DEFENSE: Why Jim Leonhard Is the FRESH Voice Cowboys Need | Wild Card UPDATES!  
Podcast: Locked On Cowboys - Daily Podcast On The Dallas Cowboys
Published On: Mon Jan 12 2026
Description: Dallas Cowboys target Jim Leonhard as top defensive coordinator candidate—will his creative schemes transform the defense? Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool break down Leonhard’s background, the influence of Brian Schottenheimer, and what a blitz-heavy, adaptable approach could mean for the secondary. They debate the challenges of Leonhard’s youth and potential staff hires, and question whether Dallas should pursue outside voices like Brian Flores to inject new life into their coaching ranks. Wild Card Weekend provided a major boost to the Cowboys’ draft prospects with the Green Bay Packers’ collapse, locking in the 20th overall pick. The hosts explore implications for Dallas’ draft strategy—will they trade up, move back, or land two instant-impact players? Discussion also covers the importance of tackling, defensive versatility, and why coaching excellence is crucial for a Super Bowl push.
