Speaker 4: Welcome to another happy Tuesday here on Girls Talkboys Talk
Speaker 4: presented by Jigsaw, the preferred dating app of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: I'm Hailey Sutton with Aisha Morrison and Jess Navarez. We
Speaker 4: are going to kind of tie up some loose ends
Speaker 4: when it comes to this Eagles versus Dallas game.
Speaker 5: Your computer is excited to is like, yes, let's wrap
Speaker 5: this up.
Speaker 4: So ladies, obviously it's not as fun being in the
Speaker 4: building when it's not a victory Monday or a victory Tuesday.
Speaker 4: But still, I heard you guys chatting a little bit yesterday.
Speaker 4: A lot of positives to take away from this twenty
Speaker 4: six seventeen loss for the Eagles.
Speaker 5: Just a little bit of adversity. Jess, you know a
Speaker 5: little bit about adversity today.
Speaker 6: Oh man, oh man, it has been a day. Just
Speaker 6: follow me on Twitter, like you know how my day
Speaker 6: started and how it continued to go like, all I'm
Speaker 6: saying is apartment living is is kind of the worst.
Speaker 6: But that's okay because here's the thing. It started off
Speaker 6: bad and then I got to come here. Now I'm
Speaker 6: with you girls, and it's just the highlight of my day.
Speaker 6: So it's getting better. In somebody on Twitter, David, he's
Speaker 6: part of the B to B staff with me, He's like, Okay,
Speaker 6: this is like the first half of the Cowboys Eagles game.
Speaker 6: How my morning started. And then now it's like the
Speaker 6: second half. So we're getting better. Everybody, it's all right.
Speaker 4: And hopefully, like the Cowboys, you can find a way
Speaker 4: to push forward.
Speaker 6: I kind of had to. I kind of had to
Speaker 6: find a way to push forward. I mean, when your
Speaker 6: apartment's getting a flooded from your upstairs neighbors toilet, you
Speaker 6: find a way to push through some how, some way,
Speaker 6: find a way.
Speaker 5: I'm just so happy you're here with us today. Jazz,
Speaker 5: me too.
Speaker 7: It was a morning yell.
Speaker 5: Let me say, getting back on track a little bit here.
Speaker 5: We got off.
Speaker 4: I just had to get Dress a shout out because
Speaker 4: she has had a morning.
Speaker 6: I also just want to say to my dog. He
Speaker 6: was right in the middle of it a little wit,
Speaker 6: so he has like a little play area, and he
Speaker 6: looked like Rose on the Titanic because he was just
Speaker 6: on his bed, so he looked like Rose on the door.
Speaker 6: Like it was. It was chaotic morning, But I'm Rose in.
Speaker 4: Our thoughts and prayers in all seriousness though, ladies, Today
Speaker 4: was Tuesday. Jerry Jones spoke this morning on the Fan.
Speaker 4: The most obvious thing he talked about was Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4: I want to get to that in a little bit,
Speaker 4: but first just kind of wrapping things up closing the
Speaker 4: book as we turn the page into Detroit, which will
Speaker 4: focus a little bit more on today, But from the
Speaker 4: Cowboys side, I want to talk about the offense first.
Speaker 4: Something interesting that I was just kind of coming to
Speaker 4: the realization of earlier was, you know the struggles that
Speaker 4: the offense is having. You forget that a lot of
Speaker 4: these guys are brand new to the game, right Jake Ferguson,
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith, even you know Tyler Piattish, Connor McGovern like
Speaker 4: these are.
Speaker 5: There are a lot of names.
Speaker 4: Who are working into the offense. So a question that
Speaker 4: I was thinking about as I was kind of prepping
Speaker 4: for this show that I would love for you ladies
Speaker 4: to answer, do you guys think this is a new
Speaker 4: era of Cowboys football when it comes to the offense,
Speaker 4: because I think when I think of, you know, elite
Speaker 4: or iconic offenses, you think of Jason Witten, Tony Romo,
Speaker 4: even going as far back as Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin.
Speaker 4: Do we think that this mix of offensive players has
Speaker 4: what it takes to kind of be the new era
Speaker 4: of Cowboys offense?
Speaker 8: I would say from I would say in regard to
Speaker 8: the offensive line, if you're talking about Tyler Smith and McGovern,
Speaker 8: those guys, Terrence Steele, who I think is important to
Speaker 8: what they do right now. The Cowboys said in the
Speaker 8: offseason they want it to get back to being a
Speaker 8: running team, and I feel like what they're doing, some
Speaker 8: of the guys they're drafting and putting together show that
Speaker 8: they want to be a run first team. Maybe that
Speaker 8: is a way of getting back to being having that
Speaker 8: identity and stuff, and you're kind of starting to see
Speaker 8: them find their identity in the run game. I think
Speaker 8: you saw that later in the game against the Eagles.
Speaker 8: But as far as I mean, like I think this year,
Speaker 8: they're right now, Ceedee Lamb, They're trying to see if Ceede.
Speaker 9: Lamb is the guy.
Speaker 8: I think he's played well in spots and everything, but
Speaker 8: I think they're trying to see if he's the guy.
Speaker 8: Michael Gallup is already tighten the young tight ends, Henny
Speaker 8: and Ferk those guys, those guys I feel like also too,
Speaker 8: are in a position to where they're trying to show
Speaker 8: maybe that they're a long term guy or whatever. So
Speaker 8: maybe you're right, like they did draft a lot of
Speaker 8: these gentlemen, bring them in undrafted free agents, Like I mean,
Speaker 8: you're on correct, Like I guess we do get so
Speaker 8: tied into watching them play well that we don't realize
Speaker 8: that these gentlemen are young, they're still developing, they still
Speaker 8: have room to get better, like you talk about Jess
Speaker 8: and I yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 8: I guess yeah, I do agree to an extent I'm
Speaker 8: trying to. I guess this year maybe is a feel
Speaker 8: out year for some of these players. But I do
Speaker 8: agree that it is funny that we forget that Tyler
Speaker 8: Smith is a rook Like people were like beating him
Speaker 8: up for letting like he definitely on the interception, he
Speaker 8: got beat around the edge on that interception, and that
Speaker 8: was a big reason why that pressure came. But like
Speaker 8: he had a pretty solid game for the most part.
Speaker 8: It's just crazy, you're right, but yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 6: Yes, I think when you're thinking of a long term
Speaker 6: future with the Cowboys, it is easy to see why this, uh,
Speaker 6: this younger team is going to be the future. You know,
Speaker 6: maybe O line that you had when you had Tony
Speaker 6: and Jason, like you just mentioned, and that's the era
Speaker 6: I grew up watching football, and so I remember that
Speaker 6: O line being like, Nope, this is a great wall.
Speaker 6: Nobody's getting past it. But what you forget about those
Speaker 6: kind of offensive lines is there was a time when
Speaker 6: they were young too, right, Like you just remember the
Speaker 6: glory days because they were so good. But what you
Speaker 6: forget is there was a time that everybody was young.
Speaker 6: And so it's what's really cool to see is these
Speaker 6: younger players stepping up, and even Tyler Smith for a
Speaker 6: great example. You know, back week one, everyone's like no,
Speaker 6: you know, no, Tyler Smith, and he has been out
Speaker 6: of the conversation for good reasons because he's doing what
Speaker 6: he needs to do. Sure, they're slip ups, you know,
Speaker 6: we get that, and that's going to happen.
Speaker 9: He is still a rookie.
Speaker 6: Everybody like, just give him some time, but he's done
Speaker 6: nothing to prove that he didn't deserve that spot. And
Speaker 6: what's even crazier is when you see the conversation starting
Speaker 6: to come up of all right, well, Tyrone Smith, when
Speaker 6: he comes back, what's gonna happen. So I think that's
Speaker 6: a very interesting conversation that I saw pop up, pop
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, pop up on Twitter.
Speaker 5: Y'all.
Speaker 6: It's been a day pop up on Twitter because I
Speaker 6: didn't even think of that. And when you have a
Speaker 6: rookie that is making you kind of forget that you're
Speaker 6: a veteran, you know, guard is out. That's that's kind
Speaker 6: of insane when you think about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jerry Jones talked a little bit about that.
Speaker 4: He was, you know, kept his cards very close to
Speaker 4: his chest than this morning in regards to Tyron Smith,
Speaker 4: and you know how he'll look and how they plan
Speaker 4: to integrate him when he comes back. So obviously that's
Speaker 4: a conversation that I'm sure will be a hot topic
Speaker 4: as we get closer to that return.
Speaker 5: The positives though, is that he said, you know, he's
Speaker 5: liked what he's.
Speaker 4: Seen so far from Tyrone Smith's rehab, so that's good.
Speaker 4: And also, speaking of Jerry, I wanted to read this
Speaker 4: quote really quickly this morning when he was talking about
Speaker 4: the team and the offense kind of developing with the
Speaker 4: you know, the eyes on Dak Prescott making his return,
Speaker 4: he said, quote, we are a better team than we
Speaker 4: were five weeks ago. We have improved the right way.
Speaker 4: We've done it with repetition. We've done it with young players.
Speaker 4: We've done it with players that have worked in to
Speaker 4: the kinds of things the coaches want them to do.
Speaker 4: We've had a lot of depth that gets that has
Speaker 4: gotten a lot of repped.
Speaker 5: We're a better.
Speaker 4: Team than we were when lost against Tampa period fact.
Speaker 5: Quote.
Speaker 4: So again, I just wanted your thoughts on that, if
Speaker 4: you agreed on that side, or if so, how they improved.
Speaker 8: Now, I like you talked about it earlier, adversity like
Speaker 8: they have went. Like I'm not gonna sit up here
Speaker 8: and say that they're just completely battle tested, you know,
Speaker 8: but teams don't win without their starting QB, and this
Speaker 8: team had to figure out different ways to win these games. Obviously,
Speaker 8: you got you know, good play, certain splash plays from
Speaker 8: special teams, defenses, came through in a mighty way. But
Speaker 8: then also I want to highlight Kellen Moore and just
Speaker 8: the maturity that it's taken from him. Like obviously he
Speaker 8: still has his blemishes in certain spots, but he really
Speaker 8: has changed how this offense is being run. It is
Speaker 8: predominantly through the run. It's predominantly through the run game.
Speaker 8: But just some of his concepts, his blocking concepts. If
Speaker 8: you look at some of the past plays, I mean,
Speaker 8: there's guy's open. He is scheming better and differently, a
Speaker 8: little differently than what he did last year. So I
Speaker 8: think that they have came out collectively and came together
Speaker 8: to make make it through this point in time without
Speaker 8: Dak Prescott and I do agree that it makes them.
Speaker 9: It makes them look better.
Speaker 8: The fact that they did what they've done without their
Speaker 8: starting quarterback, without good field position almost every game, with
Speaker 8: losing time possession almost every game, like finding a way
Speaker 8: to win. There's something to be said about that. And
Speaker 8: in this league, it typically is with coaching. It's typically
Speaker 8: with guys coming together and playing together as one. And
Speaker 8: you've heard this team echo the same things in these interviews.
Speaker 8: Is that this is an unselfish team. They had to
Speaker 8: come together to win this game, and I think the
Speaker 8: unselfishness is going to help later on in this season.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think I'm looking at the definition of
Speaker 6: resilience here. It says the capacity to recover quickly from
Speaker 6: difficulties toughness. So when you think of Week one, and
Speaker 6: we talk about this a lot, you're walking out of
Speaker 6: that Tampa Bay game, the news of Dak's thumb injury
Speaker 6: comes out. Everybody walking out of that game was like, Oh,
Speaker 6: the season's done, that's it, Like we just saw the
Speaker 6: one game with decat like it was the worst possible
Speaker 6: case scenario walking out of that game and just such
Speaker 6: a heavy feeling. Well, no, because nobody expected the Cowboys
Speaker 6: to do what they've done. And it doesn't necessarily mean,
Speaker 6: you know, there's of course, there's only what there's only
Speaker 6: fewer preseason games that we see, so that Week one
Speaker 6: doesn't define really any team in the NFL, and I
Speaker 6: think that's so important to learn. So I think it's
Speaker 6: hard to say how they're better for, say, but I
Speaker 6: know that they're resilient because of everything that they've had
Speaker 6: to come, all of the adversity. I mean, you lose
Speaker 6: your starting quarterback week one, Come on, guys, many how
Speaker 6: many teams can pull together and actually win like they have.
Speaker 6: And again we've talked about why Cooper Rush deserves the
Speaker 6: credit for that, and we'll get to that later. But
Speaker 6: you know, I think when you when you look at
Speaker 6: this team as a whole, it wasn't necessarily that they
Speaker 6: were never good. It wasn't necessarily that that talent was
Speaker 6: ever there. It's always been there. It's just been one.
Speaker 6: You have a bunch of young players, like we talked about,
Speaker 6: they have to get used to that, whether they had
Speaker 6: preseason reps or not, you're going up against the starters
Speaker 6: when the regular season starts. Two, you have, you know,
Speaker 6: all of these outs, all of the outside noise of
Speaker 6: everything that we hear, and we consume that's not what's
Speaker 6: going on in the locker room. And I think it's
Speaker 6: hard to kind of remember that sometimes the messages that
Speaker 6: you know, people talk about.
Speaker 9: As fans, that they think they know is not what's
Speaker 9: going on in that locker room.
Speaker 6: And I think that brotherhood has always been there since
Speaker 6: day one. And I think the closeness and tight knit
Speaker 6: of this team is something that it's not necessarily better.
Speaker 6: It's always been there. And I think you're just seeing
Speaker 6: the start of it. I think as far as getting better,
Speaker 6: they're just going to start to find that groove to
Speaker 6: see how beastly they're about to be. Because you know,
Speaker 6: until we have Dac back in, until the Cowboys have
Speaker 6: Dack back in, I should say we won't necessarily know
Speaker 6: what they look like. I still think the best is
Speaker 6: yet to come for this team, and that says a
Speaker 6: lot considering you know, they're still in the conversation for
Speaker 6: being one of the best teams in the NFC right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I love that you mentioned the adversity that
Speaker 4: goes into that, because when you look at the opposite
Speaker 4: side of the ball, you've got a team of you know,
Speaker 4: mostly veteran experience, and then you have guys like Micah
Speaker 4: who's already playing like a veteran and in games like
Speaker 4: Sunday when they let up the most touchdowns, you know
Speaker 4: that they have all season. And listening to Dan Quinn yesterday,
Speaker 4: you could tell he was just so fired up.
Speaker 5: He was so feisty.
Speaker 4: I think the first thing that came out of his
Speaker 4: mouth was that he was pissed. Yeah, because of you know,
Speaker 4: he kept saying, you know, we know the standard that
Speaker 4: we can play at. We know what we are capable of,
Speaker 4: and when we don't play to that standard, it makes
Speaker 4: us mad, Like it makes it mad. And my favorite
Speaker 4: thing that he said, and it just goes to your
Speaker 4: playing against adversity and holding yourself accountable. He talked about
Speaker 4: how everyone was patting them on the back and saying,
Speaker 4: you know, like, oh, that second half effort was really good,
Speaker 4: and he said, we don't care.
Speaker 5: We don't care. We shouldn't have to be getting.
Speaker 4: A pat on the back for our second half effort
Speaker 4: if we take care of business in the first half.
Speaker 4: So you know, when you talk about accountability, adversity, resiliency,
Speaker 4: I think all of those things kind of layer in together.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think that you know, to pick a
Speaker 8: back out for what you said with dan Quinn. And
Speaker 8: I listened to his press conference as well, and you
Speaker 8: could feel that he was fushed all he was frustrated
Speaker 8: because one thing about dan Quinn as well is like
Speaker 8: he's an assignment based coach, like and the tackling in
Speaker 8: this game was was a problem in this game. Gap integrity,
Speaker 8: Jay Ron Kurst talked about on Cowboys Hour.
Speaker 9: Please check out Haley Suddon so good.
Speaker 8: If you want to learn more, absolutely like, if you
Speaker 8: want to learn more about these players and also get
Speaker 8: some context on some of the things within the game,
Speaker 8: please check her out. Jay ron Kurst talked about, you know,
Speaker 8: them not playing their assignments, guys kind of being out
Speaker 8: of spots, out of position because they're trying to make
Speaker 8: a play. I feel like, yeah, I felt I felt that.
Speaker 8: I felt him. I felt him. When he was like,
Speaker 8: I'm pissed, I was like, I'm sure they're gonna be pissed,
Speaker 8: but in this game, I felt like the defense really.
Speaker 8: I mean, all things considered, you can't be I can't
Speaker 8: be too upset about some of the things that happened
Speaker 8: with them.
Speaker 9: I think that.
Speaker 8: But I also will say credit to the Eagles. Their
Speaker 8: their offensive scheme is legit, and it's it's hard coming
Speaker 8: through my teeth.
Speaker 9: It is Garrett's teeth.
Speaker 8: But what they do with the r p O, with
Speaker 8: how they pull and pin guards, how they put your
Speaker 8: defense in tough situations. I do think this is gonna
Speaker 8: be a great learning experience that that's gonna be a
Speaker 8: rumble Christmas Maybee. I don't mean my family don't even
Speaker 8: said about Christmas. That might be it for me, You
Speaker 8: understand me, Give me some eggnogg and.
Speaker 9: Call it a day.
Speaker 8: But no, don't already came at me for what we
Speaker 8: like pumpkin spies.
Speaker 6: Your no, no, Look, I tried it live on air
Speaker 6: one time. I was on local news and that was
Speaker 6: the worst to say because I almost threw.
Speaker 9: Up on Tamart.
Speaker 8: So they took advantage of the Cowboys aggressiveness early in
Speaker 8: that game. And I'm glad, like I really think this
Speaker 8: is gonna be fantastic teach tape for these young defensive players.
Speaker 9: Sam Williams is gonna get a.
Speaker 8: Lot of good teach tape out of this game. But yeah,
Speaker 8: I felt Dankoye yesterday when he said that. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 8: I'm I'm I'm mad too.
Speaker 9: This is hard to watch.
Speaker 8: I'm mad it's hard to watch.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, and I again credit to the Eagles because really,
Speaker 6: I think as a cow on the Cowboys side of things,
Speaker 6: on the Cowboys side of things, you you don't want
Speaker 6: to admit how good they actually are. But here's the thing.
Speaker 6: They're they're they're doing great. And I think a lot
Speaker 6: of that credit goes to Jalen Hurts and the kind
Speaker 6: of quarterback he is, how he's played. I mean, right now,
Speaker 6: he's ranked ninth in completion percentage through six games at
Speaker 6: sixty six point eight percent. Last season during that time,
Speaker 6: during this same week, he was ranked twenty six. So
Speaker 6: to show you the progression he's made within a year,
Speaker 6: you have to give credit where to do Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 6: I think is just such a big reason that you
Speaker 6: know the Eagles are playing like they are. He's also
Speaker 6: ranked third in yards per attempt at eight point two three,
Speaker 6: and I mean, honestly giving credit words due, He's a
Speaker 6: large reason why the Eagles are still undefeated. However, I
Speaker 6: like to believe that we're not going to keep saying
Speaker 6: that for much longer. But I know Haley wanted to
Speaker 6: talk about their schedule and kind of looking ahead. I
Speaker 6: don't know, God.
Speaker 5: At this schedule.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know. Guys, that's I want to add.
Speaker 8: I think you're I mean, yeah, the RPO is very
Speaker 8: important to what they do, and him being a running
Speaker 8: quarterback is going to It's not the norm, like like
Speaker 8: we talked about, like the Cowboys won't see that many
Speaker 8: quarterbacks that have that capability or even just that that
Speaker 8: scheming like that they were using against them. If they
Speaker 8: see it again, hopefully they respond well to it. But
Speaker 8: field position was huge in this game as well. You
Speaker 8: put your like the offense put the Cowboys defense on within, you.
Speaker 9: Know, on the forty like.
Speaker 8: I mean, I think the Eagles were within the Cowboys
Speaker 8: forty like four times this game.
Speaker 9: That's not it's is it? Is it possible?
Speaker 8: I think they helped them to feel goals twice in
Speaker 8: those situations. But when you talk about complimentary football as well,
Speaker 8: I think that we have to acknowledge defensively, they were
Speaker 8: put in some rough spots.
Speaker 9: They don't make excuses. It's not their jobs. So I'll
Speaker 9: say it.
Speaker 4: God, yeah, yeah, I was just gonna say really quick,
Speaker 4: we're gonna have to take our first break. But and
Speaker 4: this is a question I would love for our social
Speaker 4: media listeners to get involved with. Are the Eagles as
Speaker 4: good as they are on paper? I'm going to read
Speaker 4: their schedule out really quickly. They opened the season with
Speaker 4: the Lions, and then they played the Vikings, the Commanders,
Speaker 4: the Jaguars, the Cardinals, and last week against the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: They do have the potential to be ten to o well,
Speaker 4: you know with the Steelers, Texans, Commanders, colts lineup before
Speaker 4: they get the Packers.
Speaker 5: So I would love to.
Speaker 4: Hear from our social media from our listeners right now,
Speaker 4: tweet us DMS do you think the Eagles are actually
Speaker 4: as good as their six to zero record on paper.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna let us do on that as we take
Speaker 4: our first break on Girls Talk, Boys Talk. When we
Speaker 4: come back, though, it's Tuesday, and we once again have

Speaker 6: you know during the season and even during the off season.
Speaker 10: Well, there's a lot.
Speaker 12: We have a strategic plan, and so we have five
Speaker 12: pillars for the five points in the Star that we
Speaker 12: strategically plan around during the season and in the off season,
Speaker 12: primarily with the Salvation Army and everything that they do
Speaker 12: all year long to help people in need. We focus
Speaker 12: a lot of our efforts there youth and health and
Speaker 12: youth football, women's initiatives, which we just got off of
Speaker 12: Crucial Catch and our breast cancer Survivor Star Survivor program,
Speaker 12: let's see. And then there's the Hispanic demographic that we
Speaker 12: target a lot of our activations around military and Salute
Speaker 12: to Services coming up in December. So yeah, so all
Speaker 12: year long. There are themes during the season that we
Speaker 12: build our weeks about leading into our game. So there's
Speaker 12: themes at games, so we build our activations that week
Speaker 12: around that game theme.
Speaker 10: Beautiful beautiful.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you just mentioned Salt to Service. I am a
Speaker 8: veteran of eight years and I wanted to know Emily, like,
Speaker 8: what types of events do you folks host for veterans
Speaker 8: And I think it'll be healthy, firust to know.
Speaker 9: I want to come for sure.
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, thank you for your service. Yeah.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, Well, so for Salute to Service this year is
Speaker 12: the game is on December the fourth against the Colts.
Speaker 12: It's also our might cause My Cleats game, so yeah,
Speaker 12: so we are going to have a heavy, heavy, really
Speaker 12: exciting showing of Medal of Honor cleats, so for the
Speaker 12: Medal Honor recipients. So it's going to be so cool
Speaker 12: all of our coaches are wearing Medal of Honor recipients cleats.
Speaker 10: And I don't know if that's a surprise or not,
Speaker 10: but I just said it and.
Speaker 12: Then bombs there's another I'll just say another position group.
Speaker 12: We're all wearing Medal of Honor cleats to honor our
Speaker 12: military that served in the that are recipients. So it's
Speaker 12: going to be amazing that they're combined this year. So
Speaker 12: but backing up, on Halloween, we're hosting trick or Treat
Speaker 12: for active and veteran military and their families to come
Speaker 12: to the Star and come trick or treating and get
Speaker 12: a tour. Yeah, bring their children. So that's a you know,
Speaker 12: there's a sign up for that in advance. So that's something.
Speaker 12: On October thirty, first we actually do here, we're doing
Speaker 12: a women's workshop where we're hosting it's a career day
Speaker 12: if you will, and a bunch of our corporate sponsors
Speaker 12: will be there and so we are working with again
Speaker 12: the Salvation Army, and then we've also invited a group
Speaker 12: of veteran women that are interested and may need some
Speaker 12: help finding jobs. So yeah, all year long, not just
Speaker 12: during Salute to Service Week. One other really great program
Speaker 12: we do is we do a baby shower for twenty
Speaker 12: military women, pregnant women, whether they're serving themselves or their
Speaker 12: spousers are serving.
Speaker 10: And so they get poor.
Speaker 12: It's a baby shower here at the Star, and they
Speaker 12: get so much great stuff.
Speaker 9: Thank you so much for that.
Speaker 8: I feel like I know as a veteran how many
Speaker 8: times I wanted help, assistance, and and I was looking
Speaker 8: for someone to help me. So I think it's so
Speaker 8: healthy that you are giving this information out for other women.
Speaker 9: I hope that it helps other veterans.
Speaker 10: Well, thank you, oh lordy.
Speaker 8: Like the baby stuff is like, I don't know if
Speaker 8: people know how hard it is being a military spouse
Speaker 8: or a widower, but I have friends who have gone
Speaker 8: through these things and went through pregnancy and things alone,
Speaker 8: and it's hard on you.
Speaker 9: It is hard on you.
Speaker 8: So I just I'm encouraged by there being support here
Speaker 8: at the Star.
Speaker 9: It makes lot of.
Speaker 5: Sense, Emily. For you.
Speaker 4: You can tell I'm just watching you talk about what
Speaker 4: you do and you he loves it. You can just tell, uh,
Speaker 4: where does that passion come from? Because I think sometimes
Speaker 4: with community service it can be challenging because you need
Speaker 4: volunteers there's a lot of moving parts that go into it.
Speaker 5: Where's your passion come from?
Speaker 12: You know, that's a great question. I don't know that
Speaker 12: I've ever been asked that. It definitely comes from within.
Speaker 12: And I think above all, I like helping people, and
Speaker 12: so this is a great place to be because we
Speaker 12: do so much to help others and it's not me
Speaker 12: that's helping them, it's our organization and the Jones family
Speaker 12: that supports. I am just fortunate to be in the
Speaker 12: position to be the person to facilitate the helping or
Speaker 12: facilitate helping create the character conversations that we did today
Speaker 12: and hopefully we touch someone's life, you know, talking about
Speaker 12: mental health or anti bullying. So I just am thankful
Speaker 12: to be the person in the middle of it, you know,
Speaker 12: connecting the dots, and I think it, yeah, I just
Speaker 12: like I just like to be a helper, you know,
Speaker 12: just like to help people.
Speaker 10: And that's you know, that's me my whole life.
Speaker 6: Oh that's beautiful, and so did you ever think that
Speaker 6: you would work within the realm of sports and community relations?
Speaker 5: How did that story come up? Because I think it's
Speaker 5: so beautiful.
Speaker 6: Like you said, you have this incredible platform with the
Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys to be able to get back to so
Speaker 6: many different groups and so many different peoples in so
Speaker 6: many different ways. Right, So did you ever think that
Speaker 6: you would tie sports in and then community relations and
Speaker 6: make this beautiful little marriage.
Speaker 10: Not at all.
Speaker 12: All I knew is I wanted to do public relations
Speaker 12: and community relations and not even public relations. They didn't
Speaker 12: have community relations when I went to college, so it
Speaker 12: was a journalism degree, and you know, I, yeah, I
Speaker 12: just wanted to do public relations. I knew I wanted
Speaker 12: to work in house corporate PR, not at an agency.
Speaker 12: So I had that defined. And then I was a
Speaker 12: candidate at my college for a minority recruiting program that
Speaker 12: the National Football League was hosting, and so that's and
Speaker 12: I was like, sure, I'll try, and that's how it started.
Speaker 12: And so then I went to work in New York
Speaker 12: City at the league office, and there I was in sports.
Speaker 10: Now they knew I loved football. I was, I was.
Speaker 12: I was an athlete and then a cheerleader in high
Speaker 12: school and college, and so they knew I liked football.
Speaker 10: So I think that was one thing. And when from
Speaker 10: your when you're from Texas, you know you grew up with.
Speaker 12: No to answer your question, I never thought that my
Speaker 12: my you know, my degree would be what I was,
Speaker 12: you know, doing my life career with no not ever
Speaker 12: today think about that.
Speaker 5: What's been your favorite part of this journey so far?
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, we'res a decade. I'm in my third decade.
Speaker 10: You know, Well, there's so many great things.
Speaker 12: I mean from the community, you know side, I think
Speaker 12: working with you know, Salvation Army and just being a
Speaker 12: part of all the.
Speaker 10: Great things that they do.
Speaker 12: They help so many people in need, and the need
Speaker 12: is so great, so I see that on a daily basis.
Speaker 12: And then getting to see you know, make a wish children,
Speaker 12: all the wishes we do, see them smile and have
Speaker 12: happiness while they're here.
Speaker 10: That's amazing. And I know they're not here to see me.
Speaker 12: I know they're here to see the players, which I'm
Speaker 12: so happy to get to help help to be a
Speaker 12: piece of that magic.
Speaker 10: But something's really funny.
Speaker 12: When I first started here, me and the guys were
Speaker 12: all the same age. We were like brothers and sisters,
Speaker 12: you know, like you know, Troy, m and Michael, We're
Speaker 12: all born in that decade. And then you know, they
Speaker 12: retire and we keep working so then it's the next
Speaker 12: decade of players. So I was the sister and then
Speaker 12: the aunt, and now I'm kind of the mom and
Speaker 12: now they call me Miss Simbily And I think maybe
Speaker 12: one day, if I'm the grandma, I may retire.
Speaker 10: And I don't know, I don't know. I think I
Speaker 10: got a lot more in me.
Speaker 4: So I've seen them interact with you, though, like as
Speaker 4: you're waiting outside the locker room to get them to
Speaker 4: sign up for stuff, and you again, like you can
Speaker 4: just tell that.
Speaker 5: They flock to you.
Speaker 4: So I think the Miss Emily, I can't wait to
Speaker 4: be like a Miss Hayley one day to some.
Speaker 5: Of these guys, because it's so cool.
Speaker 4: You get to see we were just talking earlier about
Speaker 4: the offense currently and they're so young and you forget,
Speaker 4: but that's such fresh perspective because you know, hopefully in
Speaker 4: ten years and we're still doing this, and you see
Speaker 4: those guys kind of grow up right.
Speaker 10: Before you and they're like the same age as my
Speaker 10: son now. So yeah, And.
Speaker 6: So last week we had asked Moe, who was our
Speaker 6: previous guest, what any what is any advice you have
Speaker 6: for someone specifically women that want to break through in
Speaker 6: this career path and and kind of follow your footsteps.
Speaker 6: What is the best advice you can give them?
Speaker 12: Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't or
Speaker 12: because really my dream was to become I was a
Speaker 12: broad I wanted to be a broadcaster and someone you are, yeah,
Speaker 12: and so I you know, I let someone tell me
Speaker 12: that I couldn't, and I regret that. So I would
Speaker 12: definitely say, if that's your passion and that's what you
Speaker 12: want to do, push, you know, push for it, and
Speaker 12: don't ever settle. You know that you know second best.
Speaker 12: Now it all worked out. I love what I do,
Speaker 12: and it, you know, probably was you know, my path
Speaker 12: and my journey. But I think stick to what you
Speaker 12: want to do and be patient because sometimes it doesn't
Speaker 12: always happen like that. You know, everybody wants this, you know,
Speaker 12: you know, instant gratification. So I think being patient and
Speaker 12: being strong and being willing to learn as you grow,
Speaker 12: and if your dream job isn't always available, be willing
Speaker 12: to do something else and add that to your toolbox
Speaker 12: along your way, because you'll eventually get where you want
Speaker 12: to go if you're determined. But utilize every opportunity to
Speaker 12: add to your toolbox.
Speaker 6: Oh beautifully said, I speak just right to the heart.
Speaker 6: It's definitely beautiful to see and need it. Yeah, it's
Speaker 6: it's so empowering and inspiring to hear you and hear
Speaker 6: your journey of how you never even thought that this
Speaker 6: is a possibility and yet you still love it so
Speaker 6: so much. And so if you have one favorite memory
Speaker 6: that you can key in on out of out of
Speaker 6: everything that you do, what is the first thing that
Speaker 6: comes to mind.
Speaker 12: You can tell us version one favorite memory. Gosh, I
Speaker 12: have so many. I mean every week is a memory.
Speaker 12: And I think that says, you know, I don't know
Speaker 12: that I would be able to do this job if
Speaker 12: it was the same all these years. So I think
Speaker 12: every week is we create memories. You know, we like,
Speaker 12: for make a wish, we plan every wish the same,
Speaker 12: but something different happens every every game. So I just think, gosh,
Speaker 12: probably getting my first super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Ring memory, her first sea start for that one.
Speaker 6: All right, So next time we see you, Emily, I
Speaker 6: really want you to bring all of the super Bowl
Speaker 6: that you have and I want you to just sport
Speaker 6: them up for us. That's that's more than a memory.
Speaker 5: That's beautiful.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Emily, as we wrap up really quickly, maybe some
Speaker 4: special projects or some events that you have coming up
Speaker 4: that we can let Cowboys Nation know about.
Speaker 12: Oh gosh, Okay, So the holidays are just around the corner.
Speaker 12: So I would encourage everyone to one donate to those
Speaker 12: Red kettles when you see them, when they get out there.
Speaker 12: Red Kettles across the nation raised so much money for
Speaker 12: so many people in the need right now is greater
Speaker 12: than ever with you know, the prices of food and
Speaker 12: people needing food. So I would say, please donate to
Speaker 12: the Red Kettles. And even if you did twenty five
Speaker 12: dollars a month as a gift for someone, if you
Speaker 12: can afford that, I mean, it's ongoing. The need is
Speaker 12: all year long. And then I would say, also for
Speaker 12: the Salvation Army at if you are able to adopt
Speaker 12: an angel and buy a wish or a need for
Speaker 12: a child, to be able to help parents provide Christmas
Speaker 12: for children. I would say those are two things we
Speaker 12: really encourage everyone to be to participate in. Wherever you're listening,
Speaker 12: you can do it. They have Salvation Army everywhere.

Speaker 4: I love that someone else who's making a little more
Speaker 4: than twenty dollars, Prescott Jesse.
Speaker 6: Do we have the chi ching or like a little
Speaker 6: applause anything for Dak Just so there there is.
Speaker 4: All signs are pointing at him being the starter on Sunday,
Speaker 4: I think we can feel a little bit confidently about that.
Speaker 4: Even posted on his Instagram, I think for the first
Speaker 4: time since week one kind of trolling us. So all
Speaker 4: signs are looking that way. Mike McCarthy telling us that
Speaker 4: he should have cleared his medical protocols going forward, he
Speaker 4: should be at practice as a full go tomorrow. Jerry
Speaker 4: Jones was a little bit cryptic. I think this morning
Speaker 4: you didn't quite want to come out and announce Dac
Speaker 4: as the starter, which makes perfect sense. You want to
Speaker 4: give him a week to get back adjusted, to knock
Speaker 4: some of that rust off, see where he's really at.
Speaker 4: But he threw on Sunday before the game. Everyone I've
Speaker 4: spoken to who saw him said he looked good, he
Speaker 4: looked ready. He probably could have played on Sunday.
Speaker 5: So that's just positive. But a question that I.
Speaker 4: Have been pondering, and I love y'all's insight, how does
Speaker 4: this offense improve with Dak? Because we've seen what Cooper
Speaker 4: Rush has done obviously with the tools that he's had,
Speaker 4: he's been consistent. How do we get the offense to
Speaker 4: take that next step with Dak?
Speaker 6: Oh? I was like, go ahead, girl. It's because I
Speaker 6: was reading Dek's caption you said he posted on Instagram
Speaker 6: and it was control the controllables. And I think that
Speaker 6: is such a valuable statement. It's so little, but it
Speaker 6: says so much because I think when you add Dak
Speaker 6: back into the mix, what you do is a few things. One,
Speaker 6: you get your stability back at quarterback. It's no longer
Speaker 6: a guessing game. Of Oh, when is he going to
Speaker 6: be ready? You know, how long is this going to happen?
Speaker 6: Not that I think that was happening for the team
Speaker 6: at any point. I think that's more on the outside noise,
Speaker 6: like I'd mentioned earlier. But what you get is you
Speaker 6: get your leader back, and that just having Dak in
Speaker 6: a room is so powerful I think for anybody. And
Speaker 6: no knock on Cooper Rush again, I want to preface
Speaker 6: this by saying, Cooper Rush, we appreciate everything you have
Speaker 6: done for this team up until this point, but when
Speaker 6: you have Dak in, it's just such a different vive.
Speaker 6: It's such a different energy that he brings to this team,
Speaker 6: and so I think give him a little time, a
Speaker 6: little space to knock off some rust. I don't think
Speaker 6: it's going to take him long. I think he's itching
Speaker 6: to get out there. But what I'm excited to see
Speaker 6: out of Dak is, like we had mentioned earlier, Aisha
Speaker 6: had brought up that article a while back, is how
Speaker 6: he said, I took a step back. I saw things
Speaker 6: from a new perspective, and it can just be simple.
Speaker 6: So what I'm really excited to see is Dak's new
Speaker 6: perspective show when he's playing and not maybe changing the
Speaker 6: play calling as much and not calling off certain things
Speaker 6: and instead just believing in his own skill set, because
Speaker 6: I think the best version of Dak comes when he
Speaker 6: believes in himself. He has the complete total trust and
Speaker 6: belief from the rest of his team, from the rest
Speaker 6: of his offense. I think when when you see Dak struggling,
Speaker 6: it's a it's a mental fight, and that's I think
Speaker 6: that's so important for anybody to shed light on because
Speaker 6: that's so relatable. I mean, really, when when you look
Speaker 6: at your worst days, who's your worst critic? Yourself? And
Speaker 6: and I think Dak Prescott coming back off of yet
Speaker 6: another adversity in his life, is just going to show
Speaker 6: something that is so beautiful. And I'm on the Dak
Speaker 6: hype train. I'm so excited to get QB one back.
Speaker 9: What about you, I think, sigematically, you should be.
Speaker 8: I think that I'm excited about it because when you
Speaker 8: look at the film, you see so many instances where
Speaker 8: you say to yourself, Okay, I think Dak would have
Speaker 8: made that second read. Okay, I think Dak could have
Speaker 8: got that two yards here. I think you get in
Speaker 8: those third those all those third and short situations yesterday,
Speaker 8: they're like or RPO situations there, and Cooper Rush is
Speaker 8: not the guy that's gonna do that. And if you
Speaker 8: also look at the Eagles defense as a whole this
Speaker 8: last game, you could tell that they knew what they
Speaker 8: were getting at quarterback. They knew the type of quarterback
Speaker 8: they were playing again, so schematically, I think that you
Speaker 8: get more in your passing game in this And then
Speaker 8: also too, I think Dak is returning to an offensive
Speaker 8: line I talked about yesterday that is more put together
Speaker 8: than it was at to start the year. I think
Speaker 8: this offensive line is slowly but surely coming together.
Speaker 9: A lot of young guys like we talked about.
Speaker 8: But I think that and like you said, he gets better.
Speaker 8: You get better because he's in the room, Like you
Speaker 8: get better because he's in the room. He's there, He's
Speaker 8: already been in the room, it sounds like anyway, but
Speaker 8: to this capacity to be leading this team, it's important
Speaker 8: for him to be there.
Speaker 9: And I think that your defense is gonna rejoice to And.
Speaker 6: You were talking about growth earlier. We're talking about, you know,
Speaker 6: have the Cowboys gotten better? I think finally getting Dak back,
Speaker 6: you have the stability and you have finally kind of
Speaker 6: that ground to grow from. So I think if you
Speaker 6: want to talk about growth, we're gonna see it even
Speaker 6: from this week, if he starts. You know, we can't
Speaker 6: say it's official yet, but if whenever Dak's starting point
Speaker 6: is to the following week, you're going to see growth
Speaker 6: every week. And I think that's just such a key
Speaker 6: thing for Dak is he's not going to stop improving.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you keyt in on something that the leadership.
Speaker 4: I think it's obviously it's common for your quarterback to
Speaker 4: be a leader, right, but I think this period in
Speaker 4: Dak's career has really kind of shifted the way he
Speaker 4: thinks about leadership. And something interesting. Trayvon Diggs and Micah
Speaker 4: Parsons went on a podcast called The Pivot Podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and Micah was asked about Dak Prescott and asked, you
Speaker 4: know about his injury and how he's handled it, and
Speaker 4: Micah said, the thing that's been the most impressive is
Speaker 4: that Dak was never sad, He was never down, he
Speaker 4: was never you know, pitying me feel sorry for myself.
Speaker 4: He has just been a constant positive reinforcement in the
Speaker 4: locker room on the sideline, you know, when he's.
Speaker 5: Coaching up his guys or whatever it is.
Speaker 4: And I think that that takes a special kind of leadership,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, because it's hard to be
Speaker 4: It's hard when you're sitting there and you know you're
Speaker 4: the guy, Like the quarterback controversy was a joke.
Speaker 5: You know you're that guy, right, yeah, right, And yet
Speaker 5: here you are.
Speaker 4: You're having to watch fans who rock your jersey every
Speaker 4: week talk about leave Cooper in. People are still saying
Speaker 4: on Twitter, leave Cooper in.
Speaker 9: Oh right, you have that.
Speaker 4: You have this guy who's performing better than expectations. And
Speaker 4: not that he ever wished on Cooper's downfall, but it's
Speaker 4: that natural instinct inside you. I think Christy was the one,
Speaker 4: or Jane was the one maybe who talked about it
Speaker 4: of wanting to be a competitor, but I just thought
Speaker 4: that insight was so cool to know that, like on
Speaker 4: the opposite side of the ball, these guys are seeing
Speaker 4: what Dak brings to the table as a leadership, and
Speaker 4: so I think this injury, I mean, he probably won't
Speaker 4: see it that way, but it's been such a positive
Speaker 4: thing for him.
Speaker 8: And I'm really excited about seeing if this this because,
Speaker 8: like I said, this offense has gotten back to going
Speaker 8: downhill with the run game and stuff, and I personally
Speaker 8: have said that I think that Dak Prescott is as
Speaker 8: a run has always been important to his game, and
Speaker 8: it's been talked about. I wonder if some of the
Speaker 8: grit that this offensive line is starting to play with
Speaker 8: rubs off on him a little bit and we start
Speaker 8: to see a couple of stiff arms.
Speaker 9: Sometimes.
Speaker 8: I know people get tight in their chest, but we
Speaker 8: can't play scared no more like I don't, and I
Speaker 8: think maybe he's not. I hope that he wouldn't come
Speaker 8: out here and play scared, but I think that maybe
Speaker 8: at adding some of what Jalen Hurts was able to
Speaker 8: do to this Cowboys defense to what Dak Prescott can
Speaker 8: do could be also helpful to this offense as well.
Speaker 9: So I'm looking for him to come out.
Speaker 8: Play comfortable because he has something to come back to
Speaker 8: that's kind of been floating, right, and see if we
Speaker 8: get some more explosive play splash plays sometimes in this
Speaker 8: offense as well.
Speaker 6: I also think he is going to give these wide
Speaker 6: receivers a lot of confidence to play with. And again
Speaker 6: I'm talking about stability when you know and of course
Speaker 6: there's conversations that go on that we don't ever know about,
Speaker 6: we don't get to hear. But when you have your
Speaker 6: QB one finally in, you can start to see that
Speaker 6: chemistry and the connection with DAK and Noah Brown or
Speaker 6: DAK and Michael Gallup, you can finally see that building.
Speaker 6: So I think getting that wide receiver core more confident
Speaker 6: in themselves and and with who they're playing with, it
Speaker 6: is going to show. And I'm excited.
Speaker 8: Let's protection tight ends get some get a little bit
Speaker 8: more burned. I mean, listen, these young titands are also
Speaker 8: coming together too. I think we can see them maybe
Speaker 8: get more depending on what's happening. We haven't talked about it,
Speaker 8: but depending on what's happening with Dalton Schultz, I think
Speaker 8: also too, you can see the tight ends get a
Speaker 8: little bit more burned too, because you're not with the
Speaker 8: DAK being a little bit more mobile, I think you'll
Speaker 8: have less max protection situations as well.
Speaker 9: So yeah, yeah, let's see.
Speaker 5: Let's see.
Speaker 8: Let's see lines lines, lines got a couple, They got
Speaker 8: a couple guys over there.
Speaker 9: They can make some stuff shake, So we'll get to
Speaker 9: it to mile.
Speaker 6: But Yeah, overall though, I think the message here is,
Speaker 6: you know what, it's a loss, You move on, you
Speaker 6: turn the page, and you have a lot of very
Speaker 6: exciting things to look forward to long season.
Speaker 8: Y'all's like eleven mo week, see this thing, we got
Speaker 8: a minute, Calm down.
Speaker 5: I love it, moth. We do not have eleven more weeks.
