Bill's late arrival reminds of where head coach Brian Schottenheimer learned much of his football, bringing his dad's book "Marty Ball," maybe one of the reasons the Cowboys have put an emphasis on running the football. Also, a comprehensive look on the number of injuries besetting the team and working Blue.

The Cowboys head back to work, knowing they have a lot of fields to attend to, the defense, like linebacker and secondary, and the of course, Jets QB Justin Fields, the Jets second leading rusher and someone the Cowboys should know all about having faced him last season quarterbacking the Steelers.

Getting down to why the Cowboys tied this game, from the defense's inability to get off the field on third downs to maybe another factor influencing Brian Schottenheimer to kick the field goal on fourth down in OT instead of going for the touchdown. And potential reserve move activations.

This is always the dilemma with ties, should the Cowboys be happy tying a team heavily favored to win, or be disappointed they did not win a winnable game. The offense led by Dak, Pickens and the O-Line put up 40 on the NFL's No. 1 scoring defense, but the defense gave up 40, too, now 33 points a game.

Fight Song Friday starts off with a bang, talking about Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterback Roger Staubach making a surprise visit to The Star during Brian Schottenheimer's Friday press conference, poking his head into the room to meet the Cowboys head coach. Then it's about Micah's return, picks to click and Roger's presence changing one pick.

A whole lot of talk about eyes recognizing what is taking place in secondary coverage. Then with George Picklens stepping up to help mitigate CeeDee Lamb's absence, which WR now steps up into his role. Banking on Clowney playing and Green Bay's O-Line shuffle.

Enough on the loss to the Bears, time to move on to the Green Bay Packers. And not just on how to deal with Micah Parsons' return, but also focusing on an offense and quarterback Jordan Love, both a handful to deal with. Although how the Pack is using Micah.

Great update on injuries suffered by CeeDee Lamb and Tyler Booker, plus the players expected to be the next man up and the next man after that. One more time going over three defensive play mistakes and how this offense needs to bail out the Cowboys.

The defense giving up big plays let this one get away from the Cowboys, but the offense, knowing it's the lifeblood of this team, never really getting off the ground, scoring a season-low 14 points. And now there is the possibility of going forward without CeeDee Lamb, having suffered a high ankle sprain.

Getting everyone game ready for Cowboys-Bears, including Fight Song Friday, and that's for both teams. Jerry Jones talking about being open for trade business during the season, Brian Schottenheimer explaining why Jaydon Blue hasn't been active and of course the fearless Picks and Picks To Click.

While there is some talk looking back at the win over the Giants, time to start considering what the Cowboys have to improve on when facing the Bears on Sunday. Start with the offensive line, of course the secondary, update on Jadeveon Clowney and a little city history of Chicago.

Taking a two-game look at just where the Cowboys are at 1-1, knowing they will be without center Cooper Beebe for up to two months, how well Dak is playing and has played in his career, thinking it's just a short life without KaVontae Turpin and getting Everson in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

So much to talk about in a game the likes of which few have ever witnessed as this victory over the Giants seems to be. Start with the comeback, the field goals by Brandon Aubrey, Dak's late-game drives and the inability of the secondary to play zone coverage. The guys have you covered.

Might have been the earliest pregame show, the guys touching on such topics as what the Cowboys do at cornerback without DaRon Bland, and updates from Brian Schottenheimer's press conference and Jerry Jones radio segment, and of course picks to click and game predictions.

The last thing the Cowboys needed was an injury at the cornerback position ahead of Sunday's Giants game, and how the Cowboys compensate. Then the ability to run the football against this Giants pass-rush conscious defense and just what happened after the Clowney visit.

Time to start concentrating on the New York Giants, even if the Cowboys have beaten them the last eight straight and 15 of the past 16 times. But first, pointing out why the Cowboys would bring in veteran DE Jadeveon Clowney to potentially sign, and what's there to worry about Russell Wilson.

The guys were all over the place on Tuesday, starting with some memories of Cowboys games against the Giants back in the day, to the QBs in the Monday Night Football game, especially Caleb Williams, to breaking down the numbers inside Micah's contract with the Packers, to placing Perrion on Winfrey on IR.

More impressions from the Cowboys-Eagles game, glancing over Sunday games, zeroing in on upcoming opponent Giants opener against Washington and of course reacting to Micah Parsons first game without back issues with the Packers.

While there are no moral victories in the NFL, the guys point out how even in this close loss to the Eagles to open the season, there were so many encouraging aspects demonstrated by a team thought to be void of talent going into the game as heavy underdogs.

No more dilly-dallying around, it's time to play ball, the guys hitting on stopping the Eagles running game, keeping Jalen Hurts in the pocket, producing pressure without Micah, DaRon Bland's contract, tribute to Lee Roy Jordan, and as usual picks and picks to click.

One topic show, the guys making perfect sense of why the Micah Parsons trade somewhat unexpectedly went down, pointing out not only the compensation but the current and future salary cap ramifications, and then some Kenny Clark analysis.

While the guys bring you up to date with some of the roster moves, they really get into the Micah Parsons continuing sage , along with looking at the 53-man roster, as it stands now, along with 2025 expectations.

An early assessment on the roster moves the Cowboys made getting to 53, and some of the corresponding moves they would eventually make. Then breaking in with two waiver claims that just took place, plus the story of keeping Perrion Winfrey.

With preseason completed and rosters down to 53 on Tuesday, major discussions on certain positions, including backup quarterback, cornerback, wide receiver, running back and how injuries will affect numbers at several position groups. Heavy on Joe Milton.
