Episode Details

The Dallas Cowboys eye a linebacker transformation—could Jacob Rodriguez or CJ Allen be the answer at pick 20? With intriguing draft options and free agency looming, the team's strategy sparks debate about athleticism, coverage skills, and scheme fit. Is the old-school Mike linebacker making a comeback, or will a versatile, instinctual playmaker rise to the occasion? 

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool break down Rodriguez's staggering production at Texas Tech, Allen's rare power for Dallas’ gap-and-a-half system, and Anthony Hill’s blazing speed but inconsistent instincts from Texas. The hosts highlight how Christian Parker's defensive scheme impacts these prospects, drawing comparisons to Nick Bolton and Carson Schwesinger.

Insightful discussions center on coverage liabilities, run-stopping skills, and whether Dallas can avoid being targeted by offensive masterminds like Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay. Are the Cowboys’ linebacker solutions already within reach, or will draft day bring surprises?
