   DAL YT 1101

   Brian Schottenheimer says he's a problem solver. Mauricio Rodriguez doesn't believe the Dallas Cowboys have seen much evidence of that. After another Cowboys loss, Dallas is now 3-5 and many of the same problems that have plagued this team all season are still showing up. The Cowboys still can't run the football consistently. They still haven't solved their situational play-calling issues. They still aren't doing enough to get George Pickens involved. They still struggle to handle the blitz. And defensively, Dallas continues to have breakdowns that have been visible since the beginning of the season. That's why Mauricio believes the Cowboys' coaching staff is holding the team back. This isn't simply about one loss to the Arizona Cardinals. It's about the pattern. The Cowboys had one of their best rushing performances against Philadelphia, running for 155 yards behind Javonte Williams. But Mauricio views that game as more of an exception than proof that Dallas has solved its run-game problems. Against Arizona, Williams averaged fewer than three yards per carry, yet Dallas continued to call runs as if the rushing attack would eventually get going. The Cowboys ran the football 39 times, but the runs weren't producing enough. That is part of a larger problem with the offense: Dallas isn't consistently sticking with what works, and it isn't consistently moving away from what doesn't. And Mauricio believes the coaching staff is too often failing to maximize the talent available. The question now becomes whether Dallas would actually consider making a coaching change during the season. Mauricio doesn't expect it. But he also questions how Schottenheimer can return in 2027 without something dramatic changing. The Cowboys still have a chance because the NFC East remains wide open. But Mauricio believes the time for talking about fixing these problems is over. The Cowboys need to actually fix them. Is Brian Schottenheimer holding the Cowboys back? Should Dallas consider a coaching change? And can the Cowboys still save their season at 3-5? Mauricio Rodriguez explains why he believes the Cowboys' biggest problem may be the coaching staff itself.

The Dallas Cowboys and Maxx Crosby are being connected again as the NFL trade deadline approaches. Could Dallas actually land the Raiders superstar? Mauricio Rodriguez isn't predicting that the Cowboys will acquire Crosby, but he believes Dallas will make another move before the trade deadline. So he uses the A to Z Sports Trade Simulator to figure out exactly what it could take for the Cowboys to bring Crosby to Dallas. And some of these trades are WILD. The Trade Simulator assigns every player and draft pick a value based not only on production and talent, but also on contract situation. That makes it possible to build trades that account for the value of a player like Maxx Crosby compared to the Cowboys' available assets. Mauricio's first proposal starts with Dallas' 2027 first-round pick. The simulator says that isn't quite enough by itself, with Dallas still ahead by 333 points. Adding the Cowboys' 2027 second-round pick swings the trade too far toward Las Vegas. So Mauricio finds a middle ground. Dallas sends its 2027 first-round pick and 2028 third-round pick to the Raiders for Maxx Crosby. The simulator considers that a fair trade, and Mauricio says he would seriously consider making it. But that's only the first scenario. Mauricio then explores another trade built around Dallas' 2027 first-round pick and a swap of second-round picks. The simulator can make that deal work as well, although Mauricio admits it's not the kind of trade structure we typically see in the NFL. Then comes the most controversial proposal. What if Dallas sent its 2027 first-round pick AND Donovan Ezeiruaku to Las Vegas for Maxx Crosby? Mauricio would do it. He believes Crosby would represent such a massive upgrade that the Cowboys should be willing to part with a young edge rusher and a first-round pick. He also believes the deal could appeal to the Raiders because Ezeiruaku is young and has multiple years remaining on his contract. That could give Las Vegas a young piece to build around while Dallas gets one of the NFL's premier pass rushers. The final proposal is the blockbuster. Dallas gives up its 2027 first-round pick, 2028 first-round pick and 2027 second-round pick for Crosby. The simulator considers that a fair trade. Mauricio isn't automatically dismissive of it because Dallas could effectively be moving down from the first round into the second round in 2027, while also giving up the 2028 first. The question is whether the Cowboys would actually be willing to pay that price. And then Mauricio makes his prediction. So where does Maxx Crosby actually end up? And should the Cowboys be willing to give up a first-round pick — or even more — to get him? Mauricio Rodriguez uses the A to Z Sports Trade Simulator to build three different Maxx Crosby trades and determine what Dallas would realistically have to give up for the Raiders superstar.

   The Cowboys NEED To Go ALL IN At The Trade Deadline...

And Mauricio Rodriguez believes that should change the way Jerry Jones approaches the NFL trade deadline. The Cowboys are coming off a 3-4 start, while the New York Giants are 4-2-1 and just picked up a major win over the Houston Texans. At first glance, it looks like New York is the clear favorite in the division. But when Mauricio takes a closer look at the remaining schedule, the underlying numbers and the current state of the NFC East, he believes Dallas has a much better opportunity than the standings suggest. The Cowboys currently have a 46% chance to win the NFC East according to the prediction market Mauricio cites. The Giants are at 39%. More importantly, Dallas has the ninth-easiest remaining schedule in the NFL, while New York has the 17th-easiest. That difference could become extremely important over the second half of the season. Mauricio also points out that the Giants' 4-2-1 record needs some context. New York's opponents have a combined 14-33-1 record, and the Cowboys are the best opponent the Giants have faced so far. The Giants have also faced only one top-15 run defense this season. That was the Los Angeles Rams, and New York lost that game 28-6. There are legitimate reasons to believe the Giants are good. But there are also reasons to wonder how they'll perform when the schedule gets tougher. The Cowboys aren't perfect either. Mauricio believes Dallas is roughly a league-average team overall, with the offense carrying much of the team's success while the defense continues to struggle. But that's exactly why he believes the Cowboys need to make a move. Dallas isn't rebuilding. The Cowboys extended CeeDee Lamb. They extended Dak Prescott. They signed Ryan to a four-year deal. The entire construction of this roster has been about winning now. And with the NFC East still completely attainable, Mauricio believes Dallas should take another swing before the trade deadline. The Cowboys already made a major move by acquiring Joey Porter Jr. for a second-round pick. Now they need to address the two biggest remaining holes on the roster. Edge rusher. And linebacker. Mauricio believes the Cowboys simply aren't getting enough pass rush right now. Dallas needs somebody who can consistently help pressure the quarterback. The Cowboys also haven't gotten strong enough play from the middle linebacker position, something that was already a concern coming out of the offseason. If the Cowboys can add legitimate help at either position — or preferably both — Mauricio believes they could dramatically improve their chances of winning the NFC East. And if Dallas doesn't make a move, Mauricio believes the Cowboys could look back and regret it. Should the Cowboys go all in before the trade deadline? Which position should they address first? Edge rusher or linebacker? Mauricio Rodriguez explains why the Cowboys have a real opportunity to win the NFC East — and why that should force Dallas to make another major trade.
