Is Week 4 Already A Must Win Game For The Dallas Cowboys?! + Houston Texans Breakdown | Doin’ Alright
Crown Global MediaShow Notes
Episode 251: The Cowboys have no time to dwell on their heartbreaking loss to Baltimore. On this episode of Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi preview a pivotal matchup against a desperate Houston Texans team while examining the growing pressure on Brian Schottenheimer to establish himself as a difference-making head coach. Dallas proved it can compete with a contender; now it must turn that promise into victories.
Attention then shifts to an injury-depleted Cowboys secondary. With Malik Hooker unlikely to play and Shavon Revel’s status uncertain, Bryan and Voch evaluate how Dallas should deploy Caleb Downs and DaRon Bland, along with what newcomers Alex Austin and Juanyeh Thomas could provide. DeMarvion Overshown’s potential return also creates an important linebacker decision, although Jaishawn Barham’s emergence has strengthened his claim to the Mike position.
Houston’s struggling offense presents an opportunity for the Cowboys’ defense to regain momentum. C.J. Stroud has faced constant pressure behind a vulnerable offensive line, but Nico Collins and Jaylin Noel remain serious threats to Dallas’ depleted coverage unit. Can Quinnen Williams control the interior, can the Cowboys finally generate consistent pressure off the edge, and can Dallas capitalize on a matchup it cannot afford to lose?

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. They debate whether Durant should ultimately play over DaRon Bland, how Dallas can get Caleb Downs out of the slot more often, and why Christian Parker may need to start moving Joey Porter Jr. around to prevent opposing offenses from simply avoiding him. With Porter emerging as one of the defense’s most dependable players, the guys also discuss whether cornerback — not pass rusher — should become Dallas’ priority at the trade deadline.
Episode 265: With the Cowboys sitting at 2-4 and their season approaching a critical stretch, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi debate when Dallas has to stop thinking like a contender and start thinking about the future. Bryan explains how a front office approaches the trade deadline when a season begins to slip away, including when teams start making calls around the league and letting other clubs know they may be “open for business.” The guys also identify the players they would consider untouchable and discuss what Dallas could realistically get back for valuable pieces on the roster.
Episode 34: The AP Poll might have officially lost the plot. Jacob Regh and Kevin Walker break down a chaotic new Top 25 after a wild weekend of college football, starting with the decision to rank Texas ahead of the Florida team that just beat them head-to-head. The guys debate whether wins, losses, résumé or preseason expectations actually matter anymore — because right now, the rankings don’t seem to follow any consistent logic.
Episode 264: The film points to a tougher truth: the Cowboys had answers against Green Bay, and abandoned them. On this episode of Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi explain why the defense’s struggles don’t excuse an offense that remained within striking distance, found success on the ground and still chose to put the game on Dak Prescott’s arm 50 times.
Episode 33: College football completely lost its mind this weekend. Jacob Regh and Kevin Walker break down Ohio State surviving Indiana in a heavyweight Big Ten battle, Florida stunning Texas in Austin and the growing questions surrounding Arch Manning, Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns’ offense. Is Sark holding Arch back — and could Manning ultimately be better off developing somewhere else?
