Episode 272: Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi dig into where the Cowboys go from here after another frustrating loss, beginning with the biggest question surrounding the coaching staff. The guys look back at Jerry Jones’ history of making changes in season and debate whether Brian Schottenheimer has too much on his plate as both head coach and offensive play caller. With the offense still capable of producing points but continuing to make costly situational mistakes, they discuss whether Dallas should change Schottenheimer’s responsibilities, adjust the defensive play calling under Christian Parker, or even consider turning things over to Mike Pettine.

The conversation then expands to the bigger organizational issues. Bryan and Voch question why the Cowboys have moved away from motion and other concepts that have previously made the offense successful, while also examining the front office’s struggles to draft and develop defensive talent. On the field, they break down the problems against the run, DaRon Bland’s continued struggles opposite Joey Porter Jr., the lack of consistent pass rush and whether Dallas needs a more explosive running back. They close by asking whether Dak Prescott can realistically carry this team without a dependable running game and why the level of quarterbacks succeeding against the Cowboys defense has become one of the most alarming parts of the season.

Episode 47: Is it time for the Cowboys to move on from Dak Prescott—and give him a chance to win somewhere else? After Dallas blows a 14-point lead in a 33–30 overtime loss to Arizona, The Stack crew tackles the uncomfortable question: has this team reached the point where another roster addition won’t fix it? Zach makes the case for exploring a Dak trade, finding a contender he’d waive his no-trade clause for, and finally embracing a rebuild.

This conversation goes deeper than the quarterback. From Brian Schottenheimer’s conservative decisions to an offense that can’t close games and a defense that can’t hold on, the same failures keep resurfacing. Has Dallas wasted too much of Dak’s career—and would a fresh start be the best move for both sides?

Episode 271: Dallas held a double-digit fourth-quarter lead at home against a struggling Arizona team—and still couldn’t finish the job. On this episode of Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi examine how the Cowboys’ collapse exposed a much larger problem: undisciplined execution, poor situational football and no dependable plan when the game reaches its most important moments.

The film reveals an offense that couldn’t sustain its running game, struggled to create opportunities for its playmakers and ended a critical overtime possession with the all-too-familiar sequence of run, tipped pass and sack. Bryan and Voch question Brian Schottenheimer’s preparation, his inability to adjust when the original plan fails and an offensive design that made life harder for Dak Prescott than Arizona did for backup quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Defensively, missed tackles, coverage busts and communication breakdowns allowed Trey McBride and Michael Wilson to help erase Dallas’ lead. The guys assign responsibility across the coaching staff and roster, revisit Jerry Jones’ claim that the offense is Dallas’ best defense and debate whether trades, major staff changes—or even an early look toward the draft—must now enter the conversation.

Episode 37: Week 9 gave us another reminder that nobody in college football is safe. Jacob Regh and Kevin Walker break down Indiana surviving Minnesota in overtime despite a quarterback change, Miami getting pushed to the limit by North Carolina and USC handing Ohio State a massive loss with the Buckeyes forced to turn to their backup quarterback. Is Ohio State’s season suddenly in serious trouble — and does Miami really look like the best team in the country?

The guys also dive into Georgia taking care of Florida, Texas Tech surviving Arizona behind a new quarterback and dominant rushing attack, and Oklahoma State’s defense completely falling apart against Iowa State. Plus, Boise State survives an absolute shootout with Texas State, BYU escapes another shaky performance, Texas puts together one of its more complete wins of the season and the guys look ahead to a massive slate of ranked matchups — and the first College Football Playoff rankings.

Episode 270: Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi look ahead to the Cowboys’ matchup with Arizona and dig into whether Dallas can build on the physical offensive approach it showed against Philadelphia. The guys discuss why the commitment to the run appears to have been part of the plan all week, how the offensive line and heavier personnel can help Dallas maintain that identity, and whether Brian Schottenheimer will stay patient with the ground game once defenses start loading the box and bringing pressure. They also examine how much George Pickens matters to that equation, because if Dallas is going to keep safeties occupied and create favorable looks for the run game, Pickens has to become more than a slant and comeback receiver.

The conversation also turns to several major questions on defense. Bryan and Voch discuss whether Kenny Clark should see fewer snaps, how Jonathan Bullard’s return could strengthen the defensive tackle rotation and whether Dallas should experiment with Jaishawn Barham as a situational edge rusher. They also revisit the linebacker room, arguing that James Houston deserves opportunities over Von Miller and examining why the Cowboys still cannot consistently get off the field on third down. Later, the guys debate whether Christian Parker’s defense is actually developing, how much coaching can overcome personnel limitations and what Dallas still needs to prove before anyone should feel comfortable about this unit.

Episode 36: The transfer portal could get WILD this offseason. In the first solo edition of The Walk-Ons, Jacob breaks down seven players who should seriously consider making a move, including Bryce Underwood, Jesse Legree, Mississippi State’s star quarterback and, of course, Arch Manning. Is Texas actually the best place for Arch to develop — or is it finally time for him to find a new offense and start over somewhere else?

Then it’s time to dive into Week 9. Texas Tech gets a dangerous home matchup against Arizona, Florida heads to Athens for a huge showdown with Georgia, BYU looks to bounce back, Utah faces a tough road test at Cincinnati and Ohio State enters its first game without its starting quarterback. Plus, Texas gets another chance to wake up against Mississippi State, Miami and Oklahoma State try to keep their playoff hopes alive, and the official Week 9 picks are locked in.

Episode 269: Is Dallas’ defense being failed by its new coordinator—or is the uncomfortable truth that the Cowboys simply don’t have enough difference-makers? On this episode of Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi revisit their preseason expectations, separate scheme problems from injuries and roster construction, and confront the unit’s biggest issue: a pass rush that still can’t win consistently. They also examine the latest injury news and the potential lineup changes at linebacker and in the secondary.

Then it’s a full Arizona preview. Bryan and Voch explain why the Cardinals’ disguises, overloads and pressure looks could recreate Dallas’ worst protection problems—and why the answer may be brutally simple: stay committed to the run and turn the physical ground game displayed against Philadelphia into a real offensive identity. Defensively, they break down Arizona’s ability to produce long drives, its struggles in the red zone, the challenge of containing Trey McBride and the pressure Dallas may have to manufacture to avoid another frustrating night.

Episode 268: Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi dig into the Cowboys’ biggest roster problem heading toward the trade deadline: a pass rush that simply has not been good enough. The guys discuss whether Jerry Jones and the front office are preparing to make another move, why the Philadelphia game should have made Dallas even more aggressive and whether one addition would actually be enough. They also look at the possibility of moving current players instead of premium draft picks, which teams Dallas should be calling and why adding help at both edge rusher and linebacker could completely change the ceiling of this defense.

Later, Bryan explains why Trey McBride may be the best opposing player he has scouted all season and why the Cardinals tight end presents such a difficult matchup for Dallas. The conversation also turns back to Christian Parker and whether the Cowboys defense is actually improving, plus why Voch believes he may have been wrong about Parker heading into the season. Finally, the guys ask whether Dallas truly found an offensive identity by bullying Philadelphia on the ground or whether one dominant rushing performance is simply the beginning of something they still have to prove.

Episode 35: Jacob Regh and Kevin Walker are back to recap a chaotic Week 8 across college football, starting with Texas Tech’s brutal road loss to Cincinnati. The guys break down Will Hammond’s continued struggles, the lack of creativity on offense, Cincinnati’s dominance on the ground and what the loss means for Texas Tech’s chances of reaching the Big 12 Championship. They also look at Utah taking control of the conference race, BYU’s wild overtime loss to UCF and Indiana surviving an ugly battle with Michigan.

Then the conversation shifts to the rest of the national picture, including Wisconsin physically dominating USC, Texas holding off Ole Miss in a thriller and whether Arch Manning finally showed signs of progress. Jacob and Kevin also react to the newest AP Top 25 rankings, debate Texas’ huge jump in the poll, question Notre Dame remaining inside the top five and look at where teams like Utah, Texas Tech, Ole Miss and BYU belong after another unpredictable weekend.

Episode 46: The Cowboys get a much-needed 38-21 win over Philadelphia, and Bryan Broaddus, Iisha Morrison and Zach Wolchuk break down a dominant night for the Dallas offense. The Cowboys finally committed to the run and physically controlled one of the more talented defensive fronts in football, with the offensive line consistently moving Philadelphia off the ball and Javonte Williams taking advantage. The crew discusses why Dallas’ commitment to the ground game opened everything else up offensively, the impact of Broderick Jones in heavier personnel and whether this is finally the offensive identity the Cowboys need to stick with.

But there are still major questions on the other side of the ball. The crew examines DeMarvion Overshown’s return, the continued problems at linebacker and why Dallas’ lack of production off the edge remains one of the defense’s biggest weaknesses. They also discuss whether the Cowboys should make a move for a legitimate pass rusher before the trade deadline, the impact Joey Porter Jr. and Cobie Durant are having in the secondary, and whether Dallas could actually be both a buyer and a seller with players like KaVontae Turpin or George Pickens potentially holding trade value.

Episode 267: The Cowboys get a much-needed 38-21 win over Philadelphia, and Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi break down an offensive performance that finally looked like what Dallas has been searching for. The Cowboys committed to the run, pushed around a talented Eagles defensive front and gave Dak Prescott the kind of protection he had been missing the previous two weeks. They also look at the changes in the passing game, including moving George Pickens around the formation, and why Dallas’ willingness to attack Philadelphia differently made such a major difference.

But the win didn’t erase the concerns on defense. Bryan and Voch discuss DeMarvion Overshown’s impressive return, how Dallas should handle the linebacker rotation moving forward and why the lack of a consistent pass rush remains a major problem. They also examine the Cowboys’ continued tackling issues, the role Cobie Durant could play in the secondary and the growing pressure on the offense to carry this team. Plus, the guys debate Brian Schottenheimer’s game management and his changing relationship with the media.

Episode 266: Has Brian Schottenheimer’s offense gone from innovative to autopilot—and can the Cowboys fix it before a pivotal Monday night? On this Q&A edition of Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi examine why Dallas has abandoned the run, stopped creating explosive plays and left its offensive line battling through punishing stretches of obvious passing situations. They debate whether the play caller and line coaches are out of sync, whether Schottenheimer can manage both the offense and the entire team, and whether relinquishing play-calling duties is even realistic.

Then it’s on to a measuring-stick matchup with Philadelphia: Is Christian Parker’s defense actually improving, can Dallas exploit the Eagles’ vulnerable offensive line, and what matters most—protection, coverage, tackling or pass rush? Bryan and Voch also map the Cowboys’ narrow path to nine wins and an NFC East title, explaining why Monday night could reveal whether Dallas is ready to turn its season around or merely hanging around in a flawed division.

Episode 35: Week 8 is here, and the playoff race is about to get even messier. Jacob Regh and Kevin Walker preview another loaded weekend of college football, starting with the growing rumors surrounding Miami potentially leaving the ACC and even exploring independence. The guys also break down Indiana heading into The Big House, Michigan’s quarterback situation and whether Texas Tech can stay undefeated on the road against Cincinnati.

Then the pressure turns up across the country. BYU heads to UCF in a dangerous letdown spot, Tennessee gets a tough road test at South Carolina, Alabama looks to bounce back against Texas A&M and Oklahoma faces another ugly matchup with Mississippi State. Plus, Ole Miss travels to Austin for a massive showdown with Texas, Houston and Utah battle for Big 12 positioning, and the guys make their official Week 8 picks.

Episode 266: Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi dig into how the Cowboys should reshape their secondary if Cobie Durant is able to return against Philadelphia. They debate whether Durant should ultimately play over DaRon Bland, how Dallas can get Caleb Downs out of the slot more often, and why Christian Parker may need to start moving Joey Porter Jr. around to prevent opposing offenses from simply avoiding him. With Porter emerging as one of the defense’s most dependable players, the guys also discuss whether cornerback — not pass rusher — should become Dallas’ priority at the trade deadline.

Then the focus turns to the Eagles defense. Bryan and Voch explain why Philadelphia hasn’t been as dominant as its talent would suggest, where opponents have found success in the intermediate passing game and why tackling has become an issue. They also look at Vic Fangio’s pressure packages, Dallas’ continued problems protecting Dak Prescott and why this could be a major opportunity for Brian Schottenheimer to finally get George Pickens more involved.

Episode 265: With the Cowboys sitting at 2-4 and their season approaching a critical stretch, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi debate when Dallas has to stop thinking like a contender and start thinking about the future. Bryan explains how a front office approaches the trade deadline when a season begins to slip away, including when teams start making calls around the league and letting other clubs know they may be “open for business.” The guys also identify the players they would consider untouchable and discuss what Dallas could realistically get back for valuable pieces on the roster.

That leads into the biggest name in the conversation: George Pickens. Bryan and Voch discuss what kind of draft compensation it would take to move him, whether Dallas should be willing to trade other young players to recoup picks, and how the next few games could determine whether the Cowboys are buyers or sellers. Plus, they look ahead to Philadelphia and what Dallas has to show before the front office decides which direction this season is really headed.

Episode 34: The AP Poll might have officially lost the plot. Jacob Regh and Kevin Walker break down a chaotic new Top 25 after a wild weekend of college football, starting with the decision to rank Texas ahead of the Florida team that just beat them head-to-head. The guys debate whether wins, losses, résumé or preseason expectations actually matter anymore — because right now, the rankings don’t seem to follow any consistent logic.

Then the conversation turns to Notre Dame somehow remaining inside the Top 5 after losing to BYU, Texas Tech finally earning national respect while staying undefeated, Alabama’s massive drop after losing to Tennessee and why several unbeaten teams may still be getting overlooked. Plus, the guys reveal their own Top 10 power rankings, debate whether Ohio State should actually be No. 1, and ask if Miami truly deserves the top spot in the country.

Episode 264: The film points to a tougher truth: the Cowboys had answers against Green Bay, and abandoned them. On this episode of Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi explain why the defense’s struggles don’t excuse an offense that remained within striking distance, found success on the ground and still chose to put the game on Dak Prescott’s arm 50 times.

Then it’s frame-by-frame: missed pickups against stunts and gap exchanges, predictable stop routes, poor spacing, unused grass and max-protection concepts that give the quarterback too few clean answers. Bryan and Voch also examine whether Brian Schottenheimer’s responsibilities as head coach are hurting his play-calling, and whether handing the offense to someone else could provide the change Dallas needs.

Finally, the guys roll every Cowboys blitz to expose the hesitation, poor timing and communication breakdowns keeping the defense from getting home. The verdict is bigger than one struggling unit: coaching and execution failed together, and both must improve before the Cowboys face Philadelphia.

Episode 33: College football completely lost its mind this weekend. Jacob Regh and Kevin Walker break down Ohio State surviving Indiana in a heavyweight Big Ten battle, Florida stunning Texas in Austin and the growing questions surrounding Arch Manning, Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns’ offense. Is Sark holding Arch back — and could Manning ultimately be better off developing somewhere else?

The chaos doesn’t stop there. Tennessee takes down Alabama, Ole Miss destroys Missouri, Texas Tech finally looks like a legitimate Top-10 team and Kentucky exposes Oklahoma once again. Plus, BYU makes a massive statement against Notre Dame, Miami survives a double-overtime scare against Florida State, and Auburn pulls off the shocker of the weekend by knocking off No. 1 Georgia in Athens. After a weekend like this, who can you actually trust in college football anymore?

Episode 45: The Cowboys fall 23-13 to the Packers, and Bryan Broaddus, Iisha Morrison and Zach Wolchuk break down another frustrating performance from Dallas. The crew starts with the few positives, including Joey Porter Jr. and some defensive personnel changes, before getting into the biggest issue of the night: an offense that had no answer for Green Bay’s pressure, abandoned the run and repeatedly allowed free rushers to get to Dak Prescott. Untitled document Untitled document

The hosts also questions the Cowboys’ offensive preparation, the lack of creativity in the passing game and why George Pickens isn’t being moved around more. Plus, they discuss the offensive line’s communication problems, whether Terence Steele needs to be replaced, Rashan Gary’s lack of impact, why Joey Porter Jr. looks like a legitimate building block, and what Dallas can realistically change before facing Philadelphia.

Episode 263: Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi react to the Cowboys’ 23-13 loss to Green Bay and dig into what went wrong on both sides of the ball. They start with the few positives, Joey Porter Jr., Quinnen Williams and some willingness from the coaching staff to make personnel changes, before turning to the bigger issues with Caleb Downs, the secondary, Malachi Lawrence and a defense that still struggled despite holding the Packers to 23 points.

The bigger conversation centers on the offense. Bryan and Voch question Brian Schottenheimer’s preparation and play calling, break down why Dallas had no answers for Green Bay’s blitzes, and discuss the protection issues that repeatedly left free rushers on Dak Prescott. They also get into George Pickens’ limited route tree, whether Schottenheimer should give up play-calling duties, why the Cowboys abandoned the run, and whether it’s time to make another major personnel move at right tackle.
