Wait, let's not tell us. 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.360 I mean it's victory Monday. Anytime you have a victory Monday, 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:10.400 it's always a great day. I feel like, especially coming 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.240 to work in It's a little weight off of your shoulder, 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.880 a little big you can wear your your Cowboys gear, 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.520 your victory blue. You know, Victory Monday I think is 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.760 just good overall. And I think something that makes it 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.040 even sweeter is when you start to see improvements on 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.959 things over the course of the season so far that 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.319 we've been waiting to see, which we'll get into. But 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.920 it's a good day. Anytime it's a victory Monday, it's 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:31.360 a good day. 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.039 Yeah, so far, I've been told because my first week 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.200 was two weeks ago when Cooper Rush got his first win, 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.560 and the thing I was told all day long that 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.959 day was I'm so glad you started today instead. 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:43.160 Of last week. 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.040 Last week was you know, the mood was rough exactly, 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:47.480 So so far I haven't had. 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:48.120 A rough Monday. 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.760 So you're telling me you are Cooper Rush's good luck 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.040 charm so far is yeah, we're seeing. 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.279 So if you follow me on Twitter every single time 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.480 the Cowboys have won so far, I've literally tweeted the 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:01.880 Cowboys are She's a prophetess, so I'm not trying to brag. 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:06.800 But the Michael Gallup touchdown as well, like a play before, 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.480 I mean, she's powers. 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.440 Apparently I willed that for him. He needed that, man. 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.320 I thought that was one of the most satisfying. Yes, certainly, 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.639 certainly a week at the Star is so much more 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.000 fun after a win, but to see guys who have 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.239 worked so hard, who've overcome a lot, and just good 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.560 guys that you're rooting for because they're good people. And 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.400 what's fun about being on the sideline is every season 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:37.880 is a totally different dynamic and to see we only 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.799 had one new assistant coach this year, but still young 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.000 players becoming veteran players and leaders, and then guys coming 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.680 back from injury. And the way that Michael Gallup was 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.639 greeted on the sideline because everybody. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:50.600 Knew how hard he worked. 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.720 And I think that the coolest thing was for all 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.400 the high fives and hugs and slaps on the back, 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.040 the longest hug and hey, they didn't say I love 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:01.359 you man. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:02.200 It wasn't like air. 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.280 But Britt Brown, who was the director of rehabilitation for 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.600 the Cowboys, and so he's been a member of the 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.520 athletic training staff for over twenty. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.240 Five years with the Cowboys, and so. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.760 He works most closely with the guys who were rehabbing. 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.200 And of course Michael Gallup suffered the injury early January, 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.239 so it's been almost ten months of him working back. 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.440 And so when Michael gets to the sideline and that 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.480 hug was a little bit longer and a little bit 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.440 tighter between Britt and Michael. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.040 So that was really satisfying to see that yesterday. 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.320 Yeah, that's amazing. See, we love having you here insight, 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.440 and the things you see from your view on the 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:40.760 sideline is just incredible. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.280 Well, and the other thing is, I think a couple 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.000 of weeks ago, we were talking about how Noah Brown 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.119 with his first career touchdown and Zeke had to run 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.000 retrieve the ball for him, the touchdown ball, so that 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.400 he could have it to take home. Zeke had to 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:59.200 do the same thing locker. And then one other thing 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.560 Deron Bland did. We should talk about some of these, 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.840 you know, last second injuries. It's very unusual to have 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.960 an injury happen in game warm ups, but Den Bland, 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.800 who's a rookie fifth round pick, and he had to 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.720 step in for Jordan Lewis, And of course Deron Bland 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.839 had the interception in the fourth quarter that basically thwarted 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:22.560 the last commander's hope for a rally. And so it 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:27.000 was Donovan Wilson, veteran safety, and Donovan was the game 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.560 day captain for the Cowboys defense yesterday and he ran 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:33.160 out there and retrieved the ball. For that made the 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.919 rookie mistake of not keeping his first career interception, and. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.320 Even Deron talked about it, he said that like once 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.520 he he's like, once he caught the ball, he was like, 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:43.279 it didn't even feel like I was there. 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:44.000 He was like, I didn't. 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.520 I didn't realize, like you know, that I made the interception. 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.360 And so until like everyone starts swarming around him. And 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.120 I think that's interesting because that just lets you know 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.520 how emphas he is, like how focused he is. And 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.000 I I sweeted earlier today, like he read that play 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.680 all the way. Yeah, he drove on that ball. He 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.160 knew where that was coming to. And it's just a 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.719 testament to like this team. And we've talked about the 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.839 depth on this team and just seeing a lot of 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.760 these guys step in in the nick of time and. 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.760 There not be a drop off. Yeah, let's do it. 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:13.880 Yeah. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.440 I pulled heron after the game or like as he 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.240 was coming out of the locker room to talk to him, 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.720 just one on one, and I asked him the same thing. 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.000 I said, you know, Michael Gallup got his ball or 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.080 I'm mixing that up, but I asked him about that 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.360 interception and just being able to be in that moment, 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.000 and he kind of said the same thing. He said, 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:33.680 you know, like, yeah, I kind of just blacked out. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.480 But the thing that he kept talking about was the 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.320 surrounding cast that he had that made him ready for 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.679 that moment. You know, like, sure, he finds out minutes 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.200 that he's going in to start for the first time 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.359 as a rookie, and he didn't feel that way because 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.920 he knew the preparation and the room that he's been 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.039 in and what he's been surrounded by a practice and stuff. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.960 He felt ready and compelled to play. So he has 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:56.039 such a strong camp. 0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:00.279 And I think that fans who don't follow the game 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:04.720 super closely don't have a true appreciation for how difficult 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:08.039 it is to play in the slot at cornerback, because 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.120 most cornerback, you know, you're playing out while you think 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.040 at Dion Sanders and the skinny, fast guys who are 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.320 chasing the wide receivers down the field, and yeah, that's cornerback. 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.080 But to do what Jordan Lewis does, to have that 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.440 skill set to be able to play in the slot, 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.400 which means there's a lot more traffic, means it's a 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:25.440 lot more physical. 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.080 You have to be a willing tackler. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.240 You know, because you're there, you know, squeezed amongst the 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:35.920 linebackers oftentimes, and sometimes you get matched up with bigger 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.400 guys who might be tied ends, you know. Instead of 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.120 the little Cole Beasley's of the world, sometimes you get 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.599 the bigger guys. So that is a unique skill set. 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:49.000 And to have a rookie who's getting his first defensive 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.799 snaps to be able to step in and play at 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.039 that level, that's really a unique thing. And to not 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:58.520 have this is the third week also without jy Ron curse. Yeah, 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.960 and at safety, he does a lot down in the box, 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.640 he plays in the slot. He's a bigger guy, and 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:08.280 so he's a really it's a real physical uh. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.040 He adds a real physical dimension to it. 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.480 I don't don't just mean willingness to tackle, but he 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.200 can take on like the big guys, big tied ends 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.160 and stuff. And so when you have an Israel Mukuamu, yeah, 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:26.200 physically yeah, and so so it's it's really the depth. 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.600 It's not just numbers, it's that physically they almost match 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:30.560 up the same. 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.920 So well, So kudos to the personnel department for putting 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:34.760 it together. 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.480 Like that, And I was gonna say that absolutely speaks 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.000 to the culture in this locker room. And we've repeated 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.480 this over and over. Really it's it's sounded like a 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.520 broken record. But the next man up mentality and just 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.720 how all of these guys are so locked in and 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.960 they believe in their coaching. I think that is so important. 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:51.920 I think the chemistry that they have with each other, 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.960 it's a brotherhood and it shows because they all somehow, 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.800 some way you bend, but you don't break. They always 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.720 always find the way to make the play happen. And 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.040 you have the difference makers, you have the Micaeh Parsons. 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.520 Of course, how can we forget to mention Micah who 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.720 It was interesting to go back and rewatch the game 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.640 and really look at the plays that he's in, the 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.920 plays that he's out, and how he allows for those 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.560 plays to happen. When you really go back and dissect everything, 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.240 Michaeh Parsons is just so special. And we keep talking 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:25.040 about this, and how can we forget Trayvon digs ladies. 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.480 He had such a great game. I think this was 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.880 something that has been brewing for Trayvon. I think him 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.320 going into week four and people saying, oh, he had 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.840 eleven interceptions last season, what's going on? We haven't seen Trayvon. 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.400 Where's Trayvon? And just all that talk. Right, he came 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.880 out this game, and to be honest, when I went 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.719 back and I watched and I was writing notes, I 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.640 underline names that I feel like I'm starting to repeat 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.240 a lot. He was such a difference maker in this 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:57.160 game alone, and he was bullying on the field. I mean, 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.280 he was making his presence known. Trayvon had himself a 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:01.839 night and I just I was so happy to see 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.160 him come back and really come back in full force. 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:05.560 Yeah, I agree. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.880 My favorite stat that we've been talking about, which I 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.680 just caught onto, is that this is the third straight 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:16.880 game where Trayvon Diggs has made a game ending play basically, 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.120 and it just speaks to how much he's elevated his game. 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.840 He's playing such better, more discipline, more physical football. You 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.840 had the pass breakups. I think you had three pass 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.480 breakups in yesterday's game. So just to go from being 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:35.000 the guy who catches the interceptions to a corner who 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.240 is going to make those game saving plays or a 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.000 guy you can depend on to make, you know, an 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.240 important tackle at an important part of the game. I 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:43.920 think it's really kind of made him a little bit 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:45.160 more dynamic. 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.120 Of a football And I think that key drive on 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.839 that fourth and fifteen in the fourth quarter, where the 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.079 Commander's kind of had a pulse, it was a real 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.600 make or break where he swatted that ball. I mean, 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.880 that was the difference maker. And I think you go 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.520 back and you look and he was reading that all 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.480 the way through and just his awareness of where to 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.200 put his body every single time, even when it comes 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.200 to I'm barely gonna tap the ball, but I'm gonna 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.960 tap it in a way that that receiver's not catching it. 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.959 I mean, his his awareness to his body is just incredible. 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.559 Yeah, and that's something I think. 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.240 I mean, I think I said it like a couple 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.040 of weeks ago, like he was in practice and he 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.280 was barking at his teammates. He was barking at Noah. 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.800 Noah's looking at him like come on, man, like we're practicing. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.320 But his competitive fire. 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.680 Yeah, when he deleted Twitter, you started seeing him in 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.920 practice and the guy just really seemed like he locked in. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.520 And I also think it's important that we remember this 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.360 is his third year. Like, cornerback is a. 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:45.080 Very difficult position to play, and I think that, you know, 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.560 we're just seeing these guys develop in front of us, 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.720 and the stickiness that he's playing with is different, Like 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.679 you can tell that he's reading and also too, there was. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.240 A couple he baited, he baited, He baited. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.480 Him like quite a few times yesterday and I don't 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.040 know it. It is dope to see the evolvement of 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:02.960 his game. But I think this has a lot to 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.640 do with Malie Cooker being back there man in that 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.640 safety spot, like being rangy and giving Trayvon. I think 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.319 the faith that hey, if I slip up here, you 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.840 got me, you got me, I got you, And that's 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.080 something that comes with, you know, building a secondary. If 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.720 you listen to them, they're talking about playing together, even 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.760 the defensive lines talking about rushing is one and you 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.840 can just start to see the unity on this team 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.360 and the camaraderie on this team, them being drafted together 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.000 and sticking together. They spend time with each other off 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.320 outside the field. You can see that on this defense 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.240 and how they move and how they play together. 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.959 It's interesting the dynamic within at and T Stadium because 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.360 the last few home games of last year when Trayvon 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:48.640 is chasing Everson Walls's interception record, And truly it was 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.200 at the point where anytime a ball winning Trayvon's direction, 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.480 it was fifty to fifty is the wide receiver gonna 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.679 get it? Or is Trayvon gonna get it? But the 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.480 energy at at and T Stadium, every time a pass 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:06.200 was directed towards Trayvon it was palpable. I'm not trying 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.040 to be dramatic, no, but I'm saying, I'm saying you 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.040 can feel it. And only a couple of times have 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:16.120 I experienced that on an NFL sideline. And we didn't 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.560 get to play in Chicago often, but when we did, 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.640 and Devin Hester, who was a finalist for the Hall 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.920 of Fame last year, who was arguably one of the 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:30.240 great punt returners return specialists in NFL history, but when 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.320 he would drop back for a punt, everyone was on 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.600 the edge of their seat. Usually a punt's coming, all right, 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.600 there's going to be a commercial time out. Everyone's making 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.080 a break for the restroom or to the concession stand. 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:41.920 But no, not in Chicago. 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.679 Everyone's on the edge of their seat because something extraordinary 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.960 is about to happen. And it was that way for 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.840 a couple of years at Texas Stadium when Dion Sanders 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:52.880 played for the Cowboys and he would be back there 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:53.400 for a punt. 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.200 You could just it was tingly, you could feel it. Yeah, 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:57.320 And that's how it was. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.240 That's how it was towards the end of last season 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.640 with Trayvon Diggs because everyone just wanted hit that record. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:05.880 Course he ended up tying. 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.720 Ever Since Walls for the most interceptions in a single 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:11.560 season in Cowboys history. 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.360 But that's you know. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.079 And also to look up and just see all the 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.280 number seven jerseys up there, yeah you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.480 You don't see too many cornerbacks with the jerseys. 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.400 Yeah, And I like to We just had Mike McCarthy's 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.840 press conference a few minutes before we started the show, 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.800 and all this talk about defense. The last question he 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.200 was asked was, you know, just how good is this defense? 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:31.960 How good can they be? 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.640 And Mike McCarthy one of my favorite things he said today, 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.000 he said, the defense is like our team's thermostat They 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.720 set the tone. And I love that that's just become 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.440 this team's identity, you know, like you know, it doesn't 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.560 matter if and when, you know, Dak comes back on 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.680 the offense. Right now, the focus is on the defense 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.760 and the defense. He said that they were the consistency 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.720 on this team. The defense is what's keeping them, you know, 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.000 in this season. And so I love the idea of 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.320 a cornerback being palpable with that energy because that's how 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.440 Mike McCarthy described this defense. 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:06.719 So a lot of good stuff on that side of 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:07.000 the ball. 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.600 It's quickly to talk injuries, because there was a couple 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:11.240 that McCarthy gave us. 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:12.280 An update to the first one. 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.000 Obviously, I think everyone's worried about is Dak Prescott if 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.839 he's going to be coming back for next week's game 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:19.760 against the Rams. He did say that Dak has a 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.120 doctor's appointment later today. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.360 Uh, so he will be borrow morning tomorrow mornings, day morning. 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.520 I'm so glad you were there day morning. 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.160 So he has a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. And then 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.000 some good news as well with Noah Brown and Quinin Bohanna. 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.040 Both of them all signs are pointing to being good. 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:40.720 And see, the thing that the thing that's important about 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.120 injuries is not just oh, Noah's going to miss a 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:49.520 series or two on offense, it's within the game. Noah 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.040 is the personal protector on punts. So there is a 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.160 domino effect on these guys. 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.440 It's like a it's a back you know, Noah Brown. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.560 Well then you have, you know, instead a just one 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.600 personal protector, Noah. They end up taking Tony Pollard and 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.440 Rico Dawbell and putting them side by side in front 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.400 of Brian Anger. So there is a domino effect. But 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.600 and then when when Quentin Bohanna went down with that 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.040 shoulder entry, when they when they come to the sideline, 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.480 actually they don't even come to the sideline. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.200 They just head straight up the tunnel up the end zone. 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.200 And if you're if you're ever at at and T 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.200 Stadium or you're watching a game and you see the 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.880 trainers or the doctors take a player straight off and 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.160 they're heading up towards the tunnel behind the end zone, 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.680 that's not good news because when you go up that way, 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.320 you know what's at the end of that tunnel, the. 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:39.000 X ray room. 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:44.320 So I was going to say, no, you don't, you know, 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.280 you don't want them to head that direction. You want 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.360 them to come over and get checked out, like for example, 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.800 Zach Martin. It looks like, oh my gosh, you know, 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.800 with it, and Zach is like the Black Knight and 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.920 money Python. I mean he is just but a flesh 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.000 wound him to come on the field. I mean, they're 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.120 just gonna have to amputate something. But when he comes 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.920 over and luckily they he just ended up having his 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.080 right ankle retaped and he got back in the game. 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.080 And I think he only missed two plays, maybe just one. 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.480 But I know we're up against a break. But at 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.960 one point I want to tell the story of We 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.720 talked about Jordan Lewis uh missing the game and Deron 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.960 Bland the rookie, having to step in, but Jordan Lewis 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.640 missing the game because of an injury that happened in 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:33.080 pregame warmups.

Now we're getting ready 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:07.199 for the coin flip and Tyler beyotdish it was his 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.080 rookie year, but he was our starting center, and he's 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.480 like feeling the back of his leg, like his hamstring, 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.960 and he comes over and he's talking to the medical 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.000 staff and the I'm usually over on the side by 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.800 the offensive lineman, so I see all this happening. And now 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:23.399 all of a sudden, I can just see Tyler just 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:27.199 getting frustrated, you know. And then Joe Looney grabs a 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.119 football and is doing some last minute snaps, and so 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:33.919 Tyler Beyotdish, the starting center, missed the game because he 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:38.080 tweaks his hamstring between the national anthem and the kickoff. 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:41.080 Wow, what was he doing? Just no, they just they 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:46.359 just kind of do some light the jogging. That's a 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:47.560 little too much. 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:51.399 Nobody the offensive lineman don't really jog now. But what 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:53.639 they'll do is they'll get in their stance, the centers 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:55.679 will get down and you know, snap the ball. But 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.480 usually the offensive lineman just kind of we're you know, 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.520 stepping back and pro that kind of thing. But something happened, 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.199 and so, I mean, that was absolutely the craziest. But 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.119 one thing that Mike McCarthy mentioned earlier today in this 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.760 press conference, the really unfortunate thing about these injuries that 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:16.880 happen in pregame warm ups is the inactive list has 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:20.040 to be turned in ninety minutes before kickoff. So Jordan 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:24.480 getting injured after that, you know, within that ninety minute period, 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:29.080 means that they weren't able to activate and to Sean Wright, 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:31.840 so they could have gone, they could have had an 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.760 extra cornerback available. Now to Shawn does not play in 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:39.320 the slot the way that Den and that that's why 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:43.080 you had That's why you have right inactive instead of 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.960 Bland inactive because Bland has that skill set to play 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.720 in the slot. So that's that's why even though Derawn's 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:53.320 rookie and right to second year guy, why. 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:54.240 You have him active? 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:58.200 But yeah, you it again, and it also affects special 0:21:58.240 --> 0:21:59.480 teams and things like that. 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:01.680 So again there's there's a domino. 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.800 And I'm glad you brought up special teams because something 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:08.480 that Ayisha and I mean, we were we were going 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:10.720 before the show just talking about, you know, really all 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.800 aspects and and I feel like and Ayisha can definitely 0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:16.520 give you more insight on this because she's the one 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:18.280 that brought it to my attention when I was going 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:22.400 back to watch the game. Is the Washington punter had 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:25.280 our special teams kind of struggling a little bit. I mean, 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:29.160 Cavante Turpin, who's been producing and who's been giving good 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:32.920 field position for the Cowboys offense, he was he looked 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:34.600 like he was struggling a little bit, But I really 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:38.639 don't think that even struggling is the right word for that. 0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:41.800 He had that ball that bobbled a little bit, and 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.560 and he wasn't getting quite the yardage that I think 0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:46.480 we're used to seeing him get when it comes to 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:50.240 those returns. So Ayisha, I'm I would love more insight 0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:51.600 on this because you're the one that brought it to 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.040 my attention and I can't get it out of my 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:53.320 head now. 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:58.560 Nah was a tressway dope name. By the way he 0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:01.560 told us off didn't he listen? The field position in 0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:05.000 this game? Starting field position to me was a key 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.399 part of both sides of the ball for the Cowboys. 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:12.920 The only time they really saw success offensively is when 0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:15.880 there was a touchback and trusted he literally. 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:16.560 Was pinning them in the ten. 0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:21.119 It's a nine tater tids man, and honestly, the Cowboys, 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:22.960 you know, punk cover is pretty good. 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:24.040 And these guys are getting down there. 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:26.399 We'll have to talk about Kelvin Joseph maybe finding something 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:27.359 there with you know, CJ. 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:31.280 Goodwin. But it was the starting field position in this game. 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:34.560 The way he flipped that field and made basically made 0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:37.119 the Cowboys have to work for whatever they got. The 0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:40.280 lack of field position, starting field position really hurt the 0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:43.919 Cowboys offense, I think. And on the flip side, I 0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:47.920 think that the starting field position for the Commanders helped 0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:48.440 them a lot. 0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:49.920 Yeah, because the Cowboys were. 0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.639 Punting deep in like almost deep in their end zone 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.000 and stuff like that. So they were starting at their 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:58.840 thirty five, they're forty. They had favorable field position all game, 0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:00.800 and the Cowboys did not see any of that. I 0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:02.240 think they had a lot to do with time of 0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:05.240 possession and just them being able. It also changes your 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:08.080 play It changes your playbook when you're that deep, Like 0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:11.360 when you're that deep near that end zone, defensive players 0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:13.800 they can pin their ears back and the whole thing 0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.880 changes because that windows just that window so much smaller. 0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:19.200 But as the more that they moved down the field, 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:21.439 you saw the playbook open up. 0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:23.680 And so I really think the offensive. 0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:26.720 Struggles this game started with Trustwade doing this thing. 0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:29.040 They got a weapon over there, they really do. 0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:32.879 And to your point, Aisha, the well, the Cowboys got 0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:35.040 the opening kick. It was a touchback, so around twenty 0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:37.119 five and that that was woo. That was awesome for 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:41.199 the day because their next day, the next one, they 0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:44.000 started at their own ten, They started at their own thirteen, 0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:46.479 they started at their own sixteen, they started at their 0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:48.960 own twenty five on a touchback, and then near their 0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:51.199 own fifteen. Now that's all in the first half, but 0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:53.840 a couple of those were, you know, losing the field 0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:56.400 position battle because the offense had a couple of three 0:24:56.440 --> 0:25:00.639 and outs tracking right, yeah yeah, so yeah, obviously a 0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:02.720 long way to go, and that, you know, that's one 0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:06.040 of the things when you look at the defensive success 0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:09.480 last year was Brian Anger and special teams did such 0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:12.200 a great job of flipping the field. This is really 0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:14.719 one of the first games where the Cowboys have not 0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:16.320 won the field positions at all. 0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:18.160 Yeah. Yeah, So a great point by. 0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:19.359 You on that, Thank you. 0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:24.120 And I think something that was very shocking, I think 0:25:24.200 --> 0:25:27.359 for all things Cowboys was the lack of penalties this 0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:30.760 game from the Cowboys. And I will beat a dead 0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:33.960 horse with us every week. Something that I've been saying 0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:35.680 every week because I don't want to see them have 0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:38.359 penalties during a game, those pre snap penalties that are 0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:41.560 shooting themselves in the foot. It was really the Commanders 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:43.560 on the other side of the ball that gave up 0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:47.879 two potential interceptions that were really big, I would say, And. 0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:50.879 Then that first time changed the game. It did, and 0:25:50.920 --> 0:25:53.480 that was in the second quarter, yep. 0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:57.520 And yeah, it was negated by an illegal contact and 0:25:57.600 --> 0:25:59.920 it gave the Cowboys a first down on their own 0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:03.080 thirty three. So instead of Washington having the ball, and 0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:06.200 remember Washington had just taken the lead, and the momentum 0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:08.600 was definitely with the Commanders at that point, and they 0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:11.119 should have had the ball, and that was that was 0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:12.280 a huge play. 0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:15.840 And something that I think going back to watch, you know, 0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.879 more of the game was somebody that I think was 0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:22.840 kind of a little unspoken hero when it comes to 0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:26.600 the Commander's penalties was Leyton Vanderush. He was really getting 0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:29.199 those offside penalties going. He was the one that was 0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:31.680 like getting them to move a little bit. He was 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.560 getting a lot of those offside penalties going, which yeah, 0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:38.119 Leyden vandersh good for him. I mean, hey, whatever if 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:39.720 it's not the Cowboys getting the penalties. 0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:40.120 That's fine. 0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:43.400 They only had four for twenty yards. The Commanders had 0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:45.879 eleven penalties for one hundred and thirty six yards, and 0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:48.359 I believe, let me see, within their first three games, 0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:52.320 they had twelve total penalties with their first three games. 0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:54.760 So the Cowboys just racked up the penalties for the 0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:58.120 Commanders and really, you look back and that that cost 0:26:58.119 --> 0:26:59.840 them the game. The Commanders were fighting for it for 0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:02.080 a little while there. Penalties will do that to you. 0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:05.040 And Michael Gallup drawing a couple of those, yeah, yeah, 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:07.560 just go for it hand, no talk about I was 0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:10.800 just going to say a guy who really helped in 0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:12.159 that cause was Michael Gallup. 0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:14.400 You know his stats to catch his twenty four yards 0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:16.320 and that touchdown. Obviously those are huge for a guy 0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:20.240 who's coming back from injury. But I think the more 0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:22.960 impressive thing he did was draw those penalties and help 0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:25.560 with the poor field positioning that the Cowboys had to 0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:27.879 deal with. So I think he's another example of a 0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:30.400 guy we touched on MICHAEH. Parsons earlier. And obviously Mike 0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:32.239 has had two games where he hasn't really lit up 0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:34.440 the stat sheet. Like we talked about the first couple 0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:37.199 of weeks. I think this is a similar example of 0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:39.280 that with Gallup, where you know, maybe he didn't have 0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:41.040 all the catches in the world or all the yardage 0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:44.280 in the world, but his play off the ball really 0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:46.760 helped elevate the Cowboys offense and put them in really 0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:48.840 good positions to ultimately win. 0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:51.000 Yeah, and then I mean we've been talking about it 0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:52.119 for the last couple of weeks. 0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:54.440 Now just there's a vertical threat. 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:56.320 Now you got you know, you got a guy that 0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:58.720 can push it down the field. So Cooper Russia is 0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:00.960 seeing more single high not that you know that too 0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.200 high show, because hey, there's a threat of a deep 0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:06.040 threat also these guys. I think it was so important 0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:09.240 to me that the Cowboys at least because the run 0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:12.040 game was sporadic yesterday, to say the least, right, I 0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:12.840 mean like, oh. 0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:14.119 Well, how do you feel about it? I felt like 0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:15.160 it had a purpose. 0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:20.200 The run game was dutiful, yes, because what it did 0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:21.760 was it set up action. 0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:22.919 And that's what I was getting to. 0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:25.800 I think last year you saw a lot is that 0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:28.400 teams did not believe you could run the ball. They 0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:31.280 did not care if they weren't even loading the boxes. 0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.520 They were just dropping six to seven in coverage, right. 0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:36.200 And now that the Cowboys have shown in this last 0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:39.680 couple of weeks, we will run the ball and honestly, 0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:41.880 they honestly will run it until they see success in 0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:43.480 certain areas. I don't agree with the A and B 0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:46.680 gap stuff, but do what you do, and I think 0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:49.760 it really if you do it enough, yeah, they're gonna 0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:52.040 like those linebackers aren't gonna be sure if you're gonna 0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:54.360 run the ball here or not. And play action is 0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:57.720 something that Cooper Rush is really thriving on right now. 0:28:57.720 --> 0:28:59.160 I think he's number one in the league with the 0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:01.720 play action passes. And when you start talking about kind 0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:04.240 of what the Cowboys are trying to do with starting 0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:07.080 to establish the run game and trying to methodically move this, 0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:09.520 you know, move the change, I think that play action 0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:11.280 is going to be a big part of this offense 0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:14.320 moving forward. And I'm excited to see them getting the 0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:16.840 deep shots down the field to get guys to hey, 0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:17.560 pump your brakes. 0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:19.160 Hey listen, you can't. 0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:22.160 Key in on everything intermediate respect what we have on 0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:23.720 the back on the back of this offense. 0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:27.200 Yeah, here's here's the thing Ritzy and Wiley. I guess 0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:31.520 that's Wiley Texas. Can you explain more about play action pass? 0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:33.320 So oh somebody said that? 0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:35.680 Yes, So what's no? 0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:38.719 Because you know, I think that we need to please 0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:41.600 let us know when when there are terms tossed around, yeah, 0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:44.560 and we're not we're not quite sure what's going on. 0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:46.720 You know, when we would do the Cowboys one oh 0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:49.880 one for women, Babel Offenberg, my Cowboys radio colleague, and 0:29:49.920 --> 0:29:52.680 I did it for years and years, and so I 0:29:52.680 --> 0:29:56.360 think sometimes, especially uh women who didn't grow up playing 0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:58.200 the game, and you kind of hear these terms, you're 0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:00.479 not quite sure what they mean, and sometime it can 0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:05.560 be intimidating because you're nickel dying. Yeah yeah, rpo, What 0:30:05.600 --> 0:30:06.400 does all this mean? 0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:07.160 Please? 0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:12.120 I tell the ladies football was invented by men. It's 0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.720 not that complicated. We can figure it out half the time. 0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:16.400 Okay, okay, okay. 0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:19.600 So a play action pass, what that simply means is 0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:22.400 the quarterback is pretending to hand off the ball. He's 0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:25.520 faking the handoff and then going to throw. It is 0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:28.720 a pass play, but you're faking the run. Well why 0:30:28.840 --> 0:30:32.440 is that important? Well, because as Ayisha mentioned you're trying 0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:36.560 to get those linebackers to commit because oftentimes you're trying 0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:39.280 to throw the ball over the top of the linebackers. 0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:42.120 So even if it's just the slightest hesitation that they 0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:44.719 have to respect the run for just that long, it 0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:47.640 gives you that much room to go over their heads. 0:30:47.960 --> 0:30:51.200 It also can slow up the pass rush as well, 0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:54.040 because the defensive linemen or the pass rushers who are 0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:56.320 coming after you as a quarterback and trying to take 0:30:56.360 --> 0:30:58.959 your head off, you know, they have to pause for 0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:01.240 just a second because did he hand the ball off? 0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:02.760 Do we need to tackle the running back or. 0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:05.000 Do we need to keep going after the quarterback. So 0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:08.960 the importance of staying committed to the run. Even though 0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:13.520 the Cowboys averaged barely over two yards to carry yesterday. 0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:16.920 You still have to do it. It's like boxing. Get 0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:19.360 jib jab jab jab jam and. 0:31:19.760 --> 0:31:24.320 I'm with the Haymaker. So by staying committed to the run, 0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:27.640 it makes the play action work because they have to 0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:31.760 respect that you may be handing the ball off absolutely yeah. 0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:35.000 Well, and also I think somebody, and not to change 0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:37.640 the subject from the run, but somebody that we haven't mentioned, 0:31:37.640 --> 0:31:41.200 Ceedee Lamb Wide receiver one had himself a pretty good game, 0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:45.120 specifically in the in Cowboys, like, Oh, my goodness, the 0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:47.880 Dallas Cowboys third drive of the game. I'm just so 0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:52.600 excited to talk about CD. It was three passes, three 0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:56.640 consecutive passes to CD. Beautiful. Within those three catches that 0:31:56.680 --> 0:31:58.880 he made, he had fifty three yards racked up. That 0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:02.000 is incredible. And for the fact that when I go 0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:05.040 back to my notes, I'm looking past to CD twenty 0:32:05.040 --> 0:32:08.680 three yards good throw by Rush. The ball was perfectly thrown, 0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:11.080 perfectly placed for that catch, and then you saw that 0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:13.240 two more times after that. That was beautiful. And I 0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:17.320 think something that's been very important is to see CD 0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:19.880 really connecting with Cooper Rush and the duration that he's 0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:21.680 going to be in his starting quarterback because you see 0:32:21.680 --> 0:32:23.880 that with Noah Brown and Cooper Rush, right, but I 0:32:23.880 --> 0:32:26.360 don't necessarily see we think that we've seen the same 0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:30.200 amount of chemistry really with Cooper Rush and CD. But 0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:34.240 that drive really had me questioning. I said, oh man, 0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:37.800 that is great chemistry, great awareness by CD to know 0:32:37.920 --> 0:32:40.000 exactly where the ball was going to be placed. Just 0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:44.600 absolutely beautiful for everything, and something that I noted here 0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:48.640 on that third pass that he caught. Jason Peters was 0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:51.800 in there, and so Jason Peters another unspoken hero. 0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:52.560 There we go. 0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:54.960 See we had them both in there, another unspoken hero 0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:58.040 of the game that I think just continues to make 0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:00.240 an impact whether whether we see it or or not. 0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:03.200 And I mean that within the locker room. And I 0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:07.160 think Tyler Smith continues to get better every week. I mean, man, 0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:11.000 there wasn't a lot to really say that was negative 0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:13.560 in terms of penalties, going back to the original thing 0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:15.600 we're talking about in terms of penalties for the Cowboys, 0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:18.440 which enjoyed that this week. That made my victory Monday 0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:20.200 even better than I'll have to talk about penalties for 0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:21.800 the Cowboys no penalties. 0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:24.560 Yeah, it's interesting when we talk about this offense over 0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:26.880 the last couple of weeks, the way the conversation has 0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:29.720 shifted from DA's out, what are we going to do? 0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:32.520 To Okay, Cooper Rushan come in to win a game, 0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:34.760 but we'll see what he can do next week, to 0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:38.120 now the conversation is just the consistency that he provides. 0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:41.400 We talk about the defense being consistent to win games, 0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:43.840 but I think that's the way every single person in 0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:46.880 that locker room, the way Mike McCarthy, even Jerry Jones 0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:49.480 after the game. That's how he describes Cooper Rush is 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:51.640 that consistency. He's not gonna be a guy who's gonna 0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:53.560 go out and be flashy. He's not your game manager, 0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:55.000 as Mike McCarthy told us earlier. 0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:56.040 But this is a guy. 0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:59.280 Who's earned the respect from his teammates just solely by 0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:02.440 the way he conducts himself in that backup quarterback role. 0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:03.920 So it's just been interesting to see. 0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:07.800 I think every single week his stats have pretty much 0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:08.359 been the same. 0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:09.359 There's not a whole lot. 0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:11.839 You know, he's throwing about thirty passes a game, he's 0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:14.520 tossing about two hundred plus yards a game, and he's 0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:17.600 averaging about a touchdown in a half. So it always 0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:21.120 feels good to have that in your arsenal for your 0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:21.880 backup quarterback. 0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:23.040 And he just puts together. 0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:25.640 It's it's so crazy because you'll look at the offense 0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:27.720 and you like three and now three and now whatever, 0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:28.160 and you'd. 0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:29.120 Be like, what is going on? 0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:31.520 And then he comes out there and they put together 0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:34.960 a real drive and then yeah, like the fourth quarter. 0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:37.239 In the Monday night, It's New York said, are you 0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:37.760 a gamer? 0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:41.359 Are you a gamer, because it's it's like it's night 0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:43.959 and day in some instances where they're just like, let's 0:34:44.000 --> 0:34:46.640 go score right now, and they're not denied with the 0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:49.120 seedy Lamb, you know, comming that you may talk about him, 0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:51.040 I think it's important that we see that he gets 0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:53.720 in a rhythm early in the game. So it seems 0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:55.440 like he's that type of player that needs to get 0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:57.600 touches early. He doesn't even have to be anything fancy. 0:34:57.719 --> 0:34:59.840 Just get the ball in his hands, let him feel 0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.160 the ball, get a feel for how the game is, 0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:03.759 and then from there let's get going with them. 0:35:04.640 --> 0:35:05.200 I'm excited. 0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:07.560 Why you laughing? No, just just because that that. 0:35:07.840 --> 0:35:09.640 I think it was the first play at the fourth quarter, 0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:12.960 his thirty yard touchdown catch. That is the easiest touchdown 0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:15.719 catch you'll ever see for CD Lamb because normally his 0:35:15.920 --> 0:35:18.680 or like the contested catches or falling backwards in the 0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:21.879 end zone and you know all that crazy stuff. Yeah, 0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:25.560 just a post route and the guy took the outside. 0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:28.759 What's a post route? Oh, ladies, this is really you 0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:31.000 know a post route. Guess where you run on a 0:35:31.000 --> 0:35:32.839 post route? You go up and then you cut towards 0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:38.120 the goalpost. All right, So but man, I know he's 0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:40.839 like he couldn't believe that there was nobody around him. 0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:42.160 You know, I couldn't believe. 0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:44.640 There was nobody around him. It was wide open. It's 0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:45.479 like they wanted CD. 0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:48.840 But that's Cooper Rush looking at it. You know, you 0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:51.279 look middle left and then you come back to your 0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:51.839 guy right. 0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:52.440 So you've got it. 0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:53.760 You've got to pull the safeties. 0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:57.200 You've got to keep the coverage away so that CD 0:35:57.360 --> 0:36:00.439 can work the one on one and look away. Keep 0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:03.200 that safety over there, and it's by the time he reacts, 0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:05.040 it's too late for him to get back and defend 0:36:05.040 --> 0:36:05.440 the past. 0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:09.560 Yes, ceedee lamb his second touchdown of the season. We 0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:11.560 are going to take another quick break, but we'll be 0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:13.600 back to talk more on this victory Monday about the 0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:17.680 Dallas Cowboys.

I wait for pumpkin. My nephew's birthday is Matthew. 0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:08.080 His birthday is Halloween, and until he was like nine 0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:10.960 years old, he thought that everyone dressed up and everyone 0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:12.399 handed out candy because it. 0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:13.200 Was his birthday. 0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:15.719 But it was, it was.

I think 0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:34.880 that's an incredible stat given, you know, the injuries that 0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:38.719 they've dealt with over the last meetings with those divisional opponents. 0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:41.840 And as we switched back, we just talked about the offense, 0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:43.920 we talked about the defense. What else has been clicking 0:39:43.920 --> 0:39:46.480 for this team as they had into a break from 0:39:46.560 --> 0:39:48.719 n c NFC East. 0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:52.359 Play what I guess, I mean, obviously the d line 0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:56.360 play is clicking. I think that they're they're still You 0:39:56.360 --> 0:39:58.120 can tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm looking at 0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:01.440 how dan Quinn does like his rotations. There's so many 0:40:01.600 --> 0:40:05.480 you know, sub packages and stuff, and the multiplicity of 0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:07.880 this team is just continuing to show. It just continues, 0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:10.959 like these guys come out. Dante Fowler is a guy 0:40:11.080 --> 0:40:13.120 that I think, you know, I don't think he was 0:40:13.160 --> 0:40:16.719 an underrated free agent signing, but his snaps have you know, 0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:19.920 slowly but surely increased, you know, and he's impact in 0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:23.120 the game. But then also as far as the run defense, 0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:25.279 is there any concern for you guys, how do you 0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:28.160 guys feel about how they have defended the run, because 0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:32.640 yesterday I felt like they definitely improved in the second half. 0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:34.719 You could see that dan Quinn made it a point 0:40:34.719 --> 0:40:37.000 to shore up what was going on on that left side. 0:40:37.000 --> 0:40:39.560 You could tell that, you know, the commanders were going 0:40:39.640 --> 0:40:40.320 at that spot. 0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:42.560 What did you see, Chris, Yeah, I think one of 0:40:42.560 --> 0:40:46.520 their points of emphasis last week was in terms of containment, 0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:50.280 because where they got hurt on Monday was was Daniel Jones, 0:40:50.360 --> 0:40:55.120 the Giants quarterback who got most the running yards. I mean, 0:40:55.160 --> 0:40:58.279 he just killed the defense in that way, and so 0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:00.920 that was one of their big points of them assist yesterday. 0:41:00.960 --> 0:41:03.280 Now Wentz was under so much harassment. 0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:05.799 Wentz has some You know, he's athletic too, he can 0:41:05.840 --> 0:41:10.360 move around. Those two intentional grounding penalties were real killers 0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:16.319 for Washington yesterday. But I know that coach McCarthy said 0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:20.040 earlier today that Quenton Bohanna should be fine, but that 0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:23.759 big body defensive tackle. Defensive tackles are the ones that 0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:25.880 are in the middle of the defensive line. Those are 0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:28.920 the guys who are the human speed bumps. Okay, you know, 0:41:29.160 --> 0:41:31.720 don't let any We had a guy back in the nineties, 0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:34.319 his name was John Nicks. He was as wide as 0:41:34.320 --> 0:41:36.920 he was tall, and they called him a trash can 0:41:37.000 --> 0:41:39.759 full of dirt because you just weren't able to move him. 0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:43.000 So so I'm hopeful that Bohanna is able to get 0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:47.040 all of his work this week, all of his practice reps, 0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:49.440 and be good to go in LA because we need 0:41:49.480 --> 0:41:51.080 those stout guys in the middle of the line. 0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:51.640 OSA. 0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:55.400 I think he doesn't get mentioned a lot, but I 0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:57.840 thought he had another strong game. You're talking about the 0:41:57.840 --> 0:42:01.879 defensive line. I know that DeMarcus lawrencey didn't register any 0:42:01.920 --> 0:42:06.120 sach yesterday and all those pressures pressure, it's just he's 0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:08.920 he's the war daddy. Yeah, and that, to use Jerry 0:42:09.000 --> 0:42:13.320 Jones's term, he's he's really the heart of the leader 0:42:13.360 --> 0:42:16.280 of the defense, really the heart of the defense. Donovan Wilson. 0:42:16.480 --> 0:42:19.040 I know we're talking about defensive line, but he's the 0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:22.000 thumper in the secondary and delivering the hard hits and 0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:25.120 a really strong game. There were so many tackles for 0:42:25.200 --> 0:42:28.080 loss yesterday, particularly in the third quarter. 0:42:29.239 --> 0:42:30.600 I've got TFLs. 0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:33.080 I just make little notes, and so if it says 0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:36.520 TfL that means tackle for loss. And in the first 0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:40.279 three series two for Washington on offense won by the Cowboys. 0:42:40.320 --> 0:42:43.440 I have one, two, three, four, I have six TFLs 0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:48.920 written in my notes and so, which means tackling behind 0:42:48.920 --> 0:42:53.680 the line of scrimmage. And Donovan Wilson had one of those. 0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:57.160 Malie Cooker had one, and so so get put in 0:42:57.200 --> 0:43:00.440 the other team in the long down and distances. Key. 0:43:00.840 --> 0:43:03.600 Something I wanted to ask you, ladies, And it's only 0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:06.120 because I missed the game that I hate when I 0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:07.799 have to miss a Cowboys game. I mean, I went 0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:10.319 back and I watched it, but I went back and 0:43:10.360 --> 0:43:13.800 looked at Cowboys Twitter what was going on, and something 0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:17.279 that was being questioned was the game management when it 0:43:17.280 --> 0:43:19.880 came to fourth downs for this game and Mike McCarthy 0:43:19.920 --> 0:43:23.719 deciding to for goo the you know, the fourth down 0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:28.640 attempt in the second quarter and then again, let's see 0:43:28.680 --> 0:43:30.799 it was the Cowboys third drive and then in the 0:43:30.800 --> 0:43:33.480 Cowboys twelfth drive of the game, And so I just 0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:37.600 wanted to ask. Obviously, we know they trust the defense. 0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:39.880 We know the identity of this team is the defense. 0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:43.000 We just said that, but what is y'all's opinion really 0:43:43.040 --> 0:43:45.839 when it comes to not going for the fourth down? 0:43:45.920 --> 0:43:48.560 Especially this one was a fourth and one over here? 0:43:48.600 --> 0:43:52.160 I believe this was in the fourth quarter, and so 0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:55.719 what really is y'all's opinion on that not going for 0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:59.160 the fourth and one? You know, when I think they 0:43:59.200 --> 0:44:01.600 were on a roll at that point to make it. 0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:03.760 It could have been another three and out series. Field 0:44:03.800 --> 0:44:07.000 position wouldn't have been an issue. But game management wise, 0:44:07.040 --> 0:44:09.799 how do you think Mike McCarthy has been doing with 0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:13.840 those decisions? And I know he's gotten scrutiny in the past, 0:44:14.000 --> 0:44:16.799 you know, a couple of seasons, but I personally don't 0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:19.080 think he's doing a bad job with it. But I 0:44:19.120 --> 0:44:21.160 just wanted opinions here to open up the table to 0:44:21.160 --> 0:44:23.120 get Cowboys Twitter back on the right track. 0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:26.120 Do you want to take it first out? 0:44:26.520 --> 0:44:26.839 Go ahead. 0:44:27.280 --> 0:44:29.080 I don't have any questions from yesterday. 0:44:29.600 --> 0:44:32.560 I would say that to almost two and a half 0:44:32.600 --> 0:44:35.680 seasons in the thing with Mike McCarthy would be being 0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:38.560 too aggressive and going for it too much on fourth down. 0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:43.000 So I had no questions about yesterday. The other thing 0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:46.320 is you were talking about Hayley, you were asking things 0:44:46.320 --> 0:44:49.520 that really stand out. When Bret Maher is four for 0:44:49.600 --> 0:44:52.040 four on field goals and he's what ten of eleven 0:44:52.160 --> 0:44:55.240 or eleven to twelve so far? Yeah, ten of eleven. 0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:57.920 I mean, there's just no question about it. 0:44:58.120 --> 0:44:58.640 Money mah. 0:44:59.200 --> 0:45:02.200 And then Brian Anger the way that now I know 0:45:02.280 --> 0:45:07.760 he had, the the way that the defense was able 0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:11.320 to you know, they're at their own thirty yard line 0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:13.880 and they keep Washington off the board, not even a 0:45:13.920 --> 0:45:17.600 field goal, much less a touchdown. What a standout series 0:45:17.640 --> 0:45:20.600 that was for the Cowboys defense. But Brian Anger has 0:45:20.640 --> 0:45:26.239 been money. Yeah for both And so other than that 0:45:26.320 --> 0:45:28.680 one shank which was such a surprise. 0:45:28.400 --> 0:45:30.360 And I don't think we'll see that again from Brian Ainger, 0:45:30.520 --> 0:45:33.120 that was I think, you know, Michael Parsons said, it 0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:35.840 best last week of If you see something happen in 0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:37.600 the game, you're probably not going to see it the 0:45:37.640 --> 0:45:39.400 next I think you just look at it. It was 0:45:39.400 --> 0:45:42.480 almost the ball placement. It just I don't think it's just. 0:45:42.440 --> 0:45:44.480 A little high. It almost went off his ankle. It 0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:45.960 was just probably the drop. 0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:49.839 Usually if you see something like that, it's outdoors, it's 0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:52.399 really windy conditions. And I know that sounds silly because 0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:55.080 you're only dropping the ball just a couple feet, you know, 0:45:55.160 --> 0:45:57.839 from you know, from your waist to. 0:45:58.040 --> 0:45:59.239 Where your foot strikes it. 0:45:59.280 --> 0:46:01.719 But sometimes the win can affect a drop that had 0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:02.960 nothing to do with yesterday. 0:46:03.000 --> 0:46:04.520 It was just a mishit. 0:46:04.719 --> 0:46:07.680 Nah, No, Christy makes a good point. I mean your 0:46:07.680 --> 0:46:11.160 field goal kickers. Yeah, he kind of looking a little automatic. 0:46:11.239 --> 0:46:12.960 I'm not gonna talk a whole bunch of mot I mean, like, 0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:17.440 I don't personally know if it's a lot of jinks. 0:46:17.480 --> 0:46:18.879 And when you look at Kickers, a lot of its 0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:22.200 confidence and the locker room is showing great confidence in him. 0:46:22.239 --> 0:46:25.239 I think Mike McCarthy showed great confidence in him yesterday 0:46:25.320 --> 0:46:28.480 and people getting behind him is what's going to continue 0:46:28.520 --> 0:46:31.040 to feel him playing well. And it looks like you're 0:46:31.080 --> 0:46:32.879 gonna need him for a little bit, you know, as 0:46:32.920 --> 0:46:35.320 your offense continues to progress. But I also want to, 0:46:36.080 --> 0:46:38.319 you know, let everybody know, take a second and go. 0:46:38.239 --> 0:46:39.560 Look across the NFL. 0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:43.160 People aren't just putting up thirty every game right now. 0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:46.799 This is a very progressive thing right now with preseason 0:46:46.880 --> 0:46:49.000 being changed the way that it was. So you're I 0:46:49.040 --> 0:46:51.600 think we'll start seeing offenses start to get in a 0:46:51.680 --> 0:46:54.719 rhythm here in this next few weeks or whatever. But yo, 0:46:54.920 --> 0:46:58.040 like your offense, your offense is still finding this way. 0:46:58.160 --> 0:47:00.200 A lot of teams are still finding their way right now. 0:47:00.280 --> 0:47:01.759 Let's just be patient to see what we got. 0:47:01.880 --> 0:47:03.560 Yeah, I just feel like if it ain't broke, don't 0:47:03.600 --> 0:47:03.960 fix it. 0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:06.000 Right And when you got a I like money Mayer 0:47:06.040 --> 0:47:08.600 who has been hitting so well at Chrissy mentioned ten 0:47:08.640 --> 0:47:11.480 of eleven, are you going to take the easy points 0:47:11.840 --> 0:47:13.720 or maybe chance it on fourth and one. 0:47:13.600 --> 0:47:16.000 And possibly get closer to the easy points? 0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:17.799 Yeah, because that that D line. 0:47:17.960 --> 0:47:19.640 We didn't talk about it a whole bunch, But don't 0:47:19.640 --> 0:47:20.800 sleep on pain and Allen. 0:47:21.200 --> 0:47:24.520 They gave. They were tremendous. They they were tremendous. 0:47:24.560 --> 0:47:26.719 I saw I was watching the game again yesterday, I 0:47:26.760 --> 0:47:29.480 see ninety four chasing after Tony Pollard, I said, what 0:47:29.640 --> 0:47:29.800 is this? 0:47:30.600 --> 0:47:32.320 Well, they did tackle. 0:47:32.680 --> 0:47:34.719 And having the two of them side by side. 0:47:34.719 --> 0:47:36.880 Now it's going to be a chore this coming Sunday 0:47:36.920 --> 0:47:39.919 against Aaron Donald. But to have two first round picks 0:47:39.920 --> 0:47:44.400 its back years Alabama. They were outstanding and like I said, 0:47:44.600 --> 0:47:46.719 that was beating your head against a wall for Zeke 0:47:46.760 --> 0:47:49.680 and Pollard yesterday. But credit to Kellen Moore for keeping 0:47:49.840 --> 0:47:53.080 keeping with it, softening them up and setting up play action. 0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:56.600 Absolutely credit to this Dallas team for picking up their 0:47:56.640 --> 0:47:57.480 third straight win. 0:47:57.520 --> 0:47:59.719 They are now three and one on the season and 0:47:59.719 --> 0:48:01.919 they face the Rams next week. 0:48:01.960 --> 0:48:03.799 We will break it down even more on Girls Talk, 0:48:03.840 --> 0:48:05.880 Boys Talk coming up tomorrow, but that'll do it for 0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:09.440 us today. For Aisha, Christy and Jess, I'm Haley Sutton 0:48:09.480 --> 0:48:10.560 and we will see you next time. 0:48:11.480 --> 0:48:14.480 This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 0:48:14.640 --> 0:48:17.600 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
