It was Williams that was caught. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:55.720 The going down game we're about to win, had just proposed, 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.360 you know, two weeks earlier, emailed the ring or not emailed, 0:03:58.400 --> 0:03:59.800 mailed the ring and all that good stuff. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.280 And then who got him? I thought it was Mike 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:02.080 Michael Jenkins. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.960 I know he made him fumble, he did. 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.680 Made him fumble with the one. Then they proceeded to 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.160 go down the field and beat on us. So yeah, 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.080 that was the That was the first day beat us. 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.640 From then on out it was over with. Yeah, yeah, 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:19.920 the the that was. 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:20.360 A rough one. 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.880 Since Jerry World Open, Thanksgiving Day games have been interesting. 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.000 You know, you can't count on that dove like he 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.360 used to. I mean at time Colby number one one 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.480 Cole Beasley ran up in there and they carried him 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:31.159 off like Rudy. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.040 So I was just looking at it. 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.920 I was like, man, I can't remember beat one on Thanksgiving. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.640 RG three got us, got us a couple of times. 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.320 R G three, Andy Reid and the Chiefs came in 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.919 she Cha right before the halftime and this was some stuff. 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.640 Richard rich Pisatia and the Raiders a couple of years 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.919 ago came into one in overtime. So this is not 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.960 the hey, hey, the sweet dub it used to be. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.520 But Vegas thinks that it is tomorrow as they've got. 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.920 The Cowboys is a twelve point favorite against the Commando 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.440 ten versus Carolinas road game. Cowboys not better Homey's not 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:08.080 better at home, but. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.880 They think are better than the fan.

You and you 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.360 know how to Chickens were. But when you own those 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.040 season tickets, man, there's certain games.

Cowboy fan pays. 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.400 And they showed up, man, and they said it was 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.959 it was Panthers. I wasn't surprised that they fought. 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:23.880 I just wasn't. 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.720 I mean, still got some pride in them, and they 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.480 just could sustain it. And I think Washington will fight tomorrow. 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.480 I don't know how long they can fight. And then 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.080 you know they still go out and make kind of 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:33.439 kill the mistakes they do. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:34.000 But listen. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.440 And that was a point I wanted to make too 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.800 about last week, Like they lost the game, all right, 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.920 but it was very close for the amount of turnovers 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:44.960 that they gave away. Come on the Panthers, Yeah no, 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.280 come on, Like the way they played the game and 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.560 still had a chance to win at the end. Let 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.040 you know that there's still a competitive competitive team, all right, 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.040 because the ain't no way that game should have been 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.679 nowhere close. So you go out there and you watch them, 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.640 I'm just going back to Arizona, like we lost to Arizona. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.280 They played Arizona will and that's why you know a 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.280 little nervous. They're gonna fight the entire game unless you 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.400 come out in the first half and you have them 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.640 down by twenty one, twenty eight points. If they have 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.920 a deficit where it's like it's a two toes down 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.840 that they're gonna fight until the end of the game 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:20.760 until you force them to quit. 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:21.440 Yeah, no question. 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.480 If you go out there and it's seventeen to ten 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.559 in the fourth quarter like it was last week, you 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.600 gonna have a fight on your hands. I mean, regardless 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.040 of what's going on, you're gonna have a fight on hands. 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.600 It's like you said, it's a division game. Sam Howe, 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.760 he's such a rollercoaster this year, Like he said, one 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.080 day he's looking like Pat Mahomes. The next day he's 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.480 looking like my guy Gilbert out there. So when you 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.920 go at it like that, this team has the weapons 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.000 on the outside, Like there's no slouches in their skill 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.720 group from wide receiver one, the tight end one to 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.079 the running backs. They got the skill position to go there. 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:50.880 Like I was talking about a couple days ago, I 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.480 just think they're one quarterback away from really competing in 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.760 the NFC East. But when you talk about it, if 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.640 Sam how comes in here on his game, which we 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.280 all know he's capable of doing, he can are you 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.080 a bit. And these weapons on the outside can do 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.480 your damage. I'm not worried about you know Bland on 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.960 his you know Alan over there, Gilly on his Islan 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:08.880 over there. I think they can hold it down no 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.360 matter who's going out there against those guys. But like 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.000 we talked about yesterday, that interior part you're talking about 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:18.800 the slot receiver, tight end, Gibson, out the backfield, Robinson, 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.280 Brian Robinson out the backfield as well. They can cause 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.160 you damage. They can cause you damage out. So so 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.720 that's the matchup. I'm looking forward to the inside, the numbers, 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.160 the slot receivers, the tight ends, the running backs. Can 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.000 that defense for the Cowboys handle that which we we've 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.079 seen in the past. They can do, But they're also 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.600 susceptible to some runs up the gut, So we'll see 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.880 how how much the enemy sticks with the running game 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.439 because we know he's a past happy guy and that 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.000 will fault right into Dan Quinn's lap. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:46.720 Jayron Kurse some Mike McCarthy today talked about if he 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.080 if he can go today, then then he go, then 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.160 he'll he'll go tomorrow. But he said if he's not 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:53.680 going to that, it's pretty much telling you everything you 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.360 need over So, yeah, Jayron Kurse may not play tomorrow 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.960 and and so that'll have to to make their adjustments 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.319 from there, but that there's a player that could could 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:05.880 be out against. 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.160 He's your tight end guys, usually the guy that's going 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.400 down there, pressing, locking up on these tight ends. So 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.520 you know that opens the door for I think it 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.520 was in there at Jane Thomas. Might you might get 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:15.440 some reps in there. 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:15.800 I haven't seen. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:20.400 I'm not sure is Onuamo Onamo then you've got yeah, 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:21.760 so some guys in there. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:22.839 Basically I'm looking for. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.680 Thomas at that point toime see what he can do, 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.120 and I think he's got I think he's got a. 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:27.160 Good future for the Cowboys. 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.160 Were to look at one of these pieces, Okay, look 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.079 here here's the guy that we can can look towards. 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.960 So it's it's it's not gonna be easy, man, but 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.240 but it should. It should be a Cowboy victory. I'm 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.280 counting on the Cowboys to win this. I just I 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.800 just think it's gonna take a little longer than folks thinking. 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.440 You know, it's National Football League. 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.760 It took longer than it should have took taken last week. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:47.600 You take the. 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.800 Penalties out, Yeah, I mean that's a that's a big swing. 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.840 Yeah, And give me your thoughts on it. 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.640 So last week and this this is just a touch 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.120 on last week with how the offense look against the 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:03.000 Carolina Panthers versus how they look against the Giants. Do 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.080 you feel confident right? Because we were looking for time 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.720 proof and consistency of like what you saw against the Giants, 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.000 can you then mirror that against another team who has 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.760 one win, who shouldn't even be in the game, and 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.480 then carry that on through the rest of the season 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.760 based off what you saw against the Carolina Panthers. Is 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.840 that time proof and consistency building? Or do you feel 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:23.800 like we took a step back. 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.960 There were two things that stood out to me, go 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.040 back to the division game. The secrets they knew what 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:31.920 to do. You just know what the Giants, you know, 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:33.439 you've already played him here and now you got the 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.360 Beato out there day. They were ready to go. They knew, 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.200 they knew all that they could do. So I think 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.800 that that's that's a difference. On the road, they are 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.640 a different team. I mean, there's just no doubt about 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.080 the Cowboys or a different different team on the road. 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:52.320 And just our offense, I think as a team over 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.120 there because I played. 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.320 Well because the way they were giving up the RUMs 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:57.199 and they were running on them. 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.120 Yeah, I don't think. I don't think we've been able 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.480 to stop the run. For the last couple of years. 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.280 We still haven't settled on like hey we have into 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:04.040 your defensive line. 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.480 You mother just got something. 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.760 So yeah, so that that was, like I said, okay, 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:15.719 so and and look and the Panthers had they had 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.120 a bye week, they made some change. 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:19.320 They truly. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.320 I mean they heard all week long, man, because I 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.160 was I was listening to Carolina Radio. We all talk 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:25.560 about this game on Monday and the slaughter I don't 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:26.920 saying no way they can win. I mean all they 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.640 heard all week long is you about to go get 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.680 sacrificed on the spike And and and that. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.720 Was you guys played you hear it? So they came out. 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.120 Ready to like you're about to be on the fence 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:38.120 with Joe because you ate. 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.280 But but but for me, the run game concerned me, 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.080 like you play somebody, good man. This is you know, 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.160 you sitting up here in a fight with these guys 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.600 and they're running on you unconcerned. And I've just said, 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.960 like I said somebody before, you can't win the super Bowl. 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:52.680 You can't even get to a super Bowl if you 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.040 can't stop the run. And this is still a concern 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.920 for me. And if I'm Washington, I'm trying to figure 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:58.880 out how do we run this football? How do we 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.360 keep that Cowboys Cowboys offense off the field. And then 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:06.440 you start to say to yourself, can you beat the 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.080 elite teams in the league. That's the question for the Cowboys. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.200 Yes you can beat the Carolina Panthers. Yes you can 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.400 beat Washington. Can you beat Philly? Can you beat San Francisco? 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.480 The teams that you're looking at here that have the 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.040 ability to go to book right now, you have to 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:23.520 say no. You have to say no. So it's it 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:25.840 ain't good offensively. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.680 What do you feel because I feel like I may 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.520 be on the island by myself and then and that's okay, 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:30.960 you're talking. 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.720 About the past. 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.280 So we talked about coming out of the Giants game. 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.840 Nobody really felt better about it, but we did feel like, 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:39.720 hey man, we opened up a few things by getting 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:43.200 Brandon Cooks involved making sure that he was getting enough 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:44.960 targets to be impactful in the game. 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:46.280 And we're like, okay, hey man, if. 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:47.760 You go continue to do this with a guy like 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.000 Brandon Cooks to make sure that you have all these 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.840 weapons and you putting that on tape for future teams 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.880 that you're gonna play, then we feel better about how 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.400 we are moving into the moving through the season. And 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.080 then you get into the Carolina Panthers and your office 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.880 when you move and score score some points. But it 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.240 didn't look like like the beat down that I thought 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.240 it was gonna be, or at least the players that 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.840 I thought were gonna stand out to continue that momentum 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:11.960 of moving they didn't. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.040 They didn't stand out. There. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.440 There was no buck fifty for CD Lamb and take it. No, 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.400 it wasn't that. It wasn't it wasn't that. But I 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.800 also just from telling you just for me, the feeling 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.920 I got out of it was just man, them dudes 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:23.840 came over there to fight. 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:24.720 Man, it's we'd at home. 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:26.920 You all got the crowd up here by talking trash back, 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.600 I'm gonna least stand here fight. And they fought until 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.360 they couldn't couldn't do it anymore. And I think that 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.640 Washington is going We're going to I anticipate this Washington 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.560 game of being the same kind. They're gonna fight you. 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:39.960 They're just not gonna roll over for I mean, this 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.400 is you know, everybody right say any more East Carolina. 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.760 You know, even though they're not good, I expect the 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.800 Cowboys win. But I think the I think Washington will fight. 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.040 Because if you look at it, when you look at 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.920 the Washington weapons, they got the ability to even if 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.840 they're down ten points, fourteen points, they can strike back 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.360 quick as heck. If you look at you know what 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.080 the teams that the Cowboys have played so far and 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.360 have you know, have got a dub against you look 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:05.840 at the you know, the Giants, we all know what 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.520 they're That outfit is the Patriots, Mac Jones and them 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.159 was terrible. The Jets, I mean Chargers, we all know 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.119 what they're doing. Out West, which is is nothing. So 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.000
