In more ways than one, the Dallas Cowboys are going in a new direction with their linebackers this season. Ben Bloom has taken over as the primary coach at the position, while Passing Game Coordinator Kris Richard also expects to heavily influence the unit. Short on numbers and proven talent prior to the draft, the Cowboys …
The Dallas Cowboys have concluded their OTAs in preparation for the 2018 season. Moving into mini camp next week, we’ve already learned a lot about the team’s thinking for players both new and old. Somewhere in the middle of this is Linebacker Jaylon Smith. Despite taking significant strides at the end of last season, the Cowboys …
Lost in the shuffle of the seven coaching changes the Dallas Cowboys made this offseason is a changing of the guard at the team’s most talented position. Not returning Frank Pollack to lead their offensive line, OL Coach Paul Alexander comes to the Cowboys new to this team’s approach but not in coaching up NFL linemen. …
The NFL Supplemental Draft typically comes and goes without any fanfare at all through the league’s offseason calendar. The case for the Dallas Cowboys since 2010, when they made their last supplemental pick in the seventh round with Illinois’ Josh Brent, this year’s draft may change the approach for many teams. Virginia Tech Cornerback Adonis Alexander …
Although the Dallas Cowboys may be giving us a slight taste of the 2018 football season with their ongoing OTAs at The Star, the NFL is still very much in offseason mode. The period to acquire talent may be long gone with both free agency and the draft in the rear view mirror, but 90-man rosters …
On a national level, it may be a while until the Dallas Cowboys young secondary gets the credit it deserves. This relatively unknown unit was a consistent bright spot through a rough 2017 season, seeing rookie Cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie and Jourdan Lewis contribute right away. Now, with Awuzie being joined by Byron Jones as the projected …
Bringing back third-year Running Back Darius Jackson as their former sixth round draft pick from 2016, the Dallas Cowboys have their entire draft class of two years ago back on the roster. For how long members of this nine-pick class will remain with America’s Team remains to be seen, but now is as good a time …
The Dallas Cowboys reunited with Running Back Darius Jackson yesterday, officially restoring their entire 2016 draft class back onto the roster. Always a fan-favorite player, Jackson was of course waived by the Cowboys near the end of his rookie season to make room for Darren McFadden. McFadden carried the ball 24 times over the final four …
The Dallas Cowboys continuing to churn their offseason roster is not inherently newsworthy. Throw in just one name and this instantly changes. Enter Running Back Darius Jackson. The Cowboys sixth round pick in 2016 has yet to take a hand off in a regular season game, but remains a fan-favorite prospect. According to Todd Archer, Jackson …
Early offseason practices in the NFL are about preparing a 90-man roster for the rigor of padded training camps and a preseason that depletes each roster to just 53 men. Understanding where a team’s strengths and weaknesses are with OTAs underway is vital to completing the roster. For the Dallas Cowboys, their defensive line projects to …
As I wrote exactly a week ago, in discussion of maligned Dallas Cowboys Wide Receiver Terrance Williams: “…this won’t be the first look we have at the status of the Cowboys receivers. I’m already on record having high expectations for Michael Gallup, and believe Cedrick Wilson was one of the steals of the draft for the Cowboys …
The Dallas Cowboys best move of the offseason may very well be hiring Kris Richard as their new passing game coordinator. Despite not signing any free agents or drafting added talent for Richard to work with in the secondary, the Cowboys have plenty of reasons to feel great about their current starters – along with an …
Two of the positions where the Dallas Cowboys find themselves with the most depth for 2018 are wide receiver and cornerback. The numbers on both sides of the ball here are a direct result of the work the Cowboys have done in the draft the last two seasons. The 2017 Draft was all about the Cowboys …
Given their rich history at the position, and current resources allocated to the running game, the addition of any running backs to the Dallas Cowboys roster is always noteworthy. Making two-time national champion Running Back Bo Scarbrough their last pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Cowboys did as well as they could at 236th overall. …
Where the Dallas Cowboys lost starters on offense this offseason in Wide Receiver Dez Bryant, Tight End Jason Witten, and Left Guard Jonathan Cooper, they hope to have made up for it with reinforcements along their league-best offensive line. The foundation of a team that will welcome back Ezekiel Elliott for a full season, the Cowboys …
This will hardly be the last article written about the wide receivers of the Dallas Cowboys entering the 2018 season. However, we can only hope it’s the last off-field incident that will factor into the difficult decisions the Cowboys will make on their final depth chart at WR. Yesterday, veteran Wide Receiver Terrance Williams was arrested …
The calling card for the Dallas Cowboys offense in 2018 – amidst all of the changes this unit has gone through – will be the same as it was the last time the Cowboys reached the playoffs. Winning 19 of 25 games that both Quarterback Dak Prescott and Running Back Ezekiel Elliott have played in, Elliott’s …
It is no secret that the Dallas Cowboys offense failed in 2017. As much as these struggles were about who wasn’t on the field for the Cowboys, the talent still out there could rarely do enough to win games. With an elite offensive line, young quarterback, and Dez Bryant on the outside, this was unacceptable and …
Former Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens Offensive Tackle Willie Anderson is bringing his experience in teaching offensive linemen to the best in the league. Announcing yesterday on Instagram that he’ll be in Dallas this week to train with the Dallas Cowboys OL, Anderson’s career puts him among the likes of the players he’ll train in Tyron …
Looking to build a defense that matches the skill level of their star-studded offense, the Dallas Cowboys spent three of their nine draft picks on Rod Marinelli’s side of the ball. Addressing arguably their biggest need at linebacker with the 19th overall pick, the Cowboys came away from the 2018 NFL Draft with two players for …
For the second time in three seasons, Dallas Cowboys Defensive Tackle Maliek Collins will miss the majority of the offseason program with a broken foot. Before recording an impressive five sacks as a rookie in 2016, Collins dealt with a broken right foot. Playing with lingering injuries while going through a position change last season, Collins …
