00:00Babe, Lauffenburg joined us here on one Oh five, babe, given what we've seen the last

00:04two weeks from the Cowboys, which is them winning physical football games in like the

00:10face of a lot of adversity, whether it be with injuries or self-inflicted wounds or

00:14whatever, does that give you more confidence in Dallas's ability to handle what probably

00:20felt like an easy loss, maybe three weeks ago.

00:23And now you look at it and say, well, we've seen them actually win some of these games

00:27that are similar to what we anticipate this one being.

00:30I think so.

00:32I think it's a good point because now you you've shown that, hey, we can play a game

00:37without Micah.

00:38We can play without the law.

00:40Now, Pittsburgh's offense is pedestrian.

00:44This offense is really, really good.

00:47So it's going to be a new test for I think the biggest thing, if you're a Cowboy fan

00:51that you can take away from all this is a lot of teams, they lose players, obviously,

00:56and they're not coming back.

00:57They're out for the season.

00:58They're done.

00:59And, you know, everybody talks about, well, let's get to Thanksgiving and see where we

01:04are.

01:05But, you know, they're going to get Micah back.

01:07They're going to get D-Law back.

01:08They're going to get De'Ron Bland back, maybe this week, if not this week, he'll be there

01:12for San Francisco.

01:13So they're going to get some really good players coming back, which a lot of teams, again,

01:19you have injuries and you lose, you know, they're gone for the season.

01:23Pittsburgh's lost three offensive linemen for the season.

01:26So I think this team is actually going to look a lot different in whatever it's going

01:30to be four, six, eight weeks than it does today.

01:34But I think, yeah, to answer the short answer to your question, no question, I think that

01:37it gives them confidence that you can go to Pittsburgh, play that kind of defense, which

01:42again, I thought much like the Cleveland game, the game sort of overshadowed the offense.

01:49Now the offense racked up, Cowboys racked up a lot of yardage, but kind of the same

01:54things, the struggles in the red zone have continued.

01:58And I don't see them, you know, turning the ball over, Dak had three turnovers in that

02:03game.

02:04I don't see that happening.

02:05Obviously week in and week out, he takes care of the football.

02:07We know that.

02:09But the offense is still, I think, not where they need to be or want to be.
