Cowboys Should Consider BLOCKBUSTER Trade To Fix Defense | Micah Parsons Replacement?

The Dallas Cowboys have looked better than expected through two weeks. Should they make a big time trade? We will get to that next. You are Locked On Cowboys, your daily Dallas Cowboys podcast, part of the Locked On podcast network. Your team every day. Welcome back to the Locked On Cowboys podcast, part of the Locked On podcast network, your team every day. We’d like to thank you for making us your first listen of the day. This episode is brought to you by Mazda. Like our players, we sweat every detail because when you make every move count, pulling off the unexpected is only the beginning. Stay tuned for highlights in this week’s Moving the Game Forward. Mazda, move and be moved. Welcome back. I am your host Marcus Moer. He is Landon Mcool. And on today’s show, we are answering your Twitter questions, including who are some of the most surprising players through the first two games for the Cowboys. How bad is the defense? And who is the most to blame for their problems? But Landon, let’s start with this first question. And actually, we’ve got quite a few people here that want to know. Do you think the Cowboys should be making a big trade to improve the team now that we know maybe they’re a little bit more competitive than we thought? I I think I’m still you and I had, you know, had a kind of conversation before the show about this and and and I I kind of think I’m still in wait and see mode at this point, right? because I do think you have this this window right now where you’ve got these picks and and it it’s like a valuable thing to kind of have all those picks in a single draft too because it’s not just that you’re getting those picks but also just the ammunition that you can use to move around to do all kinds of different stuff. So I kind of want to keep my powder dry right now just until we get a better idea of where this team is, right? Like I I I think we know that this offense is pretty good and I think through two weeks you’ve seen that they could be a top five offense, right? Like I think they they’ve kind of shown uh certainly through different spurts they have a balance to this offense that I don’t think we’ve seen in previous years, right? Um so the vibes are right. I think at certain parts of the offense if you feel like things can even out a little bit on defense, which I I think is the area where you feel like you probably need to make this trade. I’d be shocked if it was on offense, right? There’s just I mean the only position is like running back, I guess. But I mean, Javvante Williams has been We’ll We’ll get to Javvante in a second. We’ll get to Javvante Williams. I can’t see it being on offense. Let’s just put it that way. I I kind of agree. So to me, it’s like I think you still need to figure out a little bit. First of all, you need to give these young guys a little bit more time just to see, right? Just give yourself an opportunity and and also just to see exactly how the rest of this this team is. Like is the coverage to the point where going out and getting a pass rusher actually would make a difference and help and kind of even things out a lot on this defense to me? Like again, I I’m kind of tell giving my hand here. I think it would be a pass rusher. it would be someone that you would go out and get an elite pastor or someone an elite cover guy that you feel like could help you on that end. I I think that’s the area specifically where if you’re going to make a trade for this year, like that’s probably where I would look. So, I have very mixed feelings on this because my initial reaction is no. like those picks are to replenish the middle of your roster and that’s the reason you traded Micah Parsons is because you felt like players 10 through 15 weren’t good enough and they were getting too expensive, right? So, you need those four first round picks over the next two years to fill in the gaps and you’re going to use all of that money that you quote unquote saved on Micah Parsons to extend guys like Don Bland and Tyler Smith, which is what they’ve done. However, someone like Trey Hendrickson is very interesting, right? Because name he I think he will be available. We’ll see if that’s the case. But with the Bengals losing Joe Burrow for the season, or at least we think this season for majority to say the least, right? Well, I’m not the Lot done Bengals host, but he’s not playing this year. Uh I think and he’s on a one-year deal. I wonder if it would make sense for the Bengals to move him now. Let’s say they get a second round pick. They were asking for a first. If you’re the Cowboys, could you make an argument like, “Hey, he’s not Micah Parsons, but he’s $15 million a year cheaper. He’s had more sacks over the last couple years. Uh, we don’t have to pay him as much.” And while we get to keep those first round picks, now we have Trey Hendrickson. We only give up a second theoretically. And we can pair him with Kenny Clark. And now our defense, yeah, it’s not as good as it was with Micah, but we’re better. Yeah. Yeah. And you’re you’re not making I mean I I think you know any trade also you know would probably need a a commitment of or you know a deal behind it I would assume. But maybe not maybe maybe you know we could just work out a deal where you just are simply trading him and maybe that comes with uh uh part of the haggling that you’re making with the I mean I think that would be the thing if you could trade let’s say you trade for him and you give him a three-year deal at make up the number 35 million a year. Okay. That’s still that’s a lot of money, but that’s $10 million less per year that you were planning on giving Micah. Yeah. And on top of that, you still get the the the first round draft picks and Kenny Clark, which again, like I know felt like a kind of a joke part of this of this trade when when Mike when Michael Parson’s trade originally went down, but he’s been an incredible player for you. He might be your best defender. And and I think it also makes th this trade al this kind of trade make some sense because suddenly you’ve sol you seemingly have solved a lot of your run defense problem at least the interior run rush part you get maybe twothirds of the the pass rush back from Micah Parsons with with Hendrickson at least for this year who and maybe who knows beyond how much longer a 30-year-old Hendrickson’s going to continue to perform right uh and and you still get the picks as we mentioned so like Look, I mean, I’m not going to sit here and def even after that defeat person’s trade, but I think it makes some sense if you feel like you’ve got a team to, you know, make that happen. I I still think that that’s the thing that you and I agree on, right? That I’m still in wait and see mode for at least a couple more weeks, right? And that’s what like I need to see them beat some good teams that maybe not every like for example, I beating Chicago. If they go out and they beat Chicago in Chicago, I think I would be more apt to do a trade like that. But I think my instincts are you need these picks to get some young players and start, you know, start this kind of new era of the roster. And I think the thing I keep coming back to is even with Trey Hendrickson on the roster, are they good enough to make it to the playoffs? Are they good enough to be a Super Bowl contender? I probably not. But then again, maybe Trey Hendrickson is the difference in the Philadelphia game. And maybe that is all you need. I don’t know why not. I mean, honestly, like because I mean, again, I think if you anything can happen with these teams and you’re still hoping for development in other areas of the team. If you give this shot a little bit of veteran and pass rush, I I mean, real pass rush. Like it’s like like I because I could hear folks say, “What about Clowny? What about Clowny?” Guys, you’re giving Clowny like $4 million or something. Yeah. So, it’s like you could just cut him if you want. Like it’s it’s totally fine. Like I I just think that with this kind of situation, it’s it’s a real pass rusher. It’s it’s not Micah Parsons, but it’s in that range. A pro pass rusher from last year, right? And production-wise, he’s, you know, produced more than Micah Parsons, at least on that front, like part of it. Yeah. At least. Yeah. There’s also part of me that thinks, hey, if you’re trading a first or second round pick, I think you would want to try to find a player that has some cheap years left, right? And like this is what the Cowboys have done before when they traded for Amari Cooper. they had, you know, cheap years available. They traded for George Pickkins who has this 2025 season where he’s costing you nothing. Like, that’s the way to probably do it. I just I have a hard time seeing the Cowboys giving up a high round pick and having a pay play pay a player immediately 30 plus million dollars a year who’s in his 30s. But that’s where I’ve been going through all these rosters trying to find another name. And it’s just too hard going into week three because everybody or almost everybody thinks they still have a chance to make the playoffs or be in contenders. Two weeks from now, Landon, I promise you, two weeks from now, you’ll have a better idea of which teams could potentially be sellers uh by the deadline. Last thing I’ll say, I honestly think that I’ll I’m pushing back on that because I think we’re through the looking glass at this point, right, with Jerry and and I think that it now it’s it’s about trying to prove that he was right about the Michael Parsons trade. Yes. Yeah. To me, I think that would be enough to convince Jerry to get on board with a trade like this. Uh whether that’s the right reason to get this deal done or not, maybe at least it is a reason that this deal gets done. All right, let’s talk about some players that have been really surprising through the first two weeks of the season and a couple that have been major disappointments. We will get to that next. This episode is brought to you by Mazda’s moving the game forward for those who believe it’s not just about playing the game, it’s about redefining it. These are the moments that do more than just put points on the board. They move crowds, they move culture, and they keep the game moving forward. And this week’s moment that moved the game forward is Brandon Aubryy’s 64 yardd field goal to put the Cowboys into overtime. It’s crazy when Brandon Aubrey steps up. Like, I have no no doubt that he’s going to get it there. It’s just whether he makes the kick or not. But he was fantastic. He was calm. The Cowboys had complete faith. You even saw guys on the bench, they weren’t even getting up because they just knew that he was going to drill the kick. And that is what is giving the Cowboys a positive outlook moving forward. They’ve got the best kicker in the league. He’s fantastic and he comes through with the clutch and he keeps fans moving forward. And when you follow what moves you, the unexpected is only the beginning. And just like there’s more to every highlight, there’s more to a Mazda vehicle. Mazda move and be moved.

He wants to know who has been the most surprising and most disappointing player for the Cowboys through the first two weeks of the season. Okay, so I got a couple on each honestly. So, uh I think for surprising we first just got to have a little conversation about Javvante Williams, right? Like to me Javvante has been way more than what we expected. I think there was, you know, probably similar expectations when the signing happened for him and Miles Sanders, right? And and I think that it’s been very clear since training camp has started all throughout training camp and obviously through the first two weeks that Javvante Williams is the number one back on this team. Uh and he’s performed at a high level. I’m pretty sure at the last I checked he was the number one running back in the league in success rate. I I think or number two I think well I think he’s fourth right now in success rate number one in EPA per rush which isn’t bad. Success rate we also should talk about this. success rate is measured two different ways depending on what you like the traditional success rate and then also by EPA. So sometimes these numbers get a little jumbled, but the thing is is use both of them together. That’s going to tell you kind of where he’s at. Exactly. So number one and number four pretty good, right? So uh yeah and and I think that that’s what we’ve seen, right? Like I mean you know he had a 30 yard touchdown run that was just beautiful. He’s he’s breaking tackles. He’s getting more than what’s there. Uh he’s he’s you know I think I I don’t remember the numbers right off the top of my head but his rushing yards over expected is very high or at least it was after the first game. I haven’t checked the second one but I can’t imagine it’s not because he had a 30- yard touchdown run. So again like I think just any expectation that you had for Jonte Williams he he seemingly exceeded it. So very excited for him. There were a lot of really good runs on Sunday, but one of my favorites was there was a second and 29 in overtime and I think it was this was the first time the Cowboys got the ball where they were pretty clearly just trying to get a few yards on second down and he ends up breaking the run and getting I think 20 yards to set up a third and 10 and the Cowboys ultimately didn’t convert. But now instead of being backed up in your own end zone punting the ball away, uh Brian Anger hits a monster punt and they pin the Giants down there and next play you have the interception, right? Like it’s just little things like that. He broke a couple tackles uh on a poorly blocked play turns into a big field position play. He’s just a really hard physical runner and that’s exactly what we’ve been wanting for the last couple years. And I’m going to go ahead and just transition that conversation into another physical guy who’s been a huge part of this run game who in my mind has not gotten enough snaps. Man, Brevin Spanford has been everything we hoped he would be as a run blocker and more. I mean, this last game I think he only had 10 snaps as a run blocker, but every single one was clinic tape. It was And it’s not even just clinic tape in form, but he’s burying dudes. He’s putting him on the ground and then he’s getting in their face. Man, I just I love the physicality that this dude plays with and and the way he, you know, is so effective. They’ve got to find ways to kind of continue to get him more snaps. He was just a small guy that I feel like was worth mentioning because he just doesn’t get a ton of snaps. I I got one I wanted to mention. Do you know who the uh number nine receiver is right now on Pro Football Focus in terms of their grading? Not CD Lamb and it’s not George Pickkins. It’s Cavante Turpin. And this is one uh that we talked about all offseason like okay who’s going to be the third receiver. We thought this was going to be a battle between you know Tolbert and Turpin and Mingo and it took all of what like a week to feel like no hey Turpin’s number three here and everybody else is fighting for a job. I know he got banged up in this game but man there was like a fourplay sequence early in this game where Turpin got the ball on every single play. He scored a touchdown. uh they really didn’t have any answer for him before he got banged up in this game. But for somebody who was so raw coming to the Cowboys in 2023, who started to play more on offense last year to a guy that’s an actual weapon on offense, it’s pretty cool. Turpin deserves a lot of credit for his own development. It’s it was a long way that he’s come in these last few few years. So kudos to him. I think Shottenheimer deserves a lot of credit because he actually is the one who I think had the vision for this even when McCarthy was the coach uh and and really leaned into it when all of us kind of were like are you crazy? This doesn’t feel like this is tenable. You keep pouring more into the turpin on offense stuff. And the truth of the matter was is that all throughout training camp all of us that were out there at Oxnard were trying to say like, “Hey, Turpin is a thing.” Like it’s not like they’re using him too much for it not to be a thing. Uh, and it became clear right away that it was. And I think as the weeks go on, you’ll see more handoffs, you’ll see more route running, you’ll see more, you know, the reverse. The reverse thing is so crazy because it feels like anytime he gets a ball on those jet sweeps, it’s like an it’s an automatic 10 yards. Like no one can get the angle, at least the first time, right? No one can properly get the angle on him and he just beats it easily to the corner and gets an easy 10 yards to the sticks. It’s crazy. I mean, it sounds wild, but he’s kind of what I thought Tavon Austin would be in the NFL, but he’s he’s just a better player. It’s it’s wild. Uh, a player that’s been a little bit disappointing to me, and this is a guy that I was really excited that the who the Cowboys signed is, Jack Sandborn, uh, coming over from Chicago from this Matt Eberlu scheme. I thought because of the better defensive tackle play ahead of him with OSA and Kenny Clark and Solomon Thomas, who maybe should have been on the list we just talked about. Yeah, I think Sam’s just been bad. Like I just I thought you were going to get a physical downhill linebacker and yeah, you’re gonna have to live with some issues in coverage. I just don’t think he’s been very good. Yeah, just real quick, Sie just shutting down an entire drive by making all four plays. Incredible. Yeah, and I agree, Sambourne. It’s like we saw Kenneth Murray play poorly in the first week and and that wasn’t terribly shocking, but Kenneth Murray really had a good game. Really? We should mention that because we we kind of killed him a little bit last week. I was it was encouraging to see him play much better this week. Absolutely. But I think the thing that was discouraging was I felt a lot of the first week you were just like well is is that also affecting Sandbour’s ability to play because he didn’t really necessarily have a good game. Sanboard also had a pretty bad game this week as well specifically in coverage I felt like. Right. So uh so yeah I I just think that there is an area where we’ve continued to ask for the young guys to play a little bit more. Although Clark didn’t necessarily have as good a game this week as he did last. I still think you need to start seeing more of these younger guys. Leafoul still didn’t get enough snaps as far as I’m concerned last week. So, let’s continue to see more of those guys because I just these, you know, Murray is if he’s going to be inconsistent, that’s fine. Like, at least at least, you know, we can hold off until Oversham comes back, but if Sambort’s just bad, then we can’t keep them on the field. Uh, anybody else you want to mention that’s been disappointing? Again, it’s it’s a small sample size, so don’t overreact. Don’t think that these guys can never play better, but who has been disappointing for you? He’s second on the team in in pressures or pressure rate at least behind James Houston by the way who another guy that wow I mean but Sam Sam Sam Williams you know it’s like I just I’ve expected a little bit more I expected more out of Sam Williams than Marshon Nean and Donovan Ezrau right because he’s a year older than the rest of those guys he’s got more playing times and snaps than those guys even though he missed a year. Uh, and it just feels like he’s he’s he’s done some good things in getting pressure, but he hasn’t finished anything. There’s just too many times when I see him and it feels like he doesn’t know how to use his hands. It’s just inconsistency on a snap-by-nap basis that I’m seeing with Sam. All right, let’s talk about who is the bigger problem on defense for the Cowboys right now. Is it Matt Eberloose or is it the talent? We will get to that next.

Both shows are incredible. Find the Lot on NFL podcast on YouTube or wherever you listen to your podcast. All right, land. This last question comes from Zach. He wants to know what is the bigger concern right now, the talent on defense or Matt Iberluse, the guy who’s calling the defense. I think to me, you know, you knew what Matt Illeuse was when you hired him as far as like what he was going to be doing. I I don’t think anything he’s been doing has been surprising. I think, you know, if if anything, the issue is talent. Like to me, like I do think that there are other defensive coordinators that you could bring in with this talent and maybe have slightly more success, right? Like there are guys who could scheme it up a little bit more that could, you know, that could help kind of support this. But I do think that at this point, like the idea was that we were going to play this zoneheavy scheme. we were going to have a pass rush that got after people and and you know the front office decided to kind of flip things around on the defense a little bit you know a week before the season. I don’t know if you guys heard. So like I think that you know Eberloose is not the issue because the plan was originally to to kind of lean into what he wanted to do and I think it’s a sound plan when you have the the horses to run it. But the problem is this this defense scales to the talent that it has. And right now, like specifically, they have corners that are not necessarily sticky corner guys, but are good in zone who can jump bad errant passes and make interceptions, but that’s kind of reliant on you having the the pass rushers to force the issue. And right now, you just don’t have the pass rushers to force the issue. Yeah. I and I look at it like if you’re week or uh week first week of August, right? If I were to tell you who are your best players on defense, you’d go Micah Parsons, Deon Bland maybe, and Demarian Novershone and none of those guys were on the field in week two for you, right? I mean, and Parsons isn’t coming back, obviously. It really helps to have a dynamic linebacker that can cover all the middle of the field so you’re not getting, you know, all these little five, six yard passes that turn into 12 yard gains. And that happened far too often. And then you have a corner in Bland who can play in the slot, who can play in the outside. He’s just not there. So you’re playing guys that you picked up or picked up on waiverss two weeks ago and they’re playing 65 snaps, the talent’s not good right now. Now, the hope is that once you start getting bland and overshown and maybe somebody like Savon Rell, who Jerry Jones mentioned could be ready in week five, I do think it’s going to improve, but you’re still pretty limited based on what you can do. So, I I don’t put a lot of the blame on Ira Flu. He’s trying to make the best of a bad situation right now. I do think that I flu had a good game plan for what they did against the Eagles, right? Like I I I don’t think the Eagles Yes, I agree. I I I I think the Eagles like you know I think they had like good I you know solutions. I think that they are a sound defense in a way that we haven’t seen in some other you know year years previous to this. I I think that there are still times when there were miscommunications especially this week where it felt like uh the secondary wasn’t always on the same page with what was going on. Um, so I do think that there has been some kind of miscommunication and to me it’s like with that stuff like is that a coaching problem or a personnel problem? It’s it’s both, right? It’s like it’s it’s it’s both of those things. So I do think that we’re still in early days of a new defensive coordinator and I think it’s important to remember that it’s not so we’re dealing with two issues. It’s not just necessarily a sudden lack of talent. It’s a uh you know it’s a coordination issue as not just like defensive coordinator but a coordination between the players and coaches type of thing. So I do think that stuff will start to smooth out a little bit hopefully and then you know hopefully you get some more talent like we talked about guys coming back and and maybe you add add a couple guys through a trade or something. So uh that’s the hope is that the the defense scales with talent increased. Yeah. And we should also remember like it usually takes a while for a new defensive coordinator to implement their scheme. Like I remember last year in week two, your first home game, the Cowboys gave up 41 to Derek Carr. Uh and they had Micah Parsons in that game, right? Like it takes a while. Now, it got better as the season went on. Uh they, you know, so that’s that’s the hope here. Now they don’t have Micah Parsons in their back pocket who could wreck things. And honestly, that’s one of my takeaways. Like having guys like Micah and even someone like Dak and CD, they’re just force multipliers for your units. They can make everybody better. And those having those guys can make life so much easier for everybody and the coaches. Yeah. And and and I think that that works on a small scale and on a large scale like even for the defense overall. You need that talent to cover up for the moments when the scheme fails, right? And and I think the scheme is there to cover up for the moments when the talent fails, right? It’s it they have to work handinand glove. And that’s why Landon is advocating for the Cowboys to go out and trade for Trey Hendrickson pretty clearly. No, we’ll see. I mean, I’m not not advocating against, let’s put it that way, right? Uh the Bengals really don’t ever make trade. So, that’s the hard part. I can’t can’t even think of the last time the Cowboys and Bengals made a trade, but oh well.

  1. Waiting is what will get you bounced 1st rd in the playoffs
    Waiting will get your Divisional rivals a chance to get him and now you're really in trouble
    STOP WAITING AND BE AGGRESSIVE FOR A CHANGE!!!!!!
    Defense needs a pass rusher who will make a difference. Give them a 2nd and they can have whichever DE of their choice and Mazi Smith

  2. I love the trade idea except for his age. Micah is much younger. The 35 million is less of a value since Hendrickson isn't likely to be a star over the life of the contract.

  3. It would be just like the Cowboys to finally have a ton of 1st round picks, NOT be in a superbowl window, and waste those picks trading for a 30 year old edge rusher

  4. 30 yr old DE… who just got a big payday… you want to trade for him? Weird, because we had a young pass rusher on a team that clearly isn't ready for a SB push… but hey what do I know?

  5. You know, Jerry Jones will not do a blockbuster trade I don’t even think they will make it to the playoffs. This is their soft schedule. It will get harder. Their defense is not that good and it would never get better. I hope that I’m wrong, but Cowboys will make no moves.

  6. Why trade away Parsons and sign clowny just for get rid of draft picks for a 30 year old pass rusher just to have to sign him. Stop this madness. The cowboys are not a playoff team. Let's get better draft picks and young players with potential.

  7. Let these you guys in Defense get some playing time before demanding outside help for a premium cost.. Let’s see if we can get to full strength on the back end before just wasting capital…

  8. Dallas 3 biggest needs right now corner safety and Edge rusher they have the picks and Cap space to fill them oh and pay Pickens and Aubrey too must fill them to potentially be a super bowl contender

  9. Sam Williams looks like another bad second round pick and their have been Manny Escobar trysten hill bruce Carter jaylon Smith and schoomaker etc not a great list is it 😢
