Will RB Ezekiel Elliott Join the 2,000 Yard Rushing Club?

All eyes were on Ezekiel Elliott throughout his rookie season with the Dallas Cowboys.

Could a Rookie Backup Dak Prescott for 2nd Consecutive Year?

The Dallas Cowboys are a team that typically likes to carry a veteran as their backup quarterback, especially during Jason Garrett’s tenure as head coach. It is after all a position he played for over a decade in the NFL, so maybe there’s some nostalgia still there for those veteran QBs. But, it looks as if …

Who Will Start Opposite DeMarcus Lawrence at DE in 2018?

The Dallas Cowboys have more depth at the defensive end position than any time in recent memory. That’s a good thing by the way.

The Dallas Cowboys are extremely thin at the safety position. Fact. They haven’t really brought in anyone to upgrade the position from last season. Fact. I just wanted to point that out because there’s a lot of discussion as to whether or not the Cowboys need to add another safety before training camp. I don’t know …
