Locked On Cowboys - Daily Podcast On The Dallas Cowboys

Joey Porter Jr. or George Pickens? The Cowboys can afford both, but if Dallas must choose one long-term priority, Porter's case is compelling. 

The discussion weighs Porter’s ability to lock down the boundary, George Pickens’ explosive talent, CeeDee Lamb’s presence, contract strategy, franchise-tag options, and concerns about Pickens’ blocking and consistency.

The Cowboys’ stale run game also comes under scrutiny. Offensive-line execution, poor second-level blocking, limited motion, and an overreliance on inside and outside zone have stalled Javonte Williams and the rushing attack.

On defense, secondary injuries, communication busts, and a lack of c...

The Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys enter Sunday’s matchup desperate for a spark. Can Dallas avoid a 3-6 collapse, or will Indianapolis show enough fight to change the conversation around Shane Steichen?

The discussion examines Dallas’ need for explosive plays, a stronger run game, and early targets for George Pickens against Sauce Gardner. Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark must control the Colts’ offensive line, while Daniel Jones faces pressure to revive Indianapolis’ play-action passing game and stop the turnovers. 

Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Warren, and Josh Downs could exploit a Cowboys defense struggling against the run and o...

The Dallas Cowboys need a coaching reset and a more aggressive offensive identity before the season slips away. 

Marcus Mosier and Landon McCool examine whether Brian Schottenheimer can lead the turnaround, why Jerry Jones may need to invest in an experienced coaching staff, and how Dan Quinn, Mike Zimmer, and Mike McCarthy fit into the bigger picture.

Where have the explosive plays gone? The discussion breaks down Dallas’ inconsistent run game, George Pickens’ reduced opportunities, CeeDee Lamb’s defensive attention, and the Cowboys’ conservative approach against the blitz. 

Dak Prescott’s decision-m...

The Cowboys’ week-to-week inconsistency reached a breaking point in their Week 8 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Why did Dallas abandon motion, play-action, outside runs, and creative run concepts for a predictable inside-zone attack, even against a depleted Cardinals secondary?

The discussion examines Dak Prescott’s limited fourth-quarter production, a Cowboys offense that ran 40 times for 2.4 yards per carry, and defensive breakdowns that turned a strong first half into another collapse.

 Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, Von Miller, James Houston, Tyler Smith, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens all factor into the analysis, along with repeated misse...

The Dallas Cowboys blew a 14-point lead and fell 33-30 to the injury-riddled Arizona Cardinals. How did Gardner Minshew, Tyler Allgeier, and a depleted offense expose Dallas after halftime?

The breakdown examines the Cowboys’ historically poor second-half defense, which allowed 0.9 EPA per play, surrendered 195 rushing yards to Cardinals running backs, and gave up back-to-back 50-yard runs.

The discussion also scrutinizes Christian Parker’s defense, coverage breakdowns, missed gap assignments, and Quinnen Williams’ individual impact. 

On offense, Dallas ran 39 times for 93 yards, yet its running backs managed only 70 yards on 31 carries with no gain lo...

The Dallas Cowboys’ Halloween boogeyman is back: Arizona has won eight of the teams’ last nine meetings. Can Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and a revamped offensive line finally end the streak, or will Jacoby Brissett and the Arizona Cardinals strike again?

The conversation examines Dallas’ defensive coaching concerns, Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark’s matchup against Arizona’s injury-hit offensive line, and whether Jeremiyah Love can provide the speed and short-area explosiveness the Cardinals’ offense needs.

The Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line finally delivered the dominant performance envisioned when the team invested three first-round picks in Tyler Smith, Tyler Guyton, and Tyler Booker. 

Against the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas controlled the trenches, diversified its run concepts, and exposed light boxes with outside zone, trap, power, and pull-lead concepts. Can this rushing attack force defenses to change how they defend CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens?

The conversation breaks down Tyler Booker’s outstanding matchup against Jalen Carter, Broderick Jones’ impact as a sixth offensive lineman, and the Cowboys’ evolving linebacker rotation featuring DeMarvion...

The Dallas Cowboys answered with a 38-21 Monday Night Football win over the Philadelphia Eagles, but can this offense carry a defense still searching for answers?

The Dallas Cowboys face a must-win Week 7 showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles, and a loss could send their season into a tailspin. Can Dak Prescott exploit Philadelphia’s vulnerable safeties and depleted front seven?

The discussion breaks down Dallas’ offensive struggles, including Tyler Booker, Cooper Beebe, and Tyler Smith’s matchup with Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis. 

Attention also turns to Christian Parker’s defense, Tanner McKee’s limited Eagles offense, Saquon Barkley’s hamstring, and whether Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams can dominate an undermanned interior line.

With DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and...

George Pickens’ run-blocking effort sparks a debate: did Brian Schottenheimer really call out the Cowboys wide receiver, or simply identify a coaching point? 

The discussion breaks down Pickens’ impact on safeties and cornerbacks, his effort against Green Bay, and why the criticism feels mild compared with classic Bill Parcells-style accountability.

Javonte Williams’ role also comes under the microscope. The Cowboys running back excels in short-yardage, red-zone work, pass protection, and turning one-yard gains into three, but Dallas needs more explosive runs, a reliable RB2, and perhaps a late-round trade for Tony Pollard.

The NFC East is spiraling, and Eagles-Cowboys could determine which team stops the bleeding. At 2-4, Philadelphia and Dallas face a Monday Night Football showdown with major consequences for the division race, playoff hopes, and front-office plans.

The discussion spotlights CeeDee Lamb against the Eagles’ secondary, DeVonta Smith versus Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Carter’s chance to control the line of scrimmage...

George Pickens’ quiet stretches raise a bigger question for the Dallas Cowboys: why isn’t their explosive receiver getting more early-game targets? 

Marcus Mosher examines Pickens’ role alongside CeeDee Lamb, how two-high defensive shells are limiting Dallas, and whether Brian Schottenheimer needs more motion, shifts, and underneath concepts.

The Cowboys’ tight end problem also comes into focus, with Jake Ferguson’s struggles in space, Brevyn Spann-Ford’s rising snap count, and Dak Prescott’s diminished trust in the passing game. 

The discussion explores potential midseason trades involving Pickens, Ferguson, Terence Steele, Daron Bl...

The Dallas Cowboys’ run game has gone from disappointing to predictable. 

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool break down the All-22 film from the loss to the Green Bay Packers, examining why Javonte Williams is averaging just 5.2 yards per carry against light boxes and why the interior offensive line can’t create movement.

Dak Prescott also faces scrutiny after struggling against disguised pressure and blitzes.
