Position Preview: Offensive Line

August 20, 2019

Despite the reputation of the Dallas Cowboys Offensive Line as the most dominant in the NFL, they did not perform to that standard in 2018. There were plenty of reasons why. Mainly, the loss of All-Pro center Travis Frederick who suffered from the effects of the rare nerve disease Guillain–Barre syndrome. Additionally, fellow All-Pro’s Tyron Smith and Zack Martin struggled with injuries of their own. Finally, an offensive line coaching…

The Dallas Cowboys tight end position has been a picture of consistency for decades. That is why last season, after Jason Witten retired, Cowboys fans found themselves in the unfamiliar territory of lamenting their clubs status at that position compared to the rest of the league. That is all supposed to change this year since Jason Witten has come out of retirement but is he the answer to the Dallas…

The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver group is the deepest it has been for a long time. Just last season, it was considered the weakest position group on the team. That was until the team traded a 1st round pick for Amari Cooper which sparked a 7-2 finish to the season, a division title, and a playoff victory. This year, Cowboys fans are much more optimistic about the wide receiver group…

When discussing Dallas Cowboys running backs, the conversation begins and ends with Ezekiel Elliott. The All-Pro running back has led the league in rushing 2 of his three seasons in the pros despite playing in only 15 games in each of those years. The year he did not lead the league in rushing, he still finished in the top 10 despite missing 6 games. Last season he caught over 70…

Don Meredeth, Roger Staubach, Danny White, Troy Aikman, Tony Romo… The Dallas Cowboys franchise has been fortunate throughout history in that they have rarely gone many years without a legitimate franchise quarterback. The current Dallas Cowboys quarterback, former 4th round pick Dak Prescott, has established himself as the next in line and is due for a significant pay raise. Prescott is not without his critics, but popular opinion is that…

The Dallas Cowboys special teams has undergone some major changes during the offseason. It began when special teams coach Rich Bisaccia departed to join John Gruden in Oakland. Bisaccia then proceeded to poach some key special teams contributors from the Cowboys such as Kyle Wilbur, Kieth Smith and Ryan Switzer. The final blow came with the shock release of trusted kicker Dan Bailey in favor of an unproven kicker Brett…

Position Preview: Secondary

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 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…

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…

Position Preview: Wide Receivers

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…
