• BTB Wednesday Poll: Who will lead the Cowboys in rushing in 2025?

Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images Who do you think will lead the Cowboys in rushing this season? The Dallas Cowboys had a huge need at running back when the offseason began and have done a number of things to give themselves options at the group. With respect to players like Deuce Vaughn and Malik Davis, it stands to reason that the bulk of work will fall on the shoulders/legs of Javonte ...2025

• Which running back should the Broncos draft? DRAFTIQ and RAS for running backs

Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Can we use analytics to find and draft the next great Bronco running back? While I looked at some data regarding drafting a good and durable RB a few weeks back, I didn’t go into the same depth that I did with tight ends, tackles and IOL guys. So I figured that I would do that since draft week is upon us and most think that the Broncos will be using at least one ea...2025

• How to draft a good and durable running back in the modern NFL

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Does the recent adage of waiting until day two or three to draft a running back still hold? The Denver Broncos need an upgrade at running back. The team finished the season 21st in YPC, near the middle of the league in runs of 10 yards or more, and near the bottom of the league in runs of 20+ and runs of 30+. The OL was quite effective at run blocking with the...2025

• 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 at Panthers day after thoughts: Marist Liufau is a great sign for the future of the defense

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

• 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

• 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
