As this off-season slowly moves there just doesn’t seem to be a lot of news coming out of Dallas. With the draft still three weeks away I’ll take any news I can get. Today the preseason schedule was released. Aug 8th. Dallas vs Cincinnati in the Hall of Fame game. Week 1. Date has not been set.  Oakland at Dallas Week 2. Date has not been set. Dallas at San Diego Week 3. Aug 28th. Dallas [...]

With the NFL Draft less than a month away, has Cowboys owner Jerry Jones tipped his hand? By now most of you are familiar with Dez Bryant, the star wide receiver from Oklahoma State. The Star-Telegram recently wrote that  Bryant may have validated himself as the “best receiver in the NFL Draft” during his most recent workouts. Bryant is a homegrown talent who hails from Lufkin, Texas. As a senior he was a member of the [...]

Until recently, I don’t think I truly understood just how many people are proud to be Cowboys fans. I’ve had tons of people request my friendship on Facebook that are fans of the Cowboys and it amazes me to see how loyal they all are! I see wonderful things each and every day from these fans that encourage others even when things may look a bit bleak. They also help keep me informed as to [...]

Outside linebacker play got more consistent for the Cowboys in 2009 with the emergence of Anthony Spencer and the usual All-Pro play from Demarcus Ware. There are questions however with the depth behind the two starting outside linebackers. Contrary to popular belief, I think Victor Butler played well for a raw rookie making the transition to linebacker. And we can’t forget about Brandon Williams, who was sidelined for the year with a torn ACL, and [...]

I hate free agency after the big players are signed. After Julius Peppers and LaDainian Tomlinson went to other teams, I got bored. Dallas is a big part of that boredom because they haven’t done anything. They haven’t pursued anybody that may have need of. Part of that is Jerry Jones’ fault; part of it is the fact that Dallas is such a great team that it doesn’t have a need for many players to [...]

I should preface this mock by saying it was composed with the assumption that Jerry signs O.J. Atogwe away from the Rams, releases Ken Hamlin and is counting on one of the youngsters such as Marquis Floyd, Jesse Holley etc. making the team as a versatile return man. 27. Markise Pouncey G/C Florida Pouncey is a strong and versitile lineman that brings youth and depth to the aging O-Line. Markise will compete with Kosier for the left [...]

Since this off-season has been very quiet so far for the Cowboys, other then the resigning of Cory Procter. I thought a few videos would put a smile on our faces. This video is from Tashard Choices Georgia Tech days. Watching it makes those who have mentioned trading him not want to anymore. A lot of passion in his voice. Give this man the ball more. Also makes you wish the season opened today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1A0NjohCxI [...]

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that backup offensive lineman Cory Procter became the first of the Cowboys’ 11 restricted free agents to sign his restricted free agent tender on Friday. Procter will earn $1.759 million in 2010 after the team placed the second-round tender on him. He was active for every game in 2009 but saw only limited action as a backup at center and guard. In 2008, he started 11 of 16 games [...]

The NFL announced today that they will be changing the current overtime rule for the post- season starting this coming season. The new rule passed by a 28-4 count. The owners also agreed to speak about the new overtime rule for the regular season at next years meetings. The four teams voting against the new rule were Buffalo, Minnesota, Cincinnati and Baltimore. This is the first time the overtime rule has been changed since 1974. [...]

According to the Dallas Morning News,  Stephen Jones confirmed an earlier report that the Dallas Cowboys are seriously pursuing a plan to split training camp this year between Oxnard, California and the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Speaking about the yet to be finalized deal that will allow the Cowboys to train in Oxnard for two weeks, the Cowboys Vice President said, “There’s a good chance we’re there. We’re getting everything put to bed. We get a [...]

Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware finished second to San Francisco’s Patrick Willis in voting for the Dick Butkus Award, which is awarded each offseason to the NFL’s best linebacker. Ware won the award last year and narrowly missed repeating after tallying 39 votes and falling short to Willis who had 50. The Butkus Award has was always been awarded to college and high school football players, but at the suggestion of Hall of Famer Dick Butkus, the NFL began  [...]

Driving into work this morning I was flipping between Fox Sports Radio and ESPN Radio on XM. Most of the talk was about baseball and March Madness, but for a few minutes I heard some ranting regarding the new Jets/Giants stadium and their dilemma about who will open the season in the new home. After a coin toss by the commissioner it was decided that the Giants will open the stadium on Sunday September 12th and the Jets will [...]
