Thankfully for Cowboys, NFC East Could Reset in Week 2

With Dak Prescott’s hand injury dominating the front page following Dallas’ Week 1 loss to Tampa Bay, somewhat disregarded was the rest of the NFC East winning their season openers. If the Cooper Rush-led can find a way to upset the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, there’s a decent chance that our division rivals could also …

CeeDee Lamb

Has the #88 Gone From Blessing to Curse for CeeDee Lamb?

CeeDee Lamb is finally where we’ve always expected him to be, the primary receiver for the Dallas Cowboys. Anointed as the team’s future when he was drafted, especially once given the renowned #88 jersey, Lamb is now up against those lofty expectations and carrying a much different burden in his third season. After over 2,000 yards …

Jalen Tolbert

Even if He’s Inactive Tonight, Don’t Lose Faith in WR Jalen Tolbert

A rumor’s been circling since yesterday that Wide Receiver Jalen Tolbert, Dallas’ 3rd-round pick last April, may not dress for tonight’s season opener. While it would be disappointing after all the offseason hype, it’s far from a reason to lose faith in the rookie as a long-term asset for the Cowboys. It wasn’t long ago that …

A football player with a beard and curly hair, resembling Ezekiel Elliott, wearing a white and blue jersey glances to the side on the field during preseason play.

Is Ezekiel Elliott’s Fate Already Sealed Beyond 2022?

Few Dallas Cowboys players have a more uncertain future than Running Back Ezekiel Elliott. His contract is a legitimate problem and is reasonably sheddable after this season. One has to wonder just what Zeke can do in 2022, if anything, to avoid becoming a salary cap casualty next year. Elliott’s production hit new lows last season. …

Kellen Moore, Dak Prescott

For Better or Worse, Kellen Moore & Dak Prescott’s Reputations are Linked

Two Dallas Cowboys with much to prove in 2022 are Quarterback Dak Prescott and Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore. Both are trying to establish themselves among the NFL elite in their respective crafts, and both heavily rely on each other to improve their reputations in this pivotal season.

Jerry Jones Doesn't Rule Out WR Michael Gallup Playing vs Bucs

Jerry Jones Doesn’t Rule Out WR Michael Gallup Playing vs Bucs

The NFL’s top salesman was at it again yesterday. Jerry Jones left the door cracked open that Cowboys starting WR Michael Gallup could play in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but most aren’t buying Jerry’s snake oil this time. Gallup’s absence for the season opener, if not most of September, has been an expectation …

Will Connor McGovern get Needed Exposure in Contract Year?

A few months ago things were not looking great for fourth-year offensive lineman Connor McGovern. The Dallas Cowboys drafted Tyler Smith with their 1st-round pick to replace Connor Williams at left guard, leaving McGovern relegated to a backup role at best. But after a major injury and shifting throughout the offensive line, McGovern should now get …
