No Need To Be Surprised; Jerry Is Just Being Jerry

Posted: 14th April 2010 by Derek Major in NFL
When I woke up this morning and looked at the morning headlines and saw what Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had done, I wasn't shocked, upset, or angry. Instead I thought to myself, hmmm this sounds about right. Now when I say this sound right, I'm not talking about what he said about Tony Romo or Bill Parcells. I'm talking about Jones taking credit for someone else's work. This is nothing new ...

Dallas Cowboys’ Cuts Change Entire Draft for Team

Posted: 2nd April 2010 by Derek Major in NFL
Less than an hour ago, the Cowboys cut left tackle Flozell Adams and safety Ken Hamlin, leaving two important spots on the team without a starter.  And Wade Phillips' offseason was going along so quietly.  This pretty much changes the entire draft scheme for Dallas, but before we look into the future, let's look at who's already on the roster that can step in.  At left tackle, Doug Free seems to be the only ...

The Cowboys’ Running Game Could be Affected by the Draft.

Posted: 29th March 2010 by Derek Major in NFL
The Cowboys three headed running attack—Smash, Dash, and Tash—could be seeing some changes on draft day.  We all know that Felix Jones isn't going anywhere. All last season Jerry Jones talked about how Felix needed to get more carries and more opportunities on the field. He showed during the end of the season, and in the playoffs, that he could carry the weight and be a starter. Now it seems that ...

Dallas Cowboys’ Lunch Pail Team

Posted: 26th March 2010 by Derek Major in NFL
With the draft about a month away and the Cowboys quiet in free agency, it's time to give some credit to certain Cowboys. These guys don't start and don't make the big dollars but still played hard and contributed to the Cowboys overall success last season.   So I bring you the Dallas Cowboys lunch pail team.    Alan Ball, Safety/Cornerback  Ball might look lazy here, but when anyone got hurt in the Cowboys ...

Expect Dallas Cowboys to Continue to Stay Quiet in Free Agency

Posted: 12th March 2010 by Derek Major in NFL
The Cowboys have been very quiet in free agency so far, not even interviewing a player or showing the slightest bit of interest in anyone. And you should expect it to stay that way.  The Cowboys have good reason not to jump the gun in free agency, but that doesn't mean they won't make a move eventually. Last year, the Cowboys took their time and landed safety Gerald Sensabaugh, defensive end ...

Posted: 26th February 2010 by Derek Major in NFL
With the franchising deadline having passed it's time for the Cowboys to get to work on free agency. The Cowboys have just one unrestricted free agent, but 12 restricted free agents. So, here's a breakdown of each agent and what the Jerry Jones plan of attack is with each player.   Montrae Holland  Holland is the Cowboys only unrestricted free agent, and he won't be back. He almost never challenged for a backup spot and ...

Posted: 7th January 2010 by Derek Major in NFL
The Dallas Cowboys host the Eagles once again, this time on Saturday night of Wild Card Weekend. The Eagles have to return to the place where they were routed just six days before and this time they're mad. Quarterback Donovan McNabb said last week's game was a "humbling experience." He'll be trying to make this weekend a fantastic experience, but his receivers can't fail him this time around. Brenk Celek was the only ...
