These players need to prove something in 2nd preseason game

With the first preseason game behind them, the Dallas Cowboys did what they do best, even when the final score does not matter. Find a way to lose the game with nearly no time left on the clock. Rookies and others looking for playing time had plenty of chances to not even make that game close. …

A miserable week in fantasy football for Cowboys' players 3

The Cowboys ground game will not be easy to clean up

The Cowboys first preseason game is finally over, and it felt like I watched yesterday’s contest with the Rams for 12 hours. Let me first say I understand it was the first game of the preseason, and we shouldn’t take too much of this stuff seriously, but boy, some stuff was hard to watch. One thing …

Cowboys in regular season form in preseason-opening loss

Cowboys in regular season form in preseason-opening loss

Well, if that wasn’t the Cowboys Way when it comes to losing a football game. Dumb penalties that snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. In Sunday’s preseason opener, the Cowboys defense picked off Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett four times. Somehow, Dallas still lost 13-12 at SoFi Stadium. A fifth interception – which would have likely …

Which Cowboys wide receiver will surprise this preseason?

The Cowboys wide receiver room is younger and more unproven than at any time in recent history. When you exclude 31-year-old Brandin Cooks, the Dallas receivers on the roster have an average age of 25. We’re talking about guys that have little to no on-field experience in the NFL, like Jalen Brooks, Jalen Moreno-Cropper, and Ryan …

Cowboys open preseason play at Rams today

Seven months removed from being embarrassed on their home turf in the playoffs, the Dallas Cowboys will return to live game action this afternoon. Their preseason opener in Los Angeles – against the Rams at SoFi Stadium – kicks off at 3:30. The first of three exhibition games, it will have little bearing on Dallas’ playoff …

What will be the Cowboys’ biggest weakness in 2024?

After an offseason of changes, departures, and frustration, we finally get to see the 2024 Dallas Cowboys’ roster strengths and weaknesses in action.

Andrew Booth: What are the Cowboys getting?

Early Friday afternoon, the Dallas Cowboys completed a blockbuster trade with the Minnesota Vikings. Ok, maybe not a blockbuster like the video rental store back in its heyday. The Cowboys have sent CB Nahshon Wright to Minnesota in exchange for CB Andrew Booth. It is a trade that will go relatively unnoticed by the rest of …

The Dallas Cowboys have Eyes for Others at Running Back

The Dallas Cowboys have eyes for others at running back. It is not wild to think that the Cowboys running back room is not up to par with the offense’s standards. When fans look at the running back depth chart, they see players like Ezekiel Elliot and Rico Dowdle. The question arises-can these players step up …

TRADE: Cowboys and Vikings swap underwhelming cornerbacks

TRADE: Cowboys and Vikings swap underwhelming cornerbacks

The day for a Dallas Cowboys fan started out with some drama that ended up not resulting in anything. QB Dak Prescott was notably absent from practice. What started the drama was Owner/GM Jerry Jones and VP of Player Personnel Will McClay were also absent. Cue the eyeball emojis all over Twitter/X. The speculation was that …

3 Cowboys starters that must stay healthy in 2024

Two weeks ago, we had the first addition to the Cowboys’ injury report of the year. Defensive End Sam Williams went down with an ACL tear. Two weeks later, Dallas is praying that some other key pieces don’t end up on the same list. The injury bug is unavoidable. Last year, it was guys like DeMarvion …

Jerry Jones and the Destruction of the Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys, a team that has left an indelible mark on American sports history, have been known as America’s Team since their first game in 1979 against the St. Louis Cardinals. At the beginning of the game, CBS announcer Pat Summerall introduced the team as America’s Team, a nickname that has not only stuck with …

Cowboys coach who isn’t getting nearly enough credit

When we think about coaching the Cowboys, we jump to Mike McCarthy and Mike Zimmer, possibly John Fassel as well. Yet, one coach is doing such a good job with his unit, we should talk about him a bit more. Al Harris was a two-time Pro Bowler and All-Pro during his playing career with the Green …

Will new Cowboys defensive signings make an impact?

The Dallas Cowboys just can’t seem to find a way to get through training camp and the preseason without a major injury to an impact player. They lost Trevon Diggs a season ago, and now they lost Sam Williams two Sundays ago. Williams’ season ended with a torn ACL and a partial MCL tear, and although …

New Linebacker Makes the Position a Strength

The Dallas Cowboys like to shop in the bargain bin for free agents, and every once in a while, it works out. Is the new linebacker they picked up from the free agent pool no different? The new linebacker addition is Nick Vigil, an eight-year veteran who brings experience and physicality to the defense. Let’s look …

Is Jerry Jones ready to move on from CeeDee Lamb?

Earlier this week, the Dallas Cowboys placed wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on the Reserve/Did Not Report list. Lamb has been holding out for a new contract and did not report to camp in Oxnard two weeks ago. Supposedly, negotiations had looked promising. So, what changed to necessitate this move now? The Preseason Opener Nears The Cowboys …

Are Mike Zimmer and Micah Parsons finally on the same page?

Most of the talk about Micah Parsons this offseason has been about his contract and some off-the-field issues, like his podcasting and just being a vocal person. As we all should know by now, Mike Zimmer took over the defense after Dan Quinn became the head coach of the Washington Commanders. The production from Parsons has …

The kickoff to the 2024 NFL regular season is under five weeks away and training camp has already revealed interesting things about many teams.

Despite scrutiny, 3rd-year player leads Cowboys WR3 race

The Dallas Cowboys have a few more practices to get in this week before sharing the field with the Los Angeles Rams this coming Thursday. Competition so far at this training camp has been fierce. The exodus of more than a dozen players from last year’s team means fresh faces are strapping on their helmets to …
