Week 1 Film Breakdown: What Went WRONG For The Cowboys In Their Loss To The Giants? | Doin’ Alright
Crown Global MediaShow Notes
Episode 241: The film doesn’t lie: Dallas’ defense was outmuscled, outmaneuvered, and out-schemed in its Week 1 loss. On Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi move past the frustration and expose what really went wrong—from Christian Parker’s defensive communication breakdowns to poor linebacker play and a pass rush that disappeared when the Cowboys needed it most.
Was DeMarvion Overshown miscast at Mike linebacker? Can Dee Winters and rookie Jaishawn Barham rebound, or should Dallas pursue help like Jordyn Brooks, Bobby Wagner, or even Maxx Crosby? The guys break down how the Giants used motion, option concepts, and outside-zone runs to manipulate the Cowboys’ eyes—and why one bad Cover 6 call summed up the entire afternoon.
There were positives, too. Tyler Guyton, T.J. Bass, Cooper Beebe, and Terrence Steele handled New York’s dangerous front better than expected, while Dak Prescott may have hurried himself despite solid protection. Plus, Bryan evaluates new running back Tyler Goodson and what his arrival means following Malik Davis’ season-ending injury.

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?
