16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Other than a Cowboys when we know it was great?

17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: But was the food delicious? Christie? How was that press

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: box food? Yeah? It always tastes better for sure after

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: a win. So yeah, I get home about eight forty

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: five or so after a Thanksgiving Day game, and so

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: my family is on third and fourth helpings, but they

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: have saved me a plate from the original one, so

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: it does always taste better. But I was I just

24
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: wanted to play whack amole. I was so happy. I

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: love your Thanksgiving. I was chilling, y'all, like I didn't

26
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: want to pressure my family with my my uh outbursts

27
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: during the game. Oh, So I just stayed at the

28
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: house and I cooked by myself and watched the game

29
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: and peace because I guess this is I didn't realize

30
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: how many Thanksgivings it had been since the Cowboys won

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving. I didn't know it had been like what

32
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: four years. I didn't know that and too long. I

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: was just accustomed to be and said, and so I

34
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: just that it's so depressing. Nah, well I was accustomed

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: to I was preparing my family and myself emotionally not

36
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: half exactly right, and I wanted my food. I didn't

37
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: even eat until after the game. You can't as a time. Yeah, No,

38
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: I drove back home. She Los Crucis, and so I

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: was like, all right, Well, the drive backs either going

40
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: to be really quiet and really sad or it's gonna

41
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: be really good. And so it was really good type

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: drive back home, and my family loved having all of

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: us together to watch the game, and it was it

44
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: was a good time. So loved that. Loved pumpkin pie,

45
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: even though I got some scrutiny for being pill you

46
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: up about that pumpkin pie. But you know what was

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: sweeter than pumpkin pie was again a Cowboys a victory

48
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: on a Thanksgiving Christy, I'm gonna go right to you

49
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: for this, because how was the environment of the stadium.

50
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: It's Thanksgiving Day, you have all the Thanksgiving spread at

51
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: the stadium. What was that environment like? And what was

52
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: the ratio of fan base compared to Cowboys fans and

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Giants fans? Not as many Giants fans. But I tell you,

54
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: the crowd was great to start the game. And honestly,

55
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: I think one reason why it was so loud at

56
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: the beginning of the game is it was so rainy

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: and cruddy and cold and windy on Thanksgiving morning that

58
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: instead of people being outside tailgating, you know, you see

59
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: lots of deep fried turkeys in the parking lot and

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So there's a lot of tailgating that

61
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: happens on Thanksgiving home games, but because the weather was

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: so bad, the crowd was inside earlier. It was not

63
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: one of these late arriving crowds. They were on and

64
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: they were ready, But the thing was they didn't have

65
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: a lot to cheer about. In the first half. It

66
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: was such a It was fits and starts, and a

67
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: lot of it had to do with penalties how tightly

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: the game was being called. Cowboys didn't really play well

69
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: in my opinion, until the second half, so the crowd

70
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: kind of got taken out of the game just because

71
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: there was no real rhythm or flow to the game.

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: But once it got going in the second half, it

73
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: was really off the hook. Now, that's such a good

74
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: point that you make about the first quarter and the

75
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: first half of the game there being no flow and

76
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: no rhythm. I feel like any factors coming to play

77
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: with the slow start or kind of how they played

78
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: to start, and maybe it's the twelve games, well, the

79
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: three games. In twelve games you saw some of the slowness. Also,

80
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, this was his first time playing this defense,

81
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: this particular defense which has kind of been shifted and

82
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: changed around with wink and a lot of the things

83
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: they do defensively, they took a minute to get They

84
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: took a while to get into the groove, talked about

85
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: so many times getting off to faster starts, and it

86
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: was kind of it was shaky, but the response was good.

87
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: The response was good because last year you saw in

88
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders game. Quite honestly, I felt like a lot

89
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: of us felt like this is gonna be a rough

90
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: day from the beginning of the game. And in this

91
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: game you had a few instances in the first quarter

92
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: where you're like, oh man, please not again with the

93
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: penalties and all that stuff. But they responded well in

94
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: the second half, and I think that is something good

95
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: for them to show moving forward. I think I think

96
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: that's the most important thing is this was not the Cowboys'

97
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: best game. It was not clean and crisp and efficient

98
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: like it was four days earlier when they played the

99
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: best game of the year at Minnesota. So I usually

100
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: you make a great point in that it wasn't the best,

101
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: but they were still able to come through in the

102
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: second half. And you're right about Dak even though the

103
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: offense was going tempo, you know, getting up on the ball,

104
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: Dak was made making a lot of adjustments at the

105
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: line because, as you say, went Martin Dale, who's the

106
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Giants, who loves to bring lots

107
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: of pressure. So there were some different looks and things

108
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: like that, and Dak was trying to make the adjustments there.

109
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: But you know, great, great play in the second half.

110
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: So and you're talking about a great play, Okay, this

111
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: is a smooth transition er. I'm trying to be smooth

112
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: with this transition a little bit. What would have been

113
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: a great play is that one handed catch by Ceedee

114
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Lamb Christy. What did you see when you were on

115
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: the sidelines with that? Obviously I don't think you could

116
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: see the footwork that zoomed in being right there, But

117
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: what was that like within those moments of trying to

118
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: see how that all corresponded and went down the line. Yes,

119
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: I was on the Cowboys sideline at about the ten

120
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: yard line, and of course, so the play was to

121
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: my right in the back of the end zone, so

122
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: CD was maybe about twenty yards away. But at first

123
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, there's no way he caught the ball.

124
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: You know, there's no way that he could get that

125
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: that foot down, and the first thing I look at

126
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: or the officials, and so the back judge was very

127
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: emphatic that it was not a catch, and so I thought, oh,

128
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: too bad. But then when they started showing the replays,

129
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my gosh, his toe did get down,

130
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: but by rule the definition, you know, the toe heel,

131
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: technically it was not a catch. But to see CD's

132
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: reaction on the sideline, because when they first showed the

133
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: replays on the Jerry Tron on the big board, they

134
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: stopped it when you saw his toe and not his heel.

135
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: So everyone's like, yay, he made the catch. And then

136
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: the official come after a couple minutes to replay and

137
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: makes the announcement and Cede lamb. His reaction, his face,

138
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: it was like someone took the candy away from a

139
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: kid at Halloween. It just went from joy to bewilderment.

140
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: And so it actually that's what's funny was was CD's reaction.

141
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: But when you saw it live, Yisha, did you think

142
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: that it was a catch. I didn't realize until you know,

143
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: they did the replay, and I'm still learning all the

144
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: rules about that stuff. So again, like that's something i'm

145
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: learning as far as the heel being down in comparison

146
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: to the toe. I sometimes you just give it sometimes,

147
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: like in the spirit of giving, and I know that's

148
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: not the right answer, but sometimes you'd be like when

149
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: guys made grabs like that, like it's just be late,

150
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: but I understand the rule or whatever. Yeah, what I

151
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: really enjoyed about CD's postgame interview was that somebody had

152
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: asked him, how does this rank within the rest of

153
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: your catches, and he said it doesn't because it doesn't

154
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: count and count. That's so sad because it was such

155
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: a great eat catch. I mean, his body awareness and

156
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean I think we've seen the the baseline for

157
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: what CD is going to be as a receiver these

158
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: next few weeks. And we were just talking about before

159
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: we started recording Christy, how fast this season has gone by.

160
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: But you also look at the progression that CD's had

161
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: within that time, and he has really developed into this

162
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver one role. I think the Vikings game and

163
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: this Giant's game was a good example of that. But man,

164
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: I wanted him to have that catch. That was the

165
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: reaction with your family and Los Cruises. Oh, when they

166
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: said no catch, were y'all like, no, turkey. See, we

167
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: have to eat before the game. So Thanksgiving is played

168
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: around the Cowboys game at home. And my dad automatically

169
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: that's a catch and I'm like, no, Dad, I don't.

170
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it is. No, it's a catch, Okay Dad,

171
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: all right, well we'll see. But um no, it was.

172
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: It was fun. It was I used should have just

173
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: come with me because we were we were going on

174
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: on our all of our emotional outbursts. So next time

175
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: we know, yes and uh, but you know, staying on

176
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: the wide receiver topic here because some that I think

177
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: really has shined through these last couple of games, Michael

178
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: Gallop and really showing that pre injury for Michael Gallop,

179
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: I think he has been getting that juice back. We've

180
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: seen his progression really since the return and that initial

181
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: slow burn of him being integrated back into the offense. Christy,

182
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you specifically because you followed Michael

183
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: Gallop throughout the entirety of his career so far, and

184
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: you were there when the injury occurred. You saw him

185
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: starting to play, you know, really in this role pre injury,

186
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: and then now you've seen him kind of progress back

187
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: to that. What has that been like for you to

188
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: see him progressing as the player he's becoming today, Well,

189
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: it's rewarding. Michael such a great guy. Also, he was

190
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: the offensive captain for the game on Thursday, so I

191
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: thought that was very cool for him to have such

192
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: a big game. But it's not just putting up numbers.

193
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: But when they got the ball, I believe it was

194
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: their third possession, so they took over late in the

195
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: first quarter. But a couple of those catches that he had,

196
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: it was not fact yeah yeah. And the way the

197
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: way that he those were not easy catches, the way

198
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: he reached up and plucked them all those hands catches

199
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: those are hard to do and contested as well. So

200
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: I think that he's a guy that was really helping

201
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: on Thursday move the chains, and that's what's really important.

202
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: So the highlights or CD one handed catch out at

203
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone or along the sideline,

204
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: but the way that Gallup was making those contested catches

205
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys were converting third down, so I thought

206
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: that was what was really important. I'm all for getting

207
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup going early, getting him going early, and getting

208
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: him involved early. He's such I think one thing about

209
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop. His physical play matters, and when he's going

210
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: against a two corner and stuff, and he's able to

211
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: push them around, like when he makes those catches, he's

212
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: also putting a body on these guys and he's put

213
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: in he's laying into them and when they tackle him.

214
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: It was a couple of times they're trying to tackle

215
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: him and they couldn't even get him down to the ground.

216
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: His strength is starting to show again, and I'm his

217
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: progression has been you know, not slow to say the least,

218
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: but it's been a you know, an uphill battle. Just

219
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: seeing him get better and trust his leg more. I'm

220
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: really excited to see him add that deep threat to

221
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: his game again. But right now, the way that they're

222
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: using him slants, deep crossers, that stuff is progressive and

223
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: it's giving him confidence. Well, it's an easy way to

224
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: give him confidence within a game and get him started.

225
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: And the game plan with him, I think is spot

226
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: on to get him into the yards after catch. I

227
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: was just about to say that in a game where

228
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: yardage matters, I mean that the yardage after his catch,

229
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: and I went back to that third drive that you

230
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: were talking about, Christy and great catch in the air

231
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: by Michael Gallup fighting for the ball in the air.

232
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: And something I wrote here is he stuck the outside

233
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: foot to drag it, drag the inside foot with that

234
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: catch you were talking about. So again, the body awareness,

235
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: the muscle memory of these men is it's just so

236
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: captivating to me when you think about all of the

237
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: things that go into making those incredible. So, Michael Gallup,

238
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: consider your kudos and your flowers given to you this Monday,

239
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: because you absolutely deserve it. And of course this would

240
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: not be girls talkboys talking. We didn't go back to

241
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: that whack a mole situation from the Cowboys tight end room. Christy,

242
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: can you please explain how I can't even imagine how

243
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: the stadium erupted after the entire episode of that tight

244
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: end whack a mole game that we saw going on.

245
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: I can't believe that three NFL tight ends could fit

246
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: in a kettle. I mean, it's a big perspective, all

247
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: how big it is. I was like, yeah, I fit

248
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: in there like that. I really think that's the most

249
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: creative Cowboys touchdown celebration I've ever seen. Now, of course,

250
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: when it was Schultzen Ferguson or Hindu shot on the

251
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: calf roping. It was that was Schultz was being calf

252
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: calf roped. But um, so so far, I would say

253
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: that the tight Ends are winning when it comes to

254
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: creative celebrations. But I just thought it was so much fun.

255
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: But what's interesting is when Zeke started the whole thing

256
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: back in his rookie year in twenty sixteen. We think

257
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: that that happened on Thanksgiving Day, It actually happened a

258
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: few weeks later. It was a game on December eighteenth.

259
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: Because what the Cowboys do is they lead those Salvation

260
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: Army red kettles in the back of the end zone

261
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 1: through the holiday season so that their visual rebinders is

262
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: people are watching the games, not just Thanksgiving Day but

263
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: throughout the holidays. So and then two years later, so

264
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: that happened twenty sixteen when Zeke first jumped in the kettle.

265
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: Two years later is when Dak scored on a run

266
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: and then Zeke lifted Dak into play kettle. Yeah, but honestly,

267
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: I will say that I was not. I was surprised

268
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: that the team was not penalized because that's why, because

269
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: that's why Zeke didn't jump in it. He was the

270
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: first to score a touchdown on this past Thursday, but

271
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: he knew not to jump in because it was a

272
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: close game and you can't afford fifteen yard penalty assessed

273
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: on the kid GoF or you know, knocking the back

274
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: fifteen yards to try the extra point. So I'm mildly

275
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: surprised that they did not get fined, but happy that

276
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: they did not. I'm surprised too, because they was calling everything.

277
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: That's the only thing. That's the only thing that was

278
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: not called. We will get into that because there's plenty

279
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: to talk about with those penalties, because we have some

280
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: feelings about that here on Girls Talk, Boys Talk. But

281
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: coming up after the break, we're going to take a

282
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: look at how the Cowboys defense defended against the run

283
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: game with the Giants and how they handle a mobile quarterback.

284
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: All that and more coming up in just a bit.

330
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: Definitely a very well deserved person for that award. I

331
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: told you'd like that. Read Yes, I did like it. Well, Okay,

332
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: So I wanted to switch gears talk about the defense,

333
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: but first saw this tweet courtesy of Fox Sports PR

334
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: where history was made this Thanksgiving because the coverage of

335
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Jimmian's game ranks is the most watched

336
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: regular season game on any network with forty two million viewers.

337
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: Oh there you go. Only this does it right here

338
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: And if you can't see, I'm putting at the Cowboys start.

339
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: But absolutely a great game. I'm definitely glad they want

340
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: it with that many eyeballs on them, not including the

341
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: ones at the stadium either. But I wanted to transition

342
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: now to the Cowboys defense because the topic of conversation

343
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: the last few weeks and their three game stint within

344
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: the last twelve days, specifically was the run defense. How

345
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: was the run defense you know these last three games,

346
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: But specifically something that we had talked about on this

347
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: podcast was the vikings didn't really test the Cowboys defense

348
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: in that category because they shot away from the run.

349
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: The Giants kind of had to do the same thing.

350
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: But I wanted to ask you both and leave this

351
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: up for a little bit of debate. So did the

352
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys improve the run defense? And if so, do you

353
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: feel like the Giants tested this more than the Packers

354
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: or the Vikings. I mean, oh, well, anyway, okay, sorry

355
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: I was looking over that, but it was for anybody

356
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 1: to grab well, I want to be fair. Even with

357
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings game, there were instances where you forced them

358
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: to throw the ball because of the run defense. It

359
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: was very vocal that they earned they earned the ability

360
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: to rush the passer. But in this game, in particular,

361
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you held sae Quon Barkley to three point

362
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: five yards a carry, thirty nine yards total. It looks

363
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: like a well thirty nine yards rushing. That's impressive. Like

364
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: se Quon Barkley has been playing like one of the

365
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 1: better running backs in the NFL right this year, and

366
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: he's actually resurging as one of the more dominant run

367
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: backers run back and running backs in this gain this game.

368
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: But then also what the Giants do with their offensive

369
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: line is impressive. Their run schemes, their motions, the way

370
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: that they get you looking one way and going the

371
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: other way is still impressive. And I really felt like

372
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: the Cowboys linebackers have elevated their play. I think that

373
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: like Layton vander esh is playing, he played lights out,

374
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: and Damon Clark is coming along. His speed makes a

375
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: difference with filling those gaps and so and also too,

376
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: you got a lot and run support from your from

377
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: your DBS this game. I thought the DBS came up

378
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: and tackled and made their presence known. Donovan Wilson made

379
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: some good plays. Duran Bland came up sealed the edge

380
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: a couple of times. So yeah, absolutely, guys are playing

381
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: their assignments and that was half the battle. So what

382
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: you're saying is Durn Bland is anything but Bland on

383
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: the edges by you know, like from me real quick.

384
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to run down some of these stats, and

385
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: of course, Christie, I would love it to hear your

386
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Cowboys run defense. But let's see, the

387
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: Giants only had ninety rushing yards before this game out

388
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: of a total of three hundred yards. They had twenty

389
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: one first downs. They were three for eleven and third

390
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: down efficiency. And then something we always talk about here

391
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: on the podcast is time of possession and where that

392
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: ends up kind of landing the Cowboys, whether the victory

393
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: or a loss. The Cowboys had the ball during this

394
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: game for thirty four minutes and nine seconds, the Giants

395
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: having it for twenty five minutes and fifty one seconds.

396
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: And of course penalties. The Giants had seven penalties for

397
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: sixty six yards. However, on the Cowboys side thirteen penalties

398
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: for eighty six yards, which, believe it or not, was

399
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: less than the Thanksgiving before. So I looked into that.

400
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: I did. But Christie, what was your thoughts on the

401
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys run defense and how the effort has been put

402
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: in to improve it since, you know, just kind of

403
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: being exposed these last couple of weeks. Well, the Giants

404
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: didn't do the one thing that I feared going into

405
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: the game, and that is Daniel Jones is their most

406
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: effective weapon when he runs them. Now, I shouldn't say

407
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: that because Sequon Barklay is having a stellar season and

408
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: he's terrific, but the way that they were focusing on

409
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: the run and you know, keep him from making big

410
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 1: plays and getting yards after contact and you can limit him.

411
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: But they did a lot more drop back passing the

412
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: Giants did than designed runs and things like that, because

413
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones has heard him in the past when he

414
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: breaks containment and goes down the field or when they

415
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: have designed runs for him. So they were able to

416
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: sack him three times, the Cowboys were They actually sacked

417
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: him five times back in the Week three win at

418
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: New York. But I think that part of the success

419
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: or one reason why the run numbers were low is

420
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: that for the Giants is that the Cowboys were able

421
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: in the third quarter to get that lead and then

422
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: the Giants were having to throw it in the fourth quarter.

423
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: And that's like when you saw Mike a sack in

424
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: the like sure and yeah, I think no. I was

425
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: just gonna say, I think something that was also set

426
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: to be tested during this game was a mobile quarterback

427
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys defense, because a lot of people kind

428
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: of forget that when you're talking losses within this team,

429
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: most of them, I mean have that mobile quarterback component.

430
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts I think absolutely was the prime example of

431
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: that against the Eagles. But I mean, just looking at

432
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones's stats throughout this game, He had two hundred

433
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight yards one touchdown there, but nothing impressive I

434
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: mean either from this Giant's team. I mean, this was

435
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: not a bad team by any means. So it's not

436
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: a bad team. This was. This is the team we're

437
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: talking about neck to neck within the NFC East four

438
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: for second place at that point, which the Cowboys have

439
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: now sealed, by the way. I just got to throw

440
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: that in there. I just want to say one other

441
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: thing about the run defense, and you mentioned Aman Clark

442
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: and him having a good game. He had to step

443
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: in for Anthony Barr, who missed his third straight game

444
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: with a hamstring entry. But think of the state of

445
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to defensive line going into that game. It

446
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: had been ravaged by illness. There were four guys that

447
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: we thought were not gonna We were unsure if they

448
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: were going to be able to play or not. And

449
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: so the fact that number one, they were able to

450
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: suck it up and play. But to be that effective,

451
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: I mean, kudos to them, because yes, the Giants have

452
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: had a lot of injury issues with their old line.

453
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: They were without three of their starting offensive linemen, but

454
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: this was a game where the defensive lineman had a

455
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: lot more to deal with than just game planning and

456
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: x's and o's. They were really fighting through off the

457
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: field illness to make sure that they could be out

458
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: there for their teammates and oh sorry, and with also

459
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: I think to that point, I think some of the

460
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: big guys up front play well. DeMarcus Lawrence. Yeah, that

461
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, y'all, is such a staple for this defensive line.

462
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: He does so much of the dirty work in the

463
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: run game especially, and also also a DIGGI zoo. I

464
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: think this is one of his better games I've seen

465
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: him have this season, and his presence was known, and

466
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: I believe he also was a captain. He was played

467
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: absolutely and so that's also why your linebackers were able

468
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: to play better. The phil and gap assignments were so

469
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: much better this game. But that's because your your defensive

470
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: line actually did some things as well there. So Yeah,

471
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: and earlier you talked about Donovan Wilson, the Cowboys safety.

472
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the unsung heroes of a

473
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: defense this year, along with Dorn's Armstrong. I mean, he's

474
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: the thumper, he's the one that brings the hits, and

475
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: that's Dan Quinn and Mike McCarthy. They just a rave

476
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: about him, yea, And so he doesn't get as much attention,

477
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: but he's the one that is kind of carrying the

478
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: identity at the defense when he comes up and fills

479
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: the whole something I did want to make sure to

480
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: mention because we're throwing out a lot of names here,

481
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: but Damon Clark. This is only what his fourth NFL

482
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: game after a spinal fusion surgery, and he is playing

483
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: to this level. I mean, he had six tackles and

484
00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: one assist during this game. And stats don't prove everything.

485
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: We've talked about that multiple times here on this podcast,

486
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: but what we do see is not only a dynamic player,

487
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: but somebody who has potential to continue to keep growing

488
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: and make an impact within this defense. And it is scary.

489
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: That is absolutely scary. Somebody else that I think had

490
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: a great game, Trayvon Trayvon came out and said I'm

491
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: not losing to the Giants on Thanksgiving Day, thank you

492
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: very much. So I was going back to my notes

493
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: trying to find one of the times that Trayvonne really

494
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: came through, and I want to say it was the

495
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: Giant's ninth drive towards the end of the game. But

496
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: I think Trayvonne really has just been more of that

497
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: silent killer within that defense. Who he's on that coverage,

498
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: He is on the coverage. But the thing is is,

499
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: I think when people hear Trayvonne, they think, oh, interceptions,

500
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: he's not getting as much. Well, of course, nobody wants

501
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: thrown near Trayvonn anymore, would you. I wouldn't. I wouldn't

502
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: want to throw anything towards his way. He's gonna catch it.

503
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, especially if you're Daniel Jones, who was getting

504
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: all of that pressure up front. Oh my goodness, that

505
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: was I did not want to be Daniel Jones on

506
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day. But yeah, just just some names to mention.

507
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: Of course, Michael Parsons having himself a day with two

508
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: of those sacks that you had mentioned, and we can't

509
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: say enough good things about that guy. I mean, Mica

510
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: is just such a threat within this defense and it's

511
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible to just watch him continue to be this player.

512
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not really much else to say about

513
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. Miga Parsons, like, I mean, part of the

514
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: reasons why you know, Michael played a more edged this game,

515
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: and that allowed him to get to the passer and

516
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, get after the passer. And a big part

517
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: of that is because Damon Clark is men in that

518
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: middle linebacker position, so it's freeing him up in that way.

519
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: And to your point also about trey Von Diggs, I

520
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: don't know if this is something you guys have noticed,

521
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: but you know, people are going at your two, are

522
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: going at your two corner, So if there's an improvement

523
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: to be made, I would be looking at what's gonna

524
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: come from that is the fact that no one's even

525
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: wont to throw the Trayvon side and maybe if you

526
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: can get some safety help over there, because if you

527
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: eliminated some of these big plays, the defense looks even

528
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: more impressive than what it does. But that's that's my

529
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: thing right now. Treyvon. It's like a catch twenty two.

530
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: Treyvon plays fantastic, nobody wants to throw to him. But

531
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: at the same time, your two corner is just getting

532
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: targeted and targeted and it's it's it's something that I

533
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: do think that they're going to have to address defensively

534
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: pretty soon here because it's the thing I think that's

535
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: the way it was, you know, when Dion was here

536
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: or wherever he was. But if you can take away

537
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: half the field, you know, it's like it's it's like

538
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: I said, it's it's a catch twenty two. It's very

539
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: frustrating because you say, like, Okay, of course Anthony Brown's

540
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: gonna get picked on. He's not gonna win every situation.

541
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: But then when you see the games, teams coming out

542
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: and specifically game planning for that. Hopefully that's something we

543
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: see addressed here soon. But the main thing about that

544
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: is when you talk about in Anthony Brown or whoever

545
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: the cornerback is, whoever the two corner is or whatever,

546
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: you want that guy to be the one to say, hey,

547
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: yeah on, bring it on, throw it to me. You

548
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: don't want the guy who's like, oh no, now they're

549
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: coming at me. And so I think that that's what

550
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: you hear coaches talking about when they talk about the

551
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: mindset of being the number two corner or number three

552
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: guy like dron Bland getting thrown in there, having to

553
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: take over for Jordan Lewis and play in the slot

554
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: and be in a rookie and so. But the way

555
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: that teammates and coaches talk about these guys, and no

556
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: one ab you know, all the years that he's been here,

557
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: these guys have the right mindset to do that. The

558
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: only thing that worries me is the amount of penalties.

559
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: And here we go, I'm talking about penalties. But this

560
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: is a perfect example to why, because to me, this

561
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: Giant's team, on paper, should have been a very easy

562
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: feat for this Cowboys team to go out and beat.

563
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: No way should they be trailing them at halftime. I mean,

564
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: and you look at that, those are all self inflicted

565
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: things with those penalties. That what worries me is the

566
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: defense goes in and kind of eliminates what those penalties

567
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: are doing it. And luckily the defense can they can

568
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: stop you know, a mobile Daniel Jones from making a

569
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: big play, sae Quon Barkley from making a big play.

570
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: But what worries me is, I mean, man, when you're

571
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: when you're talking later on down the road, thirteen penalties

572
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: in a game. Can't be doing that. That is so

573
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: self inflicted and it's frustrating. And I mean, hey, we'll

574
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: talk about this on the other end of this other break.

575
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: But Zach Barton being called for a hole? Are you

576
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: kidding me? I last most went into shock. You guys.

577
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: So Sports Illustrated used to do a little thing and

578
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: it was called this week's sign that the Apocalypse is

579
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 1: upon it a little thing, And as soon as they

580
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: called number seventy holding, I'm like, this week's sign that

581
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 1: the apocalypse is upon it. I think I sucked all

582
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: the air out of the world. I went, what I

583
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: mean it was? It was shocking. Yeah, But because the

584
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: good news is he still has more Pro Bowls than

585
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: holding penalties in his career, so that was sixth holding

586
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: penalty in his entire career. Well, I think the Cowboys

587
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: had four false starts in that game. I want to

588
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: be fair looking within the game, Dak Prescott, as you said,

589
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: was doing a lot at the line of scrimmage trying

590
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: to get them in the right play and when also too,

591
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: when you see like tight ends or receivers having false

592
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: starts a lot of the time, that's communication. So I

593
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: want to be fair about so much of the changes

594
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: and stuff they were doing. I think that has something

595
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: to do with it being a short week and them

596
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: not being able to practice these things. So I want

597
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: to be fair also to let's keep it a buck here,

598
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: they were calling everything in this game, and I'm trying

599
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: to be in I'm trying to be I know, I'm

600
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: just trying to be I understand that I understand the

601
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: penalties are a problem, but I'm trying. I feel like

602
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: we have a bigger sample size of them getting what

603
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: four five penalties a game, and that kind of being

604
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: the look around the NFL. That's kind of what is

605
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: happening here and so but my guy Matt Owen had

606
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: a fantastic tweet earlier. He said the Cowboys have been

607
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: flagged for eighty three times this season's second most in

608
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. Their point opponents have been called for seventy penalties.

609
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: Third more, we have the third most preseason preseason pre

610
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: snap penalties. No team in the league has been penalized

611
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: at home more than the Cowboys forty five. The next

612
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: highest is New Orleans forty one. You got to clean

613
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: it up, So absolutely, I one hundred percent think that

614
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: they have to clean it up. I just want to

615
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: be um. I don't know, just with even killed about

616
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,239
Speaker 1: this game in particular and how it was officiated, and

617
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: more so how that crew in particular has officiated for

618
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: three weeks even prior. It's just they they're they're they're picking.

619
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: They don't they don't play any but they know. But

620
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: the players know that, and the coaches tracking that. You

621
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: got you gotta adjust to that absolutely. I think it's

622
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: just it's one of those things that if you weren't

623
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: playing the Giants, how would that have impacted the true

624
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: You're right, that's that's what worries me going forward. And um,

625
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: so we're kind of alluding to talking about Jack. We

626
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: have a little bit more to talk about on the offense,

627
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: so that's coming up. On the other side of this break,

628
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from Dalton Schultz and something interesting that

629
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,440

Speaker 1: enjoy what Sounds of the Star sounds fun. And speaking

671
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: of stars, I'm just waiting to see why stars. I

672
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: mean just our tight end group, I mean the Cowboys

673
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: tight end group is just we can't say enough good things.

674
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: I know we talked about him a lot the first

675
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: segment of the show, but what I really thought was

676
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: interesting was we heard from Dalton Schultz. Obviously we sawled

677
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: the difference in the first half and the second half

678
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: performance from the Dallas Cowboys. But we heard from Dalton

679
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: Schultz after the game, and this is something he said

680
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 1: when he was asked about some of the adjustments made

681
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 1: between that first half and the second half. Take a listen,

682
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: we just started playing together. We came in not a

683
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: whole lot change in our game plan, but we made

684
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: a couple of minute adjustments. Honestly, we kept calling basically

685
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: the same stuff that we call in the first half.

686
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: We were just executing in a higher level, mixing it up.

687
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: You know, I've said this from day one. I feel like,

688
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, we're at our most dangerous and round the ball,

689
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: and I think we did a good job of executing

690
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: on the ball today. Thank you, Jazzy. Definitely love that, ladies.

691
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting. I thought that was very

692
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: interesting because the first half and the second half of

693
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: that game just looked like a completely different Cowboys offense.

694
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: So it's interesting that he says, yeah, we basically did

695
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: the same thing we did in the first half, we

696
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: just executed it better, which goes back into the mistakes

697
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are making right now are all self inflicted. Yes,

698
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: because they have the talent, they have the guys in

699
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: the right position. It's just self inflicted, whether it be pedalties,

700
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: whether it be miscommunication. So I thought that was just

701
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: a very interesting take from Dalton Schultz. And of course,

702
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz had himself a game just absolutely becoming one

703
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: of the clutch guys for Dak Prescott. So let's run

704
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: down some of the Cowboys stats real quick from the

705
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: Giants Thanksgiving Day game. The Cowboys had four hundred and

706
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: thirty total yards, two hundred and sixty one of which

707
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: we're passing yards, one hundred and sixty nine which we're

708
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: rushing yards. They average six point two yards per play, everybody,

709
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: That is incredible. They had twenty six first downs they

710
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: were seven of eleven, and third down efficiency, which we'll

711
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: get into sixty nine total plays and let's see, that's

712
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: basically what she wrote, right. I just think this Cowboys

713
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: offense has continued to step up. And something I wanted

714
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: to make sure to mention was, y'all, Dak Prescott has

715
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: only played for what five games this entire season so far,

716
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: and he is dominating within the NFL. I mean, you

717
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: can argue about the interceptions and all of that, but

718
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: the amount of chemistry this offense has when they are on,

719
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: they are in it, they are communicating. It's scary, absolutely scary. Yeah,

720
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: And I also think it's the efficiency as well. And

721
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,479
Speaker 1: talk about Dalton Schultz and then what the entire tight

722
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: end group did. Now Peyton Hendershot had a touchdown, it

723
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: was on a running play, not on a pass play.

724
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 1: The tight ends were targeted a little less this past

725
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: Thursday than the previous week, only seven targets, but seven

726
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: of seven on those targets previous game, every target to

727
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: a tight end was caught. So and I also want

728
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: to mention Sean McCune. So he's the fourth tight end.

729
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: He had seventeen plays on Thursday, but the fact that

730
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: you see four tight ends on the field at the

731
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: same time for several plays, not all seventeen for McCune

732
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: were out there. Sometimes he's out there as an extra

733
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: blocker in short yardage and goal line and things like that.

734
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: But to have that kind of depth and to have

735
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: a guy like McCune who's a key guy on special teams,

736
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: but you can send him out there and he's so

737
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: efficient and does his role, I think that that's the

738
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: most important thing that we're seeing as this season goes along,

739
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: when we talk about guys like Daman Clark on defense

740
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: and Durn Bland, a couple of rookies who are taking opportunity,

741
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: taking advantage of the opportunity to play, and now the

742
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: defense is really counting on him. When you have these

743
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: role players, these guys like mckun that's what separates the

744
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: teams when you get to this final month of the

745
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: season and the playoff runs, and when you have these

746
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: young guys that have gotten snaps early in the season

747
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: and now you're accounting on the Blands and the Clarks

748
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: of the world. So it's the way it's the way

749
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: that Kelln Moore is using the tight ends, the way

750
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott knows that he can rely on them,

751
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: and how efficient they are when they go to these

752
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: multi tight end packages. Yes, the tight ends are a

753
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 1: weapon at this point. The tight end group and what

754
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: they do in the running game especially, but even they're

755
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: starting to add on to the passing game with Dak

756
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: Prescott being there and everyone's getting involved. They make a

757
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: difference on the field because now now you're going to

758
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: get to a point to where you don't know if

759
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: they're blocking or if they're going out for a quick out.

760
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: Like there's so many wrinkles that Kellen Moore starting to

761
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: add to this offense because of the tight end room

762
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: being so versatile because you have gentlemen that do different

763
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: things within that room that they do well and like

764
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: you said, like McEwen, he's fantastic blocker, but he does

765
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: have receiver ability and that it's it's I asked Christie

766
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: before you know we came on, like, is this the

767
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: most versatile tight end group you've seen? And I don't

768
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: I've been watching the Cowboys majority of my life. I

769
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: don't know if I've seen a tight end group played

770
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: this well this early and everyone being involved the way

771
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: except they are. I don't know if I've seen exactly.

772
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: And the thing that I'm most excited about with six

773
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: games left, we haven't seen hinder shot with in terms

774
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 1: of he is a Jarwin esque and kind of wheel

775
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: field guy. He's got wheal down. He can be a

776
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: downfield threat, put him at a seam route and stuff.

777
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: We haven't really seen that yet, and that's what I'm

778
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: really waiting. He can be real exciting and I can

779
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: go You're right, and I think Helen has more in

780
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: his toolbox as we like to hear, and I think

781
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: what we're barely seeing is just the tip of the

782
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: iceberg of what's in that toolbox. I think something that's

783
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: exciting about this Cowboys offense specifically is when you hear

784
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: everybody talking about the dan Quinn defense and the versatility

785
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: and kind of the mind games that this defense will

786
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: play with the offense, this Cowboys offense has the same

787
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: capability of playing mind games when it comes to it

788
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to an opposing defense. I mean, you're

789
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: talking Tony Pollard's on the field. Is he going to

790
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: run or is he going to go down the seams

791
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: and is he gonna catch the ball for twenty yards

792
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 1: down the field? Or you have Jake Ferguson, I mean,

793
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: the most furgolicious hurdle I've ever seen seen one. But

794
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: you have Jake Ferguson, who, my goodness just absolutely on

795
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: the come up as as a Cowboys tight end and

796
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: just a threat within this Within this Cowboys offense, you

797
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: have Ceedee Lamb, who I absolutely think is making his

798
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: print as wide receiver one, no doubt about it. You

799
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: have Michael Gallup, who we talked about who's on the

800
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: up and up, and just looking at some of this yardage.

801
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb had one hundred and six yards during that game.

802
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: He only touched the ball six times. That's insane. He

803
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: was averaging seventeen point seven seventeen point seven yards with

804
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: those receiving yards there. Michael Gallup had five touches on

805
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: the ball for sixty three yards, Jake Ferguson three touches

806
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: on the ball for fifty seven yards. Dalton Schultz four

807
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: touches on the ball thirty one yards. Y'all see a

808
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: trend here, just how dynamic that offense is. Zeke too.

809
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: We didn't mention Zeke. There we go. We didn't get

810
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: to mention Zeke. But I think that Zeke absolutely came

811
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: out and made his presence known early in this game.

812
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: He loves the Thanksgiving Day feast. This was one of

813
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: the more elusive games I've seen him. Like. He looked,

814
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: he looked healthy, he looked happy to be out there,

815
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: and every one of his yards mad a sixteen for

816
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: ninety two, five point eight yards carry. That is impressive

817
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: by Zeke. And this was a game when you had

818
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: dexter dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams there in the middle,

819
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: like they were clogging up a lot of space there.

820
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: Thibadeau there on the edge, you know, causing a lot

821
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: of issues there with your left tackle. But Zeke, ze

822
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: Zeke's running in this game early, and this is a

823
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: good example of sometimes it's going to be a TP

824
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: day and some days like TP's going to have his

825
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: spots where he goes crazy, and the might be this

826
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 1: is a Zeke day. And this weekend, well this weekend

827
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: with Thursday rather, Zeke was the guy, and he made

828
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: a difference running the ball early in that game, especially

829
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: to establish that running and Kellen stuck to it right.

830
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: Kellen stuck to the run and saw that there was

831
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: success in it in certain areas. So what I want

832
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: to ask, y'all we only have two minutes left. Time

833
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: flies when you're talking to all things, Dallas Cowboys. But

834
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: who gets your Thanksgiving Day turkey? Ladies? Who are we

835
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: giving this turkey too? I would say game ball, But

836
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: in the spirit of giving, we're still talking Thanksgiving. Who

837
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: gets your Thanksgiving Day turkey? Aisha, who gets your turkey?

838
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: For this game? Barnicles, who gets it? Yeah? I'm putting

839
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 1: it on the spot here. Oh goodness, grocers. Okay, okay, okay,

840
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: we only have one minute. Okay, no pressure, I'm trying

841
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: to hurry up. Don't be putting on olay well sugar, honey. Okay, Chris, Okay,

842
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm doing it to as the tight end group. Okay,

843
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: dang it. That was my backup plan. That was great.

844
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: That was my backup Plank's your first plan? I don't know.

845
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't have a first plan. I guess do you

846
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: say yours? Okay? I'm giving mine to Michael Gallup because

847
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: I think just seeing him on the up and up

848
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: is absolutely encouraging and it should be scary for any

849
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: of the opposing defenses, especially when the ball's in the air. Clap,

850
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: I'll say sed and then I'll say CD. Then he's

851
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: he's really emerging and really coming into his own. With

852
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott being on the field, this is actually one

853
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 1: of the first times since last year, I mean even

854
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: before that, that they've played long leash stretched together consistently.

855
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: They're starting to get some traction. So I'm definitely looking

856
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: at ceed Lamb and how well he's playing coming along

857
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: as as that guy. Well, there you have it. And

858
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: speaking of playing, Christy, what is happening tonights that our

859
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: viewers need to keep an eye on. You need to

860
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: watch Monday Night Football because the Colts are playing, and

861
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: that's the Cowboys upcoming opponent on Sunday at at and

862
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: T Stadium. So the poor Colts, they kind of draw

863
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: the short end of the stick. The Cowboys have extra

864
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: rest coming off of Thanksgiving, and then the Colts have

865
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: a short week and they have a lot of problems scoring.

866
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: They're averaging less than sixteen points a game. They have

867
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: been woeful on offense. So watch him score fifty tonight.

868
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: I now say that they got a mobile quarterback too,

869
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: So there we go. Well, that gives you a little

870
