Hangin' With The 'boys

Time to break down the draft. Did the Cowboys get it right in the first round? What about the second? Should they have grabbed an offensive lineman? And now that the draft is done, what does the team still need? Plus, a look at Deuce Vaughn, son of Cowboys’ assistant director of college scouting Chris Vaughn, and what he brings to the table.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cowboys have a history of taking chances on guys in the second round. Sometimes they work out. Sometimes not so much (and perhaps too often). Is it better to gamble a little in the second or play it safe? And should the Cowboys pick up a playmaker in the first or a big man for the trenches? Plus, Nate and Jesse share some draft memories.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For all the talk about running backs and wide receivers and tight ends, shouldn’t we be worried about the offensive line? New coach? New scheme? New positions?

Plus, which side of the ball currently has more talent for the Cowboys?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Moves here, moves there, moves everywhere. What does Brandin Cooks bring to the offense besides speed? Could Ezekiel Elliott have made a push to come back? Why did Dalton Schultz wind up in Houston? And with their remaining money, should the Cowboys work out extensions for CeeDee Lamb or Trevon Diggs?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Players are coming and going. Have the Cowboys suffered any big losses yet? Are they starting to grow desperate for linemen and receivers? And why are salaries such a competition? Wouldn’t it be better to sign for less with a winning team than get bigger dollars with a struggling one? Plus, is Micah Parsons sending a message?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Cowboys have slapped the franchise tag on Tony Pollard, but was it the right move? And now what do they do with Ezekiel Elliott? Is a low-ball offer disrespectful? Or do you put that decision on him? And will all of these offensive changes affect Dak Prescott? It’s a tough business, this football.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Does the Scouting Combine carry the same weight as it used to? What are the teams and players getting out of it? Plus, the franchise tag deadline is fast approaching.

We kick off the show with our thoughts on the Super Bowl and how Dallas might stack up against the Chiefs and Eagles. Then, since it’s Valentine’s Day, let’s go through the Cowboys’ free agents and see who they should consider keeping and who they should perhaps break up with.

With Brian Schottenheimer now the offensive coordinator, what will the identity of this team be? How will it work behind the scenes during the week with the coaches and players? How about on game day with Mike McCarthy calling plays?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If we can expect 85 percent of the roster back next season, how can the Cowboys take that next step and get better? Will they finally sign a big free agent? Will it fall on the new coaches to bring improvement? Also, Mike McCarthy will now be calling plays. Does he have the personnel in place to rework the team’s offense?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There’s great discussion going on here today! Do the Cowboys need more talent around Dak Prescott? Or does the quarterback need to just be better? And if so, how does he get better? Does he need a new voice in his ear, a Dak Whisperer? His career may now be at a critical point. It’s time for the Cowboys to help him reach that next level one way or the other.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Don’t come with the “What Ifs?” here. What if Dak Prescott hadn’t thrown two more interceptions? What if Tony Pollard didn’t get injured? What if Trevon Diggs had hauled in that interception? The facts are the facts and the hurt is real. The Cowboys couldn’t rise to the occasion and get the job done.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Delicious!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Mike Tyson said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” Can Dak Prescott and the offense keep it rolling against the league’s No. 1 defense? How big of a factor must the running game be in order for the Cowboys to be successful? And it’s going to be Tyron Smith vs. Nick Bosa? That’s the heavyweight bout we want to see!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Proud of Dak Prescott, that is. After one of the worst games of his career just the week before, the Dallas quarterback had one of the best performances in team history in the playoff win over the Buccaneers. But he had plenty of help on both sides of the ball. It’s a big, BIG, victory Tuesday after the Cowboys take care of business in Tampa.Proud of Dak Prescott, that is.

Can Dak Prescott take his game to another level? Can the Cowboys disrupt Tom Brady’s timing? The key to winning this game might just come down to the guys behind center.
