Speaker 1: The following.
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 3: Cowboys.
Speaker 2: This is Girls Talk Boys Talk, presented by Jigsaw of
Speaker 2: Dating Preferred Dating, partner of the Dallas Cowboys and broadcasting
Speaker 2: live from Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at the Star. Now
Speaker 2: your hosts Jess Navarrees, Aisha Morrison, Kelsey Charles, and Hailey Sutton.
Speaker 4: What an exciting victory Monday.
Speaker 3: We have today a twenty five to ten win for
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys yesterday over the Washington Commanders. Here on
Speaker 3: Girls Talkboys Talk, I'm Hailey Sutton, joined by Aisha Morrison,
Speaker 3: Christy Scales and Jess Navarrees.
Speaker 4: Have been practicing.
Speaker 5: You nailed it up.
Speaker 4: You did so good minute, ladies. How are we feeling
Speaker 4: after an exciting win yesterday?
Speaker 6: Loved it, pumped it. Wait, let's not tell us.
Speaker 5: I mean it's victory Monday. Anytime you have a victory Monday,
Speaker 5: it's always a great day. I feel like, especially coming
Speaker 5: to work in It's a little weight off of your shoulder,
Speaker 5: a little big you can wear your your Cowboys gear,
Speaker 5: your victory blue. You know, Victory Monday I think is
Speaker 5: just good overall. And I think something that makes it
Speaker 5: even sweeter is when you start to see improvements on
Speaker 5: things over the course of the season so far that
Speaker 5: we've been waiting to see, which we'll get into. But
Speaker 5: it's a good day. Anytime it's a victory Monday, it's
Speaker 5: a good day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so far, I've been told because my first week
Speaker 3: was two weeks ago when Cooper Rush got his first win,
Speaker 3: and the thing I was told all day long that
Speaker 3: day was I'm so glad you started today instead.
Speaker 4: Of last week.
Speaker 3: Last week was you know, the mood was rough exactly,
Speaker 3: So so far I haven't had.
Speaker 4: A rough Monday.
Speaker 5: So you're telling me you are Cooper Rush's good luck
Speaker 5: charm so far is yeah, we're seeing.
Speaker 3: So if you follow me on Twitter every single time
Speaker 3: the Cowboys have won so far, I've literally tweeted the
Speaker 3: Cowboys are She's a prophetess, so I'm not trying to brag.
Speaker 7: But the Michael Gallup touchdown as well, like a play before,
Speaker 7: I mean, she's powers.
Speaker 4: Apparently I willed that for him. He needed that, man.
Speaker 8: I thought that was one of the most satisfying. Yes, certainly,
Speaker 8: certainly a week at the Star is so much more
Speaker 8: fun after a win, but to see guys who have
Speaker 8: worked so hard, who've overcome a lot, and just good
Speaker 8: guys that you're rooting for because they're good people. And
Speaker 8: what's fun about being on the sideline is every season
Speaker 8: is a totally different dynamic and to see we only
Speaker 8: had one new assistant coach this year, but still young
Speaker 8: players becoming veteran players and leaders, and then guys coming
Speaker 8: back from injury. And the way that Michael Gallup was
Speaker 8: greeted on the sideline because everybody.
Speaker 4: Knew how hard he worked.
Speaker 8: And I think that the coolest thing was for all
Speaker 8: the high fives and hugs and slaps on the back,
Speaker 8: the longest hug and hey, they didn't say I love
Speaker 8: you man.
Speaker 4: It wasn't like air.
Speaker 8: But Britt Brown, who was the director of rehabilitation for
Speaker 8: the Cowboys, and so he's been a member of the
Speaker 8: athletic training staff for over twenty.
Speaker 6: Five years with the Cowboys, and so.
Speaker 8: He works most closely with the guys who were rehabbing.
Speaker 8: And of course Michael Gallup suffered the injury early January,
Speaker 8: so it's been almost ten months of him working back.
Speaker 8: And so when Michael gets to the sideline and that
Speaker 8: hug was a little bit longer and a little bit
Speaker 8: tighter between Britt and Michael.
Speaker 4: So that was really satisfying to see that yesterday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's amazing. See, we love having you here insight,
Speaker 5: and the things you see from your view on the
Speaker 5: sideline is just incredible.
Speaker 8: Well, and the other thing is, I think a couple
Speaker 8: of weeks ago, we were talking about how Noah Brown
Speaker 8: with his first career touchdown and Zeke had to run
Speaker 8: retrieve the ball for him, the touchdown ball, so that
Speaker 8: he could have it to take home. Zeke had to
Speaker 8: do the same thing locker. And then one other thing
Speaker 8: Deron Bland did. We should talk about some of these,
Speaker 8: you know, last second injuries. It's very unusual to have
Speaker 8: an injury happen in game warm ups, but Den Bland,
Speaker 8: who's a rookie fifth round pick, and he had to
Speaker 8: step in for Jordan Lewis, And of course Deron Bland
Speaker 8: had the interception in the fourth quarter that basically thwarted
Speaker 8: the last commander's hope for a rally. And so it
Speaker 8: was Donovan Wilson, veteran safety, and Donovan was the game
Speaker 8: day captain for the Cowboys defense yesterday and he ran
Speaker 8: out there and retrieved the ball. For that made the
Speaker 8: rookie mistake of not keeping his first career interception, and.
Speaker 7: Even Deron talked about it, he said that like once
Speaker 7: he he's like, once he caught the ball, he was like,
Speaker 7: it didn't even feel like I was there.
Speaker 6: He was like, I didn't.
Speaker 7: I didn't realize, like you know, that I made the interception.
Speaker 7: And so until like everyone starts swarming around him. And
Speaker 7: I think that's interesting because that just lets you know
Speaker 7: how emphas he is, like how focused he is. And
Speaker 7: I I sweeted earlier today, like he read that play
Speaker 7: all the way. Yeah, he drove on that ball. He
Speaker 7: knew where that was coming to. And it's just a
Speaker 7: testament to like this team. And we've talked about the
Speaker 7: depth on this team and just seeing a lot of
Speaker 7: these guys step in in the nick of time and.
Speaker 6: There not be a drop off. Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I pulled heron after the game or like as he
Speaker 3: was coming out of the locker room to talk to him,
Speaker 3: just one on one, and I asked him the same thing.
Speaker 3: I said, you know, Michael Gallup got his ball or
Speaker 3: I'm mixing that up, but I asked him about that
Speaker 3: interception and just being able to be in that moment,
Speaker 3: and he kind of said the same thing. He said,
Speaker 3: you know, like, yeah, I kind of just blacked out.
Speaker 3: But the thing that he kept talking about was the
Speaker 3: surrounding cast that he had that made him ready for
Speaker 3: that moment. You know, like, sure, he finds out minutes
Speaker 3: that he's going in to start for the first time
Speaker 3: as a rookie, and he didn't feel that way because
Speaker 3: he knew the preparation and the room that he's been
Speaker 3: in and what he's been surrounded by a practice and stuff.
Speaker 4: He felt ready and compelled to play. So he has
Speaker 4: such a strong camp.
Speaker 8: And I think that fans who don't follow the game
Speaker 8: super closely don't have a true appreciation for how difficult
Speaker 8: it is to play in the slot at cornerback, because
Speaker 8: most cornerback, you know, you're playing out while you think
Speaker 8: at Dion Sanders and the skinny, fast guys who are
Speaker 8: chasing the wide receivers down the field, and yeah, that's cornerback.
Speaker 8: But to do what Jordan Lewis does, to have that
Speaker 8: skill set to be able to play in the slot,
Speaker 8: which means there's a lot more traffic, means it's a
Speaker 8: lot more physical.
Speaker 4: You have to be a willing tackler.
Speaker 8: You know, because you're there, you know, squeezed amongst the
Speaker 8: linebackers oftentimes, and sometimes you get matched up with bigger
Speaker 8: guys who might be tied ends, you know. Instead of
Speaker 8: the little Cole Beasley's of the world, sometimes you get
Speaker 8: the bigger guys. So that is a unique skill set.
Speaker 8: And to have a rookie who's getting his first defensive
Speaker 8: snaps to be able to step in and play at
Speaker 8: that level, that's really a unique thing. And to not
Speaker 8: have this is the third week also without jy Ron curse. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and at safety, he does a lot down in the box,
Speaker 8: he plays in the slot. He's a bigger guy, and
Speaker 8: so he's a really it's a real physical uh.
Speaker 4: He adds a real physical dimension to it.
Speaker 8: I don't don't just mean willingness to tackle, but he
Speaker 8: can take on like the big guys, big tied ends
Speaker 8: and stuff. And so when you have an Israel Mukuamu, yeah,
Speaker 8: physically yeah, and so so it's it's really the depth.
Speaker 8: It's not just numbers, it's that physically they almost match
Speaker 8: up the same.
Speaker 4: So well, So kudos to the personnel department for putting
Speaker 4: it together.
Speaker 5: Like that, And I was gonna say that absolutely speaks
Speaker 5: to the culture in this locker room. And we've repeated
Speaker 5: this over and over. Really it's it's sounded like a
Speaker 5: broken record. But the next man up mentality and just
Speaker 5: how all of these guys are so locked in and
Speaker 5: they believe in their coaching. I think that is so important.
Speaker 5: I think the chemistry that they have with each other,
Speaker 5: it's a brotherhood and it shows because they all somehow,
Speaker 5: some way you bend, but you don't break. They always
Speaker 5: always find the way to make the play happen. And
Speaker 5: you have the difference makers, you have the Micaeh Parsons.
Speaker 5: Of course, how can we forget to mention Micah who
Speaker 5: It was interesting to go back and rewatch the game
Speaker 5: and really look at the plays that he's in, the
Speaker 5: plays that he's out, and how he allows for those
Speaker 5: plays to happen. When you really go back and dissect everything,
Speaker 5: Michaeh Parsons is just so special. And we keep talking
Speaker 5: about this, and how can we forget Trayvon digs ladies.
Speaker 5: He had such a great game. I think this was
Speaker 5: something that has been brewing for Trayvon. I think him
Speaker 5: going into week four and people saying, oh, he had
Speaker 5: eleven interceptions last season, what's going on? We haven't seen Trayvon.
Speaker 5: Where's Trayvon? And just all that talk. Right, he came
Speaker 5: out this game, and to be honest, when I went
Speaker 5: back and I watched and I was writing notes, I
Speaker 5: underline names that I feel like I'm starting to repeat
Speaker 5: a lot. He was such a difference maker in this
Speaker 5: game alone, and he was bullying on the field. I mean,
Speaker 5: he was making his presence known. Trayvon had himself a
Speaker 5: night and I just I was so happy to see
Speaker 5: him come back and really come back in full force.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: My favorite stat that we've been talking about, which I
Speaker 3: just caught onto, is that this is the third straight
Speaker 3: game where Trayvon Diggs has made a game ending play basically,
Speaker 3: and it just speaks to how much he's elevated his game.
Speaker 3: He's playing such better, more discipline, more physical football. You
Speaker 3: had the pass breakups. I think you had three pass
Speaker 3: breakups in yesterday's game. So just to go from being
Speaker 3: the guy who catches the interceptions to a corner who
Speaker 3: is going to make those game saving plays or a
Speaker 3: guy you can depend on to make, you know, an
Speaker 3: important tackle at an important part of the game. I
Speaker 3: think it's really kind of made him a little bit
Speaker 3: more dynamic.
Speaker 5: Of a football And I think that key drive on
Speaker 5: that fourth and fifteen in the fourth quarter, where the
Speaker 5: Commander's kind of had a pulse, it was a real
Speaker 5: make or break where he swatted that ball. I mean,
Speaker 5: that was the difference maker. And I think you go
Speaker 5: back and you look and he was reading that all
Speaker 5: the way through and just his awareness of where to
Speaker 5: put his body every single time, even when it comes
Speaker 5: to I'm barely gonna tap the ball, but I'm gonna
Speaker 5: tap it in a way that that receiver's not catching it.
Speaker 5: I mean, his his awareness to his body is just incredible.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's something I think.
Speaker 7: I mean, I think I said it like a couple
Speaker 7: of weeks ago, like he was in practice and he
Speaker 7: was barking at his teammates. He was barking at Noah.
Speaker 7: Noah's looking at him like come on, man, like we're practicing.
Speaker 6: But his competitive fire.
Speaker 7: Yeah, when he deleted Twitter, you started seeing him in
Speaker 7: practice and the guy just really seemed like he locked in.
Speaker 6: And I also think it's important that we remember this
Speaker 6: is his third year. Like, cornerback is a.
Speaker 7: Very difficult position to play, and I think that, you know,
Speaker 7: we're just seeing these guys develop in front of us,
Speaker 7: and the stickiness that he's playing with is different, Like
Speaker 7: you can tell that he's reading and also too, there was.
Speaker 6: A couple he baited, he baited, He baited.
Speaker 7: Him like quite a few times yesterday and I don't
Speaker 7: know it. It is dope to see the evolvement of
Speaker 7: his game. But I think this has a lot to
Speaker 7: do with Malie Cooker being back there man in that
Speaker 7: safety spot, like being rangy and giving Trayvon. I think
Speaker 7: the faith that hey, if I slip up here, you
Speaker 7: got me, you got me, I got you, And that's
Speaker 7: something that comes with, you know, building a secondary. If
Speaker 7: you listen to them, they're talking about playing together, even
Speaker 7: the defensive lines talking about rushing is one and you
Speaker 7: can just start to see the unity on this team
Speaker 7: and the camaraderie on this team, them being drafted together
Speaker 7: and sticking together. They spend time with each other off
Speaker 7: outside the field. You can see that on this defense
Speaker 7: and how they move and how they play together.
Speaker 8: It's interesting the dynamic within at and T Stadium because
Speaker 8: the last few home games of last year when Trayvon
Speaker 8: is chasing Everson Walls's interception record, And truly it was
Speaker 8: at the point where anytime a ball winning Trayvon's direction,
Speaker 8: it was fifty to fifty is the wide receiver gonna
Speaker 8: get it? Or is Trayvon gonna get it? But the
Speaker 8: energy at at and T Stadium, every time a pass
Speaker 8: was directed towards Trayvon it was palpable. I'm not trying
Speaker 8: to be dramatic, no, but I'm saying, I'm saying you
Speaker 8: can feel it. And only a couple of times have
Speaker 8: I experienced that on an NFL sideline. And we didn't
Speaker 8: get to play in Chicago often, but when we did,
Speaker 8: and Devin Hester, who was a finalist for the Hall
Speaker 8: of Fame last year, who was arguably one of the
Speaker 8: great punt returners return specialists in NFL history, but when
Speaker 8: he would drop back for a punt, everyone was on
Speaker 8: the edge of their seat. Usually a punt's coming, all right,
Speaker 8: there's going to be a commercial time out. Everyone's making
Speaker 8: a break for the restroom or to the concession stand.
Speaker 4: But no, not in Chicago.
Speaker 8: Everyone's on the edge of their seat because something extraordinary
Speaker 8: is about to happen. And it was that way for
Speaker 8: a couple of years at Texas Stadium when Dion Sanders
Speaker 8: played for the Cowboys and he would be back there
Speaker 8: for a punt.
Speaker 4: You could just it was tingly, you could feel it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And that's how it was.
Speaker 8: That's how it was towards the end of last season
Speaker 8: with Trayvon Diggs because everyone just wanted hit that record.
Speaker 4: Course he ended up tying.
Speaker 8: Ever Since Walls for the most interceptions in a single
Speaker 8: season in Cowboys history.
Speaker 4: But that's you know.
Speaker 8: And also to look up and just see all the
Speaker 8: number seven jerseys up there, yeah you know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8: You don't see too many cornerbacks with the jerseys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I like to We just had Mike McCarthy's
Speaker 3: press conference a few minutes before we started the show,
Speaker 3: and all this talk about defense. The last question he
Speaker 3: was asked was, you know, just how good is this defense?
Speaker 4: How good can they be?
Speaker 3: And Mike McCarthy one of my favorite things he said today,
Speaker 3: he said, the defense is like our team's thermostat They
Speaker 3: set the tone. And I love that that's just become
Speaker 3: this team's identity, you know, like you know, it doesn't
Speaker 3: matter if and when, you know, Dak comes back on
Speaker 3: the offense. Right now, the focus is on the defense
Speaker 3: and the defense. He said that they were the consistency
Speaker 3: on this team. The defense is what's keeping them, you know,
Speaker 3: in this season. And so I love the idea of
Speaker 3: a cornerback being palpable with that energy because that's how
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy described this defense.
Speaker 4: So a lot of good stuff on that side of
Speaker 4: the ball.
Speaker 3: It's quickly to talk injuries, because there was a couple
Speaker 3: that McCarthy gave us.
Speaker 4: An update to the first one.
Speaker 3: Obviously, I think everyone's worried about is Dak Prescott if
Speaker 3: he's going to be coming back for next week's game
Speaker 3: against the Rams. He did say that Dak has a
Speaker 3: doctor's appointment later today.
Speaker 4: Uh, so he will be borrow morning tomorrow mornings, day morning.
Speaker 4: I'm so glad you were there day morning.
Speaker 3: So he has a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. And then
Speaker 3: some good news as well with Noah Brown and Quinin Bohanna.
Speaker 3: Both of them all signs are pointing to being good.
Speaker 8: And see, the thing that the thing that's important about
Speaker 8: injuries is not just oh, Noah's going to miss a
Speaker 8: series or two on offense, it's within the game. Noah
Speaker 8: is the personal protector on punts. So there is a
Speaker 8: domino effect on these guys.
Speaker 4: It's like a it's a back you know, Noah Brown.
Speaker 8: Well then you have, you know, instead a just one
Speaker 8: personal protector, Noah. They end up taking Tony Pollard and
Speaker 8: Rico Dawbell and putting them side by side in front
Speaker 8: of Brian Anger. So there is a domino effect. But
Speaker 8: and then when when Quentin Bohanna went down with that
Speaker 8: shoulder entry, when they when they come to the sideline,
Speaker 8: actually they don't even come to the sideline.
Speaker 4: They just head straight up the tunnel up the end zone.
Speaker 8: And if you're if you're ever at at and T
Speaker 8: Stadium or you're watching a game and you see the
Speaker 8: trainers or the doctors take a player straight off and
Speaker 8: they're heading up towards the tunnel behind the end zone,
Speaker 8: that's not good news because when you go up that way,
Speaker 8: you know what's at the end of that tunnel, the.
Speaker 4: X ray room.
Speaker 8: So I was going to say, no, you don't, you know,
Speaker 8: you don't want them to head that direction. You want
Speaker 8: them to come over and get checked out, like for example,
Speaker 8: Zach Martin. It looks like, oh my gosh, you know,
Speaker 8: with it, and Zach is like the Black Knight and
Speaker 8: money Python. I mean he is just but a flesh
Speaker 8: wound him to come on the field. I mean, they're
Speaker 8: just gonna have to amputate something. But when he comes
Speaker 8: over and luckily they he just ended up having his
Speaker 8: right ankle retaped and he got back in the game.
Speaker 8: And I think he only missed two plays, maybe just one.
Speaker 8: But I know we're up against a break. But at
Speaker 8: one point I want to tell the story of We
Speaker 8: talked about Jordan Lewis uh missing the game and Deron
Speaker 8: Bland the rookie, having to step in, but Jordan Lewis
Speaker 8: missing the game because of an injury that happened in
Speaker 8: pregame warmups. I actually once saw an injury that happened
Speaker 8: between the national anthem and the coin flip.
Speaker 5: Oh oh oh, that's that's a good teaser.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely want to hear more about that.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna go ahead and take our first break

Speaker 8: It's worth the investment. Plus just with the discounts that
Speaker 8: you get from the pro shop and ordering things, you
Speaker 8: know it will pay for it.
Speaker 5: So had me a discount.
Speaker 11: I'm over here like Dallas Cowboys big you know I
Speaker 11: want to talk about because I guess over twenty four
Speaker 11: years on the sideline, I mean, there were several times
Speaker 11: where something has happened in pregame warm ups or may
Speaker 11: but usually it's a guy who was fighting an injury
Speaker 11: coming in or rehabbing and then something happens, maybe they
Speaker 11: retweak something.
Speaker 8: But Jordan Lewis the cornerback not being able to play
Speaker 8: yesterday against Washington, Deron Bland having to step in.
Speaker 4: That was pretty last minute.
Speaker 8: But it does not top what happened two years ago
Speaker 8: and getting ready to play the Pittsburgh steel and we've
Speaker 8: we've already had the national anthem. Now we're getting ready
Speaker 8: for the coin flip and Tyler beyotdish it was his
Speaker 8: rookie year, but he was our starting center, and he's
Speaker 8: like feeling the back of his leg, like his hamstring,
Speaker 8: and he comes over and he's talking to the medical
Speaker 8: staff and the I'm usually over on the side by
Speaker 8: the offensive lineman, so I see all this happening. And now
Speaker 8: all of a sudden, I can just see Tyler just
Speaker 8: getting frustrated, you know. And then Joe Looney grabs a
Speaker 8: football and is doing some last minute snaps, and so
Speaker 8: Tyler Beyotdish, the starting center, missed the game because he
Speaker 8: tweaks his hamstring between the national anthem and the kickoff.
Speaker 4: Wow, what was he doing? Just no, they just they
Speaker 4: just kind of do some light the jogging. That's a
Speaker 4: little too much.
Speaker 8: Nobody the offensive lineman don't really jog now. But what
Speaker 8: they'll do is they'll get in their stance, the centers
Speaker 8: will get down and you know, snap the ball. But
Speaker 8: usually the offensive lineman just kind of we're you know,
Speaker 8: stepping back and pro that kind of thing. But something happened,
Speaker 8: and so, I mean, that was absolutely the craziest. But
Speaker 8: one thing that Mike McCarthy mentioned earlier today in this
Speaker 8: press conference, the really unfortunate thing about these injuries that
Speaker 8: happen in pregame warm ups is the inactive list has
Speaker 8: to be turned in ninety minutes before kickoff. So Jordan
Speaker 8: getting injured after that, you know, within that ninety minute period,
Speaker 8: means that they weren't able to activate and to Sean Wright,
Speaker 8: so they could have gone, they could have had an
Speaker 8: extra cornerback available. Now to Shawn does not play in
Speaker 8: the slot the way that Den and that that's why
Speaker 8: you had That's why you have right inactive instead of
Speaker 8: Bland inactive because Bland has that skill set to play
Speaker 8: in the slot. So that's that's why even though Derawn's
Speaker 8: rookie and right to second year guy, why.
Speaker 4: You have him active?
Speaker 8: But yeah, you it again, and it also affects special
Speaker 8: teams and things like that.
Speaker 4: So again there's there's a domino.
Speaker 5: And I'm glad you brought up special teams because something
Speaker 5: that Ayisha and I mean, we were we were going
Speaker 5: before the show just talking about, you know, really all
Speaker 5: aspects and and I feel like and Ayisha can definitely
Speaker 5: give you more insight on this because she's the one
Speaker 5: that brought it to my attention when I was going
Speaker 5: back to watch the game. Is the Washington punter had
Speaker 5: our special teams kind of struggling a little bit. I mean,
Speaker 5: Cavante Turpin, who's been producing and who's been giving good
Speaker 5: field position for the Cowboys offense, he was he looked
Speaker 5: like he was struggling a little bit, But I really
Speaker 5: don't think that even struggling is the right word for that.
Speaker 5: He had that ball that bobbled a little bit, and
Speaker 5: and he wasn't getting quite the yardage that I think
Speaker 5: we're used to seeing him get when it comes to
Speaker 5: those returns. So Ayisha, I'm I would love more insight
Speaker 5: on this because you're the one that brought it to
Speaker 5: my attention and I can't get it out of my
Speaker 5: head now.
Speaker 7: Nah was a tressway dope name. By the way he
Speaker 7: told us off didn't he listen? The field position in
Speaker 7: this game? Starting field position to me was a key
Speaker 7: part of both sides of the ball for the Cowboys.
Speaker 7: The only time they really saw success offensively is when
Speaker 7: there was a touchback and trusted he literally.
Speaker 6: Was pinning them in the ten.
Speaker 7: It's a nine tater tids man, and honestly, the Cowboys,
Speaker 7: you know, punk cover is pretty good.
Speaker 6: And these guys are getting down there.
Speaker 7: We'll have to talk about Kelvin Joseph maybe finding something
Speaker 7: there with you know, CJ.
Speaker 6: Goodwin. But it was the starting field position in this game.
Speaker 7: The way he flipped that field and made basically made
Speaker 7: the Cowboys have to work for whatever they got. The
Speaker 7: lack of field position, starting field position really hurt the
Speaker 7: Cowboys offense, I think. And on the flip side, I
Speaker 7: think that the starting field position for the Commanders helped
Speaker 7: them a lot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because the Cowboys were.
Speaker 7: Punting deep in like almost deep in their end zone
Speaker 7: and stuff like that. So they were starting at their
Speaker 7: thirty five, they're forty. They had favorable field position all game,
Speaker 7: and the Cowboys did not see any of that. I
Speaker 7: think they had a lot to do with time of
Speaker 7: possession and just them being able. It also changes your
Speaker 7: play It changes your playbook when you're that deep, Like
Speaker 7: when you're that deep near that end zone, defensive players
Speaker 7: they can pin their ears back and the whole thing
Speaker 7: changes because that windows just that window so much smaller.
Speaker 7: But as the more that they moved down the field,
Speaker 7: you saw the playbook open up.
Speaker 6: And so I really think the offensive.
Speaker 7: Struggles this game started with Trustwade doing this thing.
Speaker 6: They got a weapon over there, they really do.
Speaker 8: And to your point, Aisha, the well, the Cowboys got
Speaker 8: the opening kick. It was a touchback, so around twenty
Speaker 8: five and that that was woo. That was awesome for
Speaker 8: the day because their next day, the next one, they
Speaker 8: started at their own ten, They started at their own thirteen,
Speaker 8: they started at their own sixteen, they started at their
Speaker 8: own twenty five on a touchback, and then near their
Speaker 8: own fifteen. Now that's all in the first half, but
Speaker 8: a couple of those were, you know, losing the field
Speaker 8: position battle because the offense had a couple of three
Speaker 8: and outs tracking right, yeah yeah, so yeah, obviously a
Speaker 8: long way to go, and that, you know, that's one
Speaker 8: of the things when you look at the defensive success
Speaker 8: last year was Brian Anger and special teams did such
Speaker 8: a great job of flipping the field. This is really
Speaker 8: one of the first games where the Cowboys have not
Speaker 8: won the field positions at all.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, So a great point by.
Speaker 6: You on that, Thank you.
Speaker 5: And I think something that was very shocking, I think
Speaker 5: for all things Cowboys was the lack of penalties this
Speaker 5: game from the Cowboys. And I will beat a dead
Speaker 5: horse with us every week. Something that I've been saying
Speaker 5: every week because I don't want to see them have
Speaker 5: penalties during a game, those pre snap penalties that are
Speaker 5: shooting themselves in the foot. It was really the Commanders
Speaker 5: on the other side of the ball that gave up
Speaker 5: two potential interceptions that were really big, I would say, And.
Speaker 4: Then that first time changed the game. It did, and
Speaker 4: that was in the second quarter, yep.
Speaker 8: And yeah, it was negated by an illegal contact and
Speaker 8: it gave the Cowboys a first down on their own
Speaker 8: thirty three. So instead of Washington having the ball, and
Speaker 8: remember Washington had just taken the lead, and the momentum
Speaker 8: was definitely with the Commanders at that point, and they
Speaker 8: should have had the ball, and that was that was
Speaker 8: a huge play.
Speaker 5: And something that I think going back to watch, you know,
Speaker 5: more of the game was somebody that I think was
Speaker 5: kind of a little unspoken hero when it comes to
Speaker 5: the Commander's penalties was Leyton Vanderush. He was really getting
Speaker 5: those offside penalties going. He was the one that was
Speaker 5: like getting them to move a little bit. He was
Speaker 5: getting a lot of those offside penalties going, which yeah,
Speaker 5: Leyden vandersh good for him. I mean, hey, whatever if
Speaker 5: it's not the Cowboys getting the penalties.
Speaker 4: That's fine.
Speaker 5: They only had four for twenty yards. The Commanders had
Speaker 5: eleven penalties for one hundred and thirty six yards, and
Speaker 5: I believe, let me see, within their first three games,
Speaker 5: they had twelve total penalties with their first three games.
Speaker 5: So the Cowboys just racked up the penalties for the
Speaker 5: Commanders and really, you look back and that that cost
Speaker 5: them the game. The Commanders were fighting for it for
Speaker 5: a little while there. Penalties will do that to you.
Speaker 8: And Michael Gallup drawing a couple of those, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: just go for it hand, no talk about I was
Speaker 8: just going to say a guy who really helped in
Speaker 8: that cause was Michael Gallup.
Speaker 3: You know his stats to catch his twenty four yards
Speaker 3: and that touchdown. Obviously those are huge for a guy
Speaker 3: who's coming back from injury. But I think the more
Speaker 3: impressive thing he did was draw those penalties and help
Speaker 3: with the poor field positioning that the Cowboys had to
Speaker 3: deal with. So I think he's another example of a
Speaker 3: guy we touched on MICHAEH. Parsons earlier. And obviously Mike
Speaker 3: has had two games where he hasn't really lit up
Speaker 3: the stat sheet. Like we talked about the first couple
Speaker 3: of weeks. I think this is a similar example of
Speaker 3: that with Gallup, where you know, maybe he didn't have
Speaker 3: all the catches in the world or all the yardage
Speaker 3: in the world, but his play off the ball really
Speaker 3: helped elevate the Cowboys offense and put them in really
Speaker 3: good positions to ultimately win.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then I mean we've been talking about it
Speaker 7: for the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 6: Now just there's a vertical threat.
Speaker 7: Now you got you know, you got a guy that
Speaker 7: can push it down the field. So Cooper Russia is
Speaker 7: seeing more single high not that you know that too
Speaker 7: high show, because hey, there's a threat of a deep
Speaker 7: threat also these guys. I think it was so important
Speaker 7: to me that the Cowboys at least because the run
Speaker 7: game was sporadic yesterday, to say the least, right, I
Speaker 7: mean like, oh.
Speaker 6: Well, how do you feel about it? I felt like
Speaker 6: it had a purpose.
Speaker 8: The run game was dutiful, yes, because what it did
Speaker 8: was it set up action.
Speaker 6: And that's what I was getting to.
Speaker 7: I think last year you saw a lot is that
Speaker 7: teams did not believe you could run the ball. They
Speaker 7: did not care if they weren't even loading the boxes.
Speaker 7: They were just dropping six to seven in coverage, right.
Speaker 7: And now that the Cowboys have shown in this last
Speaker 7: couple of weeks, we will run the ball and honestly,
Speaker 7: they honestly will run it until they see success in
Speaker 7: certain areas. I don't agree with the A and B
Speaker 7: gap stuff, but do what you do, and I think
Speaker 7: it really if you do it enough, yeah, they're gonna
Speaker 7: like those linebackers aren't gonna be sure if you're gonna
Speaker 7: run the ball here or not. And play action is
Speaker 7: something that Cooper Rush is really thriving on right now.
Speaker 7: I think he's number one in the league with the
Speaker 7: play action passes. And when you start talking about kind
Speaker 7: of what the Cowboys are trying to do with starting
Speaker 7: to establish the run game and trying to methodically move this,
Speaker 7: you know, move the change, I think that play action
Speaker 7: is going to be a big part of this offense
Speaker 7: moving forward. And I'm excited to see them getting the
Speaker 7: deep shots down the field to get guys to hey,
Speaker 7: pump your brakes.
Speaker 6: Hey listen, you can't.
Speaker 7: Key in on everything intermediate respect what we have on
Speaker 7: the back on the back of this offense.
Speaker 8: Yeah, here's here's the thing Ritzy and Wiley. I guess
Speaker 8: that's Wiley Texas. Can you explain more about play action pass?
Speaker 6: So oh somebody said that?
Speaker 5: Yes, So what's no?
Speaker 8: Because you know, I think that we need to please
Speaker 8: let us know when when there are terms tossed around, yeah,
Speaker 8: and we're not we're not quite sure what's going on.
Speaker 8: You know, when we would do the Cowboys one oh
Speaker 8: one for women, Babel Offenberg, my Cowboys radio colleague, and
Speaker 8: I did it for years and years, and so I
Speaker 8: think sometimes, especially uh women who didn't grow up playing
Speaker 8: the game, and you kind of hear these terms, you're
Speaker 8: not quite sure what they mean, and sometime it can
Speaker 8: be intimidating because you're nickel dying. Yeah yeah, rpo, What
Speaker 8: does all this mean?
Speaker 4: Please?
Speaker 8: I tell the ladies football was invented by men. It's
Speaker 8: not that complicated. We can figure it out half the time.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 8: So a play action pass, what that simply means is
Speaker 8: the quarterback is pretending to hand off the ball. He's
Speaker 8: faking the handoff and then going to throw. It is
Speaker 8: a pass play, but you're faking the run. Well why
Speaker 8: is that important? Well, because as Ayisha mentioned you're trying
Speaker 8: to get those linebackers to commit because oftentimes you're trying
Speaker 8: to throw the ball over the top of the linebackers.
Speaker 8: So even if it's just the slightest hesitation that they
Speaker 8: have to respect the run for just that long, it
Speaker 8: gives you that much room to go over their heads.
Speaker 8: It also can slow up the pass rush as well,
Speaker 8: because the defensive linemen or the pass rushers who are
Speaker 8: coming after you as a quarterback and trying to take
Speaker 8: your head off, you know, they have to pause for
Speaker 8: just a second because did he hand the ball off?
Speaker 4: Do we need to tackle the running back or.
Speaker 8: Do we need to keep going after the quarterback. So
Speaker 8: the importance of staying committed to the run. Even though
Speaker 8: the Cowboys averaged barely over two yards to carry yesterday.
Speaker 4: You still have to do it. It's like boxing. Get
Speaker 4: jib jab jab jab jam and.
Speaker 8: I'm with the Haymaker. So by staying committed to the run,
Speaker 8: it makes the play action work because they have to
Speaker 8: respect that you may be handing the ball off absolutely yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, and also I think somebody, and not to change
Speaker 5: the subject from the run, but somebody that we haven't mentioned,
Speaker 5: Ceedee Lamb Wide receiver one had himself a pretty good game,
Speaker 5: specifically in the in Cowboys, like, Oh, my goodness, the
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys third drive of the game. I'm just so
Speaker 5: excited to talk about CD. It was three passes, three
Speaker 5: consecutive passes to CD. Beautiful. Within those three catches that
Speaker 5: he made, he had fifty three yards racked up. That
Speaker 5: is incredible. And for the fact that when I go
Speaker 5: back to my notes, I'm looking past to CD twenty
Speaker 5: three yards good throw by Rush. The ball was perfectly thrown,
Speaker 5: perfectly placed for that catch, and then you saw that
Speaker 5: two more times after that. That was beautiful. And I
Speaker 5: think something that's been very important is to see CD
Speaker 5: really connecting with Cooper Rush and the duration that he's
Speaker 5: going to be in his starting quarterback because you see
Speaker 5: that with Noah Brown and Cooper Rush, right, but I
Speaker 5: don't necessarily see we think that we've seen the same
Speaker 5: amount of chemistry really with Cooper Rush and CD. But
Speaker 5: that drive really had me questioning. I said, oh man,
Speaker 5: that is great chemistry, great awareness by CD to know
Speaker 5: exactly where the ball was going to be placed. Just
Speaker 5: absolutely beautiful for everything, and something that I noted here
Speaker 5: on that third pass that he caught. Jason Peters was
Speaker 5: in there, and so Jason Peters another unspoken hero.
Speaker 6: There we go.
Speaker 5: See we had them both in there, another unspoken hero
Speaker 5: of the game that I think just continues to make
Speaker 5: an impact whether whether we see it or or not.
Speaker 5: And I mean that within the locker room. And I
Speaker 5: think Tyler Smith continues to get better every week. I mean, man,
Speaker 5: there wasn't a lot to really say that was negative
Speaker 5: in terms of penalties, going back to the original thing
Speaker 5: we're talking about in terms of penalties for the Cowboys,
Speaker 5: which enjoyed that this week. That made my victory Monday
Speaker 5: even better than I'll have to talk about penalties for
Speaker 5: the Cowboys no penalties.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting when we talk about this offense over
Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks, the way the conversation has
Speaker 3: shifted from DA's out, what are we going to do?
Speaker 3: To Okay, Cooper Rushan come in to win a game,
Speaker 3: but we'll see what he can do next week, to
Speaker 3: now the conversation is just the consistency that he provides.
Speaker 3: We talk about the defense being consistent to win games,
Speaker 3: but I think that's the way every single person in
Speaker 3: that locker room, the way Mike McCarthy, even Jerry Jones
Speaker 3: after the game. That's how he describes Cooper Rush is
Speaker 3: that consistency. He's not gonna be a guy who's gonna
Speaker 3: go out and be flashy. He's not your game manager,
Speaker 3: as Mike McCarthy told us earlier.
Speaker 4: But this is a guy.
Speaker 3: Who's earned the respect from his teammates just solely by
Speaker 3: the way he conducts himself in that backup quarterback role.
Speaker 4: So it's just been interesting to see.
Speaker 3: I think every single week his stats have pretty much
Speaker 3: been the same.
Speaker 4: There's not a whole lot.
Speaker 3: You know, he's throwing about thirty passes a game, he's
Speaker 3: tossing about two hundred plus yards a game, and he's
Speaker 3: averaging about a touchdown in a half. So it always
Speaker 3: feels good to have that in your arsenal for your
Speaker 3: backup quarterback.
Speaker 5: And he just puts together.
Speaker 7: It's it's so crazy because you'll look at the offense
Speaker 7: and you like three and now three and now whatever,
Speaker 7: and you'd.
Speaker 6: Be like, what is going on?
Speaker 7: And then he comes out there and they put together
Speaker 7: a real drive and then yeah, like the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4: In the Monday night, It's New York said, are you
Speaker 4: a gamer?
Speaker 7: Are you a gamer, because it's it's like it's night
Speaker 7: and day in some instances where they're just like, let's
Speaker 7: go score right now, and they're not denied with the
Speaker 7: seedy Lamb, you know, comming that you may talk about him,
Speaker 7: I think it's important that we see that he gets
Speaker 7: in a rhythm early in the game. So it seems
Speaker 7: like he's that type of player that needs to get
Speaker 7: touches early. He doesn't even have to be anything fancy.
Speaker 7: Just get the ball in his hands, let him feel
Speaker 7: the ball, get a feel for how the game is,
Speaker 7: and then from there let's get going with them.
Speaker 6: I'm excited.
Speaker 4: Why you laughing? No, just just because that that.
Speaker 8: I think it was the first play at the fourth quarter,
Speaker 8: his thirty yard touchdown catch. That is the easiest touchdown
Speaker 8: catch you'll ever see for CD Lamb because normally his
Speaker 8: or like the contested catches or falling backwards in the
Speaker 8: end zone and you know all that crazy stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 8: just a post route and the guy took the outside.
Speaker 8: What's a post route? Oh, ladies, this is really you
Speaker 8: know a post route. Guess where you run on a
Speaker 8: post route? You go up and then you cut towards
Speaker 8: the goalpost. All right, So but man, I know he's
Speaker 8: like he couldn't believe that there was nobody around him.
Speaker 4: You know, I couldn't believe.
Speaker 5: There was nobody around him. It was wide open. It's
Speaker 5: like they wanted CD.
Speaker 8: But that's Cooper Rush looking at it. You know, you
Speaker 8: look middle left and then you come back to your
Speaker 8: guy right.
Speaker 6: So you've got it.
Speaker 4: You've got to pull the safeties.
Speaker 8: You've got to keep the coverage away so that CD
Speaker 8: can work the one on one and look away. Keep
Speaker 8: that safety over there, and it's by the time he reacts,
Speaker 8: it's too late for him to get back and defend
Speaker 8: the past.
Speaker 3: Yes, ceedee lamb his second touchdown of the season. We
Speaker 3: are going to take another quick break, but we'll be

Speaker 5: If you're gonna paint anything on my face, better be
Speaker 5: a giant pumpkin.
Speaker 4: So you're getting the pumpkin lattes. In July had Yes
Speaker 4: in the middle.
Speaker 5: Of the I'm the direct consumer and my apartment had
Speaker 5: my pumpkin decor up in July. It went from you know,
Speaker 5: my supper to cord to pumpkin.
Speaker 7: Hey, there would be no pumpkin spice slimmers, thank you, thank.
Speaker 4: You, respectfully. I wait for pumpkin. My nephew's birthday is Matthew.
Speaker 8: His birthday is Halloween, and until he was like nine
Speaker 8: years old, he thought that everyone dressed up and everyone
Speaker 8: handed out candy because it.
Speaker 4: Was his birthday.
Speaker 5: But it was, it was. It wasn't for.
Speaker 4: He's thirty four now, but yeah, well he can years.
Speaker 5: Later, but that's okay.
Speaker 3: Switching things back to the Cowboys, guys, eight straight wins
Speaker 3: over division opponents for this Dallas Cowboys team. I think
Speaker 3: that's an incredible stat given, you know, the injuries that
Speaker 3: they've dealt with over the last meetings with those divisional opponents.
Speaker 3: And as we switched back, we just talked about the offense,
Speaker 3: we talked about the defense. What else has been clicking
Speaker 3: for this team as they had into a break from
Speaker 3: n c NFC East.
Speaker 7: Play what I guess, I mean, obviously the d line
Speaker 7: play is clicking. I think that they're they're still You
Speaker 7: can tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm looking at
Speaker 7: how dan Quinn does like his rotations. There's so many
Speaker 7: you know, sub packages and stuff, and the multiplicity of
Speaker 7: this team is just continuing to show. It just continues,
Speaker 7: like these guys come out. Dante Fowler is a guy
Speaker 7: that I think, you know, I don't think he was
Speaker 7: an underrated free agent signing, but his snaps have you know,
Speaker 7: slowly but surely increased, you know, and he's impact in
Speaker 7: the game. But then also as far as the run defense,
Speaker 7: is there any concern for you guys, how do you
Speaker 7: guys feel about how they have defended the run, because
Speaker 7: yesterday I felt like they definitely improved in the second half.
Speaker 7: You could see that dan Quinn made it a point
Speaker 7: to shore up what was going on on that left side.
Speaker 7: You could tell that, you know, the commanders were going
Speaker 7: at that spot.
Speaker 8: What did you see, Chris, Yeah, I think one of
Speaker 8: their points of emphasis last week was in terms of containment,
Speaker 8: because where they got hurt on Monday was was Daniel Jones,
Speaker 8: the Giants quarterback who got most the running yards. I mean,
Speaker 8: he just killed the defense in that way, and so
Speaker 8: that was one of their big points of them assist yesterday.
Speaker 4: Now Wentz was under so much harassment.
Speaker 8: Wentz has some You know, he's athletic too, he can
Speaker 8: move around. Those two intentional grounding penalties were real killers
Speaker 8: for Washington yesterday. But I know that coach McCarthy said
Speaker 8: earlier today that Quenton Bohanna should be fine, but that
Speaker 8: big body defensive tackle. Defensive tackles are the ones that
Speaker 8: are in the middle of the defensive line. Those are
Speaker 8: the guys who are the human speed bumps. Okay, you know,
Speaker 8: don't let any We had a guy back in the nineties,
Speaker 8: his name was John Nicks. He was as wide as
Speaker 8: he was tall, and they called him a trash can
Speaker 8: full of dirt because you just weren't able to move him.
Speaker 8: So so I'm hopeful that Bohanna is able to get
Speaker 8: all of his work this week, all of his practice reps,
Speaker 8: and be good to go in LA because we need
Speaker 8: those stout guys in the middle of the line.
Speaker 4: OSA.
Speaker 8: I think he doesn't get mentioned a lot, but I
Speaker 8: thought he had another strong game. You're talking about the
Speaker 8: defensive line. I know that DeMarcus lawrencey didn't register any
Speaker 8: sach yesterday and all those pressures pressure, it's just he's
Speaker 8: he's the war daddy. Yeah, and that, to use Jerry
Speaker 8: Jones's term, he's he's really the heart of the leader
Speaker 8: of the defense, really the heart of the defense. Donovan Wilson.
Speaker 8: I know we're talking about defensive line, but he's the
Speaker 8: thumper in the secondary and delivering the hard hits and
Speaker 8: a really strong game. There were so many tackles for
Speaker 8: loss yesterday, particularly in the third quarter.
Speaker 4: I've got TFLs.
Speaker 8: I just make little notes, and so if it says
Speaker 8: TfL that means tackle for loss. And in the first
Speaker 8: three series two for Washington on offense won by the Cowboys.
Speaker 8: I have one, two, three, four, I have six TFLs
Speaker 8: written in my notes and so, which means tackling behind
Speaker 8: the line of scrimmage. And Donovan Wilson had one of those.
Speaker 8: Malie Cooker had one, and so so get put in
Speaker 8: the other team in the long down and distances. Key.
Speaker 5: Something I wanted to ask you, ladies, And it's only
Speaker 5: because I missed the game that I hate when I
Speaker 5: have to miss a Cowboys game. I mean, I went
Speaker 5: back and I watched it, but I went back and
Speaker 5: looked at Cowboys Twitter what was going on, and something
Speaker 5: that was being questioned was the game management when it
Speaker 5: came to fourth downs for this game and Mike McCarthy
Speaker 5: deciding to for goo the you know, the fourth down
Speaker 5: attempt in the second quarter and then again, let's see
Speaker 5: it was the Cowboys third drive and then in the
Speaker 5: Cowboys twelfth drive of the game, And so I just
Speaker 5: wanted to ask. Obviously, we know they trust the defense.
Speaker 5: We know the identity of this team is the defense.
Speaker 5: We just said that, but what is y'all's opinion really
Speaker 5: when it comes to not going for the fourth down?
Speaker 5: Especially this one was a fourth and one over here?
Speaker 5: I believe this was in the fourth quarter, and so
Speaker 5: what really is y'all's opinion on that not going for
Speaker 5: the fourth and one? You know, when I think they
Speaker 5: were on a roll at that point to make it.
Speaker 5: It could have been another three and out series. Field
Speaker 5: position wouldn't have been an issue. But game management wise,
Speaker 5: how do you think Mike McCarthy has been doing with
Speaker 5: those decisions? And I know he's gotten scrutiny in the past,
Speaker 5: you know, a couple of seasons, but I personally don't
Speaker 5: think he's doing a bad job with it. But I
Speaker 5: just wanted opinions here to open up the table to
Speaker 5: get Cowboys Twitter back on the right track.
Speaker 4: Do you want to take it first out?
Speaker 7: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: I don't have any questions from yesterday.
Speaker 8: I would say that to almost two and a half
Speaker 8: seasons in the thing with Mike McCarthy would be being
Speaker 8: too aggressive and going for it too much on fourth down.
Speaker 8: So I had no questions about yesterday. The other thing
Speaker 8: is you were talking about Hayley, you were asking things
Speaker 8: that really stand out. When Bret Maher is four for
Speaker 8: four on field goals and he's what ten of eleven
Speaker 8: or eleven to twelve so far? Yeah, ten of eleven.
Speaker 8: I mean, there's just no question about it.
Speaker 6: Money mah.
Speaker 8: And then Brian Anger the way that now I know
Speaker 8: he had, the the way that the defense was able
Speaker 8: to you know, they're at their own thirty yard line
Speaker 8: and they keep Washington off the board, not even a
Speaker 8: field goal, much less a touchdown. What a standout series
Speaker 8: that was for the Cowboys defense. But Brian Anger has
Speaker 8: been money. Yeah for both And so other than that
Speaker 8: one shank which was such a surprise.
Speaker 5: And I don't think we'll see that again from Brian Ainger,
Speaker 5: that was I think, you know, Michael Parsons said, it
Speaker 5: best last week of If you see something happen in
Speaker 5: the game, you're probably not going to see it the
Speaker 5: next I think you just look at it. It was
Speaker 5: almost the ball placement. It just I don't think it's just.
Speaker 4: A little high. It almost went off his ankle. It
Speaker 4: was just probably the drop.
Speaker 8: Usually if you see something like that, it's outdoors, it's
Speaker 8: really windy conditions. And I know that sounds silly because
Speaker 8: you're only dropping the ball just a couple feet, you know,
Speaker 8: from you know, from your waist to.
Speaker 4: Where your foot strikes it.
Speaker 8: But sometimes the win can affect a drop that had
Speaker 8: nothing to do with yesterday.
Speaker 4: It was just a mishit.
Speaker 7: Nah, No, Christy makes a good point. I mean your
Speaker 7: field goal kickers. Yeah, he kind of looking a little automatic.
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna talk a whole bunch of mot I mean, like,
Speaker 7: I don't personally know if it's a lot of jinks.
Speaker 7: And when you look at Kickers, a lot of its
Speaker 7: confidence and the locker room is showing great confidence in him.
Speaker 7: I think Mike McCarthy showed great confidence in him yesterday
Speaker 7: and people getting behind him is what's going to continue
Speaker 7: to feel him playing well. And it looks like you're
Speaker 7: gonna need him for a little bit, you know, as
Speaker 7: your offense continues to progress. But I also want to,
Speaker 7: you know, let everybody know, take a second and go.
Speaker 6: Look across the NFL.
Speaker 7: People aren't just putting up thirty every game right now.
Speaker 7: This is a very progressive thing right now with preseason
Speaker 7: being changed the way that it was. So you're I
Speaker 7: think we'll start seeing offenses start to get in a
Speaker 7: rhythm here in this next few weeks or whatever. But yo,
Speaker 7: like your offense, your offense is still finding this way.
Speaker 7: A lot of teams are still finding their way right now.
Speaker 7: Let's just be patient to see what we got.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just feel like if it ain't broke, don't
Speaker 4: fix it.
Speaker 3: Right And when you got a I like money Mayer
Speaker 3: who has been hitting so well at Chrissy mentioned ten
Speaker 3: of eleven, are you going to take the easy points
Speaker 3: or maybe chance it on fourth and one.
Speaker 4: And possibly get closer to the easy points?
Speaker 6: Yeah, because that that D line.
Speaker 7: We didn't talk about it a whole bunch, But don't
Speaker 7: sleep on pain and Allen.
Speaker 4: They gave. They were tremendous. They they were tremendous.
Speaker 7: I saw I was watching the game again yesterday, I
Speaker 7: see ninety four chasing after Tony Pollard, I said, what
Speaker 7: is this?
Speaker 6: Well, they did tackle.
Speaker 4: And having the two of them side by side.
Speaker 8: Now it's going to be a chore this coming Sunday
Speaker 8: against Aaron Donald. But to have two first round picks
Speaker 8: its back years Alabama. They were outstanding and like I said,
Speaker 8: that was beating your head against a wall for Zeke
Speaker 8: and Pollard yesterday. But credit to Kellen Moore for keeping
Speaker 8: keeping with it, softening them up and setting up play action.
Speaker 3: Absolutely credit to this Dallas team for picking up their
Speaker 3: third straight win.
Speaker 4: They are now three and one on the season and
Speaker 4: they face the Rams next week.
Speaker 3: We will break it down even more on Girls Talk,
Speaker 3: Boys Talk coming up tomorrow, but that'll do it for
Speaker 3: us today. For Aisha, Christy and Jess, I'm Haley Sutton
Speaker 3: and we will see you next time.
