Speaker 2: This is Girls Talk, Boys Talk, presented by Jigsaw Dating,
Speaker 2: preferred dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys, and broadcasting live
Speaker 2: from Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at the Star. Now your hosts,
Speaker 2: Christy Scales, Aisha Morrison, Nicole Hutcheson and Jess Navarrees.
Speaker 4: Welcome in to Girls Talk, Boys Talk, presented by Jigsaw,
Speaker 4: the preferred dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys, in the
Speaker 4: s TOBBC studio. I'm Nicole Hudson alongside Aasha Morrison, Jess Navarrees,
Speaker 4: and Christie Scales. His victory Friday, y'all, His victory Friday,
Speaker 4: the Cowboys moving to nine and three in the season
Speaker 4: after the big win over.
Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 5: It was not pretty.
Speaker 4: It was not easy for the Cowboys coming in clutch
Speaker 4: and getting it done down the stretch. So many a
Speaker 4: lot of people doubting this team whether or not they
Speaker 4: can finally get a win over a team with a
Speaker 4: winning record, But they seem to get off to a
Speaker 4: good start of getting that done. Christy, I first got
Speaker 4: to ask you this though, because the Cowboys were trailing
Speaker 4: actually for the first time this season at home, thirty
Speaker 4: five thirty with under five minutes to go. What was
Speaker 4: the atmosphere like because you were on the sidelines for that.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you know, it was one of resolve really
Speaker 6: on the sideline. And even though the defense had been
Speaker 6: torched basically through the first three quarters and most of
Speaker 6: the fourth, you know, they they stepped up and made
Speaker 6: the plays when they needed to, with those three stops
Speaker 6: on the fourth down plays late in the game. And
Speaker 6: you know, there's never any finger pointing or anything like that,
Speaker 6: and there's never any offense questioning the defense or vice versa,
Speaker 6: you know, like earlier in the season when it was
Speaker 6: the offense that was struggling. So yeah, it was really
Speaker 6: I mean they were tired, you know, I mean three
Speaker 6: games in twelve days is a lot physically and mentally.
Speaker 6: But when they needed to, they rose up. And that,
Speaker 6: I tell you, that did not feel like a football game.
Speaker 7: That was more like a ping pong match.
Speaker 6: It was there, yeah, and there and there, and the
Speaker 6: only interruptions were the yellow flags.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 8: Oh, but a lot of eruptions, Yeah what you're saying, Yeah, wow,
Speaker 8: But it.
Speaker 5: Was nineteen interruptions if you want to get business.
Speaker 7: Yeah, crazy, well in technically twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah total, but of course someone else were negated.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, it was It was one of resolving
Speaker 6: confidence for sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: I think what was interesting is to see how well
Speaker 3: the Seahawks fans traveled to this game. We're just talking
Speaker 3: about that, and you could hear them doing their little
Speaker 3: Seahawks chant after that field goal.
Speaker 5: I want to say it was third quarter.
Speaker 6: Oh really, well, they were doing it in the first
Speaker 6: quarter after that DK metcalf.
Speaker 5: I didn't hear it that at that point.
Speaker 3: At that point I was typing away on the computer.
Speaker 3: But in the third quarter, I was like, what, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: what is going on in here? But what I did love.
Speaker 3: What I did love is to see the resilience from
Speaker 3: this team. And we talked about that word so much
Speaker 3: last season. What really gives me hope going forward for
Speaker 3: the stretch of the schedule that's coming up is that's
Speaker 3: a common reoccurring thing. We usually talk about that in
Speaker 3: terms of negative things like the run defense or the
Speaker 3: penalties that we've been talking about last season. The resilience
Speaker 3: is still there as well, and so that fight Ben
Speaker 3: but never break. Mentality from this team is again just
Speaker 3: going back to the culture that they've really adopted in
Speaker 3: the locker room with the coaching staff, and I think
Speaker 3: this game was definitely showing of what we had talked
Speaker 3: about that the Seahawks were gonna throw it all at
Speaker 3: Youtely you had to be ready for it. And look,
Speaker 3: I'm glad they had a game like this. It showed
Speaker 3: them a lot about themselves. And if there's one thing
Speaker 3: I do know about this group and this team is
Speaker 3: that they're going to take all these less in the
Speaker 3: next ten days and they're going to use it and
Speaker 3: utilize it going forward for next Sunday against the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your team grew up a lot.
Speaker 8: I felt like this game and when you look at
Speaker 8: I mean you just mentioned it, just they have a
Speaker 8: lot they can learn from this game. Micah said in
Speaker 8: the locker room that Seattle three else Mon scouted looks
Speaker 8: to them shout out to shout out to just talking
Speaker 8: about that, and you could feel their urgency, but also
Speaker 8: to I got to give a lot of credit to
Speaker 8: Pete Carroll and those gentlemen over there because that game plan,
Speaker 8: the way that they came out and really just went
Speaker 8: at it.
Speaker 1: The aggressiveness Gino Smith.
Speaker 8: One of the biggest grapes on him this seasons had
Speaker 8: been him holding the ball along That offensive line played
Speaker 8: pretty well for them, So definitely have to give credit
Speaker 8: to them and what they did. But as far as
Speaker 8: this Cowboys team, this is the best game of the
Speaker 8: season to me all the way around, just because of
Speaker 8: the way that they were tested and the different ways
Speaker 8: that they were tested.
Speaker 1: And how they had to respond.
Speaker 8: I think there's so much teach tape to take from
Speaker 8: this game, especially in the secondary where there was some miscommunication.
Speaker 1: There were some things going on back there.
Speaker 8: We saw Dan Quinn in the second half decide to
Speaker 8: let Stefan Gilmour.
Speaker 1: Travel with DK.
Speaker 8: They they found out some things about themselves and they
Speaker 8: adjusted on the fly. I feel like that's gonna be
Speaker 8: important moving forward and starting to get to this point
Speaker 8: where I have this belief that in the fourth quarter
Speaker 8: this team will deliver.
Speaker 1: They'll figure some things out, especially defensively. I mean to have.
Speaker 8: Three to end the game on three turnovers on downs
Speaker 8: and just to be that that firm and like, nah,
Speaker 8: this is it.
Speaker 1: We're trying to go ahead and end this game. You
Speaker 1: mentioned it.
Speaker 8: There is a lot of faith, it sounds like on
Speaker 8: the sideline between the defense and the offense and special
Speaker 8: teams to where they believe, Hey, we know you're gonna
Speaker 8: get a stop. We know that Dak Prescott's gonna go
Speaker 8: out and score. And so a lot of good things
Speaker 8: to take from this game, some things that this team's
Speaker 8: gonna be. There's good things to take away from it
Speaker 8: that technically was negative that they can use later on
Speaker 8: in the season. Some of the close call situations, some
Speaker 8: of the end game you know, timing situations and stuff
Speaker 8: that's gonna come in here and moving forward.
Speaker 1: So I'm very.
Speaker 8: Positive on this game despite some of the negatives, and
Speaker 8: we'll hopefully work from there. And I just think the
Speaker 8: penalties are what they are At this point, I don't
Speaker 8: even know what to say.
Speaker 4: I think we talk about how teams play the Cowboys
Speaker 4: like as their super Bowl and this was like the
Speaker 4: perfect going back to what Jess said, this was like
Speaker 4: the perfect example of that this team. The Seahawks had
Speaker 4: only three offensive touchdowns in the last four games, came
Speaker 4: in oh and two.
Speaker 1: Gino Smith played lights out. It was kind of shocking.
Speaker 1: Being mobile.
Speaker 4: He had an offensive line that played very well. But
Speaker 4: I think this Cowboys team, like y'all all said, they
Speaker 4: showed a lot of resilience. But this offense putting up
Speaker 4: four hundred and eleven yards of offense, it seems like
Speaker 4: these guys are clicking at the right time. Dak Prescott,
Speaker 4: of course getting guys involved again, eight different guys involved. Christy,
Speaker 4: I'll start with you, what are you liking about this
Speaker 4: offense in the way that they're clicking so far right
Speaker 4: down at this point of the season.
Speaker 6: I like that it's still Dak taking shots down the
Speaker 6: field that really the last month and a half of
Speaker 6: the season and when he's really been on this role
Speaker 6: and there was a lot of traffic around him and
Speaker 6: he was under duress early, but then I thought it
Speaker 6: was a little bit better. But he he just had
Speaker 6: another incredible game. And I'm still hoping that Michael Galluple
Speaker 6: be utilized more, show up more. But the rest of
Speaker 6: the receiving corps and Jake Ferguson what he's doing, you know,
Speaker 6: he's becoming he's becoming the reliable guy like Dalton Schultz
Speaker 6: had been for Dak Prescott. But I thought it was
Speaker 6: interesting when I talked earlier and we all mentioned the
Speaker 6: resolve and the resilience. It was interesting because you could
Speaker 6: tell that the offense knew that they that they had
Speaker 6: it because the way that Mike McCarthy some of the decisions, Now, oh.
Speaker 7: My good, that's what.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the the decision on whether to go for two
Speaker 6: or whether whether to go for it on fourth down
Speaker 6: instead of kicking the field goal, because we're like on
Speaker 6: Cowboys Radio, We're like, whoa, this doesn't work. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I you know, we probably would have gone the
Speaker 7: other way, but.
Speaker 6: You know, he had in his mind what he wanted
Speaker 6: to do in the faith that we were going to,
Speaker 6: you know, get the ball back and on offense.
Speaker 7: So I thought it was really interesting.
Speaker 4: So yeah, and kind of kind of piggybacking off of
Speaker 4: that this goodness, the Seahawks played a lot of zone,
Speaker 4: so it made Dak really have to be precise on
Speaker 4: his throws, and you saw a couple of overthrows by Yisha.
Speaker 4: As far as later in the game, he was pretty precise.
Speaker 4: What did you like about the way that, you know,
Speaker 4: really da kind of adjusted.
Speaker 8: Oh no, I mean, I'm glad that you mentioned the
Speaker 8: zone that they were playing, because I feel like it
Speaker 8: made a difference in the red zone and this Seahawks like,
Speaker 8: I don't get a twisted We.
Speaker 1: Talked about this.
Speaker 8: They got some players and those dbs really didn't make
Speaker 8: it easy for these Dallas receivers early on, like how
Speaker 8: the Cowboys still found ways to get it done, but
Speaker 8: specifically in the red zone. One thing about Seattle's defense,
Speaker 8: they have a lot of length, the crap tunne length,
Speaker 8: and when we talk about how small the red zone is,
Speaker 8: they're able to take up a lot of space. And
Speaker 8: so I felt like down there in the red zone
Speaker 8: they had to figure some things out. I would have
Speaker 8: liked to see the run game be a little bit
Speaker 8: more efficient down there.
Speaker 1: Because when a team is playing zone like that, guess.
Speaker 8: What that means that they don't have as many people
Speaker 8: in the box typically, So we should be able to
Speaker 8: take advantage of those opportunities they weren't able to.
Speaker 1: Another thing again, an improvement they're gonna have to make.
Speaker 8: And also try to figure out some zone beaters for
Speaker 8: the red zone.
Speaker 1: I think they have plenty.
Speaker 8: Of man beaters plenty, but that moving.
Speaker 1: Forward is important to me. They were four of eight yesterday.
Speaker 8: I'm not gonna sit up here and just want about
Speaker 8: it because they were just consistently going down there and
Speaker 8: making something happen. But I believe they had to drive
Speaker 8: with them the two was it, Yes, yeah, yeah, what are.
Speaker 1: We doing here?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying, Like, seriously, you should be
Speaker 8: able to punch it in there. That offensive line was
Speaker 8: playing well there, so some of the decision making, to
Speaker 8: your point, could have been a little bit better.
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people was like, well
Speaker 1: with the past.
Speaker 8: You know, in the last minute and a half of
Speaker 8: the game, where you're giving Seattle the opportunity to first down,
Speaker 8: drains that clock and it's done for the most part.
Speaker 1: So again things to learn from.
Speaker 8: As far as the quarterback, he's playing at a super
Speaker 8: duper high level. He understands his protection, he understands where
Speaker 8: the pressure's coming from. He's able to evade it again
Speaker 8: using his legs.
Speaker 1: But he took a lot of hits early in the game.
Speaker 7: And it's such a physical.
Speaker 8: Game and I was looking at him. I was looking
Speaker 8: at him on the sideline and I was thinking to myself,
Speaker 8: I saw how dirty his jersey was.
Speaker 1: I said, oh, they done did it now?
Speaker 8: Because it listen, Dak when he can it's something about
Speaker 8: when he gets hit in the mouth, it's.
Speaker 1: Just something like wakes up in him. And he's always
Speaker 1: had that.
Speaker 8: But when he had that little that run to the
Speaker 8: outside with Tolbert running behind Tolbert the r P O
Speaker 8: and he kind of flexed on, Oh dude, I.
Speaker 6: Said, yeah, that's Jack Jak doesn't really do that, and
Speaker 6: it was it was Reek Woolen corner back and uh man,
Speaker 6: that was like I had the exact same reaction.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's on and it's the same thing with us.
Speaker 4: When Jamal Adams got in his face and then Jake
Speaker 4: Ferguson laid the game.
Speaker 5: Just because the way that he bounced back.
Speaker 3: Because as soon as I went to the locker room,
Speaker 3: I was asking.
Speaker 5: All about it. I was like, what was going on?
Speaker 3: And it does come down to Seattle was playing physical.
Speaker 3: And the thing is, from the guys I talked to
Speaker 3: last night, they knew that they knew going into it
Speaker 3: with their scouting report that this was going to be
Speaker 3: a physical game. However, it just there were some moments
Speaker 3: where it was like, oh goodness, when you.
Speaker 6: Go on you call it playing through the through the
Speaker 6: echo of the whistle.
Speaker 3: It was that was intense But what I did appreciate
Speaker 3: from this game, and I like that these guys play
Speaker 3: smart football because it's high emotions.
Speaker 5: When guys are hitting you hard and they're swinging and they're.
Speaker 3: Being physical, it does take that discipline to know when
Speaker 3: to step back and know when to not get another
Speaker 3: penalty thrown on you for unsportsmanlike conduct or personal foul
Speaker 3: or anything of that nature. So what I really like
Speaker 3: about this team is it shows the discipline that they're
Speaker 3: able to play with through these physical games that are
Speaker 3: testing them. And they're going to need that against Philadelphia
Speaker 3: next week because Philly is going to be very testy
Speaker 3: for this team. And so talking to some of the
Speaker 3: guys in the locker room, I was asking, like, what
Speaker 3: happened at this point, and what happened at this point?
Speaker 3: They said they they wanted the smoke, They got the smoke.
Speaker 3: And something that I really appreciate every single time, shout
Speaker 3: out to Tyler Battish because he was ready to fight
Speaker 3: for his guy. Jake Ferguson, and I talked to him
Speaker 3: after the game. I was like, what's going on and
Speaker 3: He's like, I was making sure Jake was okay.
Speaker 5: I saw him hit his head I was making sure
Speaker 5: he was good and.
Speaker 3: He's like, Nah, you don't touch Fergie like that. And
Speaker 3: just the way they rally together, even in those moments
Speaker 3: you're talking about Dak getting a little chirpy.
Speaker 5: They all follow Dak's lead and they all.
Speaker 3: Have that same mentality when they know it's time to
Speaker 3: turn it up like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody follows suit.
Speaker 3: And I think the perfect example of that was Jake
Speaker 3: Ferguson getting in that mindset.
Speaker 5: Saw Tyler Biattish doing it on the other side.
Speaker 3: As well, and so it's so interesting just to see
Speaker 3: how far this team has come in terms of being
Speaker 3: disciplined and smart football players, even when it's getting physical
Speaker 3: and chirpy on the other side as well.
Speaker 4: You said physical, and it's crazy because right on the
Speaker 4: screen over there, I can't see it obviously who's listening,
Speaker 4: But they showed one of the set Seattle Seahawks players
Speaker 4: getting a massage in the tent, so you can tell.
Speaker 4: I mean that game was physical and definitely gonna be.
Speaker 1: Aware on the body.
Speaker 4: If you had to choose, we'll break down this offense
Speaker 4: in the next break and defense in the last. But
Speaker 4: if you had to choose a player that stood out
Speaker 4: to you the most in Thursday night's game, who would
Speaker 4: it be?
Speaker 1: It was Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 8: For me, he is he's arrived and his I feel
Speaker 8: like his attitude it made a difference yesterday. It did
Speaker 8: Like like you said, we ain't seen that get in
Speaker 8: like nobody's face like that.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him getting by his face like that.
Speaker 8: But his just his demeanor and his attitude, and if
Speaker 8: you go look at him and blocking chipping, I mean
Speaker 8: it carries over. And I feel like when you have
Speaker 8: a tight end that adding a tight end that can
Speaker 8: kind of do it all to your offense.
Speaker 1: It takes it up another notch.
Speaker 8: Like this is starting to become where he's a regular
Speaker 8: guy and he's dependable. I mean six six receptions on
Speaker 8: eight targets, he averaged twelve point eight yards a catch.
Speaker 8: I mean, like this is crazy. This is this is
Speaker 8: efficient football and he's.
Speaker 1: Helping out in big spots.
Speaker 8: But you know how I know Jake Ferguson must be
Speaker 8: showing something on film because look at how the Seattle
Speaker 8: defenders was working. They were trying, yeah, to out physical
Speaker 8: and they were trying to mister race many, but they
Speaker 8: were trying to let him.
Speaker 1: It was an effort to make him, make.
Speaker 8: Him understand that they were going at him, and he
Speaker 8: never backed down.
Speaker 5: I feel like he.
Speaker 1: Got better yesterday.
Speaker 8: I feel like he's he's really coming along and what
Speaker 8: he could do for this offense moving forward is going
Speaker 8: to be it's gonna be very helpful down the stretch.
Speaker 8: And to your point, Jess Dak said on the interview
Speaker 8: post game, he said, this brotherhood is strong, and he
Speaker 8: said it was such confidence and conviction and you can
Speaker 8: see that on the field.
Speaker 1: So that's my guy. Ferg. He stood out to me.
Speaker 3: All right, you gotta stay with me for this one, right,
Speaker 3: you gotta stay with me.
Speaker 5: Fred I was gonna go there, John Blaine.
Speaker 3: And here's the thing. In the first half, I wanted
Speaker 3: to make sure I got this right. He allowed five
Speaker 3: receptions for one hundred and thirty seven yards alone in
Speaker 3: the first half. He was targeted six times during that time.
Speaker 3: He also allowed that seventy three yarder to dk Met that.
Speaker 5: Just said hey, Seahawks are here.
Speaker 3: And then he was responsible for a massive DPI call
Speaker 3: which then again allowed Seattle to make that touchdown right
Speaker 3: before the half. Okay, sounds horrible, right.
Speaker 5: So Jess why is he standing out to you?
Speaker 3: Well, look at the resilience that he showed for a
Speaker 3: young second year player to not let that kind of
Speaker 3: first half determine the rest of his game. And he
Speaker 3: kept going at it knowing they were targeting him. They
Speaker 3: Gino Smith said, I'm gonna pick on the weaker guy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try to bully you. You
Speaker 3: know what he did. He bullied the bully right back,
Speaker 3: and he said resilience. And what was so cool is
Speaker 3: to hear him talk after the game about how it
Speaker 3: wasn't anything but him just trying to play at that point.
Speaker 3: It didn't waiver his confidence, it didn't waiver what he
Speaker 3: was thinking. He just wanted to continue to keep playing
Speaker 3: and get better from the first half that he had.
Speaker 5: And guess what he did.
Speaker 3: He got the only interception, the only takeaway in that
Speaker 3: game for the DEFF, which was a momentum shift.
Speaker 1: Off instant score after that.
Speaker 3: But it did allow for Seattle to not put more
Speaker 3: points on the board, which.
Speaker 5: Would have come back to bite had they not.
Speaker 3: Scored at the Cowboys not scored back at the end
Speaker 3: of the game at that point. But the point is
Speaker 3: Deron Bland. I'm I'm appalled at some of the things
Speaker 3: I was saying about him last night, because you're talking
Speaker 3: about a guy who already broke an NFL record, still
Speaker 3: five more games to play, talking about a second year
Speaker 3: player who is able to continue to hold that kind
Speaker 3: of confidence after that kind.
Speaker 5: Of first half.
Speaker 1: Really, I need to humble.
Speaker 8: There's this odd need I've seen with sports fans alike
Speaker 8: is that it's you need you have to humble this
Speaker 8: player or this player needs to be humbled.
Speaker 1: And so with the a lot of.
Speaker 8: The comments with Dron Bland, they're like, oh, well, there
Speaker 8: it is now, and it's like, do y'all not understand
Speaker 8: what dB means and what it calls.
Speaker 5: For sure of the position.
Speaker 8: Also to DK, Metcalfe is hardly he might have had
Speaker 8: the best game of his season, number.
Speaker 1: One, big guy?
Speaker 5: Did we forget this different?
Speaker 10: Air?
Speaker 5: Faster? Way faster?
Speaker 8: And to add on to what you said, Mike, Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 8: Micah said something really good after the game. Again he
Speaker 8: said this, Matt like their wide receiver Cord.
Speaker 1: It's similar to the Eagles.
Speaker 8: This is good opportunity for them to get practice. But
Speaker 8: also to to add on to your part about dron
Speaker 8: Bland to stay confident when coach comes to you at
Speaker 8: the half and says, hey, we're gonna let Stefan travel
Speaker 8: with him, and to still you know, that takes a
Speaker 8: lot of getting your ego out the way and having
Speaker 8: a mental fortitude to go play on the side. He's
Speaker 8: not a customer to plan on the other side like that.
Speaker 1: So it also to me.
Speaker 8: Shows again what you're saying about him is his resilience
Speaker 8: and his ability to be coachable and to stay and
Speaker 8: to stay locked in. I really, I really think we
Speaker 8: still got us a heck of a player and he's
Speaker 8: so much.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the coachable I'm glad that you use that word,
Speaker 6: because to me, that was the best moment last night
Speaker 6: was after on the sideline, after Jaron Bland got that
Speaker 6: interception and.
Speaker 7: He came to the side.
Speaker 6: Of course, well he went with his teammates and they
Speaker 6: go to the back of the end zone and post
Speaker 6: for the photos and stuff, of course, but by the
Speaker 6: time he's headed back up the sideline towards the bench area,
Speaker 6: excuse me, and Al Harris is there, the DB's coach
Speaker 6: to hug him, and it was just a little bit
Speaker 6: longer longer, stronger hug than just the normal quick bro hug,
Speaker 6: you know, and it's like, yeah, because you knew that
Speaker 6: to your point, he was talking to him at halftime probably,
Speaker 6: and so that's what really stood out to me.
Speaker 8: Yeah, what an adjustment though I thought I thought it
Speaker 8: was a heck of an adjustment to put stuff on
Speaker 8: Gilmour on him, And it's just another thing that you know,
Speaker 8: you look at and I do think that this secondary
Speaker 8: has to figure some things out, especially from the safety position.
Speaker 8: I've they to your point on that touchdown that DK
Speaker 8: had to I mean, Donov was there too. It was
Speaker 8: some some some things going on from the safety position.
Speaker 8: So I feel like they can, Like I said, there's
Speaker 8: a lot they can learn from this game, especially this secondary,
Speaker 8: who I.
Speaker 1: Don't know if they've been have they been tested like
Speaker 1: that yet?
Speaker 5: I don't think.
Speaker 1: But it was kind of nice.
Speaker 6: But like Jordan Lewis stepping up the fourth quarter played
Speaker 6: he really did was just very impressive.
Speaker 1: It had to be and people's coming out party. Shoot. Now,
Speaker 1: that looked like the guy though he looked like the
Speaker 1: guy in.
Speaker 8: The draft, the rat runner, the playmaker, but George Lewis,
Speaker 8: those those two pvus I said, there's veil Crow.
Speaker 1: That's what they used to call him in college. Yeah,
Speaker 1: veil Crow isn't there.
Speaker 8: Veil Crow and he he came to play too. So
Speaker 8: we got some good play from your nickel corner as well.
Speaker 8: To finish that game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got some good play from a lot of guys.
Speaker 4: We're gonna take our first break. You're watching girls talk,

Speaker 3: With Santa and missus Claus as well. Visit at and
Speaker 3: T Stadium dot com slash Rally Days for tickets and
Speaker 3: more information.
Speaker 4: Right, get your photo with Santa. Wasn't a picture perfect
Speaker 4: game yesterday?
Speaker 6: Wow?
Speaker 1: Cowboy Friday?
Speaker 7: Obviously Come on, jow.
Speaker 1: Nicole.
Speaker 5: You know I will always hype up right.
Speaker 4: Cowboys offense man on a roll. Another forty point game
Speaker 4: at AT and T Stadium to extend their home winning streak.
Speaker 4: Toteen wins, but Dak Prescott we touched on him a
Speaker 4: little bit in the first segment, but we've got to
Speaker 4: touch on this man right he's two hundred and ninety
Speaker 4: nine yards, three touchdowns, another game where he threw for
Speaker 4: more than three plus touchdowns game. But really, I think
Speaker 4: that it's finally come together for him. I feel like
Speaker 4: he's playing at his best. November football for him was
Speaker 4: probably his best in the past two three years. And
Speaker 4: so what did y'all like about the fact that he's
Speaker 4: Dak's playing with so much confidence. Is there anyone that
Speaker 4: can stop this guy right now?
Speaker 6: I like the way that he was able to move
Speaker 6: within the pocket because we mentioned earlier that he was
Speaker 6: under duress and to buy just enough time to get
Speaker 6: the pass off and continues to make good decisions and
Speaker 6: protect the ball.
Speaker 8: Yeah. I felt like he threw a lot of good
Speaker 8: balls yesterday, even some of the ones I think they
Speaker 8: had four drops.
Speaker 6: Yeah, his percentage should have been a little bit higher
Speaker 6: activated four drs.
Speaker 8: He's just seeing the field very well. One of the
Speaker 8: things that even even last year, sometimes teams would catch him,
Speaker 8: linebackers would catch him. And going up against Bobby Wagner
Speaker 8: and those guys loved how he took advantage.
Speaker 1: Of the matchups as well, because if he saw Jamal
Speaker 1: Adams and coverage. Yes, I'll lie that.
Speaker 8: Jake Ferguson, he was like, I know you're struggling and
Speaker 8: you're coming off an injury.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go at you.
Speaker 8: They went at Bobby Wagner in the passing games at time,
Speaker 8: and so for me, I just love that he's taking.
Speaker 8: He's taken what the matchups are showing him, and also
Speaker 8: to he I mean, obviously he's given the ball to
Speaker 8: CD Lamb, but there are role players in this offense
Speaker 8: too who matter. Because the pass to Kamante Turpin on
Speaker 8: third down was huge inside the red zone. Jaylen Tobert
Speaker 8: that were he strangled was crazy. When he escapes the sacks,
Speaker 8: still looks downfield and Jalen Tobert is there. I think, yes, absolutely,
Speaker 8: I think it's important that he still gets the role
Speaker 8: players involved in this. And I call them role players
Speaker 8: just because of how the game kind of trends, how
Speaker 8: things happen, and you know, Brandon Cooks, you know all
Speaker 8: this stuff, but I feel like those gentlemen are just
Speaker 8: as important. And he he reminded kind of reminds you
Speaker 8: of that, Like those big plays that they're making in
Speaker 8: those tough situations, he's trying to keep them engaged and
Speaker 8: that matters every reader. You don't want those guys checking
Speaker 8: out because they're not getting the ball or they're just
Speaker 8: blocking like crazy, because that's what jayaln Tobert is blocking
Speaker 8: his tail off.
Speaker 7: So I get and Michael Gallup.
Speaker 8: To absolutely yeah for the power run to the outside.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 8: So I feel like, obviously you mentioned it, Nicole, he
Speaker 8: has a lot of control over this offense. You heard
Speaker 8: him audibling and doing some things at the line of
Speaker 8: scrimmage as well.
Speaker 1: And the knock on him has always been I don't
Speaker 1: know how he does against son defense, and he's just
Speaker 1: been rocking it this year.
Speaker 8: So just see the complete and total package of like,
Speaker 8: if you're gonna beat him, you're gonna have to beat
Speaker 8: him straight up. And even so, he took sax yesterday
Speaker 8: and still was efficient. So it's gonna be tough on
Speaker 8: defenses to figure out because you really, right now, it's
Speaker 8: difficult to fool him. And I believe that's the like
Speaker 8: uptick because that's the uptick in this game because a
Speaker 8: lot of people are gonna say, well, we don't know
Speaker 8: if we can go men and men with your receivers
Speaker 8: with Brandon Cooks and CD Lamb on the outside, especially
Speaker 8: for now, some teams are probably gonna try to play
Speaker 8: more zone and the fact that he can beat it
Speaker 8: consistently and he's showing that it opens up a whole
Speaker 8: nother round for this offense. And I just think that
Speaker 8: him playing at this level makes the whole playbook available.
Speaker 8: And that's that's when you're cooking with gas. When you're
Speaker 8: going into the playoffs. Is there's no limitations?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh yeah. The dude is playing some great
Speaker 1: ball right now.
Speaker 8: So it's it's gonna be fun about to This is
Speaker 8: a fun part of the year. Man Like, starting with yesterday,
Speaker 8: we're finding out a lot about this team.
Speaker 7: Everything's been an appetizer to this point.
Speaker 1: It's about to getting limb.
Speaker 5: I haven't either. I was greedy and we have not
Speaker 5: the want.
Speaker 7: Some eminems on the training table.
Speaker 1: Hands y'all really.
Speaker 9: Questions, Wet Snack.
Speaker 5: You talked about role players.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you are fine players.
Speaker 4: And Michael Gallup and a lot of those guys not
Speaker 4: taking plays off because they're not getting the ball, and
Speaker 4: Dak obviously with great ball distribution. But the guys that
Speaker 4: are playing those roles, how do you feel like they've
Speaker 4: accepted that are come to I guess more acceptance of
Speaker 4: that over the past.
Speaker 1: Couple of games.
Speaker 6: I don't know, you got to, Well that's yeah, that's
Speaker 6: they're not going to be around if they don't, you don't.
Speaker 6: But also it goes to the character of the locker
Speaker 6: room and and and to this is Jason Garrett phrase,
Speaker 6: but finding finding the right guys right too.
Speaker 9: And so.
Speaker 6: But what a Yushua was saying before about, you know,
Speaker 6: making sure you get the way Dak is involving them
Speaker 6: in the offense.
Speaker 7: You have to reward the players that do the dirty work.
Speaker 1: Say it, yeah you've got to or they check out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well you and maybe not necessarily check out, but
Speaker 6: just some some may eventually over time. But you know,
Speaker 6: every every the players know and the coaches know, right, Fans,
Speaker 6: media we you know, unless you're really able to study
Speaker 6: film or if you're in a locker room, you you know,
Speaker 6: they know who the key core guys are, right, And
Speaker 6: so that's that's what's fun about being on the sideline
Speaker 6: is to see the way the guys interact with each other.
Speaker 6: And so when the hard workers like that get the payoff.
Speaker 6: You see the way that coaches and players come up
Speaker 6: to them, you know, yeah, the previous week so and
Speaker 6: that was a splashy play, right, I mean that led
Speaker 6: every sports center and every sports highlight, but just some
Speaker 6: of the it may not seem like a huge play
Speaker 6: an eight yard or whatever.
Speaker 7: But the players know.
Speaker 3: It's also one of those for the greater good scenarios where.
Speaker 5: These guys know. And it's so funny.
Speaker 3: It goes back to Carpe omnia of seizing everything. You
Speaker 3: seize everything in the moment.
Speaker 5: You have to seize it.
Speaker 3: You don't necessarily chase it or you don't ask for it.
Speaker 3: You do it when your number is called. And so
Speaker 3: I think this team does a fantastic job of understanding
Speaker 3: how stacked the room is and whether it be wide
Speaker 3: receivers or tight ends. They understand that, and they're not
Speaker 3: jealous or unhappy for their brother. They genuinely are happy
Speaker 3: to see their brother next to them succeeding because they
Speaker 3: also know the greater goal that they're trying to work
Speaker 3: towards right now. And it's not hey, I want to
Speaker 3: have this many receptions.
Speaker 5: No, it's greater than that.
Speaker 3: It's we have an over three decade streak to break
Speaker 3: here by trying to win. This team of championship. I
Speaker 3: mean they will talk about it NonStop every week, go
Speaker 3: in the locker room. Not I can't recall one week
Speaker 3: this year that not one player has not mentioned going
Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl. I mean it's on a consistent basis.
Speaker 3: They are talking about it. Really, they're manifesting it. There's
Speaker 3: law of attraction manifesting us fair. It's we know, we
Speaker 3: have to take this week serious because we want to
Speaker 3: keep playing in the postseason. Yeah, they have to have
Speaker 3: that mindset.
Speaker 5: I'd be worried if they didn't. I would be worried
Speaker 5: if they were like, eh, it's whatever.
Speaker 3: They're not lacksa daisical and they're happy for each other
Speaker 3: and they're playing as a team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's urgency. There's urgency there to your point.
Speaker 8: And those the gentlemen that we're talking about, like the Turpins,
Speaker 8: the Tollbirds, the Michael Gallops of the Rico Daddles, Listen,
Speaker 8: they're gonna be needed. And that was another thing too,
Speaker 8: is like them not because there's such thing as getting
Speaker 8: cold is when you're not getting the book, the ball's
Speaker 8: not touching your hands and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So again, when you talk about Dak Prescott and the
Speaker 1: involvement of this offense. But you also too, I think
Speaker 1: they saw in this game.
Speaker 8: It's attracted me a bit, so we got to get
Speaker 8: the playmaker of the ball was ceedee Lamb was targeted
Speaker 8: with sixteen times.
Speaker 1: How many times he's targeted yesterday seventeen times twelve.
Speaker 8: Twelve receptions on seventeen targets, So that lets you know
Speaker 8: also too, some games are gonna be like that where
Speaker 8: it's like, we have to get this guy the ball consistently,
Speaker 8: and he.
Speaker 1: Was out there cooking.
Speaker 8: So yeah, there's again there's a lot of positives to take.
Speaker 8: I felt like Tony Pollard people like again, you can
Speaker 8: go look at the three point four yards of carry, yo.
Speaker 1: He had some tough runs yesterday. Tough runs yesterday. You
Speaker 1: can see him.
Speaker 8: I just feel like he's, yeah, it's clicking, it's clicking
Speaker 8: for him. But also too, I do think it's contingent
Speaker 8: of this offensive line playing better football, and those duo
Speaker 8: and combo blocks are really paying dividends for them starting.
Speaker 1: To open up some things.
Speaker 8: They attacked the edges so much later than what I
Speaker 8: would have maybe anticipated. But I will say I get
Speaker 8: what they saw on film because last week, uh, the
Speaker 8: forty nine ers had a lot of success running up
Speaker 8: the middle with Seattle, so I think Dallas.
Speaker 6: Saw they wanted to Were they doing something differently against
Speaker 6: Dallas than they did against could you tell?
Speaker 7: And again didn't probably have enough wat.
Speaker 1: I gotta watch a little bit more. I have to
Speaker 1: watch after we watch a little bit more.
Speaker 8: But I will say I was I was surprised that
Speaker 8: they started bouncing to the edges towards the you know,
Speaker 8: end of the game, and not to start the game,
Speaker 8: because to me, that's where now. I do think they
Speaker 8: might have respected how their dbs came up and tackled,
Speaker 8: because that.
Speaker 7: Plays a lot in their very physical corner.
Speaker 8: So maybe they didn't want maybe they didn't want our
Speaker 8: guys getting crammed on a lake of but and so
Speaker 8: they decided to do it late. But really, Tony Pollard,
Speaker 8: we've been talking about him all year, and I feel
Speaker 8: like he's starting to hit his stride and you're seeing
Speaker 8: him run with a lot of power, dipping his shoulder.
Speaker 8: What he did in pass pro again so impressive.
Speaker 1: How he's just.
Speaker 8: Willing to sacrifice his body in that way. And I
Speaker 8: was just watching him. I was watching him.
Speaker 1: He had Dak had to play.
Speaker 8: I think the CD in the flats, and he just
Speaker 8: had a fantastic block, like where he's flat on.
Speaker 1: The ground, he kind of flipped, he's flat on the
Speaker 1: ground and.
Speaker 8: He just he'll do whatever he needs to do to
Speaker 8: protect his quarterback. And I thought that was really dope
Speaker 8: to see from him. This offensive line is playing better
Speaker 8: football too.
Speaker 1: They gave up some sacks.
Speaker 8: That pocket was collapsing quite a bit to start that game,
Speaker 8: but they started figuring some things.
Speaker 1: Out later on.
Speaker 8: But I also put that one gentleman though, the Brooks Brooks.
Speaker 1: Brooks going out.
Speaker 6: Kind of helped him out a bit because yeah, he's
Speaker 6: he played well.
Speaker 8: Yes, he's a player, He's a player, and so yeah,
Speaker 8: this offensive line did what they needed to do far
Speaker 8: better in the second half.
Speaker 1: As you said, Christy, I felt like they played better
Speaker 1: football and they were able to run the ball effectively.
Speaker 6: And that's when Brooks was out because he got hurt
Speaker 6: late in the second quarter and didn't return.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well, the.
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys with their ninth win of the season. We're
Speaker 4: gonna talk about this defense coming up.
Speaker 7: In the next break.
Speaker 1: You're watching Girls Talk, Boys Talk.
Speaker 4: Person by Jigsaw, the preferred Dating Partner of the Dallas
Speaker 4: Cowboys will be right.
Speaker 1: Back at Jigsaw Dating.
Speaker 9: We obviously want the Cowboys to bring that sixth ring home,
Speaker 9: but to be honest, we're more focused on finding the

Speaker 1: You know that sound anywhere.
Speaker 10: It's the crisp crunch, that first nat shoe chip with
Speaker 10: its perfect cheese to sour cream ratio, sitting atop a
Speaker 10: layer of delicious beans. It's a sip away from perfection.
Speaker 5: That's what we're looking for.
Speaker 10: Add a delicious, refreshing pepsi, and we've achieved absolutely no
Speaker 10: nirvana because while you can pile those nachos high with
Speaker 10: every spicy, cheesy, savory topping, there's no topping of cool
Speaker 10: Petsy finish nachos better with pepsi.
Speaker 1: That's what I like.
Speaker 3: So I was trying to prove a point to Jazzy
Speaker 3: back there, Sean Polite is your twenty twenty three Cowboys
Speaker 3: Fan of the Year, and now he needs your help.
Speaker 3: Vote for Sean to be given the ultimate title of
Speaker 3: NFL Fan of the Year, presented by Captain Morgan by
Speaker 3: casting your vote at NFL dot com slash Fan at
Speaker 3: the Year.
Speaker 5: Go vote for our guy, Sean. Please and thanks, please
Speaker 5: and thanks.
Speaker 1: I ain't got a transition. I'm not even a lot
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 4: All the Cowboys get with the win or the Sea
Speaker 4: Hawks Jesus Christ. I love to say the forty getting
Speaker 4: the win over the Seahawks, and this defense really struggled
Speaker 4: throughout the entire game, but held held the Seahawks shut
Speaker 4: them down the last three possessions.
Speaker 1: As far as his defense, we got to talk about.
Speaker 4: Micah with that game ceiling pressure on Geno Smith.
Speaker 1: How big was that? I mean, you were on the sideline.
Speaker 6: I feel just oh yeah, yeah, Well someone needed de
Speaker 6: rise to the occasion.
Speaker 7: Jordan Lewis had done it earlier. We had mentioned about that.
Speaker 6: I think DeMarcus Lawrence really showed up, particularly with big
Speaker 6: plays in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 7: But when they needed it, Micah came through.
Speaker 6: And so some people would say it's a quiet game
Speaker 6: for him until that point, just because he didn't pile
Speaker 6: up a lot of stats, but he was still affecting
Speaker 6: things and that was just a heck of a play.
Speaker 6: I think the biggest thing with the defense yesterday was
Speaker 6: the giving up the big plays. Obviously and Deron Bland
Speaker 6: we talked about him earlier getting toasted by Metcalf, but
Speaker 6: just the inability to get off on third downs, allowing
Speaker 6: two thirds of third down conversions. I mean, the Seahawks
Speaker 6: just were able to sustain those drives. So that has
Speaker 6: to tighten up because you cannot allow those sustained drives,
Speaker 6: you have to do better on third down.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad the run defense is not going to
Speaker 3: be a topic of conversation anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they defended the run will it was great.
Speaker 3: But it goes back to what we said earlier in
Speaker 3: the week was there's two ways that the Seahawks offense
Speaker 3: could find success against the Cowboys defense.
Speaker 5: Test the run defense, which they tried to do, weren't.
Speaker 3: Successful at big explosive, explosive chunk plays down the field.
Speaker 5: That was killer. But what I do like is the
Speaker 5: in game adjustments.
Speaker 3: You usually hear oh halftime adjustments. Nope, what we see
Speaker 3: time and time again appreciate so much of Dan Quinn as.
Speaker 5: He doesn't wait until halftime.
Speaker 3: He's making those adjustments right then and there to make
Speaker 3: sure that you're not going into halftime getting beat, because
Speaker 3: at that point, you're not setting yourself up for success
Speaker 3: coming out of the half if you're waiting until then
Speaker 3: to start adjusting. Marquis Bell played one heck of a game.
Speaker 3: He was flying all over the place given everything he had.
Speaker 3: I mean he was sidelined a sideline throughout that game.
Speaker 5: OSA, I thought, I.
Speaker 3: Had a pretty fantastic, really well big physical guy.
Speaker 5: And then Jonathan Hankins.
Speaker 8: What another set Hank, big hay dog, never little doubt,
Speaker 8: big hank.
Speaker 1: And a half three three, three sacks and two might
Speaker 1: be doun high.
Speaker 5: Yeah, go ahead, just excited for him.
Speaker 3: I mean, really, you're talking about a guy that I
Speaker 3: was just talking about this in the press box after
Speaker 3: he had that sack. Was this is a guy I
Speaker 3: remember being on this podcast for and I Usha was
Speaker 3: given the the sales speech to Jerry Joe about making
Speaker 3: sure he was signed again for this season because you
Speaker 3: saw what an impact he could have last year. And
Speaker 3: you're seeing a guy now that's just so fully confident
Speaker 3: in this scheme. The guys around him, and he's just
Speaker 3: such a mentor for guys like Mazie and really that
Speaker 3: younger group.
Speaker 5: So for me, it's really cool.
Speaker 3: To see how much he's grown and gotten better. And
Speaker 3: I think that's something so special and under talked about
Speaker 3: when it comes to the Cowboys overall, is they take
Speaker 3: these veteran players and they polish them up and they
Speaker 3: redefine how good they really can be. Seeing that with
Speaker 3: hank You see that with Tank sorry to mess up
Speaker 3: the rhymes, see it with Dak. Just the ability to
Speaker 3: continue to make players better as they get older is
Speaker 3: such a special and unique quality of this coaching stuff,
Speaker 3: and I think Jonathan Hankins is a perfect example of that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, one of the big reasons why this secondary struggle
Speaker 8: man was because this defensive line, although they got a
Speaker 8: lot of pressure on next gen stats showed that they
Speaker 8: Gino Lo Smith was pressured fifty four point five percent
Speaker 8: of his dropbacks.
Speaker 1: Y'all.
Speaker 8: That's insane, But it just speaks to again number one,
Speaker 8: how quickly they got the ball out and which is
Speaker 8: again improvement by Gino. But then also too that this
Speaker 8: defensive line just didn't get home as much as what
Speaker 8: they would have wanted to, and I felt like that
Speaker 8: was the difference in the game because a lot of
Speaker 8: his throws were so last minute, like on the money
Speaker 8: and just he just made some crazy, tough throws. They
Speaker 8: found a way to generate pressure towards the end of
Speaker 8: the game, but their lack of pressure, well I can't
Speaker 8: even say pressure, because they got pressure, but their lack
Speaker 8: of getting getting home was really the deciding factor in
Speaker 8: this game. I expected for the Abe Lucas. Abraham Lucas
Speaker 8: coming back for them just seemed like it really stabilized
Speaker 8: this offensive line.
Speaker 1: In a way that I didn't expect.
Speaker 7: But he was out of the game fairly. He was
Speaker 7: exactly Jason Peters.
Speaker 1: And then Jason Peters came in, so Lucas fin.
Speaker 7: Lucas finished the game. Yes, Peters couldn't finish it, but yeah,
Speaker 7: they got a boost.
Speaker 8: It was just absolutely and I was just so I
Speaker 8: just it's so weird to me. I cannot put my
Speaker 8: finger on it. Why I look at these offensive lines.
Speaker 8: I study them very in depth.
Speaker 1: A lot of people do.
Speaker 8: And he'd be like, Oh, there's a weakness there, there's
Speaker 8: a weakness there, and then they play the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: There's no holes and I'm wrong with them. They find
Speaker 1: they hold it. And to your point, yes, there were
Speaker 1: some outs, gun scouted looks. I'm sure there were some
Speaker 1: things we're doing. I'm gonna go back and look today,
Speaker 1: but it's just was like.
Speaker 8: They definitely they made some serious adjustments on that offensive
Speaker 8: side and pass protection. Gino getting the ball out quickly,
Speaker 8: and that was the difference. To me, why this secondary
Speaker 8: struggled the way that they did in this game is
Speaker 8: because they got the ball out quick. They were efficient
Speaker 8: and I don't know they the Cowboys just weren't able
Speaker 8: to get home as much as they would have liked to.
Speaker 8: I think they would have shaken up Gino a lot more.
Speaker 1: Was he set once they said that got sacked.
Speaker 5: I mean there were quarterback hits.
Speaker 3: There were six quarterback hits throughout the game, three from Micah,
Speaker 3: one from Damon, one from Hank, and then one from Ocean.
Speaker 4: But they only gave up one sack. That allow thirteen
Speaker 4: in the last three games.
Speaker 3: It's just but it also to start back like their
Speaker 3: playoff contention matter. It did that last night's loss for
Speaker 3: the Seahawks puts them behind in playoff contention, and it's not.
Speaker 5: Good for them.
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about this defensive line.
Speaker 8: For the love of muffins, somebody the off sides, the
Speaker 8: neutral zone in fraction. This is to a point to
Speaker 8: where I get your antsy, I get your eager. But
Speaker 8: when guys, and this is what I learned, what I learned,
Speaker 8: especially with off sides, when guys started doing that stuff,
Speaker 8: they it's it's to me, it shows us a little
Speaker 8: lack of confidence in being able to go win. And
Speaker 8: I know that they're antsy and they're eager, but you
Speaker 8: can't do that. And as many times as it's happened,
Speaker 8: I mean there's offside calls almost every and you're giving
Speaker 8: this team. You're giving teams free plays, which the refs hate,
Speaker 8: but you're giving teams other opportunities to stay on the field.
Speaker 1: How many times did we see a.
Speaker 8: Penalty keep the Seahawks on the field this defense? It
Speaker 8: wasn't even when you look at some of the mistakes
Speaker 8: they made, they could have overcome them if they didn't
Speaker 8: have the penalties in a lot of situations.
Speaker 1: So again I understand this crew.
Speaker 8: They were trying to make sure they wives, an aunties
Speaker 8: and cousins seen them. But at the same time, this
Speaker 8: defense has to be more disciplined in these moments because
Speaker 8: you have an offense that can go take the game.
Speaker 8: They can go do it, but they put themselves in
Speaker 8: a tough spot in the second half to have to
Speaker 8: overcome things. They gotta be smarter in these games. You
Speaker 8: need to know where you're lining up. You're too grown,
Speaker 8: you're too grown, You've been playing this game too long.
Speaker 8: You need to know where you're lying. So I want
Speaker 8: to know if it's a discussion of them double triple
Speaker 8: quadruple checking where the line is, because sometimes I understand
Speaker 8: that it is some communication stuff with the umpire and
Speaker 8: no one where the balls being lined up, whatever the
Speaker 8: case may be. But these neutrals on infractions, these jumping
Speaker 8: off sides and stuff encroachment unacceptable from this defensive line.
Speaker 7: Absolutely.
Speaker 6: These are veteran players, these are not rookies in a preseason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, unacceptable, it really is.
Speaker 6: And so it'll be interesting because well Dan Quinn is
Speaker 6: going to speak on Monday, and so that'll be a
Speaker 6: question to ask about what what do you do? I mean,
Speaker 6: you can say it till you're billow in the face,
Speaker 6: but what do you do do you sit them down?
Speaker 5: I mean, at that point, you can't can you need
Speaker 5: to win?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Also crazy interesting is I don't know how I feel
Speaker 3: so disappointed myself for not seeing this before the game
Speaker 3: and talking about this this week.
Speaker 5: Seattle in Dallas top two most penalties.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, eighty two eighty two penalties each reputation mutation.
Speaker 3: But here's ninety one against Seattle total. They lead the
Speaker 3: league in most mountain penalties and ninety for the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: But I think the issue is exactly what you're talking about,
Speaker 3: the pre snat penalties, because the DPI is yesterday it
Speaker 3: was going on both sides, the questionable, it was going
Speaker 3: off both sides. I'm not even upset about those teams
Speaker 3: can complain at that point.
Speaker 5: I'm not kidding when I say I was in the
Speaker 5: press box. I was like, oh, there they go. Oh
Speaker 5: there it goes again.
Speaker 3: I mean it was predictable at that point, right, because
Speaker 3: you knew the kind of game that was being called.
Speaker 5: It's the pre snat penalties that it's.
Speaker 3: It's hard to ignore because when you're talking about the
Speaker 3: next couple of weeks of games that tange that this
Speaker 3: team has to face, specifically the Eagles, you cannot lose
Speaker 3: because of self inflicted wounds that you're doing to yourself.
Speaker 3: So you asked earlier, what who can defeat Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3: This doesn't have anything to do with Dak, But you
Speaker 3: know who can defeat the Dallas Coatboys at this point themselves?
Speaker 3: And they did it with the presnat penalties. They've done
Speaker 3: it all season. I know you guys are sick of
Speaker 3: hearing me say it. This dates back to even last season.
Speaker 3: We were talking about it. So something's got to get
Speaker 3: because they cannot allow deja vu to happen the same
Speaker 3: mistakes allow them.
Speaker 5: To go down to themselves.
Speaker 4: Yeah, nine penalties for one hundred and twenty seven yards,
Speaker 4: seven of them in just the first half a long Okay,
Speaker 4: they gotta clean that up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really looking at yes, DQ go. You gotta
Speaker 1: get your guys in order, man, Like this is this
Speaker 1: is not it's not okay.
Speaker 8: And when you talk about Philly just coming up, and
Speaker 8: I know we're maybe talking too far ahead, but you
Speaker 8: the best thing with that team is to keep them
Speaker 8: behind sticks. Oh yeah, deep behind sticks. And if you're
Speaker 8: doing things like this, it's not okay.
Speaker 1: It's not all right.
Speaker 6: And usually the line judge and down judge those are
Speaker 6: the officials that are on either side of the line
Speaker 6: of scrimmage generally will warn the players, you know, And
Speaker 6: so there's no way that it should happen more than
Speaker 6: once in a game, right, you know, any silent.
Speaker 1: Count what you said, it was a lot of Seattle fans.
Speaker 1: Is it loud enough in there to where they would maybe?
Speaker 3: No, it wasn't loud enough, but it was noticeable that
Speaker 3: there were fans there. It wasn't any louder than any
Speaker 3: other home game in my opinion for traveling fans. I
Speaker 3: was just wondering, like the thing, Well, the momentum show.
Speaker 6: So when the Cowboys defense, that's when it's really loud
Speaker 6: because the home team home crowd's trying to make it
Speaker 6: loud for the visitors to Seattle. But that's why they
Speaker 6: they actually practiced with the crowd noise when defense is
Speaker 6: out there and the week going into the home game.
Speaker 5: To be fair, though, there were a.
Speaker 3: Couple offensive drives though, and this is when I noticed
Speaker 3: how well the Seattle fans traveled because I could hear
Speaker 3: them the offenses on the field, and I was like, why.
Speaker 5: You guys cheering? What's going on?
Speaker 3: And then I look around and there's all this lime
Speaker 3: green standing up and it's like they can't miss it.
Speaker 6: It's like in a front to the retina. It's like, oh,
Speaker 6: it's just they call it action green, one of that
Speaker 6: thing whatever.
Speaker 5: It's ugly.
Speaker 7: This is this is true scientific fact.
Speaker 6: I don't want to go all NASA on everyone, but
Speaker 6: when you like, when the astronauts are in outer space,
Speaker 6: like say they and they're in the International Space Station
Speaker 6: and they look down on the Earth, there are only
Speaker 6: two man made objects that can be seen with the
Speaker 6: naked eye from space. So there's the Great Wall of China, right,
Speaker 6: they look down, they can see the Great Wall of China.
Speaker 6: And the second is that awful lime green outfit of
Speaker 6: the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: So it's awful weak. Now it's beful. I did not
Speaker 1: expect for you to say that at all. Awful. I
Speaker 1: was not expected.
Speaker 7: It's science. I'm sorry, folks, irrefutable.
Speaker 1: They are kind of bad.
Speaker 8: Did anybody ask Brian Anger how he enjoyed his day off?
Speaker 7: Hey, so zero punt's amazing.
Speaker 6: He was on the field for seven plays, all of
Speaker 6: them holding for field goals or pats. And then Michael Dixon,
Speaker 6: who's a really good punter for Seattle.
Speaker 1: He was on the play.
Speaker 7: He was on the field for six plays as a
Speaker 7: holder for their extra points and for.
Speaker 1: The Philly game.
Speaker 6: But it's so funny because well before the game, I
Speaker 6: was talking with John Fossil and he's so excited because
Speaker 6: it's like, man, this is both of these guys.
Speaker 7: They're such great punters. This is gonna be, this is
Speaker 7: gonna No, I'm not.
Speaker 5: I was too.
Speaker 6: It's like, this is gonna be just a just a
Speaker 6: showcase for these punters. And then there was not a single.
Speaker 3: Puntky, Well, are the punts in the room with us?
Speaker 5: Not nowhere?
Speaker 9: There?
Speaker 5: Are you not in a stadium last night?
Speaker 8: Either?
Speaker 1: You can go start a field position. You get start,
Speaker 1: You get start and field position.
