    • The Cowboys offseason activity shows they have a “type” when it comes to acquiring outside players
    Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images The Cowboys most definitely have a type when acquiring players The first week of free agency is nearing an end, and believe it or not, the Dallas Cowboys are making moves. And they are doing it in all kinds of different ways. They have hung on to key players by giving contract extensions to Osa Odighizuwa and KaVontae Turpin, but the bigger surprise is ho...2025

    • How the draft provides a déjà vu moment for the Cowboys to preserve the life of their quarterback
    Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images Drafting Ashton Jeanty would (obviously) feel a lot like 2016. The year was 2016. The Dallas Cowboys were coming off a losing season when their quarterback missed extensive time due to injury. They had finished with a 12-win season the year prior before losing to the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs. Their quarterback was entering his 10th season a...2025

    • Does it make sense to draft a running back in the first round?
    Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images If the best RB in college football in 2024 is there at 20 should the Broncos take him? Ashton Jeanty finished the 2024 season with 374 carries for 2601 yards and 29 rushing TDs. He also added 23 catches for 108 yards and 1 TD. He 6.95 yards per carry and 2709 yards from scrimmage were both eye-popping, but one of the knocks on him was that he played against “w...2025
  • Cowboys loss to Eagles historical notes: It was as bad as you think
    • Cowboys loss to Eagles historical notes: It was as bad as you think
    Eric Hartline-Imagn Images Sunday at Philadelphia was full of all kinds of bad Dallas Cowboys history. The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. For a Cowboys fan, that is never fun to say. It is for this reason that so many Cowboys fans who were on Team Tank last week wanted to see the team win. Sure, winning would have damaged draft position, but it would have been a ...2025

    Photo by David Jensen/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Dallas Cowboys won on Sunday and we have some thoughts about it all one day later. The Dallas Cowboys are winners of three of their last four. When this sentence is true in the month of December, then you are generally talking about a very good football team. Obviously that is not the case in our current moment as the Cowboys are a...2024

    • The Cowboys have handled the running back position perfectly this offseason
    Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports Some people are fine with how the Cowboys are handling the running back spot. The 2024 NFL Draft has come and gone, and while teams are still doing their final bit of work on signing players from the undrafted free agent pool, the Cowboys have just about wrapped up the most significant player-acquisition event of their offseason. That has led to quite the outra...2024

    • Until Mike McCarthy’s gone, expectations for the Cowboys’ run game shouldn’t be high
    Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images For over a decade in Green Bay, Mike McCarthy’s rush offenses were rarely among the top-half of the NFL. The Cowboys’ struggles with their rushing offense in 2023 have been a major offseason talking point. But while the drop in run-game productivity and efficiency was bothersome based on Dallas’ high standards, it was actually not a bad year for a Mike M...2024

    • 5 free agents the Dallas Cowboys could still sign
    Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports Contrary to popular belief there are still free agents who the Cowboys could look to sign. The Dallas Cowboys’ approach to free agency for fans is that itch you can’t scratch. You know it bothers you and want to do something about it, but the solution is just out of reach. Yearly, it’s understood that the Cowboys won’t be keen on signing big-name free agent...2024

The Dallas Cowboys are really good at evaluating the top players in the draft as they have an impressive track record of landing some nice talent on Day 1.

  • • Tony Pollard stacks up well in recent Dallas Cowboys history in one particular area
    Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Tony Pollard is a lot more tough than people think. There is a pretty common misconception about Tony Pollard. A lot of people view him as purely a home run hitter of sorts, a big play specialist if you will. Obviously Pollard is capable of pulling off runs for huge gains which is how his reputation has become what it is. Truth be told, though, he is also an ex...2023
