Hangin' With The 'Boys: Stephen Jones Returns

On an already high-powered offense, do you need Kyle Pitts more than a defensive player? The boys debate what the Cowboys should do with the 10th pick, plus talk bargain free agents, slot corners, positions not to draft high, today's training and more!

How is a 17th game going to affect the Cowboys this year? And everybody thinks they're going defense with that 10th pick, but what if higher graded offensive player is there? Plus, the boys talk about the 2017 draft, virtual workouts and more!

The boys recap Mike McCarthy's press conference and if the defense will be upgraded with the new coaching changes and player moves. Plus, we honor National Medal of Honor Day and Jesse defends his recent bracket loss.

Do you go searching for talent or leadership in free agency? A player or a culture changer? Should they spend big or keep looking for bargains? The boys get into free agency talk, Gallup's playing time and more!

… On this show, that is. At least in our own minds. The boys get into the Dak contract and what this means for free agency spending, the team's window for success now and how it affects both Dak and his teammates.

That's the only question that needs to be asked in the Dak negotiations. What color pen is he using? The boys dig deeper into the different scenarios surrounding the franchise tag. Plus, could the lower salary cap benefit the team this year in free agency?

With the salary cap numbers coming out, the boys are wondering just how the Cowboys are going to pay Dak and still have enough money to fix the defense. It may be cold outside, but there's some heated debate going on in here.

Brady had the Bucs pulling in the right direction. Do the Cowboys have that kind of leadership? The boys talk Super Bowl, whether there should there be fewer offseason workouts and the increasing power of players in today's NFL.

Hey, there's a three-time Super Bowl winner and a guy who played with Tom Brady on this show. You want to hear what they've got to say. Plus, going all-in now, the Cowboys' problems with entitlement and a little prop bet fun.

… but it's got a whole lot of parts. Are the changes to how players are scouted going to affect the team and its ability to improve the defense? Do they need to consider going in another direction at QB? The offseason is heating up!

If he is, why hasn't a deal been done yet? Is he good enough to take this team to the playoffs? Or maybe the team wants to spend that money on defense. After all, they sure need help there. The boys break down the Dak conundrum.

Jaylon gets a lot of criticism, but he ranked 2nd in the NFL for tackles. Are we missing something? And was it more surprising that Kellen turned down Boise or that the Cowboys re-signed him? Plus, Nate and Jesse remember their exit interviews.

Some guys love the game of football. Others love what the game gives them. Does this team need more of the former and less of the latter? The boys talk about that disappointing effort in New York, playing smart, the 30-point threshold and more!

This team has been beating who they're supposed to and have the offensive firepower to potentially be great. So are they now better than average? It's a debate for the boys as they discuss what should be a tough game against the Giants. Happy New Year!

This is a big one, folks. But Dallas just beat three teams running a 4-3 defense. Will they have trouble attacking New York's 3-4 scheme? The boys break down what the offense needs to do to get this win. Plus, Jesse gives us his, um, secret to scoring in the red zone.

How does Kellen Moore's situation affect the team now and in the future? Will McCarthy run the offense? Plus, is it a good thing if the Cowboys win out, yet don't make the postseason? (Hint: not to two former players.)

A few weeks ago we were all ready to run Mike Nolan out of town. With the way the defense has played of late, what about now? Should he be brought back? Plus, it looks like Dalton and his receivers have found their groove. We break it down on Victory Monday!

The boys are in a festive mood as they discuss Kellen Moore's future, what the owner said and if they need to get Amari more involved to beat Philly. Plus, should single-man Jesse be offering up some head-of-the-household marital advice? Yeah, right.

Sure, the chances of this team making the playoffs is slim, but winning is fun! The boys talk about momentum, this sudden wave of turnovers, play-calling and Lamb's onside kick decision. Plus, there's not a curse is there?

Unsung receiver Michael Gallup joins the show for an exclusive interview. The boys also discuss if Jaylon really didn't know the game got moved (and does it matter?), plus Nate and Jesse share memories of the Cowboys-49ers former rivalry.

Darren Woodson had some things to say about this defense. Kyle Shanahan had some things to say about this defense. The boys get into the scheme vs. players on that side of the ball as they look ahead to the team's matchup against the 49ers.

Are coaching changes coming? The boys discuss what may lie ahead for McCarthy's staff and how important back-to-back wins would be for this team. Plus, they break down what the Dallas offense is facing against a tough San Francisco defense.

After seeing last night's thriller, the boys take a look at how far away the Cowboys might be from contending. And just where are all these turnovers coming from? Plus, we talk running backs and the team's red zone offense.

Was it against a bad team? Who cares? The boys talk about the defense's effort, Dalton's day, the running back by committee approach and more as they break down a much-needed Cowboys win.

We're Winging It today with an exclusive interview with Leighton Vander Esch. He talks about the challenges of playing linebacker, growing up in a basketball household with three sisters, Boise State and more. Plus, are we now discussing effort?
