Today is a good day for this play to die

If you’re a Star Trek nerd like me, you’ve heard of the old Klingon saying: “Today is a good day to die.”

Well, today is a good day for one of the biggest garbage plays in the history of the NFL to die. The NFL Rules Committee is poised to put an end to “The Tush Push.”

Yes, the play the Eagles made famous back in 2022 is on the verge of getting a brotherly shove right out of the league.

Frankly, it should have been outlawed before the 2023 season.

The defenders, a.k.a. Eagles fans, are claiming that the...

BTB Tuesday Takes: Why it is silly to ban the tush push

How do you feel about some NFL owners wanting to outlaw the tush push?

NFL owners are convening this week in Florida to discuss all sorts of manners relative to the league as a whole. It is in situations like these that rules are changed and protocols are set for the future to come.

Oftentimes we applaud the rule changes that the league comes up with. They are very born of necessary evolution what with the game having changed thanks to any number of reasons, but sometimes they are the league tinkering with something for the sake of tinkering.

How the Cowboys could make a big splash by trading down, not up, in the 2025 NFL Draft

How the Cowboys could make a big splash by trading down, not up, in the 2025 NFL Draft

It would be very wise for the Cowboys to trade down during the NFL Draft.

We are less than a month away from the 2025 NFL Draft, where the Dallas Cowboys will go to work and find some new players. Some have expressed an interest in trading up for Colorado’s Travis Hunter to give them another star player at a premium position(s).

Previously, we discussed why this would not be the best route to take, and today we’re going to go in the opposite direction and examine what a Cowboys draft might look like if they were to trade back...

Stephen Jones indicates the Cowboys are in the hunt for “explosive” WR2

As the Dallas Cowboys gear up for the 2025 offseason, one of the key areas of focus should be bolstering their wide receiver corps.

Stephen Jones, the team’s Chief Operating Officer, recently commented on the team’s strategy and plans for the upcoming season, specifically addressing the need for a reliable No. 2 wide receiver to complement their star, CeeDee Lamb.

We are still open to looking for an explosive WR2 that could upgrade us.

This revelation has sparked excitement and curiosity among Cowboys fans, as the team looks to address a potential weakness in an otherwise strong roster.

Cowboys looking to add ‘really explosive’ number two wide receiver - Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com

It’s no surprise Stephen Jones likes the receivers the Cowboys already have, but the expectation is still for Dallas to add to the depth chart early in the draft.

“We’re still open to looking at a really explosive number two that could upgrade us,” Jones said. “But as I said, I like our room and certainly like the players we currently have.”

As it stands, the only external addition the Cowboys have made...

NFL Draft: Day 2 and 3 players that could start for Dallas in 2025

Welcome to April and that means we are officially in NFL draft month. Guess who will probably need to hit a home run in every single round to be above average this year? The Dallas Cowboys!

Before we dive into all of that though, let’s just think about the current makeup of the Dallas Cowboys roster. They have some serious issues they need to correct.

They made a handful of moves two weeks ago, but have been silent since, and the problem is, the guys they brought in can’t fix all the glaring needs of this football team.

That leaves...

Waiting on the Micah Parsons deal could lead to another protracted wait

Waiting on the Micah Parsons deal could lead to another protracted wait

Amidst the flurry of news across the NFL landscape in March, including free agency, trades and extensions that saw the market reset higher for players at nearly every position thanks to the continually rising the salary cap, the Dallas Cowboys have been largely quiet.

This in spite of the fact that two-time first-team All-Pro, four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Micah Parsons remains unsigned past the 2025 season. Extension-eligible since the end of the 2023 regular season came to a conclusion almost fifteen months ago, the Dallas front office has once again waited so long to reach an extension with a...

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones says team does not believe they wait too long for deals

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones says team does not believe they wait too long for deals

Stephen Jones thinks we are all wrong for saying the Cowboys wait too long to do deals.

The Dallas Cowboys are fine being patient. Consider that over the course of the last 14 or so months that the team has had negotiations with their franchise quarterback, top wide receiver and elite pass rusher at the top (seemingly) of their to-do list (obviously there were other things on the list).

Before last season ever began, CeeDee Lamb had come close to becoming the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. Right about when the ink was drying on his deal Dak Prescott did...

Cowboys defense: Comparing secondary additions/subtractions from 2024 to now

The Cowboys secondary has changed a lot in a short amount of time.

Looking back at the 2024 Dallas Cowboys season, there wasn’t much that went to plan or left fans feeling great about the direction of a team that fell from first to third in their own division. The obvious weaknesses this team had going into the campaign predictably held them back, and even the few strengths they needed to lean in to to have any success were hampered by injuries, inconsistent play, or just too many unforced mistakes. One of these potential strengths was in the secondary, where...

4 wide receivers the Cowboys should consider drafting on day two

WR2 needs to be a huge focus for the Cowboys during the NFL Draft.

With most of the free agent wide receivers off the market, the Cowboys will likely need to turn to the NFL draft to find their CeeDee Lamb complement.

The Cowboys brought in Parris Campbell on a cheap free agent deal, and are hoping to see a jump from Jonathan Mingo, who they acquired via trade at the trade deadline, but in reality the WR2 role is still missing in the Cowboys offense. Dallas may very well look to use their first-round pick on the position, but...

Are the Cowboys finished in 2025’s pre-draft free agency?

The Dallas Cowboys were surprisingly active in the first few weeks of free agency this year. At least in quantity if not in quality.

As the first month of the NFL’s new year winds down, the Cowboys currently have 75 players on the active roster and already counting against the cap.

They have another 17 players piling up nearly $21 million in dead cap money.
