Dallas Cowboys face major pass rush uncertainty as stars like Von Miller express interest in joining America’s Team. With Micah Parsons gone, can Donovan Ezeiruaku or Rashan Gary step up, or will the lack of proven edge winners hinder the Cowboys’ defense heading into 2026?
Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool spotlight the team’s biggest defensive concerns, including tackling woes, a porous secondary, and the risk of relying on schematic solutions rather than true pressure specialists.
The hosts dissect potential solutions, from signing veterans like Von Miller or Jadeveon Clowney to monitoring Haason Reddick and Kyle Van Noy as fallback options. Key topics include evaluating Malachi Lawrence's development, the impact of Christian Parker’s revamped schemes, and the delicate trade-off between mentoring youth and chasing proven experience.
Are the Cowboys one strategic move away from bolstering their pass rush, or will their defense falter without a clutch finisher on third down?
