Cowboys StoryLine: Pickens & Picks

The big stories of the offseason include George Pickens and these two first-round picks. Somehow, the fans want the Cowboys to figure out how to keep the picks and Pickens, too.

We knew the Cowboys would likely make changes but this fast? The speed in which they made the DC switch has the fans optimistic this year could have a different overall approach.

The 2025 season has now officially ended but there wasn't much discussion on the final game as the focus has already shifted to the draft, free agency and expected coaching changes.

A final resolution on the Trevon Diggs situation occurred as the Cowboys cut ties with the veteran CB. The callers weighed in on that situation and gave their opinions on whether Dak should play this final game.

How many holes do the Cowboys really need to fix? One of the topics on today's show revolved around problem areas and how many positions need to be fully upgraded in 2026.

Even with one game to play, the focus is already on the 2026 season in the contracts that need to be paid. Do the Cowboys sign Pickens, Javonte or both and maybe neither and focus all on defense.

This is the season of giving and the time when we focus on presents. But it appears there is way more talk about the future than the actual present as we did our final show before Christmas.

This season has shown us all they need to get more great players and there's no better place to do that than the first round. The fans agree the Cowboys need to make sure and keep those first-rounders and put less focus on the second round and beyond.

The Cowboys still have three games to play and will keep fighting to the end, but some of the coaches and the players will be evaluated with their future potentially on the line.

This is the time to grade out the coaching performances and it starts with the head coach. The callers weighed in on Brian Schottenheimer's first year and compared it to Mike McCarthy, who coached the team the previous five seasons.

Where's the focus here in the last three games as the Cowboys could be eliminated from the playoffs even before they play again. Is the goal to win out or focus on playing younger guys, or maybe a combo of both?

The callers were holding out hope that maybe the Cowboys could make a final playoff push but after the Vikings loss, what is the plan now as we shift towards the final three games?

The debate raged on how this season will be categorized if they miss the playoffs. Even CeeDee and Dak weighed in, which created various opinions from the callers.

The defense has had issues but should the Cowboys make another change at the end of the season? Maybe the Cowboys would like to have some continuity instead of flipping coordinators for the third straight year.

Whether or not the Cowboys can make the playoffs, defining success and failure in Brian Schottenheimer's first season is up for debate … and it was definitely debated.

With four games to play, some might say there's plenty of season to be played but when it comes to making changes to the coaching staff and personnel, is it too late for all of that?

As we return from a much-needed break, the fans want to know what's up with special teams and why it hasn't been so special this year.

The Cowboys went to Motown on a roll but hit a huge bump in the road, leaving us all to wonder just what this loss means for the rest of the season with four games to play.

What a turnaround we've seen - not just with the Cowboys winning three straight games but the change in Matt Eberflus' perception. The DC has his players flying to the ball and the fans have noticed.

With the Cowboys on a 3-game winning streak and the Eagles now losing two straight, the NFC playoff picture not only has the Cowboys in the hunt but winning the division might be the best path.

In the final show of the week, the callers not only celebrated Thanksgiving Eve, but have some newfound confidence with Mahomes and the Chiefs coming to town.

All season long, the Cowboys have had to overcompensate for a struggling defense but are we now at the point where Brian Schottenheimer can start trusting the defense more?

The Cowboys have been everyone else's get-right-game this season so leave it to the Eagles to provide that type of bounce back for the Cowboys, who had their best win of the season in comeback fashion.

As we approach Thanksgiving, the Eagles present a mighty challenge on Sunday that begins quite a festive group of games that will tell us a lot about these Cowboys in the next few weeks.

We know the Eagles are going to Tush Push their way to the goal line but have the Cowboys added enough muscle up front to push back?
