The Cowboys have a new defensive coordinator as Christian Parker is leaving the rival Eagles to come to Dallas. Having coached under Vic Fangio, what might we expect from Parker? Is development of players first-and-foremost? He’s a young up-and-comer, but will his lack of experience be an issue? And will this change the Cowboys’ approach to free agency and the draft?

Will the Giants’ new head coach make things even tougher for the Cowboys? Likely so, which is just another reason why the team needs to find the right defensive coordinator. But will that be a savvy veteran or a young gun? Whoever it is, Jesse says there’s one thing he’s got to get right. Plus, what are the biggest differences between the current playoff teams and the Cowboys?

The fact Trevon Diggs was released wasn’t a big surprise, although when he got let go was a shock. But the acts of defiance got to be too much with the trip to Washington D.C. the last straw. Simply put, Diggs seemingly no longer wanted to be a Cowboy. We dive deeper into yesterday’s big news, plus look ahead to Sunday’s game.

So how many positions have big needs that need to be filled in 2026? Five? Six? More? Will they be able to fill those needs in one offseason? Are they at risk of spreading mediocracy throughout the team? Also, are the Cowboys hoping Jadeveon Clowney will be a rotational piece at defensive end next season or the main man? Plus, the trend toward tight ends, Dak’s day in Washington and more.

Who Plays? Who Doesn’t? With two games to go, should the Cowboys think about sitting players? Make sure Dak Prescott is healthy for next while letting Joe Milton get some experience? Or does that send the wrong message, especially for a team trying to rebuild its culture. As Nate tell us, losing can become a culture too. Plus, Jesse’s stat and our predictions.

It’s not coaches make players, right? So would a different defensive coordinator really produced different results? Perhaps, but probably not in a big way. Plus, could Tyler Smith moving to left tackle become permanent? Let’s hope not. He’s a Pro Bowl guard, after all. And has this team struggled to make in-game adjustments on offense as well? Where are the counterpunches?

It wasn’t that long ago that the Cowboys appeared to have the best cornerback combo in the NFL.

How are we watching the games now that the Cowboys will likely miss the playoffs? Want them to win? Lose to get a higher a draft pick? Plus, has Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert lived up to his billing? Can the Dallas defense slow him down? What about their receivers?

Don’t look now but the Chargers are coming to town with one of the best defenses in the league. And they’re physical. What can the Cowboys do to attack them? Will head coach Brian Schottenheimer be more aggressive? Will they try to get George Pickens more involved? Plus, could we see more opportunities for Dak Prescott to run? There just might be some openings there for the taking.

Just when we think the Cowboys are going to get on a roll, they instead stumble. What happened against the Vikings? No pressure on defense, no success on third downs, questionable coaching decisions. Is this team just not what we thought it would be? Dallas is on the brink of elimination after another disappointing performance.

The Cowboys have got to win the rest of their games to get in the playoffs. Does that add more pressure? Hey, if you can’t handle the heat, better get out of the kitchen, right? But do they know how to win? Do they have enough players who have made playoff runs before who can lead the way? Plus, Jesse’s key stat and our predictions.

Nate speaks out about what we’re all thinking – why aren’t there more Cowboys in the Hall of Fame? Or the Ring of Honor, for that matter? There are some deserving guys being left out. Plus, we get into the Minnesota offense. Is Justin Jefferson still the man? Better not sleep on him. And definitely don’t forget about Aaron Jones. About their quarterback, though …

Know what a cross-dog blitz is? You will if you listen. It’s all about creating confusion, and Minnesota likes to blitz more than any team in the NFL. But does that actually play into Dak Prescott’s hands? He’s been good under pressure. The Cowboys will also have to get the run game going behind Javontae Williams, which won’t be easy. Don't let their record fool you – the Vikings defense is a concern.
