Coach Jonathan Gannon Claims the Dallas Cowboys Have Been Figured Out – But Is It True?

Arizona, Week 9 (NFL 2025) — Ahead of one of the most anticipated matchups of the week, Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has sparked controversy across the NFL world by boldly declaring that the Dallas Cowboys have been completely figured out.

Speaking to reporters after a closed practice session on Tuesday, Gannon confidently stated:
“They’ve become so predictable that after watching a few game tapes, I already know what they’re going to do on almost every play. They’re not the team people used to fear anymore.”
That single quote exploded across social media, igniting a storm of reactions. Cowboys fans dismissed it as “trash talk,” while analysts suggested the Cardinals may have truly cracked the Cowboys’ code, especially after Dallas’ recent offensive struggles.
Are the Cowboys Falling Apart – or Is Gannon Just Playing Mind Games?
The numbers don’t lie. Dallas has lost three of their last four games, struggling particularly against aggressive defensive fronts. Quarterback Dak Prescott has faced relentless pressure, and the once-fluid connection with CeeDee Lamb and Tony Pollard appears disjointed.

This has added weight to Gannon’s statement.
Several analysts believe the Cardinals coaching staff has closely dissected Dallas’ tendencies — from offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer’s play-calling patterns to how Micah Parsons is being schemed defensively.
If Gannon’s words are true, the Cowboys might be heading into a tactical trap.
Still, many see this as a classic psychological ploy. Gannon, known for his fiery confidence, may simply be baiting Dallas into emotional mistakes before kickoff.
Cowboys’ Response: “Talking Is Easy. Winning Isn’t.”
The Cowboys didn’t stay quiet for long.
Star linebacker Micah Parsons fired back with swagger:
“Everybody’s got a plan — until we hit them. Let them talk. The field will do the talking.”
Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer responded with calm defiance:
“If they think they know us, good. That’ll be their first mistake.”
Did the Cardinals Really Crack the Code?
Talk is cheap until the whistle blows.
All eyes are now on the upcoming Cardinals vs Cowboys Week 9 clash, which promises to be one of the most intense games of the season.
If Dallas collapses again, Gannon’s words could look prophetic.
But if the Cowboys rise up and dominate, his statement will go down as one of the boldest bluffs in recent NFL history.
