Just about nothing went right for the Dallas Cowboys defense in 2020. Under first year defensive coordinator Mike Nolan, the Cowboys looked to move from their more traditional single high (and occasionally two high) Rod Marinelli philosophy to a more complex quarters coverage philosophy. The goal was to be more multiple, more unpredictable, and tougher for …
The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver room is star studded. Between Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Gallup, you would assume there aren’t targets to be had for any other passing threats, let alone touchdowns. But early on in the 2020 season, that assumption was wrong. With quarterback Dak Prescott healthy, Dallas’ passing game was prolific each …
Outside of Dak Prescott’s contract situation, the Cowboys elite receiving corps was the main story of their 2020 offseason. Despite having holes on the defensive side of the ball, the Cowboys decided to draft Oklahoma star receiver CeeDee Lamb in the first round. Added to an already dynamic duo of Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, Lamb …
CeeDee Lamb was the star of draft night. No one expected the Oklahoma wide receiver to be the third wide out selected in his stacked class, and certainly no one expected him to last to 17th overall. But that’s exactly what happened. Lamb fell right into the Cowboys’ lap that night, and became the newest member …
With the 2020 regular season coming to an end, it’s officially award season in the NFL. Today, the Associated Press First Team All Pro list was released. In what likely comes as a surprise to no one, zero Cowboys were named first team NFL All Pro for this season. A look at the full AP NFL …
Back in September, it looked like the Cowboys had struck gold in defensive end Aldon Smith. Once an All Pro level talent who looked to be on a Hall of Fame career trajectory, Smith’s career derailed due to a series of off field incidents. But getting another chance with the Cowboys seemed to revitalize him, and …
Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is getting a head start on his 2021 recovery. Per Cooper himself, the star wide out underwent a minor ankle scope this week, and is expected to be ready for the entirety of the team’s offseason program. Cooper took to Instagram to announce his surgery, posting a photo of his foot …
This Sunday, the Cowboys travel to New Jersey to take on their rival Giants in their season finale. Both teams have been disappointing at times this year, but the Cowboys are playing some of the best football they have all season over the last four weeks. And despite combining for just 11 wins, both the Cowboys …
Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott looked himself last Sunday. Running for 105 yards on 19 carries, Elliott looked to have his old burst and power back during the Cowboys win over Philadelphia. Maybe it was the week off due to injury, or maybe it was extra motivation following Tony Pollard’s monster performance. Either way, it was …
There have been a lot of ups and downs for Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory. At some points, it was unclear whether or not he’d even play in the league. During others, he looked like he was born to wear 94 for America’s Team. Not able to suit up until week 7 of this season, Gregory’s …
It’s starting to seem like Kellen Moore is heading to Boise State. The second year Cowboys offensive coordinator is reportedly in the running for a head coaching job with the Broncos, his alma mater. Moore interviewed with Boise State last week, and some are calling him the frontrunner for the job. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy …
The Dallas Cowboys saved their season on Sunday, running the Eagles out of the building to the tune of a 37-17 victory. They kept their slim playoff hopes alive, and though they are currently playing the best football in the division, they’ll need some help from those same hated Eagles next Sunday. Washington sits in the …
When the schedule was released last Spring, every Cowboys fan circled their week 16 game on the calendar. Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles. Late December. Playoff births on the line. Right? Heading into the season, these two teams were expected to carry the NFC East mantle. They were seen as the class of the division, and …
For the first time since the disastrous 1-15 1989 season, the Dallas Cowboys have zero Pro Bowlers. Yep. Not a single Dallas Cowboy was deemed worthy of the 2020 Pro Bowl by the fans, as the team has struggled mightily in a disappointing season. Now sitting at 5-9 and somehow still alive in the division race, …
Longtime Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee has always been called a coach on field. The veteran who once carried the team’s defensive unit has struggled to stay on that field due to injury, but his guidance and leadership across the defense has never been lost. And while the transition for Lee becoming a coach one day seemed …
Despite the ineptitude of the teams, the race for the NFC East is certainly full of drama this season. And the NFL is looking to capitalize on that. The NFL announced that they will be flexing the Washington/Carolina game from a Noon kickoff to a 3:05 PM central time start. This aligns their kickoff with the …
It’s been a tough year for the Cowboys defense, but over the last few games a number of different young players have stepped up in a big way. Some, we expect to see it from. But others have been a pleasant surprise. On Sunday, defensive tackle Neville Gallimore was one of those pleasant surprises. The third …
When it comes to the 2020 Cowboys, “banged up” is an understatement. Of course their offensive injuries have stolen the headlines, as expected when you lose a franchise quarterback and a couple of future Hall of Fame offensive linemen. But the Cowboys secondary has been wildly injured lately as well. According to head coach Mike McCarthy, …
It’s been a spectacular rookie year for CeeDee Lamb. The first round pick out of Oklahoma has caught 61 balls for 742 yards and four touchdowns this year, battling through multiple quarterbacks to still put up solid rookie numbers. But while it seems like he’s made every play that’s come his way this year, there’s one …
As one would expect for a 4-9 football team, speculation about the future of Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has already begun. McCarthy was hired to replace former head man Jason Garrett, who seemed to have a lifetime contract with the team at one point, with the goal being to bring Super Bowl winning experience …
The Cowboys went into Sunday’s game with the Cincinnati Bengals extra thin in the secondary. Down Anthony Brown, Trevon Diggs, and Chidobe Awuzie the Cowboys were forced to rely on a group of unproven young cornerbacks against the Bengals. For the most part, these young corners played a solid game. But NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is …
