How the Cowboys can morph themselves into having a much-improved linebacker position group

How the Cowboys can morph themselves into having a much-improved linebacker position group

When it comes to the Cowboys linebacker group, the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts.

The defense of the Dallas Cowboys is getting better. For years the defense was the Achilles heel for this team. As good as they were offensively, there always was a ceiling for how far this team would go because the defense wasn’t good enough.

Times have changed. The Cowboys have improved quite a bit on defense, especially considering the backslide of the 2020 season, known as the Mike Nolan anomaly. Breaking down the last four seasons, the Cowboys' efficiency versus the pass...

Dallas Cowboys are 1-point underdogs to the Cleveland Browns in Week 1

The Dallas Cowboys hit the road for the first game of the 2024 season to face the Cleveland Browns. They are 1-point underdogs according to DraftKings.

The Dallas Cowboys 2024 season will start on the road, and it will be a challenging game for the good guys. Their opponent will be the Cleveland Browns, a team that made the playoffs last year and have a roster that could give the Cowboys fits.

The Cowboys are in the midst of an offseason that has seen a significant amount of starting talent, and role players, leave the team in free agency. Dallas...

5th round draft pick looks to re-earn college nickname for Cowboys

5th round draft pick looks to re-earn college nickname for Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys added some depth to the cornerback room in the 5th round of the 2024 NFL draft.

Caelen Carson was given the nickname seatbelt when he was a freshman at Wake Forest.

The nickname started when a teammate told Carson during his first year on the team that he was “always locking somebody up,” but now that he is in the NFL with the Cowboys, he says he plans to re-earn that nickname.

“I think you're not...

Ranking the 5 best possible Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day matchups

One thing is for certain and it is that the Dallas Cowboys will play on Thanksgiving Day in 2024.

By Wednesday night of this week we will officially know the Dallas Cowboys schedule for the 2024 season. Much of our plans for the fall and winter revolve around when the Cowboys are playing, so understanding the ‘when’ is always a breath of fresh air. History points us in certain directions in terms of what we think the schedule will bring, but obviously until it is known everything is speculation.

One thing that is certain is that the Cowboys will host...

Tyler Guyton gets the ultimate rookie test playing against Myles Garrett in Week 1

Tyler Guyton gets the ultimate rookie test playing against Myles Garrett in Week 1

Tyler Guyton couldn't have drawn a tougher first assignment in the NFL.

The 2024 NFL schedule release is on Wednesday. However, as is always the case, leaks are starting to come out, and it was revealed on Monday that the Dallas Cowboys will travel to play the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. The Browns are coming off of a playoff season and have a talented roster, so it will be a challenging opening assignment for the Cowboys.

Speaking of assignments, rookie left tackle Tyler Guyton will have as challenging of a task as any offensive lineman in the league to...

As OTAs near, Cowboys looking thin at linebacker

As OTAs near, Cowboys looking thin at linebacker

Even if Micah Parsons and Sam Williams split time on the line and at linebacker there is one big issue in Dallas:

The Cowboys are thin at this position in 2024. And it doesn't look like there's any help coming.

Both Parsons and Williams are listed as defensive ends on the depth chart.

Both can move around and play as linebackers as needed.

But that still leaves just eight linebackers on the roster as the team preps for next...

Cowboys roster battle: Cooper Beebe vs Brock Hoffman

Cowboys roster battle: Cooper Beebe vs Brock Hoffman

Cooper Beebe was drafted to be the next center of the Dallas Cowboys, but Brock Hoffman doesn’t look like he will be conceding the job without a fight.

One of the most approved moves of this offseason for Cowboys Nation came with the selection of Cooper Beebe in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The big and physical Kansas State offensive lineman fired up the fanbase with the idea that he would instantly add some toughness and a bit of nasty to the group of big guys up front.

While the selection of Beebe was a good one,...

Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey looks to be more than a one-year wonder

Where do you rank Brandon Aubrey among NFL kickers?

Few kickers in NFL history, especially in their debuts, have had better seasons than Brandon Aubrey did last year. The Dallas Cowboys’ kicker enters 2024 hoping to maintain his sensational start and establishing himself as one of the top players at his position, more than just a fluke.

At 28 years old, after converting from soccer and spending a year in the USFL, Aubrey got onto the radar of NFL scouting departments and received an opportunity with Dallas in last year’s camp. He quickly outshined journeyman Tristan Vizcaino and was given...

Cowboys roster battle: DeMarvion Overshown vs Marist Liufau

A lot is depending on DeMarvion Overshown and Marist Liufau in 2024.

One of the more disappointing things to happen to the Dallas Cowboys in 2023 was the injury to then-rookie linebacker DeMarvion Overshown. When he went down with a torn ACL in a preseason game, it ended what many had hoped to be an exciting rookie campaign for the former Longhorn.

Fast forward to the current day and Overshown is on his way to being back on the field, and with an opportunity to be a huge part of the Cowboys' defense. While the excitement is there, so are...

Report: Detroit Lions, Jared Goff expected to beat Cowboys, Dak Prescott to contract extension

It appears as if the Lions and Jared Goff could beat the Cowboys and Dak Prescott to the quarterback contract extension table.

The reality of the situation is what it is. We have talked many times about markets, the law of supply and demand and how all of this is relevant to contract talks in the NFL with notable players at notable positions. There is no need to re-litigate it all.

This is true because by now you are either Team Dak or Team Let Dak Walk as far as quarterback Dak Prescott is concerned. Given that Dak is at...

NFL to Netflix? Network is expected to land a pair of 2024 games

I was waiting to hold off writing about this until more details were released, but it seems like Netflix may win the media rights to a pair of NFL games in 2024.

Netflix seems to be the front-runner to land two NFL games scheduled for Christmas Day.

Nothing has been made official about this, but it was first reported by Puck's John Ourand, citing anonymous sources.

The NFL declined to comment on any of this, and probably won't until the ink hits the paper and they make it official.

Netflix is already becoming the exclusive home of WWE's “Monday Night...
