The struggles of the 2020 Cowboys defense are common knowledge at this point. We all watched as they blew coverages, missed assignments, and got run all over during the early part of the season. We also watched as they slightly improved, largely due to positive turnover regression late in the year. And we also all know …
The quarterback position was a disaster for the 2020 Cowboys. Though they went into the season expecting to have their franchise guy at the helm, a brutal early season injury ended Dak Prescott’s season right as it was getting started. This led to a revolving door at the quarterback spot for several weeks in Dallas, before …
Second times the charm? The Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers were supposed to kick off the 2020 season in Canton, Ohio, but unfortunately the pandemic got the best of the preseason. The game was cancelled, and ultimately the league got rid of the entirety of the 2020 preseason. Now, that Hall of Fame Game has been …
While most of the Cowboys secondary is in flux, veteran cornerback Anthony Brown is one of the few with a clear future in Dallas. Well, sort of clear. Brown signed a three year, $15.5 million extension last offseason, before having an up-and-down 2020 campaign that included multiple interceptions but also six games missed to injury. Brown …
They may not have an actual team name yet, but the Washington Football Team will likely be the Cowboys’ toughest division test in 2021. The defending NFC East champs won that crown by default in 2020, finishing just 7-9 in this laughable division. But despite not really being a threat in the 2020 postseason, this team …
Looking for a spark to put them in title contention, the Dallas Cowboys took a chance on defensive end Aldon Smith last season. The pass rusher who once looked to be on a Hall of Fame trajectory was out of the league for nearly five whole seasons, due to a slew of legal troubles and poor …
For as dysfunctional and disorganized as the Dallas Cowboys can seem, they have nothing on their in-state rival Houston Texans. Currently in a public battle with their young star quarterback, the Texans released the best player in their franchise’s history on Friday in defensive lineman JJ Watt. Watt, who will turn 32 years old in March, …
No player had more Cowboys Nation driven hype relative to their actual national recognition level than tight end Blake Jarwin had ahead of the 2020 season. Jarwin had put together a few really impressive performances when given increased opportunities with Dak Prescott the prior two seasons, and looked poised to take the next step as the …
One of the unintended (or in some cases intended) benefits of such a lousy season is that the team gets a chance to evaluate their young talent. The Cowboys went into 2020 expecting Gerald McCoy and Dontari Poe to take the majority of their interior defensive line reps, but due to injury (McCoy) and poor play …
Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs had an up-and-down rookie season. The second round pick in 2020 was thrust into high snap counts early on due to both injury and ineptitude around him, and results through the first few games were not great. Diggs gave up a few big plays, sometimes due to busted coverages and other times …
If you follow football at all, you’ve certainly been locked into the Deshaun Watson saga over in Houston. The franchise quarterback is coming off of an incredibly productive individual season, though it was a season in which his team went a dismal 4-12. Watson is looking for his way out of the dysfunctional Texans franchise, and …
The number one Dallas Cowboys focused storyline each day is Dak Prescott’s contract situation. Do the Cowboys believe in him as their franchise guy? How can they not? Are they looking elsewhere for a potential starter? All very important, and relevant, questions for the 2021 version of this team. But Dallas also has a big hole behind …
The Cowboys 2021 schedule is already looking to be a tough one. For the first time in over 50 years, the Cowboys will play both of this year’s Super Bowl participants on the road in 2021. That means that yes, Dallas will need to visit both the Tampa Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs next season. …
The second that Dak Prescott went down against the Giants, the 2020 Cowboys season was effectively over. While their franchise quarterback could help them overcome injuries to studs like Tyron Smith and La’el Collins, losing Prescott was going to put this team in too big a hole to climb out of. But after watching a full …
The Dallas Cowboys defense is full of holes, this much was clear in 2020. But their young cornerbacks actually brought bright spots to an otherwise putrid unit. Rookie Trevon Diggs, for example, shined at times, giving the fanbase hope for a better defensive future in Dallas. Similarly, cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, when healthy, was often one of …
Since being drafted in 2011, Tyron Smith has been a staple of the Dallas Cowboys offensive line. A two time First Team All Pro as well as an 8 time Pro Bowler, Smith has been one of the best left tackles in football pretty much since entering the league. He was also the first of the …
Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin is joining the New York Jets coaching staff, per Rich Cimini. Austin will serve as the wide receivers coach under newly hired head coach Robert Saleh. Robert Saleh has finalized his offensive staff. OC — Mike LaFleur; QB — Rob Calabrese; WR — Miles Austin; OL — John Benton; …
It’s been quite the ride for cornerback Jourdan Lewis with the Dallas Cowboys. The former third round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Lewis won over Cowboys Nation quickly with his mentality and playmaking ability. On the rare occasion the Cowboys forced a turnover, or made a play on the ball, it seemed like Jourdan Lewis …
2020 was a disastrous year for the Dallas Cowboys offensive line. Before any games were even played, All Pro center Travis Frederick decided to retire from the game. He had a successful career to be proud of, and luckily got out of the game with his health intact, but there’s no question it set the 2020 …
Two years ago, Leighton Vander Esch looked to be on the road to becoming the Cowboys’ next great linebacker. He and Jaylon Smith each had phenomenal 2018 seasons, with Vander Esch even earning Pro Bowl honors during that rookie campaign. Since then, however, it’s been almost all downhill. While Jaylon Smith gets most of the criticism, …
Kellen Moore has become a popular man over the last 24 months. The current Cowboys offensive coordinator was reportedly set to take the head coaching job at Boise State before deciding to stick with Dallas, and now he’s getting interest for the same position with a division rival. According to David Moore of the Dallas Morning …
