Speaker 1: brought to you by Jigsaw Dating, the official dating partner

00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys. Love the jacket for those that

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: are listening and can't see it, that's a swaggy, little

9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: like letterman varsity jacket from the team. I was gonna say,

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: I should have brought mine down too, and this week

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: could have been the sober white. I bought it last

12
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: year for the white out for the fortnight is a game,

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: so I'll just keep for decoration. I guess I should

14
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: sage it. I like that sage it look right? Yeah?

15
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: Why are you bringing that in if it was such

16
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: a bad match. It's apropos that one of their most

17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: heavily penalized games, particularly the postseason, comes off a week

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: where they were heavily penalized against the Giants. We talked

19
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: enough about penalties yesterday. I was like, don't get me

20
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: started penalties have been an issue for the Cowboys this year, ladies,

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: but also run defense. It's really truly been an Achilles

22
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: hill for them. And the reason why I think opposing

23
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: teams have had a lot of success running the ball

24
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys is because the Cowboys have such a

25
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: formidable pass rush that when you've got one, I think

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: that's performing at an elite level. Their number one in

27
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: the league in terms of pass rush. You have three

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: guys that have five sacks or more forty five sacks

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: a team, which is insane. Something's got to give, right,

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: So it's where do you find the balance, Right. It's

31
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: almost like we're talking about the Cowboys offense last year

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: when the passing game was through the roof. You had

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: each receiver what a thousand yards receiving, and then we

34
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: looked at the run game and it was an emix.

35
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: So I think it goes back to complimentary football, complimentary defense. Right.

36
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: The Cowboys had one of the worst run defenses heading

37
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: into that Vikings game. They were twenty ninth in the league,

38
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: which is incredible. I mean that was coming off that

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: NASA Packers game, Right, But let's talk about where they

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: are now. They've made tiny stripes. There's no moral victories,

41
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: but they're gone from twenty nine to twenty fourth. I thought,

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: what was impressive. And again we talked about after the

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: Vikings game. I said, I don't know if that was

44
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: a good indication of whether they had fixed the run defense.

45
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: Because they put up so many points forty points to

46
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: just their three, it was hard for them to establish

47
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: the run. But in that one they had Dalvin Cook

48
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: eleven carry seventy two yards. Then let's talk about last week,

49
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: which I think was a better indicator of this run defense,

50
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: particularly with Daniel Jones and what he could do with

51
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: his legs. Sae Quon Barkley Saquon Barkley thirty nine yards,

52
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: eleven carries. He did find the end zone once. But

53
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: that led me to ask the question to Micah Parsons,

54
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: has no run game been fixed? And his answer to

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: me was, we will see this week. So, ladies, I

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: want to pose the question you you guys have been

57
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: watching the games, you watch the film, do you think

58
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: they figured out the run game? Whoever wants to ask

59
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: answer this one first, go for it. I don't think

60
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: that there's an immediate fix for something like that. I

61
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: think that's something that you're going to see within time,

62
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: within these next few weeks. Especially. What I think is

63
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: very interesting though, is Layton Vanderesh and how he particularly

64
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: has stepped up to help alleviate the run game and

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: really shut it down early. And the tackling. That's something

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: I really wanted to mention in terms of the defense

67
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: in general. I think what I've had, what I have

68
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: noticed these last couple of weeks is instead of tackling forward,

69
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: they're tackling down and they're not giving that extra yardage,

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: which any yards matter when it comes to this game

71
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: as we know. So I don't necessarily think we know yet.

72
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: I think it's a big question mark still, but I

73
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: think it's on the right track if they continue to

74
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: just play the basics of football, tackle well, and stick

75
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: to their jobs and stick to their tasks like we

76
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: talked about. So I think it's still to be determined,

77
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: but I do think with Jonathan Taylor this week, we

78
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: are definitely going to find out if that rundy is

79
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: fixed or not. I think it goes back to a

80
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: few weeks ago when Mike McCarthy was speaking about the

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: pass rush being a privilege and you're able to pass

82
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: rush whenever you're able to defend the run well. And

83
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: so for me, while it's not necessarily an immediate fix,

84
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: the thing that all of these guys, when you ask

85
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: them how do you fix the run defense, they all

86
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: say the same thing. We all have to do our jobs.

87
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: We all have to do our assignments. I mean, MALIEK.

88
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: Cooker told us out on Monday during Cowboys Hour because

89
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: I asked him point blank, how do you fix that?

90
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: Everyone talks about fixing the run defense? How do you

91
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: fix that? And he's just said, and I think we

92
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: talked about this too. You know, it takes one guy

93
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: to mess everything up. And so a heavy emphasis from

94
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: what I've gathered from the guys in the locker room

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: is just that they've been watching the film. They've been

96
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: really nailing down on making sure that they're not doing

97
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: too much, being too big, not being you know, getting

98
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: in their other teammates way, just focusing on what they

99
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: can do. And I mean, I've got to give them credit.

100
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: It was tough after that Vikings game, because you thought, well,

101
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: they smacked the Vikings, and so it was really challenging

102
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: to evaluate anything other than how well the offense performed

103
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: in that game. So then we said, all right, well

104
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: let's see if they do it against the Giants, and

105
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: then they held take one Barkley to what thirty nine

106
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: yards on eleven carries. So I mean it's tough because yes,

107
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: there was a run defense issue, for sure, I'm not

108
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: negating that, but I just kind of feel like they

109
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: got out of their own way. They've talked about that

110
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: a lot this week too, just getting out of their

111
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: own way, and I think Jonathan Taylor posing that offensive

112
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: running game threat again, you'll get the opportunity to see,

113
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, how much they've continued to improve on doing

114
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: the little things correctly. Absolutely, and to your point, one

115
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: of the more important things that I thought that they

116
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: did well was actually defend Daniel Jones well, because that's

117
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: something that the Cowboys have had trouble with with mobile quarterbacks.

118
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: I also, too, want to talk about how much the patient,

119
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: how much patience it takes to earn the pass rush

120
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: when you know teams teams are almost one dimensional coming

121
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: into this game because they don't want to pass on you.

122
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: So I think that's also something I'm trying to keep

123
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: in mind when we think about the rush defense. Is

124
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: that if a team has no other option or the

125
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: only way that they see success is through running, it's

126
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna be that's that's what they're focusing on. So I

127
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: also think that for the players, a lot of it

128
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: is just being patient and waiting for that time when

129
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: that team may just run the ball. Run the ball

130
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: because they don't know what else, they don't want to

131
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: do anything else. But also you also got a lot

132
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: of run support this pass game from your dbs. They

133
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: came up and were willing to help contain the edge,

134
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: close off the edge. I think dron Bland had a

135
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: couple of plays the safeties, the cornerbacks. It's a collective effort,

136
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: and that's something that you hadn't seen in the past

137
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks as well, is that those corners felt

138
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: like they were attacking the edges. Teams were attacking the edges,

139
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: and one of the reasons they were doing it was

140
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: because your corners and your safeties were not coming up

141
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: and tackling them. Me and physical is making a difference

142
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: in the run game as well, and I definitely think

143
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: this week they are going to commit to running the ball,

144
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: particularly when you look at some of the struggles that

145
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: this offensive line has had for the Colts questions about

146
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: the arm strength of Matt Ryan. He's not a dual

147
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: threat quarterback. This is not a guy that's kind of

148
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: use his legs at thirty seven. Even though we heard

149
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn saying he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. He's

150
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: the ultimate competitor. Sure, he's gotten the team to a

151
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl before, but I just think he's I mean,

152
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: there was a reason he was benched twice this season, right,

153
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: And so when we talk about there are other weapons.

154
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: We talked to Lara Overton about this yesterday. They have

155
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior to consider if they want to go

156
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: out and do something with their passing game. But I

157
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: think Jonathan Taylor is really their offensive weapon. But still

158
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: she mentioned this yesterday. The Jonathan Taylor that they're dealing

159
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: with this season is not the Jonathan Taylor that we

160
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: saw last season. In fact, I think he's only got

161
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: two one hundred yard games this season compared too. Yeah,

162
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: I think last year had seven. Let me double double

163
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: double check that. So I'm not giving you guys bad

164
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: information around the water cooler. I would hate that. I

165
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: hate free to be quoting me and I'm wrong. Yeah.

166
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: So he had ten games in twenty twenty one, most

167
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL of one hundred or more rushing yards,

168
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: and like I said, he's well, he's only had one one,

169
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: only had one hundred rushing yard games into this year.

170
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: So again I think he's he's a threat you have

171
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: to be mindful of. It was Micah Parsons who described

172
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: him as a light Derek Henry. But you've done a

173
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: little bit more research on Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, what should

174
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Cowboy fans know about the opponent this week? Well, aside

175
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: from his acceleration, his ability to really take off, I

176
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: think one thing to really note about him is that

177
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: he can run through those arm tackles. So that's why

178
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: I think tackling is going to be put to the

179
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: test this week, specifically with Jonathan Taylor, because when he

180
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: has that power, oh, he's going and he's going far.

181
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: So you mentioned he has two one hundred yard games.

182
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: One of them actually came Week one against the Texans.

183
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: He had one hundred and sixty one yards, touching the

184
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: ball thirty one times during that game. He was averaging

185
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: only about five point two yards a carry, which isn't

186
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: bad when you consider the positive yardage that comes with that.

187
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 1: His longest run that week was seventeen yards. Now you

188
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: jump again to Week seven, his second to one hundred

189
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: yard rushing game one hundred and forty seven yards, touched

190
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: the ball twenty two times. He averaged six point seven

191
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: yards a carry that week. His longest run, it was

192
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: the longest run of the season so far during that

193
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: game was sixty six yards and he took off that

194
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: man has some jets. Oh my goodness, I was watching

195
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: that play. Yeah, contain those edges. That's all I can

196
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: really say for the Cowboys defense on that one. And

197
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: then after that you see a little bit of a dip.

198
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: His third best game this season, he only had eighty

199
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: six yards. Considering he touched the ball twenty times, average

200
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: four point three yards a carry. Longest run that week

201
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: was thirteen yards. So again you're not seeing the number

202
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: five in the NFL Top one hundred Jonathan Taylor that

203
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: you saw last season. But he is still a threat,

204
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: especially on those edges. I think, if anything, the Cowboys

205
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: defense is going to be tested early with seeing how

206
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: much they can seal up those edges. And again, the

207
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: tackling is going to be huge. You have to tackle

208
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: him down. There's no if a's or butts about it.

209
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor will break through those arms. And with all

210
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: of these games that I went back and watched film

211
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: on him, that's what you see. You see him just

212
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: pushing and trucking along. He wears defenses out quickly and

213
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: he is a very special player. When he is hot.

214
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: He is hot. I want to piggyback off of that

215
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: really quick because it's so interesting because yesterday when we

216
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: were in here, I was talking about how this game

217
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: gives me, like Giants five two point zero. To Ish's point,

218
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, the Giants at least had the added luxury

219
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: of having Daniel Jones being mobile as a quarterback. I

220
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: think the Colts rank twenty fifth in their rushing offense.

221
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: And to me, you know, just to your point, Jess,

222
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: it kind of bodes to the point like you shut

223
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: down Jonathan Taylor, what else can this team really do?

224
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: Because you've got to force Matt Ryan to throw. He's

225
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: the most sacked quarterback in the NFL. So it just

226
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: circling it coming full circle. You know, when we talk

227
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: about how do we see the run defense find success?

228
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: You shut down Jonathan Taylor, and then you see that

229
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: pass rush privilege on full display, because now we've got

230
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan throwing where he gets. I mean, they literally have.

231
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: When we talk about tough offenses, let's go down the

232
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: list twenty six and total offense thirtieth, and scoring twenty fifth,

233
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: and rushing eighteenth, and passing twentieth and third down last

234
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: and sax tied for last, and turnovers twenty ninth in

235
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: the red zone, twenty ninth in big plays, twenty seventh

236
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: in yards play and by the way, you're going up

237
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: against a seventh ranked defense, second in scoring, first in passing,

238
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: fifth and third downs, first in sacks, tied for seventh,

239
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: and turnover verse. It could be a rough day in

240
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: office for the four seven and one colts that have

241
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday, which we're going to get into just kind

242
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: of our thoughts on that in our next block. On paper,

243
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys should have handily have this. What concerns me

244
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: a little bit, ladies, is we talked about after the

245
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: bye week, the Cowboys shouldn't be the Packers who were

246
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: coming off five straight losses. Now, Matt Ryan is no

247
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, but they didn't have a lot of weapons

248
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, including the team, were

249
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: shot at the egg that they laid. And when we

250
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: hear Mike McCarthy talk yesterday that it wasn't their best

251
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: practice that you know, it's like he gives these guys

252
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: the time off, which I think they appreciate, but I

253
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes they come back from these long breaks

254
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: it's like we keep talking about, you know, again going

255
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: back to the penalties, the issue has been the focus.

256
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: We talked about the run defense, the issues, the focus.

257
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: If you're going to fix those things you and Dak

258
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: has talked about, you've got to do those little things

259
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: in practice. There's only so much he can do with people.

260
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: They're away from the facility, they have families, they have wives, etc.

261
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: When they're in the building, the focus has to be there.

262
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: And when you hear the coach say practice wasn't really

263
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: what you want or you were all concerned by that, well,

264
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad that he's being transparent about it because I'm

265
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: sure that's something that happens within the NFL often, is that,

266
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes the practice showing isn't great. But good

267
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: for him for holding them accountable and talking about it.

268
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: And it sounds like he called them out and they

269
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: came to a better resolution. I believe that somebody asked

270
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: about how practice was today, and it seemed like it

271
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: was better energy and stuff. But as far as as

272
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: far as what's going on with them and them having

273
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: the time off, I think it's a it's a hard

274
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: balance to find, like you were saying, because these guys

275
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: do need time away from their family. Mike McCarthy's very

276
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: big on them getting the time to kind of recharge

277
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: and stuff. But then also you mentioned, like how do

278
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: you keep guys locked in during that time? He mentioned

279
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: some virtual stuff as well though, in going that route

280
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: while they are away. But I see what you're saying

281
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: in regard to them not being focused. And it's also

282
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: week thirteen and it's a four seven and one colts team.

283
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to get up for, I think

284
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: an AFC opponent. Yeah, you know, it's easy for them

285
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: to lock in when it's the Vikings. They've got to

286
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: prove themselves after the Packers game. But you really thought

287
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: they should have gotten up for the Packers. I mean,

288
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: it was Mike McCarthy's return home game. It was, like

289
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: I said, it was they beat themselves that game, right,

290
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: it was an and you just you hope that on

291
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: a Sunday night football. Can you imagine what that would

292
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: do to the locker room? They don't get just what

293
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: how many Sunday Nights game did I played? Sunday Night games?

294
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: Did I played? This year? It's the second one. Beside

295
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: the second one they had the Bucks the first week.

296
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: It's just but it's also sort of get long in

297
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: the tooth and the season. It's week thirteen, it's exhausting. Well,

298
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: they had the Sunday night game with the Bucks in

299
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: week one. Didn't they have another one though? Much ripen Barnacles. No,

300
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm thinking Thursday night too. Is what anything has showed

301
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: us these last couple of weeks with this Cowboys team

302
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: is surprise, surprise, they're human. That that illness that's going

303
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: around the locker room, which we learned from Mike McCarthy today,

304
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: is multiple things. He wouldn't spend sufy on what exactly

305
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: it was. But you're also seeing human, the human side

306
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: within these players if they get sick, and you know,

307
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: I know for me personally, when I'm sick, it's hard

308
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: for me to recover and I'm not out there putting

309
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: my body on the line playing football. These men are

310
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: and they have to still get up. They still have

311
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: to come to work. This is their job. And so

312
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we're seeing a lot of that

313
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: spreading throughout the locker room. But also I think it

314
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: could be this this week off, this mini buy if

315
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: you will, is a good reset for that in itself,

316
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: because when you're sick, it takes your body a little

317
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: bit to bounce back. And you know, for them who

318
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: have to go out and play physical, I can't even

319
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: imagine how much harder that is for them. So it's

320
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. You play your best football. And so yeah,

321
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: December footballs here. That's why the guys got to stay focused.

322
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: They've got to show up. Like I said, on paper,

323
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: we've seen the lines continuously move in the Cowboys direction

324
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: ahead of this game this week, so we'll see how

325
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: they step up. We enjoyed talking about the Titans yesterday

326
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: and some of the nicknames that they had. Hayley, I

327
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: know you've got this awesome sit down with Peyton Henter

328
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: shot that we want to get into, but I also

329
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: want to talk about just defensively the Colts while we

330
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: talk about their offenses, is pretty rough. Their passing defense

331
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: is fifth in the league. So how we see the

332
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys Titans, because we've seen them throw out four titans

333
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: on the field. I think they're four tight ends sets

334
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: as result in three touchdowns this season. How that matches

335
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: up with what the Colts are going to field on

336
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: the field on the defensive side of the ball. We'll

337
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: have that plus a discussion about Jeff Saturday has doing

338
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: a lot of delegating as the interim coach. Did Mike

339
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: do any of that when he came to Dallas. We'll

340
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: kick that idea around here in a little bit. This

353

382
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: talk about the Cowboys tight ends. As I referenced ahead

383
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: at the break, there was a period in Dallas where

384
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: Jason Witten was your loan titan here and the building

385
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: and talking a couple of my sources, when Jason went

386
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: and decided to come out of retirement come back, had

387
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: the buildings split a little bit because they liked the

388
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: development of Blake Jarwin, and they liked the development of

389
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. And I can't name too many other Titans

390
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: other than maybe Gavin Escobar that really stand out to

391
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: me in recent years. Jeff Swains another one. Good name.

392
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: But these guys have become so memorable so quick, and

393
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: some of that has to do with their personality, but

394
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: I think the other aspect of it is this their production. Again,

395
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 1: what was the little note that I had written out here? Yeah,

396
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: they've done. And when we talk about their tight end play,

397
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: each has played in twenty three percent of their snaps.

398
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: Against the Giants, they had four tight ends in seven

399
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: plays this season and that resulted in three touchdowns. Thanks

400
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: to Edward or Over at ESPN, I saw that fun

401
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: little note. So these guys are not only memorable for

402
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: their personalities, but for their performance this year. And Peyton

403
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: Hendershot has really stood out to you thanks to a

404
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: sit down you got to do. And I want to

405
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: plug that you said that that drops when the full

406
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: interview drops on Saturday. I did put a fun little

407
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: nugget up today. Peyton told me a story about his

408
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: draft journey was nuts. He thought he was going to

409
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: get drafted. They drafted his boy Jake instead, So when

410
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: they actually came here, like Peyton couldn't stand Jake, which

411
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: is just think is so funny because now they're inseparable.

412
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: But he talked about how he pretty much negotiated a

413
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: deal with the Chiefs so he was going to play

414
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes Lunda Wells gave McCall and said, come

415
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: be my guy, like I will coach you, and so

416
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: the deal was done. He told Andy Reid never mind,

417
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: so imagine but real quick, can you imagine? No, I

418
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: don't want to go play with a guy like Patrick

419
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes or that's why I say, and then a guy

420
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: like Travis Kelcey. Mean, both of these guys are future

421
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: Hall of Famers, and you're saying, I would rather go

422
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: to Dallas, who hasn't won anything since nineteen ninety five,

423
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: and it already feels like it's a full tight end room.

424
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: It was just interesting too, because you can tell he's

425
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: coming from just such a place of humility. He talked

426
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: about growing up, coming where he came from to be

427
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: in this position. He couldn't There were so many moments

428
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: in the interview where he just kind of stopped and

429
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: was like, I'm just so grateful for this opportunity. And

430
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: so when you think about when you put together what

431
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: he's been able to do, because he's not your highest

432
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: producing tight end from a statistical standpoint, but he does.

433
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: We talked about it yesterday. He draws a lot away,

434
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: he's fast, he can be a deep threat if you

435
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: need him to be. He can run the ball in

436
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: like he did on Thursday. But it was just so

437
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: intricate and so detailed the way he's just so passionate

438
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: about being tight end for the Dallas Cowboys. And to

439
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: your point, Jane, like you said, we haven't really seen

440
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: that in a while. Jason Witten is the only one

441
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: that comes amound when I think about that. True, I'm

442
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: a Dallas Cowboys tied end through and through, and so

443
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: I love that about our conversation. Like I said, I

444
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: loved the Chiefs comment. But something he's come from. When

445
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: you talk about his background, did he get into that

446
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: at all with you as far as like growing up, Yeah, no,

447
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: he just he mentioned a little bit about, you know,

448
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: like growing up was tough. So I am at I

449
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: didn't want to dig too much in that specific interview,

450
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: just because those are meant to be a little bit

451
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: more lighthearted. But I know he comes from Indiana. He's

452
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: mentioned to me before in the locker room too, like,

453
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, just growing up was a little bit tough

454
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: for him. So I don't know the type of background

455
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: or what he grew up. And from a family standpoint,

456
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: I know family is very important to him. But that

457
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: just kind of goes playing into that chip on his

458
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: shoulder that he has. He talked about how when the

459
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: draft process was playing out and he didn't get that

460
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: called my favorite SoundBite he said of the whole day.

461
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: He said, you know, this is something that I've been

462
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: looking forward to for my whole life. It was the

463
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: one thing that I had circled where I said, I'm

464
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: going to do this and I thought I was going

465
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: to go out and do it. So to not hear

466
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: my name called on draft night it broke him, you know.

467
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: And you don't hear that a lot from these guys.

468
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: And I resonate with that because I was to walk

469
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: on in college, so that hits close to home because

470
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: you want to play a little harder, you have a

471
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: little bit more to prove. But when he came here,

472
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: he was like I didn't talk to anybody. I put

473
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: my head down and I just went to work. I

474
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: didn't want to be friends with anybody because this is

475
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: what I had to prove. And so just to knowing

476
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: that now, knowing that, you know, six seven months ago,

477
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: whenever he was coming in to rookie minicamp and OTAs

478
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: and all of that, that that was his mentality, and

479
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: then seeing how far he has now developed to being

480
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: the guy he is. And what I loved about the

481
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: way he spoke was everything that he said when it

482
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: came to his production or his role in that room

483
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: is to help the others be successful. He talked about

484
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: how if he would have been drafted instead of Jake,

485
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: Jake wouldn't be in Dallas, and he was like, everything

486
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: happened for a reason, and you know, so that's just

487
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: how it played out. He talked about how, you know,

488
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: when I go out on the field, my role is

489
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: to you know, stop the defense as much as possible

490
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: so the other guys can be successful. And I just

491
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: I finished editing it today. I wish it could drop today,

492
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: but they always drop on Sunday's first and ten. But yeah,

493
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: it was, honest to God, one of my absolute favorite

494
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: interviews I've done in his energy, Like he's just so personable.

495
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited for the full thing to drop.

496
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: We're excited. I love fans and they I love pieces

497
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: like that because there are just certain guys that we

498
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: constantly go to, particularly the NFL network when we do

499
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: a postgame interview. I had actually said I want to

500
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: grab Jake Ferguson or Peyton Hendershot, but most national audience

501
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: doesn't really care. Of course, we had Ezekiel Elliot instead,

502
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: who gave me some great stuff. But I find myself

503
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: it reminds me of Dion sand which just to be

504
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: on NFL net work and it was if you ball,

505
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: you get the call? Yeah, postgame show and I was

506
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: covering the Saints and Michael Thomas had this like breakout game.

507
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: He lost his shoe in the game and there was

508
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: like this great story about the reason why he lost

509
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: his shoe was they always get his shoe size wrong

510
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: and so he typically plays with a shoe that doesn't

511
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: always fit. And I had said to Dion, do you

512
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: want Michael Thomas And he was like nah, And I

513
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: was like, I went up to Michael Thomas. I was like,

514
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: you balled to get my call, and so it's like

515
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: and then you see Michael Thomas obviously end up with

516
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: his ridiculous Now he hasn't done much in the last

517
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: two years with the Saints, but I always love when

518
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: you get those guys early on and people don't know

519
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: them yet, sharing their stories. And Michael Thomas was obviously

520
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: a lot of higher in the draft coming out of

521
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: Ohio State. But I loved the little unsung hero guys

522
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: like Peyton and Jake. Yeah, and I love the two.

523
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: Brought up Jake too when I walked over to because

524
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: we always bring him over here to our studios, and

525
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: I went over to get Peyton. This is how much

526
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: I can tune him and Jake are. Jake assumed that

527
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: he was coming with us. He's like, oh, like, do

528
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: I need to get dressed too? And I was like, no, Jake,

529
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: not everything is about you. Like today, we're gonna let

530
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: Peyton shine a little bit. So it's just it's really

531
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: fun to just see how they play off of one

532
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: of the playoff of one another. It's and I know

533
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: we're going to kind of get into how this tight

534
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: end room, you know, goes against the Colts defense, but

535
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: kind of to what I was talking about earlier in

536
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: the week. They all have such a specific role within

537
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: that room, and the way that they have just bought

538
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: into that being what they do best, I think is

539
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: the most impressive part, especially given that you know, three

540
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: of the four are pretty new to the NFL. So

541
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: to be able to step in to make big plays,

542
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: to just be just goofy funny. I mean, they are

543
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: truly a joy on the field, off the field, wherever

544
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: it is. I would love to like just hang out

545
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: with them for like outside of this building. Credit to

546
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: what coach Wells has done with that thing, like what

547
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: he's been able to create in that group. And I

548
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen players like Death or Zeke

549
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: light up about Titans like that, because Dalton is very

550
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: different personality wise. I mean, granted he's a little bit older,

551
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: but I remember even Dalton being like the number two

552
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: guy when Blake was the guy before he got injured.

553
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: But I do think that this is creating a situation

554
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, particularly, it's all tight end. When we

555
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: talk about finding money for OBJ. You've got treyvon Dix

556
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: coming up. You got to renegotiate Dak's contract at some point.

557
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: I don't know where Dalton fits into the puzzle here,

558
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: and I could see him very easily going somewhere else

559
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: looking for a tight end because they're gonna be able

560
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: to pay him, whereas the Cowboys are gonna say, we've

561
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: got an embarrassment of riches in that room right now,

562
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: why are we going to do a long term deal?

563
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: And I know Stephen Jones talked about they had tried

564
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: in good faith to get it done. I just wonder

565
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: if Dalton Schultz now kind of wishes maybe he did.

566
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: But if he's not gonna get paid here, Dalton's gonna

567
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: get paid somewhere. Somebody asks you back to back touchdowns

568
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: in this game for the Cowboys against the Giants. Yeah,

569
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: and even you talked about like the tight end room,

570
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: Sean McKellen like he's been he's actually been around for

571
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: some of the up and down and you can just

572
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: see how comfortable he is in him just being able

573
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: to come in and play his role in blocking and

574
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: being out there. And Yeah, and to go into this week,

575
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna have to do some chipping. They're probably

576
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to come help out because this defensive line

577
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: for the Colts has some guys on it, like they're

578
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to do more obviously in the passing game,

579
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: but they're going to probably have to help out with

580
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: this D line as well. And I think something that's

581
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: really exciting about this tight end group specifically is the

582
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: toolbox it gives Kellen Moore and he loves to use

583
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: the term toolbox, and that's because well, over here you

584
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: have Jake who's just physical, he's a physical player. You

585
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: have Peyton who's fast, and so you have these tight

586
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: ends that can act really as pass pro protection blockers

587
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: and really essentially wide receivers if you need them too,

588
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: because they have this toolbox full of these young tight

589
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: ends that can confuse and wear down defenses. Because same thing,

590
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: like we talked about a couple of weeks ago with

591
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard really stepping up as he has, you don't

592
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: know what you're getting when Tony Pollard's on the field.

593
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: But same thing with this tight end group. You don't

594
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: know what you're getting. You don't know if Jake is

595
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: going to sit there and block you out, or if

596
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: he's going to run down the field and he's gonna

597
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: hurdle you, hurdle you I mean, you don't listen, you

598
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: don't know, and I think, yeah, telling me yesterday how

599
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: in the Giants game wanted hurdle the defender and they

600
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: literally said to Jake or was it Henny say it

601
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: was inbounds, don't try to hurdle. And what did he do?

602
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: He went and tried to hurtle. They pushed him out

603
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: of bounds and they was all men. And anytime you

604
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: can confuse and opposing defense like that, do it. Play

605
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: those mind games and play him up. Because this is

606
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: a great and young tight end room. That's that's the

607
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: best part of it. They're young. They established this kind

608
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: of brotherhood off and on the field. Now, imagine years

609
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: down the road if the Cowboys are able to keep

610
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: all of them. That's that's another conversation for a different day.

611
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: So how do we see them matching up defensively against

612
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: the Colts? How would you utilize them in this one?

613
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: They're going to have? So the Colts linebackers are pretty fast.

614
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: I think the strength of their team right now for

615
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: sure is the second day, Yes, because that's it, I

616
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,239
Speaker 1: mean yeah, I mean, Stefan Gilmore has not given up

617
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: a TV. You got Kenny Moore, the second that is

618
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: not expected to play from what I've seen, he's dealing

619
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: with a leg injury. And but Rodney McCloud's back there

620
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: and he's no joke as well. Like they got some

621
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: guys that can really shut down what you want to

622
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,719
Speaker 1: do against the pass, but as far as and then

623
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: their defensive line can get after it as well. So

624
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: I would definitely be trying to attack some of the

625
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: shallow stuff, some of the you know, just quick hitter stuff, boots, waggles,

626
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: kind of get your guys out on the run and

627
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: get them moving, because this linebacker corps is really good

628
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: coming forward and they're fast. They're fast, they're good against

629
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: the run, but you can't catch them in coverage a

630
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: couple of times. So I think that the Titans will

631
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: have opportunities here this week. I'm having a bit of

632
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: a brain freeze, Hailey. Did we go through the entry

633
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: report when we came out of the break? We did not.

634
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: I was going to get to it at the very

635
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 1: end since we did start with it. But I can

636
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: do it right now. That's not we get into jure

637
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: report because depending on if we're going to be missing

638
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: one of the Cowboys wide receivers to an illness it

639
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: might tie into, and that was exactly going to be

640
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: my transition, so perfect. So injury report today for the Cowboys,

641
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: Treyvon Digs and Michael Gallup both out with an undisclosed illness.

642
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, he refuses to say whether it's COVID. I

643
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: was just getting ready to say that. Yeah, like he

644
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: didn't specify. Yeah, we didn't specify. He did say they've

645
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: been doing some virtual stuff, so I mean at least

646
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: they're still. That gives me hope because you know, that

647
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: means they're still at the very least participating. So we'll

648
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. Anthony Barr was limited again,

649
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 1: but we also got good feedback from Mike on him today.

650
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: I think he said, where did I write that down?

651
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: He looks good, He has a good chance. He had

652
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: a nice day, so that's that. James Washington also had

653
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: a nice day as well too. Jayron Curse was limited

654
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: with his shoulder. I was joking with him in the

655
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: locker room. I told him my mom said he better

656
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: play on Sunday. So Mama sent wants to see twenty

657
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: seven one Sudden Love. She just she randomly asked about it.

658
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: My mom is probably like the biggest football fan I've

659
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: ever met, especially with the Cowboys were very big in

660
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: my household before I started working here. Um, they dictated

661
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: our mood for like the week, and that was very

662
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: indicative of like my mom's personality. So like, yeah, she

663
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving when Marsa, my boyfriend was in town. He

664
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: was at home watching the game with them, and he

665
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: was texting me during the game and he was like,

666
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: your mom, like she loves football, and it's like, yes,

667
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: she does. So we'll see. We'll see. J Ron Cursey's

668
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: battling that shoulder injury, DeMarcus Lawrence limited with a foot injury.

669
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: Terence Steele popped up today. He did not practice for

670
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: personal reasons. So just something to keep an eye out

671
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 1: on as we go into Friday and this weekend. On

672
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball or on the other

673
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: side of yeah, I guess on the other side of

674
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: the ball. The Colts had some guys come back, so

675
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: Binoku was full participant today. I should have practiced. His

676
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: name Kikute it's qt qt qt perfect, quti qt. He

677
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: was full go today. Um who did not practice. Kennymore

678
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: did not practice today, so that's something to be mindful of.

679
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: You were just talking about the secondary um. They had

680
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: a tackle who did not practice, Braden Smith and Jilannie

681
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: Woods did not practice for the second straight days. But

682
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: we had a lot of talk about Gilani yesterday. Yeah,

683
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: and he's actually, if I'm not mistaken there, what did

684
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: you say, Braden Braden Smith? Oh, Kaylin Grandson is their

685
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: starting tight end and oh yeah yeah, Kylan Kylan rather injury.

686
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: It seems like he. I went and did some dig

687
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: and read a couple of articles. Looks like he's on

688
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: the uptick to come back. He was full today, Yeah,

689
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: especially with j would Gilanie not playing. But it's kind

690
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: of a big deal because last game you could tell

691
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: that when Matt, when Matt Ryan was in a bind,

692
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: he was going to Jilani because he's such a big guy.

693
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: He's such a big target. He's easy to see, like

694
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: he's easy to see, he's his catch radius is kind

695
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: of crazy too. So I honestly feel like the Gilani

696
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: loss is kind of big for a guy that's kind

697
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: of scrambling and just trying to see the free guy

698
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: sometimes when he's trying to fire them all. And this

699
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: is tough because He's listed with a shoulder and a quad,

700
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure which one is more limiting when

701
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: it comes to him. I would probably assume the quad,

702
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: just because quad muscles are always so difficult to come

703
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: back from. But yeah, definitely something to pay attens too

704
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: for tomorrow when they send this out. I don't typically

705
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: like to ask people about their personal lives unless they

706
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: volunteer it. But Haley, when we were in the press

707
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: box this weekend, I had a little fun and I

708
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: actually was wondering it because I was going to ask

709
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: you about it. You had said your boyfriend Marcel was

710
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: in town and were obviously at the stadium, busy working,

711
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: and he got sort of a baptism by fire hanging

712
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: out with your family on the couch watching the game.

713
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: How does that mom and dad like him? Oh, mom

714
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: and dad love him. I hope he's listening. He never

715
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: does when I brag about him, But I full disclosure,

716
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: I came from a horrible relationship, so anything Marcel does,

717
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, he is so good. You know what you mean.

718
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: But he is a people person. He works for ESPN.

719
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: For those of you who don't know, he's a Dolphins

720
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: reporter for ESPN Power Couple. Yeah, and he is so

721
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: good with people, and so he had met my mom

722
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: before he actually won her over. He took us to

723
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: Disney World this summer with my niece. Um, so we

724
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: went to Disney World, and so she was sold on

725
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: that exactly. Yeah. How y'all know he didn't put the

726
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: bill on that Disney Yeah. So yeah, so season you

727
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: get like what four passes, yeah, Spring and Fall. Yeah,

728
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: so he had my mom sold from there. But um,

729
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: he really won the respect of my dad because he

730
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: helped me move from Miami to Dallas when I was

731
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: taking way. Yeah, and I mean he planned the whole thing.

732
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: Like I remember, it was like probably like my third

733
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: to last night when I was in Miami. We were

734
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: out at our favorite bar, and um, he randomly was like,

735
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: let's chart this trip. So he like whips out his phone.

736
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: We're like sitting out the bar and he like whips

737
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: out on his phone and he's like, Okay, if we

738
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: leave here and we get to this city, that would

739
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: give us this many hours. And so we like charted

740
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: our trip back Um at the bar, we get home

741
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: and so my dad loved him. But he's a real one. Yeah,

742
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: he's such a people person. He's really well, he's not

743
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: a people person. I shouldn't be saying that he is

744
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: good with people. Um, but yeah, it was fine. Um,

745
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: they were all in a food coma. I do have

746
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: the text confirming that he loved the food and that

747
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: he quote, we'll be back next year, So that is planning.

748
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,479

Speaker 1: to another Thanksgiving. I don't think I've ever had one.

751
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: At forty two years old, I don't think I've had

752
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: one guy and that's in Yeah, I think he's the

753
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: only one. So I mean, like I said, he's just

754
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: he's really good. He's really supportive. He helped me out

755
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: a lot with this job too, because he's been working

756
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He started, um, he was covering the

757

00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: That was his first ESPN job and now he's down

759
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: in Miami, so he's got a lot of experience. Sometimes

Speaker 1: love that. I love that it's working for you. My

767
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: ex husband was a sports reporter too, which is why

768
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: I switched to news. There there couldn't be two sports

769
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: personalities in the household. He's now out of the business,

770
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: and you know, I continued, but he's good too, because

771
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: you've figuring it out. Yeah, he writes. Mostly he does

772
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: do some TV stuff, Like I think it was the

773
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: day whenever he was like on the TV back here,

774
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: and so that's fun. So he usually writes though, So

775
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: it's actually nice because we're yin and yang to where

776
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, like I help him with like the TV stuff,

777
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 1: and then like he helps me with like the football stuff.

778
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: So it's really good balance. That's awesome. Well, you have

779
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: been such a value out around here. I've told you

780
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: this multiple times. Uh, And I think sometimes and this

781
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: isn't all men, but I think that they think that

782
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: we've got guys in our ears telling us how to

783
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: do our job. I love that Marcel's not doing that,

784
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: but he is helping you get better at your job,

785
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: because there are nuances to this. For I'm still learning.

786
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: I constantly go to co workers. I've got questions, you know,

787
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: Like I said, even this week, I'm asking dumb questions

788
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: to Dak and Zeke. Well, why aren't you doing silent celts?

789
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: Great question that it was like, well, I think you

790
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: were eating admitting football and then thought he was like

791
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: when I see your last And then in the locker

792
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: room too, when he went up to you, he was like, no, wait,

793
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: that was actually a really good point, like he was

794
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: sitting on it for a while. I love just Zeke

795
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 1: and Dak period this year just feel more relaxed, yeah,

796
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: with themselves and with those in this in the media.

797
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: Not like they haven't, but just I feel like they've

798
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: really sort of grown into their own this year. Haven't

799
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: been with them since they're rook year. So I love.

800
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: I love to see it for both guys. But I love,

801
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: like I said, we get these opportunities. I'm going to

802
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: ask you about your family because I know they're huge

803
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: Cowboy fans, and I also love about your military background

804
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: and the fact that you were a quasi mom for

805
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, I love your heart. So I

806
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: want people to also get to know you guys on

807
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: a personal level, because as I noticed with radio, when

808
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: they're listening to you every day, they come to you

809
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: for the information, but then they also feel like they

810
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: start to get to know you, and so they stay

811
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: bought in when they feel like we open up a

812
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 1: little bit. So thank you for sharing. I know. Oh yeah,

813
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: and these girls know too, Like anytime I get a

814
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 1: chance to talk about him, we always tell her too.

815
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: When she takes pictures with him, she has this like

816
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: beautiful glowy smile. It is the cutest thing she goes.

817
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: I know it's cheesy and like, no own it. It is,

818
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: so don't mess up. Will come for you. All right,

819
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: We're gonna take our second and final break, but when

820
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: we come back, we are going to have a past

821
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,959
Speaker 1: interference for you and I also I'm going to pivot

822
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: for you girls. And now we're gonna talk a little

823
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: bit more about the Colts defense. But I think we

824
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: got into in that break. Let's talk a little bit

825
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: about jes Saturday and this whole delegation thing that he's

826
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 1: doing since becoming the interim head coach for the Colts,

827
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: and whether Mike has done that at this point in

828
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: his career or not since coming to the Cowboys. We'll

829
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: have that more on the other side of the break

830
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: at Jigsaw Dating. We obviously want the Cowboys to bring

831
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: that sixth ring home, but to be honest, we're more

832
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: focused on finding the person whole. Put a ring on

Speaker 1: to my dad at the end. I'm sorry to do

868
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: it for the dads. Okay, let's talk a little bit

869
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: about Jess Saturday. For those that aren't familiar, he's taken

870
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: over as the interim coach, former offensive lineman for the Colts.

871
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: Great relationship with Jim or say Chris Ballard. The GM

872
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: thought he obviously could do the job. It hasn't worked

873
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: out so great for him yet, Young oc talking about

874
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: doing a lot of delegating. You know, he knows how

875
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: to lead men. It's interesting. We'll see if it works

876
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: in Dallas. Haley, you asked the question of Mike McCarthy

877
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: about that day, and we'll get to your response in

878
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I find it a little perplexing

879
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: because I have talked to Mike McCarthy about delegating, and

880
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: particularly this offseason. We the members of the media at

881
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: the combine all got to sort of meet with Mike,

882
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: and I asked him point blank, because it's sometimes, particularly

883
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: in the forty nine ers game, in the playoff loss,

884
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: why haven't you just taken over the playbook. That's what

885
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: you were known for, That's what you did in Green Bay,

886
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: and he said that he had learned at a certain

887
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: point in his career that he can't do everything and

888
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: that he has to delegate a little bit. So his

889
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: response to you today was interesting to me. Yeah, it

890
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 1: was just a little frustrating because it wasn't leading. Like

891
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: I knew it would be a tricky question. That's probably

892
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: why it hadn't been asked yet, So I wanted to

893
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 1: make sure I framed it in a way that wasn't

894
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: comparing him or his accomplishments to what Jeff Saturday has done.

895
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: I point blank asked him, like, do you see or

896
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: feel any pair lels between his delegation versus what you

897
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: chose to do when you started here? And he was

898
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: not having that. He was very much I think he

899
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: even said, you know, I don't think you can even

900
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: compare the two situations. And that was that. So I

901
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: get it because I'm sure in his mind he took

902
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: it as though I'm guessing he took it as though

903
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: it was an attack on his accomplishments and what he's

904
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: done in the past. But I mean it definitely was

905
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of a like okay, my bad, like sorry,

906
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: I thought that you were just asking how it is

907
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: when you first adjustment initially come in well, and Jeff

908
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,959
Speaker 1: Saturday talked about that in his press conference earlier too,

909
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: about the hardest part so far as the distractions, And

910
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: by distractions, he means the extra meetings, meeting with media

911
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: and doing everything while still trying to get your feet

912
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: on the ground. So he did talk about that, and

913
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: I feel like if anybody could relate to those distractions

914
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: and how hard it is to really just adjust to

915
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: any kind of coaching job, it was Mike McCarthy. I

916
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 1: certainly felt like his first year there was only so

917
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: much bandwidth that even Mike had with COVID the technology.

918
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: I felt like some of the problems with the defense

919
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: were he didn't spend as much time over there on

920
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. He was letting Mike Nolan

921
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: and those guys do their thing, and that's why things

922
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 1: sort of fell apart. And now you've got Dan Quinn

923
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: that fully has a handle on that defense. He doesn't

924
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: really have to do much over there. But yeah, I

925
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: think that there has been there's an element to all

926
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: of that. Even with my job at NFL Network, I

927
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: can only do so much and I didn't have a

928
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: producer for my first four years here in Dallas, and

929
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: most reporters do just because there's so much. There's not transcripts,

930
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: there's tons of audio. We're on air a lot of

931
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: times when it's like open practice and particularly on game days.

932
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: It took me a while to sort of trust Bobby Belt.

933
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: He was just on media match with me to be

934
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: able to do some things where it was because you're

935
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: so used to doing things by MJ life girl, right,

936
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: But it's also like the only person that's going to

937
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 1: get it right is myself. The only person I trust

938
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: is myself. So yeah, sort of an interesting discussion. I

939
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: probably should have us more time and more nuanced to

940
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: get into it, but I thought that was sort of

941
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: fascinating Before we wrapped the show. We got to pass

942
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: the interference from you, just all right. The Cowboys are

943
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 1: ten and six against the Colts, where they have racked

944
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: up a total of forty five touchdowns and five thoive

945
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven offensive yards on average. Though they

946
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: score nearly three touchdowns a game against the Colts, they'll

947
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: average a little more than twenty first downs and then

948
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: a little over two hundred and forty five offensive yards

949
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,720
Speaker 1: per game. But in case you're wondering, the Cowboys defense

950
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: has allowed on average three hundred and eleven yards for

951
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: the Colts offense per game. Well, so there you go,

952
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: all right. Well, starting next week, we're going to do

953
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: a fun new segment because again, as we have sort

954
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: of gotten our sea legs under us new staff, here,

955
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: a new coach on this show. For the podcast this season,

956
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: I feel like we're beginning to hit our stride a

957
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: little bit. But we'd also like to start engaging a

958
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: little bit more with the fans. I think all of

959
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: us get your questions on Twitter or on Instagram, but

960
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,200

Speaker 1: answer any questions that you have ahead of the game,

969

Speaker 1: So keep that in mind, and then we of course,

970
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: remind you of that next week. Thanks for tuning in.
