Hangin' With The 'Boys

The Cowboys are coming off a big win, but it’s not getting any easier. In fact, they have yet to play a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes this season, a guy who only seems to care about winning or losing, not about stats. Is that a rarity in today’s NFL? Also, can Dak Prescott handle the Chiefs blitz? He’s been great against it so far this season. Plus, Jesse’s key stat and our predictions. Happy Thanksgiving!

With the big trades made this year, and Jerry Jones saying George Pickens will be back in 2026, are the Cowboys finally going to go all-in? Or will it be business as usual? Also, everyone knows CeeDee Lamb is still the man, but does he know it? Plus, fingers, knees and, um, other places, Nate and Jesse talk injuries.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has talked about changing the team’s culture. Does the big come-from-behind win over Philly help with that, or do the Cowboys have to take the next two as well to really make things different? Plus, the exceptional play of the defense, what’s going on at wide receiver and Dak Prescott’s mastery in the pocket. It’s Victory Monday!

So was last week a defensive mirage? Or is this unit really as good as we think it is? It’s safe to say things are headed in the right direction, but will the Cowboys show up in the pivotal moments? And can they stop Saquon Barkley both on the ground and in the passing game? Plus, Jesse’s stat, key players to watch and predictions!

The Eagles have a good record, but are they really that good? With their troubles on offense and the Cowboys improved defense, could Philly be ripe for the picking? And with more push coming from the middle of the defensive line will Dallas be able to contain Jalen Hurts? It’s time to find out how good this Cowboys defense really is.

So Jalen Carter will be playing in this game. Just how big of an impact does he have on the Philly defensive front? Like Quinnen Williams, he makes everyone better. And after spit-gate in Week 1, could that ramp up the rivalry another notch? Plus, many are asking if George Pickens has become the No. 1 receiver? Not so fast. Don’t let the numbers fool you.

Can one man change an entire defense? In the case of Quinnen Williams, it sure seemed like it. Along with several players returning from injury, the Cowboys defensive unit put on a show against the Raiders. Plus, was not starting CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens any big deal? Regardless, it was a perfect tune-up game in Las Vegas. Let’s discuss!

Nate and Jesse dig into the mental intricacies of the game and how players are constantly evaluating their performance, even between snaps. Everybody is fast, everybody is strong, so intelligence and situational football is often the difference. Also, will the Cowboys be re-energized after a tough bye week? Plus, Jesse’s stat, key players and predictions.

With all these stud defensive tackles on the roster now, there’s been talk about playing some 5-2 alignments on defense. So, should they switch to a 3-4 base to get those guys on the field? Also, how much can we expect from both the new guys and those coming back from injury? Is the defense overall going to look vastly different?

So are the Raiders really as bad as their record? If not, why are they losing? They’ve got Maxx Crosby, after all. What do the Cowboys have to do to negate him? And will having the game Monday night with an extra day to prepare help much? Plus, after playing themselves and knowing the intricacies of football so well, Nate and Jesse explain what it’s like for them watching games live.
