Blog posts and articles documenting the 2020 Dallas Cowboys season.
The Dallas Cowboys are off to a 1-3 start this season and by all accounts they should be 0-4. They have been outplayed, outworked, and outclassed in every single game so far; And, if not for the heroics of quarterback Dak Prescott, they would not have had even the slightest chance of competing in any them. Or at least that’s how I see it. There is another point of view…
The Dallas Cowboys defense has been accused of many things this season. Being unprepared, lacking talent, lacking effort, and several other less flattering descriptions. But, when DeMarcus Lawrence came out and admitted that the Dallas Cowboys defense was “soft”, there was no better adjective to describe what has transpired over the first four weeks of the season. There are many theories as to why the Dallas Cowboys defense has performed…
When the Dallas Cowboys travelled to Seattle to face the Seahawks this weekend many expected them to lose the game. The Dallas Cowboys did indeed lose the game but the manner in which they lost was most unsatisfying. Injuries, mental errors, turnovers, blown coverages, and at times puzzling play calling all contributed to the loss. If that wasn’t enough to derail the Dallas Cowboys, the referee’s did them no favours…
It is only two weeks into the 2020 season but the Dallas Cowboys defense, a big question mark before the season began, has not impressed thus far. They have struggled on all three levels and injuries are beginning to mount up. Despite these glaring issues, the Dallas Cowboys appear to be content with the current group and have not sought out help from the free agent pool with the likes…
The Dallas Cowboys win against the Atlanta Falcons, the first of the Mike McCarthy era, was one for the ages. The Falcons had a 20-0 advantage after one quarter of play. They also led by as many as 15 pts with only 5 minutes left in the game. Incredibly, the Dallas Cowboys did not have a lead the entire game until time had completely expired on the final play. The…
Tyron Smith may not be available for the Cowboys Falcons game this weekend and that terrifies Cowboys fans. The last time that happened in 2017, his replacement Chaz Green made Adrian Clayborn famous after recording 6 sacks on Dak Prescott. Their right tackle La’el Collins is still out and the Dallas Cowboys offensive line struggled last week in the loss to the Rams. Winning this game is crucial for both…
The Dallas Cowboys are officially 0-1 to start the 2020 season and the loss to the Rams was a disappointing one. Not withstanding the egregious offensive pass interference call against Michael Gallup in the dying seconds, the Dallas Cowboys did not deserve to win the game. The season opener provided some bright spots as well as some concerns. Here is break down of the Good, The Bad, and The Ugly…
The Dallas Cowboys special teams play, or rather lack thereof in 2019, was a major contributing factor to the team missing the playoffs last season. New head coach Mike McCarthy has made improving special teams a priority as a result. The first thing McCarthy did was hire former Rams special teams guru John Fassel. That hire alone will make a world of difference. Coaching matters as was proven when the…
The Dallas Cowboys secondary is a group that has the most to prove in 2020. The safety position has long been the weak link for this franchise and the team has refused to address it via free agency, the draft, or even trade. Rumours swirling around Earl Thomas and dreams of signing Jamal Adams have thus far been only that, rumours and dreams. In addition to the obvious concerns at…
With the preliminary 53 man roster selected, the biggest surprise may have been the Dallas Cowboys linebacker group. Not so much who did and did not make the team but more so that only 5 (currently 4) were selected in total. The initial selection process included these 5 players: Leighton Vander Esch Jaylon Smith Sean Lee Luke Gifford Joe Thomas Joe Thomas was then released (at least temporarily) to make…
