What Will Happen to Cooper Rush If He Looses Sunday?

What Sunday’s win says about this player

Lost among the rave reviews of the Dallas Cowboys’ win on Sunday was a possible vote of no confidence in Dak Prescott. Now, before you warm up the pitchforks and torches, let me explain. When was the last time you saw the Cowboys play with that kind of fire on both sides of the ball? The …

It’s time for Dallas to start this player

It’s time for Dallas to start this player

It’s absolutely time to do it and there are no more excuses left as to why it shouldn’t be done. It’s time for the Dallas Cowboys to start Trey Lance at quarterback. With two games remaining in the season, the Cowboys have absolutely nothing to play for. They cannot make the playoffs. They can’t finish anywhere …

2025 Cowboys offseason: Dallas faces a two-player dilemma

2025 Cowboys offseason: Dallas faces a two-player dilemma

It’s the season of giving, but as we look toward the end of the 2024 season, it’s important to remember that the Cowboys’ offseason plans won’t give fans much to unwrap. Stephen Jones has already admitted this fact. We saw this happen last free agency, as Dallas delayed giving out extensions, costing themselves the cap space …

Final 2 Cowboys games could determine these players future

Final 2 games could determine these Cowboys’ future

As the Dallas Cowboys season grows closer to the end, they have been playing hard for Mike McCarthy who I think has earned his way to return as the head coach, like it or not, and trust me, about three weeks ago, I did not want him back and still really don’t. With that said, the …

3 Cowboys starters that must shine against Buccaneers in Week 16

The Dallas Cowboys starters have a tall task ahead of them tonight, as their slim playoff hopes could end with a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If they are going to pull off the upset, players will have to over-perform. Standing at 6-8, this has been a rocky road for Dallas; injuries, poor showings, and …

Which 2025 Cowboys free agents deserve contract extensions?

This 2024 season is slowly coming to a close, but the focus on 2025 may have already started in Dallas. The upcoming Cowboys free agents compile a lengthy list of key players needing new contracts.

Rico Dowdle may Already Have RB3 Position Locked up for 2021

This Cowboys’ player may be running himself out of Dallas

Rico Dowdle is on a roll in Dallas, especially in the month of December. In the last three weeks, Dowdle has piled up 392 rushing yards. That’s nearly half of his season total of 880 yards rushing. In the six games since Dak Prescott went down with a season-ending hamstring injury, Dowdle has 559 yards. He …

This Cowboys’ starter is channeling an NFL legend

For long-term fans of the Dallas Cowboys, there are a few names of non-Cowboys players that bring instant memories. Many of them are opponents that earn respect in victory and defeat. Most of them are unpleasant memories. Most of them are associated with former members of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Among those that aren’t, there is one …

Cowboys rookie continues to shine with his opportunity

The 2024 season has not gone the way the Dallas Cowboys had hoped, as they have more than half of their starting position players on IR and out for the season. One of those players is DeMarvion Overshown, who was having a great year after missing his entire rookie season with a torn ACL in his …

Cowboys player cemented his place in team history on Sunday

The Dallas Cowboys found themselves as underdogs against a Carolina Panthers team that has not been favorites in over two years, 33 straight games. In their first matchup as favorites, the Panthers looked like a real football team for about a drive and a half until the wheels fell off. Cooper Rush and the offense sure …

Dallas Cowboys fans have been clamoring for a shiny new running back for nearly a year. From Derrick Henry to Ashton Jeanty, the list of names linked to Dallas has been extensive, but those lists have wrongfully counted Rico Dowdle out.

Cowboys sign former 4th round pick after rash of injuries

The Dallas Cowboys are in the midst of a lost season. It’s a strange feeling to be looking towards the draft in mid-December, but the team’s ineptitude and sloppy play on the field have put us in this situation. Of course, many factors go into how a season goes for an NFL team, and the Cowboys …

One Player the Cowboys Fear on the Team

The one player the Cowboys fear is on their roster. The fear may be warranted after what has happened in the past with the position. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback room is very low on star power, and the current starter has little athleticism. Cooper Rush is a good backup quarterback but should not be used for …

Cowboys linebacker room looks bleak for 2025 4

Cowboys linebacker room looks bleak for 2025

The Cowboys are thin at linebacker this season, and that shows with only six players listed on their depth chart. Dallas was thin at linebacker last season as well, and to remedy that this offseason, they signed veterans Eric Kendricks and Nick Vigil, and drafted Marist Liufau in the 3rd round of the 2024 NFL Draft. …

3 Cowboys free agent targets for the 2025 offseason

3 Cowboys free agent targets for the 2025 offseason

I’m not drinking the Dallas Kool-Aid quite yet after two straight wins. With their starting quarterback out, an array of injuries, and a lackluster roster, the real focus should be on the future. The Cowboys free agent plan in 2025 is bigger than wins right now. We all remember how badly the 2024 free agency period …

Zack Martin: Is this the end for a Cowboys legend?

Zack Martin may soon be retired. The current longest-tenured Cowboy, Martin has led a Hall of Fame career, totaling nine Pro Bowl selections, seven All-Pro nods, and being named a member of the All-2010s team. In 2024, the 34-year-old was still playing at a high level, though a drop-off was noticeable. For those reasons, and because …
