This UDFA is quietly making noise early in training camp

Day 2 of training camp wrapped up on Thursday. Some of the familiar faces were on display. No colossal shock on which players continue to get the attention. Dak Prescott’s one underthrown ball will overshadow his good throws and get headlines like it’s January. Micah’s burst seems quicker than his first two years. Jake Ferguson looks …

Two undrafted free agents eyeing the same role in training camp 1

Two undrafted free agents eyeing the same role in training camp

The Dallas Cowboys have officially landed in Oxnard, California. Players like Jayron Kearse already appreciate the calm, breezy 69-degree weather the west coast offers versus the summer swelter Dallas embodies. The upcoming football season is approaching, and players are preparing to leave a lasting impression. The competition will and should be at an all-time high with …

Jerry Jones on Malik Hooker: "We Would've Drafted Him"

Dallas must find a way to retain this 2024 free agent

The Dallas Cowboys are facing a challenging situation that demands careful consideration. Dak Prescott’s contract expires after the 2024 season. Dallas could choose to begin renegotiating sooner rather than later. Their young guns, CeeDee Lamb and Trevon Diggs are chomping for a new contract. All-Pro Linebacker Micah Parsons’ bank account is preparing to change substantially over …

Cowboys Without DTs Trysten Hill and Osa Odighizuwa at Giants

Osa Odighizuwa is ready to reach new heights and here’s why

As good as the Dallas Cowboys defense was last year, it sounds absurd to believe they will be even better this season. The truth is they will be and for a good reason. The acquisition of Stephon Gilmore solidified the unit’s back end, giving Trevon Diggs a partner on the boundaries. A healthy Damone Clark and …

Jabril Cox, Giants

3rd year players desperate to retain their roster spots

It’s impressive how Dallas has gathered such talented defensive players from various Power-5 programs. In 2021, they secured a generational talent named Micah Parsons and an above-average starter in Osa Odighizuwa. Some uncertainties still surround others from the same draft class, including Jabril Cox, Nahshon Wright, and Quinton Bohanna. Notice I did not mention Kelvin Joseph. …

Rico Dowdle

Rico Dowdle intends to make backup RB competition interesting

Outside Tony Pollard, Rico Dowdle has the longest stay with Dallas in this newly formed running back room. Dowdle’s efforts have yet to succeed in redirecting the headlines toward himself. Instead, other players such as second-year running back Malik Davis, free agent signee Ronald Jones, and recent draft pick Deuce Vaughn have been the focus of …

Dak Prescott's rivalry with this division team is just beginning 3

Should I dare compare Dak Prescott to this Hall of Fame quarterback?

Can two quarterbacks end up at the same destination, even if one assumed the role as a potential all-time great before tossing an NFL pass and the other began his career as a likely practice squad candidate? Through the first seven years of their careers, the production was almost identical, as was the win-loss record. The …

From obscure to esteemed - 4 Dallas Cowboys with different paths to stardom

Four Dallas Cowboys who rose from obscurity to fan favorites

Let’s start by stating the obvious. The Dallas Cowboys have a long history of talent, so starting in the year 2000 seems more than reasonable. Additionally, expecting to see Tony Romo’s name or Dak Prescott’s may leave some discomfort. Let’s face it. Both guys deserve to be on the list, but they’ve received enough of the …

Former Cowboys S Darren Woodson Named Semifinalist for 2021 Hall of Fame Class

Could DeMarvion Overshown be this team’s rookie version of Darren Woodson?

Under the leadership of Dan Quinn, the Dallas Cowboys’ defense has become formidable in a short period. Drafting Micah Parsons catapulted the defense to new heights. However, even before then, Trevon Diggs brought athleticism to the secondary, and the signings of Malik Hooker and Jayron Kearse added the attitude. This year the first-round pick landed in …

The history of Tony Pollard

Will Tony Pollard walk a similar path as DeMarco Murray?

Running backs come into the NFL a dime a dozen. The Dallas Cowboys have been fortunate enough to land on some great ones in Tony Dorsett, Calvin Hill, Emmitt Smith, and Ezekiel Elliott. Toss in Herschel Walker, albeit for a short period, and you can argue for running back university in Dallas. Even with that distinguished …

Will Dan Quinn capitalize on the position flexibility from these 3 players?

Will Dan Quinn capitalize on the position flexibility from these 3 players?

Being flexible and adaptable at your workplace transcends football. Coincidentally, the NFL loves to employ players with many skills in their tool belts. The Dallas Cowboys earned praise by selecting players like Tyrone Crawford and Byron Jones for their ability to play multiple positions. In all his glory, Commissioner Roger Goodell continues to build a league …

Kelvin Joseph's Return from IR Imminent, Anthony Brown at Risk of Losing Starting Job?

If Dan Quinn leaves for greener pastures, there’s one stop he should avoid

The Dallas Cowboys find themselves in a peculiar position once again. A head coach who has back-to-back 12-win seasons under his belt is rare. He’ll potentially add another dozen at the season’s end. Sitting in the background is one of the best assistant coaches in the entire league. Dan Quinn represents the reclamation of this Cowboys’ …
