The Dallas Cowboys Have a Potential Breakout Star that No One is Really Talking About

In this episode of the DoubleMove Podcast, Zac breaks down why Dallas Cowboys EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku could be one of the biggest breakout candidates on the roster in 2026. After a quiet rookie season impacted by injury, recovery, and a crowded defensive picture, Ezeiruaku now enters Year 2 with a much clearer path to playing time in Christian Parker’s new-look Cowboys defense. With Dallas shifting into more 3-4 principles, more outside linebacker usage, and a defensive structure that should create cleaner pass-rush opportunities, the pieces may finally be lining up for Ezeiruaku to make a real jump. Zac discusses Ezeiruaku’s college production, his rookie-year context, the offseason recovery, the Cowboys’ defensive changes, and why his skill set could fit perfectly into this new version of the Dallas defense. If the Cowboys are looking for a young pass rusher to step forward opposite their established defensive pieces, Ezeiruaku might be the name people are sleeping on. Topics include Donovan Ezeiruaku’s role in the Cowboys defense, Christian Parker’s 3-4 scheme, the Cowboys pass rush in 2026, Dallas’ young defensive talent, Year 2 breakout candidates, and why Ezeiruaku could become a major piece for the Cowboys this season.

The Dallas Cowboys Offense Somehow Keeps Getting Better.. Thanks to Their WR3

In this episode of the DoubleMove Cowboys Podcast, we’re talking about one of the most underrated pieces of the Dallas Cowboys offense: Ryan Flournoy. CeeDee Lamb is still the star. George Pickens gives Dallas a true outside weapon. But if Flournoy really has developed into a legitimate WR3, this Cowboys passing attack could become a lot more dangerous than people realize. We break down how Flournoy got to this point, why his 2025 production matters, where he did most of his damage on the field, and how Dallas can use him as a short-to-intermediate weapon who creates after the catch. This isn’t about forcing him to be a superstar — it’s about him becoming the exact type of third receiver who can punish defenses for selling out to stop CeeDee and Pickens. We also look at how the Cowboys’ offense already ranked near the top of the NFL in 2025, why the defense dragged down the overall team results, and why Flournoy’s next step could make this group even harder to defend in 2026. Topics include: Ryan Flournoy’s growth into the Cowboys’ WR3 How Flournoy fits next to CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens Why his short/intermediate usage matters Cowboys 2025 offensive rankings How Dallas can create matchup problems in 11 personnel Why Flournoy could be the “forgotten guy” defenses regret ignoring The Cowboys don’t need Ryan Flournoy to be CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens. They just need him to be good enough that defenses can’t hide their third corner on him anymore — and based on what we saw in 2025, that might be exactly where this is headed.

How the Dallas Cowboys Just Got MAJOR Help in Round 1... Thanks to the Giants?

The board just shifted—and it might’ve handed Dallas exactly what they needed. On this episode of DoubleMove, Zac breaks down how the Dallas Cowboys could benefit BIG TIME from the New York Giants trading for Dexter Lawrence and jumping back into the top 10. With the Cincinnati Bengals now OUT of that range, a guaranteed defensive pick disappears—and that changes everything for Dallas at #12. We dig into what this means for the draft board, why the Giants’ roster (on BOTH sides of the ball) makes them unpredictable, and how their decision-making could push one of those top defensive prospects right into the Cowboys’ lap. From Caleb Downs to Sonny Styles, the names Cowboys fans have been watching for months are suddenly a lot more attainable. Plus, we talk through the ripple effect across the top 10—why teams like Washington, New Orleans, and others could prioritize offense, and how that “offense-heavy” trend could set Dallas up perfectly. And if the board falls just right? Don’t rule out a potential trade-up scenario. If you’re trying to map out how the Cowboys land a difference-maker in Round 1… this is one of the clearest paths yet.

Welcome back to DoubleMove — where we break down everything going on with the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL Draft. In today’s episode, we’re diving into Peter Schrager’s latest mock draft… and I’ll be honest, this one might’ve laid out a dream scenario for the Cowboys. We’re talking about the possibility of Caleb Downs falling to Dallas at 12 — and why that would be a no-brainer, instant-impact move for this defense. But at the same time… I’m not sure we should be getting our hopes up just yet. We also break down what’s happening inside the top 10 — including a heavy offensive run, the rise of offensive tackles like Francis Mauigoa and Spencer Fano, and why wide receiver might be a bigger priority for teams than people expect. Plus, we get into a really interesting trade-up scenario involving Rueben Bain Jr. at pick 8… and why that might actually be more realistic than it sounds. Then at 20, we’re talking about Akheem Messidor — one of the most “Cowboys-type” picks you’ll see in mock drafts right now. Day 1 contributor, experienced, and someone who can immediately help fix one of the biggest issues on this roster.
