Mick Shots: Fabulous Football Friday

A Victory Friday after the Cowboys 20-15 win over the NY Giants on Thursday night and just how huge this win is for the Cowboys. So many parts to pulling even at 2-2, between the DBs and LBs recognition to Mazi Smith's improved play and the three offensive stars of the game.

So much to deal with, the Cowboys inability to stop the run, quick look at rookie QB Jayden Daniels, telling players to worry about themselves, Nate's soft rebuild, need to compete against an improving Giants team and defense needing to play better on first down. Oh, picks and picks to click, too.

No holds barred breaking down the disappointing loss to Baltimore, once again starting with the inability to stop the run and slow start on offense. And with Nate filling in for Everson, he was not happy with CeeDee Lamb's performance and attitude.

After some talk about Shohei Ohtani's great feat, the guys with Nate in Frisco joining the show got to the bottom line on this matchup with Baltimore. The Cowboys offensive and defensive lines will play a big part in deciding the outcome of this game. And of course picks and picks to click.

After a practice and injury update, attention turns to the Baltimore Ravens, the history between the two teams, the Ravens offensive line and running backs, their defense and the effects of September football on both teams.

Great job by the guys analyzing the play of the Cowboys offensive and defensive lines with Nate in Frisco joining the show and what needs to improve.

The NFL is like the Texas weather. If you don't like it, wait a day. And as bad as the Cowboys loss was on Sunday to the Saints, by the end of the next day the Cowboys are now tied for first place in the NFC East. Taking another look at key moments in the loss, along with an update on Jake Ferguson.

This defense failed its big test to see if the Cowboys can stop the run, which they didn't in this humbling loss to the Saints. But again there was no defense of the offense's inability to score touchdowns, instead once against kicking too many field goals.

Time to get ready for Sunday's home opener against the Saints, providing an extensive injury update for the Cowboys and Saints, the importance of the Cowboys being able to stop the run, and in the end further emphasized by walk-on guest Nate Newton, breaking down the importance of the 1-technique play.

After an extensive look at the Cowboys injury report and depth at TE and DE, the guys turned their attention to the Saints offense against the Cowboys defense, and the need for the defense to stop Alvin Kamara and the Saints running game.

Great the Cowboys won the season opener, but now as head coach Mike McCarthy says, got to improve for this second game against the Saints.

With Everson participating in Charles Haley's charity golf tournament supporting "Tackle Tomorrow," Nate Newton steps in to give a great analysis of the Tyler Guyton and Cooper Beebe rookie debuts. Then it's on to Mazi Smith, Caelen Carson and Jerry's thoughts on Dak's contract.

What a team effort for the Cowboys in a season opener, offense, defense and special teams contributing to this victory over Cleveland on the road. How' bout that Eric Kendricks, DeMarvion Overshown, Caelen Carson and the rookie offensive linemen. And putting perspective on Dak's contract.

Finally, the season opener is here, and after discussing the Thursday night's NFL opener, the guys get into a deeper dive on Cowboys-Browns,, though cautiously speculating on a Dak extension, Caelen Carson on the injury report, potential cornerback backups and picks/picks to click.

After some Everson history with Stephen A., this became a heavy concentration on the Cleveland Browns, from how to defend such a precise route runner like Amari Cooper to that Browns defensive front up against two rookies starting on the Cowboys offensive line to Deshaun Watson's versatility and the Browns coaching staff.

Start with head coach Mike McCarthy revealing this year's theme to the season, then what shouldn't have been breaking news with the Cowboys depth chart revealed, the Rayfield Wright first start story and Everson taking on Stephen A.

First week of the NFL regular season, and the guys get off to a flying start, talking about what the Browns have to worry about with the Cowboys, Browns concerns on the offensive line, the Cowboys tough start to the schedule and a quick look at some salary cap issues.

All you need to know about the Cowboys signing CeeDee Lamb to his extension and the inner workings of the contract, anticipating the signing of RB Dalvin Cook to the practice squad, positions still needing attention and Savannah's final appearance on Mick Shots.

Our Mick Shots crew is back together again, and just in time to pick Everson Walls mind on likely having to start a rookie corner with starter DaRon Bland out six to eight weeks and now needing a fourth corner. Plus, potential roster cuts.

Reduced to just Mickey and Savannah, a great review of Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders, and for the first time in training camp on the last show from Oxnard, we took calls, reconnecting with our longtime fan Nebbie.

Talk about a deep dive into the Cowboys lines, both offensive and defensive, the Cowboys knowing they must develop young linemen on both sides of the ball in a hurry And then the week that was in Cowboys history 38 years ago.

Sure, the Cowboys lost their first preseason game, 13-12, to the Rams, but a whole bunch of young players gave encouraging performance in their first NFL game, and that includes young QB Trey Lance playing in his first game of any kind since last training camp with the Niners.

Getting everyone ready for a combination of Thursday's scrimmage with the Rams and Sunday's first preseason game against the Rams at SoFi. Got to hear what Nate has to say about the offensive line and his thoughts on Trey Lance's big chance.

With a lineup change this week, Cowboys six-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman Nate Newton sliding in to Bill's spot, we take a comprehensive look at just where the Cowboys offensive line is after five padded practice, along with the running backs on the "committee."

Lot of ground to cover Friday, including two defensive ends signed, missing Sam, what Dak had to say, what Micah had to say, secondary rankings and a few players keenly interest in watching.
