Did you 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:53.840 have a great day Thanksgiving Day? 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.360 Well, oh yeah, it's special. 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.200 It doesn't matter who the opponent is, it doesn't matter 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.520 the records of the teams going in. There is always 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.959 a special vibe for a Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game, even 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.720 back at Texas Stadium. And I don't remember the Cotton 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:13.400 Bowl days, but there's something special. And so when the 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.120 schedule comes out, if you only get to come to 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.640 one game a year, and if it's not you know, 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.640 maybe you want to see the Eagles, or maybe there's 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.440 an AFC team coming that you want to particularly see that, 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.280 But if not, I recommend Thanksgiving just because there is 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.800 something special to it and you could feel it on Thursday. 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.840 I agree that actually asking like, how y'all's Thanksgiving was? 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.600 Oh, like, well, families, Oh, I was not with my family. 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:37.319 I was at the game. 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:38.040 Yeah. 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:39.720 I was at the game, and this is my first 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.920 Thanksgiving game sitting in the stands. I was actually working 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.839 this one, and I can confirm what Christy is saying. 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.920 The vibe was different. Everyone was in a good mood 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.120 and there was a lot of Cowboys fans there, so 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.200 that really helped. The vibes were high. 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.080 Cowboys fans were doing their best a. 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.320 Not cheering when the offense was on the field. It 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:57.720 was good. 0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:58.280 It was fun. 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:00.400 The food was bombed by the way. 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.480 I did a great job. 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:06.600 I actually ate before though. My mom cooked Magga. 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:08.400 Cheese that sounds. 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.919 Good, some corn bread dress, and some greeny. She made 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.360 it all and I ate it before. But then I 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:13.519 also ate at the stadium. 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.720 Yeah that's what Thanksgiving for. 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.520 Jazz and I went to the game and we ate 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.880 at the tailgate before I had a host of tailgate. 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.200 So she went with me to the tailgate and they 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.480 had the best barbecue. And I really need to go 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.480 back and look at where this was because it was local. 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.560 Oh my god, it was so good. Her and I 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.040 just kept talking about that good barbecue. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.680 So if that makes you feel any better, we had barbecue, 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.320 and then we went into the game and eight more. 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:36.960 I love that for you. Yeah, it was great. 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:37.800 What about you, Ayesha? 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.840 I attended a and took part in a pot look 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:52.680 for another job, and I didn't get any of my 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:53.919 family's cooking this year. 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.720 So I am so glad, y'all did. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:00.880 I'm glad I can cook because I'm just gonna cook 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:01.639 for myself. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.919 And somebody want to cringy no plate, no nothing.

Obviously a lot of excitement following that win. 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.320 The guys in the locker room in different spirits. We 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.400 love to see that. What did y'all learn from this win? 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.640 And whoever you guys can chime in, however you all. 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.480 Well, I just that the defense is really coming together 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:44.000 and that de Marveion Overshown continues to show that he 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.279 can be a real catalytic player. I think the defense 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:52.400 overall playing well. And Rico Dowdle, you know, I think 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.320 had his best game arguably as a Cowboy, And so 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.120 it's so important when you go into what is essentially 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.719 a mini buy, when you have that rest after Thanksgiving, 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.200 to go in on a high note. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.320 Because we had more injuries. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:08.880 I know, we'll talk about that, but a couple of 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:13.440 very serious injuries from the game Thursday, And so if 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.640 you had not gotten the win, if you weren't going 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.480 in on a high note, and you had those injuries, 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.480 that would have carried over in a negative way into 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.039 this week. But you still have the injury situations, but 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.799 at least everyone's feeling better going into the long weekend. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.919 Yeah, it makes me wonder, had the injury bug not 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.599 bit so hard this season, what you would be seeing 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.840 from this team because overall, even just seeing piece by 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.400 piece more of these players coming back and that giving 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.360 you more of a well rounded team, what this season 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.360 could have been like if it wasn't for injuries. 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.200 That's kind of what it made me think. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.000 Especially seeing Brandon Cooks come back, and it was so 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.800 nice to see the little harsher back in the end 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.960 zone and it was really fun to just watch him 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.039 create an atmosphere with the guys around him. And I 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.719 mean his presence is just so well known. I mean 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.359 I was watching the game back and first thing I 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.440 noticed is after every play, Brandon is the first one 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.120 to every guy to help them up, and just things 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.560 like that that you missed from a player like Brandon 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:24.560 Cooks and the experience Cooper Rush had instant trust in him, which, yeah, 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.960 it's Brandon Cooks. How could you not, But it just 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.320 really made me wonder what this team would have been 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.360 like this year if it was not for the injuries 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.960 that have occurred and, like Christy said, unfortunately continued to 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:38.960 occur on Thursday. 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.520 Yeah, that's that's kind of how I felt about it 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.240 as well. I mean, you know, obviously the injuries decimated 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.920 the defensive side of the ball, and to your point, 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.039 I think we are kind of getting to look see 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.599 at what it could have been, or you know, maybe 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.920 something to look forward to. But also too, it made 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.320 me consider that, you know, looking at a dan Quinn 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.440 system and looking at a Zommer system, they're different. They are, 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.120 I mean honestly from what they're being asthman. You have linebackers. 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.440 The things that the linebackers are doing, the things that 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:13.680 the safeties are doing. They this is a pretty big 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:17.720 change in system, and I guess like it didn't resonate 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.160 to me right away, like how different this might be 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.560 for the guys. So to your point, I do think 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.960 just like we are seeing what a healthy team would 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.360 look like, but also to we're seeing these guys understand 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.120 this system, and you also are seeing other guys elevate 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.160 their play, and that's why the system is working. 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.200 Because Zimmer system. 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.200 Has a very serious focus on the safety position and 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.840 the defensive tackle position. You're getting better defensive tackle play 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.240 from Amasi Smith, Watkins gets his few reps in there, 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.920 Like you're getting better to tackle play, and because of that, 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.600 it's allowing guys like Osa to be free. It's allowing 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.520 these guys to play, you know, and your linebackers are 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.560 more free. So you see it to Marrion over shown 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.320 just shooting the gap like that's also been because Limbal 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.680 Joseph or Mozzie Smith is taking on a double team 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:04.920 and he's able to slip through there. 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.680 So you're seeing the system and come into play too. 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.160 And to your point that the guys getting healthier are 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.400 a big part of that as well. So it's a 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.240 it's a little bittersweet. I agree, it's a little bittersweet, 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.560 but also but I am happy that the guys are 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.640 getting a feel for this system and understanding it. 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.840 We're gonna hear from Michael Parsons in the second segment 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.000 about that too, because he did address the fact that 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.640 these guys are feeling a little bit more comfortable, and 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.240 that's something that to go to your point with Mazzie Smith, Mike. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.920 Mike McCarthy had touched on it in the press conference 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.800 earlier and just said that he's starting to understand that 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:41.600 there's not much sexiness to this position and you have 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.560 to be an anchor for the defensive line. So I 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.000 love that you mentioned that as well. What I learned, dang, 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:47.880 I'm sick. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.240 Doesn't decide which season we're in. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.640 But you know what, I'm not sick of Oh my gosh, 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.080 I forgot it. 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:57.760 Here we go Cavant Turpin. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.120 Not sick of him. 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:00.959 Him all uh No. 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:02.520 I truly believe that. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.040 I mean, we've talked about it him. His confidence is 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:06.760 growing and you look. 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:07.440 At what he was able to do. 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.160 Caught four out of his five targets team high fifty 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:10.880 three yards. 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:12.480 His fifty three. 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.080 Percent target rate for the game is tied for the 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:15.920 third highest in a game. But you're seeing him get 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.600 also yak yardage. Remember one of the plays, it was 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.360 in the first quarter, first and ten and he goes 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.920 he gets the catch for sixteen yards, which would would have. 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.000 Been an eleven yard catch. 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.040 So you're starting to see him get a little bit 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.480 more confidence. And I really like that to see that 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:31.320 from and. 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.160 That catch you're referring to, that was one of those 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:37.160 like little shovel pass. Yes, so really an extended handoff. Yes, 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.600 it is a pass and counts as a passing statistic, 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.000 but you know, creative ways because before it was if 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.520 you if Cavante Turpin had his had the ball in 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.240 his hands in the on offense, it was a jet sweep. 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:55.240 Yeah, can we remember Can I ask you something, Chris, 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.440 I'm asking Yeah, I wanted to ask you. So in 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.600 regard to Cavante Turpin, we have been on banging the 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.360 table for since he's been here to give him more 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.040 receiving opportunities and to do some of the things that 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.640 they're starting to do. Have you ever seen a guy 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.040 on special teams be that intricate to maybe where they're like, 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.600 I don't know, because we've seen it in in kind 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.760 of like who's the main returner, who's not the main 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.160 returner and those type of things. But like even with 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.559 Rico last year, I remember being like, if he's getting 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:25.960 more snaps, why is he returning? 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:26.839 So is it? 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:28.920 Does that play it come into play? 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:30.600 And do you think that I had anything to do 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.920 with why it's taken a while for him to kind 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.720 of get his opportunity because he's such a weapon as 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:36.480 a returner. 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:37.440 That's the thing. 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:42.520 I the comparison doesn't hold in terms of body type 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.840 and style. But this is kind of how Miles Austin 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:55.199 began his career with the Cowboys. He was an undrafted guy. 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:55.079 Out and I know I used his heart just stop 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:55.320 to be. 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:05.440 I like, but Miles one here, Miles had trouble cracking 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:09.000 the you know, he was like fifth or sixth the 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.880 receiver and had trouble cracking time in terms of getting 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.960 reps in the offense because it was pretty stacked at 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.000 the time with the wide receiver room. Uh, that was 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.600 the days of Terall Owens and the like. I think 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.640 Roy Williams and Roy Williams not the safety but the 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.360 wide receiver they had traded for dround draft picks. For him. So, 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.880 but Miles was a big contributor on kickoff returns and 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.720 in fact had a kickoff return for a touchdown in 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:40.160 the playoff game at Seattle, the one the Cowboys lost. 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.080 That was one where the field goal attempt went through 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:44.120 Romo's fingers. 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.600 But what happened, but what happened with. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:53.400 Miles's career was the aforementioned Roy Williams got absolutely clocked 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.880 in a game against the Broncos and was missing some time. 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.440 And so the next week the Cowboys are playing at 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.560 Kansas City, Miles Austin finally gets a chance to be 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.400 an integral part of the offense and goes for over 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.080 two hundred yards and scores game winner in overtime. So 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:17.120 with Cavante, you know, just absolutely invaluable on special teams. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:21.360 You know what he can contribute there. But it's remember Cavante, Yeah, 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.680 it was a star at TCU, but as a returner, 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.320 not really as a as a receiver. So so he's 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.480 in terms of like I don't want to say football IQ, 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.960 but in terms of time, right, it's time on task 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.439 And so when you don't get all of that as 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.040 a wide receipt, you know you're more of a return 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.280 specialist guy. It just takes time in this league, and 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.920 especially at that position. So and I'm not just talking 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.840 about an undrafted guy who played in the USFL. I'm 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.440 talking about first round picks. 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:53.480 He played in Poland. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.880 Yeah, we played in Poland. 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.720 He played for the Yeah, he played for And he's 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:05.240 played mad nine different teams, you know, and anyway, but 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.880 that's what it reminds me of is I'm not saying 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.040 that Cavante is going to go on and have the 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.080 career as a receiver that Miles Austin had before his 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.800 hamstring injuries. But that's what that is what comes to 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.040 mind when you ask that question. 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.840 Yeah, I kind of say I caught up with Cavante 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.840 at one of the events I had to work before 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.960 the game. And keep in mind that's coming right off 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.560 of his return and touchdown. So I would just like 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.760 to say when it came time to introduce players, I 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.520 was like, I got her, don't you worry? And he 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.240 knew made him feel very w W wrestler esque the 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:45.800 way I introduced him. But anyways, all that time I 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.000 talked to him and I had asked him, you know, 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.200 did you see it? Like did you know as soon 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.559 as like you got back up from the fumble, and 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.200 he was like, it wasn't until after the spin move 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:57.920 that I saw the clear lane. 0:13:58.000 --> 0:13:59.439 And then I said, well. 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.800 Do you like see guys or like, how what is 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.040 your vision when you're when you're going through, because genuinely, 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.480 like you're going so fast, do you even see the guys? 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.360 And he's like, no, I just go I just see 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:11.040 the end zone. 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.400 And he's almost he almost described it as like tunnel 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.960 vision that he gets when he's returning the ball. So 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.600 that was interesting, and I asked him. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.960 I can't repeat exactly what he said, but I said, so. 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.080 The Giant's gonna kick to you this week, and long 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.000 story short, he said no, but it was a little 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:28.840 more animated than that. 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.040 You can't imagine. It was a deep. 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.280 No, why why would anyone kick you? 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.240 And the rest of the season, I mean, well, he 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.840 mostly may not get but the only way, the only 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.960 way would be really, we only have the cold weather game. Yeah, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.960 possibly in Carolina, but at Philadelphia, and that may be 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.480 it for the cold weather games. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.480 And he knew that though when when I kind of 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.880 laughed about it, he's like, no, not after that, I don't 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.040 I don't think it's gonna. 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:59.160 Happen tantrums when yeah, he doesn't get anything. 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.800 Now, he's very where that like, his chances are going 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.480 to be a little to your point, Christy, a little 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.560 more limited within the return game. So I also think 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.080 coaching is gonna involve that a little bit more in 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.640 the scheme, which is why you saw him more, I 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.400 guess involved in the offense overall. 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.000 I think for McCarthy it's more so finding that balance 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.360 of not overworking him too much, because when you're doing 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.000 so much on special teams as a returner, you. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:25.000 Kind of get a little gassed. 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.520 But if you ask Avante Turpin, you know, how much 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.000 do you want to play? As far as the offensive 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.080 side of the ball, He's like, I want to there 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:30.800 all the time. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:40.800 Plays No, there's an infectious energy to him. For infectious, 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:42.880 But you know the other thing is you have to 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.320 consider there's only one football and you've got a lot 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.400 of weapons that are involved. So when Jake Ferguson is 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.680 out for a couple of weeks, that kind of opens 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.440 things up for for other players. Possibly you have Brandon 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.800 Cooks coming back last week, so he's going to get 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.800 some of those targets, so h and and really the 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.960 NFL is all about matchups, and the NFL this game planning. 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:05.840 It's it's chess. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.960 If you move your pawn here and then a rook here, 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.040 it's all counter moves. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.840 So some weeks. 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.920 You're going to have better, more favorable matchups for Turpin 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.960 than others. And by the way, it's five different leagues 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.080 that he's played in the Fan Controlled Football League. We 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.320 all remember the Glacier Boys, the spring league that was 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:31.400 the Sea Lions. Ayisha mentioned Poland, so he played in Rotswath, 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.160 Poland for the Panthers. They their uniforms looked like the 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.760 Carolina Panthers. And then USFL of course for the New 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:44.160 Jersey Generals where he was the MVP, and then the NFL. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.320 Finally, Brandon Cooks is someone I think that Cavante Turpin 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:51.880 could benefit from. And I say that because Brandon Cooks 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.000 his frame is not the biggest frame. 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.320 But one thing I noticed about him and since the time. 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.280 He's been here, but even just throughout his career, is 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.080 how well he protects his body. He will shield himself 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.960 off even so in cerace, Tyler Lockett does the same. 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.080 And these guys have long have had longevity for those 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.480 reasons because they are smaller frame. People are looking for 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.160 you across the middle. So I think that to your 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.639 point earlier is like Brandon cooks and just Brandon cooks. 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.760 Someone like him being in the locker room could really 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.760 help Cavante Turpin develop. 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.040 Like you're talking about. 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.240 Christy, it's kind of like what in the beginning of 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.600 the season, what kind of like with Rico dowdle Ezekiel 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.840 Elliott and how they kind of bounce off of each other, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:35.320 but you're seeing Rico really start to blossom, Like we 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:40.680 like that over here, over here, rico'ddell has stopped going 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.280 up once again a season high and carries with twenty 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.560 two rushing yards one hundred and twelve longest run of 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.280 the year and twenty two yards his first rushing touchdown 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.600 of the year. What did y'all like from Rico Daldo? 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:53.840 I like, we have to talk about him every week 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:54.280 at this point. 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.920 Go you first, well, I like that he is finally 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.520 part of the one hundred yards rushing because gosh, it 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.919 was such a long time coming, and of course it 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:08.280 just gives you more confidence in him as you're starting 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.719 running back. It gives you know, I am sure, across 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:12.680 the board play callers more. 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.360 Confidence and calling plays that involve him. 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.800 It gives McCarthy more freedom to open up the playbook 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.960 a little bit now that you have a consistent running 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.640 back and you know it's one game, but one of many. 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.040 I feel like he can stack if the play calling allows. 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.560 I also really like his confidence and how he has 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:34.560 handled this entire situation starting from training camp and even 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:38.280 beyond that, because he has genuinely waited his turn. We 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.639 talked about this weekend week out, but the way Rico 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.719 has stayed patient really reminds me of his running style. 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.240 Because he's patient with it, he shifts and then he's off. 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.320 So it's kind of symbolic of how he runs the 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.400 ball to what his journey has been in football overall. 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:57.440 Because he was patient, he waited his turn, his number 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:01.000 was called, and he takes advantage of the opportunity as 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.840 he absolutely should. So very proud of Rico, very happy 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:04.320 to see it. 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.200 I just wish we would have seen it earlier. It's okay, 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:09.400 but better late than ever. 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.520 And you know what, on Thanksgiving perfect time to do it. 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:16.879 Thankful uh that anybody ever doubtled him because now I 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:21.440 have receipts, the bookmarks, the bookmarks on my Twitter. I'm 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.760 coming for y'all, coming for y'all. I have like two 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:29.119 years worth of bookmarks just ready to go. I was 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:30.159 waiting for this moment. 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:34.040 Guys, Jesus, we have no doubt. 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.720 Oh my god, It's like I'll sit on what is 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:40.080 going on right now? 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:49.200 It's like mid day TV? Is that read anyway? Anyway? Sorry, 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:53.400 We'll go down, y'all. Makes me so sick. She lost 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:54.640 her thought, Yeah I did. 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:59.200 I tweeted during this game is he was displaying a 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.200 lot of patience, And I agree with you. I think 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.440 we talk about the game slowing down for guys all 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.760 the time. It's definitely slowing down for him. You see 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:10.199 him reading what the defense is doing, Like you can 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.159 even see his eyes on film, like seeing him he 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:16.080 misdirects people sometimes with his eyes, like he's starting to 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.359 use some of those instincts to his benefit. And that's 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.080 why I think we were pounding on the table at 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:22.639 the beginning of the season. That's why the reps are 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.040 that important. You know, people just think running back is 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.600 just go out there and run. It's like, no, they 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:32.320 have assignments they're processing has to be on point, and 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.320 so we're starting to see that from him. 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:35.560 But a lot of this just starts with. 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.000 The offensive line and the movement that the offensive line 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.560 is getting. He's really taking advantage of how much this 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:44.240 interior is getting pushed off the line of scrimmage. 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:45.320 They're using different ways. 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.000 And I will say too, we've complained about the run 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.240 game a lot this season. This is one of the 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.679 few games I felt like they really stuck to it. 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:55.560 And it wasn't always pretty, you know, like there was 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:57.719 some negative plays, there were times that you didn't get 0:20:57.800 --> 0:20:59.520 much out of it, but they just stuck to it, 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:00.639 stuck to it, stuck to it. 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:02.960 And I think aside from the second. 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:05.680 Quarter fact whatever, yeah, that's fine. 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.920 But they stuck to it and they were they gave 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:09.560 him the carrier. 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:11.639 That kept the defense honest. But I think that a 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:12.800 lot of it also. 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:16.080 Too, is just keep you just keep doing it and 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:20.080 the opposing team's defense. It doesn't matter if you get 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.560 negative yards out of it or not. It's easier on them, 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:23.639 easier on them when. 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.440 You're passing the ball. Don't be easy on them. 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:27.760 Don't make it easy on them and sit back and 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:29.000 drop back all those times. 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:29.600 Run at them. 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:31.280 It's not always going to be positive, it's not always 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:33.840 gonna be pretty, but be physical and establish the line 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:35.840 of scrimmage. And I think that that's a part of 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:37.679 the reason why he's able to He's been able to 0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:39.920 find some success running the ball over his. 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.800 Last couple of weeks and yards after contact have. 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:45.800 He's bouncing off of people. 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:48.520 You see it, You see it, yeah, And when you're 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.200 at field level, that's because you can't see all the 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:54.400 you know, it's not the All twenty two coaches film 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.360 where you can see the holes opening. What you see 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:59.240 from that level is the yards after contact and to 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:01.520 your point, the offensive line. 0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:04.200 You know, off the ball, move and everything. 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:08.040 But but the other thing is there is an energy 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:10.840 when the run game is going for the offense right 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:14.760 that fires up the entire team, not just the offensive line, 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:17.120 fires up the entire team. 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:18.520 Because they know they don't have to carry the weight 0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:18.960 to the world. 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.040 But it also too, is a it's a temperament thing. 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:25.760 It's a it's a you're in your face like it's 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.239 my will is is greater than yours. It is And 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:30.159 that's what I was saying, Like there were spots in 0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:32.480 this game where the offensive line was moving those guys 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.240 off the ball so serious like and if your defense 0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:38.000 sees that, it's it's one of the few times that 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:39.359 you just see hat on hat. 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:42.400 I'm bigger than you, I'm stronger than you. 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:46.440 And we talked about brock Hoffman and those those young 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:48.919 guys on the interior, Tyler Smith as. 0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:51.400 Well, like those are their tone setting in that way. 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:52.960 So he's feeding off. 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:54.960 Of them, and you you softened them up. 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:56.960 And then in the fourth quarter and put most of 0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.600 the second half, they're the Giants are without dexter lawrence 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:03.480 for the dislocated elbow and without yes Roachests and so 0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:07.359 they were they were without some key guys. And that's 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:10.399 when because the running game is like boxing, it's jab 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:11.840 jab jab jab jab. 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.359 That's what a run game does. And then you get your. 0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:16.680 Well And also I thought, sorry, one more thing. 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:18.600 Sorry. 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:20.840 I also just feel like a lot of the guys 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:24.360 in that locker room were rooting for Rico to get 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:29.040 this opportunity. And so to see a lot all all guys, 0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:31.160 they were all rooting for Rico to be like, it's 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:34.520 your time, man. Like the amount of guys that you 0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:37.760 would hear passing by Ricos in the last two years 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:41.199 that we were around everything. You would just hear, you know, 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:44.240 after practice like hey, your time's coming, man, Hey, your 0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:47.959 time's up man. Like a lot of encouragement from his teammates. 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:50.360 So to your point, Christy about the energy being high 0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:52.760 in it, bringing more of that energy out, Yeah, they're 0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:56.639 seeing a guy that they saw sitting waiting for his turn, 0:23:56.880 --> 0:23:59.200 getting his opportunity, opportunity and. 0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:00.080 Doing the most with it. 0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:03.000 And when you have guys like Izzy, for example, who's 0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:06.040 a couple of lockers away from Rico, seeing that happen, 0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:08.240 why would it not inspire you to go out and 0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:10.239 play your best because look what happens when you do 0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:13.040 get that opportunity. So for me, I think Rico's just 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:15.640 it's truly been one of my favorite stories to follow 0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:18.560 the last couple of years, is to know that he 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:21.240 was ready and to see it come to Fruition this 0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:24.000 year and specifically in this game for one hundred yards 0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:25.520 doesn't seem like a big deal. 0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:27.560 It was really exciting to see for. 0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:29.439 Him, for sure, and you talk about the patience that 0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:32.439 he showed, but he was also making guys miss like 0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:36.760 that was something that I noticed shimming guys off. I mean, 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:39.240 and even with the offensive line, even when they would 0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:42.080 they would make mistakes and miss blocks, you still see 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:45.119 guys hustling downfield to make those blocks and open up 0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:48.359 those holes for Rico. So it was a true team 0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:50.720 effort when you talk about the offensive line and Rico 0:24:50.800 --> 0:24:52.360 Dad will having the success. 0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:54.440 That he was able to have. But all right, I 0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:55.159 saw you, Danson. 0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:56.680 So we're gonna take our first break. 0:24:57.280 --> 0:24:58.720 Next we're gonna talk about some defense. 0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:00.840 Michael Parsons is gonna We're going to hear from Michael 0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:04.639 Parsons about the improvement that this defensive line and defense 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:06.040 as a whole is making. 0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:07.720 Will be your back on more girls, dog boys talk. 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.480 Hey y'all, Matt Pittman of Meat Church here.

They had a season high tied a season 0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:35.879 high in sacks, just obviously feeling a little bit more 0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:39.520 comfortable in Mike Zimmer's scheme, and Michael Parsons was asked 0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:42.440 about it post game on how comfortable these guys. 0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:43.760 Are starting to feel. Let's go ahead and listen to 0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:43.960 what he. 0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:44.440 Had to say. 0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:47.200 Yeah, man, you know, I just you. I think it 0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:50.560 was a learning period. Everyone's to understanding new defense, a 0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:52.600 lot more creative and demanding how they want people to 0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:54.760 play the gap. So it was challenging a lot of 0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:57.280 interior guys to play new ways, the corners to play 0:28:57.320 --> 0:29:00.000 new ways. I think at this point everyone's comfortable. Everyone 0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:02.040 was locked in, you know, and you got to think 0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:04.240 as soon as we were trying to get comfortable injuries, there 0:29:04.280 --> 0:29:06.160 was like dang ning name, So you're telling you callt 0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:08.959 some guys up that was probably never going to get 0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:10.920 the opportunity, and they got to learn the system, and 0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:12.920 you know they was probably comfortable. Like I got Mike 0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:14.640 and d Loon from I'm probably you know, not gonna 0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:16.520 get much. It's like boom, it's right down in front 0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:18.360 of you. So it tells you always got to be prepared. 0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:21.080 You always got stay prepared. And I think at this 0:29:21.120 --> 0:29:22.960 point in the season that everyone's ready. 0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:25.640 Everyone's clearly ready. 0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:27.760 You look at what Michael Parsons is able to do 0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:30.840 six pressures on thirty six pass rushers, one and a 0:29:30.840 --> 0:29:32.480 half sacks to Marvin Overshown. 0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:35.560 Who I mean we just talk about the play alone, that. 0:29:35.560 --> 0:29:38.920 Interception in return for a pick six. I mean, all 0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:41.479 those guys are really just starting to gel and like 0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:43.760 I've already mentioned, feeling a little bit more comfortable. 0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:45.760 But when you talk about you were. 0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:49.920 Mentioning her earlier, just hearing him finally say that, you know, 0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:55.239 guys are stepping up, guys are feeling more comfortable. How 0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:57.600 have you started to see that translate each week? 0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:00.280 Well, they're getting the opportunities to rush the pass sir, 0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:05.320 which comes in handy obviously. But I think because because 0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:08.040 these guys have gotten more comfortable with the system, I 0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:11.240 think that's allowing Mike Zimmer to navigate and do some 0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:15.160 disguising on the back end and have some He's shifting 0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:16.160 front so. 0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:18.960 That shifts are just where like you see guys like 0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:20.800 raps for the snap, they kind of like crawl to. 0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:22.920 The other side, like it looks like they're crawling, but 0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:24.600 they're just stepping to the other side, trying to find 0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:29.840 favorable lanes, rush lanes, stress offensive lines. I think he's 0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:33.000 doing some things that he wasn't able to do before 0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:35.680 because he needed to know that these guys were gonna 0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:38.160 be in position and do their job. And I think 0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:40.720 he's gained some faith in them, and because of that, 0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:42.040 he's getting into his. 0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:42.760 Bag a little bit. 0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:45.160 He's and I know that Zimmer is starting to enjoy 0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:49.960 the usage of a marian over shown and things like that. 0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:52.680 I mean, like, I think a lot of it has to. 0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:56.760 Do with him trusting them more because because they clearly 0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:58.880 are picking up what they're they're trying to do. But 0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:01.200 I think they're also just find some things from a 0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:04.479 past Russian standpoint, which again they weren't able to do 0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:06.280 as much at the beginning of the season because people 0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:08.360 was just running on them. But now that they have 0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:10.600 kind of gotten better at stopping, like they're getting a 0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:12.800 little bit more solid to stop in the run, they're 0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:15.680 getting they're ironing the opportunity to rush the pass there 0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:19.160 and because of that it is helping the secondary and 0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:20.880 they're causing some turnovers as well. 0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:26.520 Yeah, I mean, what I underestimated to your point earlier 0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:29.680 I show was how different it would be for the 0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:32.000 guys in the locker room adjusting from a Dan Quinn 0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:32.600 to a Mic. 0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:37.240 Zimmer and temperament and all that stuff. That's like two. 0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:40.320 Completely different kinds of coaches here, and not not a 0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:42.320 not to either one. It's just you went kind of 0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:45.120 from night and day, from from one day to the 0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:48.760 next literally, And so for a lot of these guys, 0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:51.800 who you know, were younger when Dan came in, got 0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:54.520 used to that, And I personally think it's just taken 0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:58.240 time for everybody to adjust to each other while learning 0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:00.000 a new system, and that could be a lot in front. 0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:02.360 And then on top of that, you have injury after 0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:03.320 injury after century. 0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:04.960 So it's it's just. 0:32:05.040 --> 0:32:08.160 It's been never ending for the challenges that this defense 0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:11.239 has faced. On top of the fact that you know, 0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:14.040 you had guys, key, vital guys coming back from injury, 0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:16.200 even as early on as trading camp, Like you had 0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:18.640 Mazie that you know wasn't getting all of the reps 0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:22.040 in because of that shoulder surgery and rehab that he 0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:24.640 had early on, so he was on a late progression 0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:26.880 and then uh, it just kept coming and then you 0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:28.960 had a Tank out and then a Mica out, So 0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:33.000 you know, I'm sure Zim really had to adjust to 0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:37.160 what exactly he had. And with these younger guys, let's 0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:39.080 call it what it is. You don't know exactly what 0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:42.040 you have yet for some guys, and even like a Demo, 0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:43.880 we didn't know how he was going to come back 0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:45.840 in and look this season because he just came off 0:32:45.840 --> 0:32:48.640 of an ACL You wouldn't know now, but you didn't 0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:50.960 know at the beginning of the season. So for me, 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:55.080 I mean, it's just been a progression that I think 0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:58.040 in retrospect, when we look back on it makes sense 0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:00.360 that it has taken them this long into the season 0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:01.000 to figure it out. 0:33:01.400 --> 0:33:02.920 Given every single thing. 0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:06.240 That's stacked against them starting early on. So I really 0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:10.120 do applaud Zimmer's adjustments during this time, but I also 0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:13.280 applaud the locker room for continuing to have faith and 0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:16.520 just these wins, like we were talking about, especially starting 0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:18.840 to stack them back up just gives you that morale 0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:21.600 boost of you're doing it for a reason and you're 0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:24.560 not putting all of this work into learning and readjusting, 0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:27.959 and you know, playing for other guys and doing everything 0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:30.600 that they've had to do to overcompensate essentially from these 0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:34.520 injuries worth it. So I really applaud all of them 0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:36.440 and what they've had to do to get back. 0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:36.800 To this point. 0:33:36.920 --> 0:33:41.360 Yeah, confidence comes from demonstrated ability. That's the Bill parcellsism. 0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:44.800 But it's it's not just players themselves or players in 0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:47.680 zimmer system. As to what you guys are saying, it's 0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:52.120 Zimmer's confidence, the demonstrated ability of the players now you know, 0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:54.800 getting adjusted to it and playing better. 0:33:54.840 --> 0:33:56.200 But the way that. 0:33:56.400 --> 0:34:00.920 It's manifest itself to your original question, And Ayisha, the 0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:03.920 very last thing you said was turnovers, and that was 0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:10.319 the key Thursday because the two of the touchdowns, the 0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:13.400 obviously the demo interception returned for a touchdown. 0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:14.719 That's off of a takeaway. 0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:19.120 But the opening in the third quarter that the that 0:34:19.239 --> 0:34:22.600 was the Cooks TD that was a short field that 0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:28.520 was Eric Kendrick sack force fumble recovered by demon overshown. 0:34:28.960 --> 0:34:33.560 So so here's here's the thing. Fourteen points off of 0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:38.200 takeaways on Thursday. Why is that significant Because in all 0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:42.279 the games leading up to Thursday, the Cowboys had a 0:34:42.280 --> 0:34:47.960 grand total off of takeaways thirteen points. So you thirteen 0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:51.799 points coming into the game. Fourteen points on Thursday. 0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:52.760 Duh. 0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:56.680 Yeah, you know, football ain't hard, okay. And what's the 0:34:56.800 --> 0:35:01.120 number one statistic and determined a winner or loss? 0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:02.520 Now? Can you find a few? 0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:03.840 Can you put holds in this? 0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:07.920 Sure, you can always find examples, But it's turnover differential. 0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:12.680 Fourteen points on Thursday and you won by seven. 0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:15.040 Yeah, and that just gives you more confidence. 0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:17.480 I mean, everybody starts to play with a little bit 0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:18.000 more fire. 0:35:18.120 --> 0:35:20.399 The offense started to play a little bit better as well. 0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:22.839 So it's what's the word I'm looking for. 0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:23.239 It's a. 0:35:23.480 --> 0:35:23.840 It's a. 0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:26.080 It's a. It's a. Y'all got to help me with 0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:26.600 this world. 0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:30.360 It's like, uh, you know, like complimentary football. 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:33.399 Well, yeah, I was like, it's like a feeding off 0:35:33.440 --> 0:35:34.719 of each other frenzy. 0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:36.880 Yeah, that's tracking. 0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:40.800 Tracking, And I feel like there's a word word for it. 0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:43.520 I was thinking, but it just wasn't coming to you. 0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:48.120 Yeah, I'm infectious, And there it is. There, It is infectious. 0:35:47.600 --> 0:35:48.960 Because I think that was what I was looking for 0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:51.399 about help me. I'm like. 0:35:53.400 --> 0:35:58.680 To help you, but not as and and here's the 0:35:58.680 --> 0:36:01.480 difference between and Also so it's important to remember also 0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:03.920 to the difference between dan Quinn's system and the Mike 0:36:03.960 --> 0:36:09.480 Zimmer system. Mike Zimmer, like dan Quinn coaches you they 0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:13.239 you're going to take your going for turnovers like they 0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:17.120 coach turnovers in a way that is very unique because 0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:19.479 I remember some of the players saying like, I've never 0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:22.200 done this, much like jug Work, I've never done this 0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:25.799 like he Joey Junior and those guys really emphasized taking 0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.040 the ball away and that's why the Cowboys thrived during 0:36:28.040 --> 0:36:32.479 that time. Dan Quinn's previous teams had been top ten 0:36:32.680 --> 0:36:35.120 and in turnovers, so it's something that carries with him 0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:35.600 most of the time. 0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:37.840 Washington Havings strut whatever, it's not my business. 0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:44.200 Mike Zimmer system teaches if you play your position, the 0:36:44.280 --> 0:36:45.799 turnovers will come to you. 0:36:47.200 --> 0:36:48.399 They're coming to them now. 0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:50.880 So because they understand the existence. 0:36:50.520 --> 0:36:53.600 It does take patients. Because you have some risk takers 0:36:54.000 --> 0:36:55.480 also too. On your defense. 0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:58.200 The Marcus Lawrence will held jump out of his rush 0:36:58.280 --> 0:37:00.200 lane every now and he'll move to another gap. 0:37:00.280 --> 0:37:02.360 To We've seen him do that on big plays. 0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:06.280 Trayvon Diggs, he'll jump routes during Blandale jump routes. 0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:08.839 Like you have some risk taker type guys. And I'm 0:37:08.880 --> 0:37:10.040 not saying to take that away. 0:37:10.440 --> 0:37:13.080 It's just that this system is it is different to 0:37:13.160 --> 0:37:15.719 your point in you play it. If you play it right, 0:37:16.040 --> 0:37:18.959 the turnovers will come to you as opposed to we're 0:37:19.040 --> 0:37:21.480 going to seek them from the start of the snap. 0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:25.480 That sounded that Oh very Yoda wise word. 0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:26.239 That was one of the. 0:37:26.160 --> 0:37:28.960 Biggest differences that I noticed in Zimmer system when I 0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:29.600 was learning it. 0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:30.840 When I first I was like. 0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:33.880 Oh, he wants you to play sound well and the 0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:36.280 ball will come to you to that point too. 0:37:37.120 --> 0:37:40.680 Last year, the Cowboys, you know, were cut. Okay, let's 0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:43.759 go back a year before last. You're Trayvon Diggs who 0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:47.080 was the ball hawk being Trayson Diggs Trays out. Then 0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:49.760 you have Drawn Bland coming out of nowhere. Mister anything 0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:52.600 but Bland picked six. Okay, So then you start this 0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:56.959 season Drawn's out and then you get drawn back Tray's out. 0:37:57.080 --> 0:38:00.640 So it's almost like the. 0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:02.920 People forget. 0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:05.680 People forget what a ballhawk can really be in that 0:38:05.719 --> 0:38:08.440 Cowboys dB because they haven't seen it so far this 0:38:08.480 --> 0:38:11.719 season because yeah, one side's been out, the other's been out. 0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:15.759 That dB room has just been through it through the 0:38:15.840 --> 0:38:19.680 ring or this season, so they're not respecting it as 0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:23.600 much as you've seen in previous seasons because again, reputation carries, 0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:26.560 and from that, you just haven't seen it yet because 0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:30.160 again injury Bug decided to come and hit very hard, 0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:32.239 specifically that cornerback room. 0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:33.160 Oh my goodness, you. 0:38:33.160 --> 0:38:35.120 Don't get no pressure either. I mean you wasn't. You 0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:36.160 didn't get into the quarterback. 0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:38.279 I mean they were getting pressures, I'll give them that, 0:38:38.400 --> 0:38:43.240 but they weren't affecting the QB. Kaitlin Carson's on IR 0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:45.880 Now what's the TikTok? Now? 0:38:46.880 --> 0:38:47.279 I don't know. 0:38:47.400 --> 0:38:48.560 I'm glad Listen. 0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:51.840 This was a very rough year to be a rookie 0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:56.359 corner on this defense with no pass rush I'm sorry, y'all, 0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:59.040 Like this is a nugget you're asking him to hold 0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:02.160 on to do your life and quarterbacks are just back 0:39:02.160 --> 0:39:05.480 there like, yeah, I'm. 0:39:05.280 --> 0:39:06.680 Gonna go to like you know what I'm saying. So 0:39:06.719 --> 0:39:09.160 I agree. I do think that didn't help either that. 0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:12.799 I think that's the second day right now is benefiting 0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:16.440 from this past rush. Michael Parson's being back, those guys 0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:17.280 being in the line. 0:39:17.080 --> 0:39:19.320 Of sifting able to play well again. 0:39:19.800 --> 0:39:22.799 Donald looking like Donald Donovan is. They're figuring out some 0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:25.480 things with Donovan, have him coming forward. 0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:28.440 Yes, that is his game. Yeah, that's his game. 0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:30.880 All right? Whoa We have a little game afterwards. It's 0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:32.680 not really a game, but it's Yeah, it's kind of. 0:39:32.640 --> 0:39:33.279 A game, all right. 0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:35.719 Who makes Who made you smile on Thanksgiving Day? 0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:37.920 Think about it?

I really think this is the 0:43:29.400 --> 0:43:33.960 starting line for what you're gonna see from Rico. And honestly, 0:43:34.040 --> 0:43:36.720 I just feel like it's what you needed for McCarthy 0:43:36.760 --> 0:43:40.160 to feel really confident in play calling, and to your point, 0:43:40.239 --> 0:43:43.320 Nicole consistently adding the run through all four quarters of 0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:46.319 the game. So it made me smile because I've seen 0:43:46.440 --> 0:43:49.160 Rico's journey. He's one of the first players that I 0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:50.960 talked to in the locker room when we first started 0:43:50.960 --> 0:43:53.640 going in there, and to see him from then to 0:43:53.719 --> 0:43:56.719 now and the confidence growth and the growth as him 0:43:56.719 --> 0:43:58.880 as a player, I'm just really I'm really proud. 0:43:58.600 --> 0:43:59.080 Of him for that. 0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:03.840 So yeah, and I was thankful, thankful for and anyone 0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:04.640 that doubtled him. 0:44:04.680 --> 0:44:08.880 I don't know who made me smile. Boy, let me 0:44:08.880 --> 0:44:09.440 tell you something. 0:44:10.000 --> 0:44:14.320 I feel like I have Brack Kaufin. 0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:17.879 What have you on the ground today? I compared him. 0:44:18.200 --> 0:44:20.680 I compared him. I said he got a Draymond Green spirit. 0:44:21.040 --> 0:44:22.520 And I think a lot of people look at that 0:44:22.600 --> 0:44:26.880 and they be like, I'm like, first of all, Draymond 0:44:26.920 --> 0:44:31.160 Green is one of the most the smartest basketball players 0:44:31.200 --> 0:44:33.279 I qis. 0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:33.920 You will ever hear. 0:44:34.480 --> 0:44:38.040 But also to his antics. Although I don't agree with 0:44:38.080 --> 0:44:41.560 all of them, a lot of them have reason. If 0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:44.480 you listen to him, it's a mental game to him. 0:44:44.640 --> 0:44:47.920 And and Brock is that type of guy. He backs 0:44:47.920 --> 0:44:50.920 it up with the physicality and the nastiest in his play. 0:44:51.040 --> 0:44:53.600 But he is I'm gonna be in your face all day, 0:44:54.600 --> 0:44:56.160 come on, homie, like all day. 0:44:56.200 --> 0:44:58.000 And I was just watching him some of the stuff 0:44:58.000 --> 0:44:58.920 he was doing on the field. 0:44:58.960 --> 0:45:03.160 I said this, and it's crazy, but I think every 0:45:03.280 --> 0:45:05.279 I think every offensive line needs. 0:45:05.040 --> 0:45:05.520 A little bit. 0:45:05.760 --> 0:45:08.720 I need someone that is like that, that's not afraid 0:45:08.840 --> 0:45:11.960 to to do some gibbering, some jabber and that's not 0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:15.080 afraid to total line just a little bit, you know, 0:45:15.200 --> 0:45:16.080 to set the tone. 0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:19.280 So what made me smile? Brack Kaufman. He had me cackling, 0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:21.399 especially if you go back and watch the film. 0:45:21.440 --> 0:45:24.400 I said, Hoffmann, you ain't gotta fight every player. You 0:45:24.440 --> 0:45:27.000 ain't gotta be cussing nobody out everything. 0:45:27.000 --> 0:45:28.400 But sometimes it works. 0:45:28.680 --> 0:45:33.600 It if you go look at what wouldn't it you say. 0:45:34.680 --> 0:45:39.840 Jesse Jesse Holly Uh. He were talking about it earlier 0:45:39.840 --> 0:45:42.640 and he was just like, man, like, I'm watching Dexter 0:45:42.719 --> 0:45:46.239 Lawrence get visibly by him. 0:45:46.719 --> 0:45:49.320 But at the same time, that's. 0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:49.719 It's a part of it. 0:45:49.719 --> 0:45:51.640 It is a part of the game, and he was 0:45:51.760 --> 0:45:53.200 playing to back up what he was. 0:45:53.440 --> 0:45:56.160 Yes, that's what happened. Actually, as a matter of fact, 0:45:56.160 --> 0:45:59.000 it just made me smile. He had me cackling because. 0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:01.200 What is wronging sick. 0:46:02.560 --> 0:46:05.520 I'm gonna go Brandon Cooks just because work with the 0:46:05.560 --> 0:46:08.600 rehab and not just the touchdown, but I mean big place, 0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:11.280 but but that catch at the end of the game 0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:13.919 to keep the ball for the Cowboys where they could 0:46:13.960 --> 0:46:16.719 just kneel down, that was I mean, just the way 0:46:16.760 --> 0:46:19.600 he just snagged it.
