The Dallas Cowboys position preview is a breakdown for each position group in anticipation of the upcoming football season.
The Dallas Cowboys safety position has long been an area of weakness and at the same time a position the Cowboys front office refuses to invest serious free agent capital or premium draft picks on. The strategy hasn’t changed in 2021 but Cowboys fans are hoping for a different result. Similar to last season, when they signed former first round pick Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to a cheap deal, the Cowboys…
The Dallas Cowboys cornerback position has undergone a great deal of turnover over the past couple of seasons and it is one of the position groups in dire need of improvement for the 2021 season. The entire defense was abysmal in 2020 and new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn was brought in to help turn things around for the Cowboys this year. One of the areas Cowboys fans hope to see…
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 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…
The future hall of fame Dallas Cowboys Tight End Jason Witten is gone for good and Blake Jarwin finally has an opportunity to really prove his worth. Jarwin is the front runner to become the new starter but he will have some competition and a new coaching staff to win over in 2020. Which Dallas Cowboys tight end if not Jarwin has the potential to step up and deliver? Jarwin…
The Dallas Cowboys appear to have evolved from a run first offense to a more pass oriented philosophy. Despite that trend, one Dallas Cowboys running back, Ezekiel Elliott, remains one of if not the best player on the roster. Elliott is without a doubt the feature back but second year standout Tony Pollard emerged as a superb complimentary weapon in his rookie season last year. Beyond those two, there is…
The Dallas Cowboys quarterback position has never looked deeper than it does for the 2020 NFL season. Yet, the long term prospects at the position appear nearly as bleak as they had been during the years between Troy Aikman and Tony Romo. This of course is due to the fact that Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys failed to reach a long term agreement and therefore their young franchise QB…
The Dallas Cowboys secondary has been considered to be the teams major weakness defensively. The lack a legitimate ball hawking safety, a true shut down corner, and sufficient depth have been a concern for Cowboys fans for years. That perception is beginning to change for Cowboys fans with some talented young players emerging as rising stars for the future. CORNERBACK Cornerback is a position that Cowboy fans are particularly optimistic…
If there is one position the Dallas Cowboys are loaded, it is at linebacker. Between the three starters, it is difficult to determine who the best Dallas Cowboys linebacker on the 2019 roster is. Those three starters, Jaylon Smith, Leighton Vander Esch, and Sean Lee are among the top players at the position in the entire league. Will the talent the Cowboys have at that position lead them to dominance…
The excitement surrounding the Dallas Cowboys defensive line for the 2019 season is a little surprising after giving up 273 rushing yards against the Rams in the playoffs last season. The Cowboys defense is a deep and talented unit on the rise but have they arrived yet or are they overrated? For years the issue with the Dallas Cowboys defense has been the lack of a legitimate pass rush and…
