 With the injuries on this roster, the quick turnaround, what's the bigger challenge, trying to figure out who's healthy enough to play Thursday and who needs maybe a few extra days to be ready for anything? Well, I think that those are things that we have to take into consideration. We know the health of the football team and how many guys we realistically think can be back on a short week. We had some injuries going into the game last week, some guys that weren't able to make it. Again, I'm confident that they're all working extremely hard to get back. It's just this time of year. We need everybody that we can get, and then we'll monitor the injuries coming out of the game and see how guys feel and try to make a best decision for the team. How important do we still try to figure out a way to win and not expect to flip a switch against the Jacks? I mean, I think every time you show up to work, you're trying to find ways to win. Prepare to win mentally, physically. I think at this point in time of the year, there's only so much that you can do to really improve physically. I don't think anybody's getting any faster. Anybody's getting any stronger at this stage of the game where we're at in the season. But how can we improve mentally? How can we understand? How can we communicate better? So I think that every time we come to work, we're trying to win, especially when we go out on the field. It could be a case-by-case basis. But what is the balance in trying to figure out maybe who needs a rest, who needs to play, to go into that final game with momentum? Well, I think we'll have to prepare this week and then see where guys are on Wednesday and even Thursday before we ultimately make a decision and see who you feel like could have a setback or who could need some time. I think that there's some things we'll have to look at. You've always had confidence level that in a close situation, they're going to find a way to win. You feel like that confidence is still there? I mean, I think we have to continue to practice. And I think you have to do those things. We just have had some close games where we weren't able to pull it out for many different reasons that we found ourselves in those situations. We have executed some situations well, just not enough of them. And unfortunately, we've put ourselves into those situations where they're almost, I'd say, impossible to overcome. As a starter role, I shifted to Malik. How has he been just from a leadership perspective and even just being someone like a catalyst for the vibe to be right? I thought it was good last week. I thought he was into it. I thought he controlled the operation and practice and everything else that we were doing in the meetings and on the field and then ultimately up into the game. But the leadership and everything, that's whether it's Malik or anybody else. We've always tried to say that there's no restrictions on leadership. We just asked everybody to know what to do and go out and play a certain way and prepare a certain way. And when you do that, you're more than welcome to lead anybody you want. What takes Dallas to move like a person's around? How difficult does that make him to prepare for? I mean, just an extremely talented player, gifted player physically, but also instincts. And I know that he works extremely hard. I just, it's a rare talent to be able to play inside linebacker in college, where he made almost every tackle. And then transition to this league and be an edge rusher and the skill set that he has, whether he's rushing and playing a run. He's got a very good knack for his body control, reacting to blockers set, whether they over set, under set, using his speed. So they move him everywhere and he'll be, obviously, a huge challenge. Is it realistic to block him with one guy? I don't know if that's realistic right now. I mean, I think we'll have to have all hands on deck. We'll certainly have to have to stay inside out, we'll have to be firm in the middle of the pocket. But if he gets inside, I think the play will be over. Quarterback will be on the move quickly. You think you're reshaped off at the line then, I guess, more specifically Levin and Roos inside? I thought they played extremely hard. I think you saw Roos finishing. Up until the end, I think, where it became a drop-back pass game, he lost to Malik Collins a few times, which there's a lot of people that would lose to Malik Collins. But I thought throughout the course of the game, he was competitive. I tried to finish as good on his assignments. Corey had a few operational issues that we'd like to have back and going to make sure that we need to get corrected for Thursday. And then even Levin went in at right tackle and did a nice job and held up in there for us. You guys need him the way that you have so far? Yeah, I mean, he's learned a lot of positions. He knows all the linebacker positions, play outside. He's done a really good job on a kickoff return. I think he's really done a nice job there. We just could use some other guys to get that memo as well. But Gibby's been great to have around. What happened on the play where Chig and Dailey didn't really move? I think that would be one of those operational issues. Probably not expecting the ball to be snapped when it was. However, that's no excuse. We all know that when the ball snapped, we're going to have to play whether that's on defense or offense. And I would say, as you're writing Chig and Dailey down, you could include about eight other guys other than the center and quarterback who didn't do much. But we'd like to not have that snapped when we did. But there's going to be mistakes along the way. We have to just continue to play. After seeing the field, what are the areas where the league absolutely has to be better to give you a chance to win this week or the other? Well, I think this overall just comfort level, being quicker with progression is not holding on, not waiting things out, knowing that you don't have all day, being good operationally. I thought he made some good decisions, some really good decisions to pull, when to give it, extend. I thought when he was decisive, I was able to get to some guys. Unfortunately, Chig put the one on the ground and dropped it. But he got to Bobby and got to Nick on third and long and was able to get to Woods and in his own. So there were some things there that were good. But then obviously, I just want to continue to progress. When you talk about the running backs for the Cowboys, two great guys, obviously. Zeke a little bit and Pollard has just emerged as well. Like, what makes them so difficult as a tandem? Well, I think Zeke is a natural runner. I mean, he runs behind his pads. He's got great balance, physical. And I think Tony has just gotten better, just coming in as a change of pace back. But I mean, he runs their entire offense. And it was real difficult out of the backfield with the ball in his hands, whether that be speed or his ability. I mean, they put him behind the quarterback and he stretches and cuts or any of the other scheme plays that they'd have for him. It's a great compliment. So we'll have to know which backs in the game. And obviously, try to do a great job of defending the run. Well, I mean, I think they've been together for most of the season. I know they had some moving parts since the beginning. But Smith's the guy that's been in there. Martin's been in there. And Tyler's been in there. So they're building some comfort level there. They do everything that you'd ask to do. They get the guys covered up. They stay inside out. They finish. They move the line of scrimmage on their gap scheme stuff. And they get out on their landmarks in the zone run scheme and try to give the running backs different options, whether it's to stay frontside or they do a nice job on the backside of where they can stretch and cut. In his first game back, and how well did he hold up? I think he obviously impacted the game at some points in time, was productive. As far as how he held up, we'll see kind of having done a whole lot since the game. So we'll see how he feels today and continue to monitor him and try to get him as ready as we can to play. Defensively, when you look at third and fourth down, you guys have had success on third down, not as much on fourth. What is kind of happening just from one down to another to have that much of a difference? I don't know if there's any one thing. I hope there's not like a let up. We try to preach to the guys that there's obviously parts of the game or parts of the field where four down is going to be something that's going to be a part of the operation. When it's third and seven, and on the 38, I probably have to defend two downs most likely. I got a big four down stop the other day, coming out a half, I think, right? So I wish we could have turned that into points. But I don't know. We've done a nice job on third down, and then some of the fourth down stuff haven't been as good. When you talk eight to four, eight to four, 30 guys on Saturday, we talking to some specific guys or were you talking kind of thematically about everybody giving them? Yeah, I mean, I think that I guess I just have to be more careful with how I choose my words. I just was trying to say that we all need to say less and just try to start doing more right now and just studying more, communicating more, asking more questions, coaching better, explaining, teaching better so that players can come back with questions and say, hey, I saw this. How would we play that? I wasn't, I'm not spreading a message to the media that I haven't said to the players at any point in time. That's not how I want to coach. So that's all that was. That was just explaining it. And I think, again, building off that, how much better can we get physically at this point in the season? Where can we try to find an edge to help us win? With the ability to still possibly bring up one guy from IR, have you seen any progress from David Long or Kyle Phillips? I would say that neither of those two would be an option this week, Kayla. Brian's still out of 53. An indication that he's still got a shot? I would say that that's an indication that he's doing everything he possibly can to get back and help this team at some point. Given that your situation has crystallized a little bit about what you have to do in week 18 and what it could ultimately mean from everything you've gone through, what's your message to the team as they start this week? Say less and do more. I just told you what the message was. Prepare to win. Prepare to win this week. Worked the game plan today. Worked the game plan on first and second down, third down tomorrow. Great opportunity for a lot of guys that continue to play for us. Look at Jordan Roos or Corey Levin or Jack Gibbons or anybody else that's had an opportunity because somebody isn't here for whatever reason. And some of those guys continue to try to take advantage of the opportunity and then we'll just keep having to find guys that want to do that.
