<v Speaker 5>Welcome into Girls Talk, Boys Talk, brought to you by

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 5>Jigsaw Dating. Today the first day the Cowboys players are

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 5>finding themselves back on the field following Monday night's unprecedented

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 5>event and the injury to build safety DeMar Hamlin, and

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 5>as we all continue to wait for news and pray

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 5>for Hamlin's recovery, we were able to catch up with

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 5>both head coach Mike McCarthy today as well as the players.

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 6>Hayley, you were in the press conference Mike McCarthy today.

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 5>Maybe just give us a couple of highlights from that

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 5>and how he's making sure that players check in not

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 5>only with themselves but each other.

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 3>I loved how I think regardless, that was the first

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>question he was asked, but I think regardless, it was

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 3>on his list of things to start with immediately, So

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 3>I love that he really just expressed his concern for

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 3>Damar and his family sending condolences. But I really thought

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 3>was interesting though, is obviously all these teams across the

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 3>NFL are you talking about damar talking about how it's

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 3>impacted those players. And one of the things that Mike

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 3>said that really stood out to me is that they

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 3>opened the spiritual playbook today. They spent time with the

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 3>team chaplain and really opened up, leaning into the emotions,

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 3>what everyone was feeling, what everyone was not feeling, and

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 3>really making sure that those guys are nourished from that way.

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 3>And we've talked so often about how Mike McCarthy is

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 3>a pros pro when it comes to taking care of

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 3>these guys, but as you mentioned, this is unprecedented. We've

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 3>never really seen an injury like this before. So he

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 3>continues to impress me with his ability to be a

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 3>player's coach, maybe in a little bit of a different

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 3>way than we think of that word players coach. So

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 3>that was the number one thing that stood out to me.

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Talked about making sure the guys had spiritual guidance. That's

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 3>what they needed, he said, I wrote downs, be honest,

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 3>no one is fine, no matter what we're saying. We

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 3>know what's in front of us. But right now, spiritually,

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 3>our playbook needed to be open. So I just thought

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 3>it was really important that he was keeping those guys

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 3>at the forefront, making sure that they're all looking out

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 3>for one another. He also said that he did not

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 3>see the play live. He said he heard about it.

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 3>It was obviously jarring. He talked about experiences that he's

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 3>had in the past with some players, so it really

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 3>resonates with a lot of us. It hits a little

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 3>bit personal to some of the players in the locker

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 3>room as well, which we'll get into. But I really

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.519
<v Speaker 3>just thought, you know, it's just so challenging to put

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.519
<v Speaker 3>into words what everybody watched and what everybody saw and

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 3>how we feel. And I really just loved that term

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 3>spiritual playbook because you don't hear that a lot, and

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 3>so I thought that it was really good that they

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 3>were able to lean into that.

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, watching it and this is this is

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 5>not a great comparison at all. It's actually maybe I

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 5>should be careful and even making this comparison. But when

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 5>we think about things that we've never seen live on

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 5>television television before, I kind of go back a little

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 5>bit to September eleventh. We had never seen planes crashing

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 5>into a building. We'd never seen a football game stop

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 5>down for as long as they did, typically with an injury.

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think back to even Dak Prescott's injury,

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 5>how brutal that was and seeing the emotions in his eyes,

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 5>or I covered a Final Four game with the player

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 5>from Louisville. I don't know if you guys remember how

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 5>horrific that injury was. It was sort of like shock

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 5>and all because you haven't seen it before. I think

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 5>what really stood out watching that game because some weeks

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 5>I have Monday Night Football on, and even I don't

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 5>know if you guys know this, but would talking to

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 5>some of the players in the locker room, I'm not

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 5>sure every one of those guys had Monday Night Football

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 5>on either, because a lot of players sort of take

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 5>a break during the week.

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 6>We've heard them say they're not.

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 5>Watching, so they were sort of watching it as the

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 5>highlights are coming through or whatever. But if you are

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 5>watching it in real time the way that I was,

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 5>and some of the guys that were, like Micah Parson

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 5>said you thought it was a concussion and not saying

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 5>that that's good either. But at least we were used

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 5>to seeing some of that, particularly this year with Twatungua Bayolola,

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 5>but he never gave the thumbs up. And when you

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 5>see football players that you're so used to being superheroesque

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 5>remove their helmets and you're seeing the shock on their faces,

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 5>the concern, the prayers, the tears, you knew it was severe.

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 5>And then when you've got broadcasters that have covered so

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 5>many of these games nothing and very little to say,

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 5>and you don't want to speculate.

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 6>That's just again when I make that.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 5>Comparison, and again I understand it's a little bogus in

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 5>it's like apples to oranges, But it was the shock

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 5>and the raw emotion and the concern for people you

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 5>didn't know is what it felt like. And then having

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 5>people sort of marinate and digest this information a few

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 5>days later, and I think it's good. The update that

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 5>we've been getting is that he's beginning to breathe a

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 5>little bit more on his own. His family members have

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 5>been talking to some of the networks, and so it

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 5>sounds like it's trending in the right direction.

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 6>But as we talk about hitting a little.

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 5>Closer to home, they're a two players that intimately know

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 5>dMar Hamlin and one of those is Quadri Allison, the

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 5>running back that we had acquired. He is from the

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.359
<v Speaker 5>Buffalo area. He told me went to Pittsburgh with Hamlin.

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 5>He said they were really good friends for four years.

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 5>They were texting just a few weeks ago. He commented

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 5>on one of Quadre's fits that he was wearing ahead

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 5>of the game, and he said he even flew up

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 5>there for his draft party, and he was so excited

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 5>when he got drafted to Buffalo because he was from there.

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 5>And so he said, he and his teammates, he said,

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.279
<v Speaker 5>he act he's hit. He didn't even knowingly put on

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 5>his pit shirt today, but he you know, he put

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.479
<v Speaker 5>it on. And he's been in constant contact with a

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 5>lot of his friends and family. And I said, what's

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.279
<v Speaker 5>the one thing you want people to know about demor

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 5>Hamlin that they may not. They're like, his nickname is

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 5>the neighborhood hero, because that's who he was.

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 6>He was a blue collar guy.

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 5>And I said, what is it that you know about

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 5>him that makes you confident he's going to get through this?

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 5>And he goes, it's because he is that blue collar guy,

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 5>he's that hard worker.

0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 6>He's going to figure this out.

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 5>And so, but that's a guy that's in this Dallas

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 5>Cowboys locker room that does a personal connection to him.

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:10.600
<v Speaker 5>Linebacker gabro Cox also was a pre draft workout partner

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 5>with him, and so you don't have to necessarily know

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 5>these guys personally. I think it hits close to home

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 5>because all of these was mark Ingram recently said on

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 5>k Adams Show he had his sister reach out to

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 5>him and said, I wouldn't be mad if you quit

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 5>playing football. You know, Like we've heard Tom Brady's wife

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 5>talk about she didn't care that he was continuing to play,

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 5>but every time she saw him in the game, she

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 5>was worried about him. I think that goes for all

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 5>family members, and you know, I just wonder you don't

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, you're aware of concussions, You're aware of injuries

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 5>to your legs, your ankles, your knees, but when it's

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 5>something as severe as that, I just wonder if there's

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 5>some players that really take that to heart, because we

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 5>have seen guys walk away from the game prematurely because

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 5>they are concerned about their health. And so I think

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 5>all of this is resonating. I think there's a lot

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 5>of conversations being held both with players, coaches, teammates, but

0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 5>also I think internally with their families.

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.480
<v Speaker 8>Absolutely, and something I really I'm glad you bring up

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.719
<v Speaker 8>family because Mike McCarthy always says family first and then football,

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 8>and he echoed that in his press conference this morning

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 8>of this is the time to show family first. In

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 8>this case, it's putting everybody on that team with each other,

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 8>having each other's backs, making sure everybody's okay. And again

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 8>we always praise Mike McCarthy on here for the mental

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 8>health awareness, but just giving the praise really across the

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 8>NFL to make sure that everybody is okay from what

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 8>they saw because again the guys on the field, the

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 8>coaching staff, giving kudos to even just the medical staff

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 8>that acted so quickly. So just prioritizing all of those things.

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 8>But absolutely, I think even I follow one of the

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 8>recently signing of the Raiders players. His wife is viral

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 8>on TikTok Alis and Kosh. I don't know if if

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 8>you follow her, but she talked about it on TikTok

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 8>and she just said, you know this, it's very close

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 8>to home considering I go watch my husband play every

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 8>day and you know, you don't think that this is

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 8>going to happen to your loved one on the field,

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 8>and so even when it happened, knowing that his mom

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 8>was there in the stands having to see that, I

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 8>can't I can't even imagine the emotions that she felt

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 8>just seeing that and the shock. And now that it's

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 8>been a few days, I think that shock factor from

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 8>everybody's starting to come down and you see the reality

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 8>of Okay, what do we do next. We make sure

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 8>you know, everything's okay with everybody that was impacted, because

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 8>it was just such a traumatic and shocking moment for

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 8>everybody that, like you said, Jane, nobody's nobody's seen before.

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.079
<v Speaker 5>Well, you know, Clarence Hill on media Mash made a

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 5>great point. You know Marcus Paul, the team strength and

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 5>conditioning coach, when he went down last year, I remember

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 5>how just shook a lot of these guys were because

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 5>it happened in the weight room. They tried to revive

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 5>him and they didn't, and those guys saw that and

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 5>they ended up having to play after that. That was

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.199
<v Speaker 5>that was tough. I My heart goes out to a

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 5>lot of these Bills players and the Bengals players, for

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 5>that matter. You know, how can you focus on a

0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 5>football game when you when you see something like that,

0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 5>because there are things that feel, you know, bigger than

0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 5>the game itself. And so again there's there's only so

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 5>much you can say. I hate pontificating on this too

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 5>much because it wasn't my family member. I don't have

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.839
<v Speaker 5>a spouse or a loved one that's playing in this league.

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 5>All I know is I cover this game. But my

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 5>heart goes out to them. Is this feels like it's

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 5>really hit close to home for a lot of people.

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 9>It's a lot to consider, it's a lot to reevaluate on.

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 9>And one of the things that Mike McCarthy said that

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 9>stuck out to me and I'm sure we'll go for it,

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 9>but was that he just was talking about each guy

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 9>checking on the other guy, and just the fact that

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 9>there's guys in this locker room that are connected to Hamlin.

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 9>It just reminds me of so much of my military time.

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 9>Like in just a military in general, it's so big,

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 9>but it's so small, and the NFL's like that, like

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 9>a lot of these guys do know each other. A

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 9>lot of these guys did go to college together, were

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.679
<v Speaker 9>roommates together across the league, and just to see how

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 9>it's affecting everyone is something that I think I've seen,

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 9>but just on a different level. So it's it's just

0:09:58.360 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 9>I don't know, it's an emotional thing.

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.199
<v Speaker 5>That is, you do bring something interesting when I think

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 5>about that, You know, because you were in such a

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 5>group of people that you kind of know what you're

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:13.439
<v Speaker 5>getting yourself into, right, And then there are these unexpected situations.

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.319
<v Speaker 6>When it does hit close to home. What is that

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 6>like for It's different.

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 9>It takes quite a bit of time. It took me

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 9>quite a bit of time to snap back into being

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 9>a warrior because when I was in uniform, I took

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 9>it very seriously and I felt like I snapped into

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:32.559
<v Speaker 9>a place.

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 6>To where my survival was it.

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.679
<v Speaker 9>And it was hard for me to rationalize a lot

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 9>of emotions because you don't have the time to feel

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.959
<v Speaker 9>that sometimes. And with them taking this time off right

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 9>now and the team kind of taking some time away,

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 9>it probably is setting in for a lot of guys.

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 9>I had it plenty of times in my military career

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 9>where I was like, what am I.

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.679
<v Speaker 6>Doing right now? And not in a bad.

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.280
<v Speaker 9>Way, because you do that's what you're supposed to do.

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 9>But I know for me and people that I've seen

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 9>and plenty of other veterans, and it takes quite a

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 9>bit of time to snap back into it, and you.

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.959
<v Speaker 6>Have to have people around you. You have to have support.

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 9>So hearing the outpouring of support and people around everyone

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 9>is the first start to me is that everyone's in communication,

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 9>because that I think that's what hurts a lot of veterans,

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 9>and I'm sure is what happens hurts a lot of

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 9>athletes as well.

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:21.679
<v Speaker 3>I just wanted to add really quick because I was

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 3>trying to get this in earlier, but I wanted to

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.839
<v Speaker 3>list you guys talk the update that the bills, the

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 3>latest that they posted about tomorrow. They said tomorrow remains

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 3>in the ICU and critical condition, with signs of improvement

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 3>noted yesterday and overnight. He's expected to remain under intensive

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 3>care as his healthcare team continues to monitor and treat him.

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 3>That was at twelve thirty today. I believe that's the

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 3>most recent update. But to your point of the military background,

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 3>I obviously have never experienced that before, and I always

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 3>give you so much praise for doing what you've done,

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 3>for you know this country and for your family and everything.

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 3>I spend a little bit of time in college in

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.679
<v Speaker 3>athletic training for a couple of years, and one of

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.959
<v Speaker 3>the last projects or last projects, one of the last

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 3>checkpoints you have to make as an athletic trainer is spineboarding.

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 3>You have spineboarding, and then you also have any type

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.320
<v Speaker 3>of like heart condition, how you would handle that on

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 3>the field. And I remember that being like the scariest

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.319
<v Speaker 3>thing to have to pass, because when you think about

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 3>spineboarding and how every single person within that group has

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 3>to do everything exactly perfect otherwise that person is going

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 3>to lose their life.

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:26.479
<v Speaker 6>It's terrifying.

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 3>That being said, I can't imagine what it's like having

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.959
<v Speaker 3>to be a medical professional, you know, in that scenario

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 3>and you've trained for this kind of stuff. I believe

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 3>the term that's floating around, and I don't want to

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 3>say that this is for sure, because I'm obviously not

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 3>a doctor, but commocio cordis is what's been floating around

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.440
<v Speaker 3>where you get an impact at the exact wrong time

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 3>that your heart is beating and it just shuts everything

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 3>down and you go into cardiac rest. So I can't imagine,

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, you do this every day, right like you're

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 3>athletic trainer, you're a doctor, a medical professional, and you

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 3>are ready for this moment until it happens, and then

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden, and for them to be able

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 3>to you know, keep their cool and to keep this

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 3>kid alive, and to keep everybody around them cool, calm

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 3>and collected, and to do what they do. I can't

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:13.679
<v Speaker 3>speak enough on how much medical professionals are so underrated

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 3>a lot of time and so incredibly necessary. And you know,

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 3>so as we say, you know, our prayers for Jamar Hamlin,

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm like prayers to those athletic trainers, prayers to those

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 3>doctors for being able to keep them alive. And I

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 3>also think the one of the most important parts of

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Monday night's game is when both teams came to the

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 3>field and they surrounded Tomorrow so that we couldn't see.

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.840
<v Speaker 3>And I thought that that was such Initially when it happened,

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 3>you were like, what are you doing, Like why are

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 3>you guys on the field to give them some space,

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 3>But obviously retrospect I just thought that that was so

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 3>incredible that they wanted him to even in that moment,

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 3>to say.

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 6>To have some dignity space.

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just I keep when I think about what's happen.

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 3>That's like literally the picture that's up on my Twitter

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.559
<v Speaker 3>right now, it's just like that powerful moment. So we're

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 3>obviously all rooting for him, We're for him, and we're

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 3>hoping for the best. So it sounds like he's improving.

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:04.720
<v Speaker 3>So that's really good.

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.079
<v Speaker 8>And speaking of the medical staff too, something that popped

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 8>up on my timeline because you know, a lot of

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 8>things were coming up. But Chris Progner, he was in

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 8>the NHL and back in nineteen ninety eight, it was

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 8>in a playoff game, something very similar had happened to him,

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 8>and so he tweeted out giving kudos to the medical

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 8>staff that saved his life that day when it happened

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 8>on the ice again it was a blow to the

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 8>chest that he suffered. He posted the video and he

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 8>just gave absolute kudos to say, if the medical staff

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 8>hadn't acted so quickly, I don't know if I would

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 8>be here. Chris went on to play I think the

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 8>next week after all of that, so he said, if

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 8>it wasn't for that medical staff, I would not have

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 8>ever step foot on the ice again. And so again

0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 8>that was that was back in the nineties. That was

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 8>what twenty five years ago that that happened. So this

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 8>is not something that you see often and it's not

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 8>something that you ever want to see in any sport.

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 8>And so yeah, just so many kudos to the medical

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 8>staff that acted quickly to save his life.

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 6>And with that we will take our first break.

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 1>At Jigsaw Dating. We obviously want the Cowboys to bring

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.040

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.040

<v Speaker 8>out to come visit Hayley.

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 6>We have got some injury updates this Wednesday.

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the Cowboys one makes me very happy. Tyler Biattish

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:28.800
<v Speaker 3>out with an ankle injury. Did not practice, but as

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 3>we've talked about, he's looking to be pretty good for

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 3>the playoffs, so that's positive. Kelvin Joseph missed today with

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.440
<v Speaker 3>a tooth injury, and then the same thing with Tank.

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 6>He's got that foot injury. He's been limited with.

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Tony Pollard was a full participant and Leyton vander Esch

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 3>was limited, So positive signs there. I was joking with

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 3>Patrick earlier on Twitter because when we got the Washington

0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:52.119
<v Speaker 3>Commander's injury report, both of us had the same idea.

0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.359
<v Speaker 6>I was going to tweet he beat me to it.

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.879
<v Speaker 3>But like, is everybody using like their unused PTO today

0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.800
<v Speaker 3>because everyone's not practicing. Their entire list of guys did

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 3>not practice. You've got Jonathan Allen, Say, Charles cam Carl Mean, Davis,

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Antonio Gibson, Cornelius Lucas, Andrew Norwell, Brian Robinson Junior, James Smith, Williams,

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Benjamin Saint just and Montes Sweat. All did not practice

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.159
<v Speaker 3>for various reasons. There's a couple concussions.

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.680
<v Speaker 5>On there, so Montes Sweat not on there at Jonathan Allen,

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 5>what's his what's his status?

0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:27.040
<v Speaker 3>Jonathan Allen has a knee injury. Montes Sweat is an illness.

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:28.240
<v Speaker 3>I imagine he'll be fine.

0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.920
<v Speaker 5>But it was a do not participate or did not

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 5>practice for Jonathan Allen.

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Every single player I just listed did not practice and

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.920
<v Speaker 3>that is the Washington Commander's practice report. So, like I said,

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of a PTO lingering over from the

0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty two year. They wanted to get out of

0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:42.240
<v Speaker 3>the way.

0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:49.359
<v Speaker 5>So Ron Rivera didn't seem like he had ah didn't

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:53.520
<v Speaker 5>seem like he necessarily had a plan to sit or

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.920
<v Speaker 5>play his starters just yet, and he talked about the

0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 5>importance of having them available next year. This is a

0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 5>seven and eight seven eight and one team.

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:05.480
<v Speaker 6>They've gone through.

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 5>How many different quarterbacks, Haley, We had this fun little

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:08.160
<v Speaker 5>stat earlier.

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:12.359
<v Speaker 3>They have been through three quarterbacks this season. Let me

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.840
<v Speaker 3>find it, eight different starters though under Ron Rivera in

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:18.679
<v Speaker 3>three seasons, and Sam Howell will now be the thirty

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 3>third quarterback to start since Washington's nineteen ninety one Super

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Bowl victory.

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.399
<v Speaker 6>So now let's talk about Sam Howe.

0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:30.159
<v Speaker 5>Sam Howe has never had an NFL start. They're going

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.959
<v Speaker 5>to play him against the Cowboys because, as Ron Rivera

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:38.639
<v Speaker 5>incredulously learned in the postgame last weekend, they're eliminated. There were,

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 5>to be fair, there were a couple of scenarios that

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.880
<v Speaker 5>needed to happen for them to be eliminated. But this

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 5>press conference announcing Sam Howe as a starter. After this morning,

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 5>it was leaked that Taylor Heineke was going to get

0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 5>the start after Carson Wentz was an absolute disaster inactive. Yeah, yeah,

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 5>Carson Wentz may yeah, he may not even dress out

0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:59.159
<v Speaker 5>for this one. He was sixteen of twenty eight for

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 5>one hundred and forty three yards, three picks in a

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 5>rushing touchdown. So we're hearing this morning early and I'm

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 5>prepping for the week that Taylor Heineke's getting the start,

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:10.480
<v Speaker 5>Which makes sense, right because I think Taylor has not.

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:12.960
<v Speaker 5>I thought he's been decent in some of his starts.

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 5>A lot of people were shocked that he wasn't your starter.

0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:20.400
<v Speaker 5>Last weekend here's Ron Rivera confusing us all and if

0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.879
<v Speaker 5>i'm Sam Howe, I'm like man, the bar has been

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.119
<v Speaker 5>set pretty low. Here here's the sound jazz can he

0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:25.719
<v Speaker 5>plays for us.

0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:29.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think at first initially is obviously it's it

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.080
<v Speaker 4>would be his first start, and it would become a

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 4>little bit of a circus, you know, having to deal

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:37.480
<v Speaker 4>with all the things that come with being a starter.

0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 4>But also uh, you know, you look at the opponent

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:46.119
<v Speaker 4>and who you're playing and what they're playing for. You know,

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.440
<v Speaker 4>going with Taylor would have given us an opportunity to

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 4>see what they're doing, how they're doing it, and would

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 4>have given Sam a chance to take a look at it,

0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, if we had gone with Taylor. But you know,

0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:57.000
<v Speaker 4>at the end of the day, you know, at some

0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 4>point if if Sam ever gets the opportunity to be

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.240
<v Speaker 4>a start of this, would the chance why not get

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 4>it over with now and go from there. But the

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.200
<v Speaker 4>most important thing is that we're really intrigued in terms

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 4>of watching and seeing what Sam can do as a

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 4>as a quarterback in this leg.

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 6>I just want to get it out of the way.

0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 6>This is a tryout, right, just want to see what

0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:18.960
<v Speaker 6>he Of course it's a trial. This is a tryout

0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:21.840
<v Speaker 6>right now, like they was you.

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:24.439
<v Speaker 3>Though, because he is I was reading earlier too that

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.919
<v Speaker 3>he is the only quarterback that is guaranteed to come

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 3>back next year.

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:30.119
<v Speaker 6>So I get the trial.

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, want to know what you got, But it does

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 5>it does present an interesting challenge for the Cowboys. And

0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 5>I asked Marcus Lawrence about this and Micah Parsons. You know,

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.120
<v Speaker 5>if we think about it, in the last couple of weeks,

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:43.119
<v Speaker 5>they've seen a lot of quarterbacks they haven't had a

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:43.880
<v Speaker 5>lot of looks on, but.

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 6>They've got nothing on this guy.

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 5>Now. Mica did talk about a little bit of familiarity

0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 5>given the fact they were both in the same draft

0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:51.760
<v Speaker 5>class and you're sort of familiar with some of these guys,

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.119
<v Speaker 5>and he talked about this as a guy you know,

0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 5>going to have to respect here, but you don't. Someone

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.359
<v Speaker 5>brought up this interesting point. You knew what you were

0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 5>getting with Carson Wentz, like who his guy was, right,

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.359
<v Speaker 5>you knew that when you've got Taylor Heineke, who his

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 5>guys like Cooper Rush.

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 6>We knew his guy was like sort of Noah Brown.

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:11.480
<v Speaker 6>Who's Sam Howell's guy.

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 9>I think I caught some preseason looks at him, and

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:19.440
<v Speaker 9>he likes Johan Dotson even creeped and found some training

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 9>camp stuff.

0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:22.120
<v Speaker 6>From them, and I think a chance.

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 9>The thing about Sam Man is like he's just a

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 9>oh no, he just seems like a gamer, like he's

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 9>ready to go, but he's shifty. He has some dual

0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:32.280
<v Speaker 9>threat ability, and he also is not afraid to throw

0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:33.080
<v Speaker 9>the ball downfield.

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 3>He's not afraid to throw the ball. Sorry. He was

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:40.320
<v Speaker 3>forty three, yes, sixty nine for twenty three yards. No,

0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:45.240
<v Speaker 3>that's forty three of sixty nine. He's sixty two percent

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:48.320
<v Speaker 3>completion five and forty seven passing yards.

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:50.879
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I just feel like Ron Rivera at this

0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:52.240
<v Speaker 5>point is sort of putting his hands up in the

0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:54.560
<v Speaker 5>air and saying one not I give it nine sacks.

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:58.239
<v Speaker 8>So what's interesting, too is Ron Rivera talked about how

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:00.240
<v Speaker 8>this kind of all came to be, and so when

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.159
<v Speaker 8>Carson Wins got injured, he was taking a lot of

0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:05.199
<v Speaker 8>the backup quarterback reps, but he was told, you need

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 8>to work on your footwork. And your decision making, and

0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:10.920
<v Speaker 8>so now you know, Ron Rivera went on to say, oh, yeah,

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 8>we had conversations with players and coaches and all of

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:14.280
<v Speaker 8>the stuff we day.

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 6>I can tell you ye, no, they didn't to say.

0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:20.440
<v Speaker 8>That he fixed those things. And so it's just very

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:27.640
<v Speaker 8>interesting that the decision was made so sporadically. But yeah, I.

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 6>Mean, there's more to let me do it, trust me

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:32.320
<v Speaker 6>on this story. Oh we do.

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 3>I just also feel like, though, like, what do they

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 3>have to lose in this?

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:38.840
<v Speaker 5>You know what I mean? The probably just like, look,

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.439
<v Speaker 5>Washington's been a spoiler before. That's what I'm saying, and like,

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:43.439
<v Speaker 5>and this is why I bring all this up and

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 5>we'll get a little bit more into it tomorrow. Offense

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 5>has been a little spotty, as you talk about John

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:52.200
<v Speaker 5>Dottson though he leads the team and receiving touchdowns with seven,

0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:54.879
<v Speaker 5>he's got what thirty two catches four or fifty one yards,

0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:57.359
<v Speaker 5>but it's their pass rush that's top ten in the league.

0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 5>And in fact, when I'm looking at their defense here

0:23:59.560 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 5>hold on.

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 6>Oh back, it's insane.

0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:02.919
<v Speaker 1>They're front seven.

0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 5>I mean, they heavily invested in this side of the ball.

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:08.879
<v Speaker 5>And even as who was it I was talking to today.

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:10.720
<v Speaker 6>I was talking to a bunch of.

0:24:10.560 --> 0:24:14.360
<v Speaker 5>Offensive linemen and they said, they're front seven. Guys are studs.

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 5>This is Connor McGovern. They always win their one on ones.

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 5>And I think that's interesting that they do have a

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:25.719
<v Speaker 5>very very good defense now. And I'm also looking at

0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 5>this offensive line for the Cowboys. I have never seen

0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 5>so many different combination shifts. And I asked Zach Martin

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:33.879
<v Speaker 5>in all your time you played it, Notre Dame, you

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 5>played in Dallas, fierce and anything like this.

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:36.159
<v Speaker 6>He said no.

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:38.359
<v Speaker 5>And I said, at one point, did you guys ever

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 5>get a little frustrated that you were playing so many

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 5>different guys at a position? He said, yeah, he said,

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:45.159
<v Speaker 5>but look how much how well it's working at this

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:48.160
<v Speaker 5>point this year. In fact, it was Connor McGovern Tyler

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 5>Biattis who told me that during the week, going through

0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:58.399
<v Speaker 5>my copious notes listeners, there's that AMR stuff. Ten to

0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:00.639
<v Speaker 5>twelve breaths a week is how much. Yeah, tended to

0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:03.960
<v Speaker 5>twelve reps a week. They practice these guys out of position,

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 5>and so they've just they've been doing this just in case,

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 5>not obviously, not to this degree that they expect that

0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 5>they were going to need to do this. But it

0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 5>is wild to me that you can go in game

0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:17.159
<v Speaker 5>and just say, hey, Connor, we're going to kick you

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:20.200
<v Speaker 5>in to center. We're gonna move Jason Peters over to

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 5>left tackle, and hey Tyler, who's a rookie, We've already

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:24.120
<v Speaker 5>put a lot on your plate this year.

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 6>Bud, you're gonna move over to left guard? Is that cool?

0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 6>And they seem to be doing okay. Yeah, it's not

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:30.840
<v Speaker 6>normal at all.

0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 5>And then I think what was really fascinating to me

0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:35.880
<v Speaker 5>is I did listen to this comment from Stephen Jones

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 5>on One to Fight through the Fan when we talked

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 5>about the high ankle sprain for Connor McGovern eric Tyler botdish.

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 6>And he's like, I gotta keep it together. And he said,

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:44.920
<v Speaker 6>Tyler beyotdish.

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:47.199
<v Speaker 5>When you've it's the same high ankle sprain on the

0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 5>same ankle, it tends to heal quicker.

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:52.000
<v Speaker 6>And I said, what is that like? Explain that to me.

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:53.440
<v Speaker 6>Are you like a starfish?

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:56.560
<v Speaker 5>And Tyler said, look, I'm no doctor. He said, but

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:58.479
<v Speaker 5>it's kind of almost like a muscle memory, like it

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:01.600
<v Speaker 5>knows what to do. And so he feels good. You've

0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 5>talked about this before. He feels like he's going to

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:05.959
<v Speaker 5>be ready to go by playoffs. But to have this

0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 5>sort of flexibility on the offensive line is something we've

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 5>not seen in Dallas, and they've had themselves in a

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 5>tough position and we've knocked Joe Filben. I don't know

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:16.000
<v Speaker 5>if it's been on this show, but it's been on

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 5>at least media match before when we looked at this

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:19.440
<v Speaker 5>offensive line.

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 6>But say what you will about Joe.

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:21.840
<v Speaker 5>And I even said this to Joe Filban as he

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:24.400
<v Speaker 5>walked out of the locker room the other day. I go, Huh,

0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 5>they're really making you earn that paycheck this year, aren't they.

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:28.919
<v Speaker 5>And he just kind of gave this, like I mean,

0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:31.560
<v Speaker 5>it's been a lot for coach, and like I said,

0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:33.439
<v Speaker 5>credit to him, and credit to these guys who have

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 5>stepped up the way that they have this year and

0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.679
<v Speaker 5>even in the draft process in recent years. Remember they

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 5>keep talking about they want position flex at certain positions, and.

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:41.879
<v Speaker 6>You know it's worked out for him.

0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:43.160
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 3>I was just gonna say earlier, as someone who has

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 3>literally one ligament left in both of my ankles after

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:52.679
<v Speaker 3>twenty plus years of competitive soccer, it's a weird phenomenon.

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 3>With I don't know if this is like with knees

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 3>or with any other body part. I can only speak

0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:58.879
<v Speaker 3>on ankles because mine are terrible. But it is this

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 3>thing like now, it's so funny. I'll be walking and

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:03.280
<v Speaker 3>I'll just like roll my ankle and I'm like, oh,

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:06.000
<v Speaker 3>and then it hurts for like five minutes or depending

0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:07.479
<v Speaker 3>on the severity of it, it hurts for a little bit,

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:09.600
<v Speaker 3>and then like the next day it's fine. So I

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:11.240
<v Speaker 3>would love to know. I'd love to sit down and

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:13.240
<v Speaker 3>chat with the science as far as like why that

0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:16.879
<v Speaker 3>is what it is. But I can confirm as a

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:19.719
<v Speaker 3>source that I don't know what it is about ankles,

0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 3>but they do that.

0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:21.639
<v Speaker 6>Thing so well.

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:24.000
<v Speaker 5>Connorc Governn did say something interesting to me too today.

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:26.320
<v Speaker 5>So I said, when you're in practice, you know, it's

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 5>a different look moving from a guard position to a center.

0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:31.919
<v Speaker 5>And he says he catches himself at times because there

0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 5>is a different level of spotting and you're setting the

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:37.399
<v Speaker 5>offense and the offensive line as a center, and so

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:39.880
<v Speaker 5>as a guard you're looking at certain things. But he says,

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:42.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm catching myself in practice and even film study. Oh

0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 5>wait a minute, that's not my job. This week, and

0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:48.080
<v Speaker 5>so I do think that that's interesting. And you know,

0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:50.960
<v Speaker 5>luckily offensive line is typically your smartest guys on the

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 5>team that they're able to sort of figure.

0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 6>The stuff out.

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.600
<v Speaker 5>But I mean, it just felt like this guy was

0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 5>falling at the beginning of the season.

0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:58.959
<v Speaker 6>Just losing Tyron Smith.

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think you've lost every guy on this line

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:03.439
<v Speaker 5>except for Zach Martin this season.

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:04.199
<v Speaker 6>Am I wrong on that?

0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:07.680
<v Speaker 8>I think Tyler Tyler Yeah, and Tyler's been yeah.

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 9>And Tyler then he did with an ankle or something

0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:11.680
<v Speaker 9>for a little bit, but he was still playing.

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:13.360
<v Speaker 3>The Tyler's missed a game.

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:15.080
<v Speaker 6>They didn't miss a game. We did.

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 9>There you go Barnacles, No, you brought up Now you

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 9>brought up the offensive line. And going into this game

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:23.439
<v Speaker 9>because of how good this it could get.

0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 5>Physical, because that Tennessee game was physically Yeah, say what

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 5>you will about Tennessee. They brought Mike Rabel always brings

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 5>those guys, and that was that was a that was

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:31.440
<v Speaker 5>a tough game.

0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:31.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:33.840
<v Speaker 9>And if this if this defensive line, like, if you

0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 9>don't know how good they are, well, number one, you

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:37.960
<v Speaker 9>brought up how beefy they are. I'm like, they they

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 9>drafted those guys to stop the Cowboys run game, Like,

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 9>of course it's gonna be like that, but I was

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:46.239
<v Speaker 9>gonna say, I like what they do defensively with their

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 9>front seven, and with the Cowboys. They the last time

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:51.920
<v Speaker 9>they played the Commanders, they had put up like one

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 9>hundred and seventy eight yards on the ground against the

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:58.560
<v Speaker 9>Giants the week before and came out against the Commanders

0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 9>and could barely run the ball. I think they only

0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:04.240
<v Speaker 9>average like two point nine yards of carry, was very minimal.

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 9>So if that doesn't tell you how well this front

0:29:07.560 --> 0:29:09.800
<v Speaker 9>seven can defend, obviously, you've got some guys coming in

0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:13.080
<v Speaker 9>this offensive line, in this offense that's kind of been

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:16.680
<v Speaker 9>weird with running the ball this last couple of weeks.

0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:19.120
<v Speaker 9>You're trying to find some good traction going into the playoffs.

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 9>I would like to see how well they schematically figure

0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:24.800
<v Speaker 9>out ways to run the ball, get the tight ends involved,

0:29:24.800 --> 0:29:26.000
<v Speaker 9>stuff like that in this game.

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 5>I love that you brought that up, because Zach Martin

0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 5>and I did have that discussion. I said, how much

0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 5>does it help that you've had tighten help this year?

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:33.800
<v Speaker 5>And he mentioned the fact, I mean, look how many

0:29:33.840 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 5>times we've gone to four tight end sets and I said, specifically,

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 5>what does that do to an opposing defense? He said,

0:29:39.120 --> 0:29:41.560
<v Speaker 5>when you've got big body guys that have speed on

0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:44.360
<v Speaker 5>you, you've really got it just as a defense with the

0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:46.160
<v Speaker 5>personnel that you're putting out in the field. And so

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 5>it has been a distinct advantage. And he says he

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 5>also can't remember when you've had a running back duo

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:53.640
<v Speaker 5>that has been as effective. In fact, I think it

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 5>was brought up today, the Cowboys have never had a

0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 5>running back duo. We're both have gone for nine hundred

0:29:58.120 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 5>and over and you've got Zeke that I think is

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 5>like what one hundred and forty shy of getting a

0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 5>thousand yards a season, and you've got Tony Pollard who

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:09.680
<v Speaker 5>only needs twelve. So kudos to them for you know, again,

0:30:09.720 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 5>we've we were talking about this in media mash. This

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:16.800
<v Speaker 5>is the most heavily scrutinized twelve win team besides the

0:30:16.880 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 5>Vikings this season. But the things that we've seen in

0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 5>Dallas are different than seeing things that we've seen in

0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 5>Dallas in years past. They've talked about wanting a commitment

0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:28.840
<v Speaker 5>to the run game, we've seen it. We've talked about

0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:32.800
<v Speaker 5>the importance of it's not always the guys on the

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:35.640
<v Speaker 5>roster that should be playing. It's the most talented guys

0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:38.120
<v Speaker 5>and we're seeing that. I mean, think about the amount

0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:41.800
<v Speaker 5>of looks at Peyton Hendershot and Jake Ferguson have gotten

0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:45.400
<v Speaker 5>over your franchise tag guy, Dalton Schultz at times, Tony

0:30:45.520 --> 0:30:49.160
<v Speaker 5>Pollard over Ezekiel, and it's not necessarily over. It's sort

0:30:49.160 --> 0:30:51.239
<v Speaker 5>of saving the legs of some of these guys, so

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:53.719
<v Speaker 5>you have a fresher look sometimes.

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:55.160
<v Speaker 8>Something too I wanted to throw in. While we're on

0:30:55.200 --> 0:30:57.360
<v Speaker 8>the topic of tight ends and on the other side

0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 8>of the ball, Washington I think is going to use

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:01.280
<v Speaker 8>a lot of their younger tight ends to try to

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 8>mimic that same model that the Cowboys have put out

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 8>with this tight end group, because well, you have a

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 8>brand new quarterback who was making his NFL start. You

0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 8>need all the protection you can get. So these young

0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:14.920
<v Speaker 8>tight ends, specifically John Bates and Cole Turner, I think,

0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:17.120
<v Speaker 8>are going to get their reps in for this game.

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:23.160
<v Speaker 8>Logan Thomas Clutch for Washington, but John Baits specifically last

0:31:23.240 --> 0:31:26.520
<v Speaker 8>couple of years not impressive. I mean, in twenty twenty

0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:29.920
<v Speaker 8>one he averaged four nearly fifteen yards per game and

0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 8>then this year nearly eight. But Cole Turner had his

0:31:34.160 --> 0:31:37.840
<v Speaker 8>best game in Thursday night against the Bears. He had

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:39.720
<v Speaker 8>two targets for twenty three yards, but one of which

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:42.240
<v Speaker 8>was eighteen yards. Not impressive with the passing, but I

0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:45.160
<v Speaker 8>think when it comes to blocking and making sure that

0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:47.360
<v Speaker 8>Sam Howell is protected, I think the tight ends for

0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 8>Washington are going to play a big part in that.

0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Mike McCarthy said something interesting today too, whenever he was asked,

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:54.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, how do you prepare for you know, different

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:56.800
<v Speaker 3>quarterbacks or what you're looking for when you have these

0:31:56.840 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 3>types of matchups, and he says he looks at three

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:01.560
<v Speaker 3>different things from a statistic in an analytical standpoint, he

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 3>looks at time of possession, rushes and completions for your offense,

0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:06.240
<v Speaker 3>and rushes and completions allowed.

0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 6>So I went back and.

0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Looked at Washington and how well they do that. We

0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:10.680
<v Speaker 3>know that they have the best third down defense in

0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:12.720
<v Speaker 3>the league, which I think will be very interesting matching

0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 3>up with Team White, Hilt Yes and the rest of

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 3>the Cowboys offense. Factoring in the tight ends, because when

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 3>you looked at the last matchup, you didn't really have

0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:24.000
<v Speaker 3>the established tight ends the way they have established and developed.

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:26.200
<v Speaker 3>Now you mentioned being limited on the ground. I think

0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Zeke had like fourteen carries for forty nine yards and

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Tony was like six carries for eight yards, So it

0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 3>wasn't very good from that perspective, but again, the one

0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:38.440
<v Speaker 3>two punches developed. So when you look at those things

0:32:38.600 --> 0:32:41.200
<v Speaker 3>that Mike McCarthy was talking about time of possession, Washington

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:42.600
<v Speaker 3>leads the league in time of possession.

0:32:42.600 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 6>They've had the ball.

0:32:43.680 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 3>For five and four five hundred and thirty more minutes

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:50.200
<v Speaker 3>and thirty five seconds, but they've only scored thirty three

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 3>touchdowns in that time and they've only scored two hundred

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:56.200
<v Speaker 3>and ninety five points, so eighteen point four points per game.

0:32:56.320 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 3>That's what you're looking at with that Washington team. As

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 3>far as the rushes and the completions. From a passing standpoint,

0:33:03.800 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 3>they've had three hundred and twenty three first downs. That's

0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 3>not important though, because I'm at the wrong part of

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 3>my notes. They've had nineteen nine hundred ninety two rushing

0:33:14.320 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 3>yards on four hundred and ninety seven attempts. That's good

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:19.480
<v Speaker 3>for fourteenth and eighth in the NFL. This season. They're

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:22.920
<v Speaker 3>averaging about four yards per carry. From a passing standpoint,

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:25.560
<v Speaker 3>they've thrown for three thousand, six hundred and fourteen yards

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:28.680
<v Speaker 3>on five hundred and thirty four attempts, good for twenty

0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:31.360
<v Speaker 3>first and nineteenth in the league. They're getting about six

0:33:31.400 --> 0:33:34.400
<v Speaker 3>point eight yards per pass from whichever quarterback lines up

0:33:34.400 --> 0:33:37.680
<v Speaker 3>behind center. And I think that that is important because

0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:42.760
<v Speaker 3>you talk about the defense being so effective. Defense wins championships, yes,

0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:44.960
<v Speaker 3>but if your offense isn't complementing that, we've seen that

0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:47.320
<v Speaker 3>with this Cowboys team, you're not going to get very

0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:51.080
<v Speaker 3>far right. So, sure that the defense can hold you great,

0:33:51.120 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 3>but if your offense isn't producing, that number is right there,

0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:55.160
<v Speaker 3>tells you that they're going to have to work a

0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:57.440
<v Speaker 3>little bit harder. Now you're factoring in a quarterback who's

0:33:57.480 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 3>never gotten true game reps. I think this bow really

0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 3>well for the Cowboys. I also went back and looked

0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 3>at those same numbers for the Cowboys just for reference,

0:34:04.160 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 3>so I could understand. Daubts ranks sixteenth in time of

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 3>possession four hundred and seventy nine minutes and fifty seven seconds,

0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 3>but they've scored fifty four touchdowns four hundred and sixty

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:16.480
<v Speaker 3>one points, They are second in the NFL with twenty

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:20.000
<v Speaker 3>eight point eight points per game. They have passed for

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:23.200
<v Speaker 3>three thousand, seven hundred and eighty three yards on five

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:26.400
<v Speaker 3>hundred and eighteenth passes. That's good for sixteenth and twentieth

0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:28.560
<v Speaker 3>in the league. As for rushing, they have rushed for

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:31.160
<v Speaker 3>two thousand, two hundred and thirty four yards on five

0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:34.279
<v Speaker 3>hundred and four carries. That is good for seventh and

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 3>fifth in the NFL. So we've talked about it time

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:39.520
<v Speaker 3>and time again on this podcast. How do you get

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:41.919
<v Speaker 3>your offense to go? You lean on the run game.

0:34:41.960 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 3>I think this is a really good opportunity to get

0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:46.840
<v Speaker 3>Zeke and Tony to that thousand yard mark and to

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:49.080
<v Speaker 3>really show like we're going into the playoffs on high note.

0:34:49.120 --> 0:34:50.360
<v Speaker 5>I think the good news when you look at this

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:54.120
<v Speaker 5>game is offensively, they're bottom of the barrel this year,

0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:56.480
<v Speaker 5>so you're not going to find yourself necessarily in a shootout.

0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:58.560
<v Speaker 6>But this defense is tough.

0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:00.560
<v Speaker 5>I mean, to your point, they are the fourth rate

0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:04.160
<v Speaker 5>total defense fourteenth and scoring defense fourteenth, and rushing D

0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:07.400
<v Speaker 5>fifth in scoring D and then as you said, first

0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:09.480
<v Speaker 5>and third down and they're also tenth and sacks. So

0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:12.160
<v Speaker 5>this is gonna be a tough team defensively, That's why

0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:13.560
<v Speaker 5>you need your offense on. But I don't think the

0:35:13.600 --> 0:35:16.080
<v Speaker 5>Cowbys gonna get themselves in a shootout that we've seen

0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:18.479
<v Speaker 5>in some of these other games this year.

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:21.600
<v Speaker 6>But I was there in Nashville, Yall. That was a

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 6>nasty game. Finding out umbrella. I pathetic.

0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:28.080
<v Speaker 5>I had a lot of people reaching out to me, going, Jane,

0:35:28.080 --> 0:35:30.480
<v Speaker 5>it's only like fifty something degrees and you look like

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm like when you are standing out in the cold

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:37.319
<v Speaker 5>rain from I was there from eleven o'clock until what

0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:41.640
<v Speaker 5>eleven pm that night. Yeah, I'm dressed for the elements, folks,

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:44.600
<v Speaker 5>and I'll be dressed for the elements again this weekend.

0:35:45.040 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 5>But hearing Josh Dobbs right before I went on NFL

0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:50.440
<v Speaker 5>Now was going to start, I often wonder if Ron

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:52.719
<v Speaker 5>Rivera should have just held off on this one and

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 5>released this one a little bit, because I feel like

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:56.360
<v Speaker 5>they were caught off guard. And when I asked them

0:35:56.400 --> 0:35:59.040
<v Speaker 5>of the players about that, they even said they were

0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:00.880
<v Speaker 5>caught off guard for a little then they sort of

0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:02.680
<v Speaker 5>adjusted not to somewhere from what we saw at the

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:05.960
<v Speaker 5>Houston Texans game. So there we have it. We love

0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:09.360
<v Speaker 5>Micah Parsons around here. I don't know if I'm speaking

0:36:09.360 --> 0:36:10.640
<v Speaker 5>for the group, but I think I can speak for

<v Speaker 5>Guys watched the game, he was playing with a clubbed hand.

0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:20.560

0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:37.359
<v Speaker 5>All right, in the break, you guys want to talk

0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:39.360
<v Speaker 5>about it. I have not been the most respectful to

0:38:39.440 --> 0:38:42.600
<v Speaker 5>James Washington. When I talked about James Washington always said

0:38:42.600 --> 0:38:44.240
<v Speaker 5>I didn't want to talk about him because he didn't

0:38:44.239 --> 0:38:46.560
<v Speaker 5>do anything in Pittsburgh and I didn't see him do

0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:49.640
<v Speaker 5>anything here, and sadly he was injured and we didn't

0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:51.959
<v Speaker 5>get to see it. Jess, I know you love talking

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:53.640
<v Speaker 5>about him in the talking to him in the locker

0:38:53.680 --> 0:38:55.040
<v Speaker 5>room and developed a great relationship.

0:38:55.880 --> 0:38:57.760
<v Speaker 6>I'll pour out my water for him thoughts in prayers.

0:38:58.040 --> 0:39:00.000
<v Speaker 5>Mike McCarthy said that he hoped to see him again,

0:39:00.000 --> 0:39:03.840
<v Speaker 5>and I do hope he gets another opportunity. But the

0:39:03.920 --> 0:39:05.360
<v Speaker 5>writing was on the wall when he saw t Y

0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:07.960
<v Speaker 5>and he had an opportunity and unfortunately it didn't come through.

0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:09.839
<v Speaker 5>So I don't need to be disrespectful to him. I

0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:13.480
<v Speaker 5>respect everyone in their jobs. But James Washington no longer here,

0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:20.040
<v Speaker 5>all right, p all right, let's move on. Micah Parsons.

0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:23.520
<v Speaker 5>He was playing with a club to hand in this game.

0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:24.040
<v Speaker 6>He went.

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:28.279
<v Speaker 5>I asked somebody last week, I said, what happened to

0:39:28.320 --> 0:39:28.879
<v Speaker 5>MICA's hand?

0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:30.719
<v Speaker 6>And they said, he cut it? I said, well, what

0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:32.799
<v Speaker 6>do you mean? And no one would explain it.

0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:35.080
<v Speaker 5>To me, And so it's this big, mysterious thing. And

0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 5>then it was funny. Clarence Hill reminded me that Des

0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:40.839
<v Speaker 5>Bryant also similarly had to cut hand a few years ago,

0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:42.680
<v Speaker 5>and when we asked Dez about it, he said he

0:39:42.719 --> 0:39:43.560
<v Speaker 5>was cutting carrots for.

0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:46.759
<v Speaker 6>A soup, which was not the case. It wasn't even

0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:47.359
<v Speaker 6>a big deal.

0:39:47.880 --> 0:39:50.480
<v Speaker 5>What actually happened to it, Clarence and I knew, but

0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:52.719
<v Speaker 5>we never reported, and again not a big deal. But

0:39:52.760 --> 0:39:55.680
<v Speaker 5>because Des never put it out there, we didn't feel

0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:57.320
<v Speaker 5>like it was important to put it out. So Micah

0:39:57.400 --> 0:40:00.879
<v Speaker 5>is having a similar approach to this club. We will

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:02.680
<v Speaker 5>never know what happened to the clubhand, but I think

0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:04.319
<v Speaker 5>what's most important is he played through it.

0:40:04.520 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 3>He will not have a club as well. I think

0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:08.560
<v Speaker 3>that's also equally as important is that I did think

0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:10.959
<v Speaker 3>It was interesting too, though, because I was actually paying

0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:13.160
<v Speaker 3>attentions that during his press conference, and the whole time

0:40:13.160 --> 0:40:14.840
<v Speaker 3>he just kept it tucked away in his little pocket.

0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:17.160
<v Speaker 3>And there was at one point where he lifted the

0:40:17.239 --> 0:40:19.439
<v Speaker 3>opposite hand and I was like, is that the one?

0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Is that the hand? And he kept it you could

0:40:21.719 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 3>tell it in his hoodie pocket like he was moving

0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:25.719
<v Speaker 3>it as he was talking about it. But he was

0:40:25.840 --> 0:40:28.760
<v Speaker 3>very adamant about keeping it in that pocket.

0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:30.880
<v Speaker 6>As Clarence yes to me.

0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:33.800
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, Clarence wasn't an avenger with it, you know,

0:40:34.120 --> 0:40:36.040
<v Speaker 5>as Clarence said, it was probably he was doing some

0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:39.040
<v Speaker 5>clown stuff. So whatever he did he doesn't want to

0:40:39.080 --> 0:40:41.040
<v Speaker 5>talk about, and that's fine. There are some things that

0:40:41.120 --> 0:40:43.279
<v Speaker 5>are meant to stay in the locker room, and so

0:40:43.440 --> 0:40:45.319
<v Speaker 5>if he don't want to talk about it, I'm not

0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:47.799
<v Speaker 5>going to dig too much. And like I said, as

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:50.080
<v Speaker 5>long as he was able to play through it, yep.

0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:51.640
<v Speaker 6>It's kind of like when someone.

0:40:51.480 --> 0:40:53.600
<v Speaker 5>Shows up to work and they're a little hungover. As

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:56.440
<v Speaker 5>long as they do their job. But I can't really tell.

0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:59.880
<v Speaker 6>I don't. I'm like, as long as you play hard, whatever,

0:41:00.520 --> 0:41:01.160
<v Speaker 6>I'll do it.

0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:03.640
<v Speaker 5>Not to say I haven't done that several times in

0:41:03.680 --> 0:41:06.160
<v Speaker 5>my professional career got harder as I got older. Oh

0:41:06.200 --> 0:41:09.239
<v Speaker 5>my goodness, ladies, it's New Year's and as we get

0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:11.560
<v Speaker 5>into that, one of my New Year's resolutions is I'm

0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:12.359
<v Speaker 5>doing what everyone's doing.

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:13.280
<v Speaker 6>I'm on the Keto diet.

0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:16.960
<v Speaker 5>But part of that, to accelerate my Keto neish was

0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:19.240
<v Speaker 5>to give up alcohol for the month, which is honestly

0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:20.239
<v Speaker 5>not that hard for me.

0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:22.080
<v Speaker 6>Just so that was Yes, that's one of my New

0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:25.520
<v Speaker 6>Year's resolutions. But I also thought we'd have.

0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:27.360
<v Speaker 5>A little fun with this when it comes to the

0:41:27.760 --> 0:41:33.160
<v Speaker 5>Dallas Cowboys in the new year moving forward, Here's what

0:41:33.200 --> 0:41:35.919
<v Speaker 5>you will do and what you won't do. So I'll

0:41:35.920 --> 0:41:39.359
<v Speaker 5>go first, ladies, in the new year, I won't doubt

0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:43.360
<v Speaker 5>the rookie class ever again, so many robust playmakers, namely

0:41:43.400 --> 0:41:45.520
<v Speaker 5>Deron Bland, and I honestly didn't expect him to have

0:41:45.520 --> 0:41:49.000
<v Speaker 5>the season he did. Here's what I will continue to do.

0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:51.560
<v Speaker 5>I will continue to pound the table for more. T

0:41:51.760 --> 0:41:53.879
<v Speaker 5>Y Hilton, he's not just a third down guy. He's

0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:54.960
<v Speaker 5>a take it to the house guy.

0:41:55.360 --> 0:41:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Love it.

0:41:55.880 --> 0:41:57.040
<v Speaker 6>He wants to go next with her.

0:41:57.120 --> 0:41:59.080
<v Speaker 9>What I will and won't goal said, Yeah, this is

0:41:59.120 --> 0:41:59.520
<v Speaker 9>so good.

0:41:59.680 --> 0:42:00.719
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I'm gonna.

0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:03.759
<v Speaker 3>Go next what I will do, write what I will

0:42:03.800 --> 0:42:05.319
<v Speaker 3>do or did you do what you want?

0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:07.160
<v Speaker 5>She will do in the new year, and what she

0:42:07.280 --> 0:42:08.960
<v Speaker 5>won't do in the new year as it relates to

0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 5>the Dallas Cowboy.

0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:11.080
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I'm gonna do I won't. First.

0:42:11.120 --> 0:42:13.399
<v Speaker 3>What I won't do in the new year is talk

0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:17.160
<v Speaker 3>any mess about Ceedee Lamb there, because he, like that,

0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:18.920
<v Speaker 3>has had a phenomenal season.

0:42:18.920 --> 0:42:20.359
<v Speaker 6>I think he is peaking at the right time.

0:42:20.440 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 3>That cliche of it's not how you start, how you finish.

0:42:23.640 --> 0:42:25.520
<v Speaker 3>I was comparing some of his numbers to some of

0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:27.560
<v Speaker 3>the best guys in the league right now, guys like

0:42:27.680 --> 0:42:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Justin Jefferson, a J. Brown, and he's right on pace

0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:32.520
<v Speaker 3>with those guys. He's a top ten receiver. So I

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:36.479
<v Speaker 3>will not ever not consider Ceedde Lamb an elite wide

0:42:36.480 --> 0:42:37.200
<v Speaker 3>receiver ever.

0:42:37.280 --> 0:42:39.840
<v Speaker 5>Again, put some respect on his name, FOT and some respect.

0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:41.880
<v Speaker 5>And I need to raise my hand there too, because

0:42:41.920 --> 0:42:43.640
<v Speaker 5>I was quite vocal at the being of the season.

0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:46.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, yeah, he has not embraced this number one

0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:46.919
<v Speaker 5>wide receiver role.

0:42:47.040 --> 0:42:49.319
<v Speaker 3>And things that I will do more of in the

0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:55.040
<v Speaker 3>new year is advocate for a big check for Brett

0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:55.440
<v Speaker 3>ma Hurr.

0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:56.879
<v Speaker 6>He has been lights out.

0:42:57.000 --> 0:42:58.520
<v Speaker 3>I was joking with some of the other day because

0:42:58.600 --> 0:43:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Leonel Messi the player for Argentina and PSD.

0:43:01.600 --> 0:43:04.160
<v Speaker 6>I've always said nyls, so it's a middle lionel. Yeah,

0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:06.360
<v Speaker 6>Leo Lyo. I'm not a soccer girl, so I don't know.

0:43:06.480 --> 0:43:08.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I was reading an article. He has the

0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:12.799
<v Speaker 3>most expensive, uh insured body part I think in all

0:43:12.840 --> 0:43:14.600
<v Speaker 3>of soccer, and I think he's up there in the

0:43:14.600 --> 0:43:18.359
<v Speaker 3>top three in all of sports. His left foot, his

0:43:18.560 --> 0:43:22.560
<v Speaker 3>famous left foot, is insured for nine hundred million dollars.

0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:24.840
<v Speaker 6>So I insured that side.

0:43:25.160 --> 0:43:27.480
<v Speaker 3>So saying Bret.

0:43:27.200 --> 0:43:29.840
<v Speaker 6>Maher and get in town with Leo, get that foot

0:43:30.000 --> 0:43:31.840
<v Speaker 6>insured and keep it coming.

0:43:32.320 --> 0:43:34.440
<v Speaker 3>At Stephen Jones, at Jerry Jones, get this man of

0:43:34.520 --> 0:43:38.120
<v Speaker 3>contract because he is that guy this season that I

0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:39.680
<v Speaker 3>think he will continue to be that guy.

0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:41.840
<v Speaker 8>Well, I'm very sad you took my What I will do.

0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:45.040
<v Speaker 8>What I won't do is I won't ever doubt Maha.

0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:45.279
<v Speaker 10>Again.

0:43:45.360 --> 0:43:48.759
<v Speaker 8>That was very vocal on blogging the boys when all

0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:50.120
<v Speaker 8>this first happened, of.

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:54.120
<v Speaker 5>How everyone was and if somebody says they weren't, they lie.

0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:55.480
<v Speaker 6>They sit on a throne of live.

0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:57.480
<v Speaker 8>They do But what I will do is I'm gonna

0:43:57.560 --> 0:44:00.760
<v Speaker 8>change it to say I won't ever discredit Tyler Smith

0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:03.319
<v Speaker 8>and all of the work he's put in because during

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:05.120
<v Speaker 8>the off season there was a lot of talk about

0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:08.120
<v Speaker 8>Tyler Smith not being able to hack it. And you know,

0:44:08.400 --> 0:44:11.799
<v Speaker 8>I won't ever doubt that he has his money where

0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:14.640
<v Speaker 8>his mouth is. So Tyler Smith, you get my kudos. Now.

0:44:14.719 --> 0:44:18.080
<v Speaker 8>What I won't do, ladies, what I won't.

0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:19.520
<v Speaker 6>Do talk about I can't wait for this.

0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:24.280
<v Speaker 8>That's what I will do, right, And what I will do, Okay,

0:44:24.520 --> 0:44:27.279
<v Speaker 8>what I will do is I will continue to talk

0:44:27.280 --> 0:44:34.400
<v Speaker 8>about penalties, but change. But I am firm on the

0:44:34.640 --> 0:44:37.080
<v Speaker 8>new year. Knew me, that's not a real thing. So

0:44:37.280 --> 0:44:39.880
<v Speaker 8>it is new year, say me. I will continue to

0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:42.040
<v Speaker 8>talk about penalties, and I will be proud of that

0:44:42.080 --> 0:44:44.880
<v Speaker 8>because as soon as we started talking about it, guess

0:44:44.880 --> 0:44:48.720
<v Speaker 8>what happened at Bay started mentally focusing it got better,

0:44:49.280 --> 0:44:51.440
<v Speaker 8>So they played they played.

0:44:51.040 --> 0:44:56.200
<v Speaker 5>This podcast that that is why shut up.

0:44:56.160 --> 0:44:59.320
<v Speaker 8>About the penalties already? Oh my god, and everyone watching

0:44:59.400 --> 0:45:01.920
<v Speaker 8>is like, we're tired of taking shots during the show, like,

0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:03.200
<v Speaker 8>please shut up about it.

0:45:03.200 --> 0:45:04.280
<v Speaker 6>It's self awareness.

0:45:04.719 --> 0:45:08.719
<v Speaker 8>I will I will continue to talk about penalties, but

0:45:08.920 --> 0:45:11.120
<v Speaker 8>I will give credit to where credit is due in

0:45:11.160 --> 0:45:13.799
<v Speaker 8>that they have put that mental focus in gear and

0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:17.440
<v Speaker 8>it is a fixed problem for now.

0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:22.239
<v Speaker 9>Of it we'll see see a right should beat that

0:45:22.680 --> 0:45:26.400
<v Speaker 9>barnacle yob alright. So what I won't do is that

0:45:26.480 --> 0:45:28.680
<v Speaker 9>how I go, Yes, all right. So what I won't

0:45:28.760 --> 0:45:33.040
<v Speaker 9>do is question whether Dak trusts his body. Now he

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:36.200
<v Speaker 9>has ran the ball thirty nine times for one hundred

0:45:36.239 --> 0:45:39.520
<v Speaker 9>and sixty six yards, averaging four point three yards on

0:45:39.680 --> 0:45:40.760
<v Speaker 9>those carries.

0:45:40.840 --> 0:45:42.560
<v Speaker 6>Fifteen it's about fifteen yards a.

0:45:42.600 --> 0:45:44.520
<v Speaker 9>Game, and it just matters.

0:45:44.680 --> 0:45:46.920
<v Speaker 6>It's it's mattered. It's mattered, open up the run game.

0:45:46.960 --> 0:45:49.879
<v Speaker 9>But even last year there were plenty of times where

0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:51.800
<v Speaker 9>you were just like even in the San Fran game.

0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:53.239
<v Speaker 6>Run the ball, run the ball, run the ball.

0:45:53.520 --> 0:45:56.000
<v Speaker 9>But post the calf injury, post the leg injury, we

0:45:56.080 --> 0:45:57.520
<v Speaker 9>knew this was going to be like a slow burn

0:45:57.600 --> 0:45:59.880
<v Speaker 9>for him. So what I won't do is not trust

0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 9>fact that he is going to run the ball when

0:46:01.719 --> 0:46:04.160
<v Speaker 9>it's necessary. And that's a huge part of what's made

0:46:04.200 --> 0:46:06.680
<v Speaker 9>him him in this offense good. And what I will do,

0:46:07.480 --> 0:46:10.360
<v Speaker 9>Lord dan Quinn, I'm trusting you here. I'm whing to

0:46:10.520 --> 0:46:12.160
<v Speaker 9>trust dan Quinn.

0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:18.040
<v Speaker 6>I don't like how we figure serious matter.

0:46:18.239 --> 0:46:21.840
<v Speaker 9>It's a serious matter. I'm going to trust him with

0:46:22.040 --> 0:46:25.560
<v Speaker 9>this young defense on the back end and these horses

0:46:25.680 --> 0:46:28.640
<v Speaker 9>on the front end to get this defense back to

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:32.440
<v Speaker 9>the level that it was, or at least close to

0:46:32.520 --> 0:46:33.800
<v Speaker 9>the level that I was playing on.

0:46:34.440 --> 0:46:36.440
<v Speaker 6>What am I doing nor?

0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:39.040
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, to get this level, get this defense back at

0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:42.040
<v Speaker 9>the level is playing on at the midpoint of the season.

0:46:42.719 --> 0:46:43.120
<v Speaker 8>I like it.

0:46:43.200 --> 0:46:44.960
<v Speaker 9>I got some guys coming back, hopefully.

0:46:44.680 --> 0:46:47.000
<v Speaker 6>To restore some mortar. You were worried that you were good.

0:46:47.239 --> 0:46:48.200
<v Speaker 8>I know that's great.

0:46:48.360 --> 0:46:51.200
<v Speaker 6>Well, the that one was a little I didn't think

0:46:51.280 --> 0:46:52.040
<v Speaker 6>y'all was gonna agree.

0:46:52.120 --> 0:46:54.880
<v Speaker 5>Y'all was like, I should know he's trusting his butterline

0:46:54.880 --> 0:46:56.320
<v Speaker 5>man when you see when he's out there running and

0:46:56.440 --> 0:46:59.000
<v Speaker 5>using his legs more in recent weeks.

0:46:59.080 --> 0:47:01.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I get you. I don't think it's even a

0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:01.640
<v Speaker 6>thought in his head.

0:47:01.719 --> 0:47:04.120
<v Speaker 3>You just came back to that twenty five yard QB

0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:07.320
<v Speaker 3>sneak against whoever it was at home, and everyone's.

0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:09.880
<v Speaker 9>Like, and you talk about on their downs, like the

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:12.040
<v Speaker 9>Cowboys being so good at their downs. A lot of

0:47:12.080 --> 0:47:13.600
<v Speaker 9>it is him being able to pass the ball, but

0:47:13.640 --> 0:47:16.800
<v Speaker 9>when they get into short yardage situations, having that option

0:47:17.160 --> 0:47:19.480
<v Speaker 9>is helping out this this offense A lot's gonna have

0:47:19.480 --> 0:47:20.360
<v Speaker 9>about this run gay.

0:47:20.600 --> 0:47:22.640
<v Speaker 5>All right, Well, what I will do is continue being

0:47:22.680 --> 0:47:24.880
<v Speaker 5>a part of this girl's talk, boys talk. It has

0:47:24.960 --> 0:47:27.600

<v Speaker 5>have a lot more fun in twenty twenty three. And

0:47:30.400 --> 0:47:31.759
