    How Much Did Joey Porter Jr. Change for the Dallas Cowboys Defense + More Trades Coming? | Cowboys vs. Texans Preview

    How Much Did Joey Porter Jr. Change for the Dallas Cowboys Defense + More Trades Coming? | Cowboys vs. Texans Preview The Dallas Cowboys made a major move by trading for Joey Porter Jr., and his impact could go well beyond simply adding another starting cornerback. In this episode of the Landry Hat Podcast, we break down how Porter changes the structure of the Cowboys defense, what his arrival means for Caleb Downs, Jaishawn Barham, DaRon Bland, Shavon Revel Jr. and Malik Hooker, and how defensive coordinator Christian Parker can use more man coverage, disguise and aggressive pressure packages with another reliable outside corner. We also discuss whether the Cowboys could have more trades coming, which positions still need help, and whether Dallas should keep adding to the defense after a 1-2 start. Then we preview Dallas Cowboys vs. Houston Texans in Week 4, including Dak Prescott vs. the Texans pass rush, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens vs. Houston’s secondary, C.J. Stroud vs. the Cowboys defense, Will Anderson Jr., Derek Stingley Jr., Nico Collins, and the biggest matchups that could decide the game. Can the Cowboys defense finally take a step forward? How much does Joey Porter Jr. raise the ceiling of this secondary? And can Dallas avoid falling to 1-3 with a road win over Houston? We cover all of it in this full Cowboys Texans preview, plus the latest Dallas Cowboys news, trade rumors, defensive analysis, roster moves and Week 4 storylines.

    The Dallas Cowboys Are So Close, but Yet So Far Away After Loss to Ravens

    The Dallas Cowboys came painfully close to beating the Baltimore Ravens, but once again, self-inflicted mistakes made the difference. In this episode of The Landry Hat Podcast, we break down everything that went wrong in the Cowboys’ 34-31 loss to Baltimore, including turnovers, penalties, special teams mistakes, clock management, and the final sequence that left Dallas just two yards away from a potential win. We’ll go through the Cowboys offense, defense, special teams, and coaching decisions, including Dak Prescott and the passing game, the Javonte Williams fourth-down sequence, Jake Ferguson’s fumble, Brandon Aubrey’s blocked field goal, kickoffs out of bounds, defensive penalties, and the late-game decisions that gave Baltimore one final opportunity. The frustrating part is that Dallas made mistake after mistake and still had a chance to win the game at the goal line. So what does this loss actually tell us about the Cowboys moving forward? Is the offense good enough to carry this team? Is the defense improving? And how much blame should fall on the coaching staff for another game that came down to situational football? Full Cowboys vs. Ravens reaction, analysis, takeaways and everything Dallas needs to clean up heading into the next game.

    What We NEED to Learn About the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 2 Matchup vs. Commanders

    The Dallas Cowboys have a lot to prove in Week 2 against Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders. After an ugly defensive performance against the New York Giants, Zac and FootsDaKing break down the biggest questions facing the Cowboys heading into this matchup. Was Week 1 simply one terrible defensive performance, or did it expose real problems with Christian Parker’s new Cowboys defense? With DeMarvion Overshown and Malik Hooker out, rookie linebacker Jaishawn Barham is stepping into a massive role at MIKE linebacker and will wear the green dot against one of the NFL’s most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks. The guys also dive into the Cowboys offense and why Dallas shouldn’t be afraid to trust Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and the passing game against Washington’s secondary. Should the Cowboys stop worrying so much about “establishing the run”? Can the offensive tackles hold up well enough for Dallas to attack downfield? And why could blitzing Dak Prescott be a major mistake for the Commanders defense? On the other side of the ball, the biggest question might be whether Dallas can pressure Jayden Daniels without constantly sending extra rushers. Philadelphia pressured Daniels on nearly 48% of his dropbacks while largely getting home with four, while the Cowboys generated just two pressures on 20 four-man rushes against New York. Zac and Foots also discuss maintaining rush lanes against Daniels, Donovan Ezeiruaku’s struggles setting the edge, Christian Parker’s defensive adjustments and which Cowboys players need to respond the most in Week 2. It’s a full Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders preview with the matchups, players and questions that could decide the game.

    Dallas Cowboys Week 2 Matchup vs. Commanders | Everything You Need To Know Before the Game

    The Dallas Cowboys are getting ready for a huge NFC East matchup against the Washington Commanders, and this Cowboys vs Commanders preview goes way deeper than the basic box score. On this episode of The Landry Hat Podcast, Zac Lee breaks down the advanced numbers behind Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Commanders, including EPA per play, success rate, pressure rate, personnel usage, defensive efficiency and the biggest matchup advantages that could decide the game. The Cowboys offense was actually much more efficient against the New York Giants than the final score and total yardage suggest. Dallas finished Week 1 near the top of the NFL in EPA per play, and Dak Prescott was particularly effective when the Cowboys operated out of 11 personnel with CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Jake Ferguson on the field. But the biggest concern heading into Cowboys vs Commanders is the Dallas Cowboys defense. The Cowboys struggled badly to generate pressure with only four pass rushers against the Giants, and now they have to deal with Jayden Daniels, one of the most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks in the NFL. Philadelphia was able to pressure Jayden Daniels consistently without relying heavily on the blitz, which creates one of the biggest questions for Dallas this week: can the Cowboys defensive line affect Jayden Daniels without constantly sending extra defenders? We also break down why the Cowboys defensive success rate against the Giants was so concerning, how Washington’s offense performed against the Philadelphia Eagles, and why the Commanders defense may be better than Cowboys fans expect. Other topics include: • Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense ranking highly in EPA per play • CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens against the Washington secondary • Why Dallas could lean heavily on 11 personnel • The Cowboys running game and possible opportunities against lighter defensive boxes • Jayden Daniels’ impact as both a passer and runner • Dallas’ four-man pass rush and pressure-rate concerns • Why blitzing Jayden Daniels could create problems for the Cowboys defense • The Cowboys linebackers, defensive tackles and safeties needing better discipline • Washington Commanders offensive efficiency against Philadelphia • Why Dallas must improve on third down and get its defense off the field • The biggest Cowboys vs Commanders matchups and advanced stats to watch This is a full Dallas Cowboys Week 2 preview with advanced analytics, Cowboys news, Cowboys analysis and Washington Commanders scouting ahead of an important NFC East matchup.

    7 Major Takeaways from Dallas Cowboys Loss to New York Giants

    The Dallas Cowboys opened the 2026 NFL season with a disappointing 28-20 loss to the New York Giants, and there is a LOT to unpack from Week 1. In this episode of The Landry Hat Podcast, Zac Lee breaks down seven major takeaways from the Cowboys loss to the Giants, including just how bad the Dallas defense really was, why the Cowboys pass rush struggled to create pressure, how Jaxson Dart was able to stay comfortable all night, and why the defensive performance may have been even worse than it looked in real time. The numbers are ugly. Dallas produced one of the worst defensive performances in the NFL dating back to the start of last season, struggled badly on third down, and generated almost no pressure when rushing only four defenders. We break down what went wrong with Christian Parker's defense, whether the issues were scheme-related or personnel-related, and how concerning it is that many of the same problems from the 2025 Cowboys defense showed up again in Week 1. We also take a closer look at Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense, because the offensive performance may have been better than it felt. Dallas only had six meaningful offensive possessions in the entire game, far below the normal NFL average, but still scored 20 points and finished with 3.33 points per possession. The Cowboys also scored touchdowns on both of their second-half drives. So how much blame should Dak Prescott and the offense really get? Was the running game good enough? Did the Cowboys offensive line struggle? And how much did the defense's inability to get off the field completely change the way we viewed the offense? Zac breaks down all of that, plus what Dallas needs to fix before Week 2, which problems are actually correctable, and which issues should already have Cowboys fans concerned about the rest of the 2026 season. Topics include: Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants Week 1 reaction Cowboys defense breakdown Dallas Cowboys defensive EPA Christian Parker defense Cowboys pass rush concerns Jaxson Dart vs Cowboys Cowboys third-down defense Dak Prescott Week 1 performance Cowboys offense analysis Dallas Cowboys points per possession Cowboys offensive possessions CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens Cowboys running game Cowboys offensive line Dallas Cowboys Week 2 outlook 2026 Dallas Cowboys season reaction Subscribe to The Landry Hat Podcast for Dallas Cowboys news, analysis, game reactions, NFL breakdowns, roster updates, injuries, trades, and weekly Cowboys coverage throughout the 2026 NFL season.
