  • Jimmy Johnson at Cowboys practice

    24 Nov 2009 | 11:32 am
    Former coach Jimmy Johnson is attending Tuesday's practice. He is having a good laugh with Dave Campo about something. Terence Newman perhaps? He is also chatting with Russell Maryland, who is also attending practice. Quarterback Tony Romo is taking snaps in the pre-practice part of the workout. He looks to be moving around OK with that back injury. Tight end Jason Witten is at practice as well after missing the Monday walkthrough. We will know later if he does everything or not. The same goes with cornerback Mike Jenkins. The players are not in pads or shells for the practice. Not a surprise…

  • Roy Williams' response to LaRon Landry

    24 Nov 2009 | 11:08 am
    On Monday Washington safety LaRon Landry said Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams played scared on Sunday among other things. On Tuesday, Williams was asked about those comments. "God bless the individual, the young man, we love him," Williams said. "He's coming off a tough less to the Dallas Cowboys so I guess that's what he had to say. I'm going to continue to play my game and move on, got a win under my belt and I'm smiling." So was he running his routes differently as Landry suggested? "I'm running across the middle, stretching out, trying my best to catch the football," Williams said, "so…

    Cornerback Terence Newman made an appearance in the locker room Tuesday and did not want to talk about the sideline incident with secondary coach Dave Campo. "Is there any questions about the Oakland game?" Newman said. With that he handled a few questions about the Raiders, but he was asked again about what happened with Campo. "Every team has things that go down, you know what I mean?" Newman said. "So what?" And then he launched into a boxing mode, promoting a Campo-Newman undercard fight for the possible Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather bout in the future. At first he said Don King would…

  • Tough turnaround for Raiders

    24 Nov 2009 | 10:39 am
    For the second consecutive season, the Dallas Cowboys will be home for Thanksgiving against a team from the Pacific time zone. A year ago, the Cowboys routed Seattle, 34-9, in the holiday game. In the history of the Thanksgiving game, the Cowboys are 3-2-1 against opponents from the Pacific time zone. This will be Oakland's first Thanksgiving game since 1970, when the Raiders lost at Detroit. The Raiders will be so pressed for time that video-prep work will continue during the 1,475-mile flight to Dallas, coach Bruce Cable said. ``We'll probably have to work all the way up to this thing,''…

  • Oakland's Lechler on punting streak

    24 Nov 2009 | 8:15 am
    Dallas Cowboys punt returner Patrick Crayton will have to back up a few steps on Thursday. Oakland's Shane Lechler will be in town. Lechler, of Texas A&M, has at least one punt of more than 50 yards in each of his last 31 games. Of Lechler's 61 punts this season, 32 have gone for more than 50 yards. He leads the NFL in net punting average at 44.5 yards. This could become the year of the punter. Lechler is among a group of eight punters, including Mat McBriar of the Cowboys, with a net average of 40-plus yards. From 1976-2008, that happened only six times, with Lechler doing it twice.

    The Dallas Cowboys offense looked lost today in the 7-6 victory over the Washington Redskins in Cowboys Stadium. The nail-biter of a game ended with a Anthony Spencer interception of a tipped pass. The Cowboys played a team down to their third-string running back and a slew of injuries to the offensive line. Yet, the Cowboys could [...]

  • Late Romo Drive Helps Cowboys Nip Redskins 7-6

    With the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins, you have two teams going in two totally different directions. With the Cowboys, you have a team that is like the little girl with the curl; when they’re good, they’re very good. When they’re bad, well…I think you get the gist of this. Meanwhile, with the Redskins, you pretty much know what to expect: a team that is, to put it mildly, offensively-challenged. Having said that, both teams hooked up Sunday afternoon at Cowboys Stadium with Dallas having the most at stake. Unfortunately for both teams, they had this aversion for the end zone…

  • Cowboys Defense Should Have Big Game Against Green Bay

    Nate Acreman

    Defensively the Cowboys might be the biggest test of the season for the Green Bay Packers, who have struggled in recent weeks against  just moderate offenses.  However, what might go overlooked in the media but certainly not to the Packers is this Dallas Cowboys defense.  The Cowboys, who struggled early on to get even a sack never mind a turnover, have been on a roll since; thanks in part to the superior play of Jay Ratliff and DeMarcus Ware who combine for 9 sacks so far this season. When Dallas has the ball, the Cowboys are going need to continue to spread the ball around like they have…

  • Williams, Romo Dial 9-11

    Alex Weston
    12 Nov 2009 | 3:23 pm
    Since the week 6 trade deadline of last season, Roy Williams has been under the microscope in Dallas. In his first season as a Cowboy, Williams was only able to post 19 catches for 198 yards, and 1 touchdown. Nobody was more disappointed in those numbers than Williams himself. “We just never got it right,” Williams said referring to last seasons chemistry with quarterback Tony Romo. This year started much the same for Williams. After a full offseason of working with Romo, the release of the flamboyant WR Terrell Owens, and the assuming of the number one receiving spot, all eyes were on…

    What a load of bs turned in by the Cowboys against the very beatable Packers. Just when you get comfortable with the Cowboys they turn in one of these pathetic, turnover, penalty, sloppy ladened games. Anyone still think we’re back on track and going to be 13-3 or 12-4? This team never ceases to disappoint me, they beat the Falcons, they beat up the Eagles on the road, and then take a dump on fans in Green Bay…sucky. I have been and will continue to be wary of this team. November has been very good to Romo and the Cowboys, its Decemeber that we need to be looking at. Here’s…

  • DeMarcus Ware Signs 6yr Extension

    Joe Rodriguez
    26 Oct 2009 | 4:18 pm
    The Cowboys held an afternoon press conference announcing that LB DeMarcus Ware signed a 6yr extension. Ware is considered a top 3 LB, if not the very best in the league. Details of the contract: DeMarcus Ware received a six year extension worth $78 million. He received a $20 million signing bonus and will make $34 million in the first 12 months of the deal between bonuses and base salaries. (DMNBlog) This was a no-brainer deal, Jerry was going to reward Ware, and he didn’t quite break the bank as projected. Good deal for everyone.

  • Cowboys Find New #1WR in Miles Austin

    Joe Rodriguez
    25 Oct 2009 | 5:30 pm
    The search for Terrell Owens production as a #1 WR has been found in Miles Austin. If I’m the Cowboys, I keep going with Austin and don’t look back. Austin is clearly the new #1 WR on this team, he makes plays, and gains huge chunks after the catch, sounds like #81 from last season. Now, that we have found our #1 WR, the search continues for the #2 WR. Let’s get to the point, Roy Williams is NO #1 WR, he’s not a big play maker like Owens from last season, and he hasn’t even made plays like Austin has been making since he took over. Austin’s emergence is a…

    Joe Rodriguez

    Looks like the Cowboys have finally opened their eyes and will start Miles Austin as the #2 WR over Patrick Crayton. When I first saw the headline news I thought this was great and I love it, then I read that Crayton is upset. Give me a break, the guy is unreliable, his hands went from the best to questionable, reckless with ball security after the catch, this was a long time coming. Take the demotion and shut up, and the coaches don’t need to apologize, this team has been playing uninspired football since the end of the 2008 season. Just play and makes plays, or get demoted. Austin…

    Wow, what a game, what a load of garbage turned in by both sides of the ball too. All kudos for Miles Austin saving the day with his big catches for the win. But one thing remains a constant for this team, and that’s inconsistency everywhere you look. I really wanted the Cowboys to blow out the lowly Chiefs the same way the Giants demolished a similarly crap team in the Raiders; but no, we’re clearly not at the same level as the Giants, not even close. We can’t close out crappy teams, and we can’t win against solid teams, we still suck, we really do. Going into the…

    23 Nov 2009 | 2:26 pm
    The Dallas Cowboys’ (7-3) offense was unimpressive for the second straight week, but they only needed one touchdown to beat the Washington Redskins (3-7) on Sunday.  Some of the struggles can be attributed to Tony Romo injuring his back early in the game.  Romo was in obvious pain after having to make a tackle on DeAngelo Hall, who recovered a Marion Barber fumble.  After that play, Romo was terrible and was missing his receivers over and over.  Marion Barber did a good job taking some of the pressure of Romo, rushing for 99 yards on 20 carries, but his fumble was costly since Romo…

    The Dallas Cowboys (6-3) are coming off their worst offensive performance of the year and need to be ready to play against the Washington Redskins (3-6).  Their rivals have won five of the last eight matchups and are coming off their best game of the year where they beat the Denver Broncos.  Tony Romo and the offense need to be a lot more productive or they will find themselves on the losing end once again.  The Cowboys only scored 7 points last week against the Packers, but I think they will have more success against the Redskins.  Romo and Roy Williams have been having a lot of success…

    It’s amazing to see how some players repsond to pressure when another player at his position starts to excel.  Roy Williams has played his best football since coming to Dallas the last two weeks as he has caught 10 passes for 180 yards (18.0 avg) with a TD.  His recent performance shouldn’t surprise anyone because he’s a talented football player plus Miles Austin has been pushing him for targets due to his fine play.  The Cowboys need Williams to keep playing at a high level because it makes them very hard to defend because you can’t really double anyone.  Williams…

    With December just around the corner the Cowboys need Tony Romo to step up.  He has been awful in games in December and January since becoming the starting QB of the Cowboys and they can’t afford to have that continue.  Romo has completed 183 of 303 passes (60.4%) for 2,466 yards with 14 TD passes and 6 INTs (93.5 QB Rating) so far this year.  Romo has also carried the ball 23 times for 86 yards (3.7 ypc) so far this year.  If Romo can finish the year with his current QB Rating the Cowboys will be happy because they will be in the playoffs.  With all of the weapons that Romo has…

    The Cowboys will be without starting free safety Ken Hamlin for the next 2-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain.  Hamlin has played in 9 games for the Cowboys this season and he has 39 tackles and 1 pass defensed.  Pat Watkins will replace Hamlin in the starting lineup.  He has played in 9 games making 25 tackles this year.  This will hurt the Cowboys a little bit as Hamlin is pretty good at not letting WRs get behind him. UPDATE:  The Cowboys will be starting Alan Ball at free safety instead of Pat Watkins.  The 24-year old Ball has played in 9 games for the Cowboys this season and he has…

They did bench Jamarcus Russell in favor of Bruce Gradkowski and that helped get them a win against the Bengals last week.

Hey, it sure as hell beats losing and as much as Redskins fans can say this or that, the fact is that their team lost.- Romo was way off today and it was noticeable even before he hurt his back making a 'tackle' on DeAngelo Hall. I believe it's a mechanics problem when he starts missing high. I hate to say it, but there were a couple of throws where he was ducking away from defenders after the throw, but there were really no defenders in danger of hitting him. You can't throw accurately doing that. Bubby Brister and Mark…

  • Using the Pass To Set Up The Run

    19 Nov 2009 | 8:50 pm
    I'm a big fan of Football Outsiders and one of things they have talked about in their annual Pro Football Prospectus is that 'establishing the run' is a foolish, unimportant notion in football. And I agree, to a certain point.After the Packers game where Dallas didn't run the ball a lot there was a lot of issues with Garrett's playcalling in that game, particularly since Dom Capers noted that he only kept blitzing because he knew Dallas wasn't going to run the ball. Now, part of me doesn't blame Jason Garrett too much in that game. The offense just kept shooting themselves in the foot causing…

  • 5 Keys To The Redskins Game

    17 Nov 2009 | 7:32 pm
    Let's take a look at the main Skins stats:+6.6 QBRD-6 Turnover Margin43 sacks (on pace for season)9th in points allowedIt's obvious that the main issue with the Redskins is the turnover margin. They actually lead the league in fumbles (not fumbles lost). So that actually distorts their QBRD. Also, a +6.6 QBRD is nice, but can be viewed differently given their schedule (NYG, Phi, Det, TB, KC, Den (w/o Orton in 2nd half), Car, STL and Atlanta) That's a combined 30 - 51 record (.370) and an average record of 6-10 (on pace for the year).If there's one thing I learned from QBRD is that when a team…

  • The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    23 Nov 2009 | 6:39 pm
    Wow, I almost ate my words. I was absolutely convinced the Cowboys were not only going to win, but that they would dominate yesterday. I was right about the win but very wrong about they way it happened. There were some positives to be taken away from the game regardless of what you hear from ESPN or the Dallas media. Here is what I took away from the game.The Good: I saw a team that found a way to win when it seemed they were destined to lose. The Cowboys had no business winning that game. I know the team last year would have lost. This team seems to have learned what it takes to make the…

  • The Cowboys Will Win This Week

    21 Nov 2009 | 8:58 am
    I don't normally deal in absolutes when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys. But they will win this week. Had they won against the Packers last week I might feel differently. But the Cowboys can't afford to drop another game. The Redskins may have pulled off an upset last week but, let's be honest, their season is essentially over. The desperate team usually wins in the NFL. The Cowboys have more to play for and more motivation after what happened last week.At the beginning of the week I thought this might be one of those last-minute/last play of the game type of wins, but I'm getting a different…

  • An Interview with Daryl "Moose" Johnston

    19 Nov 2009 | 3:30 pm
    I was lucky enough to get some time to talk with three time Super Bowl champion Daryl Johnston today. It was quite an honor for a lowly fan like me to have 15 minutes of his time to discuss the Dallas Cowboys. Daryl played for the Dallas Cowboys from 1989-1999. He was the lead blocker for the majority of Emmitt Smith's all time NFL record rushing yards. Daryl currently works for FOX as a color analyst for NFL broadcasts. Any long time fan knows that "Moose" was a fan favorite no matter where the Cowboys were playing.Daryl talked to me in conjunction with his promotion of Bank of America's…

  • Things Are Never Easy Against the Redskins

    18 Nov 2009 | 6:44 pm
    On paper the game on Sunday looks like an easy win for the Cowboys. The Cowboys tend to dominate bad teams. Washington comes to town with a 3-6 record and a head coach who is nothing more than a glorified cheerleader. But they did pull off an impressive upset of the Denver Broncos last weekend so they are a little better than it seemed a few weeks ago. Still, without any rivalry implications this would seem to be an easy game.Unfortunately, history tells us otherwise when it comes to division games and especially division games against the Redskins. The best example to me is the 1989 season.

  • A Bad Loss, But the Sky is Not Falling

    16 Nov 2009 | 4:56 pm
    It was an ugly game. The Cowboys played a stinker in what could have been a defining moment in the season. With the Eagles losing to the Chargers it could have been a two game lead in the NFC East. That didn't happen. We all need to get over it.Sure, it was terrible. Just when they had us all believing they had turned the corner they gave us a reminder of why everyone is always skeptical about the Cowboys. For some reason they just can't seem to handle prosperity. I don't know what it is, but it is almost like you can feel it coming with this team every now and then. I have to believe part of…

  • Gotta Be Quick This Week

    23 Nov 2009 | 12:40 am
    Congrats to the Cowboys for their win in a high scoring, scintillating victory over the hated redskins…ohhh wait they won 7-6 ?  Ok , I don’t care.  Put that W over there with the other 6 W’s, add em up and tell yourself 7 wins is better than 6 wins.  I wouldn’t care if they beat them 2 to 0.  Problems ? Sure the Boys have a ton of them but when you win it gives you a chance to work on them

  • Firm Grasp of The Incredible Obvious

    19 Nov 2009 | 12:58 am
    I don’t usually subject the loyal readers of this blog to stats.  We all know the old saying about statistics…"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”  This week however there is a stat that may prove useful in predicting what the Heroes of our Youth may do against that football team from D.C. The redskins are ranked 1st in the NFL against the pass, hard to believe I

  • Yes There Are UGGly Losses

    15 Nov 2009 | 4:37 pm
    We already talked about ugly wins this year so now its time to talk about ugly losses. If you watched todays game you know what an UGGly loss looks like.  When nothing you do on offense works and then you manage to do something good and there is a penalty or a fumble thats UGGly. When your defense plays good enough to hold a team to 3 points in a half but you are still losing thats UGGly. When

  • The Next Big Game is Here

    12 Nov 2009 | 3:19 pm
    seems a little quick huh ?  that’s life in the NFL.  time to pack away those great feelings from philly and look only to Green Bay.  it would be a HUGE mistake to think that the 4-4 Packers is one of those games where you just show up and claim the Win. In reality there are no games like that.  The NFL has bad teams and great teams but the beauty of sports is that there is no scripted ending. 

  • Where Are All The Naysayers Now ?

    9 Nov 2009 | 7:36 pm
    The moaning, groaning and woe is me crowd seems to have been quieted for a moment.  The gnashing of teeth has subsided temporarily.  Amazing what winning cures. All the internet geniuses, most of whom have never been on a football field that wanted to bury the Boys after the first 5 games have scurried back down into their momma and daddies basement.  Maybe they can perfect their play calling on

  • Romo Friendly Offense: Week 11 vs Washington

    Daniel Dessinger
    24 Nov 2009 | 7:59 am
    For the past two weeks, I have been doing a double take on my calendar and making sure the month does indeed read November and not December.  For the second week in a row the Cowboys again only managed to place 7 points on the board, but thankfully we happened to be playing a team that wanted to lose worse than we did. Once again, I am searching for answers on just who is to blame for this week’s offensive disaster.  Last week, I placed the blame squarely on the shoulders of Garrett going beyond pass-happy.  Did history repeat itself once again this week? Just How “Romo…

  • Have the Cowboys Reached Elite Status?

    Daniel Dessinger
    21 Nov 2009 | 10:54 am
    Is Dallas an elite team in the NFL? If last week’s loss to Green Bay is any indication, the answer is a resounding “NO”. But let’s be fair to our boys in blue and see what the stats say about America’s Team. Do they measure up with the best in the NFL? Let’s find out. Offense Total Yards Cowboys rank 4th in total yards (3,514) and yards per game (390.4) behind the Saints, Patriots, and Colts. Passing Yards Cowboys rank 6th in the league in passing yards (2,344) and yards per game (260.4) behind Rushing Yards Cowboys rank 8th in rushing yards (1,170) and…

  • Washington #1 Pass Defense in the League

    Daniel Dessinger
    21 Nov 2009 | 7:11 am
    The trusty stats book strikes again! This one doesn’t bode well for our beloved Cowboys. As of Week 10, the Washington Redskins are #1 in pass defense for fewest yards allowed. To be fair to our Arlington Cows, let’s break it down. Let’s see who Washington’s played and whether the numbers are fair. Week 1 – Loss to Giants (17-21) Week 2 – Win over Rams (9-7) Week 3 – Loss to Lions (14-19) Week 4 – Win over Buccaneers (16-13) Week 5 – Loss to Panthers (17-20) Week 6 – Loss to Chiefs (6-14) Week 7 – Loss to Eagles (17-27) Week 8…

  • Top 3 Sack Monster Duos in the NFL

    Daniel Dessinger
    20 Nov 2009 | 12:50 pm
    Remember when everyone in Dallas was crying about not getting a sack in the first two games of the season? Fans were wondering if DeMarcus Ware had a masculinectomy. Then the magic moment came and Dallas started piling on the sacks. But how do they compare with other defenses in the league? I took a quick look this morning at the trusty stats sheet, and located the top three dynamic duo sackaholics in the NFL. Let’s take a look. Indianapolis Colts Dwight Freeney is third in the league with 9.5 sacks. Robert Mathis is fifth in the league with 8.5 sacks. Indy’s dynamic duo leads the…

  • Are the Cowboys Who We Thought They Were?

    Steve Hartline
    19 Nov 2009 | 6:16 am
    After losing to the Packers in Green Bay I think my basic question is back on the table:  Do the Cowboys make it to and win in the playoffs?  I thought going into Green Bay game the Boys ought to have run the ball much much more: off tackle with Barbarian end around with Jones play action with Choice. They did not. In spite of possessing a three headed monster they still scripted Romo dropping back and reading options. Going into this season I projected that those who wear the star would finish at a hoo-hum, lack luster 9-7 record.  I have bit my lip these past 5 weeks (in which Tony has…
