Offensive line play in the NFL can make as much of a difference to efficient and effective offensive production as the performance of the quarterback or the running back does.

It’s inevitable that every year there will be snubs from the Pro Football Hall of Fame selections. Cowboys fans know all to well that a deserving resume doesn’t always get a deserving player in.

It took some time for Donovan Wilson to finally be set loose in the Dallas Cowboys secondary, but in his first season as a starter for the Cowboys, he was a man on a mission. He played so well that heading into 2021, the Cowboys have at least one of their starting safety spots locked down. …

As COVID-19 changed the financial landscape of the NFL with attendance numbers a fraction of their norms, the league is faced with the reality that 2020 revenues likely saw a drop. Every offseason, the NFL uses those revenues along with projections for future seasons to determine the salary cap for the upcoming season. Over the last …
The Dallas Cowboys need to address their secondary as badly as I need to address this COVID hair. Both need a new look and an upgrade. Like I have to get out and get this hair cut, the Cowboys need to get out of The Star in Frisco and pursue an upgrade to the free safety …
In the 2017 NFL Draft, the Cowboys thought they were getting the answer to their safety question with the selection of Xavier Woods in the sixth round that year. Though he was drafted late and played at a small school, he was highly thought of as a player who could play various roles. That was evident …
Five years ago, the Los Angeles Rams traded up to acquire the first pick in the 2016 NFL Draft and selected Jared Goff. After a couple of good seasons that saw the Rams reach the Super Bowl in 2018, they’ve decided to move on from Goff in a trade with the Detroit Lions to acquire Matthew …

Making the transition to the NFL is never an easy one for a rookie cornerback. 2020 was especially difficult with the elimination of offseason training activities, minicamps, and preseason games.
