Ladies, 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:15.320 we talked to some of the guys in the locker 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.160 room ahead of Sunday's game. Sunday Night Football, your Dallas 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.480 Cowboys will take on at the San Francisco forty nine ers. Christy, 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.480 let's start with you. Let's get to this O line, 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.200 because I think that's the biggest conversation right now is 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.320 what this could look like. You're talking about an offensive 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.400 line that has not played together for the entirety of 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.120 this season at any point yet you can even go 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.880 back to last season. It's been a while. What have 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.880 you gotten from the O line, the guys you got 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:43.799 to talk to in the locker. 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.280 Room, what you heard, it's good news. And the fact 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.079 that Tyrone's out there as a full participant. And then 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.720 Zach you mentioned the thigh. That's the contusion. Of course, 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.480 that ankle probably still doesn't feel very good, but the 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.680 fact that he was full today that's awesome, and even 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:03.440 too Adoga being able to participate fully. Tuma has actually 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.440 had the second most snaps among the offensive linemen this year. 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.240 Terrence Steele is the only one that has taken one 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:14.959 hundred percent of snaps among the regular starters. And Tyler 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.000 Smith spoke today and was just talking about how nice 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.800 it is to have all of the five regulars we 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.200 expect to be back. So it can't the timing can't 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.120 be any better going against this San Francisco front seven, 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.919 and particularly when you're going against Nick Bosa. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.680 Yeah, and them getting reps kind of I wouldn't say 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.200 early in the week, but just things kind of being 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.240 the game plan being installed and all of them being 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.600 a part of it, I think is important for this 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.520 week going up against a defensive line that does so 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.000 much and moves guys on these fronts. Yeah, they got 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.960 a lot of power on this offensive line, on this 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.880 defensive line, so it'd be good for those I'm glad 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.880 those guys got time to practice because communication is going 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.160 to be so important given what the forty Niners like to. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.560 Do on defen Yeah, yesterday wasn't really a full practice. Normally, 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:07.120 Wednesday and Thursday are your hard practices, you know, Wednesday's game, 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.680 you know, install one first day of install, than a 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:14.000 heavy another day on Thursday. And honestly, yesterday their Wednesday 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:18.040 practice wasn't you know, wasn't a full one there, and 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.440 so it was more like a heavy walkthrough. And so 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.400 the fact that today that they were doing more. The 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.239 other thing is coach is going to be using these 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.680 Wednesdays moving forward. He's already started it. The first month 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.159 of the season is going to go through the end 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.520 of the regular season where he is giving these veteran days, 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.000 so even guys like DeMarcus Lawrence who aren't on the 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:44.120 injury report, given those guys easy days on Wednesday just 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.719 to keep them fresh. And then just wanted to follow up, Jess, 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.400 you mentioned CD Lamb with the knee. CD did talk 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.160 to the media today and he says he's good to go, 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.960 and you know, I'll be ready for Sunday. 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.360 And he said it with a big smile. Oh yeah, 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.920 as well. Good to mention there. Something I really look 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.240 forward to is if this offensive line and you're starting 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.920 five can be out there, is you start to see 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.400 that continuity that you haven't gotten to see within this 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.920 offensive line yet. Yes, you can have your rotation guys, 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.279 you can have your swing guys, but when you get 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.479 that solid line that can just continue to work together, 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.080 grow that chemistry, grow that cadence, grow all of the 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.960 rapport with each other to know those nonverbal cues, it's 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.799 just going to make this offense stronger. And so really 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.560 excited to see if that comes to fruition. Aisha, I'm 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.760 gonna turn to you our local film expert here on 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.400 Girls Talk, Boys Talk. You were talking about a very 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.839 tough defensive line for this Dallas Cowboys offensive line to 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.080 take on, no matter who's starting, we don't know yet. 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:50.520 We really won't know probably until Saturday, if not right 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.920 before the game. As well, when you look at this 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.279 offensive line, or excuse me, this defensive line for the 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.360 forty nine ers, obviously you have a Nick Bosa, you 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.120 have a lot of weapons. How can the Dallas Cowboys 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:05.440 offensive line neutralize what this line can do to be 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.800 able to protect Dak Prescott and continue to allow not 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.880 just the run game to establish, but eventually open at 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:12.760 the passing game as well. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:14.640 Yeah, I went back and watched a couple of games, 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.800 the Cardinals, the Rams, seeing what success they had against 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.280 this forty nine ers defense. And it's really crazy because 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.240 when you look at the forty nine ers, you assume 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.400 that that defensive line is just dominant, dominant, dominant. And 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.080 don't get me wrong, they have fantastic players. However, they've 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.760 been struggling getting home. They're getting a lot of pressures. 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.400 You're seeing a lot of pressures from Bosa, but it's 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.600 not consistently that they're just getting home and having a 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:41.240 lot of sacks. 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:42.760 And when you look at what the Rams did. 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.480 I was very surprised by how many times Matthew Stafford 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.279 had clean pockets for a good amount of time. And 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.880 so with the Cowboys, I think a lot of teams 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:59.200 honor you know, just how aggressive you know that defensive 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.039 line can be. Hey man, there's gonna be there should 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.680 be passing opportunities there. 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.040 And they also are on a team that. 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.240 Blitz is a whole bunch because they have faith that 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.040 they can get home with for so this offensive line, 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.040 to me, the Cowboys offensive line just has to be 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:16.400 stout and maybe not be so reactive to the fact that, hey, 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.520 this defense plays up field, they're fast, they're aggressive, take 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.640 advantage of that, screens things like that, getting these getting 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:24.280 these guys out. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.440 In space, making them run. Their linebackers are fantastic. However, 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.720 if you run at these guys. 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.280 And if you get them in open space, we saw 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.640 some success last year from Tony Pollard before he got 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.200 injured as well, So I would go, I think there 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.840 is opportunity there for this offense. But going against this 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.640 defensive line, you just got to be I think you 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:43.840 got to do some of the. 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.920 Horizontal stuff and make them run, make them run. 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.200 Yeah, I agree with you one hundred percent, and I 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.160 think that they're gonna use the aggression against them, absolutely, 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:57.120 and by that I mean the defensive backs too. Say that, yeah, 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.440 and you're right about Stafford having some clean pockets. And 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.640 then you look at last weekend and yeah, they took 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.360 care of the Cardinals, but the Cardinals had a ninety 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.120 nine yard drive in that game on offense, and then 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.320 the second half they were moving the ball, So it's possible. 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.520 But I was very interested by something coach McCarthy said 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.200 today and then asked him about it in his walk off, 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.040 and we had talked about vision defense, so we know 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.680 that that that that's something that to expect, as they 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:30.920 did back in week two. But he says the vision 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:35.880 vision and the time clock is tied to the pass rush. 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:40.800 So what that means is the defensive backs, as I 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.440 used to says it, you know, they're expecting that the 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.920 line is going to get to the quarterback and so 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.640 they kind of have that timing in their head of Okay, 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.199 I know Bosa, I know Armstead, I know Feral that 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.960 I'm expecting these guys, if not to make the sack, 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:02.040 to at least affect the passer so maybe jump a route, 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.640 be aggressive. You're going to see some press coverage here, 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.480 and so whether if you can if you can get 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:15.360 blocking them. And those guys are being aggressive against your 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:20.480 wide receivers in the pass routes, double moves, baby double moves, 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:25.360 use the aggression against them. So Ceedee Lamb was asked 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.640 about it today and he says, that's the thing is 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.680 you know that they're going to be physical, and you 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.600 know that with their pass rush, you might get three 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.679 and a half seconds to do your route, but you 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.480 ain't getting four right because because they're they're going to 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:42.080 be coming. And so these wide receivers are very cognizant 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.280 of that. They know it's going to be physical. They 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.320 know that they can't be pushed off their route. But 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.320 if they can just get that three and a half 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.800 seconds and just get that just enough of an opening 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.720 for Dak to get the ball in there, uh, you know, 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.160 I think there are some chances for some place. And 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.360 the other thing is when defense backs are very aggressive 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.800 and they're going for the ball, if they don't get it, 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.080 you've got a chance for yards after catch. If you 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:11.400 can slip past that guy, then you know it's gonna 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.640 be tough sledding against the forty nine ers, but it's 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.160 also opportunities for some possible big plays. 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:17.760 Yes, mam, there you go. I love that. Let's go 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.079 ahead and take our first break.

It's gonna be a great game regardless. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.920 Can I say what I'm I'm just happy, lit. I 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.240 am anxious to see if we can get through the 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:55.520 pregame warm ups without any incidents because if you guys 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.520 remember last year, I really had not seen this before 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.520 in well back then it would have been twenty four 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:06.760 years on the sideline. But the specialists are generally out 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.280 there by themselves. So you'll have the kicker, the holder, 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.240 and the deep snapper for both of the teams out there, 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:14.880 and they take turns, you know, want to work on 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.760 one side of the field, want to work on the other, 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.360 and then they kind of cross paths, you know, switching 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.040 other sides and stuff, and then some other players will 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.480 come out there. But there's a good portion of pregame 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.360 where it's just the specialists. So last year of this 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:32.840 playoff game divisional round and there's Maher and Brian Anger 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:38.760 and it can't even get through the warm ups, Trent Williams, 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:43.000 who's the All Pro left tackle. They literally the forty 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.120 nine ers are walking through the cowboy Brett Maher and 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.720 as they're trying to set the ball and not like 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.080 walking between you know, in the direct line of the snap, 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:56.120 but alongside getting in the eye line of the players. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.400 It's kind of like in golf, you don't you don't 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.920 get in the eye line of someone when they're putting 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.440 or anything like that, and it's just like a man. 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.160 And so there was tension before the game even kicked off. 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.679 There was tension when it's just the specialists who are 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.280 on the sideline out on the field and the rest 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.200 of the team hadn't even come out there, and so 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.640 actually the officiating crews weren't even out there yet. So 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:24.840 it's like, I'm really anxious to see that there was 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.640 a I know that Brian Anger and those guys that 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.200 they were not happy with the way things went we 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:35.680 had last season were anger and oh my gosh, trends, 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.040 there's the pun Trent. 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.120 Yeah, that's how try and get down, Yes, how you 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.880 get that way that's who he is, so we'll see 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:44.880 how they respond. 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.000 That's something I definitely thought about as well. 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:48.800 Thank thank you, thank you. 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:49.960 I was waiting for my God. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.280 All right, let's continue on. No, Chris, you bring up 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.480 a really good point, and a big topic of conversation 0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.400 with the guys in the locker room is how do 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.440 you state you been killed when this is such an 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.200 emotionally fueled game. Whether it is just a week five 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.360 game to you, you see it that way or not, 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.320 that can't erase the fact that there is history there, 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:16.480 and not just the history with everything going in years past, 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.040 but specifically these last two years with these teams and 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.200 with very similar players, right, like you were just talking 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:28.120 about with Trent Williams, and how much the last two 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.680 years you have heard the guys in locker room talk 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.680 about this bad taste they have in their mouth from 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.320 losing to the same team that kind of has their 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.560 number and that they know it and they're just so 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:41.000 ready to slay that dragon and be done with that 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.240 rhetoric and be done with the topic of conversation of 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.400 you can't beat the forty nine ers. So the big 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.800 question has been, well, how do you stay so even 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.200 killed does this feel more like a playoff game? Really 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.920 when you look at it, and I think it really 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.040 depends on who you talk to. A lot of the 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.760 guys will go in there. I liked what Ceedee Lamb 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.400 said today. He said, if you talk about history too much, 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.560 history is going to repeat itself. So we just kind 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.200 of have to take it as what it is a 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.080 Week five matchup. Jonathan Hankins earlier in the week had 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.880 a conference call and he said, Yeah, this very much 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.640 feels like a playoff game. So again, it just kind 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.720 of depends on who you're talking to, But overall are stual. 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:19.880 I'm going to go to you first for this. You 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:21.920 talk to a lot of the guys today, Where are 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.680 their minds that going into this game? And what kind 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.360 of fuel did you get out of the locker room 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.120 after picking their brains a little bit? What are you 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:30.800 seeing from them? 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.840 Just very to me, I felt a team that's very 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.160 confident in their game plan, confident and their coaching, confident 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.960 in their film study, which has been extensive. I think 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.440 I even heard I don't know, I don't know, Phils 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.960 Micha McCarthy, one of them just referenced just how much 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.320 they did some extra hours of film study because this 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.880 specifically also did Like this offense, the forty nine ers offense, 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.200 it's complex, there's a lot going on, you know. So 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.640 I feel like from what I got from talking to 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.000 a lot of the players is that they're they are. 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:04.399 It's a quiet confidence, it's not a boastful confidence, and 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:07.680 say very much. So they've seen the've you you mentioned 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.800 the point that a lot of the forty nine Ers 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.439 hasn't changed. A lot of the cowboys on the offensive 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.720 side has changed, but there just hasn't been a whole 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.440 bunch of changes in certain things. 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:18.159 So it's just like you got to go do it. 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:19.800 You just got to go do it, you. 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:20.280 Know what I'm saying. 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.000 So that's that's the energy I've gotten from a lot 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.119 of the guys. Quiet confidence, confident in their game plan 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.679 and what they've done to get to this point, to 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:30.600 get over that hump, this hump that you know we've 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:32.400 been mentioning, it's quite confidence. 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:32.640 Yeah. 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.359 How it was somebody in the locker room that I 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.040 knew people were going to swarm a little bit as 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.800 soon as he came in. That was Trey Lance, who, obviously, 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.600 as you know, has a history with the San Francisco 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.440 forty nine ers. So very similar to last week when 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.960 Will Greer was in the chats for the Patriots side 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.119 of things and we were having that conversation of how 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.679 he could potentially help, you know, the Patriots kind of 0:17:55.720 --> 0:18:00.840 infiltrate the Cowboys systems and what he knows. Similar conversation 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.280 with Tree Lance. Did you get to catch up with 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.720 Trade today and hear kind of what he said about 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:05.400 returning back. 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.040 Yeah, Trey kind of he downplayed it a bit. He's like, yeah, 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.280 but what he can provide is inside on why they're 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:18.359 doing certain things and what they're looking for. So, you know, 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.960 does he know the game plan and what to expect. No, 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:26.119 but he can shed insight on a few things and 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.120 it's helpful. But that's really as much for the coaches 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:34.800 for anybody else. But it's mainly Cooper Rush that is 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.640 pretending to be Brock Perdy this week, right, Because your 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:41.640 backup quarterback runs the scout team, and so the first 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:45.120 team defense during the week doesn't practice against the Cowboys 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.359 first team offense. They practice against the practice squad guys 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.200 and the backups on the fifty three man roster who 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:55.440 are running plays off of cards. It's called running off cards, 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.879 and they are running forty nine ers plays, at least 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.680 plays that the cow Boys coaches think that the forty 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.400 nine ers are going to run. So Cooper Rush would 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.159 do most of this week pretending to be brought party, 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.200 and then Trey Lance would presumably get a few. That's 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:14.960 how it generally works on a regular week. But let's 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.320 hope that we don't see Trey Lance in this game 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.760 because he's going to be the emergency third quarterback again 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.679 as he is through the first four weeks. So the 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:25.760 only way that you would see Trey Lance in this 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:29.400 game is if both Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush were 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:31.359 both injured and not able to return to action. 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:33.480 You know what I thought was interesting, I'm gonna go 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.679 to you for this one too, is you heard DeMarcus 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.360 Lawrence talking about getting to spend some time with Trey 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.600 Lance as he went into some of the defensive meetings 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:43.679 to kind of give his insight in his thoughts. I 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:48.119 thought that was really cool. Yeah, there as well, aisha. 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.800 When it comes to somebody like DeMarcus Lawrence, who is 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:55.639 just such an impactful player for being a veteran that 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:57.680 he is, he sets the tone, he's quick with it. 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:02.760 How can both him and Michael Parsons really really shine 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.600 in this game? What do they have to do to 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:06.639 be able to get that pass rush or earn it 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:08.399 like they like to say, earn that pass rush. What 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.920 are some of the key things you noticed as far 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:14.040 as the forty nine ers offense goes. How can this 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:15.840 d line on the opposite side of things we're talking 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.400 about the Cowboys D line earn that pass rush and 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:19.440 go from there. 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:23.720 Yeah, I think Tank mentioned, you know, staying in the 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.240 backfield with them, you know, just living in the backfield 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:26.760 and the way. 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:29.240 That you do that, especially with the forty nine ers. 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:32.760 They are a slide of hand offense, I would say, 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:35.200 is that they are looking to get your eyes. 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:36.840 Looking one way and go on the other way. 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.480 One thing that also makes them unique is the fact 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:44.120 that they run double motion rather so it's a secondary motion. 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:46.600 So most offenses you'll see a guy kind of go in. 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.920 Motion it's for the other team to get some information. No, 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:53.480 these guys their motion in two sometimes three times on 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:56.400 the line of scrimmage. And so with the defense, when 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.879 DeMarcus Lauren says we just have to play our keys, 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:03.520 he's being very literal. It's it's very difficult to do 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:05.919 to be disciplined in that way. But they have to 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.760 just be disciplined and play their assignment because the forty 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:11.119 nine ers are trying to get you to just slide 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:12.960 a little bit to the left, a little bit to 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.239 the right, one guy be out of position, and then 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:18.600 they're getting yakyards. So when you're to answer your question 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:22.200 with someone like a DeMarcus Lawrence, that's where he thrives. 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.800 He is fantastic against the run. He's such a cerebral player, 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:26.719 so intelligent. 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.440 If he can lead with just. 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.919 Playing his keys, getting making sure guys are in the 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.160 right spot, there's gonna be plays there. 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:35.840 But also too, the right. 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.440 Tackle for the forty nine ers has had a little 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:41.200 bit of trouble. I think it's I don't want to 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:45.920 ruin his name, mckis mckivts. Yeah, I mean he's he's 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.600 given up quite a few pressures for sacks. He's he's 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:51.880 a gentleman that's still trying to figure out things as 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.920 well there and so I expect for DeMarcus Lawrence to 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.720 take advantage of some of those opportunities well as well. 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:01.280 The defense sure tackling is the number one thing this 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:05.199 weekend because they get so many yards after contact, so 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.800 many yards after catch. And the other thing is and 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.919 this is something that dan Quinn was talking about Monday, 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.320 and we referenced it briefly on Monday afternoon, but I 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:17.760 went through and transcribed because I think this is really 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:22.040 important because he was talking about see Kyle Shanahan, he 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:24.280 calls the plays for the forty nine ers and his dad, 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:28.440 Mike Shanahan winning those Super Bowls with the Broncos back 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:31.440 in the nineties, you know, and Mike Shanahan his run 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:33.960 game and the way that they did things. That's not 0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:36.919 how Kyle does things anymore. It's a different kind of 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:42.560 thing run and so instead a gap scheme, you know, 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:46.720 that's the instead of I'm sorry, Mike ran zone schemes 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:49.600 and Kyle runs more gap schemes. But here's the thing. 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:53.640 What they do a great job of, according to dan Quinn, 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:59.400 is making their play their pass plays look like their 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:03.480 run play. So he says, if your pass plays don't 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:06.080 look like your run game, they're really not that effective. 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:07.960 But one of the things that Kyle and his father 0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:12.400 certainly had was their run looked like the keepers coming out. 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.879 The power looked like the trap passes coming down the field. 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.919 So when you can marry a run, look, you marry 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.040 that to a pass protection look, and that's where they 0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:25.520 get the advantage. So what does that mean for the defense? 0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:29.239 It means if you're a linebacker, you can't hesitate in 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:32.560 this game. If it's you're going to have to go downhill. 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:36.399 Dan says, to do that run, but you're going to 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:39.480 have to be decisive. You can't hesitate because they'll pull 0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:41.000 a bet and they'll pop it right over you. 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:42.119 And that's what Michael said. 0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:44.680 That's what Micah when I touch base with him today 0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:46.960 when I was asking him just about some of the 0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:49.480 things that they do where they bring a full back 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:52.600 or wide receiver whatever across the line and they trap, 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:56.480 Like how do you stop that? And how do you 0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:58.240 do you try to get ahead of that or behind that? 0:23:58.280 --> 0:23:59.920 And he's like, no, you just got to go do it. 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.240 You can't be hesitant with this offense. I mean, yeah, 0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:05.679 you can't be hesitant. They have to be decisive and 0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:08.880 just go make the play. Like whatever you see, trust that, 0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:12.439 Trust that, because what they want you to do is 0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:15.960 second guess yourself and ye out a position, so just 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:18.880 a lot of When you talk about sound football, DeMarcus 0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:22.199 Lawrence is one of the absolute best, and so I 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:26.280 really think if he leads in that right to play sound, the. 0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:28.080 Rest of the guys will follow. Sudan, It'll be a 0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:28.480 good game. 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:30.480 You know what I think is so interesting too about 0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:32.679 this game. And Dan Quinn is actually the one that 0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.439 brought this up. He was asked about the versatility within 0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:39.320 the forty nine ers offense of guys that can play 0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:42.640 different positions. Right, so you have tight ends that can 0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:46.840 play receiver, you have just really everything. And he said, well, 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:48.960 our guys can do that too on this side of 0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:52.560 the fall. So it's versatility versus versatility, which is a 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:55.879 pretty rare matchup considering that's really hard to do. You know, 0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:58.840 you hear about Dan's defense being able to be so 0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:02.080 versatile when you have your linebackers that can be safeties 0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:04.200 and vice versa and you can kind of move guys 0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:06.719 around like that, that's a really hard task to do. 0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:08.879 It sounds easy when you're just talking about it day 0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:12.200 to day and you're like, oh, look Bell is now 0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:15.520 playing safety, and you just don't really think about how 0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:18.600 difficult that is for these guys to do. But when 0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:21.000 you're able to play those mind games. We talked about 0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.240 this on this podcast last year, and Dan Quinn is 0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.800 so good at keeping people guessing because you don't really 0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:29.560 know what's coming. Forty nine Ers offense is able to 0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:31.640 do that on the offensive side of the ball. So 0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:35.840 you really have a great matchup with the versatility that 0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:39.919 you're able to just play within this game. And I 0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:42.600 think that's so intriguing about this matchup specifically. 0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:45.800 Yeah, yeah, there are very few defenses that can match 0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:48.719 up as well as the Cowboys can match up against 0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:50.879 all of those weapons that the forty nine ers have. 0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:55.640 And one thing Micah said is that Christian McCaffrey, they're 0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:59.360 running back who's leading the league in rushing yards. That 0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:02.240 he's he's just as good as a wide receiver that 0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:04.800 sometimes you want to put a defensive back on him, 0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:07.320 you know, he's that good at running routes. 0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:13.119 Christian McCaffrey, by the way, this season alone already has 0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:18.760 forty two points. He is that red zone threat that 0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:23.280 you have to contain. You have to contain him, especially 0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:28.200 in the red zone. Look, man will find the end zone. 0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:29.280 Oh yeah, find it? 0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:32.400 How good is he he broke Jerry brought Jerry Rice's 0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:36.280 team record for consecutive games with a touchdown. So that's 0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:39.679 that's not only how prolific he's been, but how consistent 0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:42.240 he's been dating back to last season. That was one 0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:44.560 of the that's going to go down as one of 0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:48.120 the great in season trades, I think in NFL history. 0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:50.920 Getting Christian McCaffrey the way that they did from Carolina 0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:52.800 last year, what a great move. 0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:56.640 Now that offense runs through him, I mean, it's it's 0:26:56.640 --> 0:26:59.080 hard to grant it like they're gonna make plays and 0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:02.280 things like that, but it's he is such an important 0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:04.840 part of what they do. And they depend on their 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.359 running backs a lot and running their running backs do 0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:07.880 a lot. 0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:09.199 Of their work in the open field. 0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:13.760 And Kyle used check a dying breed in this league 0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:16.040 being a real full back, but he can do so 0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:18.040 much as a tight end. They use him so much 0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:21.520 in blocking and blocking schemes. He's almost an extra lineman, 0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:24.080 you know. So I'm also just looking at, you know, 0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:26.760 with the forty nine ers offense, they really want to 0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:31.760 cost traffic. They do a lot of crossers and and where. 0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:32.800 They're trying to get your guys. 0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:36.280 They're trying to do like involuntary rub routes and things 0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:36.600 like that. 0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:39.520 They're trying to Oh, they're not involuntary. 0:27:39.240 --> 0:27:40.359 They're not trying to be fair. 0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:41.920 Look, look, I'm trying to be fair. 0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:45.200 What's the difference between a pick and a rub route. 0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:47.480 It's just the way you say, Yeah, if. 0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:49.879 You're on offense, it's a rub route because that's legal. 0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:52.200 If you're on defense, you were picked and it should 0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:54.240 have been a flag. That's the difference between a pick 0:27:54.280 --> 0:27:54.720 and a rub. 0:27:55.000 --> 0:27:55.200 Yeah. 0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:57.919 And so they run a lot of that type of stuff. 0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:00.240 And so you know, one of the Cowboys are heavy 0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:03.000 man team and one of the heaviest like running man 0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:06.040 teams in NFL. I'm really wondering if they're gonna maybe 0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:08.000 run a little bit more zone, you know, to be 0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:11.400 able to maybe do some vision defense, maybe make brock 0:28:11.480 --> 0:28:14.360 Purty have to fit balls in small places, because when 0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:17.720 you play man against this team, you really play into 0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:19.760 their hands in the way that they like to clog 0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:23.639 the line of scrimmage and cluster guys together. So for 0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:26.720 this defense to be successful, I really think that that 0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:29.080 might be something we see more than what we've seen 0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.480 this year is them running more zone concepts. 0:28:32.200 --> 0:28:34.880 I'm curious to see what you think of Brock party 0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:36.040 What do you think. 0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:40.040 I think the guy has Uh, he's played incredibly efficient. 0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:42.080 They're running an offense for him. 0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:45.400 That for I'm not gonna knock a young player for 0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:49.200 having help and figuring things out and sorting through things. 0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:52.360 He's not afraid to take some chances, you know, throwing 0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:55.360 the ball downfield. It's just they've they've made it to 0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:57.320 where he does not have to do a whole bunch 0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:00.200 of decision making and he's definitely just getting. 0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:01.520 The ball in hands of his playmakers. 0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:03.720 I think his accuracy is improved a lot too from 0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:04.320 last year. 0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:07.520 Yeah, if I can steal something from Mark Sanchez, who 0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:09.600 spent a year here with the Cowboys as the former 0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:12.680 Jets for you know, first round pick quarterback in the 0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:14.880 league for many years, And he was working the game 0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:20.120 for CBS last week, and he had the best analogy 0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:22.840 for Brock Perdy. And that's something that we've kind of 0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:25.840 talked about before. But it's being the proverbial point guard 0:29:26.400 --> 0:29:29.320 and that he just he's got so many weapons and 0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:32.720 gets the ball out so quickly, and that West Coast 0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:36.320 it's not the exact same West Coast that Mike McCarthy runs. 0:29:36.360 --> 0:29:38.160 But it's what have we been talking about this whole 0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:40.600 offseason and going into this season. Get the ball out 0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:42.960 quickly and let the guys make plays. Get it to 0:29:43.000 --> 0:29:45.840 them in space. That's what they've been doing so beautifully 0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:51.280 with Purdy in San Francisco. But ash do y'all's point, 0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:54.920 he'd get it downfield too, and Iyuk is something and 0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:58.320 Deebo Samuel, he hasn't really been healthy. We haven't seen 0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:01.120 like the real debo this year. But oh my gosh, 0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:04.360 let's hope that he stays undeboi ish at least for 0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:05.840 another weekend undevo. 0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:10.720 Deebo was on the practice report yesterday for the forty 0:30:10.800 --> 0:30:14.600 nine ers. I haven't gotten today's just yet, but Deebo 0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:17.080 was on the practice report and I'm trying. 0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:18.640 Yeah, I think he's battling shoulders. 0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:21.880 Yeah, he says right here. On Wednesday, he was limited 0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:25.040 with ribs and knee ribs. 0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:28.479 Okay, that's a tough one. A wide receiver. 0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:31.480 He got dropped a couple of games. Yeah, and he's 0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:33.239 been he's been, has been the same. Now he's been 0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:36.240 struggling with that. But yeah, it's you mentioned Auk and 0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:36.840 those guys. 0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:38.320 Oh, he's a freak. 0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:41.800 Don Bland is gonna They're gonna think that matchup is 0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:43.960 gonna be cool because they played against each other in college. 0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:48.080 You think they're gonna travel brand Deron Bland Maybe rather. 0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:51.240 Him, Okay, I would rather have to deal with him 0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:54.040 because Brandon, I you, out of his out of his releases. 0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:56.600 His route running has just improved so much. 0:30:56.920 --> 0:31:00.440 And when they do, I mean, they're not a lot 0:31:00.440 --> 0:31:02.800 of shots down field, but when they do their effective 0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:07.000 because people are again they're biting on what's going on 0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:09.480 at the line of scrimmage and all the decoration stuff 0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:10.440 I call it decoration. 0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:13.520 Yeah, decorations, window dresses, sprinkles. 0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:14.520 Yeah, you know. 0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:18.040 Brandon ayaka three hundred and twenty yards so far this season. 0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:24.320 He is seventeen of twenty targets. He averages about eighteen 0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:25.640 point eight yards per carry. 0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:27.320 Minds, you play three. 0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:30.320 Games this season, not four, so imagine if that was 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:33.560 four games. He has two touchdowns. His longest reception so 0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:36.680 far has been forty two yards. 0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:40.280 One thing about party though, One thing that Mike McCarthy 0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:42.160 I heard him mention. You know, when we talk about 0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:45.720 the turnover battle is that the statistics show that there's 0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.520 more turnovers coming from from fumbles and. 0:31:50.040 --> 0:31:51.000 From quarterbacks. 0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:53.760 And one thing about party, he's put the ball on 0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:55.640 the ground. He will put the ball on the ground, 0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:58.800 not just this year. They haven't been recovered, but he's 0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:00.000 done it.

What do we need to know? 0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:06.720 Gotcha? So I came from a sports anchor reporter, local 0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:11.120 TV background. So I started off in Alexandria, Louisiana when 0:35:11.120 --> 0:35:14.600 I graduated from college at Howard University, and then I 0:35:14.640 --> 0:35:16.960 went on to work at the Tennis Channel for like 0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:18.960 a couple of weeks, did some work with them, and 0:35:19.040 --> 0:35:21.960 then I landed a spot as a sports anchor reporter 0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:27.480 at Lexington, Kentucky, covering the University of Kentucky, women's basketball, football, 0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:29.040 men's basketball. 0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:30.040 So pretty much all those sports. 0:35:30.360 --> 0:35:33.600 Oh yeah, now I'm here. Man. Kentucky has been on 0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:35.920 fire with their football. Everyone thinks of it as a 0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:37.239 basketball school man. 0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:39.839 The past two years they've Last year was a little 0:35:39.880 --> 0:35:42.200 downfall after the year before. But this year I feel 0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:44.480 like they got Georgia this week. I know Patrick with 0:35:44.560 --> 0:35:46.200 noc is gonna hear me and say this, but I 0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:47.800 think they're gonna get the dope against Georgia. 0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:48.760 They're playing really well. 0:35:48.800 --> 0:35:52.920 Yeah yeah, fine words, I know, I know. I'm confident 0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:55.360 in those boys. They've got a lot of talent on 0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:57.160 that team, so said, I don't want you want to 0:35:57.160 --> 0:35:58.640 miss it, but I'm here covering the Cowboys. 0:35:58.719 --> 0:36:02.200 Yeah, if you're originally, if you're from Louisiana or had 0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:05.360 time there, you have your allegiance has always been to 0:36:05.400 --> 0:36:08.240 the Cowboys. Or so I'm from Houston, Texas. 0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:12.000 We go coming out. 0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:16.239 I respect what the mico got going on over there. 0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:21.560 Yeah, like they're on their way back from Galveston, Texas. 0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:25.760 So originally so you know respect. 0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:27.919 Yes, my mom though her side of the family, they're 0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:30.319 all Dallas Cowboys fans, so when they knew I got 0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:33.359 the job, they were screaming and hollering. But no, I've 0:36:33.360 --> 0:36:35.840 been a Houston Texas fan. Grew up technically as a 0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:38.279 Chicago Bears fan because my dad played. 0:36:38.040 --> 0:36:38.640 For the Bears. 0:36:38.719 --> 0:36:41.960 But after that, go yeah, then I kind of was like, 0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:44.640 let me switch over to the Texans, and now I'm 0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:45.879 gonna be a Cowboys fan. 0:36:45.960 --> 0:36:49.360 I can feel it. I feel it coming, feel it, Bruin. Well, Nicole, 0:36:49.480 --> 0:36:53.680 you just started, and so what has been the you 0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:55.879 were in the locker room today, what has been the thing? 0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:58.080 That's what a week to start? First of all, let's 0:36:58.080 --> 0:37:00.000 start there. What has been the thing that has stood 0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:03.319 out to you the most from this team, just what 0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:05.960 you've seen in the locker room and what you've gathered 0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:08.240 about them going into this Week five matchup. 0:37:08.320 --> 0:37:11.319 I'd say they're confidence. Every single time you talk to 0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:13.400 a player, just hear a player talk, you hear how 0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:15.200 they're so confident in this week. 0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:17.560 And I actually got a chance to ask Dak. 0:37:17.600 --> 0:37:19.120 I was like, listen, I know you're probably tired of 0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.520 hearing about, you know, the last two playoff losses to. 0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:22.600 The forty nine ers. 0:37:22.600 --> 0:37:26.720 But he was like pretty much, you know you're thinking 0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:28.520 about what he was saying, but no, I know he 0:37:28.640 --> 0:37:30.799 was probably like, you know, underlying, I know, they're just 0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:33.160 confident and ready to prove a lot of people wrong 0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:35.279 because they're going in as the underdogs for the first 0:37:35.280 --> 0:37:38.000 time this year. So yeah, I think that confidence is 0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:40.359 like the biggest thing that I've gathered from this team. 0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:43.160 Yeah, we called it quiet. It's like a quiet confidence. 0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:46.040 It's not boastful, but it's like I trust my game plan, 0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:48.359 I trust my I trust my teammates, and it's it's 0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:50.120 just that's the energy I felt this week too. 0:37:50.280 --> 0:37:52.920 Yeah, and it's a different team from the way that 0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:55.719 that game ended or even part way through the game, 0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:59.320 because when Tony Pollard suffered the ankle injury and that 0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:03.800 that game that basically after he went out, that offense 0:38:03.920 --> 0:38:05.760 was kind of like a car that you get stuck 0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:08.400 in the mud and you're spinning the tires, but you're 0:38:08.440 --> 0:38:11.799 not getting anywhere. And so not only is Pollard back 0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:14.839 and the number one back and healthy going into this game, 0:38:14.880 --> 0:38:17.360 and by the way, Rico Daubdell being able to practice 0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:22.760 today inspite of the hip injury, that's important. But Brandon Cooks, 0:38:23.120 --> 0:38:26.520 you know, we haven't really seen him unleashed yet. And 0:38:26.600 --> 0:38:30.120 so I this is this offense for the Cowboys. As 0:38:30.160 --> 0:38:33.080 good as they were last year, they weren't. Yeah, that 0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:37.400 wasn't the full thing that we saw in that divisional 0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:39.480 round game. So I'm super excited for Sunday. 0:38:39.600 --> 0:38:42.920 Absolutely. And you know what I find so interesting we 0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:45.719 talked about this earlier this week, was Michaelcarthy hasn't had 0:38:45.760 --> 0:38:48.239 to show his full hand yet, and this is the 0:38:48.239 --> 0:38:51.439 perfect opportunity that if you want to show your full 0:38:51.480 --> 0:38:55.040 hand and what exactly your team can do. Everything he's 0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:56.560 been building up for this team to do that in 0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:58.640 this game. I mean, you're talking about Brandon Cooks. He 0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:00.000 hasn't gotten Cooken yet. 0:39:01.360 --> 0:39:03.320 My gosh, I felt that would. 0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:03.960 She knew it? 0:39:06.160 --> 0:39:09.680 There you go, oh gosh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm running 0:39:09.680 --> 0:39:10.280 out of coins. 0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:14.239 Yes, Christy, take up second mortgage. 0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:14.799 No. 0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:17.160 But my point is you haven't seen it yet because 0:39:17.200 --> 0:39:19.879 you haven't had to. And you have what a good 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:21.960 problem to have is you have just this room full 0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:25.560 of playmakers that you didn't know this. You know, the 0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:28.480 last time these two teams met, you didn't know what 0:39:28.560 --> 0:39:31.040 your wide receiver group would look like. You didn't know 0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:32.919 what your tied end group was capable of. And they're 0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:35.560 coming together as well. On that side too, your running 0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:38.480 back group, you didn't know. You wouldn't have Ezekiel Elliott, 0:39:38.560 --> 0:39:40.680 who was banged up the last time that they played, 0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:42.759 and he really was trying to take that full load 0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:45.719 in this previous game. Tony Pollard goes out and your 0:39:45.760 --> 0:39:49.040 momentum shifts and then it just kind of went from there. 0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:51.560 But now you also have these guys that, as much 0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:55.120 as they say this is just another game, they want 0:39:55.160 --> 0:39:57.359 that monkey off their back. They don't want to talk 0:39:57.400 --> 0:39:59.600 about it anymore. And like you said, Nicole, I loved 0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:02.200 your question to dak today. All right, we have about 0:40:02.239 --> 0:40:04.520 five minutes left. So one thing I want to post 0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:06.719 to the table is there's still two kryptonites of the 0:40:06.800 --> 0:40:10.120 Dallas Cowboys team that seem to haunt them, if you will, 0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:14.200 when it comes to their losses or just not their 0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:16.640 best showing, one being the run defense and then the 0:40:16.680 --> 0:40:20.200 other one being the red zone woes and not capitalizing 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:23.319 in the red zone. I shall start over here with you. 0:40:23.880 --> 0:40:27.759 What can the offense do to make sure that the 0:40:27.760 --> 0:40:30.319 red zone conversation is put to bed this week? What 0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:32.239 do they need to do in the red zone, specifically 0:40:32.280 --> 0:40:33.839 against his forty nine ers defense man. 0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:36.640 Listen, I'm trying to see some rpo. I'm trying to 0:40:36.640 --> 0:40:38.600 see Dad get some touches down there. I'm trying to 0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:41.760 see them, you know, with this offensive line being put together, 0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:43.560 we'll see how they run the ball down there. But 0:40:44.160 --> 0:40:46.799 something's got to give. I mean, the forty nine Ers 0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:49.319 are twenty third in red zone scoring rate, so it's 0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:51.759 people are scoring sixty six percent down there on them. 0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:53.640 So that's kind of where they get a little fluky. 0:40:53.880 --> 0:40:57.360 Cowboys are ranked thirtieth at thirty six thirty six point 0:40:57.360 --> 0:40:59.080 eighty four in the red zone as far as a 0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:03.040 scoring percentage, So that battle right there is like it's 0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:05.960 pivotal to what the turnout of this game is going 0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:09.759 to be. For me, it's it's really just seeing a 0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:12.160 little bit more of the r PO. If you look 0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.640 at some of the previous games, it looks like there's 0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:17.160 been opportunities there for Dak. I want them to take them. 0:41:17.200 --> 0:41:19.759 Because the forty nine ers are an aggressive defense. They 0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:23.359 get upfield, the middle of that the middle of that 0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:26.400 defense sometimes is open just because those guys are so aggressive, 0:41:26.440 --> 0:41:28.160 So RPO go some of that in there. 0:41:28.160 --> 0:41:29.279 For me, I want to see some of that from 0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:29.840 my quarterback. 0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:32.560 Yeah, I just want to see Tony Pollard play a 0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:36.080 full game against them because I'm really excited about that. 0:41:36.360 --> 0:41:39.600 And when you talk about them all tight ends and 0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:42.919 then them really stepping up and targeting them, that that's 0:41:42.960 --> 0:41:44.759 really going to help in your red zone, not just 0:41:44.800 --> 0:41:46.080 for this game, but through the season. 0:41:46.360 --> 0:41:48.400 I want to see those wide receivers actually get a 0:41:48.520 --> 0:41:52.200 huge game. I know Ceedee Lamb that first touchdown targeted 0:41:52.239 --> 0:41:54.440 to a wide receiver last week, So I really want 0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:56.680 to see these wide receivers and Brandon Cooks he has 0:41:56.719 --> 0:41:58.640 not I'm not going to say it he's out had 0:41:58.640 --> 0:42:00.520 a gem. No, I'm not going to say. I'm not 0:42:00.520 --> 0:42:02.879 going to say we haven't seen a lot out of him. 0:42:02.880 --> 0:42:04.880 But that's why they got him, you know, for games 0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:06.560 like these. So I really want to see these wide 0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:08.200 receivers have a big game. 0:42:08.640 --> 0:42:10.920 You know what I want to see And I'm bouncing 0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:13.080 off of Christy here with Tony Pollard. I want to 0:42:13.080 --> 0:42:15.799 see your other running back special packages that you have 0:42:15.840 --> 0:42:17.759 with the Duce Vaughn and a Hunter Lipkey in the 0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:21.040 red zone. I think a Hunters that unspoken hero are 0:42:21.440 --> 0:42:23.879 overly spoken if you get on Twitter and they're praising him, 0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:27.920 calling him governor President Lipke on Cowboys Twitter. But I 0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:30.240 want to see those special packages that you hear about 0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:32.560 that that they haven't we just haven't seen yet. I 0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:34.399 want to see a little bit of more Deuce Vaughn 0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:36.880 in there as well, But overall, I just want to 0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:38.839 see what the solution is. Who's your red zone guy? 0:42:38.880 --> 0:42:40.560 I want to see that starting to be established this 0:42:40.560 --> 0:42:41.920 week going for I don't think it needs to. 0:42:42.000 --> 0:42:45.040 You need to be one, yeah, multiple multiple BIS game 0:42:45.200 --> 0:42:48.200 for this game, and yeah, to see somebody because with 0:42:48.280 --> 0:42:50.479 the matchups it could be a different guy each week. 0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:52.759 And that's what's so wonderful is you have so many 0:42:52.800 --> 0:42:57.719 weapons versatility. But here's the thing, whatever it's going to be, 0:42:58.120 --> 0:43:01.080 who wins the takeaway battle? Why do we last year? 0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:03.120 What did I say every week going into a game Homeever? 0:43:03.200 --> 0:43:06.040 Why should turnover battle? Well, dang it with this one, 0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:09.239 they've only had one giveaway. The Cowboys have only had 0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:13.080 one giveaway, So you can there are so many weapons 0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:15.640 on each side of the ball both of these teams. 0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:19.799 You cannot give away your possessions and give them extra ones. 0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:22.600 Let's go around the table. Who do you expect to 0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:24.279 have a big game? 0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:26.720 Yeah, y'all already said it. But uh, Brandon Cooks. 0:43:26.760 --> 0:43:30.160 I mean there's a lot of opportunity in this secondary 0:43:30.239 --> 0:43:33.759 to take advantage shallow crossers, things of that nature. I 0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:35.600 think that he should be able to sit in some 0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:37.719 of those zones and do some things there. 0:43:37.920 --> 0:43:41.080 Savvy, really savvy. But this is again, this is an 0:43:41.080 --> 0:43:43.120 aggressive forward playing defense. 0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:47.319 Run past them, run past them, show that threat and 0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:48.239 go ahead, and you know. 0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:50.080 Just go ahead and do it, like I'm ready to 0:43:50.160 --> 0:43:50.640 just see it. 0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:53.080 So Brandon Cooks is really one of the guys that 0:43:53.080 --> 0:43:55.279 I think could open up this offense for the rest 0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:56.960 of the whole game if they even just go at 0:43:57.000 --> 0:43:58.600 them early in a deep pass. 0:43:58.640 --> 0:43:59.160 So let's do. 0:43:59.120 --> 0:44:01.759 It, Pickybacking off of that, I'm going with Ceedee Lamb 0:44:01.760 --> 0:44:03.960 though you haven't seen the best of him yet this season, 0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:06.800 just because he hasn't been targeted that much, so I 0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:08.840 want to see him actually be explosive. He's one of 0:44:08.880 --> 0:44:11.520 the fastest receivers out in the league, so I want 0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:14.359 to see him. I think he's gonna have a lot 0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:16.560 of success this week, especially by the way that he 0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:18.600 was so confident in the locker room earlier when we 0:44:18.640 --> 0:44:19.279 got a chance to. 0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:19.719 Talk to him. 0:44:19.920 --> 0:44:22.000 I'm gonna go defensive side of the ball, and I'm 0:44:22.160 --> 0:44:25.200 actually been vacillating between Layton vander esh because you talk 0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:29.120 about going downhill and stopping the run and yep, But 0:44:30.120 --> 0:44:33.799 then I'm thinking Donovan Wilson or jay Ron. Curse jay 0:44:33.840 --> 0:44:36.520 Ron with the way that you can do that. Okay, 0:44:36.600 --> 0:44:40.239 if you shocked, you can do Donovan, And I'll go 0:44:40.280 --> 0:44:42.560 with jay Ron. How about that, Jess, who you're going 0:44:42.640 --> 0:44:43.040 to go with. 0:44:43.400 --> 0:44:47.040 I'm going with Jake Ferguson. Fergie ferg you saw him 0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:50.440 getting warmed up last week, and that's because he's getting 0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:52.919 ready to go. He's getting ready for takeoff. You need 0:44:52.920 --> 0:44:55.359 that yack ability with this game. This is a game 0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:58.680 a gardage. You need it. You need to be able 0:44:58.719 --> 0:45:01.160 to push through. You can I afford to get behind 0:45:01.160 --> 0:45:03.640 the sticks at any point in this game. Shoot yourself 0:45:03.640 --> 0:45:06.840 in the foot, no self inflicted wounds. And Jake Ferguson 0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:08.440 is going to make sure you're always pushing for that 0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:11.240 extra yardage, even if it's on a third down situation, 0:45:11.600 --> 0:45:15.319 what have you. I'm expecting maybe he doesn't get the 0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:19.000 most receptions, but he's going to give you very very 0:45:19.040 --> 0:45:20.040 good receptions when. 0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:21.960 He can move the sticks, move the sticks. 0:45:22.040 --> 0:45:24.880 I just want to change on change, change. 0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:29.200 Jonathan Hankins, Yes, the difference maker. 0:45:29.320 --> 0:45:31.719 Like talk to him in the locker room today and 0:45:31.719 --> 0:45:33.880 he is just so happy to be here to be 0:45:34.000 --> 0:45:36.160 a part because I didn't even think about, like they 0:45:36.200 --> 0:45:38.680 were so stout against the run last year with the 0:45:38.680 --> 0:45:40.759 forty nine ers. They shut down that stuff, and he 0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:43.120 was coming off of an injury, he was coming off 0:45:43.160 --> 0:45:45.839 of a pex strain, so him not even being one 0:45:45.920 --> 0:45:48.640 hundred percent and him clogging up that lane and then 0:45:48.680 --> 0:45:51.120 making such a difference for those linebackers to play free 0:45:51.120 --> 0:45:54.279 and those safeties. And Jonathan Hankins is a guy that 0:45:54.520 --> 0:45:56.799 I think is gonna make a difference to Tater tots y'all. 0:45:56.840 --> 0:46:01.200 I mean, dang, this is the last quarter. No more 0:46:01.280 --> 0:46:03.279 puns or taters or barnacles. 0:46:03.360 --> 0:46:03.640 Y'all. 0:46:03.640 --> 0:46:06.120 Gotta let us curse in Peace's word. 0:46:07.200 --> 0:46:09.200 Well, I would rather say that, not actually curs. I 0:46:09.239 --> 0:46:15.600 don't want to go away out what the tots? Yeah, okay, 0:46:15.800 --> 0:46:17.279 you know we're gonna have to come up with something 0:46:17.320 --> 0:46:21.040 for you for this pun jar. So anybody has any suggestion, 0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:23.160 no part, you'll leave it in the comments. 0:46:23.560 --> 0:46:25.520 Hey we got enough. We can get like two orders 0:46:25.520 --> 0:46:26.040 of Tater. 0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:26.680 Talks so far. 0:46:27.520 --> 0:46:29.600 Well, thank you Nicole for joining us.
