Episode Details

Veteran special teams captain C.J. Goodwin is retiring after 12 NFL seasons, leaving a glaring void on the Cowboys’ unit — but his exit might be exactly what the team needed. At 36, his performance last year wasn’t up to par, and with his jersey already handed to a rookie, it’s clear it’s time to move on. The real story here? The Cowboys’ special teams struggled mightily last season — ranked 24th overall, plagued by avoidable penalties, and with no players making PFF’s top 100. Beyond Goodwin, key contributors like Brevyn Spann-Ford and Markquese Bell underperformed or cost the team with penalties. The Cowboys kept their special teams coordinator, but the numbers don’t lie — fixing this unit is now a critical priority for their future success.
