Hangin' With The 'Boys: Games to Learn

October 7, 2025 • 46 mins
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has been outstanding as a play-caller, but how has he been doing as a head coach? Plus, are some of those tough teams late in the schedule as tough as we thought? And will playing lesser opponents like the Jets now pay off then, especially with the young players? Let’s hope. Regardless, why do we discredit those wins? It’s Nate’s fault.

October 6, 2025 • 48 mins

The Cowboys got a dose of the medicine they needed with their victory over the Jets. So are they where we thought they’d be after five games? Are we any closer to knowing what type of team this is? One thing is for certain – Coach Schottenheimer and his staff are cooking right now. And Dak Prescott is better than he’s ever been. But what about that offensive line? Who saw that coming?

Hangin' With The 'Boys: Sack or not to Sack

October 2, 2025 • 46 mins
The Cowboys are not only facing another mobile quarterback this week in Justin Fields, they may be facing the best one. So is it better to keep containment than actually go for the sack? We’ve also heard a lot about communication in the secondary, but is communication between the defensive line and linebackers even more important this week? And about those injuries ...

Hangin' with the Boys: Run of Show

October 1, 2025 • 47 mins
Could these next two games on the schedule be the turning point of the season? Does that bring any added pressure? Plus, is Jake Ferguson essentially part of the run game now? Is that bad? On the other side of the ball, last year the Dallas defense was one of the worst at stopping the run. Now they’re one of the worst at stopping the pass. Which is better? And is help really on the way?

Hangin' With The 'Boys: Scared Money

September 29, 2025 • 51 mins
Should the Cowboys have gone for it on fourth-and-goal in overtime? If they wanted to really build a culture, maybe they should have. Because does a tie really mean anything?

Hangin' With The 'Boys: Constant Pressure

September 26, 2025 • 49 mins
Can the Cowboys manufacture more pressure in this Sunday night showdown with Green Bay? Does that mean blitzing more? Or maybe having Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland roaming in the secondary will help.

Hangin' with the Boys: Calling Them Out?

September 25, 2025 • 47 mins
We heard a lot of talk during the offseason about culture, but does it really work if you’re not winning games? Is there a risk now that the message will get lost? And the coaches have said they’re simplifying things. Does that put pressure on the players? And how does that sit with them? The grace period may be running out.

Hangin' with the Boys: Fast Pack

September 24, 2025 • 47 mins
Hold onto your hats because this Green Bay defense plays fast, and they’ll throw a multitude of coverages at you on the back end. And then there’s that defensive line. The Packers’ front is led by a certain player we’re all acquainted with, but he’s not the only one to worry about. So how do the Cowboys attack this defense? Could it be handing it off to No. 33? Let’s get low and slow.

Hangin' with the Boys: Should Have Known Better

September 23, 2025 • 44 mins
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said changes could be coming to both the teams's scheme and personnel. But what changes? Are there better options available? Plus, with a new coordinator, new scheme and no preseason action for the starters, shouldn't we have known the defense was going to struggle out of the gate? Also, is George Pickens ready to step up and be a movable piece in the offense?

Hangin' with the Boys: Too Easy? Too Cute?

September 22, 2025 • 51 mins
Everything went wrong for the Cowboys in their loss to the Bears, especially on the defensive side of the ball. And the problems all start with the defensive line. Can they fix it? Will Jadeveon Clowney be the answer? Not that the offense gets a pass on this either. Would it have made a difference if CeeDee Lamb hadn’t been injured? Should he have been in the backfield to begin with? Let’s commiserate together.

Hangin' with the Boys: Communication Breakdown

September 19, 2025 • 47 mins
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said fixing the defense is easy; they just need better communication. But what does that mean? Is it in the huddle? Before the ball is snapped? During the play? And talking might be easy, but is understanding? And will there be any communication problems with Brock Hoffman now at center. Plus, Nate talks trash-talking, Jesse’s key stat and our predictions!

Hangin' with the Boys: Nickel, Dime, Dollar

September 18, 2025 • 47 mins
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams certainly has the arm talent, but can the Cowboys force him into some of the bad habits that have hampered him? And can they contain him in the pocket? Plus, Chicago likes to throw short, which is tougher to defend with a zone defense. Can Dallas adjust? And is Trevon Diggs being set up to fail? Not intentionally, but …

Hangin' with the Boys: Set Up for Success?

September 16, 2025 • 47 mins
So Matt Eberflus’ defense is supposed to be easier for players to handle. But does that mean it’s also easier for opposing offenses to attack? Sure seems so. And was this scheme designed to have a stud pass-rusher, which is why the Cowboys are now bringing in Jadeveon Clowney? Plus, the chess match that goes on between players during games to gain an advantage. Hear it from those who know!

Hangin' with the Boys: Assignment Alignment

September 11, 2025 • 45 mins
The Giants offensive line is, well, not good. So can the Cowboys defensive line take advantage? And just importantly, they struggled to contain Jalen Hurts last week. Can they stop Russell Wilson from breaking loose? And Nate’s philosophy is that if he has an A player and four B+ players on offense, he can make the rest work. Do the Cowboys have that? How about on defense?
