His victory Friday, y'all, His victory Friday, 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.239 the Cowboys moving to nine and three in the season 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.040 after the big win over. 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.280 The Seattle Seahawks. 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:57.280 It was not pretty. 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.200 It was not easy for the Cowboys coming in clutch 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.600 and getting it done down the stretch. So many a 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.760 lot of people doubting this team whether or not they 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.000 can finally get a win over a team with a 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.640 winning record, But they seem to get off to a 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.280 good start of getting that done. Christy, I first got 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.920 to ask you this though, because the Cowboys were trailing 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.200 actually for the first time this season at home, thirty 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.760 five thirty with under five minutes to go. What was 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.039 the atmosphere like because you were on the sidelines for that. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.399 Oh yeah, you know, it was one of resolve really 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.720 on the sideline. And even though the defense had been 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.760 torched basically through the first three quarters and most of 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.240 the fourth, you know, they they stepped up and made 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.319 the plays when they needed to, with those three stops 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.080 on the fourth down plays late in the game. And 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.800 you know, there's never any finger pointing or anything like that, 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:55.160 and there's never any offense questioning the defense or vice versa, 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.000 you know, like earlier in the season when it was 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.120 the offense that was struggling. So yeah, it was really 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.480 I mean they were tired, you know, I mean three 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.160 games in twelve days is a lot physically and mentally. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.560 But when they needed to, they rose up. And that, 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.960 I tell you, that did not feel like a football game. 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:13.400 That was more like a ping pong match. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.520 It was there, yeah, and there and there, and the 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.560 only interruptions were the yellow flags. 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:17.800 You know. 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:22.480 Oh, but a lot of eruptions, Yeah what you're saying, Yeah, wow, 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:24.320 But it. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.440 Was nineteen interruptions if you want to get business. 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.440 Yeah, crazy, well in technically twenty eight. 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.120 Yeah total, but of course someone else were negated. 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.840 Yeah, but yeah, it was It was one of resolving 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:37.640 confidence for sure. 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:38.840 Yeah, I agree. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.160 I think what was interesting is to see how well 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.359 the Seahawks fans traveled to this game. We're just talking 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.120 about that, and you could hear them doing their little 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:48.919 Seahawks chant after that field goal. 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:52.480 I want to say it was third quarter. 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.480 Oh really, well, they were doing it in the first 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.000 quarter after that DK metcalf. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:58.920 I didn't hear it that at that point. 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.120 At that point I was typing away on the computer. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.679 But in the third quarter, I was like, what, oh, yeah, 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.360 what is going on in here? But what I did love. 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.440 What I did love is to see the resilience from 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.880 this team. And we talked about that word so much 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:17.040 last season. What really gives me hope going forward for 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.560 the stretch of the schedule that's coming up is that's 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.600 a common reoccurring thing. We usually talk about that in 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.080 terms of negative things like the run defense or the 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.800 penalties that we've been talking about last season. The resilience 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:30.680 is still there as well, and so that fight Ben 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.919 but never break. Mentality from this team is again just 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.360 going back to the culture that they've really adopted in 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:41.320 the locker room with the coaching staff, and I think 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.360 this game was definitely showing of what we had talked 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.520 about that the Seahawks were gonna throw it all at 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.240 Youtely you had to be ready for it. And look, 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.160 I'm glad they had a game like this. It showed 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.600 them a lot about themselves. And if there's one thing 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.520 I do know about this group and this team is 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.360 that they're going to take all these less in the 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.600 next ten days and they're going to use it and 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.160 utilize it going forward for next Sunday against the Eagles. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:06.720 Yeah, your team grew up a lot. 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.440 I felt like this game and when you look at 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.280 I mean you just mentioned it, just they have a 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.960 lot they can learn from this game. Micah said in 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.400 the locker room that Seattle three else Mon scouted looks 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.599 to them shout out to shout out to just talking 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.880 about that, and you could feel their urgency, but also 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.880 to I got to give a lot of credit to 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.520 Pete Carroll and those gentlemen over there because that game plan, 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.760 the way that they came out and really just went 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:32.039 at it. 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:33.640 The aggressiveness Gino Smith. 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.920 One of the biggest grapes on him this seasons had 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.640 been him holding the ball along That offensive line played 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.040 pretty well for them, So definitely have to give credit 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.560 to them and what they did. But as far as 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.800 this Cowboys team, this is the best game of the 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.440 season to me all the way around, just because of 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.560 the way that they were tested and the different ways 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:50.599 that they were tested. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:51.480 And how they had to respond. 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.680 I think there's so much teach tape to take from 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.839 this game, especially in the secondary where there was some miscommunication. 0:04:58.000 --> 0:04:59.679 There were some things going on back there. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.200 We saw Dan Quinn in the second half decide to 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.279 let Stefan Gilmour. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.000 Travel with DK. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.000 They they found out some things about themselves and they 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.320 adjusted on the fly. I feel like that's gonna be 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.120 important moving forward and starting to get to this point 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.640 where I have this belief that in the fourth quarter 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:17.719 this team will deliver. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.120 They'll figure some things out, especially defensively. I mean to have. 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:25.279 Three to end the game on three turnovers on downs 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.479 and just to be that that firm and like, nah, 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:29.440 this is it. 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.400 We're trying to go ahead and end this game. You 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:32.000 mentioned it. 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:33.919 There is a lot of faith, it sounds like on 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.360 the sideline between the defense and the offense and special 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.160 teams to where they believe, Hey, we know you're gonna 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.760 get a stop. We know that Dak Prescott's gonna go 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.800 out and score. And so a lot of good things 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.960 to take from this game, some things that this team's 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:48.720 gonna be. There's good things to take away from it 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.200 that technically was negative that they can use later on 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.039 in the season. Some of the close call situations, some 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:59.080 of the end game you know, timing situations and stuff 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.440 that's gonna come in here and moving forward. 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.479 So I'm very. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.240 Positive on this game despite some of the negatives, and 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.159 we'll hopefully work from there. And I just think the 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:09.680 penalties are what they are At this point, I don't 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:10.280 even know what to say. 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:14.400 I think we talk about how teams play the Cowboys 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.360 like as their super Bowl and this was like the 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.159 perfect going back to what Jess said, this was like 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.479 the perfect example of that this team. The Seahawks had 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.800 only three offensive touchdowns in the last four games, came 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:26.680 in oh and two. 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:31.320 Gino Smith played lights out. It was kind of shocking. 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:32.400 Being mobile. 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.279 He had an offensive line that played very well. But 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.480 I think this Cowboys team, like y'all all said, they 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.800 showed a lot of resilience. But this offense putting up 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.719 four hundred and eleven yards of offense, it seems like 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.000 these guys are clicking at the right time. Dak Prescott, 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:52.760 of course getting guys involved again, eight different guys involved. Christy, 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.240 I'll start with you, what are you liking about this 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.680 offense in the way that they're clicking so far right 0:06:58.720 --> 0:06:59.720 down at this point of the season. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.680 I like that it's still Dak taking shots down the 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.120 field that really the last month and a half of 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.560 the season and when he's really been on this role 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.560 and there was a lot of traffic around him and 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.720 he was under duress early, but then I thought it 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.200 was a little bit better. But he he just had 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:24.480 another incredible game. And I'm still hoping that Michael Galluple 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.400 be utilized more, show up more. But the rest of 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:32.920 the receiving corps and Jake Ferguson what he's doing, you know, 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:37.320 he's becoming he's becoming the reliable guy like Dalton Schultz 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.440 had been for Dak Prescott. But I thought it was 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.720 interesting when I talked earlier and we all mentioned the 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.960 resolve and the resilience. It was interesting because you could 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:52.120 tell that the offense knew that they that they had 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:57.160 it because the way that Mike McCarthy some of the decisions, Now, oh. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:58.440 My good, that's what. 0:07:58.920 --> 0:07:59.160 Yeah. 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.360 Yeah, the the decision on whether to go for two 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.240 or whether whether to go for it on fourth down 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.520 instead of kicking the field goal, because we're like on 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.720 Cowboys Radio, We're like, whoa, this doesn't work. Yeah. 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.560 Yeah, I you know, we probably would have gone the 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:16.800 other way, but. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.559 You know, he had in his mind what he wanted 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:21.880 to do in the faith that we were going to, 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.320 you know, get the ball back and on offense. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.120 So I thought it was really interesting. 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.440 So yeah, and kind of kind of piggybacking off of 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:35.160 that this goodness, the Seahawks played a lot of zone, 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.800 so it made Dak really have to be precise on 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.000 his throws, and you saw a couple of overthrows by Yisha. 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.400 As far as later in the game, he was pretty precise. 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.280 What did you like about the way that, you know, 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.280 really da kind of adjusted. 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.599 Oh no, I mean, I'm glad that you mentioned the 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.320 zone that they were playing, because I feel like it 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.440 made a difference in the red zone and this Seahawks like, 0:08:58.720 --> 0:08:59.800 I don't get a twisted We. 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:00.440 Talked about this. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:06.839 They got some players and those dbs really didn't make 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.280 it easy for these Dallas receivers early on, like how 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.040 the Cowboys still found ways to get it done, but 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.720 specifically in the red zone. One thing about Seattle's defense, 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.120 they have a lot of length, the crap tunne length, 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.400 and when we talk about how small the red zone is, 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.760 they're able to take up a lot of space. And 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:24.880 so I felt like down there in the red zone 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.800 they had to figure some things out. I would have 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:28.959 liked to see the run game be a little bit 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.080 more efficient down there. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.439 Because when a team is playing zone like that, guess. 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.679 What that means that they don't have as many people 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.439 in the box typically, So we should be able to 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.880 take advantage of those opportunities they weren't able to. 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.520 Another thing again, an improvement they're gonna have to make. 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.080 And also try to figure out some zone beaters for 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:46.040 the red zone. 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:47.319 I think they have plenty. 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.240 Of man beaters plenty, but that moving. 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.680 Forward is important to me. They were four of eight yesterday. 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.160 I'm not gonna sit up here and just want about 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.400 it because they were just consistently going down there and 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.200 making something happen. But I believe they had to drive 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.680 with them the two was it, Yes, yeah, yeah, what are. 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:03.120 We doing here? 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:03.680 Yeah? 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.600 You know what I'm saying, Like, seriously, you should be 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.040 able to punch it in there. That offensive line was 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.160 playing well there, so some of the decision making, to 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.480 your point, could have been a little bit better. 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.920 And I know a lot of people was like, well 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:15.960 with the past. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.720 You know, in the last minute and a half of 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.080 the game, where you're giving Seattle the opportunity to first down, 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.200 drains that clock and it's done for the most part. 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:25.720 So again things to learn from. 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.800 As far as the quarterback, he's playing at a super 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:33.800 duper high level. He understands his protection, he understands where 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.640 the pressure's coming from. He's able to evade it again 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:37.720 using his legs. 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.640 But he took a lot of hits early in the game. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:43.839 And it's such a physical. 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.440 Game and I was looking at him. I was looking 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.480 at him on the sideline and I was thinking to myself, 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.240 I saw how dirty his jersey was. 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:50.680 I said, oh, they done did it now? 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.960 Because it listen, Dak when he can it's something about 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.200 when he gets hit in the mouth, it's. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.760 Just something like wakes up in him. And he's always 0:10:58.800 --> 0:10:59.120 had that. 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.320 But when he had that little that run to the 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.320 outside with Tolbert running behind Tolbert the r P O 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.400 and he kind of flexed on, Oh dude, I. 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:12.880 Said, yeah, that's Jack Jak doesn't really do that, and 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:17.720 it was it was Reek Woolen corner back and uh man, 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.520 that was like I had the exact same reaction. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.640 I'm like, it's on and it's the same thing with us. 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.640 When Jamal Adams got in his face and then Jake 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.079 Ferguson laid the game. 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:32.880 Just because the way that he bounced back. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.520 Because as soon as I went to the locker room, 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:37.520 I was asking. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.280 All about it. I was like, what was going on? 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.360 And it does come down to Seattle was playing physical. 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.280 And the thing is, from the guys I talked to 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.480 last night, they knew that they knew going into it 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.640 with their scouting report that this was going to be 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:55.319 a physical game. However, it just there were some moments 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.760 where it was like, oh goodness, when you. 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.640 Go on you call it playing through the through the 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:01.760 echo of the whistle. 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.559 It was that was intense But what I did appreciate 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:09.120 from this game, and I like that these guys play 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:10.840 smart football because it's high emotions. 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.600 When guys are hitting you hard and they're swinging and they're. 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.720 Being physical, it does take that discipline to know when 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.679 to step back and know when to not get another 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:24.440 penalty thrown on you for unsportsmanlike conduct or personal foul 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.960 or anything of that nature. So what I really like 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.520 about this team is it shows the discipline that they're 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.520 able to play with through these physical games that are 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.679 testing them. And they're going to need that against Philadelphia 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.120 next week because Philly is going to be very testy 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.120 for this team. And so talking to some of the 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:41.839 guys in the locker room, I was asking, like, what 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.079 happened at this point, and what happened at this point? 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.920 They said they they wanted the smoke, They got the smoke. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.960 And something that I really appreciate every single time, shout 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.880 out to Tyler Battish because he was ready to fight 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.640 for his guy. Jake Ferguson, and I talked to him 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.480 after the game. I was like, what's going on and 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.199 He's like, I was making sure Jake was okay. 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:03.679 I saw him hit his head I was making sure 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:04.640 he was good and. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.000 He's like, Nah, you don't touch Fergie like that. And 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:12.199 just the way they rally together, even in those moments 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.360 you're talking about Dak getting a little chirpy. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.000 They all follow Dak's lead and they all. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.400 Have that same mentality when they know it's time to 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:20.199 turn it up like that. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.200 Yeah, everybody follows suit. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.400 And I think the perfect example of that was Jake 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:25.960 Ferguson getting in that mindset. 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.680 Saw Tyler Biattish doing it on the other side. 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.280 As well, and so it's so interesting just to see 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.000 how far this team has come in terms of being 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.160 disciplined and smart football players, even when it's getting physical 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:40.760 and chirpy on the other side as well. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.520 You said physical, and it's crazy because right on the 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.960 screen over there, I can't see it obviously who's listening, 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:49.120 But they showed one of the set Seattle Seahawks players 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.440 getting a massage in the tent, so you can tell. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.959 I mean that game was physical and definitely gonna be. 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:56.880 Aware on the body. 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.640 If you had to choose, we'll break down this offense 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.560 in the next break and defense in the last. But 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.200 if you had to choose a player that stood out 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.240 to you the most in Thursday night's game, who would 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:09.400 it be? 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:10.560 It was Jake Ferguson. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:15.120 For me, he is he's arrived and his I feel 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:19.040 like his attitude it made a difference yesterday. It did 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:20.920 Like like you said, we ain't seen that get in 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:21.960 like nobody's face like that. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.600 I haven't seen him getting by his face like that. 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.160 But his just his demeanor and his attitude, and if 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.720 you go look at him and blocking chipping, I mean 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.680 it carries over. And I feel like when you have 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.720 a tight end that adding a tight end that can 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.760 kind of do it all to your offense. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.200 It takes it up another notch. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.680 Like this is starting to become where he's a regular 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.000 guy and he's dependable. I mean six six receptions on 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:48.000 eight targets, he averaged twelve point eight yards a catch. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.280 I mean, like this is crazy. This is this is 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.000 efficient football and he's. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:52.880 Helping out in big spots. 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.520 But you know how I know Jake Ferguson must be 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.680 showing something on film because look at how the Seattle 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:03.520 defenders was working. They were trying, yeah, to out physical 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:08.480 and they were trying to mister race many, but they 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.320 were trying to let him. 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.480 It was an effort to make him, make. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.160 Him understand that they were going at him, and he 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:17.160 never backed down. 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:18.280 I feel like he. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:19.240 Got better yesterday. 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.240 I feel like he's he's really coming along and what 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.360 he could do for this offense moving forward is going 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.080 to be it's gonna be very helpful down the stretch. 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.760 And to your point, Jess Dak said on the interview 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.520 post game, he said, this brotherhood is strong, and he 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.000 said it was such confidence and conviction and you can 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:35.960 see that on the field. 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.680 So that's my guy. Ferg. He stood out to me. 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.760 All right, you gotta stay with me for this one, right, 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:42.800 you gotta stay with me. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.360 Fred I was gonna go there, John Blaine. 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.360 And here's the thing. In the first half, I wanted 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.240 to make sure I got this right. He allowed five 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.720 receptions for one hundred and thirty seven yards alone in 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.120 the first half. He was targeted six times during that time. 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.800 He also allowed that seventy three yarder to dk Met that. 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.600 Just said hey, Seahawks are here. 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.920 And then he was responsible for a massive DPI call 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:12.160 which then again allowed Seattle to make that touchdown right 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.360 before the half. Okay, sounds horrible, right. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:16.800 So Jess why is he standing out to you? 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.760 Well, look at the resilience that he showed for a 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.320 young second year player to not let that kind of 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.000 first half determine the rest of his game. And he 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.920 kept going at it knowing they were targeting him. They 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.360 Gino Smith said, I'm gonna pick on the weaker guy. Yeah, 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.360 I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try to bully you. You 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.680 know what he did. He bullied the bully right back, 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:40.960 and he said resilience. And what was so cool is 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.320 to hear him talk after the game about how it 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.040 wasn't anything but him just trying to play at that point. 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.720 It didn't waiver his confidence, it didn't waiver what he 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.800 was thinking. He just wanted to continue to keep playing 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.840 and get better from the first half that he had. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:56.160 And guess what he did. 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.040 He got the only interception, the only takeaway in that 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.400 game for the DEFF, which was a momentum shift. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:03.960 Off instant score after that. 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.600 But it did allow for Seattle to not put more 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:08.880 points on the board, which. 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.440 Would have come back to bite had they not. 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.040 Scored at the Cowboys not scored back at the end 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.240 of the game at that point. But the point is 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:22.359 Deron Bland. I'm I'm appalled at some of the things 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.280 I was saying about him last night, because you're talking 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:28.040 about a guy who already broke an NFL record, still 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.120 five more games to play, talking about a second year 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.080 player who is able to continue to hold that kind 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:35.760 of confidence after that kind. 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:36.240 Of first half. 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.600 Really, I need to humble. 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.240 There's this odd need I've seen with sports fans alike 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.600 is that it's you need you have to humble this 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:48.560 player or this player needs to be humbled. 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.320 And so with the a lot of. 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.800 The comments with Dron Bland, they're like, oh, well, there 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.400 it is now, and it's like, do y'all not understand 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.600 what dB means and what it calls. 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:00.880 For sure of the position. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:05.000
