Lists and rankings are fun. They give us something to talk about and debate. The NFL Top 100 for 2020 is voted on by the players during the 2019 season and is generally a reflection of how a player is playing and how much attention they’re getting at the time. It’s the ultimate test of subjectivity, …
The left guard competition is getting a reprise this Summer. Heading into 2019’s edition of Dallas Cowboys training camp, there was talk that incumbent starter Connor Williams would see some competition for reps from rookie third-round pick Connor McGovern. McGovern suffered a setback in his return from a pectoral injury, missed all of training camp, and …
The Dallas Cowboys’ front office spent considerable resources this offseason looking to add talent and depth to their cornerback group. With Chidobe Awuzie and Jourdan Lewis set to be free agents in the 2021 offseason, Dallas re-signed Anthony Brown and C.J. Goodwin. They drafted Trevon Diggs and Reggie Robinson II. And then the Cowboys brought in …
On the offensive side of the ball, the Dallas Cowboys look to be as good as any team in the NFL. Every unit has Pro Bowl players aside from the tight end position. It doesn’t take long before you are amazed by the embarrassment of riches that Kellen Moore has to work within 2020. While the …
The NFL and the NFLPA have been in negotiations to protect players and team personnel as they ramp up training camps across the league. One of the significant points of these negotiations has been the number of preseason games the teams will play this Summer. Generally, they play four games in the preseason. However, in 2020 …
The Dallas Cowboys have made significant moves this offseason to revamp their roster on the fly with a new coaching staff, which brings in a new philosophy. As they shift from the Rod Marinelli/Kris Richard Cover-3 defense to Mike Nolan’s “multiple,” press-man defense, they’ve needed to add players to fit this new defensive scheme. Most of …
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s been an enormous level of uncertainty surrounding North American sports, especially as cases and hospitalizations continue to swell in certain parts of the country. It has already claimed much of the NFL’s offseason. It threatens to impact training camp as players are looking for more answers and clarity regarding the NFL’s …
One of the more likable qualities that Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott possesses is his ability to look in the bright side of situations. It’s that quality that has given the Dallas Cowboys a chance in just about every game. Even when the Cowboys have started slow in games, they’ve always found a way to rally …
The franchise tag has become a tool for teams to lock up players seeking a long-term contract. It gives the team a position of power in negotiations as they’re able to hold their ground forcing the player to play on the tag or sit out and not get paid at all. Often, however, teams use it …
The 18-month lengthy contract negotiations between the Dallas Cowboys and Quarterback Dak Prescott were officially put on hold Wednesday afternoon as the two sides were unable to reach a long-term contract before the 3 pm central time deadline. As the hours and minutes ticked by, the likelihood of a deal that would replace Prescott’s $31.4 million …
The Dallas Cowboys special teams unit was underwhelming, to say the least in 2019. The inability of Brett Maher to kick consistently certainly hurt the Cowboys on their way to 8-8. The unwillingness of the Cowboys coaching staff to make a change until week 15 of the season when the Cowboys were 6-7 and coming off …
Today is Monday, July 13th, and the Dallas Cowboys franchise quarterback still doesn’t have a long-term contract. Dak Prescott’s representatives and the Cowboys’ front office have just under 56 hours to hammer out an agreement before Prescott’s $31.4 million franchise tag number locks in for 2020. If that occurs, the two sides wouldn’t be able to …
When the Dallas Cowboys went on the clock during the 2020 NFL Draft, there was a fever pitch of excitement with the opportunity to draft the top wide receiver in the draft sitting at their feet. Since then, there’s been growing anticipation to see Lamb take the field in a Dallas Cowboys uniform. Imagining Lamb playing …
NFL seasons are incredibly difficult to predict even without a global health crisis like the one the world has been facing. There are so many variables in football that attempting to predict an NFL season, while fun, will lead to more misses than hits. Games you think your team wins they drop and games you think …
It feels like forever ago that the Dallas Cowboys had a bad offensive line. Back in the early part of the decade, the Cowboys struggled to keep then starter Tony Romo upright. It was so glaring an issue that Head Coach Jason Garrett convinced Owner and General Manager Jerry Jones to switch his philosophy on using …
The Dallas Cowboys have long been more than a football team. They’ve been a brand. Built off the backs of the sustained level of success during the Tom Landry era, which included two Super Bowl Championships and an NFL record of 20 consecutive winning seasons, America’s Team is one of the more recognizable brands in all …
There are a lot of assumptions floating around the position battle at center for the Dallas Cowboys. Namely that Rookie fourth-round pick Tyler Biadasz will earn the starting center job over the more experienced Joe Looney. It’s certainly possible that Biadasz wins the job. However, as I wrote last weekI wrote last week, these rookies are …
As Cowboys fans and analysts pine for All-Pro safeties, it’s easy to forget that even if they don’t pull off a splash that the team will be fine. Overlooked during the Earl Thomas talk of 2018 and 2019 and then Jamal Adams since, Xavier Woods remains a solid option at the safety position. Heading into the …
All offseason, it seems like every name that’s hit the trade block or the free-agent market has been connected to the Dallas Cowboys. It hit again yesterday when it was reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and confirmed by agent Drew Rosenhaus that Cleveland Browns Tight End David Njoku has requested a trade. Later in the day, …
Change is difficult. Whether it’s a new job or changing a habit, transitions often lead to difficulties. Whether it’s big or small, change requires an adjustment. With COVID-19 wreaking havoc on the world the last few months, everyone has been forced to adjust to a new way of doing things. Though it certainly doesn’t compare to …
This Spring, the Dallas Cowboys spent considerable time and resources adding to the depth and talent of their cornerback room. In total, through the draft and free agency, they added seven cornerbacks to the roster (including re-signings of Anthony Brown and C.J. Goodwin). One oft he reasons the Cowboys put so much emphasis on bringing in …
