Talk to him about 59 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: so he was very excited about it. The first time 60 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 2: I told him about it, He's like, I mean, I've 61 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 2: heard variations of it, but not like that. And then 62 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: we just got to talking about it and he said 63 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: he loved it. So I can be obnoxious and I 64 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 2: can say it as many times on here with the 65 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: stamp of approval from our guide Ron Bland. 66 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 4: Well, what was so cool about Thursday? And you guys 67 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 4: have heard me talk about it before. What's cool about 68 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 4: being down on the sideline is to see the way 69 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 4: that players and coaches interact with each other, older players 70 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 4: with younger players and things like that. But you can 71 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 4: tell how highly regarded someone is on their own team 72 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 4: by the way their teammates react or something good or 73 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 4: even bad happens. In that celebration with Deron Bland after 74 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 4: he scored, actually it started. It started as he was 75 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 4: running six or three yards I'd say about twenty yards 76 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 4: into his sixty three yard weaving and stuff. Everybody was 77 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 4: up on the bench and running down the sideline with 78 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 4: them going crazy, and of course Mike McCarthy had to 79 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 4: call a time out so that because there was so 80 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 4: much celebrating going on. And by the time Deran got 81 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 4: back to the bench area, I mean, they had already 82 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 4: kicked off, They had done the extra point, kicked off, 83 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,799 Speaker 4: and Washington had like two plays on offense before before 84 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 4: Deron could even sit on the bench because he was 85 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 4: being mobbed by his teammates to come to. 86 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: Them in the kettle right. 87 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 4: Well, they did do that. This is after they dumped 88 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 4: him in the cat oh I see, and got back 89 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 4: to the bench and not just the coaches and players, 90 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 4: but every single staff member And it was just as 91 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 4: exuberant and joyous an occasion on the sideline as I 92 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: can remember. Yeah, and everyone knew it was history, so 93 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 4: I think they appreciated that. But it just shows you 94 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: how much they think of Doran the person, his humility, 95 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 4: how Hardy's worked not to mention how great he is. 96 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: A picked six, absolutely, and you know it was It's 97 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: one of those moments where I just imagine somebody who 98 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: doesn't keep up with the Cowboys and doesn't kind of 99 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,799 Speaker 2: know what's going on in the that was the history 100 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 2: making placing how crazy all of the Cowboys fans went 101 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: in that moment in the fourth quarter already or the 102 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: forty points. 103 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: And. 104 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 2: It was so special. It was so special, and I 105 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 2: think it happening on the Thanksgiving Day game just made 106 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: it ten times more special for him. Ayisha, you obviously 107 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: know a little bit about drawn. What was your reaction 108 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: to the historic fifth pick six of the season, the 109 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,559 Speaker 2: first in NFL history? First time did you see that happen? 110 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 5: I was more excited about like the runback and just 111 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 5: like the skill, the vision that it took for him 112 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 5: to get into the end zone. We talked about the reaction, 113 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 5: the sideline reaction. Earby was going crazy. Brandon Cooks was 114 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 5: like hopping in the air, was so excited. And but 115 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 5: for me, I mean honestly, because if you look at 116 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 5: that game, there were they were heavily targeted, targeting him 117 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 5: and even to his standards. I talked to him in 118 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 5: the locker room. He felt like he definitely could ap 119 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 5: play better throughout throughout that game. And so for him 120 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 5: his response, it's something about Iron that I liked and 121 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 5: I appreciate about his game. I think it's easy when 122 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 5: we talk about corner to be like short term memory, 123 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 5: short term memory, but to actually see it personified in 124 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 5: a person where if he if he has a play 125 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 5: where he has a mistake or anything, he comes back 126 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 5: the next play and he's still aggressive, he's still physical, 127 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 5: he's still that guy. And so to me, it just 128 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 5: showed again his his resilience, his response to adversity, because 129 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 5: there was some of this game for him and I 130 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 5: was just of course, just like on the money, he's 131 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 5: just like, yeah, I'm still gonna make you pay, like 132 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 5: I mean, and. 133 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: That's the threat that he poses. 134 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 5: It's like I might get him sometimes every cornerback is 135 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 5: gonna have their games. They're gonna have times where where 136 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 5: offenses are trying to pick and choose where what they 137 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 5: would want to what they want to have stop, or 138 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 5: what they want to go at. 139 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 3: And the fact that. 140 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 5: That didn't bother him and he was he still showed 141 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 5: like you can do this all game if you want to, 142 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 5: I'm gonna get one, like one of these I'm gonna get. 143 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 5: So the threat, he just continues to show, the threat 144 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 5: of taking the ball away and putting up points is 145 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 5: a different It's a different category. If I'm not mistaken, 146 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 5: I think I don't know if Brian said this. I 147 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 5: heard him talking about the with the pick six what 148 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 5: it is in comparison, and it seems like it's like 149 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: I think he said, it's like it counts for almost 150 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 5: like four sacks in comparison. We talk about the statistics 151 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 5: and stuff. So it's just a big deal to get 152 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 5: points from your defense and to continue to get points 153 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 5: from your defense. So just an added element. Man, It's 154 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 5: it's exciting. 155 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: We talked to him. He's such a good human, such 156 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: a sweetheart. 157 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 5: That's the best part of this that he's just it 158 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 5: is not fake humilitie, right, No, because bebe there's you know, 159 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 5: like there's there's there's some sometimes some of that too, 160 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 5: so in this sport. 161 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 3: So yeah, really deserving player.

Let's continue talking about this Cowboys 255 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: defense while we are on the topic of it, Ladies, 256 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: as we go into this week, a big narrative you're 257 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: going to start to hear about is the run defense. 258 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: And you know, it's been a conversation, not just this week, 259 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 2: but even going back to last season. How do you 260 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: feel like up until because Mike McCarthy breaks this season 261 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: up into three trimesters, they're now going to put a 262 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: cap on the second trimester with this game coming on Thursday. 263 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 2: From what you've seen from this run defense up until 264 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: this point, what have you seen improvement on and who's 265 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 2: specifically is making sure that that is going to be 266 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: a conversation of the Cowboys past you. 267 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 3: Will, I can start there. 268 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 6: I think that interior has improved drastically with OsO Diggi 269 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 6: Zua really just playing lights out, especially against the Commanders. 270 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 6: There was one play, uh it was I don't know 271 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 6: if it was it wasn't a sack, but he just 272 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 6: ran through the center just you know, I don't know, 273 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 6: I don't remember what exactly what play was, But I 274 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 6: mean the way that he's playing so physical and really 275 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 6: setting the tone on that defensive line has really impressed 276 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 6: impressed me the most, along with Jonathan Hankins his first 277 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 6: two SAC games since twenty fourteen. 278 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 3: Uh, big hank Yeah, big hank Man. 279 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 4: Those guys are balling in. 280 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 3: It's it's freeing up. 281 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 6: You know, those guys in the second level and you know, 282 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 6: of course guys in the second year. 283 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 4: To play very freely. 284 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 6: So I I love the way that those guys interiorly 285 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 6: are playing. 286 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 4: Honestly, I still have questions about the defense, just because Thursday, 287 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 4: and it's something that we've been talking about. But again, 288 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 4: it was such a big lead in that game on Thursday, 289 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 4: and Sam Howe throws it the most in the league anyway, 290 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 4: and once they had to kind of get away Washington 291 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 4: from Brian Robinson and running and stuff because they needed 292 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 4: to throw even more to try and play catch up. 293 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 4: I still want to see more, that's fair. 294 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I guess I'm about in that 295 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 5: train as well. But at the same token, touching baseball 296 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 5: quite a few the guys and really considering the short 297 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 5: week and how everything, how everything kind of transpired, I 298 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 5: didn't expect to see them full speed. 299 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't like. 300 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 5: I just didn't go on into this game specifically. But 301 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 5: in regard to the run defense, I do think that 302 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 5: the Edges have gotten better at contain demon. Clark might 303 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 5: have played his best game that I've seen him play 304 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 5: this season. Talk to him in the locker room, and 305 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 5: he's he told me that he's starting he sees in 306 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 5: it like he's really seeing it, and that's clear on film. 307 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 5: So you're getting some good play from your linebackers. Like 308 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 5: you mentioned on the code, the trickle down effect. 309 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 3: Of the DT is playing well. 310 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 5: I've seen this, this team placed out run defense, and 311 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 5: really for me, it's the consistency. 312 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 4: There you go, That's that's That's what I'm pointing too. 313 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 4: I'm glad you said down here, yes. 314 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 5: Ma'am, and you're going to and the beauty of what's 315 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 5: coming up next. And with this schedule on how things go, 316 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 5: it's like it's about to get cold, yeah, and people 317 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 5: are gonna want to run the ball. 318 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 3: They're gonna commit to run the ball. 319 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 5: Because passing the ball is the harder thing to do 320 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 5: in those conditions. So we're gonna see this run defense 321 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 5: be tested. But I will say that I feel like 322 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 5: when they are, when they're focused and they're locked in, 323 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 5: they're so sound. But there are times where you're just like, 324 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 5: what you're doing. 325 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 3: Why do you get painting inside like that? Youth peaking, 326 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 3: youth peaking. You have to play your assignment. 327 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 5: So there are times when we run into these these 328 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 5: teams that have these lesser offensive lines that I do 329 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 5: think that this defense gets a little aggressive, getting upfield, 330 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 5: a little out of out of sink when it comes 331 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 5: to just playing their assignment. Looking for them to be 332 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 5: more disciplined consistently. As Christy was saying, but this next stretch, 333 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 5: you ain't gonna have a choice because Seattle got some 334 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 5: guys that can tote that rock, so they're gonna have 335 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 5: to play sound anyway. 336 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 2: I think for me, kind of what I'm focusing on 337 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: for their final trimester if you will have this season 338 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: as far as the defense is how well they can 339 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: do on first and second down, not so much third downs, 340 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: because I think when you start to see a little 341 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: bit more of the sticky run defenses when you're in 342 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: those third and short situations. So seeing how they can 343 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 2: make long third down scenarios for opposing offenses is kind 344 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 2: of what I'm gonna really focus on for this final trimester. 345 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 4: For them that during that is so good, I mean, 346 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 4: thank you, great, No, it really is a great point. 347 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 4: Because if you can stop the run on first and 348 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 4: second down and it's the share tackling, if it's a 349 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: two yard run, you stop them at two yards and 350 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 4: don't let them fall forward, and you have four or 351 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 4: five and have a shorter down and distance, keep them 352 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 4: behind the sticks to your point of third and long, 353 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 4: and that's when they have to pass, and your pass 354 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 4: rushers can pin their ears. 355 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 2: And at that point you're not feeling like you need 356 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 2: to chase a big play to have a sack or 357 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 2: to continuously try to beat your edges and have that 358 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: edge rush become a little bit predictable if you will. 359 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 2: So if you can create those third and long situations, 360 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: I mean during this game, Washington was seven and fifteen 361 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 2: in third down conversions there. So for me, it's not 362 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 2: necessarily it's not something that's been tested for a few 363 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: weeks that I think we can fairly say where it stands. 364 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 2: I think Thursday's game against Seattle will say something about it. 365 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 2: But that's a bigger conversation. I wanted to make sure 366 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 2: to have. Oh fantastic, Thank you guys, I love you 367 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: all Right.

Yes, imagine, yes, imagine if we rewounded 423 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 5: back to the first couple of weeks of the season 424 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 5: and we were just busting about the red zone and 425 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 5: now they're top ten. So they've definitely figured out some 426 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 5: things in that department. 427 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, number one in scoring offense, Okay, come on. 428 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 2: I also think that bye week did them a lot. 429 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: Paid dividends for when the bye week came post San Francisco, 430 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: I think that was the turning point. It wasn't necessarily 431 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: San Francisco. It was the bye week and what they 432 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: did during the bye week to be productive, to learn 433 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 2: from why the losses were happening. And so I don't 434 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 2: necessarily think a lot of narrative right now is oh. 435 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 3: What did you learn from San Francisco. 436 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Christy, I'm touching your cup over here, or 437 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: what did you learn from all of this? I think 438 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 2: it's what they chose to do and what they chose 439 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 2: to work on during that bye week that is changing 440 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 2: everything and making all the right things happen, especially when. 441 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 3: We're talking about it. 442 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 4: I love also throwing down the field, the number of 443 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 4: big plays and not being scared. But you also have 444 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 4: to credit the offensive line, not just for the improved 445 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 4: run game, but it takes time for these longer plays 446 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 4: to develop. You have to properly protect your quarterback to 447 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 4: be able to get the pass off on some of 448 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 4: these longer routes. And so I love that it's not 449 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 4: a dink and dunk. Then they can play that if 450 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 4: they need to. But but I love that they're taking 451 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 4: strikes down the field. 452 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, here to that point, to that point I was 453 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 5: when I went back and watched the game today, I 454 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 5: noticed very clearly, like it was just dope to see 455 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 5: them go be aggressive doc the ball sailed on Dak 456 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 5: to start this game, but just to go with the 457 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 5: double moves that early, like to just be like, you. 458 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 3: Know what, let's get this over with. 459 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 5: I love that aggressiveness from them. And then also to 460 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 5: to come back after they had a couple three and 461 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 5: ounces if I'm not mistaken to start that game to 462 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 5: come back and then if hey listen, if four c's 463 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 5: you playing cover two, Yeah, middle of the field open 464 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 5: by that scene, ball's coming and he's so comfortable attack 465 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 5: in the middle of the field. 466 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 3: It's really dope to see him grow into first but 467 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 3: it's really dope to see him. Yeah, but it's dope 468 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 3: to see him grow into that quarterback because I'm. 469 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 5: If I learned correctly, the way that a quarterback attacks 470 00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 5: the middle of a field tells you a lot about 471 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 5: with how they can play this game. And so yeah, 472 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 5: it's just the aggressiveness to go downfield and that and 473 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 5: to me, we talked about it, that's opening up the 474 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 5: run game, that's opening up a lot of the underneath stuff. 475 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 3: So it's working. 476 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 5: I also touch base with Tyler Piottish today when you've 477 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 5: mentioned the offensive line, Christy and the improvements that they 478 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 5: are making. 479 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 3: The tight ends. 480 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 5: Are doing some phenomenal They're blocking down the usage of 481 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 5: Hunter Lipke. 482 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: It's so quiet, but it's very effective. 483 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 5: It's been very effective with him just getting to the 484 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 5: second level and getting his nose in there and open 485 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 5: things up. But yeah, to your point, this offensive line, 486 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 5: the duo and combo blocks have been very. 487 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 3: Effective to them for them. So I asked Tyler Biottish, 488 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 3: why is that? Why is that effective? Because if you go. 489 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 5: Look at the Chiefs when they won the Super Bowl, 490 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 5: their offensive line wasn't nearly as good as the Cowboys 491 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 5: is right now, but they duo and combo block their 492 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 5: lives away until you know, to get their offense going. 493 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 5: So he told me that it really allows them to 494 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 5: press the line of scrim It allows the running back 495 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 5: to press the line of scrimmage. But it also gives 496 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 5: them leverage. 497 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 3: And that's what he was telling me. 498 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 5: But he also said that when you do the duo 499 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 5: in combo blocks, it pushes you can push the offensive 500 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 5: lineman into the running back well to the linebackers rather, 501 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 5: so they can't feel as effectively. And I really think 502 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 5: that's something that's been very helpful for this offensive line. 503 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 5: The duo on combo blocks have been very effective. It's 504 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 5: helping them get to the second level, and I think 505 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 5: that's why you see a TP starting to really explode. 506 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 5: They got Rico involved. Love that they this offensive line. 507 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 3: I asked them. 508 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 5: I was like, did y'all attack the edges on purpose 509 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 5: because y'all. 510 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 3: Knew that their edges wasn't that good. 511 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 5: Then they was like, yeah, because that first scoring drive 512 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 5: they went at the edges. 513 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 3: It screens townly, bounce into the outside, some outside and 514 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 3: on stuff. It was dope. And I think that's growth 515 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 3: from this offense. Like we talked about, is. 516 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 5: That they can play the matchup game. If you're weak here, 517 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 5: we're going there and I enjoy seeing that. But yeah, 518 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 5: this offensive line is starting to gel. But they're also 519 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 5: starting to figure out what works for them, especially in 520 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 5: the run game, because they're gonna need to be able 521 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 5: to run this ball consistently coming up. So, yeah, I 522 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 5: know that was a mouthful, but I wanted y'all to 523 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 5: know what Tyler Biadis told me about the duo and 524 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 5: combo blocks, because that's one of the biggest differences I 525 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 5: see in the tyrant. 526 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 3: It's just a beast. 527 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, And finally they have some continuity. 528 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 3: What's this game? 529 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 5: Three? 530 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 3: For three games without a sack? 531 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 4: Sorry about that? 532 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 5: No, no, no, that was me. 533 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 3: It was me because I switched it. I should have 534 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 3: just stayed. 535 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 5: Yes, you did three games without a sack? And how 536 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 5: many games have they played together for? So I do 537 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 5: to your your guys' point that that definitely does seem 538 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 5: like a reason why they're starting to to geil the 539 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 5: communication and stuff, and Terrence. 540 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 3: Still shout out to him. 541 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, you can tell that he's made some little and 542 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 5: little little things he's worked on and improved, and he 543 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 5: does look stronger out there, and I'm just I'm proud 544 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 5: of him because he was getting tore up in immediately. 545 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 4: And he's still the only player on offense that has 546 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 4: played one hundred percent of snaps the ship that's coming 547 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 4: off the serious injury. Yep, It's like, is he going 548 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 4: to be ready for camp or the season? And then 549 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 4: he's the only one that's played one hundred percent. 550 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 6: And that's something that's very difficult, playing that many snaps 551 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 6: and still having to hold down the fort. I think 552 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 6: that's pretty crazy. But as far as this running back room, 553 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 6: Tony Pollard, you mentioned it before that they've just gotten 554 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 6: so much better in past pro as well. 555 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 3: Oh, and you know you see it especially with Rico. 556 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 3: Didn't get that many carries. 557 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 6: Only three against the Commanders, but you're seeing him be 558 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 6: effective in other ways, especially in past Pro. And that's 559 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 6: something that he said that he was focused on this 560 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 6: off season and it's helped him become more of an 561 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 6: all around back. What if y'all liked from those guys 562 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 6: in that room As far as pass. 563 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 4: Pro, well, a lot of it has to do with 564 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 4: attitude and willingness, say that your stats or your ego 565 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 4: or whatever, for the greater good of the play. It's 566 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 4: doing the dirty work, which is what Zeke did so, 567 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 4: but you still have to You can have the willingness 568 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 4: and the want to, but you still have to have 569 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 4: the recognition as well. And there had been times where 570 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 4: he's lined up and he's had to go across and 571 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 4: put up the guy, and so there's no time to waste. 572 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 4: I mean, you once you see it, you have to 573 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 4: react right then because if you're a tick late, it's 574 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 4: going to be too late for your quarterback. 575 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it almost feels like Tony Pollard kind of went 576 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 2: back to his basics to refine what he already knew 577 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 2: to grow and get better because and that's something that 578 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 2: you here Coach McCarthy talk about all the time, is 579 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 2: going back to basics and fundamentals. But what I like 580 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 2: about it is that that was something that he was 581 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 2: highly scrutinized on before coming into the starting position when 582 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 2: Zeke was leaving, and he knew that everyone knew that. 583 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 2: It's not like it was a secret, and it was 584 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 2: a lot of noise about that being a big que 585 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 2: question of if he was even ready to take that 586 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: role because of the past pro aspect of his game 587 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 2: and the fact that he's almost become so good at 588 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,239 Speaker 2: it that you're not talking about it in less than 589 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 2: a year. Hasn't even been a full year that we 590 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: were questioning the past pro aspect of his game and 591 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 2: look at him now, and so you know, it is 592 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: frustrating when people are questioning if he's still the same 593 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 2: Tony Pollard. That in itself should show you he's not 594 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 2: the same Tony Pollard. He's a better version of the 595 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 2: Tony Pollard that you already knew. I do think people 596 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 2: tend to forget as well that this offense, it's okay, 597 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 2: that it changes identities and that it's not a run 598 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 2: heavy offense. Yeah, that's okay. And I think that's where 599 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: people kind of get this misconception of is he as productive? 600 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 2: Is is Rico as productive? You're playing a totally different 601 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 2: game than you were last year with two completely different 602 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 2: offensive systems, and I think people tend to forget that. 603 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: And so when we're talking about, you know, this amp 604 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 2: up that we're seeing from both Rico and Tony, it's justified, 605 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 2: apply justified because we still have not completely seen what 606 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: they're capable of doing. Especially when you're playing. When you're saying, 607 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott play like he is with his pass game, 608 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: you can't disrupt that. You can't disrupt the chemistry that 609 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 2: he's building with Brandon Cooks, with Ceedee Lamb, Galen Tolbert's 610 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 2: getting involved, and there's just so many different moving parts 611 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 2: that it's easier said than done to say to run 612 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 2: the ball more. If it's not a favorable matchup, to 613 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 2: run the ball, you don't have to force it. But 614 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 2: I just I'm so glad you brought that up about 615 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 2: Tony Pollard because he absolutely has worked hard to make 616 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: sure that that part of his game was shiny and 617 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 2: pretty for the season. 618 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 5: Needless to say this, that's one of the first things 619 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 5: that I noticed this season, and I was really kind 620 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 5: of looking at it. In consideration to people saying that 621 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 5: Tony lost a step and all this stuff, I'm like, well, 622 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 5: do I see. 623 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 3: Him sacrificing his body out here. 624 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: With these bolls pickups? 625 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 5: I do also to like that it's not just him 626 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 5: with the pass protection they're using Hunter Lipkey, these tight 627 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 5: ends are stepping in and to your point, just when 628 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 5: you talk about running the ball, there are several ways 629 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 5: to run the ball. 630 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 3: There are several rays to get your wife, your. 631 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 5: Running backs involved, and you know what, Cowboys are starting 632 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 5: to do that stuff. 633 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 3: I mean the screens, the tosses. 634 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 5: Also too, they're lining up Tony as a receiver at 635 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 5: times that opens up your offense as well. And there 636 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 5: are even times where they line him up as a receiver, 637 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 5: but he comes in and kind of helps out with terrence, 638 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 5: you know, in a certain place. Just to sow to 639 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 5: your point that, yeah, he definitely deserves his flowers for 640 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 5: how much he is sacrificed his body because sometimes those 641 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 5: blitz pickups, he's I mean he's thrown literally throwing his 642 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 5: body at some of these dns come in trying to 643 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 5: save his quarterback, and they're quite about twice this game 644 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 5: where it was like, if he doesn't make that block, 645 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 5: that play doesn't work. And so yeah, definitely definitely starting 646 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 5: to see and I think Mike McCarthy mentioned actually at 647 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 5: the start of training camp, he said that they had 648 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 5: been obsessing over when they got back here, they obsessed 649 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 5: over past protection with these running backs, and it's just 650 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 5: been an upward tick all year just seeing them because 651 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 5: the awareness has to be there too. It's not just 652 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 5: go out there block somebody when people are doing stunts 653 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 5: and blitzes and stuff. They also have to be able 654 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 5: to read what the defense is doing and be in 655 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 5: communication with the quarterback. So big jump from him and 656 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 5: you're one hundred percent right, bebe go ask around.

Yeah. 703 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 4: I do shout outs at the end of it because 704 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 4: the afternoon you have like a game, and then the 705 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 4: dance camp they do like the halftime and then they're 706 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 4: routines and then to the first quarter, then to the 707 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 4: third quarter when at the end of the game, and 708 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 4: then the big halftime extravagant. But anyway, then people come 709 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 4: on the field, the parents or you know, guardians whoever, 710 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 4: family and friends come down to the field to get 711 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 4: the kids. And uh so I go around and like, 712 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 4: where are you from? And we'll shout it out, and 713 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 4: I mean they come from and they can from from Mexico, 714 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 4: come from Japan. Yeah, it's a lot of time. 715 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 6: Tis the season for some youth camps, but also tis 716 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 6: the season for some more cowboys. 717 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 3: Does all right? 718 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 8: No? 719 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 3: I mean the way that this. 720 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 6: Team is playing and everything is coming together. I feel 721 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 6: like we asked this question, I believe in week six. 722 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 6: But do y'all feel like at this point of the 723 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 6: season that this team is finally at a point where 724 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 6: it needs to be. 725 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 4: Well, I mean there's still areas where you can you 726 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 4: know what everyone's like, moving back from the microphone, No, 727 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 4: it's it's it's a chance for a run defense to 728 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 4: show up and say and do because we're talking about 729 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 4: they hadn't with these big leads. The other teams have 730 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 4: not run as much. But I mean, I feel like 731 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 4: the whole teams is really hitting its stride just at 732 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 4: the right time. And I think one of the biggest 733 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 4: challenges moving forward is, you know, making sure that you 734 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 4: can stay healthy because when you get into December football, 735 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 4: and I know, we got the Thursday night game. It's 736 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 4: November thirtieth, so not technically December game yet, but it's close. 737 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 4: Especially that final month, it becomes a war of attrition, absolutely, 738 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 4: and so and if you think about what this defense 739 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 4: has done without Trayvon Diggs and without Layton Vandrush, I 740 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 4: mean that's really amazing. So kudos to Dumont Clark and 741 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 4: to Marquise Bell that and you know where Shawn Evans 742 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 4: is committed. You know, it's been a group. It's not 743 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 4: just a plug and play. 744 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 3: One for one. 745 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 4: And you have to also come in the coordinators as 746 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 4: well for bringing in the different people and kind of 747 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 4: redistribution in a way of some of them all. Yeah, absolutely, 748 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 4: well special teams what he lost CJ. Goodwin and just 749 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 4: some of the tweaks having Sam Williams, a two hundred 750 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 4: and sixty pound defensive end as a gunner. But yeah, 751 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 4: the trickle down effect is to special teams, you're you're 752 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 4: absolutely right, But it's I think that moving forward, it's 753 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 4: gonna all depend on complimentary football, right, winning at least 754 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 4: two of the three phases of the game, because when 755 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 4: you go against the really good teams that you're going 756 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 4: to be going against in Seattle, they still Seattle. Seattle 757 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 4: is a wounded team, So look out for wounded teams. 758 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 4: They really really, really really need this win at at 759 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 4: and T Stadium on Thursday night to really stay in contention. 760 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 4: I mean, mathematically they're not eliminated, it's not like that, 761 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 4: but they'll be on the outside looking in and possibly 762 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 4: not controlling their own destiny. They're six and five and 763 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 4: so they're outside of the wild card right now, so 764 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 4: it's going to be a really important game for them. 765 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 2: I also think it goes back to and I'm so 766 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 2: glad that Dak talked about this today in the scrum, 767 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 2: is that teams are going to play the Cowboys differently, period. 768 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 2: And I'm paraphrasing. He didn't say that word for word, 769 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 2: but he did mention how teams are always going to 770 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 2: put their best foot forward to beat this Cowboys team, 771 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 2: whether you're a wounded team or whether you're a team 772 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 2: looking for a confidence booster or any kind of win 773 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 2: you want, whether you're a Philadelphia Eagles team that wants 774 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 2: to just fortify their number one spot, no matter what 775 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,879 Speaker 2: the circumstances, you're going to get everything from any team 776 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 2: that comes to AT and T Stadium specifically, because what 777 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 2: better confidence booster is it for a wounded team or 778 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 2: a team that has no confidence, or a team looking 779 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,959 Speaker 2: for a number one spot than to get a home 780 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 2: on away win at AT and T Stadium that has 781 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 2: notoriously just been where the Cowboys play their best football. 782 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 2: So to answer questionicle, I like where they are right now, 783 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 2: but I do think the areas of improvement that they 784 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 2: have approved upon can need to continue to be improved upon. So, 785 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 2: for example, red zone, I want to continue to see 786 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 2: that production in the red zone. I don't want to 787 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,879 Speaker 2: see any drawbacks on that. In fact, what I would 788 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 2: like to see a little bit more of tight ends 789 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 2: in the red zone, even maybe a little bit more 790 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 2: Rico down Tony Pollard in the red zone. I want 791 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 2: to see a little bit more of that. Penalties. That's 792 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 2: another big one that comes to my mind is the 793 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,280 Speaker 2: Cowboys are second in the league right now for overall penalties. 794 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 2: You can't really change that now, but stop with the 795 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 2: self inflicted wounds earlier starts. That's another thing we haven't 796 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 2: been able to see from them yet. So just little 797 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 2: aspects of the game that can make it easier for 798 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 2: them to win games sooner and not necessarily have to 799 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 2: take it into the fourth quarter to be scrambling. These 800 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 2: are not should win games anymore. You're heading into tougher matchups. 801 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 2: You're not going to be u as I don't want 802 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 2: to say lucky, but as likely to see Jack Prescott 803 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 2: with his ball cap on in the fourth quarter going 804 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 2: into these next few weeks. So there's still some areas 805 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 2: of improvement, but they've been on the track to improving them. 806 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 2: So I just want to continue to see that. 807 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 3: Yes week, what. 808 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 4: They're twelve, twelve twelve. 809 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 3: Itels like a million pretty much. 810 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're actually thirteen because of the bye. 811 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I pretty. 812 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 5: Much are time and there might be like some few 813 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 5: improvements that they're able to make from now to them, 814 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:32,919 Speaker 5: but at this at. 815 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 3: This point, it's kind of what it is like. I 816 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:37,959 Speaker 3: feel like they're to your. 817 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 5: Point you mentioned the War of attrition, I believe that 818 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 5: the last couple of years, if I'm not mistaken. Going 819 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 5: into the playoffs, the Cowboys have been considered one of 820 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:45,720 Speaker 5: the healthier. 821 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Mike McCarthy. 822 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 5: Does a really good job of managing these gentlemen and 823 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 5: making sure they're healthy. 824 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 3: So oddly enough, yeah, the Saint would. 825 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 5: Oddly enough, that's something that I'm not super like terrified 826 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 5: of because also too, this season is so long. When 827 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 5: you think about the beginning of the season, I felt 828 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 5: like the Cowboys took the hit then. 829 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 3: I mean the offensive lineman being out. 830 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 5: We had three backups starting backup offensive linemen in that 831 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 5: Cardinals game. Like, the Cowboys got hit with some injuries 832 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 5: very early, and I think they've managed that well.
