Norm Hitzges is back, and he’s not sugarcoating a damn thing about the Dallas Cowboys’ upcoming season. In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm takes a long, hard look at the Micah Parsons-sized hole in the Cowboys’ defense and asks the question no one in Jerry World wants to hear: can Dak Prescott really carry this circus?

 

From a schedule that looks more like a punishment than a path to the playoffs, to an offensive line that inspires about as much confidence as a paper straw in a milkshake, Norm breaks it all down with his trademark wit and brutal honesty. He doesn’t stop at Dak either—Tyler Booker, Nate Thomas, Kenny Clark, and the special teams crew all get their moment under the microscope. And yes, even Jerry Jones gets a little free advice (spoiler: it’s about not treating the salary cap like Monopoly money).

 

It’s sharp, it’s funny, and it might sting a little if you’re a Cowboys optimist. But hey—this is Just Wondering, and Norm’s just saying what everyone else is too nervous to admit.
