Cowboys place DT on IR, poach another from rival practice squad

When the Dallas Cowboys hired Mike Zimmer to be their new defensive coordinator for the 2024 season, there were mixed emotions from the fanbase. Those emotions continue to be mixed just two games into the season. One very good defensive showing in Cleveland has been erased by one of the worst defensive performances in recent memory …

Cooper Beebe a lone bright spot among Cowboys' rookies 1

Cooper Beebe was a bright spot among Cowboys’ rookies

In a game that was so miserably bad for the Dallas Cowboys, it would be hard to find many bright spots among the rookies. Still, there was one rookie who put up a strong game despite the outcome of Sunday’s loss to the Saints. Center Cooper Beebe stood out not only among the rookies, but the …

3 reasons why Cowboys defense will improve in Week 3

It’s safe to say the Dallas Cowboys defense was a let-down in their Week 2 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. After allowing 44 points and nearly 200 rushing yards, the fanbase is down on the D. There is reason for optimism, however, in Week 3. Dallas will be taking on the Baltimore Ravens, and despite …

Cowboys veterans are off to a dominant start in 2024

The Dallas Cowboys veteran players showed up big time in the team’s Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. As Dallas heads into their next game, and their home opener, we have to ask, can these old guys keep it up? Both offensively and defensively, the Cowboys were boosted by some of their oldest players. Without …

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. I was not expecting much from his …

Cowboys Draft Pick a Perfect Fit 3

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 …

It’s been a long off-season, and this will be a long game against one of the toughest defenses in the NFL. Dallas heads into this season opener as the underdogs on the road. Overcoming …

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. Fans witnessed this during the negotiation of CeeDee Lamb’s contract. Both sides engaged in continuous back-and-forth discussions throughout the offseason until reaching an agreement just before …

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

The offseason departure of franchise legend, Tyron Smith, opened up a massive need at left tackle in Dallas. Once the draft rolled around, the front office’s top priority was filling that need, and they tapped former Oklahoma Sooner, Tyler Guyton to do it. This move was met with some fan criticism, and admittedly, some of my …

Cowboys close to filling out practice squad, lose 2 players to rivals

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. What we may be forgetting, however, is that the 2023 draftees have an even larger importance this season. Last season, Dallas saw perhaps their worst draft …

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 …

The Dallas Cowboys continue to shock us with the sudden and uncharacteristic aggressiveness they have displayed over the past few weeks. This time, they have added a 4x Pro Bowler to the running back room to compete for a job. Dalvin Cook, the long-time Minnesota Viking and one-year player for the New York Jets, has finally …

Cowboys final roster revealed: What were they thinking?

This offseason has been somewhat of a roller-coaster ride for the Dallas Cowboys and its fanbase, alike. It started quietly, with the patented Stephen Jones one-year deals for aging veterans phase. A great draft followed, but the Cowboys remained quieter than usual afterward. The fanbase grew restless, angry with the refusal of the front office to …

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. After all, it was a 40+ points allowed defensive meltdown that ended their playoff hopes in January. Things must be different in Dallas this time around, and with new Defensive Coordinator, …
