I have a dry-cleaner who loves giving me health advice. Every week, she tells something new to try, a water fast, linseed oil, all sorts of homeopathic stuff, tai chi walking, cupping therapy, you get the drift. I always nod politely and change our small talk to a different topic. The other day, she looked me in the eye and says,

“You’re not doing any of the stuff I’m telling you, right?“

“No.”

“So, you’re one of those ‘1+1=2’ guys, yeah?“

I cannot deny this. But I now understand that there must be ‘1+1=3’ people or even ‘1+1=4’ folks for...

Dallas heads to Oxnard with two first-round defensive picks in the fold, a real competition behind Dak Prescott, and a win total that has already moved since February.

A Defense Built to Answer Last Year’s Problem

The Dallas Cowboys spent the 2025 season allowing more points than every other team, and that number decided how the offseason went. Brian Schottenheimer enters his second year as head coach with a defense that looks almost nothing like the one that finished 7-9-1.

Dallas traded defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to the San Francisco 49ers, added edge rusher Rashan Gary in a deal...

The Cowboys position groups are harder to rank than you would think.

A few position groups are some of the best in the NFL, so the top of the list was much easier for me than the middle down. The harder positions will need young players to grow up in a hurry, and veterans to stay healthy.

These same positions will need someone in those groups to step up and take the lead before things get messy after the season starts.

Love it or hate it, this is how I see the position groups being ranked.

1. Wide Receiver...

There’s a very loud quiet surrounding George Pickens and the Dallas Cowboys ahead of training camp – Mauricio Rodriguez, AtoZ Sports

This is a great thing for all parties involved.

So, hey! George Pickens finally made a headline… for showing up to practice with Dak Prescott and other Dallas Cowboys offensive players at a “skill retreat” ahead of training camp.

That’s the first time Pickens has been news in a while. Which is proof the Cowboys’ franchise tag strategy with wide receiver George Pickens appears to be working exactly as planned. Particularly this week.

...

Every year, there’s usually at least one undrafted rookie who Cowboys fans become particularly interested in. Baylor’s Michael Trigg is that guy in 2026, and some of the projections for his role and potential at the TE position are pretty lofty.

Trigg fits the profile of the modern TE, long-armed and athletic with receiving skills as his top trait. He was one of the better receiving options in the 2026 class, with one of the more impressive highlight reels of the group, but character concerns and a deep TE class...

When it comes to the state of the Dallas Cowboys there are a lot of things about the team that we really like. Obviously each of us has our specific things.

We all “like” something because it seems to provide the team an edge. We’d all love for the Cowboys to have the best this, the best that, and for those things to help push the overall team over the bigger edge in a way that hasn’t happened in a generation and then some.

Where would you say they have the biggest “edge”, though?

Wide receiver feels like the answer...

*It is Day 65 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff. We are looking back at the 100 most iconic games in Dallas Cowboys history. The countdown will leads us right up to the opening game of 2026. Our look back doesn’t depend on just one criteria for our rankings. We take into consideration things like how big the game was for the organization, how memorable the game was, games that had unusual events take place, games that are a part of NFL lore, Cowboys firsts, and games where the Cowboys just plain dominated. Variety is the spice of life and...

Just a few weeks stand between the Dallas Cowboys and the start of 2026 training camp. Dallas officially reports to Oxnard on July 28th, with the first training camp practice taking place on the 29th.

The Cowboys’ roster looks significantly different from what it did at this time last year, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. With that thought in mind, today we continue our series ranking the top 10 players on the Cowboys’ roster for the 2026 season.

2) Dak Prescott

With most teams, there are multiple reasons for in-season collapses.

For the 2025 Dallas Cowboys? You didn’t need Inspector Poirot to deduce that everything that went wrong had to do with the defense.

Matt Eberflus’ “Back to the 1990s” stale schemes created miscommunications and busts that were fairly epic, especially considering the talent Eberflus had to work with. It was one of the worst coaching jobs in recent NFL history, and it showed on the field. Dallas ranked dead last in Defensive DVOA by an absolute landslide, and they allowed the NFL’s third-most yards (6,409), the second-most yards per play...

We are inching closer and closer to training camp beginning for every NFL team, and when it does all of the offseason storylines and narratives will officially be a thing of the past. Not quite yet, though.

This week ESPN has been slow-dripping positional rankings that they assemble through their filtering of opinions from NFL executives, coaches, and scouts. The premise behind the series is that ESPN’s sourcing is providing a ranking of each position group across the league through the eyes of the most influential people currently in it.

So far things have been rather chalk in terms of...

This season, the Dallas Cowboys have the fifth toughest schedule in the NFL. In recent discussions about the Cowboys’ strength of schedule, opinions have been divided about whether a soft or a tough schedule is more conducive to playoff success.

Proponents of a soft schedule usually argue that being well rested and healthy as a result of a softer schedule is an advantage going into the playoffs. And then there’s a school of thought arguing it’s better playing tougher opponents, because your team will be battle tested entering the playoffs – you’ve beaten good teams and as a result, your...

Klayton Adams has head coach buzz because of the Cowboys run game turnaround, but his resume still needs a closer look before anyone crowns him.

The thing is, I’m not going to pretend Klayton Adams has a perfect road sitting in front of him. He doesn’t, but I’m also not going to throw the whole idea in the trash.

I see the argument for this guy, and I also see the red flags in his coaching background. Klayton Adams lands in two buckets of coaching types. He is a non-play-calling offensive coordinator. The second is he is also an offensive...
