The Dallas Cowboys were struggling offensively back in 2018 and needed a spark. At 3-4, they traded a 2019 first-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders for Amari Cooper, and their offense took off. In nine games, Cooper caught 53 passes for 725 yards and six touchdowns and the Cowboys won seven of them to finish …
The argument can be made that the left tackle position is the most important on the offensive line. With the majority of quarterbacks in the NFL today and in the history of the sport being right-handed, protecting their blind side is essential. Since entering the league a decade ago, Tyron Smith has been a standard-bearer for …
There aren’t many certainties in life. However, when it comes to performing at a high level for an offensive lineman, Zack Martin has been the standard since he entered the NFL in 2014. His combination of size, power, and mauler-like mentality has helped the Dallas Cowboys have one of the better offensive lines in the league …
The Dallas Cowboys did a defensive overhaul in the 2021 NFL Draft. Of their 11 picks, eight were on the defensive side of the ball, including each of the first six. After allowing the second-most rushing yards per game last season it made sense to add help on the defensive line, and that’s what the Cowboys …
It was clear after finishing 31st against the run and 20th in sacks last season that the Dallas Cowboys had to get better in the trenches on defense. They did quite a bit of work on the interior during free agency and the NFL Draft with the additions of Brent Urban, Carlos Watkins, Osa Odighizuwa, and …
Training camp for all 32 teams begins at the end of this month. Like every season, this is the time where guys who haven’t secured their spot on the roster are looked at as candidates to get the cut and have to look for employment elsewhere. It’s the tough reality of the NFL and not a …
Randy Gregory was one of the few bright spots for the Dallas Cowboys on defense in 2020. After missing the first six games with a suspension, he finished with 3.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and 12 quarterback hits in the 10 games he played in. That performance has put high expectations on Gregory as he’s projected …
The Dallas Cowboys had arguably their worst defense in team history in 2020, mainly due to their inability to stop the run. They allowed 100 yards or more 14 times in 16 games which included four games where they gave up over 200 yards. Not being able to stop the run allows the opposing offense to …
The biggest spotlight in the NFL and all of the sports world belongs to the Dallas Cowboys. Whether you hate to see them succeed or if you are one of their millions of fans around the world, they have an aura that can’t be denied, and people will always watch their every move. Americas Team is …
The Dallas Cowboys are favored by many to return to the top of the NFC in 2021. There’s plenty of excitement in Dallas with a healthy offense and hopefully a much better defense this season than the atrocity it was in 2020. The next step in their preparation for the new season will be training camp …
When the Dallas Cowboys selected Linebacker Micah Parsons with the 12th overall pick in the NFL Draft, the excitement for what he could bring to a defense that was one of the leagues worst in 2020 began immediately. One of the Cowboy’s most revered legends on the defensive side of the ball, DeMarcus Ware, has noticed …
The Dallas Cowboys lost veteran Chidobe Awuzie to free agency in March. That left Jourdan Lewis, Anthony Brown, and 2020 second-round pick Trevon Diggs as the only stabilizing forces at the cornerback position heading into the 2021 season. As the Cowboys entered the NFL Draft back in April, the thought was that they would snag one …
The Dallas Cowboys got an early Christmas present in the 2020 NFL Draft. CeeDee Lamb, who many had as a top 10 pick, fell to Dallas at 17. The expectations began to run rapid, and the former Oklahoma Sooner showed that he could live up to them. Through the first four games of the season, Lamb …
There’s no position on the roster for the Dallas Cowboys that has frustrated fans over the last several years more than the safety spot. For reasons no one can explain, it hasn’t been a huge priority when it comes to the NFL Draft. However, 2019 sixth-round pick Donovan Wilson has emerged as the team’s top player …
Over the first four years of his career, you could pencil in Ezekiel Elliott for 1,300-1,400 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns each year. However, the 2020 season was his worst statistical output since entering the NFL. He failed to reach 1,000 yards for the first time in a full season and looked like a shell of …
Contract seasons for any player provide a motivation that can fuel extraordinary performances on the field. The Dallas Cowboys have one of their top defensive players in that situation currently, Defensive End Randy Gregory. After signing a one-year extension last September that could pay him up to $2.1 million in 2021, Gregory reminded the NFL world …
There wasn’t much to be enthusiastic about when it came to the 2020 Dallas Cowboys, especially defensively. Offensive lines opened up lanes as big as the state of Texas as the Cowboy’s defense yielded the second-most rushing yards per game and gave up the most points in team history. However, there was a bright spot at …
The Dallas Cowboys were hit by a tidal wave of injuries during their 2020 campaign. The most high-profile injury was to Dak Prescott who suffered a compound fracture and ankle dislocation in Week 5 and was lost for the rest of the season. However, the Cowboy’s offense was depleted in the trenches as well. Tyron Smith, …
The Dallas Cowboys have wrapped up OTAs and mandatory minicamp and are currently on a break until training camp begins in a little over a month in Oxnard, California. America’s Team is looking to forget the disaster that was the 2020 season and get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2018. To do …
The Dallas Cowboys took Defensive Tackle Neville Gallimore in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft in hopes that his power and non-stop motor would add some much-needed depth to the defensive tackle position. Once veteran Gerald McCoy was lost for the season with a torn quadriceps muscle, the importance of Gallimore developing quickly increased. …
Offense and defense will always get the majority of the glory when it comes to the game of football. However, there are three phases to the sport and special teams have tremendous value in terms of field position which can ultimately dictate the outcome of a game. C.J. Goodwin joined the Dallas Cowboys in 2018. Since …
