This week in Cowboys talk

The shows spent the week breaking down a Cowboys team caught between offensive competence and defensive struggles. There's concern about Dallas's offense regressing in formation choices and performance against the blitz, while the defense under new coordinator Christian Parker has underperformed despite preseason optimism. The Eagles matchup Monday night is being framed as a pivotal test for the Cowboys' divisional hopes in a chaotic NFC East where Dallas still holds decent odds despite their 2-4 record.
