Positives From the 2019 Dallas Cowboys Season

2019 was, in a word, disappointing. What was supposed to be THE year for the Cowboys turned into the best description for the Jason Garrett era in Dallas: 8-8. It didn’t matter if the teams they played were without one or more of their best players, the Cowboys found ways to lose the game, or even …

The Dallas Cowboys Identity: Dak Prescott

The Dallas Cowboys Identity: Dak Prescott

Just a few months ago the Dallas Cowboys offense was simple: run the ball with Ezekiel Elliott behind their offensive line and let the passing game open up. This would allow Dak Prescott to open the passing game, let Dallas control the flow, and deteriorate opposing defenses. But times they have changed. Even though Ezekiel Elliott has …

The Cowboys Waited Too Long to Pay Dak Prescott. Now, It Will Cost Them.

The Cowboys Delay to Extend Dak Prescott Will Cost Them

Quarterback contracts in the NFL are not based on who’s better or even necessarily what that player has earned. It’s a market position. A market position that fluctuates based on how much the salary cap goes up, as well as who just got paid. The Cowboys had their window to give Dak Prescott an extension at a …

Shane’s Pre-Camp Dallas Cowboys Roster Projection

The first practice of training camp is on July 27th for the Cowboys, which isn’t very far off. That also means that the preseason isn’t too far off either. In other words, football is inching its way closer. Up to this point, free agency, the draft, and waiting on potential contract extensions have been the only thing …

Dallas Cowboys 2019 Draft Grades 1

Dallas Cowboys 2019 Draft Grades

Another year, another draft come and gone. The difference was that this year the Dallas Cowboys were without a first-round pick thanks to their trade for Amari Cooper with Oakland. Their de facto first-round pick would obviously earn an A+ from how well he meshed with Dak Prescott and gave this Cowboys offense another dimension. Given how …

Cowboys Likely to Draft 1st Rd Talent in the 2nd Rd

There’s only two certainties in life: death and taxes. Aside from that, life is unpredictable, and so is the NFL Draft. Every year, there are players taken both way too late and, sometimes, way too soon. We hear and read reports for months and think we have an idea of who’s going where, until draft day comes …

Interview with NFL Draft Prospect, Kahlil Lewis

Interview with NFL Draft Prospect, WR Kahlil Lewis

Hidden among another deep receiver class, Kahlil Lewis from Cincinnati is one who hasn’t gotten much attention. The 6’0″ 200-pound receiver was among his conference’s best but wasn’t recognized as such. In his four years with the Bearcats, he caught 168 passes for 2,116 yards and 21 touchdowns. Lewis improved his numbers each season he played and …

DAL vs TB: Cowboys’ X-Factors to beating the Bucs

The Dallas Cowboys were embarrassed by the Colts last Sunday. There was not one area that wasn’t shown up in Indianapolis.

The Cowboys Blueprint for Success has been Set

The Cowboys victory against the Jaguars was a reminder to everyone just how good Dak Prescott & Co. can be. They ran and threw all over the Jaguars defense like they were high school level.

Cowboys Preseason: “Positives” from the Cardinals Game

Not much could be said about the Dallas Cowboys after getting crushed by the Arizona Cardinals.
