Can DL Datone Jones be a Difference Maker in 2018?

Can Datone Jones Help Solve Cowboys’ DT Problems?

The Dallas Cowboys are a team that aren’t afraid to take a chance on players, especially when they are former first-round draft picks. What can I say, they seem to like reclamation projects. A year ago at this time they signed former first-round offensive lineman Jonathan Cooper. It was a signing that ended up working out …

That’s why they turned their attention to the NFL Draft and used …

3 Reasons Why RB Ezekiel Elliott Will Dominate in 2018

3 Reasons Why RB Ezekiel Elliott Will Dominate in 2018

There is no denying Ezekiel Elliott is one of the best, if not the best, running back in the entire NFL. He’s just one of those special players that makes things happen anytime he has the ball in his hands. Unfortunately, he didn’t really look like himself in 2017, but I’m expecting him to completely rebound …

With all of the new faces the Dallas Cowboys added to the wide receiver position it’s easy to overlook someone like Noah Brown.
