"The Dallas Cowboys' secondary has been nothing short of a disaster through six weeks in 2025. What was once billed as one of the premier defensive secondaries in football now looks disorganized, undisciplined, and downright exploitable. DaRon Bland, Trevon Diggs, Kaiir Elam, Donovan Wilson, and Juanyeh Thomas have all taken turns getting torched. Dallas has allowed 371 yards passing a game at home, but the most significant loss might not even be on the field - it's on the sidelines. When veteran defensive backs coach Al Harris left for the Chicago Bears this offseason, Dallas lost its stabilizing voice."
"The Washington Commanders' fourth-round pick hasn't had the volume box score watchers crave - just seven catches on 14 targets with no touchdowns through six games. But don't let that stat line fool you. Lane has already flashed the explosive traits that made Adam Peters draft him as a multi-phase weapon. He's already taken a punt to the house. Lane accelerates like he's been shot out of a cannon. And stylistically, he carries shades of Deebo Samuel Sr. He is a fearless, tackle-breaking playmaker who turns short touches into chunk gains."
Dallas' secondary has fallen apart through six weeks, appearing disorganized, undisciplined, and easily attacked. Multiple defensive backs including DaRon Bland, Trevon Diggs, Kaiir Elam, Donovan Wilson, and Juanyeh Thomas have been repeatedly beaten. The Cowboys have allowed 371 passing yards per game at home and lost veteran defensive backs coach Al Harris this offseason, resulting in a unit lacking technique, eye discipline, and cohesion in both man and zone coverage. The Commanders' rookie Jaylin Lane offers explosive, multi-phase playmaking with a punt return touchdown, elite acceleration, and tackle-breaking ability, and could be featured heavily due to Washington's depleted receiver room.
