Tony Pollard Makes Cowboys’ Lack of WR Depth Less of a Concern

Wide receiver… Running back… Kickoff returner… Tony Pollard was utilized all over the place during his collegiate career with Memphis Tigers. After getting drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth-round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Pollard showed flashes of that versatility his rookie season, so much so it should help him receive an uptick in …

DB Daryl Worley Cowboys' Most Important Free Agent Signing?

Is DB Daryl Worley Cowboys’ Most Important Free Agent Signing?

The Dallas Cowboys were a little more active in free agency this year than they have been in years past. Maybe it was due to the fact they were ushering in a new coaching staff or maybe because they had several holes to fill on their roster.

At 6’4″ tall with 33 1/4 inch arms and legitimate 4.31 speed, Cornerback Chris Westry has the intangibles NFL coaches salivate over. As impressive as those intangibles are, they weren’t enough to get him drafted last year. Instead he ended up with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent and spent the entire 2019 season …

How far can HC Mike McCarthy Take the Dallas Cowboys in 2020?

Having a talented roster is one thing. Knowing how to use that talent is another. That’s hopefully going to be the difference between Jason Garrett and the Dallas Cowboys new Head Coach Mike McCarthy. Sadly, Jason Garrett was never able to take full advantage of the talent the Dallas Cowboys were able to put together during …
