The following He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

Cowboys.

This is Girls Talkboys Talk, presented by Jigsaw Dating, preferred dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys and broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star. Now your host, Nicole Hutchison.

All Right, Cowboys Nation, welcome in to Girls Talkboys Talk, presented by Jigsaw, the third dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys. Right here in the SWBC studio, I'm Nicole Hudgson, alongside Eastan Morrison, Jessinavarees, Christie Scales.

Wish we were.

Coming here with some something better to talk about a win, but unfortunately we are not.

The Cowboys fall to.

The San Francisco forty nine ers once again, the final, thirty to twenty four in Levi Stadium. Girls, at first, let me just start with you, Christy, because you were there at that game.

What did you notice? What were the vibes?

I mean, did you expect this outcome yesterday?

The fact that they had a chance in the fourth quarter was pretty amazing, considering how abysmal the third quarter was and the fact that the defense got the stop on the second to final defensive series and got the offense the ball with a chance to score. The winning touchdown. Was pretty remarkable because as well as the defense played in the first half, limiting the forty nine ers to just two field goals, the wheels fell off in the third quarter for the defense and the offense didn't do

Yes, Yeah, here's the thing.

I expected more out of them, especially post by week, having a week to kind of sit in the previous loss and really reflect and think about how they wanted to continue their season and make change immediately going forward. And what was so disheartening for me was in the first half, you saw those changes being made, you saw them being implemented, You saw that fight that you were

You have a week to figure this out, which.

In football time, that's a lot of time to figure that out, and you can only hold up for two quarters before the wheels fall off again. So for me,

I don't know you ever spilled something on the ground and it just feels like it's just too much to have to clean up at one time and you're just looking at it and with a laundry.

Sometimes you don't have enough paper towels, talk about.

It, so you you ain't got enough paper talles.

You start thinking about dang.

I gotta go use some real hotels. You know what I'm saying. It's it's there.

It's not enough.

Listen, it's two a point. So where because you were trying to cover up other deficiencies, it's making things worse like and it's making things harder on both sides of the wall for you.

Because to your point, they did make some changes.

You saw Zimmer come out and do some different fronts trying to make sure that they stopped the run. We saw the offense come out and do some things offensively as well, And one of the differences on the Office's side was like they weren't helping the tacticles like that, yeah, cause they wanted the tight ends to be They wanted to get Jake Ferguson involved.

That though yep, you literally like cant yep.

So it's one of those It's just one of those things where I think we s we sit here on the show and we try to figure out how can you fix this? How can they adjust this? H what roster things can they do? How can they scheme and stuff? But some stuff it's just not fixable and it just feels like to not Last night was the time where I was just like, this can't be fixed with this.

And that's the hard part to me.

It's like, I don't think some of it is fixable cause it begets another thing, begets another thing, begets another thing, or it takes away from the other one. So I think that was the hard reality for me last night was just like, yeah, this is what it is.

Yeah, this is what it is.

Yep.

I think you also had to look at like We've talked so much about how this offense and defense has struggle.

I mean, you look at Special Teams, they were struggling too.

It trickles down, like, look, you can only do so much when everybody around you is making mistakes. The stakes go up, the pressure goes up, and at some point you can't expect the one stable part of your team to be perfect.

The wheels are going to fall off there as well.

And that's just I feel like the natural rotation in football is you have off games. This one just so happened to come for Special Teams, which usually holds up pretty well, but very uncharacteristic mistakes all around Special teams, a lot of penalties and something that I've really noticed is a lot of I say, a lot of some veteran mistakes that I was really surprised to see, like a CJ.

Goodwin missing and I speak to.

The yeah please very first play. Yes, Special Teams was frustrated from the get go because the Cowboys received they win the toss, They receive the ball because they want to, you know, make statement play from the lead and not fall behind like they've had in early losses. So Cavante Turpin is lined up back. There just a single returner, CJ Goodwin foot backfoot on the thirty five yard line.

The nine other.

Blockers front foot on the forty And if you notice the kickoff was slightly delayed last night, if you were watching TV, you probably notice that. It's like, huh, okay, what's the problem. The referee was telling the down judge. The referee stands behind the return he's in the back of the end zone, underneath the goalposts. As he's making his way to his spot behind Cavante Turpin behind the end zone, he's telling the down judge that's one of the officials that he was right in front of me,

That's crazy. So you know how.

Sometimes there are just games where you're just kind of like you don't have a good feeling at the start of it, and there's angst done this, And it was that way from the get go. Just from that error, Now, the other errors on special teams, Marquise Bell leaving early, that's a penalty, Brandon Aubrey miss hitting the ball, not hitting the landing zone with the kickoff, that's an error.

And with the backwards pass or for past, Yeah, did CJ not position himself correctly?

Did he not come around.

I did not ask him about that, but it was forward, yeah, and not by much, but enough that I think that it was actually the correct call. So it was it was a failure of execution.

Yeah. I went back to watch that specifically today because CJ. Goodwin is a guy that we really talk about a lot on here that you really missed on special teams last year.

And when I was going back through the.

Penalties and kind of watching when they happen, it did look like a mis execution. To your point, Christy starting a game off like that, it kind of looked like he was a little rattled throughout the entirety of the game, just frustrated.

He looked frustrated.

There was one play in the third quarter, early in the third quarter where San Francisco's getting the ball. Kickoff happens and he just completely misses this tackle. Like I'm talking, you have returner right here, CJ good Ones right here. And to me, that's weird because CJ. Goodwes your your special team's ace. Who's going to get that every time? So again, when to me, when a game like.

That is impacting a guy like CJ.

Goodwin, who's really hard to shake, to your point, Christy, and just a veteran that understands this game and everything that goes into it. That told me what kind of the game it was from from all aspects and that confirms it.

Yeah.

And it ended up that of the six penalties you know, marked off against the Cowboys, four of them were on special teams.

Go ahead, no, go ahead, go ahead.

It was weird too because when you go back and look at the statistics about the penalties, and san Fran was penalized far. I mean they did what they have seventy five yards?

Yeah, they were shooting themselves.

In the foot for seventy three yards.

Yeah.

I mean they had quite a few penalties themselves. But like the Cowboys penalties.

You can feel them.

Yeah.

Does that make sense?

Like when when when a lot of these penalties happen, they sit into like the feeling of the game. And I just felt like to your point and to your point about the special team stuff also too, you gotta think after something like that happens, are you second guessing yourself? Are you second guessing like which if this is okay, if this is not okay, whatever the case may be.

I don't think we should still, you know, I don't know if point the finger kind of saying that even though we were disappointed Special.

Teams all the day, No, I'm saying, I'm saying in general, just looking I looked at them as as an at they as an advantage game changer.

Yeah, I thought they could change.

I mean, and if we're being honest, Cavant Turpin has been having some good returns, He's had some They've had some success. Brian Inger has some fantastic points.

Yesterday and it was windy conditions and.

You could see the ball.

Did you cross winds?

Oh yeah, the crosswinds, And I think it affected a couple of the deep throws as well. That makes sense, not as much as Dak getting hit as he's throwing it. But may I share one other story Special Teams Brandon Aubrey wise, because I think most of the folks joining us on Girls Stock Boys talk know that he had

That's crazy.

Make it happen. I don't even know I can happen.

Think of the lights being an issue, but shout out to them for putting the work in. That jury duty get.

You and he unless something changes with the court. I mean cases can change during the process, but no court today. But he's supposed to be back at jury duty tomorrow Tuesday.

Can we just break down the last drive because the Cowboys still had.

A chance to win that game. When you look at the.

Final drive and Dak almost thows an interception next play I believe that was the turpin deep ball, and then he throws in a double coverage to Jalen Brooks. Were those the right four calls? Do you feel like or how would you have played?

Called that?

Not like that?

I like that.

I've said this one time. I say again, listen.

What frustrates me the most about this team in particular is that it feels like there are moments in games like even so you can go back to the end of the second quarter when you had an opportunity to go up more than what you were at that time. Those moments are so big in games, they feel so pivotal,

I know this would work.

And again, like I'm not saying that the run game was really just killing things, but it did keep them honest and you did.

Have some success. You had a little success in it.

And to me, I felt like three minutes left, if I'm not mistaken, they had two of their timeouts, two timeouts and the two minute warning. Yep, honey, in football world.

That's ten minutes.

And you go out there and you just it just feels like they don't take some of these possessions seriously, Like it literally is like a one possession game within the game sometimes, like all you need is one possession to flip the script. And I'm not saying like I know how to play call in that moment. What I'm saying is is like, where is the sense of urgency to get to put yourself in a position to be successful in these moments?

And it just feels so.

Not not within the moment, or like not feeling the moment of the room, not reading the room.

Of what's happening in this game.

And that happened multiple times in this It happened at least two or three times where it's like this is the this is a key drive.

I know you feel that where it's like, this is a big drive, this is a big position.

And it's a three and out. It's a quick three and out too, I mean literally taking seventeen seconds off the clock?

What are we doing?

We they had the ball with three or five left in the game.

This was this is the second quarter where there was like I think I'm talking about both they took such a few seconds off off the clock, and it's like, how were you and I get the benefit of going hurry up?

We talked about that, but it's just.

Like, yeah, in the third quarter they had the ball for seven plays in sixteen yards, So that's not complimentary football. Meanwhile, your defense is getting high out to dry getting up three scores. But Nicole's question is about the final drive. I do have to say that I thought Dak's best pass of the night with the third down when to that's a very difficult catch, a very difficult catch because it was it was good coverage by the cornerback. He was right there.

But do you feel like dropped it right in?

Now?

Jack dropped it in? That's just a difficult Uh, just my things.

I'm I'm frustrated with it because you could be in a position to extend the clock at this point. Why are you giving brock Party a chance to score again?

After that?

Say you go down, you march down the field, you do what you need to do. You score your touchdown, and you do it quick. You're playing hurry up. It's brock Party. He's gonna make chunk plays. He's going to be mobile. And one thing about brock Party is you know he can come back and he's he can score. He can score under pressure like that, even if he had a minute thirty seconds. So what did you think was going to happen when man had three minutes left in this game?

I mean, truly, it's so frustrating.

To me.

But what I wanted to point out too was something I.

Noticed within that whole drive was, yes, the play calling didn't agree with can't exactly run.

You didn't get your run game.

Established throughout this game enough to sit back and rely on it to drain your clock, so you couldn't do that. So I understand the logic in going pass heavy with it.

But what I'm looking at and noticing from Dak is this sense of.

His first look is his only look, because multiple times I wrote down here, it's first and ten at the sandfrind twenty five, trying to.

Force the pass to CD.

There were four defenders around CD at this time. Guess who was right there, right in front of him? Who could have gotten you five yards just a little chunk pass. Zeke was open right in front of Dak. Had he turned his eyes literally Nicole like this would have not gotten you the first would have pushed you up and got you rolling to get the first down. Okay, next one, let's see Scrambles throws away almost an interception, no separation

Was open on that one before?

On the second down Hunter Liptey and again had something I noticed brock Party was really good at throughout this game, was getting his different looks in and first one's not open.

Next, second one's not open. Next I'm gonna scramble.

And brock Party did phenomenal at that throughout, especially the second half. Dak doesn't do that. He was very locked in on you're my first look, this is where the ball's going, and that's it. No matter what happens, I'm sticking with you.

And that can work.

Sometimes, but in this drive, that was also a factor that really played into making it unsuccessful.

Play calling not favorable.

You didn't get your run going, couldn't lean on it. Your quarterback has to be better in that final final drive what could be your final drive.

Quarterback has to play better.

Well, that's protection too, though, Like what you're talking about is protection.

I mean, but they really weren't holding it wasn't he had time and he might have.

He might he might have, And that's something I noticed watching him.

When you have when you have one tackles.

One thing two tackles is another because he also too when you learn your tackles. He also has a clock in his head of how long ter still can hold up. But he's also having too and fairness of Tiler guy, and I feel like he played one of his better games. He also too, but they just decide to just line up Boso over Terrence.

Sorry, of course dressed.

But when you have when you're stressed out and you're catching your clock is going off for this guy and this guy, I don't.

Know how he's navigating that.

And so he's he's either sped up or he's too slow down, if that makes sense. And when I say he's too slow down, is he's doing there's times when he's doing what you're saying, when he's going through one, two, three, four five reason and by the time he decides to go run, which he's not really doing anymore.

And that's a whole other conversation, the.

Guys are chasing the backside already or they're on his hips. So it's like you're one correct about him locking on different receivers right now. But I don't believe he has time. He did there were some clean pockets of time last night. Though, but I don't believe that he trusts his time. I don't believe he.

Trusts His mechanics are poor right now some of that.

And Dak is huge on his mechanics. I know how much he's worked on that through his career. The mechanics aren't good right now. He's not stepping up in the pocket. He's not even comfortable stepping up in the pockets. It's a lot of this is offensive line as well. And to your point, like when you go look at the routes downfield, a lot of them are three man routes because they're having some max protech, which means they're having tight ends or running backs that are no longer receiving options.

That have to block so they can get plays off.

But when you have a secondary drop in six and seven and coverage, they have the advantage.

So the picks and the no separation and all this.

Stuff, duh, Like that's what's gonna happen because in him being sped up is what's going to happen. Him pressing is what's going to happen. So this is your one hundred percent correct. A lot of this is the protection not being as good and don't get it twisted. It wasn't just the tackles Tyler Smith struggled, which was just what's going on.

Everybody was in exact game.

It was quite honestly, Cooper Beebe might have been your best offensive lineman last night as a whole.

And that's insane.

So protection you are one hundercent, right, but protection, it's just it's killing this offense right now because you're so limited.

Yeah, because you.

Have to protect.

I agree with both of y'all, but I also I truly believe that that was a catch that Cavante Turpin should have still made it the end of the day, because you talk about the issues that this team has had all season long of trying to establish another star explosive, explosive and without Bringdon Cooks.

I mean, he's supposed to.

Be that guy, and that was his opportunity to show like, hey, I can be trusted, I can step up big when needed, and he didn't, which is unfortunate, Like no nonsense.

Jesse talked to us about it on the other podcast I'm on, and he told me that the level of difficulty to make that with with tracking it and don't get it was a beautiful body. You can't place it any better than what that did. I agree with you, like, I'm like, yeah, you called it, but the level of difficulty was through the roof too, So it's just like, come on, it just wasn't.

It wasn't the best. It wasn't the most advantageous.

Play problem in that moment. To me, that shouldn't have been the defining game, the shooting factor of the game, because you had a whole third quarter to get ahead and not rely on that to win back.

What you gots. We gotta take our first break.

We're gonna come back with more run game discussions because that.

Was almost nonexistent yesterday as well. We'll be right back with more Girls.

That was good.

That's one of your better ones day.

Not that I'm just saying you have like your top tier ones and then like your middle tier ones and even ones that you're like.

I just don't have anything else. I'm just gonna say you be like, yeah.

Right, all right, thanks appreciate this run game, ladies, ladies, ladies. The Cowboys running back room combined for almost the same amount of rushing yards that Rock Party rushed for. Uh, And obviously we needed this running back room to take a step forward against this forty nine ers team. They elevated Dalvin Cook hopefully uh to be somewhat of a change of doing that.

Then.

Of course, right before the game, Rico Dalla, we're just talking about this Rico Dowdell uh sick and having to be inactive for the game.

So I'm not gonna lie.

I was kind of looking forward to that one two punch of how him and Dalvin Cook would be, uh sprinkling a little Zeke, but I mean you saw Zeke have a rushing touchdown. But just talk about this run game and y'all's thoughts.

On, well, just six carries for Dalvin Cook, Yeah, so in twelve yards, so two yards to carry.

Bad.

But we didn't really get a good sample size because they couldn't really get anything going in fifty six rushing yards total, not just the running backs, but throw Turpin and Dak in there as well, and it's just not going to cut it. You're last in the league entering the game averaging seventy seven yards and you can't even reach that. You're twenty one away from that. So yeah,

Are we shocked? It's the same thing, well, same thing, same conversation. Just take what I said last week or a week before about the run game and just reposted on here because it's the same thing. And that's why

Could be a big part of it.

Like your point, to your point, Aisha is it's creating just such a one dimensional offense that you can't even have running backs run the ball because you're so worried about protection of your quarterbacks.

So I'm not shocked, guys.

In fact, I'll be shocked when I can actually talk about a running game being established, because it just seems so repetitive to just not have it going at this point, and I really hate that for this team.

Yeah, I mean, now you said it, sister, I mean, you can't run about on the red zone this problem. I just I just feel like, Oh, as far as Darvin Cook, though, like watching him a little bit, I did see from him he does have a little acceleration still, you still see a little pop in his game that I think could be beneficial.

And I was looking forward to seeing him and Rico because.

Even though at this point, again it's not gonna it's not gonna change. So these are the two guys that display the most explosiveness to this point. So it's like, I do think them together could wear down a defense if done correctly.

But the problem is, and again I don't know.

If this is I don't know if this is scheme. I don't know if this is coaching. This offensive line is playing poorly. They have been playing poorly like this for a while. This is this, This is not the first year. Last year we were talking about a very similar thing. It's just that what I believe is that team still respected the threat of Tony Pollard.

Yeah, I think.

They still were like, yeah, I know he's still not one percent yet, but I think that he.

Can get after it. You don't have a Tony Pollard right.

Now, so there is none.

Of that, I mean, or even getting to the second level to get in the open space to make them.

And so from an offensive life standpoint as well, like you seeing Zach Martin fumble of himself, you seeing Tyler Smith fumbling over himself. You're seeing like and when you to me, here's my thing, And this is no different than like, if you're a teacher, if my best best, my best students are failing the test, we might need to find out, like what the disconnect is because your best offensive linemen are struggling and there's some compensating and

Still was better last year.

Yeah, So to me, to your point about the run game, it's like it's not working for several reasons, and I think we're gonna find out more so why the protection stuff too, But it's the lack of run game is killing this team is killing the quarterback. And you had three minutes left and you could not And let me also say this, sand Fran's run defense is not that great anymore.

They are mid tier, they have.

Been mid tier since last year, and you still just could not move the ball. And to your point, in the third quarter, I felt like they maybe saw that they thought they could pass the ball more. At that point sand Frian had adjusted to what they had been doing. Then that's a whole another conversation.

So it's like.

If you can't run the ball, man, like you're screwed, dude, Like I'm sorry, Like this is this is just where we are.

So let me ask you something.

How serious do you feel like they are in figuring out.

The issues in this run game.

Of course they're serious. About figuring it out.

I don't know how serious.

Seriously, I don't know how serious because you had similar issues last year, yet you you were starting back to the same people now you've drafted. And even so, like Tyler Geydon again one of his better games. He's never been a run blocking tackle. He would that what he was in his game out of college has did. He show some things in preseason like okay, I see some nasty and you big dog.

I see you can get out in space. I can see you.

But so much about the run game and getting to the second level is hand placements and latch.

He struggles with that.

So it's like, as then he lets go too soon.

He can't. He's strugg I think he has good grip strength. I've seen his grip strength. He can do some tiring stuff with his grip strength.

But it's like finding a man not holding, latching and driving him out to play. He struck with the contact on contact finding a man. Cooper Beebie gets to the second level. Tyler Smith can get to the second level. Terrence Steele has the ability to get to the second level. He's not as clean. Zach Martin still can still not as clean. But like god man, like you, guys cannot do any they have. They have not been able to get to the second level as an offensive line for

It should not be this difficult to run a dive.

Yep, dude, I'm gonna. I'm gonna play neutral white flag over here. No, no, no, no, it needs to be said. And here's the thing. I freaking hope they're taking it serious.

It's their job.

Like here at the point at the end of they're taking it all. Y'all are on one year contracts.

So if you're not.

Taking it serious, see ya, But then you're not gonna be here in ten weeks having these.

Because if it were easy, it would have been done already.

Well, I'm not gonna I'm not faulting the players for this. I'm not gonna sit here and say you have the wrong personnel.

We don't know.

You don't actually know what this run game can look like because your play caller doesn't like play up to the running backs that you have that are your strongest ones. You barely establish Rico's you're starting running backs. You're a little late on that, buddy, Like I wanted to hear that in training camp. That's how far far behind you are.

Thank you in establishing this.

And so for me, man, I'm almost cussed like four times here because this really upsets me. And I'm not Chris, I got you. I'm not gonna cuss, but it upsets me because here you're talking about how serious are they're taking it. I'm not faulting the personnel for this. I'm not faulting Rico. I'm not faulting Dalvin, I'm not faulting Deuce.

Hunter, Zeke.

They are doing what they are being told to do. And for me, to your point, if a teacher's best students are failing, who is the teacher in this?

Is it?

Mike McCarthy is running your running running back, coach, your offensive line? Who do you put the fault on?

Here for me.

Look, Mike, I'm sorry, Like, I just don't feel like there has been enough self reflection to understand that your play calling is not favoring a part of this offense that it really needs to protection aside offensive line struggles, aside. You need to run the ball, figure it out, call the plays, get them comfortable with it, because how are they supposed to get better in their run blocking if you're not doing it. Like I hope they're taking it serious, but to me, I don't think it's a matter of

So it feels you want to run the ball about forty five percent of the time, McCarthy has told us sad. But when you're averaging less than three yards to carry and you fall behind the sticks and get get yourself in second and third and long situations, then we scream about that. So, yeah, goat are they executing.

The run game?

Obviously not. Would McCarthy love to call run plays. Yes, it's your quarterback better when he has a run game and can hand the ball off, of course. Yeah, but you have to execute.

It and yeah, and that's that's the good person say. It's notice the execution is just not there. I'm over it all right.

Well, on that note, we're gonna take our second break.

Facing it.

No, No, I know we have to wrap things up, ladies.

We didn't get a chance to talk defense at I'll will leave that for tomorrow. But just one thing moving forward that you want to see out of this team heading into Sunday.

I know there's a week to prepare, but one thing.

I know there's plenty, but you got to just choose one one thing that this team needs to focus on this week in order to just write the ship.

They've been focusing on it takeaways and they haven't gotten results. I'll give an example. Demarian Overshown was one of the few players who spoke in the locker room after the game, and he talked about the need for takeaways, and he specifically spoke to his sack late in the fourth quarter, which forced the punt and gave the Cowboys offensive chance,

You know, I would say run game, but well, I'm just I'm gonna drop that because that's not Yeah, anyways, I'm gonna say there's no point in dwelling on it is not.

I'm gonna say.

Less chunk plays from opposing offenses because that defined.

Your game once again.

Is allowing chunk passes, big runs to fine how this forty nine ers team was able to come back and beat you and ended up being kind of one of your boogeymen once again, is allowing these chunk plays.

It's been kind of an.

Over a pattern over the last few weeks. So I really want the defense to gain their confidence back and allowing themselves to create big plays themselves and not allow it to be happening to that moment over again.

Yeah, agreed, Uh, I thought that Mike Zimmer came out and tried to do some things, tried to find some ways to try to get this defense going and worked.

San France called on figured it out how to counter it.

They're very pigeon held by their lack of pass rush, trade deadline wind that's next week.

Next week is next Tuesday.

As a matter of f so guess what this is the week we're still best starting getting move people, getting phone.

Pick up the phone.

Like the Chiefs literally traded for Josh today from the Patriots, adding to fantastic.

Still the team that they are.

Their defense is one of the best in the league. They were able to get this gentleman who's a legitimate speed rusher for sixth rounder.

Here's what I'll say, keep expectations a low and you don't get disappointed, babes. No.

I mean, what I'm saying is is like your lack of pass rush is killing your defense.

It's it's hurting more to me.

It's hurting worse than you not being able to stop the run right now, you cannot apply pressure. Brock Perty was back there chilling, he was hanging out.

He had too much time.

So the point where he's.

Like where he's messing up.

Listen, I would hope that maybe they would see if Michael depends on what Michael's timetable is.

If they want to go try to win all.

The rest of their divisional games and make a run, they need to get another and they need to get another speed rusher.

So that's me trade deadline.

I agree with all of y'all, but I'm also going to add I want Dak to be more assertive as far as just be more commanding at the line of scrimmage. We saw rock party just even though he did have a little bit more time, so we can't really dock him for that.

A lot of it, a lot of it.

But he also made plays on his own, extended drives on his own, and that's something that I feel like has been missing from this offense. So as long as I can see a little bit more of that from Dak, I think that at least it'll take somewhat of the next step.

I don't know if that's gonna.

Help you, certainly a step in the right direction.

We can ask for this point more to break.

Down over the next couple of days. Tomorrow we'll be breaking down the defense. What went wrong, what went right? A little bit of what went right in Mike zimmer Ah and the rest of this Dallas Cowboys defense. But Raisha Morrison, Just Navarees, Christie Scales, Nicole Hutchinson.

We will see y'all back here tomorrow.
