The Dallas Cowboys Weaknesses EXPOSED In Week 1 Loss To The Giants | Doin’ Alright
Crown Global MediaShow Notes
Episode 240: The Cowboys just got PUNCHED IN THE MOUTH by the Giants—and the film might be even uglier than the final score.
Voch Lombardi and Bryan Broaddus break down Dallas’ embarrassing loss to New York, including a defense that got out-physicaled at the line of scrimmage, linebackers that struggled to get off blocks and fit the run, and repeated communication mistakes that allowed the Giants to control the game. They dive into why Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and the defensive front failed to take advantage of favorable matchups, what went wrong against Jackson Dart and New York’s 21 personnel, and why Christian Parker has some serious adjustments to make.
On the other side of the ball, how much blame belongs on Dak Prescott and the offense? The guys break down George Pickens’ costly drop, Dallas’ inability to create explosive plays, the struggles in the running game, and why the offense simply didn’t get enough opportunities with New York controlling the football.
Plus, DeMarvion Overshown and Malik Hooker’s injuries create even more questions at linebacker and safety. It’s only Week 1, but with Washington up next and the possibility of starting 0-2 in the division, the Cowboys have a LOT to fix—and they need to fix it fast.

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?
