Cowboys Twitter was set ablaze earlier this week when an irrelevant, and fraudulent, stat was put out into the world by NFL Network. The stat, if you haven’t heard, indicated that Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had not yet thrown a touchdown pass in any of the training camp practices. Even in a world where this information …
Just about every July and August we see the same story play out at Dallas Cowboys training camp. A wide receiver strings together a few good practices, makes one or two “Twitter-worthy” plays, and flashes at the Blue-White Scrimmage. Then, Cowboys Twitter jumps into action, falling over themselves to claim credit for finding the receiver and …
Over the last few offseasons the Dallas Cowboys have made the conscious decision to overhaul and rebuild their defense. They’ve drafted young pass rushers, linebackers, and cornerbacks within the first two rounds of the draft on multiple occasions and have begun to put together their version of “Doomsday.” The one position on their defense they have …
Due to injury, suspension, and roster formation it’s fair to say that the Dallas Cowboys have a bit of a defensive tackle problem. Of course, some of this is due to their own choices. The Cowboys have consistently disregarded the 1-technique position, prioritizing other areas on the defense over a true 1-tech. Whether or not you …
The Dallas Cowboys made waves around the league when they decided to release veteran receiver and franchise receiving touchdown leader Dez Bryant this offseason. Bryant, who was the best offensive weapon on the Cowboys for a long time, had seen decline in his production and overall play.This decline coupled with his contract, and the lack of …
Being a Cowboys running back not-named Ezekiel Elliott in 2018, you aren’t going to get many opportunities to carry the football. Back during the 2016 NFL Draft, the Cowboys made the choice to employ a “workhorse” back, someone who will take the bulk of the touches and be their most dynamic offensive weapon. Still, the Cowboys …
For what seems like forever, the Cowboys have had a linebacker problem across their defense. And for that same amount of time the success of their entire defense has largely relied on the health of one man: linebacker Sean Lee. Of course it hasn’t actually been forever. Just a few seasons ago Rolando McClain had arguably …
Former first round pick Byron Jones has faced his share of criticism throughout his young career. Last season, one of the more hotly contested debates centered around whether Jones should continue to play at safety or be moved to cornerback full time. At his best, Jones is a sticky cover guy who can blanket opposing wide …
Arguably no story has dominated the Dallas Cowboys media circuit quite like the trade rumors about Earl Thomas. The All Pro Seattle Seahawks safety has made it very clear that he not only wants to leave Seattle if not given a new deal, but that he wants to end up on the Dallas Cowboys. Whether or …
A few months ago the Dallas Cowboys defensive line looked about locked-in. DeMarcus Lawrence’s spot at end remains unquestioned, David Irving and Maliek Collins were set to man the inside, and a slew of upside-type guys like Taco Charlton would compete for the RDE spot. As usual, however, things have gotten a bit crazy along the …
2018 has been deemed a do-or-die year for much of the Cowboys roster and coaching staff. Whether it’s quarterback Dak Prescott or head coach Jason Garrett, the Cowboys’ success (or lack thereof) in 2018 will play a critical role in decisions made about leaders in the organization going forward. In order to make this season as …
There’s no question about where the Cowboys have put their focus in terms of roster building as of late. By allocating a ridiculous amount of draft capital to their secondary, and spending first round picks on each level of the defense 3 of the past 4 years, Dallas is looking to build their next generation of …
When discussing the contenders in the NFC East, the same names are continuously brought up. Everyone who is deemed an “expert” on the subject points to the Eagles as the favorite, and the Giants as the sleeper of the division. Of course, the Philadelphia Eagles are the defending champs and deserve this kind of respect, but …
NFL Films typically does a good job of exposing some truths around NFL teams. Whether through “Hard Knocks” or Amazon’s new “All or Nothing” series, these documentaries do an excellent job of giving fans an inside look of their favorite teams. If anything was revealed through the Cowboys’ All or Nothing series on their 2017 season, it’s …
The Cowboys were fully aware of the risks involved when they drafted prolific edge rusher Randy Gregory in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft. They were also well aware of the potential rewards too. Gregory has spent much of his NFL career away from the Dallas Cowboys, dealing with suspension after suspension and rarely …
There is no one, stand-alone “best” strategy for winning in the NFL. There are, of course, common themes and ideals which run true year in and year out among the top teams. Strategy in the NFL is dynamic, or at least it should be. Running in place for too long under the same leadership often breeds …
As training camp approaches and we draw closer to the 2018 NFL season, fans are beginning to get excited for new faces, old stars, and new beginnings for the Dallas Cowboys. One player which has been a bit forgotten about over the last few months, and even overlooked when he was first signed back in April, …
During the Spring of 2015 the Dallas Cowboys faced what most considered a difficult decision. Following an unexpectedly successful 12-4 season in which the Cowboys won just their second playoff game since 1996, two of the team’s main offensive weapons were set to hit free agency. On one hand was wide receiver Dez Bryant, coming off …
Alright, I’ll admit it: the title to this piece is a bit dramatic. With that being said, however, there is some accuracy to it nonetheless. In the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft the Cowboys made a statement about the football team they want to be. A statement which they’ve been making during just about …
To say I’ve been bullish on Byron Jones’ potential as a Cowboy is probably an understatement. When drafted 27th overall, I believed Jones would be the steal of the first round, positioning himself as a versatile and athletic piece of the Cowboys defense for years to come. Through the first few seasons of his career, the …
For decades, raw counting stats have dominated our sports analysis. How many yards did the quarterback throw for? How many touchdowns did the wide receiver catch? How many tackles did the linebacker have? These are the types of stats and numbers that have dictated the way we view and evaluate players throughout the NFL. But unfortunately …
