Will Ezekiel Elliott rejoin the Cowboys in time for the Sept. 8 season opener against the New York Giants?

The Cowboys' preseason is over, and they'll start cutting their roster on Friday. They have until Saturday afternoon to trim the team to 53 players.

 I've never liked the term "meaningless" when talking about a football game, even the fourth preseason one when just a handful of players – if that – are going to be around after this weekend. 

The regular season is finally in sight, as the Cowboys' youngsters wrapped up the 2019 preseason in a 17-15 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday night. 

While Thursday's game might be meaningless to some on the roster, these final four quarters of the preseason could make or break the careers of others. Here are some players to watch on both sides of the ball tonight.

I am SO amped to see how this season unfolds, beginning with training camp. In your minds, where does this team stack up (so far) with the 2023 team at this same point. Barring injuries, it doesn't seem like the Cowboys are far off, and that 2023 team was doing well (undefeated at home) until the end. Thoughts?

I've always categorized offensive linemen as either "road graders" (great for the run game) or "dancing bears" (better for pass protection). What kind of line do we have in your opinion? I feel like the identity of the offensive line should dictate what kind of offense you have. Curious if you think this line is built better for the run or the pass.

In light of the situation with Chargers' second-round pick Tre Harris planning to hold out from training camp, do we have a similar situation looming with our unsigned second-round rookie, defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku? How detrimental would that be to both Ezeiruaku's development and the Cowboys' defensive plans? 

Having read the articles dealing with the projected running back competition, why is Hunter Luepke being overlooked? It seems for what Brian Schottenheimer is trying to promote, Luepke fits the bill – blocking back, short-yardage threat, out-of-the-backfield receiver and a backup at the tight end position. Despite limited opportunities, he has proven he is an asset.

I was just talking with a friend about how this team needs more "dogs." You know, those players like Michael Irvin who are wired differently. Obviously, though, we can't see all the dynamics of the locker room, practice field, cafeteria, etc., so who do you see as the new top dogs on this team?

Given Jaydon Blue's elite speed, pass catching ability and illusiveness, do you see the Cowboys potentially bulking him up to make him more of an every-down running back? Or will he always be looked at as a change-of-pace guy? The Cowboys have had 5'9" backs before (Emmitt Smith), but they were considerably thicker.

It's now obvious that waiting to re-sign top players is the modus operandi for the Cowboys. We've seen it with CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott, Zack Martin, Ezekiel Elliott and now with Micah Parsons. But why? Parsons seems eager to sign. And in the end, these players get what they want anyway, and everyone seems happy. Is there any kind of advantage to dragging the process out? 

It seems to me that Dak Prescott struggles a bit when throwing the deep ball. I rarely remember him hitting someone in stride as they streak down the field. I feel like the majority of his deep throws (40 yards or more) either fall short, or the receiver has to make an acrobatic catch. What is your take on that?

Let's have a little fun on this holiday. If you were commissioner Roger Goodell and you were looking to expand the NFL, what cities do you believe would be the best fits for future franchises and why? This has been a topic of conversation within my family for many years, specifically after the relocation of the Rams and Chargers to Los Angeles. 

There was big news with Micah Parsons taking part in the minicamp. Was it all part of the contract negotiations? Or does he want to step right in as the team's leader? Trevon Diggs also was on hand, but is he making a mistake by not rehabbing with the team's trainers? Plus, do the Cowboys still need to add players, especially on defense? It's our last show before training camp. Come hang with us!

The final show of the offseason sparked a little debate on what kind of offense this will be. Are they gonna be a running team, a passing team or does it matter at all?

The girls break down minicamp matchups to look out for, how the Cowboys culture continues to grow, what players could make minicamp headlines and more.

The boys do a good job of wrapping things up on the final Mick Shots of the offseason, preparing for the three-day minicamp starting on Tuesday, anticipating the arrivals of Micah Parsons and Travon Diggs, then drift into the cornerback position, a deep dive into Jaiir Elam, Michael Irvin's impression on practice and what to look for at the start of training camp that's six weeks away.

Brian Schottenheimer is bringing plenty of enthusiasm, but do the players really like that? Will it translate into wins? Plus, the head coach said the best five offensive linemen are going to play. Was he talking about all those big guys, or maybe just one in particular? And what do Dirk Nowitzki, Jon Bon Jovi and Tiger Woods have in common? Tune in for the meat and potatoes.
