Jimmy Johnson says Cowboys' 'Top-heavy' roster must avoid injuries in 2025
Citing a top-heavy roster, Johnson says Dallas must stay healthy to contend. Last season saw Dallas experience several obstacles, but none likely bigger than the injury bug, which most notably hit quarterback Dak Prescott last November with a hamstring injury that landed the Pro Bowl signal caller on injured reserve, leading Johnson to make his first and most obvious key for Dallas to return to its winning ways: health. "The biggest thing for the Cowboys, it's a big thing for any team, is to stay healthy,' Jimmy Johnson told 'I think it's probably more important for the Cowboys to stay healthy for a couple reasons. No. 1, they're top-heavy salary wise. And so, their 53-man roster may not be quite as talented at the bottom as some of these other teams." Entering its 66th season as a franchise, the Cowboys have not won a world title since the Johnson-built dynasty of the 1990s. The current team is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 7-10 finish in 2024. The Hall of Fame offered his insight and identified the key factor that must unfold for the Cowboys to bounce back in what has become a more competitive NFC East. Dallas has committed a significant amount of money recently, primarily to Prescott ($60 million per season), All-Pro CeeDee Lamb ($34 million per season), Pro Bowler Trevon Diggs ($19.4 million per season), and star defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa ($20 million per season). Micah Parsons, who is seeking a long term extension ahead of the 2025 season awaits his turn. While the health of star talent will be a key factor, another point of emphasis regarding health that Johnson noted is the late gauntlet stretch of the team's season. Dallas, between weeks 12 and 17, will face off against six playoff teams from the previous year. All six teams (Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, Chargers, and Commanders) have playoff expectations in 2025, with some even being considered contenders, and four of them won 14 or more games the year before. Meaning all hands will need to be on deck for this historic stretch. "The other thing is, they have a very difficult stretch there toward the end of the season," Johnson added. "So, if they're not at full strength when they're playing those top teams – the second half of at the end of the season, it's going to be a problem. So, staying healthy is the No. 1 key." For seven decades, Johnson was deeply involved in the game of football, carving out a Hall of Fame career. As a player, he helped the University of Arkansas win the 1964 national championship. As a coach, he won multiple titles, including back-to-back Super Bowls, and from 2002 to 2025, helped entertain millions as part of Fox Sports' coverage of the NFL. With a new season approaching, Johnson for the first time since his youth, won't be involved in football. The legendary coach, announced his retirement from broadcasting following the 2024 NFL season and is now enjoying his post football career down in Florida and in his restaurant Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill. While Johnson might be relaxing on the water, football will never be far out of reach for the man who won a pair of world titles with the Dallas Cowboys. Johnson, who was inducted into the Cowboys' ring of honor during the 2023 season, put his mark on a franchise that was in the cellar when he was brought along in 1989 after coaching the University of Miami to a national championship. His former Arkansas teammate, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, handed him the keys with confidence to the football operations side to help steer the team back in the right direction, and just five years later, the Cowboys would lift the Lombardi trophy in back-to-back years between 1992 and 1993. Now in 2025, Jones is hoping that first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer can help the team reach that same level. While the hiring of Schottenheimer surprised many, the 51-year-old head coach, who is the son of the great Marty Schottenheimer, has Johnson's full vote of confidence ahead of the new season. "Well, I knew his dad, Marty a long time ago when I was coaching Oklahoma State," Johnson recalled. "Marty was with Cleveland and came down to visit with one our players. He ended up drafting Chris Rockins (second round, 1984). But I've known Marty for years. "Later on, Brian was working in Jacksonville. Urban Meyer had me fly down and visit with their staff about drafting players, and schedules, etc. I talked to Brian some there in Jacksonville. I think he's enthusiastic and is an outstanding coach. I think he'll do a really good job with the Cowboys." The Cowboys will begin training camp on Monday and, in less than 50 days, will kick off the Schottenheimer era on Thursday, September 4, when the team visits the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles for the 2025 NFL season opener.

Ronny Mauricio elicits boos from Mets fans following costly error
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free The Citi Field crowd might have started in a good mood after the ceremony honoring David Wright before the game. But they certainly didn't end that way, showering boos across the final innings of a 5-2 loss to the Reds. On such episode of jeering came on what appeared to be a double play that went awry. From the way the ball left Tyler Stephenson's bat, the result seemed predictable. It would've allowed Reed Garrett, who'd just replaced Clay Holmes and inherited a first-and-third jam in the sixth inning, to escape after just one pitch. 3 Cincinnati Reds designated hitter Austin Hays (12) slides safely into third base as New York Mets third baseman Ronny Mauricio (10) fields an infield single by first baseman Spencer Steer during the sixth inning at Citi Field. Brad Penner-Imagn Images But after Ronny Mauricio fielded the 73 mph grounder at third, his throw pulled Brett Baty to the left and off second base, turning a potential inning-ending double play into a fielder's choice that allowed a run to score. One batter later, Jake Fraley doubled to plate Stephenson. 3 Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley reaches third base on his RBI double as New York Mets third baseman Ronny Mauricio reacts along side him in the sixth inning at Citi Field in Queens, New York, USA, Saturday, July 19, 2025. JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST Mauricio's miscue led to the Mets eventually surrendering the two insurance runs they couldn't afford to allow with a mostly quiet offense struggling again. 'Maybe trying to be a little too quick there, especially knowing the runners from home to first,' manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'You have the catcher there, and maybe just a little too quick there when you know that knowing the runner and the situation there, making sure that you finish the play there. And we didn't do it.' Mauricio, who went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts at the plate, was one of the Mets who received boos from the sold-out crowd at Citi Field. Two innings after the errant throw, after Jeff McNeil led off the eighth by reaching on an error, Mauricio had a chance to extend the Mets' attempt at a rally, but instead, he grounded the first pitch back up the middle and allowed shortstop Elly De La Cruz to easily step on second and snap a throw to first. 3 New York Mets third base Ronny Mauricio (10) strikes out in the seventh inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field, Friday, July 18, 2025, in Queens, NY. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST He also had a chance to deliver in the first inning with the bases loaded — an opportunity to help the Mets build on an early lead after Mark Vientos' RBI single — but grounded out to second, adding another wrinkle to his rocky 31-game stretch in the majors that followed a return from the torn ACL that cost him all of 2024. At times, Mauricio has flashed his potential and provided a glimpse at the tantalizing power with four homers. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS At other points, he has produced reminders, such as the .096 average and .279 OPS with runners in scoring position he entered Saturday with, for why he's stuck in a three-man logjam at third base with Baty and Vientos. 'He's been really good for us defensively,' Mendoza said of Mauricio's 17 starts at third base. 'Continues to make plays — not only the routine plays, but I feel like he's showing some range and his ability to throw from different angles, coming in to the ball, backhanded. Overall, he's been solid for us there.' But with the Mets needing him to execute a routine play, Mauricio faltered.

Ranking all position groups, Cowboys have $127 million in cap spending across in top 3
Dallas did a lot more than it typically does during this most recent offseason. They added a 10-sack veteran defensive end, traded for multiple starting defenders, and added depth to the offensive line and defensive front seven. The Cowboys roster will be outstanding if healthy, with six All-Pros along with Osa Odighizuwa, DeMarvion Overshown, and Cooper Beebe as players who tht kind of potential. Still, the Cowboys have never been able to put together a complete roster like the Philadelphia Eagles or San Francisco 49ers have had over the last few years. While some position groups are spectacular, others have holes in need of step ups. Here are the rankings of Cowboys positions from best to worst. Defensive Ends The edge rushers top the list with Micah Parsons being the superstar supplemented by another double-digit sack artist in Dante Fowler Jr. Three second-round options in Marshand Kneeland, Sam Williams and the recently signed 2025 pick Donovan Ezeiruaku on rookie deals with loads of potential. Dallas has $40 million on the offseason books at the edge. Wide receivers The wideouts rank second, and like defensive end, superstar CeeDee Lamb elevates the entire position. He is paired with a genuine freak show outside receiver in George Pickens, and they combine to be one of the top duos in the NFL. The depth behind them is limited but includes a former second-round pick who has never had quality quarterback play and a speed option who has made a ton of plays on limited touches. Dallas has $35 million on the offseason books at the edge. Quarterbacks Dak Prescott had a down year and another injury, but he was second in MVP voting and an All-Pro in 2023. They finally have a backup with a ton of potential to work after trading for Joe Milton and Will Grier as a veteran QB to try and replicate Cooper Rush's past success. Dallas has $52.5 million on the offseason books at the edge. Linebackers This position has a ton of talent and potential. They are being paired with the top linebacker developer in the NFL, Matt Eberflus, so they should reach their full potential for Dallas. Overshown was voted a top 10 linebacker, but he will be out most of the year. Kenneth Murray, Jack Sanborn, and Marist Liufau all need to step up until he returns, and they all possess the raw talent to do so when channeled correctly. Offensive line Dallas has one of the best interior groups in the league with All-Pro Tyler Smith, first-round pick Tyler Booker, and second-year center Beebe. But the OL isn't in the top three because their tackle play was atrocious in 2024. Terence Steele could bounce back after struggling under former offensive line coach Mike Solari, and Tyler Guyton has the traits to be an excellent left tackle, but he needs to be stronger mentally. They have good depth with Brock Hoffman, T.J. Bass, Robert Jones, and Asim Richards. Tight ends Jake Ferguson had a down season, but injuries to himself and the quarterback were a significant factor in that. Brevyn Spann-Ford is a 6-foot-7, 280-pound blocking option. John Stephens Jr., Rivaldo Fairweather, and Tyler Neville are young players who could stretch the field, and Luke Schoonmaker took a significant jump from his rookie year. The position isn't higher because it's more potential than substance, thus far in their careers. Cornerbacks The corners would be higher, but injuries significantly reduce the ranking. If it's Trevon Diggs, DaRon Bland, Shavon Revel Jr., Josh Butler, and Kaiir Elam with Caelen Carson and Israel Mukuamu as the depth guys, they could be as high as third in these rankings. Where the team stands going into the season is too unknown to put them higher. Running backs Some rankings would have running backs last, but Dallas has figured out the correct way to build the room: acquire cheap veterans and utilize the draft to build out the unit. Looking around the league at how many Day 3 draft picks produce as rookies, Jaydon Blue could do a good job as an explosive runner who can catch the ball. Javonte Williams is young enough to bounce back from injury, and with another year of healing, a better offensive line, and coaching staff, the unit should improve overall as well. Safety Safety is challenging because while many teams would consider starting one of Donovan Wilson, Malik Hooker, Juanyeh Thomas, or Markquese Bell, none of them would be viewed as impactful defenders who could significantly improve a defense. The Cowboys have multiple competent safety options, but no impactful ones. Defensive tackle DT is the worst position on the team, even though Odighizuwa is a top-five pressure player at the position. The issue is that he is a poor run defender, and the team has no quality options to play next to him. Mazi Smith hasn't shown that ability to this point, Jay Toia is a seventh-round rookie at a position that typically takes a few seasons for players to develop, and Solomon Thomas is a more minor player like Odighizuwa, who isn't great as a pass rusher or a run defender. This is the only position where the team has one high-quality starter, and everything else is unknown. You can find Mike Crum on Twitter @cdpiglet or on YouTube at Across the Cowboys podcast
