Episode 260: The Cowboys’ defense has a talent problem, a health problem—and perhaps an experience problem. On this episode of Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi examine why Christian Parker’s ambitious system has struggled, whether his young coaching staff needs a veteran counterweight, and how Mike Pettine could help connect the pass rush with the secondary. From potential lineup changes at cornerback and linebacker to a smarter defensive-line rotation, they identify the adjustments Dallas can no longer postpone. Then the focus shifts to Green Bay. Jordan Love can punish busted coverages, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden can stretch the field, and Tucker Kraft may present the matchup that decides the game. Bryan and Voch construct Dallas’ defensive blueprint: simplify the front, make Love hold the football, disrupt Kraft’s release and force an inconsistent Packers offense to earn every yard. Can the Cowboys finally establish a defensive identity—or will Green Bay expose the same cracks all over again?

Episode 259: The Cowboys are bringing in veteran defensive help, and Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi break down what Mike Pettine’s arrival could mean for Christian Parker and a defense that badly needs answers. The guys discuss whether Pettine can help simplify the scheme, why Parker is now moving to the booth to call the defense, and how much time Dallas should give this staff to get things turned around. Then they go to the film. Bryan and Voch break down Dallas’ continued issues handling pressure and stunts, the problems keeping quarterbacks contained, DaRon Bland’s struggles, and why Malachi Lawrence deserves more opportunities as a pass rusher. With Green Bay, Philadelphia and Arizona coming up, the next few weeks could tell us a lot about where this Cowboys defense is headed.

Episode 258: Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi break down what Christian Parker can change with the players already on the roster, including getting Joey Porter Jr. and Cobie Durant on the field together, finding the right role for Caleb Downs and deciding whether DaRon Bland has played his way out of the starting lineup. The guys also look at DeMarvion Overshown’s potential impact at linebacker, why Malachi Lawrence deserves more opportunities as a pass rusher and whether Dallas needs to make some difficult decisions with veteran players. Plus, with the NFC East still wide open, Bryan explains why he’s no longer interested in moving George Pickens and why the Cowboys still have time to turn this season around.

Episode 257: The Cowboys didn’t simply lose to Tampa Bay, they validated every fear about a defense capable of making any opponent look elite. On this episode of Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi examine how an undrafted rookie quarterback, more than 200 rushing yards and an 11-minute drive exposed Dallas’ lack of discipline, pass rush and answers. Voch believes Christian Parker is in over his head; Bryan argues the coordinator deserves one final evaluation once key defenders return. Either way, the upcoming Green Bay game is becoming a referendum on the entire operation. The offense and special teams don’t escape accountability. Dak Prescott failed to consistently punish Tampa Bay’s pressure, the offensive line continued to struggle with twists and stunts, Jake Ferguson endured a damaging night and costly turnovers erased an already-thin margin for error. This roster is built to win through Dak, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and its offensive stars, but with a defense this compromised, even a handful of empty possessions can sink the game. Now Brian Schottenheimer’s culture of competition faces its first real test. Will Dallas reduce the roles of struggling veterans such as DaRon Bland and Ferguson, or settle for cosmetic changes involving marginal players? With Cobie Durant nearing a return and trust in the coaching staff fading, Bryan and Voch explain what genuine accountability must look like, and why this team has to earn back every ounce of belief.

Episode 256: The Cowboys have an offense capable of contending—but is the front office willing to go all in? On this episode of Doin' Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi make the case for turning offensive-line depth and premium draft capital into an impact pass rusher before the trade deadline. Whether that means dangling T.J. Bass or sacrificing valuable picks, the argument is simple: Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and the Cowboys’ core are in their prime, and one or two more defensive stops could completely change this team’s ceiling. Then it’s a complete Thursday Night Football preview as Dallas prepares for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bryan and Voch break down Tyler Smith’s status, Antoine Winfield Jr.’s absence, Tampa Bay’s rookie-led rushing attack and the vulnerabilities along the Buccaneers’ offensive line. They also examine Todd Bowles’ blitz-or-cover dilemma against Dak and explain how Lamb, Pickens and Jake Ferguson can turn this prime-time matchup into proof that Dallas should push its chips to the center of the table.

Episode 254: Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ offense delivered when it mattered most, securing a hard-fought 34-30 victory over Houston. On this episode of Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi examine how Dallas recovered from another slow start, adjusted to an elite Texans pass rush and found success attacking downfield. The offensive line, Javonte Williams’ situational running and key contributions from CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens all played critical roles in the win. Joey Porter Jr. also made an immediate impact in his Cowboys debut, with Houston consistently positioning Nico Collins away from him. Bryan and Voch discuss why Christian Parker must eventually allow Porter to follow an opponent’s top receiver, how a healthier secondary could reshape the defense and why Dallas’ inability to consistently pressure C.J. Stroud remains its most pressing concern. The guys also evaluate Brian Schottenheimer’s questionable third-and-short decisions, the expected return of Tyler Smith and whether Dallas needs another major addition along the defensive front. The Cowboys have an offense capable of carrying them into January, but if this team hopes to become a legitimate contender, the defense must begin holding up its end of the bargain.

Episode 253: The Cowboys have their corner - now the pressure shifts to Christian Parker and the rest of the defense. On this episode of Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi examine Joey Porter Jr.’s expected Dallas debut, Malik Hooker’s potential return and how a healthier secondary could create more freedom for Caleb Downs. They also explain why the Cowboys deserve credit for taking advantage of Pittsburgh’s situation and landing a potential difference-maker. The secondary may be improving, but Dallas’ pass rush remains a major concern. Bryan and Voch explore whether Parker needs to become more aggressive with his blitz packages, which edge rushers deserve additional opportunities and how Quinnen Williams and the interior rotation can be deployed more effectively. With the Cowboys struggling to generate pressure against ordinary offensive tackles, the time for schematic and personnel adjustments has arrived. The focus then turns to Houston’s physical defense and the challenge awaiting Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ offense. From Tyler Smith’s potential return to the importance of Jake Ferguson and Brevyn Spann-Ford as blockers, the guys outline what Dallas must do to withstand the Texans’ imposing front.

Episode 252: The Cowboys made another major move, sending a 2028 second-round pick and a sixth-rounder to the Pittsburgh Steelers for cornerback Joey Porter Jr. Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi break down what Dallas is getting in JPJ, why his size and man-coverage ability fit Christian Parker’s defense, and how his arrival could completely reshape the Cowboys secondary. The guys also discuss how Porter could free up Caleb Downs, what it means for DaRon Bland and Cobie Durant, whether Dallas still has another move to make for a pass rusher, and what the trade could eventually mean for George Pickens. Plus, they turn the page to Houston and break down how the Cowboys offense can attack a talented Texans defense.
