With Brian Schottenheimer saying he’s been going through his father Marty Schottenheimer’s old playbooks, these are the position groups I’ll be watching most closely during camp and preseason.

First, the interior offensive line. Second, Hunter Luepke. Third, the entire running back room and how the Cowboys utilize that backfield as a stable rather than relying on just one player.

Marty Ball was built around physicality, dominant interior line play, fullback involvement, and a deep, productive rushing attack. Throughout his career, Marty Schottenheimer consistently featured these positions and often had multiple Pro Bowl-caliber players thriving within them at the same time. If Brian is truly pulling from that philosophy, these are the groups I’d be circling first.

Going into training camp, what position groups are y’all paying the closest attention to?

For me:
EDGE
OT
CB
RB

EDGE is easily my biggest question mark. I think we’ll learn a lot about this defense once the pads come on and we start seeing who can consistently win up front.
I’m also watching the offensive tackle room closely. With the investments made there, I want to see if that group can become a true sense of security and protection for Dak.

Cornerback is another one. There are a lot of moving pieces, and camp should give us a much better idea of what the depth chart and rotation could look like.

And finally, running back. My ideal scenario is that Dallas keeps bringing in competition and lets the best players earn those spots. I’d love to see a true battle for the backup roles behind Javonte Williams rather than just handing them out.

🚀 Jaydon Blue’s biggest advantage this season may not be his speed…

It may be his mindset.

Instead of chasing labels, touches, or expectations, Blue is embracing whatever role helps the Dallas Cowboys win. That humility could be the key that unlocks his full versatility.

Pass catching.
Explosive plays.
Motion weapon.
Change-of-pace runner.
Mismatch creator.

The more roles he’s willing to embrace, the more dangerous he becomes. 👀🔥
