Speaker 3That's not sorry, sounds like you were about to.
I was gonna try it, but it doesn't feel right.
Y'all?
Speaker 6Do it?
Speaker 4Y'all good though?
Ready for some Cowboys commanders.
Speaker 6It's our only home game of October.
Speaker 4Huhh yeah, this is a third home game of the season, right.
Speaker 7My lord?
Speaker 6Yep?
Speaker 7Verse three twenty five, kick off at the house.
Speaker 4Man.
Hopefully the sun doesn't barnacles.
Speaker 7Did you see?
Yeah?
Pray sayings did you see Tom Brady talking about it.
I did, Yeah, I did.
Speaker 4It was I don't think about it.
Speaker 3All right, Well Cowboys commanders, like we've talked about all throughout the week, but we've got some injury updates.
Speaker 4But I want to go through that injury report.
Speaker 2Are you shure?
Speaker 7But you yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, So leave me alone, all right?
So Thursday practice are important, per you know, Christy Lennon, Let's know that that's an important day and practice Land.
Uh, I can't hear myself that well.
Uh so you have Trevor Keegan.
He did not practice yesterday with the neck injury.
Tyler Booker was limited yesterday.
Johnny Cornelius was limited yesterday.
Marshawn Kneeland with the ankle was limited yesterday.
CD Land was limited with the ankle.
Jonathan Mingo was limited with the knee injury.
Tyler Smith was limited with the knee injury as well.
Jay Thomas his head was hurting, he had a migraine.
He was limited.
Cavante Turpin was limited with the foot.
Donovan Wilson was limited with the elbow slash knee.
We saw as he has his brace on now looking like terminator Kayln Carson was limited, was full with the knee, Trayvon Diggs was full with the knee, James Houston was full with the knee injury.
Speaker 3And.
Speaker 7Jack Sanborn concussion, who had a concussion, was a full go and practice yesterday.
So from what I understand, it sounds like most of these guys should be souping up on Monday.
Yeah, Sunday, third Sunday.
Yes, you got it, you got it.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8Yeah.
Speaker 7When you look at the Washington practice report that oh, dictator ties, I'm skipping like this.
Speaker 4Okay, we're gonna get to that in a second.
Now, you know it's fine.
Speaker 7I'll let you go nice.
Speaker 4No, No, it's fine, Okay.
Speaker 7Yeah.
Doren Armstrong did not practice for a second day with that hamstring injury.
I'm not sure if he's gonna be able to go.
From just the reports that I've seen, a big one that stood out was Terry McLaurin, still dealing with that quad.
He did not practice yesterday.
I don't know if some of this is gamesmanship, but we'll see.
Deebo Samuel with the heel injury, did not practice for the second day in a row.
Chris Rodriguez, they're running back he gets the carries behind Crosskey.
He did not practice.
No, yeah, he did not practice yesterday.
Sam coused me their guard.
He was a full go in practice, which is important.
We talked about him.
Breeze talked about the rotation that's been happening at the right guard spot and that that's caused them some issues.
Jayde and Daniels with the knee was full.
Zach ertz Uh just got some rest the day before, but he was full go yesterday.
Jonathan Jones cornerback was full with the hamstring, and Drake Johnson Jackson rather he was placed on ir which is a big deal for them because he just was newly acquired for them.
So he he he, he's not playing.
Speaker 4Yeah, I want to take a look at that injury report, ladies.
Speaker 3I mean, it does seem like Ceedee Lamb is expected to be a go on Sunday.
Speaker 4But aside from Ceede Lamb, because I do want to make sure we give him a little bit more touch and we kind of have already touched on it yesterday.
Speaker 3But aside from Ceedee Lamb, who on this list most excited about getting back because it's Cowboys team needs them.
Speaker 6Booker talk about it Booker and yeah, and the reason why Thursday so important is in terms of the practice week is you get these guys that get that out there on a Wednesday.
Wednesday and Thursday are the heaviest days of practice.
So if you if you're coming back from injury or you're nursing something, and you get through Wednesday and can still do the same thing on Thursday, that's good because sometimes you have a little bit of a setback or it feels sore and you do less on Thursday.
So when you got guys like Tyler Booker and c.
D.
Lamb and Cavante Turpin that can can do as much or even more on Thursday, that's really good.
As compared to what you were saying, like with Terry McLaurin with Washington that he was limited on Wednesday and then didn't practice on Thursday.
So just the opposite there.
I think them possibly missing Dorrance Armstrong, as you said, you know, not only is he leading their team in tackles excuse me sacks with five and a half, he's one of the leaders in the league and tackles for loss.
I mean he has been really good in that scheme and having a career year for Dorrance, but you know, I wonder about Tyler Smith, you know, still says limited.
Hopefully he'll you know, be able and be good to go.
But the main thing is CD being able to do as much or more on Thursday than he did Wednesday.
Speaker 4That's huge.
Speaker 5Yeah, I agree with you too, Christy, especially when you're talking about a team who got away from their run game.
I think Booker is going to play a big part in what Schottenheimer is going to do.
Yes, we're so excited that Ceedee Lamb's gonna be on the field, and we've been talking about what it looks like when him and Pickens is back in there right on all these different routes, and how Pickens himself is feeling more comfortable.
Like I used to just mentioned, he's being utilized a lot different, even Dak said yesterday, like you don't want to see anyone get hurt, but Ceedee being out showed us what else Pickens can do.
So now it's that much more exciting when he gets in there and seeing all these guys Limited.
Like Schottenheimer had said, he not that he doesn't care about Wednesday, but the big deal is Thursday, because now I want to see how they feel after they kind of ramped up a little bit on Wednesday.
So looking at the commanders and seeing that Terry McLaurin is someone who we thought were, you know, the two star receivers were going to be in this game.
He's trending to not play at least what it looks like on the practice report, because again to be limited and then to drop off.
It kind of reminds me what Schottenheimer told us, you know, it matters what the next day looks like, because it's they did that to Deebo.
Speaker 7They kind of rushed him in there.
We talked about that with James.
Speaker 5They put him in there knowing he wasn't gonna be one hundred percent, and then in the broadcast you kind of saw him getting retaped up in between and was struggling.
Speaker 7Didn't get a lot of targets.
Speaker 5So I'd be surprised if Debo's in there to specially two days.
Speaker 7So that's huge.
That's their offense.
Speaker 5We've talked about how they don't have that guy right now, and they're leaning on some other people there in that receiving room.
So I think for the key in this one is going to be having just to stop the run because to know that they can do that one hundred percent.
So now I'm excited Booker if I hadn't obviously see these the limelight here and he said he would have been ready to go last week if they would have let him.
So I fully expect to see him out there, and I think that changes the game one hundred and ten percent.
Excited to see what Shttenheimer is going to do when he gets in his play calling bag.
Speaker 7She got Yeah, you ladies mentioned Booker.
I think this is He's very important.
Obviously with this commander's interior defensive front, they are very strong up front.
Dallas was not able to establish, like you know, a lot of power at the line of scrimmage last week.
That's something that I'm hoping that they can re establish in this game.
But since you ladies already mentioned Booker, I'm going to mention Cavante Turpin.
One thing that we saw last week, last week we saw Monday versus the Bears, is that they really did a lot again I mentioned yesterday, attacking the perimeter of this Washington defensive line, really going at their edges.
I would like to see some of that speed, some of those end rounds.
Maybe some reverses with Cavante Turpin or Blue whatever, but I think Cavante Turpin's speed up against this Washington defense could be very helpful in this game.
Speaker 3What would you say this, ladies, because we broke it all down this entire week, you know, talking about their run game and how successful they are there in terms of stopping the run, how good they are there as well.
Speaker 7What do you feel like the X.
Speaker 3Factor in terms of how the Cowboys need to play them offensively will allow them to succeed?
Speaker 7What you gay, if they can block thing they have to do, block it up.
I mean, honestly, Dallas is gonna run the ball.
They're gonna run the ball.
We saw that even last week.
Is that they continue to try to get yardage on the ground.
I think Dallas is you know, Shottenheimer and those guys are gonna look at what Chicago did against this defense and see if they can do some of those things.
However, if that's not working, I do think that the quarterback, if he's given enough time, can mean they can manufacture yardage in the passing game against this Washington secondary that has struggled only two takeaways this year.
I know that Joe Whitten.
Those guys are human.
They want that number up a little bit more.
But Dallas, if they can, if this offensive line can block it up, I do think they're gonna be able to tack downfield.
So that's the biggest thing for me.
What you ladies got.
Speaker 6I agree totally.
They're giving up a lot of explosive plays.
Man Washington is what six plays of fifteen yards plus that was just against.
Speaker 2So yeah, and.
Speaker 6When you mentioned the run, I know we've talked about it in some of the previous weeks where you still have to stay true to it to make them respect it, right, And and once you can establish that, it really sets up the play action and and gives just that little extra tick, just that little extra space for those explosive plays downfield.
So yeah, I really feel like this game is going to be a shootout.
You know that, But shootout shootout please.
But that doesn't mean that you that you never run the ball.
Oh, it means it means that your run is helping set up the pass.
Speaker 7Right.
Speaker 5Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent.
I agree with you on that.
Speaker 7Christy.
Speaker 4Uh.
Speaker 5My biggest thing is not just schematically, it's it's that first drive for the Cowboys.
Speaker 7It's been nasty and to be.
Speaker 5Able to to come out get fired up, you have the number one offense and you can't score, it's I think it sets them back.
And I think in this type of game, when you know the Commanders are coming in fired up, like we heard from James yesterday, they feel like they should have four wins, like one hundred and ten percent.
Most people thought they were gonna leave last week being four win team coming into this game, and we've talked about it in the locker room and yep, we just got to win.
It's a little bit more juice.
We don't like to use the must win, but this is a divisional game.
They're ready lost to Philly.
The Giants are scrapping up there and that's going to be a dog fight coming up.
And the Commanders, this is your first time facing him.
You don't want to sit here and just get in the habit of losing these divisional games who are important, especially at home.
We saw the trend what that can be like last year for a team that was went on this winning streak at home and then they can't.
But I think it's just honestly, how they set the tone and we heard about starting out fast, but we just haven't seen that from this cowboy Sea who's supposed to have this elite offense.
The one thing it's supposed to set it up keep your defense off the field.
Speaker 6Yeah, well, they're sitting the same thing in Washington about slow starts.
That's going to be a huge Oh yes, it's for them this week because they've fallen behind by double dip JITs and for their six games, and it's because of these slow starts.
So yeah, point of emphasis for both teams for sure.
Speaker 7Not scaring us out the gates.
No, I agree the Dallas offense.
I would have to look at the numbers, but I think the second quarter they're one of the highest scoring teams in the second quarter this year.
Love it fantastic.
Speaker 6Well, nowhere to go but up?
Speaker 7Can we do it in the first though?
And I agree with you, especially with this defense that has been struggling and things like that, you need to be able to punch seven in when you can, like you have to take advantage of those opportunities.
So I'm very curious to see what Dallas does with the coin do us this year and to this.
Speaker 3Game, y'all know what would be crazy.
Well, but I think it just would be insane if both teams defenses are just playing lights out right and.
Speaker 7I'm gonna be saying there's so many in the air, don't put that far off.
Speaker 6The Cowboys defense gets back to back three and ounce if I have a party about saying I'm a fight, Yeah, to catch me dog.
Speaker 7That's why he's both Dan.
Speaker 4What you got, ladies?
What's the bigger test?
Speaker 3Is it this Cowboy We obviously got to get the run game going, held to their season low thirty one rushing yards as a team last week.
Speaker 4But what's the bigger test?
Speaker 3Is it bouncing back offensively in terms of this run game or is it this Cowboys defense containing Jade.
Speaker 6And Daniels defense?
Obviously?
Speaker 7Yeah, I'm like, yeah, your question?
Speaker 2Is it?
Speaker 7It is?
Speaker 5Because I don't want the expectations for the defense.
It is so low that I'm not even going into this.
And to be honest, I don't know if you guys were listening.
I know Christy was in there when Matt Evelus was talking, but I wasn't.
Very That leaves it very optimistic from what I was hearing and to the few guys that I got to talk to one on one in the locker room.
They don't have the answers like they are literally trying to figure it out.
And the thing that stood out that got a lot of heat on social media, which I was just putting bullet points on what I heard, but he literally said they're still working through what their defensive identity is.
And I don't think he necessarily needed to say it because we can see it.
But to hear that and then to talk to players who are also saying that, you know, we take a step forward, we take a step back.
We haven't hit the peak.
I can't want Thomas I talk to you.
I can't tell the future, but you know, we've taken some steps here and we just don't know.
But we're trying new things.
And it's just kind of scary stuff to hear well into week seven.
Speaker 6But what's he supposed to say?
Speaker 7Though, that's what I'm That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5Nobody, there's no right, there's I have no.
Speaker 6The solutions are in the room.
There's not a magic pill.
Speaker 4Where is that from that.
Speaker 6Day from yesterday?
There's not a magic pill.
So can you make a trade before the deadline and bring a player to in yeah, but then you've got to work work them in.
Any changes have to be made within the package already, make some tweaks, and you can't overhaul things in a week.
Okay, right that do you have an identity?
We do up front, but we're still building, still building it.
And you know, the main the main thing that I took, what I put my little stars in parentheses around is keep the plan tight and effective so that guys can execute.
So that's the main thing.
He knows what he's got.
He's trying to account for certain things.
And I think we're going to see a more mixture of the calls this week.
Speaker 9You know.
Speaker 6Doesn't doesn't mean we're going to play a lot more man necessarily, but I think that though, you know, whatever they do, they're they're going to have to mix it in, right.
And the thing is Cliff Kingsbury, Washington.
The Commanders offense is wide open, right, But they also run a lot of tempo very fast, you know, Yeah, and so that makes it hard for these substitutions.
I mean, the way that this defensive line is rotating, I mean it's almost like hockey where you get these line changes where they come out and it's hard to when they break in the huddle or you know they're doing the muddle, or they're getting up to the line of scrimmage and not giving you allowing substitutions, or if they do, you got to hustle so fast.
It makes it just hard for not only guys to get set, but just to get things communicating.
Speaker 3And that's what I was talking to Sam Williams about.
He had said that they've been trying to work on like learning each other's hand signals and things like that to kind of get in in tune with each other.
Speaker 4But I don't know how long that was going to take to kind of get a sink.
Speaker 7It's just like it's a copycat lead.
I think it would be irresponsible to not do some of the things that Chicago did last week.
I think that you are capable of doing some some stunts on the edge attacking that right side.
I do think that you could bring some timely blitzes.
I understand that's asking for a lot with a coach that is not accustomed to blitzing that much, but yeah, Dallas has to find a way to get this quarterback off of his spot, and not only just get him off a spot, because That's the thing that I'm probably most worried about with this quarterback is the scramble ability.
But to answer your question, Nicole, you ask, are we more like what are we looking for with the running game or you know, the defense?
And for me, I'm more confident in the running game getting back to normal because they've shown that they can be consistent there.
The defense has shown you they are consistently not playing well, to be honest, so I don't have that same confident there.
No, I don't have that confidence there.

Speaker 4Excuse me sorry, Welcome to a Girl's hog Boys talk about a party.
My bed, No, I wasn't gone.
It was a burp bad.
Speaker 7Oh that's better.
Speaker 4Well, I feel so welcome to a.
Speaker 3Girl's Dog boystoc presented by in visit line Nicole Hutcheson, Breonna Aldridge, Christy Scales, Aisha Morrison and we got with Us.
We're back with y'all know we're back with We got That's bo.
That actually sounded like you've been practicing a little bit.
Speaker 7Yeah, it sounds like it really sounds like Folk Holgan to me or something.
You know who that is?
Never mind you no more.
Speaker 3Yesterday, My bad.
We're not gonna do that, all right?
Bullseye or bus are you already ready?
Dallas will eclipse three hundred seventy five total yards of offense on Sunday.
Speaker 6I'm gonna go bullseye.
I'm sticking with.
I am sticking with.
I think this is going to be a shootout.
Speaker 7Yeah, man, I'm gonna go Bullseye.
I really think Dallas is going to pass this rock around and have a lot of space and opportunity to do so.
Speaker 5Okay, third bullseye for me as well.
I feel like it's going to be a very very high scoring game.
Speaker 7I don't say that very very interesting.
What I said very very is crazy they can go to overtime.
Speaker 5Please stop, because I got things to do.
Speaker 7We're not gonna do that.
Speaker 6And just for reference, they're averaging three hundred and eighty seven yards on offense each week.
So if they if they just reach what they've done through the first six weeks, will be a bullseye.
Speaker 4All right, already for number two?
Speaker 2Yeah, yep, or bust.
Speaker 4I didn't like that one.
It's sorry, I'll try you later.
Speaker 3The Cowboys will have over one hundred.
Speaker 4And fifty rushing yards as a team on Sunday.
Speaker 7I'm gonna go bust.
Okay, I'm only going bust because outside of the Chicago game, they have been holding you know, running backs to like three point two yards of garry.
I do think Dallas will see some success because of what Christy was talking about earlier the past, kind of opening up the run and stuff.
But I'm gonna go bust.
I don't know they're gonna be a run about like that, or they don't have to for that matter.
Speaker 5Bus as well, what you got definitely gonna be higher than thirty one yards than last week.
I know that hit home and I think they can really attack the edges in this run game.
If they can get out of running inside like what they typically like to do.
I think they could have a successful land the ground, but I don't think it's gonna be that high, especially when you have all these options on the outside that you can throw two coming back.
Speaker 6Yeah, I think they'll tickle it, but it'll be best.
Speaker 4I'm tied, busted.
Speaker 6Sure, I never heard that tickle get close, tickle it still tickle it.
But no, buddy, I think I think it'll be through the year.
Speaker 4Yes, got you all right?
You're ready for number three.
Speaker 2Bull's eye or bus.
Speaker 4Dak will throw no interceptions.
Speaker 6Actually that may gosh, that's whatever you say that that jinx is it?
So if it's opening series and something happened, don't say that's on the call.
Speaker 2No, that's on the call.
Speaker 5Gonna say it on crazy on radio, but I'm.
Speaker 7Gonna post it on my Twitter.
Speaker 4I'm just here to throw out bold statements.
I don't know, I so I want to.
Speaker 6Here's the thing they only had Washington only has two interceptions and the whole year, right, so they only have three takeaways for the whole year.
So you can say Dak's not going to throw an interception, or you can look at it the other way and say the commanders are due.
So but I'll try and stay positive and say what is it.
I'm gonna say it doesn't through bullseye.
That's a bulls eye way.
Speaker 4He doesn't.
Speaker 6I'm gonna yeah, So that's bust.
Speaker 7Okay, you're confusing that.
Speaker 4Sorry.
Speaker 7I'm going to the positive route as well, because I.
Speaker 5Think Dak can take care of the football.
Speaker 6Take no, oh, I don't know.
Speaker 5I feel like if the if the ball is turned over, I think it's going to be more of a punch out type of thing.
I don't think it's gonna be Dak making a bad decision not seeing the field.
Speaker 7So Nicole confused me on the bulls eye.
Speaker 3And because I said he will throw no interceptions, then that's bulls.
Speaker 7I'm sorry, job, I'm I'm sorry, y'all.
I'm gonna say that it's a.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 7Yeah, I'm gonna say it's a bus.
I do think that Washington's uh Dak has been nails against the Blitz.
I think that, you know, he's been really great.
But they are able to get pressure, y'all.
They are able to get pressure.
They are able to affect the quarterback.
It's gonna put a lot of stress on your offensive line, and you're running backs to be in the right place, so and you'll tie in.
So I'm gonna say, maybe there's a tipped one.
Speaker 6No, that's that's fine, that's the double reverse hex jinks.
Speaker 7Yeah, I was just trying to help.
Yeah, okay, that's fair.
I had to cancel it.
That cool, Uh huh, all right.
Speaker 2Bullseye or bust.
Speaker 3George Pickens will account for over thirty five percent of Dak's passing yards on Sunday.
Speaker 6They're gonna go bust on that, just because I think they're gonna spread it around so much.
And I don't just mean CD gonna take so much of that.
He'll he'll get his chunk.
But I think there's just different ways they're gonna attack the commanders, and George will get his his part.
But I don't know if it'll be over a third.
Speaker 7You said passing yards, I'm gonna go a bullseye.
I think they're gonna attack down this field.
We already talked about washing into giving up explosive plays also too.
Even though Ceedey Lamb is coming back, I do think that it is going to be, you know, kind of reintegrating him back into his office.
I'm sure he's gonna fit like a glove, but we don't know, like if the coaches are gonna be, you know, taking care of him in that sense and making sure they're careful with how if he's a full go, he's a full go.
I don't know, but yeah, I think that there's space and opportunity downfield.
I expect some big plays in the passing game, so I think his numbers might be up because of that.
Yeah, I'm gonna go bullseye as well.
Speaker 5I think we have seen everybody step up and when you're talking about a firk, when you're talking about a fanoid.
But I think we'll see those not that they're gonna go quiet, but they'll go down just a bit.
And I think CD, as much as he wants every single ball, I think they're not going to force it because they do have Pickens, and I think it's gonna be a big day for both of them.
But I do feel like Pickens is gonna kind of lead the way on this one.
Speaker 4Yeah you're trying to say bus.
Speaker 3Okay, bullseye or yeah, all right, Dallas will convert more than a third downs on Sunday.
My bad Dallas will convert more than fifty percent of their third downs on Sunday.
Speaker 7M hmm, well, sound.
Speaker 6Good, but bust.
I think it's gonna be close.
But no, I don't know about that.
Hey, stay ahead of the stick, do like Carolina last week and be so effective that you don't even have to get to third downs too often.
Speaker 7So he'll be awesome.
Speaker 6But I mean the Cowboys are doing well, averaging over forty percent, but fifty is a lot.
Speaker 5Yeah, I'm gonna go bust too high expectations.
Thing's gonna be a great game, but let's see it before we believe.
Speaker 7It kind of thing.
So do fourth downs count?
Okay, it's the sweet whisper.
I'm gonna go answer.
I'm gonna go bust.
But I do think there's gonna be some fourth down plays.
I do think there's gonna be some decisions they gotta be made in this game.
Speaker 5I hope they go for a lot of these forth down I just want to put that you don't need the punt at this they don't go wow, I wouldn't be punt.
Speaker 7I wouldn't be punting a whole bunch of If it's a tight.
Speaker 8Game, go for it.
Speaker 6So you'd pass some points, you'd pass some points with.
Speaker 7Aubrey, depending on just obviously situationally, depending on, but situationally, I do think if the defense is not, you know, seeing success in this game in the office, Dallas needs to win just as bad as Washington.
I do think there's some the urgency in that maybe later in this game will play into some of the maybe some two point conversions, maybe some you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5So, like you're saying, I think how the tempo goes of this game, I think you got to you got to keep it up.
Speaker 7You yeah, to be more aggressive.
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 6Hey that last year it was so wheels off on special teams, and I know we can talk about that later, but I think special teams is going to be.
Speaker 7Huge, and it was.
Speaker 4Right there already.
Speaker 3Yeah yeah, yeah, Bullseye or Bush, the Cowboys will average over five yards per play or better.
Speaker 6So yeah, over five yards Bullseye.
Speaker 5Yeah, I'll Bullseye, I'll play, I show you play.
Speaker 3I was dry.
Speaker 7I was trying to make sure that I yeah, yeah, I mean if even if we're going by Washington's standards in the secondary, they're giving up seven yards of play, So yes, I'm gonna go leg bullseye.
Speaker 4All right, this is gonna be a good one.
Speaker 2I'm ready for this, bullseye or bust.
Speaker 3The Cowboys offense will score a touchdown on its first two drives.
Speaker 7Wow, after I just attacked their.
Speaker 2First ability.
Speaker 6Your lips to God's ears.
I know you had a lot of clean living lately.
Is he gonna listen to you?
Speaker 5They're gonna I've been praying he's gonna touch down to just score.
Speaker 6She said touchdown, touchdown.
Speaker 4I didn't say that.
Yeah, I had to look back.
Speaker 3Sorry, I'm gonna go bus because I gotta be negative.
I don't like that she got this beard on her.
I don't like.
Speaker 6Hey, look, confidence comes from demonstrated ability, and I don't have.
I haven't seen it yet.
Yeah, so far through the first six games.
So that's fair, the confidence one of them.
Yeah, I mean we score on both, but maybe not touchdowns on both.
Speaker 7That's a positive start.
Speaker 6Yes, I agree with Bret on that, But I'll go bust.
Speaker 7When ain't seen them score on two drives.
Speaker 6Touchdown the first two drives?
Speaker 4All right?
Speaker 7Uh yeah, uh yeah, I'm gonna go bust.
I do think this Washington defense is gonna come out and maybe get a stop to depend depending on.
Speaker 4Yeah mmmmmmmm already for this one?
Speaker 2Yes, let go Bull's eye or bust.
Speaker 3The Cowboys will win the time of possession battle by four minutes.
Speaker 7Wow.
Speaker 6See that's hard.
We keep saying we're gonna we're expecting big plays and not.
I think this is gonna be a game of big plays and not necessarily long sustained time eating drives.
So I'm not sure about that.
So can you say it one more time?
Speaker 4Sorry?
Speaker 3The Cowboys will win the time of possession battle by four minutes.
Speaker 6I'll go bust.
I'm not sure that I think it's gonna be quick strike games.
Speaker 7Yeah, I'm gonna go bust as well.
Speaker 4I'm a thirty thirty all right, is crazy.
Speaker 6And Washington made their strength is their run game, and especially if you don't have like McLaurin or Samuel, they're gonna have to rely on that run game more, whereas I think the Cowboys think maybe better with the passing and anyway, usually more run plays means more time of possession, so I'll give that edge to Washington.
Speaker 4Cool, all right, you're ready for this one?
Speaker 2Yeah, bull eye or bussed.
Jayden Daniels will be sacked.
Speaker 4I'm gonna go three times.
Speaker 7Oh, let it be.
So I had to kick back on it because.
Speaker 6Wow, let's see, do we believe?
Speaker 4I don't know.
Do y'all be believed?
Eleven?
I'm going busk.
Speaker 9Yeah.
Speaker 7I was kind of sit here until I changed my mind.
But I'm looking at film in my brain and I don't see it.
Speaker 6I think he just has enough escapability that, you know, maybe you get to him, but still maybe like a two yard game where he you know.
Speaker 7He's slippery.
Speaker 6Yeah, yeah, and what they.
Speaker 7Sorry, he's gonna look like a track star.
Okay, why are you this way?
Speaker 4I'm sorry, I don't like it.
Speaker 6They have allowed forward sacks.
Washington has forty six games, but a couple of those games from Mariota.
I mean, he's he's a fast too.
Speaker 7He can get out.
Speaker 6But y'all going bus I'm gonna go bust.
Speaker 7I'm going bus.
I do think that Dallas will have some tackles for loss stuff like that, but m what, y'all, I'm stressed out a little bit.
Speaker 4Okay, do you want to try?
Speaker 7Yes, breathe do it?
Speaker 6Do it?
Do it?
Do it?
Speaker 8You can do it?
Speaker 5Fine?
Speaker 2I hate y'all right, bullseye or bus.
Speaker 7That's the last one I'm doing.
Speaker 3Dallas will allow under four yards per carry to Washington's running backs.
Speaker 7No waist head again, I had a slow moment, my bat.
Speaker 4Sorry.
Speaker 3Dallas will allow under four yards per carry to Washington's running backs.
Speaker 7Why would you ask that?
Speaker 4It was just bold?
Speaker 7It's gonna be a noe for me.
Dougay, Chris Rodriguez and crosskey Jeremy Nichols cant the rock a little bit too hangry and obviously the quart elite.
Speaker 6Yeah, that's it's gonna skew.
Jaden Daniels can skew that total.
I mean, you get that average rush.
Speaker 7Only can I add something really quickly?
One thing that Washington does do and it hurt them last week they like to run the ball out of shotgun.
I remember those days.
Uh, they like to run the ball out of shotgun a lot and pistol running out of pistol in the rain.
Last week, I thought it was a choice, had to fumble and doing that obviously gonna be inside this game.
But I do think that Dallas they do some they do some motions and all those different things.
I do think that them doing that as much as they do and not coming from under center will help the Dallas defense.
It should help the Dallas defense not to get well to be able to read those keys.
It kind of tells you on film when they are gonna run the ball.
Since they do so much from out of pistol in shotgun, it's really weird.
I would think that Cliff would change it up.
Maybe they do ang it up and do some more under center because they've seen you struggle with it.
But that might be a break the Cowboys catch and maybe they'll be able to be a little bit better on the ground.
I don't know.
Speaker 2Okay, ready for this one, Yeah, be ready, bulls eye or bus.
Speaker 3Dallas will hold the Commanders to under three hundred total yards.
Speaker 5I'm sorry, sorry, I'm going bus under three hundred with this defense.
Speaker 4I was waiting for you to say something.
I'm sorry, I got a bus.
Speaker 9Uh.
Speaker 5I have faith that they can get some stops possibly, but I don't think it's gonna be under three hundred.
Speaker 7Yeah.
Here, it's gonna be bus for me.
They're averaging at about three hundred and forty five yards a game already, so it's gonna be a note for me.
Speaker 6Now.
Speaker 7Granted, like we said, they got some pretty key injuries that we're still keeping an eye out on and things like that, but it hasn't the matter who's on the other hand, say yeah, it's like myself.
Speaker 6Yeah, now I'm going to go bust as well, just because I'm gonna stick with my theory of it be high scoring and a shootout, and you know, they're just going to have to go for you know, hopefully the Cowboys get a lead and and Washington's having to play catch up and throw the ball a lot.
But I mean, yeah, they may be without McLaurin and Deebo, but you got a guy Luke McCaffrey.
He has the same amount of touchdowns on thirty yard plus plays as George Pickens.
Speaker 7So well, probably not not for us this week.
He's fun to watch.
Speaker 6The other thing, you know, and again, special teams, they're so good.
They got good starting field position.
I mean, they're kind of like the Cowboys where they're just a couple of you know, one and a half first downs away from being in a field goal position.
You know, I just yeah, I just see him moving the ball.
Speaker 4I do all right.
Speaker 3Well, or bus Dallas's defense will score, whether an interception for a touchdown or for more recovery for a touchdown.
Speaker 6Wow, now here's a chance to be bold, ladies, here's a chance to be bold.
Okay, I'll go for it.
Okay, I'll save a side, I'll save bull si Yeah, chrisy, Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 7But I want to hear I'm gonna I'm gonna follow suit on that.
I think Donovan is a rok who gets that sack this week and gets a strip sack.
I think he's it's gonna be rook on rook with that right tackle.
Donovan is getting really close.
We saw him in last game looking at the film, just his pressure numbers going up.
I think he has sixteen on the sec second on the season.
He is second with rookie edge defenders.
I think it's coming for him.
Push that ball out.
Speaker 6Who's gonna scoop it and score barnacles?
It gotta be a big human huh Marist.
Maybe May.
Speaker 7If it's gonna or or safety if they're coming to help out in the run.
Speaker 6Maybe it's Jonavan, Maybe Jonavan, Donovan and Donovan.
Speaker 7Or one of those guys like yeah, I hope it's a smaller boat so they can get after it.
But I know, we like to see the big guys run run for tuddies.
Speaker 5I like that you brought up Donavanezraka because he's so due for a sack, and they were asking him how it feels to be this closed, and then I asked him if he had a celebration ready, and he's like, he said, his little longhorns.
It's definitely his celebration.
So he said, be weary on that.
So I hope to see that.
I don't know if it's gonna turn into a score yolse, So I'm gonna go bus.
I think they can get a takeaway like we saw last week and strike up there.
But I just take it to the house all the way.
I'm gonna say, I get it final one.
Speaker 7Make it a build one girl.
Speaker 4Oh, I don't know if this one look at one, but it's gonna be the final one.
Speaker 1Guy.
Speaker 2Dang it all right, Bullseye or Bus, there we go.
Speaker 4It's dramatic.
Speaker 3Washington will covert fewer than thirty five percent of their third downs.
Speaker 7You were your question to our side, I'm cheaty or more?
Gee?
Speaker 6Gee, they're really bad.
No Washington, Dallas, Yes, okay, both.
I wish we just they're right it literally, through their first six six games, Washington's offense is at thirty three percent, so they're twenty the bottom of the league.
Speaker 7There's twenty ninth and Dallas' defense is thirty seconds.
So some gotta give, ugly versus ugly, some gotta give.
I'm gonna go.
You said thirty five or less, I'm gonna go.
Bust I don't got it in me.
Speaker 6Yeah, bust I can't take our spirit.
Speaker 7But please, that's how we're ending it.
It would be awesome if they can figure out how to get them off the field.
But this Dallas defense has just not been good on third down, third and longs to make you want to fight.
Speaker 4We should have ended on the first the previous note.
Speaker 7That's okay, it's a hey, we're being honest.
Yep, welcome back to this positivit.

Speaker 3Welcome Back to Girls Talgboys Talk, presented by invisent Line, Nicole Hutcheson, Breonna Aldridge, Christie Scales, Aisham Morrison, The Ladies Running.
I don't know, I'm gonna come up with something.
Don't worry about it.
It's coming all right.
We got fun, we got fun Fat Friday.
Speaker 7Yeah.
Speaker 6So sometimes you just have to take a moment in a game.
We get all wrapped up in it and what's gonna happen, and we're boy centric on everything, but sometimes you have to look at a player on the other team and just appreciate greatness.
If you're a fan, just take a couple of plays on Sunday, if you love football, and just watch number fifty four for Washington.
Just a couple plays Bobby Wagner, and we think of them mostly for his time with Seattle, but he has a chance to do something by the end of this year that only two humans have ever done, and that's two thousand career tackles in the NFL.
Bobby Wagner has over nineteen hundred career tackles.
Think about that if you get about to lead a team in tackles, you get maybe one hundred and thirty one hundred and fifty in a season.
This guy is in his fourteenth year.
His first thirteen seasons, he topped one hundred tackles every single time.
He's got over nineteen hundred tackles.
The only two players in NFL history that have ever topped two thousand are Ray Lewis and London Fletcher and Bobby Wagner.
If he keeps up his double digit tackles, guys, we still got eleven games left.
He may hit it by the end of the season.
Now, I just want to put it in context because you have Ray Lewis number one, London Fletcher number two, Bobby Wagner coming in behind, about to hit two thousand, maybe by the end of this year.
Put it in context with Dallas Cowboys.
Our all time leading tackler for the Cowboys is Darren Woodson.
He's spent his entire career here and he barely has over one thousand.
So depending on how you measure it combined tackles, you know the Cowboys listed is one thousand, two hundred and thirty tackles.
Pro Football Reference credits him with nine hundred and seventy.
Tackles are graded a little bit differently after coach's tape are watched.
But Darren Woodson is ninety ninth all time on the Pro Football Reference list of all time leading tacklers, and yet Bobby Wagner has what twice according to Pro Football Reference of what Darren Woodson does.
So please just take a few moments and appreciate what you see on the field because sometimes it's a guy that's for the other team and over two thousand career tackles.
Talking to Clayton Adams said that this guy is the one.
He's like a mind reader.
He knows the formations, he knows what's coming before it happens, and so that's why he's able to diagnose things and be there where he's supposed to be.
But just the durability that it takes to play at that high level and it hit double digit tackles on a regular basis during the season when you're in your fourteenth year in the league at a position like linebacker that takes such a physical toll.
So Bobby Wagner keep an eye on him because he's going to do something that only three NFL players have ever done.
Speaker 7In history match up with and Dak is going to be fun.
Speaker 6Yes, because you've got I mean, that is two tacticians right there.
Speaker 11Now.
Speaker 3I was gonna ask, it's very bold, very very bold, but I wanted to know, you know, obviously seeing the young linebacker corps that we have young guys in that linebacker room, that we have who has the potential to be a Bobby potential And I said, it's bold, That's what I said before.
Speaker 8I do it out there.
Speaker 6I think they're so rare, Bobby Wagner, so rare that we've had guys that have been able to diagnose like dat winds of the world.
You know, Sean Lee.
If Sean Lee could have stayed healthy, he would be a guy because you know, he would average double digit tackles and just know what was coming before it got there.
But I don't know that's a that's a high bar.
Speaker 7I know they would love to have someone like that in this room.
Speaker 6Yeah, And the thing is the linebacking corps.
Frankie Luvu is also a guy number four for Washington.
What a linebacking corps they have.
He kind of had his come out breakout season last year and what a luxury for a guy like Joe Whitt Junior, who former Cowboys coach and now the coordinator working for Dan Quinn there in Washington, to have that kind of experience.
You know what is the one thing that we've been talking about with the issue with the Cowboys defense through the first six weeks communication.
Speaker 7Yeah, it's not enough guys out there that have been there before, you know, So no, I agree.
Yeah, love you Bobby.
I love you, Bob.
I really hope the guards can get up on you at the second level, but I do I will be looking for him in that matchup with Dak.
That's gonna be fun to watch, even on film.
Yes, I feel like that thank you is gonna be.
Speaker 4Fun to watch.
Speaker 3It's gonna be fun in at and T Stadium three twenty five kickoff.
Speaker 4We'll all be there.
Speaker 7Let's go, Lord, be a clout, be some clouds.
Speaker 6I think there's a chance for rain Oh to say you don't have to mess with the With the sun shining through the west end zone, we shall see.
