A collection of articles and blog posts concering Dallas Cowboys training camp, position battles, cuts, and roster selection.
The Dallas Cowboys are entering the 2019 season with lofty expectations. There is a ton of pressure that falls squarely on the shoulders of Jason Garrett to deliver and advance this team beyond the divisional round of the playoffs for the first time in 24 years. The current Cowboys roster is loaded with talent and before the season begins, the final roster most be selected. With stiff competition at nearly…
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…
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…
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,…
The Dallas Cowboys have arguably the best running game in the entire league. When you combine a running back of the quality of Ezekiel Elliott and put him behind an offensive line loaded with All-Pro’s and 1st round talent then you have a recipe for success. Elliott will be available for all 16 games barring injury and he should be in contention to lead the league in rushing this season….
Dak Prescott is now entering his 3rd year and there is a lot of pressure on him to perform at a high level this season. After a surprisingly successful rookie campaign, not to mention becoming the official heir apparent to Tony Romo, expectations were high for him last season. I would argue that the expectations were unfairly high for a 4th round draft pick in only his second season. …
