For several years now, interior defensive line play has been an issue for the Dallas Cowboys. Dating back to the Indianapolis Colts in the 2018 regular season and the Los Angeles Rams in the ensuing playoffs, the Cowboys have struggled to stop the run from the interior. Those issues continued to show themselves in a 2020 …
Every offseason is important for teams looking to contend. The moves made during free agency and the draft can go a long way toward solidifying your place among the NFL’s best. The Cowboys struck out last offseason with free-agent signings that never really made an impact. Heading into the 2021 offseason, with free agency scheduled to …
The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of work to do this fall to retool their team with the hopes of making a run in 2021. Talk about the NFL Draft much, and most of the focus in the first round is fixated on the defense. Rightfully so, the Cowboys have a lot of holes to fill …
As the Dallas Cowboys began their search for their next defensive coordinator in the wake of firing Mike Nolan, I was pretty vocal that Dan Quinn was not the direction I would have gone at the position. However, now that it’s done, I can see how this move could be a good thing for the Dallas …
The Dallas Cowboys haven’t been in a NFC Championship Game since 1996 after the 1995 season. 25 years of divisional round disappointments and bad luck. For a team as popular and as talented as the Dallas Cowboys have been at different times since their last championship game, it’s always shocking that they haven’t found a way …
The Dallas Cowboys have begun their defensive coordinator search over the weekend. Reportedly they’ve interviewed Atlanta Falcons Defensive Backs Coach and Passing Game Coordinator Joe Whitt as well as Carolina Panthers Defensive Backs Coach and Passing Game Coordinator Jason Simmons. Both candidates have ties to Mike McCarthy from his time with the Green Bay Packers. However, …
Less than 24 hours after it was made official that the Dallas Cowboys were moving on from Defensive Coordinator Mike Nolan and Defensive Line Coach Jim Tomsula, we have the first reported interview to replace Nolan at the top of the defensive hierarchy; Atlanta Falcons Secondary Coach and Defensive Passing Game Coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. While …
The Dallas Cowboys defense left a lot to be desired in 2020. They were one of the worst teams against the run all season long, and their pass defense wasn’t much better. Though they weren’t the worst in the NFL, they were a big reason the team got off to a 2-7 start. They allowed half …
There are a lot of question marks facing the Dallas Cowboys heading into the 2021 offseason. Much of the Cowboys’ lack of success in 2020 was due to the injuries along the offensive line and to quarterback Dak Prescott. However, even if the Cowboys were guaranteed reasonable health for their squad in 2021, they still have …
For the third consecutive offseason, the Dallas Cowboys and Quarterback Dak Prescott will find themselves at the negotiation table. Hopefully, third time’s the charm with the two sides as the work to a long-term contract that will make Prescott one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL. A deal will get done, the only questions …
The 2020 regular season is over and for all but 14 teams, including your Dallas Cowboys, the 2021 offseason has begun. But before we go begin looking at the team’s own free agents, this year’s crop of free agents, and prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft, let’s review some All-Rookie teams for the 2020 season. Noted …
The rumor mill was reaching a fever pitch this weekend as the NFL reaches the culmination of their 17 week season. Kellen Moore was engaged in discussions with Boise State University to become their next head coach. What seemed like an inevitability before the new year was turned on its head when it was announced that …
The Dallas Cowboys have a bit of control over their own destiny this Sunday as they face the New York Giants. With a Washington Football Team loss, the Dallas Cowboys would be in the driver’s seat to win the NFC East. With the Cowboys playing in the noon slot on Sunday and the Washington Football Team …
The season that the Dallas Cowboys have received from first-round draft pick CeeDee Lamb has been more than they could have bargained for. Lamb was a great talent coming out of the University of Oklahoma, but it’s long been documented the struggles that rookie wide receivers have making the transition to the NFL. Playing with four …
Ezekiel Elliott’s performance against the Philadelphia Eagles was a necessary one. The Dallas Cowboys needed their star running back to have a big game and remind everyone exactly why he matters. In the Cowboys’ 37-17 win over the Eagles, Elliott rushed 19 times for 105 yards. Per Pro Football Focus, Elliott rushed for 93 yards AFTER contact. …
The Dallas Cowboys have arguably the best collection of wide receiver talent in the NFL with Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and CeeDee Lamb. That was on display in the Cowboys big win over the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday. With all three under contract for 2021, there is a lot of optimism about the prospects of this …
The Dallas Cowboys defense takes another hit in 2020 as they have moved Defensive Tackle Antwaun Woods to injured reserve, ending his season. Per Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys have moved their starting 1-technique defensive tackle to injured reserve after injuring his ankle. Cowboys NT Antwaun Woods (ankle) was placed on injured …
In a strange turn of events, the Dallas Cowboys find themselves with an opportunity to win the NFC East if things go right for them over the season’s final two games. Obviously, they need a lot of help. However, with their play the last few weeks, they’ve kept in contention in the division. After starting the …
The Dallas Cowboys offense has had some ups and downs in 2020. However, given the level of talent that Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore has had to work with in the trenches and at quarterback, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it’s been a roller-coaster ride since Dak Prescott’s injury. And at the same time, they’ve …
For the first time since 1989, the Dallas Cowboys will not have a representative on the annual Pro Bowl roster. Though in a typical season, they might be able to get a guy on the team because of an injury replacement or a player opts out with something more to play for, this season, there won’t …
The Dallas Cowboys were fortunate that 16 NFL teams decided to go another direction, allowing CeeDee Lamb to fall to number 17. The Cowboys were more than happy to make him their selection. In a season that’s been up and down for the Cowboys, to say the least, they’ve been rewarded with stellar play from their …
