The Dallas Cowboys continue to battle injury issues and the prevailing themes of the first six weeks are coming to a head.

Now we have something to talk about.

Early injuries, idiots who run over team owners, long shots getting cut and a slew of young quarterbacks looking to make their mark. The 2019 season is upon us and the NFC East is as interesting as ever! Season 5 Premiere and Catch This Fade expands to NFC East coverage. With beat writers covering the Cowboys, Eagles, Giants and Washington, K.D. Drummond hosts a roundup of the latest news from the best division in football.  Joined by Patrik Walker, Emory Hunt, Lake Lewis and Glenn Erby, this star-studded line-up keeps the action going and keeps you locked in for the razor-sharp fade!

The Cowboys haven't dipped their toes into the free agency market just yet, but their fans sure have. The free agency frenzy set the markets for both safeties and slot receivers in a major way. How does that impact what Earl Thomas and Cole Beasley could expect to get, and how will it affect whether or not the Cowboys will be in on the bidding? Catch This Fade checks in from Free Agency's first day!

Friday editions of Catch This Fade round out the barbershop talk. After destroying a couple bad narratives about what the Dallas Cowboys must do during the 2019 NFL draft, K.D. Drummond and guest Landon McCool turn their attention to the fun and difficult parts of fatherhood. How do you properly submerge your kids into the Dallas Cowboys culture? And why does it have to be so life-altering to get a solid education for your young ones? Take a trip through all of it, from Jason Witten's return to Randy Gregory's suspension, from KD3's "Go Cowboys!" to moving because of public schools. No show runs the gamut like Catch This Fade.

The 2019 NFL combine is over and now it's time to sift through the rubble and figure out what all of the poking, prodding and drilling actually means. K.D. Drummond and Jonah Tuls go through some key results for players the Cowboys could be targeting with their first pick in the 2019 NFL draft and comb over who impressed and who had such horrific athletic displays that evaluators have to be wondering if there was something medically wrong.Find out how much weight should be put into the combine results, who was a riser, and who is making people go back and pour through hours of tape to see what they missed. Which prospects had bad enough performances that they had to Catch This Fade!?

Last year, we had the chance to talk with Jason Witten. At the time, he was just one week into what would turn out to be just a one-year stint as the analyst on ESPN's Monday Night Football. In this candid talk we discussed: * Leaving the team in the middle of the draft * Walking away from the game without a championship ring * Thoughts on the Cowboys passing game, which struggled out the gate * Cole Beasley's importance * Need to get Elliott involved in passing game (Image from USA Today Sports © Aaron Doster)

The one podcast you need to guide your offseason! Dallas doesn't have anything they desperately must have to be competitive, but they have numerous needs if they want to take the next step from playoff team to championship caliber. We go through the positions that need the most help heading into the offseason, handicap whether they would be better as free agency fills or in the draft, and talk about the overall picture.

The Cowboys No. 1 wideout calls in to discuss a myriad of things about his game and the time with the Cowboys. We discuss chemistry with Dak Prescott, his favorite routes and how the hell he gets so damn wide open all the time. Also, what's the latest on his contract negotiations with the club, does he have any clue what Kellen Moore has in store for him and what would happen if he ever received the kind of volume receivers like Julio Jones and DeAndre Hopkins see. It's all pre-empted by a wide-ranging discussion about the Cowboys 2019 needs at the wide receiver position. Buckle up because there's plenty of intel crammed into 15 minutes. Catch This Fade!

It's not their faults, not at all, but there are two draft prospects whose hype machine has forced a large portion of the draft community to have to Catch This Fade! K.D. Drummond is joined for the first of several draft podcasts this offseason by NFL Draft analyst Jonah Tuls and the range of topics covered is dizzying. From first-round grades vs first-round slots to which positions are deep early and which ones will still have starting-quality talent once Dallas hits the clock at No. 58. Which two Cowboys should slide inside and make room for new blood? Get your toes wet in the 2019 draft season the best way known... dive right in and Catch This Fade.

After the catastrophe of an offensive showing during the Pro Bowl, Jason Garrett's staff should've had to walk home to Dallas. At least according to some fans. K.D. Drummond is joined by Patrik Walker as the two dissect the foolishness of caring one iota about an all-star game, dive into Tony Romo's admission he'll coach one day and what he had to say about the pending offense, coordinated by hipster Kellen Moore. All this and more on the first episode of a brand new season of Catch This Fade!

Another road game, another disaster loss for the Dallas Cowboys. This one came with a twist, though, as Dallas owner Jerry Jones went out and grabbed himself a No. 1 receiver soon after the game was over. KD and Patrik go to work in breaking down how Amari Cooper can help Dallas' offense now that he's been brought in from Oakland. Of course, we fine-tooth the transaction, as well as the reasons why the Cowboys continue to struggle, handing out well-deserved fades to many. Sit back, tune in and laugh as Catch The Fade drops that science.

K.D. Drummond and Patrik Walker offer zero diplomatic immunity in dissecting all of the parts of the Dallas organization which have failed in their quest to present Cowboys Nation with a watchable product. So in this episode, everybody gets it. There might not be enough shears in the barbershop for all these folks to Catch This Fade!

The Cowboys emerged from Week 2 with a win, but some people (read Patrik Walker) aren't impressed by the offensive output. Conservative on purpose? Then K.D. Drummond goes in on Sean Lee and his latest injury. You know someone has to Catch This Fade!

The Cowboys took a right hook to the chin last week, but they'll need to bounce back in a hurry. In Week 2, the New York Giants come to town and 0-2 could be a death sentence for either squad. Which matchups will decide the game? Who deserves to Catch a Fade for Week 1? Get it all in right here at the Cowboys Barbershop. Be prepared to Catch This Fade!

The Cowboys are preparing to start their regular season, but the moves to get down to the first roster were so wild, unorganized and unprecedented, KD Drummond and Patrik Walker are still reeling from the madness.  How will it impact the season? Step into the barber's chair and Catch This Fade!

You know who they are... always on the stage, always in the videos... dancing... COME TO DEATH ROW! Oh, sorry... We're going Suge Knight on all the Rico Gathers Stans in the latest episode of Catch This Fade.. both those that won't let go of his potential and the other side of the coin. But first K.D. and Patrik are excited about the newest revelations about the Cowboys defensive line and what kind of potential it presents for the 2018 season. Welcome to the Cowboys' barbershop. Take a seat and Catch This Fade!

The route runner who's catching everything, the down-line tackle willing to fight Travis Frederick, the free agent JAG fighting to stay relevant... Who should fans be watching during the preseason? There are battles everywhere for playing time and in some cases there's a real fight for the final roster spots. The preseason will show which of these standouts is able to translate camp practice performance into the real thing at game time.  If not... they better be prepared to Catch This Fade!

With training camp just a week away, the Catch This Fade hosts take to Twitter to find out what the fans are concerned about on the precipice of the new season. K.D. and Patrik solicited questions that took them on a wide-ranging path around the Dallas Cowboys question marks. First and foremost, how does the wide receiver position stack up in a world no longer populated with Dez Bryant? Who gets first crack at filling his shoes? They also dive into which positions the Cowboys would be willing to go light in as they dive into the numbers game and using the practice squad, while also trying to get a firmer grip on the linebacker rotation and how well they'll be able to use all of their pedigreed assets. Sit down, buckle your seatbelt and prepare for another great episode of Catch This Fade!

They may look nothing alike, but these Cowboys stars can certainly see a sharp reflection of themselves in these legends of rap and hip hop. In the latest episode of Catch This Fade, KD and Patrik span almost 30 years of the culture to find the perfect comparison for current and recent Cowboys players. Who has earned the right to be compared to Eminem, Snoop, Jay Z, NWA, 2Pac, Nas and other legends of the game? Who do Terrance Williams, Jourdan Lewis, Tyron Smith and Sean Lee remind us of? What better way to spend the July 4 holiday then to talk Cowboys and music? Well, we got one… combine them. Tune in for the latest iconic episode of Catch This Fade!

It feels like Dallas has to make the playoffs for this team to stay together. KD and Patrik get an early jump on creating a watchlist of candidates to replace Jason Garrett as coach of the Cowboys if things go south. As usual the two can't agree on much, even the names they actually do agree on. Check out the mix of college coaches, retreads and up and coming assistants who should be on Dallas' radar.

KD and Patrik return to the debate table to have dueling Top 5 comps between Marvel (MCU) Avengers and members of the Dallas Cowboys. The two hosts share a love for both and look at the strengths and weaknesses of the comic book characters and assign them to those who don the star. Of course, KD and Patrik don't agree on much except for the fact that each of them is always right. It's another heated exchange of hot take volleys centered around America's Team.

With the NFL draft now less than a week away, there's no time for the dilly-dally. Catch This Fade! Podcast returns to the airwaves as K.D. Drummond and Patrik Walker breakdown the pros and cons of the consensus(?) eight likely targets for the Dallas Cowboys for the No. 19 pick in the draft's first round. From positional importance to which player would have the biggest cascading impact on the rest of the team, from drinking games with biblical figures to Kendrick Lamar performances, CTF covers it all, as usual. Sit back, relax and get you some opinionated intel as you can only get in your favorite barbershop chair. Come Catch This Fade!

In Part 1, K.D. and Pat debated on whether or not the Cowboys should say goodbye to Rod Marinelli and whether they should force Dez to take a paycut. In part 2 they examine how the team is using Ezekiel Elliott, what to do about the linebacker position and what was the one thing that ruined everything about the 2017 season. Buckle up, ladies and gents... a whole lot of people are about to Catch This Fade!

When a season that started with Super Bowl aspirations ends before Week 17, someone is going to have to catch this fade. K.D. and Patrik start their offseason evaluation of what needs to change with the Dallas Cowboys. In this first of two parts, the dynamic duo operate under the belief owner Jerry Jones means it when he says Jason Garrett will return. If so, there does need to be a shakeup. The two hosts discuss whether that means jettisoning the defensive coordinator and whether the team's No. 1 wideout should take a paycut (which he says he won't) or be shown the door. There's a lot to discuss heading into the 2018 business season, and these are great places to start. It's time to Catch This Fade! (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)
