  • The Dallas Cowboys did a solid job in last April’s NFL Draft

    Owner/GM Jerry Jones did a nice job in last April’s NFL Draft as they found two impact players on offense in OT Tyron Smith and RB DeMarco Murray.  They also got some nice complementary type players who could see their roles expand in the future.  Here is a look at how the rookie class did in 2011: 21-year old OT Tyron Smith came to the Cowboys in the first round last April and he was really good as a rookie.  He played in 16 games (all starts) for the Cowboys last year.  He is going to be a big part of the foundation of the Cowboys’ O-Line both now and in the future. 23-year…

  • Cowboys 2012 Draft: How Good Is Dallas At Assembling A Draft Board, Part III: Defense

    27 Jan 2012 | 5:50 pm
    In part one of this series, we looked at what most NFL scouting departments do each offseason to winnow the massive amount of draftable players down to a workable number, and offered a rearview-mirror look at the Cowboys' 2011 "little board," made up of guys who they invited out to Valley Ranch for Dallas Day events in early April. Part II offered a closer look at the various offensive players on Dallas' short list, presented what I hope were some interesting numbers from their first years in the league, and concluded with a few salient takeaways from those numbers. Here, in Part III of the…

    Hello Group. My name is KD, and as much as I tried, I just couldn't stay off the Cowboys kool-aid this season. I know, I know, the past gave me no reason to think this would, or even could be any different, but I guess I'm just not built for that. They say the first step in recovery is admitting that you have a problem, so I'll just come out and say it. When it comes to predicting accomplishments for the Dallas Cowboys, I'm a homer. I'm a Cowboyholic. Wait for it, wait for it.... And I'm damn proud of it. Look, I'm a Cowboys fan. I'm objective in my analysis of the team's performance day in…

  • NFL Draft By Numbers: When Will Top Players Go At Each Position?

    One.Cool.Customer
    27 Jan 2012 | 6:01 am
    On Tuesday this week, we looked at how NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock ranked the top five players per position in this year's draft. Rankings like that always lead to interesting questions about positional value. Is a tackle more valuable than a corner or a pass rusher? Is the second best defensive end a better pick than the top-rated guard? A lot of this will of course depend on the individual player grades, but assuming two players have the exact same grade and also meet an equally big need, which player do you pick? These are tricky questions to consider as you build your draft…

    I don't know if it is because I now look for things I can write about concerning the Dallas Cowboys, but I had never noticed before how much was going on during the week of the Senior Bowl. Here are some brief items that caught my eye this week. First, a clarification from an earlier post of mine. I wrote about the offseason conditioning and training for the team. At the time, I put in this information about what the players could do outside of the OTA and minicamps, based on what I thought were the rules under the CBA. But the players are not allowed to workout at the team facility or work…

  • Tony Romo vs. Cam Newton; Pro Bowl Snub Not Exactly a Bad Thing

    Photo Credit: Jim O I, like a lot of you, was outraged by Carolina Panther’s quarterback Cam Newton getting the Pro Bowl nod over the Dallas Cowboys’ Tony Romo. But only initially. It is a travesty when you compare the numbers. Romo finished with 4,184 passing yards to Newton’s 4,051. That doesn’t seem like a huge difference until you take into the account Romo had far fewer interceptions (10 to Newton’s 17), and he threw 10 more touchdowns than Newton. All of this comes out to a 102.1 quarterback rating for Tony while Cam only produced an 84.5 rating. These…

  • Cowboys Interview Candidates For DB Coach At Senior Bowl

    Cowboys coach Jason Garrett and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan are interviewing defensive back coaches at the Senior Bowl, according to Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com. The Cowboys hired Jerome Henderson last week as the secondary coach, replacing Dave Campo. Brett Maxie, the safeties coach, was offered a new contract, but he elected to become the secondary coach of the Tennessee Titans. “We’ll continue that process,” Garrett said about interviews. “We want to make sure, whoever you bring into the organization, you go through the right process to evaluate them and…

    Jerry Jones seems to not be too happy about the latest incident regarding wide receiver Dez Bryant, as the sides have yet to speak about it. Bryant had a confrontation outside a Miami nightclub, on January 15th, and ended up being detained by Miami Police. Bryant was not arrested for the incident. “I haven’t talked to him about it,” Jones said. “I don’t know details of it from his perspective. But I’m aware of it.” Bryant is an excellent talent, but his off the field issues are getting worse and worse, and it’s something that the team is keeping…

    Jones observing practices at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. Jerry Jones is a frustrated general manager, and just like Dallas Cowboy fans everywhere, he should be. The Cowboys fell just short of the playoffs this year, but you can point to a handful of games where the Cowboys could have, nay, should have won. If they had closed those games out it could possibly be the Cowboys in Indianapolis this week. Granted, the Cowboys would have had to play at a completely different level in the playoffs and even without the collapses I’m not sure they would have been capable to knock of the…

  • OTs Doug Free, Tyron Smith Could Switch Sides

    Matt Loede
    20 Jan 2012 | 8:53 pm
    Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett confirmed that the team is considering having offensive tackles Doug Free and Tyron Smith switch sides in 2012. “It’s certainly a possibility,” Garrett said. “That was a possibility when we first drafted Tyron, and one of the many things that was attractive about him was his physical ability to play both right and left tackle in this league.” The Cowboys used the ninth overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft on Smith, who played right tackle at USC but has the feet, strength and athleticism to play left tackle at the NFL level. The…

  • CB Mike Jenkins Has Shoulder Surgery; 4-6 Month Recovery Time

    Matt Loede
    20 Jan 2012 | 12:27 am
    CB Mike Jenkins underwent surgery on his right shoulder last week and is facing a four-to-six month recovery time. A first-round pick in 2008, Jenkins has eight interceptions and 40 passes defensed in 58 career games. Jenkins is entering the final year of his rookie contract and the surgery could keep Jenkins out of the team’s OTAs and mini-camps, the team’s first on-field work with newly-hired secondary coach Jerome Henderson. In 12 games, the 2009 Pro Bowler had 24 tackles and an interception with eight passes defensed. Jenkins missed four games in the middle of the 2011 season…

  • Jason Witten Left Off the All-Any-Era Team

    Matt Cordon
    27 Jan 2012 | 9:27 pm
    The Dallas Cowboys have a tight end who can block better than many tight ends in NFL history. This same tight end ranks 38th in league history in receptions with 696. You might also recall that Jason Witten gained 53 yards on a play during which he lost his helmet. Here is that particular play: Well, neither Witten’s old-school toughness nor his modern-era productivity was enough to put him on ESPN’s All-Any-Era list. Witten didn’t even garner honorable mention, while RB Chris Johnson did. Sorry, but that’s just nonsense. The Steelers wound up with four players on the…

    Bill Belichick has led the New England Patriots to their fifth AFC title and fifth Super Bowl appearance. New England has a record of 3-1 in four previous visits. Belichick is one of three coaches to lead the same team to the Super Bowl at least five times. The other two are Miami’s Don Shula and Dallas’ Tom Landry.

  • Dallas Cowboys News: Jason Garrett’s Play-Calling Duties and Swapping Tackles

    Matt Cordon
    21 Jan 2012 | 1:13 am
    The Cowboys generated a few news items worth noting this week. With the hiring of Bill Callahan as offensive coordinator, Jason Garrett suggested that he might delegate play-calling duties. However, he has waffled on this point, and nobody is sure what will happen. In other news, the Cowboys returned to babysitting duties with Dez Bryant. When they weren’t doing that, they were considering whether to allow Doug Free to move back to right tackle and switch Tyron Smith to left tackle.

    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 one of his guys, so who or what does that mean? Ryan has had several stints in the NFL as a defensive coach, with stops in New England, Oakland, and Cleveland, so who could be the likely candidates for Ryan’s…

    The season came full circle with another disappointing loss to end the Cowboys 2011 campaign. It was Garrett’s first complete year, and 8-8 is the result. Most writers had pegged the Cowboys to finish between 9-7 and 8-8, since it was seen more of a rebuilding year in transition, looks like the pre-season consensus was correct. So, all Cowboys fan’s are still enraged and asking what happened, and what is the future of the team for 2012.

  • A Few Early Offseason Thoughts

    10 Jan 2012 | 7:56 pm
    It is really hard to watch the playoffs because the Cowboys are missing yet again. But I have definitely realized that the Cowboys had no business being a playoff team this season. The NFC playoff teams were all much more deserving than the Cowboys to be in the tournament. And I think the Cowboys would have lost to every team on the NFC side.Dave Campo is out as the defensive backs coach. I have mixed emotions on this move. When Campo was the head coach in the early 2000's I attended a training camp practice in Wichita Falls. He actually took about 5 minutes of his time after practice to talk…

  • The Better Team Won

    1 Jan 2012 | 10:36 pm
    I'm just going to write a few thoughts after the season ending loss to the Giants. The Giants were the better team. I really thought the Cowboys were better than this but I guess I was just seeing things with my heart and not my head.The Cowboys secondary is terrible. It is time for Newman to retire or get cut. Why don't the Cowboys DB's ever make a play on the ball? Eli Manning basically closed his eyes and threw the ball up to Victor Cruz with the Cowboys down 7 trying to get the Giants off the field on 3rd down. Scandrick had position but just got outplayed by Cruz once the ball was in the…

    This is it. The game we have been waiting all season to see. Win and the season will likely be viewed a success. Lose and the sky will be falling. One game to decide it all.There is no way to predict how this game will play out. The easy thing to do is predict another shoot out just like the first game between the Cowboys and the Giants this season. But how often do two games in a row play out the same way? It just doesn't tend to happen that way.The Cowboys defense just isn't very good. I have tried to justify their performances throughout the season in different ways. But the reality is…

    There were about 15 minutes on Saturday when I thought the season was over. Romo was in the locker room getting his right hand x-rayed and it didn't look good. Watching Stephen McGee operate ineffectively made it painfully obvious that the Cowboys can't beat anyone without Romo.So when the news came that Romo is ok I was all for sitting him out and giving up the Philadelphia game. There was next to nothing to be gained. Felix Jones was pulled around the same time as the news came that the Giants had defeated the Jets eliminating any chance that the NFC East crown could be sewn up early.We…

  • Cowboys Need a Better Start This Time Around

    22 Dec 2011 | 9:01 pm
    When the Cowboys and Eagles played earlier this season the game got out of hand very quickly. And that basically took the offense out of their game plan. The defense was scrambling to adjust to the onslaught of the Eagle offense. And by the time things settled down the game was long gone.Their were obviously some tactical errors in Rob Ryan's game plan defensively. He left the middle of the field exposed and the Eagles attacked the middle with ease. LeSean McCoy ran wild all game long. And what is scary is that I'm not sure that the defense is any better now than they were in that game. But I…

    To honor the holiday shopping season I offer a two-fer.  This edition of this tired old blog will cover not one but two games.  Both victorious at that !  What a bargain and you didn’t have to camp out in front of any store.  You’re welcome. First the game against the deadskins.  I was both amazed and ecstatic that their kicker missed 2 !! field goal attempts.  It seems like that never happens

  • Jason Garrett Could Stop Calling Plays?

    A big deal in Dallas was that the Cowboys hired an OC who wasn’t going to call plays.  Remember that?  Bill Callahan comes to town, he’s had better offenses (and better quarterbacks) than Jason Garrett, but somehow Garrett thinks he needs to call the plays.  I don’t quite get it, but now he says he might give up the play-calling duties someday, just not right now.  However, his explanation is a little bit odd: “Absolutely, absolutely.  I think you just get to a point where, ‘Hey, I’m going to turn that over to somebody else,’ and you’ve…

  • Kitna calls it a day

    Jon Kitna, the Cowboys back-up quarterback for 3 years, said that the 2011-12 season would be his last in the NFL. A back injury meant he missed the last 7 games of the recent campaign and now he has told the Cowboys that he will not be playing next season for definite. Being 39 years of age and the oldest quarterback in the league last season, Kitna’s retirement was around the corner. He had a very brief stint last season for the ‘boys, coming on for the injured Tony Romo at Candlestick Park to face the 49ers. Despite hitting Miles Austin for a touchdown, Kitna also threw 2…

    The Dallas Cowboys got off to a slow start in the 2011-12 season, going 2-3 in their first 5 games. However, in game 6, the introduction of a rookie was potentially going to get the ball rolling for the Cowboys and push them towards a playoff spot. The youngster out of Oklahoma burst onto the scene against the St Louis Rams in week 6. He recorded a massive 91 yard touchdown run which made up a large part of his 253 yards in 25 carries, setting a record for the franchise in running yards a game. His sublime performance showed agility, instinct and a good football brain. After the opening night…

  • Callahan to run Cowboys’ Offense…Sort Of

    It’s good when the Cowboys make moves to improve the team, especially on offense, but this is a slightly confusing move.  Bill Callahan was to replace Hudson Houck, and now he is going to be offensive coordinator.  However, he won’t be calling plays.  If Garrett is still calling the plays, what changes?  What is going to be the difference this time around?  I don’t get it. The problem with Jason Garrett is that he cannot run the clock properly.  He also cannot balance that and calling the plays.  Basically, the things on his plate that needed to be separated,…

  • Griffin Comes Out, Houck Retires

    RG3 is coming out in the draft.  We’ll get to that in a second. Hudson Houck, the incredible offensive line coach for the Cowboys, has decided to retire.  He has spent a great deal of time with the Cowboys.  He’s developed tons of Pro Bowl linemen, and he is a mainstay on the Cowboys staff that would have continued to provide stability as the team moves in the direction of Jason Garrett.  I think I speak for everyone when I wish him all the best in his retirement.  At 69, I believe he’s earned it.  (Especially when Jackie Slater credits you for his development!) Now,…
