CW Ep. 25 [Week 15 2019]: Pros and Cons of Cowboys Making the Playoffs, Garrett's Status, Maher Told to Kick Rocks, and Cowboys vs Rams on Sunday

CW Ep. 25 [Week 15 2019]: Pros and Cons of Cowboys Making the Playoffs, Garrett's Status, Maher Told to Kick Rocks, and Cowboys vs Rams on Sunday

Welcome back to Cowboys Weekly. On this episode, Jess and I will discuss:

  1. The notion that it would do more harm than good for the Dallas Cowboys to make the playoffs in 2019.
  2. A recent report by NFL Network's Ian Rapaport that Jason Garrett has been informed he will not return in 2020 without a deep 2019 playoff run.
  3. Kicker Brett Maher is released and veteran K Kai Forbath is signed.
  4. Is the upcoming week 15 game between the Cowboys and the Los Angeles Rams going to be as big of a nightmare as it looks like it could be?

And please forgive the excess noise on my track near the end; the lawn crew decided to make an off-schedule winter appearance and my new mic just couldn't resist. But, on the bright side, I finally figured out how to use my new mic, so there's that.

Have a wonderful day and GO COWBOYS!

CW Ep. 24 [Week 13 2019]: Situational Football Still a Challenge Against New England, Jerry's Growing Weary, and What We Need to Defeat Buffalo on Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and welcome back to Cowboys Weekly. On this episode, Jess and I discuss:

  1. The Situation with Situational Football in Dallas doesn't seem to be improving.
  2. Jerry Jones expressed his frustration after the loss to the New England Patriots last week leading many to wonder if Jason Garrett's time just got a little shorter in Dallas.
  3. What do the Cowboys need to do defeat the Buffalo Bills today?
  4. Which Cowboy must have a big game today for the Cowboys to win?

And still working on that audio on my end with this new mic. But that's the nature of home offices, where things get put away and brought back out when needed - it takes a few times to commit the setup to habit. Thanks for sticking with us.

Happy Thanksgiving and GO COWBOYS!

CW Ep. 23 [Week 12 2019]: Lions No Match for Cowboys, Patriots Present Huge Challenges for Dallas

Welcome back to Cowboys Weekly by InsideTheStar.com. On this episode:

  1. The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Detroit Lions in week 11 35-27 while Dak Prescott continued to roll through the air, and
  2. The Cowboys fly to Foxborough this Sunday to play the New England Patriots at home at 3:25 CST and will have their work cut out for them going up against the league's #1 defense

Apologies if the audio is a bit off this week, I had a mic take a crap on me last week and the replacement is much more sensitive than I realized.

Welcome back to Cowboys Weekly. The bye week is behind us and it's time to see if DAL can hold their momentum from week 7 against Philly, but first, the trade deadline ended without a successful trade for Jamal Adams, but Michael Bennett is now a Cowboy.

Welcome back! On this episode of Cowboys Weekly, Jess Haynie and I cover some of the notes from the Dallas Cowboys @ Washington Redskins in week 2, taking into consideration that it was a game we should've won and, in fact, did win, and the injuries resulting from that contest and how DAL will adjust going into week 3 against the Miami Dolphins.

Note: We had to record this one a day earlier than usual due to scheduling conflicts, which is why the discussion about Taco Charlton doesn't include the news that he was cut late-afternoon on Wednesday. Sorry about the lag on that one.

CW Ep. 13: Zeke Is Signed! Reviewing This Week's Contract Updates in Dallas & Previewing the Cowboys vs Giants Home Opener... Sort Of

Welcome back to Cowboys Weekly by InsideTheStar.com. This week has been chock-full of contracts, contracts, contracts for your Dallas Cowboys. The biggest news is Ezekiel Elliott's holdout coming to a record-setting end, but La'el Collins got in on the action too and there was some movement in the market for Dak Prescott as well. We go over it all. Then Jess and I look ahead to the home opener against the New York Giants in week 1, but there's a lot of side talk and deviation throughout. I guess we're just ready for the game!

Apologies for the audio. Sinus and cold issues are hitting us a both this week. Enjoy the game and share the podcast. Thanks!

CW Ep. 10: DAL @ SF Review, 53-Man Roster Projection, and Looking Ahead To The Rams

Good morning! This week on Cowboys Weekly, I go over the Cowboys' first preseason game from Saturday night against the 49ers, then Jess joins me to go over his current 53-man roster projection, and we talk quickly about the week ahead. Also, yes, I didn't say Marinelli's name right... oops! haha. Enjoy the show and, as always, share like crazy. Thanks.

My apologies if I sounded off. The rains came into East Texas Tuesday and my sinuses have been totally jacked up. Took out the obvious stuff but I sounded a bit congested (already taking meds for it but not enough, apparently).

CW Ep. 008: Cowboys Training Camp Notes and a Deeper Discussion on Ezekiel Elliott's Contract Situation, Jerry Jones's Comments, and the NFL's Problem

CW Ep. 008: Cowboys Training Camp Notes and a Deeper Discussion on Ezekiel Elliott's Contract Situation, Jerry Jones's Comments, and the NFL's Problem

Well, well, well... it seems the Dallas Cowboys have officially started training camp and that's awesome because it means we're SO CLOSE to Cowboys football, but there are a few bumps in the road to get there. This week, Jess and I talk a little about camp and more:

  1. Sean Lee's latest injury only confirms what many of us have been worried about since his move to SAM linebacker was announced for 2019
  2. TE Blake Jarwin is returning for his third season and, after bolstering his value to the team in 2018, he's moving nicely, but will Witten's return negatively affect him?
  3. The Cowboys signed RB Alfred Morris this week, raising concerns about the team's commitment to Ezekiel Elliott; should we be concerned by this?
  4. Ezekiel Elliott heads to Mexico during his holdout, Jerry Jones states in an interview that DAL doesn't need a "rushing champion to win a Super Bowl," and an extended discussion on Zeke's perspective, the team's perspective, and how the NFL may change in the coming years as a result of situations like the one Zeke finds himself in this year

As we roll thru our second month of Cowboys Weekly, things are looking up. Our listener count is steadily increasing week over week and that's entirely because of you! We don't promote this podcast too much beyond sharing it to our flagship accounts on Facebook and Twitter, so our growth is most attributable to you, our listeners. Thanks for sharing and coming back each week as we figure this all out.

This week on Cowboys Weekly, Jess and Matthew join me to unfold the Dallas Cowboys training camp roster to look at vets with something to lose, top position battles, rookies to watch, and who's on the bubble. And yes, I did say Brandon Carr, but I meant to say Derek Carr. Gotta love the unscripted, right? Anyway, we rolled with a slightly different format this week as we look for a smoother production process and feedback is welcome.

CW Ep. 5: NFC East Preview of the Washington Redskins and Can the Cowboys Draft a Good Enough QB to Replace Dak?

CW Ep. 5: NFC East Preview of the Washington Redskins and Can the Cowboys Draft a Good Enough QB to Replace Dak?

Jess Haynie returns this week to join me in a quick NFC East preview of the Washington Redskins in which QBs Smith and Haskins as well as RBs Guice and Peterson take the focus. Then I draw a complete blank on the Redskins offensive line coach and spit out another, much funnier, less competent name; whatever (haha). Blame Windows 10 for sucking up all of my mental energy trying to get this SSD booted up, but I digress. Then Jess and I ask the question: Let's say the Cowboys don't extend or re-sign Dak Prescott, is it even possible to find another in the NFL Draft at least as good as Dak in the next two years? Tune in to find out.

CW Ep. 2: Late-Round Rookies, 2018 Contributors, Backup QB, and More

Sorry for the late posting everybody. We managed to get everything recorded yesterday evening but I lost power not 15 minutes later, followed by tornadoes and all kinds of tornadic havoc in my neighborhood (Greenville, TX) the rest of the night.

Jess and I take a look at what's going on around Cowboys Nation this week, including how Dallas' 2019 late-round draft picks will fit into the already-stacked roster, which contributor from 2018 is most likely to not make the team in 2019, the backup QB situation and possible alternatives, a Clutch Points article on the 3 things the Cowboys must do to make the playoffs, and some back and forth on Dak Prescott and Tony Romo at the end ... Tune In!
