Hangin' With The 'Boys

Pro Football Focus' stats say the Cowboys have the second-best roster in the NFL this year? So what happened? Is the leadership and culture the problem? The boys talk about putting the puzzle back together again. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's plenty of blame to go around from the loss in Philly. In a must-win game, there was a lot of bark, but not much bite. But hey, at least we've got the holidays to take our minds off this mess. Merry Christmas! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If they'd just taken care of business earlier in the season (the Jets!), we wouldn't be in this mess. Now, can Dak make the throws? Is Rush ready? The boys talk Cowboys/Eagles, Nate's birthday and donuts. Plus, Mama Gross calls in! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Dak going to be good to go? Should he even try, given his injury? Can Rush get the job done? Then there's that passer for the Eagles. How do they stop him? The boys talk quarterbacks for both teams. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nate's all-in on this team, but Jesse, Shannon and Kurt need more proof that the win over the Rams was the real deal. Can they do it again in Philly? They'd better. The boys go round and round as the Eagles loom. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Was the dominating win over Rams the outlier or have they found their identity? The great Omar Epps joins the boys for the full show to talk about the team's big win! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is this team willing to leave its comfort zone to win a game? Doing your job and doing the little things is what it takes. The boys talk the keys to beating the Ram, plus Garrett's press conference and Mama Gross makes her picks. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rams are already in playoff mode as they fight for a wild-card spot. Are the Cowboys? Or has mediocrity become accepted? The boys talk finding a way to win, getting the best players the ball and more! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nate Newton, Jesse Holley and Shannon Gross talk Cowboys offense vs Rams defense, Dak Prescott's hand and more on today's episode of Hangin' with the Boys. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Garrett's getting the blame, but the Cowboys are among league leaders in missed tackles, drops and penalties (and are one of the worst in turnovers). What's the big issue keeping this team from winning? The boys discuss. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do your job, know your job, fulfill your job. If not, find someone who will. The boys talk coaches, kicking, leadership, attitude and ... Phil Niekro? It's a busy Monday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone is frustrated after another disappointing loss, and rightfully so. Where's the want-to? Where's the attitude? Do teams look forward to playing the Cowboys now? The Hanging crew breaks it down. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do they need to sign Amari? Definitely. Can they run the table on the rest of the schedule? They better. How about stopping Mack? Yes, please. All this as the boys break down Cowboys-Bears. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The days of Michael Irvin, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith had physicality, attitude and leadership. How about today's team? The boys discuss this and more heading into another Thursday showdown. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amari had some words to say, so too the owner. And, of course, the boys have plenty to say as well. Mama Gross and Patty are also in the house with some tasty treats. Plus, our picks! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While the Cowboys will still be in first place after Thursday, the crew discussed how important this game is for Jason Garrett. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's no laziness going on here, but is there stubbornness? And is this team really as talented as we all thought? The boys discuss how it all may come back to this one thing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Was it the coaches' fault? The players' lack of execution? Yes and yes. The boys break down the details missed that led to another disappointing loss. And about that glove ... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thirty-two minutes in time of possession, that is. So says Nate if we want to win. The boys talk next man up (looking at you linebackers) and the offense controlling the game. Plus, our picks with Mama Gross. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
