Today RJ & Bobby broke down Brian Schottenheimer's growing role within the Dallas Cowboys and what made him stand out during the offseason. From his thoughtful staff hires to his clear communication and leadership style, Schottenheimer earned praise across the board. We reacted to an article from The Dallas Morning News, which gave deeper insight into Schottenheimer’s upbringing, his football pedigree, and how he's prepared his entire life for a moment like this. We also discussed how Schottenheimer’s leadership extends beyond the game, highlighting his emotional intelligence, his prioritization of family, and even small gestures like handing out Whataburger to staffers. Whether Schottenheimer will thrive as a play-caller remains to be seen, but one thing’s clear: he's already made a strong impression in Dallas.
