NFL expert Nate Tice joins Kevin Gray Jr. for a deep dive into the Dallas Cowboys after their disappointing 28-20 loss to the New York Giants.

Despite the Week 1 loss, Tice is STILL bullish on the Cowboys — especially an offense he believes has the potential to become a TOP 3 unit in the NFL.

But he has serious concerns about the other side of the ball.

Nate breaks down the Cowboys' defensive communication issues, the lack of physicality, the struggles on third down, and why the pass rush may be the biggest problem Dallas has to solve.

Plus, Nate explains why he believes the defense needs time to develop, breaks down Caleb Downs' NFL debut, discusses George Pickens' rough night, explains the impact of Dak Prescott's interception before halftime, and gives his outlook for the Cowboys' season.

Jeff Cavanaugh and Jesse Holley break down the Dallas Cowboys’ massive Week 1 failure against the New York Giants.

The Cowboys entered the season with a new-look defense, a new defensive coordinator in Christian Parker and plenty of optimism — and somehow came away looking painfully familiar.

- **New players, new coordinator, same defensive results?** Why did the Cowboys struggle so badly against the Giants?
- **Christian Parker’s first game:** What went wrong, and why didn’t the defense look meaningfully better than it did a year ago?
- **Schottenheimer has questions to answer:** What happened to the Cowboys offense, and why did Dallas’ best players make so many costly mistakes?
- **Is there actually reason for optimism?** What can the Cowboys realistically take from this game and build on?

Jeff and Jesse react to the loss, identify the biggest problems and try to figure out where Dallas goes from here.

The Dallas Cowboys opened the season with a disappointing loss to the New York Giants, and Jeff Cavanaugh, Jesse Holley and Voch Lombardi react immediately after the game.

- The first look at Christian Parker's overhauled Cowboys defense leaves a LOT to be desired.

- The Cowboys offense makes too many mistakes — including from their biggest stars.

- What went wrong for Dallas, and what can actually be fixed?

- How much different do we feel about the Cowboys than we did before kickoff?

**The Cowboys are 0-1. So… how concerned should we be?**
