About this episode

Colin Cowherd discusses NFL season preparations and insights on the Dallas Cowboys with guests Danny Parkins and Matt Mosley.

Colin’s top takes of the week. First, Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1. They start with Colin attending Bears practice and Caleb Williams looking incredibly fast after dropping 15 pounds and looking far more accurate with his throws and they look for him to make a big jump in his second year with Ben Johnson (3:30). They also discuss how they each prepare for the NFL season as broadcasters (10:00).  Then, Colin is joined by Matt Mosley, Cowboys insider and host of the Doomsday Podcast. They discuss Brian Schottenheimer outperforming expectations in the 2025 season, and what his secret sauce is as head coach (22:30). They laud Dak Prescott for his leadership skills and his ability to rise above the pressure of playing quarterback for the Cowboys (27:30).  Finally, they break down how the Cowboys will use their prized rookie safety Caleb Downs and Matt explains why Downs could become one of their best defensive players  but shouldn’t be expected to be the savior for the defense (35:00).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
