Blog post and articles documenting the Dallas Cowboys 2018 season.
For months there has been speculation the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks would come to an agreement on an Earl Thomas trade. The rumours began after Thomas made some controversial post game comments on Christmas Eve and had steadily gained steam ever since the two teams came close to a deal during the NFL draft in April. All along the speculation has been that the Seahawks were demanding a 2nd…
The Dallas Cowboys secondary is the biggest question mark for the defense heading into the 2018 season. Just as they were in 2017, they are young, talented and inexperienced which is a recipe for giving up big plays. That is exactly what they did on many occasions last year. This year many of these players are entering their 2nd season and now have a year of experience under their belt. …
The Dallas Cowboys roster cuts have been completed and a few waiver wire additions have been added. Injured players Travis Frederick (C), Datone Jones (DT) and Noah Brown (WR) remain on the roster but Brown is expected to be placed on IR and Deonte Thompson (WR) recalled. Here is a look at the current 53 man roster for the silver and blue for 2018: There is more than a few…
The Dallas Cowboys linebacker corps the last few years can be simply described as thin. Sean Lee is a perennial All-pro if he can stay on the field but staying on the field has been his only challenge throughout his career. After Sean Lee there has been a huge drop off in talent and every year when Lee goes down the Dallas Cowboys are scrambling to fill roster spots. They…
Jeff Heath looks to be the Dallas Cowboys week 1 starter at free safety in 2018. How do Dallas Cowboys fans feel about that? Well, the jury is still out on that verdict. The former undrafted free agent has replaced another former undrafted free agent (Tony Romo) as the most polarizing player on the Dallas Cowboys when it comes to fan perception. Half of the Cowboys fan base are ready…
Travis Frederick, affectionately referred to as “Fred-Beard” by Cowboy fans, is easily one of the most important players on the entire Dallas Cowboys roster. Ever since he was drafted in 2013 he immediately stepped in and stabilized what was once a struggling offensive line. The four time pro-bowler has developed into the best center in the NFL and a team captain. Travis Frederick is a player that the Dallas Cowboys…
For several years now the Dallas Cowboys DL has been a position of weakness. The lack of a viable pass rush has been the achilles heel of this organization and in both 2014 and 2016 were a major reason the Cowboys lost to the Packers in the postseason. In response Jerry Jones and co. have invested some heavy draft capital to find themselves a “war daddy” pass rusher to solve…
The current group of Dallas Cowboys wide receivers is considered to be among the leagues worst on paper. Many fans and experts had very low expectations for them after a disappointing season in 2017. Low expectations have now turned to absolute panic after the Cowboys cut former #1 WR Dez Bryant in April. The Cowboys also lost out in free agency on the targeted replacement for Dez, Sammy Watkins. Then…
The surprise retirement of Jason Witten had left the Cowboys stunned and unprepared heading into the offseason this year. For the first time in over a decade, #82 will not be the starter at TE for the Cowboys. If Witten’s retirement wasn’t devastating enough for the team his primary back up last year James Hanna also decided to hang up his cleats. Now the cast of characters remaining on…
Cowboy fans have long taken for granted that their team has one of if not the best offensive lines in the league. That perception changed dramatically last year after personal change and injuries exposed the lack of depth of the Dallas Cowboys offensive line. With three perennial All-Pro’s in Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick and Zack Martin it is hard to blame Cowboy fans for their confidence in that group. However,…
