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: on the battlefield with you. You know, like we talk 433 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: all the time about you know, your backup quarterback should 434 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: be able to in theory form the way you're starting 435 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: quarterback does. Maybe not to the same caliber, but you 436 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: know it's the same play as the same playbook. Blah 437 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: blah blah. But there's something to be said about not 438 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: only a rapport on the field, but a relationship that 439 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: you have with that person. And I think what Cooper 440 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: Rush really lacked over the last couple of weeks is 441 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: that relationship. And like, don't get it twisted. These guys 442 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: have the utmost respect for what Cooper does, what Cooper 443 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: has done, and who he is as a person, but 444 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: he's not their homeboy, you know what I mean. Like 445 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: they're not flocking to Cooper's locker, you know, dabbing him 446 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: up and asking how his day's going. They're respectful there, 447 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: you know he's their teammate, but you just see the 448 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: difference in how they are with Dak And as a 449 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: former athlete, you know that that makes a big difference. 450 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: You know, you're you play better with the people you're 451 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: closest with. And so I'm rambling at this point, but 452 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: to me, we haven't seen the best out of these 453 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: receivers because they haven't seen the best out of their quarterback. 454 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: So when it comes to demanding respect, I don't necessarily 455 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 1: think at the minute they're demanding that only because they 456 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: haven't been afforded those opportunities to show who they are. 457 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: Like CD is still CD. He's still averaging about ten 458 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: yards after the catch, which is impressive, Michael Gallup being 459 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: able to do the toe drag swag. You know that 460 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: we're so accustomed to seeing or being the vertical threat 461 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: that we're so used to seeing, even Noah Brown. Um. 462 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: So I think as time goes on, hopefully we see 463 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: glimpses of it on Sunday and could eventually build on it. 464 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: But that's just kind of my take now and to 465 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: your point now that I can an, Oh my god, 466 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: thank you guys, but no, like that's I think that 467 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: is something I will say that I have seen on 468 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: films that you see eight nine man boxes like they're 469 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: they're loading the box to stop the run because they 470 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 1: didn't think that Cooper Rush could beat them with their arm. 471 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: And that's actually what a lot of defenses did. And 472 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: more importantly, you could see that they knew they knew 473 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush's defensive deficiencies, and I think that also closed 474 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: the playbook and some of the things they were able 475 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: to do. To Hayley's point, I do think that they're 476 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: I think that guys do play more motivated. They fight 477 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: back to the ball. They like it's they're a little 478 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: bit more vicious getting through blocks and stuff like that 479 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: when you know your quarterback is going to be able 480 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: to get that ball there. So I'll see, I'll see. 481 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: With Ceedee Lamb particularly, I think that I think sometimes 482 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: we're a bit unfair with what he has done in 483 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: his early years, given what he has dealt with UM 484 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: coaching wise, we talked about him having a wide receiver. 485 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: Coach changed during this time. Henry was big. He was 486 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: ob j and Jarvis Landry's coach at I think I 487 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: think you know, Quiet has kept it and CD will 488 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: tell you that he learned a lot from Amari Cooper 489 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: while he was there, while he was here, So I 490 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: feel like this is the time for us to see 491 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: what's up, Like I think the point I mean, and 492 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: I feel that, and like I feel that, but I 493 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: want us like to be fair about like where he 494 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: is as a player. I think a lot there's a 495 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: lot of factors that have played into this offense not 496 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: being not playing well, and a lot of that was 497 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: offensive line, some of that was QB being injured, some 498 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: of that was coaching changes. So a lot of these 499 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: guys development is within this year and we're trying to 500 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: see what they can do with it. Also, I think 501 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: when you know when you have your starting quarterback out 502 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 1: for the start of the season. And this is no 503 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: hate to Cooper Rush. We all have given him his 504 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: flowers and we appreciate everything he's done. I just want 505 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: to say that. But I feel like these guys are 506 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: going to play a little bit harder, a little bit better, 507 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: a little bit faster, a little bit more aware with 508 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: dak In and knowing especially he may not be he 509 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: may be a little more fragile. This week than than 510 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: most coming off of an injury is most people would 511 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: be I mean, that's that's the human body. But I 512 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: feel like they have something else to play for. Not 513 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: only did they just get off of a loss to 514 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: the Eagles, which look, everyone can sit there and say 515 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: it's just another game and the grand scheme of things, Yes, 516 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: but it's the Eagles. You don't no guy in that 517 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: locker room wanted to lose any game, much less to 518 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: the Eagles. Away. I mean, let's be honest, they have 519 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: redemption to prove now, because now the conversation shifted from oh, 520 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 1: you know, this team is a major threat, are they 521 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: one of the best in the NFC, to oh, well, 522 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: look at all the flags that they got thrown out, 523 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: and oh you know, the conversation switched this week, and 524 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: I know, if anything about this team after hearing Dan 525 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: Quinn in the press conference, after hearing Mike McCarthy, they 526 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: were upset. So I think not only does this team 527 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: not get the respect that they deserve most of the time, 528 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: but I think they have a little bit more fight 529 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: in them. After a loss and then knowing that Dak 530 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: is coming back off of an injury, you're going to 531 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: fight a little bit harder to protect him than you 532 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: normally would. I mean those that oh line is not 533 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: going to let anybody touch Dak. I can almost guarantee 534 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: they are going to fight. And we'll get into the 535 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: stats of the Lions and why. I think that's going 536 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: to be a little bit of an easier task this 537 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: week for them to not get any pressure on Dak. 538 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: But I also think that when you're looking at the 539 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, Dak uses his legs more. Dak 540 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: is a little bit more mobile, So we might not 541 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: see that at first, might seem a little bit more 542 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 1: of a conservative approach at first, but Dak eventually is 543 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: going to be more mobile. And like I said, when 544 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: this offense can gel with Dak in, it's going to 545 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: be a much different offense than what we saw this week, 546 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: even compared to like two three weeks from now. I 547 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: just have to wonder if they start going back to 548 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: their roots. In other words, if it ain't broke, don't 549 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: fix it. And when we look at that rookie season 550 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: of Dak, Prescott's yes, he did use his legs, got 551 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: more open. We saw more of like a Jalen Hurts 552 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: at times. His rookie season. But also if they're loading 553 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: the box because they don't respect his arm of Cooper's, 554 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: they do respect the arm of Dak Prescott. Is that 555 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: going to open up your running game a little bit 556 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: more this week? And does that simplify the offense a 557 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: little bit for him as he's coming back? Absolutely, man, 558 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now you can run the ball. 559 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: It changes everything for your offense. And quite honestly, if 560 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: you look at last year that was pretty much the 561 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: culprit of the problem. Is that the Cowboys offensive line 562 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: really struggled last year. And when the Cowboys cannot run 563 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: the ball, Okay, we're gonna drop sixty b's and coverage 564 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: and you I'm gonna see what you do with a day. Yeah. 565 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: But now if you don't, if you don't come stop 566 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 1: this run, we're gonna gash you every time. And not 567 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: even not only just gash you tp going for fifty two, 568 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, so, I think, and also too, you talked 569 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: about you know, the tight ends. I think it's we've 570 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: harped on it, but it is so important this twelve 571 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: personnel and what they want to do blocking wise, to 572 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: open up the pass, open up I mean, you see 573 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: it all the time with like Travis Kelsey. I mean, yeah, 574 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: you see it all the time, Like he'll act like 575 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: he's blocking and then roll to the end zone. Those 576 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: are things that actually that's what Fird did, Like, those 577 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: are things that you can do when you establish the 578 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: run and you actually have an offense that's willing to 579 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: run downhill at people. The Cowboys told us that they 580 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: wanted to get back to running the ball, and they 581 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: really do have an offensive line that is cool with 582 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: going downhill and malling guys and really physically demanding their 583 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 1: like demanding that you respect what they do. So I'm 584 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: excited to see. I mean, we've seen how the play 585 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: action has helped out this offense as well. For Cooper Rush. 586 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: He's one of the best in the NFL on play 587 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: action because hey, they actually can run the ball this year. 588 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: So I think that all the way around is going 589 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: to pay dividends for Dak to come in and be 590 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: more comfortable because he doesn't have to do it all 591 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: by himself. So many times last year I felt like 592 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: he felt like I can't get in, Like, no, the 593 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: run game's not working, let me force this pass in here, 594 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: let me do this. But now, but they would sort 595 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: of move away from it. That's what it's like. I 596 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: felt like this year it's a little bit more balanced 597 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: and they are sticking with the run, and you know, 598 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: you're wearing these opposing teams down because you can't have 599 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: your defense out there as long as you've had them 600 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: at times. I mean right now, they've sort of we 601 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: at least saw during the you know, the four game 602 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: win streak with Cooba Rush, they were bending, not breaking, 603 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,959 Speaker 1: and then we finally saw its sort of gas him 604 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: because what the Eagles had that what fifteen play drive? 605 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but they yeah, but they like I 606 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: talked about yesterday, they were like they started at their 607 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: forty six like they started in Cowboys. UM tear tory, 608 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: I want to say four times so quite honestly, like 609 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: I think that's difficult for any defense to get through, 610 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: and I think they helped them to two field ghost 611 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: during that time. Anyway, I think this Cooper was just 612 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: trying to throw turnovers. Last well, it's so weird this 613 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: guy had not thrown a pick yet. It's the pressure. 614 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: I mean he almost had four and that's the game. 615 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: It's the pressure. It was a lot of the pressure. 616 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: Um also to uh there were a couple he got pressured, 617 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: he got hit on a couple of the like one 618 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: of those picks as well. So I think, um, yeah, 619 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: I think that. I think that this run game and 620 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: all the way around is going to help what Death 621 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: wants to do and integrating him back into this offense. 622 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: I just feel like the team that we saw against 623 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: the Eagles were very The team as a whole was 624 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: very uncharacteristic. So you're talking Coopershure, we don't usually see that, No, 625 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: we don't, but we also don't usually see as many 626 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: well here we go penalties again, but just the My 627 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: point is is the lack of discipline with that, and 628 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: that's what it really showed is you don't usually see 629 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: that on a dan Quinn defense. And um, I think 630 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: it was frustration and like we talked about, you know, 631 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: you can't let those things cost you the game essentially. 632 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: But something that I did want to know is that 633 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: the Lions defense actually ranks the last in the NFL 634 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: right now, And so I think if we're going to 635 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: see the offense the Cowboys offense play their best, this 636 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: is their best opportunity to really show, hey, we can 637 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: protect our quarterback. Hey, let's get we got our bad 638 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: week out last week. Let's move forward and let's play 639 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: our best. I think this is the best game Dat 640 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: could have come back for when you look at the 641 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: statistics and the Lions, Yeah, this is a defensively, this 642 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: team just seems like they are just a little all 643 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: over the place. I think they're still I know they 644 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: have new coaches in there. It looks like schematically, a 645 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: lot of guys are confused a lot of the time. 646 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: A lot of guys are at a position they don't 647 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: particularly tackle well, they don't get pressure well. It's it 648 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: was hard, like it was actually really hard to see them, 649 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: especially when their offense can get points like their offense, 650 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: like the Lions offense has the ability to be explosive. 651 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: But this defense can't stop much of anything right now. 652 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think this will be a week where 653 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys can maybe build some confidence. You talk about 654 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: Dak getting back in there, getting reintegrated into the offense. 655 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: I think this is a week where if you want 656 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: to build confidence in your offense moving forward, it's a 657 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: good way to start. It's a reset. Yeah. And and 658 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: the Lions also battling a lot of injuries right now, 659 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: which we will get into after we take our second 660 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: and final break, but I did want to just have 661 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: one note. I don't know if you guys saw Tom 662 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: Brady's just melt down with his offensive line after missing, 663 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, the walkthrough on Starday to go to Robert 664 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: cross wedding. I think it when you talk about the 665 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: respect that this team has for Dak Prescott, Dak would 666 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: never talk to his offensive line like that, or any 667 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: player for that matter, and I think you respect people 668 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: that respect you back. So it'll be interesting to see 669 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: how that thing. I mean, look, tom Brady's got six rings, 670 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: he's the goat, I get it, but no one wants 671 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: to be talked to you, no matter who you are 672 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: or what you've done in your career, especially millennials. I 673 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: feel like millennials, right, there's also so many veterans like yeah. 674 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: So it's like I think, I think the Cowboys are 675 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: really fortunate to get a guy like Dak Prescott because 676 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: I do think even just seeing him on the sidelines, 677 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: you talk to any of these guys, the fact that 678 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: he was on the sidelines, the fact that he was 679 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: rehabbing around the facility, the fact that he was literally 680 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: what was it last week? I told you one of 681 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: the guys said, he's out there, is Michael Gallup. He's 682 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: like he's getting us water bottles. Yeah, he's just present, right, 683 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: But there's no job too big or too small for 684 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: Dakin that goes and when even we saw him on 685 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: the on the sidelines. So that first game that he 686 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: got injured against the Bengals, I literally sent a text 687 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,719 Speaker 1: to Bobby Belt, who obviously works for one to five 688 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: through the Fan as my producer and NFL Network. I said, 689 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: they're going to do it for Dak and they damn 690 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: sure did. All right. Like I said, we're gonna take 691 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: our second and final break.

So thank very good stuff there, all right. Well, 744 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: I know a lot of fans are always keen to 745 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: know what the health of the roster looks like. So 746 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: Haley got a little update for us I do. We 747 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: just got this sent a few minutes ago. So the 748 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: big thing on their DAK Prescott listed his full Dalton 749 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: Show so we spoke about earlier, was a full participant 750 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: today as well as Quinton Neville, Gallimore, Devin Harper, Jason Peters, 751 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb kind of the only asterisk there where he 752 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 1: was limited today with a hip injury. Mike McCarthy did 753 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 1: tell us earlier that Terrell Basham is pretty close to practicing. 754 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: He should be back on Wednesday to open his twenty 755 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 1: one day window. And then Damon Clark looking pretty good 756 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: as well, so we could see the return of him 757 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: pretty soon. And I also want to mention I love 758 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: scrolling down on these. The Detroit Lions injury report is lengthy. 759 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: So the ones that stand out to me right now 760 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: DJ Chark, who's been having issues with that ankle, he 761 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: did not practice, DeAndre Swift was limited, and they've just 762 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: got a slew. I think it's about seven players who 763 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: did not practice today. So something to keep an eye 764 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: out on moving forward in the week. Thank you, Haley. 765 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,399 Speaker 1: All Right, Well, Mike McCarthy was asked about this one 766 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 1: in four team that's coming to AT and T Stadium 767 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: off of their bye week. Their only win this season, 768 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: as I said earlier in the show back on September eighteenth, 769 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: against the Watchington Commanders of thirty six to twenty seven. 770 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,800 Speaker 1: Game real lopsided this year for the short Lions. I 771 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: expected more from Dan Campbell. I also think it's the 772 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: HBO Hard Knocks curse. I tend to really bite these guys, 773 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's like they're sort of lacking the fight 774 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: that you expected from Dan. And I don't know if 775 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,919 Speaker 1: you guys watched Hard Knocks, but you expected so much more. 776 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: But still, Mike was asked, you know, do you view 777 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: this as a track game because we're all sitting here 778 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: going and we'll get into some of the stats. This 779 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 1: is a game the Cowboys should easily when you've got 780 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,839 Speaker 1: dacked back and you've got a full compliment of your receivers, 781 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: you've got guys on defense that are playing great. But 782 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: he said, this is what he calls an uncommon opponent. 783 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: In other words, they haven't played him since twenty nineteen. 784 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: Reference the fact there's only six holdovers from that team, 785 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: and that's why it was so important as self scout. 786 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: You know, we I think it was interesting last year 787 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: we asked Ezekiel Ellio about self scouting, which is so 788 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: big for Mike McCarthy. He hands them their tapes. He 789 00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,919 Speaker 1: wants them to say, what tells are you giving away? 790 00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: In other words, are you touching your hand towel at 791 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: a certain time or do you touch your helmet at 792 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: a certain time? Like what are your tells that guys 793 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: are seeing on tape? And he even said, because today's 794 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 1: schedule was really weird, it was a Sunday night game. 795 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 1: They got back late, right, but today was a walkthrough. 796 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: We got Mike McCarthy at three verses to thirty and 797 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: he said that's because they wanted more time with the tape. 798 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: The coaches wanted to be prepared on the front end. 799 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: And so when we look at this opponent, you know, 800 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: we've already talked about some of their injuries, are you 801 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: shore what stands at what could be a trap for them? 802 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: What could trip Dallas up as we look to this 803 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: Sunday game. Okay, so I watched a couple of games. 804 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: It was a struggle having to watch Philly, having to 805 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: watch Philly again willingly against the lines, it hurt me. 806 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: But uh, I watched obviously, I watched the game last 807 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 1: week with the Patriots because I was just like they 808 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: pished a shut out, you know, so I wanted to 809 00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 1: see what they did in particular, and it truly I 810 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,439 Speaker 1: think it's it's a'man Saint Brown. He is a very 811 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: big part of what they do offensively in the passing game, 812 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: and essentially if you can take him away to some degree, 813 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: it kind of falls apart. It kind of really falls apart. 814 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: And then when you start looking at um, would you 815 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: say his name's chalk j. Yeah, he is, like he's 816 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,720 Speaker 1: intricate to what they do because he can make splash plays. 817 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,439 Speaker 1: But they really are run first team. So also too, 818 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: I mean, even though like we could sit up here 819 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: and be like, yeah, this is this could be an 820 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: easy game. This line's offensive line, they will block, they 821 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: will block. They do a lot of traps, counters, pools. 822 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: They're really trying to put your make your defense go 823 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: one way and they go the other way. So this 824 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: I also do think it's still a test for the 825 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: defense specifically to you know, hone in on the misdirection 826 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: and also be going up against another formidable offensive line. 827 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: Like the line's offensive line is one of the better 828 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 1: ones in the NFL. So absolutely Yeah, and Pena sue 829 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: like he's he's been like out coming in there. So 830 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: I just want to see Dickerson. I just want to 831 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: see how this defensive line fares. And then also we've 832 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: been talking about the run defense for the Cowboys for 833 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 1: a while. I want to see how they play as well. 834 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: So that maybe is a place to where I think 835 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: they could they could make something happen. Is but dependent 836 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: on DeAndre DeAndre Swift and seeing if he plays or not. 837 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 1: What's crazy is will we go back you know we 838 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: talk about this, uh this defense for the Lions in 839 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: case people forgot they took Penny Soul over Michael Parsons oh, 840 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,439 Speaker 1: I don't want to. Mica Parsons was sitting right there 841 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: for Detroit. In fact, you know, it's funny, Actually, Jane, 842 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,879 Speaker 1: will you find that I have a SoundBite from Dan 843 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: Campbell actually talking about that exact statement. So Jazzy, let's 844 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: roll that Micah Parsons SoundBite. I would say, necessarily surprised, 845 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: knowing the athlete that he isn't and was coming out 846 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: now there. It was a little bit exactly where do 847 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: you use him? How do you use him? Persue, because 848 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 1: there's um he did he did have a skill set 849 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,320 Speaker 1: that's well, do you put him on the edge and 850 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: let him rush a little? Or is he really a 851 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 1: stack backer? Is he a stack backer that blitz is 852 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,479 Speaker 1: do you you know, he's certainly athletic enough to cover. 853 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 1: I mean, so there's all these things. It's just honing 854 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: in on what he does best. And I think Dallas 855 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: has done you know, Dan Quinnon and done a you 856 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: know a great job with how they've used him. So 857 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 1: there again, he's a rare talent. You know, he's got 858 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: rare ability and uh and and he's he's dynamic now 859 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: off the edge, that's he can do multiple things. But 860 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: we're you know, you put him on the perimeter and 861 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: let him go. That's where he's he's uh, he really 862 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: really excels. So you had pinasul seventh overall, Michael Parsons 863 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: felled a twelfth and you're like, well, we just didn't 864 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: know what to do with them. He does so much well, 865 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: they asked, They asked, Dan, where are you surprised to 866 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: see how Mike has been performing? And that's really what 867 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: he said, and so, um, you know, back to your 868 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,760 Speaker 1: point two of He was asked about strength on strength 869 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: with the O line and then facing the Boys defense, 870 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 1: and he said that he wants to take advantage of 871 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: the areas that have not been hit yet on the 872 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense, he wants to exploit them and said that 873 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: the Lions goal will be to try and stay out 874 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: of third and seven plus down territory, to stay in 875 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 1: front of the sticks. So it starts with running the ball. 876 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: That's what he said. Both teams are bottom of the 877 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: league and third down efficiency. One thing about the Lions 878 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: that they just like the Eagles last week. If it's fourth, 879 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: if it's third, it's something fourth and once they going forward, 880 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: they are not scared. They are not scared going at 881 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, And I want to ask you that, do you, 882 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: ladies see since they I'm not saying they gave you 883 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,720 Speaker 1: the Broncos blueprint, right, but because they kept going after 884 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, do you see other opposing offenses trying to 885 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,959 Speaker 1: do the same yet? I can try, but it doesn't 886 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: mean they're going to be successful. I mean, like, what 887 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts does is very specific. What they do schematically 888 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: is very specific. It's not easily replicated. But more importantly, 889 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: I think that Mica is going to learn from it, 890 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 1: and he probably ain't gonna give you a chance to 891 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 1: even do that. No, moll, he probably gonna be like, 892 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,759 Speaker 1: you know what that's because actually that's what the lines 893 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: did a lot in this In the game against the Eagles. 894 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,959 Speaker 1: They didn't give him, they didn't give him the chance 895 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 1: to have the option. They just completely closed on him 896 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: and that was the end of it. So we'll see. 897 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: I think, uh, Like I said, I think the teach 898 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,879 Speaker 1: tape is good for Mica, but they did put him 899 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: in weird situations that he has not been in yet 900 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: and he's gonna have to learn from it. Well, I 901 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: was just gonna say sorry, I just feel like Mica 902 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 1: is a type of guy that got uh not embarrassed 903 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 1: on national television. But remember he's a Pennsylvania guy, and 904 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,399 Speaker 1: so the pitt fan base is I mean, the pen 905 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: fan base is huge going on the road, and he 906 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: just strikes me as that type of guy, like, fool 907 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: me once, don't he won't be fooled again. So I 908 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: think that that's what sort of stood out to me. 909 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: And to your point that offense is something else with 910 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 1: the Eagles, I think you also have to factor in 911 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 1: that Mica was not one hundred percent. I mean, as 912 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: much as he talked about, as much as he talked 913 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: about I'm being ready to go, you could just see it. 914 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 1: There was certain plays where he wanted to tackle any 915 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,359 Speaker 1: couldn't and he couldn't accelerate after the fact to chase 916 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: people down like what we've been so accustomed to seeing. 917 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 1: And I think that that kind of stuff is a 918 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,240 Speaker 1: learning experience for him as well. You know, as these athletes, 919 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:12,879 Speaker 1: they want to push themselves, they want to be able 920 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: to be in games because they're they're game changers. But 921 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,479 Speaker 1: if you're not one hundred percent, then you're not a 922 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: game changer. You're just another guy on the line, if 923 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 1: that makes sense, which we know Mica is not another guy. 924 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 1: I want to clear it up before my Twitter mentions 925 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: get all blown up. Mica is that guy. So I 926 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: think going into this week, maybe they're a little bit 927 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,840 Speaker 1: more reserved on his reps, or they're just monitoring that 928 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: a little bit more so he can have that bounce 929 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: back for me once fully twice type mentality. Yeah, and 930 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 1: then to that point, I'm so glad you brought that up. 931 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: I was just about to say that, but look at 932 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 1: the pace the Eagles were playing at. I mean, there 933 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 1: was no time for anybody to even rest. So I 934 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,320 Speaker 1: think Mica not playing at you know, full one hundred 935 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 1: like we're used to seeing. And then on top of that, 936 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 1: the constant pace of being like this, it's only going 937 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: to make them better. All right, Do we have a 938 00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: past interference for us this week? You know what, I'm 939 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 1: going to save our past interference for tomorrow because it's 940 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: gonna be really good. I love that. All right, Well, 941 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,399 Speaker 1: that's gonna do that. I will be back here tomorrow, Hailey, 942 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,320 Speaker 1: Are you on the show tomorrow? Is there Kelsey Charles 943 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: depends on if Kelsey's here, gotcha all right, well, enjoyed 944 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 1: this roundtable with you ladies.
