The Herd with Colin Cowherd

Colin’s top takes of the week.
First, Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.
They start with Colin attending Bears practice and Caleb Williams looking incredibly fast after dropping 15 pounds and looking far more accurate with his throws and they look for him to make a big jump in his second year with Ben Johnson (3:30).
They also discuss how they each prepare for the NFL season as broadcasters (10:00).
Then, Colin is joined by Matt Mosley, Cowboys insider and host of the Doomsday Podcast.
They discuss Brian Schottenheimer outperforming expectations in the 2025 season, and what his secret sauce is as head coach (22:30). They laud Dak Prescott for his leadership skills and his ability to rise above the pressure of playing quarterback for the Cowboys (27:30).
Finally, they break down how the Cowboys will use their prized rookie safety Caleb Downs and Matt explains why Downs could become one of their best defensive players but shouldn’t be expected to be the savior for the defense (35:00).

Thoughts on Jayden Daniels not being happy with someone else at LSU wearing his old number 5. Retire the number or don’t. LSU wanted the emotion of a retired jersey without the paperwork of one. And now a teenager is standing in the middle of a fight that was never his.

Wednesday, Russell Westbrook posted a video. Three and a half minutes. Michael B. Jordan narrating. And a caption that I have not been able to put down since I read it: “Sometimes you don’t even know when you’ve already watched the end. You had to be there. And now it’s over.
