SportsDay Cowboys

Beat writers Calvin Watkins and Michael Gehlken go straight to the main event, [1:55] kicking off this episode with a preview of the highly anticipated Cowboys-Eagles matchup on Christmas Eve. [1:55] The Cowboys are dealing with adversity (and injury) after blowing a late lead to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Who will start at cornerback opposite Trevon Diggs? The crew examines the options. [6:50] The guys also discuss the differences between Eagles QBs Jalen Hurts, an MVP candidate, and Gardner Minshew, his backup who is expected to start Saturday. [10:18] And how worried should Cowboys fans be about Dak Prescott’s interceptions? Michael says he’s not concerned in the slightest. Calvin explains how some of these turnovers are the product of bad luck. In our featured segment, [16:08] Calvin and Michael interview John Clark from NBC 10 in Philadelphia about all things “Dallas week,” as it’s referred to in Philly. John explains what this rivalry means to Eagles fans, who he says are often more happy about a Cowboys loss than a Philly victory. [29:20] We close the show by fielding questions from our listeners. Which players could return from injured reserve this season? Are Prescott’s recent struggles because he holds the ball too long?
