Cowboys might have found another day-3 gem

Cowboys might have found another day-3 gem

Week one is always filled with uncertainty, and one of those got off to a good start on Sunday. Fifth-round rookie Caelen Carson probably played as well as anyone could have hoped after we all thought that side of the field was in trouble when DaRon Bland got hurt.

Cowboys’ rookies had an impressive debut in Cleveland

It might only be one game into the season, but the Dallas Cowboys’ 2024 rookie class is already off to a much better start than the 2023 class had. Mazi Smith was handcuffed by an inexplicable decision to have him drop weight. Luke Schoonmaker’s pre-existing foot injury limited him. DeMarvion Overshown’s pre-season injury derailed his season …

Cowboys ground game is not flashy, but good enough in week 1

Cowboys running game was not flashy, but good enough in week 1

Many probably won’t agree with me on this take, because we all love to see six, seven and eight yard gains on every single rushing attempt. Yet the ground game Sunday against the best defense in football was not flashy, but it worked. The Cowboys ran the football a total of 25 times; the knee down …

Dak Prescott Deal Incoming? 1

Dak Prescott Deal Incoming?

The Dallas Cowboys front office is neither quick nor prudent when signing superstars to new deals. Dak Prescott is the latest player to learn this is not a quick process.

Did the Cowboys find their next All-Pro in Tyler Guyton?

Cowboys talented roster extends to the practice squad

Now that all teams have cut down their training camp and preseason rosters to just 53, over 1,000 players have been sent to free agency. Some players were claimed via waivers, vested veterans were signed outright, and others remained in the free agent pool. That doesn’t end the roster building. Teams must now fill up their …

Disappointing Cowboys draft class will start redemption tour in Week 1

With three rookie starters taking the field next week against the Cleveland Browns, there has been a ton of focus on the 2024 Cowboys draft class, and for good reason.

Aging stars won’t solve Cowboys running back problem in 2024

By the end of the 2019 NFL season, budding superstars Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliott finished fourth and fifth in rushing touchdowns, and combined for nearly 2,500 yards; a backfield with the two of them would have been unstoppable. Now, the Dallas Cowboys running back room has made that a reality. The only problem is, we …

3 players hold the keys to a dominant Cowboys defense in 2024

For all the Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and running back talk, the Cowboys defense may be the thing that makes or breaks their 2024 campaign.
