How the Cowboys could land four quality defensive starters in the 2026 NFL draft

How the Cowboys could land four quality defensive starters in the 2026 NFL draft

The Dallas Cowboys won’t be playing in the playoffs this season. Again. As they turn the page and look to regroup, a great deal of attention will be directed at fixing the defense. The team took its first step by firing defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus on Tuesday. A new guy running the defense, combined with some new players from April’s draft, will go a long way in determining if they can get back on track.

The Cowboys currently own the 12th overall pick thanks to finishing with a losing record for the second straight season. They also own the rights...

Cowboys’ Flournoy measuring up well versus the rest of the 2024 draft class

The Dallas Cowboys will not be representing The Star in the 2025 NFL Playoffs, but there are still some good things to take away from the season.

For one, the offense was electric, and only seemed to struggle when forced to play one-dimensionally because the defense couldn’t get a stop to save their lives.

QB Dak Prescott is at the head of the league’s top-scoring offense.

With weapons like wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens to throw to, it’s no wonder he led the league in passing yards until sitting out the second half of the Week 18 finale...

If Jerry Jones wants more Super Bowls, he needs to fire Jerry Jones

If Jerry Jones wants more Super Bowls, he needs to fire Jerry Jones

In Wednesday’s postmortem press conference for the Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 season, Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, and Brian Schottenheimer covered a lot of topics. One of the biggest sound bites from the media session was Jerry’s expressed goal of finishing his ownership run with the most Super Bowls in NFL history. While highly unrealistic at this point, the brazen statement also reflected just how misguided Jones’s effort to achieve that feat is, and how little he even understands his own motivation.

There were several moments on Wednesday when Jones tried to reassure Cowboys fans that he was as passionate about winning...

Handing out 2025 season awards for the Dallas Cowboys

Handing out 2025 season awards for the Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys aimed for a fresh start in 2025, but the results were pretty much the same as a season ago. Sadly, the Cowboys ended up with yet another losing season for the second year in a row. For consecutive years they’ve only managed to win a total of seven games. and they’ll need to make some major moves in the offseason to prevent that from happening yet again.

As disappointing as the 2025 season was for the Cowboys, there were some bright spots that kept us locked in and entertained throughout the year. We’re highlighting some of those...

Former Cowboys to keep an eye on in the Playoffs

Former Cowboys to keep an eye on in the Playoffs

I would much rather be talking about the Dallas Cowboys getting ready for a playoff game right about now, but we all know why that did not happen.

Still, a lot of good football will be played this weekend, and throughout the next few weeks, so that got me thinking. How many former Dallas Cowboys players will we see?

As I started going over them all, I thought to myself, this could make for a very interesting post. Who are the top former Dallas players that we will see over the next few weeks in the playoffs?

Cowboys request to interview fan favorite for defensive coordinator

The Dallas Cowboys have started their search for a new defensive coordinator. Todd Archer of ESPN released a list of the team’s initial requests to interview three candidates. The names included are Minnesota Vikings pass game coordinator Daronte Jones, Cleveland Browns safeties coach Ephraim Banda, and Denver Broncos assistant HC/pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard.

Out of the three names, Leonhard has emerged as a fan favorite to be the Cowboys’ play-caller on defense. Leonhard is someone head coach Brian Schottenheimer is familiar with, having spent three years together with the New York Jets from 2009-2011, when Schottenheimer was the offensive...

The Dallas Cowboys boast a number of talented players across their storied history and one of them is the incredible Darren Woodson (who deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame). Woody was a part of one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history and was individually one of the reasons that it existed

Recently Darren joined Blogging The Boys to discuss a variety of things. We obviously talked about the Cowboys both past and present, the Arizona State Sun Devils, but we also talked about the awareness that Woody is trying to raise for cancer prevention alongside...

Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator tracker: Names, rumors, news

The Dallas Cowboys fired Matt Eberflus on Tuesday morning and are now on the hunt for what will be their fourth defensive coordinator in as many years.

It is going to be interesting to see how this shakes out. Brian Schottenheimer will likely want to find someone to serve as a point of stability for obvious reasons, but the defense has been so bad lately that the Cowboys can not exactly afford to be picky. Simply put, it is a hire that the organization must get right.

Jerry Jones was perceived to have had a big influence on Matt Eberflus...
