Cowboys star defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence is always good for a blog-able quote, and this week was no different. Lawrence was asked by the Dallas media to describe the Cowboys defensive scheme, and did so as only Tank could. As seen in the below Jon Machota tweet, Lawrence called the Cowboys a one-gap defense, where they …
I don’t know that there’s any player in the league who’s public perception is as varied as Dak Prescott’s. He is both a national superstar, featured in everything from yogurt commercials to NFL promos, and considered a mid-tier quarterback by most analysts. He is both a former Heisman Trophy candidate who has won two division titles …
The Dallas Cowboys came out of their week 3 “dress rehearsal” preseason game feeling as confident as ever, as they throttled the Houston Texans 34-0 to improve to 2-1 on the preseason. Of course, there were some standouts from the Cowboys big win, as position battles are starting to come to a close and the regular …
If there’s one thing the national football world seemed to agree on last season, it’s that Scott Linehan’s offense had grown “stale.” After starting the Dak Prescott/Scott Linehan era off fast, with one of the league’s best offenses in 2016 leading them to a 13-3 record, Dallas quickly fell down those offensive leaderboards. As pieces on …
Kerry Hyder joined the Cowboys this offseason on a one year deal, and while the four-year NFL veteran has put up some solid tape in his time around the league, it was hard to project just what he could bring to the Cowboys defense. Listed at 6’2″ 270 pounds, Hyder is a bit of a tweener …
The Cowboys are neck-deep in contract negotiations with some of their team’s most important players, but it appears they have gotten one key guy signed this afternoon. ESPN’s Todd Archer is reporting that the Cowboys have agreed to a contract extension with middle linebacker Jaylon Smith, though the exact terms of the contract have yet to …
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is the subject of constant debate around the football world. Now that it’s getting time to pay him, those debates are even hotter. As I discussed last week, Prescott has been much better than he’s often given credit for, though the narrative continues to be that he is carried by his offensive …
The Dallas Cowboys earned their first win of the 2019 preseason on Saturday night, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 14-10 in Hawaii. Despite the low scoring affair, there were certainly standout performances from both offensive and defensive players for Dallas. Some who are looking to earn a roster spot, and others who are rather solidified in …
This Saturday, the Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys meet for the first time since their Divisional Playoff matchup last January. Of course, this time around, the game is much less important as we move into week two of the 2019 preseason rather than the final 8 of the postseason. Still the link between the two …
$40 million! The number took the football world by surprise, and left most fans and analysts across the league shaking their heads. Dak Prescott? $40 million? Of course, the same people who would yell at the Cowboys for extending Prescott at such a number will also laugh at the Cowboys for extending their running back and …
Cowboys’ rookie defensive end Joe Jackson hadn’t exactly earned much fame within Cowboys Nation through the opening weeks of training camp. The day three pick out of Miami certainly had a following when the Cowboys decided to draft him, but his questionable athletic profile and lack of top-notch production in college made him a bit of …
Suspensions and injuries to defensive ends have put the Cowboys in a tricky spot at one of the game’s most important positions. Both Tyrone Crawford and DeMarcus Lawrence are expected to be ready when the games matter, but neither Randy Gregory nor the newly acquired Robert Quinn will be available for the season opener against the …
Cowboys Nation came into training camp beaming with excitement over their newest defensive end. Former Pro Bowl and All Pro pass rusher Robert Quinn joined the Cowboys via trade this offseason, and was anxiously awaiting the opportunity to line up on the same defensive line as DeMarcus Lawrence and get after quarterbacks around the league. The …
The Dallas Cowboys finally opened up their 2019 preseason Saturday night, doing so with a 17-9 road loss to the San Francisco 49ers. While the starters played very limited time during the contest, with many key players not playing whatsoever, there’s still a ton to take away from this game. Let’s dive right into my game …
Arguably the most intriguing on-field storyline for the Dallas Cowboys at training camp is the competition they have going on at wide receiver. Of course, the three guys at the top are set in stone. Amari Cooper is one of the best in the league at his position, Michael Gallup has come on strong as the …
To say 2018 was a disappointing season for the San Francisco 49ers would be a massive understatement. After trading for former Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo led to a resurgence late in the 2017 season, the ‘9ers came into last year expecting a potent offense to lead them to NFC playoff contention. Instead, they started slow out …
The Dallas Cowboys made one of their bigger splashes in recent memory this offseason, trading for former Pro Bowl and All Pro defensive end Robert Quinn. Quinn, who is expected to be a pass rushing menace opposite DeMarcus Lawrence, has gotten off to a not-so-great start thus far, however. After suffering a fractured hand which required …
Just two seasons ago, the Dallas Cowboys entire defense would seem to fall apart when Sean Lee faced an injury. Without Lee, the entire unit looked lost, and Dallas struggled to stop anyone on key downs. Or any downs for that matter. The emergence of Leighton Vander Esch and Jaylon Smith in 2018 has changed everything …
Given the emergence of Byron Jones as an All Pro level cornerback, Chidobe Awuzie saw an increase in targets his way during the 2018 season. Still, Awuzie came on strong late in the season and looked to be playing up to his preseason hype by the time the postseason came around. Now Awuzie enters his third …
Though the conversation and debate around the Cowboys franchise quarterback can get toxic at times, Dak Prescott himself has had nearly nothing but success since taking over the position in 2016. Prescott has quarterbacked the Cowboys to three straight winning seasons, two division titles, and a home playoff win. The young quarterback now has three seasons …
There’s no question how good Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Zack Martin is. The sixth year right guard has become a perennial All-Pro candidate, and is largely considered not only one of the best players on his team, but one of the league’s best as well. A former first round pick back in 2014, the Cowboys certainly …
