A look at who you may see against the Giants in just over 11 weeks.
With 2017’s organized team activities and minicamp out of the way, and training camp still over a month away, the long lull of the NFL offseason is here. There are no more free agency or draft possibilities to obsess over, there are no OTA reports to look forward to, there is just the wait. In the spirit of that wait let’s put a slight spin on the 53-man roster projections that so often bounce around at this time of year...
In exactly one month, the Dallas Cowboys will be opening their 2017 training camp from Oxnard, California once again – on a quest for Super Bowl LII that will begin in the summer heat of California, followed by an extra preseason game in August 3rd’s Hall of Fame game, and end with open practices at The Star over the course of the final two preseason weeks. The NFL made Dallas’ July 22nd training camp start date official yesterday, although this date will only mark the Cowboys’...
Every year before the upcoming season officially kicks off, the Dallas Cowboys get together as a team and cast their votes for the season’s team captains. The Cowboys usually have five team captains: two on offense, two on defense, and one special-teams player. With things being so slow this time year in the NFL, I decided to try to predict who the 2017 Dallas Cowboys team captains will be. In 2016 the captains were Jason Witten, Travis Frederick, Sean Lee, Barry Church, and Dan...
An academic study gives Cowboys fans the props they deserve.
Study: Cowboys Top Patriots As Team With The NFL's Best Fans, Chiefs Rank Dead Last - John Breech, CBS Sports
This should not be news to anyone in these parts, but now a study from a professor at Emory University states for the second time in three years the Dallas Cowboys faithful are the NFL's best. The study took a lot of factors into consideration, including social media mentions and the support the team receives on the road....
Based on last year’s statistics, what can the Cowboys learn about the defenses they’ll face in 2017? When you go from worst to first like the Dallas Cowboys did in 2016, you will wind up with a first-place schedule. Depending on where you look, the Cowboys strength of schedule is between 10th (traditional win/loss calculations) and 13th (FPI uses home/away, distance traveled, time between games, etc). Preferably, FPI will be our guide due to the other parameters they use to make their...

You've suspected it all along, now it's official: a recent study confirms Cowboys fans are the best. A new study from Emory University confirms what many Cowboys fans have suspected all along, and what Cowboys haters have been agonizing over for decades: Not only are the Dallas Cowboys "America's Team", they also have the "best fans" in the NFL, according to research from Professor Mike Lewis at Emory University in Atlanta. Lewis uses three metrics to determine the "best" fan base in the...

Training camp practices start July 24th. While a lot of the team is set, there should be some heavy competition for those last slots. We’re doing a 10-part series to preview what those battles might look like.
The first place to look if you are thinking about Cowboys’ roster battles is our own 2017 Dallas Cowboys Interactive Roster Builder. This handy tool is kept up to date by OCC, and is well worth the visit because it shows that roster battles aren’t always within position groups,...
Some players have their work cut out for them if they are going to make the Cowboys 53-man roster.
The five week period before training camp starts up will mean there’s going to be a lot of time where no football is happening. That’s depressing. So what better time to do a complete ranking of the Cowboys roster. Keep in mind, a lot of this will change once things get rolling again. When camp begins, we will continue to track the progress and we’ll be using these arrows to show who’s...
Last night, the National Hockey League held their expansion draft to welcome their 31st franchise – the Vegas Golden Knights. With football always on my mind, I immediately started thinking of the Dallas Cowboys’ that are most important to this team’s future – as Vegas picked through every team’s roster to take players that were unprotected. Rookies and second-year players did not need additional protection by their clubs, meaning that in a hypothetical NFL expansion draft...
Unfortunately, this is the time of year where things are really slow in the NFL, which is why I thought it would be the perfect time to share with all you my pre-training camp 53-man roster prediction for the Dallas Cowboys. Yesterday I shared with you my predictions for the Cowboys’ offense and also included the specialist, so today I will turn my attention to the defensive side of the ball. How the Cowboys’ defense performs in 2017 will go a long way with determining the amount of...

Dak Prescott hype getting out of control, as shown by NFL top 100 list - Frank Schwab, Yahoo Sports
There is a bit of consternation at the high ranking Dak Prescott received on the NFL top 100 list. But ironically, this objection reveals an important truth about the Cowboys and their future.
Prescott had a fine season, and it was a wonderful story for a fourth-round pick, but it’s hard to think he’d have ranked No. 14...
FRISCO, Texas - In some respects, it could seem like just yesterday that the Cowboys drafted Byron Jones in the 2015 NFL Draft.
In 2011, the Cowboys set out on a path to construct the NFL's best offensive line, and it looks like they've succeeded.
In 2010, the most notable thing about the Cowboys' offensive line was its age. The 2010 starting line of Doug Free (26), Kyle Kosier (31), Andre Gurode (32), Leonard Davis (32), and Marc Colombo (31) totaled 152 combined years of age.
A few years ago, ESPN's John Clayton wrote about the "Theory of 150", explaining that if the combined age of your starting offensive line...
If the NFL added a 33rd team and had an expansion draft... which members of the blue and silver would you make sure stay safe? One of the most fun portions of the NFL fan’s calendar is draft season. Film studies, spider charts, and general draft debate adorn the halls of our discussions as we look to make our team better. Imagine though instead of a draft containing the nation’s top collegiate players, if a draft was filled with NFL players... aka an expansion draft. The last time the...

Cowboys owner Jones, HOFers meet with Pope
The evidence continues to build that there will be no sophomore slump for Dallas’ second-year quarterback, Dak Prescott.
It is a burning question for the Dallas Cowboys. Was the phenomenal debut of Dak Prescott a true sign of things to come, or was it a deceptive performance by an unknown quantity that will be nullified by wily defensive coordinators? The worry is that Prescott will fall into the dreaded “sophomore slump”. However, that may be as much a myth as anything.
For every...
Tony Romo to Jason Witten. You shouldn’t be able to read this without smiling and thinking of so many fond memories. After breaking into the NFL together back in 2003, the two became an unforgettable combo for 649 receptions and 37 touchdowns all with America’s Team. Witten has been the unrivaled professional in his worth ethic – one that will land him in Canton someday – for 15 years with the Cowboys, still going strong after being so influential to Romo’s development, along...
