Hangin' with the 'Boys: No Zeke, No Dak

The mixed crew that includes Nate Newton and Barry Church still can't believe the Cowboys didn't run the ball more and says the offseason priority has to commit more to the running game.

We all know there are changes coming to this team and this coaching staff, but why aren't we hearing more about this particular one? Just like Sisyphus pushing that rock in Greek mythology, when is this story going to end differently for Cowboys fans?

Who was at fault for that disappointing loss? Just about everybody. From coming out flat, to the penalties, to being beaten at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, to questionable play-calling, to a poor passing game, to being unable to stop the run, to …

One of the big men in the middle joins us as Carlos Watkins talks about having fun in the defensive line room, ramping up for the playoffs and trash-talking at the line of scrimmage. Plus, phone calls from Cowboy Computer and Mama Gross, and our predictions!

Cowboys legend and current FOX broadcaster Daryl "Moose" Johnston joins us to talk Cowboys vs. 49ers. It's a fascinating breakdown. Plus, Micah Parsons getting the message from DeMarcus Ware brings back memories and Will McClay signs a new deal.

Jesse slides into the driver's seat as the boys compare the Dallas offense to San Francisco's defense. Who has the advantage, Dak Prescott or Fred Warner? How about La'el Collins or Nick Bosa? It's a fun discussion and debate as to where the strengths may (or may not) lie for this team.

So what's your worry level about this game? Is this going to be a tough matchup against the 49ers? Or does Dallas have the talent to dominate? The boys are on both sides of the spectrum. Plus, starting fast, getting ahead, feeding the ball to Amari and … a Frankenstein analogy?

Nate is not having any of your negativity today. But will the Cowboys be able to match the 49ers' physicality? Plus, the window is open right now for this team, but for how long? Could it close as soon as next year? And how will practices ramp up this week? It's time to talk playoffs!

It's the last game of the regular season and we're still questioning this team and quarterback. Also, are they playing to improve this weekend? Is the coaching staff trying to adjust? Plus, a little wrestling talk, who you need and … did Jesse miss a career opportunity?

Safety Malik Hooker joins us to talk about the Cowboys secondary as well as a little basketball, moving to Texas and his athletic family. Plus, does the team need to lock it down now? And Jesse translates Amari's message for us … line by line.

We got breaking news just as the show kicks off, so the boys talk Micah Parsons headed to the Reserve Covid list and whether or not these players should (or even could) isolate themselves. Plus, is the offensive line now average? And are fans now expecting one and done in the playoffs?

It's time to celebrate as our guy Nate was named to the Black College Football Hall of Fame! Plus, Nate tells us what he was up to yesterday before asking (or perhaps demanding!) that the Cowboys offense gets Amari Cooper more involved. Get the ball in his hands. Please!

The Cowboys didn't seem to know what to do against the Cardinals defense in a disappointing loss. What happened to Dak? Where was Cooper? How about the coaches? And you can't blame the refs when you put it in their hands, right? Let's break it all down.

How fitting that the final show of 2021 is definite chaos. Should have known, right? The boys do manage to talk about what a victory over Arizona might mean, how this team stacks up against other contenders and who we'd least like to face in the playoffs. Happy New Year!

Our man Nate shares stories and memories about the great John Madden. Then, is Dan Quinn and Kellen Moore's interest from other teams going to affect the Cowboys now? Plus, Mike McCarthy's trust in his players and we even throw in a little Cardinals talk.

It's time to take a look at the playoff picture and what's ahead for this team. And how about the Cowboys' roster management this year? Would you now start Tyron Smith against Arizona? How much would you play him? Plus, building confidence and the fun of the bet.

It's Victory Monday and, man, is there plenty to talk about. Amari opened up the passing game, Zeke ran with authority, and don't look now but Dak is back! Plus, Diggs taking on the challenge, the defensive line rotation and Quinn's schemes. Hey, we might even talk a little special teams!

Should the Cowboys run a more conservative, vanilla offense to get Dak back on track? Or to save something for the playoffs? What's it going to take to gain back some confidence? A blowout over Washington? The boys talk facing their rivals again, Pro Bowl predictions and more!

We're just not getting the same play from our quarterback and nobody knows for sure why. Is he hurt? Is it mental? Are the coaches doing enough to get him right? Are they calling a collection of plays or an actual scheme? Plus, can the defense carry them to the Promised Land?

Not only is it Victory Monday, but Jesse is back and it's Nate's birthday! The boys dig into the win over the Giants, including the dominance of the defense, Micah Parson's presence and the return of Connor Williams. And if this offense ever gets rolling, watch out!

We've got Joe Looney with us, Audrey from the social team is here, Computer drops by, Mama Gross has her predictions and the fans call in. It's a crazy scene as we talk the offensive line's mentality, finding an identity, getting Dak right, favorite songs and more!

It's an offensive line clinic as Joe Looney joins the boys. He and Nate do a serious breakdown of blocking schemes in the run game and discuss life in the trenches. Plus, Joe shares some funny stories from his Cowboys days and catches us up on how his career ended with the Giants.

The boys are back and taking a look at who they'd want to meet in the upcoming playoffs. Plus, teams aren't respecting the running game and instead are trying to slow down Dak. (It's working!) How can he and the receivers counteract that? And more changes on the line?

Special teams ace CJ Goodwin jumps on to talk about his road to the NFL and what it's like working in the chaos. Plus, Nate is fired up about this offense and what needs to be done. Would a few signature plays help get Dak and company back on track?

Nick and Kyle join the show to celebrate another Victory Monday! The boys discuss the return of Gregory and Gallimore, the other-worldly impact of Parsons and how the defense dominated in the win over rival Washington. But about that offense…
