As the years pass, many more players are entering the NFL as pure athletes capable of playing multiple positions. One of these positions is defensive end. The defensive end position has evolved. Players were once regarded as either run stoppers or pass rushers, but never both. Gone are the traditional monikers, and the defensive end position …
One of the most important positions on the NFL rosters is often taken for granted. Having capable interior defensive linemen is one of the keys to a successful defensive unit. Whether the lineman is a space eating 1-technique or a smaller and quicker 3-technique, a good defensive tackle can change the game for a defense. The …
You hear it said all the time in the NFL. Winning starts in the trenches. The big men up front dictate how successful or unsuccessful an offense functions before skill players can even make an impact. All four teams in the NFC East have key pieces on their offensive line that make life easier for their …
Aside from stellar quarterback play, it has become apparent over the past few years that the key to a successful offense is it’s wide receivers. Even a great quarterback has trouble running an offense when his wide receivers don’t have enough talent to steadily contribute. There are some great wide receiver corps in the NFC East, …
The NFL has converted to a passing league over the past few seasons. Gone are the days where just one stud pass catcher surrounded by role players is enough for an offense to be successful. Most teams either need an elite wide receiver corps to keep up, or they need an elite tight end to make …
The NFL might be trying to devalue the running back position, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an integral part of a team. The Las Vegas Raiders placed the franchise tag on 2022 NFL rushing champion Josh Jacobs, and as of today June 12th, he has yet to sign it. All reports say Jacobs is “making …
There are 32 teams in the NFL, but the real battle lies within the division. With each team playing six games versus their divisional adversaries, each matchup plays a huge role in the scope of the entire season. The NFC East is a particularly competitive division. There has not been a repeat champion since the Philadelphia …
Quarterback Dak Prescott is completely unappreciated by some Cowboys fans for the things he’s done for Dallas. As if it isn’t enough that every major media outlet is just sitting and waiting to spotlight every failure, he has to deal with it from Cowboys fans themselves. You will never make me understand the absolute hatred that …
The Dallas Cowboys haven’t advanced past the Divisional round of the NFL Playoffs since their last Super Bowl appearance in 1995. It has become a running joke on social media, with prominent talking heads like Stephen A. Smith leading the charge. The desperation rises with each passing season that ends in some sort of heartbreak. There …
Social media is a strange place most of the time, but the strangeness gets taken up a notch when it comes to Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott. There are two types of people online. Those who strongly support him, and those who do anything and everything to tear him down. Despite all of the good things …
Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Mike McCarthy addressed the media on Tuesday morning at The Star in Frisco. He might have inadvertently revealed the coaches’ plans to perhaps the biggest question from Cowboys Nation. What does “best five” mean in regards to the offensive line? There are essentially only two spots on the offensive line where we …
Yesterday we discussed how the Dallas Cowboys will field one of the top wide receiver trios in the league. Two offseason trades brought in veterans Brandin Cooks and Stephon Gilmore. The level of aggressiveness by the Cowboys’ brass was a welcome sight after being accustomed to seeing little to no activity in the trade and free …
Dallas fans have not experienced an NFC Championship Game since the 1995 season. You’d have to be 27 years old to claim to even be alive when Troy, Emmitt, and Irvin defeated Brett Favre and the Packers in Texas Stadium for the right to play in Super Bowl XXX. The Dallas Cowboys stepped out of their …
Earlier this week, we spoke about three players on the Cowboys that could bring the offense to new heights if they reach their potential. Today we will be discussing the same topic on the defensive side of the ball. The Dallas Cowboys have one of the youngest defenses in the NFL after spending 21 draft picks …
The Dallas Cowboys are revered for their drafting prowess. Of their last 15 first round picks, 12 of them have been selected to the Pro Bowl at least once. Will McClay & Co. miss from time to time like every other general manager in the league, but they have built a reputation of hitting on almost …
Countless times over the years, NFL coaches have taken players out of their normal positions on the field. More often than not, this strategy is used as a last resort before deciding to move on from the player due to poor performance at their original position. The Dallas Cowboys have shown to be successful in this …
Let me start by saying this. Despite the headline, I would absolutely love for DeAndre Hopkins to be in a Dallas uniform. As someone who was born and raised in Texas, I have always secretly rooted for the other Texas team in Houston. When they aren’t playing head to head versus Dallas, that is. Hopkins was …

To read part one, click here. Part one discussed five teams on the Cowboys’ schedule, with a possible eight quarterbacks …
Adam Schefter broke a story shortly before noon on Tuesday, May 23rd. A surprise: the Broncos informed kicker Brandon McManus, the last remaining member of Denver’s last Super Bowl team, and the man who has kicked for the team since 2014, that they are releasing him, per sources. There’s now an added veteran kicker for kicker-needy …
After just completing a three part series on Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott’s career win-loss record versus all opponents on the 2023 schedule, I decided to flip that coin over to the other side. We will now be dissecting how the Cowboys as a team have fared against each of the opposing quarterbacks for this season. …
