Beat writers Calvin Watkins and Michael Gehlken kick off this episode [1:45] with a recap of the debacle in D.C. and what it portends for Monday’s playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Cowboys’ recent weaknesses showed in a big way against the Commanders. Can the Cowboys straighten out their running game or find a starting cornerback opposite Trevon Diggs? Can Dak Prescott curb his interceptions streak? Time is running out. On a positive note, [9:40] the guys explain how the Cowboys are getting healthy at the right time, with the expected returns of Johnathan Hankins and Leighton Vander Esch. Michael says the recent play of Chauncey Golston and Osa Odighizuwa is encouraging. In our featured segment, [19:45] Calvin and Michael interview Babe Laufenberg of the Cowboys Radio Network. Babe, a former Cowboys quarterback himself, says he’s not too worried about Prescott’s interceptions. To close the episode, [39:42] the crew answers a listener question about Micah Parsons’ usage at defensive end vs. linebacker and offers predictions for Monday night.
