Episode 275: With Dallas trying to keep its playoff hopes alive while draft season creeps closer, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi tackle a major question: should the Cowboys regret trading a potentially premium first-round pick for Quinnen Williams? On this episode of Doin’ Alright, the guys rank Dallas’ biggest needs at edge rusher, linebacker, cornerback and offensive line while examining the looming contract decisions involving Joey Porter Jr. and George Pickens. Attention then turns to Indianapolis and a game Dallas cannot afford to lose. Bryan and Voch break down the Cowboys’ injury report, the importance of keeping DeMarvion Overshown on the field and the Colts’ complicated Jonathan Taylor dilemma. Do they unleash their best offensive weapon, protect a valuable trade asset or prioritize their future over beating the Cowboys? Finally, the conversation becomes a candid evaluation of Dallas’ coaching staff. Is Brian Schottenheimer creating advantages—or is the offense surviving on talent alone? Has Christian Parker failed to develop the defense? After buying into the promise of a young, energetic staff during training camp, Bryan and Voch admit the Cowboys may have fooled them again. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 274: Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi dig into Jerry Jones’ philosophy on coaching and why it appears to conflict with the Cowboys’ entire approach to roster building. Dallas has consistently emphasized drafting high ceiling players and developing them, but if coaching is the biggest part of that development process, how can the organization also downplay the value of investing in coaches? The guys discuss whether the Cowboys’ offensive talent is currently overcoming the scheme, the lack of development on defense, whether the staff overcorrected by prioritizing “teachers,” and why Will McClay may eventually need to consider running his own organization elsewhere. The conversation also covers the Cowboys’ defensive rotation, Joey Porter Jr.’s importance to the secondary and why opposing offenses continue targeting DaRon Bland. Then Bryan and Voch turn their attention to Indianapolis, breaking down a Colts defense that has struggled against the run but features a talented group of cornerbacks. They explain where Dallas should attack on the ground, how the Cowboys can manipulate Indianapolis’ pressure looks with the snap count and why this should be another game where the offense commits to running the football instead of playing directly into the strength of the Colts defense.

Episode 273: Jerry Jones believes the Cowboys’ best defense is their offense—but that philosophy leaves Dak Prescott and Dallas’ most productive unit carrying an impossible burden. On this episode of Doin’ Alright, Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi explain why the offense may be succeeding on talent more than design, how Brian Schottenheimer’s play-calling and game management are limiting its ceiling, and whether another costly loss could force Jerry to make a major coaching decision. Then, the focus shifts to Indianapolis. The Colts’ vulnerable offensive line and quarterback play should give Dallas opportunities, but Jonathan Taylor, Josh Downs, Keenan Allen and Tyler Warren present serious problems for a defense still struggling with communication, discipline and tackling. Can the Cowboys create pressure, control the running game and prevent another unexpected playmaker from producing a career performance? Plus, the guys examine Dallas’ biggest future needs at linebacker, edge rusher and cornerback, discuss the possibility of Bill Belichick entering the Cowboys’ coaching picture, and look ahead to realistic trades and the upcoming draft.

Episode 38: The first College Football Playoff rankings are HERE — and there’s already plenty to be mad about. Jacob Regh and Kevin Walker break down the committee’s opening Top 25, from Alabama landing all the way at No. 5 to Texas jumping ahead of undefeated UCLA and Texas Tech sitting behind both LSU and Tennessee. Are wins actually being valued more than losses — or has the committee already started rewarding brands and “good losses”? The guys also debate Ohio State crashing to No. 12 after losing to USC, Notre Dame sitting on the edge of playoff elimination and whether Indiana really deserves the No. 4 spot despite its schedule and quarterback questions. Plus, they discuss how the latest election results could impact the future of the Protect College Sports Act and what conferences may do if federal legislation stalls.

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? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.
