Episode Details

Dallas Cowboys fall short of expectations, finishing 7-9-1 as defensive woes overshadow offensive firepower. Can Brian Schottenheimer turn things around, or will a shake-up on the coaching staff spark a new era in Dallas?

Marcus Mosher and Glenn Stretch Smith break down the highs and lows of the Cowboys' season, analyzing Schottenheimer’s performance, the emergence of playmakers like George Pickens and Javonte Williams, and the struggles under defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. 

The conversation heats up around offseason personnel moves, draft priorities on defense, and the pivotal role of assistants like Klayton Adams and Junior Adams in driving offensive success. Special teams also get scrutiny, with talk of a possible Bones Fossil reunion. Will the Cowboys’ gamble on staff changes pay off—or are bigger changes ahead before 2026 kickoff?
