2 Cowboys who should see more snaps after the bye week

2 Cowboys who should see more snaps after the bye week

The bye week is coming to an end, and that means the second half of the Dallas Cowboys season will begin. It is not going the way that we all had hoped, but the moves they made on defense at the trade deadline should at least set them up well for next year.

I am not moving on from this year yet, but with everything this team is going through and with the worst defense in football, it makes it tough after losing to the Arizona Cardinals at home.

With that said, I think this team still has a few...

Asante Samuel Jr. Could Thrive in Matt Eberflus’ Cowboys Defense

Asante Samuel Jr. Could Thrive in Matt Eberflus’ Cowboys Defense

Asante Samuel Jr. would be a strong addition to the Dallas Cowboys secondary thanks to his proven success in zone coverage under Jesse Minter — the same defensive style Matt Eberflus runs in Dallas.


A Scheme Match Built on Experience

The Dallas Cowboys should continue to evaluate ways to strengthen their secondary. One name stands out as a natural schematic fit — Asante Samuel Jr.

After thriving in a zone-heavy defensive system under Jesse Minter with the Los Angeles Chargers, Samuel’s experience and skill set align perfectly with what Matt Eberflus is building in Dallas.

Eberflus, much like...

Cowboys could field pair of brothers on defense next season

Cowboys could field pair of brothers on defense next season

The Dallas Cowboys shook the NFL world with their trade for New York Jets star DT Quinnen Williams just before the deadline on Tuesday.

In exchange for the three-time Pro Bowler, Dallas sent Mazi Smith, a 2026 second-round pick, and the better of their two 2027 first-rounders to New York.

The move signaled that the Cowboys are serious about rebuilding their once-feared defense, which has fallen apart over the past two seasons.

However, the fallout from that blockbuster deal (and the subsequent trade of cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner to the Colts) has caused unrest in the Jets’ locker room.

Ezeiruaku, James led Cowboys rookies in disappointing Week 9 loss

Ezeiruaku, James led Cowboys rookies in disappointing Week 9 loss

The Dallas Cowboys rewarded Donovan Ezeiruaku with his first career start on Monday night and the rookie did not disappoint. Shemar James started his fourth straight game and had a solid game as well.

The two rookies were some of the few bright spots during Dallas’ loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night.

Ezeiruaku collected his second sack of the year and added three tackles, including one for a loss.

The second round pick back in April had his highest snap count at 51. That equated to 76.1% of the total defensive snaps.

Jadeveon Clowney, a 12-year veteran, got...
