Can The Cowboys Have NFL’s BEST Offense? + Is The Run Defense Finally Fixed?

About this episode

The episode discusses the potential of the Cowboys offense and the state of their run defense while featuring insights from Gary Downs about his son, rookie Caleb Downs.

Today on the DLLS Cowboys Podcast, we ask the big question: can the Cowboys offense actually be BETTER than last season — and good enough to be the best in football? We continue our Cowboys depth chart breakdown with the interior defensive line. Did Dallas finally do enough to fix the run defense? Which players are set up for breakout seasons in the middle? Plus, our biggest takeaways from yesterday’s conversation with Gary Downs, father of Cowboys first-round pick Caleb Downs. Are expectations for the rookie already getting too high? And which Cowboys player stands to benefit the MOST from everything Dallas has done this offseason? Join Jeff Cavanaugh, Clarence Hill, and the crew for the latest Cowboys analysis, roster breakdowns, and offseason storylines.
