Let me first start off by saying that the Dallas Cowboys proudly stake claim to the most loyal and passionate fan base in all of sports.  No team’s fans can sniff the enthusiasm that Dallas Cowboys fans have, and that reigns true throughout the entire country.  But lately, I have become a bit agitated with our fans and the things I have heard them say about this team. “Trade Tony Romo.”  ”Fire Jason Garrett.”  ”(Somehow) [...]

What a difference a year (and a lockout) makes. If there is one position on this football team that has impressed me this preseason, it has been the youngsters along the offensive line. If you would have told me that, leading into the season opener, Kyle Kosier would possibly be the most experienced player along Dallas’ offensive line, I would have asked you if winning football games was your primary motive. Jason Garrett and Jerry [...]

With the 2011 NFL Draft now less than 30 hours away, it’s not difficult to envision Jerry Jones, a proverbial riverboat gambler on draft day, posted up in the “War Room” putting the last minute touches on the team’s big board.  Jones has to be as excited as ever for this year’s draft, with the abundance of studs available across the board at Dallas’ three biggest position needs (defensive back, offensive line, defensive line).  Couple [...]

As the 2011 Scouting Combine comes to a close in Indy, prospects are getting rearranged and reshuffled on countless draft boards, mock drafts are getting retooled, value charts and “big boards” are getting redone. It’s getting to be that time of year when we start the wild speculation about the 2011 NFL draft and start coming up with the names that we could see on the backs of those famous white Cowboys jerseys. Since defensive [...]

Coaches and fans got their first look at the 2010 Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night against a highly touted Cincinnati Bengals club that many are predicting to be a Super Bowl contender this season. The Boys had an impressive showing for a preseason game, not allowing Cincinnati to score until the late 4th quarter. However, there were also some loose ends the Cowboys need to tie up before they take the field against Washington in [...]

Two words come to mind when I think about how the 2010 NFL Draft played out for the Cowboys. The first word is predictability. It turns out that the best barometer for predicting Dallas’ draft picks was not the numerous mock drafts put out by quacks like Mel Kiper and Todd McShay, but the pre-draft visits conducted by the Cowboys prior to the draft. If you paid attention to the players that were brought in [...]

Draft weekend is finally here. The day(s) that die-hard fans like myself liken to Christmas morning. Cowboys fans have come to expect the unexpected from Jerry Jones on draft day. His uncanny ability to wheel and deal on the clock is loved by some, and hated by others. Let’s go through some scenarios that could unfold over the next three days. 1. The Cowboys stand pat in the first round and draft the best player [...]

With round one of the 2010 mock draft a little more than two weeks away, I feel like it’s time to throw a mock draft out there along with Mel Kiper and Todd McShay. No worries though, unlike Kiper and McShay, my mock draft comes free of charge. Here is how I see it all panning out. 27. Anthony Davis – Offensive Tackle, Rutgers With the recent release of Flozell Adams, Dallas nabs Anthony Davis, [...]

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 [...]

Help could be on the way for the Cowboys as the official start of free agency begins in a little less than an hour. As expected, the Arizona Cardinals released safety Antrel Rolle this afternoon to avoid ponying up a $4 million roster bonus. Expect the Cowboys to take a long, hard look at bringing Rolle in to fill the ever-vacant safety position. Rolle is a young 27-years old, and played cornerback for the first [...]

Over the next few weeks leading up to the draft, I will put together a Cowboys Draft Series covering prospects and positions that I feel the Cowboys will be most interested in come the first round on April 22. The main factors for choosing the prospects to watch include the Cowboys’ position in the draft and players that fit their schemes on offense and defense. This week I will focus on the wide receiver position. [...]

As the NFL Draft quickly approaches and festivities at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis get underway, big names like Ndamukong Suh, Tim Tebow, and Sam Bradford will take the spotlight and dominate the headlines. But as we have seen in past drafts, it is sometimes the not-so-famous prospects from smaller schools that go on to make the biggest splash in the NFL (see Marques Colston, Tim Hightower, Joe Flacco, Brandon Marshall). Like in every draft, [...]
