Today we have five questions surrounding the Dallas Cowboys. As the team heads to training camp, we are polling the fanbase on these five issues along while adding some context of our own.

Mike: It’s not so much an individual battle that seems the most interesting to watch, but more of how does this cornerback group handle the wide receivers and running backs in the passing game. There are a lot of questions on the depth/injuries at the cornerback position and facing this passing attack led by CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Facing such a talent will hopefully raise the standards of this questionable cornerback group, as they say “steel sharpens steel”.
Brandon: I need to see what the Cowboys have at running back in order to feel completely confident in Brian Schottenheimer’s vision on offense. Having George Pickens in the fold should open things up for Dak Prescott, but what they do in the running game could make or break a run at the playoffs.
Javonte Williams should be the assumed starter given his experience and pass catching ability, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Miles Sanders also gets in the mix. Rookies Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah should be sprinkled in to start and don’t be surprised if Deuce Vaughn gets carries before they do given his familiarity with the offense.
Brandon: The pass rush drills are always fun to watch which is where I think newly signed Donovan Ezeiruaku will be able to shine.
Coming into the draft, Ezeiruaku was one of the more polished pass rushers showing off a variety of moves and speed. If he can use to his advantage against the Cowboys tackles, that should give fans hope for what he can do in year one while also scaring fans of Dallas’ depth at offensive tackle.
Mike: Tyler Booker has some big shoes to fill on the offensive line taking over from who was argued as the team's best player, Zack Martin. The offensive line needs a bully and someone to take the lead and Booker ticks both boxes, and with him taking on the role it will solidify the offense helping everything else filter from there. That makes his impact the most important, especially in the early stages of camp while the team tries to establish itself.
Mike: This falls on two players and both are on defense. Both Mazi Smith and Sam Williams have the pressure on them to prove themselves in camp. Smith will be in his third year and if he fails again here then both fans and coaches will be getting to the end of their tether with him,...
