Blogging The Boys
The Cowboys biggest offseason addition is just focused on playing football.
FRISCO, Texas – Heading into the ninth game of the season, George Pickens’ impact on the Cowboys offense has continued to be a positive one that went above and beyond Dallas’ expectations.
Pickens, a pending free agent this offseason, has said in the past and again on Thursday that he “wouldn’t mind” playing for the Cowboys long-term. When asked if he would rather get an extension done now or wait until after the season, Pickens put the ball in the front office’s court.
“That’s kind of up to what [Jerry Jones] wants to do,” Pickens said. “All I can do is just perform at my best.”

Also limited today were DeMarvion Overshown (knee), Tyler Smith (knee), Juanyeh Thomas (migraine), and Perrion Winfrey (back). Among those practicing in full were Cooper Beebe (ankle), Kenny Clark (elbow), and Marshawn Kneeland (ankle). Dallas is hoping to get Cooper Beebe, Overshown, and Perrion Winfrey back from injured reserve.
Can the Cowboys defense be salvaged before season’s end?
It’s no secret the Dallas Cowboys need to fix their defense if they want to keep any glimmer of hope alive moving forward. This season, they’ve allowed a minimum 30 points in six out of eight games, and not necessarily against top-tier offenses.
Quarterbacks like Russell Wilson, Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, and Bryce Young have played some of their best football against the Cowboys defense. Just about every running back has had monster performances, too. It’s a unit that needs...
