May has turned to June, and the offseason has turned to offseason training activities as the Dallas Cowboys, and the rest of the NFL sets their sites on the 2021 NFL Season. Teams are working with rosters and continuing to evaluate the talent on their team. While the Cowboys will likely take this current roster to …
Over the last decade, one of the buzzwords out of The Star in Frisco has been about position flexibility and versatility. It’s been a core value for player evaluations for a long time but has also become a bit of a dirty word as well. When we think of players with position versatility, players like Byron …
An NFL Draft is only as good as the impact they make on the field. And while we shouldn’t judge a draft class for three to four years, that first year in the NFL is huge. Teams that can get contributions out of rookies are a leg up on the competition because of their low cost …
The Dallas Cowboys are just 68 days from the Hall of Fame Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and 101 days until the regular-season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Cowboys have a lot of work to do to get ready for the 2021 season and make a run at getting back to the playoffs. Though …
It’s become a really popular idea to throw Dallas Cowboys coaches on the hot seat early and often. It seems like former Head Coach Jason Garrett was on the hot seat for each of the last six seasons of his tenure with the Cowboys. And now, just one year into his run with the team, Mike …
The Dallas Cowboys have struggled to find a ball-hawking free safety for years now. They seemed to have found that guy in Xavier Woods, which kept them from trading for or signing Earl Thomas. Now Woods is in Minnesota after his contract expired, and the Cowboys have a new free safety in former Atlanta Falcons’ Safety …
There was a lot that went wrong with the Dallas Cowboys in 2020. While the loss of Dak Prescott was the biggest issue, losing your starting tackles — one before the season even started — was a major reason for the disappointing 6-10 season. However, things have been looking more promising for 2021 as Tyron Smith …
When you’re selected with the 12th overall pick and as the third defensive player off the board in the 2021 NFL Draft, high expectations are soon to follow. With sports books creating NFL Futures for the 2021 season, we now have NFL Rookie of the Year odds to look at. Over at the Draft Kings Sportsbook, …
It was an up and down year for several defensive tackles for the Dallas Cowboys in 2020. In his first season with the Dallas Cowboys, Neville Gallimore was a part of that roller coaster ride. Heading into year two with the Cowboys, Gallimore is one of those players to keep an eye on. The transition to …
The Dallas Cowboys put in the work to identify defensive players in the draft that they wanted to add to their roster for 2021 and beyond. Some players like Micah Parsons and Kelvin Joseph already have roles dreamed up for them, while others like Nahshon Wright and Israel Mukuamu will be battling for snaps with the …
The Dallas Cowboys enter the offseason training portion of 2021 as the favorites to win the NFC East. It’s early and a lot can change as training camp and the preseason moves along but there’s very little reason to think the Cowboys won’t be in contention for the division. Sure there are reasons to doubt their …
One of the biggest storylines in 2020 was the health, or lack thereof, of many key contributors for the Dallas Cowboys last season. Trysten Hill was hit by the injury bug as well as he tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the New York Giants game, the same game that Dak Prescott was injured in. It …
Based simply on the 2020 schedule, the Dallas Cowboys appear to have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL in 2021. The problem with strength of schedule is it doesn’t account for free agency or the NFL Draft and the possible improvements seen by each of the teams on the schedule. Only when they start …
The 2020 season was a let down in many ways. Dak Prescott was hurt in the fifth game and the offensive line never had the health to allow Andy Dalton and the Dallas Cowboys to contend for the NFC East. One thing that wasn’t a disappointment however was the selection and the performance of first round …
Rookie minicamp has come to a close, and the veterans will take the field this week in “phase two workouts” before their first set of offseason training activities begins on May 25th. By this time, you’ve likely seen some 53-man roster projections for the 2021 season. Those are fantastic exercises to get a glimpse at some …
One of the biggest selling points from the Dallas Cowboys front office on their first-round pick Micah Parsons was the versatility he provided to a defense. They spoke of his ability to work as an off-ball linebacker, a pass rusher off the edge, as a run defender, and as a blitzer from the traditional linebacker set. …
Every year is a different story, but even though some things change as teams experience turnovers, recent history can help us understand what’s coming in the near future. And in the near future, the Dallas Cowboys have some difficult matchups on the road ahead as we look to the 2021 NFL Season. Much like yesterday, when …
In years past, a rundown of the Dallas Cowboys schedule read like a who’s who of quarterbacks in the NFL. Back in 2019, the Cowboys had to face Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady as the most difficult quarterbacks on their schedule. While each year is different and the offenses the teams face do have …
The Dallas Cowboys remain one of the biggest draws in the NFL despite their lack of success for the last 25 years. They’re one of eight teams with five primetime games on the 2021 schedule. They join the Baltimore Ravens, Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, Kansas City Chiefs, and …
Going into the 2021 NFL Draft, cornerback was the most glaring need for the Dallas Cowboys. They had Trevon Diggs on the one side but needed to hit on cornerback with a premium pick to feel comfortable about their other outside cornerback spot. Yes, the team has Jourdan Lewis and Anthony Brown, but both of those …
The 2020 season was nothing short of a debacle for the Dallas Cowboys offensive line. La’el Collins never played a snap and Tyron Smith was lost shortly after the start of the season. That meant rookie undrafted free agent Terence Steele was required to play all 16 games. It was an up and down season in …
