Locked On Cowboys - Daily Podcast On The Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders are both 0-1, making this NFC East clash as close to a must-win Week 2 game as it gets. Can Dak Prescott exploit Washington’s secondary, or will the Commanders’ pass rush finally create the takeaways it seeks?

Marcus Mosher examines whether Christian Parker can steady a Cowboys defense that surrendered 28 points on just seven Giants possessions, while David Harrison breaks down David Blough’s evolving offense, Washington’s outside-zone success, and Jayden Daniels’ balance between passing and running. 

The discussion covers Frankie Luvu’s uncertain status, Dorrance Armstrong’s return to Dal...

The Dallas Cowboys may have gone too far protecting their defense in the preseason. Did skipping live reps contribute to the Week 1 miscommunications against the Giants, and should Brian Schottenheimer change course before next season?

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool examine the Cowboys’ preseason strategy, including Caleb Downs’ limited action, the defensive alignment breakdown involving Quinnen Williams and Donovan Ezeiruaku, and whether key backups like P.J. Locke needed more snaps. 

They also explain why linebacker remains a league-wide problem, assess DeMarvion Overshown and Dee Winters in Christian Parker’s scheme, and debate Jake Ferguson’s declini...

The Cowboys’ defense got out-schemed, out of position, and pushed into a dangerous early-season tightrope. 

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool break down Dallas’ loss to the Giants, examining the breakdowns in zone coverage, an ineffective four-man pass rush, and linebackers Overshown and Dee Winters struggling in space.

Should the Cowboys blitz more to protect their secondary? The hosts analyze Caleb Downs’ impact, the defense’s 53.8% blitz success rate, and why bend-but-don’t-break football won’t work with an offense that needs possessions. 

They also assess Tyler Guyton’s encouraging performance at tackle, Terence Steele’s pass pr...

The new-look Cowboys defense did not look good at all, as the Giants dominated on SNF 28-20. Coach Glenn 'Stretch' Smith and Jeff Biggs break it down.

The Dallas Cowboys were embarrassed by the New York Giants in a 28-20 Sunday Night Football loss, exposing problems that look far bigger than a Week 1 stumble. 

Why did Dallas get pushed around at the line of scrimmage, fail to stop Tyrone Tracy Jr., and surrender the worst defensive performance of Week 1 by EPA per drive?

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool break down Brian Schottenheimer’s conservative fourth-down decision, Dallas’ slow offensive starts, missed tackles, loose zone coverage, and a pass rush that recorded only two pressures on 20 four-man rushes. 

The di...

Christian Parker’s defensive debut could define the Dallas Cowboys’ Week 1 identity. Can the new scheme stop the New York Giants’ heavy personnel, control the run on early downs, and force rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart into mistakes?

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool preview the Sunday night matchup, examining Caleb Downs’ hybrid defensive back role, 

Malik Nabers’ game-time status, and whether Isaiah Likely, running backs, and tight ends become the Giants’ passing-game focus. 

They also break down John Harbaugh’s likely eight-man boxes, Brian Schottenheimer’s need to start fast, and how CeeDee Lamb and George Pi...

The New York Giants aim to end the Dallas Cowboys’ primetime dominance in a Sunday Night Football opener packed with uncertainty. 

Patricia Traina and Marcus Mosher examine John Harbaugh’s new-look Giants, Jackson Dart’s role under center, Malik Nabers’ availability, and a revamped ground game featuring Isaiah Likely and Patrick McCord.

The Cowboys face a major offensive-line challenge with All-Pro left guard Tyler Smith sidelined, while Brian Burns and Abdul-Carter test Tyler Guyton and Terence Steele. 

Key battles include CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens against the Giants’ cornerbacks, Quinnen Williams and...

Tyler Smith’s absence could lower the Dallas Cowboys’ ceiling, but it may not sink their offense. 

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool assess the offensive line after Smith’s expected multi-week absence, examining TJ Bass’s readiness, the danger of another injury, and how Dallas can use a balanced run-pass attack to protect its remaining starters.

Can Ryan Flournoy become the efficient...

The Dallas Cowboys could leap into the NFL’s top 12 defenses in 2026, but can Christian Parker transform last year’s flawed unit this quickly? 

Landon McCool explains how improved run defense, Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark inside, better coverage rotations, and pressure packages could raise the defense’s floor.

Marcus Mosher makes an even bolder George Pickens prediction: a potential 1,500-yard season, NFL-leading touchdown production, and consensus top-five receiver status.

The discussion covers Pickens’ continuity with Dak Prescott, his contract-year motivation, CeeDee Lamb’s coverage gravity, and his matchup potential against the New York Gi...

The Dallas Cowboys opened nearly $19 million in cap space, raising a bigger question: are they preparing for a trade, or protecting their 2027 roster? 

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool examine restructures for Kenny Clark, DaRon Bland, and Jake Ferguson, plus potential targets such as Max Crosby and Christian Gonzalez.

The discussion also explores whether Dallas should extend Dak Prescott to create as much as $40 million in 2026 cap room, the risks of pushing money into his late-30s, and what Dak’s health could mean for the Cowboys’ competitive window. 

Plus, Tyler Smith’...

The Dallas Cowboys could be more than a 12-win regular-season team. 

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool explain why stronger play in the middle, featuring Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, Tyler Booker, and Tyler Smith, gives Dallas more ways to win and a better chance to survive physical games.

The discussion turns to the Cowboys’ most important non-starters, including versatile offensive lineman T.J. Bass and defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard. Can Bullard return in time to protect the defensive line’s depth?

The Dallas Cowboys’ 53-man roster is set, but key questions remain before Week 1. 

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool examine whether the team needs another veteran cornerback, which players sit closest to the roster bubble, and how Caelen Carson, Camden Brown, Tyrus Wheat, and Ameer Speed fit into the plan. Can Dallas build an average defense in 2026? 

The discussion covers Caleb Downs’ impact, PJ Locke’s contract, Malachi Lawrence’s immediate role, linebacker depth, Markquese Bell’s potential dime-package usage, and Christian Parker’s influence on tackling and discipline.

The Dallas Cowboys raise the floor of their running back room by claiming Emari Demercado and moving on from Jaydon Blue. Is the veteran’s pass protection, special teams value, and familiarity with Klayton Adams’ system more important than explosive upside?

The Cowboys’ running back room looks thinner on paper, but should Dallas fans really be worried? Marcus Mosher and Zain Dhanani (Fantasy Life) explain why Javonte Williams and Malik Davis can handle the workload, why a third running back may rarely see the field, and why a veteran addition might not change the outlook. 

Ryan Flournoy could become a major factor in Dallas’ passing game, with his separation, versatility, and yards-after-catch ability pushing him toward a 600- to 700-yard season and possibly the offense’ third-target role behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. 

The discussion also examines...

The Dallas Cowboys cut Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah, leaving Javonte Williams and Malik Davis as the only running backs on the initial 53-man roster. Did Dallas make a calculated bet on the waiver wire, or leave a major roster hole before Week 1?

The discussion examines how practice reps outweigh a single preseason game, why the 53-man roster is less final than it sounds, and how practice-squad depth shapes the season.
