The Dallas Cowboys bounced back in a big way with a 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders, and there was a lot to like about the way this team responded.

In this episode of The Landry Hat Podcast, Zac Lee breaks down the Cowboys’ Week 2 win, Dak Prescott’s four-touchdown performance, CeeDee Lamb’s huge day, and why the offense finally looked like the version Dallas needs moving forward.

But the biggest takeaway might be what happened on defense.

Jaishawn Barham continues to look like a major piece for the Cowboys at linebacker. Caleb Downs is already making plays all over the field. And Malachi Lawrence showed real progress off the edge. Dallas still has plenty to clean up defensively, but the young talent on this roster is starting to give Cowboys fans something to be excited about.

We also look ahead to the Cowboys’ next matchup against Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and the Baltimore Ravens, and why this game will be a huge test for Dallas’ young defensive core.

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.

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.

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.

The Dallas Cowboys have been BUSY, and there is a lot to catch up on.

On this episode of The Landry Hat Podcast, Zac and FootsDaKing break down everything happening with the Cowboys as the preseason wraps up and the 53-man roster starts to come into focus.

We discuss Dallas creating more than $19 million in cap space, Jerry Jones continuing to leave the door open for another trade, the addition of Emari Demercado, and the Cowboys’ trade for Broderick Jones.

Was Broderick Jones worth the gamble? Can Dallas actually get more out of him than Pittsburgh did? And how much better does this offensive line need to be for the Cowboys offense to take another step?

We also take a bigger-picture look at where this roster stands heading into the 2026 season and what moves could still be coming.

On this episode of The Landry Hat Podcast, we break down why Dallas restructured the contracts of DaRon Bland, Jake Ferguson and Kenny Clark, what the Cowboys’ cap situation looks like now, and why a major move before the season still feels unlikely.

We break down what these moves really mean for the Cowboys in 2026 and why this extra flexibility could become extremely important later in the season.

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.
