Can WR Michael Gallup Eclipse 1,000 Receiving Yards as a Rookie?

Despite Cooper Trade, Michael Gallup’s Development Can’t Be Ignored

The Cowboys made the type of splash they’ve avoided in recent years over their bye week, trading a first round pick for wide receiver Amari Cooper. The former fourth overall draft pick brings a receiving element which the Cowboys have not had on the outside this season, and will hopefully open up the middle of the …

Cowboys' Offense More Dangerous After Ezekiel Elliott's Return?

Can Cowboys Passing Offense “Get Right” Against Titans?

It’s no secret that the Dallas Cowboys passing offense has been subpar this season, but the signs may point to them starting to turn it around on Monday Night. Of course, the Cowboys traded for wide receiver Amari Cooper during the bye week in an attempt to solidify their “WR1” spot moving forward. But they also …

#DALvsTEN: Betting Preview, Trends, And Prediction

The Dallas Cowboys return to action this Monday night, and at 3-4, they will be fighting for their playoff lives. They’ll have a better idea of just how meaningful the game is based on the Washington Redskins’ results on Sunday, but beating the Titans will be pivotal regardless. Dallas is not only 3-4 straight up on …

Who Are The Tennessee Titans?

Enemy Intel: Who Are The Tennessee Titans?

The Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans really couldn’t be much more irrelevant to one another throughout NFL history. Playing just once every for years (and obviously never meeting in a Super Bowl) it’s rare that this match-up means much to either team. Being this is the case, it’s understandable that most Cowboys fans probably haven’t paid …

Jerry Jones: WR Amari Cooper “As Advertised” So Far In Practice

It’s pretty hard to make any conclusions based on a week of bye week practices. In fact, I’d say it’s just about impossible. But that will never stop Cowboys owner Jerry Jones from getting his two cents in about a player they traded a first round pick for. Newest Dallas Cowboys receiver Amari Cooper has been …

Now at 3-4 after suffering a heartbreaking road loss in Washington, the Cowboys and their fans are enduring this bye week with a lot of doom and gloom.

Dak Prescott: A+ Leader, But “C” Level QB Play

Let me start by saying this: as a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, I love Dak Prescott. Prescott is everything you want in a franchise quarterback. He’s a leader the players seem to respond to, he says all the “right” things in the media and, most importantly, he competes like hell every Sunday. Never, not even …

The Cowboys Are What They’ve Been Since ’96: Average

Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have been trafficking in overzealous fan hope for quite some time. For much of the past 20 years they have spent their offseasons making minor roster tweaks, maintaining the same core and swearing they are one of the more talented teams in the NFL. If we just got one call… …

WAS 20, DAL 17: Cowboys Make 1 Too Many Mistakes

Late in the fourth quarter the Cowboys faced a critical third down, trailing by just 3 points. As they did all night long, the Washington Redskins brought pressure, but quarterback Dak Prescott stood in the pocket this time and delivered a strike to Cole Beasley for a huge first down. Cowboys fans rejoiced thinking the team …

#WASvsDAL: Why This Game Holds Increased Importance

It feels incredibly cliche to call the week 7 match-up between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins a “must win.” Especially for someone like me who values statistics, logic, and analytics in sports. But when the analytics agree with the narratives, those narratives do tend to get my attention. And this week that would appear to …

Can Dak Prescott Continue His Washington Domination On Sunday?

There has been a lot of change within the Dallas Cowboys since 2016. Veteran playmakers like Dez Bryant and Jason Witten are no longer around, Tony Romo lost his starting quarterback job, and Dallas has jumped from league best to worst to average seemingly every week. One thing hasn’t changed these past two years, however, and …

Despite each looking awful during their week five match up, both the Cowboys and Redskins bounced back in a huge way a week ago. Dallas now sits at 3-3, just a half game behind the 3-2 Washington Redskins for first place in the NFC East.

CB Jourdan Lewis Finally Looks Himself In Cowboys’ Blowout Win

The Cowboys’ up and down start to 2018 has been full of both positives and negatives, but the one player everyone can agree on and be excited about has been Byron Jones. And, overall, the one position group Cowboys fans have been excited about through six week are the cornerbacks. Heading into the preseason, fans could …

DAL 40, JAX 7: Cowboys Answer The Bell In Dominant Win

It seems like a pattern is developing here during the 2018 Dallas Cowboys season. For a team and an offense which has looked absolutely horrid on the road, the Cowboys appear to be one of the better teams in the conference when playing at home. That trend continued today as the Cowboys dominated the now 3-3 …

Cowboys Must Contain QB Blake Bortles On The Ground

Sunday’s game between the Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars is correctly being billed as a low-scoring defensive struggle. Neither offense has much talent, nor have they had much production thus far in 2018. While each of the starting quarterbacks in this game have had their fair share of issues throwing the ball, they both present a …

Cowboys’ Issues Are Deeper Than The Division Race

Yesterday, Inside The Star staff writer Jess Haynie posed an interesting question: “could the wide-open NFC East help Jason Garrett’s job security?” The Dallas Cowboys started off their season a disappointing 2-3, but despite this rough start, they are right in the thick of things in the NFC East. The defending champion Eagles, who most expected …

The 2018 Dallas Cowboys season seems to be on the brink of collapse, especially after the demoralizing overtime defeat they suffered at the hands of the Houston Texans on Sunday. As much as Sunday hurt, and most of the Cowboys seem lost and broken, the linebackers have actually been arguably the best unit on the team. …

Another Thursday, another NFL gambling breakdown. This week the Dallas Cowboys host the Jacksonville Jaguars, and are valued as three point home underdogs. The over/under is set at the low total of just 40.5 points, which makes sense given the two offenses involved in this match-up. Let’s discuss these teams and this line a bit further. …
