The Big D Breakdown

The 2024 free agent running back class might be one of the best in years. With most now having found their new homes, teams like Dallas are looking to pick up what is left. The only real leftover name that has been linked to the Cowboys is ex-running back Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott, is the "ground and pound runner this offense is longing for, but a reunion wouldn't be in Dallas' best int...

This week we delve deep into the heart of the Cowboys' off-season maneuvers, with Jerry Jones's recent hint at an "all-in" strategy sparking both excitement and skepticism among the fanbase.

In this riveting episode, we delve into the recent showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles, a game that has stirred up significant controversy and introspection in the NFL community. Our focus is on the aftermath of the Cowboys' dominant performance, which not only led them to reclaim the top spot in the NFC East but also inflicted a demoralizing second consecutive loss...

The Dallas Cowboys have been on a roll, winning four consecutive games as they head into a crucial rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles. This streak comes after a challenging phase where the Cowboys faced tough losses, including a narrow defeat to the Eagles and a significant setback against the 49ers. Despite these hurdles, the team has rallied, showcasing notable performances from several pla...

In this exhilarating episode, we dive into the Dallas Cowboys' dominant victory over the Washington Commanders in the much-anticipated Thanksgiving Day game. The Cowboys, showcasing their prowess, turned a 20-10 halftime advantage into a staggering 45-10 win, including a phenomenal 25-point fourth quarter. Listeners will get an in-depth analysis of Dak Prescott's impressive performance, in...

Ever since losing to the Eagles a couple of weeks ago, the Dallas Cowboys have been on a roll. They steamrolled the New York Giants 49-17 and then headed to Charlotte to take on the Carolina Panthers. Dallas had another lopsided win, taking out Carolina 33-10. Honestly, that score should have been an even larger spread given how much better Dallas is than Carolina. Throw in all the costly penaltie...

If the Dallas Cowboys could face New York teams every week, they would be a force. They kicked off the 2023 campaign with a 40-0 win over the New York Giants on the road. They then hosted the New York Jets in Week 2 and handed them a 30-10 defeat. In Week 10, they again faced off with the Giants, this time hosting their NFC East rival. New York was dealing with a lot of injuries, which left them w...

I think it's clear at this point that the Dallas Cowboys need to keep giving more and more snaps to guys like Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin as opposed to Michael Gallup. The ineffectiveness when Gallup is on the field has simply gone on too long for the Cowboys. Yes, they're paying him a good amount of money, but when the passing game is rolling like it was for much of the game against...

In this episode, we break down the Dallas Cowboys' red zone struggles against the New England Patriots, with a focus on the miscommunication between Dak Prescott and Tony Pollard. As the Cowboys' offense shows signs of revival with a CeeDee Lamb touchdown, the spotlight shines on Mike McCarthy and his questionable play calls. Fans express their dissatisfaction, especially following a rough...

In this hard-hitting episode, we dissect the shocking defeat of the Dallas Cowboys at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals, a game that saw the Cowboys fall 28-16, despite entering as considerable 12.5 point favorites. With an abundance of penalties and a seeming disconnect in the red zone, we delve deep into what went awry for the Cowboys and explore the critical reactions of the fans and players a...

That's a tough call on Franklin-Myers, who hit Prescott only where his momentum would allow him while being dragged down by Terence Steele. There's nothing Franklin-Myers could have done, but he hit Prescott low and the NFL has tried in earnest to remove that play from the game altogether. If anything, hate the rule. By no means did the Jets pass rusher "rough" the passer. Perhaps...

The Cowboys are back for another season and on Sunday Night, they made a statement after annihilating the New York Giants. The Cowboys defense was all over the Giants offense.

Overall, the Dallas Cowboys front office has done a decent job of building their roster in recent years. They've avoided signing over-priced free agents and have done well in the NFL Draft. That doesn't mean they're without fault — and we can see the way they've overpaid in-house players such as Ezekiel Elliott as an example. While we won't be looking at that deal (since it&#39...

The running back position will be heavily scrutinized throughout training camp and preseason. If the Cowboys don’t like what they see from the current options behind Tony Pollard, they would be wise to have a Plan B in place. That backup plan could very well be a familiar face, Ezekiel Elliott. He may no longer be the RB he once was, however, he would be an excellent backup who would complement Po...

 In this episode, we discuss the Dallas Cowboys' impressive offseason moves and their pursuit of the final puzzle piece to complete their roster. The Cowboys made significant moves, re-signing key defensive players and securing the services of their defensive coordinator, Dan Quinn. They also acquired Brandin Cooks and Stephon Gilmore via trades and bolstered their defense through the draft....

The Dallas Cowboys made eight selections in the 2023 NFL Draft. Fans speculated whether the team would trade down at a certain point in the name of compiling more equity, but they actually traded up in the fifth round to nab corner Eric Scott Jr. after they drafted offensive lineman Asim Richards nine picks earlier. In a vacuum, Dallas filled all of their needs in the draft. Fans can debate whethe...

The Dallas Cowboys are a team with a rich history of success, but in recent years, they've struggled to make it to the Super Bowl.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the Cowboys' strategy for the upcoming season. Historically,...

The Cowboys just allowed 19 points to the 49ers and lost. If we were all told the 49ers were slotted for that figure pre-game, confidence would be pretty high. However, the Cowboys' offense just played one of their worst games of the season. It is truly a brutal way to end the season, especially for how the game felt through the first three quarters. They had opportunities, they had the lead,...

The Cowboys end up losing a close one in OT against the Green Bay Packers. At times it appeared that the Cowboys may hand the Packers a loss, but because of undisciplined players, a number of penalties kept allowing the Cowboys to score points and eventually secure the win.
