If you read Part 1 of this #OTANSWERS miniseries, then you know Brian Schottenheimer’s QB rooms have put him in a blender.  But this isn’t about whether Russ could, would, or should have been allowed to cook—we’re not here for Sopranos-sad endings in Year 1 of #SCHOPPENHEIMER’s Dallas experiment. 

Part I: The Interview That Stayed With Me We interviewed Kelvin Joseph at Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, 2021. I’ve seen plenty of rookies come through—most wide-eyed, a little overwhelmed by the NFL scene, even in a dusty beach-town setup like Oxnard. But Kelvin was different. Not just nervous. Guarded. Anxious. You could feel it. 

Micah Parsons is headed for a holdout. Our own Gavin Dawson isn’t holding back—getting behind the mic to guarantee Parsons’ absence. In fact, Dawson’s doubling down, expanding on the reasons why (LINK BLOG WHENCE LIVE) Parsons is barreling toward the wrong kind of Training Camp headlines.  Last week, the superstar gamebreaker alternately professed his availability for Mandatory Minicamp next week and put contract negotiations in Jones Family hands in the same tweet. 

Micah Parsons is barreling toward a training camp holdout in Oxnard, California. And if you’ve been paying attention to how the Cowboys do business, you saw this coming a mile away. They don’t let elite players walk.They also don’t pay until a real deadline slaps them in the face.

Let’s get something clear right off the top: Joe Milton isn’t replacing Dak Prescott in 2025. Not unless the wheels fall off, the stars align, and the Cowboys see something in Milton that Tennessee fans only saw once every three games. But… that doesn’t mean he’s not worth watching. That doesn’t mean he can’t be a player. And it sure doesn’t mean Week 18 was a fluke.

The league fined George Pickens $90k in 2024, with the Steelers’ dollar amount perhaps forever TBD—team fines and even some league...

The mission for the Cowboys’ defensive line in 2025 is clear: tighten up the run defense and unleash a wave of young pass rushers that opposing quarterbacks won't know how to handle. It’s an ambitious goal—but one that feels within reach.  

It might just be the Cowboys’ biggest X-Factor in 2025. We’re talking about new Cowboys coaches bringing in their guys — former players who already know the scheme, the expectations, and the mission. I’m Gavin Dawson from 105.3 The Fan’s GBag Nation, home of the Cowboys — catch us 2–7 p.m. weekdays.

A source close to the situation told HowBoutWow, “Donovan Wilson is here. I don’t understand why people are talking about him being cut.” That’s a strong rebuttal to the rising speculation surrounding Wilson’s future with the Cowboys following June 1. But just because he's still around doesn’t mean the noise came from nowhere.

As Game of Thrones taught us, anything that comes before the word but is horsebleep. If Americas Team wants to be more than a pretty punchline when the 2025 NFL Playoffs come calling, then their offensive line must pave the way. 

If you’ve been watching or listening to our podcast, then you’ve likely heard Newbear say the same thing a couple of different ways: In 20 years as an OC or relative equivalent, Brian Schottenheimer has had to work through some things. Chad Pennington’s chicken wing.

Little surprise arrived on the 2024 NFL award circuit when Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was named Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year—the former No. 2 pick took home all but one 1st place vote. 4,459 total yards. 31 combined touchdowns. 12 regular-season victories and a trip to the NFC Conference Championship game is about as good as it gets for any QB1 in Year 1.

Former NFL GM and longtime friend of the GBAG Nation on 105.3 The Fan, Mike Tannenbaum, believes George Pickens is about to explode in Dallas—and that the Cowboys should consider locking him up with an extension before the season.

With Jalen Ramsey Rumor Fizzling, Top 4 Summer Free Agent Cornerbacks for the Cowboys. If the Cowboys are not pursuing a trade for Jalen...

A father who was a Navy man. A grandfather in the Navy who fought in the Korean War. Two others in the Army. Great-uncles in the Air Force and Navy, respectively—the latter of which took command of a ship in enemy waters when the commander died on board. If the Cowboys are not pursuing a trade for Jalen Ramsey, as my GBAG co-host Bryan Broaddus reported, what should Dallas do to improve their options at cornerback in 2025?

We might actually be witnessing it: a legit all-in moment for the Dallas Cowboys. Before the draft, Jerry Jones teased he was working on multiple substantial trades. One of those dominoes already fell, and it was a big one.  George Pickens is now a Cowboy.

Could the Cowboys Trade for Jalen Ramsey? And Would He Even Want It? When Cowboys Nation hears the name Jalen Ramsey, the immediate reaction might be: Let’s get him! 

In today’s sports world, we’re seeing more and more sons of pro athletes step into the spotlight. And let’s be honest—it’s rare air when one of them actually lives up to the name on the back of the jersey, let alone surpasses it.

With Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning upon us, Dawson and Newbear hopped into a discussion about the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl odds against the incomparable action series.

As far as social media sensationalism goes, NFL teams go all-in on the league’s annual schedule release party. For 2025, America’s Team opted for a livestream with a trail of breadcrumbs that had our own Gavin Dawson eating up the betting line against an over/under of 7.5 wins.
