Do the Dallas Cowboys Have a Sean Lee Backup Plan?

If Sean Lee’s the Cowboys Starting SAM LB, Who’s his Backup?

If you believe the talk around the water cooler, Sean Lee is going to be the Dallas Cowboys starting strong side (SAM) linebacker in 2019. On paper this looks like a brilliant move. It puts the Cowboys best three linebackers (Jaylon Smith, Leighton Vander Esch, and Sean Lee) on the field the same time when they …

Can Robert Quinn Regain his Dominant Form With the Cowboys?

Can Robert Quinn Regain his Dominant Form With the Cowboys?

Robert Quinn has been a member of the Dallas Cowboys for a few months now, but it still astounds me they were able to obtain him via trade with the Miami Dolphins for a measly 2020 sixth-round draft pick. To acquire such a talented pass rusher for what is typically a throwaway draft pick is a …

Dallas Cowboys OL not the Best According to 2019 PFF Rankings

Dallas Cowboys OL 2nd Best in PFF’s 2019 Preseason Rankings

Pro Football Focus (PFF) recently released their 2019 preseason offensive line rankings for all 32 teams in the NFL. Despite the hype and league wide recognition the Dallas Cowboys OL typically receives, they failed to claim the top spot once again. That honor went to the Philadelphia Eagles for the third consecutive year. It’s debatable the …

Can Anyone Unseat Jeff Heath as the Cowboys Starting Safety?

Can Anyone Unseat Jeff Heath as the Cowboys Starting Safety?

Good or bad, Jeff Heath has been the one consistent thing about the Dallas Cowboys safety position these last couple of years. He’s had a revolving door of starters next to him, but he’s somehow managed to retain his starting status and could make it three years in a row when all is said and done. …

How Chidobe Awuzie Could Help Solidify the Cowboys Safety Position

How Chidobe Awuzie Could Help Solidify the Cowboys Safety Position

Opinions may vary, but it looks as if the Dallas Cowboys weakest link on their roster right now is at the safety position. They’ve added some new faces to the mix since the completion of the 2018 season, but other than Xavier Woods no one else really inspires a lot of confidence the position has been …

Does Jamize Olawale Complete Jason Garrett's 90s Themed Team Transformation?

Will FB Jamize Olawale be a Surprise Offensive Weapon in 2019?

With Kellen Moore taking over as the Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator, things are certainly going to change as far as how the offense operates. One of those changes we could see is the utilization of the fullback position, which could make Jamize Olawale a surprise offensive weapon in 2019. The Dallas Cowboys are still one of …

Cowboys 2019 Roster Eerily Similar to Their 1995 Super Bowl Team

Cowboys 2019 Roster Remarkably Similar to Their 1995 Super Bowl Team

Jason Garrett hasn’t been a perfect head coach for the Dallas Cowboys by any means, but you can’t fault what he, Will McClay, and the Jones’ have built these last few years. They’ve put together arguably one of the most talented rosters a lot of us have ever seen, quite possibly the best in the history …

Can DT Trysten Hill Best Maliek Collins' Rookie Stats From 2016?

Can DT Trysten Hill Best Maliek Collins’ Rookie Stats From 2016?

Let’s rewind things a little bit and think back to the 2016 NFL Draft when the Dallas Cowboys selected Defensive Tackle Maliek Collins out of Nebraska with the 67th overall pick in the third-round. Defensive Coordinator Rod Marinelli was noticeably excited in the Cowboys draft room, evidenced by his fist bumps with those who were in …

Will TE Blake Jarwin see an Increased Offensive Role in 2019?

Can TE Blake Jarwin Poach Snaps From Jason Witten?

Don’t look now, but Tight End Blake Jarwin may be ready to climb out of obscurity and announce to the world his ready for a much larger offensive role with the Dallas Cowboys. With Jason Witten back in the mix though, that could be easier said than done. Jason Witten is expected to become the Dallas …

Is Kavon Frazier Fighting a Losing Battle With the Dallas Cowboys?

Is Kavon Frazier Fighting a Losing Battle With the Dallas Cowboys?

Dallas Cowboys Safety Kavon Frazier has one year remaining on his rookie contract, but may not see the end of it with the same team who drafted him. In fact, it really looks as if he is already fighting a losing battle in Dallas. The Dallas Cowboys signed Free Agent George Iloka and drafted Donavan Wilson …

Predicting Cowboys RB/WR Tony Pollard's Rookie Season Statistics

Bold Prediction: Tony Pollard has Rookie Season Similar to Alvin Kamara

The Dallas Cowboys drafted over half a dozen players this year in the 2019 NFL Draft, but the only name we have really been hearing anything about is rookie Running Back/Wide Receiver Tony Pollard. Cowboys Nation is really intrigued with the former Memphis Tiger, so today I thought I’d take a look at what he could …

Cowboys 2017 Roster Projection: Preseason Week 2

Predicting Dallas Cowboys Roster Locks, Pre-Training Camp Edition

With the Dallas Cowboys training camp just around the corner, I thought it would be a good idea to draw attention to their current roster. From top to bottom, the Cowboys have one of the deepest rosters at their disposable heading into the 2019 season. But in order to get under the league mandated 53-man roster …

Iron Sharpens Iron, Robert Quinn vs. Tyron Smith Battle One Worth Watching

Iron Sharpens Iron, Robert Quinn vs. Tyron Smith a Battle Worth Watching

There is no shortage of position battles to keep an eye on the remainder of the Dallas Cowboys offseason, but one I’m particularly intrigued with is between players of opposition, Robert Quinn and Tyron Smith. This is one of those “iron sharpens iron” battles that could make them all the better for it. If you’re unfamiliar …

Can Kellen Moore Have Kris Richard-like Coaching Impact With Cowboys?

Can Kellen Moore Have a Kris Richard-like Coaching Impact With Cowboys?

Although still unproven, much is expected, and needed, from the Dallas Cowboys new Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore. It is believed he will be an upgrade over the vanilla playcalling of his mentor Scott Linehan, but the proof is in the pudding as they say. I don’t know about you, but I’m really hoping Kellen Moore can …

Xavier Woods is About to Make Everyone Forget About Earl Thomas

Xavier Woods’ Ascension Will Make Everyone Forget About Earl Thomas

Nearly all of Cowboys Nation was hoping the Dallas Cowboys would somehow be able to bring future Hall of Fame Safety Earl Thomas on board this offseason, but nothing ever materialized on that front. I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing, because I believe Xavier Woods is going to ascend as a player this year …

Should Cowboys Start Preparing for Life Without Ezekiel Elliott?

Will Anyone Challenge Ezekiel Elliott for the 2019 Rushing Title?

Stack them up and knock him down, that’s been Ezekiel Elliott’s mindset as it pertains to running the ball since entering the league in 2016. I’d say that mindset has served him pretty well, especially considering he’s been the leading rusher in the NFL twice in the last three seasons. If not for his shortened 2017 …
