Winning games in the NFL typically comes down to accomplishing two goals. One, being successful when passing on offense. And, two, stopping the opposing team’s passing game. The Cowboys set out to accomplish that second goal this offseason, re-signing defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, and trading for veteran pass rusher Robert Quinn. Quinn, who tallied 6.5 sacks …
Raising eyebrows in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Cowboys added Penn State offensive lineman Connor McGovern to their already deep OL depth chart. McGovern, who played guard for the Nittany Lions, was reportedly by-far the best player remaining on the Cowboys draft board when they came on the clock in round three. …
The quick answer to the question the title poses is: he will be the backup center. And, well, yes. Duh. Right? Now that veteran center Travis Frederick has returned to claim his rightful spot on the Cowboys offensive line, Joe Looney must slide back into his backup role. Looney filled in for the All Pro center admirably in …
Rod Marinelli defensive lines have always been categorized by one term: rotations. His tenure with the Dallas Cowboys has been no different. Marinelli loves to rotate defensive linemen through the game, specifically on the interior. He’s also not one to pay big money to interior defensive linemen often. Instead, he will cycle through mid-round draft picks, …
Dallas’ 2016 draft class is one of the best in team history. To be honest, it might be considered one of the better classes in NFL history if they can put together more sustained postseason success in the near future. Now that the members of that 2016 class are entering their fourth season, the time to …
The Dallas Cowboys spent the 2019 offseason looking to add new dimensions to their offense. They went out and signed Randall Cobb, the veteran receiver who made his name in the slot for the Green Bay Packers. They then drafted Memphis running back Tony Pollard in the fourth round to add a versatile weapon to their …
Remember Darius Jackson? The sixth round running back was an instant fan favorite of Cowboys Nation, as the fanbase hoped Dallas had found the explosive RB2 behind Ezekiel Elliott they needed in the very same draft. Jackson, however, had an up-and-down preseason in 2016 and ended up being waived from the team to make room for …
Dak Prescott stood before the media Thursday in a Stetson Cowboy hat, answering questions about his upcoming contract extension. “I’ve got my cowboy hat on, so I’m a Cowboy, we’ll say that.” Prescott has cemented himself as the franchise quarterback of America’s Team, and now it’s time for the franchise to pay him like it. Set …
Who is the Cowboys best player? A question debated seemingly daily on social media, most fans seem to center their arguments around the same few names. Dak Prescott, Zack Martin, Tyron Smith, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Ezekiel Elliott. As a running back, it’s quite possible that Elliott is both the best of that bunch and the least …
It seems like all anyone has talked about this offseason is who the Cowboys should re-sign, and how they can go about doing so. Wide receiver Amari Cooper, of course, is heavily involved in those conversations. The Cowboys used their 2019 first round pick to trade for the Pro Bowl wide out last season, and Cooper’s …
Kerry Hyder is the personification of the Cowboys free agency philosophy. Hyder’s signing went under the radar for a multitude of reasons, mainly that most casual fans probably hadn’t heard his name prior to the roster move. He came on a one year, low risk deal which Stephen Jones would likely call “team friendly,” and he …
As the offseason moves along and we inch towards the slowest time of the NFL calendar, June always gives us a good chance to look back on decision making in prior years. Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport recently wrote an article naming each NFL team’s biggest mistake of the past decade. Moves like the Cleveland Browns hiring Hue …
It’s rare for a third round pick to come into the league with as much fan-fare as Michael Gallup did in 2018. A fan favorite before ever putting on the Cowboys uniform, Michael Gallup was expected to be a third round steal by much of Cowboys Nation. And though the start to his rookie season was …
Rico Gathers’ journey to the NFL was fascinating, but his story once that destination was reached has been far from it. In fact, Rico Gathers’ NFL career has been inconsequential at best and a failure at worst. Only playing in 15 games over his first 3 seasons, Gathers’ time with the Cowboys has failed to live …
One of the hottest debates among Cowboys Nation this offseason is about how Dallas should structure their offensive gameplan. On one hand there is the two time rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott. A former fourth overall pick who has shouldered a workload second to none over the past three seasons, Elliott is often regarded as the Cowboys’ …
The Cowboys offensive line has been highly praised in recent years, often called the best single unit in all of football. The last two seasons, however, have seen injuries and illness take away some of the best players from this top-tier unit. And as players like Tyron Smith age, fans have come down harder on what …
Time to discuss everyone’s favorite offseason topic, what is Taco Charlton going to do for the Cowboys this season? Unfortunately, the conversation around Taco Charlton has become jaded over the years. Honestly, it was jaded from the start, when the Cowboys went with Charlton over fan-favorite TJ Watt in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft …
The 2017 NFL Draft was defined by the Cowboys re-tooling their entire defensive backfield. Chidobe Awuzie in the second round, Jourdan Lewis in the third round, and Xavier Woods and Marquez White on day three headlined a draft class that most were disappointed by due to the use of their first round pick. In their rookie …
Cowboys fandom is in an uncharacteristically positive place at the moment. The often down-trodden, pessimistic fan base that will find any excuse to complain about their alleged favorite football team seems, well, happy heading into the 2019 season. Sure there are the constant “should they pay Dak!?!?” debates, but overall fans are expecting the Dallas Cowboys to be …
The Cowboys took a chance this Spring. First, they fired the man who’d been their offensive coordinator since 2015, and had been involved with their offense since 2014. Then, they hired Kellen Moore as the new offensive coordinator. An unproven, untested coach who had only spent one year as the team’s quarterbacks coach the season prior. …
The Cowboys have had a much more active offseason than they have in previous years, even trading for a veteran pass rusher in Robert Quinn. One of their more marquee signings in terms of name-value, however, was that of wide receiver Randall Cobb. The former Green Bay Packers wide out seems to fit exactly what Dallas …
