Hangin' With The 'Boys

When are the Cowboys going to win one of these good games? When will doubt stop creeping in? Can the switch be flipped? Because if you’re not learning through winning, you won’t learn through losing. Plus, Nate and Jesse look back at their own careers and share who their mentors were, the teammates who really helped them become NFL players (and their answers might surprise you).

The small things matter. Like challenging the placement of the ball, kicking it out of bounds, dropping passes, getting slapped with penalties and on and on. Dak Prescott played championship level football and the defense largely held the Eagles in check, but in the end, they couldn’t get the job done. Why in the biggest games, do the Cowboys always seem to come up short?

Speed is always good when it’s going in the right direction, and the Cowboys have plenty of it. But what does that mean, and how do they use it to attack the Eagles’ potent offense? Can they use the stunt to get Micah Parsons one-on-one battles in the pass rush? Plus, A.J. Brown will be the toughest receiver they’ve faced, but is it the run game that really needs to be shut down?

Their secondary can be beat, how does the Cowboys offensive line keep Philadelphia’s vaunted defensive front in check? And how do they prepare to do so not knowing if Tyron Smith will play? Plus, how about a ground game? It may be more important than ever to at least make them think you might run. And that goes for Dak Prescott too. It’s time to grab and go.

We’re feeling a little spooked on this Halloween. The trade deadline is upon us and moves are being made around the league (much to Nate’s dismay). So should the Cowboys be wheeling and dealing as well? They’re contenders, aren’t they? Their window is open now. Why not? Plus, there’s a big game ahead. What’s it like in the locker room this week? It’s all in the details, crossing those i’s and dotting those t’s.

The Cowboys took care of business in a big way on Sunday, dominating the Rams on both sides of the ball. But what did we see different about the offense? Getting Lamb more involved? Finally using more of the vertical game? And on defense, DaRon Bland’s position flexibility is paying off big-time while DeMarcus Lawrence continues to fly under the radar as one of the best in the NFL.

It’s a fun Friday with fan phone calls as Nick steps in for an ailing Kurt. So will we see any adjustments to the offense coming out the bye week? Should we? Who’s set to have a big game come Sunday? And we’ve got Jesse and Nate sharing thoughts on DeMarcus Ware going into the Ring of Honor and who some of their favorite teammates were, plus predictions and more!

The Rams receivers are not particularly fast, so how do they get open so often? How is Matthew Stafford leading the league in yards thrown before catch when they rely on a quick passing game? It’s all about the route running. So how do the Cowboys defend that? And is now the time when the coaches really need to coach? The film is out. Are adjustments coming? Should they be?

Here comes that man again, Aaron Donald. How do the Cowboys keep him from disrupting their plans? The Rams secondary, however, can be attacked … if the wide receivers can beat their press coverage, which is something they’ve struggled to do this season. And is Dallas’ short passing offense one of the reasons the running game is struggling? Time to break it down.
