Speaker 3: Let's get right to it. There was a lot that
Speaker 3: we didn't get to talk about going to get into it.
Speaker 3: Let's start with your practice report first, because we just
Speaker 3: got that a little bit earlier. We're gonna jump right
Speaker 3: into it. We have our jar ready if we need
Speaker 3: it for any puns or anything. But here we go,
Speaker 3: all right. Dmouan Clark. He was limited today again with
Speaker 3: a shoulder injury. He was also limited on Wednesday, ric
Speaker 3: o'dowdell has a hip contusion. He did not participant on Wednesday, however,
Speaker 3: he was a full participant today. Jimmy I Dooga, dealing
Speaker 3: with a knee injury, participated fully in Wednesday and Thursday's practice.
Speaker 3: Peyton Hendershot did not participate with an ankle injury both
Speaker 3: yesterday and today. Malli Cooker a shoulder injury limited both
Speaker 3: Wednesday and Thursday. Ceedie Lamb he had a rest day.
Speaker 3: It also says me there as well. He didn't participate yesterday,
Speaker 3: however he was a full participant today. Zach Martin he
Speaker 3: rested as well, and then it also says Thigh He
Speaker 3: did not participate in Wednesday, however, full participant again on Thursday,
Speaker 3: and then Michael Parsons knee limited bold Wednesday, Thursday. Last,
Speaker 3: but certainly not least, save this one for everybody. Terren
Speaker 3: Smith did not participate on Wednesday, however, he was a
Speaker 3: full go on Thursday, leaving a lot of people hopeful. Ladies,
Speaker 3: we talked to some of the guys in the locker
Speaker 3: room ahead of Sunday's game. Sunday Night Football, your Dallas
Speaker 3: Cowboys will take on at the San Francisco forty nine ers. Christy,
Speaker 3: let's start with you. Let's get to this O line,
Speaker 3: because I think that's the biggest conversation right now is
Speaker 3: what this could look like. You're talking about an offensive
Speaker 3: line that has not played together for the entirety of
Speaker 3: this season at any point yet you can even go
Speaker 3: back to last season. It's been a while. What have
Speaker 3: you gotten from the O line, the guys you got
Speaker 3: to talk to in the locker.
Speaker 4: Room, what you heard, it's good news. And the fact
Speaker 4: that Tyrone's out there as a full participant. And then
Speaker 4: Zach you mentioned the thigh. That's the contusion. Of course,
Speaker 4: that ankle probably still doesn't feel very good, but the
Speaker 4: fact that he was full today that's awesome, and even
Speaker 4: too Adoga being able to participate fully. Tuma has actually
Speaker 4: had the second most snaps among the offensive linemen this year.
Speaker 4: Terrence Steele is the only one that has taken one
Speaker 4: hundred percent of snaps among the regular starters. And Tyler
Speaker 4: Smith spoke today and was just talking about how nice
Speaker 4: it is to have all of the five regulars we
Speaker 4: expect to be back. So it can't the timing can't
Speaker 4: be any better going against this San Francisco front seven,
Speaker 4: and particularly when you're going against Nick Bosa.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and them getting reps kind of I wouldn't say
Speaker 5: early in the week, but just things kind of being
Speaker 5: the game plan being installed and all of them being
Speaker 5: a part of it, I think is important for this
Speaker 5: week going up against a defensive line that does so
Speaker 5: much and moves guys on these fronts. Yeah, they got
Speaker 5: a lot of power on this offensive line, on this
Speaker 5: defensive line, so it'd be good for those I'm glad
Speaker 5: those guys got time to practice because communication is going
Speaker 5: to be so important given what the forty Niners like to.
Speaker 4: Do on defen Yeah, yesterday wasn't really a full practice. Normally,
Speaker 4: Wednesday and Thursday are your hard practices, you know, Wednesday's game,
Speaker 4: you know, install one first day of install, than a
Speaker 4: heavy another day on Thursday. And honestly, yesterday their Wednesday
Speaker 4: practice wasn't you know, wasn't a full one there, and
Speaker 4: so it was more like a heavy walkthrough. And so
Speaker 4: the fact that today that they were doing more. The
Speaker 4: other thing is coach is going to be using these
Speaker 4: Wednesdays moving forward. He's already started it. The first month
Speaker 4: of the season is going to go through the end
Speaker 4: of the regular season where he is giving these veteran days,
Speaker 4: so even guys like DeMarcus Lawrence who aren't on the
Speaker 4: injury report, given those guys easy days on Wednesday just
Speaker 4: to keep them fresh. And then just wanted to follow up, Jess,
Speaker 4: you mentioned CD Lamb with the knee. CD did talk
Speaker 4: to the media today and he says he's good to go,
Speaker 4: and you know, I'll be ready for Sunday.
Speaker 3: And he said it with a big smile. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: as well. Good to mention there. Something I really look
Speaker 3: forward to is if this offensive line and you're starting
Speaker 3: five can be out there, is you start to see
Speaker 3: that continuity that you haven't gotten to see within this
Speaker 3: offensive line yet. Yes, you can have your rotation guys,
Speaker 3: you can have your swing guys, but when you get
Speaker 3: that solid line that can just continue to work together,
Speaker 3: grow that chemistry, grow that cadence, grow all of the
Speaker 3: rapport with each other to know those nonverbal cues, it's
Speaker 3: just going to make this offense stronger. And so really
Speaker 3: excited to see if that comes to fruition. Aisha, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna turn to you our local film expert here on
Speaker 3: Girls Talk, Boys Talk. You were talking about a very
Speaker 3: tough defensive line for this Dallas Cowboys offensive line to
Speaker 3: take on, no matter who's starting, we don't know yet.
Speaker 3: We really won't know probably until Saturday, if not right
Speaker 3: before the game. As well, when you look at this
Speaker 3: offensive line, or excuse me, this defensive line for the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, obviously you have a Nick Bosa, you
Speaker 3: have a lot of weapons. How can the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 3: offensive line neutralize what this line can do to be
Speaker 3: able to protect Dak Prescott and continue to allow not
Speaker 3: just the run game to establish, but eventually open at
Speaker 3: the passing game as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I went back and watched a couple of games,
Speaker 5: the Cardinals, the Rams, seeing what success they had against
Speaker 5: this forty nine ers defense. And it's really crazy because
Speaker 5: when you look at the forty nine ers, you assume
Speaker 5: that that defensive line is just dominant, dominant, dominant. And
Speaker 5: don't get me wrong, they have fantastic players. However, they've
Speaker 5: been struggling getting home. They're getting a lot of pressures.
Speaker 5: You're seeing a lot of pressures from Bosa, but it's
Speaker 5: not consistently that they're just getting home and having a
Speaker 5: lot of sacks.
Speaker 6: And when you look at what the Rams did.
Speaker 5: I was very surprised by how many times Matthew Stafford
Speaker 5: had clean pockets for a good amount of time. And
Speaker 5: so with the Cowboys, I think a lot of teams
Speaker 5: honor you know, just how aggressive you know that defensive
Speaker 5: line can be. Hey man, there's gonna be there should
Speaker 5: be passing opportunities there.
Speaker 6: And they also are on a team that.
Speaker 5: Blitz is a whole bunch because they have faith that
Speaker 5: they can get home with for so this offensive line,
Speaker 5: to me, the Cowboys offensive line just has to be
Speaker 5: stout and maybe not be so reactive to the fact that, hey,
Speaker 5: this defense plays up field, they're fast, they're aggressive, take
Speaker 5: advantage of that, screens things like that, getting these getting
Speaker 5: these guys out.
Speaker 6: In space, making them run. Their linebackers are fantastic. However,
Speaker 6: if you run at these guys.
Speaker 5: And if you get them in open space, we saw
Speaker 5: some success last year from Tony Pollard before he got
Speaker 5: injured as well, So I would go, I think there
Speaker 5: is opportunity there for this offense. But going against this
Speaker 5: defensive line, you just got to be I think you
Speaker 5: got to do some of the.
Speaker 6: Horizontal stuff and make them run, make them run.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you one hundred percent, and I
Speaker 4: think that they're gonna use the aggression against them, absolutely,
Speaker 4: and by that I mean the defensive backs too. Say that, yeah,
Speaker 4: and you're right about Stafford having some clean pockets. And
Speaker 4: then you look at last weekend and yeah, they took
Speaker 4: care of the Cardinals, but the Cardinals had a ninety
Speaker 4: nine yard drive in that game on offense, and then
Speaker 4: the second half they were moving the ball, So it's possible.
Speaker 4: But I was very interested by something coach McCarthy said
Speaker 4: today and then asked him about it in his walk off,
Speaker 4: and we had talked about vision defense, so we know
Speaker 4: that that that that's something that to expect, as they
Speaker 4: did back in week two. But he says the vision
Speaker 4: vision and the time clock is tied to the pass rush.
Speaker 4: So what that means is the defensive backs, as I
Speaker 4: used to says it, you know, they're expecting that the
Speaker 4: line is going to get to the quarterback and so
Speaker 4: they kind of have that timing in their head of Okay,
Speaker 4: I know Bosa, I know Armstead, I know Feral that
Speaker 4: I'm expecting these guys, if not to make the sack,
Speaker 4: to at least affect the passer so maybe jump a route,
Speaker 4: be aggressive. You're going to see some press coverage here,
Speaker 4: and so whether if you can if you can get
Speaker 4: blocking them. And those guys are being aggressive against your
Speaker 4: wide receivers in the pass routes, double moves, baby double moves,
Speaker 4: use the aggression against them. So Ceedee Lamb was asked
Speaker 4: about it today and he says, that's the thing is
Speaker 4: you know that they're going to be physical, and you
Speaker 4: know that with their pass rush, you might get three
Speaker 4: and a half seconds to do your route, but you
Speaker 4: ain't getting four right because because they're they're going to
Speaker 4: be coming. And so these wide receivers are very cognizant
Speaker 4: of that. They know it's going to be physical. They
Speaker 4: know that they can't be pushed off their route. But
Speaker 4: if they can just get that three and a half
Speaker 4: seconds and just get that just enough of an opening
Speaker 4: for Dak to get the ball in there, uh, you know,
Speaker 4: I think there are some chances for some place. And
Speaker 4: the other thing is when defense backs are very aggressive
Speaker 4: and they're going for the ball, if they don't get it,
Speaker 4: you've got a chance for yards after catch. If you
Speaker 4: can slip past that guy, then you know it's gonna
Speaker 4: be tough sledding against the forty nine ers, but it's
Speaker 4: also opportunities for some possible big plays.
Speaker 3: Yes, mam, there you go. I love that. Let's go
Speaker 3: ahead and take our first break. When't we come back,
Speaker 3: We're gonna continue to talk a little bit, uh Cowboys defense,
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers defense, Cowboys offense forty nine Ers offense.

Speaker 3: I mean, I guess that's a good excuse. But if
Speaker 3: you're here and you're able to go, those watch parties
Speaker 3: are a good time. It's gonna be a great game regardless.
Speaker 4: Can I say what I'm I'm just happy, lit. I
Speaker 4: am anxious to see if we can get through the
Speaker 4: pregame warm ups without any incidents because if you guys
Speaker 4: remember last year, I really had not seen this before
Speaker 4: in well back then it would have been twenty four
Speaker 4: years on the sideline. But the specialists are generally out
Speaker 4: there by themselves. So you'll have the kicker, the holder,
Speaker 4: and the deep snapper for both of the teams out there,
Speaker 4: and they take turns, you know, want to work on
Speaker 4: one side of the field, want to work on the other,
Speaker 4: and then they kind of cross paths, you know, switching
Speaker 4: other sides and stuff, and then some other players will
Speaker 4: come out there. But there's a good portion of pregame
Speaker 4: where it's just the specialists. So last year of this
Speaker 4: playoff game divisional round and there's Maher and Brian Anger
Speaker 4: and it can't even get through the warm ups, Trent Williams,
Speaker 4: who's the All Pro left tackle. They literally the forty
Speaker 4: nine ers are walking through the cowboy Brett Maher and
Speaker 4: as they're trying to set the ball and not like
Speaker 4: walking between you know, in the direct line of the snap,
Speaker 4: but alongside getting in the eye line of the players.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like in golf, you don't you don't
Speaker 4: get in the eye line of someone when they're putting
Speaker 4: or anything like that, and it's just like a man.
Speaker 4: And so there was tension before the game even kicked off.
Speaker 4: There was tension when it's just the specialists who are
Speaker 4: on the sideline out on the field and the rest
Speaker 4: of the team hadn't even come out there, and so
Speaker 4: actually the officiating crews weren't even out there yet. So
Speaker 4: it's like, I'm really anxious to see that there was
Speaker 4: a I know that Brian Anger and those guys that
Speaker 4: they were not happy with the way things went we
Speaker 4: had last season were anger and oh my gosh, trends,
Speaker 4: there's the pun Trent.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how try and get down, Yes, how you
Speaker 5: get that way that's who he is, so we'll see
Speaker 5: how they respond.
Speaker 6: That's something I definitely thought about as well.
Speaker 3: Thank thank you, thank you.
Speaker 6: I was waiting for my God.
Speaker 3: All right, let's continue on. No, Chris, you bring up
Speaker 3: a really good point, and a big topic of conversation
Speaker 3: with the guys in the locker room is how do
Speaker 3: you state you been killed when this is such an
Speaker 3: emotionally fueled game. Whether it is just a week five
Speaker 3: game to you, you see it that way or not,
Speaker 3: that can't erase the fact that there is history there,
Speaker 3: and not just the history with everything going in years past,
Speaker 3: but specifically these last two years with these teams and
Speaker 3: with very similar players, right, like you were just talking
Speaker 3: about with Trent Williams, and how much the last two
Speaker 3: years you have heard the guys in locker room talk
Speaker 3: about this bad taste they have in their mouth from
Speaker 3: losing to the same team that kind of has their
Speaker 3: number and that they know it and they're just so
Speaker 3: ready to slay that dragon and be done with that
Speaker 3: rhetoric and be done with the topic of conversation of
Speaker 3: you can't beat the forty nine ers. So the big
Speaker 3: question has been, well, how do you stay so even
Speaker 3: killed does this feel more like a playoff game? Really
Speaker 3: when you look at it, and I think it really
Speaker 3: depends on who you talk to. A lot of the
Speaker 3: guys will go in there. I liked what Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 3: said today. He said, if you talk about history too much,
Speaker 3: history is going to repeat itself. So we just kind
Speaker 3: of have to take it as what it is a
Speaker 3: Week five matchup. Jonathan Hankins earlier in the week had
Speaker 3: a conference call and he said, Yeah, this very much
Speaker 3: feels like a playoff game. So again, it just kind
Speaker 3: of depends on who you're talking to, But overall are stual.
Speaker 3: I'm going to go to you first for this. You
Speaker 3: talk to a lot of the guys today, Where are
Speaker 3: their minds that going into this game? And what kind
Speaker 3: of fuel did you get out of the locker room
Speaker 3: after picking their brains a little bit? What are you
Speaker 3: seeing from them?
Speaker 5: Just very to me, I felt a team that's very
Speaker 5: confident in their game plan, confident and their coaching, confident
Speaker 5: in their film study, which has been extensive. I think
Speaker 5: I even heard I don't know, I don't know, Phils
Speaker 5: Micha McCarthy, one of them just referenced just how much
Speaker 5: they did some extra hours of film study because this
Speaker 5: specifically also did Like this offense, the forty nine ers offense,
Speaker 5: it's complex, there's a lot going on, you know. So
Speaker 5: I feel like from what I got from talking to
Speaker 5: a lot of the players is that they're they are.
Speaker 5: It's a quiet confidence, it's not a boastful confidence, and
Speaker 5: say very much. So they've seen the've you you mentioned
Speaker 5: the point that a lot of the forty nine Ers
Speaker 5: hasn't changed. A lot of the cowboys on the offensive
Speaker 5: side has changed, but there just hasn't been a whole
Speaker 5: bunch of changes in certain things.
Speaker 6: So it's just like you got to go do it.
Speaker 4: You just got to go do it, you.
Speaker 6: Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So that's that's the energy I've gotten from a lot
Speaker 5: of the guys. Quiet confidence, confident in their game plan
Speaker 5: and what they've done to get to this point, to
Speaker 5: get over that hump, this hump that you know we've
Speaker 5: been mentioning, it's quite confidence.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: How it was somebody in the locker room that I
Speaker 3: knew people were going to swarm a little bit as
Speaker 3: soon as he came in. That was Trey Lance, who, obviously,
Speaker 3: as you know, has a history with the San Francisco
Speaker 3: forty nine ers. So very similar to last week when
Speaker 3: Will Greer was in the chats for the Patriots side
Speaker 3: of things and we were having that conversation of how
Speaker 3: he could potentially help, you know, the Patriots kind of
Speaker 3: infiltrate the Cowboys systems and what he knows. Similar conversation
Speaker 3: with Tree Lance. Did you get to catch up with
Speaker 3: Trade today and hear kind of what he said about
Speaker 3: returning back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Trey kind of he downplayed it a bit. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: but what he can provide is inside on why they're
Speaker 4: doing certain things and what they're looking for. So, you know,
Speaker 4: does he know the game plan and what to expect. No,
Speaker 4: but he can shed insight on a few things and
Speaker 4: it's helpful. But that's really as much for the coaches
Speaker 4: for anybody else. But it's mainly Cooper Rush that is
Speaker 4: pretending to be Brock Perdy this week, right, Because your
Speaker 4: backup quarterback runs the scout team, and so the first
Speaker 4: team defense during the week doesn't practice against the Cowboys
Speaker 4: first team offense. They practice against the practice squad guys
Speaker 4: and the backups on the fifty three man roster who
Speaker 4: are running plays off of cards. It's called running off cards,
Speaker 4: and they are running forty nine ers plays, at least
Speaker 4: plays that the cow Boys coaches think that the forty
Speaker 4: nine ers are going to run. So Cooper Rush would
Speaker 4: do most of this week pretending to be brought party,
Speaker 4: and then Trey Lance would presumably get a few. That's
Speaker 4: how it generally works on a regular week. But let's
Speaker 4: hope that we don't see Trey Lance in this game
Speaker 4: because he's going to be the emergency third quarterback again
Speaker 4: as he is through the first four weeks. So the
Speaker 4: only way that you would see Trey Lance in this
Speaker 4: game is if both Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush were
Speaker 4: both injured and not able to return to action.
Speaker 3: You know what I thought was interesting, I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: to you for this one too, is you heard DeMarcus
Speaker 3: Lawrence talking about getting to spend some time with Trey
Speaker 3: Lance as he went into some of the defensive meetings
Speaker 3: to kind of give his insight in his thoughts. I
Speaker 3: thought that was really cool. Yeah, there as well, aisha.
Speaker 3: When it comes to somebody like DeMarcus Lawrence, who is
Speaker 3: just such an impactful player for being a veteran that
Speaker 3: he is, he sets the tone, he's quick with it.
Speaker 3: How can both him and Michael Parsons really really shine
Speaker 3: in this game? What do they have to do to
Speaker 3: be able to get that pass rush or earn it
Speaker 3: like they like to say, earn that pass rush. What
Speaker 3: are some of the key things you noticed as far
Speaker 3: as the forty nine ers offense goes. How can this
Speaker 3: d line on the opposite side of things we're talking
Speaker 3: about the Cowboys D line earn that pass rush and
Speaker 3: go from there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Tank mentioned, you know, staying in the
Speaker 5: backfield with them, you know, just living in the backfield
Speaker 5: and the way.
Speaker 6: That you do that, especially with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 5: They are a slide of hand offense, I would say,
Speaker 5: is that they are looking to get your eyes.
Speaker 6: Looking one way and go on the other way.
Speaker 5: One thing that also makes them unique is the fact
Speaker 5: that they run double motion rather so it's a secondary motion.
Speaker 6: So most offenses you'll see a guy kind of go in.
Speaker 5: Motion it's for the other team to get some information. No,
Speaker 5: these guys their motion in two sometimes three times on
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage. And so with the defense, when
Speaker 5: DeMarcus Lauren says we just have to play our keys,
Speaker 5: he's being very literal. It's it's very difficult to do
Speaker 5: to be disciplined in that way. But they have to
Speaker 5: just be disciplined and play their assignment because the forty
Speaker 5: nine ers are trying to get you to just slide
Speaker 5: a little bit to the left, a little bit to
Speaker 5: the right, one guy be out of position, and then
Speaker 5: they're getting yakyards. So when you're to answer your question
Speaker 5: with someone like a DeMarcus Lawrence, that's where he thrives.
Speaker 5: He is fantastic against the run. He's such a cerebral player,
Speaker 5: so intelligent.
Speaker 4: If he can lead with just.
Speaker 5: Playing his keys, getting making sure guys are in the
Speaker 5: right spot, there's gonna be plays there.
Speaker 6: But also too, the right.
Speaker 5: Tackle for the forty nine ers has had a little
Speaker 5: bit of trouble. I think it's I don't want to
Speaker 5: ruin his name, mckis mckivts. Yeah, I mean he's he's
Speaker 5: given up quite a few pressures for sacks. He's he's
Speaker 5: a gentleman that's still trying to figure out things as
Speaker 5: well there and so I expect for DeMarcus Lawrence to
Speaker 5: take advantage of some of those opportunities well as well.
Speaker 4: The defense sure tackling is the number one thing this
Speaker 4: weekend because they get so many yards after contact, so
Speaker 4: many yards after catch. And the other thing is and
Speaker 4: this is something that dan Quinn was talking about Monday,
Speaker 4: and we referenced it briefly on Monday afternoon, but I
Speaker 4: went through and transcribed because I think this is really
Speaker 4: important because he was talking about see Kyle Shanahan, he
Speaker 4: calls the plays for the forty nine ers and his dad,
Speaker 4: Mike Shanahan winning those Super Bowls with the Broncos back
Speaker 4: in the nineties, you know, and Mike Shanahan his run
Speaker 4: game and the way that they did things. That's not
Speaker 4: how Kyle does things anymore. It's a different kind of
Speaker 4: thing run and so instead a gap scheme, you know,
Speaker 4: that's the instead of I'm sorry, Mike ran zone schemes
Speaker 4: and Kyle runs more gap schemes. But here's the thing.
Speaker 4: What they do a great job of, according to dan Quinn,
Speaker 4: is making their play their pass plays look like their
Speaker 4: run play. So he says, if your pass plays don't
Speaker 4: look like your run game, they're really not that effective.
Speaker 4: But one of the things that Kyle and his father
Speaker 4: certainly had was their run looked like the keepers coming out.
Speaker 4: The power looked like the trap passes coming down the field.
Speaker 4: So when you can marry a run, look, you marry
Speaker 4: that to a pass protection look, and that's where they
Speaker 4: get the advantage. So what does that mean for the defense?
Speaker 4: It means if you're a linebacker, you can't hesitate in
Speaker 4: this game. If it's you're going to have to go downhill.
Speaker 4: Dan says, to do that run, but you're going to
Speaker 4: have to be decisive. You can't hesitate because they'll pull
Speaker 4: a bet and they'll pop it right over you.
Speaker 6: And that's what Michael said.
Speaker 5: That's what Micah when I touch base with him today
Speaker 5: when I was asking him just about some of the
Speaker 5: things that they do where they bring a full back
Speaker 5: or wide receiver whatever across the line and they trap,
Speaker 5: Like how do you stop that? And how do you
Speaker 5: do you try to get ahead of that or behind that?
Speaker 5: And he's like, no, you just got to go do it.
Speaker 5: You can't be hesitant with this offense. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 5: you can't be hesitant. They have to be decisive and
Speaker 5: just go make the play. Like whatever you see, trust that,
Speaker 5: Trust that, because what they want you to do is
Speaker 5: second guess yourself and ye out a position, so just
Speaker 5: a lot of When you talk about sound football, DeMarcus
Speaker 5: Lawrence is one of the absolute best, and so I
Speaker 5: really think if he leads in that right to play sound, the.
Speaker 6: Rest of the guys will follow. Sudan, It'll be a
Speaker 6: good game.
Speaker 3: You know what I think is so interesting too about
Speaker 3: this game. And Dan Quinn is actually the one that
Speaker 3: brought this up. He was asked about the versatility within
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers offense of guys that can play
Speaker 3: different positions. Right, so you have tight ends that can
Speaker 3: play receiver, you have just really everything. And he said, well,
Speaker 3: our guys can do that too on this side of
Speaker 3: the fall. So it's versatility versus versatility, which is a
Speaker 3: pretty rare matchup considering that's really hard to do. You know,
Speaker 3: you hear about Dan's defense being able to be so
Speaker 3: versatile when you have your linebackers that can be safeties
Speaker 3: and vice versa and you can kind of move guys
Speaker 3: around like that, that's a really hard task to do.
Speaker 3: It sounds easy when you're just talking about it day
Speaker 3: to day and you're like, oh, look Bell is now
Speaker 3: playing safety, and you just don't really think about how
Speaker 3: difficult that is for these guys to do. But when
Speaker 3: you're able to play those mind games. We talked about
Speaker 3: this on this podcast last year, and Dan Quinn is
Speaker 3: so good at keeping people guessing because you don't really
Speaker 3: know what's coming. Forty nine Ers offense is able to
Speaker 3: do that on the offensive side of the ball. So
Speaker 3: you really have a great matchup with the versatility that
Speaker 3: you're able to just play within this game. And I
Speaker 3: think that's so intriguing about this matchup specifically.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there are very few defenses that can match
Speaker 4: up as well as the Cowboys can match up against
Speaker 4: all of those weapons that the forty nine ers have.
Speaker 4: And one thing Micah said is that Christian McCaffrey, they're
Speaker 4: running back who's leading the league in rushing yards. That
Speaker 4: he's he's just as good as a wide receiver that
Speaker 4: sometimes you want to put a defensive back on him,
Speaker 4: you know, he's that good at running routes.
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey, by the way, this season alone already has
Speaker 3: forty two points. He is that red zone threat that
Speaker 3: you have to contain. You have to contain him, especially
Speaker 3: in the red zone. Look, man will find the end zone.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, find it?
Speaker 4: How good is he he broke Jerry brought Jerry Rice's
Speaker 4: team record for consecutive games with a touchdown. So that's
Speaker 4: that's not only how prolific he's been, but how consistent
Speaker 4: he's been dating back to last season. That was one
Speaker 4: of the that's going to go down as one of
Speaker 4: the great in season trades, I think in NFL history.
Speaker 4: Getting Christian McCaffrey the way that they did from Carolina
Speaker 4: last year, what a great move.
Speaker 5: Now that offense runs through him, I mean, it's it's
Speaker 5: hard to grant it like they're gonna make plays and
Speaker 5: things like that, but it's he is such an important
Speaker 5: part of what they do. And they depend on their
Speaker 5: running backs a lot and running their running backs do
Speaker 5: a lot.
Speaker 6: Of their work in the open field.
Speaker 5: And Kyle used check a dying breed in this league
Speaker 5: being a real full back, but he can do so
Speaker 5: much as a tight end. They use him so much
Speaker 5: in blocking and blocking schemes. He's almost an extra lineman,
Speaker 5: you know. So I'm also just looking at, you know,
Speaker 5: with the forty nine ers offense, they really want to
Speaker 5: cost traffic. They do a lot of crossers and and where.
Speaker 6: They're trying to get your guys.
Speaker 5: They're trying to do like involuntary rub routes and things
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 4: They're trying to Oh, they're not involuntary.
Speaker 3: They're not trying to be fair.
Speaker 6: Look, look, I'm trying to be fair.
Speaker 4: What's the difference between a pick and a rub route.
Speaker 6: It's just the way you say, Yeah, if.
Speaker 4: You're on offense, it's a rub route because that's legal.
Speaker 4: If you're on defense, you were picked and it should
Speaker 4: have been a flag. That's the difference between a pick
Speaker 4: and a rub.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And so they run a lot of that type of stuff.
Speaker 5: And so you know, one of the Cowboys are heavy
Speaker 5: man team and one of the heaviest like running man
Speaker 5: teams in NFL. I'm really wondering if they're gonna maybe
Speaker 5: run a little bit more zone, you know, to be
Speaker 5: able to maybe do some vision defense, maybe make brock
Speaker 5: Purty have to fit balls in small places, because when
Speaker 5: you play man against this team, you really play into
Speaker 5: their hands in the way that they like to clog
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage and cluster guys together. So for
Speaker 5: this defense to be successful, I really think that that
Speaker 5: might be something we see more than what we've seen
Speaker 5: this year is them running more zone concepts.
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see what you think of Brock party
Speaker 4: What do you think.
Speaker 5: I think the guy has Uh, he's played incredibly efficient.
Speaker 6: They're running an offense for him.
Speaker 5: That for I'm not gonna knock a young player for
Speaker 5: having help and figuring things out and sorting through things.
Speaker 5: He's not afraid to take some chances, you know, throwing
Speaker 5: the ball downfield. It's just they've they've made it to
Speaker 5: where he does not have to do a whole bunch
Speaker 5: of decision making and he's definitely just getting.
Speaker 6: The ball in hands of his playmakers.
Speaker 5: I think his accuracy is improved a lot too from
Speaker 5: last year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I can steal something from Mark Sanchez, who
Speaker 4: spent a year here with the Cowboys as the former
Speaker 4: Jets for you know, first round pick quarterback in the
Speaker 4: league for many years, And he was working the game
Speaker 4: for CBS last week, and he had the best analogy
Speaker 4: for Brock Perdy. And that's something that we've kind of
Speaker 4: talked about before. But it's being the proverbial point guard
Speaker 4: and that he just he's got so many weapons and
Speaker 4: gets the ball out so quickly, and that West Coast
Speaker 4: it's not the exact same West Coast that Mike McCarthy runs.
Speaker 4: But it's what have we been talking about this whole
Speaker 4: offseason and going into this season. Get the ball out
Speaker 4: quickly and let the guys make plays. Get it to
Speaker 4: them in space. That's what they've been doing so beautifully
Speaker 4: with Purdy in San Francisco. But ash do y'all's point,
Speaker 4: he'd get it downfield too, and Iyuk is something and
Speaker 4: Deebo Samuel, he hasn't really been healthy. We haven't seen
Speaker 4: like the real debo this year. But oh my gosh,
Speaker 4: let's hope that he stays undeboi ish at least for
Speaker 4: another weekend undevo.
Speaker 3: Deebo was on the practice report yesterday for the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers. I haven't gotten today's just yet, but Deebo
Speaker 3: was on the practice report and I'm trying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's battling shoulders.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he says right here. On Wednesday, he was limited
Speaker 3: with ribs and knee ribs.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's a tough one. A wide receiver.
Speaker 5: He got dropped a couple of games. Yeah, and he's
Speaker 5: been he's been, has been the same. Now he's been
Speaker 5: struggling with that. But yeah, it's you mentioned Auk and
Speaker 5: those guys.
Speaker 4: Oh, he's a freak.
Speaker 5: Don Bland is gonna They're gonna think that matchup is
Speaker 5: gonna be cool because they played against each other in college.
Speaker 4: You think they're gonna travel brand Deron Bland Maybe rather.
Speaker 5: Him, Okay, I would rather have to deal with him
Speaker 5: because Brandon, I you, out of his out of his releases.
Speaker 6: His route running has just improved so much.
Speaker 5: And when they do, I mean, they're not a lot
Speaker 5: of shots down field, but when they do their effective
Speaker 5: because people are again they're biting on what's going on
Speaker 5: at the line of scrimmage and all the decoration stuff
Speaker 5: I call it decoration.
Speaker 4: Yeah, decorations, window dresses, sprinkles.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: Brandon ayaka three hundred and twenty yards so far this season.
Speaker 3: He is seventeen of twenty targets. He averages about eighteen
Speaker 3: point eight yards per carry.
Speaker 6: Minds, you play three.
Speaker 3: Games this season, not four, so imagine if that was
Speaker 3: four games. He has two touchdowns. His longest reception so
Speaker 3: far has been forty two yards.
Speaker 5: One thing about party though, One thing that Mike McCarthy
Speaker 5: I heard him mention. You know, when we talk about
Speaker 5: the turnover battle is that the statistics show that there's
Speaker 5: more turnovers coming from from fumbles and.
Speaker 6: From quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: And one thing about party, he's put the ball on
Speaker 5: the ground. He will put the ball on the ground,
Speaker 5: not just this year. They haven't been recovered, but he's
Speaker 5: done it. He's done it four times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's something.
Speaker 5: That's why, that's why I felt like DeMarcus Moore said,
Speaker 5: you gotta go take it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you gotta go take it.
Speaker 4: So it's great.
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and take our next break. When we
Speaker 3: come back, we have a special guest to introduce to

Speaker 8: my god, you guys are so awesome. Looking forward to
Speaker 8: working with you guys.
Speaker 6: Every day.
Speaker 3: We're so excited. So tell us a little bit about
Speaker 3: your background. Where did you come from? All the good things,
Speaker 3: all things to call? What do we need to know?
Speaker 8: Gotcha? So I came from a sports anchor reporter, local
Speaker 8: TV background. So I started off in Alexandria, Louisiana when
Speaker 8: I graduated from college at Howard University, and then I
Speaker 8: went on to work at the Tennis Channel for like
Speaker 8: a couple of weeks, did some work with them, and
Speaker 8: then I landed a spot as a sports anchor reporter
Speaker 8: at Lexington, Kentucky, covering the University of Kentucky, women's basketball, football,
Speaker 8: men's basketball.
Speaker 1: So pretty much all those sports.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, now I'm here. Man. Kentucky has been on
Speaker 4: fire with their football. Everyone thinks of it as a
Speaker 4: basketball school man.
Speaker 8: The past two years they've Last year was a little
Speaker 8: downfall after the year before. But this year I feel
Speaker 8: like they got Georgia this week. I know Patrick with
Speaker 8: noc is gonna hear me and say this, but I
Speaker 8: think they're gonna get the dope against Georgia.
Speaker 3: They're playing really well.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, fine words, I know, I know. I'm confident
Speaker 8: in those boys. They've got a lot of talent on
Speaker 8: that team, so said, I don't want you want to
Speaker 8: miss it, but I'm here covering the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're originally, if you're from Louisiana or had
Speaker 4: time there, you have your allegiance has always been to
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. Or so I'm from Houston, Texas.
Speaker 8: We go coming out.
Speaker 6: I respect what the mico got going on over there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like they're on their way back from Galveston, Texas.
Speaker 4: So originally so you know respect.
Speaker 8: Yes, my mom though her side of the family, they're
Speaker 8: all Dallas Cowboys fans, so when they knew I got
Speaker 8: the job, they were screaming and hollering. But no, I've
Speaker 8: been a Houston Texas fan. Grew up technically as a
Speaker 8: Chicago Bears fan because my dad played.
Speaker 3: For the Bears.
Speaker 8: But after that, go yeah, then I kind of was like,
Speaker 8: let me switch over to the Texans, and now I'm
Speaker 8: gonna be a Cowboys fan.
Speaker 3: I can feel it. I feel it coming, feel it, Bruin. Well, Nicole,
Speaker 3: you just started, and so what has been the you
Speaker 3: were in the locker room today, what has been the thing?
Speaker 3: That's what a week to start? First of all, let's
Speaker 3: start there. What has been the thing that has stood
Speaker 3: out to you the most from this team, just what
Speaker 3: you've seen in the locker room and what you've gathered
Speaker 3: about them going into this Week five matchup.
Speaker 8: I'd say they're confidence. Every single time you talk to
Speaker 8: a player, just hear a player talk, you hear how
Speaker 8: they're so confident in this week.
Speaker 6: And I actually got a chance to ask Dak.
Speaker 8: I was like, listen, I know you're probably tired of
Speaker 8: hearing about, you know, the last two playoff losses to.
Speaker 6: The forty nine ers.
Speaker 8: But he was like pretty much, you know you're thinking
Speaker 8: about what he was saying, but no, I know he
Speaker 8: was probably like, you know, underlying, I know, they're just
Speaker 8: confident and ready to prove a lot of people wrong
Speaker 8: because they're going in as the underdogs for the first
Speaker 8: time this year. So yeah, I think that confidence is
Speaker 8: like the biggest thing that I've gathered from this team.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we called it quiet. It's like a quiet confidence.
Speaker 5: It's not boastful, but it's like I trust my game plan,
Speaker 5: I trust my I trust my teammates, and it's it's
Speaker 5: just that's the energy I felt this week too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's a different team from the way that
Speaker 4: that game ended or even part way through the game,
Speaker 4: because when Tony Pollard suffered the ankle injury and that
Speaker 4: that game that basically after he went out, that offense
Speaker 4: was kind of like a car that you get stuck
Speaker 4: in the mud and you're spinning the tires, but you're
Speaker 4: not getting anywhere. And so not only is Pollard back
Speaker 4: and the number one back and healthy going into this game,
Speaker 4: and by the way, Rico Daubdell being able to practice
Speaker 4: today inspite of the hip injury, that's important. But Brandon Cooks,
Speaker 4: you know, we haven't really seen him unleashed yet. And
Speaker 4: so I this is this offense for the Cowboys. As
Speaker 4: good as they were last year, they weren't. Yeah, that
Speaker 4: wasn't the full thing that we saw in that divisional
Speaker 4: round game. So I'm super excited for Sunday.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. And you know what I find so interesting we
Speaker 3: talked about this earlier this week, was Michaelcarthy hasn't had
Speaker 3: to show his full hand yet, and this is the
Speaker 3: perfect opportunity that if you want to show your full
Speaker 3: hand and what exactly your team can do. Everything he's
Speaker 3: been building up for this team to do that in
Speaker 3: this game. I mean, you're talking about Brandon Cooks. He
Speaker 3: hasn't gotten Cooken yet.
Speaker 4: My gosh, I felt that would.
Speaker 7: She knew it?
Speaker 4: There you go, oh gosh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm running
Speaker 4: out of coins.
Speaker 3: Yes, Christy, take up second mortgage.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: But my point is you haven't seen it yet because
Speaker 3: you haven't had to. And you have what a good
Speaker 3: problem to have is you have just this room full
Speaker 3: of playmakers that you didn't know this. You know, the
Speaker 3: last time these two teams met, you didn't know what
Speaker 3: your wide receiver group would look like. You didn't know
Speaker 3: what your tied end group was capable of. And they're
Speaker 3: coming together as well. On that side too, your running
Speaker 3: back group, you didn't know. You wouldn't have Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 3: who was banged up the last time that they played,
Speaker 3: and he really was trying to take that full load
Speaker 3: in this previous game. Tony Pollard goes out and your
Speaker 3: momentum shifts and then it just kind of went from there.
Speaker 3: But now you also have these guys that, as much
Speaker 3: as they say this is just another game, they want
Speaker 3: that monkey off their back. They don't want to talk
Speaker 3: about it anymore. And like you said, Nicole, I loved
Speaker 3: your question to dak today. All right, we have about
Speaker 3: five minutes left. So one thing I want to post
Speaker 3: to the table is there's still two kryptonites of the
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys team that seem to haunt them, if you will,
Speaker 3: when it comes to their losses or just not their
Speaker 3: best showing, one being the run defense and then the
Speaker 3: other one being the red zone woes and not capitalizing
Speaker 3: in the red zone. I shall start over here with you.
Speaker 3: What can the offense do to make sure that the
Speaker 3: red zone conversation is put to bed this week? What
Speaker 3: do they need to do in the red zone, specifically
Speaker 3: against his forty nine ers defense man.
Speaker 5: Listen, I'm trying to see some rpo. I'm trying to
Speaker 5: see Dad get some touches down there. I'm trying to
Speaker 5: see them, you know, with this offensive line being put together,
Speaker 5: we'll see how they run the ball down there. But
Speaker 5: something's got to give. I mean, the forty nine Ers
Speaker 5: are twenty third in red zone scoring rate, so it's
Speaker 5: people are scoring sixty six percent down there on them.
Speaker 5: So that's kind of where they get a little fluky.
Speaker 5: Cowboys are ranked thirtieth at thirty six thirty six point
Speaker 5: eighty four in the red zone as far as a
Speaker 5: scoring percentage, So that battle right there is like it's
Speaker 5: pivotal to what the turnout of this game is going
Speaker 5: to be. For me, it's it's really just seeing a
Speaker 5: little bit more of the r PO. If you look
Speaker 5: at some of the previous games, it looks like there's
Speaker 5: been opportunities there for Dak. I want them to take them.
Speaker 5: Because the forty nine ers are an aggressive defense. They
Speaker 5: get upfield, the middle of that the middle of that
Speaker 5: defense sometimes is open just because those guys are so aggressive,
Speaker 5: So RPO go some of that in there.
Speaker 6: For me, I want to see some of that from
Speaker 6: my quarterback.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just want to see Tony Pollard play a
Speaker 4: full game against them because I'm really excited about that.
Speaker 4: And when you talk about them all tight ends and
Speaker 4: then them really stepping up and targeting them, that that's
Speaker 4: really going to help in your red zone, not just
Speaker 4: for this game, but through the season.
Speaker 8: I want to see those wide receivers actually get a
Speaker 8: huge game. I know Ceedee Lamb that first touchdown targeted
Speaker 8: to a wide receiver last week, So I really want
Speaker 8: to see these wide receivers and Brandon Cooks he has
Speaker 8: not I'm not going to say it he's out had
Speaker 8: a gem. No, I'm not going to say. I'm not
Speaker 8: going to say we haven't seen a lot out of him.
Speaker 8: But that's why they got him, you know, for games
Speaker 8: like these. So I really want to see these wide
Speaker 8: receivers have a big game.
Speaker 3: You know what I want to see And I'm bouncing
Speaker 3: off of Christy here with Tony Pollard. I want to
Speaker 3: see your other running back special packages that you have
Speaker 3: with the Duce Vaughn and a Hunter Lipkey in the
Speaker 3: red zone. I think a Hunters that unspoken hero are
Speaker 3: overly spoken if you get on Twitter and they're praising him,
Speaker 3: calling him governor President Lipke on Cowboys Twitter. But I
Speaker 3: want to see those special packages that you hear about
Speaker 3: that that they haven't we just haven't seen yet. I
Speaker 3: want to see a little bit of more Deuce Vaughn
Speaker 3: in there as well, But overall, I just want to
Speaker 3: see what the solution is. Who's your red zone guy?
Speaker 3: I want to see that starting to be established this
Speaker 3: week going for I don't think it needs to.
Speaker 4: You need to be one, yeah, multiple multiple BIS game
Speaker 4: for this game, and yeah, to see somebody because with
Speaker 4: the matchups it could be a different guy each week.
Speaker 4: And that's what's so wonderful is you have so many
Speaker 4: weapons versatility. But here's the thing, whatever it's going to be,
Speaker 4: who wins the takeaway battle? Why do we last year?
Speaker 4: What did I say every week going into a game Homeever?
Speaker 4: Why should turnover battle? Well, dang it with this one,
Speaker 4: they've only had one giveaway. The Cowboys have only had
Speaker 4: one giveaway, So you can there are so many weapons
Speaker 4: on each side of the ball both of these teams.
Speaker 4: You cannot give away your possessions and give them extra ones.
Speaker 3: Let's go around the table. Who do you expect to
Speaker 3: have a big game?
Speaker 6: Yeah, y'all already said it. But uh, Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 5: I mean there's a lot of opportunity in this secondary
Speaker 5: to take advantage shallow crossers, things of that nature. I
Speaker 5: think that he should be able to sit in some
Speaker 5: of those zones and do some things there.
Speaker 6: Savvy, really savvy. But this is again, this is an
Speaker 6: aggressive forward playing defense.
Speaker 5: Run past them, run past them, show that threat and
Speaker 5: go ahead, and you know.
Speaker 6: Just go ahead and do it, like I'm ready to
Speaker 6: just see it.
Speaker 5: So Brandon Cooks is really one of the guys that
Speaker 5: I think could open up this offense for the rest
Speaker 5: of the whole game if they even just go at
Speaker 5: them early in a deep pass.
Speaker 6: So let's do.
Speaker 8: It, Pickybacking off of that, I'm going with Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 8: though you haven't seen the best of him yet this season,
Speaker 8: just because he hasn't been targeted that much, so I
Speaker 8: want to see him actually be explosive. He's one of
Speaker 8: the fastest receivers out in the league, so I want
Speaker 8: to see him. I think he's gonna have a lot
Speaker 8: of success this week, especially by the way that he
Speaker 8: was so confident in the locker room earlier when we
Speaker 8: got a chance to.
Speaker 1: Talk to him.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go defensive side of the ball, and I'm
Speaker 4: actually been vacillating between Layton vander esh because you talk
Speaker 4: about going downhill and stopping the run and yep, But
Speaker 4: then I'm thinking Donovan Wilson or jay Ron. Curse jay
Speaker 4: Ron with the way that you can do that. Okay,
Speaker 4: if you shocked, you can do Donovan, And I'll go
Speaker 4: with jay Ron. How about that, Jess, who you're going
Speaker 4: to go with.
Speaker 3: I'm going with Jake Ferguson. Fergie ferg you saw him
Speaker 3: getting warmed up last week, and that's because he's getting
Speaker 3: ready to go. He's getting ready for takeoff. You need
Speaker 3: that yack ability with this game. This is a game
Speaker 3: a gardage. You need it. You need to be able
Speaker 3: to push through. You can I afford to get behind
Speaker 3: the sticks at any point in this game. Shoot yourself
Speaker 3: in the foot, no self inflicted wounds. And Jake Ferguson
Speaker 3: is going to make sure you're always pushing for that
Speaker 3: extra yardage, even if it's on a third down situation,
Speaker 3: what have you. I'm expecting maybe he doesn't get the
Speaker 3: most receptions, but he's going to give you very very
Speaker 3: good receptions when.
Speaker 4: He can move the sticks, move the sticks.
Speaker 8: I just want to change on change, change.
Speaker 4: Jonathan Hankins, Yes, the difference maker.
Speaker 5: Like talk to him in the locker room today and
Speaker 5: he is just so happy to be here to be
Speaker 5: a part because I didn't even think about, like they
Speaker 5: were so stout against the run last year with the
Speaker 5: forty nine ers. They shut down that stuff, and he
Speaker 5: was coming off of an injury, he was coming off
Speaker 5: of a pex strain, so him not even being one
Speaker 5: hundred percent and him clogging up that lane and then
Speaker 5: making such a difference for those linebackers to play free
Speaker 5: and those safeties. And Jonathan Hankins is a guy that
Speaker 5: I think is gonna make a difference to Tater tots y'all.
Speaker 4: I mean, dang, this is the last quarter. No more
Speaker 4: puns or taters or barnacles.
Speaker 7: Y'all.
Speaker 6: Gotta let us curse in Peace's word.
Speaker 3: Well, I would rather say that, not actually curs. I
Speaker 3: don't want to go away out what the tots? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: you know we're gonna have to come up with something
Speaker 3: for you for this pun jar. So anybody has any suggestion,
Speaker 3: no part, you'll leave it in the comments.
Speaker 4: Hey we got enough. We can get like two orders
Speaker 4: of Tater.
