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…
53 Man Roster Projection: 2020 Dallas Cowboys
This Saturday will be the deadline for the Dallas Cowboys to select their 53 man roster. 2020 will be different from previous years because new rules permit the team to expand it’s roster to 55 players on game days. This will be accomplished by allowing teams to temporarily bring up from their practice squad which will now be expanded from 12 to 16 due to the pandemic. That is not…
Defensive Line Position Preview: 2020 Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys defensive line has undergone quite the transformation from last year. Not only is there a new defensive coordinator in the building (Mike Nolan), but they have also replaced Rod Marinelli with Jim Tomsula as the defensive line coach. Along with the coaching changes, there will be a change in philosophy and some personnel changes as well. That will hopefully bring the 2020 Dallas Cowboys offensive line to…
Is Earl Thomas worth the trouble for the Dallas Cowboys?
For nearly three years two things have been synonymous with each other, The Dallas Cowboys and Earl Thomas. It all started once the star safety approached former head coach Jason Garrett following a 2017 Cowboys loss to the Seahawks and requested for the team to “come get me”. That was enough to throw Cowboys Nation into a frenzy with the fan base starved for an elite safety ever since the…
Offensive Line Position Preview: Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys offensive line has long been considered the biggest strength of the roster. While they do have a lot of talented players at the position, their dominance has been exaggerated somewhat, especially of late. This season Joe Philbin was brought in as the new Dallas Cowboys offensive line coach and hopefully with his extensive experience and familiarity with new head coach Mike McCarthy, he can lead the unit…
Business or Bad Blood?: Cowboys release Gerald McCoy
The Dallas Cowboys released DT Gerald McCoy today less than 24 hours after he suffered a season ending injury. This largely came as a surprise to most fans and members of the media but apparently there was a clause written into his contract which protected the team against the specific injury Gerald McCoy suffered to his right quad tendon. The details shown here as per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network:…
Wide Receiver Position Preview: Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver group is arguably the best in the league, or at the very least the best top three. While they lack a truly dominant number one wide receiver such as Michael Thomas, DeAndre Hopkins, or Julio Jones, Amari Cooper is in that conversation. Cooper is certainly a top 10 and possibly a top 5 talent at his position. Coop is considered one of the premier route…
What Can, Should, and Will be Expected: Cowboys 2020 Season
Written by T Gordon Mayhall, Jr We really had an incredible off-season, probably one of the best we’ve had in…I don’t know…26 years? Which is how many days will be left when I finish penning this piece. Please don’t think I haven’t seen flashes of greatness in these 26 years, but one way or the other, we were never able to put all the pieces together to get back to…
Cowboys Land veteran FA pass rusher Everson Griffen.
The Dallas Cowboys made a big splash by signing free agent pass rusher Everson Griffen. The veteran free agent was available for quite some time and it did not appear as though the Cowboys had expressed any real interest. That made all the more surprising when it was announced by NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport via Tom Pelissero and Jane Slater. Griffen may be a little long in the tooth…
Dak Prescott is the leader the Cowboys don’t deserve.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott recently penned a letter to the Governor of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma parole board on behalf of death row inmate whose incarceration he believes was an egregious injustice. An article from TIME details the facts surrounding the case involving Julius Jones who was sentenced to death for the murder of Paul Howell in 1999. Jones was convicted despite a great deal of evidence that exists…
