The Cowboys have built a little momentum with back-to-back wins, but are they ready to face one of the bullies on the block? The Lions have one of the best offensive lines in the league, so how does the Dallas defense stop their potent running attack? Or for that matter Jared Goff? Is he one of the more underrated quarterbacks? Plus, Eric Kendricks popped up on the injury report. How important has he become to the defense? (Hint: Huge!)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Lions are downplaying last year’s loss, saying its history. Should we believe them? Yeah, right. So what’s ahead for the Dallas offense? They’ll have to deal with one of the best pass-rushers in the game in Aiden Hutchinson, but what about the rest of the Detroit defense? Plus, is Jake Ferguson getting too tied up in blocking instead of running routes? And let’s throw in a little Dak, Lamb and Tolbert talk as well!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We saw some fight and fire on Sunday at Pittsburgh. Could it have been because of who wasn’t on the field? And is this the start of something good? Still, there have been red-zone problems this season. What can they do differently to get in the end zone? Is Zeke the answer? If not, why not? Or has Freaky Mike become Michael from Pittsburgh?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cowboys had plenty of reasons to lose that game – injuries, weather, turnovers – but instead of folding up their tents and going home, they fought. And Dak Prescott did so especially. And Rico Dowdle and Jalen Tolbert. What led to the big win in Pittsburgh? Plus, in the case of Tyler Guyton, what will 1,000 reps tell us? Let’s talk about it all on Victory Monday!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coach McCarthy said, “It’s about the players. It’s not about the plays.” Is that true? What if your players just aren’t as good as theirs? Don’t the coaches have an obligation to get creative with calls? Plus, there could be nasty weather in Pittsburgh on Sunday night. Who does that benefit more, the offense or defense? How will it affect special teams? And are team identities important? It’s a Wingstop Friday!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Great job of preparing for Cowboys-Steelers Sunday night. Comprehensive injury update, including what happened to Brandin Cooks, running game talk for both sides, what the Cowboys must do to neutralize T.J. Watt, the emergence of The Maz and some Cowboys-Steelers history, including the 2016 meeting.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cowboys still have two Pro Bowl-level guards and a solid veteran at right tackle, so should the offensive line be struggling this much? Can they find some cohesiveness this week against one of the toughest defensive lines in the league? Or should they even worry about running the ball? (Hint: Yes!) Plus, now with Brandin Cooks out, who is going to step up in the receiving corps?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So is it time to make a change along the offensive line? Because he’s struggling, does Tyler Guyton need a chance to take a step back and develop his technique? Or do you hope the rest of the line improves, so they can give the young rookie more help? Also, why don’t the Cowboys use more motion in their offense? Is it all about teaching an old dog new tricks? It’s time to let the fans sound off. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You know the old saying, “The best defense is a good offense.” That may mean more now than ever before. So what are Mike Zimmer’s troops going to do to get to the passer? Will teammates rally around and collectively pick up the slack? Can someone like DeMarvion Overshown step into a larger pass-rushing role? Or is it truly all going to all fall back on Dak Prescott to win games?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Would changing the defense to a 3-4 scheme instead of a 4-3 help free up Micah Parsons? Maybe. There’s just one big problem. Meanwhile, on the offensive side of the ball, why are Cowboys receivers struggling to create separation? Turns out, there’s one big problem there as well. Plus, can CeeDee Lamb really change, our predictions and more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s hard to believe that Dalvin Cook isn’t ready. He’s been here nearly a month. So why not see what he’s got? Then again, will he really make a difference? With the way the offensive line is struggles right now, does it matter who is carrying the ball? Plus, there’s been so much talk about guys doing their jobs, could we see an overcorrection on Thursday? Let’s hope not.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sure, the loss was bad, but what’s really concerning is the sideline body language, the bad preparation in practice and the leaders continuing to talk about players not doing their jobs. So can it be fixed? Have the players tuned out the coaches? Or do they have the right guys on the roster? The season is still young, but can the Cowboys find the answers?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jesse, Shannon, and Nate share their final thoughts before the Cowboys take on the Ravens this Sunday at AT&T Stadium and make their predictions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Been a lot of talk about guys not doing their jobs last week. So why couldn’t they recognize that during the game? Nate and Jesse provide some perspective. Plus, is it better to all-out rush Lamar Jackson or spread the umbrella and try to contain him? And who scares you more in the run game, the speed and shiftiness of Jackson or the size and strength of Derek Henry?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Ravens defensive line is stout. There won’t be much pushing them around. So do the Cowboys not even worry about running the ball? Along those lines, center Cooper Beebe has been great in pass protection but has struggled some in run blocking? What does he need to do? Plus, someone has to step up and help CeeDee Lamb in the passing game? Who’s it going to be?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Was there a problem with the Cowboys’ effort in that game against the Saints? Defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer took the blame but said, “They beat us off the snap quite a few times.” Isn’t that effort? More importantly, can it be corrected? And, uh-oh, is Zack Martin starting to look mortal? Good thing we’ve got a six-time Pro Bowl lineman who has been through this himself and can give us some insight!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you break it down, that game was lost at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Sure, the Saints had a scheme and motion that kept the Cowboys guessing, but they were also just more physical, continuing an ongoing theme. From questionable play-calling to questionable effort, this was ugly. So can they now put this debacle behind them and forget about it? Or should they?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So should tight end Jake Ferguson play this weekend? Why rush him back this early in the season? Plus, Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak was on Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer’s staff in Minnesota. Will that give one or the other an advantage when they face off on Sunday? And could defensive end Chase Young be an even bigger challenge for Tyler Guyton? It’s a freaky Friday!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After one game, were there any big differences between Mike Zimmer’s defense and Dann Quinn’s? How about the way Micah Parsons is used? Is it okay to empower him to do what he does best? You better believe it. Plus, how worried should we be about this Saints offense? With the formations and schemes they run, they might just be better than we think. Don’t miss the breakdown from Nate and Jesse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sure, the Saints played a bad Carolina team in Week 1, but that doesn’t mean the Cowboys can take them lightly, right? Was winning on the road at Cleveland in Week 1 a big game for Dak Prescott? What happened in that second half? And will things get easier for the rookie linemen? Or tougher because now there’s film?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now that Dak Prescott has his money, what should the return on investment be for this to be considered a successful deal? Does he have to win a Super Bowl? Reach the NFC Championship Game? And speaking of contracts, is Mike McCarthy changing his approach any now that he’s in his last year? Plus, how much will it affect the offense if Jake Ferguson misses time?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a way to open the season. There are plenty of accolades to go around after that impressive win in Cleveland. How did the offensive line look with the two rookies? How about Mike Zimmer’s defense, including the likes of DeMarvion Overshown, Eric Kendricks and Jourdan Lewis? And think Dak Prescott had a good day? It’s Victory Monday!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s time for our yearly trek through the schedule to see what games we think the Cowboys are going to win or lose. Are we looking at another 12-win season? A division title? Are they Super Bowl contenders or still building toward something? Plus, a few calls and more. Let’s play some real football!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Micah Parsons may want to be a stealthy assassin moving around in the defensive scheme, but he’s going to be the first player offenses look for on the field. So how can the Cowboys keep him from wearing down? And how long is it going to take for the defense overall to gel in Mike Zimmer’s new scheme? Plus, can Deshaun Watson still be a game-changer?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
