Slotted to pick 19th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys find themselves in position to add a first-round talent to a team that fell just short of the playoffs at 9-7 in 2017. Faltering entirely on offense without RB Ezekiel Elliott too many times this season, it’s hard to argue this asset is …
Three of the four teams remaining in the NFL playoffs — a win away from the Super Bowl — ranked within the top four defensively in yards per game allowed this season. The other is the defending-champion New England Patriots, who of course were expected to reach yet another AFC Championship game, thanks to Tom Brady …
By keeping all three top coaches (Jason Garrett, Scott Linehan, and Rod Marinelli) in place for 2018, there isn’t a Dallas Cowboys coaching hire that feels like they “must” get it right to contend next season. This is how it should be. Producing nine wins, despite missing key players throughout the season, the Cowboys are changing …
The Dallas Cowboys are reshuffling their offensive staff below Offensive Coordinator Scott Linehan, but look set to keep continuity where it is desperately needed the most. After speculation about his departure for Oakland or Houston, Running Backs Coach Gary Brown is expected back in Dallas for a sixth season. Brown will remain in place to coach …
With 38 team sacks in 2017, the Dallas Cowboys surpassed their 2016 total of 36 and turned pass rush into one of their strengths. With a career-high 14.5 sacks, Defensive End DeMarcus Lawrence led the way as one of the most productive and consistent players on the whole roster. Compiling just 11 sacks over their final …
Plenty of Dallas Cowboys fans will remain rightfully upset that Head Coach Jason Garrett, Offensive Coordinator Scott Linehan, and Defensive Coordinator Rod Marinelli will stay for 2018 after finishing a season with Super Bowl aspirations at 9-7, outside the playoff field. The moves that have been made below these three primary coaches — to be criticized or praised …
With the NFL Draft, free agency, and of course the ongoing playoffs, providing so much for fans everywhere to focus on, it can be easy to forget that recovery is one of the most critical aspects of every team’s offseason. After the grind of a 17-week season, the Cowboys are recovering — both physically and mentally …
The first Cowboys coaching rumors of this offseason began with wide receivers coach Derek Dooley, who was reportedly “out the door” last week. Frustrated with his lack of input in Scott Linehan’s offense, Dooley pursued other positions around the NFL and NCAA. Yesterday, he was officially named the new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Missouri. …
“Amazing” and “inspiring” are far from the first words anyone would use to describe the 2017 Dallas Cowboys. In fact, they truthfully shouldn’t be used at all following the Cowboys’ 9-7 season that fell short of the playoffs. Both of these terms — along with just about every other positive one there is — apply to …
The Dallas Cowboys are convinced that a coaching contingent of Jason Garrett, Scott Linehan, and Rod Marinelli can collectively get the team back on track for 2018. In an effort to shuffle the positional coaches below these three, the Cowboys have seen nothing but well-respected coaches leave The Star so far. After outlining all of the …
Following a 9-7 season, the effectiveness of the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff has once again come into question. Changes at head coach, offensive coordinator, or defensive coordinator have felt imminent on the heels of a 13-3 NFC East-winning campaign just a year ago. Through the highs and lows this coaching staff again endured, and after clearing …
Playing more than enough of their starters in hopes of ending this 2017 season on a high note at the Eagles, the Cowboys produced a lackluster 6-0 win that will surely leave a bad taste in the mouths of Cowboys Nation – despite it being a victory. The win put the Cowboys at 9-7 on the …
