I kind of had to 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.360 find a way to push forward. I mean, when your 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.600 apartment's getting a flooded from your upstairs neighbors toilet, you 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.960 find a way to push through some how, some way, 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:01.920 find a way. 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.240 I'm just so happy you're here with us today. Jazz, 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.360 me too. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:08.480 It was a morning yell. 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.960 Let me say, getting back on track a little bit here. 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:11.440 We got off. 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.000 I just had to get Dress a shout out because 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:13.760 she has had a morning. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.840 I also just want to say to my dog. He 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.440 was right in the middle of it a little wit, 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.920 so he has like a little play area, and he 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.880 looked like Rose on the Titanic because he was just 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.120 on his bed, so he looked like Rose on the door. 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.760 Like it was. It was chaotic morning, But I'm Rose in. 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:34.880 Our thoughts and prayers in all seriousness though, ladies, Today 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.840 was Tuesday. Jerry Jones spoke this morning on the Fan. 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.440 The most obvious thing he talked about was Dak Prescott. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:42.919 I want to get to that in a little bit, 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.920 but first just kind of wrapping things up closing the 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.520 book as we turn the page into Detroit, which will 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.080 focus a little bit more on today, But from the 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.280 Cowboys side, I want to talk about the offense first. 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.040 Something interesting that I was just kind of coming to 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:02.639 the realization of earlier was, you know the struggles that 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.400 the offense is having. You forget that a lot of 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.400 these guys are brand new to the game, right Jake Ferguson, 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.600 Tyler Smith, even you know Tyler Piattish, Connor McGovern like 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:14.920 these are. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.440 There are a lot of names. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.520 Who are working into the offense. So a question that 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.720 I was thinking about as I was kind of prepping 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.560 for this show that I would love for you ladies 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.119 to answer, do you guys think this is a new 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.000 era of Cowboys football when it comes to the offense, 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.640 because I think when I think of, you know, elite 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.280 or iconic offenses, you think of Jason Witten, Tony Romo, 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.040 even going as far back as Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin. 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.720 Do we think that this mix of offensive players has 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.640 what it takes to kind of be the new era 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:45.680 of Cowboys offense? 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.880 I would say from I would say in regard to 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.840 the offensive line, if you're talking about Tyler Smith and McGovern, 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.480 those guys, Terrence Steele, who I think is important to 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.200 what they do right now. The Cowboys said in the 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.360 offseason they want it to get back to being a 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.120 running team, and I feel like what they're doing, some 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.680 of the guys they're drafting and putting together show that 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.320 they want to be a run first team. Maybe that 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.520 is a way of getting back to being having that 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.760 identity and stuff, and you're kind of starting to see 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.280 them find their identity in the run game. I think 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.960 you saw that later in the game against the Eagles. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.640 But as far as I mean, like I think this year, 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.720 they're right now, Ceedee Lamb, They're trying to see if Ceede. 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:26.480 Lamb is the guy. 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.200 I think he's played well in spots and everything, but 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:30.480 I think they're trying to see if he's the guy. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:35.320 Michael Gallup is already tighten the young tight ends, Henny 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.400 and Ferk those guys, those guys I feel like also too, 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.640 are in a position to where they're trying to show 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.440 maybe that they're a long term guy or whatever. So 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.080 maybe you're right, like they did draft a lot of 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.560 these gentlemen, bring them in undrafted free agents, Like I mean, 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.080 you're on correct, Like I guess we do get so 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.640 tied into watching them play well that we don't realize 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.760 that these gentlemen are young, they're still developing, they still 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.000 have room to get better, like you talk about Jess 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:03.760 and I yeah. 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:04.320 Yeah, I agree. 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.320 I guess yeah, I do agree to an extent I'm 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.400 trying to. I guess this year maybe is a feel 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.920 out year for some of these players. But I do 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.440 agree that it is funny that we forget that Tyler 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.000 Smith is a rook Like people were like beating him 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.680 up for letting like he definitely on the interception, he 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.640 got beat around the edge on that interception, and that 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.680 was a big reason why that pressure came. But like 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.440 he had a pretty solid game for the most part. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.120 It's just crazy, you're right, but yeah, go ahead. 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.840 Yes, I think when you're thinking of a long term 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.760 future with the Cowboys, it is easy to see why this, uh, 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.560 this younger team is going to be the future. You know, 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.320 maybe O line that you had when you had Tony 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.440 and Jason, like you just mentioned, and that's the era 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.120 I grew up watching football, and so I remember that 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.479 O line being like, Nope, this is a great wall. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.400 Nobody's getting past it. But what you forget about those 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.600 kind of offensive lines is there was a time when 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.280 they were young too, right, Like you just remember the 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.760 glory days because they were so good. But what you 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.960 forget is there was a time that everybody was young. 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.360 And so it's what's really cool to see is these 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.359 younger players stepping up, and even Tyler Smith for a 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:15.080 great example. You know, back week one, everyone's like no, 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.600 you know, no, Tyler Smith, and he has been out 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.280 of the conversation for good reasons because he's doing what 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.440 he needs to do. Sure, they're slip ups, you know, 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.520 we get that, and that's going to happen. 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:27.880 He is still a rookie. 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.440 Everybody like, just give him some time, but he's done 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.280 nothing to prove that he didn't deserve that spot. And 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.120 what's even crazier is when you see the conversation starting 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.800 to come up of all right, well, Tyrone Smith, when 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.720 he comes back, what's gonna happen. So I think that's 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.200 a very interesting conversation that I saw pop up, pop 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.599 Oh my goodness, pop up on Twitter. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:49.279 Y'all. 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.400 It's been a day pop up on Twitter because I 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.760 didn't even think of that. And when you have a 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.880 rookie that is making you kind of forget that you're 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:03.800 a veteran, you know, guard is out. That's that's kind 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.120 of insane when you think about it. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.599 Yeah, Jerry Jones talked a little bit about that. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.520 He was, you know, kept his cards very close to 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.360 his chest than this morning in regards to Tyron Smith, 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.560 and you know how he'll look and how they plan 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.920 to integrate him when he comes back. So obviously that's 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.800 a conversation that I'm sure will be a hot topic 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.080 as we get closer to that return. 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.080 The positives though, is that he said, you know, he's 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:25.640 liked what he's. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:30.680 Seen so far from Tyrone Smith's rehab, so that's good. 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.760 And also, speaking of Jerry, I wanted to read this 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.960 quote really quickly this morning when he was talking about 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.120 the team and the offense kind of developing with the 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.559 you know, the eyes on Dak Prescott making his return, 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.880 he said, quote, we are a better team than we 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.800 were five weeks ago. We have improved the right way. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.840 We've done it with repetition. We've done it with young players. 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.440 We've done it with players that have worked in to 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.040 the kinds of things the coaches want them to do. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.480 We've had a lot of depth that gets that has 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:57.480 gotten a lot of repped. 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:58.560 We're a better. 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:05.559 Team than we were when lost against Tampa period fact. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.200 Quote. 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.440 So again, I just wanted your thoughts on that, if 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.760 you agreed on that side, or if so, how they improved. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.760 Now, I like you talked about it earlier, adversity like 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.000 they have went. Like I'm not gonna sit up here 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.600 and say that they're just completely battle tested, you know, 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:25.720 but teams don't win without their starting QB, and this 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:30.280 team had to figure out different ways to win these games. Obviously, 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.080 you got you know, good play, certain splash plays from 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.360 special teams, defenses, came through in a mighty way. But 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.080 then also I want to highlight Kellen Moore and just 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.080 the maturity that it's taken from him. Like obviously he 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.959 still has his blemishes in certain spots, but he really 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.880 has changed how this offense is being run. It is 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.440 predominantly through the run. It's predominantly through the run game. 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.480 But just some of his concepts, his blocking concepts. If 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.120 you look at some of the past plays, I mean, 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.680 there's guy's open. He is scheming better and differently, a 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.120 little differently than what he did last year. So I 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.959 think that they have came out collectively and came together 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.400 to make make it through this point in time without 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.240 Dak Prescott and I do agree that it makes them. 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:14.320 It makes them look better. 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.199 The fact that they did what they've done without their 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.360 starting quarterback, without good field position almost every game, with 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.360 losing time possession almost every game, like finding a way 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.800 to win. There's something to be said about that. And 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.680 in this league, it typically is with coaching. It's typically 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.360 with guys coming together and playing together as one. And 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.720 you've heard this team echo the same things in these interviews. 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.440 Is that this is an unselfish team. They had to 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.360 come together to win this game, and I think the 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.000 unselfishness is going to help later on in this season. 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.600 Yeah, And I think I'm looking at the definition of 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.559 resilience here. It says the capacity to recover quickly from 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.680 difficulties toughness. So when you think of Week one, and 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.120 we talk about this a lot, you're walking out of 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.920 that Tampa Bay game, the news of Dak's thumb injury 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.200 comes out. Everybody walking out of that game was like, Oh, 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:06.199 the season's done, that's it, Like we just saw the 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.000 one game with decat like it was the worst possible 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.520 case scenario walking out of that game and just such 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:16.880 a heavy feeling. Well, no, because nobody expected the Cowboys 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.200 to do what they've done. And it doesn't necessarily mean, 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:24.000 you know, there's of course, there's only what there's only 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.520 fewer preseason games that we see, so that Week one 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.000 doesn't define really any team in the NFL, and I 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.240 think that's so important to learn. So I think it's 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.280 hard to say how they're better for, say, but I 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.880 know that they're resilient because of everything that they've had 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:39.880 to come, all of the adversity. I mean, you lose 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.400 your starting quarterback week one, Come on, guys, many how 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.800 many teams can pull together and actually win like they have. 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.800 And again we've talked about why Cooper Rush deserves the 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.360 credit for that, and we'll get to that later. But 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.920 you know, I think when you when you look at 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.160 this team as a whole, it wasn't necessarily that they 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.920 were never good. It wasn't necessarily that that talent was 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.880 ever there. It's always been there. It's just been one. 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.240 You have a bunch of young players, like we talked about, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.040 they have to get used to that, whether they had 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.760 preseason reps or not, you're going up against the starters 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:13.240 when the regular season starts. Two, you have, you know, 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.120 all of these outs, all of the outside noise of 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.560 everything that we hear, and we consume that's not what's 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.079 going on in the locker room. And I think it's 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.640 hard to kind of remember that sometimes the messages that 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.719 you know, people talk about. 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.680 As fans, that they think they know is not what's 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:29.880 going on in that locker room. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.720 And I think that brotherhood has always been there since 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.000 day one. And I think the closeness and tight knit 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.680 of this team is something that it's not necessarily better. 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.720 It's always been there. And I think you're just seeing 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.000 the start of it. I think as far as getting better, 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.840 they're just going to start to find that groove to 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.640 see how beastly they're about to be. Because you know, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.160 until we have Dac back in, until the Cowboys have 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.640 Dack back in, I should say we won't necessarily know 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.679 what they look like. I still think the best is 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.160 yet to come for this team, and that says a 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.040 lot considering you know, they're still in the conversation for 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.880 being one of the best teams in the NFC right now. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.920 Yeah, and I love that you mentioned the adversity that 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.200 goes into that, because when you look at the opposite 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.160 side of the ball, you've got a team of you know, 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.480 mostly veteran experience, and then you have guys like Micah 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:19.440 who's already playing like a veteran and in games like 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.560 Sunday when they let up the most touchdowns, you know 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.800 that they have all season. And listening to Dan Quinn yesterday, 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.920 you could tell he was just so fired up. 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:30.800 He was so feisty. 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.080 I think the first thing that came out of his 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.600 mouth was that he was pissed. Yeah, because of you know, 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.000 he kept saying, you know, we know the standard that 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.480 we can play at. We know what we are capable of, 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.800 and when we don't play to that standard, it makes 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.800 us mad, Like it makes it mad. And my favorite 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.480 thing that he said, and it just goes to your 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.600 playing against adversity and holding yourself accountable. He talked about 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.640 how everyone was patting them on the back and saying, 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.840 you know, like, oh, that second half effort was really good, 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:57.040 and he said, we don't care. 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.760 We don't care. We shouldn't have to be getting. 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.240 A pat on the back for our second half effort 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.040 if we take care of business in the first half. 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.599 So you know, when you talk about accountability, adversity, resiliency, 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.840 I think all of those things kind of layer in together. 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.360 Yeah, and I think that you know, to pick a 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.080 back out for what you said with dan Quinn. And 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.760 I listened to his press conference as well, and you 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.959 could feel that he was fushed all he was frustrated 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.840 because one thing about dan Quinn as well is like 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.360 he's an assignment based coach, like and the tackling in 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.240 this game was was a problem in this game. Gap integrity, 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.440 Jay Ron Kurst talked about on Cowboys Hour. 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.960 Please check out Haley Suddon so good. 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.840 If you want to learn more, absolutely like, if you 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.360 want to learn more about these players and also get 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.600 some context on some of the things within the game, 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.240 please check her out. Jay ron Kurst talked about, you know, 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.040 them not playing their assignments, guys kind of being out 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.520 of spots, out of position because they're trying to make 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:56.120 a play. I feel like, yeah, I felt I felt that. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:57.920 I felt him. I felt him. When he was like, 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.600 I'm pissed, I was like, I'm sure they're gonna be pissed, 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.720 but in this game, I felt like the defense really. 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.440 I mean, all things considered, you can't be I can't 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.520 be too upset about some of the things that happened 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:09.840 with them. 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:10.480 I think that. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.200 But I also will say credit to the Eagles. Their 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.480 their offensive scheme is legit, and it's it's hard coming 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:19.200 through my teeth. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:25.600 It is Garrett's teeth. 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.200 But what they do with the r p O, with 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.160 how they pull and pin guards, how they put your 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:36.320 defense in tough situations. I do think this is gonna 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.720 be a great learning experience that that's gonna be a 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.680 rumble Christmas Maybee. I don't mean my family don't even 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.560 said about Christmas. That might be it for me, You 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.480 understand me, Give me some eggnogg and. 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:47.080 Call it a day. 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.440 But no, don't already came at me for what we 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:52.760 like pumpkin spies. 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.720 Your no, no, Look, I tried it live on air 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.400 one time. I was on local news and that was 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.320 the worst to say because I almost threw. 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:02.000 Up on Tamart. 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.920 So they took advantage of the Cowboys aggressiveness early in 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.440 that game. And I'm glad, like I really think this 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.320 is gonna be fantastic teach tape for these young defensive players. 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.320 Sam Williams is gonna get a. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.560 Lot of good teach tape out of this game. But yeah, 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.280 I felt Dankoye yesterday when he said that. I was like, yeah, 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:18.560 I'm I'm I'm mad too. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:19.440 This is hard to watch. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:23.200 I'm mad it's hard to watch. 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:23.640 Yeah. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.000 Well, and I again credit to the Eagles because really, 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:31.760 I think as a cow on the Cowboys side of things, 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.040 on the Cowboys side of things, you you don't want 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.000 to admit how good they actually are. But here's the thing. 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.880 They're they're they're doing great. And I think a lot 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.520 of that credit goes to Jalen Hurts and the kind 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.160 of quarterback he is, how he's played. I mean, right now, 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.840 he's ranked ninth in completion percentage through six games at 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.640 sixty six point eight percent. Last season during that time, 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.040 during this same week, he was ranked twenty six. So 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.280 to show you the progression he's made within a year, 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.080 you have to give credit where to do Jalen Hurts, 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.920 I think is just such a big reason that you 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:05.560 know the Eagles are playing like they are. He's also 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:09.600 ranked third in yards per attempt at eight point two three, 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.760 and I mean, honestly giving credit words due, He's a 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:18.600 large reason why the Eagles are still undefeated. However, I 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.840 like to believe that we're not going to keep saying 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.280 that for much longer. But I know Haley wanted to 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.600 talk about their schedule and kind of looking ahead. I 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:28.320 don't know, God. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:29.120 At this schedule. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.240 Yeah, I don't know. Guys, that's I want to add. 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.720 I think you're I mean, yeah, the RPO is very 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.280 important to what they do, and him being a running 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:41.640 quarterback is going to It's not the norm, like like 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.040 we talked about, like the Cowboys won't see that many 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:49.120 quarterbacks that have that capability or even just that that 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.960 scheming like that they were using against them. If they 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.200 see it again, hopefully they respond well to it. But 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.200 field position was huge in this game as well. You 0:16:56.240 --> 0:17:01.600 put your like the offense put the Cowboys defense on within, you. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.120 Know, on the forty like. 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.480 I mean, I think the Eagles were within the Cowboys 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.080 forty like four times this game. 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.120 That's not it's is it? Is it possible? 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:11.840 I think they helped them to feel goals twice in 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.600 those situations. But when you talk about complimentary football as well, 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.679 I think that we have to acknowledge defensively, they were 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:18.840 put in some rough spots. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.760 They don't make excuses. It's not their jobs. So I'll 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:22.080 say it. 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.360 God, yeah, yeah, I was just gonna say really quick, 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.959 we're gonna have to take our first break. But and 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.840 this is a question I would love for our social 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.679 media listeners to get involved with. Are the Eagles as 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:33.679 good as they are on paper? I'm going to read 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.080 their schedule out really quickly. They opened the season with 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.080 the Lions, and then they played the Vikings, the Commanders, 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:43.200 the Jaguars, the Cardinals, and last week against the Cowboys. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.879 They do have the potential to be ten to o well, 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:51.880 you know with the Steelers, Texans, Commanders, colts lineup before 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:52.760 they get the Packers. 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.440 So I would love to. 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.200 Hear from our social media from our listeners right now, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.760 tweet us DMS do you think the Eagles are actually 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.680 as good as their six to zero record on paper. 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.200 I'm gonna let us do on that as we take 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.600 our first break on Girls Talk, Boys Talk.

You can just tell, uh, 0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:39.280 where does that passion come from? Because I think sometimes 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:41.600 with community service it can be challenging because you need 0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:44.719 volunteers there's a lot of moving parts that go into it. 0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:47.600 Where's your passion come from? 0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:49.439 You know, that's a great question. I don't know that 0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:52.359 I've ever been asked that. It definitely comes from within. 0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:57.479 And I think above all, I like helping people, and 0:25:57.520 --> 0:25:59.920 so this is a great place to be because we 0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:02.679 do so much to help others and it's not me 0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:06.119 that's helping them, it's our organization and the Jones family 0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:08.240 that supports. I am just fortunate to be in the 0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:11.679 position to be the person to facilitate the helping or 0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:16.159 facilitate helping create the character conversations that we did today 0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:19.040 and hopefully we touch someone's life, you know, talking about 0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:23.760 mental health or anti bullying. So I just am thankful 0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:26.520 to be the person in the middle of it, you know, 0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.280 connecting the dots, and I think it, yeah, I just 0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:31.159 like I just like to be a helper, you know, 0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:32.320 just like to help people. 0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:35.240 And that's you know, that's me my whole life. 0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:38.320 Oh that's beautiful, and so did you ever think that 0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:41.400 you would work within the realm of sports and community relations? 0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:44.040 How did that story come up? Because I think it's 0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:44.680 so beautiful. 0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:46.960 Like you said, you have this incredible platform with the 0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:48.760 Dallas Cowboys to be able to get back to so 0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:52.239 many different groups and so many different peoples in so 0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:54.639 many different ways. Right, So did you ever think that 0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:58.119 you would tie sports in and then community relations and 0:26:58.160 --> 0:26:59.560 make this beautiful little marriage. 0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:01.200 Not at all. 0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:04.400 All I knew is I wanted to do public relations 0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:07.280 and community relations and not even public relations. They didn't 0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:10.000 have community relations when I went to college, so it 0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:15.119 was a journalism degree, and you know, I, yeah, I 0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:17.120 just wanted to do public relations. I knew I wanted 0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:19.720 to work in house corporate PR, not at an agency. 0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:22.000 So I had that defined. And then I was a 0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:25.280 candidate at my college for a minority recruiting program that 0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:28.760 the National Football League was hosting, and so that's and 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.760 I was like, sure, I'll try, and that's how it started. 0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:33.320 And so then I went to work in New York 0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.080 City at the league office, and there I was in sports. 0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:38.600 Now they knew I loved football. I was, I was. 0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:42.440 I was an athlete and then a cheerleader in high 0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:44.480 school and college, and so they knew I liked football. 0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:46.320 So I think that was one thing. And when from 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.639 your when you're from Texas, you know you grew up with. 0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:53.879 No to answer your question, I never thought that my 0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:57.160 my you know, my degree would be what I was, 0:27:57.280 --> 0:28:01.240 you know, doing my life career with no not ever 0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:02.400 today think about that. 0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:04.880 What's been your favorite part of this journey so far? 0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:09.680 Oh my gosh, we'res a decade. I'm in my third decade. 0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:13.480 You know, Well, there's so many great things. 0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:18.280 I mean from the community, you know side, I think 0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:21.480 working with you know, Salvation Army and just being a 0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:22.120 part of all the. 0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:23.120 Great things that they do. 0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:26.840 They help so many people in need, and the need 0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:29.480 is so great, so I see that on a daily basis. 0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:32.600 And then getting to see you know, make a wish children, 0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:35.920 all the wishes we do, see them smile and have 0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:37.160 happiness while they're here. 0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:40.760 That's amazing. And I know they're not here to see me. 0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:42.920 I know they're here to see the players, which I'm 0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:45.480 so happy to get to help help to be a 0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:46.360 piece of that magic. 0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:49.200 But something's really funny. 0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:52.120 When I first started here, me and the guys were 0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:54.440 all the same age. We were like brothers and sisters, 0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:56.840 you know, like you know, Troy, m and Michael, We're 0:28:56.880 --> 0:29:00.320 all born in that decade. And then you know, they 0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:03.240 retire and we keep working so then it's the next 0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:06.880 decade of players. So I was the sister and then 0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:09.480 the aunt, and now I'm kind of the mom and 0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:16.200 now they call me Miss Simbily And I think maybe 0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:18.160 one day, if I'm the grandma, I may retire. 0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:19.560 And I don't know, I don't know. I think I 0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:20.400 got a lot more in me. 0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:22.959 So I've seen them interact with you, though, like as 0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:25.320 you're waiting outside the locker room to get them to 0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:28.040 sign up for stuff, and you again, like you can 0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:28.720 just tell that. 0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:29.640 They flock to you. 0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:32.280 So I think the Miss Emily, I can't wait to 0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:34.000 be like a Miss Hayley one day to some. 0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:35.440 Of these guys, because it's so cool. 0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:38.160 You get to see we were just talking earlier about 0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:40.840 the offense currently and they're so young and you forget, 0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:44.000 but that's such fresh perspective because you know, hopefully in 0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:46.520 ten years and we're still doing this, and you see 0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:47.920 those guys kind of grow up right. 0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:50.200 Before you and they're like the same age as my 0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:52.200 son now. So yeah, And. 0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:55.120 So last week we had asked Moe, who was our 0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:58.640 previous guest, what any what is any advice you have 0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:03.000 for someone specifically women that want to break through in 0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:05.920 this career path and and kind of follow your footsteps. 0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:09.680 What is the best advice you can give them? 0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:13.760 Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't or 0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:16.400 because really my dream was to become I was a 0:30:16.400 --> 0:30:21.120 broad I wanted to be a broadcaster and someone you are, yeah, 0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:26.320 and so I you know, I let someone tell me 0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:28.680 that I couldn't, and I regret that. So I would 0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:30.920 definitely say, if that's your passion and that's what you 0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:33.680 want to do, push, you know, push for it, and 0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:36.840 don't ever settle. You know that you know second best. 0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:38.400 Now it all worked out. I love what I do, 0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:41.520 and it, you know, probably was you know, my path 0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:44.120 and my journey. But I think stick to what you 0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:46.840 want to do and be patient because sometimes it doesn't 0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:50.120 always happen like that. You know, everybody wants this, you know, 0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:55.760 you know, instant gratification. So I think being patient and 0:30:56.160 --> 0:31:00.880 being strong and being willing to learn as you grow, 0:31:01.040 --> 0:31:04.640 and if your dream job isn't always available, be willing 0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:07.160 to do something else and add that to your toolbox 0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:10.080 along your way, because you'll eventually get where you want 0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:13.720 to go if you're determined. But utilize every opportunity to 0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:14.760 add to your toolbox. 0:31:15.400 --> 0:31:18.520 Oh beautifully said, I speak just right to the heart. 0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:22.000 It's definitely beautiful to see and need it. Yeah, it's 0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:25.640 it's so empowering and inspiring to hear you and hear 0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:27.840 your journey of how you never even thought that this 0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:30.200 is a possibility and yet you still love it so 0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:33.120 so much. And so if you have one favorite memory 0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:35.440 that you can key in on out of out of 0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:38.360 everything that you do, what is the first thing that 0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:39.200 comes to mind. 0:31:39.360 --> 0:31:47.680 You can tell us version one favorite memory. Gosh, I 0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:50.840 have so many. I mean every week is a memory. 0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:54.160 And I think that says, you know, I don't know 0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:55.960 that I would be able to do this job if 0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:58.760 it was the same all these years. So I think 0:31:58.840 --> 0:32:01.720 every week is we create memories. You know, we like, 0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:03.640 for make a wish, we plan every wish the same, 0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:11.640 but something different happens every every game. So I just think, gosh, 0:32:11.760 --> 0:32:13.480 probably getting my first super Bowl. 0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:20.240 Ring memory, her first sea start for that one. 0:32:23.720 --> 0:32:25.600 All right, So next time we see you, Emily, I 0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:27.880 really want you to bring all of the super Bowl 0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:29.800 that you have and I want you to just sport 0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:32.760 them up for us. That's that's more than a memory. 0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:33.440 That's beautiful. 0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:36.920 Yeah, Emily, as we wrap up really quickly, maybe some 0:32:36.960 --> 0:32:39.600 special projects or some events that you have coming up 0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:41.360 that we can let Cowboys Nation know about. 0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:44.640 Oh gosh, Okay, So the holidays are just around the corner. 0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:48.080 So I would encourage everyone to one donate to those 0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:52.240 Red kettles when you see them, when they get out there. 0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:55.080 Red Kettles across the nation raised so much money for 0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:57.480 so many people in the need right now is greater 0:32:57.560 --> 0:33:00.200 than ever with you know, the prices of food and 0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:03.480 people needing food. So I would say, please donate to 0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:05.960 the Red Kettles. And even if you did twenty five 0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:09.080 dollars a month as a gift for someone, if you 0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:12.200 can afford that, I mean, it's ongoing. The need is 0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:15.400 all year long. And then I would say, also for 0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:18.520 the Salvation Army at if you are able to adopt 0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:21.120 an angel and buy a wish or a need for 0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:25.680 a child, to be able to help parents provide Christmas 0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:28.040 for children. I would say those are two things we 0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:32.000 really encourage everyone to be to participate in. Wherever you're listening, 0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:34.480 you can do it.

So all 0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:45.880 signs are looking that way. Mike McCarthy telling us that 0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:50.000 he should have cleared his medical protocols going forward, he 0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:54.040 should be at practice as a full go tomorrow. Jerry 0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.640 Jones was a little bit cryptic. I think this morning 0:36:56.680 --> 0:36:58.879 you didn't quite want to come out and announce Dac 0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:01.160 as the starter, which makes perfect sense. You want to 0:37:01.160 --> 0:37:03.879 give him a week to get back adjusted, to knock 0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:05.719 some of that rust off, see where he's really at. 0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:08.759 But he threw on Sunday before the game. Everyone I've 0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:10.680 spoken to who saw him said he looked good, he 0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:13.080 looked ready. He probably could have played on Sunday. 0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:17.319 So that's just positive. But a question that I. 0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:22.200 Have been pondering, and I love y'all's insight, how does 0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:24.640 this offense improve with Dak? Because we've seen what Cooper 0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:27.560 Rush has done obviously with the tools that he's had, 0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:30.640 he's been consistent. How do we get the offense to 0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:31.839 take that next step with Dak? 0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:35.759 Oh? I was like, go ahead, girl. It's because I 0:37:35.800 --> 0:37:39.040 was reading Dek's caption you said he posted on Instagram 0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:42.319 and it was control the controllables. And I think that 0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:45.400 is such a valuable statement. It's so little, but it 0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:47.520 says so much because I think when you add Dak 0:37:47.600 --> 0:37:50.600 back into the mix, what you do is a few things. One, 0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:53.920 you get your stability back at quarterback. It's no longer 0:37:53.960 --> 0:37:55.920 a guessing game. Of Oh, when is he going to 0:37:55.960 --> 0:37:58.320 be ready? You know, how long is this going to happen? 0:37:58.360 --> 0:38:00.279 Not that I think that was happening for the team 0:38:00.280 --> 0:38:02.440 at any point. I think that's more on the outside noise, 0:38:02.480 --> 0:38:04.799 like I'd mentioned earlier. But what you get is you 0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:08.719 get your leader back, and that just having Dak in 0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:11.560 a room is so powerful I think for anybody. And 0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:14.440 no knock on Cooper Rush again, I want to preface 0:38:14.480 --> 0:38:17.480 this by saying, Cooper Rush, we appreciate everything you have 0:38:17.600 --> 0:38:20.200 done for this team up until this point, but when 0:38:20.239 --> 0:38:22.440 you have Dak in, it's just such a different vive. 0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:25.520 It's such a different energy that he brings to this team, 0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:28.600 and so I think give him a little time, a 0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:30.480 little space to knock off some rust. I don't think 0:38:30.480 --> 0:38:32.000 it's going to take him long. I think he's itching 0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:33.799 to get out there. But what I'm excited to see 0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:36.360 out of Dak is, like we had mentioned earlier, Aisha 0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:38.480 had brought up that article a while back, is how 0:38:38.520 --> 0:38:40.480 he said, I took a step back. I saw things 0:38:40.480 --> 0:38:43.640 from a new perspective, and it can just be simple. 0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:46.799 So what I'm really excited to see is Dak's new 0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:51.200 perspective show when he's playing and not maybe changing the 0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:53.800 play calling as much and not calling off certain things 0:38:53.800 --> 0:38:57.160 and instead just believing in his own skill set, because 0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:59.160 I think the best version of Dak comes when he 0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:03.320 believes in himself. He has the complete total trust and 0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:06.120 belief from the rest of his team, from the rest 0:39:06.120 --> 0:39:09.560 of his offense. I think when when you see Dak struggling, 0:39:09.920 --> 0:39:12.319 it's a it's a mental fight, and that's I think 0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:14.640 that's so important for anybody to shed light on because 0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:17.600 that's so relatable. I mean, really, when when you look 0:39:17.600 --> 0:39:20.800 at your worst days, who's your worst critic? Yourself? And 0:39:20.960 --> 0:39:23.879 and I think Dak Prescott coming back off of yet 0:39:23.920 --> 0:39:28.200 another adversity in his life, is just going to show 0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:31.440 something that is so beautiful. And I'm on the Dak 0:39:31.520 --> 0:39:33.759 hype train. I'm so excited to get QB one back. 0:39:33.840 --> 0:39:37.839 What about you, I think, sigematically, you should be. 0:39:38.880 --> 0:39:41.360 I think that I'm excited about it because when you 0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:44.520 look at the film, you see so many instances where 0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:46.840 you say to yourself, Okay, I think Dak would have 0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:48.960 made that second read. Okay, I think Dak could have 0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:51.279 got that two yards here. I think you get in 0:39:51.320 --> 0:39:54.360 those third those all those third and short situations yesterday, 0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:58.080 they're like or RPO situations there, and Cooper Rush is 0:39:58.120 --> 0:39:59.719 not the guy that's gonna do that. And if you 0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:02.719 also look at the Eagles defense as a whole this 0:40:02.800 --> 0:40:05.200 last game, you could tell that they knew what they 0:40:05.200 --> 0:40:08.920 were getting at quarterback. They knew the type of quarterback 0:40:08.960 --> 0:40:12.000 they were playing again, so schematically, I think that you 0:40:12.160 --> 0:40:16.120 get more in your passing game in this And then 0:40:16.160 --> 0:40:18.880 also too, I think Dak is returning to an offensive 0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:21.760 line I talked about yesterday that is more put together 0:40:21.800 --> 0:40:23.960 than it was at to start the year. I think 0:40:24.000 --> 0:40:26.760 this offensive line is slowly but surely coming together. 0:40:26.800 --> 0:40:28.360 A lot of young guys like we talked about. 0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:31.919 But I think that and like you said, he gets better. 0:40:31.960 --> 0:40:33.560 You get better because he's in the room, Like you 0:40:33.600 --> 0:40:35.920 get better because he's in the room. He's there, He's 0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:38.000 already been in the room, it sounds like anyway, but 0:40:38.239 --> 0:40:40.640 to this capacity to be leading this team, it's important 0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:41.319 for him to be there. 0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:44.200 And I think that your defense is gonna rejoice to And. 0:40:44.160 --> 0:40:46.640 You were talking about growth earlier. We're talking about, you know, 0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:49.879 have the Cowboys gotten better? I think finally getting Dak back, 0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:53.239 you have the stability and you have finally kind of 0:40:52.880 --> 0:40:56.120 that ground to grow from. So I think if you 0:40:56.120 --> 0:40:58.680 want to talk about growth, we're gonna see it even 0:40:58.719 --> 0:41:01.600 from this week, if he starts. You know, we can't 0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:05.000 say it's official yet, but if whenever Dak's starting point 0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:07.280 is to the following week, you're going to see growth 0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:09.520 every week. And I think that's just such a key 0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:11.920 thing for Dak is he's not going to stop improving. 0:41:12.120 --> 0:41:15.319 Yeah, you keyt in on something that the leadership. 0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:18.600 I think it's obviously it's common for your quarterback to 0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:21.719 be a leader, right, but I think this period in 0:41:21.800 --> 0:41:24.319 Dak's career has really kind of shifted the way he 0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:29.600 thinks about leadership. And something interesting. Trayvon Diggs and Micah 0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:33.480 Parsons went on a podcast called The Pivot Podcast. Yeah, 0:41:33.520 --> 0:41:37.600 and Micah was asked about Dak Prescott and asked, you 0:41:37.600 --> 0:41:39.799 know about his injury and how he's handled it, and 0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:42.480 Micah said, the thing that's been the most impressive is 0:41:42.480 --> 0:41:45.840 that Dak was never sad, He was never down, he 0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:48.920 was never you know, pitying me feel sorry for myself. 0:41:48.920 --> 0:41:53.640 He has just been a constant positive reinforcement in the 0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:55.920 locker room on the sideline, you know, when he's. 0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:57.520 Coaching up his guys or whatever it is. 0:41:59.280 --> 0:42:02.400 And I think that that takes a special kind of leadership, 0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:04.120 you know what I mean, because it's hard to be 0:42:04.320 --> 0:42:06.480 It's hard when you're sitting there and you know you're 0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:08.839 the guy, Like the quarterback controversy was a joke. 0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:12.320 You know you're that guy, right, yeah, right, And yet 0:42:12.480 --> 0:42:13.360 here you are. 0:42:13.120 --> 0:42:15.719 You're having to watch fans who rock your jersey every 0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:19.080 week talk about leave Cooper in. People are still saying 0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:20.360 on Twitter, leave Cooper in. 0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:22.960 Oh right, you have that. 0:42:23.239 --> 0:42:26.160 You have this guy who's performing better than expectations. And 0:42:26.200 --> 0:42:28.680 not that he ever wished on Cooper's downfall, but it's 0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:31.319 that natural instinct inside you. I think Christy was the one, 0:42:31.400 --> 0:42:33.000 or Jane was the one maybe who talked about it 0:42:33.800 --> 0:42:37.560 of wanting to be a competitor, but I just thought 0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:39.640 that insight was so cool to know that, like on 0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:41.799 the opposite side of the ball, these guys are seeing 0:42:41.880 --> 0:42:43.759 what Dak brings to the table as a leadership, and 0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:45.680 so I think this injury, I mean, he probably won't 0:42:45.680 --> 0:42:47.640 see it that way, but it's been such a positive 0:42:47.680 --> 0:42:48.360 thing for him. 0:42:48.200 --> 0:42:51.760 And I'm really excited about seeing if this this because, 0:42:52.120 --> 0:42:54.520 like I said, this offense has gotten back to going 0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:57.680 downhill with the run game and stuff, and I personally 0:42:57.680 --> 0:42:59.680 have said that I think that Dak Prescott is as 0:42:59.680 --> 0:43:01.880 a run has always been important to his game, and 0:43:02.080 --> 0:43:04.279 it's been talked about. I wonder if some of the 0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:06.839 grit that this offensive line is starting to play with 0:43:06.960 --> 0:43:09.240 rubs off on him a little bit and we start 0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:10.839 to see a couple of stiff arms. 0:43:10.840 --> 0:43:11.280 Sometimes. 0:43:11.280 --> 0:43:12.840 I know people get tight in their chest, but we 0:43:12.840 --> 0:43:14.960 can't play scared no more like I don't, and I 0:43:15.000 --> 0:43:17.279 think maybe he's not. I hope that he wouldn't come 0:43:17.320 --> 0:43:20.000 out here and play scared, but I think that maybe 0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:22.799 at adding some of what Jalen Hurts was able to 0:43:22.800 --> 0:43:26.200 do to this Cowboys defense to what Dak Prescott can 0:43:26.239 --> 0:43:28.480 do could be also helpful to this offense as well. 0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:30.800 So I'm looking for him to come out. 0:43:30.960 --> 0:43:34.279 Play comfortable because he has something to come back to 0:43:34.480 --> 0:43:37.960 that's kind of been floating, right, and see if we 0:43:38.000 --> 0:43:41.200 get some more explosive play splash plays sometimes in this 0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:42.399 offense as well. 0:43:42.520 --> 0:43:45.760 I also think he is going to give these wide 0:43:45.760 --> 0:43:48.959 receivers a lot of confidence to play with. And again 0:43:48.960 --> 0:43:52.520 I'm talking about stability when you know and of course 0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:55.399 there's conversations that go on that we don't ever know about, 0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:57.480 we don't get to hear. But when you have your 0:43:57.560 --> 0:44:00.879 QB one finally in, you can start to see that 0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:04.080 chemistry and the connection with DAK and Noah Brown or 0:44:04.160 --> 0:44:06.360 DAK and Michael Gallup, you can finally see that building. 0:44:06.400 --> 0:44:09.440 So I think getting that wide receiver core more confident 0:44:09.560 --> 0:44:12.560 in themselves and and with who they're playing with, it 0:44:12.920 --> 0:44:15.160 is going to show. And I'm excited. 0:44:15.719 --> 0:44:18.799 Let's protection tight ends get some get a little bit 0:44:18.800 --> 0:44:22.479 more burned. I mean, listen, these young titands are also 0:44:22.560 --> 0:44:24.680 coming together too. I think we can see them maybe 0:44:24.680 --> 0:44:27.040 get more depending on what's happening. We haven't talked about it, 0:44:27.080 --> 0:44:30.000 but depending on what's happening with Dalton Schultz, I think 0:44:30.040 --> 0:44:31.800 also too, you can see the tight ends get a 0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:34.120 little bit more burned too, because you're not with the 0:44:34.200 --> 0:44:36.520 DAK being a little bit more mobile, I think you'll 0:44:36.560 --> 0:44:39.160 have less max protection situations as well. 0:44:39.239 --> 0:44:41.279 So yeah, yeah, let's see. 0:44:41.320 --> 0:44:41.640 Let's see. 0:44:41.719 --> 0:44:45.040 Let's see lines lines, lines got a couple, They got 0:44:45.080 --> 0:44:46.040 a couple guys over there. 0:44:46.080 --> 0:44:47.840 They can make some stuff shake, So we'll get to 0:44:47.920 --> 0:44:48.239 it to mile. 0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:50.560 But Yeah, overall though, I think the message here is, 0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:53.799 you know what, it's a loss, You move on, you 0:44:53.920 --> 0:44:56.560 turn the page, and you have a lot of very 0:44:56.600 --> 0:44:58.680 exciting things to look forward to long season. 0:44:58.760 --> 0:45:01.319 Y'all's like eleven mo week, see this thing, we got 0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:02.760 a minute, Calm down. 0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:06.520 I love it, moth. We do not have eleven more weeks. 0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:08.680 Today on Girls Talk, Boys Talk, that's all the time 0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:12.400 we have. But tomorrow we're gonna break down this Lions matchup. 0:45:12.440 --> 0:45:15.400 We'll talk a little bit more about what Dak Prescott 0:45:15.400 --> 0:45:18.400 brings to the table and the Cowboys as they prepare for. 0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:20.480 That matchup at home against the Lions. 0:45:20.480 --> 0:45:23.080 That'll do it for us, though Today for Aisha for Jess, 0:45:23.120 --> 0:45:25.040 I'm Haley, and we'll see you tomorrow. 0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:29.000 This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 0:45:29.160 --> 0:45:32.080 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
