We've got a lot to talk 10 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: about when it comes to the Giants game last week. 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: We've also got some things to talk about when it 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: comes to the Colts game next week. We've got a 13 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: special guest in our hot seats, so a lot of 14 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: things to get started with. Ladies, spend a minute since 15 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: we've had a chance to chat. The Cowboys are coming 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: off that mini bye they played on Thursday, beat the 17 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: Giants once again twenty eight to twenty. I said in 18 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: my five points recap last week, I know or earlier 19 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: this week it's a rivalry write but I said, what rivalry? 20 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: Because it's just getting silly at this point to consider 21 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys a rival when Dak Prescott is quarterback. But 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that later. Cowboys coming off of a 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: twelve day, three games stretch where they went two and one, 24 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: they are four and one since Dak returned a lot 25 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: of really positive performances in that game. But I want 26 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: to just start right there. I shall go to you first. 27 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: Who is your player of the game and why of 28 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: the game? I would say, I would say Ceedee Lamb. 29 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: I think I said Ceedee Lamb yesterday. Just he is 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: starting to take over games and spots when they need 31 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: a guy to continue to make plays and his insurgence 32 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: and also too, looking back at the game, he's starting 33 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: to get that attention. He's starting to get that oh, 34 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: let me make sure I have an extra safety over there, 35 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: and that in turn is open up things for Michael 36 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: Gallup and those guys to get going. So Ceedee Lamb emerging, 37 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: and this last couple of games has been big for me. 38 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: Yesterday I said Michael Gallup. But I'm gonna switch gears 39 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: a little bit here because I've been sitting on this 40 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: all morning. I'm gonna say Layton Vanderesh is my player 41 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: of the game. Because you know, two weeks ago we're 42 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: talking about the run defense and how that's kind of 43 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: this defense is kryptonite. And I feel like Layton Vanderesh 44 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: came in with a very vintage, like wolf hunter approach 45 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: to fixing this run defense, and his tackling is so 46 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: worth noting. I went back and I watched some of 47 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: the key points from Thursday's game. This man's tackling has 48 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: improved so much over the course of the last few weeks, 49 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: but even just since last season. You look at how 50 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: he tackles. He's not tackling forward anymore. It's not giving 51 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: that extra yardage to you know, those receivers or those backs. 52 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: But Layton Vanderesh is really impressing me. He's leading the 53 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,839 Speaker 1: league right now in tackles, I believe, and he just 54 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: is coming out swinging this season, and I love to 55 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: see that for him. I love that you said, CD, 56 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: that is my honorable mention. And not only because but 57 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: in the room whenever everyone on the sideline was like, bro, 58 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: you have two hands, use them, So of course the 59 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: natural question to ask in the locker room is why 60 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: were you not using two hands? And CD said, quite frankly, 61 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: they were holding my left hand all day, Like I 62 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: had to make the play, I had to do something, 63 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: so I was using one hand. So we love a 64 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: guy who is confident with just one hand as well 65 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: as both of them. He does very well with both. 66 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: I also said on this a lot because I wanted 67 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: to naturally go defense. I think the easy question, or 68 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: the easy answer was Michael Parsons getting two sacks continues 69 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: to be a menace. But I wanted to dig a 70 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: little bit deeper into that, and so I picked a group. 71 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: I picked the tight end group, and we're going to 72 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: break it down in just a minute. Why. But I 73 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: think this tight end group is so special and at 74 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: this point, so necessary to the Cowboys success this season. 75 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: They have such a secret weapon in that group. I 76 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: asked Kellen Moore about it yesterday. When it comes to 77 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: having four tight ends on an active roster who can 78 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: come in and make an impact, what that allows him 79 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: to do creatively? And here's what he had to say. 80 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: The thing it allows us certainly we can have some 81 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: depth in those positions, so we're not one guy away. 82 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes the tight ends needs a break and whatnot. 83 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: When you have four of them, we can go into 84 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: whistle of those packages, knowing if one guy's out, we 85 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: still got enough depth there, and so that's huge. And 86 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: those guys just do such a good job. They're really 87 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: smart players, so they can handle all these different roles 88 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: and you know we're gonna run the football in it, 89 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: but we can also spread people out and we can 90 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: play in empty sets with those tight ends, and they 91 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: can run the receiver rout tree and so it's been 92 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: fun for those guys to see their growth, especially the 93 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: young guys, to see them them grow in those roles. 94 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: So that's Kellen on the creativity. And after hearing that yesterday, 95 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to dig a little bit more. 96 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: I took a page out of your book. So I 97 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: hope you're proud of me in this. And this is 98 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: some of the research that I found from this. This 99 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: all comes from next Gen Stats. So the Cowboys have 100 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: played fifty four point six percent of their snaps in 101 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: eleven personnel, which means they have one running back, one 102 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: tight end, and three wide receivers on the field. Their 103 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: next highest would be twelve personnel at twenty five point 104 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: six percent, but they have a fifty three percent success 105 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: rate in plays that twelve in that twelve personnel grouping. 106 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: And here's where it gets fun. The more tight ends 107 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: they have on the field, the higher rate of success 108 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: they have when it comes to converting plays. They're getting 109 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: an average of eight yards per play, six yards per 110 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: play as opposed to the three, the two, whatever it takes. 111 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: So my question for you guys, how is having that 112 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: many skilled tight ends on a roster bode well for 113 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys? How can they utilize that group going into 114 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: this last arguably most important part of the season. Yeah. Absolutely, 115 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: So with the eleven personnel that you're talking about, it 116 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me that the percentage is somewhat close. But 117 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: with twelve personnel, the tight ends being receiving options, I 118 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: really believe is what changes tips to tide in them all. 119 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: So having the ability to block and get out and 120 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: also make and catch passes. But what eleven personnel, You're 121 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: relying on those wide receivers to create separation and to 122 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: get open on their own to some degree. So I 123 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: understand that with them being in for extra blocking, teams 124 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: don't know if this guy's going to break out for 125 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: a quick out or if he's really in there run 126 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: blocking those plays, and you see that with my bad 127 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: with Jake Ferguson and Payton Hendershot, they're they're getting dbs 128 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: and linebackers to bite because they think that this is 129 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: a run player and they're selling it and that's allowing 130 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: them to get out and be receiving options. You got 131 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: a vertical threat and a guy that has the athleticism. 132 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: It's there's versatility in this room. And then with Sean 133 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: McEwen mckune. Rather mckune, he has the ability also to 134 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: be a passing option. But his blocking has been so important, 135 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: so important to what they do, and it's also helped 136 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: with this offensive line and to drive this offensive line 137 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: to success. So that makes so much sense that they're 138 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: seeing so much more success with more tight ends on 139 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: the Yeah, and I think you know, I used to 140 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: hit the nail right on the head. But the versatility, 141 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: it allows for more versatility, it allows for more of 142 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: a threat. And we've talked about how you know this 143 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: Cowboy's offense, they don't have that one threat that you 144 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: know an OBGA might bring where it instills fear into 145 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: opposing defenses. When you have a core tight end group 146 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: like this, you don't know what you're going to get 147 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: Like Aisha said, Oh hey, Fergie's on the field. What 148 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: are we getting with Fergie? We're gonna get hurtled? Are 149 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: we going to get some pass pro in there? And 150 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: you know something I know Tony Pollard has been a 151 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: little scrutinized on is the pass pro. So I think 152 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: if anything can come in and help take that off 153 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: of him, help the passpro a little bit, that is 154 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: always a great option. Of course, it opens up the RPO, 155 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: the run pass option for Dak And most importantly, I 156 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: think when we're talking about this identity of this offense, 157 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: it's the run game, right And so when you have 158 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: these tight ends that cannot only go in and obviously 159 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: be an option for more of a wide receiver corps, 160 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: but that pass pro unity, oh man, you have Zeke 161 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: and you have Tony Paldy of that one two punch 162 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: that is going to just eat yardage completely throughout the game. 163 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: So I think it just allows for more versatility within 164 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboy's offense overall. Here's what I like the most 165 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: about this group. We talked last week about from a 166 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: defensive standpoint, how do you help the run game? It's 167 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: by doing your job. I don't think there's a single 168 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: group in this locker room that knows and understands their 169 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: roles better than the tight ends. You have Dalton Schultz, 170 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: the guy who's going to find the end zone. He's old, 171 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: reliable for Dak Prescott. You got Jake Ferguson, who you 172 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: have to respect at this point. He's big, he's athletic. 173 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: He'll juke you if you're the Eagles, he'll leap you 174 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: if you are the Giants. I'm excited to see what 175 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: he will do coming up this week against the Colts, 176 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: so you have to respect him as a playmaker. You've 177 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: got Peyton Hindershot who's fast, potentially a deep threat. We 178 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: just talked about that before the game, and he can 179 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: run like a running back right. And then you have 180 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: Sean mcuwen who comes in and can block because does 181 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: his job. Every single one of these guys you have 182 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: to respect because they provide such a different facet of 183 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: what it means to be a tight end. And I 184 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: think I hope rather that the Cowboys will lean on 185 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: them a little bit more as options and providing that 186 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: spark for the offense, because we've talked a lot about 187 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: where the offenses struggle they just didn't have a spark, 188 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: you just said it. So hopefully with this tight end group, 189 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: I think it will start to kickstart maybe a little bit. 190 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: We'll see against the Cults. I also think something worth 191 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: noting too is this tight end group is so close knit, 192 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: not just on the field obviously, but you see off 193 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: the field, on the sounds of the sideline and all 194 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: of that. But you even take it back and notch. 195 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: You remember that closeness with Dalton Schultz and Blake Jarwin, 196 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, when Jarwin was still on the team, And 197 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: so I think what's awesome to see is Dalton Schultz 198 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: really bringing that same energy and that same tight knit 199 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: closeness that he had with Jarwin into this younger tight 200 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: end core and really showing them the rogues and you know, 201 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: knowing that, yes, this is a team, this is a 202 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: team thing, right, and not being selfish with those rep 203 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: because he very easily could be like, hey, guys, I'm 204 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: the vet in the room, this is my stuff. But 205 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: the fact that they know how to spread out so 206 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: well and just not be selfish with those reps, I 207 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: think that's incredible. And Dalton talked about that after the 208 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: game when he was asked, you know, like, are you 209 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: okay with this type of football that you're playing in 210 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: that tight end room? And he said, yeah. My favorite 211 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: part about these guys is that we just we do 212 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: it together. We championed. I think the celebration really embodied 213 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: who they are as a group. You know, Peyton gets 214 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: to touchdown, but he turns around before anything and he's 215 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: waiting the entire group to celebrate. So I love that 216 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: for them. I hope to see them continue. I believe 217 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: that they will, so we will keep an eye on that. 218 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: Of course, with the good always comes the bat. It 219 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: was not a perfect performance from the Cowboys perspective. Jess. 220 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: I was trying my hardest to find something in the 221 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: building that would even remotely look like shot glasses because 222 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: I was going to bring them down here I have water. 223 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I know, we laugh about it a lot, 224 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: but again, doing some digging, we talk a lot about 225 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: the penalties and how much of an impact they can 226 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: make on the game. Thursday's game in particular, that it 227 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: really was an issue. Thirteen flags cost them eight eighty 228 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: six yards. They have thirty six pre snap penalties this 229 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: season alone, so it kind of got me thinking you know, 230 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,599 Speaker 1: they led the league last year in penalties. Where do 231 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: they stand out this year? They have been better? But 232 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: how much better? Well, not much. They're in second only, 233 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: second to the Denver Bros. So first, yeah, we're not skirst. 234 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: We're second in total penalties in twenty twenty two with 235 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: eighty three. Last season was one twenty seven, So we're 236 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: not that far yea. And they stack up like when 237 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: you go through them, it's like five five this game 238 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: to this game eight what in the world. And it's 239 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: like some games they'll have. They've had a couple of 240 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: spans of games where it's like oh, okay, okay, and 241 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: then it's just like a boom, like better like Thursday. Yeah, 242 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: you don't look like they feel like they need to 243 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: make up. They're like, oh, like we had three lass 244 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: you know what? You know what, I love me a 245 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: good punt. And y'all know this and I usually heard 246 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: this before, Haley haven't told you. So. I was talking 247 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: to you a football genius a couple of weeks ago 248 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: about my my my knack for for keeping track of 249 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: penalties on the podcast, and uh, you know, he said, 250 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: it's like mustard on the lettuce. So lettuce is green. 251 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: You have mustard that goes on the lettuce. I quit well, 252 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: and it was it was more jazz. Can we do 253 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: we have a sound effect? It worked out better because 254 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: it was the Vikings game with a forty burger, so 255 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: that's why it kind of tied together for a burger 256 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: and mustard and lettice. But this week you could also 257 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: keep it food related for Thanksgiving. However, what I want 258 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: no jazzy, no sound. But what I was gonna say, see, 259 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: I think she with me on that one. She did 260 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: it jazz jazz no. So what I was gonna say, though, 261 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: is you were talking about the total count, and of 262 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: course Chris sent me this incredible website. Thank you Chris, 263 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: our other producer for sending me this golden this golden 264 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: ticket of all things. Penalties, but eighty three penalties so 265 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,119 Speaker 1: far this season for six hundred and twenty six yards. 266 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: That is the problem. So we always joke and the 267 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: running joke is I talk about penalties, but when you're 268 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: cost it. When you have eighty three penalties that have 269 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: cost you six hundred and twenty six yards this season, 270 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: that's a huge issue because to me, you know, my 271 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: biggest problem with the amount of penalties against the Giants 272 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: is Yes, it's the Giants. You can get away with 273 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: thirteen penalties and obviously still pull out a win. When 274 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: you're talking later on down the road, when you're talking 275 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: you know, potential playoff games and things like that. That 276 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: essentially is what costs the Cowboys a playoff win against 277 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers last season when you look at that. 278 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: So my thing is you're already stacking up that yardage, 279 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: the penalties, the accounts of everything. I don't want it 280 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: to come back around and be a full circle moment 281 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: that we do not want to see that costs them 282 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: a bigger game down the road. That's that's my biggest 283 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: issue with it. I agree, And like I said, I 284 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: know we pick fun at Jess about it, but it 285 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: is a serious conversation. We pick fun just because we 286 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: she says the word penalties because they love, but it 287 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: is true. Now, McCarthy did speak about it yesterday, Yeah, 288 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: particularly when it came to the pre snap penalties. I 289 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: think that's what he kind of was alluding to, and 290 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: he said, yeah, we have a lot of pre snap 291 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: penalties because we're trying to be aggressive, We're trying to 292 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: get the guys to all be on the same page 293 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to Dak's new cadence. We're trying to 294 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: make sure that we're being aggressive. That's kind of been 295 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: the running theme for this offense is aggressive. And I 296 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: think Kellen Moore talked about that yesterday too, But wouldn't 297 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: I guess My question is, and I shall go to 298 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: you for this, how much is too much when it 299 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: comes to that aggressiveness. What's what's a risk reward of 300 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna we're gonna have these penalties. But 301 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm okay with it because, yeah, I think I think 302 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: that's what they're They're trying to find the balance right now. 303 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: What's not helping is the turnovers too. Yeah. Is it's 304 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: one of those things where maybe you can overcome the turnover, 305 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: but then to have the turnover and the penalty or 306 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: the penalty that causes the turnover, and then the turnover 307 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: and they score points off of it. Because if you 308 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: look back at even the Green Bay game and some 309 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: of the Giants game, like they scored because of the penalties. 310 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: And so the Cowboys have had this problem for a 311 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: while just getting out of their own way and being 312 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: able to um to you know, make something happen after 313 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: they've gotten behind the sticks. They struggle when they're behind 314 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: the sticks. Now, granted, Dak is made up for some 315 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: of that stuff because you're in third and long, sis 316 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: game and stuff because of the penalties, and he was 317 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: able to do that, but again, depending on that and 318 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: that aggressiveness puts you in situations where you could have turnovers. Again. 319 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: So right now, I feel like they're just trying to 320 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: find the balton. It's a difficult place to be in 321 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: to be, like, I want to be aggressive, but there's 322 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: there's bad that comes out of it. Yeah, And I'm 323 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: just going down this list of players within the Cowboys 324 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: team that has the most penalties, Tyler Smith having the 325 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: most so far this season with eight. He has six 326 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: offensive holding penalties and four false start penalties. That is, 327 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: to me, on the job training. And I'm not making 328 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: excuses for him, but we hear that a lot when 329 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: it comes to this coaching staff is talking about on 330 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: the job training. I think Tyler Smith has held up 331 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: his own very well this season, so you know, to me, okay, 332 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: we're going to see that, but this is the time 333 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: of the season those things need to start getting a 334 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: little bit more hunkered down on because it could cost 335 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: you a game. Yeah, And I think what I really 336 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: appreciated about Mike McCarthy yesterday talking about penalties was he said, 337 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: we went through every single pre snap penalty that we 338 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: have had this season, and we watched it over and 339 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: over again. So for me, I think the biggest question 340 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: is how do you coach that? How do you fix that? 341 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: What's the solution? It's that it's it's that it is 342 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: watching and kind of just learning the muscle memory to 343 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: not make those mistakes anymore. So to me, Mike McCarthy's 344 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: doing his due diligence in making sure that it's taken 345 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: care of. It's just you have to execute. Yeah, a 346 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: good way to put it. I am disappointed that you 347 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: guys didn't bring up Zach Martin's we did yesterday. Yeah, 348 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: you can't pancake. I mean that's like, I know, it's 349 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: one of those things where, um, is that a pancake 350 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: or is it a hole? Everybody in the press, everybody 351 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: in the press box when we saw the flag go 352 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: out and we're like a great, another holding penalty, but 353 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: when the announcer in the press box was like holding 354 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: on Zach Martin, everybody. I mean, if we all have 355 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: water in our mouths, we all would have spit it out. 356 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: It was nuts, um take it back. So that was interesting. 357 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: So a lot to clean up for the Cowboys. When 358 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: it comes to penalties. I'm sure they'll start addressing that. 359 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: We'll get another chance to speak with Mike McCarthy on Wednesday. 360 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: We are going to take our first break, but when 361 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: we come back, we're going to get a chance to 362 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: speak with our hot seat special guest here on Girls Talk, 363 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: Boys Talk, presented by Jigsaw Dating, the official dating partner 364 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys.

We have Nicky Harrison, 407 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: director of Programming and Traffic. A little bit about Nikki 408 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: before we give her the mic. She's in her seventeenth 409 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: season with the Dallas Cowboys. She does programming and traffic, 410 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: which I'm really excited to ask what that actually means, 411 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: because I always wonder. She went to the University of 412 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: North Texas and she's also done a little podcasting as well, 413 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: so this is nothing unusual or uncomfortable for you. Nikki. 414 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being with us. Thank you, 415 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: thank you for having me. I have to say it's 416 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: weird being on this side, not asking the questions, but 417 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: being asked the questions. So we feel that way too sometimes, 418 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: just having to be vulnerable and be in that situation. 419 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: But we thank you for your time and expertise. I'm 420 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: going to kick this off with just that I have 421 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: always I've worked in newsrooms, so we've always have a 422 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: traffic coordinator as well, and just being in a newsroom, 423 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: I always just assume traffic cars, but that is not 424 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: the case. I would guess here that is correct. So 425 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: just tell us a little bit about what you do. 426 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: And absolutely so traffic, Okay, Traffic is making sure all 427 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: of the sponsored elements are in the show and go 428 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: where they go, like those reads that you have to read, yes, 429 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: and all of the commercials. So I manage all of 430 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: that for English radio, English TV UM digital signage here 431 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: at the Star and at the stadium. What does it? 432 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: And this is always a broad question, and I love 433 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: it because it just leads to so many avenues. But 434 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: what does a average day for Miss Nikki Harrison look like. 435 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: An average day is logs logs, because I'm creating all 436 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: of the logs for our programming that's happening in the 437 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: very next day and for the upcoming game. So, for example, 438 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: we'll have programming on all of our flagship station tomorrow, 439 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: and we've got TV shows. We've got a ton you know, 440 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: We've got a ton of video content. It's being produced. 441 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: I manage all of the podcasts that take place, yes ma'am, oh, no, 442 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: oh Lord, yes ma'am and then um, then and as 443 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm preparing for the next day, I'm also preparing for 444 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: the next game. So we've got a game on Sunday 445 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: versus the Indianapolis Cults, and we've got digital logs. I 446 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: have to get done. TV logs, radio logs. It's logs, logs. 447 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: Maybe how did you get to be at this point 448 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: in your career? Give us a little lowdown on you know, 449 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: what you thought maybe you would be doing and then 450 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: how this all ended up coming to light. Okay, So, 451 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: as Hailey said, I graduated from un t go mean 452 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: green and requirements. So you guys may not know because 453 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: you're a lot younger than me. But MTV at the 454 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: time showed music videos when I was in school, and 455 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to be an mtvvju. I could see that 456 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: I was right every morning before school. Yep. I was 457 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: planning to move to New York and take a lot 458 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: of loves job. But I visited New York for the 459 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: first time and I was like, oh no, I love 460 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: the city. But I was like, I don't think I 461 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: can live here like this by myself. So um, while 462 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: I was still in school, like in turn for the 463 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks, and I mean, I never had aspirations of 464 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: going into sports. I never played sports. I was a 465 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: band nerd I you know, took dance classes, played the piano. 466 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: So sports was not on my radar at all. But 467 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: once I inturned from the MAVs, I loved it. And 468 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: one thing I would say is you build relationships and 469 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: the people that you meet help you get to the 470 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: next step. And that's how I got here. Yep, ye 471 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: been here ever since. I feel that way about Kyle 472 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 1: because Kyle Yeoman's who does all of our podcasts. He's 473 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: the same way. I give him credit for helping me 474 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: be in this chair. So I love the connections there too. 475 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: So do you have a read that you remember that 476 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: was like memorable, that was maybe a little off the hinges, 477 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: or it was something very funny that resonnated with you, 478 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: or it was important to you that you remember, um 479 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: from from what I don't know, just I guess possibly 480 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: just one of the reeds that's come out that's maybe 481 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: stuck with you, like this was it? Or I had 482 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: or some type of promotion that you've done that really 483 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: stuck with you. Okay, Wow, I meant something to you. Wow, 484 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: that's a that's a very good question. And you know 485 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 1: what typically happens is, UM, I tend to think of 486 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: what has happened most recently, you know what I mean. 487 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: So probably one of the most recent things that I've 488 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: been a part of was I got to MC for 489 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: our community relations department Emily you guys, Yes, for her 490 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: team I AMC a women's workshop at the at AT 491 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: and T Stadium and it was just helping women who 492 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: were looking for a second chance, you know, trying to 493 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: get back on their feet. Yes, and anytime I get 494 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: the opportunity to be around women to empower women, I'm 495 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: off for it. Signed me up, Sign me up twice, 496 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: you know, And so that happened about a month ago 497 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: and it was great. You know, you walk away like 498 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: I did something good today. Going off of that, Thank you, Jazzy. 499 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: Going off of that. While I was reading through your bio, 500 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: one of the things that resonated with me really well 501 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: is your passion for storytelling. That's the reason why I 502 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: got into this business, and it's the premise of what 503 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: I do in our pregame show every week is just 504 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: reminding these people that like the Cowboys players who you 505 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: root for and sometimes boo, they also have families. And 506 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean absolutely, where does that connection 507 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: come from you? What drives you to be a storyteller 508 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: and to share those type of messages and stories. Well, 509 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: because that is an excellent question, because I love seeing 510 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: the human side. You know, sometimes we forget that, Like 511 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: what you just said, they have a family, they are 512 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: human beings, and what we're doing is we're critiquing what 513 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: they do and as humans exactly so they make mistakes, 514 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: we make mistakes, you know. But yes, I just love 515 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: seeing the human side. And I feel like when you 516 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: can tell a story start, middle and end, that just 517 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: just wraps it up in a way that just so 518 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: feel good. I don't know, it's my favorite part. It's 519 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: actually one of my favorite parts about when I in 520 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys draft a player and I start going into 521 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: looking in depth with them. I start with what are 522 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: you know? What's their rapport? What do people say about them? 523 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: Their high high school coaches? And then also you know 524 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: their family life, because I think so much of that 525 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: plays into what they become as a player and what 526 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: they put in in the time, they put in in 527 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: their story. So I who hardly agree Nikki, And so 528 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: as you know, on this podcast, we are all about 529 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: women empowerment and making sure that the next generation of 530 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: women know that although this is a male dominated industry, 531 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: we're changing that and we're changing that drive. What is 532 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: your advice to any of those little girls who maybe 533 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: not that don't think that your avenue is possible for them. 534 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: What would you tell them? Oh, I love that, I 535 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: would tell them to Number one, don't be afraid to 536 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: dream bag whatever it is you want to do, you 537 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: can do it, and don't let anybody tell you that 538 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,479 Speaker 1: you can't. You can only be the person that can 539 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: tell you that you can't. And what I said earlier 540 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: is building those relationships. They are so important because you 541 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: never know who you're talking to could be the person 542 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: that takes you to that next level, catapults you to 543 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: that next level. So yeah, I love that catapults to 544 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: the oh I love that. I did too. So you're 545 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: an Ohio native? Is that correct? Akron? Yes, an Ja, yes, yes, 546 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: so Lebron fans all the way. Okay, what was the 547 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: path from Ohio to North Texas? And then you know, 548 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: obviously you know you're here with the cowboys, But what 549 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: brought you to Texas? Really simple? My parents? Yes, So 550 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: Akron is like Detroit, like Toledo. It's an old town. 551 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: And when industry moved out, parents had to figure things 552 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: out and my father went back to school. And at 553 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: the time, Texas and especially North Texas was booming with jobs, 554 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: and we moved down. My mom's a teacher, so she 555 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: could she could have worked anywhere. What does she teach, Well, 556 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: she's retired now, but she taught elementary. She taught every 557 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: great except kindergarten. Y, my mom is a teacher right now. 558 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: Anytime I get a chance to talk to anybody about teachers, 559 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: Millie Cooker told me his mom was also a teacher yesterday. 560 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: So I'm like, we have so much in common. I knowechs, 561 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: go Lebron, all the things. What would you say? Two 562 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: part question here?

I like to control 567 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: things sometimes and when I'm waiting on things from other 568 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: people that kind of But I've been doing it long 569 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: enough to where I don't even like let it affect 570 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: me like it used to.

Although I wouldn't call 682 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: it a deal, it was. I just know you did 683 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 1: not boom me after we talked about Mustard on the lettuce. 684 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 1: I love it. No, I'm so proud of the puns 685 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: that we've been adding him here. You know. I love 686 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 1: a good pun of saying the punt that was beautiful, 687 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: that was beautifully executed. I love that. The point is 688 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys have waived defensive in Terrell Basham, the 689 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: former third rounder. He was drafted to the Colts back 690 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. He played minimal snaps this season, but 691 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: he never quite found his footing after getting an injury 692 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: in that first game in Tampa Bay. So we're not 693 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: really surprised, I don't think in the wave, Am I 694 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: right in saying that no one's been surprised, I'm not. 695 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: I guess I'm not surprised, but I'm still a little 696 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 1: like it just it kind of wasn't for me. It 697 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: was unexpected. Maybe I didn't expect to see his name 698 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,839 Speaker 1: because Terrell Basham is a player like he's he's he's 699 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: a below I mean above average player absolutely at d N, 700 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 1: So I actually expect for someone to probably pick him up. 701 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: So I just it just shows the depth that you 702 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: have on this defensive line, especially at d N and 703 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: then you brought in Tac McKinley. Maybe there's something there 704 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: they saw from him. Yeah, I just think it the 705 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,959 Speaker 1: move for me, that is such a hard position room 706 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: to be in because there's so many weapons. Hum, you 707 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: know what I mean, there's so many weapons and there's 708 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 1: so many impactful humans. So I kind of feel as 709 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,760 Speaker 1: if he got the short end of the stick only 710 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,479 Speaker 1: because of the circumstances he was dealt this season jury 711 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: not being able to be on the field. Yeah, matter 712 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: too far behind you, and you also have Dante Feller 713 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: and Sam Williams who have been really sping up, and 714 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just interesting because yesterday during Mike 715 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: McCarthy's press conference, he was asked, you know, is anybody's 716 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: twenty one practice day window about to be activated? She 717 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: didn't really give an answer. He told us you would 718 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: let us know tomorrow, right, didn't really say yes or 719 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: no yet. However, not surprised to see a move being 720 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 1: made this week with the talks of moving people up 721 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: maybe out of irm. I just yeah, I'm wait, we 722 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: wish him well. We wish him well. So that that 723 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: leads into my next question. Realistically, and I emphasize that 724 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: word realistically because we all have our hopes and dreams 725 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: of what we would like to see on this roster. 726 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 1: But realistically, when we wave to Terrell Basham, what does 727 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: that clear the way for in terms of a roster spot? Oh? Man, well, 728 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: it depends which which way are we taking this. I 729 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: have no idea of it, because I truly I heard 730 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: Brian brought us talking about the time in which they're 731 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 1: looking to elevate tyrone, which doesn't seem like a this 732 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: week thing. Yeah, so then it's like, well, what what 733 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: what else could possibly be? You could also tell a 734 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: reason why they would be doing this today. Yeah, I mean, 735 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,479 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it. Also, look, I'm not gonna 736 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 1: say the obvious thing that's come in everybody's mind here, 737 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: but you also have names like James Washington. You also 738 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 1: you know there's there's other things here. People don't jump 739 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: to conclusions, but um, it's an interesting, I will say 740 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: interesting series of events with the timing that is, I'm 741 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: gonna say it. I think it has something to do 742 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: with they go Hayley. You can say I teach you 743 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: ladies up to be in the small. You could say 744 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: it you didn't want it. I know it. I didn't 745 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: want that. Um so. And I think it's interesting too 746 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: because you know, yesterday Stephen Jones was like very ominous 747 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: and not talking about the situation. Jerry came on the 748 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: radio today ton all about it. Five questions he was 749 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: asked about the Odell Beckham Junior. The first was did 750 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: the incident in Miami have any impact? Not really. I 751 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: think that's kind of been, you know, the norm, especially 752 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: even Mike McCarthy talked about that earlier. Um he just 753 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: talked about, you know, his overall compatibility with the team 754 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,800 Speaker 1: would be very good. The biggest thing to me is 755 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: that he's coming for a visit. And I think what 756 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,879 Speaker 1: stands out to me about the Odell Beckham thing before 757 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,479 Speaker 1: we kind of transition into um a quick chat about 758 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: the Colts. But he's coming here last, you know what 759 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean, Like he's got Giants bills and then Cowboys 760 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: saved the best for last, Saved the best for last. 761 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: Don't let him leave the building. To me, I just 762 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: I just walked down in a bad way. I know, like, 763 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, it was kind of scared. Don't let 764 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: him good if ode Beckham you find him tied up somewhere, 765 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: you know, broke. But I just think, you know, all 766 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: of the stars kind of feel like they're I can't 767 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: even look at the stars are aligning, Dell. Just something 768 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: to keep keep an eye out for it, and we'll 769 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: hear from Mike McCarthy one more time tomorrow. Someone is 770 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: going to ask him about it, so we'll have a 771 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 1: little bit more clarity on that. But before we go, 772 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: I want to quickly talk about the Colts, as we 773 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: always do on Wednesdays. We'll dive even more into that 774 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: matchup and what challenges they present, but just off the top, 775 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 1: something that has stood out to me. A few weeks ago, 776 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 1: we were talking about how scary the back half of 777 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: the season was for the Cowboys, specifically when it came 778 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 1: to stopping the run, because the last five or so 779 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 1: games of the season, every single one of those teams 780 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: had running backs that were a threat. It started with 781 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, last week with Saquon Barkley. This week will 782 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: be why am I blanking on his name? Jonathan Taylor? Yeah, 783 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 1: I was gonna say Jonathan Jenkins. I don't even know 784 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:50,280 Speaker 1: who that is, not a real person. But what's interesting 785 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: to me is they've sort of met those expectations. And 786 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 1: I know the conversation initially was, well, when it came 787 00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: to the Vikings game, it was, well, did they really 788 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: fix the defense? It just got out to a big lead, 789 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,879 Speaker 1: and then you know, we're able to you know, punch 790 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: the gas ever since, and then all of a sudden 791 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 1: last week they're holding say, Quon Barkley to thirty nine 792 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: yards on eleven attempts. So when I look at this, 793 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: and I asked Lee Cooker about this yesterday just for 794 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,320 Speaker 1: more clarity, you know, was the Green Bay game a fluke? 795 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: Was it? You know? What was it? How did you 796 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: guys adjust that? And he's kind of said it point blank, 797 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: We've just been doing our assignments. There you go. And 798 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: something to me that I thought was so interesting that 799 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: he added to that as well, when it comes to 800 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: why run defense is really simple when you look at it, 801 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: he said, if everybody does their job, the run doesn't 802 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: get through. But when just one person messes up their assignment, 803 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: it shifts everybody out of whack. And he said, up 804 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:50,360 Speaker 1: until recently, that's been the issue. It's been one person 805 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: or two person and not like the same person. He 806 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,399 Speaker 1: wasn't you know, pointing fingers or whatever. But it's been 807 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: one person, two people not hitting that assignment and not 808 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: getting to their gap, not properly setting that edge, and 809 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: as a result, now the run's getting through. So my 810 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: question as we wrap this up, when you look at 811 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,800 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, He's got nearly three thousand yards over the 812 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 1: last two season. He was really impressive last year. This year, 813 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: the Colts have kind of been a hodgepodge of things. 814 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 1: Last night he had twenty carries for eighty six yards. 815 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: He did have a touchdown, but he's only got four touchdowns. 816 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: I believe this season. Is this another game where we 817 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: can see the run defense evolve another level? Do we 818 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 1: see them thrive a little bit? Do we think Jonathan 819 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,799 Speaker 1: Taylor is a struggle? Just your initial thoughts on that, 820 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: and like I said, we'll dive into this more tomorrow. 821 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,879 Speaker 1: He's gonna, he's gonna. He's a guy that can run 822 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,240 Speaker 1: at you, run at you fast. He has cutting ability, 823 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: he has breakaway speed. Jonathan Taylor can definitely bruise up 824 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,240 Speaker 1: your defense. But with what's happening with the Colts offensive line. 825 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 1: It's very odd because I wholeheartedly remember them being one 826 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 1: of the better offensive lines, but they are really struggling 827 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: to get pushed up front. So if your dbs come 828 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 1: in play like they did last week and tackle at 829 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: the edges, if your linebackers continue to play forward and 830 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,879 Speaker 1: also to the dts, I felt like played pretty well 831 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: in this this past game against the Giants, I think 832 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 1: that they can definitely hold him in check. Also, they're 833 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 1: going to be looking to lean on the run a 834 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 1: lot well what they have going on at quarterback right now, 835 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: and they're almost one dimensional coming into this game. So 836 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: I would definitely see the Cowboys defense hopefully having some 837 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: success against him. Yeah, I think containing the edges is 838 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 1: key here and for the for the run defense. But 839 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:38,280 Speaker 1: also when you're looking at the Colts offense as a whole, 840 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: what is their identity right now? They don't have one. 841 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday, there you go, well no, But what I'm 842 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 1: saying is you have the Cowboys defense has a very 843 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 1: big opportunity to really really amplify and take themselves to 844 00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 1: the next level. Not necessarily because of what the Colts 845 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 1: have or don't have, but because they have another shot 846 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: at getting me on the job practice preparing them for 847 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 1: later on, you know, when the Eagles game does roll 848 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 1: around here in the next few weeks. But something else 849 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: I did want to mention was Gilani Woods tight end 850 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 1: for the Colts going to be something else I do 851 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 1: want to deep dive into tomorrow to talk about, because 852 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,439 Speaker 1: as my co host Brandon on the Writer's Block said, 853 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: he is like a human giraffe. He was my guy, 854 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 1: and so he was a guy in the draft, and 855 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,840 Speaker 1: so jay Ron Curse coming back. If he's going to 856 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 1: play this week with that separated shoulder, that is definitely 857 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 1: a little shoulder injury or whatever I go on is 858 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 1: a matchup to be looking for because Lannie's a big guy. Yeah, 859 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: so well, I'll dive deep into that tomorrow. But just 860 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,400 Speaker 1: a little little teaser there for wants to come from 861 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 1: Girls talk, boys talk. I love that.
