  • Cupcake interviews and fake laughs

    Coach Schotty needs to move to LA and be a comic. Every single thing he says they fake laugh at, it’s wild. Even after losses. They just guffaw at his jokes and talk about who is his favourite. Feels very amateur local radio. Like listen to their next schotty Interview. I’m not crazy. It’s absolutely wild. Come on boys, do your job.

  • Best sports show in DFW

    I listen to this show every single day while at work can’t say that abt any other show. I like especially when they talk evenly abt multiple sports not just cowboys I really don’t care abt how the cowboys practice went and I don’t think anyone else does either lol but I think they do a pretty good job talking abt the 4 major sports teams especially my favorites.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cody Alexander from MatchQuarters joins the show to discuss the Joey Porter Jr trade to the Cowboys
Q: How is Christian Parker doing with the current personnel, and does Porter change the dynamic of the back line?
Porter doesn't fundamentally change Parker's role overnight, but having Porter at boundary improves the reliability of the secondary, allowing Parker to operate with less risk and focus on his assignments. Over time, as the defense stabilizes, you should see growth from the front and back ends working more cohesively, with coverage driving the success of the unit.
Cody Alexander from MatchQuarters joins the show to discuss the Joey Porter Jr trade to the Cowboys
Q: Do you agree that the priority should have been an edge rusher versus a boundary corner, or is the boundary corner the more important move right now?
Dallas is a defense that prioritizes coverage and believes a strong boundary corner can unlock the rest of the system. While an edge rusher is valuable, the trade-off here is seen as more beneficial to the current scheme, because Porter improves the back end and makes the coverage-first approach viable, which in turn can free up other players and create opportunities for pressure without overcommitting to the front.
Cody Alexander from MatchQuarters joins the show to discuss the Joey Porter Jr trade to the Cowboys
Q: What's the difference between boundary and field corners, and what are you looking for in the right boundary corner versus a field corner?
The difference hinges on where the top receiver lines up and how you structure isolation. A boundary corner is expected to play tighter man, manage the boundary, and handle specific route combinations while the field corner may see more movement and different matchups. In practice you want a boundary defender who can handle press, stay with top receivers in space, and allow the rest of the scheme (like zone looks) to operate with defined help and awareness.
Hour 2: Cody Alexander talks Joey Porter Jr trade and John Lopez previews Cowboys-Texans
Q: What is the core difference between boundary and field corners, and why does it matter for this trade?
The boundary corner typically handles the most isolated matchups on the edge, enabling the defense to devote resources elsewhere and allowing the backend to operate with clearer communication; Porter's strength in man coverage at the boundary should stabilize the unit and unlock more versatile front-end looks.

Q: What did Brian Schottenheimer say about the final sequence and game management?
He took responsibility for the late sequence, explained that he over-coached Dak, and emphasized that the decisions would not be repeated, signaling a shift in approach and accountability.
