Show Notes

Episode 242: The Cowboys are already facing a MUST-WIN game, and Washington knows exactly where to attack them.

Voch Lombardi and Bryan Broaddus break down whether Christian Parker can get the Cowboys’ defense back on track after an ugly Week 1 performance. The guys dive into the major questions at linebacker, whether Shemar James deserves a bigger role, and why Dallas has to prove it can stop the run before Washington—and every other team on the schedule—attacks the same weakness. Then it’s a full breakdown of Jayden Daniels and the Washington offense. Can the Cowboys take advantage of Washington’s offensive tackles without losing contain on Daniels? How will Dallas handle Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs and Washington’s tight ends? And after getting bullied by the Giants, can this defense survive another offense built to test them with the run, motion and multiple tight-end looks?

Dallas needs a response—and this week could tell us a LOT about whether Week 1 was just a bad day or the beginning of a much bigger problem.

Episode 266: Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi dig into how the Cowboys should reshape their secondary if Cobie Durant is able to return against Philadelphia.

Episode 264: The film points to a tougher truth: the Cowboys had answers against Green Bay, and abandoned them.
