Hangin' With The 'boys

Nate Newton, Shannon, and Kyle Youmans discuss the latest Dallas Cowboys news & more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who is the weak link of Philadelphia’s offense? Well, it just might be the quarterback … if he plays. So if he does, how can the Cowboys limit Jalen Hurts’ effectiveness when he’s surrounded by a top offensive line and so many weapons? Defensively, the Eagles’ strength is also on the line of scrimmage. Can Dallas figure out how to slow down to of the games’ best defensive tackles, Jalen Carter and Milton Williams?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rookie Marist Liufau was one of the players wearing the green dot last Sunday. What exactly does that mean? Is there more to it than just calling out plays? And what are some of the games being played between the offense and defense, the checks and rechecks, especially along the line of scrimmage. Plus, talking trash, fighting tough, playing hard … also known as life in the NFL. Merry Christmas!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite being eliminated from the playoffs earlier in the day, the Cowboys played inspired football in Sunday night’s win. Did they just have nothing to lose? Were they playing for pride? For McCarthy? For stats? Plus, CeeDee Lamb continues to shine, Brandon Aubrey is setting records and the defense just keeps getting better and better. Let’s celebrate a holiday version of Victory Monday!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shannon, Nate, and Jesse discuss early birthdays, sub sandwiches, potential headaches and giving a run down for this weekend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cowboys have been beating up on some bad teams, but what do you do when the opponent’s talent is equal or better? Well, we’re going to find out this week against Tampa Bay, especially in the run game. Can Rico Dowdle keep his string of 100-yard efforts going? Plus, could the reason why they aren’t playing Trey Lance be because they can better evaluate other young players with Cooper Rush at quarterback?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guys obviously aren’t quitting on the season, but maybe they’re playing for their own future contracts. Is it selfish? Then again, football is all about one-on-one battles. Also, should the Cowboys look to construct their roster differently next year to ensure more depth? And this team has had a number of undrafted free agents see action this year. Is that good? Yes. Is it bad? Well …See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cowboys got a nice win over the Panthers with CeeDee Lamb setting records, the defense dominating at times and Rico Dowdle continuing to chew up yards. Has the running game perked up because of the offensive line? If it’s time for young players to get more of a look, should Tyler Guyton be playing? And is Osa Odighizuwa one of the best defensive tackles in the game now? Plus, Nate shares stories (and plans?) about him and Deion Sanders.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re just hanging out, eating wings and having a little flavor fun on this Friday. But will the Cowboys be ready for the Panthers come Sunday? Will having a short week hurt them any? How does it make a difference? Plus, Nate and Jesse share stories of playing with and watching some of the best there ever was… including stepping on the court with Michael Jordan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shannon, Nate, and Jesse discuss injuries, CeeDee Lamb stats, and previewing Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He was just trying to make a play … and it cost them. Our own special teams ace, Jesse, does a great job of deconstructing what happened on the blocked punt and the ensuing recovery by the Bengals. Plus, when it came down to “Who’s going to make the play?” Cincinnati turned to Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. Why didn’t the Cowboys turn to Rico Dowdle?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We always hear talk about starting the best five players on the offensive line, but is that realistic? Or do different sides of the line require different skills? Hey, let’s ask our resident ex-lineman about it. Plus, if Trevon Diggs can’t go, would it be better to move Jourdan Lewis outside or keep him at slot corner? Could be a wild one come Monday night. Time to get ready!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is the best quarterback in the NFL coming to town on Monday night? Our man Nate is a believer. So how can the Cowboys stop Joe Burrow? And what about those two receivers, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins? How do the Cowboy also stop them? Jesse breaks it down for us. Plus, Zack Martin is gone (for good?) and Mazi is improving (and here’s where).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dak Prescott had some words of support for his head coach, but should players have input on personnel moves and such? What our two ex-players have to say might surprise you. Also, what if CeeDee Lamb is unable to go on Monday night. Does one player step up or do they spread the wealth? If so, to who? And has Luke Schoonmaker turned a corner … now?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

… Then Zack Martin plays. But what about Brock Hoffman? Sorry, young fella, the future Hall of Famer is in the lineup. Also, does one year’s success or failure carry over into the next year? Will winning now benefit the 2025 season? And how much does having this mini-bye week help? Tremendously, says our guys who are, you know, ex-players. Here what they have to say!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are the Cowboys beating lesser opponents? Maybe, but who cares? Playing winning football is contagious, and they’re building confidence. Also, how impactful has Micah Parsons been since his return? Huge. Not only is he getting it done, but he’s making those around him better. And do the Cowboys need to get KaVontae Turpin more involved on offense? Or has he found his role?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nate and Jesse give us some great behind-the-scenes stories about trash-talking and who among their teammates were some of the best. Want more stories? Do players sometimes give away what’s coming? You bet they do. Plus, let’s break down the Giants a little. If defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is so good, why is their run defense so bad? And watch out for Malik Nabers. Let’s eat!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Given the Cowboy are set to face the Giants in AT&T Stadium on Thursday, are there more distractions when they’re playing at home? You bet there is. But how can they avoid them? Can they avoid them? Plus, if the Cowboys can go on a run to finish the season, could Mike McCarthy be back? “It’s not crazy,” said the owner. And what might be next for this ever-shuffling offensive line?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Although double-digit underdogs going into the game at Washington, the Cowboys played hard and came away with a crazy win. Who were some of the young guys who stood out? Will this get them even more opportunities? Guys like Josh Butler and T.J. Bass just might deserve them. Plus, is it just us or are these games starting to get more physical? It’s a Victory Monday!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is it a big deal when the Cowboys and Commanders get together? You can bet it is in Washington. Plus, as one who used to have that job himself, Jesse breaks down fake punts and who makes the call, while Nate (you know, the six-time Pro Bowl guard) explains what he looks for in offensive linemen. It’s a little bit of everything on this Football Friday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
