The Dallas Cowboys are wrapping up training camp, and we’ve learned a LOT about what this team could look like heading into the 2026 NFL season.
On this episode of The Landry Hat Podcast, we break down the five biggest takeaways from Cowboys training camp, starting with Christian Parker’s defense and why there are legitimate reasons to believe this unit could be ahead of schedule.
We also discuss the impressive start from Dallas’ rookie class, including Caleb Downs, Jaishawn Barham, Malachi Lawrence and LT Overton, plus the young Cowboys players who have taken major steps forward throughout camp.
Shavon Revel has continued to develop, DaRon Bland has stayed healthy and made plays, Rashan Gary has provided a steady veteran presence, and players like James Houston have added even more depth to a defense that suddenly looks fast, physical and versatile.
On offense, Joe Milton and Malik Davis have made strong cases to win important backup roles, while Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy, Jake Ferguson and Javonte Williams give Dallas the pieces to potentially have one of the best offenses in football.
But the biggest takeaway might be the identity of this Cowboys team under Brian Schottenheimer.
From aggressive roster moves involving George Pickens, Quinnen Williams, Jalen Thompson and Von Miller to the additions of Caleb Downs and Tyler Booker, Dallas has clearly changed the way it is building this roster.
Bigger up front. Faster at linebacker. Versatile in the secondary. Multiple pass rushers. Disguised coverages. A physical offense capable of running the football and creating explosive plays.
For the first time in a while, it feels like we know exactly what the Dallas Cowboys are trying to be.
Now they have to prove it when the games actually count.
