Episode Synopsis

The Dallas Cowboys are staring down a crucial offseason after finishing the 2024 season with a disappointing 7-10 record. While the offense dealt with its share of setbacks, the real concern heading into 2025 is whether this team has done enough to fix its glaring weakness on defense—specifically in the trenches. The Cowboys made their first major move by locking in defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to a four-year extension. From there, the front office quietly added reinforcements, signing Dante Fowler, Kenneth Murray, Solomon Thomas, and Jack Sanborn to help patch up a run defense that ranked near the bottom of the league last year.Despite these additions, questions remain about whether Dallas has the size and power up front to handle the physicality of modern NFL offenses. With a 2025 schedule that features some of the league’s best offensive lines—including two matchups against a revamped Washington front—this group could be exposed early and often if improvements don’t continue. A potential trade for veteran defensive tackle D.J. Reader has been floated as a game-changing move, offering Dallas the kind of size and presence the line sorely lacks.In this episode, we break down what the Cowboys have done, what they still need, and why this offseason might make or break their defensive identity heading into the new year.Sponsor:Gametime: https://gametime.hnyj8s.net/c/2653816/742962/10874Fanatics: https://www.fanatics.com/mlb-texas-rangers/o-2365+t-70564589+z-90414-119259264Follow Us on Social Media:Facebook www.facebook.com/talkintexasrangersTwitter: https://twitter.com/talkintxrangersSupport the Show:Buy Me a Coffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/ttrangersSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-big-d-breakdown/donations
