It’s Time To Give DL Tyrone Crawford His Credit

There’s no doubt that DeMarcus Lawrence is the star of the Dallas Cowboys defensive line. And, of course, this praise is deserved. Lawrence is the top dog among this pass rushing group, and is on pace to once again lead the team in sacks for 2018. Lawrence is not the only defensive lineman having himself a …

DAL vs NO: Now That Is A Championship-Level Defense

A few weeks ago, after saving their season in a road victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, NBC Sports’ Rodney Harrison proclaimed the Dallas Cowboys to have a “championship-level defense.” While it excited Cowboys fans, at the time, it really felt false. Though their performance against Philadelphia was impressive, they had just got done allowing the Tennessee …

Amari Cooper is Turning the Cowboys Into Playoff Contenders

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper Named NFC Offensive Player Of The Week

If you somehow bet four weeks ago that a Cowboys wide receiver would win NFC Offensive Player of the Week in 2018, you’re probably a billionaire today. After posting an incredibly impressive 8 catches for 180 yards and 2 touchdowns in Thursday’s win over Washington, Cowboys receiver Amari Cooper was given that very award this week. …

Cowboys Safety Xavier Woods Is Getting Better By The Week

The Dallas Cowboys’ reconstruction of their secondary over the past two seasons has been a constant topic of discussion among Cowboys Nation. Back during the 2017 offseason, following a 13-3 campaign, the Cowboys allowed 3 starters and a fourth key contributor from their 2016 secondary to walk in free agency. They were betting they could find …

Ezekiel Elliott's Return To Cowboys Mired In Misplaced Controversy

Does RB Ezekiel Elliott Deserve MVP Consideration?

I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but the Dallas Cowboys are in first place of the NFC East. Yes, it only takes being 6-5 to be in first place of this not-good division, but hey it’s still a playoff spot. Over the last three weeks the Cowboys offense has looked exponentially better than they did the …

Sack Numbers Don’t Tell DeMarcus Lawrence’s 2018 Story

Coming off of a career year in 2017, many fans expected DeMarcus Lawrence to continue his ridiculous sack production this season.

Warts And All, Dak Prescott Shows Why It’s Not So Easy To Move On

Dak Prescott was far from perfect Sunday night in Philadelphia. In fact, at times, he was downright bad. Prescott missed two potential touchdown passes to Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup on fly routes down the sideline, and might have left points on the board when he badly missed Ezekiel Elliott in the flat in the red …

Leighton Vander Esch Is A Stud, And Should Be For A Long Time

The Cowboys took their fair share of heat for selecting linebacker Leighton Vander Esch 19th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. But through just over half a season, Dallas is looking vindicated in their decision. Vander Esch was arguably the best defensive player on the field during Dallas’ 27-20 win in Philadelphia Sunday night, and made …
