Hangin' With The 'Boys

Last season, Asim Richards looked like he might battle to become a starter. Now, he’s been traded. Meanwhile, Damone Clark was an afterthought a year ago. Now he’s shining. But that’s what happens when a new coaching staff comes in. Plus, should we be that worried about losing those guys on the bubble? Would they really make an impact anyway? It’s cut-down day, folks! See omnystudio.com/listener f...

Ahead of the tonight’s release of the Deep Blue documentary “Coach Joe,” Jesse and Nate share stories of their time around former special teams coach Joe Avezzano. Plus, Joe Milton had some comments after practice that caught our attention. And how about a few players fighting for roster spots will we be watching in the final preseason matchup. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has said they’re keeping the play calls during the preseason simple. But what’s that mean when guys struggle with the simple things? Also, should they continue to run Joe Milton out there? He needs reps to help his development, but how does that affect evaluating the other guys on the offense? And about that depth at cornerback … See omnystudio.com/listener for priv...

Jesse calls in from California to tell us about the last padded practice out in Oxnard. (Hint: it was a good one.) But, the Cowboys head back to Texas with a lot of questions still to be answered. Could those answers come from outside the organization? Also, how tough mentally is it now for Mazi Smith? Can Joe Milton learn to put some touch on his passes? And why are people overlooking Jalen Tolbe...

So none of the starters played in the first preseason game. Can we expect them to be ready for Week 1 at the Eagles after only one scrimmage and a bunch of practices? Is Joe Milton ready to be the backup? Did anybody stand out? Plus, Jesse calls in with the latest from training camp and tells us about his experience at Netflix’s premiere of the new Jerry Jones documentary. See omnystudio.com/liste...

Shannon Gross, Jesse Holley and Nate Newton discuss the latest Dallas Cowboys updates including the upcoming preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since Nate has boots on the ground at training camp, he gives us a first-hand breakdown of the Cowboys’ scrimmage against the Rams yesterday. And unfortunately, Brian Schottenheimer’s group has a lot to work on. Are we looking at the same old issues in the run game on both sides of the ball? Plus, a little coach talk, how quickly can Micah Parsons be ready to play and more! See omnystudio.com/list...

Shannon Gross and Jesse Holley talk about all things Dallas Cowboys while Nate Newton joins live from Oxnard, California. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There have been enough skirmishes and such at training camp that Coach Schottenheimer made the team run. So is all this physicality in practice a good thing? Are they also learning discipline? Let’s hope so. Plus, just what is an “attacking front” on the defensive line and, well, do the Cowboys have the players to do it? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The injury bug has bitten a few players out at training camp, most notably Tyler Guyton. Nate calls in to give us the updates and who he thinks might be stepping in to replace those walking wounded. Plus, Jesse’s prediction came true with the signing of Jake Ferguson. The ’Boys are off in Oxnard today, but your boys here are back in the studio. Come hang with us. See omnystudio.com/listener for pr...

As Nate tells us from Oxnard, lot of talk about the pace and intensity of Brian Schottenheimer’s practices … and some of the chippiness it’s brought on. Is that a good thing? Hey, if you’re not practicing aggressively, can you be aggressive in games? Plus, Jesse has a few players he’s hearing good things about, including rookie Donovan Ezeiruaku. It’s a football Friday! See omnystudio.com/listener...

Here we are again with another contract negotiation dominating training camp. The deal will get done, but why all the drama beforehand? Why drag it out? In better news, Nate calls in from Oxnard and is already impressed with the way practices are going. Guys are running hard, the competition is high and nothing is seemingly being handed to anyone. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informatio...

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!...

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. See omnystudio.com/li...

Why are the Cowboys once again waiting to sign another star player? Could this be a business decision holding things up? Plus, there’s been a lot of talk about leadership, but are there different types of leaders? And can they all coexist? Is knowing when to assert leadership the key? And could Jalen Tolbert be relieved that George Pickens is now with the team? He should be. See omnystudio.com/lis...

Will all this culture change mean anything if the Cowboys don’t win games? Do players care if Micah Parsons isn’t on the practice field during OTAs? How about if Trevon Diggs is doing his rehab away from the Star? Plus, Tyler Booker has stepped right into working with the first team. Is he that good? Or is this due to the coaching change? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shannon Gross, Jesse Holley, and Nate Newton discuss the Cowboys’ 2025 schedule release, their thoughts on getting Micah Parsons signed before training camp, and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

George Pickens is joining the team, but CeeDee Lamb is still the No. 1 guy. Should Coach Schotty sit down and make that clear to Pickens right from the jump? You bet! Plus, just what does he bring to the team? Was the price too high for what could be a one-year rental? And could this affect the culture the team is trying to build? Regardless, this trade has got people (and us) excited. See omnystu...

Recapping our thoughts on the Draft and the Dallas Cowboys first round pick Tyler Booker as well as why arrogance is needed as a professional athlete. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The time has finally come. The draft is here! So who should the Cowboys grab at No. 12? A receiver? Lineman? Cornerback? Running back? Speaking of, unless Ashton Jeanty is available, should they wait until Day 3 to get a running back? Should they trade down? No matter who they pick in the first round, as our man Nate says, they need a showstopper. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informatio...

What do the Cowboys need in the upcoming draft? A player (or players) who can inject some hope into the team and season – a Michael Irvin, as Nate says. Plus, is head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s offseason plan off to a good start? And it’s time to say goodbye and honor another Cowboys great, Tyron Smith. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nate Newton, Jesse Holley and Shannon Gross bring you the latest Cowboys news and updates. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cowboys have acquired or signed quite a few players this offseason who they liked coming out of college but haven’t done much in the NFL. Is that the right strategy? Is this just for depth? Can they help them develop into something more? Plus, will the leash be short for head coach Brian Schottenheimer? And was it a surprise to hear him say there were building the roster from the outside in? S...

Been a lot of talk about Micah Parsons’ leadership and his recent back and forth with DeMarcus Lawrence on social media. Should a Lion lose sleep worrying about the opinions of sheep? Plus, let’s take a look at the draft. What position should the Cowboys be looking to fill in the first round? Does the heart say receiver while the head says offensive tackle? And what about a certain running back? S...

It’s been a busy couple of days for the Cowboys as free agency gets going. So are we good with the strategy here? Signing depth guys with hopes they can make an impact? What about letting guys go like DeMarcus Lawrence, Jourdan Lewis and Rico Dowdle? Was that the right decision? Plus, the Cowboys have lost a few of their leaders. Will that be an issue in the locker room? Let’s dig into the latest!...
