Undrafted rookie free agent Bryan McCann already makes it in the record books.

It’s been almost two days, and I still can’t get Thursday’s loss out of my mind. It really doesn’t matter how many games we win or lose from here on out, and I had no illusions of grandeur that somehow the Cowboys were still in it, but that particular loss just stung more than usual. How amazing would it have been to beat the defending Super Bowl champs after all we’ve been through during this season [...]

It wasn’t a game that will go down in Cowboys history. Actually, it wasn’t even a game that the Cowboys had any business winning.  What the Texas Stadium crowd got in week 4 of the 1983 season was an ending that amazed even the players. The Cowboys scored first when Danny White connected with Drew Pearson on four yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. The Cowboys followed that score with a Rafael Septien 41 yard [...]

Recently, I came across an interesting comment that said the starting wide receivers, Miles Austin and Roy E. Williams, have combined for seven catches for 123 yards and just one touchdown in the last eight quarters. That’s an average of about 30 yards per game for each of them. That’s unacceptable from your numbers one and two receivers, even the Detroit Lions and St. Louis Rams can do better than that. Enter Dez Bryant. The [...]

Why does Marion Barber continue to get a healthy share of the playing time at running back? That’s the question Tim McMahon and asks one we’d all like an answer to. It’s a question that continues to puzzle me. The Cowboys opt to go with a two-back platoon, and dynamic Felix Jones is obviously going to be part of that. But it’s difficult to understand why Barber gets the rest of the carries instead of [...]

The Cowboys entered the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit with an 8-2 record and tied with the Philadelphia Eagles for first place in the NFC East. The Lions were 4-6 and five of their six losses had come in the final minute. The Cowboys were considered Super Bowl contenders in 1981 and they came out in this game ready to hand the Lions their seventh loss. What this game came down too would be the leg of a certain [...]

Well here we are Cowboys fans… Most of us have been screaming for change for well over a year and now that change is suddenly upon us. While most of us were hoping for something more than just Jason Garrett, it will certainly do in the interim, and we all should be rooting for him to succeed. I know I will. Our first game in this new Wade-less era comes against a fierce bitter rival, the New York [...]

Going into the second game of the season against the NY Giants in 1992, the Cowboys had only beaten the Giants once in the previous eight meetings. The Cowboys were looking to go 2-0 for the first time since 1986 and they got off to a good start. On their first possession of the game the Cowboys drove 72 yards on the Giants defense. They took a 7-0 lead when Emmitt Smith scored from the five yard [...]

Well, to point out the obvious, our season did not go the way we hoped it would to this point. A very disappointing first half of the season for our Dallas Cowboys. There is not a lot of things we can take so far this season as a positive, but there are some things we HAVE to say were good. The first thing that comes to my mind is our draft pick #88 Dez Bryant. [...]

On behalf of everyone at Lone Star Struck we would like to take some time to remember and honor all of our brave servicemen and women that have served and continue to serve our great country. Each Veteran’s day we have an opportunity to recognize the all amazing men and women who make up the greatest military in the world. They faithfully protect our borders and our freedom and our way of life. God Bless all of [...]

Cowboys Practice Notes The injury plague strikes again! Marcus Spears (defensive end) and Akwasi Owusu-Ansah (safety) have both been placed on injured reserve (IR). The Cowboys replaced them with two defensive linemen; Jeremy Clark and Jimmy Saddler-McQueen. For the first time this season the team practiced in full pads. Today was the team’s first practice under interim head coach Jason Garrett. Before today former head coach Wade Phillips had the players practice in shorts and shoulder pads. Garrett [...]
