With the draft just three days away, fans are eager to know who the Cowboys will take with the 18th pick in the first round. In past years there has been a consensus pick or even strong rumors of who we may draft – not this year. This year, has been very hush-hush as we enter the final stretch towards Thursday. I’ve pinged several of my reliable sources as I have in
Several NFL insiders are now reporting that Tony Romo has signed a franchise record monster deal for 6yrs. Cowboys fans worst fears have now been confirmed. NFL Network Ian Rapoport saying it comes with a record $55 million guaranteed, more than Super Bowl Champ Joe Flacco. We are stuck with Romo and his choke artist ways for years to come. Forget going after a legit quarterback
Raise your hand if you rolled your eyes when the Cowboys slapped the franchise tag on Anthony Spencer. After reading comments and a few articles on this move, it looks like Cowboy Nation is 50/50 with it, maybe less. Let’s be frank about this, why would we franchise an average player who had one good season (contract year) and has admittedly taken plays off in previous seasons
It hasn’t taken long for all the rumors and speculation to go wild soon after Rob Ryan was fired on Tuesday. Speculation is ranging from various defensive coordinator names, to scheme changes. There’s two things I believe the Cowboys are maneuvering towards: a change in scheme to the 4-3, and a change in philosophy. Jason Garrett clearly said they would be going in another
The Cowboys fired another assistant coach, and this time its defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. This is a move that I wanted to see happen, and one that needed to happen. Fact is, Ryan talked too much and couldn’t back it up, nor did he he ever elevate the defense to a top flight defense. Its funny to hear that his defense was exotic and aggressive – it was not. How many
The NFL Draft is just days away, and the Cowboys are narrowing down their options; however, several signs are pointing to Alabama safety Mark Barron being the pick. The Cowboys plan on using the pick on Barron if he’s there at #14, but there’s conversations going on about possibly moving up a slot or two to ensure the pick is theirs, but this isn’t something they
It shouldn’t be a surprise that Dave Campo will not return as the Cowboys secondary coach, something that should have happened the previous season. The Cowboys have had atrocious corner play, but this season it stuck out like a sore thumb and opposing teams knew where to hit us. Campo is out, and now comes the task to find a new secondary coach. Rob Ryan wants to bring in
Here we go; the fifth and final edition of the roster predictions. Keep in mind that this is a prediction of what the roster will look like Week One, not necessarily what it looks like tomorrow. Sam Young and Jeremy Parnell will both be on the team tomorrow at 4pm EST, but one of them won’t be when we kickoff in New York. QB: Tony Romo, Jon Kitna, Stephen McGee (3) Previous:
It’s the second-to-last edition of the nation’s best Cowboys roster prediction. I was going to do it yesterday but wanted to wait and see what happened with Andre Gurode first. Between that development and the Martellus Bennett injury, there are some new wrinkles to consider. As always, feedback is welcome and encouraged! QB: Tony Romo, Jon Kitna, Stephen McGee
About one month ago we saw veterans Marion Barber, Marc Colombo, Leonard Davis, and Roy Williams leave the team mostly due to their salaries. As this 2011 Preseason nears its end, it’s becoming clear that other veterans are due to suffer the same fate next offseason. Here’s a look at some Cowboys players who are almost certainly on their last ride with the team: Terence Newman
By yesterday’s signing of veteran kicker Shayne Graham, the Cowboys unofficially announced that they have no confidence in the young prospects currently on staff. It’s one thing to bring in another young guy such as Kai Forbath, but going the veteran route shows a philosophical shift likely brought on by growing concern. There is no position you can take lightly, but considering
After the second preseason game against San Diego, here are the updated roster predictions. QB: Tony Romo, Jon Kitna, Stephen McGee (3) Previous: Romo, Kitna, Mcgee I’m a little surprised by how little work Kitna is getting in the preseason games, but they must feel comfortable with it. RB: Felix Jones, DeMarco Murray, Lonyae Miller, Phillip Tanner (4) Prev: Jones,
