Now your host, Nicole Hutchison.

Welcome in a Girls Talk Boys Talk presented by in viz Line in the s WBC studio.

I'm Nicole Hutchinson alongside Rihanna Aldridge, Aisha Morrison.

Ladies, what's up?

Good morning?

We got what you're doing?

Wonderful?

Were good?

Yeah?

Sure?

I think you always yeah, looking like that?

I think?

So?

What what are you looking like?

Lost Lasso Raven having a vision?

That's her.

She got got it.

You got there, you gotta like you don't sell it right, not sell it?

All right?

Well up, we don't have enough energy for me.

I don't like it in there.

We're getting there, we're away.

We need eight o'clock.

We need energy.

Thanks, girls.

All right, Well, we got a pack show today.

We've got bringing the receipts with Bree coming up later in the show.

We got like that.

I like that.

It's gonna be every Thursday.

Yes, we have insights coming up in the next part of our show.

Are you all ready for this?

Dunda?

But copyright issue with that?

There's no better that's ain't it like a cut off?

That was us?

Okay, I don't like the energy.

We're back, We're back, We're back.

That's right.

Here he goes.

But to start the show, we have a local reporter that covers the Washington Commanders, James Katato, that is joining the show with us.

Thank you so much, Jane's for hopping on Brie for putting this together.

How's it going out there?

Well, first of all, I gotta say I love the energy of just get up, wake up, right out the gate, right out the gate.

I love it because I'm waking up too.

Love it right, love everybody up.

We got to make sure everybody's up, you know, like eight am.

We got to bring some sort of energy right all right, Well, I'm just just gonna, you know, cut straight to it.

Obviously.

Uh, the Commanders have been without Terry McLaurin, and he was limited in practice yesterday.

Do you know what the expectations are for him?

Can we expect to see him on Sunday?

Against the Cowboys.

Yeah, bottom line, dan Quinn told the media yesterday that he hoped for Uh, you want to see seventeen out there connecting with Jadon Daniels.

Obviously, if you're a Commander's fan and for the game, you know you want the best possible game out there.

Uh and kids Herring the Cowboys man scb back, you know you want the best receiver for the Commander's lining up on the other side of the field.

So I think that, Yes, while having Terry back would be massive, and dan Quin is practicing him and he's hopeful that he's going to be back, I think it's the depth of the wide receiver room that I'm more so concerned about when it comes to the Commanders, because I think Terry's gonna play on Sunday.

But Noah Brown just hit the IR and he's already been out for the past four weeks, so now he's gonna miss the combined eight weeks of time for something that probably could have been placed on the IR weeks ago.

You're leaning on second year wide receiver Luke McCaffrey, first year wide receiver Jalen Lane, Deebo Samuel didn't practice yesterday, so I mean, it's like the wide receiver room for Washington is really banged up right now.

If you get carried back, that's obviously a plus, massive plus, But the depth of the wide receiver room, that's my biggest concern right now going into Sunday.

I'm glad you brought that up, because you know, Deep obviously so making some noise, but I know he's dealing with the injury, and it kind of seems like they might have rushed him out there a little bit before he was ready, because if I'm not mistaken, the broadcast had him kind of getting taped up in between certain pot spots of the game.

So is he kind of looking like he's taking a step back healthwise?

Yeah, I mean, listen, Debo.

It's no secret that Debo was no spring chicken in this game, right and I think this is the same can be said for for Terry McLaurin and his timeline when he got off of this contract compute.

You know, I mean, he kept when I got the training camp, Terry wasn't there.

He was nowhere to be found, and then it ended up being a month after training camp that Terry ended up actually practicing with the team.

So you have a lot of these guys that are not super like I don't want to say athletically fit with the team yet.

But it's like, yeah, we're six weeks into the season, but we're kind of only six week's end of the season with some of these guys, you know what I'm saying.

So, I mean a great example on the defense side of the ball, Durrance Armstrong leads a team in sacks this season, and he went off the sideline twice in the Bears game.

He did not practice on Wednesday either, you know, So it's like, I don't know, I think that this Commander's team right now was really banged up.

Debo again, not super young anymore, so I think he's just one of the many.

Yeah, that's fair.

It seems like those are the three to watch for the big ones McLaurin, Deepot and Armstrong going into it, because all the other guys that I saw on the list kind of just seems like a veteran rest needs to need an extra day to ramp up, because it seems like Thursday is your guys, this big day too, right, James, when it comes to practice.

Yeah, Thursday's a big day.

That's normally when Quinn talked to the media one last time just to kind of like, you know, give a final injury report, so we'll know a lot more today even than we did yesterday.

I would imagine we get a final call or close to a final call on what Terry's status is.

Yeah, I mean, you're just I think, at the very minimum, even if you don't have Dorance Armstrong, you're really just hoping it a bare minimum that you get you get Terry mccorn.

But I do have to say just really quickly that you know, Jadon Daniels after the Bears game was like overly impressed with Luke McCaffery in particular.

I hope that he gets more targets against Dallas because he only had one target against that or against Chicago and I turned into a thirty three hour touchdown.

He said he was really impressed with McCaffrey.

Jalen Lane is a really really dangerous special teams and kind of like slop threat for the commanders.

So if it comes down where they have to trust their younger guys, I don't hate it, but obviously you want your big guys out there.

Yeah, So to Hiji, it sounds like there's been some rotational things kind of going on at that right guard spot.

I know cosme is like y'all's big dog over there.

But if I'm not mistaken, he had a knee injury versus the Bears, and has he been placed on.

Pub Uh, well, Cosmey, you know, Cosmey has been one of those guys that you feel really bad for.

Yeah, right, because he is that well you know, maybe if you're not a Dallas ye, if you're a Commander's fan, really bad for Sam Cosmy.

Uh, just just based off the fact that he has worked a lot to get back with the team.

In the offseason.

He was he tours ac I believe you, towards the atl in the playoffs last year and that put him out for a really extended period of time.

Now, in terms of their injury report, their injury report ahead of the Dallas Cowboys, Uh, he is not on or he's on as a full participant in practice as of Wednesday, So I would say perhaps expect him.

That would be obviously a massive boost to Washington's offensive line.

Now.

Granted, if they don't have him, I'm not necessarily worried because of Dallas's defense and what they may or may not bring in terms of threatening the commander's offensive line, because I mean, we'll call a spade of spade, you know, right.

I mean, so Dallas's defense is not that great this year, and so I wouldn't be super worried even if we didn't have Cosme rolling into the Cowboys game.

And it also helps when you have a mobile quarterback.

But yeah, as of right now, Cosme was a full participant in practice.

John Kim King is king John Kime?

Yeah, h K.

I saw he tweeted out that zach Ert said after the loss the other night that the players are pissed off.

Is that the sentiment that you're getting out, I don't nobody got time for that over here.

So are you getting this sentiment that you know, those guys are really disappointed and then that loss on Monday and that they're really trying to bounce back on a short week.

Yeah, I mean you heard it from Jacory crossky merit.

I mean the facts of the fact of your one probably tighter grip on the football from Jane and Daniels away from being fourign two and tied for the top spot in the NFC East and now you're three and three instead, Jacory Crossky Merrit was very candid and said afterwards in the locker room that it sucked.

Bobby Wagner was very candid in the locker room afterwards.

Zach Ert, like you said that the guys are pissed off.

You know, this is this is an interesting food that's mixed with veterans and younger players, and so the veterans this is why you really love the fact that the Commanders are, you know, quote unquote one of the older teams in the league because you have those zach Ertz, those Bobby Wagners that are very good at, I guess, controlling the locker room a little bit right and kind of keeping a level head for guys that are in their first year in the league, like a Jaquori, Bill Krofsky Merritt.

Yeah, I would say so.

I mean, listen, this is the team that went to the NFC Championship game last year, and for all intents and purposes, has very similar pieces to that NFC Championship For run, there is there is no reason why they should be three and three.

They should be four and two because they should not have lost that in Chicago.

Straight up, you know this is this is also a must win game for the Washington Commanders because their schedule after Dallas is a gauntlet.

So you have Dallas on the road, then the week after you have Kansas City on the road, which you could argue the toughest place to play in the NFL, and Kansas City getting Rashid Rice back, and then you have Seattle at home.

I mean, it's just like you have and then you have Detroit at home.

That's it's a gauntlet of a schedule.

So the Commanders have to play pissed off.

They have to win this game if they must win games.

So I don't mind Zach are saying that the guys are pissed off because they got to win this game.

You know what, you sound just like us, literally, just like because the Cowboys could have been in a whole different position as well, if they would have just got the job done against the Panthers last week, could have.

Been possibly first as well in the NFCS or sorry, second in the NFC East.

But one thing that stands out to me is a stat that I saw next Gen shot out to them.

Genera the Commanders have generated pressure with an unblocked pass rusher on eleven point one percent of their opponents drop backs this season.

That's the second highest rate in the NFL.

But we've got to guy Hello and Dak Prescott, who's one of the best against pressure.

What concerns you the most about the way Dak is playing right now?

Everything?

We love it, you know, Dak.

Dak is an MVP candidate right now.

And for anybody that says he's not is hating.

I mean, he's the one thing that I will say, you know, is the Commanders when they get inside pressure.

So when they get Javon king Law, Javon king Law and Daron Payne and on the inside on the quarterback, they are very dangerous, you know.

So, I mean it's but then again, you have a quarterback in Dak who is just lighting up the scoreboard.

You know, this is the best offense in the NFL right now.

Adding their number one receiver back, their number two receiver is playing like a number one receiver right now.

So it's like I think that, especially with the Commander's secondary, I would be a little weary.

That scares me a lot.

However, I would say this, so the Commanders, their secondary in particular and their defense has been the slow starter of the two.

Their offense.

While they have not necessarily scored touchdowns, every single opening drive that they've played this season, you know they've gotten the ball down the field Daniels.

Daniels can win in a shootout.

We've seen that from him, so I'm not necessarily worried if it's a game where the scoreboard is just going up, up, up, up up, I don't mind that because Jake and Daniels can respond to that.

This is also the first time that Jaycon Daniels is playing Dak Prescott, so we'll kind of see what happens.

I think he's good at stepping up to a challenge, but I saw it stat and the Commander's defense has to get better because they've given up thirty nine points through six games on the first two drives of each game.

So you just taking my rundown.

I'm taking down you just taking We need you though, yeah, I do like this is this is a Dallas team that puts up almost four hundred yards total offense per game, So it's like and and the Commanders have a bad passing defense there.

They've been pretty porous, so it's like you you need to get off to a better start.

You need to give Jayden an opportunity.

Now, granted, the offense in Washington, did you know favors in the Chicago game, they have three turnovers.

Those three turnovers in that single game against Chicago tied the first five game fourth of turnovers that the offense had all season.

So it's like they're not doing any favors.

You have to win the turnover margin if you're going to beat Dallas.

So, but the defense has to get off to a strong start.

Shootout coming, you ain't.

I was singing it in my head.

There we go.

Hey, let's get it done in regulation.

Though I don't have time for that, but I'm yeah right.

Really dope.

I don't like James.

Thank you, Yeah, I know, we appreciate you so much.

Woo What What What What Look?

Welcome back into Girls Star Wars Talk presented by in visit line Nicole Hutchison, Breonna Aldridge and Aisha Morrison and.

Ladies, Way up, We up?

Are you sure?

Where?

Yes?

We's up?

I don't know, I don't feel it's Oh my god, she's so judg mental.

You're not awake enough for me, I don't sick of it.

Okay, all right, ladies, it's time for some Ayisha's.

Insight and.

The Washington Commanders.

I don't know, I'm sorry, I just feel like to beat your bike.

Well are you ready with this?

Yes?

Man.

You have a familiar person running that defense over there, in a Joe Witt junior, and let me tell you, the people are not happy with him right now.

The one thing about this game that you know stands out to me, just initially, just looking into the matchup, is that Dak is very familiar with this defense that they run because you ran it for millions, zillions of years, yep.

And that this defense is also very predicated on getting turnovers and getting pressure with that front seven.

The Commanders are able to get pressure with their front four more than almost any other defense in the NFL.

Right now, however, we just heard James talk about the laws or you know, the uncertainty regarding Doris Armstrong, and don't look now, he is their premier pass rusher five and a half sacks on the year, you could say six, because I'm sure he's pissed they gave that half one to somebody else.

He's top three and run stops top three and pressures.

I mean, just an efficient year for him.

But him being out is huge for them, you know, because you also have von Miller on the other side three and a half sacks, but again he's a little long in the tooth.

You have Doron payin Javon Kinlaw in the middle.

And let me tell you something, the Bears don't want nothing to do with the interior.

So what they did was attack their perimeter and attack these edges outside of outside of Von Miller, and you know, obviously Drin's Armstrong not being there, and that was something that really worked for them this past game also too.

You get to the second level, my Lord Bobby Wagner and Frankie Louvu when they line up in that big nickel, and that's what we've seen we saw here in Dallas is that when they go into that smaller lineup, Man Chicago caught them in those lineups multiple times and were able to run the ball on them with the DeAndre Swift and really attack the perimeter.

Lot of those outside zone runs were effective for them.

Dallas has the ability to we heard we heard Davonte Williams yesterday talk about the fact that they weren't physical enough.

I expect for.

Him to come out and really want to put his shoulder in somebody's chest.

And Bobby Wagner and Frankie Louvio have struggled when they when guards are getting up to the second second level on them.

I believe that Tyler Booker coming back is gonna be huge for you.

This this Russian defense, well, this defense in general, for the Commanders, they are twenty third and yards per game, two hundred and thirty five yards per play seventh, they're giving up seven yards of play.

They're twenty seventh.

This this Russian defense is also well, you know, this Russian defenses is better than what it was last year, but they are still struggling in certain areas.

They also are very susceptible to explosive plays, which we're gonna get to that.

On the back end, the nickel cornerback Mike Sanders Still, I studied him coming out the draft.

This is a guy that I thought could play.

But he is struggling in that position.

He's given up, he's giving up.

A lot of yardage.

He has twenty one open targets giving up at that position.

Marshawn Lattimore is not running the same.

That's what I'm saying, be nice from he's struggling to run the same.

And so Dallas, I do believe, will have the opportunity to take advantage of the things they have going on on the back end and also to attacking the perimeter and those linebackers when they decide to line up in that nickel, it's it's there.

They're susceptible there, and I expect for Dallas to try to take advantage there.

Another thing, too, is that the Cowboys the cow well, yeah, the Cowboys.

The Cowboys defense, and the Cowboys often the offense has been very fantastic on third down, They've struggled there in the last couple of weeks.

Dallas has to be more efficient there and be able to stay on the field.

So my three keys to the game, y'all, are attack their secondary early.

We heard James talk about the fact that they have given up points in the first on the first drive of plays, and it's tapered off.

So it started off at the beginning of the season, y'all.

It was they were forcing three and outs and forcing punts, and then as the season's going on, if they gotten a little bit more banged up.

They have not been able to get offenses off the field as much.

I would attack their secondary early with my tight ends, with some of those with some of the crossers, with Turpin if he's able to do some of those things, and also if you get cde Land back and George Pickens, my lord, this is really going to stress that secondary that they have also too.

Went on third down again, this is a defense that this is a Washington defense that has struggled on third down.

How do you continue to stay on the field and keep that keep your defense on the sideline.

You have to win on third down and again attack the perimeter when they are in that big nickel.

I really want to see these tackles getting up on these linebackers just like Chicago did.

Because Chicago worked them in the run game with DeAndre Swift, I think that Dallas has.

The ability to do that.

So yeah, that's really the gist of it.

They will bring Frankie Louvu up the A gap and B gap.

In some blitzing situations.

I heard you you mentioned yesterday Bree and James mentioned some of the simulated pressures where they show that they're blitzing and then they drop guys into coverage.

I think Dallas, I think Dak will be able to read some of that stuff.

Well, I know he has struggled.

With that sometimes though even in camp I've seen him have some issues with that.

I hope that he's able to diagnose at the line of scrimmage and get the guys in the right spots.

But there are a lot of spots where Dallas can take advantage of this defense, avoid that interior that's really strong if you can.

I think that Booker, Booker, what is this gentleman's name?

Why am I forgetting Tyler Smith?

And none?

No, no, no, no, who is our center?

One of the Hoffman my board.

I'm sorry, Brock Brock Kaffman.

They're gonna have their They're gonna have their hands full.

They're going up against another really good defensive end interior.

The last three weeks they have you know, last week they have their hands full, you know with the.

Browns and A'shawn Robinson.

This is another good defensive front and the interior that can take advantage of you if you don't protect well.

So, yes, that's the gist of it, y'all.

It is spacing opportunity on the back end, So spacing opportunity in the run game, Dallas just has to be efficient.

But I think that they can score points on this defense.

I want to oh the guy.

I want to start with the trenches first.

When you look at Cowboys offensive line and this Commander's defensive line, what matchups do you feel like favor the Cowboys most the offensive line of defensive line.

Cowboys offensive line Commander's defensive line, I would say.

Like individually, well, given what I saw Darnell Wright do in the run game, a lot of his temperament and stuff is very similar to tern Steel.

I think that Terance Steele can have a good day on the ground if they decide to go and get out on the perimeter.

These tight ends are gonna have to wear their hard hats and come, you know, block on the outside.

But I think Terrence still I'm not afraid of him with that matchup with von Miller.

I know that von Miller is still Von Miller, and we have to be respectful of him.

But I think some of the things that Terrence still struggles with, Von Miller is not as good at it anymore.

Some of the bends, some of the speed, he's more powerful, so I think that that might cancel out, especially if he's able to if Dallas and Schottenheimer are able to get the run game going, I think that these tackles.

Should be able to get out in space and do some things.

And something that we didn't talk about yet, Cowboys are healthy, y'all.

Everybody practiced yesterday in some capacity for the first time since Amen.

Okay, so we just heard James list off all the injuries they got going on on both sides of the ball.

So I think if you do see it's not official yet if Booker's back in there, but I think that's huge for this game, right because I think you saw a little starting to see some of that off last week.

One hundred percent.

I know continuity is a huge thing, but the coaches are going to say this person can go in and fill in for a starter.

But we see what we see.

There's a reason why you have a Beb there instead of hoffin.

There's a reason why that you have a Booker there.

Right, Not to discredit anything that's going on, but I think that makes me more confident.

And one thing that I read and James mentioned it about the whole team being a little more older, but defensively they were like one of the oldest, if not the oldest, on defensive side of the ball.

And I'm glad you brought up von Miller because I've actually covered him twice and once in Denver and then in Buffalo, and when he got to Buffalo after that injury, he just hasn't been the same.

He got back and then we just saw absolutely nothing.

He was a ghost town.

And then his final year he started to pick up.

And I remember talking to one of the coaches there and they were like, even though to your point, Ahisha, it's not the same guy that we brought in here two and a half years ago, but he's I still rather have him here, hear the next guy, because he's still gonna give me above average of who I get off the streets.

So to your point, but if you do watch him, he is a little haftic slower to get to where he to where he needs to be, if that is.

But I want to when I look at this defense all together, though, it's going to be the secondary where they're just gonna eat.

I f cde lambs back and any Commanders fan, any analysts on that side is going to tell you that that's where they're fear for the most.

But obviously it does start up front.

But oh, I'm so excited to see what they do and eat up the secondary.

They are struggling very much though, Yeah, you mentioned the age of the defense.

Well, I would say that their youngest player, Trey Amos.

Their rookie, might be the best player they have.

And that's secondary, my lord.

Yeah, so and and and and and to people's standards.

You know, Frankie Louvu is someone that I mean, he really popped off the screen the last couple of years and the blitzen ability and just to speed, but he's in more of an elevated role and I think that, you know, some of that has changed some of his effectiveness again, like as a blitzer, and they have him, you know, playing the linebacker position in that nickel spot.

And I'm telling you, y'all the way that Chicago was able to get up on their linebackers, I really believe.

Dallas should be able to do this.

But they gotta be clean, because these guys are you know, Lulu is someone that can slip through tackles and to still get up fields.

So I'm looking for Dallas to really be physical this game because I think they can obviously take advantage of, you know, the passing stuff.

But in order to run the clock, to not have this offense for the Commanders that can score, that can run the ball on the field, Dallas is going to have to establish a run game.

They struggled with that last week.

How do they bounce back and try to do some of the things that Chicago did last week?

Well on Monday love it all?

Right, let's go to the secondary.

Who what mat do you think?

Favorite?

The cowbars?

My lord?

Honestly, if we're being real, like I'm not trying to be funny, mostly all of them.

They're all struggling.

And you mentioned Marshall Lattimore.

He's a little bit like he's very hot or cold, like there's no in between with him this season, at least with his second year.

My biggest nose is he's very inconsistent and.

He will give up the big play.

They all will.

Touch his point.

Yeah, and I think that's huge.

With CD coming back, and it really does sound like he's trying to come back.

I'm excited to actually hear from him later this afternoon.

But even Kavante Turfin him coming back.

We're talking about an older defense.

Well, when you get older, you get slower.

I think speed is going to be the key in Cavante Turfin coming back.

I think is huge for this game.

And I know it's been a bit a little silent in the running back room for a rookie running back Jaden Blue, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets some fantasy points to some people this week because I think speed is gonna kill the Commander's defense.

Yeah, you also mentioned I mean, I mean, I think a very important thing to talk about as well is their blitz rate and their pressure rate and some of the things they do.

Talking about the running backs, Brie, you just mentioned Jayden Blue.

If he's out there, the blitz pickups better be picking ups, you know what I'm saying.

Javonte Williams also to these guys have to be aware.

This offensive line has to be aware in communication with the way that the commanders are.

And especially to y'all, if Dorrin.

Armstrong's not out there and these guys don't feel like they can generate pressure at the same clip with just rushing, for expect for them to blitz and Dallas has to.

I'm not worried about the quarterback, but I am making hopefully making sure that guys are communicated in these pickups, that they've been reading their keys, that their communication to this offensive line that's getting healthy.

Like you said, Brie, that you know that continuity continues even though they're coming together after some of them not being on the field for a little bit.

Yeah, offensively for the Cowboys, this is everything that you could ask for going into this matchup.

I know nobody says must win game in Week seven, James did for his team.

It's in our heads, right, Like, this is huge.

I asked some guys in the locker room yesterday and they admittedly, this one does brig anytime you're going against a divisional opponent, you're gonna have a little more juice.

But because of where this could place us after this week, if we get it, like we.

Understand the assignment, basically, no, this is.

A big game.

Yeah, I have both I mean both teams.

As he said, guys in the locker room saying that they were pissed off.

You had guys in the Cowboys locker room as well in postgame talking about they were pissed off.

So we're gonna get two pissed off teams facing off against each other on Sunday.

Yeah, I love it.

I don't know if that's good or bad.

It's like it's they're so mad enough for me, right, Yeah, I mean I need to see more.

Dallas needs this win because of the NFC standings as well.

You know, you've lost to two NFC teams.

You don't have the room to drop.

And then also too, you could really insump sense.

You know, somebody's getting buried after this game.

You hear me, whoever loses this game, that's fair.

I really wholeheardly believe playoff implications and anything that you're looking for in the future.

This is when you start making some decisions on how you know, do you need to go attack at the trade deadline or do you need to do anything like this?

This game it has heavy implications for the futures of these two different teams because Washington expected to be better than what they are right now, and that's what James was saying, like they expected to be better than what they are right now.

Dallas feels like, to your point earlier, Nicole, Dallas feels like they've let some of these games slip through their fingers.

Dang, I guess we both got the same story the Bears.

We should have beat the Bears.

That's both of us, both teams, like we shoulda beat the Bears.

But you talked about with over there being under fire, and somebody had mentioned it, like if you look at metrically where they sit with some of their stats, maybe we would trade with them in a heartbeat, very much in a heartbeat.

So that's to your point of expectations.

That's how high they are over there, because this is a team that expected to make a deep playoff run because they were able to exceed the expectation.

With the rookie quarterback.

Now there's a lot of you know, with this second year understanding.

You know, you gotta pay guys and all those different things.

But yeah, it's crazy because they are opposite in a lot of ways.

Yeah, you're talking about like they are opposite in a lot of ways.

Like Dallas, your pass offense is thriving, their secondary is struggling.

Their run defense is pretty goodf your run offense.

Is pretty effective as well.

Like at some point in time, something's gonna have to cancel out.

That's just where we are, Like the Commander's offense is not it's twenty ninth on third down.

The Dallas defense is thirty second on third down.

So I'm just looking at it as magnets, like something is going to have to cancel out.

I think it comes down to the turnovers and then also to start and field position.

I believe special teams, that's the element we don't talk about enough.

Yeah, it's gone.

I think special teams is gonna be huge in this game as well, and where these guys end up starting and ending.

But they but they've proven that they can still drive downfield.

It's just about finishing in the read zone for the Cowboys for the most part.

But we're gonna take our second break here on Girlstar Boys Talk presented by Viz.

They always send me an email receipt by the way.

Aren't you.

But you got to have the receipts, y'all.

It's kind of like a like the screen shots.

You don't know if you'll ever need to bring it up from October of twenty nineteen of what happened like two thousand and three.

It's got to start keeping the receipts.

That part in the locker room, they say a lot of good stuff.

But outside the locker room yesterday to start the day, we heard from Brian Schottenheimer of course, and this game, I don't know if you heard, but it's the first three y kickoff from home game from the season, which we know what that means.

If you're please die hard Dallas Cowboys fan.

Okay, because it came up last year.

But we just talked about last segment the Commander's defense.

Well, there's going to be another defensive opponent out there in the end zone when the sun is shining through AT and T Stadium windows.

Yes, it was an issue.

Yes, it was talked about.

So of course it was asked about yesterday to coach.

You know, I've been here for a little while and I've heard about it.

You know, hey, look, we have we really do.

I mean, you know, if you guys could see the process and plan that we have in place to figure it out.

I mean, we have satellite imaging, we have pictures of the sun when it's coming down, and so there's a there's a there's a big plan in the process.

But I think when you look historically at what's happened, it really hasn't affected uh, you know, many situations and we planned for it, the opponent's planned for it.

But at the end of the day, it's something that we're aware of and it's very beautiful.

It's majestic almost when the sun comes through there.

So it's beautiful and I can't wait for I used to to dive into this in a few seconds, but I got to go to my next topic because this is something we've talked about for the last couple of days, and your mom kind of brought this up to us too.

Okay, George Pickens, he was the highlight of the talk yesterday, how much fun he's having.

He actually said.

His hurdle to y'all.

He said, that wasn't that was in the mid range of all the things he's done, and we were all laughing because we thought it was fantastic.

He's like, I've done better.

I could do better, So stay tuned on that.

But we've been talking about how they're going to pay this man.

He's playing elite football and as he keeps growing in this league, in this offense, he's probably going to be a top paid receiver coming into the next season.

So the big question was does he want to stay here?

Is the contract on his mind?

He said that you've been better than expected.

He would you be open to stay here long term?

I wouldn't mind it, Like I said, the guys in the locker room.

Super cool.

The energy is great.

But like I said, I always, you know, want to showcase my talents most definitely really say all that because I'm definitely in the middle of the season, so like I'm not fully fully thinking about it.

I kind of just want to keep going and see how far we can get and see it as far as playoffs and stuff like that.

But definitely, you know, keep on the improver.

Mm hmmm.

Those are my receipts for y'all to start with me.

I love that they had me something to think about, especially when somebody says they wouldn't mind staying here.

I need the little more.

That's okay, we'll get to that.

It's fine.

He's he's very humble, very much.

I love I love him with him dude.

But you know, George Pickens, actually this is a cool stat one of five players in the last thirty years with five hundred plus receiving yards and six plus receiving touchdowns in his first six games with a new team.

He joins Randy Moss and Terrell Owens and Amari Cooper with that accomplishment.

But just talking about GP, you know, I was chatting with CD and I.

Was like, brow, how is shot?

Are you gonna like balance?

How?

Like?

You asked?

Did you look stressed like this?

Brouh.

Literally, I was just like, bro, like, what's gonna happen?

He was like, dog like, I don't know, because what he's been able to showcase is basically what I've been able to do, you know, my entire career, luckily here in Dallas.

And so he just gave high praise to GP.

He's like, bro, I don't even care.

Like what I love about CD is that he's not selfish.

You know, of course he wants to help his team win, right, but he's not selfish when it comes to wanting to always be the guy to make the play.

And him and GP have become so close to where he's like, dog get it, how you live?

So I'm sure, he said, he's sure that Shoddy has a plan for how they're gonna be able to evenly distribute the ball, but it don't really matter because we gonna both make you pay so.

And that's big.

Yeah, you don't always get that with other We've seen other teams.

We don't have to call anybody out in our division in here that's been struggling, right, with personalities and things like that.

And to your point about CD, you know they just want to win.

Well when they're talking about this contract.

Part of his answer UH to a separate question but still the same topic.

What are you most interested?

What is gp looking for for a team for that long term because you know you're getting paid wherever you go.

Is it winning?

Is it the money, is it the environment, who you're around?

And he said, straight up, it's the winning.

So I believe it.

I believe I mean, of course the money's probably yeah, like I'm not coming back, but like chump change, but it's the winning.

So at him saying I wouldn't mind it made sense to me.

I mean, I know a lot of people are like you wouldn't mind it, like you want people wanted more, something more definite.

But he also followed up and said, I'm in the middle of the season.

Yeah, like I'm not.

And I know guys say they're not really thinking about it and stuff like that, but I know that it might be in the back of his mind, but this is he He clearly cares about winning games.

He's been, He's been, you know, an other places where they weren't consistently they were winning, I guess, but he really wants to get into the playoffs, make noise, he wants to contribute, So I understand his sentiment.

Now, Shady not you saying that it ain't affect the game.

I just remember that meme that was like everywhere it was like a picture taking the turn too a meme?

Was it?

Was it in CD's eyes.

I think it was.

But it's subsiding.

There are former there are players from your team that have talked about it, there are players from other teams that have talked about having to prepare for it.

I'm all for trying to have an advantage if indeed it is shining in the direction of, you know, the side that the other opposing teams coming from, or whatever the case may be.

However, when it's affecting your offensive efficiency, which I've seen in my lifetime multiple times, and it's something that is that can be controlled, that's the most frustrating part about it, because it has I remember I think it was the same frame game.

It really did make a difference in that game, and you had players come out and be like, I couldn't see.

I'm like, oh, nugget, I couldn't see.

And so you know, I know Shoddy understands.

He's it was a lot of sarcasm and and he's being a little facetious, like I know he does.

I know he knows it really affects the players.

So I wish I had crazy.

Nobody else has to deal with that in around the league except for because how this.

Stadium and there's no reason, like there's.

Truly no reason, real reasoning for it at this point, I wish I had, especially since they have curtains.

Esthetic.

I wish I could make this bigger.

But it was a meme of ayesha, wait what I mean?

No, it's fine because that was like the perfect.

You saved it before.

I look crazy, It's okay, Well, it makes it makes me, makes it lighthearted, y'all jump.

To me.

I would like for him to be I would like for pickets to be here.

I think if it's regardless, regardless, so what Dallas does on the defensive side of the ball, you have a lot of your offensive guys returning, I would.

Not don't mess up this offense.

Yeah, just keep it how it is and if because you're still gonna need to even if the defense gets better next year or whatever you decide to be.

It's gonna be an acclamation period, score all the points until they can come on with it.

Well, hopefully they come on with it on Sunday three, twenty five, kickoff against the Washington Commanders.

We're gonna be breaking down some more film tomorrow on Friday and a bus.

Yes, Christie Still if she's gonna come with it.

Joins the show with her own segment as well.

It will be our Friday segment for Christie.
