Just the other day, The Ringer named one “x-factor” for each NFL team. For the Dallas Cowboys, they named recently reinstated Defensive End Randy Gregory. It’s definitely a good choice as Gregory has amazing ability to bend the corner and put pressure on opposing quarterbacks. It’s probably not wise to have such huge expectations for Gregory at this …
The Earl Thomas saga continues to play out as training camp continues and he’s yet to report to Seattle Seahawks practices. It’s been documented for months now his wish to receive a contract extension from the Seattle Seahawks, to continue his career in the only NFL city he’s ever known. It’s been alluded to several times …
The Dallas Cowboys have had five practices through the first week of training camp and there have been some really interesting story lines to follow thus far. Several players and position groups have already made an impression early on. As training camp continues, we’ll need to keep an eye on who shows consistency the rest of …
There’s been a ton of talk about the need for a bounce-back year for Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott in 2018. The second half of 2017 was disappointing for the second-year quarterback, and for the Dallas Cowboys as a team. I’ve talked a lot about Dak Prescott’s first 24 games over the offseason and covered it in …
Randy Gregory’s tumultuous absence from the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys has been documented at length. It’s a story that has a tremendous amount of ups and downs as his rollercoaster ride through addiction and mental illness and his return has captivated Cowboys Nation. When the Dallas Cowboys made Randy Gregory their second round selection in the …
Terrance Williams has been a popular whipping boy for Cowboys Nation over the last several years. Because of drops or mental lapses on and off the field — like not getting out of bounds in week one of 2016 — many feel that Terrance Williams’ days with the Dallas Cowboys are numbered. I’ve seen a lot of people …
As the Dallas Cowboys start training camp this week, a lot of the position questions we’ve had over the last several months will be answered. When it comes to the Dallas Cowboys secondary, Xavier Woods and his ability to play down in the box and in the slot will be huge for the Cowboys this season. …
Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas is reporting that Defensive Tackle David Irving will miss the start of the 2018 training camp for the Dallas Cowboys, with approval from the team. It hasn’t been an easy offseason for Irving who came under suspicion of domestic violence back in April when an ex-girlfriend took to social media to make …
As the Dallas Cowboys are set to kick off training camp in Oxnard, California less than a week from now, there are still several positions where questions still need to be answered. Thankfully, training camp will answer said questions. We can begin to put all of the speculation behind us. To get you ready for the start …
As training camp begins this week and the Dallas Cowboys begin the process of figuring out who is going to be on their 53-man roster week one. Though the final roster won’t be finalized until week one of the regular season, 80% of the roster is locked in for the week one matchup with the Carolina …
The Dallas Cowboys have had a ton of player movement on both sides of the football this offseason. Wide receiver overhauls, retirements, releases, and new acquisitions have changed the face of the Dallas Cowboys on the offensive side of the football. No longer are Dez Bryant and Jason Witten the names of note at wide receiver and …
Yesterday, I wrote a piece attempting to assuage the fears that many in Cowboys Nation have about handing a contract extension out to Earl Thomas, who is 29 years old as we enter the 2018 NFL season. In the comment section, a reader posed a very good question that is the basis for the rest of …
ESPN has long been considered “The Worldwide Leader in Sports,” and for a long time that title was justified. If you wanted your national sports news, where did you turn to but the cable sports channel to watch that day’s episode of SportsCenter. But over the last few years, it’s become more and more clear that it’s …
When people consider whether the Dallas Cowboys should trade for Seattle Seahawks’ Safety Earl Thomas, one rebuttal fans throw out there is his age, and for good reason. People get concerned about handing out contract extensions to players entering their age-29 season. In the salary cap era of the NFL, it typically isn’t good business to …
In 2017, it was evident just how much the Dallas Cowboys were hurt by their lack of linebacker depth. When Sean Lee and Anthony Hitchens were injured, especially Lee, the defense struggled. Look to the games against the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams and it’s easy to see just how ineffective the defense was …
The Dallas Cowboys haven’t played the 2018 NFL season yet, but that shouldn’t stop us from looking ahead to the 2019 NFL Draft and seeing what players the team will have their eye on this fall. With the NFL season fast approaching, that means the college football season is as well, and as we look through …
The rumors about a potential Earl Thomas to the Dallas Cowboys trade have been circling for what seems like forever at this point. And they won’t go away either, not until the Seattle Seahawks sign him to a long-term deal or the trade actually happens. It seems that as each day passes, and we inch closer …
The Dallas Cowboys’ biggest weakness on the offensive side of the football is most obviously the tight end group. The wide receiver group is second, but it’s a distant second to the uncertainty and inexperience at the tight end position currently. Even before Jason Witten up and retired, the Cowboys weren’t in great shape — mostly …
There’s been a lot of talk this offseason about the Dallas Cowboys offense and what they need to do to be better. A lot of that talk has been centered around the wide receiver group and the tight ends as the most glaring question marks for the Cowboys offense. As we look back to the 2017 season, …
You may have seen me and others around Cowboys Twitter and the fantasy football world talking about The Scott Fish Bowl on Twitter, but didn’t know what it was. It’s an amazing event put on by fantasy analyst Scott Fish as a way of raising money for his charity, FantasyCares.net. His goal, to raise money to buy toys for children …
We’re in one of the worst times of the calendar year for football. The time between OTAs and minicamps and when training camp begins on July 25th. As the Dallas Cowboys inch closer to the 2018 season, it’s safe to say that Tyron Smith’s back situation is on the minds of many in Cowboys Nation. Tyron …
