Michael Gallup Has Become a Sponge, Soaking up as Much as Possible

Michael Gallup has a Sponge-like Offseason Approach In Year 2

“Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?” Well…we all know the answer isn’t Dallas Cowboys Wide Receiver Michael Gallup, but he does have something in common with SpongeBob SquarePants. The Cowboys second-year WR seems to have watched quite a bit of the yellow, porous children’s cartoon, because he’s become a sponge as well. Okay, that …

Do Tony Pollard or Mike Weber Have Starting Potential?

Do RBs Tony Pollard or Mike Weber Have Starting Potential as Rookies?

Other than his rookie season, there always seems to be a dark cloud hanging over the head of Dallas Cowboys Running Back Ezekiel Elliott. Heading into the 2019 season is no exception due to Zeke’s altercation with a security guard at a music festival, which is why I believe Tony Pollard and Mike Weber could be …

Sportrac Predicts Extensions for Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and Amari Cooper

Who is “Mr. Indispensable” for the Dallas Cowboys in 2019?

As much as we would like for it to be true, some players in the NFL are just more important to their team’s success than others. The Dallas Cowboys of course are no exception. They have more than a few players who are absolutely detrimental to the organization’s success or failure this year, but who is …

Kasey Redfern, a Name Dallas Cowboys Fans Might Want to get to Know

Kasey Redfern, a Name Dallas Cowboys Fans Might Want to get to Know

Year after year the Dallas Cowboys try to do their best to create competition at every position, especially since Jason Garrett has taken over as head coach. Creating competition throughout the roster has actually become one of his coaching mantras, which is no surprise coming from a former backup quarterback. Believe it or not, this year …

Can Jon Kitna Help QB Dak Prescott Reclaim his Rookie Magic?

Can Jon Kitna Help QB Dak Prescott Reclaim his Rookie Magic?

As a rookie, it looked as if Quarterback Dak Prescott could do no wrong. He was pretty much thrown to the wolves after the back injury Tony Romo sustained in Week 3 in the preseason against the Seattle Seahawks, but he responded in such a way it was almost as if he had the magic touch. …

After Year 1, Leighton Vander Esch/Brian Urlacher Comparison Not Far Off

Leighton Vander Esch, Brian Urlacher Comparison Not Far Off After Year 1

It’s completely unfair to compare an unproven, incoming rookie into the NFL to a Hall of Fame player, but that’s exactly what the Dallas Cowboys and several draft “analysts” did by comparing Leighton Vander Esch to Brian Urlacher a little over a year ago. It was pretty laughable at the time, but not so much now …

Randall Cobb More Than Just Cole Beasley's Replacement With Cowboys?

Randall Cobb More Than Just Cole Beasley’s Replacement?

You may have forgotten, and I know some of you have, but Randall Cobb, the longtime Green Bay Packers wide receiver, is now a member of the Dallas Cowboys. He was one of the few free agent signings by the Cowboys, and was brought aboard to replace Cole Beasley in the slot. But, could he actually …

Don’t Expect a Sophomore Slump From Dallas Cowboys 2018 Draft Class

The story is just beginning for the Dallas Cowboys 2018 draft class, but based on the first chapter it’s hard to imagine them having any kind of sophomore slump. Now that it’s time to turn the page to see what’s in store in chapter 2 for last year’s rookie class heading into their second-year in the …

Who Will be Cowboys' Main Punt Returner in 2019, Tavon Austin?

Can the Cowboys Depend on Tavon Austin as Their Main Punt Returner?

Now that Cole Beasley has taken his talents North after joining the Buffalo Bills this offseason, the Dallas Cowboys now have to find his replacement as not only a slot receiver, but as a punt returner as well. The latter could be the more difficult to replace and what I want to discuss today, particularly as …

Did a Year Away Help Rejuvenate TE Jason Witten's Game?

Did a Year Away Help Rejuvenate TE Jason Witten’s Game?

Jason Witten is 37 years old, retired from the NFL after the completion of 2017 season to try his luck as an announcer in the booth, but has now decided to come out of retirement to rejoin the Dallas Cowboys? It seems a little unrealistic to think he can come back after a year away from …

Undrafted WR Jon'Vea Johnson kept turning Heads at OTAs

Undrafted WR Jon’Vea Johnson Turning Heads at Cowboys OTAs

Former Toledo Wide Receiver didn’t receive an invite to the 2019 NFL Combine or hear his name called in any of the seven rounds at this year’s NFL Draft, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t possess the talent to make someone’s roster in the league. After signing with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent, …

Should Cowboys Consider Trading for Disgruntled Packers S Josh Jones?

Should Cowboys Consider Trading for Disgruntled Packers S Josh Jones?

Despite their insistence that upgrading the safety position was a top offseason priority, the Dallas Cowboys haven’t really done much to improve the backend of their secondary. They did sign former Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals Safety George Iloka as a free agent and drafted Donovan Wilson in the sixth-round in this year’s NFL Draft, but …

Why Cowboys Should Consider Signing RB Jay Ajayi a Top Priority

Why Cowboys Should Make Signing RB Jay Ajayi a Top Priority

Despite adding Tony Pollard and Mike Weber through the 2019 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys still don’t have a clear-cut running back to back up Ezekiel Elliott this season. I like the upside of both of these rookies, but I think it would be wise on the Cowboys part to bring in a more established player …

Will “Rumored” Position Change Help Keep LB Sean Lee Healthy?

Rumors and speculation. That’s the point of the offseason we have reached with the Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the NFL. That’s not necessarily a bad thing because it means players are staying out of trouble, but it’s still a slow time nonetheless. Today, I’d like to dive into some of the rumors and speculation …

Travis Frederick's Health Shouldn't be the Only Concern Along Cowboys' OL 1

Travis Frederick’s Health not the Only Concern Along Cowboys’ OL

After Travis Frederick was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre, an autoimmune disease that attacks the body’s immune system, it looked as if the Dallas Cowboys 2018 season was over before it even got started. Fast-forward a year and there are still concerns about Frederick’s health, but he’s not the only one amongst the Cowboys offensive lineman we should …

It’s funny to think about the reception Cowboys Nation gave Linebacker Leighton Vander Esch when his name was announced as the Dallas Cowboys first-round draft pick in the 2018 NFL Draft just a little over a year ago. Those “Boo Birds” are certainly singing a different tune today and should get even louder in 2019 once …
