Dallas Cowboys 2019 Roster Projection: Final Edition

Why Michael Gallup Could be Cowboys Most Important WR in 2019

The Dallas Cowboys currently have a pretty impressive and talented group of wide receivers on the roster. But, one of them stands out above the rest in my opinion. No, I’m not talking about Amari Cooper, who the Cowboys sent a first-round pick to the Oakland Raiders to acquire via trade last year. I’m talking about …

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly From Cowboys 2019 Season Opener

DALLAS COWBOYS FOOTBALL IS BACK!!! Yes, I type that in all caps and I’m not ashamed in the least. That’s exactly how pumped up I am right now after the Cowboys thoroughly manhandled the New York Giants in the 2019 season opener. The Dallas Cowboys 35-17 trouncing of their division foe was an impressive sight to witness. …

Potential Ripple Effects of La'el Collins' Contract Extension

Potential Ripple Effects of RT La’el Collins’ Contract Extension

While nearly all of us were anxiously awaiting news that the Dallas Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott had finally mutually agreed-upon a contract extension, an extension agreement with Right Tackle La’el Collins surprisingly materialized. As Gomer Pyle would say “Surprise, Surprise, Surprise… Gall-lee“. I don’t think anyone outside of the Cowboys organization could have accurately predicted La’el Collins was …

Is Alfred Morris' Job Security Tied to Ezekiel Elliott?

Is Alfred Morris’ Job Security Tied to Ezekiel Elliott?

Tony Pollard, Alfred Morris, and the Fullback Jamize Olawale are the only three running backs currently on the Dallas Cowboys 53-man roster. Things could change rather quickly though once Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys finally mutually agree upon a contract extension, which if rumors are true could be any day now. That’s good news for Dallas, but not …

Cowboys DE/DT Kerry Hyder Continues to “Wreck em” in Preseason

“Wreck em!“, is a phrase Dallas Cowboys new Defensive Lineman Kerry Hyder is very familiar with due to his collegiate days at Texas Tech University, but it’s also battle cry his teammates might want to make their own as well. It’s okay if you don’t understand the “Wreck em” reference I mentioned above. I doubt many …

Final Cowboys 53-Man Roster Prediction: Who’s in, Who’s out?

The Dallas Cowboys completely dominated the Houston Texans Saturday night in their “dress rehearsal” preseason game. With state pride on the line, Dallas handled their business and looked quite impressive doing so.

5 Cowboys Players who Earned a Roster Spot Against the Texans

The Dallas Cowboys “dress rehearsal” game Saturday night against the Houston Texans couldn’t have gone any better if it had been scripted. The 34-0 shellacking was awfully impressive, but this game had much more meaning than what the final score was. It was yet another chance to evaluate the roster ahead of the fourth and final …

LB Justin Phillips Making a Case to Become a Roster Lock With Cowboys

LB Justin Phillips Making a Case to Become a Roster Lock With Cowboys

In Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch, the Dallas Cowboys arguably have the best linebacker duo in the entire NFL. They also have some pretty solid backups in Sean Lee and Joe Thomas, but the depth behind those four is completely up in the air. That is excellent news for an undrafted LB like Justin Phillips. …

Can WR Devin Smith Sneak Onto the Cowboys 53-Man Roster?

Can WR Devin Smith Sneak Onto the Dallas Cowboys 53-Man Roster?

Wide Receiver Devin Smith is quietly putting himself into contention to make the Dallas Cowboys final 53-man roster. He’s flown under the radar pretty much all offseason, but he starting to make a name for himself in the first two preseason games. Will it be enough to make the cut? The first thing you really need …

#DALvsRAMS: Tony Pollard Proves he’s no Longer Darrell Henderson’s Backup

For the better part of three years Tony Pollard was forced to play second fiddle to Darrell Henderson during their time with the Memphis Tigers. But, Saturday night in the second week of preseason Pollard emerged from the shadows and proved he’s no longer Henderson’s backup. Tony Pollard put on an impressive show Saturday night against …

Dallas Cowboys second-year Wide Receiver Michael Gallup had a pretty solid rookie season in 2018, but it’s looking as if it could be nothing compared to what’s in store for him in 2019. The Dallas Cowboys first-team offense has only played a handful of snaps in each of the first two preseason games, but WR Michael …

Brett Maher, Jon’Vea Johnson Amongst Players to Watch in Preseason Week 2

The Dallas Cowboys were able to navigate their way through the Week 1 preseason matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, although they probably would’ve preferred a different outcome. Despite that though, there was quite a bit of good that took place last Saturday night and not so surprisingly some bad as well. It’s to be expected …

Dallas Cowboys Defensive Line Looking Absolutely Stacked

Don’t look now, but compared to years past the Dallas Cowboys defensive line is looking as if it is absolutely stacked full of talent. Whether it’s defensive end or defensive tackle, the depth at both positions looks pretty formidable right now.
